"Lectures?

Hearing that Lei Yutong wanted to take himself to the lecture, Li Huayong didn't care about it at first. There are all kinds of reports and lectures in the university, Li Huayong has learned them when he was a student, and he was already in the mid-nineties when he was in college in his last life, and there were so many lectures in the university at that time, not to mention the current era, Li Huayong estimated that listening to lectures in this era is a fashionable thing, and Lei Yutong would think of calling himself.

Lei Yutong stood in front of Li Huayong, with a pair of smart eyes that seemed to be able to speak. She said to Li Huayong:

It is an academic lecture entitled "Western Architectural Art Aesthetics and Comparison of Chinese and Western Architecture". ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Huayong was a little interested, and he smiled and said to the two beauties in front of him: "It seems that the speaker is still a big bull, and ordinary people don't dare to talk about such a big topic." ”

This time, it was Zhao Shujun who picked up Li Huayong's words: "Yes, the poster says that today's lecture is a world-renowned architectural expert, and he is a doctor of architecture from Harvard University." ”

Hearing this, Li Huayong's interest became stronger and stronger, and he didn't say whether the guy who gave the lecture today was "world-famous", but he knew that just with the name of "Harvard Doctor", it was still very capable of bluffing people in the current country. thought that there was nothing to do this afternoon anyway, and besides, it was still two beauties who had an appointment, so Li Huayong was as good as a stream;

"Okay, then let's listen to the lecture in the afternoon, just so that I, a rough person, can also receive cultural edification. ”

Speaking of this, Li Huayong said to Lin Kai on the other side:

"How about Xiao Kai, you Xiangjiang farmer, do you want to go with me to edify and edify? ”

"Okay, well, I've wanted to be edified for a long time. ”

Lin Kai readily agreed, and even Li Huayong didn't care at all when he called him a farmer in Xiangjiang. Of course, Li Huayong knows that he doesn't really want to accept any "cultural edification", and he has been a little impatient with Li Huayong to run the Planning Institute in the past few days, and he has long been a little impatient in the face of those boring data every day. However, today is different, today there are beautiful women on the side, not so much about cultural edification, but rather that he wants to accept the edification of beautiful women.

The four of them left the guest house and went to the place where the lecture was held, which was a lecture hall in a teaching building, the kind that is common in universities. When the four of them arrived, the lecture had not yet begun, but at this time, there were already many people gathered at the door, and judging by their age, these people had students and teachers.

Since this is a highly professional academic lecture after all, most of the people who come to listen to the lecture may be teachers and students of civil engineering and architecture, and when the four people arrived, many people came to greet Lei Yutong and Zhao Shujun, Li Huayong happened to see a poster about this lecture posted at the door of the lecture hall, so he stopped to watch.

“.... Speaker: Kong Yujian, a famous scholar, graduated from Harvard University and received a Ph.D. in landscape architecture from Harvard University..."

Just seeing this, Li Huayong was happy, and said in his heart that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, but he could actually meet this strange man in the industry here today?

Well, it seems a little too much to say that Dr. Kong is a strange person in the industry, no matter how you say that this person is also a powerful person, it's still early, and the name of a Harvard doctor may not explain anything, if it is a few decades later, then look at the name of this guy, then it can really blind many people's eyes.

First of all, Dr. Kong became Professor Kong, and this "professor" was not an ordinary professor, but became a doctoral supervisor of one of the top universities in China, a "Changjiang Scholar", and a senior talent of the "Thousand Talents Introduction Program". Well, Dr. Kong later attained the highest status when he was elected a member of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences shortly before Li Huayong crossed over.

But such a bullish American academician was later deflated when he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and he was not elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

To be honest, Li Huayong can remember this old man, and that's because of this incident. Because the reason for his defeat was unique and fierce, he was boycotted by more than 20 peers in the industry at that time, and those respected peers directly wrote to the selection committee of the Academy of Engineering academicians to oppose his election, which led to his final defeat.

To say that in the academic circles of our country, all kinds of tearing are also very common, but it is very rare to tear so violently that they directly tear the skin of the face in the end. But such a fierce tear is happening in the architectural world.

As a person in the construction industry, Li Huayong first stated his position, and in this tearing up, he stood on the side of most of his peers. As for the reason, as long as you have heard the "quotations" of Dr. Confucius, or understand what he has done, you may be able to know a little bit about it:

“.... Is Mr. Liang Sicheng a master architect? Hehe, I think some are reluctant, although Mr. Liang is famous, but I ask you to think about it, how many design works Mr. Liang left behind? It seems that there are not many, his works are less, there are fewer classic works, try to ask such a person, how can he be qualified to be called a master architect...."

Another time, at a meeting of the International Federation of Landscape Architects held in the United States, this old man talked about the Suzhou gardens in our country: "... Hehe, a classical Chinese garden like the Humble Administrator's Garden, is full of a kind of "small foot aesthetics" of agricultural civilization...."

What is even more excessive is that at that conference, Dr. Confucius openly put the Suzhou garden and the Chinese women's footcloth in the feudal era on the same picture for corresponding publicity, which is extremely derogatory and insulting.

Well, it's because this guy likens classical Chinese garden art to "small foot aesthetics". Therefore, later, his personal philosophy was called "Bigfoot Aesthetics", and he was also called "Bigfoot" by his peers.

"Today I actually came to listen to Kong Dajiao's academic report......"

Standing in front of the poster at the door of the lecture hall, Li Huayong suddenly had a sense of irony, and at the same time, he immediately lacked interest in the next academic lecture.

Because in Li Huayong's mind, this old man is a villain who likes to slander and slander his country's cultural heritage on various occasions to grandstand, and basically has no bottom line and discipline.

"Well, in terms of discipline, it is similar to those "public knowledge" in later generations, but in terms of level and ability, this guy is still much stronger than ordinary "public knowledge"......"

Before the lecture began, Li Huayong gave such an evaluation to the soon-to-be-staged brother in his heart. At this moment, Li Huayong thinks that his evaluation should be relatively objective. Why is this guy a grade higher than the ordinary "public knowledge"?

Because most of the ordinary "public knowledge" often only have mouth cannons, but no works of their own. But this guy is different, this guy not only has a mouthpiece, but also has his own works, not only works, but also many works, and more importantly, this guy's works can also frequently win awards---- otherwise everyone thinks that people's titles such as "Changjiang Scholar" and "American Academician" are picked up casually?

But despite this, Li Huayong still doesn't think much of this guy, because as a traverser, Li Huayong is very clear about the details of those awards he won.

In real history, this dude won two characteristics of the award, one is that the truly world-class influential architecture award has nothing to do with him. Using the more familiar film awards as an example, the "Oscar" must not have his share, the "Big Three in Europe" is also difficult for him to get along, and even the regional "Golden Statue" and "Golden Horse", he has basically never won any major awards, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, he has never won it, he mainly won some unimportant technical awards or "Best Newcomer" and the like.

The second feature of his award is that the awards he won are basically from the United States, and it is basically difficult for his works to win any awards when they go out of the United States to other places. As for what are the qualities of those architectural awards in the United States? To be honest, as an industry insider, Li Huayong thinks that if he doesn't mention it, it is estimated that it will be comparable to Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Claydon University."

But then again, it's enough to have some pheasant awards, and in real history, it is precisely because of these pheasant awards that this guy is very popular. The main reason why Li Huayong looks down on this old man is also in this place.

Because from a certain point of view, he and Li Huayong are still the same way. For example, in order to sell that kind of marble, Li Huayong asked Sister Lin Wei to go to Europe to brush up on awards, which is the same way as this old man's previous life.

And the only difference between this is: Li Huayong went to Europe to brush up on awards, he was ready to make money from foreigners. In real history, this guy won awards in the United States and made a fortune in China.

As long as he thinks about it like this, Li Huayong thinks that his contempt is justified, and standing in front of that poster, he even has an inexplicable sense of superiority.

It's just a pity that when Li Huayong just had that sense of superiority, his feeling was disturbed. It was no one else who interfered with him, it was Lei Yutong and Zhao Shujun, two beauties.

"Brother Yong, what are you thinking?"

It was Zhao Shujun who said this, and she even patted Li Huayong on the shoulder when she spoke.

Li Huayong looked back, and at this time he found that there were several more people behind him, in addition to Lei Yutong, Zhao Shujun, Lin Kai, and two more.

One of them has seen it, it was the girl named Su Qing that night, and in addition, there was a boy who looked quite good.

Li Huayong felt that this boy was a little strange, he stared at him with an unknown look, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to himself:

"Hello, my name is Tang Hongjun. ”
