talked to Lao Liu of the Artists Association on the phone, and what Lao Liu said was quite clear, he recognized the mechanism recommended by this expert, but the Artists Association did not and did not promote this matter.

"We're just going to do it, and it's impossible not to talk to you. ”

That's what Lao Liu said.

"Lao Liu is quite realistic," Lin Haven smiled with Chang Shuo: "It's not the meaning of the Artists Association, maybe some people are pulling the banner." ”

In fact, it is not difficult to understand this, art is originally to promote the old and the young, who does not have a few juniors who want to carry it? Even Lin Haven himself, there are also the disciples of the Wicked Valley. But the problem is that not all of these juniors have the level of Tangcheng Building, and they still want to be able to participate in the competition gilded - but according to the rules of the Yellow Emperor Exhibition, in the quota of each family, if people with insufficient standards enter, it is inevitable that they will be criticized. Not to mention retail investors, if the level is not enough, they will not be able to pass the level of the event expert group at all.

That's why those people came up with a back door, and they wanted to rely on experts to recommend this kind of no threshold way to plug people in - in fact, this is also an unspoken rule of similar competitions around the world.

"Just follow our original idea of issuing a charter. Lin Haven didn't take those people to heart: "The unspoken rules can't be on the table." ”

“...... There are still a few people who can speak," Chang Shuo hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not good to be so unkind." ”

"Who are the people?" Lin Haven was curious, Chang Shuo didn't particularly care about these crooked people in China, he would be so entangled, it was a little strange: "Fu Yuan?"

Thinking about it, Fu Yuan, the former chairman of the Artists Association, can be regarded as Lin Haiwen's old rival with Chang Shuo, and his weight is enough-and if Chang Shuo doesn't take him seriously, it will inevitably make people think that he has a personal vendetta.

"Fu Yuan is one too, but he doesn't care," Chang Shuo waved his hand, whether he had a personal grudge or not, he didn't care at all, in a sense, he was very similar to Lin Haiwen's temperament: "Huang Hexing, Xu Delin, do you know these two names?"

"I don't know. ”

"......" Chang Shuo couldn't help it, rolled his eyes, and was actually quite breathless.

Huang Hexing and Xu Delin, both in their nineties, are the first generation of oil painters in China, although they are a little younger, they are the same generation as many masters. However, their artistic achievements are not very good, and they rely on their qualifications to survive to a level that is not up to the bottom. However, these two are the veterans of the domestic art academy system after the founding of the People's Republic of China - they are the first secretary of the oil painting department of CAFA after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the first deputy secretary of the academy of Gome.

"Oh~~, which means that they have a bunch of disciples and grandchildren?"

"It should be said that in the 20 years from the founding of the People's Republic of China to their resignation, the students who studied in these two colleges were considered their students...... Let's just say that if you are in the back, you have to call the old secretary anyway. ”

How did you blow up such two old turtles.

"What's the matter, they have grandchildren who do this?"

"Yes," Chang Shuo confirmed: "And those who can speak, they have to be almost scolded by you in the past few years, including Fu Yuan, who is just a foil this time, and those people have no choice, what is the idea of digging out the two old men, I'm afraid it's not as simple as this exhibition competition." ”

Lin Haven understood.

His current status in the domestic painting world is a little invincible. The auction price of "Black Dragon Pond" is absolutely undoubted, and the authority of Sotheby's and New York auctions is not comparable to that of Hong Kong City and Huaguo Guardian. Outside of the market, this year's invitation to the Venice Biennale is the first of its kind among Asian painters, and it is the beginning of the history of Oriental artists' counter-offensive in Europe and the United States.

How could these people in the country be willing to give up power - even if there is inevitably a great god on their heads, they still hope to be able to hold on to part of the territory. This is the need for Lin Haven not to eat all, and generally speaking, there is no winner-take-all tradition in Chinese culture. But Lin Haven is an atypical Chinese, who is unforgiving, and for so many years, his peers have always conscientiously competed with him for the right to speak, but he has never succeeded once, and he has retreated again and again.

This time, it is clearly a new round of action.

The ancestors were all dug up.

At Fu Yuan's house, Tu Gang of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts was also talking about this: "Do you think Lin Haven can sell the face of those two?"

Those two, of course, refer to the two old men Huang Hexing and Xu Delin, but Tu Gang's tone is not so certain, obviously he is not sure, these two peach and plum are all over the world, can they suppress Lin Haiwen: "Speaking of which, Lin Haven is also a student of Huang Hexing." ”

"Lin Haven is his student," Fu Yuan pouted, he was a student of Huang Hexing - when he was studying at CAFA, Huang Hexing was the leader of the oil painting department: "I'm afraid Lin Haven is not so easy to follow, he doesn't care about these rules." ”

"I think he still keeps his duty as a disciple to Lu Songhua and Chang Shuo. ”

"Can that be the same?" Fu Yuan really didn't want to say it, but looking at Tu Gang's small appearance, he simply forgot it: "If he can put Huang Hecheng as an old secretary in his eyes, I am also the old dean of CAFA, when do you think he gave me face?"

“...... Oh yes. ”

It's your size.

"But this thing, we still have to do it, otherwise it won't take a few years, the mountains and rivers will change color," Fu Yuan himself has experienced this kind of thing, the change of the former Soviet style in China is a living lesson, today to count those domestic oil painting masters, how many are the former Soviet style?

If he really catches Lin Haven, I'm afraid that if he counts the masters in a few decades, he won't even think about it.

Chinese people talk about their names before and after, which is why Fu Yuan and the old men are always tossing.

"Didn't Old Huang say that he wanted to meet Chang Shuo?" Fu Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "The old man doesn't seem to know anything, he bypassed Lin Haven and went directly to Chang Shuo, Chang Shuo is always a little easier to talk to." ”

"Chang Shuo is the chairman of the organizing committee, and it's just right. ”

Fu Yuan sighed: "I'm afraid that Lin Haven won't let them get their wish." ”

"He must always consider Chang Shuo's thoughts. ”

"Who knows how their master and apprentice communicate, Chang Shuo may not be willing to take care of this mess. ”

Fu Yuan was right, soon, Chang Shuo received an invitation from Huang Hexing, Chang Shuo himself was also a student of CAFA, when he was studying, Huang Hexing had retired, and the two actually didn't know each other very well. So when you meet, it's inevitable that you will be a little embarrassed and rusty.

But when Lin Haven appeared behind Chang Shuo with a smile, this bit of embarrassment and rustiness was nothing, more - hell.
