"It's done."
Gu Weijing looked at the display on the virtual panel and became excited.
System data is just an auxiliary scoring tool.
Gu Weijing has already made a general judgment on the quality of specific paintings during the creation process.
The painting process is so smooth, and the completeness of the whole painting cannot be lowered.
If this kind of painting is used to participate in the graduation exhibition of an ordinary art academy, it can be properly arranged to debut in the C position.
Even if I take this painting in front of me to participate in the Biennale now.
If you haven’t met a particularly picky judge, you wouldn’t think there is anything different about this fusion painting style.
Even at a lower level.
He can't even see the problem.
It’s just that the system belongs to the kind of particularly strict and critical judges.
When Gu Weijing just looked at it, he thought that the dividing lines between different techniques had completely disappeared.
Discovered after careful inspection.
There is still a little shadow left on the virtual panel.
The dividing line between sketching techniques and oil painting techniques is only a faint mark, similar to a small mark scratched by a fingernail on the plastic shell.
It seems like it will disappear if you apply it lightly.
The imprints between oil painting techniques and Chinese painting techniques are correspondingly deeper, and it just feels like sewing threads of the same color have been sewn on pieces of cloth.
"Recently I should focus more on the practice of Chinese painting. I will ask Professor Lin Tao for more advice on the rendering method of fine brushwork. My style of Chinese painting and the matching of sketch and oil painting are still weak. ”
“The final payment for Little Prince in the publishing contract, together with the share of the Easter sales week, will be settled in mid-to-late April. If the progress is fast, I should be able to make it in time. Before that, I will upgrade my Chinese painting skills to the second level of my profession and make up for the last shortcoming."
Gu Weijing was thinking about his plans for the past few days.
"If everything goes well, you can submit your manuscript to the organizing committee of the Singapore Biennale before May. The deadline for submission will not be missed."
"Just do I want to add another painting?"
He touched his chin and thought in his mind.
I can confirm that my most important painting in the exhibition is definitely the Good Luck Orphanage in the Sun.
In some large international biennales such as Singapore, Shanghai, and Yokohama, each painter in the master group can submit two to five works.
There is no limit on the number of painters invited through special invitation channels. There can be very many painters within a reasonable range.
Gu Weijing originally planned to submit only one painting.
The progress of practicing fusion painting is faster than he thought. He hesitates that maybe he can draw another work with another theme by then.
Anyway, if you pass the audition, it would be a waste to leave the booth assigned to you empty.
Would you like to add a sketch of the same style to match the theme of the Lucky Orphanage?
Or draw an orthodox impressionist work and submit it to the organizing committee Show off the versatility of your style
Of course.
The work that he really wants to win the prize for is definitely this picture of the Lucky Orphanage under the sun.
Art exhibitions are more expensive than finesse.
You may not win a prize by submitting only one piece of work.
If you exhibit a large number of works at the same time, the organizing committee may not feel that you are working too hard and will sympathize with you and award you a water prize.
The larger the biennale, the more so.
Look at quality, not quantity.
When Damien Hirst participated in the Venice Biennale, he brought up to 189 works of art. He had a theme pavilion for each country, and he had a theme pavilion for himself.
As a result, I still didn’t win the award.
This is very embarrassing.
The sun was setting,
A woman wearing dark formal clothes and sunglasses was sitting on a chair against the wall in the yard.
A dark gun handle was exposed from the hem of his suit jacket, which attracted many volunteers and children in the yard to look sideways.
There were two brave little kids who ran over and wanted to touch the handle of the gun. Before the woman who exuded a solemn temperament could speak, they were embarrassedly dragged away by the headmistress of the orphanage. Gone.
Gu Weijing walked out of the orphanage and saw Sakai Katsuko waving to the woman.
The woman took out two takeout boxes from the trunk of the Lexus on one side.
The two heavy dark metal thermal buckets were like two light plastic dumbbells in the hands of this powerful lady, which was very easy to carry.
Mrs. Sakai knew that her daughter had to run to the orphanage every day.
She is a good mother, now that she has made everything clear to her daughter.
At this time, when she was tired of being with her boyfriend every day, she would act like a light bulb and annoy her daughter for no reason.
Layyada District, where the orphanage is located, is a relatively poor lower city district in Yangon.
Because residents generally believe in relatively peaceful Buddhism, the incidence of vicious incidents is actually not high.
At least from a statistical point of view, it is far less exaggerated than the black neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Tijuana, Mexico, which are famous places on the United Nations list where gunfights happen every day.
But this was Myanmar after all, so Mrs. Sakai was still worried about her precious and beautiful daughter running around, so she hired a private security guard for Katsuko Sakai.
Myanmar’s private security business, like its business escort business, is very mature.
In the past, before the warlords declared a ceasefire, it was easy to recruit mercenaries.
Nowadays, it is enough to hire a full-time bodyguard from a reliable company with sufficient credibility, which costs about four to five thousand dollars a month.
Female bodyguards cost two thousand dollars, and those who can speak Japanese cost another two thousand dollars.
A monthly salary of nine thousand US dollars is a high salary anywhere, but it is nothing compared to the safety of his daughter Katsuko Sakai.
Uncle Sakai earned it by just nibbling on two donuts, which was not as expensive as the hotel suite they stayed in.
Sakai Katsuko now travels with security personnel every day.
I don’t go to the studio every day, I just wait down there.
Sometimes in the car, sometimes in the yard, unless Shengzi gives orders, she doesn’t say anything, and is as silent as a female robot in the Terminator.
The bodyguard recommended renting this Lexus.
In the past, I used to take the Aman concierge’s Mercedes-Benz every day when traveling. It was convenient, but it was too eye-catching and could easily be targeted by kidnappers with evil intentions.
Switching to a light blue Lexus is much less eye-catching.
At this time, Katsuko Sakai had also finished painting, had headphones on her ears, and was watching a video played on her mobile phone.
Awang finally escaped the little girl’s clutches that lasted for half a day.
For the cats, playing with girls in primary school is a job that is countless times more energy-consuming than catching mice or shooting dragonflies.
It was so tired that it was lying at the feet of Sakai Katsuko, snoring happily.
"I was just thinking about whether to go up and call you. Mom ordered a meal and brought it over. Let's eat together and then go home."
Shengzi met Gu Weijing When he came out, he immediately turned around and said hello.
Gu Weijing smelled the rich smell of food.
The aroma of caramelized fat and butter stimulated by the heat still spread through the thermos.
He sniffed casually, and his stomach rumbled twice.
Gu Weijing couldn't help but ask, "What is so fragrant?"
"Beef braised in Burgundy red wine and baked French pancakes with cheese. I see you only ate two sushi at noon. How about some at night?" The dish mom ordered was a little tough."
Katsuko Sakai flipped through the menu order sent by the takeout restaurant on her phone and said casually.
A delicate lady like Mrs. Sakai never tires of fine food. She grew up as a girl from a wealthy family and was very particular about ordering takeout.
For an artist's family whose income reaches nearly 10 million US dollars per year, those who are willing to eat at street restaurants like Uncle Sakai are the outliers.
It’s meal time now, but it’s a bit uncomfortable to eat such high-end food in the courtyard of the orphanage.
So the female bodyguard brought the fragrant food box to Uncle Alai's concierge hut and borrowed the table there.
“Let’s go to the house to eat, call Jasmine, close the door, and eat together under the sunset.”
Sakai Katsuko is not so unworldly as to treat all the children and volunteers in the orphanage to a big meal.
She is caring, but she also knows that she cannot help everyone.
Shengzi just took Jasmine with her to reward her for being her model for so long, and walked into the concierge's cabin with Gu Weijing.
The soup of mussels is added with star anise to enhance the flavor, and the sauce of beef stew is mixed with melted fat to form a paste.
As the lid of the food box was opened, the aroma became even more fragrant and filled the room.
The female bodyguard quickly lit the plastic candlesticks and small candles included in the takeout box of the French restaurant.
She carried the two 7 Wagyu burgers specially bought for her in another bag as a work meal, and walked out quietly, leaving the quiet dining environment to her employer.
After the bodyguard lady went out with two burgers, she was not in a hurry to eat.
Walking around the yard, the woman finally found her target among the people queuing up after dinner at the orphanage not far away.
"Sir"
The bodyguard was full of vigilance and patted the shoulder of a tall, lame man in a dark leather suit.
Working habits.
It is rare to find a job like this where you can earn a high salary by accompanying a wealthy daughter around every day.
Some time ago, when a man from a private armed contractor was rescuing hostages in a fraud park in northern Myanmar, he was shot with an AK and almost paralyzed.
Not counting combat allowance, that guy's monthly salary is less than $5,000.
With so many retired soldiers every year, mercenaries, bodyguards, and military kings with an annual salary of millions are all liars.
Myanmar is not Afghanistan. People like them just earn more than ordinary people.
Especially when this wealthy daughter doesn’t run around every day, doesn’t go to bars or go shopping, and just stays in an orphanage with ease and peace of mind.
Faced with such high-quality employers who are hard to find at any time, female bodyguards are still willing to work more carefully.
Bodyguard is a defensive profession.
When she enters work, she likes to mark targets in her surroundings that may pose potential dangers to her employer.
To be honest,
the orphanage is composed of a group of children and elderly volunteers.
It is difficult to find a more peaceful scene in the world than here.
In terms of the degree of danger, in her mind, the most dangerous thing around Ms. Sakai is actually Jasmine, who has an HIV mark on her body.
But Sakai Katsuko herself didn’t say anything, so it was not the case that the bodyguards would cause trouble.
Others don’t know why, but she can always smell a very dangerous smell in this lame man.
"Let's chat"
The female bodyguard took out a hamburger from the bag and handed it over.
During company training, a more common way to establish a relationship with the target is to pass a cigarette.
The employer of her assignment was a minor, so the female bodyguard did not bring a cigarette with her when she was working because she was afraid that the residual smoke would reach other people's homes.
So when she ordered a meal today, she specifically asked for an extra work meal.
A fragrant Wagyu burger priced at 50,000 kyats can also be used as a substitute for cigarettes to bring people closer together at this time.
"What are you asking for?"
The lame man reached out and took the burger.
When the female bodyguard handed the burger, she lightly scratched the inner edge of the other person’s finger with her fingernail. This was not flirting. She felt a hard callus on the inner fingertips of the opponent, a callus left by the friction between the gun trigger and the fingertips.
The woman's pupils shrank.
He is indeed a dangerous person.
Uncle Alai looked at the bodyguards tossing in front of him expressionlessly, but his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"There is something wrong with the engine of my car. Can you help me?" the female bodyguard adjusted her expression and asked with a professional smile.
"Okay, little girl, if you want to know if I have received military training, just tell me."
Uncle Alai stretched out his palm and opened the mark on his palm. Fang Fang showed it to her.
Since I became Gu Weijing’s assistant, it’s like turning a new page in my life.
Uncle Alai seemed to be becoming more and more accepting of his past. He smiled calmly, "You are right, this is not the trace left by the auto mechanic's hexagonal screwdriver. I am a gun grinder. I was once a soldier."
"There are many ways for veterans to make money. May I ask why you are here to guard the door?" The female bodyguard still had a professional look on her face. Smiling, his whole hand was unconsciously resting on the handle of the gun.
The internal thug informant of the kidnapping group
The bodyguard cautiously speculated on what this guy who was incompatible with the surrounding environment was doing.
"Then why are you here?"
Uncle Alai looked up and down at the fit woman opposite.
“I have always believed that security guards in suits belong to those who have watched too many Hollywood movies. If it is not a business and government occasion that requires a strong presence, writing that I am a bodyguard on my face will not only reduce the concealment , It will also affect the employer’s daily life invisibly.”
“If clothing can be regarded as a company regulation, then in Myanmar’s environment, it is either a demonstration of force or a simple one. Not having a gun reduces your aggression in the eyes of outsiders. This is a smarter decision than walking around with a Taser on your waist."
"Have you read the paper?" Uncle Alai said in a kind tone as if he was teaching a child.
"What"
"A paper on gun deterrence and criminal psychology, well, it seems that not only did you not acceptYou have received training in this area, and your instructor has never mentioned it to you. Alas, young people today."
Uncle Alai looked helplessly at the plastic gun handle that the female bodyguard was holding tightly in her hand. Shaking his head.
“For a desperado who really wants to do something, they don’t care at all about a stun gun, but they think you don’t have the courage to use lethal force. It's too much to scare ordinary people. And some studies have shown that in the case of close range shooting, no matter where the Taser electrode is fired, the risk of sudden cardiac arrest caused by the current is actually very large and uncontrollable, and the gain is completely outweighed by the loss. The optimal equipment choice for this kind of mission is to use a real gun. The first three rounds of the magazine are loaded with rubber explosion-proof bullets, and the rear is packed with solid bullets. "
"Of course, it is also possible that the defense company behind you does not have the ability to obtain permission to use special bullets. "
Uncle Alai looked at the bodyguard who was about to explode with cold hair on his face, and waved his hand casually, "cadon, stay calm, don't be nervous, I didn't want to do anything. I just feel that the juniors working in the security industry now seem a bit too amateurish, so I couldn’t help but say a few more words. ”
“It is good to be vigilant at all times. Just little girl, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. In the future, you should observe more before working. ”
“Even if I am really a bad person, and you are really telling me something like this, you have to make sure that you can beat me before I talk about it. This is the simplest truth, right? ”
“It’s not that fun to scare a snake out of a grass and spook a tiger. ”
Uncle Alai threw the hamburger into the bag in the hand of the female bodyguard, ignored the other party who was almost stunned by hearing it, and left with a smile.
The candles were beating, the concierge The air of the hut was filled with the aroma of melted butter.
You get what you pay for.
Gu Weijing gently tore off a corner of the pancake that smelled of ham and cheese. After stuffing it into his mouth, he couldn't stop eating it.
"Katsuko"
He noticed that Sakai Katsuko across the table was eating. He kept looking down at his phone and frowning from time to time.
Gu Weijing asked curiously, "What Japanese drama are you watching?" ”
“Resolution of the shareholders’ meeting of Oil Painting Magazine. Have you paid attention to the recent personnel changes in this long-established art evaluation magazine?"
Sakai Katsuko lowered her voice and said mysteriously.
"Our subscription mailbox seems to be I received a letter announcing the restructuring of some magazine. However, I didn’t look closely. "
Gu Weijing replied inexplicably in seconds, "What happened to the oil painting magazine?"
Myanmar is too remote.
Any turmoil in the art market , there was only a slight ripple left here.
“Yes, this is the restructuring. You can pay attention, my dad said, this should be the most important moment in the history of art in the past half century since Picasso's death. Even if Gagosian Gallery announced its dissolution tomorrow, it would not be more serious than this incident.Attention-grabbing. "
Sakai Katsuko shrugged, "It is said that they are about to set up their own art fund, and they should be able to make money by buying it. Many people around my parents are trying to get a ticket to board the ship. "
"Ship Ticket"
Sakai Katsuko thought for a while, "It is expected that the product scale of the Oil Painting Fund will exceed US$500 million, and the starting threshold for personal investment is US$6 million. Background checks on interested investors are also very strict. ”
There are very few public funds for ordinary people in the field of art.
More than 90 financial products are all private funds specifically for the upper class.
Private equity is a game for the rich.
For ordinary people to participate in any well-known private equity fund, the starting capital threshold for investing in a single fund fluctuates around US$200,000 in the industry.
The threshold of US$6 million is quite exaggerated in the private equity field.
Gu Weijing did not react much to this outrageous figure.
He was. A typical child from a poor family who has not yet successfully made a class jump.
No channels and no capital.
Even if Sakai Katsuko now tells him the inside story about the oil painting fund. News.
Gu Weijing couldn’t raise 6 million US dollars, so he just wanted to listen to the story.
“There are still funds in the world that are guaranteed to make money. Buffett can't be a manager. "
Gu Weijing was confused.
"The sign of oil painting is better than Buffett's credibility. If you take the goose that lays golden eggs at home and put it on the market, you can make a lot of money, but you just don't know how long it will last. ”
Sakai Katsuko shook his head.
We are not fools, and discerning people also know the long-term impact of this incident on the future of the magazine.
But making money , not shabby.
There are many people who are willing to take a gamble even though they know it is a Ponzi scheme or a pyramid scheme. The risk will only come in ten or twenty years.
Anyway, it will definitely make money in the short term, and everyone is gradually becoming crazy.
"But this time the detective cat who just became popular is going to be a disaster." Sakai Katsuko sighed. , "Well, actually, this sister is really good at painting and has a high level of artistic accomplishment. It's such a pity. "
"What the detective cat, that Internet painter"
Gu Weijing's heart "thumped" for a moment.
The oil painting magazine is like a tower hanging high in the sky. A cloud, thunder, rain and dew are not something that a small person like him can care about.
This big business of several hundred million dollars has nothing to do with him.
"Don't you know? Wait, I'll send you the video link and we can watch it together. ”
Sakai Katsuko thought about it and suggested, “Well, let’s check it directly on the YouTube. Someone has already uploaded the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.”Yes, I will share the video with you. ”
Gu Weijing turned on his phone and saw the YouTube link sent by Shengzi.
He clicked in.
Before entering the serious content, first It comes from an advertisement placed by Google.
It’s a coincidence.
Gu Weijing did not have a YouTube membership of 30,000 kyats per month, so he played an advertisement every time. Videos require mandatory viewing of an advertisement.
