The old fans on this side were greatly amused by Tang Shu’s words, whereas the atmosphere in the neighboring live streaming room was the complete opposite.
Once Tang Shu’s altered voice reached the other broadcasting room, Kitty’s fans also blew up.
[What the hell, so arrogant???]
[Who is this person, can’t they speak properly?! Our Kitty was just being polite, yet this guy climbs up the pole, how can your face be so big?]
[A man who disrespects women must definitely not have a wife or kids, right?]
[Such a person should stay single for life. Our Kitty is so beautiful— is there no etiquette in how you speak, at all?]
[An old man who feels he’s really something, that kind of creepy guy, assessment complete.]
[So good at putting on airs, eh? Not sure if he can really paint. Kitty, ask him a tough question, crush him to death!]
The fans were quite brazen, but Kitty, who always sought stability, was already feeling jittery.
It hadn’t been easy for her to get to this point, and she really had worked hard on her painting. Of course, being a broadcaster with several millions of fans, her looks indeed helped a lot.
Asking was inevitable.
But asking required finesse—should she just politely seek advice to attract a wave of traffic and then leave, or should she slam the other party to the ground and rise above them?
Kitty signaled her work team behind the screen with her eyes, and they gave her a reassuring look.
"Teacher She truly is a master, then I’ll ask now. This is a painting I did before, I’d like to ask the teacher for some critique~~~~"
The next instant, the work team uploaded Kitty’s proudest painting into the live streaming room.
On this side, the work team also discussed quietly among themselves for a moment.
"This is Kitty’s proudest painting, sending it over will really heat things up. Are you sure this is okay?"
"Don’t worry, it’s fine. That She & Give has high traffic, they even made the trending list before New Year’s. With such high traffic right in front of us, who wouldn’t ride on it?"
Unless they were fools!
"But... what if Kitty’s painting gets critiqued too harshly and we can’t save face, wouldn’t the fans be affected too?"
"I just checked out She & Give’s Weibo and looked at his previous works. His main job is about medicinal herbs, and traditional Chinese painting is just a side job. Moreover... painting on a small porcelain bottle, I really couldn’t appreciate what was good about it, just a gray, hazy mess."
Coincidentally, the work this staff member saw was Tang Shu’s painting on an unfired small porcelain bottle.
Coloring before firing required more sophistication than painting on finished products, but indeed, the painting didn’t look very aesthetic, and calling it a gray clump wasn’t far off.
"Is that so? Then I’m relieved."
The others patted their chests and settled their hearts back into their stomachs, quietly waiting for the live streaming room’s traffic to increase.
When that best painting arrived on Tang Shu’s screen, she, who was painting, gave it a few looks and began a sharp critique.
"The strokes on this landscape painting are not bad, but the brushwork lacks sharpness. The essence of a landscape painting lies in its Artistic Conception, not in resemblance, yet you have abandoned this concept. It does have some characteristics of contemporary oil painting, but it lacks some of the texture of Chinese painting."
Between the lines, the combination of the two styles seemed too forced.
Upon hearing this, Kitty’s heart skipped a beat, and her face showed signs of nervousness.
This person really did understand painting, pinpointing her weaknesses in just a few words.
