626. Move with affection, know with reason
Wan Changsheng's idea is really simple, since the domestic art circle has always regarded holding art exhibitions in European and American countries as a common means of gilding to raise prices.
The countries of West Asia should be even more so.
Usually in the Great Beauty Agency, don't you often hear those friends say that Middle Eastern tycoons like to buy football clubs in the UK to show their financial status.
Including Amira's father asking an Englishman like Ge Ning to be the financial officer, he should also have this complex mentality towards British and American countries, as if hiring a British to work for him can resolve that inner admiration.
This kind of Ah Q mentality can be understood by Chinese.
Let Emira go gilded and become a sought-after artist in the UK should be similar.
Compared with looking for Lao Tong and them to contact this kind of channel in the art circle, Wan Changsheng believes that finding the head snake is more authentic and easier to produce results.
This is completely consistent with Du Wen's idea of suggesting that Wan Changsheng go to Europe to hold a solo exhibition to improve his style.
But Ge Ning actually shook his head and refused.
He has the stubborn pride of Britain: "I know the fact that the rise of China is unstoppable, and I also know that the Commonwealth now has a little pride in these traditions, but I still don't want to use this way to fade art, in all fairness, this child's painting surprised me, but it was only surprise, he didn't even reach the point where you were full of oriental painting skills, I was even more surprised that you chose to let him take this path of free artistic growth, rather than let him completely follow your skills, So my surprise is directed at you, and I don't want your artistic talent to be stained with this kind of fraud. ”
In fact, this has already been said very politely.
Art brokers are certainly not uncommon in the art circles of European and American countries, defrauding Oriental artists of their travel fees, holding an art exhibition in an inconspicuous place, and making an award that sounds scary but is actually worthless, this kind of thing has become an industrial operation.
Maybe it's still the method taught by the Chinese in the past.
Because China has been playing this for thousands of years, it is just a word for familiarity!
Wan Changsheng didn't want to find a way from Shumei's teachers and professors, he just wanted to avoid this trap.
He doesn't care about spending money, but he can't be wronged.
But Ge Ning knows very well that this is a fool who pulls the tiger skin and pulls the banner.
The stubborn pride of an English gentleman in him was once again on display.
Wan Changsheng was a little surprised, but he was not embarrassed, and motioned for the two to walk out slowly, the handicraft area and the display and production area upstairs were not to visit, and took Ge Ning into the teaching warehouse behind, there are always many curious citizens at the door who probe their brains, but the security guard pulled the isolation belt, and it is not allowed to approach casually, but you can wait and see at a distance of about one meter outside the door to see what the art candidates are like, which is also equivalent to a display, don't let the art examination be so mysterious.
Of course, the two of them can enter casually, and the teacher in charge thought that Wan Changsheng had brought some big name to inspect the teaching, and he focused on guidance, and the main tutor in charge also asked Wan Changsheng with his eyes if he wanted to give a lecture, and they organized and arranged it immediately.
Wan Changsheng smiled and waved his hand, just took Ge Ning to visit, and by the way, there was a small classroom on the second floor, because the main teaching area was transferred to the new campus, so this side is a lot more relaxed, and there is water on the second floor where art candidates can rest.
Wan Changsheng asked for a glass of juice, Ge Ning just ordered a bottle of mineral water, and his eyes mainly stayed on this grand scene of thousands of people gathering to study
Wan Changsheng waited for him to see, and explained slowly: "I have only seen their learning scale in the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, the training of artists in many developed countries should be elite cultivation, not such a factory-style assembly line production, but still that sentence, our China is too big, two-thirds of the population of 1.5 billion people are farmers, and it is still in a state of transformation in an agricultural society, and even the education and aesthetics of the urban population have just started, so I want to use this method of mass production to expand the understanding of art by ordinary people as much as possible. We also try to provide opportunities for families of different income classes to study art, so that we can discover Dürer, Millet, Gauguin, Van Gogh and ...... among them."
The few famous masters he mentioned were almost all children of poor families.
Without the centuries-old high level of literacy in Europe, it would not have been possible for the children of poor families to have access to the art palace.
In the past, there was an obvious gap in China, and the poor people did not have the opportunity to receive cultural education, let alone painting, so the magic brush Ma Liang is a fairy tale.
Now it's just paying off the debt.
Ge Ning nodded slowly.
Wan Changsheng's purpose is certainly not to sell his academic philosophy to the British uncle: "I also know that this way of emphasizing basic painting techniques is to cater to the exam, but there is no other better way at the moment, I only experiment with a very limited number of students to develop their natural imagination and learn, and Amira is one of the explorations, which is why his painting is different from my other students." ”
The gentlemanly demeanor is reflected in the fact that even if he has different opinions, he still politely waits for Wan Changsheng to speak, and he doesn't even express that Zhang Zhang wants to speak, he just bows his head lightly to indicate that he heard.
Wan Changsheng made a sharp turn here: "Originally, I planned to continue to train Amira for five or ten years, and at that time, there may have been dozens or hundreds of Chinese children around him discussing this way of learning, but unfortunately, his sister came, a seventeen-year-old lady named Beheye......"
Ge Ning laughed when he heard this, but still didn't speak.
Wan Changsheng started from the fact that he was asked by Amira to go to Pingjing to pick up his sister here, and he talked about the trick including the seal in great detail, until the two of them knocked out the little maid and escaped at Jiangzhou Airport, and then asked Amira to contact her sister to take responsibility.
It wasn't until that late-night snack almost a week ago: "That's when I confirmed that you were going to be involved in this, I don't know if you know where I stand?" This is just two sisters and brothers who are not very sensible, trying to pursue freedom when they get into some trouble, I heard from the poor little maid that she lost her young lady, and it may be a big trouble to go back, even involving life, and this sister has a very strong idea of escaping from marriage, it is said that her unmarried lady is very bad, all this has nothing to do with me, I have a fiancée who lives together and has a very good relationship, talking about such an inexplicable marriage is a joke, I still have a lot to do, Just with a little compassion, I want to help them solve this problem. ”
Ge Ning finally connected the ins and outs: "So this is the purpose of helping that kid hold an art exhibition?" ”
Wan Changsheng nodded: "I'm also worried, send the four of them back, sister and brother plus two maids, one is derelict in their duties, and the other is instigated to flee, this is the most trouble-free for me, but I don't know what kind of results they will encounter, in my limited world cognition, if they encounter any kind of encounter, I think it is possible, can you give me some hints, after all, you have more to do with them." ”
Ge Ning looked at Wan Changsheng, he was originally a little tall and thin, even if he sat there in a leisurely posture of drinking afternoon tea, he still straightened his back and was very graceful, and slowly pulled up a wry smile: "I don't think I'm qualified to persuade them to treat these children in a civilized way." ”
This is still very subtle.
Wan Changsheng smiled: "A hundred years ago, two hundred years ago, or even more years ago in China, I still knew the practices of those big families, so I told Amira that if he wants to change his own destiny, change the fate of his mother and sister, the most direct way is to work hard to change himself, when he is valuable, at least in front of his father, in order to bring changes to his mother and sister, which is the most common practice in a patriarchal society." ”
Ginning fully understood: "If he is made a famous prodigy painter in England, maybe he can save this reckless trouble?" ”
Wan Changsheng nodded: "They thought that only by marrying a Chinese and obtaining Chinese residency could they get rid of the previous environment, so they invited you to officiate the wedding, I think this is of course a naïve idea, no matter what reason you agree to come, I think you can negotiate a more conducive solution to the problem, you say." ”
The mentality of the Holy Mother of God, which has always been compassionate and compassionate in European countries, that they think they are superior to others and want to save people from fire and water, suddenly flares up.
It doesn't have to be about art.
Uncle England raised his eyebrows and picked up the mineral water cup: "You are a kind person, and you are full of wisdom, let's try it, although this matter is not easy, but it is indeed one of the solutions to this situation, in addition, I came, at the request of the child's mother, in the name of the guarantor, to visit him, and responsible for the new year's tuition and living expenses transferred to your account, just last month I went to the United States on a business trip and then Hong Kong, the Middle East, and finally returned to Europe, so it seems, this reckless young lady, Even my itinerary is included, so let me meet these poor children. ”
Wan Changsheng immediately sent a message to Amira to ask where he was, and then he was told that they were in the cultural and creative park!
Didn't you say that the little spy is in the cultural and creative park, try not to leak the news?
Well, it seems that Selimei is hiding in Zhong Mingxia's apartment all day long, staying at home, and there seems to be no danger.
Doesn't it mean that at this time, Beheyer's master and servant should also try to avoid exposure?
Wan Changsheng could only invite Ge Ning to the hotel first, set up his luggage, eat lunch, and rest in the evening before going over?
This was originally his scheduled schedule.
Ge Ning was eager to go there immediately, and he was very interested in this art community.
Wan Changsheng also had to ask the teacher about the public transportation route, and with the guests who came from afar, he had a solid experience of what it means to have a lot of people.
The subway has been crowded, and it is not recommended to take the red line on various mobile phone apps, and even the bus is not recommended, so you almost don't go to join in the fun.
But Wan Changsheng and the two of them went all the way, and their peers were all excited and curious tourists.
If there are many people, they will not go.
What you want is that there are many people, and if there are so many people, it must be a good place.
It's all here, why do you have to make a card before leaving.
Ninety-nine steps have been walked, how can it be possible to turn around at the door?
Standing on the bus, Wan Changsheng could hear this kind of sound all around him.
Ge Ning grabbed the ring, and stood out from the crowd with a little bit of his neck, watching from the window as if the bus was splitting a steamer with huge waves, and driving forward from the crowd of tourists on the road.
It's spectacular.
