My art is too advanced.

Chapter 343 The world is the vast Zhou Yue universe! (Seeking monthly votes!!!)
Lin Ning and the others were also surprised to hear this.

hard to imagine.

The person in front of me, as the student council president of the China Academy of Art, one of the top three art academies in the country, is clearly someone with extremely high painting skills.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have reached this status.

He actually seemed to really admire Teacher Zhou?
And he even said he wanted to follow Teacher Zhou?

Lin Ning was still somewhat confused about the reason, simply attributing it to Yue Ge's personal charm.

Brother Yue has a really great personal charm. Basically, everyone who has met him has a very good impression of him.

If the person in front of me wasn't going abroad to study, they probably would have come directly here.

Moreover, the person in front of us must be incredibly powerful, which is almost a given, given that he is a top student from such a prestigious university.

Moreover, those who can gain Professor Zhou's favor are generally not unknown individuals.

Xu Xuan expressed his understanding.

After all, Teacher Zhou's painting skills were really too high, but he did not expect that Teacher Zhou's skills would be so high that even such a person would admire him.

This is the shadow cast by a person's reputation, and it's a real achievement.

He didn't know how the person in front of him knew Teacher Zhou, but it was clear that the two had a deep friendship.

This is actually quite normal. Among those who study art, only a limited number reach the top. It's like architecture; most of the academicians in architecture have had dealings with Professor Zhou.

This is perfectly normal, after all, Professor Zhou is such an authority in this industry, and the same goes for art.

Of course, Professor Zhou may not be as renowned in the field of art as one might imagine.

Reputation is built up gradually; it cannot be achieved overnight.

Moreover, Professor Zhou has not fully delved into this field.

However, Xu Xuan was very willing to believe that as long as Teacher Zhou wanted to, he could do it and occupy a prominent position in this industry.

Of course, this is just his expectation. As for what level Teacher Zhou can actually reach, or what level he has reached now, he cannot make a judgment yet.

Of course, he is at least much stronger than him.

Moreover, Teacher Zhou's potential should be very high.

After all, the first three chapters of Dao Gui already showed how versatile Teacher Zhou is, with a variety of styles that are flexible and varied, and he is almost never limited to one style. This is definitely a very skillful technique for painting.

"I've already told those who are interested to get ready for the interview. You can just go ahead and have the interview. I'll be watching from the sidelines."

"it is good."

Their interviews took place inside the stadium, which also provided a basic platform for temporary drawing.

The interview was very simple; it only required drawing a diagram.

The storyboard has been provided, which means the basic framework has been established. You just need to continue refining it and make the image as complete as possible.

"This is my first time working with comics, but we have an animation major here. They do more than just drawing; they also do a lot of computer graphics, such as special effects."

"I find it very interesting."

"I'll draw one too, but I'm not participating in the interview. I just have a urge to draw."

“Of course we welcome that,” Lin Ning said with a smile. “We also want to see the level of a prestigious institution like the China Academy of Art.”

“I can’t represent the school’s level.” Gao Yingjie also shook his head gently with a smile. “Besides, this is my first time working with comics, and I find these exaggerated expressions very interesting.”

"The expressiveness is also very good; my previous drawings were too flat."

"The art style has only recently started to change a little."

"It's still because some philosophical ideas have entered into painting."

"Oh? What philosophical concept?"

"It's related to Professor Zhou. He was the first to propose this philosophical concept and apply it to architecture. Some of our painters have accepted Professor Zhou's painting philosophy. It's not just a painting philosophy anymore, but it's based on that philosophical concept. They will even hold an art exhibition in a few days. It is actually influenced by Professor Zhou's philosophical thought."

"So, Teacher Zhou has made great contributions to painting. However, there are relatively few abstract paintings these days, because it is still just a budding art form."

Gao Yingjie then added to the simple storyboard.

They only provided some lines, followed by a long text description, which is the plot that this storyboard is meant to convey.

"This plot seems a bit exaggerated."

"And it looks crazy too."

“This is also one of Teacher Zhou’s works…” Xu Xuan said.

In fact, this storyboard was the first task Zhou Yue assigned him for practice.

He used it to test others.

“That’s not surprising.” Gao Yingjie nodded. “Professor Zhou’s works are known for their bizarre nature, but I’ve only seen one of his works, and I couldn’t understand it at all.”

"That is the very first mechanics book. It is said that the group of painters studied it every day and even held seminars."

"Our art academy has just started researching this, and we're already lagging behind others."

Lin Ning, "..."

"Then let's not study it. I have a hard time even reading Yue's mechanics book."

“I also read this book when I was at Imperial College London, and it took me a whole month to finish it.”

Imperial College London...

The top three universities in the world.

Gao Yingjie paused for a moment. It seemed understandable that he couldn't understand it.

But since it's for art, we still need to look at the concepts within it. These concepts are enough to inspire them greatly; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be watching it.

Xu Xuan found it very interesting.

Whether it's those at the China Academy of Art studying Professor Zhou's works, the professors at Ningbo University delving into his textbooks, or even readers reading his novels and comics.

Now he wonders if Professor Zhou has already published a vast amount of works?

So strong.

Moreover, it seems that this world is a giant Zhouyue universe.

It covers almost every aspect Zhou Yue mentioned.

Gao Yingjie remained silent and continued drawing.

But in fact, he drew very quickly and his thinking was very clear. He started drawing after reading the whole plot.

Xu Xuan quickly obtained the artwork.

It was stunning at first glance.

"I think he's better than me." This is Xu Xuan's most honest thought.

Indeed, this piece of work.

He felt it was much better than his own drawing, but actually not by much.
It didn't have the suffocating pressure of Teacher Zhou.

Clearly, in his view...

Teacher Zhou's work should be at the SSS level, while Gao Yingjie's comic is probably at the S+ level.

I am at the S level.

This comparison makes things much clearer.

"Not at all, it's my first time drawing, so I'm probably not very skilled yet," Gao Yingjie said with a modest smile. "If Teacher Zhou were to draw it himself, it would probably be even better." Xu Xuan nodded in complete agreement.

indeed.

Teacher Zhou's drawing is indeed better.

But Teacher Zhou is so busy, how could he possibly have time to draw something like this? So, these people are still indispensable.

I spent a whole day recruiting here and interviewed dozens of people.

Xu Xuan took all these things back to look at them.

He picked out five of them.

"Brother Lin, do you think Teacher Zhou is sure he wants to invest tens of millions to create a comic platform?"

"Is that a lie? Just follow Brother Yue and you'll be a veteran. You can have anything you want."

"I'm not worried about that. I just feel guilty if so many people are hired and there's no future for them."

“It’s good that you have this idea, but you also have to trust Teacher Zhou. Teacher Zhou never gives up halfway through anything. Even if he does give up halfway, these people will still get the money they are entitled to.”

Lin Ning looked at him in surprise.

This person was originally full of ambition. When he was recruiting at Ningbo University, he could say that he hadn't met anyone he thought was good enough. Now that he has recruited a few decent candidates, why does he have this kind of thinking?

"Actually, I don't distrust Teacher Zhou. I just have some doubts about the current comic market. If the people we hire work here for two or three years, they may only know how to draw comics. If the comic market can't absorb so many talents, then these people may become unemployed."

"If the market doesn't work out, and I've forgotten everything I learned in school."

"Since we're going to hire people, I think we need to consider things more carefully."

Lin Ning laughed after hearing this.

"You're quite kind; you even think about these people's future."

"But it is precisely because of these people that we have been able to make the comics market even better."

"Don't worry, I've got everything covered. Brother Yue said he'd share the profits with me, so let's work together to build this market. Right now, these platforms aren't doing so well, but that's because we're not here!"

"us!"

Lin Ning's voice was full of powerful appeal, "Great! Let's expand this market and make this industry better and better."

Xu Xuan also gave a positive response.

"The people we recruited this time basically fit my vision for the comics market, and their drawing skills are all very good."

"With just a little training, they can create a lot of works."

"can."

……

At night.

Looking at the pictures Xu Xuan sent, Zhou Yue said, "They're all pretty good, with great potential, but they still need some nurturing."

"When I have time."

As for the last picture...

It was drawn by Gao Yingjie, and Xu Xuan also noted this point.

“What a beautiful painting.”

"This is still a state of being unfamiliar with the craft. Once you become truly skilled, it's hard to imagine what kind of finished product you'll be able to create."

He clicked his tongue in amazement.

What makes a good work?

What kind of person can be considered to have a talent for painting?
The picture in front of you tells you everything.

This person's talent is truly exceptional, allowing them to create these lines with ease.

Soon, he received some messages from Gao Yingjie.

The two of them actually kept in touch frequently. Zhou Yue would send some of his artwork over, which he drew when he was bored. He only had this one painter friend, so he would send him almost everything he painted so that he could see it.

Then sell it to Old Chen.

However, Gao Yingjie's words were almost devoid of praise or compliments; they were merely objective evaluations, explaining why the painting was good, giving the impression of a chilling calmness.

This time, the message was to invite him to participate in the art exhibition.

He said that their Chinese Academy of Fine Arts is studying his philosophical ideas.

Then apply it to the drawing.

Zhou Yue was speechless after hearing this, but it was normal, since the history of art and the history of architecture are actually quite similar, both having undergone changes from form to spirit.

After all, architecture is, in a sense, also a form of art.

Since it is art, it has its own cycle. For example, literature has various stylistic changes in the "Three Ancient Classics and Seven Classical Novels".

Painting also undergoes transformations through various styles, but each transformation takes a long time. The current deconstructionist thought should still be in its nascent stage.

Take your time, they all have time to explore anyway.

A philosophical concept is gradually emerging, which makes Zhou Yue quite gratified, since someone is now actually able to discover such an abstract thing.

Everything else is a false abstraction, a false avant-garde, but deconstructionism is both abstract and avant-garde for this world.

"I'll definitely be there!"

Zhou Yue gave a direct affirmative reply.

The other side sent me a really cute emoji.

Zhou Yue smiled knowingly.

The two of them have a deep understanding of each other.

At least that's true in painting.

They admire each other, but they don't say it to each other's faces, which makes it seem very ambiguous.

He actually quite liked this feeling, a feeling of finding a kindred spirit.

As for how to operate after they recruit people from the art academy, Zhou Yue has already provided a specific idea. He also has some copyrights, and he thinks these people probably won't start working there anytime soon.

It will definitely take some time to complete some procedures.

The company he works for will definitely not offer a low salary; it will at least be above the standard level.

As for a specific conclusion, let them consider it.

He only needs to concern himself with some complex matters, or rather, matters of general direction.

others.

They don't really need him.

"The comic book company has reserved a spot for me. I'll go there as soon as I get back from studying abroad."

"Really? I'm afraid I can't afford to hire you. It would be a waste of your talent to have such a great artist as you draw comics."

"No, not really. I don't have any future plans, and it won't cause any problems."

“Great! When you come back, I’ll definitely offer you a high salary, the highest possible in the industry.”

"Then I'd be grateful."
