"Professor Sakai, I wonder if Gu Weijing can help you, check information, run errands, etc."
What Gu Tongxiang said was very good.
To be able to run a gallery for half his life in the chaotic current situation in Myanmar, the old man may not understand academics, but he understands the world.
Uncle Sakai’s original words are that it is not difficult to publish a good paper if there is someone to guide you.
But what the old man said was still to ask Gu Weijing to help Professor Sakai, not to ask Professor Sakai to guide Gu Weijing.
The latter is too greedy, who should be the master and who should be the second.
Mr. Gu Tongxiang was very clear in his heart.
A professional paper in the liberal arts can often be hundreds of thousands of words long.
If the publisher is interested, many art doctoral theses can be directly compiled into a book and published.
This is a subject about the mysterious female Impressionist painter of the 19th century. Of course, it may be more difficult to find a painting than to write a thesis.
But simplicity is also relative.
Even if it is an SSCI, Gu Weijing does not have the ability to complete this paper alone.
It’s not just a question of the depth of the article.
Liberal arts papers of the magnitude of aaaahci all have a standard format, which requires professional expression and authentic English wording and sentence making.
Daily English and academic English are two different concepts.
It is somewhat similar to the imperial examination in the Eastern Xia feudal era.
Wanting to be published in top literary journals requires not only in-depth articles, but also beautiful writing and elegant words.
The wording is wrong, and the experts who reviewed the manuscript are too lazy to read it.
Not to mention that Gu Weijing was a middle school student who was born in Yangon and far away from the cutting-edge art field.
Even professors in many majors cannot meet this requirement.
Therefore, in countries where English is not the native language, there are fewer people who can publish an aaaahci than those who can publish a top-level science paper in a nature-related sub-journal that emphasizes experimental data.
If such an article can really be produced, the main credit and efforts must be made by Professor Sakai. The most that Gu Weijing can do is put a name at the end of the paper.
Don’t be dissatisfied,
Professor Sakai is willing to let you have a name, so you are actually getting a huge advantage.
A stingier scholar, after hearing the secret of this painting, would have kicked Gu Weijing away long ago and went to write his thesis in private.
“This paper doesn’t need to be too long, and it shouldn’t be too long on this kind of topic. It’s probably only a few thousand words at most, or even one or two pages. Can you? Facing the temptation of aaaahci, Uncle Sakai hesitated for a moment.
He finally made up his mind and wavered.Head "Gu Weijing can just write it. I can provide guidance. There is only one request."
"You say"
Being hit by a pie falling from the sky, Gu Tongxiang Extremely happy.
At this time, Uncle Sakai just wanted the painting itself.
As long as the paper can be published,
I will be happy with it.
Tens of thousands of dollars is certainly a lot,
but tens of thousands of dollars to publish an article that can last a lifetime is a great deal.
Articles in the liberal arts are not like science and engineering papers where tens of millions or billions of dollars are often spent on experiments, but let alone 60,000 US dollars, even 600,000 US dollars can produce an aaaahci , those top colleges and universities can also wake up from their dreams with laughter.
If nothing else, the annual basic salary of a tenured professor at a prestigious university is at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is just a drop in the bucket compared with scientific research funding.
If this painting is really an early Impressionist work in the 19th century, it should be worth more than 60,000 US dollars, but it usually only ends up being a few hundred thousand US dollars.
And the price of art auctions is unpredictable.
Even Andy Warhol and Pop Art, which have been popular for twenty years, have been in decline in recent years and have begun to become less popular among collectors.
How much it can really be sold for,
God knows.
This is not a paper that is tangible and tangible.
"Since this painting was discovered by a young man, let him write it, and let Shengzi be the second author. What do you think, Mr. Gu? Shengzi is actually very familiar with the trend of art. His grasp and academic professionalism are great, and he is competent enough to do the work of reviewing information and writing summaries."
Uncle Sakai pointed at his daughter.
"I"
Katsuko Sakai, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the drawing board and studying paints without any distractions, raised her head in surprise when she heard that there was something of her own here.
"Katsuko, this is your chance."
Uncle Sakai touched his daughter's head, with a smile on his face and his round body, like someone who was about to hand out gifts. Santa Claus.
The reason why he suggested publishing an article was to give his daughter the right to authorize an important article.
Although minors publish heavyweight papers, they are rare, but they occur every year.
At the University of Tokyo, which is ranked number one in Asia all year round, during the annual admissions interviews, there are many people who have three or four SCIs to their names. During the summer vacation, they went to the Malaysian Observatory and discovered an asteroid. Japanese Patent Office Class A patent holders
Many of these people have papers written by parents engaged in scientific research, and then have their children’s names on them.
The Japanese academic circle is highly closed, and everyone turns a blind eye.
Of course, there are also some really great people.
At Katsuko Sakai’s age, for art studentsIt is said that the awards that can be obtained have already been obtained with a soft hand.
But a high-quality paper still has a very different meaning.
Among the major countries in East Asia, it is indeed rare for women in Japan and South Korea to have such a low social status.
This is not even as good as Myanmar.
In the past traditional Japanese culture, the positioning of women's education still remained on becoming a good wife and a qualified mother.
Whether she is a qualified woman is more important than whether she is talented or learned.
Chizuru Ueno, a professor at Tokyo University, once angrily criticized society’s discipline for girls at the opening ceremony of Tokyo University in 2019, which is that while women maintain perfect beauty and youth, they can also perfectly Complete housework and childcare tasks, this is Japanese society.
At its peak, more than half of Japanese girls would become qualified housewives according to tradition after getting married, regardless of whether their career was successful or not.
Even Momoe Yamaguchi The diva is no exception.
Painters are like singers.
In fact, no matter how good my daughter Katsuko Sakai is at painting, as long as she develops in Japan, she will naturally be at a disadvantage in social relations in the future.
The identity of a scholar is different.
A heavyweight paper is the key to her breaking away from the shackles of fate.
Although there are few female scholars in Japanese universities, their status is very high.
If women can become tenured professors, society will simply regard them as gods.
It is true that wherever you go, someone will bow to you out of respect.
Especially female scholars who have published outstanding papers in the field of art are almost the best way out for girls, which is both noble and honorable.
Even the eldest princess of Japan’s current Reiwa royal family has chosen to become an art scholar and female doctor at the Tokyo Museum.
When Gu Weijing expressed his guess about this painting.
Uncle Sakai knew immediately that his daughter Katsuko Sakai was waiting for a perfect opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, when a paper is published at Katsuko Sakai’s age, people will always question the independence and originality of this article.
My father is a great artist, which has advantages and disadvantages.
To put it bluntly, some people will definitely gossip and think that this professional paper was not written by Sakai Katsuko herself.
However, in this situation, there are much less worries.
The thesis written by two young people, the origin of the paintings is clear, and the content of the article is not complicated.
Not only is there no question of someone else writing the paper for you, it is actually a good talk.
At least the papers published are more convincing than those "genius" high school students who use their "spare time" to do chemical experiments in the laboratory named by their father.
The other side of the earth.
For a long timeFor a long time, the city of Glitz has been the private garden of Austrians.
There are many museums and art galleries here, but unlike Vienna, which is crowded with international tourists, life is calm and indifferent.
Starting from Castle Hill, the highest point in the city, and heading east, past the Baroque-style Mausoleum of Ferdinand II, between the Gleze Art Museum and the Opera House with its golden statue, there is a blue-roofed building and a small building with red brick walls.
This is the headquarters of Oil Painting Magazine.
The ancestors of the Jelena family bought the building from the Austro-Hungarian government in the 19th century.
For the next two hundred years, whether in turmoil or peace, the world's artistic trends revolved around it.
Citizens of Gleze are also proud of Oil Painting Magazine and the art-loving Irina family.
It is said that any member of the Elena family can dine in cafes in the city for free, and any door in the city is willing to be open for them.
Even in the council chambers of city hall, they may be able to get through by virtue of their surname.
But today,
for the first time in the past hundred years, the last heiress of the Elena family was rejected by the oil painting magazine.
"Miss Elena, I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, but your work permit has been suspended."
Just now, Anna found that her office permit could not be used. Open the elevator door.
This kind of VIP elevator is exclusive to the upper echelons of the magazine and requires a corresponding permission card to unlock it.
Originally she thought there was a system failure.
The nurse aunt pushed her wheelchair to the front of the counter. The concierge lady took her work ID and fiddled with the computer card reader for a while, and then said with a confused look on her face.
"The file shows that you have been temporarily removed from the archive since yesterday afternoon."
"This is ridiculous. Is today April Fool's Day? Miss Elena Her family founded this magazine, and she is the owner of this magazine. Who has the right to drive the owner out of the house?"
The caregiver pushing the wheelchair had some disbelief on her face.
Anna waved her hand.
In principle, she does not actually own the magazine.
In the 1960s, in order to make the magazine more professional and public, Anna's great-grandfather transferred 70% of the magazine's shares to Austria for 1 Austrian shilling. National Publishing Group and European Fine Arts Association.
When Anna took over the family business, she was still the largest private shareholder of the magazine.
But the head of the magazine is Sir Brown from Denmark, the chairman appointed by the European Art Association.
Her only official status in the magazine is as senior editor and freelance writer of the visual arts column of Oil Painting Magazine.
If the management is unhappy with Anna, heOf course we can fire an editor.
"This is directed at me"
Anna knows that the magazine has been in trouble in recent years, especially after the death of her aunt.
The new generation of management is often dissatisfied with the fact that the oil painting magazine has too many personal imprints belonging to the old-era Irina family.
It’s just that everyone’s friction is usually carried out in secret, and on the surface they are at least on good terms with each other.
This is the first time that something like this has been blatantly targeted at me.
Anna took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her gray women's suit and dialed a number in her address book.
There was a long beeping sound, but no one answered.
She hung up the phone expressionlessly and clicked replay again until she played the phone number for the third time. This time, the call finally got through.
"Chairman Brown, I would like to make an appointment for a meeting. No, I am not asking for your opinion. I am informing you to arrange a meeting. As a private shareholder, this is my right."
p>Ten minutes later, on the top floor of the Oil Painting Magazine headquarters, in the chairman's office.
"Welcome, my child. Tea and coffee"
Sir Brown is seventy years old this year, but he is very energetic and has a small white peak on his chin. He has a swollen beard, but his hair has been dyed thinly, and there is no trace of gray hair.
He looked very kind. He didn't look like a professional manager, but more like a kind old professor in school.
"Would you like some cherry preserves from the Philippines? It suits my taste very well."
Sir Brown pushed a small silver preserved fruit box towards the opposite side of the desk. "Sorry, Regarding the work permit, I planned to go to Elena’s manor tomorrow to explain the magazine’s decision to you in person.”
“You want to fire me”
Ana said coldly. asked.
"Of course not, who can fire a lady named Elena here?"
Sir Brown smiled a little sarcastically.
As the current head of the magazine, he does not like Anna's influence in the magazine.
But he is still unwilling to fire the last heir of the Elena family.
This is a huge scandal for both parties.
"It's just that we need to have a necessary conversation. You also know that our magazine has encountered a little trouble recently."
Sir Brown handed over some newspapers.
"Although those media reports are nonsense, we still have to consider the negative impact it has caused."
Anna took the newspapers and magazines and flipped through them casually.
The first picture was the front-page news of theoon that I had seen.
"Since the reports are all nonsense, then why should we bother with them? We are not politicians. When do we need to care about reports from vulgar newspapers such as The Moon?"
Anna looked directly into Sir Brown's eyes, "Is there anything else I don't know?"
"Now that I've said it, honestly, yes."
Brown Jazz shrugged.
“I have received news that De Jong Van Doorn does not want his name to appear in the same art review as an online illustrator whose original name is a monkey wielding a paintbrush. Guide. He thinks this is an insult to him. If we don’t cancel his account, we will contact the lawyer to sue the magazine.”
“Then just cancel his buyer’s guide. Does the oil painting magazine need to pay attention to the threat of an insignificant old gangster who can only draw some empty lines that madmen babble about?" Anna did not flinch.
"Son, before you make any conclusions, I suggest you take a look at this."
Sir Brown handed over a fax of the document.
Anna took the document and glanced at the two lines, her face as cold as ice.
The file is actually not long.
The content is nothing more than blaming the oil painting magazine for actually going so low as to hire an inexperienced girl like her to rely on her family name to become an art critic, and allow an online comic illustrator to do something so ungentlemanly. The young painter appeared in the painter recommendation column of Serious.
The person who wrote this fax said that he believed that the oil painting magazine had lost its professionalism and hoped that he could withdraw from the buyer recommendation of the oil painting magazine.
Van Dorn is not the only one with a posthumous signature.
A total of seventeen well-known painters headed by Van Dorn.
Van Doorn has a wide range of connections in the art circle. Many of these names are close friends of Van Doorn, and some of them are because the paintings have been used by Anna in spicy terms in past art reviews. The guy who criticizes in a useless tone, and holds a grudge because of it.
At this time, they also seized the opportunity of hot public opinion and jumped out to sign a joint name.
Van Dorn may really be an old gangster, but his connections are beyond doubt.
He himself is by no means insignificant as Anna said. Together, these seventeen names would make even the top management of the oil painting magazine feel embarrassed.
“This is a forced labor. They don’t really want to withdraw from the oil painting magazine, they are just demonstrating. An art criticism institution compromises with artists. If this happens once, it will happen again.”
Anna shook her head.
"And I stick to my point of view. The lady who detects the cat is an excellent painter. Her painting level and artistic accomplishment are enough to meet the standards of being published in oil painting magazines."
She was not willing to compromise "Detective Cat" at all
"Maybe, kid."
Sir Brown's tone became impatient, "You haven't understood what I'm saying yet. Anna. Detective Cat, maybe she is enough, maybe she is not, it doesn’t matter. People can’t live in the world of art forever. The topic we are discussing today has nothing to do with art, but only with reality.”
"The reality is that your behavior caused a public relations crisis for the oil painting magazine. ”
“In view of the public opinion on the Internet, I have asked our editorial department to withdraw the buyer recommendation on Detective Cat. "
Sir Brown said in a polite but unacceptable tone.
He continued, "And I need you to write a formal letter of apology to Mr. Vandoorne in order to obtain the other party’s understanding. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
