Chapter 45

In fact, the aesthetics of people all over the world are similar, for example, if you give a girl a very beautiful flower, I think most girls will like it very much, only some very few places with different beliefs will be different

But everything has a talent, Xiaodong I think your talent is very good, as long as you are willing to work hard, I believe that in the near future, there will be a place for you in the photography industry, old Darren Dao

Well, I know, I will definitely study seriously with the teacher, Lan Dong's eyes are resolute, Old Darren also does not doubt Lan Dong's words, the Chinese are diligent and willing to endure hardships, Old Darren has long known, like Lan Dong is talented, if he is willing to endure hardship, then the evaluation of him at the beginning is by no means an empty word

Old Darren's wine glass was empty again, Lan Dong got up again to pour him wine, but he refused, in the words of you Chinese, wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, not too much, just a moderate amount every day, I also drink so much every day, and the rest will be drunk tomorrow

Even if Old Darren said this, Lan Dong would not refute his meaning, and then Old Darren asked again, Xiao Dong, are you a perfectionist?

This question Lan Dong answered without even thinking about it, no, what is perfect in the world, the so-called perfection is just to meet their highest requirements, and the Chinese have never paid attention to perfection, but if it is too perfect, it will deliberately leave a little regret

What is perfection, is the end, is the end, just like the full moon is perfect, but after the full moon, it is the lack of the moon, but before it is full, it is hope, there is hope to pay, everything is perfect, and the motivation is gone

Another example is some superstitious sayings, one person owes money to another person, and two people go to the task at the same time, then the person who owes money to others will definitely come to pay him back after completing the task, instead of repaying him before leaving, if so, that person may not be able to come back, which is like saying to God, I still have something to do, I can't leave, if you pay back the money, God will see you and have no concern, and it is possible to take you away

Lan Dong is not only not a perfectionist, even he is still a similarist, everything just needs to do seven or eight points, although the old saying is not envied is mediocrity, but is it really a good thing to be envied, if a person is too outstanding, it may not be a good thing, so the Chinese have always known the truth of receiving when they see good,

It's like Lan Dong has already finished his Chinese class, but he will only score more than the passing line in every exam, instead of a full score, he is a transfer student, if so, it will only increase their xenophobia, although Lan Dong is not social, but he doesn't like to make enemies for himself, which is also the principle of most people

Lan Dong expressed his opinion, and asked Old Darren again, is the teacher a perfectionist? I am, and Old Darren also answered Lan Dong's words without hesitation

In order to take a perfect set of sunrise photos, I once set up a tent on the mountain for a week, but fortunately there was no rain that week, and finally I went down the mountain satisfactorily, Old Darren Road

Yes, the teacher is really persistent enough, Lan Dongdao, in fact, the so-called perfectionist, just want to do his own works to the extreme, such as the great sculpting artist, Michelangelo, he is also a perfectionist, now his most famous work is David, people who have seen David's sculptures, all admire his exquisite skills, but if he is not a perfectionist, his legacy works will be more

I once heard a rumor, when he was about to finish a work, in the end he found that there was a black spot on the stone, just because of this black spot he smashed the whole work, if it was not smashed, it would be a legend, but there are not so many ifs in this world, smashed is smashed, and it no longer exists, so what I want to tell you is, don't chase any absolute perfection, that doesn't exist at all, as long as you reach the eight or nine points in your mind, you can, that's a good enough work, If you become famous in the future, but because of what perfection you are pursuing, what is the most perfect work, it will be the most wrong decision you have made, do you understand?

Yes, teacher, I understand, Lan Dong nodded and said, that's good, whether it's a work of art, or life, there are so many perfections, God has rewarded us for this skill, and we are already much better than most people, if we are pursuing any perfection, it is not only embarrassing ourselves, but also embarrassing God

It can be seen that Old Darren has suffered a big loss in this, and he will not say such a profound reflection if he can't, seeing that Old Darren seems to be stuck in some kind of contemplation, Lan Dong hurriedly changed the topic and said, Teacher, I haven't seen your family since yesterday, where have your family gone

When Old Darren heard Lan Dong ask about this, his expression suddenly became a little sader, I have no family, and I am not married, so I don't have children, I used to be young and focused on photography, and when I think about getting married, I am already old, and I don't think about it until now

Lan Dong also felt a pang of heart for no reason after hearing this, it is really sad that a person has such achievements now, but he can't share it with the people closest to him

My parents died when I was very young, and when I died, they only left me a small building, and then I sold the small building, sold it for money, and I bought another car, and then it was the same as you said, the world seen from the rearview mirror is different from what the naked eye sees, and then I slowly embarked on this road, and when I have a certain reputation, I bought the previous small building back, because as I became more and more famous, the more lonely I felt, and when I saw other people succeeding, I had the company of my family, And I didn't even have someone to applaud me, so I decided to move back to where I used to live, where my parents had the air of me, and with them, I felt like I wasn't alone anymore

Old Darren said that his eyes were a little moist, it turned out that the world-famous photographer also had this unknown side, Lan Dong straightened up, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes for Old Darren, and thought that this is really dedicating his life to the cause he loves, and truly dedicating himself to art, I will be your child in the future, I will take care of you, after speaking, Lan Dong is even more reassuring to Old Darren with a reassuring smile

Old Darren held Lan Dong's hand again and said, Good boy, I really didn't misunderstand you, you can rest assured that I will definitely train you to become a talent in the future

After putting down Lan Dong's hand, Old Darren stood up again, do you know how many people I have brought in this studio? I don't know, Lan Dong shook his head and said, Three, Old Darren raised three fingers as he spoke, and pointed at Lan Dong with one finger, you are the third and the most talented one among them

The first is my neighbor's child, and now he is also a well-known photographer in the circle, and you will meet him when you have the opportunity in the future, and you took the group of photos of Xiaoxue wearing a cheongsam, two of which were bought by him

It turned out that he was bought by his senior brother, Lan Dong muttered in his heart, Alan also likes Chinese culture very much, but he has never had the opportunity to go, last time I heard that I may bring a Chinese disciple back next time I come back, he is also very excited, when the time comes to introduce you to each other, when it comes to this disciple, there is obvious light in Old Darren's eyes, and obviously Alan has not disappointed him

The second is an Indo-people, Indo-India is a multi-faith country, six or seven people per capita, so their religious culture is quite developed, my disciple is specialized in India-take statues of gods, from the well-known Brahma Shiva, to some gods in Buddhism, and even some minority beliefs, I have the opportunity to take you to visit his studio, he has been here recently, and then you will find that India-Du is not only a lot of people, but also many gods, unlike us, there is only one god, that is our Lord, As he spoke, Old Darren drew a cross on his chest again, and folded his hands together and said, Amen

The two chatted unconsciously for an afternoon, and later, Old Darren took Lan Dong out to rent a house, in Old Darren's own words, no matter what kind of artistic creation is carried out, a quiet environment is essential

Lan Dong gave him some money before coming here, but before he could go to the bank to exchange, he was pulled to the studio by Old Darren, so this rent was also paid by Old Darren, and Lan Dong said vigorously, he had to change the money, and he must pay him back as soon as possible, Old Darren saw that Lan Dong was so unfamiliar with himself, and it was only because the Chinese did not like to take advantage of others

When the two got home, they went to the nearby Chinatown again, of course, Lan Dong showed his hand to Old Darren again in the evening, and after eating, Lan Dong packed up his things again, and Old Darren drove Lan Dong to the newly rented house

In the evening, Lan Dongzi reported to Yu Yun what he had done today, and Yu Yun did the same, I have already gone to your mother's company to sign up today, and your mother has arranged a clerk's errand for me, and from tomorrow I will be a soldier under your mother

I'm a little afraid that I will not do well, and I'm afraid of being trained by your mother, I heard that your mother is an iron lady in their company, usually only she speaks in meetings, and other people can only listen, some time ago, do you remember the phone call we answered when we confessed to your mother, the cause of the matter was, your mother ordered to go down, that person immediately put forward a different opinion, and as a result, your mother invited him to other companies to put forward his views, and then she announced at the meeting, and then she put forward the opinions in the future, everyone just needs to implement them, There is no need to mention personal opinions, she is still emphasizing in the third that it is implementation, unconditional implementation, and there is no door to put forward opinions, so your mother has a nickname in the company, dictator

Lan Dong looked at the message Yu Yun sent to him, thinking that he hadn't officially started to work yet, and he had heard so many negative-side news/news, and it seemed that it was necessary to get an injection with his mother in advance, so Lan Dong broadcast Bai Hongmei's phone again...
