Chapter 356
Chen Gongnan was praised by the citizens and immediately satisfied his vanity and could also show his glory to those old painters.
But he didn't expect those old painters to leave directly when they didn't see them.
This made him lose his object of showing off, and he felt a little cold. After waving goodbye to the citizens who watched the painting, Chen Gongnan led a dozen young and middle-aged painters to chase Kong Lao, Lin Fei and others.
After catching up with Kong Lao and others, Chen Gongnan said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that these citizens were so enthusiastic that they almost delayed watching the exhibition with everyone."
Mr. Kong said: "Vice Chairman Chen, you are the number one artist in South China and are so popular. Of course, many people like you. You should communicate more with these fans and don't have to watch the exhibition with us."
Chen Gongnan said with a smile: "See what Mr. Kong said, since we are going to watch the exhibition together, of course we are leaving together."
So everyone walked forward together.
At this time, a long queue appeared in front of him, with three or four hundred people, as if he was watching some painting. It was the place with the largest number of viewers on the entire second floor, so that several staff members in the museum maintained order.
This made all the painters very curious. Whose masterpiece is such a high popularity?
At this time, Cheng Tong, who had been flattering Chen Gongnan, said to Chen Gongnan: "Gong Nan, I heard that you have two paintings selected for the exhibition this time, one is the new work "The Legend of the Mountains", and the other is the old work "The Picture of Hundred Horses".
And there are so many people watching paintings here and so popular. Is the painting exhibited in front of you your "Hundred Horses Picture"?"
The other young and middle-aged painters agreed: "It must be Chen Gongnan's "Hundred Horses Pictures". Only Chen Gongnan's paintings are so popular!"
After hearing these young and strong painters' words, Chen Gongnan felt that the paintings exhibited before must be his proud work "A Hundred Horses Picture".
Chen Gongnan is very confident that his works are very popular.
However, he still pretended to be modest on the surface and said, "Everyone praised it! That was just an old work. It was really because they loved Gong Nan if they could get so many citizens."
As soon as Chen Gongnan's dialect fell, the two citizens who walked in front of him to see the paintings, they couldn't hide their surprise and said, "It's so shocking. This painting is the most beautiful and touching painting I have ever seen!"
When Chen Gongnan heard this, his eyes became even more smiling.
But what the citizens continued to say directly made Chen Gongnan go to hell: "I think this painting "The Old Man and the Suona" is the highest artistic work of this art exhibition. I want to register and vote on it on the official website of the art exhibition!"
The two citizens walked over when they spoke, but Chen Gongnan seemed to be struck by lightning, his face was dull, his face turned blue and red: Isn't it "The Hundred Horses Picture"? Why did it become "The Old Man and the Lock"?
The same dozen young and middle-aged painters who have been flattering Chen Gongnan were stunned for a moment, and one of them even said: "Why isn't Gong Nan's "Hundred Horses Picture"?"
This made Chen Gongnan even more embarrassed. He looked at the person who was talking and could kill people.
The painter who spoke was immediately frightened and closed his mouth, only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing.
Chen Gongnan and more than a dozen young and middle-aged painters can't say that they are embarrassed, but the old painters over there are relaxed and smiles.
"Old Mr. Peng, who did you think this "Old Man and Scream" was painted?" An old painter asked Old Mr. Peng.
Mr. Peng said with a fascination, "I want to know too! If you can get so many people to line up to watch, this person who paints must be a real famous artist."
Mr. Peng's words sounded very harsh to Chen Gongnan, as if he was saying that he was not a real famous artist.
He secretly held a grudge in his heart, but he participated in the art exhibition too many works, nearly hundreds of them, and he couldn't remember which painter's work "The Old Man and the Scream" was.
Just then, Old Kong laughed, and every wrinkle on his face stretched out, which made Old Mr. Peng and other old painters look at him curiously and asked, "Old Kong, why are you laughing at?"
Mr. Kong finally laughed enough and said to Mr. Peng and others with questions on his face: "You are not very curious. Who painted "The Old Man and the Suona"? I will tell you now that this person is far away from the sky and is close to you!"
Mr. Peng and others pointed at Mr. Kong and said, "It turned out that it was you who drew it..."
Mr. Kong waved his hand quickly and said, "It's not me, it was painted by Lin Fei."
As soon as Mr. Kong said this, all the old painters said in surprise: "Ah???..."
Not only were the old painters surprised, but Chen Gongnan and more than a dozen young and middle-aged painters thought they had heard it wrong?
Especially Chen Gongnan, he didn't believe that this was Lin Fei, a student at Huadu University. His paintings were so popular at the art exhibition, even surpassing his own popularity.
So, not far from Chen Gongnan, the staff who were maintaining more and more audience order shouted: "Come here."
The staff immediately came over and asked Chen Gongnan: "What instructions does Deputy Director Chen have?"
Chen Gongnan asked: "What kind of painting is on display before?"
"Return to Deputy Director Chen, the oil painting "The Old Man and the Scream" was exhibited in front. Once it was exhibited, its popularity remained high, and we had to specialize in maintaining order." The staff said.
Chen Gongnan asked: "Who is the author of this painting?"
"Lin Fei, a college student's painting." The staff member replied.
As the staff said Lin Fei's name, all the old painters believed Mr. Kong's words, and their eyes were full of appreciation when they looked at Lin Fei.
It’s not a pity that he is a student of Mr. Kong, who is better than his superiority than his superiority.
However, Chen Gongnan suddenly frowned and said to the staff dissatisfied: "Don't there be regulations on the second floor exhibition hall, only works of first-class painters from the Art Association are allowed to be exhibited?
How could a college student show work? Who asked you to do this?"
The staff did not expect that Chen Gongnan suddenly became so angry, a little nervous and stuttered, "It's... the honorary director who asked us to hang it here."
Chen Gongnan was stunned. This time it was his turn to stutter: "Rong... Honorary Director?"
How could Qian Song Yixue hang Lin Fei’s paintings in such an important exhibition hall on the second floor?
This made Chen Gongnan wonder: Could it be that Qian Song Yixue is really Senior Sister Lin Fei?
"Deputy Director Chen, why did you remove Lin Fei's painting and replace it with your "Hundred Horses Picture"? However, this may not be useful. Even if this "Old Man and Suona" is placed in the exhibition hall on the fifth floor, it will still be full of popularity." Kong Lao said to Chen Gongnan sarcastically.
"You..." Chen Gongnan pointed at Kong Lao so angry that he couldn't speak.
Other old painters looked at Chen Gongnan with contempt, jealousy, and despicable methods.
At this moment, there was a stir in the crowd, and someone said, "The old secretary and Mayor Luo came to visit the exhibition..."
