Chapter 186 'Evening Bell'

Just when Tangning dreamed of being sent to her door by an actress asking to "divide", Heidi shook her awake and complained: "Why did you fall asleep here? It's so uncomfortable!"

"The rest of the plot was so boring that I fell asleep watching it!" Tang Ning shamelessly blamed Li Ruzhen.

And Heidi pointed at the wine glass and said: "You obviously drank too much, but you still blame it for being boring!"

"How could I drink too much with just one glass of wine!" Tangning defended casually, but then she realized something was wrong. Yes, with her drinking capacity, how could she be drunk with just one glass of wine? Thinking back again, this bottle of wine seemed to be given to her by Warner.

, so he immediately went to the wine rack, picked up the bottle and looked at it.

Heidi seemed to have guessed what Tang Ning was thinking, so she stepped aside and asked, "What, there's something wrong with this wine?"

"I don't know, because I just had one drink." Tangning replied in a deep voice, then thought for a while, poured a glass similar to the one she just drank, and walked out with the drink in hand.

Heidi followed and asked curiously: "Tony, what are you going to do?"

"Give Jimmy a drink and do an experiment!" Tang Ning replied as she walked. (Jimmy is a dog raised by Tang Ning's family)

But after giving the dog a drink, it took a long time and I didn't see anything wrong. At this time, Heidi said impatiently: "Tony, I think the wine should be fine, so let me have a drink and try it!"

Tangning originally wanted to stop him, but Heidi was a step too late, and she drank it in one gulp. However, there was still no sign of falling asleep or other abnormalities, so Heidi complained: "Tony, look, there is nothing wrong with the wine.

It just tastes a little weird!”

"That's weird, why did I fall asleep after just one drink!" Tang Ning muttered depressedly.

"Okay, don't think too much, the worst is that you just don't drink this bottle of wine from now on!" Heidi advised.

"Well, this is also a solution!" Tang Ning agreed.

Then Heidi changed the subject and said: "Dear, have you come up with any good novel ideas recently? I kind of want to write a novel!"

Tang Ning thought to herself that I have a lot of creative ideas in my mind, but which one is more suitable to "learn from"? While Tang Ning was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Miller's "Evening Bell" hanging on the wall, which he had copied.

Millet, Jean-François Millet, a famous painter of the Barbizon School in France. His representative works include "The Gleaner", "The Sower", and "The Bathing Goose Girl". Especially

"The Gleaner", I believe everyone will find it familiar when they see it.

"Evening Bell" is actually a work from the same period as "The Gleaner" and "The Sower". They are both masterpieces that reflect the working life of farmers. However, there is a very interesting gossip in "Evening Bell", but it was nearly a year old.

It will happen a hundred years later, so Tang Ning decided to take it out now.

So Tangning walked up to "Evening Bell" and said to Heidi, "Dear, how about you write this painting!"

"What's there to write about?" Heidi asked puzzledly.

Tangning pointed to a spot on the painting and said, "Look at this potato basket. Look carefully. Do you find anything?"

Heidi leaned over and looked at it for a while, then tentatively replied: "There seems to be a rectangular box at the bottom of this basket!"

The "bottom layer" Heidi refers to is not the bottom layer of the basket, but the painting layer under the basket. Because the oil painting is applied layer by layer, sometimes you can see the image covered by this layer.

The same principle applies to the ghost painting that triggered the New Orleans ancient painting scam.

However, this rectangular box was actually drawn like this deliberately by Downing, because in 1963, at the insistence of the Spanish surrealist master Salvador Dali, the Louvre conducted an X-ray scan of the "Evening Bell" and found that it was

There is indeed a rectangular box in the painting layer under the basket. Of course, it is definitely invisible to the naked eye, and I don't know how Dali could see it. So when copying this "Evening Bell", Tangning was out of spite.

The fun is a little more obvious.

"Then guess what this box is?" Tangning asked coaxingly.

Heidi thought for a moment, then shook her head and replied: "I can't guess!"

"Don't you think it looks like a small coffin?" Tangning reminded.

After hearing this, Heidi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Coffin, coffin? Tony, how could you think of such a terrible thing?"

"Let me ask you, what theme does this painting express?" Tang Ning asked without answering.

Heidi replied without hesitation: "In the picture, it is dusk, and a peasant couple is standing in the field. The woman clasped her hands on her chest, and the man took off his hat and lowered his head, as if he was listening to the evening bell of the church to pray after a hard day's work. Although Miller was

Considered a realist painter, most people also believe that this painting reflects the life scenes of French farmers."

"Must they be praying to the evening bell? Couldn't they be praying for their child who died in infancy?"

After listening to Tangning's words, Heidi digested it for a few seconds before reacting: "Tony, you, you mean, this rectangular box is a coffin? And what is inside is the couple's child who died in infancy?

"

"It's very possible!" Tangning nodded heavily.

At this time, Heidi suddenly thought of an important question, so she asked Tangning sternly: "Is this what the original painting looks like?"

"Well, the small coffin is not very obvious in the original painting!" Tangning replied sarcastically.

"Just tell me if you can tell?" Heidi asked.

"Um, it's probably hard to see!" Tangning replied helplessly, because he couldn't say that this could only be seen through an X-ray scan, right? Röntgen, who discovered X-rays at this time, was probably still in school.

After hearing this answer, Heidi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So Tony made this up yourself?"

Tangning simply stopped defending: "Even if I made it up, don't you think it's interesting to interpret it this way?"

Heidi thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "From a story point of view, it is indeed more interesting than a simple evening bell prayer, but will it be sued by Mr. Miller if I write it like this?"

At this time, Tang Ning thought of an important issue, that is, it seemed that Mr. Miller was still alive, but there was no need to worry about it, because there was actually a rectangular box under the painting layer, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't be afraid.

!”

PS: I think "Rebirth of 1998, There Are Hundreds of Millions of Pitfalls in This Era", although it cannot keep up with Bai Bai's "Rebirth of I Want to Surf" and Lao Wang's "Rebirth of the Wild Age", they are all based on the same approach. Why are the results so poor?

Ordinarily it shouldn’t be!
