After lunch, Shui Xiangdong and An Youqing also knocked on the door and entered the office to report to Luo Yanning.
"Mr. Shui, where did you print this photo from? It's so beautiful!"
An Youqing asked with joy after entering the door and seeing the portrait in Shui Miaomiao's hand.
“This style of photo is so unique and beautiful.”
After Shui Xiangdong saw the photo, he also admired it.
"Is this one?" Shui Miaomiao looked down at the portrait in her hand, blushed and said timidly, "This one was painted by the boss just now."
"What? This is, this is what Mr. Luo painted himself?"
Shui Xiangdong was stunned after hearing Shui Miaomiao's words.
An Youqing also opened her mouth in surprise, feeling a little unbelievable.
The same painting will have different effects in the eyes of people who don't understand art and in the eyes of people who understand art.
Shui Miaomiao doesn't know much about art. She only knows that this painting looks like her and that her boss is very powerful.
An Youqing is a real graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts. Photography and videography were her hobbies developed after graduation.
The painting that Luo Yanning was sitting on seemed astonishing to her. Every line in the painting had its purpose, and there were no unnecessary lines.
This kind of painting skill is difficult for even senior professors from the Academy of Fine Arts to achieve.
"Mr. Luo, did you draw this with the pen on your desk?"
An Youqing noticed that the lines on the portrait in Shui Miaomiao's hand were the same color as the signature pen, and she felt a little horrified.
Luo Yanning spread her hands with a relaxed expression and said: "My hands were itchy at noon, and I didn't have a brush or drawing paper around me, so I just made do and drew casually."
"Whatever...paint..." An Youqing had the urge to kill her after hearing Luo Yanning's words, and exclaimed with a look on her face, "Mr. Luo, your level is enough to become a professor at our Academy of Fine Arts!"
An Youqing even felt that Luo Yanning's level was much higher than her previous teacher.
Especially when I learned that Luo Yanning's painting tools turned out to be an extremely ordinary signature pen and an extremely ordinary letter paper.
An Youqing was completely convinced and fell into admiration!
Luo Yanning continued to be modest to the end and said with a smile: "I just paint casually. Painting is just a hobby. There is still a big gap between me and the professors at the Academy of Fine Arts who specialize in this field."
"At your level, if you were an amateur, I would be embarrassed to tell others that I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts."
An Youqing felt almost ashamed after hearing Luo Yanning's words.
Shui Xiangdong's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "By the way, Mr. Luo! If you want to stay at the BL station and be the UP host, your painting skills are a very good entry point!"
An Youqing's eyes also lit up, and she echoed: "Yes, Mr. Luo! Recently, there have been quite a few fanatics in BL who are painting in the village. I feel that your level is definitely better than them."
"Can you use painting as a starting point..." Luo Yanning touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
Luo Yanning also pays attention to some popular videos on the BL website, and has also seen those fanatics An Youqing mentioned who paint in rural areas.
One is a college student who went back to the village to paint murals for every household in the village.
One is a handsome farmer who is a carpenter, painter, and cook.
As An Youqing said, these two people are fanatics who have gained a lot of followers on the BL site recently.
Especially the latter, in just over a month, it already has 2.5 million fans and is on the way to 3 million.
If you want to complete the task of [Follower Gainer] within the deadline, you can really learn from the real follower gainer at BL site.
Shui Xiangdong asked excitedly: "By the way, Mr. Luo, can you paint murals?"
Luo Yanning nodded: "I know a little bit."
Shui Xiangdong suggested: "Then... let's go shoot a video, I'll help you cut it up to see the effect, and then we can send it to the BL website to try it out?"
"Okay." Luo Yanning nodded, and readily agreed in order to complete the task.
Luo Yanning, Shui Miaomiao, Shui Xiangdong, An Youqing, the four of them, do what they say.
After finalizing their decision, the four of them drove straight to Luojiazhuang.
When they learned that Luo Yanning was going to paint the walls of villagers' homes for free, the villagers went to sign up one after another.
Luo Yanning chose Shuisheng Supermarket as the first stop for painting among a group of villagers who signed up.
The wall at the entrance of Shuisheng Supermarket happens to be blank, which is very suitable for painting.
After deciding on the wall for painting, An Youqing and Shui went east to prepare the materials for painting.
"Boss Shui, what do you want to draw on this wall?"
Luo Yanning took advantage of the preparation of materials to share his thoughts with Shuisheng.
Shuisheng asked: "Mr. Luo, what are you good at painting? Are you good at painting people, landscapes, animals, or what?"
Luo Yanning smiled and said: "Anything is fine, I've dabbled in everything."
Shuisheng nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, then you can help me draw some animals on this wall!"
Cute animals are the favorites of children. Shuisheng’s move is to attract more children to come and play in the supermarket.
It’s not groundless to say that women and children are the best money to make, just say it casually.
At this time, the villagers in Luojiazhuang have benefited more or less from the scenic spot, and their income has increased significantly compared with before.
As the villagers make more money, they are more willing to spend money, and their consumption level is significantly higher than before.
One of the most obvious changes is that the children in the village have more pocket money.
At present, Shuisheng Supermarket can make hundreds of dollars a day just by doing business with children.
On weekends, many snacks and toys in the supermarket can even be sold out due to the children in the village and the children brought by tourists.
The spending power of children is no lower than that of adults.
Luo Yanning communicated with Shui Sheng and finally decided how many animals should be painted on the wall.
The first animal is the giant panda, a national treasure that everyone loves.
The second animal is the leopard. This animal is for no other reason than to bring good luck. Leopard, money hug!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The third animal is also the giraffe, which is very popular among children.
The fourth animal is quite special and does not exist in reality, but it is a dinosaur that is very popular among children, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
At the same time, next to Luo Yongnian’s house next to Shuisheng Supermarket.
A man wearing a dark blue uniform, carrying a paint bucket and an oil brush was smoking with a depressed look on his face.
The man's name is Liu Gensheng, and he is a master painter hired by Luo Haifeng from the village to do mural promotion for the village.
"Master, the branch secretary of this village is really interesting. He just asked you to make a propaganda poster, and then he hired another painter. What kind of trouble is this!"
Next to Liu Gensheng, a young man who looked to be in his twenties had an angry look on his face.
The young man's name is Song Xiaofeng, he is an apprentice with Liu Gensheng, and he is also the cousin of his wife's brother's brother-in-law.
"Don't worry about what they do, we should do what we should do, just do our job well."
Liu Gensheng looked very indifferent on the surface and looked nonchalant, but in fact he was still very concerned in his heart.
After saying this, Liu Gensheng turned his head and glanced at the paintings he had finished on the wall.
Liu Gensheng drew a propaganda picture showing respect for the elderly and love for the young.
The content of the promotional picture is a scene of the daughter-in-law supporting the old woman and happily going for a walk together.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both have a cartoony, two-dimensional paper style.
Liu Gensheng has painted this painting dozens of times on the walls of Shiliba Village. Although he painted it a little hastily today, it is still above his level.
"Master, please rest for a while. I'll go over and take a look at the excitement. I want to see what the young man is capable of doing to compete with you for food!"
Song Xiaofeng said angrily and turned towards the crowd at Shuisheng Supermarket.
"Oh, Xiaofeng..." Liu Gensheng wanted to stop his young apprentice from joining in the fun, but he swallowed his words again.
In fact, Liu Gensheng was also quite curious about the level of the painter opposite him.
Liu Gensheng turned around and took a look. The few villagers who had just gathered around him to watch the excitement were no longer there. They all went to the small supermarket to watch.
Simply, he took off his clothes, placed them on the scaffolding beside the wall, and walked towards the supermarket with his legs up.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. It is not a bad thing to know more about the strength of your competitors.
When Liu Gensheng and Song Xiaofeng, masters and apprentices, came to the small supermarket, Shui Xiangdong and An Youqing had just returned from buying materials from the county town.
Luo Yanning asked the two of them to buy environmentally friendly, non-toxic and odorless acrylic paint.
Murals made with this kind of paint have many benefits.
It is strong and wear-resistant, water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, resistant to natural aging, does not fade, does not deteriorate or fall off, does not reflect light, dries quickly after painting, is easy to wash, and is suitable for various indoor and outdoor walls.
As long as there is no man-made damage, there will be no problem if it is preserved for ten to eight years.
If you want to buy it, just buy it. Luo Yanning is not short of money.
"Mr. Luo is really an all-rounder! He is so good at making clay figurines, and he can even draw!"
"Yes! These days, there are really not many young people as versatile as Mr. Luo."
"Oh! That kid in my family is about the same age as Mr. Luo. He only hides in the room and plays games after work every day. He doesn't know shit. Why is there such a huge gap between people?"
"Whoever marries our Mr. Luo will be blessed for the rest of his life!"
The villagers talked a lot about Luo Yanning, who was making preparations for color mixing. Some aunts with daughters at home looked at him and wished they could take him home and make him their son-in-law.
Luo Yanning turned a deaf ear to the comments behind her. She calmly mixed colors in the palette while facing the wall, imagining the image she was going to paint later.
After about 5 minutes, Luo Yanning made an OK gesture to An Youqing, who was playing with the camera, indicating that she could start recording.
An Youqing returned Luo Yanning's OK gesture, pressed the record button, and the camera began to capture the scene.
In the picture, Luo Yanning walked towards the wall with a palette. When she was still two or three meters away from the wall, she suddenly raised her hand holding the palette and smashed the palette against the wall.
"oh!"
"Wow!"
Seeing Luo Yanning's actions, the onlookers couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise.
The palette hit the wall and slowly fell down. The paint in the palette stuck to the wall and looked blurry.
Luo Yanning magically took out a brand new brush from his pocket and spread the paint on the wall thinly and evenly like spreading a pancake.
"What kind of painting technique is this!"
"This technique is a bit too wild!"
After everyone saw Luo Yanning's painting skills, they were amazed again.
Swish swish, swish swish--!
The brush kept moving on the wall, and soon, the blurry pile of paint on the wall turned into the prototype of a giant panda.
Before painting, Luo Yanning had already made a draft in her mind, and the movements of her hands were as smooth as flowing clouds.
In less than five minutes, a naive giant panda holding a piece of bamboo and chewing it appeared on the wall.
"Wow! This looks so similar!"
"It feels like this panda is going to jump out of the wall at any moment."
"My God, Mr. Luo is such an awesome painter! Standing here, it looks more realistic than the real pandas I saw in the zoo!"
"Awesome! So awesome! This will definitely go viral if posted online!"
"The masters are among the people! There are such awesome painters in rural areas!"
“I feel that the biggest gain from this trip is the precious pictures I just captured!”
After Luo Yanning finished painting the last stroke of bamboo leaves, the crowd of people watching exploded with a bang.
At the beginning, the crowd of onlookers were just some idle villagers from Luojiazhuang.
As time goes by, more and more melon-eaters join the ranks of onlookers.
Many of these melon-eaters are tourists preparing to visit scenic spots.
"Okay, okay! Mr. Luo, you are awesome, you are so awesome!"
When the owner Shui Sheng saw the giant panda painted by Luo Yanning, he was so happy that his mouth almost burst open to the base of his ears.
To be honest, at the beginning, he tried his best to invite Luo Yanning to paint on the wall of his supermarket, and he was slightly suspected of flattering Luo Yanning.
Before today, let alone Shui Sheng, not even Shui Miaomiao and even Luo Yanning knew that they had the talent for painting.
Before today, no one knew how good Luo Yanning was as a painter.
Only a quarter of a mural was painted, and Luo Yanning was already amazing.
"Mr. Luo! If this video of yours is posted on the BL website, it will definitely hit the hot spots!"
Shui Xiangdong quickly took a look at the footage captured on the camera, his face flushed with excitement.
"Mr. Luo! You are my god!"
An Youqing was an old and die-hard fan of Luo Yanning. Now, she has completely transformed into an NC fan.
"Master...this one does have some strength."
In the crowd, Song Xiaofeng turned to look at the frowning master beside him.
At this moment, Song Xiaofeng had the urge to betray his master and become a disciple again.
As the saying goes, if you compare yourself with others, you will die, but if you compare goods, you will throw them away.
If you look at Liu Gensheng's murals alone, you can see that they are quite good.
But if we compare Liu Gensheng's murals and Luo Yanning's murals together, there is no comparison at all.
The gap between the two is like the gap between the graffiti of a kindergarten child and the work of an art academy teacher.
