be late

After Shu Yubai submitted his works for the national exhibition, he was free for a while.In the past few days, this is the most important thing at hand.

The National Art Exhibition, also known as the National Art Exhibition, is the most authoritative and largest top-level exhibition in the domestic art world. [Note 1] Every year, many professional or amateur art lovers submit their works in an attempt to squeeze into the fair and stand out.

The number of submissions in just one exhibition area is as many as tens of thousands, and only a few hundred are actually included in the exhibition, and the admission rate is only about 1%.

The national exhibition is the most competitive among all art exhibitions.

It is very difficult to be shortlisted, let alone win a gold medal in the national exhibition.

Shu Yubai hadn't participated in the exhibition for a long time, and she didn't dare to think about the result. In the past few days, she took Nan Xue to look around the exhibition leisurely. Instill a bit of art in her: "Look at this composition..."

"Look at the design of this color..."

Nan Xue closed her eyes and said softly, "Sister, you watch first, I'll go to the bathroom and wash my face."

"tired?"

Shu Yubai looked at her with concern.

Nan Xue nodded: "I'm a little sleepy, the heating temperature inside is so high."

"Go."

Shu Yubai waved his hand.

"This is a small exhibition, a painter's solo exhibition."

In the City Art Museum, several people were talking quietly there, their voices lowered, for fear of disturbing others.

Shu Yubai was looking at them one by one, and suddenly saw a familiar person, a friend who was very familiar with him before. After Shu Yubai injured his wrist, he seldom contacted him.

"You too?"

She walked over and patted the man on the shoulder.

The other party turned around and glanced at her as if they didn't know each other. After a long time, he smiled strangely: "Yubai."

This person was called Zhang Ziyu, and she had a good relationship with her in the past. Shu Yubai felt that talking to her was very kind, and he always liked staying with her.Zhang Ziyu has a soft personality, and she has no edges and corners in dealing with others. She is the kind of girl who is very reassuring.

Therefore, there have always been many people who have a good relationship with her.

"Come to the exhibition too?"

The two exchanged greetings there. On the wall, the lights were dim, and many paintings were hung on it. There were not many people in the exhibition hall.

"Ah."

Zhang Ziyu nodded and said, "My painting is over there, do you want to take a look?"

Shu Yubai was taken aback, thinking, it was her paintings that were exhibited, it was a coincidence.

Her paintings were hung in the most conspicuous position in an exhibition hall, two large ones, next to the artist's personal introduction, Zhang Ziyu's painting won the highest award, and was placed there to attract the masses.

A dense circle of people surrounded the painting, praising the painting.

The painter next to him listed a lot of award-winning deeds in his life. Although Shu Yubai has faded out these years, some people are still fighting. She glanced at Zhang Ziyu's awards and felt a little embarrassed.

"how are things?"

Zhang Ziyu asked her: "Are you still painting? I haven't heard from you for many years."

"It's been a long time since I drew."

Shu Yubai lowered his head and sighed softly.

"Ah, what a pity."

Zhang Ziyu heard about her, and asked again: "Then, do you still participate in the National Art Exhibition? It only happens every few years, so it would be a pity not to go."

Shu Yubai nodded, with crooked red lips, smiled, and said, "Go. Let's run away with you."

Zhang Ziyu shook her head and smiled, comforting her: "It's okay, Bei Zhen said, she will go too. This time because the subject matter is broad, unlike before, the theme is always popular and special. Many people who didn't like this kind of exhibition also said they want to participate. Woolen cloth."

"Is it?"

Shu Yubai sighed worriedly: "The competition is quite fierce. However, it doesn't matter whether it is fierce or not. I'm just a foil."

Zhang Ziyu didn't speak, she looked down at the time, and was about to leave, when a tall and thin girl walked over from a distance, her skin was cold and pale, dazzling in the crowd.

The girl's eyes were faint, she glanced at her, then went to put her arms around Shu Yubai's waist from behind, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, do you still want to watch?"

"Don't read it, let's go, go home?"

Shu Yubai raised his eyes and said softly.

Zhang Ziyu glanced at Nan Xue, her pupils shrank.

She... Isn't she the person in that video?Bei Zhen sent her the video, and the two laughed and teased at the video for a long time, she recognized Nan Xue immediately.

Nan Xue, the only daughter of Nan Mingzhuo.

Shu Yubai has not been doing well in recent years, but he has climbed to a high branch. Zhang Ziyu took a look at the two of them, feeling inexplicably unhappy.But she didn't look annoyed, she wasn't in a hurry

As a painter, Shu Yubai's inability to paint is already a failure. What is the comparison with her?

She still had a smile on her lips, and said: "I'll go first, there will be an interview later, Yu Bai will read it slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Shu Yubai looked at her back and sighed softly.

"Sister, who is she?"

Nan Xue asked.

"I used to have a friend... but I haven't contacted for a long time. I just met by chance and chatted for a few words."

Nan Xue frowned.

friend?She doesn't think so.

Nan Xue glanced at the luxuriously dressed woman in front of her, and she didn't like this person very much for no reason.

Exhibiting is a big deal.

Xiao Yi and You Fu both came to greet her and asked her if she had signed up and submitted her works. Shu Yubai responded one by one, and said that he had little hope of entering the exhibition, and it was up to them to win awards.

You Fu's level is better than Xiao Yi's, and it's easy for her to win the gold medal.

Xiao Yi won an art critic award in a certain year, but Hua'er was not shortlisted.

Shu Yubai hadn't participated in such a grand exhibition for a long time, she was familiar with it silently while browsing the webpage.

According to the news published on the official website, this National Art Exhibition adopts a two-stage exhibition method, first exhibiting in different exhibition areas according to the type of painting, and then holding an exhibition of award-winning and award-winning works in Beijing.

In the first stage, the names of the sub-exhibitions in each province are unified as "No. xx Exhibition Area of ​​the 16th National Art Works Exhibition". Among them, the exhibition area of ​​traditional Chinese painting happens to be in this city.

The local exhibition area is responsible for sending the award-winning and nominated works of this type of painting to the National Art Exhibition Office in Beijing. After being approved by the general review committee, they will participate in the exhibition of the winning and nominated works of the National Art Exhibition.

In the second stage, the "No.16 National Art Exhibition Awards and Award Nominations Exhibition" will be held in Beijing.

The exhibition lasts for half a month, and the "National Art Exhibition Award-Winning and Award-Nominated Works Exhibition" will be held in the National Art Museum, and the opening ceremony and award ceremony will be held grandly. [Note 2] That is to say, if a work wants to win an award, it needs to go through two rounds of selection. The first round is from the province, and after passing the selection, it will be selected to enter Beijing. The second round is the selection of the headquarters of the art exhibition.

"Senior sister, do you think I can be shortlisted?"

For some reason, Shu Yubai was already getting nervous before the time for the announcement of the exhibition results. She hesitated for a moment, and sent the first two of the three works she had prepared to You Fu.

As for the third

She was a little embarrassed, after all, the painting was Nan Xue, and there were many personal emotional things in the painting, so she hid it and covered it, not daring to show it to You Fu.

You Fu looked at the first two pictures she drew, and commented objectively:

"It should be no problem to be shortlisted, but I don't know if I can win the award."

Being shortlisted and winning are two concepts.

Taking the college entrance examination as an analogy, being shortlisted is similar to passing the main line and winning... That is the Qingbei level, and the difficulty is not the same level.These two landscape paintings by Shu Yubai are good or bad, but they lack a little originality, and they cannot be found among the vast pile of paintings.

"Anything else?"

You Fu asked her: "You only prepared these two?"

"One more."

Shu Yubai blushed a little, and was embarrassed to show her, so he said vaguely: "I didn't take that picture, but it's almost the same as these two pictures."

"it does not matter."

You Fu comforted her softly: "Maybe you can be more relaxed this time, and you can win an award. Besides, you have just started painting again, and the road is made step by step. Don't worry."

"Ah."

Shu Yubai nodded.

After the work was submitted, it took a while.

The results of the re-evaluation of the Chinese painting exhibition area have been announced.

Shu Yubai's fingers trembled, and her heart beat violently. At this moment, she had predicted many kinds of outcomes in her mind, good or bad, her fingers trembled nervously.

The results of the re-evaluation will be published on the official website, listing the winning works, the name of the artist, and the source of the province.

Shu Yubai clicked on the webpage and looked for it in the announcement form.

Search one by one in the densely packed small characters, from top to bottom, slide through many unknown names and beautiful titles of works.

I saw You Fu's name and Xiao Yi's.

Just without her.

Maybe it didn't enter the exhibition.

She submitted three, but none?

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

The work "The Girl in the Deep of the Reed Flower" was successfully selected as a work to enter Beijing after re-evaluation.

On a night in early spring, when it was warm and cold, Nanxue’s house was lit, and there was only the sound of insects in the surroundings. Shu Yubai put down his laptop, closed his eyes, and took a long breath. Her red lips gently She bent over, her soft cheeks were full of unstoppable smiles.

——It’s been a long time, really long time.

She has a feeling of coming out again.

It seems that the cocoon of darkness has been opened again, and a little bit of dawn has been glimpsed.

The corners of Shu Yubai's lips curled up, the night was getting dark, she gathered her coat, and rushed to Nan Xue's room quickly, before the man could react, Shu Yubai put his arms around her waist, and kissed her gently In the past, after kissing for a long time, she smiled and whispered in her ear: "Nan Xue, I might...be about to win an award."
