Romance heroine just wants to do a career

Chapter 385 Morbid Love (30)

Xuan Zi said: "The homework given to me by the teacher asked me to draw a picture with the theme of 'going home', so I wanted to show the importance of going home by showing such a scene."

"Because there's always someone at home waiting for you alone, so you need to go home, don't you?"

Liu Yutao's eyes gradually became darker.

"Yes."

Liu Yutao's mood became not very high, and he forced a smile, "Your painting reminds me of my mother. At the beginning, in order to be able to sell my paintings and become famous, I worked hard to gain my place in the painting world. , I often didn’t go home for three to five years, and later, when my mother passed away, I realized that there was no home to go back to.”

Liu Yutao added, "The best thing about this painting is that it can easily mobilize people's deepest feelings. I believe that everyone who sees your painting will find it difficult to maintain peace of mind."

Seeing Liu Yutao talking, his eyes were slightly moist.

Xuan Zi sighed, and said softly: "Brother, in fact, I have been an orphan since I was a child. I have no parents. The only thing my parents left me is the surname Chu. My adoptive parents also passed away in a car accident a few years ago. Once , I also feel very guilty like you, because I always feel that there is no more time to accompany them, but no matter what, we should look away. The most important thing is the present, the people around us, such as now We have a teacher and a teacher's wife, they are also our family, and I, as your junior sister, is also your family, so you are not alone."

Liu Yutao's heart moved slightly, "I'm so old, and I need you, a little girl, to comfort me, I'm really ashamed."

"This is all human nature, senior brother, besides, you are only in your thirties, how can you be so old?"

Xuan Zi said helplessly.

Listening to this, Liu Yutao couldn't help but smile. With such a smile, the sense of distance between the two of them instantly decreased a lot.

"I know why the teacher has not accepted any more apprentices for so many years, but he has accepted you. Junior sister, since you have said that you are my family, if you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to senior brother."

According to Liu Yutao's current status in the painting world, this sentence is also full of weight. Xuan Zi straightened up when she heard it, and nodded seriously, "I see, thank you brother."

Liu Yutao looked at the painting on the easel, and thought, "Xuan Zi, as a newcomer, what he needs most is popularity. How about I help you take this painting to participate in the selection of the National Art Exhibition? If you can win the prize, It will be of great benefit to you in the future.”

Liu Yutao himself is the only painter who has won gold medals in three national art exhibitions in a row.

The National Art Exhibition is the most authoritative and largest top-level exhibition in the art world of Huaguo.

However, since it is a nationwide exhibition, it means that the competition is extremely large. For example, in the oil painting area, there are thousands of works selected in both the initial evaluation and the re-evaluation.

The top fifteen winning entries will be selected from thousands of entries.

One to three are gold awards, four to six are silver awards, and seven to fifteen are bronze awards.

The most eye-catching thing is of course the Gold Award. Once you win the Gold Award, it means that you will be well-known in the industry, and you will get more opportunities at the same time. go the way.

Although Xuan Zi feels that her painting skills are very good, she is also very satisfied with this painting.

However, this kind of award is often very subjective. The judges often select works that cater to their own tastes, rather than objectively judging from the perspective of artistry.

Therefore, Xuan Zi was not sure for a while whether her work could win the award.

However, this is the icing on the cake for her, and it doesn't hurt if she doesn't win.

So she readily agreed to Liu Yutao, "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you, then I'll try this painting."

"Yo, I didn't expect that the brothers and sisters would chat. It seems that the two of you have already known each other."

Ke Zhen came upstairs and accidentally saw Liu Yutao and Xuan Zi talking happily, and said with a smile.

"Master's wife, just now my brother praised my painting for being very good, and asked me to take it to participate in the art exhibition selection."

"Really? Since Yutao said yes, it must be good, Xiao Zi, you can take the painting to the competition with confidence, I believe you will be able to do it."

Ke Zhen said, "By the way, the old man is selecting paintings in the collection room on the third floor. Would you like to go over and have a look and give some advice? I think he hesitated in the room for a long time, but he couldn't choose one. "

Liu Yutao nodded, "Junior Sister, let's go over and help the teacher choose paintings."

"Okay." Xuan Zi said.

After going up to the third floor, there is Huang Zhong's personal collection room. This collection room is huge. It is connected by three rooms, and it is specially used for displaying paintings.

As soon as you walk in, you will be greeted by overwhelming paintings.

The current market price of Huang Zhong's paintings in the market is tens of millions for any random painting. Xuan Zi looked at the paintings all over the room, some were randomly placed on the table, on the ground, and some even Because the painting was ruined, I used it to pad the table legs.

Xuan Zi: ...

Inexplicably a little heartache what's going on.

Liu Yutao skillfully began to help Huang Zhong look at the paintings. Huang Zhong, who was originally frowning, gradually relaxed, nodded, and selected several paintings.

Then he went to another wall to look at the paintings hanging there.

"So the teacher is satisfied with his painting, or not?"

Xuan Zi couldn't help asking Liu Yutao.

"Of course I'm not satisfied."

Liu Yutao said, "The teacher has always been striving for excellence in paintings, not to mention exhibiting in art exhibitions, which must exhibit the best works, so he spends a lot of time when he comes here to select paintings at this time of year. , because when picking out paintings, he would always suddenly find that his paintings were not good here, not good there, and sometimes he would even personally destroy the paintings.”

Liu Yutao shook his head, looked at Huang Zhong who was looking at the painting with his waist in his eyes, and continued: "And once the teacher is reluctant to destroy the painting, he will let people destroy it for him. To tell you the truth, I have already burned it for him. A dozen paintings."

Xuan Zi: ...

What's going on is even more distressing.

Can she keep it privately?
Seeing Xuan Zi's painful little eyes, Liu Yutao smiled, "The teacher worked so hard to paint those paintings, and the most heartbroken thing to be burned is the teacher himself, but the teacher has always insisted that dissatisfied and flawed works must not be passed on. Going out, he can't do things like smashing his own signboard, so he would rather destroy it himself."

"The teacher is really admirable."

Xuan Zi sighed.

In such an impetuous art market, Huang Zhong still sticks to his principles, which is really rare.

Such a person is a true artist and a master.
