The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 738 - 737. Gallop Horse Painting!

"Right, right, right!"

The crowd focused their attention on Bai Chenxi, who laid the final painting flat on the table, his eyes shining so brightly they nearly lit up the entire meeting room.

Old Master Bai’s mouth twitched slightly as he slapped him on the shoulder.

"You little rascal, what are you grinning about to yourself?"

"Hehe, the finale piece is bound to dazzle everyone. Aren’t you curious, Grandpa?"

As soon as Bai Chenxi finished speaking, Old Master Bai froze for a few seconds, then quickly realized, "You put Xiao Shu’s painting last?!"

Only now did he realize that from the first painting onwards, Tang Shu’s was the only one missing!

It was all because his old friends’ works were so splendid that they drew everyone’s attention, causing them to overlook this detail.

"You little rascal, are you so confident that Xiao Shu won’t get stage fright? If she underperforms, being the finale could be risky."

Is this kid really his grandson?

Why is he so in need of a lesson!

It wasn’t that Old Master Bai lacked faith in Tang Shu. Her skill demonstrated yesterday in the President’s Office alone was enough to awe everyone, but there’s always a chance of an unexpected outcome, right?

Feeling wronged, Bai Chenxi rubbed his shoulder and muttered, "Impossible, Sister Tang is the all-capable Uncle She" and such, leaving Elder Master Bai dumbfounded with his fanatical behavior.

Is this what they call a ’die-hard fan’ online?

Definitely, no doubt about it!

While the grandfather and grandson were exchanging glances for a few seconds, the others were captivated by the painting on the table. The staff members standing in a circle behind gasped upon seeing the artwork.

"Holy cow!"

"Good lord, is it the ’Gallop Horse Painting’?!"

"How... How could it be the Gallop Horse Painting?!"

"What? Gallop Horse? Tang Shu actually painted a gallop horse? You must be joking!"

"Yeah, right, how could that be? Who would be so thoughtless as to paint something exactly like the topic on the screen?"

Upon hearing the exclamations in front, the people in the back started to discuss incredulously among themselves, casting doubt on the words "Gallop Horse Painting."

Yeah, how could it be the Gallop Horse Painting?

That was the surprising part for everyone.

The theme of this competition was Master Xu’s "Gallop Horse Painting," and most would base their work on its creative background, deliberately avoiding the word "horse." After all, in front of a real master, everyone had to dodge his brilliance.

Yet now, someone actually chose to base their theme on a horse? Should one say that the person had full confidence in their work, or was it merely overestimating oneself?

Obviously, to the many staff members who didn’t understand Tang Shu, they leaned more towards the latter.

"Sigh, this celebrity... is she really just here for the appearance?"

"Confirmed, she’s here to gain presence, probably to craft a public persona, pfft—"

"Who knows what connections she has, which big shot in our association arranged a judging position for her? Now look, she’s screwed herself over, hasn’t she?"

"Some people, even with backing, it’s no use if they don’t have the brains."

"If you want attention, you need to have some sense, right? This is blatantly digging your own grave—"

"I think, she must’ve taken Master She’s spot to come here. And Master She, how could he let someone like her take his place?"

"emmmm~~~ Seduced by money?"

"It’s no wonder she’s a Weibo big V, she’s on a completely different path from our association, truly one of their own with the entertainment circle."

"No wonder that ’She and Yu’ refused to show her face before, could it have been arranged in advance? Was the intention always to monetize her Weibo account?"

"I’m so embarrassed, and yet she’s acting so nonchalant? She really is a professional!"

The staff trailing behind whispered their opinions to each other. A few even felt anxious for Tang Shu, internally sighing at the thought that the situation wasn’t going to end well.

However, before they could finish venting all the words churning in their stomachs, they heard someone ahead exclaim:

"Shut up!"

"Zhou... Group Leader Zhou, what’s wrong? Did we disturb you?"

The person known as Group Leader Zhou also had a staff ID hanging on his chest, perhaps because of his seniority in the group, he was positioned closer to the front, able to glimpse the ’Gallop Horse Painting’ through the gaps between people.

"What do you know? Master She really has genuine talent!"

Saying others are overestimating themselves?

It’s clear they have a card up their sleeve!

"...Huh?!"

The people he scolded were more shocked than one another.

"Did we say something wrong?"

"In such matters, our association still needs to maintain face. Even if... cough cough, we can’t let it get out!"

"Right, let’s keep this to ourselves."

"No, it’s not that... stop talking nonsense, I... I saw it!"

At that moment, someone was squeezed out from the crowd, his face still wore a look of astonishment as if he had seen something incredible.

"What’s wrong, Lin Zi? What’s with that expression? Don’t tell me Old Master Bai’s face was that bad?"

"No, that’s not it!"

He had a mysterious look, "Group Leader Zhou is right, Tang Shu is the real master. I’ve seen her painting!"

"How is it? What did you say about the master? Are you saying the painting is really good?"

"It can’t possibly be better than Master Xu’s ’Gallop Horse Painting’, can it? You must be joking; no matter how eloquently you put it, I absolutely can’t believe it."

The shock hadn’t yet faded from his face, "I only got a few glimpses, caught a corner, but! The lines of that horse are truly filled with power!"

Meanwhile, the ring of judges surrounding the table was staring intently at the ’Gallop Horse Painting’ in front of them, so different from the one on the screen. The horses in the painting emanated an unparalleled impact, striking at everyone’s hearts!

At this moment, Old Master Bai, standing at the very center of the painting, had his eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the charging horse in the picture, as if he could hear the ringing of the warhorse’s neighing by his ears.

This is Artistic Conception!

The most straightforward expression is to captivate the viewer’s mind and soul at first glance, to be profoundly moved while unable to take your eyes off it, directly experiencing the emotion of the scene depicted in the painting.

"This galloping horse... Its body is so upright and majestic!"

Indeed, majestic.

In the painting, the galloping horse’s long neck was exceedingly strong, connecting to the smooth mane and the flowing tail, every brushstroke revealing the horse’s robustness and spirit!

Full of vigor, with hooves lifted high, as if one could see the steed sprinting across the endless prairie. And Xiao Shu’s horse, bounding forward in her strokes, required no accessories; no saddle, stirrups, nor the constraint of reins, just endless exuberance and flair. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Valiant, unstoppable.
