"There is actually a big difference between painting and writing. Painting is more concrete. Unlike writing, everyone can have their own interpretation and imagination." Nie Guangyi's topic became more and more in-depth.

"I think so too. "Fu of the Goddess of Luo" is so beautifully written that it's difficult to describe it with specific images. It's not just paintings, but film and television works also have similar situations. No matter who is asked to play Xi Shi or Diao Chan, there will be someone.

They feel that something is missing, or it’s different from what they imagined.”

"Yes, it is difficult to express the expression [as graceful as a startling dragon and graceful as a wandering dragon] through painting."

As the topic deepened, the chat between Nie Guangyi and Meng Xinzhi became more and more natural.

"I once communicated with Gu Kaizhi about this problem in a dream. He also had such troubles when he was painting "Luo Shen Fu Tu"."

"Have you ever communicated with the first named painter in history?"

"Well, in fact, even if there is no communication, we can still get a glimpse of the leopard from the existing Song Dynasty copies of "Luo Shen Fu Tu". Has Mr. Nie ever known Gu Kaizhi?"

"Well, I have read three of his painting treatises: "Praise to Shengliu Paintings of the Wei and Jin Dynasties", "On Painting" and "Painting of Yuntai Mountain". Gu Kaizhi put forward the theory of "expressing the spirit", "keeping the spirit with the form", and "imagining the wonderful things". The painting theories of De] and others laid the foundation for the development of classical painting in my country."

"Indeed, Brother Kaizhi was the first painter to advocate that paintings should express the mental state and character traits of characters."

"More than that, the dynasty he lived in was very turbulent. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, painters did not deserve to have names. They were very low-level jobs. The role of painting at that time was to educate, and it was Gu Kaizhi's theory and practice.

Let painting become an art."

"It turns out that Mr. Nie knows Kaizhi's brother so well. Has Mr. Nie studied the orientation of Kaizhi's brother in historical materials?"

"Why should I study this?"

Nie Guangyi asked directly.

Nie Guangyi's attitude made Meng Xinzhi realize his own problem, which was somewhat abrupt.

After all, Nie Guangyi has never come out publicly.

"Sorry, Mr. Nie, I shouldn't ask such a question."

Meng Xinzhi brought the topic back at the right time: "Kaizhi's brother develops in the direction of spiritual resemblance on the basis of physical resemblance through [Qianxiang Miaode]. His paintings focus on experience and observation, and can best capture the essence of things."

"Ms. Meng, why do you call everyone brother, but you call me Mr. Nie?" Nie Guangyi had no intention of bringing the topic back.

"This question..." Meng Xinzhi said while thinking, "Maybe... others don't call me girl?"

"So that's it. Then it seems like it's my fault. Sister Xin, don't be offended."

The words came out so naturally.

Hearing Nie Guangyi's own ears stirred up another layer of goosebumps.

Nie Guangyi couldn't believe those words came from his own mouth.

By saying this, he made it clear that he wanted Meng Xinzhi to call him brother.

Nie Guangyi has always felt that the most creepy thing is when men and women call each other brother or sister.

I didn't expect that I could scream so naturally.

Facts have proved that the bottom line of human beings is a bottomless pit. As long as you are willing to fall down, you can become a black hole.

Meng Xinzhi could call Brother Leo, Brother Kai, and Brother Ximeng in her dreams, but she couldn't call Nie Guangyi Brother Guangyi.

It's very awkward.

Unless...call her Sister Guangyi.
