On the second day, Yuecheng Academy of Fine Arts.
The first class is about the history of Western art. In this class, Liu Yuanxin usually only looks at the PSP in his hand. At this time, he was watching the Japanese supernatural program downloaded yesterday.
This late-night Japanese supernatural show has become quite famous recently, so the download volume in the mainland has also increased sharply, and it happened that he found a website that could download subtitled versions.
On the screen, it is an ordinary dwelling under the night. This dwelling has two floors and looks very dilapidated, and the outer walls are even cracked in many places.
"Everyone, good evening." The host was a sweet-looking Japanese woman in a kimono, and said, "This is the famous Shinozaki house in Kamakura."
Visiting a haunted house is very interesting when you think about it. Liu Yuanxin, who was nervously watching the show, suddenly heard a voice next to him: "Oh? Is it a Japanese drama?"
"Ah... this is Japan's ghost festival... huh?"
He looked to the side, and it turned out to be Kang Yinxuan!
"Yinxuan? Why are you sitting next to me?"
"is it not OK?"
"No... not really..."
Then she continued to look at the screen, and the hostess in kimono continued: "When the Shinozaki family was in the 60th year of the Showa era (that is, in 1985 AD), the Shinozaki couple who lived here were killed by the intruders. A daughter who was still an infant survived. Since then, many people nearby have witnessed ghosts appearing in the windows, and there will be mournful screams at night, causing no one to live in the nearby houses. Kamakura is very famous haunted house."
At this moment, a line of words was typed on the top of the screen. The words were in Japanese and were translated by the subtitle team, which meant "Please pay attention to the windows".
Liu Yuanxin immediately looked over, and Kang Yinxuan at the side also looked over.
Behind the beautiful host in kimono, the window on the left side of the second floor of the "haunted house" is very dark at the moment, and it is almost impossible to see clearly. However, in an instant, a clear white spot appeared on the window!
That white spot... really looks like a human face!
"It must be computer-generated." Kang Yinxuan said disdainfully: "This kind of program must use this method to attract ratings. Anyway, the audience will not explore whether it is a real haunted house or a fake haunted house."
"Don't say that," Liu Yuanxin said with a smile, "then there would be no sense of mystery."
Then, the beautiful host in kimono continued: "Then, let our camera crew follow the audience and enter this haunted house to have a look."
Then, the camera began to move towards the door.
The gate was rusty and full of cobwebs, and the yard was full of weeds, some almost knee-high.
The door wasn't locked at all, and you could get in with a light push.
"Ah, Risa is also very scared at this time..." The beautiful host in kimono is named Itabashi Risa. She seems to have been hosting this show for a while. When entering this haunted house, although she said she was afraid, her voice was not at all The taste of "fear" is in it.
Inside is a very typical Japanese-style room, the wooden floor has been a little festered, and there are sliding doors outside the room. The winding corridor seemed very quiet, and the hostess with the microphone walked towards one of the rooms.
Although he knew that the white spot on the window just now was probably processed in post-production, Liu Yuanxin still felt a little nervous when he saw it. This is an image similar to a documentary, completely different from a horror movie.
Open the sliding door, inside is a room covered with tatami mats, a table is placed in the center of the room, and in the corner of the room, there are several old-looking dolls.
The host Risa walked towards the dolls slowly, and said, "Audience, this should be the living room where Mr. Shinozaki who passed away was in. The room is very small, and there is almost no other furniture. These dolls... listen It is said that Mr. Shinozaki was a doll maker during his lifetime, so it seems that this is probably his work."
There are three dolls in the corner. The camera took a close-up of those puppets.
"This is..." Kang Yinxuan's attention was also focused on this.
Those three puppets had their eyes gouged out! Facing the camera blankly, it looked a little weird. The faces of the dolls are all white, and they are all doll images of girls.
The hostess named Lisa didn't know if it was courageous or something, she actually picked up the doll and touched it, and even started to comment on the workmanship of the doll...
"Little Japan is really perverted... Is she really not afraid at all?"
"I'm afraid this haunted house is completely fabricated," Kang Yinxuan said, "This doll is of course an ordinary prop. It's really scary, and it has been haunted so early in the Showa 60s. The local government may have already Are you tearing down the house?"
Is that so... But Liu Yuanxin felt that if it was a real haunted house, it would be too exciting.
At this moment, Risa put down the doll, looked at his watch, and said, "Audience, the time for the usual mournful cries is almost here..."
Hearing this, Liu Yuanxin also began to feel nervous.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder!
He was startled, turned his head and saw it was An Zi!
"An...Zi, ah, don't scare me, okay. My heart is about to stop..."
"Xiaomei hasn't come to school yet, and her phone is still out of battery... Didn't contact you?"
"No," Liu Yuanxin said after thinking for a while, "Maybe she has something to do temporarily? I will always contact you when the time comes."
"I'm still worried, she's been weird lately... a lot of things are very abnormal..."
Xia Xiaomei is currently staying in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment. Li Yin suggested that some people be selected to wait in the lobby in turn. It is possible that new residents will come back to the apartment out of curiosity. Once they come, they should be told about the apartment immediately. And Xia Xiaomei volunteered.
"Don't you still have to go to school?" Li Yin also said at the time: "It's not good to be absent from class?"
"It doesn't matter, we are doing this to save lives!" Xia Xiaomei took on this task with great enthusiasm, as if she could give it up to me, so Li Yin agreed.
But how did she know... If she went back to school, she would be able to find the four "new residents" immediately...
In the afternoon, it is Teacher Zhuang's class. And as soon as he entered, he announced a news that stunned everyone on the spot: "The art exam is temporarily rescheduled to tomorrow! The person whose name I called below cannot leave after school and stay in the art classroom. I will be responsible for making up lessons myself!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar of people below, and protests continued one after another. However, the strong Teacher Zhuang continued: "I have already made my decision, and I will not change it! Next, I will start to read the names. Zong Yanzhou, An Zi, Kang Yinxuan, Liu Yuanxin!"
The people whose names were read all looked at each other in dismay, and immediately understood... this is troublesome...
In this class, the four of them hardly listened to anything. There is an exam tomorrow
After the class was over, Mr. Zhuang fixed his eyes on the four people, and none of them could escape. I had no choice but to stay obediently.
"Do you know why I only keep the four of you?"
In the large and empty art classroom, all four of them had bitter faces, and Liu Yuanxin was the first to speak: "I know... I know."
"Oh, tell me then."
"Because our paintings... are poorly drawn..."
"It's not that your paintings are bad, but that they have no soul at all!" Teacher Zhuang took out a dozen drawing papers and said, "This is your homework for this semester! It makes me wonder if you entered the Yuecheng Academy of Fine Arts through the back door!"
An Zi took the handed out painting, looked at her own painting on it, and scrutinized it repeatedly. She felt that her painting was indeed not particularly good, but it couldn't be so bad, right
And Liu Yuanxin and Kang Yinxuan obviously did not agree with Mr. Zhuang's words, but... can they refute
On the other hand, Zong Yanzhou, after receiving the paintings, said, "I'm really not good at learning, I hope the teacher can give me some advice."
"Okay! That's the attitude you want!" Teacher Zhuang seemed very satisfied with Zong Yanzhou's self-examination, and continued, "An Zi, tell me, what's the problem with your work?"
"Well... my work... probably coloring..."
"Of course the coloring is hopelessly poor! But the key is that the scenery you painted is lifeless and lifeless! It's obviously a rush work!"
"Ah...but I..."
"And you, Kang Yinxuan! Your work, the coloring is still remarkable, but the scenery doesn't have a good sense of distance at all! Especially some details..."
After chatting like this for about half an hour, the painting in the hands of the four people is about to become a disgrace to the entire Yuecheng Academy of Fine Arts. At this time, Liu Yuanxin was already cursing Mr. Zhuang in circles in his heart...
"So!" Mr. Zhuang slammed the podium and said, "Your current level wants to pass tomorrow's exam. It's just a dream! Now, I will draw a picture for you to see! Let you know what is real. art!"
This surprised the four of them, but then they began to realize...
I'm afraid it's going to be late...
Does anyone know how long it took to paint this painting? And in order to demonstrate it to them, I will definitely draw more carefully, and I will definitely ask them to talk about their impressions after the painting...
However, there is no way but to watch him draw.
Teacher Zhuang opened the display cabinet behind the art classroom, took out the model for painting, put it on the podium, set up the drawing board, took out the paint and palette, rolled up his sleeves, and started painting.
The four of them could only watch helplessly. They knew very well that Teacher Zhuang would definitely ask them a lot of questions after the painting was finished, and it would be a disaster if they didn't look carefully now.
However, all four of them had to admire Mr. Zhuang's attainment in oil painting, which was really high. I heard that he held a solo exhibition when he was young, and Yuecheng Academy of Fine Arts spent a lot of money to hire him as a tutor of the oil painting department.
While watching him slowly outline the lines, Liu Yuanxin had a hard time concentrating on his thoughts. In my heart, I was still thinking about that supernatural program.
Time passed little by little, and when Teacher Zhuang finally started to paint, it was already very late.
"That... Teacher..." Liu Yuanxin asked: "Let's... how about going to eat first? Teacher, you can also take a rest..."
"What's the hurry! What's wrong with young people eating late! Keep watching! I'll eat after I finish painting!"
Liu Yuanxin hurriedly said: "Then... let's order takeaway from the head office, shall we? Watch while eating..."
"Okay, whatever you want."
As soon as he received an amnesty, Liu Yuanxin immediately started making phone calls. The people around are not very demanding, so I am not in the mood to eat at this time. Thinking of the exam tomorrow, and this strict teacher Zhuang...
When the takeaway arrived, the coloring was only half done. It can be seen that Mr. Zhuang painted very carefully, staring at the canvas completely.
When the painting was finally finished, the four of them had to praise Mr. Zhuang's skills. This oil painting looked ordinary, but it felt lifelike. The tone, background and details were handled impeccably. Zong Yanzhou even stared straight at the eyes .
Next, Mr. Zhuang said: "You guys comment on this painting. Try to express your true feelings and don't flatter."
Zong Yanzhou immediately said: "Teacher, the background of this painting is the best. Because..."
While Zong Yanzhou was speaking, Liu Yuanxin was about to doze off. However, you can't lie on the table and just pray for an early end.
After about an hour, Teacher Zhuang finally said: "You should remember what I said today. Be sure to remember every detail of my previous painting. Remember, my requirements are still very strict. Tomorrow's exam, If you don’t reach half the level of this painting, you will fail! Ordinary grades will also be considered as failures! In that way, I will not be able to give you credits unless you achieve full marks in the final exam.”
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Are you confident that you will pass tomorrow's exam?"
"have!"
Even if the four of them are not confident at this time, they have to say they are confident.
"Really? What if it doesn't pass?"
Liu Yuanxin couldn't take it anymore. What should we do now? Isn't it just that you won't get credits by then
He gritted his teeth, suddenly took out his PSP and opened it, pointed to the supernatural program on it, and said, "Teacher, have you seen it? This is a famous haunted house in Kamakura, Japan. I swear to you, if we fail tomorrow Exam, let the ghost inside come to China to find us! Okay?"
Then he turned his head and winked at the three people behind him, meaning to go along with him, otherwise who knows how late it will be.
The three of them also responded, and An Zi said: "Yes, if we fail the exam, let this ghost come to us!"
Kang Yinxuan pushed her glasses and said, "I also swear to you, teacher, I must pass the exam tomorrow, otherwise this ghost will come to my house to look for me."
Zong Yanzhou felt that this statement was boring, but seeing other people saying that, he also nodded and said: "Teacher, I also swear, if you fail the exam, let the ghost come to me!"
Teacher Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that you are very confident. You have sworn on ghosts and gods. Well, I see that you are so confident. Let's stop here for today. Remember your oath, you will definitely give me tomorrow." I pass!"
