Chapter 19 Superfluous
Mr. Han was all smiles.
He is not a vain person, but when he sees the envious expressions on everyone's faces, he still feels a little proud in his heart.
He spent a lot of effort to take this picture of Master Yunlu's original painting.
It seems worth it now.
"The name of this work is "Eagle Perching on a Tree." What do you think after reading it?" Mr. Han asked with a smile.
Someone immediately replied: "This painting follows Master Yunlu's consistent streamlined painting style, with distinctive features. There are only a few strokes, but people can tell at a glance that this is an eagle and this is a tree."
Mr. Han nodded: "Most paintings only focus on form but lose their spirit. Master Yunlu's works have both form and spirit. This is why it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate them."
Everyone expressed their agreement.
Then several more people expressed their opinions.
Zhu Rong also thought for a moment and then said: "I think this painting actually embodies a state of mind of Master Yunlu."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Everyone came with interest.
Zhu Rong cleared his throat and said:
"Look at this tree. Although there is not much writing on it, it seems to be a shadow, representing the current predicament."
"Looking at this eagle, it looks like it's perched on a tree, but it's not. It should express helplessness."
"Is there any eagle that doesn't want to fly high? But it has no choice, so it is forced to land on the treetops. This is a kind of helplessness."
"Then, here comes the key point. There is a red mark on the head of this eagle, which is in sharp contrast with the gray tone of the entire painting. What does it mean?"
"It shows that this eagle is unwilling to give in. It is eager to fly into the blue sky again."
"So my final conclusion is that what this painting reflects is the current situation of Master Yunlu. This should be the work of Master Yunlu during the lowest period of his life."
After Zhu Rong finished speaking, the audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into warm applause.
The explanation is very accurate.
It’s like a roundworm in Master Yunlu’s belly!
Mr. Han was also full of praise and said: "If Master Yunlu hears your analysis, he will definitely regard you as a confidant."
Then he looked at Zhu Hongyuan again and said with a smile: "Old Zhu, your son is really better than his master!"
Zhu Hongyuan said proudly: "Haha, I have already said that this boy has a future, and it is best for me to cultivate him. I have instilled a lot of calligraphy and painting knowledge into him since he was a child."
He is really not humble at all.
There were constant compliments around him, and even Lu Yun couldn't help but applaud Zhu Rong.
I didn't expect so much when I drew this painting, but you were able to analyze it. What a talent.
Zhu Rong couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard the compliments from the seniors around him. He suddenly glanced at Liu Yan'er and said, "I wonder what Miss Liu thinks of this painting?"
Zhu Rong showed hostility from the moment Liu Yan'er entered the house, because he felt that Liu Yan'er was not worthy of being here at all.
A promiscuous woman who knows nothing about calligraphy and painting.
Zhu Rong asked the question deliberately because he wanted to see Liu Yan'er make a fool of herself.
Everyone's eyes instantly moved to Liu Yan'er.
Mr. Han smiled and encouraged: "It's okay, Miss Liu. There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. It doesn't hurt to express your feelings. Let's communicate."
Liu Yan'er nodded and said: "I am also a loyal fan of Master Yunlu, so I am very happy to see this painting today. This painting is indeed Master Yunlu's consistent painting style..."
"Don't talk nonsense, just get to the point."
Zhu Rong interrupted impatiently: "Someone has already talked about the characteristics of painting style before. You don't need to repeat it."
"Xiao Zhu, don't be anxious, let Miss Liu finish speaking first!" Mr. Han said.
Because Zhu Rong performed well just now, Mr. Han had a good impression of him, so he directly called him Xiao Zhu.
Even though Zhu Rong's interruption was very rude, Mr. Han did not reprimand him.
Liu Yan'er frowned, but continued what he just said: "This "Eagle Perching Tree" is overall excellent, but I think the red mark is a failure."
Liu Yaner expressed her thoughts.
She also felt strange in her heart. It was obviously a perfect painting, why did Master Yunlu add an extra touch?
This is not at all like Master Yunlu's past style.
When Lu Yun heard this, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Sister Yaner still understands herself!
Because the red mark was not painted on at all, but the juice that accidentally dripped onto it when I was eating red berries.
However, when everyone around them heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Zhu Hongyuan reprimanded loudly: "You are simply talking nonsense. There is no way that there will be any extra words in Master Yunlu's works."
Everyone also expressed dissatisfaction.
Master Yunlu is their idol and no one is allowed to slander him.
This woman actually dared to say that Master Yunlu was superfluous. Wasn't she looking for scolding?
Zhu Rong sneered and said: "I have already said, how can such a woman know how to paint? Inviting her here is simply to defeat our elegance."
Mr. Han also looked unhappy.
Although he said he wanted everyone to express their opinions, what he really wanted to hear was praise from different angles, not criticism.
Liu Yan'er's comments made Mr. Han very unhappy, and he didn't even give her a good look later.
Liu Yan'er naturally noticed the change in Mr. Han's attitude and was filled with disappointment.
I thought it was really an exchange meeting for calligraphy and painting lovers, but I didn't expect that it was all a group of flattering and flattering people, even Mr. Han was no exception.
You shouldn't come tonight.
Liu Yan'er wanted to leave directly, but Lu Yun pulled her and said, "Wait and see."
Lu Yun has never been one to suffer. These people dare to bully Sister Yan'er like this. How could he be willing to leave just like that?
It seems that it is time to reveal the identity of Master Yunlu.
