Le Baiyi looked surprised, and even Mu Wanying showed a curious expression. On the contrary, Tan Xiu looked a bit surprised after hearing Professor Hu's words.
An architectural design drawing?
Could it be … the one I drew?
"Old Hu, tell me the specifics. How can an architectural design win a prize in the Asian Calligraphy and Painting Competition?" asked Le Baiyi.
"Why can't it be?" Professor Hu said with all seriousness. "You haven't seen that painting, but you will definitely be shocked if you see it with your own eyes. I have a lot of famous friends in the calligraphy and painting world. Even they admire it and feel ashamed of their inferiority. The author of that architectural design drawing has reached the acme of perfection and is exquisite to the extreme. The building painted by him is even more ingenious, as though the majestic aura of the Heavenly Palace has been painted. "
Suddenly!
Professor Hu's eyes lit up. He quickly took out his mobile phone and opened an email. He pulled out a picture from it and handed it to Le Baiyi, saying, "I just remembered that my old friend sent this architectural design drawing to me. Unfortunately, it's just a picture and I haven't seen the real painting. "
Le Baiyi took the mobile phone. After looking at it for a few seconds, his pupils quickly shrunk as disbelief burst out from his eyes. Even if he didn't have a deep understanding of calligraphy and painting, he could still see that this architectural design drawing was extraordinary. The strength of the strokes, the skill, and the charm of the strokes were like dragons and snakes. It was simply a painting of the paradise in his dreams.
What shocked him the most was not these, but the architectural design drawing itself. The building on it looked extremely majestic and extremely shocking. It was a strange style, but it vividly displayed the author's unique ideas.
He dared to say that if anyone could build such a large building according to this architectural design drawing, it would definitely become the most famous landmark building in the country. Not only would it be famous throughout the country, but it would also be famous all over the world.
"I'm convinced. This old man has seen a lot of calligraphy and paintings in his life, and there are no lack of famous works among them. But there is absolutely nothing that can compare with this painting. "
Mu Wanying hadn't seen the drawing yet, but her curiosity was aroused after seeing her teacher's shocked expression. She gently stood up and came to Le Baiyi's side. After her eyes fell on the picture displayed on the mobile screen, her bent waist slightly shook.
"This is …"
Mu Wanying was shocked. She couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't believe that there was someone in this world who could draw such a godly work. She had seen the fragments of the 《Along the River During the Qingming Painting》. She dared to guarantee that even the complete 《Along the River During the Qingming Painting》 could not be compared to this painting.
This painting …
The buildings in the painting should only exist in the heavens. How could they be seen in the mortal world?
Le Baiyi handed the phone to Mu Wanying. The shock on his old face had yet to fade as he sighed, "The person who can draw this painting can definitely be called the Painting God. I don't even dare to imagine how big of a sensation it will cause once the buildings in this painting are really built. "
Professor Hu agreed and said, "Indeed. If the buildings in this painting are really built, I will buy a house in the residential area no matter what. "
Le Baiyi said decisively, "I'll go too."
Mu Wanying returned to her seat with her mobile phone. Her eyes were full of shock. She didn't even hear the conversation between Professor Hu and Le Baiyi. Her sensual red lips slightly opened as she whispered, "If the creator of this painting is willing to accept an apprentice, I'll be the first one to worship him."
Her voice was not loud, but Professor Hu, Le Baiyi, and even Tan Xiu could hear it clearly.
Professor Hu and Le Baiyi glanced at each other as a wry smile appeared on their faces. Even they had this kind of impulse!
Tan Xiu reached out his hand to Mu Wanying and said, "Let me have a look."
Mu Wanying came back to her senses and handed the phone to Tan Xiu with a complicated expression. Her eyes were a bit blurred, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Tan Xiu took the phone and looked at the photo on it. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that the architectural design that was praised by Professor Hu, Le Baiyi, and Mu Wanying was really drawn by him.
Subsequently …
He reached out and returned the phone to Professor Hu.
Upon seeing Tan Xiu's appearance, Professor Hu and Le Baiyi secretly despised Tan Xiu. They thought that Tan Xiu didn't know how to appreciate a painting. Therefore, the two of them were even more worried about the competition later.
Soon.
The Lotus Blossom House's waiter came to the box and invited everyone to the exhibition hall downstairs. When the four of them came to the first floor, they saw dozens of guests had gathered around the two tables in the center of the hall. The voices of those people also passed into the ears of the four people.
"How lucky! Today, I can actually see the talent competition between two young talents. Speaking of painting, I also learned it for a period of time in the past. Unfortunately, my talent was not good enough, so I threw it away. Fortunately, I can come to the Lotus Blossom House with Old Wang today, so I can see a good fight between a dragon and a tiger. "
"I've heard of Zhu Xiang's name. He's a very famous young painter with a very high level. But that Tan Xiu, I've never heard of him. He should be an unknown junior! "
"Zhu Xiang is too arrogant. Just now, when he came to the box for a toast, he was completely perfunctory and didn't have a modest attitude at all. Even if this kind of person's painting skills are good, I'm afraid the paintings won't have much charm. But I'm very curious about the young man who will compete with him. "
"The entire Tianjin City is only so big. It's already good enough to have Zhu Xiang. Who else can be more amazing than him? In any case, I think Zhu Xiang will definitely win tonight. "
"I think so too."
"Let's wait and see a good show."
"…"
Listening to these discussions, Tan Xiu secretly smiled wryly inside. He was not famous in Tianjin City, nor was he famous in the painting and calligraphy circle. It was no wonder that everyone was full of confidence in Zhu Xiang.
However!
If you don't have a diamond, don't take up porcelain work.
He was confident in his painting level. Not to mention that his opponent was just Zhu Xiang, even if it was a master painter in the country, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Everyone, make way."
Upon seeing Tan Xiu and the others coming down, Bai Yu immediately called everyone to step back and vacate a large space in the middle. She walked to the front of Tan Xiu and asked, "Are you confident?"
Tan Xiu could see Bai Yu's mind and nodded, "Don't worry!"
Bai Yu nodded and said, "If you're confident, then show 100% of your strength. I'm looking forward to your performance. "
"I won't let you down!" Tan Xiu said.
After that!
He walked to the middle position and lightly glanced at Zhu Xiang, saying, "Show your strength. Don't say that I bullied you if you lose."
Zhu Xiang sneered, "Relying on you? Hmph … Go back to the furnace and practice for a few decades. Maybe you'll be qualified to say that. Whether you're a mule or a horse, pull it out! "
Tan Xiu no longer paid attention to him. He looked at Bai Yu and calmly asked, "What are the requirements of the competition?"
Bai Yu brought out ten men and women from the crowd. Only two of them were young, while the rest were middle-aged or elderly. Bai Yu pointed to the ten people and said, "These ten are our distinguished guests and have their paintings left in this hall. I can guarantee that they will be absolutely fair and just as the judges. In addition, after their evaluation, the other guests will also vote. As for the competition's requirements, it's very simple. You must create a landscape painting related to lotus in half an hour. Brush, paint, and paper are all ready. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded and said.
"I have no problem with that, either," said Zhu Xiang expressionlessly.
Bai Yu nodded. She looked at the time and then said, "It's 8: 28 PM now, and the end time is 8: 58 PM. I declare that the competition begins now. "
Zhu Xiang looked at Tan Xiu with a mocking expression and then quickly grabbed the brush on the table. After thinking for a while, he began to dip the brush in the paint and slowly painted on the flat Xuan paper.
Tan Xiu was different.
The moment Bai Yu announced the start of the competition, he slowly closed his eyes and imagined the painting 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 was different from Zhu Xiang's. Soon, his brush moved like dragons and snakes as a pattern formed on the white Xuan paper.
"I lost!"
Mu Wanying saw Tan Xiu's painting speed and a bitter expression appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was well aware of the essence of painting. Unless one was a top-notch master painter, anyone who dared to paint like dragons and snakes would never be able to paint a truly good painting.
There was a saying in the painting world that meticulously sculpted a slow work. Even if there was no spirit, there was still form.
Mu Wanying had never heard of Tan Xiu's name before, so he shouldn't have any fame in the painting world. He was just an unknown young man. Even if he had some painting skills, it was likely that he couldn't be compared to Zhu Xiang.
Professor Hu secretly shook his head. He looked at Tan Xiu from afar and said with a forced smile, "Mu Wanying, you shouldn't have promised him before. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he's going to lose your Wang Xizhi painting. "
Mu Wanying was a bit distressed, but she could still bear it and slowly said, "If I lose, then I lose! It's just a worldly possession, so I'll find it later. "
"You're quite open-minded." Professor Hu sighed. "However, I can tell that Tan Xiu's identity is not simple. If he loses your painting, I'm afraid he'll think of other ways to make it up to you."
"What's his identity and background?" Mu Wanying was surprised.
"I don't know." Professor Hu shook his head. "But have you ever seen an ordinary student who has just taken the College Entrance Test, yet he can take out 20 million to buy a few stones? Furthermore, he also wants to buy the ores in Old Le's hands, which means that he definitely has more than 20 million. "
"He bought two Wintertide Fluorites and one Star Fragment Stone from you, yet the price is so high?" Mu Wanying was surprised.
"Old Le knows the price of those two ores." Professor Hu nodded. "The price I quoted is the lowest I can bear, and that brat is also very straightforward. He didn't bargain at all and sent someone to transfer the money to me. He just handed the luggage bag to the attendant for safekeeping, as well as the yellow cloth bundle, which contains the things he bought. To be honest, I can't see through his background, nor can I see through him. "
