June 1, Children's Day.

On the 125th floor of the Twin Towers, World Trade Tower, a blonde man was reviewing documents, and the secretary in high heels walked over with a smile: "BOSS, this is your breakfast, and today's Time Magazine." ”

"Put it here." The man, who was about thirty-nine years old, looked at the information in front of him, frowned, and said, "Go, Luanna called over - if she doesn't arrive, she'll be late." She made this report, right? Who told her to do it without counting Manhattan's accounts? I know of more than $100,000 in discrepancies! ”

"Also, let Caulk see me at 3 p.m., we at the Sanity & Contemplation art auction house have an important auction this quarter. But he hasn't handed me the auction details yet! ”

"Also, I remember asking the Propaganda Department to make a unique poster. Even contacted Crowben. Master Williams. They still have the face to send messages saying it's hard to do?! SHIT！ These pig brains! Tell them that before I leave work, I have to see the idea screen or I'm ready to pack up and get out! ”

"Yes." The secretary smiled and bowed: "Mr. Watts, Director Ovian asked you to arrive on the 100th floor on time at half past ten in the morning for a meeting. Also be sure to be on time. ”

"Got it. Let's get out, it's okay. ”

After the secretary went out, Watts still didn't touch breakfast, and after another half an hour, he went through all the materials. Then I picked up the somewhat cold hamburger and coffee, and looked at the stack of magazines that the secretary had brought over.

There's Globe, there's The Times, there's The New York Star. But he didn't hesitate to put all of that aside, hesitated for a moment between The Times and Time, and finally picked up Time.

"Oh?" He picked up his coffee, and as soon as he saw it for the first time, he recognized the person above: "Norio Ohga...... These Japanese are simply invading American assets! Buying the surface of Rockefeller Center isn't enough, it's still going to be in Time magazine? ”

Time Magazine, in the style before 2000, rarely used real photos to publish, and even 50% of it used abstract painting style, such as Chairman Deng's first appearance in Time Magazine. The other 50% are semi-photographic photos, which means that a photo is modified by software to make it look somewhere between the real thing and the painting.

On the left of this issue of Time magazine is Norio Ohga, and on the right is a young-looking Asian man, the two hold hands together, and the background is a majestic mountain, also in a semi-abstract style, with thousands of red and yellow waterfalls slowly paving.

"Who is this?" Watts frowned and took a sip of slightly cold coffee: "Another Japanese pretending to be a ghost?" It's just lawless! I can't figure out at all, how can behemoths like the Rockefeller family and the Rothschilds tolerate this defeated country stirring up trouble again and again? ”

In the 80s, even the American people knew about the invasion of Japanese assets, and the business community regarded the Japanese business district as an enemy. He let out a long sigh of relief, and then opened Time magazine.

"Journey to the East - Live Performance of Mount Tai of the Qin Dynasty in China: The First Preview of the Other Side of the Cloud and Mountain." He has a habit of reading aloud, and when he sees this line, he can't help but read it: "Author: Wilson." Editor-in-chief of Time Magazine. ”

"China?" Watts was a little stunned, without it, this term has not appeared in Time magazine for too long, too long, and even since he was led by the directors, he began to pay attention to this magazine that did not have much publicity, but was silent in the upper center, he had never seen the word China.

"China?" He asked to himself again, picked it up and flipped through the cover, and his first reaction was: I took it wrong?

In fact, no.

"Let's see." He does not have a bad impression of China, he has been to China, although he is not rich now, but he is in the art industry, and his style of the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and so on can be called worship.

"Born in a country like the United States, I don't know if it's good or bad for us artists," he smiled bitterly, took a sip ......of coffee again, shook his head and sighed: "China has a heritage, but they have no foundation and no money." If the government is smart, the next step will definitely be to develop people's livelihood, and I don't know how many years will it take for them to develop culture...... Good is good in the United States...... But it's a cultural desert......"

He slowly flipped over the cover, his mouth still reminiscent of the bitterness of the coffee, and when the next page appeared, he almost squirted out without a sip of coffee!

"This, this is!?" He didn't have time to wipe the coffee stains on the corner of his mouth, and almost stood up in surprise, looking at the picture in amazement, he couldn't believe his eyes!

Beautiful!

It was a huge color photograph.

It should be a state-of-the-art camera or camera, taking up a whole page, a whole page.

The sky is the night sky. But under the dim sky, two huge star maps were slowly flickering.

Left dragon and right phoenix, they are so brilliant at night. Underneath them was a lamp whose head he couldn't even name. Connected into a huge sea of lights, they shine, they shine, they make this night heaven and earth.

Watts froze.

Completely stunned.

The smell of artistic impact almost suffocated him! His mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and the image instantly froze in his mind!

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

It took five or six seconds for Watts to say in a trembling voice: "This, this is China?" ”

"Beauty...... It's beautiful! What a beautiful China! His expression instantly changed from silence to excitement. grabbed Time magazine and slapped it fiercely: "This picture is amazing!" How did you get the dragon and phoenix in the sky?! Oh...... Oh, my God! This photo is sure to win this year's Pulitzer Prize for Journalism! You might even win the first prize! ”

"This photographer is simply amazing! It's a natural ...... Oh, I should be surprised by who made this beautiful picture now? Or should you be surprised how it was done? Or should you be surprised who filmed it? He took a deep breath and looked at the huge coloring page with a look of love in love: "All I can say is that it's fucking awesome!" ”

He closed his eyes again, he did art work, at least with art, their auction house New York is famous, and he has seen a lot of famous paintings. But this color photo, the impact on him, is unprecedented!

I never thought that there might be a dragon and phoenix star chart in the sky.

I never thought of a continuous sea of lights.

Perhaps only the Eiffel Tower was lit up from the base at the beginning.

"No!" In the blink of an eye, he opened his eyes and said solemnly: "It's not comparable!" ”

"Not even the Eiffel Tower! Because ......" he took a deep breath: "It's natural...... Right! That's right! It's nature! It's painting with nature! This is a work of art like never before! How did I ignore this! ”

He suddenly remembered something, paced back and forth in the room, and muttered, "Yes...... Nature is the canvas, inspiration is the brush and ink. Our auction house has a poster for this month! ”

Without hesitation, he grabbed the phone: "Hey, it's me, you go and contact Time Magazine right away and ask them where that color page came from?" Are there any copyright disputes? Is it allowed to be reprinted? Right...... And then you organize another team of people, listen, don't look me for people who have prejudices against China. Find someone who is very passionate about Chinese culture. Get them ready to go to China! ”

After the order was given, he carefully looked at the whole color page bit by bit.

Only then did he realize that there were more than 20 people under the sky, and they were just as excited as he was now. No...... And even more! Because Watts was not there in person! He knows very well that there is such a thing as art, and the impact of the scene is much greater than that of the photograph!

The photos are so beautiful, what about the scene?

Suddenly, an inexplicable jealousy rose in his heart.

"Good luck...... Who the hell is this? Shooting team? This view...... I'd love to see it too......"

Time magazine, ordinary people don't care, maybe many people think it's a very ordinary magazine. Its audience has never been the average person. Watts is not, and neither is Norio Oga, and at the same time they saw it at first sight, I don't know how many people who "could see" saw it.

"Norio Ohga and the Qin Dynasty cooperated? Join forces to create a grand view of Mount Tai? In Austria, a man with one-sided glasses was reading the papers, without raising his head, but his deep frown showed that he was not in a good mood: "Oh, dear Peter, I have to remind you again. This is Austria, and it's the capital city of Vien/Na. And I'm Stephen, the consul of Viye/Na. Muzier. What does this have to do with me? Will they come to Weiye/Na to invest hundreds of millions of dollars? Wait a minute...... What is it? ”

Before he could finish speaking, the latest Time magazine had been placed in front of him. As he was flipping through the color pages, he was immediately fascinated as soon as he took the first look.

"Is this a Chinese stage play? Allah Ah...... How much effort did they put into this? It's so Chinese! He took it without hesitation, ignoring that he was still talking about his business for a second, and asked silently, "Where did you do this?" Is it in China? Norio Oga? President Sony? Who is this young man? ”

The assistant didn't answer, Wei Ye/Na is known as the holy land of art, whether it is the consul or the common people, there are some artistic cells, he knows that his chief is just amazed.

Sure enough, Stephen's voice immediately sounded again: "It's so beautiful...... Large-scale live shows? Qin Dynasty? I remember, my daughter was playing their game. Recently, I've been dying for a game that they're expensive. Their collaboration? What exactly is this live show? ”
