Lu Bai was slightly startled, this girl is really learning how to use it!
The surrounding eyes also focused on Lu Bai for an instant.
A look of disdain appeared on the woman's face.
The men's expressions were complicated, with 30% contempt mixed with 70% envy...
Lu Bai gently stroked her hair and said softly: "Be good, we will meet again soon."
Bai Lu turned into a clip, her voice trembling: "Then...brother-in-law, remember to miss me~"
"Yes, I will. I'm leaving."
"Yeah, brother-in-law, I will miss you"
Two and a half hours later, Lu Bai's figure flashed and appeared on the campus of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Longguo, where he reunited with Chen Hongming after a long absence.
"Lu Bai! Good guy, it's been so long since I last saw you, and you've become an international star!" Chen Hongming smiled heartily and patted Lu Bai's shoulder enthusiastically.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see!" Lu Bai smiled slightly and responded humbly, "Don't worry, I have not neglected my painting skills!" He could naturally hear the deep meaning in Chen Hongming's words.
"Oh? So your entry has been completed?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Hongming's eyes.
He had indeed had such an expectation, but felt it was unlikely.
After all, Lu Bai is now flourishing in the entertainment industry.
To be honest, Chen Hongming really didn't want Lu Bai to give up the path of painting.
But how could he open his mouth to persuade?
You can't let Lu Bai give up his glamorous identity as an artist and settle down as a painter, right?
It is even more impossible for him to promise Lu Bai that as long as he concentrates on painting, he will be able to make a career in this industry.
However, now Lu Bai told him that the entries for the competition had been drawn?
Chen Hongming couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
During this period of time, Lu Bai has been busy participating in music variety shows, love variety shows, and traveling around the world. How can he find time to concentrate on painting?
Could it be that he just handed in a piece of work at random to meet his errands?
Thinking of this, Chen Hongming said euphemistically: "Lu Bai, this art exhibition is a project that the government attaches great importance to. You don't have to rush. There is still some time before the exhibition opens."
"Mr. Chen, why don't you take a sneak peek?"
Lu Bai did not explain much, but directly presented a painting wrapped in black cloth.
When Chen Hongming slowly uncovered the black cloth, the full picture of the painting was gradually revealed before his eyes.
His whole body was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, as if he was firmly fixed in place by an indescribable force.
After a long time, his lips trembled and his voice changed with excitement: "Lu Bai, Lu Bai, I really saw you right! This is not just a painting, this is simply the pinnacle of the art palace. ”
This painting uses the Great Wall as the theme. Under Lu Bai's skillful hand, the Great Wall winds and circles among the mountains, showing its majestic appearance.
He used delicate brushstrokes to carefully outline every inch of the texture of the masonry of the Great Wall, as if to tell the story of that long history and vicissitudes of time;
At the same time, he used powerful colors to vividly render the shocking and majestic momentum of the Great Wall, making people deeply feel the indestructible will and great spirit of the Chinese nation.
Lu Bai also uniquely added a group of soaring white doves above the Great Wall in the picture, which symbolizes the beautiful vision of peace and friendship.
At the foot of the Great Wall, there is a scene of blooming flowers and vitality, which symbolizes the prosperity of the motherland and the happiness and well-being of the people.
This work not only demonstrates Lu Bai's superb painting skills, but also contains his deep emotions and best wishes for his motherland.
The whole painting has both a sense of history and a beautiful longing for the future, perfectly demonstrating the theme of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.
Chen Hongming came closer to the painting and carefully studied every detail. He kept shaking his head and exclaiming: "How did you describe the texture of the Great Wall and the texture of the masonry so realistically and lifelike? It's as if the Great Wall was not painted on paper. , but is about to break out of the wall and truly stand before our eyes!”
The lines in the painting are smooth and free, and the interplay of light and shadow is just right. Adding or subtracting even one point will destroy this perfection.
Chen Hongming was filled with emotion.
As a master of traditional Chinese painting, he is well aware of the precious value of Lu Bai's painting. It is no exaggeration to say that over time, the value of this painting will be immeasurable.
Finally, Chen Hongming gave high praise: "A work of genius!"
Lu Bai smiled slightly and asked: "Mr. Chen, can I submit this assignment?"
"Of course! It must be possible!" Chen Hongming laughed loudly, "Just wait until the exhibition opens next week, so that those foreigners can also see our artistic treasures!"
After a pause, Chen Hongming continued: "I plan to exhibit your horse picture at the art exhibition, which will go a long way in improving your reputation."
Chen Hongming's idea is very simple, which is to create as many opportunities for Lu Bai as possible.
Such high-level art exhibitions are rare. If Lu Bai's paintings can be highly praised by more people in the industry, it will be of great help to his future development.
Lu Bai nodded and did not refuse.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for him, and there is no reason to refuse.
At noon, Lu Bai and Chen Hongming had lunch together in the teacher's dormitory.
Although the food on the table is not rich, there is enough wine to drink.
Chen Hongming picked up the wine glass and greeted Lu Bai with a smile on his face: "Come on, Lu Bai, first of all I have to drink a toast to your amazing work!"
Lu Bai hurriedly raised his glass in return and smiled humbly: "Mr. Chen, you have given me the award, and I really don't dare to deserve it."
"Lu Bai, this painting of yours allows me to appreciate the infinite charm of art, and it also gives me higher expectations for the future of art in our Dragon Kingdom." Chen Hongming said sincerely.
Lu Bai listened attentively, nodded in agreement from time to time, and shared his inspiration and experience in the creative process.
Their conversation extended from the essence of traditional art to the exploration of modern innovation, from domestic art fashion to international art trends, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Unconsciously, a few hours passed quietly and lunch was coming to an end.
Lu Bai glanced at the time, stood up and said goodbye: "Mr. Chen, it's getting late. I have to take the first step and ask you for advice later."
Chen Hongming also stood up and patted Lu Bai's shoulder affectionately: "Okay! Don't forget to make time. The exhibition is next Saturday." He knew that Lu Bai had a busy schedule, so he reminded him to pay attention to his time arrangement.
This Sino-foreign cultural exchange exhibition is an important official event.
For Lu Bai, attending such an exhibition will undoubtedly greatly enhance his reputation.
"Understood." Lu Bai nodded in agreement, and then said goodbye to Chen Hongming.
After leaving the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Lu Bai directly returned to his and Bai Lu's cozy home in Yanjing - Beiyuan Home.
Chen Hongming did not choose to rest after lunch, but went to the Art Association alone.
He held Lu Bai's painting carefully in his hands, with excitement and anticipation on his face.
Upon arriving at the association, Chen Hongming urgently convened a high-level management meeting.
The president, three vice-presidents and four senior members of the Art Association gathered in the conference room.
"Old Chen, what's wrong with you?" Someone saw Chen Hongming looking like he had found a treasure and couldn't help but joked.
At this moment, Chen Hongming devoted himself wholeheartedly to the painting in his hand. He gently unfolded the painting wrapped in black cloth.
In an instant, the entire conference room seemed to fall into silence. Everyone was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them and speechless.
The president's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he said in shock: "This... this painting... was painted by you? No, it's impossible! This is definitely not your style!"
As soon as the president finished speaking, the conference room immediately began to boil. (End of chapter)
