After some discussion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a decision to weave a 50X60 oil painting. As for the content of the oil painting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will borrow an oil painting from the National Oil Painting Museum and send it over.
It must be said that the efficiency of the diplomatic department is very high.
Within two days, a group of five fully armed guards came over with an oil painting.
According to the security guard responsible for protecting this oil painting, this oil painting was painted by Master Wang, the most famous oil painting master in the Xia Kingdom, and is called Autumn Rose.
Well, Fang Xiaoyue looked at the oil painting and felt that she didn't see any meaning. It was just a messy rose that was about to lose its leaves, surrounded by messy five-color lines that seemed to contain some meaning.
Well, after all, this is an abstract painting. If someone who doesn’t know much about painting looks at it, it’s basically difficult to understand the meaning contained in it.
However, this did not affect Fang Xiaoyue's weaving while watching the oil painting.
When Fang Xiaoyue was busy, village chief Wang Defu originally planned to come over and take a look.
Unfortunately, the oil painting was so precious that the guards had sealed off the entire straw weaving factory. Except for Fang Xiaoyue, even the educated youth had to temporarily return to the warehouse to live.
Those apprentices also took a temporary vacation and rested at home.
As for the village chief, it is even less likely that he will be allowed to enter the straw weaving factory.
Of course, weaving an oil painting with an area of 50X60 is a relatively difficult challenge for Fang Xiaoyue.
The reason is very simple. First of all, the larger the area, the more troublesome it is to weave it.
Secondly, the length of corn husks is limited, so the length of the subdivided fibers is also limited.
50X60, no matter which direction the length is, exceeds the length of corn husk fiber.
As a result, Fang Xiaoyue can only use the splicing method to weave to make up for the length limit of the corn husk fiber.
But in this case, it is equivalent to more than doubling the knitting time.
It is precisely because of this that Fang Xiaoyue spent fifteen days to weave this autumn rose.
As soon as the finished product comes out, someone will immediately take pictures and send it to the capital for the leaders to check whether it is qualified.
After the leaders confirmed that they were qualified, the autumn rose weaving painting and the original painting were escorted to the capital again by the guards.
But all Fang Xiaoyue received was a fee of 200 yuan paid by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Well, these two hundred yuan seems very small, but it is completely different from Fang Xiaoyue's fifteen days of hard work.
But in fact, everyone knows that from this moment on, even if the straw weaving factory and Fang Jianjun are registered on it, they will be completely different from before.
As expected, the knitting painting Autumn Roses sent as a national gift won the favor of the president, who even wanted to meet the author of the knitting painting.
Of course, due to time constraints, this wish could not be realized, but the president still sent an invitation to Fang Xiaoyue through the diplomatic department, inviting Fang Xiaoyue to his country for an art visit.
Mr. President believes that an artist who can weave such an oil painting should be able to bring Eastern art to his country.
After the president's invitation was passed on, the entire Huangliang County was about to boil.
Everyone knows that the director of the straw weaving factory in Kuixing Village, Juxing Township, is an artist. Even foreign presidents have invited him to visit!
The cowhide is booming!
This is simply shocking!
You know, in a remote and remote place like Huangliang County, not even a foreign friend has ever seen it, let alone a foreign president.
In an instant, Fang Jianjun's name almost became the main topic of discussion during everyone's leisure time.
Many people even took advantage of their business trip to Juxing Township to come to Kuixing Straw Weaving Factory, hoping to see this artist and get a taste of art, so that their children might also be able to become celebrities in the future.
An artist.
For a while, the flow of people who came to visit the straw weaving factory every day made Fang Xiaoyue a little annoyed.
Fortunately, Wang Defu, the head of Kuixing Village, wanted to protect the artist, so he asked the militia company commander Huang Laoyao to set up a checkpoint at the head of the village to check for thieves. The cumbersome inspection process made many people aware of it.
Retreat from difficulty.
Of course, this can only persuade ordinary-level joiners to return, but it is useless for cadres with a certain level.
Fortunately, as the autumn rose became famous as a national gift, the foreign affairs department received praise from senior officials.
The leaders of Dahe Province have a feeling that flowers are planted inside the walls and the fragrance is fragrant outside the walls.
Artists from Dahe Province ended up with benefits taken away by the foreign affairs department above?
This won't work.
We need to pay more attention to local artists.
No, it just so happens that the Xia Kingdom is planning to hold a Xia Kingdom Expo in the Demon Sea, inviting friends from all over the world to visit, thereby building up the reputation of the Xia Kingdom in terms of cultural traditions and other aspects in the plane. The higher authorities require all provinces to pay attention to this matter and must bring good things to the world.
Bring out traditional cultural products and good local specialties to show foreign friends that Xia is no longer the dilapidated semi-colony it once was.
It is said that all provinces and regions have come up with their own specialties and cultural products, and the competition is quite fierce.
Who doesn’t want to show off their hometown at the expo?
The leaders of Dahe Province followed the trend and found Fang Xiaoyue and asked him to weave an oil painting that reflected the beautiful scenery of Dahe Province.
No way, some of those foreign friends may appreciate Chinese paintings, but more people definitely appreciate oil paintings more.
Therefore, oil paintings should be safer.
Following the request from the superiors, Fang Xiaoyue followed suit and posted an announcement outside the gate of the straw weaving factory: Our factory has accepted the task from above and is temporarily closed for production and is not open to the public.
The leaders of Dahe Province also learned about Fang Xiaoyue's troubles, so they directly asked Baimi City to come forward and stop departments at all levels from going to Kuixing Village to interfere with Fang Xiaoyue's creation.
That's right, Fang Xiaoyue's straw weaving is no longer called production, but called creation.
As an artist, creating works of art is very reasonable.
With a quiet environment, Fang Xiaoyue immediately focused her energy on creation.
However, it is still quite difficult to achieve the requirement of reflecting the beautiful scenery of Dahe Province.
The most important thing is that although Fang Jianjun is from Dahe Province, the farthest place he has been to in his life is Huangliang County. The other place is his hometown Tea City. As for other places in Dahe Province, he has never seen it.
In later generations, you can learn about the scenery of other places through some film and television works and videos, but in this era, there is no such good thing.
I can only rely on Fang Xiaoyue to go sightseeing on her own.
Of course, the leader has already said that there is no problem with this, and everything is guaranteed to ensure smooth creation.
So after Fang Xiaoyue arranged the production plan of the straw weaving factory, she took the letter of introduction she issued and set off.
For this reason, the province even sent a small car to serve Fang Xiaoyue.
