Soul Painter

The following is the transcript of the interview:

Little girl: "May I ask if your artistic style is inherited from Master Lu Guoying?"

"No, I created it myself." Gao Fan said, "It can be regarded as creating a school of painting. Of course, it must learn from the strengths of other schools."

How can this seemingly humble words be so proud? The little girl pondered.

"Then... your idol is Master Lu Guoying, right?"

"That's not true. It was Mondrian before, but now..." Gao Fan thought for a while, "Lin Dao should do it at this stage."

"The art idol is Lin Daoqian... I heard the name is a Chinese oil painter?"

"Yes, born 100 years ago, he can be regarded as a master of oil painting of the Devil School." Gao Fan popularized science for the little girl, "He is good at making portraits of gods, and his looks are quite special."

"Devil School..." The little girl had heard of abstraction school, realism school, etc., but she had never heard of the name Devil School, probably something she didn't understand, so she bit the tip of her pen and wrote the name on it.

"Then what did Master Lu Guoying teach you? I heard that he has just returned to China, so he must have given you some advice, so you can gain something in this Biennale, right?" the little girl continued to ask.

"What did Mr. Lu teach me..." Gao Fan thought for a while, the sketch was a reference, but most of them were Gao Fan's self-awareness. If he really learned something from Lu Guoying, Gao Fan immediately nodded and said: " curse."

ha? The little girl didn't react, she said, "What?"

"Curse people, Mr. Lu is very ruthless in swearing. He is definitely an expert of my generation. I have learned his half-successful ability, and I am already half-deadly angry." Gao Fan said seriously, with a look of admiration, "If Mr. Lu didn't have such a mouth , his status in the painting world may have to be halved."

This must not be written... The little girl frowned, this interview subject is so tricky.

"Then... I heard that your painting sold for 30,000 US dollars." The little girl tried her best to bring the topic back on track. "As a college student, you must be very proud."

"It's okay." Gao Fan scratched his face. He didn't have much concept of money. He had enough food and drink to survive starvation, and he still had money to buy pictures and dyes. The value of future works, thirty thousand dollars is not much."

"You are very confident about your future." The little girl felt that she finally got something valuable, so she laughed, "What kind of painter do you think you can become in the future? I see that on the Hurun Art List, some A painting by an oil painter can sell for tens of millions.”

"It's hard to say." Gao Fan thought seriously, "How much my works can sell depends on how long I can live. During my lifetime, I probably can't keep up with Van Gogh. After I die, I will surpass him."

"Van Gogh? I know, but how much does one of his works sell for?" the little girl asked.

"The average price is about US$100 million." Gao Fan said.

The little girl looked at Gao Fan, her eyes gradually showed confusion, she was probably asking herself, who am I, who is he, and what am I doing here?

...

Early the next morning.

Gao Fan cheerfully held the "Pengcheng Metropolis Daily". Yesterday's interview should be published in the newspaper today.

This is Gao Fan's first time in a newspaper.

According to the star's route, Gao Fan has officially 'debuted'.

One edition, two editions, three editions... I flipped through several editions and didn't see my name. Finally, on the eighth edition, in the comprehensive report on the Biennale, Gao Fan saw that at the bottom, there was a block of tofu titled " Lu Guoying's disciples made their debut, and the Biennale shines brilliantly".

The content introduced the school Gao Fan belongs to, and the works exhibited in the Biennale, of course, did not use the name "Maggots Surge", but only used "his works" to refer to it, which was successfully acquired by the international gallery PACE at a price of 3 Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

"... Regarding the achievements of this exhibition, Gao Fan said that it is inseparable from the teachings of Master Lu Guoying. He is confident to inherit the mantle of the master and become an excellent oil painter."

All the conversations between the two were condensed into this sentence.

The content is right, but the words are wrong everywhere.

"Little girl film, you missed a wonderful report that can make yourself remembered by the art world."

Gao Fan clicked his tongue, but he didn't mind. Anyone who didn't value him would be regarded as a loss by Gao Fan. He was so confident. If there was no system, Gao Fan felt that he might become another Fang Jianbin... No Yes, as long as he has this kind of self-knowledge, Gao Fan will not become Fang Jianbin.

Received the newspaper.

Gao Fan is going to take root in the Biennale again.

This is the eighth day of the Biennale, and Gao Fan feels that there is not much 'nutrition' he can absorb, but it is still worth nostalgic for a while.

When I passed the front desk of the hotel, I was suddenly stopped by the waiter.

"Mr. Gao Fan? Someone asked me to give you something."

A box was handed over to Gao Fan. Gao Fan opened it strangely and saw one of the badges.

The size of the palm of your hand, with gold letters on a black background, with the three letters 'STK' on it.

There is also a note inside, which reads: "Mr. Painter, welcome to join STK."

There is also a note at the back with a phone number written on it, which should be Gao Fan's exclusive communication code in STK, like the one Lu Zhi once owned.

And 'Painter' should be the code name assigned by STK to Gao Fan, just like Lu Zhi's 'Immortal Cat'.

Gao Fan turned around and came to the front desk, handed the box back to the front desk clerk, and said, "I refuse the visa."

"Sorry, sir, I'm not a courier, so I can't provide visa refusal service. I see there is a phone number behind it, or can you call and ask?" the front desk clerk said very apologetically.

Um?

Gao Fan raised his eyebrows, and casually threw the box into the trash can beside him.

For STK, Gao Fan should say that he has both good and bad feelings.

The favor comes from investigators such as Henry Guo and Lu Zhi who bravely fought against the devil.

The resentment comes from Gao Fan's natural unwillingness to be restrained. Joining some organization and taking on some responsibilities, to Gao Fan, it's like carrying a shackle on his back, which is very uncomfortable.

As for the journey to the abyss... Although it is full of dangers, it is quite interesting after the aftertaste.

Especially the huge "Genesis of the Devil". If you are lucky, the abyss of the old Lin family house is still in the world. The harvest at the exhibition will be even greater.

Of course, not every pollution incident has a painter named by Gao Fan as a master of the Devil School.

But Gao Fan believes that the inspiration he can draw should all come from things related to great existence, otherwise, what can he do to surpass all other artists in the world?

In short, after throwing the badge of STK into the trash can, Gao Fan continued his journey of learning art appreciation of the Biennale as if there was no such thing.
