Chapter 335: Take sides
Lao Yang also watched the trailer of the interview with "Oil Painting" on the Internet.
Not only have I watched it, but I have also carefully played it several times.
When Ms. Tang Ning mentioned the issue of "successor", she did not let go of every change in her expression and eyes.
Lin Tao, a painter and professor in the ivory tower of the university, has a bad life experience, but his mind will be relatively pure.
is not as clever as Lao Yang, a layman rolling in the red dust and smoke, on all kinds of grievances and subtle little emotions in Vanity Fair.
It's his profession.
Lao Yang could see at a glance that Ms. Tang Ning was resentful and dissatisfied with the child Gu Weijing in front of the camera.
Plausible.
It couldn't be more reasonable.
In the newspaper, the millionaire's family inherits the inheritance, which child has a few percentage points more, a few percentage points less, and fights to buy murder.
Cao Lao's art status is worth more than a hundred millionaires.
After Picasso's death.
Those lovers, ex-wives, wives and children, beat their heads and bloodied, fought to the death, and I don't know how many committed suicide with the revolver, which makes the entire art world all pitiful and lamentable.
Haojie's family is always unfortunate, how can Cao Lao be an exception?
When Cao Lao made that bet under the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Lao Yang guessed that this scene was inevitable.
It's not a question of more money and less money.
The position is just that, and if you change it to the ancient officialdom, this is called the revenge of seizing the road, and this resentment is really not much less than that of murderous parents.
Tang Ning's anger was expected and reasonable.
Lao Yang can very well understand the mood of this painter who has been favored and radiant since he was a child.
She was angry and had nothing to blame.
It should be her thing, why was it taken away by the wild boy who came out of nowhere?
People just don't want to choose to be a saint.
Whether it is Tang Ning or Gu Weijing, Lao Yang hopes that if he can, he will not provoke him.
They are all disciples of Cao Xuan, the old immortal, and he is just a little ghost who pours tea and water.
Even if one is favoritous, which one is thicker and which one is thin, it is all Old Man Cao's own business.
Immortals fight.
He's a little devil who just needs to smile and greet him.
If he can not offend both, he is happy to be a delicate lubricant.
It's a pity.
Ms. Tang Ning is not willing to be at peace with Gu Weijing.
The interview with "Oil Painting" is only an attack on the surface.
Behind the scenes, Tang Ning directly called Lao Yang two weeks ago, and he really made a move.
"The old man is old, and sometimes he is not as shrewd as before, at this time, a personal assistant like you, Lao Yang, has to worry a little more, this is your duty, duty and obligation. My teacher has devoted his whole life to art, and the older he gets, the more innocent he becomes. But the hearts of the Taoists in this world are bad, don't let those who are not indiscriminate get close to Cao Lao's side to get cheap. ”
"In the end, the teacher is sad, and our brothers and sisters are also sad."
"If Lao Yang, you can help the teacher to check the gates, don't let the teacher get hurt, and drive those who shouldn't come away, all of us who are disciples will miss you in our hearts." Downing's tone on the phone was playful, "I have plans to open my own gallery in the future, and maybe I need an experienced professional to be the co-founder." ”
Lao Yang just smiled blindly.
He could tell that Tang Ning's words were beyond his words, and he wanted Lao Yang to help Gu Weijing stumble.
There are many ways to ruin an art student.
Anything that says bad things about Gu Weijing around Cao Lao and lowers his impression in Cao Lao's heart are all very childish means.
The risk is high, the gain is small.
It's too low-level.
Lao Yang didn't bother to use it at all, and he didn't bother to use it.
He let Gu Weijing easily get the admission letter of the world's famous school, which is a gesture of saying hello.
Let Gu Weijing be inexplicable, no matter how good his grades are, he can't go to the Hamburg Academy of Arts, and it's just a matter of lightly fluttering a sentence.
Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.
None of them are too explicit.
Lao Yang will look like he will take the trouble to prepare an application for Gu Weijing and approve the scholarship, as long as he does a little bit of tricks on the background materials submitted for review.
What ordinary people don't understand is.
All Southeast Asian students who apply to German universities are required to be interviewed by a special university according to policy.
The interviewer will give the person a score.
Including language, family conditions, criminal records and other aspects, a complex scoring system that is not published to the public is assigned, and only those who pass the basic security review can obtain a student visa issued by the German Foreign Office.
Lao Yang only needs to be diligent and simple in the materials, working hard, although his family is poor, he has lofty ambitions, these are basically the truth.
By the way, the university has decided to offer him the most exclusive scholarship, and the student himself will work and study in Hamburg while maintaining his studies.
These can also be truthful.
Submit this background information that looks like the inspirational story in the movie "Wind and Rain Harvard Road".
It would be better to add two more sentences to the appendix about his resentment at the chaotic political environment in Yangon, Myanmar, and his yearning for a welfare life in the developed countries of the European Union.
Such a politically correct good student wants to get a student visa in Germany, so naturally, it is ......
You can wait for the next life.
Background checks to stop terrorists or anything are incidental.
The main purpose of this interview review is to examine the student's family environment and determine their immigration tendencies.
International students are the most important foreign exchange earner for Western universities, and they are also one of the most important sources of income for the entire education system.
The most ideal portrait of the entire EU member states for their recruitment of international students is the princess and young master of the wealthy class.
The Oriental Internet feels that the international student group is generally very rich, not stereotyped, and the screening results of the university admissions department are skewed towards such students.
The university wants their international students to be as wealthy as possible.
It's best to buy a high-end apartment as soon as you come over, drive a supercar, eat, drink and have fun in college for a few years, and then get out of the way after graduation.
The German government does not want the students they recruit to take scholarships from the German financial department, study at German universities, enjoy local social welfare and educational resources, and rush to work opportunities for local Germans......
Is it really a university for charity?
Even if it is charity, why should it be charity to foreigners?
These seemingly good things are all points deductions in the background check.
Of course, this specific scoring standard will definitely not be made public, and not many people know about these things.
Lao Yang is one of them.
In addition, it seems that Gu Weijing's father himself took a permanent residence in France.
This kind of student is in the interviewer's mind, and the immigration propensity is simply so high that it explodes.
If you don't want to come over and study in college for a few years, you will stay in their country and stay there.
There is no need for Lao Yang to say a special hello.
With a normal family background, it is not easy for Gu Weijing to apply to universities in Germany.
The human heart is like a ghost.
It's too simple to harm this kind of child with no background.
CASUALLY OPERATED, GU WEIJING CRIED BITTERLY AND THANKED HIM FOR HIS GOOD BEHAVIOR, WHILE INEXPLICABLY, HE WAS PASSED BY THE INTERVIEWER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
I guarantee that even Old Man Cao Xuan can't see it, it's my own hands and feet.
Of course, Gu Weijing can go to other countries to study, go to France, go to Japan, and go to Dongxia to study CAFA.
It's just that don't want to go to the Hamburg Academy of Arts, where Cao Lao is located.
Good schools are everywhere.
The relationship between people is out, and the relationship between master and apprentice can only be taught if they meet each other day after day and hold small hands.
Can't go to school in front of Old Man Cao's eyes.
Even if this kid's good luck won Mr. Cao Xuan's favor at the beginning.
After accumulating thousands of miles over time, how can this affection be compared to those other old disciples, and how can it be close to Tang Ning, who was brought up by Cao Xuan since he was a child?
The so-called driving away those who shouldn't come is such a scheme.
"They're all smart people, and they're really calculating."
Lao Yang sighed in his heart.
When he hung up the phone, he clearly realized that Cao Lao "maybe" to accept an extra little disciple.
What a sense of crisis it has caused to the female painter who is currently the second most valuable painter in Asia.
Even the Gu Weijing child who was far away in Yangon might not be able to imagine it.
In order to keep him away from Cao.
Downing was even willing to promise such a benefit as "co-founder of the gallery" to Lao Yang.
Top art critics, top art creators, and top art market promoters, who can combine these three identities, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the art "God" living in the world.
Let any great collector get down on his knees and humbly kiss the instep of the Trinity God.
Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Turner, Monet and others had too low social status.
It's just artists who serve the Medici family or the royal family of Europe, and they are powerless to determine the aesthetic trends of the upper class and even the entire era.
Strictly speaking, the closest human history has come to this goal...... Maybe it's Song Huizong Zhao Ji.
Louis XIV also had the opportunity to approach this assessment.
He has managed to influence the art and fashion trend of the whole of Europe, but his own artistic creation level is really not good, so he can only be regarded as half.
Emperor Qianlong, the old man, had the same problem.
Song Huizong and the Sun King are also representative and shameful figures who show off their art and the country, and Jiuquan knows that they should not be so complacent about this honor.
But it also shows that in the feudal era when artists served the powerful, only the rulers of the empire in the real and practical sense were qualified to touch such influence.
In modern society, the society of artists is getting higher and higher, and they themselves have become part of the powerful with half a foot.
However, the whole art market form is at the same time, and everyone does not want such a "god of art" to step on everyone's head, and under such resistance, let alone the trinity, there are only four and a half people who can integrate the two identities of top art creators and top art market promoters at the same time.
Andy Warhol is Gagosian's signature and the godfather of Pop, but he can't escape the influence of the gallery.
Picasso and Mr. Cao Xuan did not have a fixed gallery to stand on their own, but because of this, their influence on the wealth of this art market was somewhat thin.
Damian Hirst was the closest to success, and in 2008 he ambitiously wanted to break away from Gagosian and set up his own art label with his team, but the isolation of many galleries and the criticism of Oil Painting magazine led to a collapse and a crazy drop in price.
Collectors who bought his works lost more than they earned.
Therefore, these four top painters can only be regarded as "half human", they are beyond the profession of painters, and they are not completely one.
Basically, the painter set up his own gallery and became the appearance of Anya in the jujube core space, which is already the ceiling of the industry.
Even if it's difficult.
There are still countless top artists who have never extinguished their ambition to start their own galleries and build their art brands.
I don't like to be raked, and whether there is a middleman to make the difference is a small problem.
The real key is that no matter how much you earn for the gallery, you are only a high-level worker, and you can set up your own gallery in order to completely hold your fate in the palm of their hands and become a myth in the history of art.
Over the past 50 years, generations of great artists have ebbed and flowed.
Only the names Gagosian, Lisson, and PACE will conquer time and shine through time.
Hearst has only hit the street once, and in a few years, the momentum has been less than 30% of the peak, and he may not be able to climb up again in this life.
Mars Gallery has been fighting for 30 years, but it has not given birth to an epoch-making painter, and it is still the head of the intercontinental galleries, which have not been taken off their hats, and their assets are hundreds of millions of euros.
Only by evolving into a brand can the vitality of art be forever young.
If you have to choose a side between Tang Ning and Gu Weijing.
Lao Yang must stand with Tang Ning, not to mention the status and achievements.
Even in terms of intimacy with Old Man Cao, even if Tang Ning is a little awkward, a child who has only known him for a few months is worthy of being compared with a closed female disciple who is treated as a daughter by Old Cao?
It's naïve.
Which is more important,
Obvious opinions.
It seems that Gu Weijing will be abolished, and Tang Ning's good fate will be worth it.
Co-founder of the gallery, this temptation is much bigger than hugging a yacht and going back to play, so big that it is really a bait on the fishing line, and Lao Yang can't help but want to swallow it.
It's just that after all, Lao Yang hesitated again and again, and wanted to speak several times until the phone hung up.
He still just smiled at Tang Ning and didn't answer the other party's words.
When the age of knowing the destiny of heaven is approaching, people's courage will be small.
It is probably his sleek creed of "making more friends and doing less evil" over the years that has played a role.
It may also be that hearing about the relationship between Miss Sakai and Gu Weijing reminded Lao Yang of the situation.
Without Cao Lao's line, Gu Weijing's kid is not a thing in the pool to be kneaded.
Artists' love affairs are not serious, and artists who have been married four or five times are everywhere.
The first love from the beginning to the end is also the same as myths and legends in the circle.
However, what if?
Miss Sakai and her parents are a rare loving couple, maybe they are acting for outsiders, but it is not easy to act for more than 20 years.
Maybe in a few years, Gu Weijing directly became Sakai Issei's son-in-law.
Maybe he will never know that he hurt the other party for the rest of his life, but Lao Yang doesn't want to have a landmine under his feet in the second half of his life, and he will be discouraged.
It's one thing not to stumble, and he won't resist the direct pressure of Ms. Tang Ning, and then send Gu Weijing to Cao Lao's side.
Let them make their own decisions about the affairs of their masters and apprentices.
"Hmph, no need, Gu Xiaozi can't even apply for a university, what else is there to say, let him take the exam by himself, and don't take these crooked slopes."
Cao Xuan knocked on the crutches and said lightly.
"Understood."
Mr. Cao Xuan doesn't like to use connections to go through the back door.
For such a big event as the Singapore Art Exhibition, he asked Gu Weijing to honestly submit his manuscript to the organizing committee from the audition.
Otherwise, even if the competition in this year's Lion City Biennale is fierce, Cao Lao will not have any difficulty in asking Gu Weijing for a seat in the master group.
Lao Yang nodded, and did not mention the matter of immigrant visas.
Since he threw this question out, he gave up helping Gu Weijing, knowing that this was the answer.
"Also, he wanted to send you a painting yesterday."
