Sir Brown's speech was clearly polished.

If it was the Austrian president who made a joke about the terrorists blowing up the venue, it would seem a little out of line.

For a witty and sharp art critic of his status, the scale is just right.

Light-hearted and witty little jokes.

While shocking the spirits of all the live broadcast viewers, almost every guest present had a strong sense of psychological identity with the statement that "they can be equated with art itself".

"I should call the producer of Netflix and ask him to add it to Cui Wa's stand-up comedy streaming special this year."

Gao Guxuan, who was in the first row of the audience, waved his hand and responded loudly.

Everybody knows.

Gagosian has a large network of contacts in Hollywood and New York Broadway, and many big directors and superstars are long-term clients of Gagosian Gallery.

"Remember to ask them to give me the royalties, you know my bank account number."

Sir Brown instantly pointed at Gagosian.

A brief moment of astute interaction was followed by an explosion of thunderous laughter, applause and cheers.

Sir Brown stepped onto the podium for two minutes and spoke only three sentences, the rest of the day almost so loud that the applause was too strong to allow the speech to continue.

Of course, this is not all a good reason for his jokes.

Just listen to this formation.

No matter how dull the person is, or the audience who has just turned on the live video, and does not know what happened before, will also understand that the old gentleman who is now on the stage, he and all the guests who have appeared on the stage before are not heavyweights.

Brown finally stretched out his hand, and clenched his fist diagonally upward, as if the orchestra conductor had drawn a rest in the movement.

The noise died down.

"It's time for jokes, but seriously, this year's conference lineup is a bit fantastic, isn't it?"

"It's hard for me to imagine who an old man like me would call an old man, but today, when I meet Master Cao Xuan, I still have the same feeling as the principal of the school when I went to boarding school sixty years ago. I even feel like I'm going to be hit on my calf with a stick in the next second. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for making me feel that I am still young, still know how to be humble, and still be a young man who listens to teachings in front of these respected old gentlemen."

Of course, we must not forget Mr. Richter, who was absent from the annual meeting due to health reasons. By the time the first European Art Congress was held in 1971, they were already artists with a worldwide reputation. Today, 50 years later, they are still here. ”

"The erosion and weathering of time is the eternal enemy of the work of art. But some of the greatest and most brilliant masters of our time, they have successfully conquered time. Without their contributions, there would be no art landscape in today's world. ”

"Please let us salute them with a round of applause."

"It's an honor to be under the same starry sky as the brightest stars in the night sky. We shine with your brilliance. ”

Sir Brown was the first to stand on the podium and was the first to applaud.

What I think in my heart, how to negotiate the contract is a private matter, and the superficial articles on the speech, Chairman Brown does not be ambiguous at all.

He has only one enemy today, Anna.

There is also only one mission, to eradicate the last trace of the Elena family that hangs over his head.

Eat the rice in one bite.

Before an enemy completely steps on his breath, even if he is unhappy with these old antiques who don't give him face, it is not a wise careerist's behavior to make unnecessary enemies.

When negotiating contracts, he will use the true character of a businessman, and he will compare the baht.

The attitude that can be given in the spotlight is still to be given, and beautiful words don't need money.

Again.

If he wants to make a lot of money in the Dongxia market, he can't eat and smash the pot.

There should be a kind of praise without cost, as long as Cao Xuan wants to hear it, he can blow it without changing his face until the other party's ears listen to the calloon.

As long as he is not regarded as an enemy, even if others don't like him, it is often difficult to hate him.

Hypocrisy or cunning.

But Sir Brown has always been a sophisticated politician, and that's what makes him strong.

Even Gu Weijing felt comfortable listening to this.

If it weren't for Ngawang's fat ass pressing on his chest, he might have applauded as well.

The close-up shot of the camera was pushed to Cao Xuan.

In the continuous applause of the audience, Mr. Cao, supported by his assistant, stood up and waved his hand to Sir Brown on the stage.

Then he turned around and bowed slightly to the guests who applauded him in return.

"In addition to the older generation of masters, there is also a new generation of the most authoritative and accomplished young art scholars."

Sir Brown's tone paused slightly, and he looked at the audience with a smile on his face.

"Our beautiful Miss Anna Elena. Of course, some of you are familiar with her, and some of you are still not familiar with her. This is a very good, quite powerful genius girl. By the way, everyone should know the name Yelena, she is also one of the richest art collectors of our time. ”

"Last year, Christie's in New York attracted everyone's attention, and the legacy of Microsoft founder Paul Allen was left behind during his lifetime, and the $1 billion 'Paul Secret Collection' collection was auctioned off, which is just like an iceberg compared to the wealth of this young lady."

"The great Elena surname, the owner of this generation. The most prominent female representative in our industry. Everyone applauded and welcomed. ”

The camera pans to Anna to the side.

Anna couldn't see the expression on her face, and in the applause, she waved her hand reservedly to everyone.

Sir Brown gave Anna a playful look.

"Kill."

Cao Xuan sat back in his chair and muttered to himself.

"Anyway, it's not for you, what's the matter with us? You deserve that name. I'm starting to like this Sir Brown. Lao Yang said with a smile.

The words are all pretty words.

It may not sound so comfortable to others.

The white-eyed grandfather of Cao Xuan, Richter, and Yayoi Kusama, the old woman is the brightest star of our time, and no one will feel wrong at all.

How many more years will they live?

No matter how narrow-minded and small-minded people are, they will not be dissatisfied with the status of these masters who were able to sit with Picasso and create an entire modern art style.

People are rare in their seventies.

When he is close to 100 years old, he is the legendary Renrui, and they are all half-human and half-immortal mythical characters such as Peng Zu, Chen Chuan, Sun Simiao, and Zhang Sanfeng.

Artistic achievements aside.

Just to live to this age, in ancient times, in the West, it is not possible to give you the manifestation of the Heavenly Father, and give you a saint on the spot, to the East where Confucian culture attaches great importance to filial piety, even if he goes to the Baisuo banquet to pull Qianlong's beard, will it be difficult to say in private between the nine clans Ninggu Taya, at least on the bright side, the emperor does not dare to worry about you.

They have become some kind of political symbol representing the celestial phenomena.

Especially after Cao Xuan announced the closure of the pen.

This will allow you to be a master who has little or no direct competition of interest with any of the attendees present.

This is really a fragrant old fairy.

The premise for Sir Brown to beat Cao Xuan with the contract is that he feels that deep down the other party still wants to make money again and become an artistic leader.

If it were an old Cao who really had no desires.

to this location.

Sir Brown could only put him respectfully on the altar, three pillars of incense in the morning and evening, and prayed that others would live a free life for other people's gods, and never come to hinder himself.

He was completely invincible.

But Anna is different.

Mark Twain said that in the United States of his time, young and beautiful women were almost purely synonymous with admiring vases.

The younger you are, the more beautiful you are.

The more this is equated with "unprofessional" in people's minds.

Gender discrimination in the workplace still exists today, which is an objective fact, and in some cases there is a strong commonality between the art scholar industry and the old Chinese medicine industry.

They do not discriminate against young women.

They discriminate against all young people equally.

If in the public eye.

A scholar, male or female, is 100 points out of 100 for youth, beauty, and professionalism.

So Miss Elena is in such a situation.

Professionalism is probably negative.

It's almost like putting a "I'm an idiot, I don't understand anything" strap on his forehead.

It sounds a bit artificial, but in many cases, a beautiful appearance will bring more industry resources and attention, but it will also bring trouble.

Anna uses a voice changer to create an anonymous podcast under the virtual identity of Mr. Sloth, whose initials were neutral rather than full during her time as editor of Oil Painting magazine.

It's because of this trouble.

Again.

Take 10,000 steps back.

Even everyone present knew that she was really talented and rich.

So what?

What kind of occasion is it today, if there is no name Elena, how old can she be?

How can Anna enjoy the title of "the most outstanding female representative in the industry"?

Cecily Brown, the founder of Britson Gallery and currently one of the top three most valuable female artists in history, sat next to her.

Even if Sir Brown put the title on Downing in the back row.

are more qualified than Anna.

Everyone should have given the face of the closed disciple of the old Cao Immortal, and they also pinched their noses and admitted it, so there would not be too much controversy.

The influence of the Elena family is all due to the fact that she is a magazine of oil painting and a generous patron of the arts.

The participants in this annual meeting are all masters who have been famous for a long time, and there will be no shortage of sources of sponsorship for the exhibition.

And the heiress who was expelled from the board of directors of the magazine was like a fallen king who was driven out of the capital by the Praetorian Guard.

Why do you want to give you face?

Of course.

All of the people who can enter the New Arts Center are high-end people who stand at the top of the industry, and most of them are not so easily guided by Sir Brown's words.

Even many people are clearly aware of what Sir Brown is doing.

The co-founder lady sitting next to Lisson didn't know if she didn't want the scene to be too ugly, or if she was simply out of kindness.

When the camera came, she gently put her arm around Anna's shoulder to show encouragement and show that she would not be offended by this statement.

But the tens of thousands of art lovers sitting at home, via the news media on television and live on the web, have already begun to frown.

Gu Weijing is in the TikTok comment area in front of him.

In the rows of comments like "Little sister is so beautiful", "AWSL", and "screenshot success", some other arguments appeared.

"Legend has it that Sir Brown and the Elena family did not have a good relationship, and there were many conflicts. It seems that the legend is not credible, at least in terms of personal relationships, the chairman still respects and loves the Miss Elena quite a lot. ”

"Who's this hot girl? I don't think I graduated from college yet. If she is the most authoritative and accomplished young girl in the mannequin industry, I believe it. Art scholars? Hehe. ”

"Laughed, nepotism. I heard that Gagosian is not the same as Leonardo, quite single-minded, always like 20-year-old young girls, unswerving personal hobbies. If you fall in love with him, your worth can rise a thousand times. ”

"Idiot. Are you getting the wrong person? Didn't Sir Brown say that they belonged to Elena's family? A family of legendary large collectors. Gao Guxuan really dares to talk about this Anna (note) when he talks about twilight love, I really respect him as a man. It's hard to say which of the two of them will go and whose nepotism will be. ”

(Note: The same name stalk, in the gossip news, the Canadian female painter in her 20s who talks about twilight love with Gao Guxuan happens to be named Anna.) ）

"Cast a good tire. You're going to be born with the surname Yelena, have the best personal art collection in the world, and even if you're a dog, you can be in the front row of the annual meeting. It's really worthwhile for Cecily Brown, who has worked hard all his life, and no one else has to do anything and has a high status. ”

"I don't like her. No matter how beautiful she looks, it's so arrogant, I can smell the rotten smell of the elite class through the screen. Master Cao Xuan, who was over 90 years old, came and stood up and bowed to the audience in return. That's the humility of a great artist. This girl just waved her hand?"

"Silly [beep-], don't you know that she has a disability in her legs, and it's easiest for a keyboard warrior to hit a keyboard."

Fierce quarrels, unconsciously, began to spread in the online comment area.

This year, when everyone goes online, they are angry.

When a spark is buried, cyber violence begins to grow like a snowball rolling down from the top of a mountain.

"What do you think she can do?"

Gu Weijing was a little worried about Miss Elena's situation, the two sides had never known each other, but this young lady was indeed his Bole to a certain extent.

If it weren't for that special coincidence.

He may still be selling his illustrations online for ten dollars.

Ngawang could not comprehend the distractions of the world and continued to purr loudly and happily in response to his soft sighs.

He struggled to throw the cat on the mat on the side, took out his phone, edited a message and sent it to Mr. Sloth.
