Rayada District is the district with the lowest degree of modernization in the city.
The Good Luck Orphanage has been powered on, but the surrounding shantytowns are still dark, with the dim light of candles and lanterns shining on the wet streets.
Occasionally, the blurry figures of pedestrians were stretched out by the weak candlelight, swaying and swaying.
Everything is like an old silent film that has been dusty for hundreds of years.
There is no sound, the tone is stale, and the flickering candlelight flames give the scene in front of you an aged brown texture.
There are so many breaths.
Gu Weijing could even imagine that in the next second, at the end of the long alley in front of the orphanage, a female painter with golden-red hair like the sun and delicate features like a Greek sculpture would come out.
She was wearing the kind of double-front buttoned dress that often appeared in Zweigli, black lace gloves that extended to her elbows, and was holding a gas lamp in one hand. Carrying a sketch pad on his back, he stood in front of the orphanage, staring at the statue of the Virgin in the yard, and considering whether the scene in front of him could be included in the painting.
Who by the river sees the moon for the first time, and the moon on the river shines on people for the first time.
This evening.
Gu Weijing stood where Ms. Carroll once stood, staring at the same bright moon that appeared in the sky of Myanmar in 1876. He just stared at the moon for a long time.
He stood by the window, holding the tea cup and sipping it slowly, until the steaming amber tea leaves in his hands became as warm as the Yangon night outside the window.
He always thinks about doing something memorable.
Gu Weijing doesn’t know how to drink.
At this point, it was too late to copy an oil painting of an old church during a thunderstorm, and he felt it was a bit deliberate. Ms. Carroll does not need such a clichéd memorial.
Finally, he came up with a good idea.
Gu Weijing took out his phone and opened the Twitter page.
By default, the homepage of Twitter is the homepage account of Detective Cat, which has not been logged in for a long time.
Gu Weijing casually checked the private messages in the background. There were dozens of spam messages insulting him, several interview invitations from unknown art tabloids, and several YouTube hosts. Private message seeking cooperation.
He swiped the screen and clicked to delete one by one.
The only surprising thing is.
In these various private messages.
He found that he had received an invitation from art weekly editor theeekart, asking if he would like to be a guest in the recording of a radio program.
Talk about the relationship between art and mental illness in his mind.
Art Weekly is one of the most subscribed columns in the art category on Apple Podcasts, with currently 560,000 subscribers.
It is different from Mr. Sloth’s art criticism, a niche private radio program.
Art Weekly actuallyIt is the official art news channel of Christie's Auction Company and is also considered one of the more mainstream art media.
Probably it was because of the good results of the salon appreciation reviews in that issue that he received such an invitation
You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t look at it, but you would be shocked when you look at it.
When he registered this account two months ago, his only speech was to criticize the Moon News for making dirty jokes about Miss Elena.
There was almost no news update. Unexpectedly, it was affected by public opinion, and unknowingly it had the attention of more than 5,000 fans.
I even received an interview invitation from the editor of Art Weekly. If I hadn’t been angered by the oil painting magazine, there might have been more similar invitations.
In a blink of an eye.
Regardless of fame or bad reputation, "Detective Cat" is already a cultural figure of medium or small size.
"Thank you for the invitation. I'm sorry, I have no plans to participate in the recording of the program recently. I hope we can collaborate again when we have the opportunity."
Gu Weijing's heart skipped a beat for a few seconds. In the end, he still used tactful and polite words to reject the art weekly editor's invitation to record.
It is not a bad thing if there are mainstream art programs that are willing to invite him to participate in the recording.
However, Gu Weijing is self-aware.
His understanding of art trends is not much ahead of ordinary high school students.
Christie’s program is more serious than Mr. Sloth’s chat salon where he comments on paintings submitted by fans. There is no way for him to cheat in advance by relying on calligraphy and painting appraisal skills.
It's better not to show your cowardice.
“I don’t know when a reporter of this caliber will come to interview Gu Weijing instead of Detective Cat. Maybe, at least he will really win an award at the Singapore Art Exhibition. , is this possible?"
While his mind was spinning, he had already clicked on settings and switched accounts.
The username changed from Detective Cat to Gu Weijing’s real name, and the account instantly became deserted.
The number of following fans suddenly increased from 5803 to 24.
This Twitter account was registered in the school’s self-media operations class.
Originally there were 25 fans, almost all of whom were classmates in class.
After Mona canceled her relationship with him, there were 24 people.
The artist’s Twitter account is very important.
It represents the painter's online image on the Internet. In the art market, popularity is money.
In the Western art world, there is no more convenient and cost-effective way for painters and galleries to promote themselves on Twitter and let everyone know about themselves.
Most people may not go to art exhibitions several times a year, but everyone checks their mobile phone every day.
If a major artist like Jane Arnold, who has millions of followers, would be gossiped about by art newspapers and fans, whoever is followed and unblocked would be gossiped about.
Although Gu Weijing himselfThe number of accounts was pitiful, but everything was very formal at the time.
The teacher of the elective course once slapped the blackboard and seriously warned everyone that everything on the Internet can be checked.
No big artist wants to be famous and suddenly discovered by the paparazzi that he posted something like "I want to kill some niggas with a gun" on the Internet ten years ago, or shared his dick on the Internet. On Twitter, this kind of old news can instantly kill their public image.
Even if it’s not that extreme.
If someone finds out, your account’s follow list is a long list of Welfare girls, which is not very respectable
Although there is no chance that you will actually become a public figure. .
But it is still best not to kill this possibility with your own hands.
Hanks, the agent of Ma Shi Gallery, also specifically mentioned that when their gallery signs a new painter, they will conduct a background check.
No matter how well you draw, you will not sign if there is a risk of thunder explosion.
The little painter is okay.
A big deal on the scale of Professor Kazunari Sakai.
Not only will the messages sent in social accounts be read word by word, if the industry has heard some bad reviews, Mashi Gallery will even spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hire a professional private investigator to conduct preliminary information collection and review.
Artists are the most important and expensive assets in the hands of gallery owners.
What if you spend tens of millions of dollars to sign a time bomb, but it turns out that after two months, you still haven’t warmed it up in your hands, and your backhand has been "too late".
Then the gallery owner was ready to jump off the building and die.
Note TOO is an anti-sexual assault movement that has swept across the entire European and American literary and artistic circles. It has caused Louis CK, Kevin Spacey and many other top literary figures to be involved in it, resulting in many movies worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Dollar talk show contracts and big-budget movie reshoots were cut, and investors suffered heavy losses.
Hanks even searched for Gu Weijing’s homepage on Twitter, rolled his eyes and expressed surprise.
Although I don’t have many fans, I still do it in a “presentable” way.
Ma Shi Gallery has a professional network operation department. Once they officially sign the contract, there is no need to register a new artist homepage.
If Gu Weijing is willing, he can just hand over this account directly to the management team for operation and management. It will retain some of the youthful marks of his student days and make future fans feel more cute and real.
It’s not surprising that Hanks thinks his account looks decent.
Because this was done for him by Mona, who was known as the "serious lady" on the Dulwich campus, referring to three pages of course notes.
Gu Weijing just wanted to fool around with the credits, but Miss Sandnu pressed his head and said that he had to do it well.
Suggestions from teachers of elective courses.
Never use the two-dimensional avatars and anime characters that make the artist’s homepage more popular.is the online name.
When you are thirty, you will know how unconventional it is to be named "Battle Tyrannosaurus".
On the artist’s Twitter homepage, it is best to use the artist’s real name and avatar openly. Only then is it official.
Gu Weijing’s Twitter homepage is called Gu Weijing guardian
The reason why the English name is Gu Wojin instead of Gu Weijing is because Mona said that in the textbook Having said that, a name that is conducive to communication is the first priority to make the audience remember you instantly.
The Chinese Pinyin of "eijg" is too convoluted to pronounce.
Many European foreigners who are born with big tongues and cannot pronounce back nasal sounds will start fighting with their tongues after saying two sentences.
So the English localized homophony of "arner" was used instead of the pronunciation of "经".
For foreigners who come to the East to develop, they often have to take a local name. This is the same reason.
Moreover, the name Wojin has a very good meaning, so she is right.
Gu Weijing’s headshot was also dragged by Mona to get a haircut, and then she took him to an art photo studio on the streets of Yangon that specializes in S-style and fresh style, and spent fifty dollars to take the photo. Mutually.
Gu Weijing was a little reluctant to part with a photo worth 100,000 kyats.
Miss Mona said that the original price was eighty US dollars, and the discount was only available if two people took the photo together, which was equivalent to a 40% discount for each person. It was a good deal, so I thought it was a favor to her.
If nothing else, although the photo studio charges shady fees, the results are quite good.
The photographer took the photo for 20 minutes, setting up various lights, changing fake collars, clothing and props, and also gave him a pair of round silver glasses with thin rims, and then polished them on Hotosho It took a long time to beautify the skin.
Gu Weijing’s appearance was originally unremarkable, but in the final film, he looked like the Hollywood movie star Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter when he was a child. It has a bit of a green and cute little shota flavor.
The photo was taken in ninth grade, and Gu Weijing has not changed it over the years.
In addition to photos, the teacher also asked everyone to think of a personal signature to show their artistry.
Mona knew that Gu Weijing liked Renoir.
So what she chose for Gu Weijing was Renoir's classic motto, "Life is like a cork floating in a river, we can only float ignorantly into the unknown distance."
Gu Weijing really felt that choosing such a personal signature with such a vicissitude of life at his age was really disappointing for a young man.
He secretly changed it to "an art student who wants to be admitted to the University of Paris I."
He once wanted to study in France, but Gu Weijing thought before that, He would definitely have no chance at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris or the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Versailles, one of the world's most well-known art academies.
Private professional art academies are too expensive. Université Paris I, which enjoys French government subsidies, has an art department.A comprehensive university is just right.
At this moment, it is only the time of the Spring Festival.
Miss Mona, who he thought would stay with him for a long time, has separated. The University of Paris I that he once wanted to apply for should become easily available, but Gu Weijing doesn't see it very well. Fuck each other.
It feels like things are right and people are different.
Gu Weijing clicked into the editing page of his personal information. He hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end, by some mistake, he did not change the English name Arner, but just re-edited a set of personalized signatures.
A noble work of art cannot be told by critics, it speaks for itself. A noble soul cannot be restrained by the world, and she will find freedom on her own.
At the end of this set of mottos, Gu Weijing did not choose to follow the example of countless oil painting magazines and write "To Ms. K" as the appendix. Salute."
He tapped the keyboard and changed it to pay tribute to Ms. Carroll.
After doing all this, Gu Weijing drank the tea next to him, turned on the fluorescent lamp in the small studio, and tightened the curtains.
Go to the safe placed in the corner.
Tonight, he asked Uncle Alai to drive him back to the Lucky Orphanage. In addition to remembering the senior female painter, he had another important thing to do.
He turned the combination dial on the safe, entered three sets of numbers, and opened the metal door of the safe.
After a whole day of experiencing the ding-dong experience-increasing prompts, at night, Gu Weijing still gained a small amount of single-digit experience, and the values on the overall system panel were basically the same. Stablize.

The biggest gain is undoubtedly Chinese painting techniques are accumulated over time. Gu Weijing has been practicing Chinese painting since he was a child. Once he understood it, when he gave Miss Sakai a rouge flower, his first experience value was more than 3,000 points, plus the subsequent total of zero and zero. Harvest.
The progress bar for the second level of the profession was half filled.
Shengzi said that no matter how much pain you endure, you should gain as much as you gain.
This is equivalent to the free experience value that can be exchanged for fifty thousand US dollars, and is almost equivalent to the sum of all the Chinese painting proficiency he has gained from childhood to adulthood.
It directly doubled his original experience bar, and this was obtained through his own understanding.
Drawing and oil painting techniques also have associated increases of thousands of points.
As for the remaining two items of watercolor and woodblock painting, he has accumulated the least and practiced the least. He is not very familiar with them and can improve them.Move up to a semi-professional level.
An unexpected surprise.
Gu Weijing took out the Chinese painting scroll tied with silk from the safe. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
