Chapter 124 Controversy
The fine-brush landscape painting created by Zhong Yue for Zhou Qingyu was adopted as the cover of the new album. Similarly, when this work was posted on Weibo again, it caused a huge response.
In terms of color use in Chinese painting, they basically emphasize complementary and there is no strong conflict like some oil paintings. This has a lot to do with culture. However, Zhong Yue made a big breakthrough in color use this time, which is the strong visual conflict between green and yellow and three colors.
However, in terms of coloring methods, Zhong Yue continued the characteristics of Wang Ximeng's era.
The coloring of Chinese paintings is divided into three types. Before the Song and Yuan dynasties, they were all Hungary lines and heavy coloring, which is Wang Ximeng's painting method. The Chinese paintings produced in this way did not have the meaning of gradual changes in thickness and lightness. The subsequent method of ink and light color continued for thousands of years, which means that the ink rhyme is sufficient and then the color is applied.
Modern painters used the two methods to make the color expressiveness stronger. Wang Ximeng was an ancient man, so he did not know how to use the method of light ink and light color that was extended later. Zhong Yue had not systematically learned Chinese painting, so he also knew how to use light ink and light color. His work was completely colored in the way of filling in the Hungarians, but the selection of colors was different from the ancient aesthetic views.
At first, Zhong Yue didn't care too much about this matter until Huang Youwei called.
Zhong Yue was copying the "Lingfei Jing" and was distracted by a phone call. He frowned and answered the phone, "What's the problem?"
"You can check Weibo, Sister Zhou's."
"Ms. Huang, the two parties to the transaction of the work have reached a deal. Ms. Zhou herself was satisfied before. What else should I do?"
Huang Youwei was silent for a moment, "It's up to you to see if you want to say something, but Sister Zhou said that if you want to speak out, she can help you."
The phone hung up, and Zhong Yue looked confused.
What does it mean?
Why did you become the passive party? You still need Zhou Qingyu's help?
He clicked on Weibo with some curiosity and checked Zhou Qingyu's recent Weibo. The comments on the cover of the newly uploaded work and the comments at the top made him frown.
"I don't know how to use color, layout, and painting methods are low-level. I didn't expect that Ms. Zhou would invite such a painter to design such an important breakthrough album cover."
If it was a daily navy troll online, Zhong Yue would just laugh. Why did he compete with an irrelevant person? But when he clicked on this comment, he found that it was not a single reply, but a large group of people who replied and supported it, a large group of trolls?
Zhong Yue clicked on the person's avatar and saw the introduction below. Member of the Calligraphers and Painters Association and the Chinese painting master You Ming?
Seeing the number of fans of 600,000 or 700,000, Zhong Yue realized that this was not a low-level troll, but a high-level troll led a group of hardcore and loyal fans to comment under Zhou Qingyu. No wonder such comments were topped up.
As the saying goes, "Don't slap people in the face." It is normal for peers to communicate and comment with each other. However, this person named You, who speaks so sarcastically under popular stars, is inevitably suspected of riding on the popularity. It is really a world of wonders. Just like this, it's still a master of Chinese painting? You'll be the one who owns it.
Zhong Yue searched for information about You Ming, but there were no outstanding works. He was just a third-level artist. For art professionals, the country has relevant professional title recognition, artist, third-level artist, second-level and then to first-level. As for masters of Chinese painting, it is not a professional title, just like masters of Chinese studies, it is just a status or title in the minds of the people.
Generally, master-level painters in the art world are very low-key. Apart from enjoying reputation internationally, they basically have no appeal. However, Zhong Yue searched online and found that this third-rate painter has no masterpieces, on the contrary, there are many gossip news. Only such a clown who is keen on fame and fortune can add such shameless title as a master of Chinese painting to his personal profile.
After being disgusted for no reason, Zhong Yue called Zhou Qingyu.
Such big stars are mostly left to Zhong Yue for work communication.
"Hello, Mr. Zhong, is there anything wrong?"
"Please give me the phone number to Miss Zhou. I want to ask something about work."
"Oh, OK."
After a while, Zhou Qingyu's voice came over.
Zhong Yue asked, "What's going on with this You Ming?"
"He's just a ****!"
The assistant on the other end of the phone kept reminding Zhou Qingyu to silence and restrain his emotions.
Zhong Yue asked in confusion: "Why are you?"
"It's okay. Mr. Zhong, I'm out of my composure."
"It's okay. I just want to ask you why he came back to comment on your Weibo?"
Zhou Qingyu said: "I have rejected his invitation before and the album cover he designed for free. I felt that it was not appropriate to show my diligence and so I refused. I didn't expect him to slander Mr. Zhong, your paintings like this. I still trust Mr. Zhong, your strength and paintings very much."
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "It's not just a simple way to get the popularity." He thought that You Ming was just because Zhou Qingyu was very popular, so he borrowed this method to attract bad luck and then achieve the goal of getting the popularity."
"In this way, I will post a Weibo account later. If you follow me, I will send you a private message to you and ask you to forward a Weibo account."
"Ah, Mr. Zhong, you really don't have to vent your anger for me."
Zhong Yue looked at the mountain view outside the window and said slowly: "Now it is a dispute between me and this Master You. I want to ask Miss Zhou to help forward it, if Miss Zhou is willing."
Zhou Qingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhong, please believe me. This is not because I want to use this to hype it up. It is because there is a festival between You Ming and me, which involves your works and insults your reputation, so I will greet you."
"I see."
The assistant next to him was quite rational, "Mr. Zhong, Miss Zhou can help you forward Weibo, but it's just about Weibo content, we will decide whether to forward it."
"Okay, I'll notice."
Zhong Yue hung up the phone. To be honest, Zhong Yue did not think that Zhou Qingyu deliberately invited him to hype. If it was hype, at least he would find an opponent of the same level to make him, the unknown junior, argue with You Ming, which obviously has no highlights.
