1690 A masterpiece
“Why did you ask me to endorse a male mask?” Yuan Zhou asked without any change in expression.
“Because head chef Yuan, you are very good-looking. You match the good looks of our products very well!” Mu ou answered without hesitation.
This was really a man with good taste. Yuan Zhou was shocked inwardly. After all, in today’s era, there were fewer and fewer people who were so honest and had such a unique taste.
Yuan Zhou was very touched and then answered,””I’m sorry, I can’t agree to that. “
“Why?” mu ou asked.
“Because I’m just a chef, a very Simple Chef.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Okay, I understand. A chef only does what a chef should do.” Mu ou nodded in understanding.
Without further ado, mu ou bade farewell to Yuan Zhou and left.
Mu ou was indeed an interesting person.
Along the way, people greeted him and Yuan Zhou responded to them. He took a rest for a while.
Before dinner, Wu Haixing rushed down from the slide ladder.
While running, Wu Hai shouted,””I’m done, I’m done. Hahaha, I’ve become a ruler.”
“La-er la, la-er la, la-er lalalalalalalalala, I’m the strongest indeed.”
Most people didn’t know what had happened to Wu Hai. But since he was a black beast, they felt it was normal even if they didn’t know.
In the restaurant, Yuan Zhou naturally heard that as he had sensitive facial features. On second thought, he roughly knew why the Black Beast was so excited.
“The 108 generals” paintings, are they done?” Yuan Zhou guessed.
To use oil painting to draw the 108 generals with Chinese characteristics, to put it bluntly, this kind of combination sounded a little out of place.
However, the person who painted this painting was Wu Hai. It hadn’t been long since he went up to the “sky” last time, but he had already finished painting it?
“We’ll know whether it’s true or not at dinner. ” Yuan Zhou thought to himself and continued to prepare the ingredients.
During the dinner time, Wu Hai was in the first batch of customers as usual. The only difference was that the girl who had confessed her love to Wu Hai came again tonight. Her intention for the Wu beast was so obvious that everyone in the restaurant knew it.
Anyway, the way the girl looked at Wu Hai was that both her eyes were shining.
However, ever since her first confession failed, the girl seemed to have restrained herself a lot.
It was obvious that the Black Beast was in a very good mood today. In terms of appetite, it had eaten a third more than usual for dinner.
After the table of delicacies was finished, the Black Beast threw down a sentence, “I’m done with my painting. Business hours will be over soon. I’m here to take a look.”
After saying that, Wu Shou left. He wouldn’t take up Yuan Zhou’s time during business hours.
Yuan Zhou’s guess was right. At the same time, he was very curious about the latest works of the Black Beast. However, he had to suppress his curiosity for the time being as he couldn’t be distracted while cooking.
“You must come back for a meal when you get your salary next month.”
“It’s enough to eat it two or three times a year. You’ll be paid next month … Don’t tell me you want to eat it once a month?”
They were a couple who were working hard in Chengdu.
“Ah, I’m so envious.”
“What are you envious of?”
“Why is boss Yuan opening a restaurant in Chengdu? Why don’t you open it in our place?”
As for the people who said this, it was two little Sisters who came to Shanghai for a tour.
While the customers were discussing quietly after dinner, the opening hours for dinner ended. Su Ruoyan began to clean up, and Mao Ye also came to change shifts and help.
During this period, Yuan Zhou went to Wu Hai’s doghouse after washing up again.
As for why it was called a dog’s kennel, there was no need to elaborate on this topic. Anyway, as soon as Yuan Zhou arrived, Wu Hai rushed up to him.
He didn’t know why, but when Wu Hai ran and jumped, he looked very much like a Husky. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was sometimes really afraid that Wu Hai would do a classic Husky face break.
“Yuan Zhou, come and have a look. This is my work.” Under Wu Hai’s guidance, Yuan Zhou saw the masterpiece in the inner room.
The word “masterpiece” had two meanings. The first was the size of 349 x 197 cm, which was 3.5 meters long and about 2 meters wide.
Luckily, Wu Hai’s room was big. Otherwise, it would be really crowded.
Another meaning was that the content of the painting … Yuan Zhou didn’t really know much about paintings, but the work in front of him could really be described as magnificent.
In the picture was the image of the lake and the Liangshan in Wu Hai’s heart. 100 Danba generals lived in it. The prototype of each character was Yuan Zhou’s statue. If they were put together, they could see the connection at first glance.
With so many people, even if it was a three-meter masterpiece, it was impossible to finish drawing them from a close range. Therefore, Wu Hai often used the long and middle scenes. But even so, he could clearly distinguish who each person was.
For example, there was Yan Qing who leaped onto the stage, Qin Ming who fought against Huyan Zhuo, and Dong Ping, the double spear general who was lured deep into the enemy’s trap.
At first glance, Yuan Zhou’s only impression was that Jian Jia didn’t draw a picture of Water Margin, but told a story of water Margin.
“How is it, how is it?” Wu Hai began to narrate,”many people have painted such large-scale group portrait oil paintings before. However, I have studied them for a long time before. The size of their works are not suitable. That was until I saw master Xu Beihong’s Tianheng five hundred Warriors.”
“Western oil paintings mostly use clothes and appearance to express one’s identity. Since the stories in water Margin are known to the world, we can use actions. For example, the monk pulling out the Willow upside down, everyone knows that it’s Lu Zhishen. This is something unique to us.”
“It’s not limited to the location. I can combine all the locations of the stories into one place. For example, the back mountain beside the vegetable garden of Xiangguo Temple. Of course, this combination is very difficult. After all, it’s not the same place. It’s easy to break apart. I thought about it for many days before I overcame this problem.”
The more Wu Hai spoke, the more excited and confident he became,””Look at the lake and the mountains. The lake is the lake, so I use the water as the axis of my painting. Oh right, I forgot to mention that I like to use two axis in my painting, one virtual and one real.”
“In this way, all the locations will be unified. Like the light of Rembrandt, the blue of Van Gogh, and the color of tixiang, the water flow is the best choice to integrate these locations.”
“Water is as good as water, and water is good for all things. This is what the ancients said. Sometimes, the wisdom of the ancients is really amazing.”
“With a familiar story as the skeleton, and everything else as the flesh and blood, I created this painting!” Wu Hai made a conclusion in the end.
Although he didn’t understand what Wu Hai was talking about, he felt that it was really awesome.
However, just as Wu Hai had said, Yuan Zhou indeed didn’t feel the painting was torn apart at all when he looked at it carefully. Instead, there was an unusual harmony.
“Very good, very good.” “What’s the name of the painting?”Yuan Zhou nodded and asked.
This question has us, the crow beasts, in mind. He only cares about the painting and hasn’t come up with a name yet.
“Why don’t you give me one?” Wu Hai scratched his head and said.
“You’ve found the right person. In the naming world, I don’t have any opponents. ” Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and then said his name under Wu Hai’s expectant gaze,””The huazhang river bank painting.”
“Huazhang Water Bank painting, this name is really good.” The Black Beast repeated it several times and then stroked his small beard in satisfaction. “Let’s use this painting of mine and your statue to launch it together. At that time, the number one and number two signboards of our Taoxi road will join forces. Who can be our opponent?”
