Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Jiang Zhe stood in front of a work and looked at it carefully.

This is the work of a senior student in her senior year. The shape is somewhat abstract, with traces of learning from Bonnard and Matisse.

A classmate came over. "Jiang Zhe, whose work do you think is better?"

Although this classmate's voice was very low, Jiang Zhe didn't want to praise or criticize him in front of everyone.

He smiled and said, "They are all good."

At this time, several graduate students sent their works in. The small exhibition room was already filled with works, and because many people stayed here, it was already a bit crowded.

Teacher Hu and another teacher wanted to drive away those who put down their works but refused to leave. They said it several times but it didn't work, so they had to call out their names one by one.

Many students had to leave reluctantly.

Jiang Zhe saw Teacher Hu looking at him and hurried out of the exhibition room.

Seeing Jiang Zhe heading for the door, Teacher Hu went to shoo others away again. "Okay, everyone go back and wait for the results."

Jiang Zhe walked out of the classroom and left with several classmates.

Several senior students who knew Jiang Zhe walked out of the exhibition room one after another.

One of them took a few quick steps, caught up with Jiang Zhe, and said to him, "Brother Jiang, your work should be fine. I dare not say when it comes to higher-level ones, but there will definitely be a place for you at the provincial or municipal level."

He was in the exhibition room and saw many people surrounding Jiang Zhe's work. He felt a little jealous, so he hurried over to say a few words.

Jiang Zhe could hear the meaning behind his words. His work was evaluated as a masterpiece by the system. Although it was not a masterpiece of the level of being handed down from generation to generation, he was confident that he could participate in the selection. However, this person's words were meant to praise him, but at this time, he meant to draw hatred from him.

He responded calmly: "That's not necessarily true. Our classmates' works are all very good. When you say that, it seems like there is an internal decision. After the school selects the candidates, there will be a city-level selection. No one can guarantee that they will be selected."

"You are too modest." The student replied with a smile.

At this time, Fu Min heard something wrong and spoke up, "Senior, I think your work is good, so I think you should have a share this time."

"Me? I'm just here to participate."

A few people were walking and talking, and when they saw Professor Qin and a group of teachers coming over, they stopped and greeted the teachers one after another.

Several teachers told the students they were familiar with to go back quickly.

Leaving the exhibition room, the crowd dispersed.

Jiang Zhe returned to his studio and completed his works.

I met Teacher Luan twice this week, but he never mentioned his work.

Jiang Zhe takes time out every day to draw.

Because of the transparent glazing technique, each layer of color needs to be dried before the subsequent painting can be carried out, so the painting speed is relatively slow.

A group of six small paintings he created were completed first. These six paintings have been modified several times.

Jiang Zhe’s favorites are the two pictures of Luan Yuhui lying on her side and on her back.

The woman in the painting seems to be inviting the viewer to join in the playful activities.

Jiang Zhe also added some accessories to the paintings. For example, in the work of Luan Yuhui lying on her side, he added velvet as a foil, and in the corner of another work, he added a puppy. In the work of tidying clothes in front of the mirror, he added flowers, etc.

He looked at his own works, wondering how these six paintings should be framed so that they could be viewed like an album.

The system prompt sound.

Jiang Zhe put down his painting, opened the system, and saw a new prompt.

You have completed the contract model mission and can claim your reward.

Click on the task to see the detailed evaluation:

You have invited Luan Yuhui to be a painting model, received her praise, and used her as a material to complete more than one fine work. You will have a chance to win a special lottery.

When Jiang Zhe saw that there was no financial reward this time but there was a special lottery, he immediately became interested.

He used a special lottery opportunity and saw a text explanation.

In this special lottery, all the prizes are special. Some have special attributes, and some are special opportunities.

Jiang Zhe clicks to receive the lottery.

A ball rolling game appears on the page.

Click start, the ball rolls in the channel and finally falls into a grid.

The page shows that you have won a special opportunity.

Jiang Zhe clicks to receive.

The page shows: You have received a special opportunity, which can be used in the following events.

One, the Venice Biennale;

Second, the Time Auction held in the spring;
3. Christie’s auction held in spring;

Jiang Zhe didn't know what specific benefits this special opportunity could bring him, but since it was special, it shouldn't be a trivial benefit.

He currently has some bonus funds accumulated, which can be used in the auction. However, the opportunity of the Biennale is very rare, so he did not hesitate to use the special opportunity to participate in the Biennale.

After clicking "Use", the system prompts: You have two channels to participate in the Biennale. The first channel is through Wang Zhen's gallery and other companies, and the second channel is through domestic selection.

The system will select the appropriate channel for you based on changes in actual conditions.

Jiang Zhe saw this opportunity and actually left some suspense.

He closed the system page.

This is good, leaving suspense before the final outcome, which may bring surprises. …

The door of the small exhibition room was pushed open.

The head of the Department of Plastic Arts walked in and saw the teachers in charge of the selection looking at the list, all of them looking worried.

The teachers greeted the director one after another.

"Is there any result?"

"We are discussing it."

The director glanced at the list in everyone's hands and said with a smile: "It has been reviewed twice, which shows that everyone is very dedicated. But we can't keep dragging it out. Should we still use secret ballot? According to the number of votes?"

The teachers had no better idea and could only nod.

We have conducted two centralized selections, and the results of each selection were controversial. Among more than 20 works, were selected. Every teacher has a work that he or she wants to recommend, but the number of places is always limited.

Teacher Hu and several young teachers quickly prepared the secret ballots and distributed them to all teachers participating in the review.

Each teacher writes down the number of the work he or she recommends.

The Academic Affairs Office and the Student Affairs Office also sent people to prepare the statistical results.

More than a dozen teachers cast their votes and the count was completed quickly.

Finally, the results were announced and 20 works were successfully selected based on the number of votes.

The department head looked at the results and said, "Among the teachers here, there are several who will participate in the school's overall selection. Wait a minute, these teachers will come with me to the college for a meeting."

He arranged for Teacher Hu and others to inform the students to move their works back. The selected students' works were moved to the school art gallery exhibition hall to participate in the school competition.

He then left with several teachers who were part of the school review group.

When the other teachers left, they were inevitably reluctant, but there was nothing they could do.

Teacher Hu notified the oil painting major and the class monitors of each class separately.

After the cultural class was over, Jiang Zhe walked out of the classroom and received a call from the class monitor.

"What instructions does the squad leader have?"

The monitor said, "Jiang Zhe, congratulations. Your work has been selected for our oil painting major."

Jiang Zhe was not surprised. "Thank you, are there any follow-up arrangements?"

The monitor said, "Please notify the students in our class nearby to move their works back to the small exhibition room. Those who are selected will move their works to the exhibition hall of the art gallery."

The monitor also told Jiang Zhe that there were five people in his class who were selected: Mou Xing, Fu Min, the monitor, and another classmate.

There are 4 places for four grades and graduate students. With 20 people from each class selected, the selection ratio is already very high.

After ending the call, Jiang Zhe notified several fellow classmates nearby.

On the way to the exhibition hall with several classmates, he met Mou Xing again.

When chatting with classmates, the two tried to avoid this topic as much as possible so as not to irritate those students who were not selected.

Several people came to the exhibition room and saw that many people had already gathered there.

Some people have already left with their works, while some people, although not selected, still stayed and congratulated the students who were selected.

When Teacher Hu saw Jiang Zhe and his friends, he asked them to wait for a while and go to the art museum after the others had moved their works away.

Jiang Zhe looked at the small exhibition room where people were coming and going.

Some people were dejected; some were smiling happily; some were greeting and chatting with familiar people, while others had dissatisfaction and regret written on their faces.

This kind of elimination is undoubtedly cruel. There are only so many opportunities and everyone has to try their best.

Fu Min and a few other girls walked into the small exhibition room, talking and laughing.

The selected students congratulated each other with sweet smiles on their faces.

When Teacher Hu saw that all the selected candidates had arrived, he organized everyone to submit their works together.

Jiang Zhe carried his own work and walked in the team, listening to the squad leader and Fu Min chatting. He and Mou Xing occasionally joined in.

He secretly rejoiced that all the classmates with whom he had a good relationship were selected this time.

During the trip, Teacher Hu took the initiative to tell Jiang Zhe and the others, "There are five people in your class who were selected, which is the highest ratio. There are only two people in the freshman year who were selected. There are also not as many people in the junior and senior years as in your class."

Jiang Zhe said: "That's because you taught me well."

"Correct."

"That's right, it depends on who paid it!" Fu Min and the others reconciled.

"Don't be so smooth, okay?" Teacher Hu joked with the students and at the same time recalled a conversation he had with Professor Qin.

This time, the whole school's selection process was conducted by each major. I heard that the selection process of other majors was not smooth.

The oil painting major was evaluated three times before the result was announced. The main reason was that there were too many selected students in Jiang Zhe's class.

In the end, 5 people were selected.

Afterwards, Professor Qin analyzed that the reason for this situation might be that Jiang Zhe and others made rapid progress, forcing other students to actively respond and make changes.

In nearly two years, the gap has widened invisibly.

When the group arrived at the art museum, they saw students majoring in printmaking, sculpture, Chinese painting, etc., also coming to present their works.
