The late autumn wind was dry and cool, and You Mian wore an extra white plush jacket when he went to the Huajiang Art Museum, just because he was afraid that the temperature would plummet when he returned.
You Mian put on a shoulder bag, loaded a paintbrush case and a sketchbook and ran out of the apartment building.
The afternoon sun is not dazzling, the streets are lined with golden trees, and when the wind blows, the leaves spin and fly into the sky.
Hmmm-
The wheels of the bicycle clattered over the yellow leaves on the ground, and a golden wind splashed.
You Mian's coat was lifted back open, the boy pedaled briskly, his chestnut brown curls were dashing and light, his neck was slender, his shoulders were straight, his bright amber eyes were bent into a gentle smile, and the brittle vitality burst out from it.
You Mian left his bicycle outside the door of the art museum, followed the crowd in line to get the halterneck entry sign, and then walked into the exhibition hall door with a familiar car.
Lin Yuqing was stumped by busy things, and before he came, he told You Mian in advance that he would let the Master Brother A come to see him first.
As soon as You Mian lowered his head and swept his phone, a simple male voice sounded nearby.
"Hello, you should be You Mian, right?"
Liu Hao said with a smile as soon as he lifted his heavy black-framed glasses.
Director Lin told him that he didn't have to be afraid of not finding anyone, and when he looked at it, the most eye-catching one in the crowd was.
Liu Hao thought to himself silently, I didn't expect the curator to not exaggerate at all, he was right, and he really let him find it.
There are only player numbers and pictures of works on the official website of the Star Cup, and there are no photos of the players, I didn't expect You Mian to be so handsome.
You Mian looked up and greeted the man with a chubby body, round and stocky, his eyes narrowed slightly due to myopia, but his eyes were not as gentle as his smile, but with a sharp light, and he looked straightforward and fast-talking.
You Mian nodded and replied: "Yes, it's me, you are..."
You Mian felt that this person was a little familiar, and when Liu Hao finished introducing himself with a smile, he immediately remembered it.
"You are the gold medalist of the Star Cup last year." You Mian remembered that he had watched the opponent's final work, and his eyes widened slightly, and he sincerely admired: "I like the person in the glass very much. ”
Liu Hao was happy, and he seemed to be a little shy when he was praised.
He stretched out his hand to the left, "The heroes don't mention the courage of the past, but now is your era." ”
"Besides, the scale of the Star Cup at that time was far less than it is now." Liu Hao objectively commented: "The popularity of the judges is far worse than now, although my work won the first place at the time, but if it is placed today, there are still too many flaws." ”
The sincerity of Liu Hao's words made You Mian's good impression of him rise a lot.
Liu Hao led You Mian into the side hall on the left, "There are many groups in this afternoon's exhibition, and the sculpture works are mainly concentrated in these two sections... Director Lin asked me to greet you well, and if you have any questions, you can ask me, no need to be polite. ”
Art students will observe the museum for a long time, as short as two or three hours, and as long as they may stay until the museum closes. During this period, if you want to copy and analyze the work, it will take even longer, and the fatigue will increase exponentially.
Lin Yuqing asked Liu Hao to greet You Mian, in order to let the other party help prepare some things when You Mian observed and analyzed.
Usually You Mian sat cross-legged in front of the work he wanted to copy and began to paint, but now he saw Liu Hao walking over with a small wooden stool and saying, "Senior brother, you can take this stool, there is a water dispenser and bread over there." ”
You Mian took the wooden stool and put it behind him with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
The boy's eyes were beautifully curved when he laughed, and his amber eyes were like autumn pools.
Liu Hao was hit by a close-range beauty crit, and he slowed down for a few seconds before coming back to his senses.
The honest man raised his glasses, smiled cheerfully, and said, "I also posted a short video two days ago, I don't know if you saw it." He scratched his head and gasped helplessly, "But it was quickly taken off the shelves." ”
You Mian shook his head, frowned and wondered, "What video?" ”
Liu Hao waved his hand, "I have a side business as an appreciation blogger, and I briefly analyzed your sculpture of the Xingchen Cup preliminary round." ”
You Mian looked at Liu Hao in slight surprise.
Liu Hao made no secret of his love, and praised when he opened his mouth: "Your carving foundation is very good, you have worked hard at a glance, and the presentation structure of the work is also very novel, and the first place is well deserved." ”
"I thought that the level of the Star Cup had declined this year, but I didn't expect to see such a brilliant work in the end."
After receiving such appreciation, You Mian only pursed his lips and smiled restrainedly, "Thank you." ”
Liu Hao has been mixing the Internet all year round, even if the hot search on Bai Lin and You Mian was quickly withdrawn, and now he can't find any remarks about that entry, but he did read it all at the time.
Thinking of the second round of the Star Cup theme competition, Liu Hao immediately understood why You Mian came to Lin Yuqing.
Lin Yuqing, that old-fashioned guy, doesn't go online at all, and probably doesn't know You Mian's complex background.
Liu Hao was worried that the old man would sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, so he tried his best to arrange everything for You Mian.
Liu Hao pointed to the nearby circle and said, "The latest works are all placed here, if you want to find a more suitable theme, there is an electronic atlas over there, you can search by name." ”
You Mian raised his eyes gently, "Thank you, senior brother, for your trouble." ”
Liu Hao sighed, thinking that this boy could be so smart, he didn't dare to continue to think about it, he immediately pulled back to the topic, and asked: "Mother's love theme, do you have a rough setting in mind now?" ”
In front of You Mian is a postmodern-style abstract sculpture that is placed in a glass case.
The bright colors softened his gaze slightly, but the words he said were not gentle.
"I don't have a clue." You Mian said truthfully.
Liu Hao thought about it, it was strange that there could be maternal love that became the soul of the work in such complex grievances of wealthy families.
But these words couldn't be said in front of You Mian, so Liu Hao led You Mian to the electronic atlas, and his fingers skillfully retrieved all the sculptures related to family affection in the past five years.
Liu Hao said: "Mother's love does not have to be gentle love, it can also be harsh and harsh. ”
Liu Hao's subordinates scribbled through a series of female sculptures with sharp lines, "Like these..."
You Mian lowered his eyes and pondered, his heart was still blank.
He thought to himself that this kind of anti-genre work can be made, but it is not brilliant, especially in a national event like the Star Cup, it will definitely be drowned in the works of others in the same group.
Liu Hao flipped through the portrait sculptures, "And maternal love doesn't have to be human love, look at this one." ”
Yu Mian discovers that it is a picture of the Earth from the moon.
Liu Hao smiled sideways, "You can diverge your thinking and imagine other carriers of maternal love, don't we often say Mother Earth, Mother Motherland?" It's also okay to extend in these directions. ”
"Or plants and animals, shoots of life, or whatever... No matter how bad the statue is, you can't go wrong with it, after all, your carving details are too much more than the same group, as long as the skin texture can maintain your usual level, you should not be eliminated in the second round. ”
You Mian stepped forward and took the initiative to reach out and flip it over, and Liu Hao took a few steps back slightly when he saw this.
You Mian cruelly said a fact, "But this kind of work is very easy to borrow from each other. ”
Once the subject of the earth and the motherland is larger, the easier it is to resemble, and the easier it is to be labeled as plagiarism.
And the statue of the Virgin is too unremarkable.
You Mian knew that someone was watching him in the shadows, and he couldn't let this tongue go.
Liu Hao stood aside with a slight lift, and he gradually withdrew from the state of being anxious to give the answer just now.
Because Liu Hao found that You Mian was not just troubled because he couldn't make a sculpture with the theme of mother's love, this boy was more troubled because he might not be able to make a sculpture with the first score in the group.
You Mian actually wanted to make the first brilliant work in his most disadvantaged theme.
Liu Hao really observed You Mian at this moment, and stripped away his previous impression of him, Liu Hao sincerely appeared in his heart the four words of fearful in the future.
When he was worried that he would not be able to make a work, You Mian was already depicting what kind of work could be more successful.
Liu Hao felt that he couldn't help much, and standing here would only delay the other party's time, so he smiled seriously and said, "I'm in that office, if you have any questions, you can come to me, and I will stay until the museum closes." ”
You Mian smiled softly, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
As soon as Liu Hao left, You Mian browsed all the works about family affection in the exhibition hall more quickly.
After watching all the portrait sculptures in a round, You Mian's brows became more and more frowned.
Instead of being confined to works about family affection, he resolutely turned to the other sculptures in the gallery and began to draw new inspiration.
The theme of maternal love is not the image of the mother, but the word love.
No matter what form the work is presented, it should make people think of love in the first second they see it.
Love can be harsh, gentle, selfish or selfless.
As soon as his mind opened, You Mian's speed of observing the works in front of him became faster.
The boy walks in front of the tall or delicate glass case with a small bench on his back, and suddenly, he turns a corner and stops in front of the interactive art gallery.
"How do I get this?"
You Mian was originally watching a VR projection, and after hearing the sound, he subconsciously turned his head.
I saw a noble lady in a graceful purple dress standing in front of the interactive sculpture, muttering to herself with a little embarrassment.
You Mian noticed that the other party wanted to turn on the switch of the interactive sand painting work.
Qian Li frowned slightly and stood in front of the sand painting, wondering where the interactive switch was, when he suddenly approached a very good-looking boy.
You Mian leaned over and opened the built-in mechanism simply, and with the sound of the gears in the sand painting turning, Qian Li saw his beautiful amber eyes up close.
"The mechanics of these works are relatively hidden, but they are usually designed in the lower right." You Mian explained softly.
Qian Li looked at him for a few seconds, and then immediately showed a big smile.
The woman stepped forward and grabbed You Mian's hands and said with a smile: "Thank you so much!" What is your name? ”
You Mian was a little frightened by this enthusiastic action, and forcibly restrained the idea of retreating, pursed her lips and said, "You Mian." ”
Qianli sighed, "It just so happens that my son has been away for a while, can you accompany me to visit the exhibition?" ”
The woman's long black hair is coiled behind her head, and her tall eyebrow bones make her more heroic, and she is a person with a very sassy temperament.
You Mian blinked, thinking that he was going to visit the exhibition too, so he nodded and responded, "Yes, sister." ”
Qian Li's eyes widened instantly, and he covered his mouth, "What do you call me?" ”
You Mian was slightly stunned, "Sister." ”
Qian Li was obviously stunned by this beautiful boy's sister, she didn't let go of the hand holding You Mian, and said with a smile: "What is your sister, aunt." ”
The fine lines at the corners of the woman's eyes also reveal a gentle smile.
You Mian was about to call his aunt when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Mom."
You Mian looked at the lady in front of him with a hint of embarrassment.
Pei Huaiji approached with a steady step, and You Mian turned his back to Pei Huaiji's face, which he couldn't see for the time being.
But he smelled the clean breath on Pei Huaiji's body.
The man leaned over slightly and approached You Mian from behind, but the words were said to Qianli in front of him.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
You Mian turned his head sideways, and finally saw the son who had left temporarily in Qianli's mouth just now.
