Mr. Tangning, you are a liar!" That day, when Tangning was painting "King Zhou Favors Daji", Hannah suddenly came over and complained to him angrily.
"Why am I a liar?" Tangning asked in confusion.
"Didn't you tell me before that you have only been to Shanghai, China, and that the place is heavily Westernized, so you can't draw paintings with Chinese elements?" Hannah asked.
"I mean I can't paint your kind of oil paintings that have a strong atmosphere of Chinese markets, streets, landscapes, etc., but Peking opera is not one of them. I watched many Peking operas when I was in Shanghai and I liked it very much!" Tang Ning
explained, but in fact he only went there once...
Because of her long-term travel experience in China, Hannah knew that Peking Opera could be seen in larger cities in China, and metropolises like Shanghai were no exception. So she knew that she had wrongly blamed Tangning, and she immediately felt very embarrassed, so she interrupted
Changing the subject, he pointed at the drawing board and asked Tang Ning, "Mr. Tang Ning, is this painting also about Peking Opera?"
Tang Ning nodded and replied: "Of course, this is "King Zhou Favored Daji"..." Then she briefly told the story of King Zhou Daji.
"Yes, are there any people who sing Peking Opera dressed like this?" Hannah asked, pointing to the "Daji" in the painting and blushing.
The reason why Hannah is like this is because the "Daji" that Tangning drew is different from the ordinary "Daji". He drew Xiao Yang Yuelou's version of "Daji". What's special about his version of "Daji"
Just wearing a bikini...
Therefore, not to mention that Hannah, an American, would be surprised when she saw it, even the Chinese would be shocked when she saw it, because Xiao Yang Yuelou's appearance is unique and no one has the courage to imitate it; in addition, Xiao Yang Yuelou is not born yet.
, so in fact this appearance will not appear until a hundred years later...
However, Tang Ning believed that Hannah definitely didn't know, so she said nonsensically: "Of course, this is the representative play of Mr. Yang Yuelou, the famous fan opera artist..."
The "pink opera" that Tang Ning refers to refers to Peking opera with that kind of plot and performance. The more famous ones include "Mr. Murder", "Haihui Temple", "Two Spikes", etc. Nowadays, due to the purification of the stage
, so this type of play can no longer be seen, but it was quite popular at the time. As for the reason, I don’t need to say more. (I can understand the ban of "Pink Play", but it is too much to ban "Ghost Play"
What a pity, this has no ill effects, right?)
The reason why Tang Ning chose to paint "King Zhou Favors Daji" was because he was not interested in other subjects. Painting itself was a hobby for him. Painting "Farewell My Concubine" proved that the path of Peking Opera oil painting was feasible.
Having achieved his goal, although Sterling, Porter and other well-known people were willing to offer high prices, he was not short of money, so he refused them all.
This painting "King Zhou Favors Daji" suddenly came to mind when he was having an affair with Janet. He found it very interesting, so he started painting. However, he had not thought about selling this painting and planned to keep it at home to play with.
.
Knowing that Tang Ning did not intend to sell this painting, Hannah sighed with regret, "Mr. Tang Ning, I dare say that if you are willing to sell this painting, it will definitely fetch a high price!"
Hannah's words are not nonsense, because there have always been many painters who have painted religious paintings such as "Susanna and the Elders", "Bathsheba and King David", and "Potiphar's Wife and Joseph".
They make money by telling stories. Of course, the people who buy these paintings are not buying them out of religious belief or appreciation of art. They are purely because these paintings contain female nudes, and the people who paint these paintings are also doing what they like.
Of course, they are too embarrassed to hang these paintings in public. They hide them to admire secretly or use them for fun at other times. However, the prices of such paintings are relatively high, so Hannah came to this conclusion.
.
"Actually, Miss Foster, you can also paint Peking Opera oil paintings like this. I think there is a huge market for it!" Tang Ning suggested.
Hannah shook her head and said, "Forget it, because I haven't watched Peking Opera that much, and I can't draw it even if I want to. And although my current paintings can't sell as much as your "Farewell My Concubine", Mr. Tangning."
The price is high, but the sales are pretty good, and the money I make is enough for me to spend.”
Tangning understood Hanna's explanation, but what he didn't expect was that a few days later, Hanna came over with a beautiful blonde and introduced him to him: "Mr. Tangning

,This is my good friend Lisa White--Fan Ning!"
"Oh, hello, Miss Fan Ning!" Tang Ning greeted casually.
After chatting for a while, Lisa Bai Yin left because she had something to do. But instead of leaving, Hannah took a step closer and asked Tang Ning in a low voice after Lisa Bai Yin left, "Mr. Tang Ning, what do you think of Lisa Bai Yin?"
Tang Ning replied confused, "Miss Fan Ning? She is very beautiful, has a nice voice, and is easy to get along with." Then she asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me this?"
"Because Yin Lisabai wants to learn painting from you!" Hannah replied seriously.
Tang Ning couldn't believe her ears for a moment: "What?! Miss Fan Ning wants to learn painting from me? Are you kidding? If she wants to learn painting, she can just learn from you!"
"I have to learn this from you, because Mr. Downing is the only one in New Orleans who can paint this kind of Peking Opera oil painting!" Hannah explained.
"Ms. Fan Ning also went to China and liked Peking Opera very much?" Tang Ning asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Hannah shook her head and replied: "That's not true, she doesn't know anything about Peking Opera and has never even been to China!"
"Then why do you have to learn Peking Opera oil painting?" Tang Ning asked in confusion.
"Because it makes money! Mr. Tangning, you are now a master of Peking Opera oil painting, but you don't want to paint anymore. If Lisa Bai Yin can get your guidance, plus your reputation as a student, then it will definitely not be difficult for her paintings to be sold!
"Hannah replied very honestly.
Although Hannah's reason was very philistine, Tangning had to admit that what she said made sense. However, there was one question Tangning still wanted to ask: "But why should I teach her?"
"Didn't you just say that she is very beautiful? Yin Lisabai said that as long as you are willing to grant her, she can agree to all your requests!" Hannah explained.
PS: I read Shenxing Burger’s creative remarks. Maybe I’m a layman, but I think I prefer the clichéd development route he mentioned. Of course, that’s not to say that it’s not good to write like this now. It’s also a distinct personal style.
, and the results of Wanding also prove that many readers like it, but I am just a layman...
