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

Jiang Zhe sat in his seat. After the plane flew smoothly, he closed his eyes and turned on the system.

A prompt has been given on the system page.

The counterattack methods you used to consume your rewards have exceeded the expected effect. Several interest groups that suppressed you are collapsing.

After reading the prompt, Jiang Zhe put his worries to rest and felt that this matter could finally come to an end.

Soon, he began to consider Wang Zhen's suggestion.

He knew that Wang Zhen's suggestion was right, but now that he was no longer in urgent need of money, he hoped to live according to his own ideas. In addition, he was also worried that he would be coerced by some interest groups.

He returned to Binhai safely and reported to his parents that he was safe. After returning to his studio, he felt upset and wanted to find a book on the bookshelf, hoping to find some examples.

Picture albums and various theoretical books, as well as some examples recorded therein, all illustrate that many Western classical painting masters were versatile and were able to undertake a large number of orders with diverse requirements.

Seeing the example of Michelangelo once helping antique dealers make goods, Jiang Zhe couldn't help but sigh that the master was no exception. This is the life of an artist.

When you want to make money by doing what you love, perhaps you will inevitably encounter conflicts.

Jiang Zhe saw another path when he was flipping through a collection of Chinese landscape paintings.

The literati paintings of our country, especially many masters of painting in ancient times, mostly created to please themselves.

This kind of thought gradually became mainstream after the Yuan Dynasty, such as Huang Gongwang.

Jiang Zhe looked at the painter's classic work and guessed that the painter might not have been thinking about completing the work, but was just thinking about perfection.

If a work of art is entirely based on one's own subjective judgment, the only difference is satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

These literati painters, whether they were high-ranking officials or down-and-out literati, pursued pure self-perfection in painting.

Many of them have their own jobs to support themselves, and use other work to earn money to support their hobbies. Without the constraints of fame and fortune, it may be easier for them to achieve enjoyment and self-satisfaction.

Jiang Zhe put down the album.

The question comes back to the starting point: Can I make money by painting while pursuing my hobbies?

If I can't do both, can I treat part of the creation as work and use it to support my hobby?

He found a reason for himself, but didn't rush to call Wang Zhen.

Monday morning, it’s time for cultural classes at school.

During the break, Jiang Zhe came to Professor Qin's office.

"Why are you here at this time?" Professor Qin asked.

Jiang Zhe said, "There is something I want to ask you for advice."

Professor Qin said, "Yesterday, I wanted to ask you, what was the result of the activity? I have been waiting for your news."

Jiang Zhe said: "There is no way the art museum will give you any response."

Professor Qin understood: "You are still young, don't worry."

"I see."

Professor Qin asked, "Is there anything you can't figure out?"

Jiang Zhe tells Wang Zhen's suggestion.

After Professor Qin heard this, he laughed and said, "You think too much.

Let me tell you about my own example.

When I was in school, everyone's life was not easy. When eating in the school cafeteria, the dishes cost five cents, and many students lined up to drink free spinach soup.

At that time, materials for learning oil painting were also scarce. Everyone bought pigment powder and the lowest quality cloth together, and tried their best to get orders from certain units just to be able to use painting materials for free.

But even in that state, I still feel very happy every time I have the opportunity to create.

Now that life is better, I don’t have the excitement and fun that I had back then.

Sometimes, I take out some of my early works and still feel that they are immature but very vivid. I think the problem you encounter is that you have many choices, but you become hesitant.

So what if it's custom made? For many people, this is a rare opportunity. If you have the chance to paint, why not go for it? Why think so much? "

After listening to Professor Qin's words, Jiang Zhe must have become more determined in his choice.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Okay, don't think about it, just agree to it."

Jiang Zhe said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But if I accept the order, I have to go to New York. The trip back and forth, plus the creation, will take up a lot of time, so I need to ask for leave from school."

"What time do you go?"

"It has not been decided yet, so I don't know the exact time. But Wang Zhen told me that he has agreed to take the order and may leave soon."

"Okay, I get it. This is an important matter. Once the specific time is arranged, I will ask for leave for you." Professor Qin said with a smile: "I think you have already had the idea and are just waiting for me to ask for leave for you, right?"

"I really need your guidance." Jiang Zhe said.

"Hurry back to class."

On his way back to the classroom, Jiang Zhe sent a text message to Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen called immediately.

"Jiang Zhe, you finally figured it out. That's right."

Jiang Zhe said: "Thank you for your help. If it takes a long time, I will ask for leave from school as soon as possible."

Wang Zhen said: "I will contact Christie's right away to find out the specific arrangements. Wait for my news."

The two ended the call and Jiang Zhe continued his class.

At noon, Wang Zhen turned on the phone.

Jasic attached great importance to this customization, so they hoped that Jiang Zhe would go to the United States as soon as possible. The two sides agreed to meet on Saturday.

Wang Zhen told Jiang Zhe that he had already started to help him with the formalities. In order to ensure a smooth meeting, he would go to the capital today.

She also told Jiang Zhe that Castel would be responsible for liaison and various visa matters, as well as other chores, so he didn't have to worry about them.

Jiang Zhe found Professor Qin again.

Professor Qin stepped forward and asked for leave for Jiang Zhe.

in the afternoon.

Jiang Zhe left school early, went home to prepare, said goodbye to his parents and friends, and took a flight to the capital that night.

Wang Zhen came to pick him up.

After getting in the car, Wang Zhen told Jiang Zhe about the specific arrangements for the trip.

"I'll go with you this time. I've done my best to prepare for you. See if you need anything else."

"I don't know what to draw yet. I feel unsure." Jiang Zhe said.

Wang Zhen said, "Don't be so modest. Christie's has relayed some requests from a client. You need to paint a portrait of one of the collector's lovers."

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "If I were to paint this kind of work, I would still have some confidence."

Wang Zhen also smiled and said: “The few paintings you sold in the United States are all portraits of women, so customers should appreciate the beauty you create.

This time, let’s try to make a big hit.

As long as you succeed, the price of your work will go up. Your wish will come true sooner or later."

Jiang Zhe rested in the hotel for one night, and the next day he and Wang Zhen took a plane to New York, USA.
