The Versatile Master Artist

”If an artwork is excellent enough on its own, then any defamation against it is just like a fly being swept away by a horse’s tail; insignificant and not worth mentioning. Beauty itself is the most direct weapon a painter possesses to reach the heart.”

Koizumi Katsuko’s tone was gentle, like coaxing a child.

She mistakenly thought Gu Weijing’s loss of composure was simply because he saw Detective Cat being oppressed, causing a sense of sadness from the bottom of his heart like the mourning of Spring and Autumn for the dead rabbit and fox.

An artist without connections wants to stand out and must watch the face of the heavens.

You sit at home eating hotpot, singing songs, happily painting, only to be casually slapped dead by any bigwig who finds you bothersome.

Koizumi Katsuko thought.

Gu Weijing really didn’t need to worry about that kind of problem.

She would take good care of him.

Professor Lin Tao, who wanted to take him as an apprentice, could also provide him with sufficient protection.

Don’t assume that Gu Weijing and Detective Cat are both from remote origins.

But once he goes to college, as these social relationships gradually unveil in the art world, he will immediately be seen as ”one of us” by the majority of academic art critics.

As long as Gu Weijing doesn’t actively seek his own demise, there’s no big problem.

Art criticism from an academic perspective is something every artist’s career cannot avoid.

This is the most normal thing.

In the literary and art fields, there will always be voices of criticism. To make everyone love you to death, that is not a painter, that is God.

And the critical world’s initiative to collectively banish and suppress, in fact, is completely unnecessary to worry about.

Even if major critics’ hands itch and they happen to pick on a hapless soul to criticize and vent, they won’t choose the ”Yakai Ichiro—Professor Lin Tao” interest group with Gu Weijing as the link.

To speak the truth.

In terms of artistic connections.

The son-in-law of the great artist Yakai Ichiro truly has no need to fear so-called ”dark forces.”

If the father wishes, the chubby Uncle Sakai behind Gu Weijing himself is a dark force.

It’s good enough not to actively bully others.

This collective stance by the shareholders of ”Oil Painting” magazine is a small probability event that may not happen once in decades.

”Go and see the sunset, the evening sun is so beautiful.”

Koizumi Katsuko, clearly shorter than Gu Weijing, somewhat bossily pulled him into her embrace and gently whispered in his ear.

The embrace of a pretty girl is the world’s best antidepressant.

Gu Weijing was enveloped by a soft texture.

The last brilliant sunset fell on Shengzi’s black hair, the fiery red sunlight and fiery red clouds merged into one, inseparable.

Some industrial smoke had begun to stain the sky over Yangon Laidar District, yet the majestic sky remained undisguised.

Seeing this scene.

Gu Weijing’s mood gradually improved.

Shengzi was right.

Beauty itself is power, a force strong enough to penetrate the deepest part of the heart.

The Impressionist painters once beautifully counter-attacked on the banks of the Seine River.

How many people have reached the ”Legendary Level” in oil painting techniques?

Gu Weijing should trust himself, and also believe in the ”Legendary Level” annotation of the system, as well as the emotional evaluation of ”sweat and blood.”

Painting styles are varying in popularity, but people’s appreciation for visual beauty has no such distinction.

Just like the sunset at this moment.

No matter how you look at it,

It’s magnificent.

Taking a step back, if even ”Legendary Level” technical skill cannot resist the criticism of art critics.

Then no one else in the world could achieve it.

Gu Weijing might as well look at reality, cut losses in time, and not think about making money with Detective Cat’s identity.

Honestly working hard for exhibitions, focused on becoming Elder Cao’s disciple to build a network and establish connections. Becoming part of ”art authority” early on is the right path.

Think about it,

He still lacks experience in facing changes.

It seems even Miss Ilina, who doesn’t have much interaction with him, has more confidence in his painting than Gu Weijing himself.

”Thank you, you’re great, Shengzi.”

Gu Weijing’s mind settled.

He couldn’t help but gently kiss Koizumi Katsuko’s cheek, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the orphanage’s gate with big steps.

”I have some things to do, I’m going home first, see you tomorrow.”

He waved to Miss Sakai, whose face was red as if blood-stained, and took out his phone from his pocket.

”Regarding the changes with ’Oil Painting’ magazine, I deeply apologize. However, I believe that matters concerning the shareholders’ review will not be a hindrance to ’The Little Prince.’ A beautiful artwork will speak for itself.”

Gu Weijing switched accounts and edited a message on Detective Cat’s chat account.

An agent hates when the employer encounters any public sentiment issues during the execution of important commercial actions.

Kanye spewing nonsense or Will Smith rushing on stage and slapping people, advertisers can choose to terminate the contract; if the agent doesn’t drop dead from this, then they have a strong mental capacity.

”The Little Prince” is about to be released, but it’s suddenly criticized online by a group of people.

Although Lady Elina suddenly took out a sample book of ”The Little Prince” at the shareholders’ meeting, which was a disaster beyond Gu Weijing’s control.

Still, he should apologize to Mr. Tree Sloth.

”Please don’t say sorry.”

Mr. Tree Sloth instantly replied to his message with great dignity.
