"I can see that they are all excellent works." Xiao Wanqing nodded, then walked over to the painting and said, "Teacher Tang, I think this painting of a beauty is very beautiful. The artistry is not bad. It's a pity that it wasn't selected into the top three."
After all, she was a smart woman. Instead of questioning the other party, she regretted the fate of the work.
Tang Boyang looked up at the painting with admiration, sighed, and said with regret: "It's a pity, it was originally... well, it's nothing..."
They heard the hidden meaning in these words, and Xiao Wanqing whispered, "Teacher Tang, is there any story behind this painting? Although I haven't painted for a long time, I can see that this painting is not inferior to the "Mountain Ghost"."
Tang Boyang spent the whole day arguing for this painting and was very dissatisfied with Shan Zhentian. He even wondered if there was something fishy going on between him and the first place winner.
The "Miao Bi Sheng Hua Cup" was such a great place before, but now it has been turned into a mess by him. It has become his one-man show and the place where he selects his students.
Moreover, the works that were eliminated were finally judged based on the fact that "the organizing committee unanimously agreed that the work was this or that." This way, the losers had no choice but to realize that they were indeed not good enough, and only then would all the judges unanimously eliminate them.
When Xiao Wanqing brought this up, Tang Boyang was not afraid to vent the anger he had been holding in his heart.
Tang Boyang: "It's hard for me to say about Wu school paintings, but people from the Wu school said this painting failed to meet the standards and was eliminated."
Xiao Wanqing: "Wu School? Who is that? He doesn't even like this painting. That's not right. This painter's painting style is typical of the Wu School, and he's considered one of the best in the Wu School. His painting skills and materials are very sophisticated. Yet, this painting didn't even catch the eye of the Wu School judges. Tsk tsk tsk... Is that judge Wu Daozi?"
"You..." Tang Boyang was helpless when he saw that Xiao Wanqing was serious and brought up the founder of Wu style of painting, 'Wu Daozi'.
Xiao Wanqing took the opportunity to ask, "Teacher Tang, is there something fishy going on here?"
"There's nothing fishy about it. There's nothing fishy about it," Tang Boyang frowned, not wanting to say more. "Wanqing, don't think too much. You guys continue shopping. The auction is about to start. I'm going to be busy. Wanqing, call me more when you have time."
baimengshu.
"Okay." Xiao Wanqing smiled as she sent Tang Boyang away. Her expression immediately darkened as she said to the three children, "If it was someone else's painting school who made a mistake, it would be fine. But Teacher Tang said that the judges from the Wu School thought Su Ran's painting failed. Ha, isn't that a joke? There must be something fishy going on here. They're trying to suppress Su Ran."
Upon hearing this, the sisters couldn't sit still anymore. They had always been the ones bullying Su Ran, so how could it be the turn of outsiders to bully her?
They knew Su Ran's character well. If he received the notice that 'the jury has always believed that the award criteria have not been met', Su Ran would be disappointed for a while, but then he would not care and would not worry about the jury's selection criteria, because Su Ran was not an art student. If he really wanted to make a difference in the painting world, with his talent, painting skills and background, he would not need this kind of selection competition to make his debut.
Of course, the four sisters didn't know why Su Ran participated in this competition, but they thought it was in the name of the school and should be for the glory of their alma mater. Now that he was suppressed, the sisters were very angry and had to stand up for their brother.
Xiao Wanqing went to get a flyer for the "Miao Bi Sheng Hua Cup," which contained detailed information about the "Miao Bi Sheng Hua Cup" and the current judging panel. They also saw the first person the judging panel had chosen—Shan Zhentian.
Liu Jinyu was puzzled: "Shan Zhentian?"
Xiao Wanqing: "He is not..."
Among the group of girlfriends, only Xiao Wanqing and Liu Jinyu knew about Su Ran and Shan Weizi. The other two didn't know. They only knew from the painting that Shan Zhentian was a famous painter.
Liu Jinyu: "He seems to be from the Wu school, right?"
Xiao Wanqing: "Hmm! Dan Zhentian is the only one from the Wu faction on this judging panel. I can't understand how he could possibly target Su Ran."
I was very confused.
The relationship between the two, as well as Su Ran's painting skills, shouldn't be the case.
As he was speaking, a tall, middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit came over from the other side of the corridor. He looked very high-spirited and was being addressed by the people around him as "Teacher Shan". This man was Shan Zhentian.
Very proud and a winner in life.
Shan Zhentian walked past the four little ones, glanced at them, slowed down his pace a little, and his gaze stayed on Su Ran's painting, the woman standing on the top of Lingjian Mountain. Seeing the person in the painting looking at him with bitter tears and a smile in her eyes, Shan Zhentian was touched for a second, then put on a smile again, and walked towards the auction hall chatting and laughing with the people around him, preparing for the upcoming auction.
"Teacher Shan, please stay."
At this time, Xiao Wanqing called Shan Zhentian.
Shan Zhentian stopped and turned back, looking at the little girl in front of him, and said politely, "Ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?"
Xiao Wanqing nodded and said gently, "I just came here from the art exhibition and saw this painting of a beauty. I heard someone say that the painting style belongs to the Wu School. Teacher Shan, you are a recognized master of the Wu School. I have also studied many Wu school paintings. When I saw this rejected painting of a beauty, I was a little confused about what was wrong. So I have been confused for a long time, so I dared to ask Teacher Shan for help to clarify my doubts. We can also learn how to identify Wu school paintings and improve our appreciation level."
Xiao Wanqing spoke very artistically, and what she meant to everyone was to appreciate and learn, rather than question. There were other people around who wanted to know what the difference was, so everyone looked at Shan Zhentian expectantly, waiting for him to explain everything to everyone.
Shan Zhentian is a well-known painter of the Wu School. He is the descendant of the master Shan Changqing, who is a leading figure in the painting world. His attainments in Chinese painting are quite extraordinary. The so-called extraordinary can be most directly illustrated by the most vulgar point that 'the annual auction price starts at one million'. The most direct way for an excellent painter to gain market recognition is - the auction price.
