Le Baiyi showed surprise, and even Mu Wanying showed curiosity. Tang Xiu, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face after hearing Professor Hu's words.
Architectural blueprints
Could it be... that picture you drew
Le Baiyi asked: "Old Hu, to be more specific, how can an architectural design drawing win an award in the Asian Painting and Calligraphy Competition?"
Professor Hu said seriously: "What's wrong? You have never seen that painting. If you see it with your own eyes, you will definitely be shocked. I have many famous friends in the field of calligraphy and painting, and even they admire it highly. , I am ashamed of myself. The author of that architectural design drawing is extremely proficient in painting skills. The buildings he painted are even more ingenious, as if he had painted the majestic majesty of the heavenly palace."
suddenly!
Professor Hu's eyes lit up, he quickly took out his mobile phone, opened an email, pulled out a picture from it, handed it to Le Baiyi and said: "I just remembered, I thought an old friend sent this architectural design drawing. . It’s a pity that it’s just a picture and I haven’t seen the original painting.”
Le Baiyi took the phone and after looking at it for a few seconds, his pupils quickly contracted and an incredible light burst out from his eyes. Even though he didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, he could still tell that this architectural design was extraordinary. The power of the brush, the technique, and the grace of the dragon and snake in the brushstrokes are like painting the paradise of dreams.
What shocked him most was not these, but the architectural design itself. The buildings above look extremely majestic and impressive. The weird style brings out the author's whimsical ideas to the fullest.
He dared to say that once someone could build such a large building according to this architectural design, it would definitely become the most famous landmark building in the country. Even, it will be famous not only across the country, but also around the world.
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced. Old man, I have seen a lot of calligraphy and paintings in my life, including many works by famous artists. There is absolutely nothing that can compare with this painting."
Mu Wanying hadn't seen the picture yet, but seeing the teacher's shocked expression, her curiosity was aroused. She stood up gently and came to Le Baiyi's side. After her eyes fell on the picture displayed on the phone screen, her bent waist trembled slightly.
"This is… "
Mu Wanying was shocked. She could hardly believe her eyes. She couldn't believe that someone in this world could paint such a masterpiece. She has seen the fragments of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and she can guarantee that even the complete "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" cannot be compared with this painting.
this painting…
The buildings in this painting should only exist in the sky, how can they be seen on earth
Le Baiyi handed the phone to Mu Wanying. The shocked look on his old face had not faded away, and he sighed: "The person who can draw this painting can definitely be called a painting god. I can't even imagine now. Once How much of a sensation would it cause if the building in this painting were actually built?"
Professor Hu said with approval: "Indeed. If the building in this painting is really built, I will buy a house in the residential area there."
Le Baiyi said decisively: "I'll go too."
Mu Wanying returned to her seat with her phone in hand. Her eyes were full of shock, and she didn't even hear the conversation between Professor Hu and Le Baiyi. Her sensual red lips parted slightly, and she murmured in a low voice: "If the author of this painting is willing to accept a disciple, I will be the first to become his disciple."
Her voice was not loud, but Professor Hu, Le Baiyi, and even Tang Xiu could hear her clearly.
Professor Hu and Le Baiyi looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces. Even they all have this impulse!
Tang Xiu stretched out his hand towards Mu Wanying and said, "Show me."
Mu Wanying came to her senses and handed the phone to Tang Xiu with a complicated expression. Her eyes were a little blurry, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Tang Xiu took the phone and looked at the photos on it, with a smile on his lips. He did not expect that the architectural design drawings that Professor Hu, Le Baiyi, and Mu Wanying praised so much were actually drawn by him.
Subsequently.
He reached out and handed the phone back to Professor Hu.
When Professor Hu and Le Baiyi saw Tang Xiu's appearance, they secretly despised him, thinking that Tang Xiu didn't know how to appreciate things at all. Therefore, the two of them were even more worried about the later competition.
soon.
The waiter from the Lotus Building came to the box and invited everyone to the art exhibition hall downstairs. When the four of them arrived on the first floor, they saw dozens of guests gathered around the two tables in the center of the hall. And the voices of those people's discussions also reached the ears of the four people.
"How lucky you are! Today I can actually see the talent competition between two young talents. Speaking of this painting, I also studied it for a while, but unfortunately I didn't have the talent, so I gave it up. Fortunately, I can follow Lao Wang to Lotus today. Floor, you can also watch a good show of fighting between dragons and tigers."
"I have heard of Zhu Xiang's name. He is a very famous young painter with a very high level. But I have never heard of Tang Xiu. He should be an unknown junior!"
"Zhu Xiang is too arrogant. He just went to the box to toast. He was just coping with the situation. He has no modest attitude at all. Even if a person like this is good at painting, the things he draws may not have much charm. I want to compete with him. That young man made me very curious."
"The whole Jincheng is so big. It would be great to have Zhu Xiang. Is there anyone else who can be more powerful than him? Anyway, I think Zhu Xiang will definitely win tonight."
"I also believe so."
"Just wait and see the show."
“…”
Tang Xiu listened to these discussions and smiled bitterly in his heart. He is not well-known in Jincheng, nor in the world of calligraphy and painting. No wonder everyone has full confidence in Zhu Xiang.
but!
Don't do porcelain work without diamonds.
He is confident in his painting skills. Not to mention that his opponent is just Zhu Xiang, he is not afraid even if he is a domestic master painter.
"Everyone give way."
When Bai Yu saw Tang Xiu and others coming down, he immediately asked everyone to stand back and free up a large area in the middle. She walked up to Tang Xiu and asked, "Are you confident?"
Tang Xiu saw Bai Yu's thoughts, nodded and said, "Don't worry!"
Bai Yu nodded and said: "If you are confident, then show 100% of your strength. I am looking forward to your performance."
Tang Xiu said: "I won't let you down!"
Finished!
He walked to the middle position, glanced at Zhu Xiang lightly, and said, "Show your strength. If you lose, don't say I bullied you."
Zhu Xiang sneered and said: "It's just you? Humph... Maybe you will be qualified to say this after another few decades of training. It's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out and run around!"
Tang Xiu no longer paid attention to him, but looked at Bai Yu and asked calmly: "Competition specifications, what are the requirements?"
Bai Yu brought out ten men and women from the crowd. There were only two young people among them, and the others were middle-aged or old. Bai Yu pointed at the ten people and said: "The ten of them are our distinguished guests, and they all have paintings left in this hall. I can guarantee that it will be absolutely fair and just for them to be the judges. In addition, after they finish the evaluation, the other guests will We will also vote. As for the competition specifications, it is very simple: you have to create a landscape painting related to lotus within half an hour. Brush, paint, and paper are all ready."
"good!"
Tang Xiu nodded and said.
Zhu Xiang said expressionlessly: "I have no problem either."
Bai Yu nodded, looked at the time, and then said: "It is now 8:28 pm, and the end time is 8:58. I announce that it will start now."
Zhu Xiang gave Tang Xiu a sarcastic look, and then quickly grabbed the brush on the table. After thinking about it, he began to apply paint on it and slowly started painting on the flat rice paper.
Tang Xiu was different.
When Bai Yu announced the start, he slowly closed his eyes, imagining the picture he was about to paint in his mind. After a few seconds, he quickly grabbed the brush, identified the various paints, and began to paint. His painting speed is different from Zhu Xiang's. He paints very quickly, and patterns are formed on the white rice paper one by one.
"Lost!"
Mu Wanying saw a hint of bitterness at the corner of her mouth when she saw Tang Xiu's painting speed. She knows the essence of painting very well. Unless he is an extremely good painting master, anyone who dares to paint quickly will never be able to paint a truly good painting.
In the world of painting, there is a saying: Slow work is made with meticulous care, and it is tangible even without spirit.
Mu Wanying had never heard of Tang Xiu's name before, so he should not be well-known in the world of calligraphy and painting. An unknown young man, even if he has some painting skills, may not be able to compare with Zhu Xiang.
Professor Hu shook his head secretly, looked at Tang Xiu from a distance and said with a bitter smile: "Mu Wanying, you should not have agreed to him before. Looking at his appearance, I am afraid he will lose your calligraphy and painting of Wang Xizhi."
Mu Wanying felt a little distressed, but she could still bear it, and said slowly: "If you lose, just lose! If you lose the things outside you, you can find them later."
Professor Hu sighed: "You can think about it. However, I think that Tang Xiu's identity is not simple. If I lose your calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid I will find other ways to make up for you."
Mu Wanying asked in surprise: "What is his identity and background?"
Professor Hu shook his head and said: "I don't know. But have you ever seen an ordinary student who has just taken the college entrance examination, can he spend 20 million to buy a few stones? And he also wants to buy the ore in Lao Le's hands, which shows that he The funds we have now are definitely more than 20 million.”
Mu Wanying was surprised: "The two pieces of winter fluorite and one broken star stone he bought from you are priced so high?"
Professor Hu nodded and said: "Lao Le knew the prices of those two ores. The price I offered was the lowest price I could bear, and the boy was so happy that he asked someone to remit the money to me without haggling at all. The travel bag he just handed over to the waiter for safekeeping, as well as the yellow cloth bundle, are filled with things he bought. To be honest, I can’t understand his origins, nor can I understand him as a person. "
