Chapter 2118: Racing Against Time
"Oh my god, Old Huang, are you freaking kidding me?"
Before Huang Shansheng could speak, Jiang Ru was already raging!
!!!
Huang Shansheng was shocked!
Damn, is Jiang Ru blind?
Zhang Fan, such a large living person right there.
And he’s only three meters away.
Even with a thousand-degree myopia, you’d know there’s a person there, right?
Immediately, Huang Shansheng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jiang Ru’s eyes.
"Tell me, how many fingers?" Huang Shansheng asked.
"Get lost! Don’t mess with me, I’m in no mood to play!" Jiang Ru roared.
In an instant, Huang Shansheng jumped up and slapped the back of Jiang Ru’s head.
"How can you not see such a large living person? Tell me if there’s someone there or not!" Huang Shansheng was also angry.
Are you not blind? Then why do you say there’s no one?
Do you believe I’ll beat the crap out of you!
"Hmm???"
Jiang Ru looked at Zhang Fan, shocked, completely stunned!
From head to toe, every pore was trembling!
He lifted his hand, pointing at Zhang Fan, asking incredulously, "Old Huang, you’re not kidding, right? You mean this painting was done by Zhang Fan?"
How old is Zhang Fan?
How long has he been at Tsinghua?
How long has he stayed at Tsinghua?
Are you telling me the person who painted this work, full of charm and artistic conception, is Zhang Fan?
How is that possible! How is that possible!
Even I can’t paint like this.
A painting of this level, you could say, no one at Tsinghua could achieve it.
Moreover, in the entire traditional painting world, few could paint like this.
What does "few" mean?
That’s referring to the top tier of Huaxia’s painters.
And you’re saying this immature kid painted it?
Are you mocking me for being brainless?
"What? Don’t believe it? Let me tell you, this painting was done by my apprentice in under a minute. Surprised? Amazed? Want to punch someone? Hahaha!" Huang Shansheng laughed loudly.
Seeing Jiang Ru’s shocked expression, he felt absolutely thrilled.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ru staggered, sitting down heavily on the ground.
"What did you say? Under a minute?" Jiang Ru’s face was utterly astonished.
Under a minute?
That’s impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"Haha! Believe it or not, I’m going to see what my precious apprentice is up to." Huang Shansheng didn’t care about Jiang Ru.
At this moment, every pore in his body was relaxed.
This prodigy, this is his apprentice.
With just this skill, if it gets out in the traditional painting circle, it’ll definitely stir up a level twelve storm!
The Royal Music Academy’s music festival is nothing in comparison!
My apprentice’s talent in traditional painting is unparalleled!
At this moment, all the resentment Huang Shansheng had towards Zhang Fan had vanished, and his eyes were shining with excitement!
These fools like Jiang Ru dare to show off their apprentices in front of him!
Humph, now it’s time to smack them right in the face.
In fact, right now, Huang Shansheng really wanted to call those high-and-mighty bastards from the academy here.
To personally witness how strong his disciple Huang Shansheng is!
And at this moment, Zhang Fan had prepared the paint!
Oil painting is completely different from traditional painting.
Because oil painting focuses on resemblance!
This means the paint for oil paintings can’t be carelessly handled.
Unlike traditional painting, which focuses on capturing the essence!
As long as the colors aren’t jarring, it doesn’t matter what you use!
Looking at what Zhang Fan had, Huang Shansheng’s eyes popped wide open again.
"Damn, you’re going to paint an oil painting?"
Huang Shansheng was dumbfounded!
Oil painting and traditional painting are two completely different concepts.
Whether in philosophy or technique, they’re radically different.
For a painter, it’s taboo to dabble in both!
Especially traditional painting and oil painting!
Because if you do both, you’re likely to mess yourself up.
No, I can say for sure, you’ll definitely mess up!
"Xiao Fan, stop messing around! Mastering traditional painting is enough. Whether you play with oil painting or not doesn’t matter," Huang Shansheng said.
To put it simply, just with Zhang Fan’s skills in traditional painting, he could already establish himself in Huaxia.
And among the top tier.
After a few more years, with more experience, to say Zhang Fan is the number one in traditional painting wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
At that time, Zhang Fan would be the type of person worshipped by others.
If he messes up with oil painting and screws himself over, he’d be the sinner of Huaxia’s entire traditional painting world.
"If I don’t use oil painting, how can I crush those losers! My goal this time is to eliminate all those losers!" Zhang Fan said softly.
Upon hearing this, Huang Shansheng nearly burst into tears.
Honestly, he really wanted to beat Zhang Fan to death.
With such high achievements in traditional painting, even if all Zhang Fan knew was just this, he’d still be a prominent figure in this academic competition.
What other academic subjects would even compare?
Oh my god, oh my god, why do I suddenly have the urge to beat Zhang Fan to death?
Why is he so determined to ruin himself!
Why must he ruin his own future!
Having this kind of apprentice, it’s really a headache.
And Zhang Fan set up the canvas, took a deep breath, and then began painting.
Seeing this, Jiang Ru also got up from the ground, trembling as he approached Zhang Fan.
He doesn’t believe it, not in a million years would he believe that painting is made by Zhang Fan.
Oil painting...he understands it!
He wants to see what kind of mess Zhang Fan can produce right now.
But the next moment, he was taken aback.
"Do you know anything about oil painting, kid? Why didn’t you start with a sketch!"
Jiang Ru almost jumped up.
It’s common knowledge that no matter who’s painting, they’d start with a sketch!
After all, it outlines the main framework!
Oil painting is time and energy-consuming!
Even the shortest oil painting takes several hours to refine!
Coloring, shading, adjusting colors, it’s all very complex!
And now, Zhang Fan is just starting without any sketch!
Does he even know how to paint an oil painting?
"Time is tight, I need to catch up on my sleep!" Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and said, and the next moment, his hand turned into a blur.
"Hmm, aren’t you in a rush? Why are you painting the whole studio?"
Seeing Zhang Fan’s setup, Jiang Ru exclaimed again.
This guy doesn’t even sketch, and he’s daring to paint such a large-scale oil painting?
Is this a joke?
But in the next moment, his eyes widened.
Because in the time he spaced out, a painter’s easel appeared on the canvas!
Both the tone and lighting were identical to the easel before him!
???
This kid isn’t a novice?
