Chapter 13. Comments on The Great Beauty Era

Title: "The Era of Great Beauty": Even without a system or cheat codes, you can still become a transcendent in the art world

Today, I would like to seriously recommend to you an urban art novel - "The Era of Great Beauty".

"The Great Beauty of the Times", author: Zhongqiu Yueming, a level five author.

Category: Urban-Youth Campus.

【Introduction】

A professional book describing life in an art academy

Everyone who hears the word Academy of Fine Arts will smile knowingly and show that expression that says you know what I mean.

Yes, art academies do have courses on painting, but not every major knows how to paint.

For example, Wan Changsheng, he applied for the Chinese painting department...

But he didn't expect...

【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: I'm not afraid of your pleasure, but I'll keep a list later. The protagonist, Wan Changsheng, comes from the Wan family, the head of the four "Wanjia Shengfo" families that protect the thousand-year-old Guanyin Temple. He is proficient in painting, sculpture, Buddhist statues, and fortune-telling. The Wan family has served as temple custodians for generations, but with new demands in the new era, the protagonist must obtain a university degree to continue his role as temple custodian and uphold family tradition. After all, this temple is a 4A scenic spot with a cultural center. If he wants to become a curator within the system (a temple keeper in this new era), a university degree is essential.

Chapter Two: Knowing White and Guarding Black. Wan Jia, Sun Hu, each has his responsibilities. As the eldest son of the Wan family, Wan Changsheng must enter university, so his family arranges for him to attend a preparatory course. Even at the best local art class, the protagonist is completely clueless about the fundamentals of painting: sketching, color expression, pen grip. Desperate, he seeks a new destination.

Chapter 3: Is silence still celebrated in this world? After many twists and turns, the protagonist arrived in Jiangzhou. A dazzled moment, he finally found his way to the Damei Training Institute. At the instruction of Ms. Cao from the admissions office, the protagonist, using a piece of chalk and a few simple strokes, created a truly exceptional sketch. This astonished not only Ms. Cao but the readers as well.

Chapter 4: I also want to keep a low profile. After paying tuition and arranging accommodations, the protagonist officially joins the training institution. Then, someone in the classroom discovers the painting and is once again astonished by its beauty. Not only is the model proud, but so is the instructor. However, when the protagonist descends like a god, he actively requests anonymity, refusing to draw attention to himself.

Chapter 5: The art of being vague is king. Grabbing his painting supplies, he entered the classroom, where the instructor personally guided him. However, years of painting murals in temples had ingrained his thinking, and his skills on the art entrance exam were no different from those of a kindergartener. The surrounding sarcasm confirmed this. But then, a slap in the face came so quickly. However, one girl offered some kind advice and a little flirtation.
【Brief Comment】

Fine arts has always been a very obscure field.

Especially for traditional college entrance examination candidates, especially for someone like me who can even take photos that make living people look dead, it is like a god, hanging high in the sky.

Therefore, in the spirit of exploring and studying the mysterious field, I have been following this book. It is really a large-scale fragrant scene~
First, the writing is truly excellent. Most literary authors are adept at boasting and flaunting their knowledge. But the author of this book is exceptionally adept at both whimsical stunts and driving. He always brews up a wave of petty-bourgeois swagger, then floors the accelerator, drives the car onto the Fifth Ring Road, and manages to land safely before the police notice he's speeding. Of course, readers are even more eager for the feeling of soaring into the air.

Secondly, the characters are incredibly lifelike. The male protagonist, with his wolfish build and youthful looks, naturally carries the aura of a protagonist, easily captivating countless junior and senior students. Crucially, the girls in this book are truly beautiful, with distinct personalities, looks, and figures. While they're not unforgettable or instantly recognizable, they at least leave vivid images in our minds. They're beautiful, but they all revolve around the protagonist, which is a bit annoying.
Finally, the plot is incredibly satisfying. How can art fiction, without systems or cheat codes, be as pretentious and slapstick as fantasy, xianxia, ​​and supernatural powers? It can only rely on the protagonist's powerful artistic skills, the casual genius of his paintings, the understated luxury yet seemingly clueless, the ability to remain composed while a beautiful woman throws herself at him, the ability to live with his girlfriend privately while avoiding speeding, and so on, to demonstrate: pretentiousness is the way to go, anytime, anywhere!

【Make complaints】

The usual complaints.

Never start a harem. It's not only dangerous, but also disgusting.

When it comes to relationships, one must be faithful and unwavering. Emotional infidelity must also be prohibited.

Men should not only be responsible for their careers, but also for their own feelings, and even more so for the feelings of others.

"No initiative, no refusal, no responsibility"!
No one like this will have a good ending.

If you don’t believe it, you can go and take a look at the stories in the entertainment industry next door.

However, I believe that the protagonist Wan Changsheng will stick to his bottom line in life.

As long as you stick with it, even if it ends up being a novel without a female protagonist, there will still be many people following this book.

【to sum up】

"The people's yearning for a better life is our goal."

These seemingly simple words, which contain profound truths about people's livelihood, are fully reflected in this book.

The era of great beauty is the era we are in now.

Positive energy can not only be shouted out, but also drawn!
Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to endorse “The Devil of Collapse”!
