Chapter 117 "It's on stage"!
Fang Ming and Zheng Ru ate dinner in a small western restaurant in the school. Since it was almost time for class, the two of them just solved the problem quickly.

At eight o'clock in the evening, during class time, Fang Ming followed Zheng Ru to a large classroom. When entering, Zheng Ru naturally walked to the podium, while Fang Ming finally found a seat in the corner of the classroom. down.

After looking around, he found that the classroom was very large, with more than [-] seats, and almost all of them were filled, and he also noticed a very interesting phenomenon, that is, almost all of the ten rows sitting in the front were male animals. .

Gently shaking his head, Fang Ming knew that this was the power of a beautiful woman, no matter if the beautiful woman was a teacher or a younger sister, in short, as long as she was a beautiful woman, she would attract the attention of men - age is definitely not a problem!

"It seems that Teacher Zheng is very popular."

Fang Ming had seen Zheng Ru's "power" tonight.

"Dong dong!"

Zheng Ru on the podium stretched out her fingers and flicked the microphone twice. The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. Fang Ming knew that it was time to prepare for class.

Sure enough, Zheng Ru picked up an oil-based pen and wrote down the words "Appreciation of Western oil paintings" on the whiteboard.

Fang Ming was taken aback for a moment. He originally thought that Zheng Ru was from a family of antiques, and his lectures should also be related to antiques, but he didn't expect it to be Western art.

"Oh, I really didn't expect it to be Western art, and it was an oil painting."

Fang Ming scratched his forehead, this was really beyond his expectation.

"The so-called oil painting refers to a way of preparing paint by using vegetable oils that are easy to dry, such as linseed oil and walnut oil, and then painting on linen, wood or cardboard. Because the used The pigment has relatively strong hardness, so it can maintain the luster of the color for a long time after it dries. It mainly uses the hiding power and transparency of the pigment to fully express the painted object. It has the characteristics of rich colors, three-dimensional and strong texture. Such a way of painting is fundamentally different from traditional Chinese ink painting."

At the beginning, Fang Ming didn't pay much attention to it. After all, this way of painting was very different from the ink painting that Zheng Ru said he was familiar with, and it was a little too far away from him. He was "obsessed" in it - he found that Zheng Ru was showing another world in front of him, although it was completely different from the one he knew,
"Western oil paintings are mainly divided into two genres. The first category is works that mainly reproduce objective things; the second category is works that use subjective impressions as the object of expression."

"For example, the genres of the first category include Baroque, Roque, Realism, Realism, etc., which are all based on nature. Specifically, different genres are popular in different periods, such as Baroque Mainly popular in the 17th century to the 18th century, this genre of art is characterized by exaggeration and flashy, and the representative is Rubens; realism is mainly popular in the middle of the 19th century, this genre advocates the use of faithful objects to express normal The visual image of the painting reflects the essence of real life, the representative writer is Miller, and his painting "The Gleaners" is a masterpiece in this regard."

"The second category mainly refers to post-impressionism, fauvism, abstractionism, surrealism, etc., which have been mentioned before. They are not the reflection of reality, but the subjective expression of the painter himself. For example, Post-impressionist painters emphasize expressing self-feeling, paying special attention to the contrast of colors and the internal structure of things when painting, etc. The most well-known representative painters are Van Gogh, Gauguin, etc. As for Fauvism, they are good at using exaggerated shapes, Strong colors and rough lines express the inner passion of the painter, and Matisse is the founder of this school of painting."

……

Zheng Ru is obviously very familiar with Western art history, these things are often blurted out in her mouth, like flowing water, and because she has a good grasp of the rhythm, and at the same time she introduces it through the slide show The school of painting, the representative works of the painter, because it is more fascinating.

Fang Ming looked around and found that everyone was attracted by Zheng Ru's explanation. At this time, no one thought of her as a beautiful woman, but just felt a learned scholar imparting her knowledge in front of him.

"Beauties are not all vases!"

Fang Ming nodded lightly, Zheng Ru's performance at this time undoubtedly proved this point.

Fascinating classes always make people feel that time flies very fast. Half of the two-hour class passed quickly, and the 10-minute break in the middle passed in the blink of an eye. When I returned to class, I had already entered freedom. questioning stage.

It was the first time for Fang Ming to attend such a class, and he did not expect such a link to exist.Such on-the-spot questioning is a very challenging thing. Which one is an idiot who can be admitted to university?People who have a little idea, the questions they ask will definitely be strange. As a teacher, the link of "opening up" means that you have strong confidence and are not afraid of such a challenge. Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing .

Of course, such a situation will not happen to Zheng Ru. Although the classroom is full of people asking questions, and the questions they ask are really strange, but when the soldiers come to block, the water comes and the soil is flooded, her teacher answers every question without thinking, and it is reasonable. According to the evidence, people have to be convinced, even if they want to question it, there is no way.

"Mr. Zheng, we all know that Van Gogh is a very famous painter. Could you please tell me more about him?"

Zheng Ru nodded and said: "No problem, because time is limited, and you can go to the library or even check some information about him after class, so today I will briefly introduce his situation and Major masterpiece."

After a short pause, Zheng Ru took a deep breath, and then continued: "In the history of art, there is only one Van Gogh who is the most famous, and his full name is Vincent Willem Van Gogh, a Dutchman, from the genre. It is said that his painting style is a Post-Impressionist painter and also a pioneer of Expressionism. His paintings and style have profoundly influenced the entire Western art of the 1890th century, especially Fauvism and Expressionism. July 7 Plagued by mental illness, he took his own life on the banks of the Oise in France on April 29, at the age of 37."

"His representative works include "Sunflower", "Wheat Field with Crows" and "Starry Night", etc. Now his paintings are the most famous in the world, and they are also the most expensive few."

"Mr. Zheng, Van Gogh's paintings are very expensive? How expensive are they?"

As soon as he said this, someone yelled out loudly.

The university class is very free. Zheng Ru was not angry at all when someone interrupted her. Instead, she nodded slightly and said: "Of course it is very expensive. It is so expensive that you may not be able to afford it in your life. November 1987, 11 , one of his "Irises" was sold at a sky-high price of 11 million US dollars, which shocked the whole world, and even caused the debate that "culture and business should maintain a moral distance". On November 5390, one of his sunflowers sold for $3 million. On November 30, 3950, a self-portrait without a beard fetched a whopping $1998 million!"

The whole classroom was suddenly quiet, more than 7000 million?Not to mention the US dollar, even the RMB is a sky-high price - if it is converted into RMB, it will be billions of dollars!To buy a painting, this is really the behavior of a lunatic.

Fang Ming was also dumbfounded, more than 5000 million US dollars, nearly 4000 million US dollars, more than 7000 million US dollars?This is the real sky-high price. It is considered too much to pick up antiques by yourself, and the price is not low, but compared with this, it is a world of difference.

"It seems that I should have traveled abroad. As long as I can miss a half-frame like this, I will really make a fortune."

Fang Ming couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind, and then he glanced at his right hand, wondering whether his Pixiu would also work on foreign oil paintings, if so, it would be really cool .More importantly, there is one fundamental difference between going abroad to pick up leaks and picking up leaks at home. It is a good thing to "rob" others abroad.

After flirting for a while, Fang Ming slowly came to his senses. There is no way to realize his idea for the time being. First of all, if his pixiu ability doesn’t work on foreign oil paintings, he doesn’t have much confidence in picking up the leak. It can even be said that it is impossible - at least for a few years now, it is impossible. The second is that it is impossible for me to go abroad at present. Even if I go abroad, I must have strong funds as a foundation. Not much, but if you want to go abroad to show your prestige, it is still not enough for the time being.

"It seems that there is a long way to go."

After touching his nose, Fang Ming shook his head and smiled wryly. Although this idea is tempting, it can only be temporarily put aside.

"Next, I invite Mr. Fang Mingfang!"

Fang Ming was taken aback by a specially emphasized sentence and a burst of warm applause. After waking up, he looked around and found that everyone was turning their heads to look for him. Own.

"What the hell is this?"

Fang Ming was in a trance just now, so he didn't hear Zheng Ru's words, so he didn't know what happened - he was clearly "put on stage" by Zheng Ru!
