Chapter 74: Time Magazine
"Tongzi, look at the current Weibo hot search. ”
The old gun got a laser pointer out of nowhere and pointed to the Weibo hot search list on the wall.
"Now the first hot search on Weibo is #Urinal Art#, the second place is #Taoli Cup Children's Graffiti#, and the third place is #Shen Qianmo's illegitimate daughter#. ”
After the old gun was pointed, he put down the laser pointer, "Tongzi, I didn't say you." You said that Wang Feng wanted to make headlines, why is it so difficult? You easily won the top three!"
"Old gun, you don't stink me. Li Tong put down the coffee cup, "I'm going to take care of my clothes, and I'm hiding my identity and name." ”
"You think. The old gun snorted, "Can those people outside let you go?"
"Then let them go. An artist who is not scolded by no one is not a real artist. Li Tong shrugged, it didn't matter at all.
"That's right. Li Tong seemed to think of something, and asked the old gun, "How is the public opinion about Xiao Tiancheng's award?"
"Sweet orange is nothing. The old gun swiped the ipad, "Most of them say good things." Although many people disagree with the graffiti, Professor William's influence is there, and the comments of netizens in the past two days are positive. ”
"That's good. Li Tong stood up, "You can take care of Xiao Tiancheng's public opinion monitoring, and don't worry about the rest." They love to scold whatever they want. ”
After speaking, Li Tong changed his clothes and planned to go to Shoubo for a walk.
When he arrived at Shoubo, Li Tong met Wang Xiaocong at the door.
Wang Xiaocong was wearing sunglasses, and when he saw Li Tong, he hooked his shoulder and said, "You kid is really good at playing." The whole urinal has been crippled on Weibo, right? I really can't help you this time. ”
"Hey, I don't need your help. Let them go. Li Tong smiled, "But I have something to ask you." ”
"What do you want or not, say!" Wang Xiaocong pushed his sunglasses up.
"It's Shen Qianmo......"
Before Li Tong could speak, he was directly interrupted by Wang Xiaocong: "Stop! I can't help you with this." Her agency has already issued a ban order on her, and now who in the entertainment industry doesn't know? Not to mention that she has a child. ”
"Isn't it her original broken company who wants to praise Angela?" Li Tong sniffed his nose with disdain.
"What?" Wang Xiaocong hooked Li Tong's neck and walked to Shoubo's secluded place, "This is what Shen Qianmo told you?" In fact, the truth is that their boss wants to sneak her, you said that Shen Qianmo has given birth to children, and every boyfriend, why is she still so desperate, she just refuse......s!
Li Tong had long heard of the depth of the entertainment industry, but he didn't expect it to be so deep.
Wang Xiaocong talks about unspoken rules, which seem to be the same as eating and drinking, which is a daily occurrence.
"You must not wade into Shen Qianmo's troubled waters!" Wang Xiaocong warned Li Tong.
"Uh-huh. Li Tong nodded on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about other methods.
"Li Tong is here!"
I don't know who exclaimed, but the reporters watching at the gate of Shoubo suddenly found Li Tong and surrounded him.
The question on the left and the question on the right are both for urinals.
said that it was a question, but in fact, these reporters were all scolding Li Tong by asking questions.
"Li Tong, do you think contemporary art can have no bottom line?"
"Li Tong, did you take into account the psychology of the audience when you let the urinal ascend to the Hall of Elegance?"
"Li Tong, the urinal is settled in Shoubo as a work of art, who are you mocking?"
"Li Tong, do you consider the bad influence of the urinal on teenagers?"
Li Tong was stunned by these reporters, and subconsciously glanced back at Wang Xiaocong.
Wang Xiaocong immediately shook his head, saying that he would definitely not go into the water in this matter.
He came today with a clear goal, which is to see how much Li Tong's value has fallen because of the urinal incident, and how much his "Mona Lisa" has shrunk.
"I do this with one purpose, and that is to ask the question of whether the readymade is art or not. Li Tong was forced to explain, "Besides, if you say I'm mocking anyone, I'm mocking the dull and lifeless mainstream art, I hope that this work of mine can become a milestone and make avant-garde art valued again......"
Li Tong talked eloquently, but the reporters didn't seem to buy it.
No matter how fanciful Li Tong explained his avant-garde artistic thoughts, these reporters insisted that Li Tong was a vulgar art liar!
"Excause me, are you Li Tong?"
Just when Li Tong was outnumbered, suddenly a crooked nut squeezed in the crowd and greeted Li Tong very politely.
"I am. May I ask who you are?" Li Tong nodded politely to him.
"Oh, it's great that you're Li Tong. Speaking in broken Chinese, Crooked Guoren pulled out a business card from his bag, "I'm a reporter for Time Magazine in the United States, and my name is Peter." ”
Li Tong took Peter's business card and looked down, and smiled politely: "Nice to meet you." Is there anything you want me to do?"
"Oh, Li Tong, your work "Spring" exhibited at the first expo this time was photographed by a netizen and posted on Facebook, and now the art circle in the United States is discussing your work. Everyone is amazed that there is such avant-garde art in the mysterious East! Can I have an interview with you?"
"Interview?" Li Tong pointed to his nose in surprise.
The reporters around him were even more stunned.
Time Magazine~~
Li Tong's unremarkable work of art actually alarmed Time Magazine, one of the three major current affairs magazines in the United States.
Not to mention the authority of Time Magazine, its influence alone can be called the vane of global media.
Li Tong's blind beating in China can actually alarm "Time Magazine"?
"If you have any questions, you ask. Li Tong told reporters.
"Mr. Lee, your urinal has more than 1 million views and more than 200,000 comments on Facebook. Many artists in the U.S. have shown great interest in your work. What is your inspiration for this work, and what do you want to express?"
No, Li Tong had no choice but to repeat his answer again. He deliberately added "Dadaism" and "Surrealism" to his answer, which made the artistic ideas of his works very full.
Dadaism, is an anarchist artistic movement that seeks to discover the true reality by abolishing traditional cultural and aesthetic forms.
The main characteristic of surrealism is that it takes the so-called "surreal" and "super-rational" dreams and hallucinations as the source of artistic creation, and believes that only this kind of "unconscious" world that transcends reality can get rid of all shackles and show the true face of objective facts in the most real way. Surrealism had a huge impact on the traditional view of art. It is also often referred to as the Surrealist movement.
The American journalist listened attentively with a voice recorder "ohohyeahyesah".
Subsequently, the reporter of "Time Magazine" asked Li Tongyi again: "But although your work has attracted everyone's attention, there are also many voices of doubt." Are you afraid that this work will affect your reputation?"
