"The winner of the [Best Binding Design] award was ......"

In the silence, the presenter opened the envelope, looked at it, and then leaned his head in front of the microphone and announced:

"Han Jue. ”

Suddenly, the music started.

This is the first award Han Jue won tonight, and the second award presented at the ceremony tonight.

[Best Binding Design] has a relatively small influence, and it is an award that is too lazy to write on the marketing account, but because of the name of the winner, the reaction of the audience is very timely, and the commotion quickly spread.

The opening performance lasted fifteen minutes, and the first prize took four minutes, and now it is only twenty minutes, and the warm-up has not even begun, and the first suspense is about to be revealed.

Everyone looked at the stage. I want to know if Han Jue is there tonight.

In the front row of the seats belonging to [Best Male Singer], Han Jue's seat is vacant, but it is not certain that he definitely did not come. An album, from lyrics and singing, to binding, to music video shorts, is led by Han Jue himself, so the range of nominations is very wide, from the first row to the last row, he has a place to sit, and now I can't find him, and it's hard to say where he really sits, in order to make everyone think that he didn't come. Even he was the winner of last year's Best Songwriter, so he has been waiting backstage and is ready to give people awards.

In the background music, a Sven man in a formal suit and glasses walked out of his seat and walked down the aisle to the stage.

Many people recognized him as Han Jue's agent and the shareholder and manager of Han Jue's studio, Guan Yi.

In the audience at the back of the stage, a small number of girls screamed, making people feel that even Guan Yi had his own fans.

Guan Yi took the trophy from the hand of the presenter, stood still in front of the microphone, and faced all kinds of eyes from the audience, without superfluous words, just said:

"I'm Han Jue's agent. Tonight, all of Han Jue's acceptance speeches will be relayed by me, narrated in the first person. I memorized them all in my head, not on paper, so if I got it wrong later, it must be me. ”

The audience laughed.

Guan Yi said: "He specifically told me not to thank my family, not to thank the judges, not to thank the company, not to thank everyone, because these people have not contributed to his achievements at all." Just thank two people - the agent and God. ”

The person who stepped down laughed and wondered if this sentence would be made up by Guan Yi himself, and Guan Yi on the stage immediately added: "When modern science is helpless, only these two can give me some comfort." ”

It is completely certain that this is what Han Jue himself wrote.

After the laughter stopped, Guan Yi began to convey Han Jue's real acceptance speech for [Best Binding Design]:

"For the award of [Best Binding Design], I have to thank Pei Qing. After getting to know her, she gave me a lot of books about painting to cultivate my artistic literacy, but she never taught me how to paint, she always allowed me to grow wildly, painted whatever I wanted, and then desperately praised me for my talent, and always wanted to pull me into the art world. I was very uneasy and told her to forget it. She said come. I said no. She said, "It's fun to draw and make a lot of money." I said I don't believe it.

After a few years of see-sawing, she finally gave up, and I was a little disappointed, but one day I suddenly realized that my fingernails were soaked with paint that could not be washed off, and they reminded me that my hands could be used to hold paintbrushes in addition to playing instruments and writing scripts. She succeeded.

When I came back to my senses, my house was full of paintings that I had drawn myself. When I was preparing the album, my colleague asked who would design the binding and cover, and I yelled, 'I'll come, I'll come.'" There's no going back, there's no going back.

I thought that painting would distract me and make me impure, but in fact, painting enriched me. I can see the rhythm in a painting, and I can also capture the color in the melody. Images and music are very similar in that they can easily cross borders and go where words can't. So when I set out to design the cover, I naturally thought of it as an extension of the song, hoping to pick out the listeners who would resonate with the music before it even started.

So I want to thank Pei Qing, thank you for teaching me to draw. ”

After Guan Yi finished speaking, he walked off the stage amid applause and laughter.

Tonight's ceremony was in the groove from the start. When Guan Yi read the testimonial, his expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process, which formed a strong contrast with the content he said, which made people listen attentively.

Everyone has also thought about it before, Han Jue has publicly expressed many times that he doesn't like to be awarded and doesn't care about the affirmation or denial of others, so whether his speech will be shocking and unexpected. Either add a topic, or mess up the ceremony, in short, it won't make people guess, being plain and blindly seeking stability is definitely not Han Jue's style.

Sure enough, no one guessed that Han Jue's acceptance speech was so attentive.

After Guan Yi stepped down, everyone was still unsatisfied, and couldn't help but secretly look forward to what kind of testimonials Han Jue would say if he won other awards next.

…………

At 7:30 p.m., Pei Qing was giving a lecture at the Academy of Fine Arts.

As the youngest master in the field of contemporary art, a painting was sold for hundreds of millions of yuan, and she was invited to countless interviews and columns, and Pei Qing was disgusted by the influx of attention, so she only picked a few journalists who had a good relationship before she became famous and a few art critics who were optimistic about her for a long time, and the others all refused.

It was her alma mater that invited her to give a lecture this time, and it was not easy to refuse, Pei Qing knew that he was not the kind of artist with a sharp personality, so he was asked by the old dean and his teacher a few times, and he came.

The largest hall was used for the lecture, and the audience was still full. Most of them are younger students, and the younger half are standing or crowded, and they are painters from other schools or aspiring to be successful.

Pei Qing was born in an artistic family, and he has had a smooth journey since he was a child, without encountering any setbacks and troughs, let alone depressed experiences. If it is made into a movie, it will be a feature film with no conflict points. The only dilemma that can be said to be a bottleneck has also been broken through within a year or two. A year or two is hardly a bottleneck for an artist.

Most of the content shared by Pei Qing is how to transform from a painter with outstanding skills to an artist with his own style and world view during the bottleneck period. In the process of speaking, she inevitably mentioned Han Jue, who inspired her, and praised the world view shown in Han Jue's paintings, which is quite distinctive and valuable, and it is a pity that Han Jue was not able to coax into the art world.

The people here are all proud men who have studied and practiced hard, and they are actually not very convinced that Han Jue, a layman, can easily walk to the top of the mountain beyond their reach.

Some students quietly looked at their mobile phones, and Han Jue's acceptance speech had been converted into text and circulated on Weite, and he was very unhappy with Han Jue's attitude of "I really don't want to enter the art world, but my talent is too high, Pei Qing just won't let me go". When it came to the free questioning session, he raised his hand and asked, if Han Jue really entered the painting world, instead of making any pop songs and commercial movies, would he still be able to make so much money?

As soon as the question came up, some of the other students nodded their heads and wanted to know the answer.

Pei Qing swept the expressions of the crowd, thought about it, and answered the student who asked the question: "You actually have two questions in this sentence. One question is whether Han Jue can make a lot of money by painting. I'll answer you first, yes.

The second question is, why can Han Jue, who is engaged in popular art, make so much money.

When I was talking to an aunt who works in an auction house, I used to say something like this: 'When you buy art, everyone fantasizes about making huge profits in the future.' But in the art industry, the cheapest is actually the most expensive. I give you this sentence. ”

The student was not annoyed, but sat down cynically, sneered and asked: Can he also call those things art?

The scene is about to turn up, and some teachers are ready to reprimand the students, or quickly turn the page to move on to the next question. But Pei Qing generously said to the teacher that it didn't matter, and then thought about it seriously, and said: "In the art world, they look down on popular and popular, and their posture is always very high, just because they think that everything for the public is more or less kitsch, right?"

Many people in the audience nodded silently.

Pei Qing said: "What are we like who are not kitsch? I tried my best to paint a picture, I felt that it was very beautiful, it showed the true meaning of beauty, and I sold it, but no one bought it." Because you're not famous.

The agent said that if you want to raise the price of the painting, either you will have more marketing stories for this painting, and the public will listen to it, and the value will rise, or you will be on a few news and participate in a few programs, and the public will know the name of the painter, and the value will rise again, or you can please the critics and let them write you like the next master, and if you have investment value, the value will also rise.

Finally became famous, and the painting was auctioned for a very high price, and the result was that the money was obtained, but the painting was stored in the rich man's study or living room. Does this rich man necessarily understand what is good about this painting? He may or may not understand it, but it is more likely that he will not understand. Why do these people who don't understand beauty buy paintings? They can sell them at a high price. Money can be laundered. It can be given as an unconventional gift. You can praise other rich people after visiting the door, and you can satisfy the vanity of 'no one else has me'...... Either way, your hard work becomes a tool.

In this process, where is the art?

Isn't it more worthy of pride to be a vassal of the rich and a toy for a few than to become the spiritual food of the masses, to inspire more people to create, to soothe the pain in people's lives, to speak out their inexpressible emotions on their behalf, and to encourage people to live a better life?"

The students in the audience stopped talking.

Pei Qing took a sip of water, softened his tone, and said: "In this era, let alone being an artist, in fact, it is difficult enough to be a good person first."

Han Jue doesn't really care much about whether the things he makes are art or not, whether he is an artist or not. I used to want him to paint, and I used to encourage him. It lasted for two years, and finally he gave up last year, and that time he painted a wonderful picture, and I couldn't help but bury his talent, so I stimulated him, 'What kind of artist do you want to be in the future?', and he replied to me, 'Happy man', and I said he got the wrong question, and he said that I got my life wrong. ”
