Soul Painter

mid-April.

The Louvre's demon painting "The Soul of the City of Paris" theme exhibition has officially come to an end.

The 13 city-themed paintings later called "Gauvan's Blue and White Exploration Period" by modern art historians were not sold, but were exchanged for some "urban relics" of Paris.

With the check of Mr. Broker, these exchanges are barely considered "equivalent".

These include some works of art, securities, land wedges, jewelry, luxury cars, and more.

Gao Fan couldn't deny the results of work chosen by the revitalized manager, so he let him work hard.

However, Gao Fan presented the Louvre with a theme painting of 'Blue and BC City'.

It's a venue fee.

Afterwards, Gao Fan inspected the items exchanged by the agent, and found that there were indeed a number of precious cultural relics, such as the original version of the "Letter to the French People" handwritten by Charles de Gaulle.

As a recognized great man in French history.

Gao Fan was very interested in the life of de Gaulle.

If it wasn't for getting the great detective's relic from Han Meimei.

Gao Fan would really try to use this general as a coordinate to describe the city of Paris. .

But now there is information about the legendary detective François Jurgen Vidok, and more importantly, this information was provided by Han Meimei, also known as the 'operator'.

The next day, Han Meimei went to the painter's apartment and brought Detective Vidok's relics and more detailed information.

Gao Fan looked through these materials.

It was found to be more complete than expected.

All kinds of photos, written records, comments from later generations, and even books written by several great writers based on him are all listed one by one, as if he knew what Gao Fan wanted to do.

"Thank you very much~" Gao Fan thanked Han Meimei.

"You are welcome, STK will fully support your work as usual." Han Meimei said.

"Do you know what my job is?" Gao Fan asked curiously.

Han Meimei smiled without saying a word.

"You seem to know, but I don't..." Gao Fan murmured.

Han Meimei continued to remain silent, as there was something deep in her eyes.

Gao Fan was also silent, his gaze was looking out of the window, Paris was sunny today, the time Han Meimei arrived was not in the middle of the night, but in the warm afternoon, Gao Fan's gaze seemed to pass through everything in the world, he saw the bird Butterflies flutter in the sun.

God jumped onto the window sill with a 'meow', waving his paws in the air, as if he was chasing and playing with the butterfly.

"I have reached the boundary of human thought." Gao Fan suddenly said another topic.

"Is it because you became a 'god' when you created pillars in Dongying? More than 100 million beliefs are indeed enough to support your thoughts to reach the 'ultimate'." Han Meimei said.

"Yes, the ultimate." Gao Fan nodded, the word is good, "I met a human sage in the ultimate, his name is Zhuangzi, I guess he possessed the 'traits' beyond the limit of life, but he did not choose to become great Race, so with this gesture, it has been drifting in the boundaries of collective human thought, giving hints to all those who transcend.”

"What did he tell you?" Han Meimei asked.

"I didn't say anything, but he gave me a butterfly." Gao Fan pointed to the butterfly flying in the sun and said, the butterfly was dancing gently beside Han Meimei's ear, "I think it should be a story about the future of mankind." s answer."

Han Meimei looked over, but she didn't see the butterfly, only the black cat stretching its paws in the sunlight.

...

The relics sent by Han Meimei are a pipe, a top hat, a small silver pistol from the great detective Victor, and a large number of life notes, including many cases he experienced, which involved every street in Paris in the 19th century Alley, in these cases, the big detective has experienced all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, which are more exciting than all the detective novels that Gao Fan has read.

The more Gao Fan read, the more he believed that the soul of this great detective must be tough enough.

In addition, Gao Fan naturally guessed that the 'operator' knew what he was doing.

Even when Gao Fan himself was a little confused, the 'operator' and the old version of Lin Senhao knew what Gao Fan did and what kind of results he could get.

That's the case with the pillar of Dongying painting.

This feeling is not very pleasant.

So even if there is only a thin layer of window paper between him and STK, Gao Fan is unwilling to pierce it.

The most important thing right now is to create.

Although he was afraid of STK, Gao Fan finally chose the theme character, the soul coordinate he chose, or the great detective Vidok provided by Han Meimei.

The reason why I only choose one is because Gao Fan has limited colors, and a sufficiently wonderful soul may need a whole soul barnacle to describe. In addition, Gao Fan believes that when it comes to understanding the city of Paris, the French Fifth Republic The pioneer of the city may not be as good as a well-known detective who has solved all kinds of strange cases here.

Now that the creative direction and theme have been decided, Gao Fan and Anna devoted all their energy to the depiction of the life and city of the great detective. In the 82 years of the life of the great detective, 30 years were spent in the city of Paris and various Fighting crime, he is familiar with every dark alley and every hidden corner of Paris.

Now, Anna started to create the urban background with the theme of Paris in this period, and Gao Fan painted the figure of the great detective in this background. This will be a huge painting, although Anna can use the 'infinite Symmetrical flow' painting method, but if the frame area is larger, it can accommodate all the human souls in Paris except the great detective.

In the matter of creation, Gao Fan and Anna have almost reached the point of mutual understanding.

So their creative process is extremely harmonious.

The first is the bottoming.

The process is extremely complicated for Gao Fan and Anna's peak work of the Devil School.

In the bottoming step, you need to use 'world', 'distortion', 'focus', and occasionally Anna will use 'microcosm', 'life', 'enthusiasm', etc. Gao Fan doesn't know when she learned it master skills.

On such a complex and delicate canvas that seems to be the most precise architectural drawing, Gao Fan and Anna will paint precious "Paris Blue" or "Sakura White" on it. In the eyes of the audience, these two colors seem to be used The brushes are applied indiscriminately, but if you use a microscope-level observation tool to observe, you will find that there is also a precisely calculated layering.

Only such a precisely calculated layout and structure can allow the audience to experience the layer upon layer, complex and real urban landscape, including all buildings, streets, environment, scenery, wind and light, sun and sunset, from a kind of blue. Rain and so on, all of these have gone through the most meticulous and meticulous planning.

However, painting Paris in the 20th century is obviously more troublesome than painting Paris in the 21st century. It is not the trouble of the size of the city, but the difficulty of searching for information.

This is also where Anna is confused about Gao Fan's creative ideas. If you only need a picture scroll that can accommodate all the souls of Paris, you can paint Paris in the 21st century. What about the city of Paris in the 20th century?
