As a painter, Leng Jun’s biggest worry is that he cannot find a suitable model. The models that satisfy Leng Jun are often rare. Models are different from utensils. Utensils can be polished, but models must be beautiful. Utensils are easy to come by, but beautiful things are hard to find. This is Leng Jun's embarrassment. Some things were just so accidental that Leng Jun encountered such a golden opportunity. But the girl was nineteen years old, so Leng Jun had no choice but to ask his wife to persuade the girl to become a model. Hard work paid off, and Leng Jun painted a famous painting. What is the story behind Leng Jun’s famous painting?
Everything in this world has a certain degree of contingency and inevitability. After Leng Jun and Ronaldinho completed "Portrait of Ronaldinho", their relationship gradually became better. They became a couple and were very loving. In 2006, Leng Jun stopped painting and entered the "hibernation period" of creation. With a lot of free time, Leng Jun took time to spend more time with Ronaldinho, and the two of them went to a small restaurant near Hankou to eat together. Leng Jun is a workaholic. No matter what time he thinks about work, the problem of modeling has become an urgent problem for him to solve. Suddenly, a girl who was plainly dressed and not very beautiful walked into Leng Jun's field of vision.
Leng Jun was elated, but he was also worried that a middle-aged uncle would inexplicably ask her to be his model, which seemed a bit ridiculous. Ever since, Leng Jun asked his wife Ronaldinho to take action and personally persuade Xiao Tang to become a model. Women still understand women. Leng Jun’s mother-in-law was so eloquent that she actually persuaded Xiao Tang to become a model and left her contact information. As for what exactly was said, Leng Jun didn't say anything, and neither did Ronaldinho. At the very least, leaving your contact information will give you an idea of ??the next work. However, Leng Jun and Ronaldinho didn't think much about it, and the matter passed away.
A few days later, Xiao Tang came to Leng Jun's studio. The little girl is also very thoughtful. She came here with her sister. Leng Jun and his wife treated each other warmly, and Xiao Tang became Leng Jun's model. The author has said before that Leng Jun's creation is a marathon creation. Sometimes a detail is not painted in place, and he can make corrections all day long, often working until late at night. Although the author has not seen Leng Jun's working conditions with his own eyes, he can imagine that it is difficult for Xiao Tang to earn Leng Jun's salary! After arduous creation, Leng Jun's new work "Portrait of Ronaldinho" was completed. Leng Jun worked hard and achieved unprecedented success. The delicate heart of a young Tang Dynasty girl comes to life in Leng Jun's pen. The most eye-catching thing is Leng Jun's consistent hyper-realistic painting method. The patterns on the denim jacket and even the minute woolen ends are all clearly painted.
After the release of Leng Jun’s works, it is said that it attracted Jack Ma’s close attention. Yes, you heard it right, Jack Ma, who has no interest in money, has a soft spot for art. Jack Ma himself is also an artistic person. A piece of calligraphy with the character "Zen" can sell for 1.8 million yuan. It is reasonable and unexpected that Ma Yun was attracted by Leng Jun's famous painting "Little Tang". The price offered by Jack Ma is quite high, reportedly as much as 70 million. If true, this will probably be an insurmountable personal record in Leng Jun's artistic career. However, Leng Jun rejected Ma Yun’s purchase.
This joke between Leng Jun and Jack Ma happened many years ago. After many years, Leng Jun’s paintings have changed from what they used to be. His famous painting "Little Tang" is said to be conservatively worth 90 million, and some even say his stunning painting is worth 100 million. Whether it is 90 million or 100 million, the zeros after the number dazzle even ordinary people. What is very sad is that Ronaldinho, who personally persuaded Xiao Tang, has divorced Leng Jun and is now a stranger to him. As for Xiao Tang, many years later, he went to Inner Mongolia with his boyfriend and lost contact with her. The things in the world are really difficult for people to understand, and the painters are helpless. Perhaps, this is destiny.
