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

studio.

Jiang Zhe invited Wang Zhen to drink tea and eat fruit.

Wang Zhen described to him what had happened recently in the provincial capital's art circle.

Many painters and related galleries and institutions have already started working for this selection. Those with more introverted personalities work hard, while those with more extroverted personalities start to build momentum early.

"That Lu Lingling actually dared to call me. What did she say? Sister Wang, I will help Teacher Ruan and Teacher Liu to hold a celebration banquet, you must come!" Wang Zhen vividly described the scene when someone called her.

Her tone and actions amused Jiang Zhe.

"Don't laugh. She mentioned you. She also asked me to convey her invitation to you. Bah! The result is not out yet, but the two people she added seem to have won awards. How shameless." Wang Zhen rarely speaks without caring about his image.

Jiang Zhe estimated that the competition between her and the other party was extremely intense.

Jiang Zhe had also heard of the two painters that Wang Zhen mentioned. They were somewhat famous in the provincial capital.

Jiang Zhe said, "Why are you arguing with her? We're not going."

Wang Zhen said angrily, "Just because she was so arrogant and planned a celebration banquet before the result, I dare say that she will be embarrassed this time. When your work wins, I will help you hold a celebration banquet in the provincial capital."

Jiang Zhe hurriedly stopped him: "Just now you said she was arrogant. Why do you want to do the same thing?"

"This is different. We didn't make big promises in advance. We'll do it after the results come out. If..." Wang Zhen paused here and said, "There is no if. You are very sure."

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to say, "I'll just give you some good advice. Even if you succeed, don't be too proud. It will annoy people."

He hopes to succeed and also hopes to get more rewards by completing tasks, but he doesn't want to do it in a blatant way.

Wang Zhen understood what he meant: "I know your character. But you need to create your own fame.

Some painters do things that seem outrageous and shameless to outsiders, not necessarily because they really want to do so, but for publicity.

You see, a lot of things in those variety shows on TV are scripts.

I plan to arrange some publicity for you this time."

Jiang Zhe quickly stated his attitude: "Manager Wang, even if you want to help me promote, some things should be discussed after I graduate from university. After all, I am still under the management of the school."

"Okay. I respect your choice." Wang Zhen really didn't dare to force Jiang Zhe to do something.

After chatting for a while, Wang Zhen said goodbye and left.

Jiang Zhe entrusted all the selection matters to Wang Zhen and no longer paid attention to it.

He called Liu Yifei and asked her to come to the studio to be a model.

The exercises in the morning needed to be further enriched. He wanted to ask Liu Yifei to play the role of the characters in the painting.

During the preparation time, I received a call from Sister Liao.

In recent times, Sister Liao has quietly returned several times.

Jiang Zhe roughly guessed the reason why Sister Liao called.

Sister Liao's voice was the same as always: "Where is Jiang Zhe?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I'm in the studio."

Sister Liao immediately changed her tone: "Xiaozhe, I heard that the national art exhibition is currently undergoing a provincial selection in the provincial capital. Is your work among them?"

When Jiang Zhe heard her call him Xiaozhe again, he didn't care and thought, he would deal with her next time they met.

"Yes, the works have just been shipped to the provincial capital. Did you know?"

Sister Liao said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

There was a hint of anger in the voice.

Jiang Zhe said, "The school will arrange for teachers and students to participate in this selection. Wang Zhen will also go to the provincial capital soon. They will handle it, so I don't have to worry about it. It's not important, so don't bother you." Sister Liao said, "What can I say to you? I understand that men have self-esteem, but you also have to know that as long as you participate in this kind of competition, you must go all out to strive for a good result. Many people don't have the ability or the channels, but they still have to try every possible way. Remember, you must tell me about this kind of thing."

"I understand. I'll remember it. I know you care about me." Jiang Zhe said.

"Do you know how I found out? Someone actually used his connections to find me. I asked around and found out that your work was among the works selected by your school." Her voice became louder and louder.

Jiang Zhe explained: "Sister Liao, I don't want to make things difficult for you because of this matter."

Sister Liao said, "I'm not stupid. Don't worry, I won't break the rules for you. All I can do is let you participate fairly."

"I understand, thank you." Jiang Zhe said.

"Are you painting the dance student in this work again?" asked Sister Liao.

Jiang Zhe understood that Yuan Xiaohan's image appeared several times in his works, and Sister Liao was uncomfortable with it.

"Next time I create a work, should I change the model, or create a landscape painting?"

Sister Liao said: "The Provincial Art Museum has collected your works, namely the mountain village series, and often exhibits them.

Once, I passed by there and suddenly wanted to go in and take a look.

I found that many people are watching your work again.

At that time, there was a teacher who was explaining your work to his students.

I was standing nearby, and hearing those compliments made me feel very happy.”

Jiang Zhe listened to Sister Liao's description and thought of that work. "It has been a while since I created a work with a similar theme."

Sister Liao said: "In our cultural environment, this kind of realistic work still has a good market."

The two chatted about professional issues and talked about their respective lives. After a long time, they ended the call.

Jiang Zhe stood in front of the window, thinking about the advice given to him by Wang Zhen and Sister Liao
Their suggestions were all based on their personal understanding and could not be considered wrong, but they were somewhat different from Jiang Zhe's ideas.

Jiang Zhe prefers to follow his own feelings and paint. When inspiration strikes, he follows his heart and creates.

What's more, I can now sell my paintings without being strictly bound by the market.

He enjoys his current situation.

He would consider accepting different suggestions carefully.

Liu Yifei knocked on the door of the studio.

Jiang Zhe invited her into the studio.

"Have you eaten? Sorry, the weather is not very good today, but I still invited you here."

"I'm fine, the rain has stopped." Liu Yifei replied.

Jiang Zhe asked Liu Yifei to hold an umbrella and walk on the balcony, simulating a pedestrian in the rain.

Because the indoor space was limited and the lighting was not right, Jiang Zhe had to take Liu Yifei to the open space in the community.

Here, Liu Yifei imitates a pedestrian in the rain, and her movements are more natural.

Occasionally, people passed by the community, and Jiang Zhe had to take pictures and take Liu Yifei back to the studio.

He used Liu Yifei as a reference for his creation, combining his expertise in character portrayal with the depiction of rain scenes to make new attempts.

In order to verify his idea, he used direct painting method to create several small-scale paintings in succession.

In the evening, after Jiang Zhe saw Liu Yifei off, he recalled the many inconveniences he had encountered during today's sketching, and a thought came to his mind again. (End of this chapter)
