"The candidates and quotas for the Myanmar Pavilion at the Venice Biennale each year are the only candidates selected by senior government leaders and cultural authorities from among the National Artists Association. There are many respectable masters in the Art Association, and each of them is my elder, so I may not be able to get a place in this year. ”

Miao Angwen behaved very politely and smiled: "Maybe it's just the rumors." ”

He wanted to be polite in front of the camera.

All the content of the interview was passed in advance, and of course he knew that if there were no surprises, the place for the next national team would definitely be his.

Even if it is an all-powerful brother, this result is still too dreamy.

All roads lead to Rome, and he followed Brother Hao, and his artistic career debut was directly in Rome, the ultimate place of all artists' dreams, the world's largest and most top international stage.

Gu Weijing?

It's not worth mentioning, he's something.

In fact, the moment he stepped onto the stage in Venice, he didn't even deserve to lift his shoes.

The other party is just a baby elephant lost in the bushes, and Miao Angwen has reached the paradise of abundant water and grass.

Venice is such a paradise.

Even if there is no accident with the Miss Sakai in school, the chances of participating in the Japanese National Pavilion in her life may not exceed 30%.

Japan certainly has more places than Myanmar, and the competition is more than orders of magnitude.

Her father Sakai Issei doesn't have a place on the wheel, why should she?

"But I've heard that there is never anything in the art world that doesn't have real evidence." The female reporter also smiled, "At least, Mr. Miao." Not only have you joined the Yangon Calligraphy and Painting Association, but you are also about to join the National Art Association. ”

"This shouldn't just be rumors."

"I don't think so."

Miao Angwen nodded as a matter of course.

Brother Hao made him appear polite in front of the media cameras, but excessive humility is not a virtue that belongs to the artist.

"If there's no more qualified candidate this year, why can't it be me?"

He winked at the camera and asked rhetorically.

In 1800, with the approval of King George III, Turner was able to join the National Artists Association at the age of 24. He became the youngest alternate member of the arts in the entire history of the British Commonwealth. And you, when you achieved a similar achievement, were only 18 years old. ”

"Incredible. It's hard to imagine that I'm talking to such a young member of the arts. Miao, no, I shouldn't call you Miao, that sounds too frivolous. Mr. Miao Aung Win. It's hard to believe, isn't it? ”

The female reporter smiled like a flower.

There are only two kinds of academicians in Dongxia: the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.

In European countries, there are also special academies of letters or fine arts.

In other words, many national art associations and engineering academies have merged together.

The full name of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) is the Royal Society of Arts and Crafts, which includes the field of art and some fields of industrial manufacturing.

Similar to Marie Curie, and the portrait on the hundred-dollar head, Franklin, who pulls a kite to lightning, in the primary school textbook, when he was awarded the title of Honorary Foreign Fellow, was conferred on the Royal Society of Arts, not the Royal Society of Sciences.

It is not wrong for a female reporter to call Miao Anwen with the good-sounding term "academician of art".

He and Turner joined the two national art associations, and the two "art academicians" must be very different in the scope of world recognition.

However, in their respective countries, the level of respect and recognition is similar to the difficulty of joining.

The total population difference between the United Kingdom and Myanmar is similar, and the number of people in the National Artists Association is much smaller than the former, and each one is one in a million.

Personally, he joined the National Artists Association.

almost got the ultimate honor he could achieve in the official organization of the local society.

To put it more simply and directly.

If Brother Hao wanted, he packed up a member of the Yangon Calligraphy and Painting Association and threw it to feed the crocodiles, without even blinking a brow.

As for throwing an "academician of the arts" to feed the crocodiles......

To be honest, it shouldn't be impossible.

But more or less I will frown and consider whether the negative social impact of doing so is worth it.

"I don't deserve to be compared to a painter like Turner."

Miao Anwen continued to smile politely but humorously: "But on the other hand, I think the art industry is a very talented and inspirational industry. Joining the National Artists Association at the age of 18 is not incomprehensible. When Mozart went on a tour of Europe and was crowned by the Pope, he was two years younger than I am now. Europe can have its own musical prince. ”

"Could it be the son of a taxi driver. Can't we just work hard to become the prince of art that our country has cultivated itself? ”

Miao Angwen thought this statement was wonderful.

"Our own local prince of art" - this is the propaganda caliber decided by Brother Hao.

It is both a gimmick and an inflection of national pride in TV viewers.

The son of a taxi driver can also win the sympathy of everyone and the love of ordinary people, downplay the impact of high school students joining the Artists Association on the worldview of ordinary people, and reduce all kinds of conspiracy theories and backdoor suspicions.

Kill more than one stone.

"So handsome!"

"Really personable and well-behaved."

"Wow, does Senior Miao have a girlfriend?"

"I suddenly felt that this one was also a bit to my taste, just like a commoner prince."

In the face of great success, appearance really doesn't matter.

Miao Angwen is a bit ugly to be honest.

But under the background of the identity of a rising art star, what can it be regarded as?

A well-known Japanese comedy artist is uglier than the other, but many of their wives are genuine beauties.

Private school students have seen the world of flowers, but they want to be more realistic.

Know what a real quality stock is.

Many of the girls at Dulwich College have dreamed of becoming the wives of great artists, standing in front of the spotlight on the red carpet and attending various celebrity receptions.

Now this opportunity is in front of them, and many girls are looking forward to it, and even secretly resentful that they didn't start earlier.

"It turned out to be the Venice Biennale......"

The principal was also staring at the camera, looking as stunned as the students around him.

He is the head of the new campus in Southeast Asia that the education group hired with a high salary, and there are not so many private schools like Dulwich, everything is linked to money.

The better the teaching performance, the higher the performance bonus.

Conversely, if the teaching performance is poor and the financial statements are not making ends meet, the campus may be laid off and closed.

When Katsuko Sakai wanted to transfer in her final year, she was so happy that he was so happy.

A student who can easily get into a world-class university – this kind of teaching achievement is enough to raise his eyebrows in the annual report to the school board and the annual president's meeting.

Needless to say, the prize money is more than 100,000 dollars.

If the operation is good, it is not necessary to have the opportunity to be promoted and transferred to a branch school with a more favorable living and working environment such as London and Sydney.

So what would be the reaction of the school board to a student who could attend the Venice Biennale?

I'm sorry.

The headmaster couldn't even imagine it.

It can't compare to the piles of kings, princes, prime ministers, billionaires and Nobel laureates in the alumni list, Eton, Harrow and other truly high-end top aristocratic schools.

The most awesome students in Dulwich history have been two members of the National Academy of Sciences, and a few years ago, a well-known artist who won a gold medal at the Sydney Biennale.

These achievements are impressive.

But by the time they received these honors, they were all forty or fifty years old.

Decades after graduating from high school, it is always a pity that it is itchy to be used by the school for publicity.

Even so.

The bigwigs of the school board are also eager to print the big photos of these great people on all the leaflets, and then stuff every corner of their offices.

As long as investors and reporters come to the door, they will snap photos and talk about them as representatives and symbols of the "Dulwich Spirit".

A student who got a ticket to the Venice Biennale when he was still in school?

There has not been a single similar incident in the entire history of the school.

Joke.

What a concept!

Not to mention that Dulwich College is just a private international school, but since the establishment of the Royal British College of Art, has there ever been such a bombardment of students.

The principal wasn't sure.

Theoretically, he should have been ecstatic when he heard the news.

The most remote school in Yangon won such a super prize, and there is no better material for the school to use for publicity.

He could already imagine himself as a highly accomplished educator, with a dark bronze statue standing under the Dulwich headquarters building, glittering in the sunlight.

However.

The surprise was so great that he was suddenly a little uneasy.

"That's not right."

Miao Anwen won the contract of the Seoul Gallery, and the principal was able to accept it.

He had heard of the Three-dimensional Universe Modern Art Center, and it was indeed a serious large-scale gallery with a good reputation.

That being the case, this is definitely good news.

He didn't know how the student's portfolio came into the field of vision of a multinational gallery, maybe it was really the gallery's insight, maybe it was some kind of connection behind it.

It doesn't matter, the headmaster doesn't care at all.

Mrs. Cruz's daughter is also a contracted artist at a higher-profile Tokyo gallery.

In fine arts, half of the painting level is level, and the other half crosses the sea by the eight immortals behind them, each showing their magical powers.

The small local road is characteristic.

The more remote the place, the more off-road the road, no matter what method is used, you can be wild enough to send yourself to the signing list of multinational galleries, and the network is also a part of people's awesomeness.

Can be ...... at the Venice Biennale

Fuck！

This number is too fucking wild, and the heartbeat of the wild headmaster is pounding.

The jump made him feel a little scared.

He's been in the business for too long.

The most exciting feature of the art field is that it is mysterious, and there is big news every year, and you never know if the next genius who leads the world will become famous tomorrow. I can't guess whether the great painter with infinite scenery will collapse in the scandal that was exposed in the next second.

But the principal knows that the fame of every painter is not accidental.

Whether it's artistic speculation, tricks, or geniuses, everyone has already paid the price for it.

The more off-the-beaten-path success there is, the higher the price.

There are prices you can afford that will make you the next Andy Warhol or Hearst.

Some prices can't afford to pay.

will blow everyone associated into the bottomless abyss.

The headmaster felt uneasy by the stagnant atmosphere of the air around him and the shocking chatter of the Venice Biennale, and quietly took two steps back.

He still had a formulaic smile on his face, but he didn't really want to take the opportunity to be on TV anymore.

"Hell, don't you want to play so big. Pushing an eighteen-year-old high school student to the Venice Biennale? Crazy, this is the beginning of the whole world-famous super news, don't dare to play, withdraw. ”

He was far more experienced and mature than the astonished and adoring students in the room.

Therefore, the principal may be the only person in the room who smells the signs of the "god-making movement".

Art and sports are industries that like to launch "so-and-so gods", and the peak of the commercial value of Messi, Ronaldo, and Schumacher is calculated in units of $1 billion.

At its peak, Andy Warhol's total valuation may exceed 10 billion.

It's still tradable.

What about Leonardo da Vinci? What about Van Gogh? The GDP of the whole of Myanmar is only how much.

The interests of all parties involved in this are too great.

Sports also need solid sports results as the foundation, and art creates gods...... As long as there is enough cash flow and enough interest networks are created, any work can be hyped up.

Cold money, hot money, black money, white money, countless Interpol untraceable fund accounts money laundering flying.

The water is too deep.

Myanmar is not a place to live in peace, and the principal is a little scared when he thinks about it a little more.

It's good to be a principal of a small school with peace of mind and think about it carefully.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

He keenly smelled the restlessness in the air, and he was about to turn around and slip away, but was stopped by the reporter next to him.

"Mr. Headmaster, please wait a moment. I have one last question for you, and I would like you to answer it. ”

"Oh, the Venice Biennale is the supreme temple of the entire fine arts industry. As the principal, I can only say that Miao Anwen has excellent academic performance. If Miao Anwen can really participate in the exhibition as an artist, a Dulwich person will be proud of him. But such a big thing is not something that our school can decide, and I don't know much about the specific inside details, so you can consult the office of the National Artists Association and the Venice Organizing Committee for relevant information......"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Mr. Headmaster. We're not here to get your opinion on this. The female reporter smiled mysteriously.

"Oh?" The headmaster is strange.

"In addition to interviewing Miao Anwen, we also wanted to get to know another student. He is the subject of another recent rumor that we have learned from the Calligraphy and Painting Association. ”

"His name is Gu Weijing." The female reporter took a breath.

"To be honest, I was really surprised that these two things came together. At the same time that Miao Angwen joined the Artists Association, do you have anything you would like to express about the resume fraud scandal that your student Gu Weijing was involved in? ”

She was dagger and bared her fangs.
