Chapter 118: Attention from Publishing Giants

Gu Weijing regretted his gaffe.

I once mentioned this sentence when recording Mr. Sloth’s podcast, and now I say it in my own capacity.

There is some risk of being associated.

But

Today is Tuesday, and the salon program should be online now

"Hey, I originally wanted to have sex with you."

p>

Sakai Katsuko’s eyes suddenly lit up, “It turns out that you have also listened to the new episode of Mr. Sloth’s podcast.”

“What a coincidence, new In this online audio program, Detective Cat just mentioned a lot of papers that we have read together. Don’t you think we really have a tacit understanding with this sketch?"

Sakai Katsuko Marvel.

"Miss Katsuko, you are Mr. Sloth's audience." Gu Weijing looked at Katsuko Sakai and made sure there was no other meaning in her words.

“Hmm, I’ve been following his program since the third episode last year. This is the highest quality English art podcast in my opinion in recent years. Even my father thinks Mr. Sloth’s program is It sounds interesting."

Sakai Katsuko nodded.

She looked at Gu Weijing with a smile on her face.

The art podcast circle itself tends to be niche and professional.

Listening to a certain podcast is like listening to an unpopular band.

Sakai Katsuko was very happy to find that Gu Weijing actually had the same hobbies as her in a tacit understanding.

“I listened to this Art Salon program in the car on the way to school in the morning. I have to say that Detective Cat is really an amazing art master, especially the summary of Impressionism at the end, The warmth moved me."

Sakai Katsuko said softly.

"You like Detective Cat very much"

Gu Weijing looked at the look on Miss Sakai's face.

He did not expect that this girl, who was called a once-in-a-century painting genius by the Japanese media, was actually a fan of "him".

"Well, not only do I like her, I also respect her very much. I really hope to have the opportunity to meet this female illustrator."

Sakai Katsuko does not hide her love for the detective Cat respect.

Her lilac eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. "An Internet painter born in the art desert of the third world has such a deep understanding of serious art. I guess, her art The career must be very admirable.”

Girls know that the world is unfair.

Accepting the highest quality art education has always been within easy reach for Katsuko Sakai.

But in some places in Africa,

it may not be possible to find a professional studio within hundreds of kilometers.

A female online illustrator with a meager income makes a living by selling cheap illustrations for ten dollars a piece on the Internet. Through her daily study and hard work, she not only developsHe has masterful sketching skills and can also provide such touching insights into Impressionist art.

In Katsuko Sakai’s imagination, the poignant story here could make an inspirational movie similar to The Stormy Road to Harvard.

"Ms. Detective Cat is more admirable than ordinary art students like us. This is the soul that truly loves art." She praised.

Sakai Shengzi looked a little strange when he saw Gu Weijing's face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else"

She suddenly remembered that the boy next to her was from Myanmar and mentioned the term "art desert of the third world" in front of him , which is a bit arrogant and may hurt the other person's self-esteem.

Sakai Katsuko explained apologetically.

"You are already great. After all, we are still very young. There is nothing to regret if we cannot compare to Detective Cat. In another thirty years, I believe your achievements will not be lower than this master. ”

Sakai Katsuko opened a desktop podcast software on her laptop.

"No, before you came to the study room, I was preparing to review this podcast again and write a review after listening to it. I will update it on my social account. Do you want to listen together? ”

Sakai Katsuko plugged in the headphones on the computer, put on one herself, and handed the other to Gu Weijing.

Listening to the gentle female voice that he had processed with the voice changer sound card came from the headphones, which was a very novel experience for Gu Weijing.

Katsuko Sakai opens the audience comments below the podcast.

“Full of useful information Timeline Command 1. Detective Cat analyzes the painting techniques of white Lake Baikal. At 1 minute and 32 seconds 2. Curator Tonks questions the shortcomings of the painting, and Ms. Detective Cat judges the framing of the scene In a photo. 8 minutes and 19 seconds 3. Detective Cat discusses 19. Detective Cat talks about the aesthetic summary of Impressionism at 46 minutes and 31 seconds. To summarize, this program is full of highlights. It is recommended to listen to it from beginning to end. Don’t miss a second.”

Some fans have already made a timeline in the comment area.

"The sentence "We only record sunshine and air" is so powerful. I was so moved that I almost cried." Someone left a message.

“It’s too embarrassing, it’s too embarrassing, it’s too embarrassing. As a student studying oil painting at the University of Fine Arts in London, I declare that Ms. Detective Cat beat up Director Tonks. She is very interested in paintings. The understanding is really profound and clear. I suggest Mr. Sloth invite Detective Cat to be a regular guest. Even if it is changed to a paid program, I would like to listen," a netizen named johngasy replied.

"It cannot be said that Detective Cat is a painter by profession, while Mr. Sloth and Director Tonks are art critics and curators. Ms. Detective Cat has more details about painting. Deep understanding is normal."

This is a more neutral and objective fan's point of view.

“The normal o abbreviation makes me laugh to death, I am a professional painter.I am very responsible to tell you that Ms. Detective Cat’s interpretation of these five paintings seems to me to be no different from magic. This understanding of art has nothing to do with whether Detective Cat is a professional painter, it is simply because she is awesome. ”

Some fans refuted the above.

Although the podcast has only been online for more than half a day, the popularity of comments is already as high as that of Mr. Sloth’s previous programs. It was on the front list, and now it has nearly a thousand comments.

Gu Weijing saw that the most liked comment in the comment area was a reply from an author who claimed to be White Lake Baikal. The number of likes on the comment has exceeded 2,000 times.

“It’s amazing. I only know a few masters who can infer the environment of the painting just from the final effect of the oil painting. "

Sakai Katsuko looked at this comment and sniffed, "My dad may be able to do it, but I'm still far behind. I'm really envious. ”

Gu Weijing let out a slow breath.

It was an unexpected surprise for him to have personal affirmation from the artist himself in the comment area.

"It's simply amazing"

"og"

"Unbelievable, does this kind of judgment really exist?"

Under this explanation from the artist himself, many fans commented and posted to express their shock, and some mentioned Van Dorn.

“Now, let’s switch to Van Dorn. It's embarrassing. This is what he said. The African monkey illustrator is just not as good as others. He is like a clown who refuses to admit it. Fans of Van Dorn continue to scold you for having such a vision for the great artist you claim to be”

This time, no one spoke for Van Dorn under Mr. Sloth’s podcast.

All previous disapproval and attacks on Detective Cat’s aesthetics before the podcast was launched were all transferred to Van Dorn.

This is the only benefit of this kind of professional art podcast, the audience. The general art literacy is not low, and you can tell whether they are good or not

"They dare not speak at this time. If I were Fan Dorn, the best way now is to treat it coldly. Nothing happened. When the limelight is over and people forget about it, he is still the master of his art. "

"When the limelight passes, it may not be so easy. Go check out the tweet Director Tonks just sent. ”

Sakai Katsuko also saw this news.

Ignoring Wei Jing’s reminder, she clicked on the link below and jumped into the dialog where Curator Tonks received the message. The account of Taylor National Gallery Director certified by Twitter Blue V.

“Great artistic insight, refreshing, I like it. "This is a tweet that Tonks just sent two hours ago.

Someone posted a relevant photo in the reply comment area below.

The Tyler National Gallery is One of London's landmarks, it consists of a huge old power plant along the Thames RiverIt was renovated and has a total of eleven floors, including the Sculpture Gallery, the Modern Art Gallery, the Dali-Picasso Thematic Gallery and hundreds of large and small exhibition halls.

The number of visitors every year ranges from 5 million to 8 million.

There is a silver nameplate in front of each independent exhibition hall to introduce the specific collections in the exhibition hall, accompanied by a promotional slogan.

Some of the slogans are famous quotes by painters, some are quotations written by previous museum directors, and some modernist exhibition halls even have some funny jokes or symbols with unclear meanings in front of them, which are the characteristics of the museum. one.

Many tourists or travel bloggers will check in in front of these brands.

Katsuko Sakai has been to the Taylor Art Museum, and she remembers that the former nameplate of the Impressionist-themed exhibition hall was engraved with a slogan with a dark sense of humor.

"Be careful, this garbage is a denial of beauty and truth, and can only give people a crude impression."

The signature should be anidiotreorter, an idiot reporter.

This is when Impressionism was just born, a mainstream art journalist attacked Monet’s own paintings for the strange and eccentric painting methods.

The word "Impression" in Impressionism is named after the title of this news.

Katsuko Sakai was deeply impressed. She even took a photo with this slogan.

However,

Now the tourist check-in card has been replaced, and it has been replaced by a brand-new nameplate in the photo.

"We don't portray gods, we only record sunshine and air. We don't follow dogma, because beautiful things will stay, and pain will eventually pass away. Detective Cat"

" Director Tonks was not just joking, he really changed the check-in nameplate of Taylor Art Museum."

Katsuko Sakai looked at the photo below with longing in her eyes.

"Detective Cat Lady is in a sense collected by the Taylor Art Museum, which is one of the largest private art museums in the world."

As a One of the highest pursuits of a famous painter is to have his name enter an art museum and be treasured by people.

This means that you have successfully defeated death and time and left your name in the history of art.

The initials of a few letters in the art museum are the highest honor for a painter in his life.

Even in this form, being able to leave your mark before millions of tourists is something to be proud of.

Many of the more than 100,000 Twitter followers of Director Tonks have retweeted the news, including even famous professional painters.

Katsuko Sakai clicked on a few tweets and looked at them before preparing to exit.

Wait,

Her hand suddenly paused for a moment, her eyes fixed on a certain retweeted message, and she stopped moving.

“Congratulations to Ms. Detective Cat for leaving her name on the Taylor National Gallery of Art. Well deserved,He is indeed a very capable illustrator. Are you interested in cooperating with us? There is a very interesting project in the group. The art department has contacted your email. Please check it. "Detective Cat" schostic Publishing Group.

"Schosticschostic Group actually interacted with Detective Cat"

Sakai Katsuko was very surprised.

"What is schostic?" Nothing to be surprised about. "

Gu Weijing looked at this tweet.

"Schostic is the second largest publishing group in North America and the sixth largest in the world. It is almost the only one in the field of children's literature. Big Mac. ”

Sakai Katsuko exhaled slowly.

She clicked on the account of schostic Publishing Group, took a look at the homepage introduction, and confirmed that this was the official recommendation of schostic and not the official website of schostic. What a prank by a fake account.

“Such a publishing group should cooperate with countless illustrators every year. ”

Gu Weijing was not too excited.

Mr. Hyperion’s video had just been released, especially since he had just been selected as a two-and-a-half-star illustrator by Oil Painting Magazine, and the traffic The biggest time.

In addition to movie posters, there were also cooperation invitations from several publishing houses.

But at that time, he felt that he could not complete these orders. ability, all declined.

After he was removed from the oil painting, these orders basically disappeared.

"You haven't understood yet, this is not a concept at all. ”

Sakai Katsuko shook her head and explained, “Because Schostic is the leader in the publishing industry, it rarely cooperates with outside illustrators. Its art department has an art team of nearly a thousand professional painters, which is dozens to a hundred times larger than a typical large-scale illustration studio. ”

“Generally, only for a very small number of top-level projects, they will cooperate with external illustrators. Being invited to such a project is almost equivalent to recognizing you as a first-class illustrator in the eyes of Schostic. This is a golden opportunity that any illustrator dreams of getting. "

"So awesome"

Gu Weijing was also a little surprised.

"Yes, look at the artist records that can interact with the official Twitter of the Schostic Group , you will understand. "

Sakai Katsuko pulled schostic's Twitter record to the historical message column, entered the word illustrator, and showed it to Gu Weijing.

"Two more words The messages were a tribute to a co-artist published in February on the anniversary of Andy Warhol's death, and the tenth anniversary of the Miracle of Oz series of illustrations drawn by Jane Arnold for Schostic. The official accounts of such large publishing groups are quite aloof, and it is not easy for even ordinary first-line artists to interact with them using their official accounts. ”

Sakai Katsuko was confused.

Facing this kind of invitation, if the detective cat can behave well.

In a sense, this is a better opportunity for an illustrator to become famous than being selected as a two-and-a-half-star painter by an oil painting magazine.

It’s just that

This program is indeed very exciting, but it has attracted the attention of a giant like schostic just half a day after it was launched, which is a bit too exaggerated.
