One week later.
"A Myanmar Mirror, thank you."
Gu Weijing stopped in front of the newsstand, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and looked at the stall with some dark skin. said the Lord.
Morning jogging has always been his habit. Only a healthy body can have a longer artistic life. Painting is an industry where emotions fluctuate violently during creation.
Few of the great painters in history lived long.
On holidays when he was not in school, he would start from the calligraphy and painting shop every morning, listen to the small languages that French Radio International School requires art classes to take as electives, and run along the road paved with bluestones to Yangon. On the embankment of the river.
After jogging along the Yangon River for twenty minutes, we returned to the calligraphy and painting shop and bought a copy of Myanmar Mirror from the newsstand.
As the only two national newspapers currently available, many old Yangon people have the habit of reading the Mirror.
For example, his grandfather, as electronic media becomes more and more developed today, Gu Tongxiang is still used to making paper newspapers every day.
"Brother Gu, I'll pay."
A non-mainstream guy with yellow hair sucked on his slippers from nowhere and walked over. He casually took out two crumpled Burmese coins from his pocket, tossed them to the shopkeeper, and then grabbed a mimeographed newspaper from the newsstand.
"First, I am not Brother Gu, I am just a middle school student. Second, I have no ability to help Brother Hao, thank you."
Gu Weijing gave one hundred taels He put the coin on the newsstand, nodded to the stall owner, ignored the ugly-faced boy on his side, turned around and left.
He now encounters these Shamats who appear out of nowhere every morning when he goes for a morning jog. These people don't do anything else but pester him.
This is obviously a new strategy for the bald man to win over himself.
No matter what Gu Weijing thinks, he just creates the feeling that he is entangled with them.
People have inertia, and over time, when others criticize them, they will not be in the same group, but they will also be in the same group.
Should you call the police?
First of all, why should you call the police? Is there a non-mainstream guy who pays me all day long or a bald brother comes to give me red envelopes during the Spring Festival
Secondly, if the patrol is useful, why do we need the underworld?
According to city rankings such as The Economist's, Yangon's safety score is always ranked last in the tourist city rankings with Kuwait City or Colombia's capital Bogotá. As the three suffering brothers, they take turns to occupy the last place.
This country is not a stable place.
The reason why Baldhead maintains restraint and gentleness is that the location of Gu's calligraphy and painting shop takes a lot of advantage.
The Yangon River Basin is an important tourist area for welcoming foreign friends from Eastern Xia, Japan or Europe. It generates a large amount of foreign exchange every year and is also the place with the most stable security in the entire Myanmar. It is too ugly to be justified. .
This is also the confidence that Gu Weijing can "pull" each other with a certain tacit understanding.
If you go a few hundred kilometers further north, you don’t have to enter the jungle. You just need to leave the control area of the government forces and come to the territory of warlords and drug lords.
Then it is no longer a question of whether he has the courage to reject the underworld.
Otherwise, he would use the supreme courage of the movie "Escape from the Amazon" to start escaping, playing wilderness survival while hoping to get We need help from the fellow villagers on the border, otherwise the whole family will die, and there is no third way.
Of course, there is no one who can’t think of opening a calligraphy and painting shop in the Golden Triangle.
The bald method is simple and effective, and the young painter who hangs out with counterfeit cultural relic dealers
is scary.
No matter how Gu Weijing defended himself, he had noticed that the other cultural and creative antique merchants on this street looked at him differently.
He shook his head and walked towards home.
At the same time, it was dusk in San Francisco, the United States.
Thomas, who had just received the "Honorary Citizen of San Francisco" status from the Mayor of San Francisco at the dinner, was being driven back to his home in the "Pacific Heights aciificheights" community by his own bodyguard.
Pacific Heights in San Francisco is one of the most famous wealthy residential areas in the United States. The selling price per square meter is as high as US$260,000. It is similar to Beverly Hills where Hollywood celebrities gather, but it is even more expensive. Low-key and youthful.
Most of the people who can settle here are the bosses of Silicon Valley technology unicorn companies worth more than one billion US dollars, or the heirs of the world's top energy giants.
However, Thomas is neither a technological upstart nor a rich second generation whose family has a financial fortune waiting to be inherited.
He is a vlogger.
If there must be an attributive to this identity, then he is the most famous video blogger in the world.
No one.
If you want to ask Thomas Sebastian who he is
Most people will look blank, but if you see his face with green stubble, face, then most people will immediately recognize his online name on the video website, Mr. Hyperion.
Mr. Hyperion is known for creating some of the funniest and most eye-catching short videos in the world.
In his videos, he once spent millions of dollars to raffle off private yachts among his fans, and he also once live broadcasted a villa to a delivery boy.
Today, on YouTube, his following number has exceeded 150 million fans.
This number is approximately equal to five hundred Icelands, thirty Norways, seventeen Switzerlands, three Spains, or half the United States.
According to the analysis of the data company, the "rating" of watching his videos exceeds that of the ace talk show owned by the American ABS TV station with a valuation of more than 100 billion US dollars. His number of fans is approximately equal to that of Hollywood's topMovie stars Al Pacino and Daniel Washington combined.
Every year, YouTube alone earns him close to 100 million U.S. dollars from video creation based on fan views. He also has his own website, trendy brands, peripherals, and commercial cooperation.
The New York Times called Mr. Hyperion "the greatest Internet miracle in history."
Thomas himself was scrolling through his mobile phone at this time, preparing to shoot his new issue of "From One Dollar to a Million Dollars" series of short videos.
From one dollar to one million dollars.
This is one of his channel's most-watched series, with the past few videos having been viewed more than 300 million times.
The content of this series of short videos is to choose a theme and then upgrade consumption step by step.
For example, what kind of toy piano can you buy for one dollar? Can a piano that costs ten dollars produce sound? How does a second-hand broken piano bought at a flea market for one hundred dollars sound like? Until it costs one million dollars to buy it. The Steinway piano once used by Queen shows the audience what kind of sound it can produce.
Fans are very interested in such comparison videos.
Thomas has already completed piano, computer special effects, car and marine sports chapters ranging from one dollar to one million.
He plans to return to the artistic element theme of painting in his new video.
Painting artists are a somewhat mysterious profession for audiences around the world.
People know that the prices of works by different painters are very different, but they may not have enough appreciation to distinguish the differences.
In other words, ordinary viewers can only feel that a work is well painted and beautiful, but they don’t know why it is beautiful, what is the specific beauty, and why this painting is more expensive than the same work that looks similar. Thousand times.
In his new video, Thomas plans to spend one dollar, ten dollars, one hundred dollars, one thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars and one million dollars respectively for a total of seven different levels. Unknown painters commissioned works, and world-famous masters were invited to blindly rate these works from low to high.
"The show must be very explosive."
Thomas thought to himself.
There are fixed candidates for the one million dollar, one hundred thousand dollar and ten thousand dollar invitations.
They are Jane Arnold, who has won art awards such as the Turner Prize and the César Lin Prize, as well as the French Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters, the internationally renowned illustrator Jean-Julien, and a cutting-edge illustrator who graduated from the Royal College of Art. Peter Rosen.
With one dollar, he randomly found a homeless painter on the side of the road in San Francisco.
As for the ten dollars, one hundred dollars, and one thousand dollars, which are neither high nor low, he is ready to find suitable freelance artists on various part-time platforms.
Thomas opened Fiverr on his mobile phone, selected the art painter category, entered the amount "ten dollars", and clicked to filter.
