Chapter 38 Section VII

The story of Fumiko Jiujing's injury finally spread to the world of ink painting.Although it did not appear in the newspapers, the rumors spread like wildfire. To put it a bit exaggerated, this news caused an uproar in the ink painting circle, especially the modern ink painting circle.So far, there has never been a woman like Fumiko Hisai who can keep pace with Kejuko Takimura. Originally, the world of ink painting was different from the world of general painting and sculpture, and it did not attract much attention in society.It was only after the appearance of two new female painters, Kasuko Takisuke and Fumiko Hisui, that they suddenly attracted the attention of the society. It is quite ironic that "ink painting" has become the darling of the press and re-recognized by the society through the hands of these two figures who were denied by the orthodox.

Of course, there are also so-called "great masters" and a group of key painters in this field, including members of the art academy, and the competition among various factions is also quite fierce.However, none of them have attracted the attention of society in the past. Therefore, in a sense, these two women have contributed to the social recognition of ink painting.However, within it, the evaluation of them has always been low, with both vicious words and cynicism.In a word, their works are neither paintings nor art, but their beauty aroused the interest of journalists.That is to say, they have the skills of actresses.This is what critics agree with both of them.

Although the gossip about Jiujing Fumiko being sprinkled with sulfuric acid and hospitalized spread, the gossip did not mention who the murderer was.It seems that this point has been wonderfully sidestepped. However, one can imagine that there is a suspicious relationship between men and women hidden behind this incident.Wenzi is so beautiful, besides dealing with people in the ink painting circle, there are probably other men who are good friends.It is reasonable for people to speculate like this.Critics applaud it secretly.No matter in anyone's eyes, the downfall of Jiujing Fumiko is obvious.

The question now is how Ichizawa will handle this matter.This tycoon who occupies one side of the financial world plays the role of Hisai Fumiko's patron, which has become a fact that cannot be concealed.Therefore, this question is of great interest. Ichizawa Yusuke is a veteran of playing with women, and this has become a fixed comment.Among the women he has played with in the past are actresses, geishas, ​​and restaurant proprietors.If Fumiko Hisai left ugly scars on her face in this incident, then Ichisawa's love for her would cool down quickly.Originally, it was impossible for Shi Zeyongliang to have any love in his heart, so when a woman's face was destroyed, his enthusiasm for her would drop rapidly.

In short, things have become very interesting, which is the common view of the ink painting circle and people familiar with this field. As a result, some journalists immediately ran to Takimura Kasukiko. Coincidentally, Takimura Kejuko met them at the ikebana hall of the avant-garde ikebana Fukai Liubei.In this avant-garde salon, she is surrounded by well-meaning journalists, answering their questions with a nonchalant smile. "I also heard that Fumiko Kui was injured. Isn't this a rumor?" On the surface, it seems that this kind of statement has doubts about the facts and took care of the competitor's face, but her original intention was just the opposite.

"If this is true," she said first, making the premise, "it's unfortunate for Hisai-kun. She's always been so innocent, isn't she! Question, I think it's a big blow to her personally. I never thought of it." "What will happen to Hisai-kun's art?" someone asked. "I really don't know how to answer you for asking such a question. I'm afraid it's difficult for others to answer this question except myself." She looked at the reporter with beautiful eyes and said. "However, since Jiui-kun has created his own art, even if the rumors are all true, Jiui-kun won't just disappear from the painting world, right?"

The questioner continued to ask. "Well, I don't think Hisai-kun's ink paintings are avant-garde works or art. But..." "That's right. You have always held this view. Leaving aside the evaluation of her works, what I want to ask is whether Jiujing-kun can continue such things in the future?" "Yes." She said with a smile on her face, "she is a strong person, so I want to continue. It is said that sulfuric acid in the eyes may cause blindness, not only for those who are engaged in painting, but for everyone. There is nothing more unfortunate than the loss of eyesight. However, she has a stubborn personality and can find ways to overcome this difficulty. Beethoven was deaf, but still composed immortal pieces, and even though he was blind in one eye, he achieved brilliant academic achievements. Ha ha ha ha."

She sneered as she spoke. "But in the field of painting, if you are blind, you can't do anything." The questioner stared at one sentence. "Could it be what you said?" She tilted her head and said after thinking for a moment, "I don't think so." "Oh why?" 'Well, because those great men like I just mentioned have accomplished superhuman performances respectively.Even if you are blind, you can practice drawing with your fingers.If you get used to drawing, you can draw images with a pen even if you can't see them.Didn't someone write Yu with a pen in his mouth after losing his arms? "

"You're right." "Of course, that's rare, and it can also be said to be a kind of acrobatics or juggling." The audience was taken aback by Takimura's last stinging remark. She had never made such a sinister criticism of Hisunami Fumiko before. "However, I always feel that, no matter what, Hisai Fumiko will disappear because of this. The only female painter left is you Takimura Kejuko. What do you think about this?" Someone asked a question to please her. "Well, from the very beginning, I didn't take Jiujing-kun as a problem. Therefore, whether she is healthy or encounters such misfortune, it has nothing to do with me. Everyone has always regarded Jiujing Fumiko and me as competitors , I've always been very unhappy about it. So I think it's not that I'm left alone, but it's just me from the start."

"It is said that Fumiko Hisai's former sponsor, Ryo-kun Ichizawa, has severed ties with her." Some people said it was unnecessary. "Oh, I think Ichizawa-san was too good in the past. Breaking up may make Hisai-kun uncomfortable, but I think Ichizawa-san's approach is wise. If we continue to communicate, Ichizawa-san's prestige will decrease. Maybe it's unnecessary Yes, but I'm a little worried." Shenjing Liubei sat cross-legged on a chic chair with Nordic folk art style, with a pipe in his mouth, listening to their answers with great interest.
