Lao Chen Gold Medal Lobster.

This store is located near the university where Shi Ran is studying. In the past, anyone in the school would choose this store for birthdays and parties.

Shi Ran asked Sun Changtian to have dinner last night, and Sun Changtian offered to come to this restaurant. He missed Lao Chen's lobster.

It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and it was still dark.A white and green taxi stopped in front of Lao Chen Jinpai Lobster Shop, Shi Ran got off the co-pilot and walked straight into the shop.

The air conditioner in the store was turned on as usual, Shi Ran followed the strange waitress into the hall that seemed to be full of people.

The hall was filled with smoke and voices.Shi Ran had just taken two steps when a familiar figure walked towards him.

"Hey, the great painter is here, how are you doing recently?"

It was the proprietress of this store who was talking, she was already in her 40s, but she still had a charm, she looked like she was in her 30s.Because they came here often when I was studying, people like Shi Ran are quite familiar with the proprietress.

When Shi Ran won the first prize in the National College Art Competition, he had a party here. The proprietress asked Shi Ran for his paintings to pay for the meal under the booing of Shi Ran's classmates.Shi Ran drew a vivid family portrait for the proprietress based on his impression of the proprietress's family through the wine.

That painting is still hanging on the wall behind the cashier. In the words of the proprietress, when Shi Ran becomes famous, she will sell it for money.

"Sister He," Shi Ran said, "I'm still the same as before, and your business here is getting better and better."

Shi Ran chatted with the proprietress for a few words, and asked with a smile: "Is that long hair like a ruffian here? It's the one who used to like to have long hair, a big wave, and very dark skin."

The proprietress smiled and pointed to the window seat: "Nuo, it's there, I'll take you there."

Shi Ran followed the proprietress's finger and saw Sun Changtian sitting by the window.

The two haven't seen each other for a while, but this kid still has the same kind of virtue - every time he sits by the window, he will hold a half-full wine glass and turn his head to look at the various passers-by outside the window at a 45-degree angle, with a melancholy, Sad look.

In fact, this kid has a melancholy fart. He simply thinks that doing this is more in line with his temperament as a painter, and it is easier to attract the attention of the little girl Wen Qing.

Shi Ran walked to the table and knocked on the table: "Hey, put it away, I'm here."

Sun Changtian wore pigtails, and his hairstyle was somewhat similar to Liu Huan's.When he saw Shi Ran, he immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "It's so late to invite someone to dinner, I'll punish myself with three cups first."

With that said, Sun Changtian filled a glass of beer and pushed it in front of Shi Ran.

Shi Ran picked up the wine glass and clinked with Sun Changtian, and asked, "Any dishes?"

"It's ordered, it's still the same," Sun Changtian turned his head and said to the proprietress, "Sister He, there's no one left, it's just me and him, we can serve."

"Okay, wait a minute," the proprietress smiled and nodded at Shi Ran and Sun Changtian, then turned and left.

Shi Ran filled Sun Changtian's cup and said, "I never asked you, how is your company doing now? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, we're on the right track," Sun Changtian raised his glass, "Speaking of which, I have to toast you. If you hadn't lent me 50 yuan last time, my poor company would have disappeared."

"Come on, let's skip this set." Shi Ran took a sip of his wine, ate a peanut, and asked, "Have the other two been in contact recently?"

"Last week or last week, I had a meal with Mingzi. He's a good kid. I found a Bai Fumei, who was obedient to him, let him drive a Porsche worth more than 100 million, tsk tsk..."

Sun Changtian said enviously, "How can such a good thing not happen to me."

"You don't have to pretend to be depressed, it's your turn."

Sun Changtian snorted: "You know me, my temperament is suitable for this. How have you been doing recently? Have you found a girlfriend yet? Is it true that you are just not interested in girls, or is it that?"

"If it's true, it's okay, I don't discriminate against you, as long as you don't think about me."

"Fuck off, when did I say I'm not interested in women? I just don't call them."

"Come on, if they're not good-looking, it's okay if you don't call them. In the past, the campus beauty in senior year was so beautiful and had such a good figure. She chased you like that, and you didn't even call her. There is definitely something wrong with you, I advise you to go to the hospital for an examination and see a psychiatrist."

"If you look good, you have to call. What kind of logic is this?"

Sun Changtian took out his mobile phone and handed it to Shi Ran: "If you don't know a psychiatrist, I have one here. He is one of my clients. I see his circle of friends. He is very professional. May I help you make an appointment with him?"

Shi Ran said helplessly: "Don't worry about it, I have a girlfriend."

"Really?" Sun Changtian looked very excited, "Show me her picture quickly, how beautiful and charming she is, it will make your iron tree bloom."

Just as Shi Ran took out his phone, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have a photo of Liu Shanqing, so he put the phone back and said, "We didn't have a photo of her just now."

"Wechat profile picture, circle of friends, I don't believe she doesn't have circle of friends."

"Really not," Shi Ran said, "I won't talk about this anymore, I asked you to come out this time because I want to ask you something."

"what's up?"

"In terms of self-media," Shi Ran said, "I plan to create an account on Douyin and Kuaishou, and upload my paintings. How should I operate it so that more people can see it in a short time?"

Sun Changtian looked serious, and said: "It's easy to let more people see it in a short period of time, just spend money on promotion, and every platform has a mature promotion mechanism, or buy accounts.

But it’s not enough to just spend money on self-media, you have to have content that retains people.The content is to serve your purpose.

What is your purpose for uploading your drawings?Drainage for the studio? "

"No, I just want more people to see my paintings."

Sun Changtian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let me interview you. What made you want to regain your dream? Your new girlfriend?"

"Let's put it this way."

"No wonder younger siblings can make your iron tree bloom, no one can stand it."

Sun Changtian was a little envious. Those who learned to paint did not want to become painters at first, but the real life made them give up their original dreams, surrender to reality, and only want to make money.

How lucky it was to meet someone who allowed him to regain his dream, the more Sun Changtian thought about it, the more he envied him.

"You have to call her sister-in-law," Shi Ran returned to the topic, and said, "I read on the Internet that the content posted by the account should be vertical. The account is dedicated to painting landscapes, what do you think of this subdivision?"

"You can but don't have to."

"How to say?"

"Since your purpose is to let more people see your paintings, you should fully demonstrate your painting skills. There is no need to divide the types of paintings so rigidly."

Sun Changtian went on to say: "Anyway, you are uploading paintings, as long as the paintings are vertical, it doesn't matter whether you are painting figures, birds, animals, or landscapes."

Shi Ran nodded thoughtfully. What Sun Changtian said made sense, but he was thinking too much.

Sun Changtian hesitated and said: "Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. When you upload a painting, it's best to put more thought into the content of the painting before the painting is formed. Simply upload a finished product, and the content is still an old-fashioned landscape. That doesn't matter. No matter how good your paintings are, few people would like to see them."

Shi Ran said with a smile: "I know, so this is not to discuss with you, what can I paint to show my skills, attract and retain people?"
