The cruel reality directly slapped Gu Weijing in the face.

When he was removed from "Oil Painting" before, Gu Weijing didn't have too much resentment in his heart.

Anyway, the process of being named a "two-and-a-half-star" painter is like a dream.

I'm just a network painter who doesn't have any serious illustration works.

I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life.

Gu Weijing is willing to believe with beautiful and naïve expectations that the magazine is just struggling and hesitating whether he is a formal art worker.

As long as you paint a really good serious work, it will be seen by the top management of "Oil Painting", and it is completely logical to restore your own page in the future.

At this time, seeing Sir Brown buttoning his hat in such a fluttering tone in the video, Gu Weijing felt that he had a feeling of idol disillusionment.

"It turns out that the shareholders of the dignified oil painting magazine are just a group of ordinary people."

He was helpless and even wanted to laugh.

In fact, the profession of a great critic is not much different from that of a scholarly authority. If you look under a magnifying glass, you will always see countless human shortcomings.

Especially when it comes to the battle of aesthetic positions.

They would not have behaved more morally than Lysenko, who suppressed genetics, or Edison, who denigrated alternating current.

The only difference is that the artistic component is difficult to quantify.

Practice can prove the right or wrong of scientific theories.

In the field of art aesthetics, which is a completely subjective judgment, it is difficult to prove that critics are wrong.

It's because there is no price for saying something wrong, and when they suppress dissidents, they can often show no scruples.

"If ...... critics of Oil Painting magazine are lying, is there any way to punish them?"

Gu Weijing asked boredly.

Detective Cat is currently his biggest source of money and experience points.

just made a name for himself by chance, and inexplicably attracted the targeting of these bigwigs who can pinch themselves to death at will.

Gu Weijing was also very helpless.

No matter how hard you try, you may not be able to draw a good work, and if you paint a good work, you may not be able to get ahead - this is where the cruelty of the art industry is reflected.

"Do you care about detective cats?"

Katsuko Sakai asked confusedly.

This kind of thing is not common or uncommon.

Criticism is to make a living from criticism, and it is simply too normal for an art newspaper to scold a painter for everything.

It's just that the detective cat can gather the collective rejection of so many bigwigs and judges, which can be regarded as a spectacle in art history, and Picasso may not have this ability.

Knife Drawing ...... Well, listening to this genre of painting, Katsuko Sakai is instinctively not very optimistic about the detective cat.

She even had a score of seven and felt that maybe there was nothing wrong with the judges' evaluation.

The remaining three points hesitated,

Or is it because of the fleeting cover illustration on that screen?

Katsuko Sakai believes that a work that can make a little girl smile so innocently should not be worse than any worse.

"I just feel that these judges seem to be the sword of Damocles hanging over each of us. You say, the ultimate purpose of our paintings is to express ourselves or to please art critics? ”

Gu Weijing's tone was erratic.

He was a young man.

I've also encountered Brother Hao, Van Doorn, Tanaka Masa, and these files before.

In general, the world is still quite warm.

Cao Xuan, who is like an old child, Lin Tao, a master of Chinese painting, Uncle Sakai, a round, venomous and fair judge, and a gentle and elegant Mr. Sloth.

Even Mrs. Sakai, who looks scathing and high-minded, has a cute side after a long time of contact.

This is the first time that the dark side of the art top has been shown in front of Gu Weijing's eyes so nakedly and unadorned, which makes him a little unspeakably frustrated.

"The ultimate purpose of painting is to bring a new and unique artistic perspective to the world, so that everyone in the world can be touched by the throbbing of the soul for a moment, and ultimately affect the world. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, the painter should do more to express himself or please the judges. ”

Katsuko Sakai sighed and watched the fire on the candlestick beat: "That's a philosophical question. I believe that Raphael chose the latter, and he won the admiration of the archbishops, and thus the whole of Florence high society. I also believe that Van Gogh chose the former, he only sold a few guilders in his lifetime, but after his death it became an insurmountable peak in the history of art. ”

The girl noticed the low air pressure that shrouded her boyfriend's body.

"In fact, for the current detective cat, there may not be no chance of real fame."

Sakai Katsuko picked up the juice glass in her hand, gently held the cup with Gu Weijing, blinked her big lilac eyes and said, "As long as she can prove them wrong, it's fine." Art critics eat the bowl of rice of "authority". Authority is shattered, and in the eyes of collectors, judges without credibility are worthless. ”

"How?"

"There are two ways to deny authority, either it is a fact, or it is a greater authority. Renaissance painters, who were hated by this lord, could go to another king, and to provoke the Slockwinnie family, they could go to the Medici family. ”

Katsuko Sakai held up two fingers: "If there were a more top-notch art giant to speak for her, then the previous doubts would not be worth mentioning, just as the bishops of the regions would not have the courage to deny the achievements of the royal painters that the Pope likes." Regret ......"

"It is a pity that the magazine "Oil Painting" is the greatest authority of our time, and it is the Supreme Pope."

Gu Weijing followed Miss Sakai's tone and spread out his hands.

The people who can refute the entire jury of "Oil Painting" can barely make up a few people in the world.

Larry Gagosian's willingness to let go may be barely enough, Cao Xuan, and Yayoi Kusama can also be counted.

And Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami, in terms of sales, may be enough for hundreds of millions of dollars, but the status of art is still insufficient, and it can only be regarded as half.

Even if he confessed to Mr. Cao.

Could it be that he didn't even worship his teacher, so he was going to talk to Cao Lao for one of his illustrations to go out and work against "Oil Painting"?

Where does Gu Weijing have such a big face!

The affection is far from this point.

"In addition to top-down, it can also be bottom-up. The highest level of painting is the throbbing that touches the deepest part of people's hearts. If the work of the detective cat can set off a craze for the love of society as a whole. In the face of such facts, any public opinion in the critics is powerless. High up in the sky, Jérôme was once defeated by a group of nameless boys on the banks of the river. ”

Miss Katsuko's Jérôme is known as the heir of the neoclassical school, one of the top ten figures in the history of French art, a well-off background, an award-winning name at the Paris Official Salon, and a close relationship with the top of the government.

On the occasion of his death and the 100th anniversary of his birth, the French Parliament issued thematic commemorative stamps.

In his illustrious life, the old gentleman only overturned once, and the opportunity to come out on top of the impressionist painters by the academic critics of his predecessors.

He used his personal influence to expelle the Impressionists from all major exhibitions, high salons, and honorary evaluations of the French government.

If it weren't for the unreasonable and excellent painting techniques of the Impressionists, their "Salon des Losers" would still have caused a sensation on the streets of Paris and attracted the attention of major American collectors under the vigorous suppression and slander of the academics.

Jérôme almost succeeded.

either Caesar or nothing

This has also become a stain on Jérôme's life that cannot be washed away.

It is still believed that if it had not been for the suppression of Impressionism, this gentleman would have had the opportunity to hope to be treated as a member of the Panthéon in Paris, like Ingres, another master of neoclassicism.

At that time, Jérôme and the Impressionists were like the portrayal of the "Oil Painting" jury and the detective cat today.

"As long as the detective cat is outstanding enough, very, very outstanding, then you can make this scene happen again." Katsuko Sakai concluded.

"Perhaps, it is with this belief that Director Elena will make such a proposal at the shareholders' meeting of Oil Painting magazine."

Katsuko Sakai speculated about the mood of the big sister in a wheelchair in the video.

With this proposal, she forced herself and the other major shareholders of oil painting to the gambling table.

On one side is the honor of the Elena family, and on the other side is the aesthetic authority and academic credibility of the twelve artistic predecessors.

Put all one’s eggs in one basket.

Miss Elena has no way back with the detective cat.

There is no way out for these esteemed art critics.

"What a gamble." Katsuko Sakai thought to herself.

Even the little African painter probably couldn't have predicted that one of his small illustrations might affect the direction of the entire art industry in the future.

Does she really have a chance to work miracles?

……

The sky takes on an orange-red glow of lemon and flame in the setting sun.

After dinner,

The female bodyguard packed up the cutlery and takeout boxes.

Katsuko Sakai walked out of the porter hut and silently stared at the burning clouds in the sky for a few seconds before changing her mind.

The determination to work hard to improve one's painting is not just words.

See such a beautiful sunset.

Miss Katsuko set up a small easel and decided to add an exercise to herself, draw this burning cloud, and then go back to the hotel.

Awang, who woke up, lay at her feet and contentedly nibbled on a piece of veal that Katsuko Sakai had left for her, ignoring Jasmine who ran over and wanted to continue playing with it.

The cats are already angry!

Children from orphanages don't have the habit of feeding cats with French dinners.

Just now, Ngawang smelled the enticing aroma coming from the hut, and tried his best to drill into the hut, but was driven out by Jasmine every time.

TMD has no conscience!

Lao Tzu played with you all afternoon, but he was not even willing to give you delicious food!

It's still the big sister who has the fresh smell of strawberries on her body and is cute, and she has meat to eat.

Ngawang rubbed his head against Miss Sakai's ankle, and continued to happily hold down the beef cube with his front paws, biting in small bites.

Gu Weijing didn't go home either, he wasn't in much mood to appreciate the quiet and beautiful scene in front of him, and kept looking at the phone screen.

It was inadvertently mentioned today by Katsuko Sakai.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

At this time, a check on the Internet found that the discussion on the Internet about the oil painting shareholders' meeting and the detective cat is not low in related fields.

In addition to the video they saw at dinner, there were bloggers who specially edited the video clip of Miss Elena holding the "Little Prince" sample book and made a video.

He posted the link in the comment section of Mr. Hyperion's [From One Dollar to One Million Dollar Drawing Challenge] in the name of "Fairy Sister's Plot Follow-up".

Mr. Hyperion's program has been online for a short time, and the popularity is still unabated.

Today, it still has more than one million views per day.

Under the drainage of the world's No. 1 Internet celebrity, the attention of this topic is rising.

Even on the art section of the Reddit community, there is already a special section of "#说说看, is the detective cat a real artist".

Messages from netizens from all over the world flashed on the screen in front of me.

"Oil Painting magazine is really going to change, is the "Oil Painting" without the imprint of the Elena family still the previous "Oil Painting"? I decided not to do it. ”

"I hate you unprofessional enthusiasts. What we respect is the artistic accomplishment of the Yelena family, not this surname, how can a little girl who has only been an adult for a long time be equated with the Yelena family! According to this reason, Einstein's son must also be a great scientist. ”

"I don't care. I don't care about the Yelena family, I watched the video of the shareholders' meeting yesterday. So many old men bully a beautiful young lady. Poor thing, I want to hug her. ”

"Bro, take the taste. You know who they are, Anna Elena. Forget it if you don't have culture, have you watched Netflix's hit drama "The Crown"? At the coronation of the throne of Westminster Abbey, Elizabeth II was the special actor who watched the ceremony next to the Prince of Spain in the second row on the right hand, playing the role of someone's grandfather. Her father was a member of the European Parliament. When they were born, Archduke Otto personally went to the delivery room to congratulate them. Conservatively speaking, there are hundreds of millions of euros. The gas money she burned on her private jet overnight is enough for you to deliver takeaway for a lifetime. Sympathy for this kind of princess? Did you take too much medicine last night, or did you kneel on your knees for a long time and couldn't stand up? ”

“？？？ Your focus is strange. I'm the only one curious about what this detective cat is like! Why can the shareholders of "Oil Painting" magazine be brought out separately to discuss? On the occasion of such a big acquisition proposal, it is really paradoxical to turn your head to discuss the level of an online illustrator, and the difference between the views of the two sides is so big. ”

"What else can there be, this Miss Elena has misjudged and is still stubborn. When the Hyperion video was broadcast before, I felt that such a young female judge was too unreliable. Not long ago, Van Doorne also came out to make trouble. She herself casually said a few words, and she ruined the reputation of Master Van Doorne for so many years, what a villain. ”

"I don't understand, why can't it be the shareholders who are at fault?"

"Upstairs, I'm an art student, believe me, when I look at the faces of these old gentlemen when I watch the video, I feel the urge to kneel."

"Brother, get rid of the word impulsive. I also work in the gallery industry, and just seeing the names of these shareholders makes me fall to my knees. I'm 100% sure that this detective cat is completely finished. She has an option to reopen her career......"

“……”

The page is constantly refreshed.

Whether it's a Reddit discussion group or Twitter, the overall public opinion reversal is not good at all.

People always prefer to believe the words of experts.

There is also a moderator on the board who opened a poll called "Are you optimistic about the artistic level of the detective cat", and currently 1631 people have voted no, and only 197 people have chosen yes.

Look at public opinion.

Most of these people who voted "yes" were because of the sympathy points that Miss Elena gave him.

"Hey, take it easy. If the detective cat really paints a beautiful work, the beautiful artwork will speak. ”

In the process of painting, Katsuko Sakai looked at the faces of the people around her from time to time.

Gu Weijing seems to care a little too much about the detective cat.

The girl looked at Gu Weijing's face becoming more and more gloomy, she suddenly put down her paintbrush, walked over and hugged her boyfriend's neck.

Miss Sakai took Gu Weijing into her arms, patted him on the back softly and comforted, "I don't know why you are so worried Gu Jun. But don't be afraid, although you are all painters from small places. But you're different, you're not a helpless detective cat, you're my boyfriend. So I'm not going to let the same thing happen to you. ”

Originally, I should have been able to write about the release of "The Little Prince" today, but I will make a train tomorrow, and I will change it tomorrow.
