Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Photos of two oil paintings appeared on the big screen at the award ceremony, respectively the works of Jiang Zhe and Teacher Dong.

The voice-over began to introduce the two oil paintings that won the gold medal.

Many people in the audience were taking the opportunity to take photos.

Binhai Academy of Arts sent a vice president, the Research Department, and nominated teachers and students to participate in the award ceremony.

The vice president who led the team first looked at the people from the Research Department, and found that they were all taking pictures, so he looked back at the stage.

At this moment, he finally let go of his anxious heart.

In this national art exhibition, teachers and students from the School of Art who participated in the exhibition received two gold award nominations, and Jiang Zhe was one of them. There were also three silver awards, eight bronze awards and ten excellence awards nominations.

Therefore, the academy sent many people to attend the ceremony. Unfortunately, in the award ceremony of the traditional Chinese painting group, the person who was nominated for the gold medal did not win the gold medal.

Now, Jiang Zhe has won the gold medal, which is the only gold medal won by Binhai Art College in this national art exhibition. This event has a good result.

He looked at several colleagues.

Everyone has a smile on their face.

That's what everyone thinks.

Seeing Jiang Zhe and Teacher Dong standing side by side on the stage, several teachers from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, several teachers from China Academy of Art, and friends who knew Jiang Zhe applauded particularly enthusiastically.

Jiang Zhe also noticed these teachers and friends, but since he was on the stage, he could only respond with his eyes.

Of course, he also saw Liang Gui, Lao Ge and other people who had had conflicts with him before.

Next to Liang Gui sat his assistant. At this moment, he felt mixed emotions.

The assistant looked at Liang Gui with some concern, and saw that he was smiling, but his clapping was a little slow. He sighed silently.

On the other side, Lao Ge simply did not applaud.

His friend saw Lao Ge's reaction and pretended not to see it.

Friends around them all know that Lao Ge and Jiang Zhe have conflicts.

However, analyzing from the perspective of an observer, he increasingly felt that from then on, the two people were no longer the same.

The teacher from the Research Department of Binhai Academy of the Arts stopped pressing the shutter button when he saw Jiang Zhe and Teacher Dong starting to walk towards the lower stage.

"How is it? Have you taken pictures of everything?" asked the vice president.

"It's all filmed."

"Okay, I'll call right away." Because the noise was too loud, the vice president had to stand up and walk out of the venue to report to the college leaders.

When he came to the corridor, he could still hear faint voices, so he called the dean.

"Dean, I have good news for you. Jiang Zhe won the award."

“Is it the gold medal?”

"Yes, it's a gold medal. There are two gold medals in total for the oil painting major."

"Great, any more?"

"The award ceremony is still going on... yeah... ok..."

While the vice president was reporting the good news, Jiang Zhe and Teacher Dong had already walked under the stage.

Teacher Dong did not rush back to his seat. Instead, he walked a few steps to the side, indicating that he wanted to talk to Jiang Zhe alone.

Jiang Zhe followed.

The two stopped in the corner.

Teacher Dong said, "Jiang Zhe, after the meeting, I plan to invite a few friends to get together at lunch time. I would like to invite you and Mr. Wang to go together. Several friends have heard of you, but have not had the opportunity to meet you. Let's take this opportunity to get to know each other."

This idea came up on the spur of the moment. The two of them were competitors before, so just being polite on the surface was enough.

After he won the gold medal, his mind changed a lot. On the stage, he had thought that even if he participated in the National Art Exhibition again, it would be difficult for him to win the gold medal. Jiang Zhe was still young, and it was difficult to estimate his future if he won the gold medal at this time, so he had to maintain a good relationship.

He thought of many possibilities in a short period of time, so he sent out the invitation.

Seeing that Teacher Dong didn't seem to be being polite, Jiang Zhe didn't hesitate: "Teacher Dong, I'm willing to participate. But I need to ask Ms. Wang to see if she has any arrangements. If she is, we can make it."

"Okay, let's go together and make some more friends." Teacher Dong said, "Congratulations again. You are 23 years old this year, right?" In fact, he had already known Jiang Zhe's detailed information. At this time, he was really moved: "It's not easy. The organizing committee and the judges must have recognized your strength and work."

Jiang Zhe hurriedly said a few humble words, and the two finished their conversation and walked towards their seats.

Seeing the two people coming back, people around the seats cast their eyes over.

Those who didn't have the chance to say congratulations just now came over to offer their blessings.

Some people also asked Jiang Zhe to find time to get together today or tomorrow.

Jiang Zhe could only respond one by one. The same was true for Teacher Dong.

The award ceremony continues. Those who have the potential to win the prize continue to wait with anticipation, while those who already know the results have different reactions.

Some people held the fruits of victory in their hands and enjoyed the joy of harvest, while others stood up and left with disappointment and resentment.

Jiang Zhe received a text message from Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen asked him if he could go out and take pictures now.

Jiang Zhe looked around and found that some people had left. The organizing committee had no special arrangements, so he apologized to Teacher Dong and said he had to go out for a while.

Teacher Dong understood what he meant, stood up and whispered, "That's great, I'll go out for a while too."

When Wang Zhen saw Jiang Zhe stand up, he stood up too.

Meng Xi saw this scene and came over.

When Wang Zhen saw Teacher Dong and Jiang Zhe coming over one after another, he first congratulated Teacher Dong.

Teacher Dong thanked him and asked, "Do you want to take a picture?"

When Wang Zhen answered yes, he walked away and said, "Let's arrange it this way. After the show, there will be a lot of people. My assistant also suggested that I take pictures now."

Soon, his assistant came over to join him.

The group left the venue and chose their seats.

Wang Zhen asked Jiang Zhe to take photos at the entrance of the auditorium and the entrance of the exhibition hall.

Meng Xi saw Jiang Zhe taking a group of solo photos and wanted to take a photo with him. "Now, you are a great painter. Let me take a photo with you as a souvenir."

Jiang Zhe said: "We can take pictures, but we don't like to brag about it."

Meng Xi smiled and said, "When you are being modest, can you please stop smiling?"

Jiang Zhe didn't mind the teasing at all, he was just happy.

Wang Zhen took photos of Meng Xi and Jiang Zhe.

Then, Meng Xi took on the role of photographer.

Finally, Wang Zhen’s assistant helped Jiang Zhe and the other two take photos.

After taking a few sets of photos, Jiang Zhe saw the vice-president of his college walking towards him quickly, and he hurried over to greet him.

After arriving in the capital, he met with the teachers and students of the school. Today, he had no chance to talk.

The vice president saw Jiang Zhe running out to take pictures and was afraid that he would leave early, so he chased after him.

He first congratulated Jiang Zhe, and then asked, "Jiang Zhe, you're not in a hurry to leave, are you?"

"Don't go."

"After the ceremony, members of our team will stay here and take a group photo. Especially those of you who have won awards, you should take a group photo." The vice president instructed.

Jiang Zhe naturally agreed.

After the vice president finished speaking, he hurried back to the meeting place.

"Should we go back now?" Meng Xi asked.

Jiang Zhe said, "Let's stay outside for a while. There are too many people inside and it's not convenient to move around."

Wang Zhen was also willing to stay outside for a while. Jiang Zhe told Wang Zhen what Teacher Dong had just said.

Wang Zhen said, "Before, you were competitors. Now that you have won the gold medal, you should sit down and get closer. I will arrange it."

Meng Xi told Jiang Zhe that she also wanted to attend the party. Jiang Zhe and Wang Zhen naturally agreed. At this time, Meng Xi was no longer a student, but a company boss.

Wang Zhen went to arrange the party.

Jiang Zhe called his parents to report the good news.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Yi had been waiting for news on the phone, and when they heard that their son had won the award, their joy was beyond words.

The old couple asked some questions and reminded Jiang Zhe to drink less before ending the call.

Jiang Zhe had just heard his parents discussing which relatives and friends they should tell the news.

He can't control these things, as long as his parents are happy.

Next he called Chen Yan, Professor Qin, Teacher Hu, Sister Liao and others.

Staff and visitors were coming and going around the hall. Many staff members looked at Jiang Zhe when they saw him. Some stopped and waited, wanting to come over to talk to him, but seeing that Jiang Zhe was on the phone, they did not hesitate to come over.

Finally, a staff member saw Jiang Zhe put down the phone and hurried over.

"Teacher Jiang, congratulations on winning the award."

"Thank you." Jiang Zhe looked at the person who came.

After the staff introduced themselves, they asked if they wanted to take a photo with Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe naturally agreed.

When someone starts, others will follow.

When Wang Zhen came back, he happened to see Jiang Zhe taking a group photo with several staff members and visitors.

According to her experience, painters who can receive such treatment are considered great painters.

She looked at Jiang Zhe's young and handsome face, and imagined what heights he would reach in the future.

After the group photo session was over, several staff members said goodbye to Jiang Zhebiao and left.

Meng Xi said: "Look, after winning the gold medal, the treatment is immediately different, great painter."

Without waiting for Jiang Zhe to respond, Wang Zhen walked over and said, "The staff here have come into contact with too many painters and works. They naturally have a scale in their hearts and know what kind of painters have a future.

Their reactions also reflect that your current fame is worthy of the title of a great painter."

Jiang Zhe said: "This title is inappropriate."

According to his own understanding, a great painter should be someone who can carry on the past and establish a new school of thought.

Wang Zhen and Meng Xi both laughed after hearing what Jiang Zhe said.

Wang Zhen said: "The situation you described is too rare. You can be called a master.

Now, some people call themselves masters, and some people like to be called masters, but it is very difficult to truly reach the standard you mentioned. "

Several people stayed outside for a while before returning to the venue.

The atmosphere of this award ceremony was very warm.

When the ceremony was over, many people gathered near the hall to take photos. Some people tried various methods to take photos with the winners.

Because there are limited places suitable for taking photos, everyone can only queue up.

Jiang Zhe and the teachers and students of the college lined up to take photos.

At noon, attend a party.

Wang Zhen and Teacher Dong held a party and invited many friends to attend.

At dinner time, Jiang Zhe had a small gathering with teachers and students from the School of Art.

When the party was over, Wang Zhen arranged a car to take the teachers and students back to their residence. She herself took Jiang Zhe back to rest.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Zhe squinted his eyes.

Wang Zhen asked: "When do you plan to return to Binhai?

Jiang Zhe replied, "Let's talk about it in two days. I want to wait for news from the São Paulo Biennial."

Wang Zhen said: "At a party this afternoon, a teacher talked about what he saw when he visited the Sao Paulo Biennial."

Jiang Zhe was present, and he remembered that the teacher had intentionally mentioned his work.

"Your work has been invited to participate in the theme exhibition. At present, there is not much attention paid to that place in China. Some people pay attention to it because they value the exhibition of our national pavilion there.

Besides, I don’t think the chances of winning are very high, so don’t hold out too much hope.”

Jiang Zhe said, “Let’s wait and see.

If there is no news in the next two days, I will go back to Binhai."

"Since you have time, I'll help you arrange a few meetings."

The ginger man nodded. "Okay, but not too much."

After returning to my residence and washing up, the drunkenness dissipated a little.

Jiang Zhe opened the system page.

The page shows:
You won the gold medal in the oil painting group in this national art exhibition and can receive the task reward.

Reward 1: Double your accumulated honor points within 36 hours.

Reward 2: Fund reward of 100 million yuan. You can choose the channel to withdraw funds or use them cumulatively.

Reward 3: An opportunity to observe a master’s creation.

Jiang Zhe was a little disappointed when he saw that there was no special reward in this reward.

He chose to use the fund reward cumulatively. He was about to receive a dividend and already had nearly 10 million yuan in funds, so he was not short of money.

Opportunities to observe masters’ creations can accumulate.

Finally, click on the Honor Value page.

At this moment, the experience bar on the Honor Value page has been mostly filled. The cursor is getting closer and closer to the end of this stage.

Thinking about tomorrow's arrangements, Jiang Zhe fell asleep.

The next morning.

Jiang Zhe went to the airport to see off his teachers and classmates.

Before going through security check, the vice president told Jiang Zhe.

“At the office meeting this morning, the school has decided to reward the winners.

You have received the most awards. In addition to the scholarship for this semester, you will be awarded the honorary title of outstanding graduate when you graduate. Do you have any personal thoughts on this?"

Jiang Zhe no longer cared about these rewards, but he still appeared very satisfied.

After seeing off everyone from the academy, I had a few days to relax.

Wang Zhen arranged several parties for him. During the parties, Jiang Zhe clearly felt that other people's attitudes towards him had changed again. Some people were obviously trying to curry favor with him.

On the third day after the ceremony, Jiang Zhe attended Mengxi Company's shareholders meeting and employee meeting.

After Meng Xi announced the dividend and bonus distribution plan, the audience burst into applause.

Soon, more than 2.3 million yuan appeared in Jiang Zhe's account.

There was no good news from the São Paulo Biennial, so he thought the matter had come to an end and prepared to return to Binhai.

On the fourth day after the award ceremony, Jiang Zhe packed his luggage and rushed to the airport in the car arranged by Wang Zhen.

While I was looking at the scenery outside the window, Wang Zhen called me. (End of this chapter)
