"No, of course not. Thank you, it's a precious opportunity, I'm very grateful."
Mona hesitated for a moment.
She smiled very politely, neither kissing nor hugging, but shaking hands with the blond boy in a measured manner.
It is difficult for her to express blame on such occasions.
Mona doesn’t care so much if she is just the heroine of an ordinary micro-movie. But she couldn't refuse an award-winning short film that was praised by official newspapers.
Being selected into Mrs. Sakai’s advanced class does not mean that applying to college will be smooth sailing.
In other words,
Mona’s original goal was to be ranked at the bottom of the top 150 art and design universities in the world like the University of Rotterdam, or a "second-rate" ranking like 150200. famous school".
If this is still the plan, she feels that the requirements are a bit too low.
A better university means a better circle, better connections, and better development opportunities.
In the field of art, of course there are geniuses who attract everyone’s attention upon their debut and shock the world when they emerge from a remote village, but they are only a handful.
The reason why those real geniuses who make a splash at the Biennale can often make super galleries with annual sales of billions of dollars, such as Gagosian, Lisson, and Ace, all wave astronomical figures. Money chases signings simply because situations like this are so rare.
Talent that can influence the world is destined to have nothing to do with 99,999 people.
Many times, two ordinary art students with similar levels compete for opportunities. Whoever can be closer to the world art center, whose school is better, can enter a higher-end studio for internship
p>
Anyway, everyone’s paintings are the same, neither good nor bad.
Without amazing talent,
Whoever has a better circle and more opportunities will be more likely to succeed in life.
With such a good result, Mona also has greater ambitions.
The higher the university, the more stringent the application requirements are. Everyone compares portfolios, grade points, and social service hours. Excellent students from all over the world are competing with you.
She really needs this social welfare resume.
But he didn’t want Jerry to misunderstand.
"Well, after school, I'll treat you to dinner to express my gratitude." She nodded to Jerry and said with a smile, "It's up to you to choose the restaurant, Mr. Jerry Lorenz, please try your best to choose the restaurant." A more expensive dish, otherwise I would be really embarrassed to accept such a precious gift."
Jerry was slightly disappointed.
Mona’s answer was too distant, not as intimate as he imagined.
Although adding a name to the staff list is a free gift for Jerry.
But the response of the female student union president was too appropriate.
Be polite and show offGotta stay away.
He could hear the other party's indifference from Mona's body language and special emphasis on the restaurant's prices, and he felt a little frustrated.
"Forget it, being able to have a meal together is a good progress after all."
Jerry smiled in his heart.
For a school team star like him, he had many good-looking girlfriends when he was a student. He no longer had any interest in girls who could sleep with her just by giving her a bag or lipstick.
Difficult girls make men feel conquered.
He gently pulled Mona, and the two of them bowed to the applauding audience like the leading actors and actresses at the end of a stage play.
The students were a little disappointed not to see the passionate kiss scene, but this scene still made everyone applaud enthusiastically.
The whole place was filled with applause and laughter.
The atmosphere was good as everyone felt that the talented and beautiful couple on the stage seemed to be born to be together.
Pretty girls are a scarce resource in the school, and everyone subconsciously thinks that they should belong to boys as beautiful as Jerry. < /p>
A teasing voice came from my ears.
Gu Weijing turned his head and saw a pair of very charming and bright eyes looking down at him.
"Coco"
The lights in the auditorium were as dim as a movie theater, and Gu Weijing didn't notice when Coco slipped over.
She was lying lightly on the back of the empty seat in front of her, her hands crossed on the back of the chair, and she was staring at the screen of the IAD in Gu Weijing's hand.
The screen was not turned off, and the swimsuit photo of Katsuko Sakai on S was still displayed.
"Oh, I was thinking about the artwork," Gu Weijing explained awkwardly.
"Tch, the artwork you are talking about is a photo of a girl in a swimsuit." Kou Kou rolled her eyes and expressed disdain for Gu Weijing's sanctimonious remarks.
She said so, but her expression was still very gentle.
Koko stretched out a hand to rub the boy's hair, as if she wanted to comfort a little pet that had its favorite ball of yarn taken away.
"Forget it, just watch it. Miss Shengzi is indeed a very cute, soft and cute girl. Not only little boys like you with restless hormones and difficulty in resolving love will like her. I am the mother-in-law. I feel very excited after seeing it.”
Koko smiled and waved her little fist.
She tilted her head and looked at the tablet screen, and said in a tone like an old man watching the Victoria's Secret supermodel catwalk on TV, "Unfortunately, the style of swimsuits is too conservative. This plump type Girls, with such good curves, they have to wear bikinis and show them boldly to be dazzling."
Similarly with a plump figure,Curvy girls make such comments.
It doesn’t look greasy, but rather cute.
Kou Kou raised her upper body, looked left and right, and found that the attention of her classmates and teachers were all on the stage, and no one was paying attention here.
She was too lazy to say anything.
With one hand supporting the large velvet backrest of the auditorium seat, and the other hand holding the hem of the school uniform skirt to prevent it from being exposed, Kou Kou's whole figure was like a flexible big cat, and she walked directly from the front row. The seat flipped over.
This scene definitely does not comply with the Dulwich College student code of conduct and ethics.
If Mona saw such an unladylike scene, she would definitely order the student council to deduct Kou Kou’s conduct points.
Gu Weijing only felt a fragrant breeze lingering on his face.
Koko's body was extremely light. She turned over the seat, and the corner of her skirt gently hit his shoulder. The skin of her thighs under the flying petticoat was looming, like the snow that had just solidified in winter.
"That's cool"
He cheered quietly.
"Hmph, huh, that's awesome. Turning the seat is nothing. The dance teacher who taught me was a Russian aunt. When she danced the Nutcracker in St. Petersburg, the last scene had to rotate 1080 degrees, and the whole scene was rotated 1080 degrees. Relying on the power of the thumb on your right foot is awesome."
Kou Kou sat next to Gu Weijing and hummed.
Unlike the understatement in her words, the girl's pretty eyebrows showed that she was quite proud of her heroic appearance just now.
"Actually, I just watched that short film, and I didn't think it was anything special."
Kou Kou thought for a while, then muttered in a low voice, "The film festival for college students is all about It’s a fool. In this kind of local government cultural festival, my dad said that basically the best newcomer award, the best student actor and actress, the best love award, these small awards for cats and dogs are all related to entertainment companies. , negotiated with the public relations company.”
“It’s easy to pay for a few thousand dollars. The more than thirty thousand dollars you donated to the orphanage is enough to cover all these trash awards. "
Koko raised her eyebrows and said softly, "As for the Yangon Economic Weekly, it is indeed a bit difficult, but it only takes a little effort. It mainly depends on connections."
" When I randomly participated in a fencing competition, there was a similar newspaper that wanted to please my dad and wanted to write a small column for me. My dad thought it was inappropriate and refused."
Gu Wei He said softly "Oh".
He is not actually jealous of Jerry.
Their micro-movies are indeed well shot, with eye-catching material selection, editing and soundtrack are also very professional, and connections are also part of the ability.
Jerry has nothing to be bitter about if he can win an award.
Mona and Jerry Lang are in love, and he has no control over it. His childhood sweetheart has made it clear many times that it has nothing to do with him.
If you continue to struggle, insteadNot interesting.
Kou Kou was a little unhappy when she saw that Gu Weijing still looked calm.
Kou Kou thought that the other person must be feeling sad when he saw his "ex-girlfriend" chatting with other boys on stage, so she kindly ran over to comfort him.
As a result, after thinking about her words for a long time, she only got an "Oh" reply that couldn't be beaten with three sticks.
This made Kou Kou feel like she was doing stand-up comedy in front of a sculpture, without any sense of accomplishment.
"Thank you, Kou Kou."
Gu Weijing turned his head, looked into Kou Kou's big eyes, smiled and said seriously, "Although I don't actually need comfort. , but thank you very much."
"I'm very touched."
"I know, I didn't come here to comfort you. I just stayed in my seat. It’s quite boring, I might as well find someone to chat with.”
Looking at the other party’s solemn eyes, Kou Kou was stunned for a moment, then turned her head slightly and explained in a low voice, but the corner of her mouth was still uncontrollable. Curve upward.
The two of them sat side by side in silence for a short while in the deserted corner of the last row of the auditorium.
After Jerry walked off the stage, the old principal did not sit back in his seat. At this time, he was still talking at length about the construction of campus culture.
Kou Kou didn’t want to listen.
She felt a little bored sitting in such silence, lowered her head, played with a strand of hair sticking up by her ears with her fingers, and occasionally hummed a few unpopular English tunes.
"Hey"
The girl seemed to have suddenly seen something interesting.
She suddenly grabbed Gu Weijing's sleeve, looked at the jade bracelet exposed under the sleeve, and blinked in surprise.
"Is this shape the consecration bracelet enshrined in the Shwedagon Pagoda?"
Kou Kou shook Gu Weijing's wrist, as if he had discovered some new continent, and said strangely "This kind of bracelet is very difficult to get, but you actually have one."
She carefully used her fingertips to fiddle with the ice jade inlaid on the bracelet on Gu Weijing's wrist, and looked at it. On it, the jade worker used a very fine carving knife to carve the word "GU".
"Your last name is engraved on it. Shwedagon Pagoda doesn't have many bracelets like this in a year." Kou Kou smacked her lips, "I don't even want them. ”
“Very rare and precious”
Gu Weijing turned the bracelet on his wrist. He had not taken it off since Katsuko Sakai tied it on for him. Come down.
Remember, all the artists participating in the Shwedagon Pagoda restoration project should have such a bracelet.
"This is the bracelet you bought. Ask me if it's precious or not." Kou Kou glanced sideways at Gu Weijing.
“It’s not bought, it’s given as a gift.”
“That’s a very thoughtful gift.”
The Myanmar government gives it to famous artists It really should be counted as a national gift.A thoughtful gift.
"So precious"
"It may not be expensive, but it must be very rare."
Kou Kou bit her lower lip and said softly, "Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not regard high or low as high or low." To distinguish between living beings, the materials of these bracelets and beads are often good or bad. Your bracelet is made of very good material, but similar bracelets made of rosewood or cheap agate stone may only cost a few hundred kyats. , even the porters carrying the sliding poles on the Yangon River can afford it."
"In this case, why not just offer thousands or tens of thousands of strings and let everyone buy them as they like"
Gu Weijing was surprised that although he grew up in Yangon, a place with a strong Buddhist atmosphere, he was not a believer, so he did not understand such details.
"Bah, just buy whatever you want. You think this is a steamed bun in the cafeteria. This kind of thing requires sincerity. It is for the people you care about, and you wish you peace and success. How can it be counted if you sell it casually? Sincerely, Monk Tang still had to go through eighty-one hardships when he went to the West to obtain scriptures. Why didn’t the Buddha just give him the scriptures?”
The most famous of the four famous works in Myanmar is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The drug lord Kun Sa never leaves his side, followed by Journey to the West, which almost everyone has read.
Kou Kou seems to be very interested in this bracelet and is very dissatisfied with Gu Weijing's statement that he doesn't take it seriously.
She stared at the small bracelet in Gu Weijing's hand and said softly, "There are only about fifty niches for such consecrated bracelets and beads in the Shwedagon Pagoda every month, one for each niche." , it is difficult for ordinary people to get it.”
“If you want to get a consecrated bracelet, if you don’t go through government channels, then no matter how rich you are, you will go to the Shwedagon Pagoda early every weekend. If you register for watering in front of the golden shrine of the Buddha statue and rank in the top 50 for three consecutive weeks, it means that you are sincere enough to get the opportunity to own such a bracelet. If there is a break in the middle, just start from the beginning. ” p>
Burmese people not only burn incense to worship Buddha, but also offer water to the flower garden in front of the Buddha statue.
When Gu Weijing was painting the picture of worshiping the Buddha and protecting the Dharma, the reason why the adult artists were not there was because they followed Mr. Cao to water the water and worship the Buddha.
The first bowl of water poured into the Shwedagon Pagoda before it opens every day is equivalent to the first stick of incense burned in front of the Yonghe Temple in Beijing. Legend has it that it is particularly effective.
So many people came early and lined up.
Wanting to rank close to the top fifty for three consecutive weeks is indeed a physically demanding job.
"When I was a child, my mother would go and ask for a bracelet like this every year to keep me safe and healthy." Kou Kou looked at the jade bracelet on Gu Weijing's wrist with a longing expression.
"Auntie is too lazy to run for you now"
Gu Weijing raised his eyebrows.
He has met Kou Kou's mother, a very coquettish aunt, and Kou Kou looks like sisters, more like mother and daughter.
"No, my mother has passed away many years ago. The vixen you saw is my stepmother." Koko said with an indifferent expression. Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website address is free of theft protection.Free reading
