Chapter 976: The Teacher Is Here

As soon as Tan Mo said this, there was a brief silence in the exhibition hall.

Only Tan Jinyi’s paintings were displayed in the exhibition hall, although there were only four of them.

However, from the filming of the TV series, there was also a collection of art related to the conception of the “Broken Continent” worldview.

From the world of the Broken Continent to the set picture of each character, they were all displayed in this exhibition hall.

In relation to Tan Jinyi.

Whether it was He Haoyan, Dong Yanzhen, or Wei Zhiqian, they all had to arrange for Tan Jinyi’s appearance.

Therefore, this exhibition hall was also very big.

As expected, Kefeng films didn’t arrange such a big exhibition hall for nothing.

There were surprisingly many people who came here.

Even though the exhibition hall was big enough, it became crowded due to the large number of people.

However, everyone fell silent when Tan Mo finished speaking.

“Tan Jinyi?”

At this moment, someone exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s Tan Jinyi!”

“That’s right. Who knows Tan Jinyi’s paintings better than Tan Jinyi himself?”

Tan Jinyi didn’t expect Tan Mo to identify him.

Didn’t she say to keep a low profile?

Tan Jinyi looked at Tan Mo in shock.

Tan Mo walked over and stood in front of Tan Jinyi.

She stood on her tiptoes and raised her arms.

Tan Jinyi thought that Tan Mo wanted to say something to him, so he lowered his head.

Unexpectedly, Tan Mo raised her hand and grabbed the brim of Tan Jinyi’s hat.

“Third Brother, I’m taking off your hat, alright?” Tan Mo at least gave Tan Jinyi a heads-up.

Tan Jinyi was given three seconds to prepare before Tan Mo removed his hat.

But how could these three seconds be enough for Tan Jinyi to prepare himself?

Tan Jinyi had only used these three seconds to digest Tan Mo’s words.

Tan Mo removed Tan Jinyi’s hat out of the blue, revealing Tan Jinyi’s face completely.

Fans who came to see the exhibition often went online. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have known about this exhibition.

After seeing Tan Jinyi, they only reacted after a few seconds.

Then, someone recognized him. “It’s really Tan Jinyi!”

Tan Jinyi was caught off guard by the hat being taken off. He was used to wearing it, and even after taking it off, he still felt a little insecure.

Tan Jinyi rubbed his head and said openly, “It’s me.”

“No wonder you can explain what was drawn so clearly,” everyone said.

The five people who came to cause trouble unsurprisingly were stony-faced.

Tan Jinyi said to them, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask. I’ll give you my answers here.”

“Also, you said that my drawing is average, but where exactly is average? Please give me some advice,” Tan Jinyi said sincerely. “I’ll go back and practice more. I’ll definitely improve.”

Tan Jinyi’s expression was too sincere. No one would think that he was mocking them.

It was as if he was sincerely seeking guidance.

Even the five people that Tan Jinyi had asked were embarrassed.

It was because they could tell that Tan Jinyi was especially sincere that they were even more flustered.

If Tan Jinyi’s tone was filled with mockery, they would have a reason to reprimand him and take the opportunity to change the topic.

However, Tan Jinyi’s question could not have been more sincere.

The five of them hesitated and they scowled as they stood rooted to the ground. They simply could not say what was wrong.

Teacher Lin felt that Tan Jinyi must have pretended to be very sincere just to humiliate them.

He did not expect Tan Jinyi to be so scheming at such a young age.

Wasn’t an artist all about art?

How could there be so much scheming involved!

Tan Jinyi had to pretend to be harmless and fool everyone.

“Tan Jinyi may look young, but he’s very sincere.”

“He really has the sincerity of an artist who only cares about art. Even when faced with people who deliberately make things difficult for him, he doesn’t mind. As long as he can improve his skills, he is fine with the other party putting him on the spot.”

“It’s probably because he’s young that he’s even more sincere. His thoughts are even more pure. He’s not like these five. They say they’re artists, but in fact, they’ve already become old dogs.”

“Yeah, speaking of which, Tan Jinyi actually didn’t provoke anyone. Instead, these so-called older artists jumped out one after another to make things difficult for him. I don’t get it. Has Tan Jinyi harmed their interests?”

“I’ve thought about it, but I can’t think of any conflict of interest between Tan Jinyi and them. Since there’s no conflict, why would they make things so difficult for a young man?”

“Don’t they allow young people to get ahead? Or don’t they allow young people unrelated to their interests to do so? As long as they are not related, as long as they don’t allow it, no one else can try to get ahead?”

“Gosh, I feel angry just thinking about what you said. If every industry was controlled by such people, how could young people get ahead? If they wanted to stand out, they had to rely on them. They might even have to lose all of their character and talent. Everything would be done according to what they said. If they felt that what you drew was incorrect and not up to standard, that’s that. You’d have to follow their standards, and what you draw has to be the same as theirs. Only then will they show it to others.”

“We aren’t professionals, so what do we know? We can only say that it looks good. But what we can see is a certain quality, a certain style. After some time, even our aesthetic standards will be controlled by them. We won’t be able to see other types, and we won’t be allowed to do so.”

“Forget us,” someone added, “Even art students have to learn from them. They aren’t allowed to learn other styles, and they aren’t allowed to have their own styles. Then, their aesthetic standards will become more and more homogeneous, and we won’t be able to see anything else. This is basically cultural suicide!”

“It’s also fortunate that Tan Jinyi’s teacher is He Haoyan, and his senior is Dong Yanzhen. Even if the entire Calligraphy and Painting Asociation were combined, they wouldn’t be able to suppress Tan Jinyi. In addition, he has siblings who support him, and they can help him through their own domains. If it were anyone else, they would have long been suppressed to the point of no return.”

“Sigh, although this has nothing to do with us since we aren’t in this line, however, thinking of our own industry, if it’s the same, and if something similar happens to us, we will feel powerless. Powerless anger.”

“Yeah.”

The more they talked, the more hateful they felt.

There was always a small group of people who used their power to suppress the future of others.

“Who said that your paintings are average?” At this moment, a voice sounded.

This voice sounded light and benevolent, and from the sound of it, one would feel that it was from an especially gentle and polite person.

This would probably be the type of person who could give a particularly good impression with their voice.

When Tan Jinyi heard the voice, his face lit up with pleasant surprise.

“Teacher!”
