Chapter 24: Turnaround
"What do you mean?"
At this moment, Cao Xiang was not calm, his pupils contracted, and his breathing was a little rapid. At this moment, his heart was full of shock and felt incredible.
But this didn't prevent him, and he yelled excitedly at Bai Ye: "Your turning point is coming, he wants to pull you." ”
"Really?"
Bai Ye was very calm: "Don't get excited, go back first." ”
Under his reassurance, Cao Xiang took a deep breath and immediately waved his hand: "Get in the car." ”
The car was brisk and onto the road.
On the way, Cao Xiang still couldn't help it, and asked, "How did you do it?"
"What?"
Bai Ye raised his eyes, puzzled.
"It's still loaded. ”
Cao Xiang said disdainfully: "You know, you are in the Zhonghai Academy of Fine Arts, you are suspended halfway, and you don't have a graduation certificate at all." After that, you became a bit famous in the art world, and the school recognized you as a 'well-known' alumnus. ”
"But you're an alumnus, and you don't have any foundation at all. So when you were scolded, no one in the school stood up to help you, but scolded you together. ”
"If you have a diploma, it's completely different, it's your own person in the school. Whoever dares to scold you again must first weigh his own weight, whether he is qualified or not, and whether he has the guts. ”
"The school is the biggest backer. ”
Cao Xiang said with emotion: "This is also why, Mr. Li did everything possible, and even took advantage of favors, to arrange for you to give a speech at school." To put it bluntly, I hope you can still keep a little connection with the school. ”
"But I never thought you would be able to go further. ”
Cao Xiang was surprised: "What kind of medicine did you take, so that the dean of the dean accepted you again." It seems that I plan to give you a graduation certificate, which is incredible. ”
"It's not acceptance, it's solicitation, understand?" Bai Ye said with a smile, this is also a fact.
The times are different, in the early days of Brancusi's debut, his works were not very accepted, and the public could not appreciate his aesthetic taste, and all kinds of rejection and contempt.
But in this world, the development of art has long passed its initial stage and has become very mature.
What modernism, surrealism, avant-garde...... All kinds of art are taken for granted, eclectic and inclusive.
This is also the reason why a group of experts immediately feel amazed when they see the birds in the sky.
Because they know how to appreciate the piece.
Later, after Bai Ye's explanation, a group of people better understood the connotation of the work. In other words, everyone also knows the idea of Bai Ye's creation, and knows Bai Ye's talent in sculpture.
That's why a few sculptors put down their bodies to make friends with them.
In addition, truly wise people basically understand one thing, and no matter how amazing the work is, it is also created by people. So although the work itself is worth marveling, it is the creator who is more important.
Talent is the key.
If you have someone, are you afraid that you won't have a work?
Lao Deng Tou, as the dean of the Zhonghai Academy of Fine Arts, the School of Sculpture and Public Art, probably also loved talents, and decided to give Bai Ye a chance to pull him.
After all, talent is rare.
Of course, this is the result of Cao Xiang's own analysis, and he is not sure whether this is the case or not.
All in all, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
So he blocked Bai Ye's boasting, and his expression was a little serious: "So you really decided to give up oil painting and concentrate on the development of the sculpture industry?"
"Isn't it okay?" Bai Ye said nonchalantly.
“…… Yes. ”
Cao Xiang reminded: "It's just that you have to think about it clearly, although they are also artists, the status of painters and their popularity are vaguely higher than that of sculptors......
Not only is it a line higher, it is clearly much higher.
In the original time and space, everyone is familiar with the great painters, even ordinary people, can list a bunch of them. But when it comes to sculptors, it is estimated that there is no slap in the face.
And in the art market, the price of famous paintings is overwhelming sculptures. Some famous paintings can sell hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, and sculptures can sell for tens of millions, which is already the highest transaction record.
Bai Ye naturally knew this, but he didn't care, "I also want to paint, but the current situation is that no one buys my paintings...... I also want to have a good meal, and the artist is not a fairy, so he can't drink the northwest wind. ”
Cao Xiang glanced at Bai Ye and drove silently.
He felt that Bai Ye was a little insincere, but there was no evidence.
But......
He really didn't expect that Bai Ye's idea of finding another way seemed to have a tendency to succeed. Now his headache is, if Bai Ye really has a firm foothold in the sculpture industry, then what will he do?
He is certainly not as familiar with the sculpture industry as he is with the oil painting industry.
Don't know if it's too late to start studying?
Hey, it's not a good thing that the artists we work with can cross borders.
Happiness worries!
Therefore, Cao Xiang is still young. I don't know if for Bai Ye, whether it's a sculpture or an oil painting, there is no need to choose. Children only choose, adults definitely want everything.
……
The next day, Cao Xiang came to the apartment, and only then did he plan to take Bai Ye to the Zhonghai Academy of Fine Arts. However, before leaving, a phone call came and made the two change their itinerary.
After a morning of delay, they arrived at the China Overseas Academy of Fine Arts after the afternoon.
Came to China Overseas Academy of Fine Arts again......
Well, at least for Bai Ye, this is his second time. Compared with last time, his mentality this time is completely different. When the mood is comfortable, even the pace becomes relaxed and happy.
He strolled around the campus and spent his time enjoying the scenery in the garden.
It's mostly about finding your way......
Sculpture Academy, where is it?
Bai Ye lifted his sunglasses and paid attention to the signs on the side of the road.
He couldn't help but smile, and saw a sturdy young man walking with a few classmates under the nearby teaching building, talking and laughing, so comfortable.
Seeing this situation, Bai Ye stepped forward with an arrow, and his friend called: "Daqi, Chen Daqi!"
Brush......
The eyes of several people converged.
Hearing the voice, Chen Daqi was stunned at first, and then saw Bai Ye.
In an instant, his face darkened, and he turned to leave. It's just that his movements are still slow, and Bai Ye has already come to his side, enthusiastically hooking his palm on his shoulder, looking like a good brother.
"Oh, don't you be happy to see me? Bai Ye smiled and said, "You asked me to come yesterday, and I will come right away without saying a word, it's interesting enough." ”
When a few people next to him heard it, they subconsciously felt.
Oh, friends.
At that moment, several people smiled, waved their hands at Chen Daqi, signaled, and were about to leave.
"Eh......"
Chen Daqi was anxious and struggled.
At this moment, Bai Ye whispered in his ear: "Be careful, don't show your stuff, I have a bad reputation, if you let everyone know that you are mixed with me, you can figure out the consequences yourself......"
Chen Daqi suddenly didn't move, he had a sad and angry expression, "What do you want to do?"
Bai Ye smiled: "Do me a favor and take me to Dean Deng." ”
"He's upstairs, won't you go yourself?" Chen Daqi was about to blow up.
"No, it won't. ”
Bai Ye shook his head and said frankly: "The school building is too complicated, I'm afraid I won't find the place!"
He didn't lie, this teaching building should be the handiwork of a famous architect, not only the appearance is atmospheric, but the shape is full of artistry. The layout of the interior space is also very exquisite.
If you're not familiar with it, you might get lost.
But these words, in Chen Daqi's eyes, were Chi Guoguo's lies.
I've been reading for two years, but I still don't know the way, so I'm a liar.
"Huh!"
He sneered, and when he saw a few friends walking away, he gritted his teeth and said, "Bai Ye, don't go too far." ”
"Excessive?"
Bai Ye looked Chen Daqi up and down, with a strange expression: "Are we classmates?"
"It's not. ”
Chen Daqi said with a straight face: "You dropped out of school." ”
"It used to be. ”
Bai Ye hooked Chen Daqi and walked towards the stairs step by step, "A classmate, a friendship with classmates, a lifelong friendship, don't care so much...... Take me to the dean. ”
“…… Let go, bastard. ”
Chen Daqi struggled to no avail, and stumbled and stumbled.
Cao Xiang followed behind, hiding the emotion in his heart with a cold face.
The white leaves have become so thorough, it is simply from one extreme to the other. From the previous arrogance, impulsiveness, and immaturity, to the current sleek, shameless, and shameless......
That's nice!
