Hearing this exclamation, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the man's finger.
Sure enough, among the paintings on the right wall, the one in the middle is almost exactly the same as Tang Zining's painting.
Of course, just almost.
If you look carefully, you can still see some differences.
Such as color matching or brushstrokes.
Two identical works in the same exhibition.
This is unprecedented.
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion.
"Whose work is that?"
"It seems to be the words of Mr. Mo Bai's apprentice."
…
Tang Zining was in a daze for a few seconds, then stood up and raised his finger to touch Yunxi's face.
"Yunxi, unfortunately you are still Mr. Xu's apprentice. You are so shameless, you dare to plagiarize my paintings!"
Now that the matter could no longer be concealed, Tang Zining immediately filed a complaint and poured the dirty water on Yun Xi.
After hearing what Tang Zining said, Fu Nanjin, Mrs. Tang and others immediately agreed.
"Yunxi, Yunxi." Mrs. Tang raised her finger and pointed at Yunxi's nose, "You act like an elder and copy the paintings of younger people. Do you think what you are doing is called personnel affairs?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Fu Nanjin also shook his head with disdain, "Fortunately, Zi Ning participated in the competition, otherwise such a good idea would have been snatched away by others."
"Mr. Xu, what qualifications does such a person have to be your apprentice?"
"It's so shameless."
"Even Mr. Xu was deceived by her."
…
Suddenly, Yunxi became the target of thousands of people.
In the face of everyone's curses and doubts, Yunxi just kept a calm and calm face.
The moment she saw Tang Zining's painting, Yun Xi understood everything.
When the Tang family's mother and daughter visited Tang Si's manor before, they must have seen her paintings, and they would plagiarize her works.
"Shut up." Tang Si shouted coldly, "Xixi wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Tang Si, you are still protecting her at this time." Mrs. Tang snorted coldly, "With this evidence in front of you, what else could it be if it wasn't her plagiarism?"
"Everyone!" Xu Mobai said loudly, "Everyone, please be patient."
As soon as Xu Mobai opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
Looking sideways at Yun Xi, Xu Mobai spoke in a gentle tone.
"Yunxi, master believes that you would not do such a thing. Tell me, what is going on?"
The character is like a painting.
The master-disciple relationship with Yun Xi didn't last long, but he still understood Yun Xi's personality very well after they had been in contact with each other for so long.
Especially for this set of works, Yunxi once mentioned his thoughts to him and also shared some creative ideas.
Xu Mobai believed that his apprentice would never be that despicable and boring thief.
Hearing the old man's words, Yunxi suddenly felt warm in his heart.
Tang Si's trust in her was naturally sincere.
At this time, Xu Mobai could still stand by her side and express his trust in her. This was something Yunxi did not expect.
"Thank you, Master." Yun Xi turned around, "This one is indeed my original work. Why are there two identical paintings on site? The reason is very simple. It was not me who copied, but you -"
She raised her right hand and pointed at Tang Zining's face.
"Tang Zi Ning!"
"Yunxi!" Fu Nanjin was the first to jump out, "Don't spit on others with your blood. You said Tang Zining plagiarized you. What evidence do you have?"
"Yes, do you have proof?"
"Who can't talk nonsense?"
…
"Tang Zining!" Tang Si yelled angrily, "Don't you apologize to Third Aunt and admit your mistake?"
"Why should I admit my mistake?" Tang Zining gritted his teeth, "She was obviously the one who copied me. Third uncle, don't use your seniority to pressure me!"
When it comes to painting, if you can do it, so can I.
No one knew that she peeked at Yun Xi's paintings, and Tang Zining didn't believe that Yun Xi could really produce any evidence.
In front of so many people, if she admits plagiarism, will she still have the face to see others in the future?
"Okay." Yun Xi shrugged, "Tang Zining, you said this is your work, then I want to ask you, when did you start creating this painting?"
"A month ago, I was preparing my entry. This is the inspiration I found from the ancient book Shan Hai Jing." Tang Zining said plausibly.
"So, what are you painting?"
"Of course it's a dragon!"
"No, this is not a dragon."
Yunxi walked to the painting, raised his right hand, and explained his work.
"This is a series I drew. There are nine paintings in total. A dragon gives birth to nine sons. The sons are different. They are the children of the dragon, but none of them are real dragons. The one that Tang Zining copied from me is the eight characters of dragon -
—Negative Xi. Its appearance is almost the same as that of a dragon, but it can’t fly!”
Her finger points to the ridge of the roof that emerges from the clouds in the painting.
"So, it's not flying in the clouds, but standing on the roof."
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads as they listened to her explanation.
"Okay, Yunxi!" Fu Nanting stood up, "Whoever said that dragons can't stand on the ridge of the roof, your explanation cannot be regarded as evidence at all."
"That's right, what I drew is the dragon standing on the roof of the Heavenly Palace."
Yunxi shrugged: "Okay, then let me ask you, when did you start painting this painting?"
"A month ago." Tang Zining said smoothly, "At that time, my tutor asked me to prepare a graduation project, and I started to conceive it."
"Are you sure it was a month ago?"
"Yes, sure!"
"good!"
Yunxi raised his right hand, took off his backpack, took out a folder from it, opened it, pulled out one of the folders and held it up in front of everyone.
"This is my copyright certification. Please read the date carefully. One and a half months ago, I completed the entire series of eight works, including the certification of this one."
Originally, her set of nine paintings was supposed to be completed a month ago.
It's just that a lot of things happened and delayed the time. The last painting of Ninth Son has been delayed until the past few days to be completed.
In her previous life, Tang Zining had plagiarized her works.
This time, Yunxi also learned from experience.
Every time I paint a painting, I will go to the relevant website to authenticate the work as soon as possible, and at the same time, take photos of the relevant evidence for retention.
"And..." She raised her right hand and opened the photo album on her phone, "I have sketches, color manuscripts and all the relevant evidence in my phone. I can show it to everyone on the spot. Tang Zining, what else do you have to say now?!"
Tang Zining was dumbfounded.
The reporters around her had already rushed over and pressed the shutter on her.
"Stop slapping!" The instructor professor was the first to shout angrily, raising his hand and slapping Tang Zining in the face, "You have totally embarrassed me!"
I originally thought that the other person would be proud of himself if he painted such a work.
Who would have thought that this would be the case?
"Old...teacher, I'm...sorry!"
"What's the point of saying sorry to me? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Mo and Miss Yun?!"
"No need!" Xu Mobai said coldly before Tang Zining apologized, "The presence of such students in the Painting and Calligraphy Academy is a shame to the entire academy. Students like you are not qualified to stay here. From now on, you will be expelled from the school.
Already."
"That's too much!" Mr. Crumb also looked angry. "I officially announce that I will reject your application, and you will never accept your application again. Not just my school, but all the schools under the European and American Art Alliance."
Academy of Fine Arts. Because our academy alliance will never allow plagiarists to appear!"
Two people, two words, instantly blocked Tang Zining's future artistic path.
The Academy of Calligraphy and Painting expelled her, who among the domestic art academies will retain her?
Krombo's words were equivalent to blocking her way to study abroad.
Tang Zining has been unable to enter any art school, whether at home or abroad, and naturally there is no hope of further development.
I have been studying calligraphy and painting since I was a child, and all my efforts of more than ten years were ruined because of this plagiarism.
