Chapter 313: Mediocre

"It makes some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have."

Gu Weijing, who was watching this video, frowned slightly.

Demonstration

He would not deliberately bury his head in the gravel to pretend to be an ostrich, if someone had not happened to get into trouble with Senior Tangning during this period.

The target of the gun and stick in people’s words is themselves.

"Maybe it's not a demonstration."

Gu Weijing smiled bitterly.

Two people of similar rank can only demonstrate if they say harsh words to each other.

Not to mention Gu Weijing, who seems to have no achievements worth mentioning.

Tang Ning has just become the most valuable female artist in Asia. Even if he is the detective cat that he is best at, the opponent can hit ten of them with one hand.

With such a gap, if someone spits in one's face, outsiders will think it is flattering oneself.

Tang Ning was just expressing her dissatisfaction with the camera.

Even this dissatisfaction is more akin to the coquettish behavior of a parent's daughter who gets angry at her elders and asks them, "Don't you love me, Master?"

Tang Ning's reluctance was directed at Mr. Cao, and Gu Weijing just mentioned it in passing.

"Alas."

Gu Weijing pursed his lips.

He understands what a big piece of pie Cao Lao’s closed disciples are and what a hot position they have.

The largest and sweetest fruit on the lush apple tree was definitely Tang Ning’s. Suddenly, a wild child appeared out of nowhere and tried to grab it.

If you think about it from someone else’s perspective, it is only natural that Tang Ning should be dissatisfied.

"Cao Lao's heir" Gu Weijing thought about the name for a few breaths in his mind. His heart beat faster, and then he immediately calmed down.

Gu Weijing is a young painter. After learning that he might have the opportunity to become a disciple of Mr. Cao, he must be lying if he did not have any thoughts about this title when he dreamed about it at midnight.

Opportunity and talent are the two pillars that support the height of the artistic path.

The concept of becoming "Cao Lao's successor and the head of the painting sect" is too big to be simply described as opportunities.

This is even an artistic version of "destiny" in a sense.

After all, she inherited the soul of an entire long-standing art empire.

This is not an exaggeration by Gu Weijing.

Larry Gagosian and Sir Brown, one of the richest gallerists in the world, and the most prestigious art critic in the world.

Many years ago, the New York Times named one of them the art czar and the other the art pope.

When Mr. Cao attends seminars and international academic conferences, he can even be ranked ahead of the two czars and popes.

In recent years, the Asian market has been the focus of major galleries.The point is, Gagosian dreamed of signing Mr. Cao to his name.

Gossip tabloids rumored that Gagosian had been in contact with Mr. Cao after Hearst left in 2008. The amount of the intended contract, which had not been leaked, was said to be "enough to buy the Empire State Building."

No matter whose head Mr. Cao Xuan finally placed this crown on in public.

That person has struggled for thirty years less

Stop being ridiculous.

Most of the tens of millions of art practitioners in the world, even if they were given time to sell from the Neolithic Age to the present, cannot compete with the benefits brought by this frivolous name.

Just imagining that scene made Gu Weijing feel itchy in his heart.

But he is also a rational person.

Gu Weijing knew very clearly that he should not think about this at all until he has grown to a certain point.

Too far away.

Successing an art empire requires strength.

A powerful prince ascends the throne and is called an emperor. A person without strength is just a puppet even if a pie is thrown on his head.

The current self is not worthy to be compared with Ms. Tangning.

Even if Mr. Cao Xuan announces to the global media tomorrow that a man named Gu Weijing will take his place.

You will also become the laughing stock of the whole world.

Thinking about how to draw wisteria flowers well and win an award at the Singapore Biennale is much more realistic than empty daydreams.

Gu Weijing picked up the coffee that came with the train from the paper cup on the table and poured a few sips into his mouth. The bitter coffee cooled the restless blood in his chest.

He slowly became calmer.

The video on the phone continues to play.

This trailer is divided into three parts, selecting the three most topical clips from the interview with Tang Ning.

What Gu Weijing just saw was the part called Tang Ning, the next generation Asian art queen.

What followed was a five- to six-minute special conversation called Downing’s Tomorrow Site where the reporter asked female artists whether they had ambitions to conquer the Venice Art Exhibition.

Gu Weijing originally thought that Professor Lin Tao asked him to watch only the first part of the interview.

I didn’t expect that.

At the end of the video, the female artist mentioned herself again. The third part of the video is called Tang Ning’s words to young artists

“I think it’s time for you to talk about the development of young artists as a senior.”

The reporter took the last interview card.

“Twenty years ago, when you won the gold medal at the Shanghai Art Biennale for the first time with a work titled Hundred Flowers, critics compared you with a female painter from Chicago. ouistroy are two artistic sisters. You were very similar back then. You were both twenty years old and both were disciples of famous families.”

"You are a disciple of a master of Asian Chinese painting, and Troy is a student of a famous figure in the North American Pop Art movement. You are even famous for painting flowers. You are good at integrating national flowers and hundreds of flowers into one, while she uses hundreds of colors. Color dots create an ever-changing pop flower rose that won the grand prize at the Chicago Biennial. By the way, do you still have an impression of ouistroy?"

"Troy, of course, we have never met. But for a few years, people kept mentioning this name in front of me, and it was hard not to be impressed."

Tang Ning touched her hair and said, "Sorry, I heard about her."

"Yes, her artistic path was not smooth. Hundred Flowers is just the beginning of your art career. Winning the Chicago Biennial is the highest art peak that Troy has reached in his life."

" This statement may be a bit cruel to Troy, but objectively speaking, looking back, the careers of your two sisters are not two mirror images imagined by the media. You only had one when you were 20 years old. They met for a brief moment, then passed by each other, and then gradually drifted away."

The reporter raised his head, stared into Tangning's eyes, and said word by word, "According to the Chicago police report, ouistroy. Earlier last year, he was sentenced to 121 years in prison without parole for illegal possession of weapons and illegal drugs, as well as first-degree murder charges related to a shooting."

"Yes. , I saw the news report at that time, it was really terrible."

I don't know whether it was because she was really heartbroken or just showing off in front of the camera. Tangning covered her mouth and sniffed slightly, "I'm sorry. I feel sorry for her fall."

"Crime, drug addiction, money laundering, and even shooting. I hate to say this, but in fact, in our art circle, this is not a rare example, isn't it Lian Daming. Amherst has been to jail," the reporter said sharply.

"They are both famous for painting flowers, and they were once so similar. 20 years later, your traditional Chinese flower paintings are hard to find. I heard that even Li Chaoren, who has always been cautious about investing in art, Many times in the interview room, I was photographed hanging the Chinese flowers painted by you in the study room."

"Troy, on the other hand, brought a bloody death to his career with a shooting case. Flower. Miss Tangning, what do you think makes such a difference? What do you have to say as an artistic senior to the young art practitioners who subscribe to our magazine?" he asked.

“First of all, from a public perspective, I feel sad and incomprehensible about what happened to Ouistroy. However, I must clarify that from the beginning to the end, there is no similarity in the works of the two of us. Sex. The difference between us was huge from the beginning."

Tang Ning crossed her hands and put them on her raised knees.

"How to say"

"My hundreds of flowers pictures are emotional. Each flower has a precious style and soul contained in it.middle. And her rose, sorry, uses thousands of color dots to form the rose leaves. This technique may be dazzling, but the flowers and leaves themselves are hollow and do not have enough emotional support. A flower with spirit and a flower without spirit. Flowers, those who truly understand art will know the difference between them. ”

“Anyone who is persistent and patient can develop very sophisticated and complex screen designs. ”

“To capture the beauty of the thousandth moment when a flower painting blooms and give it a unique temperament, well, European friends prefer to call it the language of flowers. What is needed is to pick one out of ten thousand. of aura. This is the difference between me and ouistroy, and also the difference between many ordinary mediocre people.

Tang Ning nodded her chin proudly, "I'm not here to add insult to injury after Ouistroy went to jail. Even if her works are sold at the same price as mine today, I will point out the flaws." the difference. Mediocre, many people will find this sentence harsh. But my personality is that of a very frank and Keerea person. ”

“Sometimes my senior brother tells the children in the studio, work hard, as long as you study hard, you will reap rewards, and one day in the future, he will also become a very successful painter. I would never say that. Since the concept of fine art was born in this world, there have been no more than 300 painters who can sell a single work for more than 1 million US dollars. The fact is that you can become an outstanding painter just by working hard. ”

“The fact is that the vast majority of people are destined to be mediocre. They don’t just have to work hard to become me. No, no, no, don't have such vain thoughts. They are destined to never become E in their lifetime. ”

“It is a very hypocritical thing to give children random smiles. On the contrary, it will give them some unrealistic ambitions. "

"When they realize their position, they will collapse, maybe shoot someone else, maybe shoot themselves in the head. "Tang Ning said meaningfully. "You also know this truth, don't you? It's just that few people say it so frankly. "

The reporter shrugged noncommittally.

This is a cold statement like a tyrant.

If the teacher in the school said such a Social Darwinian style, tomorrow Parents come to complain to death, but cynicism is the prerogative of an artist.

This is his style, or his personality.

No one can say that. It’s wrong.

“Of course, it’s not her fault, or even the fault of the public media, for comparing me to Ouistroy. Many times, it is never easy to distinguish between painters who seem to be good and painters who are really good. ”

“The more young painters are judged like this, the public will even mistake their occasional flashes of inspiration for their true colors. I think that when the famous Pop artist brought Troy to his studio to be his apprentice, he only saw her exquisite brushwork, but ignored her empty and pale soul.soul. In fact, even great artists like my teacher are not completely immune from making such mistakes. "

Tang Ning smiled playfully.

However, she did not expand on this topic, but continued the reporter's question.

"You just asked I have any advice for young people. The best advice I can give them is to please be grounded. Whether designing your own works of art or designing your own career path, don't be too ambitious, let alone imagine having too many things that are destined to not belong to them. This way you won't be defeated by reality. ”

“I remember you are from Singapore, right? This fall, there will be an art biennale in Singapore."

"Yes, the National Art Center, our art event, should also follow up on oil paintings at the end of August. Will you go to Singapore by then?" The reporter nodded.

“Let’s talk about it. I mentioned this because a while ago, I heard that a child wanted to combine the styles of oil painting and Chinese painting to create a fusion painting to participate in an art exhibition. ”

“Wow, I think it’s very bold, but also very thoughtful. ”

The reporter imagined it and his eyes lit up.

As a native of the Lion City, he immediately felt the beauty of this idea, a combination of Eastern and Western styles. The work is beautiful.

What’s more, the organizer happens to be a city-state like Singapore, where the influences of the Eastern and Western worlds are mixed.

He can imagine this idea. It must have been a very interesting idea.

I didn't expect Tangning to say it in public.

"Maybe for some mature painters. It's just that I mention this now, not to praise him like some elders do. Instead, I think it is a very funny thing. He wanted to run when he couldn't walk. He didn't even understand oil painting and Chinese painting, so he wanted to confuse the two. This is a very, very utilitarian decision, and the outcome is bound to not be good. "

"For the vast majority of young painters, it is more useful to paint well seriously than to be opportunistic and flatter some evil ways to please the jury. Being down-to-earth is very important for all young painters. "

Tang Ning turned her head and looked at the camera.

"My glass heart can't bear it and I want to cry. My words are very unpleasant, but I will not give them to those who feel offended by me. I apologize because I just told the truth. ”

“Hey, if you’re not convinced, my Hundred Flowers Picture is right there. Everyone can try to draw it.” Reality will tell you the difference between mediocrity and genius. "

"Please remember that when I completed this painting, I was only 20 years old, and I was just a young painter like you. "

Tang Ning crossed her legs and smiled playfully at the camera.
