Before coming to Jian'an City from the capital, Zhang Yimou met Liu Yizhi in the capital.
Both are disciples of Tang Huiqin, a leading figure in the painting world, and Zhang Yimou and Liu Yizhi are familiar with each other. In addition, both of them are now considered successful. Zhang Yimou is a major international director, while Liu Yizhi is a hot new star in the world of painting.
Therefore, the two of them had a long-awaited conversation in the capital. During the dinner, Liu Yizhi proudly took out Su Lin's two paintings and gave them to Zhang Yimou to taste them. After all, Zhang Yimou also studied oil painting with Tang Huiqin before. When Zhang Yimou saw these two paintings, he was immediately amazed and admired them even more. At first, he thought that these two paintings were the works of Liu Yizhi, but Liu Yizhi later told him that there was actually someone else who painted these two paintings.
Liu Yizhi is now commissioned by this painter to take these two paintings to Paris, France, to participate in the World Oil Painting Exhibition in Europe in September. Zhang Yimou desperately wanted to know from Liu Yizhi who the author of these two paintings was, but no matter what, Liu Yizhi did not reveal any personal information about the author. This has become a problem these days. A mystery that has always been in Zhang Yimou's mind is, who in the domestic painting circle has such skill and can paint such stunning works
I searched in my mind some new painters who have emerged in the domestic painting world over the years, as well as some powerful painters of the older generation. Zhang Yimou is familiar with almost all of them, because he himself has also learned oil painting and is also a collector of oil paintings. However, as far as he knew among the painters, no one had such strength. To be able to draw such two wonderful paintings.
These two paintings combine Chinese and Western characteristics, showing three different female forms in one painting. Named "She She She" by Liu Yizhi, Zhang Yimou also felt that such a title was very appropriate for this painting.
Zhang Yimou is a person who loves painting. When he saw these two paintings for the first time, Zhang Yimou had a strong feeling that he wanted to keep them for himself. However, Zhang Yimou knew that once these two paintings were exposed in the international painting community. It will be completely hyped to a sky-high price. Even with his modest net worth, it was impossible for him to bid for two paintings like this among so many enthusiastic European collectors.
so. When Zhang Yimou was in the capital. Already dozens of times. He wanted Liu Yizhi to secretly sell these two paintings to him. However, Liu Yizhi has always admitted that he cannot make the decision and must first take these two paintings to Paris, Europe. Let those rebellious painters and collectors in the West be completely impressed by the works of our talented Chinese painters.
Over the years, Zhang Yimou has traveled extensively, from a penniless cameraman to a major international director. He has seen many collections, including many valuable calligraphy and paintings, but there has never been one thing that he wanted to possess so much. The two paintings brought by Liu Yizhi are simply ingenious and have a completely convincing charm. Zhang Yimou has always been worried about Fa's possession of these two paintings. [
But he didn't expect that when Zhang Yimou came to the small city of Jian'an, he heard from Fang Liping that the author of these two paintings was actually on this bus.
"There are only a dozen people on this bus. Apart from the staff I brought, there are only a few staff members from the Jian'an City Propaganda Department, four image spokespersons, and a female criminal police captain."
Carefully looking at the people in the bus in front of him, Zhang Yimou's eyes shone brightly, and he began to scan, "The staff of the Jian'an City Propaganda Department all look general, and they should not be the authors of this kind of oil painting. And that one The female detective obviously doesn't know anything about oil painting, so there are only four image spokespersons left. Yun Yiyi is a big singer, so naturally she doesn't know how to paint. That little loli is so cute. It is said that she is still in high school and she is so young. It shouldn't be her. Then the only ones left are the boy named Su Lin, and... and Liping's daughter Qin Yanran... "
There are not many people in the car. As long as they pass rational screening, the range can be determined.
"Yes! It's Qin Yanran. It must be Qin Yanran. Yanran is the teacher's granddaughter. I heard Liping say that Yanran was taught by the teacher to learn painting since she was a child, and she has great talent. And these two paintings are obviously about them. Grandfather and grandson. So the person here who is most likely to have the most conditions and talent to paint those two paintings is undoubtedly Yanran!"
Looking closely at Qin Yanran, Zhang Yimou was sure that those two paintings were painted by Qin Yanran, and his heart became even more intense. Qin Yanran, who is able to create such paintings, will undoubtedly become a great figure in the history of world oil painting, and is even expected to go down in history alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh and other century masters.
"Li Ping, are these two paintings really painted by her?"
Zhang Yimou guessed that the painting was drawn by Qin Yanran, but he did not say it directly, but said vaguely, "It's the one in this car, are you sure?"
"Well! It's nothing now. If those two paintings are exposed to the world of painting after the World Oil Painting Exhibition in September, then his identity will be kept secret, otherwise it will disrupt his college life. So, Brother Zhang, I also hope that after you find out, you can keep this secret and don't take the initiative to reveal his identity to the outside world. "
Fang Liping just saw Zhang Yimou's eyes fixed on Su Lin for a while, and she thought that Zhang Yimou knew that the two paintings were painted by Su Lin. Therefore, Su Lin's name was not mentioned directly. The two of them used the terms "he" and "she" in their speeches.
"Of course I understand this. Liping, these two paintings are really amazing. You are really lucky! But she still has to spend four years of college life at Qingbei University. I understand that you don't want to let this happen. The incident disrupted her normal study life."
Zhang Yimou nodded and expressed understanding. He thought Fang Liping was worried about his daughter Qin Yanran, but what he didn't know was that he was the boy Su Lin that Zhang Yimou looked down on and ignored.
"Okay. Brother Zhang, let's not talk about this anymore. We haven't seen each other for so many years. We didn't have a good chat because it rained yesterday. How are you and your sister-in-law doing? Didn't you give birth to two children recently? The news is using the fact that you were born as a gimmick!"
Fang Liping changed the topic and talked about the recent news about Zhang Yimou's death.
"There is no way! In fact, your sister-in-law and I have...no feelings anymore. We can continue to live together for the sake of our children." Zhang Yimou sighed and said, "In fact, over the years, I I have always been busy with work. I am also lukewarm towards her. Liping, you... you know, in my heart. It has always... always been you. When I got married to her, it was... also because of your marriage. Yes, when I get angry..."[
"Brother Zhang, don't... don't say any more. Now you have your own family and are someone else's husband. You are the father of two children. Saying such things again is irresponsible behavior."
Hearing what Zhang Yimou said. Fang Liping's expression immediately changed. How could she not understand the meaning of Zhang Yimou's words? She shook her head and objected. "Moreover, Brother Zhang, my feelings for you have been made clear twenty years ago. I only regard you as a reliable big brother. There is no love between men and women at all. The only person I love has always been One, used to be Zemin, now..."
Speaking of the present, Fang Liping paused for a moment. She felt a little guilty and vague, but the figure of Su Lin appeared in her mind. In the end, she did not say any more and just said vaguely to Zhang Yimou, "Now... now I don't think about that anymore." I have never thought about getting married or looking for anyone again. I will spend the rest of my life with my daughter Yanran. So, Brother Zhang, please respect yourself. Ideas and ideas that you shouldn’t have, it’s best to Erase everything in your mind. Otherwise, there will be a rift in our friendship that has lasted for so many years."
"Yes, yes... Liping, yes... I was abrupt. It's just that I still miss you in my heart. I also know that it's impossible for us now."
Lowering his head in disappointment, Zhang Yimou sighed, raised his head again, looked at Fang Liping and said, "But Liping, over the years, you... haven't it been hard for you? You have to take care of the teacher and Yanran by yourself, and you still have responsibilities. Such heavy work.”
"Whether it's hard work or not, this is my business. Brother Zhang, I'm very grateful to you for volunteering to help shoot "Beautiful City" this time, but if you come with other intentions, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. That’s all. I won’t say it again in the future, Brother Zhang, I’m sorry.”
Fang Liping has never been a sloppy person. She knew what Zhang Yimou meant from his words, so she naturally wanted to nip his thoughts in the cradle. Because she knows that once her attitude is unclear and she gives hope to the other party, she is likely to be entangled. Moreover, Zhang Yimou was a senior she had known for more than 20 years, a disciple of her mother, and an international director. Reporters from the entertainment industry often broke the news. If his relationship with her and his persistent pursuit of her were After being exposed, it will be even more troublesome.
Celebrities always get a lot of attention. Yun Yiyi gets a lot of attention, and Zhang Yimou gets a lot of attention. Even the story of Zhang Yimou's reincarnation was revealed by media reporters. Moreover, Zhang Yimou still had a wife and children, which made Fang Liping decide without hesitation to cut him off decisively.
"Liping, I'm sorry! I understand and I won't do this again."
Director Zhang Yimou, who was so arrogant on the set and in front of the actors, had no temper at all in front of Fang Liping. Although he had already expected such a result in his heart, after all, he knew his junior sister Fang Liping very well, but he would not give up if he got the answer without asking. But now that he heard the answer from Fang Liping, he knew that he had no hope at all. The bitter taste in his heart was still indescribable.
Zhang Yimou fell in love with Fang Liping from the first time he met her when he was 26 or 27 years old. Fang Liping was the first girl he fell in love with, the first girl who took the initiative to confess her love, and the first girl who was rejected, and he would not forget her for twenty years after that.
But now, all illusions and expectations have been dashed. Zhang Yimou knew Fang Liping, and since she told him so categorically, he would never have a chance.
"Perhaps now, Liping has completely lost all thoughts on that aspect! Zemin's death was a huge blow to him."
Zhang Yimou comforted himself, thinking this in his heart, but he did not expect that Fang Liping left her seat, sat down in the row at the back where Su Lin was, squeezed in next to Han Xiaoxiao, and smiled slightly at Su Lin inside. Smiling, he ordered: "Su Lin, you brat, you usually wear T-shirts. I didn't expect that today you wear the suit left by Yanran's father. You really look stylish and look like him back then." Style. You are the leading actor today, so you have to perform well!"
"What? The suit on that boy was left by Qin Zemin. How could Liping give Qin Zemin's relics to a "hairy" kid to wear?" Zhang Yimou looked at Su Lin's suit with jealousy in his eyes.
When Su Lin returned to his home this morning, he originally wanted to change into his own clothes. But then I looked in the mirror and found that I looked quite handsome in a suit. And today I have to shoot a music video, so naturally I have to dress smartly so that I can be on camera. Su Lin graduated from high school and had never bought a suit. The clothes in the cabinet were all ordinary T-shirts and the like.
Therefore, Su Lin simply wore this suit. Although it was a bit hot, the look was indeed quite good. Su Lin was very awesome and coaxed him to wear it, but Qin Yanran and the others didn't buy it at all, and didn't think there was anything special about Su Lin wearing a suit. Just now when Han Xiaoxiao got on the bus for the second time, he even made fun of Su Lin for wearing a suit and leather shoes when he went hiking.
But this time, with Aunt Ping's praise, Su Lin puffed up his chest and said with a smile: "Aunt Ping, a Buddha relies on his gold suit, and a man relies on his clothes! This suit really suits me. It’s because they don’t have any sense of aesthetics and they can’t see the good in it.”
Su Lin glanced at Han Xiaoxiao and said.
"Su Lin, you're just like that. It doesn't matter what clothes you wear. Hee hee..."
Han Xiaoxiao retorted unconvinced.
Several people were chatting, but Zhang Yimou in front became very uncomfortable. He also felt that Fang Liping's attitude towards Su Lin was not generally kind and intimate, and she actually put on Su Lin all the suits left by Qin Zemin. (To be continued...)
