Return to the Road of God

Because of Ge Qinzhou's fame, everyone's uneasiness was suppressed for the time being. The creative painting competition was considered a complete success, after which the experts from all parties went back home.

When Guan Hongze returned to City B the next day, he no longer asked Fu Tingxin to meet, and the two bid farewell.Before leaving, the two sides asked about their future whereabouts. Fu Tingxin said that he would return to country A after the Spring Festival in China, and Guan Hongze would go to country A to study in August next year, so they left their phone numbers and emails with each other. Make an appointment to contact in the future.

On the way home, Fu Ran asked Fu Tingxin what he had gained from this trip.

Fu Tingxin: "I met a friend."

Fu Ran: "None of those paintings can be admired by you?"

Fu Tingxin said casually: "That's it."

Fu Ran: "Do you know why those paintings won prizes?"

Fu Tingxin: "Is the painting good? Ah, speaking of whether the painting is good or not, I think that "Winter" is very good, but it's a pity that it won No.3."

Fu Ran smiled and said: "That's the reason. The theme of the competition is creativity. Since the name of the creative painting competition is taken, the competition is not painting skills. This creativity is not deliberate. If the painter intentionally thinks of a novel painting method , it is not the creativity required by the competition.”

Fu Tingxin was confused by his grandfather, and asked directly: "Then what kind is good?"

Fu Ran: "The competition limits the age range of the contestants to fourteen to fourteen. As long as the painter can express the ideas of this age group with the painting, it is good. The "Dream" is a work that directly hits the theme. After this age , even if you want to draw this kind of picture, you can’t draw it. But the "Winter Day" you mentioned is the so-called "creativity" studied by the painter from the perspective of an adult, no matter how good his painting skills are, You can't get first."

Fu Tingxin was thoughtful, and Fu Ran continued: "Although your painting is better than any other kid in the museum just now, your thinking has not kept up with your painting skills. If you are allowed to participate in this competition, Maybe you can only get third at most."

Yes, this child is indeed the most talented child of the Fu family in recent decades. He has not had a suitable peer of the same age since he was a child, or in other words, a decent opponent.As a young artist, he is surrounded by painters who are several rounds older than him, which is almost fatal to his ideological confinement.

This time I took him to see the painting in person, hoping to give him some inspiration from it.

"Thinking..." Fu Tingxin murmured.

Guan Linyun flew back to City B that night due to business, and Guan Hongze was not in a hurry during the holiday, saying that he wanted to visit the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts before dark, and take a stroll in City S the next day before going back.

Chong Shan was planning to accompany him in person, but he received a call from Rui Beinian who had contacted him not long ago.

"Mr. Chong, I beg you to look at the painting well. I wonder if you have come to a conclusion?" Rui Beinian asked anxiously as soon as he answered the phone.

Chong Shan was taken aback: "Have you sent it to me? I haven't received it yet!"

Rui Beinian said in shock, "Didn't receive it? No way! It's been half a month since I sent it!"

Chong Shan thought about it, and immediately realized: "Ah! In the past two days of the painting competition, the mail room received dozens or even hundreds of works every day. I will go over and ask now to see if they are confused."

Rui Beinian said nervously, "Then please call me back in time!"

Chong Shan hung up the phone, Guan Hongze asked, "What's wrong?"

Chong Shan said helplessly: "A friend of Second Young Master Guan asked me to help him look at a painting, and the other party was very anxious."

Guan Hongze frowned and said, "My uncle entrusted you? I met some cronies again, who came to trouble you."

Chong Shan: "It's not a trouble, it's just a matter of raising your hand, and I've already promised him, it seems that I can't accompany you to school today."

Guan Hongze said: "Are you going to the mail room? Anyway, I'm fine. I'll go with you. I'll take a stroll along the way."

Chong Shan smiled, and led Guan Hongze while walking, saying that Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts is located in the former French Concession of City S, and many teaching buildings in the school are typical European style, which has a unique taste.

"Are you going abroad in August next year?" Chong Shan asked.

Guan Hongze: "It's already this year."

Chong Shan laughed: "I forgot, it's the millennium now... Are you willing to stay home?"

Guan Hongze: "There is nothing to be reluctant to part with, and I will come back anyway."

Chong Shan: "You, you are still so calm, you don't look like a 16-year-old child at all."

Guan Hongze: "I just had my birthday last week, so I'm already seventeen."

Chongshan: "..."

The two chatted and went to the mailroom, but when they asked, they were told that there was indeed a letter addressed to Professor Chong, in an envelope about A4 size, but someone from the Art Research Center had just cleared the letters today, and all of them were taken away. I went to the logistics department. The director of the logistics department is Mr. Wang who disposed of the discarded paintings.

Chong Shan and Guan Hongze returned to the exhibition hall. Teacher Wang said, "Your letter? I didn't hear about it. Xiao Zhang said that he had accepted a batch of late paintings, and I asked him to deal with them!"

Chongshan: "..."

Guan Hongze asked, "Where are those paintings?"

Teacher Wang said: "It's piled up in the corridor outside... Oh, Xiao Zhang, how can you be so careless in handling things! Teacher Chong, what letter did you lose, is it important?"

Chong Shan frowned, and didn't know what to say. He heard Rui Beinian said that it was a copy, and the teacher here didn't find any particularly excellent works after reviewing it. It stands to reason that it's okay to lose it, but after all The other party asked politely, and he himself spoke first, so it would be dishonest to be so careless.

Teacher Wang took them to the corridor, Chongshan saw the row of densely packed paintings up to half waist height, his head grew big: "Hongze, why don't you go back to the hotel first..."

Guan Hongze had already walked along the stacked paintings, scanning the top layer all the way, flipping through them casually, because most of the contestants would send A2 size works, even A3 is less , so the A4 size envelope should be very conspicuous, and it is not likely to be placed on the bottom layer when it is received in the morning.

"Here!" Sure enough, as he expected, an A4-sized cowhide bag was on the shallow layer of the pile of paintings, and the envelope was written "Received by Chongshan, Art Research Center of Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts", but there was nothing inside the envelope. I didn't see any drawing paper of the corresponding size near the envelope either!

"What's going on here?" Teacher Wang called Xiao Zhang in a hurry. After hearing the news, Xiao Zhang rushed over and explained nervously: "I didn't take it, and I didn't throw it away. I put it here after reading it!"

"Don't worry, it's not a valuable item, it's a painting. Do you remember what kind of painting it is?" Chong Shan asked.

Because the A4 drawing paper is small, Xiao Zhang still has an impression, and said: "It's a few sheets of copy paper, with a bunch of strange messy lines on it."

"Are there several..." Guan Hongze pondered, "It seems that they are not lost, but taken away by someone."

Chong Shan sighed: "It seems that I can only trouble the other party to send it again."

"Since it's not the original copy, you can ask him to scan it for you." Guan Hongze suggested.

Chong Shan listened with a smile: "I didn't expect that." In this era, the usage rate of scanners is not high, but ordinary photo shops and copy shops are equipped with them. Chong Shan called Rui Beinian back, apologized repeatedly, and let Rui Beinian scanned the painting for him.The two went to Chongshan's office to look at the paintings together after dinner, and Guan Hongze became interested. Since even the copies would be taken away, it must be something interesting.

The scanned documents were downloaded one by one, and Chong Shan said to Guan Hongze, "Look at it first."

Electronic documents are always not as clear as paper documents, and they don’t feel as intuitive as paper ones, but fortunately, the pictures are not delicate. It’s just like what Xiao Zhang said, just a bunch of messy lines, but the messy lines make the official Hongze had a very strange feeling that this was not made of scribbles... He looked at a few pictures, but he couldn't explain why, but he was always attracted to continue exploring. unprecedented.

He turned around to ask Chongshan, but saw that his teacher was also staring at the screen intently, with a dignified expression.

Guan Hongze asked: "Teacher, what do you think this is?"

Chong Shan: "Although the brush strokes are a bit immature, this should be the line of flowing wind returning to snow..."

Guan Hongze: "The flowing wind returns to the snow line?"

"You know, line is the most basic element in structural art," said Chong Shan. "We generally understand the inner rhythm of the work by analyzing the line. Everyone learns to draw from the line, such as drawing, sketching, Sketching, etc., but the wind and snow line is the most complicated and difficult to control a painting method."

Guan Hongze: "How to say?"

Chongshan: "It starts with the traditional Chinese painting in our country. There are 'six methods' in traditional Chinese painting, such as 'vivid charm', 'bone method using brush', 'responsive to objects and pictograms', among which the 'bone method using brush' is a kind of The line-drawing method generally refers to the strength of the brush to express the upright character. In addition, there are other line-drawing techniques that constitute the "Eighteen Sketches" of traditional Chinese painting, such as "Brushless Qilian" and "Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water". These are quite superb meticulous line drawing methods. We There is no distinction between Chinese calligraphy and painting, some people say that Chinese calligraphy is also drawing lines, on the contrary, Chinese painting can also be said to be 'written', without a certain calligraphy foundation, it is impossible to draw Chinese painting well."

"...The Liufenghuixue line is a combination of the bone method brush and the eighteen strokes. The character determines the ups and downs of the pen force, and the pen force forms the painting style, just like the original meaning of 'Liufenghuixue'. The pen is as free and ethereal as the flowing wind, bringing the snow The fog is dense and natural!"

Guan Hongze couldn't help but feel agitated when he heard this, but the paintings in front of him...

"Are these also Liufenghuixue lines? Why can't I feel the special beauty you described?" Guan Hongze asked, "Yes, this is exactly the contradiction. The lines on this painting are jerky and stiff, like It was done by a novice, but the intention and direction of his line is indeed the Liufenghuixue line, otherwise it would not have attracted the two of us to watch it for so long."

"...Did someone imitate it and draw it?"

"It cannot be imitated. If anyone could imitate, this painting method would not be so highly praised. Besides, didn't I just mention the 'bone method'? Without this point, it is only 'Eighteen strokes'. People can draw unique Liufenghuixue lines according to their personalities."

"So, this person is very powerful?" Guan Hongze pointed at the screen.

"It's still inconclusive, because it's just lines, and it's amazing to let the lines form a picture."

"Wait," Guan Hongze said, "No wonder I feel that these paintings are only partial..."

Chongshan asked Guan Hongze to mention a point, and he realized it instantly. He printed out all the paintings, spread them on the table and began to arrange them. Soon, several of the paintings were put together.

Guan Hongze: "Is this a picture divided into several parts and sent?"

"No, each one is drawn individually, you can tell by looking carefully at the edges of each painting... Eh, there are only nine?"

"Well, it doesn't look like half of the whole picture."

"However, it can basically be inferred that it is a portrait."

The nine paintings spread out on the table can almost spell out half of a face, but due to the lack of eyes, people can't read the expressions of the characters.

The author has something to say: 【Interested friends can search for "dotted lines and planes", and you can see paintings similar to Ye Yufan's paintings on Baidu Pictures. "Six methods of Chinese painting" and "Eighteen strokes" are also available on Baidu, but you don't need to search for "Liufenghuixuexian", this is "Kung Fu", similar to "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon", they are all made up by the author, don't take it too seriously, novels There's nothing wrong with logic. 】————

I saw that some readers said that they skipped the sub-CP, so they are very unfamiliar with the characters that appear now. Let me explain, this is not a story about pure feelings, but a story about artists (the title is very big, but there are many gays among the artists, you know ), where entanglements run through three generations, with as many as four or five character lines, and the background will not be limited to a small city, so readers should not simply stand in line or skip reading, the characters appearing in each chapter will have an impact on the development of the following plot, It's not a casual passer-by, skipping reading may lead to incomprehension, it is normal to have the idea of ​​"the plot develops too slowly", it is recommended to read it once a week, it will be better, but I also hope that everyone can leave more comments.After I started the article, I kept thinking whether I was writing such a complicated web article because my brain was flooded. It must be difficult for readers to read it, but I wanted to write some meaningful Tanmei novels while I was still motivated. After that, I I will make a character relationship table for understanding, I hope you enjoy reading.
