readx;
Suddenly, Li Mobai only felt that time and space were intertwined, Eastern culture and Western thought blended and collided, and more than a dozen great thinkers such as Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Wang Yangming, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Shakyamuni, Muhammad, Jesus, Bacon, Darwin, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Lu Xun, Sartre and so on appeared alternately in front of him, and the world transcended the boundaries of time, space and geography at this moment.

What surprised Li Mobai the most was that the images of these famous ideas were different from any images he had seen before, without the slightest facial makeup, but showed their own thoughts, they looked like they were smiling happily with each other, or arguing endlessly, blushing and thick-necked, or unruly and living alone, it was completely a feast of thoughts.
The whole piece of jade is played to the fullest, the exquisite technique uses a variety of carving techniques, in terms of artistic expression, it is the fusion of Chinese and Western to create a unique beauty, the Eastern and Western figures blend in a space, harmonious and harmonious, without the slightest far-fetched.
Every character, whether it is eyes, looks, or gestures are vivid, has fully possessed vitality, and the ideological power is vigorous, making people look at it as if listening to the teachings of human thought masters face-to-face, bringing people a psychological feeling that the words are still in the ears and the aftermath is lingering.
Looking at this sculpture, Li Mobai's heart was stirring, and the thoughts of the sages couldn't help but form pictures in his mind like a movie, and those thoughts that led people forward made Li Mobai's heart surge. In this contemporary art world dominated by Dadaism, Pop Culture, Cubism, and Futurism, this work is definitely an epoch-making work and the pinnacle of Chinese sculpture art.
Art is aesthetic rather than ugly, contemporary art has gradually developed into ugliness, has been reduced to a few people's arbitrary trampling of toys, Huang Qingxuan's white jade sculpture has changed the style of ugliness, showing the beauty of human beings' most precious thoughts, if the smile of Mona Lisa represents the highest requirements of human beings for beauty, then Huang Qingxuan's sculpture represents the beauty of human beings' true spiritual thoughts.
This is not a white jade sculpture, but a crystallization of human thought that shows everyone.
"Qingxuan, with this only one work, you will be famous in history, this is your gift to all mankind." After a long time, Li Mobai said seriously and firmly.
When Li Mobai looked at Huang Qingxuan after speaking, he found that Huang Qingxuan had fallen asleep, obviously tired, looking at Huang Qingxuan's haggard and pale face was distressing, Li Mobai couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, this is a person who takes art as his life, and is not satisfied with material things at all, but he is intoxicated with wealth and intrigue every day, which is really embarrassing.
Han Dong and the others stood silently on the side, and when they saw Li Mobai, who was in deep thought, talking, he said, "Bai Shao, Qing Xuan thought that he was going to let you see his works soon, and he couldn't sleep with excitement on the plane; When I saw you immersed in this sculpture, I fell asleep on the couch. ”
Li Mobai looked at his watch and found that it was already late at night, and he had been standing here for a few hours, so he couldn't help but feel even more ashamed, "I'm sorry, I forgot, how long did Qingxuan sleep?" ”
Han Dong and others are accustomed to it, a painting or a sculpture or a book can often make Li Mobai indulge in it, no one dares to disturb Li Mobai at this time, even if it is a big thing, they can only wait.
"It's about four hours." Han Dong smiled, "Qing Xuan has been carving this work for the past few months, I believe he must be very happy to see you intoxicated." ”
"Haha, it's not just me who is intoxicated, the art world around the world will tremble!" Li Mobai laughed, "Dongzi, I'm hungry, let people prepare to eat." I'm going to write an art review for this masterpiece, and then you're going to arrange for the best photographers to come and take pictures, and I'm going to contact famous art critics, galleries, and media reporters, and I'm going to put on the biggest exhibition of Qingxuan's work. ”
After Li Mobai finished speaking, he turned on the computer, did not get off the plane, and began to write a review for this sculpture on the plane, as for the dinner prepared by Han Dong, Li Mobai ate a few bites, and then devoted himself to writing.
By the time Li Mobai finished writing and correcting it in Chinese, it was already noon the next day, and he actually wrote 15,000 words, which can be described as a huge length.
"Dongzi, has Qingxuan woken up?" After Li Mobai saved the document for the last time, he asked loudly, not paying any attention to the time at this moment.
"Bai Shao, I'm sorry, I fell asleep last night." Without waiting for Han Dong to speak, Huang Qingxuan answered.
When Huang Qingxuan woke up, he found that Li Mobai was writing the computer, sometimes reciting words in his mouth, and sometimes looking at his sculpture motionlessly, without noticing Huang Qingxuan watching from the side.
"Qingxuan, wake up." When Li Mobai heard Huang Qingxuan's voice, he said, "Let's take a look at the comments I wrote." ”
Li Mobai got up and pushed the computer to Huang Qingxuan, Huang Qingxuan was not polite, he sat down and watched, the more he watched, the more excited he became, sometimes with a smile on his face, sometimes with his fists clenched, and said while watching, "Bai Shao, the writing is fantastic, Young Master Bai, who knows me!" ”
Li Mobai fell asleep leaning back on the chair at this time, not knowing that Huang Qingxuan's face was flushed with excitement, sometimes waving his arms and laughing, and sometimes reading out loud Li Mobai's wonderful comments, and Huang Qingxuan didn't notice that Li Mobai was already asleep.
It wasn't until Huang Qingxuan read the 15,000 words word by word that he found that Li Mobai was sleeping peacefully on the chair, dreaming of the most beautiful things.
When the tiger and the leopard saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing, these two people were so interesting, they took turns sleeping, and they hadn't said a few words in total when they met, so they couldn't help but smile, and carefully carried Li Mobai to the bed on the plane and fell asleep.
It wasn't until the night that Li Mobai woke up and found himself sleeping on the bed, so he couldn't help laughing, "Qingxuan, let's go to drink at night, and we won't return home if we don't get drunk." ”
Huang Qingxuan agreed without hesitation, and now the two can finally get together properly, and the two did not go directly to Monaco, but tasted all kinds of fine wines directly in the bars in Nice, tasting them one by one, chatting while drinking, talking about ideas, art, women and wine, and politics, almost everything.
Drinking the strongest liquor, discussing the most intense topics, until the two were already drunk, they were sent back to the hotel by the tiger and the leopard. A big drunkenness, but left a myth in the bars of Nice, drinking all the liquor in the bars.
After the hangover, Li Mobai first posted the photos and comments he had already taken on his blog and scarf, and then translated the article into English, French, German, Spanish, Latin, and Portuguese, which took three days to complete.
During this period, the big gambling stone has reached the third round, and Li Mobai has no interest in continuing to participate, but the organizers still retain the qualification for Li Mobai.
Han Dong arranged for the public relations team to go all out to prepare for Huang Qingxuan's work exhibition, but Han Dong did not need to spend too much effort, and now He's jewelry is hot, and he heard that the chief artist of He's jewelry is going to hold a solo exhibition, so he can't wait to come to discover the news points.
As for the gallery, I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when I saw this photo and the comments written by Li Mobai, I was very surprised and amazed by this work, and I was very much looking forward to having the opportunity to see this work with my own eyes.
After Li Mobai released the photos and reviews, the domestic media circles went even more crazy about it, and this review article was written so classicly, not the usual boasting of art critics, but into the wood three-point commentary, and many newspapers even published the full text with the photos and reviews in special pages.
Of course, the so-called shock is not a one-sided applause, but a one-sided criticism that this work has no innovation, no artistic value, and no reputation abroad, but is just an ordinary work.
For a while, each of them made their own voices on their own fortresses, which was really lively, and there were many people in the circle who said that Li Mobai just piled up some flowery language into a flattering work, and even said that Li Mobai was even more stupid and ignorant of contemporary art, and for a while, most people stood on the opposite side of Li Mobai and attacked it, but ignored the work itself.
And the media is fueling the fire, and only when someone makes opposing remarks can they have a selling point, so as to increase the sales of the newspaper and increase the number of customers to advertise, and they can't help but thank Li Mobai.
And Li Mobai's fans have voiced their voices in the Internet fortress, applauding Li Mobai loudly, hoping to silence the opposition on the Internet.
Li Mobai inadvertently triggered a big war, and due to the maintenance of fans, he turned out the ugly deeds of some famous artists and the works with unlimited ugliness, and whipped them out; The famous artists have published the so-called high theories of contemporary art, and they are boiling and lively for a while.
Li Mobai had no time to take care of these controversies, and only after the translation of the commentary was completed did he have time to log on to the domestic website to take a look, and he was shocked by the chaos for a while and was speechless.
In desperation, he wrote a sentence on his neck: Thought is the wealth of mankind, and art is for all mankind, so let's leave it to the test of history.
Li Mobai didn't speak, this speech was like a shot in the arm for fans, so Li Mobai's words became the most powerful weapon for fans to fight back, and they used it as an argument to fight back against their opponents, and even turned out many examples of unwillfulness and poverty in their lives, but after their deaths, they became the most respected thinkers and artists.
In the face of the fierce offsive, the celebrities had no choice but to disarm and surrender and keep silent, but the reason was high-sounding - Li Mobai's fans were too low and blindly worshiped Yunyun, which annoyed the fans even more, so some fans announced to these celebrities that they would go it alone - open debate.
The domestic chaos has become a mess, but the foreign media has not reported too much, and the foreign media are relatively more rigorous, and will never blindly use the words of one family as the argument for reporting.
Li Mobai also has no time to deal with the chaos in China, and is admiring Huang Qingxuan's sculpture titled "The World is Flat" with artists, gallery owners, and critics from all over the world.
The environment of the foreign art circle is much more open, and there are all kinds of voices, some people think that it is a cross-era work, some people think that it lacks trendy elements, some people think that it is invaluable, and some people think that mediocrity is incomparably lacking profound connotation.
"Huang's sculpture has a strong artistic appeal, let us remember that the core of art is to serve all mankind, and art should become the driving force to promote the progress of society, which is an immortal work." Marshall, a famous London art critic, said.
"Yes, this is an immortal work, ideas have no borders, and it is the greatest wealth, integration is the trend of the future, I think in the future I must go to China to learn the essence of Chinese culture, I am proud of Huang." Darren, a famous artist, told reporters.
Everyone is different from the world to people, it is normal to have praise and disapproval, and when it is one-sided, it means that it is an abnormal state, and art will lose its creativity or has lost its artistic creativity.
"This is a terrible work, lacking the core theme concept, there are too many elements to express, but it has been reduced to mediocrity, lacking full sharpness, I personally think that Huang's other work "The Goddess" is a real vitality and appeal of the Oriental art masterpiece." So says the American artist Lorente.
However, those who think that this work is mediocre think that the other works brought by Huang Qingxuan this time are full of artistic appeal and vitality, in short, there are all kinds of voices, but everyone thinks that Li Mobai's comments are very pertinent and profound.
Media reporters listened to the news in it, and finally wrote articles and sent them back to the company, so Huang Qingxuan finally became famous all over the world, and then many famous critics also wrote articles to express their opinions, in general, most of them praised, and only a few criticized.
Some media have predicted that the value of this sculpture may surpass that of British artist Damien. Hearst's "Love to God" has been evaluated as the most expensive work of art.
With the rise of Huang Qingxuan's fame abroad, the voice of domestic criticism suddenly disappeared, and for a while the praise was overwhelming, and many shameless critics or artists completely forgot that some time ago they criticized this sculpture, but Li Mobai's fans did not buy it at all, and despised these famous artists who were condescending and respectful.
Many collectors and galleries have offered to buy the work, but each time they refused, the price of the bidder was immediately increased by 10%, and in just a few days, someone had already offered more than 200 million euros.
