Rebirth of the Nine-Three Era

Yin Yuan arrived at the Yangcheng Library at nine o'clock the next morning.

Find the organizer staff and sign in.

A long-haired beauty received him: "Are you Yin Yuan? You painted the painting "Beauty in the Snow". Is there a real model for that girl?"

Yin Yuan said: "Of course, these pictures are all real-life paintings."

"The girl is so beautiful, like a fairy. All the viewers who visited the exhibition voted for this painting. The audience score was the highest, and the expert score was also the highest. Congratulations, this painting won the first prize. Your other painting "Country Snow Scene" "Also won No. 3."

Yin Yuan saw her enthusiasm and asked her to learn about the award-winning art exhibition.

"One first prize, three second prizes, five third prizes, and ten potential newcomer awards."

Those who win the first prize will definitely be valued by the Provincial Artists Association, and may even be recommended to join the Artists Association and become a painter in the future.

The leaders of the Artists Association were present when the awards were presented today.

When Yin Yuan signed in, there were several people watching. Among them was a middle-aged man with long hair, a thin face, a white shirt, casual pants, and well-polished leather shoes. After seeing Yin Yuan's signature, he quietly He pulled him aside and said to him: "You are the Yin Yuan painter. Nice to meet you. I am Xu Chirui, a master of art collection. What I value most in this exhibition are your two paintings. Can you do it after the exhibition?" Sell ​​me both of your paintings? I'll buy them at a high price."

He took out an exquisite business card from his pocket.

"You can contact me if you have any paintings in the future."

The names of several galleries are printed on the business card, one of which is still in Hong Kong.

Xu Chiduan, the name Yin Yuan immediately made an impression on him.

In 80, Xu Chiduan went to the Capital Art Museum and spent 20 to buy more than 9000 works of famous painters in the museum's backlog at once and take them home.

At the auction 20 years later, works by several famous artists fetched sky-high prices.

At that time, someone estimated that his collection of 20 paintings worth 9000 yuan was now worth at least 400 billion.

Later, the price skyrocketed, and his wealth doubled.

The famous paintings in his hands at this time were worth at least tens of millions based on the selling price at that time.

He actually fell in love with two of his paintings.

"Hello Uncle Xu, how much do you think these two paintings of mine are worth?"

He also wanted to know if, with his current painting skills, he could support a large family if he did nothing else and simply became a painter and sold paintings.

"Both of your paintings have very high artistic attainments, especially the one called "Beauty in the Snow". It is cleverly conceived and the scenery and characters are quite distinctive. They will definitely be very popular. I will give you a thousand pieces. Two paintings are two thousand, do you think that’s okay?”

Yin Yuan was shocked on the spot.

The two paintings he spent several hours painting were actually worth 2000 yuan. It seems that he can support his family with the paintbrushes in his hands.

If he needs to paint four or five paintings a day, it will not be a problem.

In the future, with the improvement of painting skills, it is possible for a work to sell for [-], or even tens of thousands.

If he becomes a great painter many years later, he can earn tens of thousands per square foot for a painting. He can become a wealthy person just by painting.

Yin Yuan said: "There is no problem selling you the "Country Snow Scene", but my wife likes "Beauty in the Snow" very much. After the painting was completed, she asked me to install the watch and hang it in the bedroom. I sold it , she might be unhappy?”

Xu Chirui said with a smile: "The beautiful woman in the painting is not your wife, right? Painters hope that their works will be bought, and maybe the next work will be more artistically valuable than this one. Let's do that. , I will add one thousand, and I will pay you three thousand for two works. This price is comparable to the price of works by some famous painters."

Yin Yuan took out his mobile phone from his handbag and said, "I'll call my wife and see what he says."

Xu Chirui said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Painter Yin still obeyed his wife's words. He is a good man."

"Respect each other."

Besides, I am not a poor painter waiting for you to spend thousands of dollars to improve my life.

He called his home phone.

Wanting answered the phone.

"There is a big collector here at the art exhibition. He offered me 3000 yuan to buy my two paintings. Do you want to sell them to him?"

Wanting said: "Is it okay to sell the "Countryside Snow Scene" alone? The other painting is of me, so I feel a little inappropriate buying it for others."

"He is mainly interested in this painting. I think it is not impossible to sell it to him. One day I will paint a new one for you and the baby when I have time. If the good work is sold, my reputation will increase in the future. .”

Wanting thought for a moment and said, "It's up to you."

Yin Yuan turned to Xu Chirui and said, "Then I'll sell it to you."

Xu Chirui wanted to give him money on the spot.

Yin Yuan said: "Don't worry, after the exhibition is over, we will hand over the money and the painting."

He handed one of his business cards to the other party.

Xu Chirui saw his business card and said in surprise: "Painter Yin turns out to be a big boss, not a professional painter. If he can have such superb painting skills, he has a bright future."

The other two people next to him originally wanted to talk to Yin Yuan, but when they saw Xu Chirui talking to him, they stood a few meters away and did not come forward.

They all recognize Xu Chirui. In the calligraphy and painting market, everyone knows that he is a big collector and is well-known throughout the country.

After seeing them finish chatting, one of them walked over to Yin Yuan and said to him: "Hello, Comrade Yin Yuan, I am Hu Kewu, the editor-in-chief of "Lingnan Pictorial Magazine". This is how our pictorial magazine has decided to publish a special issue on cutting-edge art exhibitions. , nine award-winning paintings and ten works by potential novice painters. Of course, we will use photography methods to reduce your paintings to be suitable for publication in illustrated magazines. Of course, the magazine will give you an appropriate royalties."

After the magazine is published, a sample issue will be sent to the author.

He told Yin Yuan that if he had no objections, he could just sign a consent form and Yin Yuan would receive a royalties of 500 yuan for two paintings.

It’s not a lot of money, so everyone should be okay with it.

Because it is not an original work, but a reduced version of the painting.

Hu Kewu asked for Yin Yuan's business card and gave Yin Yuan his contact number. He told Yin Yuan that if he had new works in the future, he could take photos and submit them to their illustrated magazine.

It is said that high-level paintings like Yin Yuan’s can be published as long as he submits them.

Although a painting only costs 250 yuan, it is also a good income for others.

Yin Yuan agreed to him.

Another person came over and said: "It's finally my turn. I am Du Yuqiang, the editor of "Yangcheng Fashion" magazine. The purpose of looking for you is to use your painting "Beauty in the Snow" as the cover of the next issue of the magazine."

Du Yuqiang said: "The cover fee is relatively high, you can pay one thousand. It is also the appropriate size after taking the photo with the camera."

Yin Yuan also nodded in agreement, signed a manuscript use approval letter with him, and received a thousand manuscript fees.

They left each other's contact numbers and agreed to submit articles to their magazines regularly in the future.

Du Yuqiang said: "We are a fashion magazine, but we will publish some distinctive paintings in each issue. The royalties for quality paintings will not be lower than what the "Lingnan Pictorial" promised just now."

Yin Yuan promised to submit articles to him from time to time in the future.

At this time the awards began.

The leader of the Artists Association began to speak.

He praised this art exhibition for achieving better results than the previous art exhibition, and the quality of the paintings was more professional than the previous art exhibition.

Among them, Yin Yuan's "Beauty in the Snow" and three other works won the second and third prizes.

Progress was also recognized for the paintings of ten people who won the Novice Potential Award.

Announcing the winners.

The first prize is 5000 bonus, the second prize is 3000 bonus, and the third prize is 1000 bonus.

Potential Award 500 bonus.

Yin Yuan received a bonus of 6000 yuan.

After retrieving the two paintings, Yin Yuan asked two magazines to take pictures of the paintings with cameras.

Then the two paintings were sold to Xu Chirui.

The organizer arranged a dinner for these winners, and two of the most famous painters in Guangdong also came to the hotel.

Li Xiancai, a representative figure of the Lingnan School of Painting, combines traditional painting techniques with realistic techniques of Western painting. He directly renders with ink or color, giving landscapes, flowers and birds a lot of aura.

The landscape parts of Yin and Yuan's two paintings almost follow his techniques.

The 83-year-old painter praised Yin Yuan: "Young people paint well. Not only do you paint landscapes well, but you also paint figures vividly. I think highly of you..."

Yin Yuan repeatedly said: "Teacher Li's paintings have inspired me a lot and I have absorbed a lot of nutrients from them. Every time I look at Teacher Li's paintings, I can find the nutrients I need..."

The subtle flattery was sweeter than honey, and he kept praising Yin Yuan as a rising star in Guangdong painting circles and a future star.

Although Yin Yuan wears the body of a 26-year-old young man, his soul is that of a smooth and secular man in his 50s.

Naturally knows how to flatter others.

Another great painter, professor and dean of the Yangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, president of the Guangdong Art School, dean of the Academy of Painting, vice-chairman of the National Artists Association, executive director, vice-chairman of the Guangdong Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and vice-chairman of the Guangdong Artists Association, Guan Shanjie was also invited Arrive at the hotel.

He gave a toast to everyone and congratulated everyone on their outstanding achievements.

We promise to give you the opportunity to study at the Academy of Fine Arts for two months and be taught by professional famous painters, so that you can make significant progress.

You can establish a mentor-apprentice relationship with a famous painter.

Let everyone sign up for the training course on the spot, which will be held at the Yangcheng Academy of Fine Arts from May 15th to July [-]th.

The entire trip is free, including accommodation and food.

A dozen other people cheered and were extremely happy after hearing this. As a new painter, they were given a chance to reinvent themselves.

No matter how young my painting skills are, after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in February, I have basically steadily entered the ranks of professional painters.

However, Yin Yuan is thinking about whether to attend professional training at the Academy of Fine Arts, or whether his business will be affected by studying there.

After comprehensive consideration, he believed that even if he went to study for two months, it would not have any impact on his business.

The Xiangshan City Commercial Street Project may not be completed within two months just by digging the earthwork.

In the afternoon, he went to the design institute to ask them to design drawings, which would take at least one or two months.

As long as the project leader is recruited, he does not need to worry about specific matters.

Some things can be arranged over the phone.

Of course, this matter must be explained clearly to Huang Guanyuan.

You have to make money, but it's best not to miss the opportunity to become a famous painter. I believe he will support it.

There are already capable people in charge of the decoration company, building materials factory and building materials store. Even if I ignore them for half a year, there won't be any problems.

We are on the right track and everything can proceed step by step.

This matter needs to be explained clearly to his parents and wife. Of course, his family will definitely support him.

Yin Yuan also signed up on the spot.

Secretary Yu Yangguang, who is responsible for the management of the Guangdong Artists Association, found the eight people who won the top three prizes and said: "You can write an application form to join the Artists Association in advance when you come to the Academy of Fine Arts to register for training on May 5th. Several are qualified to join the Provincial Artists Association directly. The other ten potential novices must undergo two months of training and assessment to see if they have made progress before they can write applications."

Yin Yuan also received two award certificates.

Among the eighteen students who can study at the Academy of Fine Arts, eight are women.

Yin Yuan is already married and has children, so he won't think otherwise.

After the dinner, he drove to the Provincial Design Institute.

The person in charge of receiving him was a designer named Sun Zhucai. Their design institute has now begun to link it to performance.

Therefore, if there is a commercial design drawing business, they are very happy to take it on.

Sun Zhucai immediately asked the leader for instructions and took two surveyors and Yin Yuan's car to the newly developed commercial street in Xiangshan City.

Of course, Yin Yuan paid for the drawing design and surveying.

Of course, the design institute must obtain first-hand survey data for the design drawings.

The three of them picked up some changes of clothes, brought professional survey tools and got into Yin Yuan's car.

Sun Zhucai was sitting in the passenger seat.

He saw a circle of scars on Sun Zhucai's left hand and asked curiously: "Designer Sun, your left wrist seems to have been seriously injured?"

A colleague in the back seat said: "Old Sun encountered a disaster the year before last. He and his girlfriend ran to the river embankment in the middle of the night to have a romantic relationship. They encountered two gangsters who wanted to rob us of money and sex. Of course, Old Sun would risk his life to do so. To protect his girlfriend, the two gangsters cut off his left hand from the wrist with a machete on the spot. Fortunately, several city defense teams patrolled and saved their lives. Otherwise, they would have been hacked to death by the gangsters that night. Fortunately, they were sent to the police in time. I went to the hospital to have my limbs reattached, and then I reattached the broken palm..."

Sun Zhucai said: "It should be that this calamity is destined to happen, so I believe in fate now. I have a relatively in-depth study of Buddhism. My wife is also a devout Buddhist under my influence."

Yin Yuan saw a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, and his body exuded a faint scent of sandalwood.

Yin Yuan said angrily: "Today's gangsters are really hateful. After dealing with so many bad guys, they still can't be cleaned up. Have those two robbers been caught later? Such people should be sentenced to life if they are caught."

Sun Zhucai said: "We were really caught last year. The two criminals were only 16 years old and considered minors. Their families took the initiative to pay compensation and were later sentenced to five years and sent to a labor camp."

Yin Yuan took the three of them to the commercial street construction site.

The temporary work shed was being built, and the construction manager said to Sun Zhucai and others: "You can live in it tonight, and you can carry out your work."

Several workers pulled up the isolation iron sheet and were unloading the goods.
