After drinking and eating, Wang Xu went from house to house delivering small gifts and chatting everywhere. Going to Xiangjiang is still a big deal these days. Fortunately, Wang Fei has also been in contact with these neighbors. The mystery of Xiangjiang has faded a lot. Otherwise, I'm afraid Wang Xu will have to spend a lot of time explaining his experiences in Xiangjiang to everyone.

By the time he returned to the small courtyard, it was already a bright moon and a few stars. The imperial capital finally felt cool and comfortable in autumn. Wang Xu felt that this year's air conditioner was bought for nothing. It was finally installed, but he had no chance to use it. .

There was still only one dim street lamp on in the small courtyard, and it was quiet. However, there was a light in Tang Yun's room. Wang Xu was a little curious, but he didn't knock on the door to disturb him. As a girl, it's better not to mess around.

But to Wang Xu's expectation, when he heard the sound of the courtyard door, a man walked out of the room. He is not tall, just over 1.7 meters tall. He is a little thin and has a stern face. He is young but has a bit of beard. He wears a pair of round glasses on the bridge of his nose. He is wearing coarse work clothes and has traces of oil paint all over his body.

"You are the boss here, Brother Wang." The visitor looked at Wang Xu, but his words were not as cold as his expression. Instead, he came forward to say hello warmly.

"I am, do you know me? Who are you?" Wang Xu was a little surprised who this familiar person was and how he could live here.

"My name is Leng Jun. I am a painter from Hubei Province. I came to the imperial capital to participate in an exhibition this time. I ran out of money and couldn't afford to stay in a hotel. A friend introduced me to Brother Wang here who can take in people like us, so I came here. Yes. Thank you for the accommodation." Leng Jun did not feel embarrassed at all to accommodate him. Instead, he introduced himself generously and expressed his gratitude politely.

"Welcome, welcome, you are a friend when you come. This courtyard is originally prepared for those who play art, so you are welcome." Wang Xu was relieved, no wonder he looked so familiar.

Cold, a representative figure of hyperrealism. This person is quite famous on the Internet in later generations, but he is quite controversial in the circle of painters.

But he eventually broke out and won numerous awards. It can be said that he has made great contributions to the success of Chinese classicism and hyper-realism painting schools. It can be said that he has achieved fame and success.

However, he probably hasn't become famous yet, especially since he hasn't painted the portraits that made him successful in the entertainment industry in later generations. At this moment, he should still be thinking about the hyper-realistic painting method of still life.

The profession of painter is one of the hardest to get ahead in the art world. When you are young, you are often very poor. After you have gained enough fame and your works can be sold for some money, you are often older.

However, being a painter is also a profession that attracts bees and butterflies. In this aspect, this circle is completely comparable to the entertainment circle, and the gossips of teachers from major art academies can also fill their studios.

In fact, this is also a common problem in art. Emotional things are particularly easy to arouse empathy. People who have been engaged in art for a long time will naturally have a special temperament. For sensitive members of the opposite sex, this kind of temperament is like throwing hormones directly in the face.

As for painters, they are often not recognized by the public, so they can easily integrate into the lives of ordinary people. They are not like celebrities who have to be secretive, so that kind of temperament is particularly attractive to people nearby. of ordinary people.

So, the result, you know.

"I've seen your paintings." Leng Jun suddenly interrupted Wang Xu's train of thought and said, "A few days ago, when I was helping the little girl who lived here move, I went to your clothing store and saw that painting. The oil painting was really good. It was then that I realized that the second brother Dongsi Wang was actually an excellent painter."

Leng Jun seemed to have suddenly opened up his chatterbox, chatting with Wang Xu about painting, from technique to connotation, from light to color. It can be heard that Leng Jun really likes that painting.

But Wang Xu also got an interesting conclusion from Leng Jun's words, that is, the flaw in the painting that Wang Xu and Wang Fei both felt, that is, the sense of alienation, made Leng Jun interpret another one. kind of meaning.

He felt that in that painting, the painter was detached, observing, ruthless and without desire, with an attitude of scrutiny from a God's perspective.

This allowed him to feel a ruthless sense of detachment when looking at the painting, but it gave the whole work a different kind of charm, which was the combination of the tranquility of the years in the painting and the loneliness and desolation outside the painting. A strong contrast.

That kind of strong contrast gives him an extraordinarily strong appeal, even surpassing the painting itself.

Although, he already knew that the painting was not the original painting, but a copy, and it was a reduced version. But he still firmly believes that this copying work itself is also a masterpiece. The artist could not completely copy the state of mind at that time, but instead formed another artistic conception by chance.

And this artistic conception happened to be more consistent with his own somewhat lonely situation, which gave him an unusual fondness for this copy work.

Leng Jun even believed that this copy work alone was enough to participate in the competition, and it would be easy to win a prize. At least in terms of technique, use of light and shadow, and color clouds, it was better than his own painting.

Hyperrealism is still a very unpopular choice in this era. Postmodernism and abstraction are what major galleries are pursuing now. Here you can see a masterpiece of hyper-realism, and Leng Jun certainly feels like a confidant.

So he looked at that oil painting for an extra long time. If he hadn't known that this was a painter and had seen his still life works that were comparable to photo versions, Tang Yun would have thought of him as a pervert.

The conversation between Wang Xu and Leng Jun lasted for a long time. In the small courtyard, each had a bottle of beer, smoking cigarettes and chatting about painting. It felt like they had met each other late. Wang Xu's choice of hyper-realistic painting is a personal hobby, and of course it is also a way to show off his skills.

But when you really meet someone who knows something, Leng Jun is the first one. Hyperrealism is not simply painting based on photos. Later generations Leng Jun also painted some photos based on photos, especially portraits of some celebrities, but the response was just that, at least in the world of calligraphy and painting, there was no splash at all. Well, not shabby.

Hyperrealism also requires emotional investment, which is more difficult to express than other techniques. For example, if you want to express something obscure, obscure, dark, or dilapidated, it will be easier for you to express your ideas using impressionistic techniques.

But if you want to express the same thing, it will be very difficult to use hyperrealism.

And hyper-realism, how should I put it, Wang Xu also feels that it is a bit too much. In fact, the classical painting method is already very perfect. Hyper-realism is just an improvement that pays more attention to details and light. Isn’t it better? , it’s really a matter of opinion.

The following part has nothing to do with this chapter, it’s just about gossip, so you can skip it if you don’t want to read it.

By the way, a few words here. There are too many rumors in the entertainment industry. For example, Wang Fei is a rock and roll fruit. There are really a lot of things worth discussing.

The author doesn't bother to argue with those who want to believe it. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or make fun of it. The most you can do is not read my book. But there is really no need to go to the comment area to show off how much you know. .

I only talk about what I have experienced and some gossip I heard back then.

The author likes rock music and lived in Wudaokou when he was young. It can be said that he grew up listening to that stuff since he was a child. Many rock bands have seen real people.

The author also liked Wang Fei when he was young, probably in 1993. At that time, Wang Fei and Dou Xian's relationship had been exposed, and their feud with Luan Shu was also known to everyone.

In 1996, the incident of dumping the urinal caused a huge uproar and even affected her career. At that time, several celebrities were vying for the title of queen, but she retired to have children, which in turn made the author add to her understanding of the world. The favor of this woman.

But even at that time, the author had never heard of any story about her sleeping in the rock circle. The paparazzi in Hong Kong at that time were no less powerful than the current Internet revelations. Not to mention they were solid, as long as there was any news, it was all over the place. They could squat in front of the toilet all night just for a photo of Wang Fei. Lord. But at that time, there was no such statement.

The author is also one of the earliest Internet users. He started playing BBS in college and was a webmaster. There is no shortage of gossip about various celebrities. The rock circle is a favorite among college students, but again, in the early days of the rise of the Internet, I had never heard of such a thing.

It was after Wang Fei retired, and even after Wang Fei's sky-high ticket incident, that this statement began to spread more and more widely on the Internet.

Moreover, the word "guoer" had a completely different meaning back then than it does now. At that time, there was no such thing as sleeping with a rock band. Is there such a person at that time? The author doesn’t know. There may be some, but it is definitely not common.

The society at that time was far less open than in the 21st century. At that time, people with casual lifestyles could go to jail directly after being exposed.

In the rock and roll circle back then, to be considered a celebrity, one had to be a celebrity, at least one who was well-known in a small area. You have to be in a relationship with a certain rock star, so when it comes to Guoer and Wang Fei, Zou Xun must be among them. Their name is Jian Guoer, which means they are the best among Guoer.

Ordinary people, those with no reputation, those with insufficient family background, or even those with uncertain connections, are not qualified, okay? At that time, Guoer's premise was a romantic relationship, that is, a boyfriend and girlfriend, a long-term relationship, the kind that everyone knows, and P friends were not included.

There were never any good people in rock music in the 1990s. Fights abounded and people were killed. Do you really think they would allow grass to grow on their heads?

In that era, stars relied on their works rather than their characters. There were many outspoken people. Many things were known to the public, but it did not affect the reputation of their works in the slightest.

As for the argument of flesh and blood, that is not the way of imperial rock. How could imperial rock have such a flavorful translation? This word comes from Groupie, and you will know what it means when you listen to English.
