During class at noon the next day, Yu Yangguang, the Provincial Artists Association, came to the creative class to announce the list of candidates who entered the Provincial Artists Association this time.
Four people won the top three prizes in this exhibition.
Yin Yuan, Cai Lihua, Li Weihong, and Xue Weidong.
Yu Yangguang told them about the Artists Association membership certificate, as well as the obligations and responsibilities after joining the Artists Association.
Tell them that after joining the Provincial Artists Association, they will be eligible for development as long as they hold art exhibitions in the province. The works that receive rankings in art exhibitions in the province will be recommended to national art exhibitions.
If you have been ranked three times or more in national art exhibitions, you will be eligible to join the National Artists Association. In that case, you will already be a famous painter in the country.
"Next month, the Yangcheng Library will hold an exhibition of paintings by "Lingnan School" painters. The theme will be a series of paintings with professional characteristics. I hope you will have your own series of paintings exhibited by then. The winning artist's works will be included in the "New Era New Paintings Exhibition" held by the National Museum two months later..."
Yin Yuan used his free time to draw another picture of miners.
On the waste rock road, two tracks lead all the way to the foot of the mountain. A railcar with more than a dozen mine cars is loaded with waste rock transported from the mining site. The miners are dumping truckloads of waste rock on the waste rock road. .
The mountains in the distance are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mine car driving out of the tunnel several thousand meters deep is also covered in mist.
Behind it is a deep alley.
The green mountain forest and the abrupt waste rocks form a strong contrast.
A few miners had mud stuck to their trousers, with dark faces, thick and strong arms, and resolute eyes.
From his memory, he worked hard to dig out the impressions of the Qishan Mine where he once worked and the workers he met at work, and then presented them vividly.
In his eyes, model workers and ordinary workers are the same.
A person who can be rated as a model worker may be because he gets along well with others, is better at flattering leaders, and knows how to claim credit at work.
Instead of him working harder.
Ordinary workers may be lazy at work, but they also put in sweat and hard work every time they work.
Yin Yuan has personal experience, so he has a particularly good grasp of the characters and environment.
This kind of working environment in the mine is completely painted on the picture, and the perspective effect will definitely be quite shocking.
The colors he uses are mainly gray tones.
After the secretary informed the four of them that they were members of the Provincial Art Association, other students in the creative class were particularly envious of them.
"The four of them have already entered the ranks of professional painters, but we still have to work hard to get there as soon as possible."
There are also two works of Xue Weidong's paintings of women standing on the streets.
He also asked Yin Yuan to give him guidance.
Yin Yuan said: "Brother Xue, I think you should focus on the street girls and draw out their charm. From your two pictures, you really painted these alleys with unique characteristics. Dim street lights are also good."
Xue Weidong felt that his suggestions were quite accurate.
Li Weihong painted a scene of carving workers at work in a furniture factory. A young woman was carving skillfully with a wooden knife.
Hold a chisel in one hand and a hammer in the other.
There are already patterns of petals on the flower board in front of me.
A male carver next to her was casting admiring glances at her.
There was a layer of sawdust on the ground, and turbid dust floated in the air.
Yin Yuan saw her adding color in the corridor outside. He said, "This painting is good. It has an immersive feeling."
Li Weihong knew that he had experience in working in a furniture factory, and he even went to paint flower panels and asked him to give his opinions.
"I think you need to draw the more prominent point of this girl, maybe her eyes, or the shape of her body..."
Li Weihong thought for a while and said, "I can draw her eyes to be particularly lively..."
Yin Yuan thinks the idea is right.
There are objects and people in a picture, and the focus must be on the people. The meaning of the surrounding scenery revolves around people, and people are the soul of it.

After seeing a painting by Cai Lihua called "Selling Aquatic Products at the Farmer's Market", he smiled and said, "Why does this picture you painted look so familiar to me?"
Cai Lihua said: "My brother and sister-in-law opened a stall at the largest farmer's market in Guancheng, specializing in special breeding animals, such as soft-shell turtles, mud snakes, bamboo rats, rabbits, etc..."
In the picture, a girl is lifting a turtle out of a small pond...
There are several mud snakes in an iron cage nearby.
Yin Yuan said: "Is your brother that Boss Cai? I know him. I sold his turtles and mud snakes to him."
Cai Lihua said, "What a coincidence. I never thought that Painter Yin was not only good at painting, but also good at business."
Yin Yuan said in his heart: "Painting is a business hobby, and business is the main business."
In the future, I may be able to find a new path in painting.
Xu Changding asked Yin Yuan: "Brother Yin, the Provincial Go Association wants to invite you to participate. Will you participate?"
His father, Xu Guining, was in charge of the Provincial Go Association and specifically asked his son to seek Yin Yuan's opinion.
"Based on his level of chess skills, if he participates, he can be the vice chairman of the association. No, there is no problem if he can be the president of the association."
"His level is on par with Ma Xiaochun, and he is ranked number one in our province. He will definitely bring honor to our province by participating in competitions in the future. So we must win him over to the association."
Yin Yuan thought for a while: "I may not have much free time to participate in Go competitions, because I have a lot of business and my energy is focused on business."
Liu Changding said: "Joining the Go Association does not need to take up much of your time. Just like my father, he holds a position in the Xiangshan City Sports Center and now works part-time at the Provincial Go Association. He comes here whenever he has something to do. It only takes a month. Just a few times."
"It turns out that your dad works at the Xiangshan City Sports Center. No wonder Jiangming City loses in the friendly Go match between Xiangshan City and Jiangming City every year."
There is a national Go player in Xiangshan City. It would be strange not to lose.
Liu Changding said: "I also participated twice and won the second prize."
He said excitedly: "Don't underestimate this city-level competition. The prize money is very generous. The third prize is 30,000 yuan. The prize money is raised by the business owners in the two cities themselves. The winners are first selected in their respective cities and the final prizes are collected. The top ten will compete."
He immediately realized something: "Brother Yin is from Jiangming City. Will you participate in the competition this year? If you participate, the champion will be you."
Yin Yuan said: "No wonder you are living a good life. It turns out that you can get 30,000 yuan in prize money just by participating in the competition every year, as well as the income from painting. You earn a lot a year, don't you? How much are the second prize and first prize?"
He is more interested in participating in competitions and receiving prize money.
He still understands the principles of business.
Participating in the Artists Association can give me more opportunities to exhibit my paintings, increase my visibility, and let more collectors know about my paintings.
Now a two-foot-square painting can only be sold for 2,000 yuan, but maybe it will be sold for 20,000 yuan or more in a few years.
Liu Changding said: "The winner will receive a bonus of 100,000, and the runner-up will receive a bonus of 50,000."
Yin Yuan wanted to say: Only one hundred thousand?
He did not speak out and did not agree to join the association.
Liu Changding told his father the result of what he told Yin Yuan.
Liu Guining went directly to Li Mincheng and asked Dean Li to help persuade him.
Dean Li asked Yin Yuan to go to his office to play chess during lunch break.
Liu Guining was also there, and Yin Yuan knew his intentions.
"Ma Xiaochun's annual bonus is at least two million, and there are other incomes as well."
Yin Yuan thought to himself: It's only two million. It seems that being a celebrity is not as good as being an entrepreneur.
But he didn't say it.
Li Mincheng inspired him: "Joining the Chess Association will adjust your life for you, just like your study at the Academy of Fine Arts this time, and it will not affect your business. Big bosses usually have effective management, and many things can be solved with just a phone call. Solved. After joining the Chess Association, you can join if you are interested in it. If you really don’t want to join, I won’t force you. To you
There’s nothing to lose…”
Yin Yuan thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
So he nodded in agreement.
Liu Guining went through the membership procedures for him the next day.
So he got to know several members in Jiangming City and Xiangshan City.
Liu Guining said to him: "He Jian, a retired veteran cadre from Jiangming City, has always been enthusiastic about the work of the Chess Association. You can find a time to meet him when you go back in a few days."
Yin Yuan said: "No need, I played a game of chess with him and he recognizes me."
Liu Guining said: "It's best if you know each other. Didn't you open a company and factory in Jiangming? I think you won't suffer if you get close to He Laoduo. In any case, many cadres in Jiangming want to sell He has a bit of face."
Yin Yuan thought he was right.
A week later, Yin Yuan, who was in class, received a phone call.
Mobile phones are now easier to carry. In the past, Big Brother would keep them in his dormitory or in the car during class, but now he carries them with him everywhere.
The phone rang and he walked outside alone to answer it.
"Is this Comrade Yin Yuan? I am Yuan Heping from the Jiangming Federation of Literary and Art Circles."
Yin Yuan heard this name from his uncle Zhang Wensheng.
"Hello, Chairman Yuan, do you have anything to do with me? I'm in class right now, or can I call you after class?"
The lecturer inside was Guan Shanjie, a famous painter from Guangdong Province. He was just talking about his experience in painting and he didn't want to miss it.
Yuan Heping said, "I have something to discuss with you. Please call me when you are free. I'll wait for your call."
He told Yin Yuan his office phone number.
Yin Yuan told himself that his mobile phone had a number.
Yin Yuan went in to listen to Guan Shangui's painting experience, and all the students listened with interest.
Sometimes I would ask him for advice on painting techniques.
In addition to the eighteen students in the creative writing class, most of the in-service teachers in the school were also present.
Even Li Mincheng was sitting at the door of the classroom, listening to his lecture.
Guan Shanjie is a leading figure in the Guangdong Province painting circle.
He lectured for two lectures, but everyone was still satisfied.
Yin Yuan used his break time to call Yuan Heping's office.
"Comrade Yin Yuan, congratulations on becoming a new member of the Provincial Artists Association. You are the pride of Jiangming City Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Jiangming City has never produced a professional painter before. It was our failure to know that you had this talent before. We will change this approach in the future..."
Yin Yuan thought: Does it have anything to do with your Federation of Literary and Art Circles whether I have talent in this area?
What on earth are you trying to say?
"Chairman Yuan, let's make a long story short. I only have ten minutes now. I have a class to attend later."
Yuan Heping said: "I'm sorry, you see, I just can't change this problem. Well, in view of your achievements in painting, Jiangming Federation of Literary and Art Circles has decided to recruit you as a member of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Management Committee, responsible for the work of the Painting Association..."
Yin Yuan said: "Chairman Yuan, I own a company and a factory, and I have several construction projects on hand. I don't have extra time to participate in other projects. You'd better ask someone else to take charge."
Yuan Heping said: "Comrade Zhang Wensheng from the Health Bureau told me about your situation. Don't worry, we won't take up your precious time. We just let you have a name and don't need you to work. Occasionally hold a meeting, sometimes Go to the provincial capital for a meeting on behalf of the city. As a flag, you can influence many young people to work hard..."
Yin Yuan thought: As long as you don't affect my time, everything else is easy to negotiate.
He promised: "In a few days, the academy study will be over. I will go to you for an interview after returning to Jiangming."
Yuan Heping was extremely happy.
During the last few days of study, everyone felt that the two months passed a little too fast and they were a little reluctant to leave.
During this period, Gao Qiwen gave him a ride to Wuyi University on another Saturday.
It seems that his relationship with Cao Haitang has made some progress.
Almost every other day I have to borrow Yin Yuan’s mobile phone.
Every time Cao Haitang called, he had to pay him the phone bill.
Sometimes if Gao Qiwen doesn't call, Cao Haitang will still call.
Yin Yuan found a time to call Dong Huaping, who deliberately pretended not to know about his son.
"Mr. Dong, do you have time to go out for dinner? Our study class will be over in a few days."
Dong Huaping was obviously in a bad mental state. He said, "Xiao Yin, things have not been going well during this period. I am in a bad mood and have physical problems. I have encountered some troubles at home and I don't want to go out to socialize. I'm sorry."
He didn't want to talk about the loss of his son, and it was certainly not easy for Yin Yuan to mention it.
Yang Guangzhi called him and told him: The scar-faced man has been taken to the detention center. The court is prosecuting him. This guy will definitely not escape.
Their criminal police team has reported to their superiors Yin Yuan's key role in capturing the murderer.
The Provincial Public Security Bureau will report his praise and receive certain rewards.
One of the reporters approached him to interview him about the matter.
Yin Yuan told him what happened.
The next day he saw the reporter's article in the Evening News, but his name was anonymized.
The Academy of Fine Arts originally invited the old painter Li Xiancai to come and give two lessons to them, but because the old painter was ill and hospitalized, he did not come.
Everyone said that they were going to the hospital to visit the old painter. When they arrived at the hospital, their family members said that the old man was seriously ill and had to go to the intensive care unit for special treatment.
Everyone could only glance at the old painter through the windowpane.
Yin Yuan accidentally saw Hong Kong collector Xu Chirui talking quietly to Li Xiancai's eldest son on the lawn outside the hospital.
Painter Li is still being treated in the intensive care unit, and the unfilial son is talking to the collector about the sale of the old painter's paintings?
Yin Yuan felt sad for the old painter's life in his heart.
