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

Chapter 51, Probe, Art Exam, Disc (Happy New Year's Eve)
The assistant had followed Ning Anchi and had experienced many situations. He also knew that the elderly living here were very important to his boss, so he was very cautious while waiting in the living room and was even polite to the two staff members here.

She answered the phone three times and waited for about an hour. Ning Anchi finally came out and the old man walked him to the living room.

"Teacher Miao, you should have a good rest. I will come to see you when I have time."

"You are a busy man, and I am an idle person. Don't come to me all the time." The old man's voice was hoarse, and he had to take a breath after every word he spoke.

Ning Anchi leaned over and approached the old man: "If you need anything, call me directly, or ask the nurse to call me."

"Go back, go back." The old man waved his hand.

Ning Anchi said goodbye and left.

The assistant opened the car door, and Ning Anchi said to the nurse who was seeing him off, "Teacher Miao, if you need anything, be sure to call me."

"I remember."

Ning Anchi got into the car and the vehicle started slowly.

The assistant, sitting in the front row, glanced at the rearview mirror and guessed that things would probably not go well today.

However, she never dared to say anything about such things.

……

Jiang Zhe was preparing for his last art exam in the studio. Although this exam was only used to complete the system tasks, he still carefully estimated the test questions and practiced them.

The school's previous test patterns generally included portrait sketching, dictation of gouache still life, and advertising poster design.

He only took three hours to complete the three estimated test questions. Seeing that there was still time before dinner, he took out the portrait of the boy and painted it again.

I have already drawn the image of this boy six times, and I have memorized his characteristics by heart. I did not even use pencils to make a draft, but started painting directly with watercolors.

During this redrawing process, he did not look at the original manuscript, and added some subjective imagination and thinking to get closer to creation.

After more than thirty minutes, a watercolor portrait was completed.

This work is somewhat different from the previous one, and even the angle of the portrait is slightly changed, but the effect is much more vivid.

He picked up his phone and dialed the number of Ning Anchi's assistant.

"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang?" The assistant quickly answered the phone.

"Hello, I have already painted the photo into a watercolor painting. Could you please contact Mr. Ning and tell me when I can send it to you?"

"Please wait."

The assistant handed the phone directly to Ning Anchi.

"Jiang Zhe, you're done."

"Sister Ning, I'm done."

"Are you in the studio or at home?"

"In the studio."

"I'll go directly to your studio. It just so happens that I also want to visit your studio."

"Welcome, I'll wait for you at the parking lot."

Ning Anchi put down his phone and said to the driver, "Lao Liu, go directly to Jiang Zhe's studio."

"it is good."

The car arrived safely near the studio.

Ning Anchi was in the car and saw Jiang Zhe waiting on the roadside with a small local dog in his hand.

Jiang Zhe saw the car door open and went over to say hello: "Sister Ning."

Ning Anchi put on a smile and said, "Sorry to bother you."

The little dog became alert when he saw someone approaching.

After Jiang Zhe calmed it down, it finally calmed down.

"Which building do you live in?"

Jiang Zhe pointed with his hand: "It's not far. You just need to climb the stairs. In fact, I can take you there."

"It's okay, I just happened to pass by here." Ning Anchi and his assistant followed Jiang Zhe to the studio, and the driver stayed in the car.

Jiang Zhe led the two up the stairs and opened the door: "Please come in. The studio is rather simple. I'm sorry to bother you."

Ning Anchi walked in and passed through the corridor: "Many painters have difficult conditions, which is normal. What's more, this is what you have earned through your own hard work."

She looked around and to be honest, she hadn't seen such a narrow and old house in a long time.

Jiang Zhe put the puppy into the cage, asked the two to sit down and look at the painting, and went to prepare tea.

Two paintings are already displayed on the drawing board.

Ning Anchi stared at the work he had just completed and asked, "Did you make any changes to this one?"

Jiang Zhe placed the disposable cup next to Ning Anchi's hand: "Yes, this is a silent painting, the focus is on expressing the expression."

Ning Anchi nodded: "Okay, you've put in a lot of effort. I'll take both paintings. How much?"

Jiang Zhe shook his head: "I don't know if the painting is good or not, it's just an experiment. If you think it's good, take it away, it's free."

Ning Anchi was not hypocritical. "I'll count on you to help me with this matter. By the way, when will your art exam be over?"

Jiang Zhe said, "I still have to take another exam. After the exam, I will make some adjustments and then go back to school."

"So, if I want to see you, do I have to wait until Saturday or Sunday?"

Jiang Zhe said, "If you need me to draw something, I can draw at night."

Ning Anchi had something else to do, so he said goodbye and left after chatting for a few minutes.

Jiang Zhe sent the two to the car, watched the car go away, and said to the puppy: "Let's go to the market. I'll buy you some boneless meat today."

……

Ning Anchi sat in the car and took out two paintings to admire.

She felt that these paintings were enough to illustrate Jiang Zhe's level and hoped to use them to convince Teacher Miao.

Putting away the painting, he asked the assistant, "Do you know how much it costs for Jiang Zhe to rent this studio?"

The assistant shook his head: "The house here is relatively old. I'll go and ask about the rental situation."

"No need." Ning Anchi heard Jiang Zhe say that he rented this house to prepare for the art exam. She thought that if that thing was done, she might be able to compensate Jiang Zhe in this regard.

Jiang Zhe brought the puppy to the market. Since he got the puppy, he often cooked for himself and came to the market frequently.

He selected a piece of pork elbow and boneless meat, and prepared to go back and make garlic-mashed pork for himself and boiled meat for the puppy.

The stall owner's skillful knife skills caught Jiang Zhe's attention.

He watched the stall owner cutting the meat and felt something.

After I acquired the skills, I also gained some understanding of the structure of the human body, but it was ultimately from an artistic perspective, and not as much as what professionals knew.

If I know more about the structure of characters, and add my specialized skills in portraiture, will I do better when I encounter a situation like restoring a photo?
He decided to buy some relevant books as soon as possible to study and prepare for future studies.

On the day of the art exam, Jiang Yi's parents came to the studio early.

Jiang Zhe entered the examination center carrying his painting supplies.

Chen Yan was going to take a modelling exam, so the two of them couldn't wait in line together.

The first sketching test was to sketch a portrait from memory.

In the afternoon, the second exam was to dictate a gouache still life.

These two exams were completed smoothly.

The design test topic on the second day was different from what Jiang Zhe had guessed. It was about color composition design.

Jiang Zhe had done similar exercises in the training class and had also done graphic design in his previous life, so this test question was not difficult for him.

All in all, the exam ended successfully.

He left the examination room and saw many candidates gathered in the playground, including several of his classmates and the class monitor.

It is estimated that the students who originally took exams in other places have recently returned to Binhai.

The monitor was chatting with a few classmates. When he saw Jiang Zhe coming out, he immediately waved: "Jiang Zhe, here!"

Jiang Zhe felt that he had nothing to do, so he walked over and said hello to his classmates.

The monitor said, "We know you are here to take the exam, so we are waiting for you here."

"Wait for me? Something?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"When do you want to go back?" a classmate asked eagerly.

Jiang Zhe said, "I haven't thought about it yet." He saw the expressions of several classmates around him and guessed what they meant.

These people have probably finished their exams, but don’t want to go back to school just yet.

This is normal. From the winter vacation to the end of April, most students have never experienced such a long vacation. Although they traveled around to take art exams during this period, they were out of school control to a certain extent and could not help but relax.

Although the college entrance examination is in two months, this does not stop students from wanting to relax for two days.

The monitor said, "I heard that Lu Jia will also go back to class today. I think I will go back tomorrow. You should go back as well."

"Monitor, you don't want to take the exam?"

"I have already taken the exams for all the schools I wanted to apply to. There is no point in me applying for the remaining schools." The monitor replied.

"Well, you go back first. I have to take another test."

"Yes, I'll have to think about it."

"If there is something, I'll call you." Several classmates made excuses.

Jiang Zhe didn't want to go back right away, as he thought he would still have time to go back after the Labor Day holiday.

"Not many people go back, how can we attend the class?" Some students hesitated.

"Each subject teacher assigns study tasks. I heard that what we need to do when we go back is to do the papers and review. Our courses have all been completed." A classmate answered, obviously having inquired about the actual situation.

Jiang Zhe discovered that it seemed that only the squad leader was in a hurry to go back.

He could understand the monitor's thoughts. The monitor and the study committee member Lu Jia had always been competing. Lu Jia's academic performance was slightly better than the monitor's.

He said goodbye to his classmates and returned to the studio.

Parents are still waiting for news here.

"How did the exam go?"

Jiang Zhe said, "It shouldn't be a problem. I've practiced today's test questions before."

Jiang Yi said, "This last exam is over, you should go back to school as soon as possible."

Jiang Zhe must be prepared: "I will adjust for a few days and then go back."

Jiang Yi glared: "How many more days will it take to adjust?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Few people return to school, and the teacher does not teach, but I will take the test papers and materials back to study."

Only after he repeatedly assured that he would not slack off in his studies did his parents agree.

After lunch, Jiang Yi and his wife went home.

In the afternoon, Chen Yan came to see Jiang Zhe.

"Jiang Zhe, I feel like I can't draw anymore at the end of the test. My classmates also told me that they had the same problem when they were drawing colors yesterday."

Jiang Zhe said: "If you keep taking exams and don't practice in between exams, this phenomenon will easily occur."

This was the experience he gained in his previous life, so he continued to practice in between exams.

"Jiang Zhe, you've finished your exams too. Shall we go to the movies this afternoon?"

Jiang Zhe thought he could relax a bit, so he said, "Many old movie theaters have closed down, and there aren't many good movies in new theaters."

Chen Yan looked at him strangely: "Why go to the cinema? You have a computer. Why don't we go buy a disc and watch it later?"

Jiang Zhe suddenly realized that his understanding of watching movies was still stuck in his previous life. At that time, many people did not have the habit of going to the cinema and preferred to buy or even rent discs.
