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

In the evening, after Jiang Zhe and Sister Liao had dinner together, they returned to the studio, stood in front of the custom draft, and pondered for a long time.

Today, Sister Liao said a word that gave him a hint - temptation.

This word is not a compliment in the context of art, but after hearing Sister Liao say this word, Jiang Zhe thought of Miller's request.

Although Miller did not say the word explicitly, in retrospect, it seems that he meant it.

Should we strengthen this meaning in this painting?

After considering for a long time, Jiang Zhe decided to modify his work.

On the basis of the original aesthetic feeling, I want to deepen the beauty of temptation and also want to draw something different from the works with the same theme.

He remembered that when Titian, Goya and Manet painted the same subject - portraits of women, they all tried to make their paintings different. When Picasso created "Luncheon on the Grass", he also tried to make his work different from Manet's.

The temptation that Sister Liao saw was only expressed inadvertently because of the plot and technical factors of the picture.

This factor now needs to be strengthened.

He once again flipped through the albums of Baroque masters such as Rubens, trying to understand their beauty, expression techniques, and thinking about ways to modify their works.

The next day, he re-adjusted the colors and made changes to the painting. The figures' shapes remained the same, but the light and shadow of the two main characters were slightly changed to highlight the drama of the characters' actions and to suggest psychological changes through the contrast of colors.

A week later, Wang Zhen brought her business manager to Jiang Zhe's studio.

Jiang Zhe deliberately chose a suitable angle to show this work.

When Wang Zhen and his partner saw this work, their eyes lit up. They were so attracted by the painting that they did not speak for a long time.
Jiang Zhe noticed that when the business manager saw some details, his eyes would subconsciously avoid them and he was obviously embarrassed to look.

Seeing the two people's reactions, he felt relieved.

After this work was completed, the system gave it a review as a masterpiece. Although it did not reach the level of a masterpiece, he felt that he had tried his best.

"It's amazing that you can paint a custom work to this level. It really surprises me." Wang Zhen said: "Before coming here, I deliberately looked at several works with the same theme. Your painting is not inferior to those of great painters. What do you name this painting?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Miller once said that this painting should be called Apollo and Hyacinthus. There is no need to rename it."

Wang Zhen sighed: "I wonder if this painting can become your representative work."

Jiang Zhe smiled and replied, "Forget it. After all, I'm not good at this kind of subject matter."

Wang Zhen asked, "Are you not going to change it? I personally think it's already perfect."

Jiang Zhe replied: "No change, that's it."

"Okay, I'll take a picture." Wang Chun helped Jiang Zhe take pictures of his work.

After taking the photos, she said to Jiang Zhe, "As long as they approve it, we will deliver the works. You don't have to worry about it.

By the way, I have something to discuss with you. Before I came back from the capital, an art gallery approached me and wanted to collect your works. "

"Which art museum?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"The capital's modern art museum." Wang Zhen said.

Jiang Zhe asked: "What level is this art gallery?"

"In terms of level, it is not as good as the National Art Gallery, but it is also a public cultural venue established by the capital city, so its level is not low."

“Which piece would they like to collect?”

Wang Zhen said, "It's your award-winning work, Urban Beauty, what do you think of it?"

Jiang Zhe hesitated.

Originally he hoped that this work could be collected by the National Gallery, but this did not happen, so it has been exhibited in Wang Zhen's gallery.

Wang Zhen saw Jiang Zhe hesitated, so he began to persuade him: "This museum is not as influential as the National Art Museum, but it still collects many works of great painters. They are optimistic about you, so they took the initiative to contact me. I think you always want to get rich overnight. Now, our provincial art museum has collected your works. If the capital's art museum also collects your works, it will also increase your fame.

In the future, as your fame grows, many art galleries will actively seek you out.” Jiang Zhe asked, “Will they pay you?”

"Maybe I will give you a symbolic amount, mainly to get you to donate." Wang Zhen said: "I think it is meaningless to collect symbolic money. The best way is to donate it to the Capital Museum of Modern Art.

Enhance your own fame and give yourself a good reputation.

I think this is a win-win for both sides.”

Jiang Zhe thought about it for a long time and nodded in agreement.

Since the National Art Gallery does not collect it, it is acceptable for an art museum of a decent level to collect it.

"Okay, I'll contact him immediately and have him hold a donation ceremony. It will be beneficial to both parties and they will agree." Wang Zhen said.

The next day, Wang Zhen told Jiang Zhe that Miller was very satisfied with the work after seeing the photos.

Miller also chose a suitable time to call Jiang Zhe. Due to the time difference, the two did not talk for long. Miller repeatedly expressed his gratitude and invited Jiang Zhe to visit at a suitable time.

Wang Zhenhe and his staff came to Jiang Zhe's studio and carefully lifted the painting onto the vehicle. The gallery was responsible for the rest.

She told Jiang Zhe. "I have contacted Miller. Don't forget his advice to you. You should come up with a batch of suitable works as soon as possible. When the time comes, they will help you hold an exhibition in the United States as a reward for you. If the effect is good, the follow-up work will be carried out. Christie's will also be involved."

After sending Wang Zhen away, Jiang Zhe opened the system.

On the task page, a new prompt appears:

You have completed Miller's custom work. The work has reached the level of a fine product.

Many great painters have created works on similar subjects, and your work is in no way inferior in terms of art or technique.

After calculation, the system gives an excellent evaluation to your task completion and issues a reward.

Reward funds: RMB 300.

Reward: an opportunity to observe the master's skills.

A special attribute lottery is awarded once.

Jiang Zhe felt that the reward for this task was quite generous.

First click on the Reward Funds option.

The system only provides one redemption channel, and it cannot be accumulated.

He clicked to claim it.

The system gives a prompt.

The rewards you receive will be redeemed when the work is sold in the United States. Please create suitable works as soon as possible and sell them in the United States.

It seems that it will take some time to get the reward.

Jiang Zhe checked the second reward.

He plans to accumulate these observation opportunities.

The third reward is another special attribute reward.

He clicked on Extract.

A reminder appeared on the system's lottery page:
You draw upon your artistic imagination to enhance it.

Jiang Zhe was curious about this special attribute and immediately clicked to receive it.

A message came into my mind. (End of this chapter)
