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

"I was supposed to go back tonight, but I have several important events tomorrow that I need to attend...

Yes, so I’ll come back tomorrow…

You and my mom don't need to worry... What about school? My teacher has asked for leave for me... Yes... This is also what the school wants. Okay, I'm fine here, I'll talk to you tomorrow when I get home."

Jiang Zhe talked to his parents on the phone and heard that the box was still very lively.

Several school leaders and their friends were toasting each other. Because everyone had gained something today, they were in high spirits and the party was extended.

Jiang Zhe didn't rush back to the box. He found a place to sit outside and bought a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, savoring it slowly.

He sent text messages to several friends to inform them of what happened today.

"Why are you sitting here to rest?" Wang Zhen came over and asked.

"Get some fresh air." Jiang Zhe replied.

Wang Zhen sat down next to Jiang Zhe and said, "You didn't drink much. The party will be over soon. I have something to talk to you alone."

"What's wrong? Do you have new arrangements for tomorrow?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"No, the event has already been decided. Don't you want your work to be collected by the National Gallery? There is some progress on this matter."

Oh~ Jiang was about to speak when a school leader came out and saw Jiang Zhe chatting, and said, "Jiang Zhe, hurry up, we're waiting for you."

The conversation was interrupted, and Jiang Zhe had to return to the box.

Until the end of the party, neither of them had any free time to continue the previous topic.

After returning to the hotel room, Wang Zhen was not in a hurry to leave.

Jiang Zhe poured a glass of water for Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen held a cup of water and said, "When I was doing the event today, I took the time to ask the staff of the National Gallery. They also hope to collect your works, but they are more optimistic about this award-winning work.

Your work is priced very high, and they don’t know your idea, so they didn’t contact you actively.

Jiang Zhe said with a smile: “It would be great if this award-winning work could be collected by the National Gallery.

There are many opportunities to sell paintings, and I can continue to create a lot of works. But putting the works in the art gallery can let more people see them. For me personally, it is also an honor and recognition. "

Wang Zhen said: "I agree. If you have this idea, then let's work towards this goal."

Just as Jiang Zhe said, this method can not only enhance fame, but also ensure that the works will not circulate in the market, thus maintaining the scarcity of the works.

"This exhibition will last for a month, and our operation time is one month at most. If the National Gallery agrees, you can come to the capital to handle the formalities around October 10th.

You should also be prepared, as you may have to travel to the capital frequently in the near future."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Zhe replied.

"Times Auctions also wants to take this opportunity to promote itself. Of course, we will promote many of our collections this time.

Before the auction begins, they want to organize this kind of public welfare activity. People who participate in the promotion need to talk to customers or potential customers about paintings, collections, and other related knowledge.

I would like to invite you to attend the event as well.”

Jiang Zhe said: "What do I need to do."

"Talk about contemporary oil painting. It's very easy for you."

Jiang Zhe said: "I can talk about the collection and protection of oil paintings."

"Oh, you have done research on this?"

Jiang Zhe has acquired advanced skills in oil painting restoration and naturally knows how to maintain an oil painting.

"When I was studying classical painting, I learned some common sense about it, so I can talk about it."

"Okay, I'll contact Times Auctions."

After finishing his business, Wang Zhen stared at Jiang Zhe.

"I've been so busy today that I don't even have time to formally congratulate you."

"We don't need to be so polite to each other." Jiang Zhe said. Wang Zhen said: "I was also inspired. Today, you have made a name for yourself in the circle."

Jiang Zhe was speechless.

Professor Qin shared some of his feelings with me, but unexpectedly, Wang Zhen also had a lot of feelings.

Wang Zhen continued, "In the afternoon, when you were attending the event, I received a lot of invitations. Many people wanted to find an opportunity to meet you and get to know you through me.

Neither you nor I have ever enjoyed this kind of treatment before.

Apart from anything else, this one item alone can show the importance of winning awards and gaining fame.

You succeeded whether those people wanted it or not."

"What does this last sentence mean?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"Today, many people came to see me. Among them, several people vaguely revealed some information." Wang Zhen said.

"Before, someone did take advantage of our publicity to cause trouble for you, making it impossible for you to get ahead. Some of the news is close to our speculation.

Although these people are unwilling to say who is suppressing you, I know that it is definitely not just one person who is doing it.

Jiang Zhe asked: "What do you want to do?"

Wang Zhen said: "You have given them an accurate response with your actions.

They didn't want you to stand out, but you just made a way out.

In addition, the person who leaked the information is not that simple.

Wang Zhen took out a newspaper: "Look at this."

Jiang Zhe saw that this was a less well-known evening newspaper.

This article published in the newspaper was accompanied by a photo.

This reporter took a photo of Jiang Zhe and the American painter saying goodbye at the Times Auction preview.

The photos were taken well.

The two shook hands and said goodbye, more like friends who had known each other for many years. This article implies that the relationship between him and the American painter should be a friendship, not a confrontation.

It also implies that the two people are hyping each other up.

The propaganda method of pitting the two against each other is an old trick. It is not difficult to understand.

"This is not today." Jiang Zhe said.

"There were newspapers that reported this event on the same day, but many people didn't pay attention to you at that time. Today, after you won the award, some newspapers have started to reprint it."

Jiang Zhe asked: "Do you think this will have an impact on me?"

Wang Zhen said: "There is no impact for now. It may even have a positive effect.

I asked someone to check, and the initial report was just a reporter accidentally taking the photo. As for whether there was someone behind it, it is not known yet.

From what I've heard, the reaction to this news is simply people's curiosity about you.

In fact, many people have used this method of publicity, but the effect is always not good. You are really lucky. "

Jiang Zhe was relieved.

"Some people don't want you to stand out, but now they have no way to suppress you. They can only watch you stand out. When I think of this scene, I feel particularly happy."

Jiang Zhe also laughed, but he felt that it was not enough to just give such a response to the person who suppressed him. However, Wang Zhen was unwilling to say who the person was who suppressed him.

I guess I can't ask it myself. At this time, he heard the system prompt sound.

He continued chatting with Wang Zhen for a while without saying anything.

After Wang Zhen said goodbye and left, Jiang Zhe opened the system. (End of this chapter)
