In the office, President Xue let out a long breath, rubbing the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and his face looked a little distracted.

After a long time, he glanced at his watch and turned on the computer in front of him.

After a while, the video conference of several old guys began.

"Lao Gu, Lao Yun, Lao Lei, how are you doing over there?"

"Did you run into a problem?"

President Xue's voice was slightly hoarse, but there was a hint of excitement in this hoarseness.

"Hmph, if we give up our old face like this, who dares not to give us a few faces."

As soon as the words fell, Lao Lei shouted.

"Well, I have entrusted a few old friends, and the Shanghai government has already gotten permission."

Yun Lao also responded.

"There's a lot of resistance, but it's all expected." Gu Lao paused, and said jokingly: "However, behind the scenes, we old guys have to be said a few words." ”

"Haha, it's up to them!"

"It's enjoyable, it's really enjoyable, I didn't expect that when I get old, I can do it like this crazy." Lei Lao's personality is just like his surname, vigorous and bold, I only heard him laughing.

A bunch of old guys, but it's very brutal.

After a circle, I offended a lot of people!

"I'm quite smooth here, and my old friends are very face-saving."

President Xue listened carefully and pondered what he had sketched on the paper in his hand, and then opened his mouth to answer.

As he spoke, he saw Xue Lao's eyebrows frowning, and asked a little strangely: "It's strange to say, there are some very stubborn people this time, they were still very tough at the beginning, but within half an hour of hanging up the phone, they all called me back urgently, saying that there was no problem." ”

"And just now, I received a call from Moutai Group and several large companies, saying that they want to sponsor the Shanghai Biennale in the whole process, including all the publicity work."

"Are you old guys still holding back? With such great ability, still hidden? ”

Xue Lao's words were thrown out, and several old men looked at each other, but no one knew where the power of this back hand came from.

After discussing it for a while, but still having no clue, the four simply put down the problem and began to study a new problem.

After the meeting, Gu Lao Zeng frowned and muttered: "Moutai Group? Guizhou Province? ”

The old man seemed to have some inferences in his heart, but the more he understood, the more shocked he became.

The time was mid-January 2016, less than a month before the Chinese New Year's Eve of Huaguo.

During this period, the official website of the Shanghai Biennale, as well as newspapers and magazines with which it has good connections, updated the theme of the latest Biennale.

As soon as the theme was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of countless designers, artists, design enthusiasts, and people from all walks of life from all over the country.

The Shanghai Biennale is held every two years, and each time it has a wide influence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can affect the lives of Chinese residents.

The theme of the 14th Shanghai Biennale: 'Social Factory'.

The theme of the 12th Shanghai Biennale: 'Regeneration'.

The theme of the 10-year Shanghai Biennale is the same as that of the Expo of the same year: 'Better City, Better Life'.

08 - 'Fast City Express'.

'06 - 'Ultra Design'.

Each theme will lead the mainstream direction of the design field for the next two years.

Among the masses, the influence is amazing, and if it is successful, it can be recognized by the vast majority of people in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the year 2006 of the Gregorian calendar, countless people were looking forward to the announcement of the theme and the big artists and designers who participated in the exhibition.

Today, the design theme is finally revealed, but it is different from previous years.

Against the background of the traditional mahogany color texture of China, there is a theme named 'Chinese Charm'.

Next to the topic, there is a short line of small print to introduce:

The concept of 'harmony' is embedded in the ancient culture of China. Chinese culture advocates the harmony of human beings, the harmony of nature and man, and the harmony of body and mind. At the same time, 'harmony' is also seen in the ideals of the Western sages.

Let the long-standing civilization shine with new light!

As soon as the official website was updated, it was immediately forwarded in various designer forums and the news was replaced on the homepage.

There are countless people who have discussed and discussed this topic.

"This is a signal that the government is ready to pay attention to the traditional culture of China!"

"Yes, that's how I see it. The Shanghai Biennale is inherently influenced by the government, which is too obvious. ”

"In recent years, China has been dumped too strictly by Western culture, and this is to be expected."

Whether it's the Architects' Forum or the Artists' Forum, everyone agrees. They all believe that this is an important signal that the country attaches importance to traditional culture.

In fact, since the new chief came to power, the attention of the relevant traditional cultural industries has increased year by year.

"A strong and excellent nation must also be strong with its own long-standing culture, and this topic is set at a very high level, which is very good! It's just that why didn't the masters who participated in the exhibition be announced this time? ”

At this moment, someone from a different place suddenly asked a similar question.

It is easy to deduce that the masters with extremely high attainments in the fields of traditional skills, traditional culture, and traditional arts are basically 70 years old or older. Not long ago, the old man Ye Lechi, who made a traditional palace complex, can be counted as one, Chinese painting masters Xiao Yulei and Yun Zhenlin"

Someone reported the famous old people in the industry one by one, and the seventy years old among these people were all counted as young, most of them were around the age of ten years old, and there were more than 100-year-old immortals.

The Shanghai Biennale is a must-visit and study for those who are engaged in the field of art and design.

At that time, many colleges and universities would organize students to take trains, bullet trains, and buses to go.

The Biennale is usually held at the Shanghai Museum of Modern Art, and in its vicinity there are national pavilions that many countries did not dismantle at the time of the World Expo.

This is not a lot of exhibitions and awards that China has played by itself and itself, but it has an international impact. During the exhibition, the international design media came to report. The international friends who shuttled during the period were not much less than the Chinese.

Daytime studio, the hall on the second floor of the first world.

Around a conference table sat Bai Bai, Sang Yu, Yu Huai, and Ah Tong.

The atmosphere in the four-person room is very tense, but under this tension there is a volcanic eruption-like excitement.

The four of them looked at the projection screen not far from the table.

On the curtain are reports from various media after the announcement of the theme of the Shanghai Biennale, as well as speeches and comments by artists and designers from different fields.

Every remark, every discussion, every point of view

All the words can see the anticipation contained in it, but it is precisely because of this that the pressure on the team during the day is heavier.

Young people, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Ah Tong and Yu Huai's eyes were quietly intertwined, and anyone could see the excitement and ecstasy in the depths of each other's eyes.

They have a kind of joy that is even crazier than being hit by a jackpot of 10 million.

It was the Shanghai Biennale, the highest exhibition in the field of Chinese design!

Often after the exhibition, all kinds of awards will be smashed like crazy, and fame and fortune can really be reaped.

They know that this is a solo exhibition during the day, an exhibition to show the road during the day.

But so what? They are a team during the day, and as a recent graduate, as long as there is a sporadic light shining on them, it is also a dazzling resume!

'Shanghai Biennale is a solo exhibition of architects during the day'

If such news is announced, it will inevitably erupt into an uproar that will cause a sensation in China.

Thinking of this question during the day, I don't know if it's an illusion, Gu Sangyu, who is always paying attention to the daytime, seems to see the madness and excitement hidden in the former's eyes.

Internet language: 'The more eye-catching, the more waves I have.' ’
