Chapter 425 Cao Xuan takes the stage

"If you have to donate billions to win, then don't give up this victory."

While cdx's gallerist applauded, he said in a very soft voice, "If it is If my child does this, I will definitely lock her in the cellar, hang her up and smoke her."

"Alas"

The sea of ​​applause covered up his faint sigh. .

"But you're right, Larry, today, no one can defeat her. We can only buzz and clap feebly like poor bees flying around the queen. ."

The art masters in the front row stood up one after another to praise and applaud Miss Anna.

Even Sir Brown.

No one knows how this man, who has only been an infinitely brilliant artistic king for five minutes, feels when he applauds.

It must be quite gloomy.

No one wants to explore.

Even if he is a personal secretary.

Anna joked with a smile.

“Forget it, the little girl in the wheelchair insisted on walking up on her own. If I were still trembling and fell down in a gust of wind, wouldn’t it look really useless? "What?"

Mr. Cao asked with an angry smile.

"Let's go, it's time for me to go up too."

Cao Xuan will come to help her, which is more of a gesture of support for her and a way of showing goodwill.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and reached out to hold Cao Xuan's arm, which was an obvious sign of goodwill.

People are old.

Elliot was just as shocked and stunned as many people present.

Hey, don’t say it yet.

She only knew that Anna insisted on walking up to the podium today, but she did not know that the other party had made up his mind to donate tens of thousands of family collections and build a public museum.

There was another burst of applause in the venue, and flash lights were connected.

My legs and feet are really nimble.

Secretary Elliot took Anna's arm, handed her a cane that had been prepared, and whispered in the woman's ear.

The height will shrink, but the old man’s hunchback is not serious.

“All kinds of insurance and maintenance cost a lot of money every year. Anyway, I never planned to sell them. Handing over these artworks to the family foundation can be covered by the exhibition income. If we eliminate the daily maintenance and insurance expenses and make a profit and absorb donations, I think it is very cost-effective, isn’t it the same model as the Getty Center and the Rockefeller Foundation?”

"Thank you. You look younger than many people."

He was immediately snatched away by his respective assistants and secretaries who were waiting aside and their hearts were so nervous that they almost stopped beating.

He raised his neck.

The two people just walked a few symbolic steps.

Old gentleman strives for strengthThe competitive childish temperament comes out again.

"Miss, I shouldn't interfere with your decision, but for such a big matter, you really should discuss it with me and the housekeeper, Mr. Adelal, in advance."

It’s unclear who is supporting whom and who is holding on to whom in this pairing.

He took big steps in all directions and walked towards the podium.

"That's very good. Miss, do you need my help to show the spirit of chivalry? If you don't feel too old yet."

Cao Xuan walked to the stairs and waited for a while. , Anna, who was slowly walking down the steps one by one, took the initiative to stretch out her arm.

"Think so, Eliot."

Going down the stairs is harder than going up.

Anna is also a tall type.

Cao Xuan looks like a dry old man, but he is actually quite tall.

In addition, she is wearing flat shoes, so two generations, one old and one young, stand together almost one side high, which is quite photogenic.

When he was young, he was the kind of tall and handsome guy on the beach who often appeared in standard old Hong Kong movies.

Cao Xuan organized the speech in his hand. He waved his hand and refused Lao Yang’s support.

Just kidding.

I estimated the possibility of rolling down with the old gentleman, and looked at the rosy face of the little old man.

It has the meaning of a historic handshake between the "Eastern and Western art circles" that bridges the 70-year age gap. Photographers immediately captured this milestone shot.

In addition, after standing on the stage for so long, Anna really felt like she was about to fall.

Miss Elena knows.

The secretary is unhappy and doesn’t want to talk.

Everyone wisely avoided the low-pressure air mass surrounding him, leaving him with some quiet private space.

She hesitated briefly for a few seconds.

The construction cost of a large museum alone is enough to pay insurance for many years.

Elliot helped Anna walk towards his seat without saying a word.

The standing crowd who wanted to surround her were like waves being separated, pushed away by the invisible brilliance of Anna's body.

"Why?"

As he walked past Sir Brown, the old gentleman stared blankly at the stage and suddenly asked.

His voice was as soft as sleep.

But Anna still heard it and knew that the other party was talking to her.

"You just said that every glorious dynasty will collapse, but that is not today." Anna looked at Cao Xuan, who had walked back to the rostrum, and said lightly, "You are right, today It’s the day when the artistic dynasty of Irina’s family collapses. But it’s not the day when you can take the throne. Mr. Brown, maybe one day you can realize your ambition."

"Not here, not today. ”

"There are talented people from generation to generation."

Cao Xuan looked at the respectful and enthusiastic eyes in the entire venue, and felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

He had seen the same look countless times in his life.

The difference this time is.

He knew clearly that the eyes in the audience were not looking at him. Most people were still immersed in Miss Elena's shocking speech and could not extricate themselves.

Ninety-nine percent of people will think that Anna is out of her mind and that it is unimaginable to be a prodigal.

Only Cao Xuan, who has seen the ups and downs for a hundred years and is old and strong, does not think so.

He guessed that Miss Elena might be willing to take out her oil painting shares to win over the leading figures in the art world.

But I didn’t expect it.

The other party was more decisive, more willing, and more courageous than he imagined.

He directly donated the vast art collection that had been passed down by his family for hundreds of years without even frowning.

Not for certain groups, but for everyone.

Did Anna lose money?

The Elena family was destined to only hold on to piles of gold coins, and its influence gradually withered and decayed.

Now.

I was directly revitalized by Anna.

At the peak of her great-grandfather’s influence, it was not much stronger than this.

The combined influence of the direct heirs of the Habsburg family who are now racing drivers or political activists may not be as great as hers alone.

If influence can be bought with money.

Then Nelson Rockefeller would not have repeatedly failed in the general election. Throughout his life, he would have been one step away from the supreme power of the president.

Note: Former Vice President of the United States, the person with the most consecutive terms as governor of New York in history. But he started out in art and was the director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He is also the heir to the once richest oil family. It is repeatedly mentioned in the memoirs of many political figures that he is very capable and good at dancing. But because his family is so rich, he is like a super young man. There is a lack of decisiveness and determination to take a gamble on important political nodes. Therefore, it is difficult to elect a grassroots-born Nixon.

She just announced that the dusty art palace in her home was open to the public.

It's like the famous "Exquisite Chess Game" in Jin Yong's martial arts.

As for money

Is there any difference in people’s lives between money that cannot be spent in ten centuries and money that cannot be spent in a hundred centuries?

And even if you hold a mountain of gold and silver in your hand, can anyone really see the changes in the situation a hundred years from now?

Can revitalize a family’s reputation with 140,000 pieces of art.

Make a lot of money.

Earn money with blood.

"It's so skillful and powerful." Cao Xuan could only sigh in his heart.Feeling again.

He waited a little longer, waiting for the boiling discussion in the venue to gradually fade away, and then he slowly said, "I suddenly felt that I was really old. The most obvious characteristic of people getting old is , I just feel like I’m starting to fall behind the times.”

“It’s such a beautiful speech that I probably wouldn’t be able to deliver.”

Cao Xuan opened his mouth.

The venue finally slowly calmed down.

"Ms. Elena, you put me, a poor little old man, in an embarrassing situation. I was like the century in which Martin Luther King delivered I Have a Dream in front of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. The helpless and hesitant pastor speaker who appeared after the speech was so nervous that he couldn't even speak properly. The scene was a disaster. Every time I watched the TV broadcast review, I felt embarrassed for that gentleman. ”

“But fortunately, every art exhibition and every speech I hold is actually quite successful, better than I imagined, because I have a secret, a secret that I won’t tell. . Now, I can share it with everyone."

The old man smiled mysteriously and raised his eyebrows.

Everyone in the venue listened attentively.

Even Gagosian and the others' hearts beat a beat faster and they exchanged fiery glances.

Art exhibitions are high-cost, high-risk, and high-reward things.

A large exhibition can cost at least millions.

Super large exhibitions like Hirst’s “Grasci Palace Exhibition”, which cost tens of millions of pounds in materials and labor alone, occasionally appear.

The exhibition was a success.

All costs can be doubled, the artists’ personal values ​​have soared, gallery owners have made a lot of money, and it goes without saying that they can buy islands and planes.

But the exhibition failed, which made people vomit blood.

Spending tens of millions to hold an exhibition and inviting various celebrities and critics to see it, the result was scolded.

Not only was the exhibition cost lost, but after calculations were made, piles of money were thrown out. As a result, the value of the money tree fell even further.

Then you will feel really depressed and want to eat shit.

Smash it a few more times.

Intercontinental Gallery will also go bankrupt.

The current predicament of Ma Shi Gallery stems from this.

Mashi III doesn’t like to linger like this. He really wants to sell the iron and spend 50 million or even 100 million euros.

To hold a first-class super exhibition that attracts world attention, people grit their teeth and sell their blood, so they just tighten their belts and do it.

If only I could bring out a cash cow.

The Ma Shi Gallery started shaking again.

But it can afford to do it, but it cannot afford to lose.

If such a big exhibition fails, even if it does not fail, as long as it is not explosive enough, the cost cannot be recovered.

Ma Shi Gallery can then declare its closure completely.

UseWhat is the probability that hundreds of millions of euros will generate the next Hearst?

No more than 20%, maybe no more than 10%.

So it is better to continue to live like this.

This is why even Gagosian, the world's number one gallerist, bent down to hug the thigh of Sir Brown, the top critic.

Is there really any secret to this kind of thing?

How could there be a secret?

Others dare to talk so shamelessly in front of Gagosian and the others. Bragging.

You will definitely be beaten out as an ignorant and fearless liar.

But it’s the master on stage now.

Thinking about this evergreen figure in the beauty scene, who has had a brilliant and extremely successful career, they are still willing to be skeptical.

Everyone glanced at each other quietly, then turned away in disgust, suddenly feeling that each other was an eyesore.

Oh, Master Cao is too old and confused. How can such a thing be said in public? Let’s hold a cocktail party in private. Just tell me in private. Those other bitches are so coquettish and coquettish. How are you qualified to listen?

"The secret is to lower your expectations." The little old man winked at the camera.

Pfft

The audience was silent for two seconds, and then burst into laughter, almost blowing off the entire alien roof of the New Art Center.

Some people even laughed to tears.

"Wow, I like him, this old man is so interesting"

"Very kind, feels like my grandfather."

"I heard that he I know both Picasso and I thought that such a highly respected artist would be either Picasso's serious demeanor in interviews or Henry Boole's crazy and hard-to-understand demeanor. I didn't expect that he would be so... Interesting."

Gu Weijing, who was in front of the screen, was also surprised by Mr. Cao's funny opening remarks.

He is still worried.

After Miss Irina takes the stage, it will be difficult for Cao Xuan to handle the scene.

Look now.

The old man is young and old, but he can cope with it very well.

Worrying about Mr. Cao, Gu Weijing is really worried about things, and he doesn’t know how high the sky is.

Actually.

If it were purely compared to typhoon, it would be better than the instigating power of a speech to capture people's hearts.

Even though he is several generations older, Cao Xuan is still slightly inferior to Miss Anna just now.

No one present, including Gagosian and Sir Brown, can compare.

One is the impression of public image.

It’s not that Cao Xuan’s image is bad, but Anna’s stage image is too buggy.

You can’t force someone to compete between a white-haired old man who is nearly a hundred years old and a young lady in the prime of life, who can catch people’s attention in front of the camera.

This is no longer a question of academic level or speaking ability.

It is an unreasonable dimension reduction attack from biological instinct.

It might not work if you dig out Einstein and move it here.

Another more important reason is the difference in education and social positioning.

People like Sir Brown, after all, are only scholars or artists.

Cao Xuan, who was taught by words and deeds of the literati temperament, was more restrained.

The Elena family was once one of the core rulers of the old times in Europe.

Historically, they were famous for their eloquence and long-sleeved dancing in the palace struggles centered on various salons.

Speech is almost a basic skill for Western politicians.

Even though they have long since faded out of the political stage and lost their titles, their huge empires disappeared in the rolling waves of war.

But Anna’s family education since she was a child and her elders’ position towards her.

It's still completely different.

Not every aunt will give her niece a shotgun and let her choose to be Anne Boleyn or Ye Huang.

Therefore.

In fact, since she was a child, a certain part of her body has been preparing to be on stage and shine in the eyes of the world.

Anna has been preparing for this for twenty years.

So the moment she stepped onto the podium and uttered the first word from her lips, it became as grand and passionate as the beautiful song of the Sirens.

It firmly grasped everyone's eyes and hearts.

Cao Xuan’s speech had a completely different feeling.

Very friendly.

There is no pretense of a great artist at all.

Both humorous and humble, he grabbed the audience's attention without realizing it.

“This is not a joke. Don’t expect how successful your speech or art exhibition will be, how much money you can make, or whether it will be included in the annals of history.”

"Think more about what you can give, rather than what you can get. Think more about whether you can impress the audience, whether you can give them a happy mood, and whether you can make everyone feel more calm, so that everyone can be more happy. A reflection on the times. Rather than the rise and fall of the artist’s auction rankings.”

“When gain turns to giving, greed turns to selflessness. Then you will see what the world looks like. It makes a big difference. This is really the secret of my career.”

“My teacher taught me not to think about how many people come to your exhibition, but to think about each one. What can you give to those who come to the exhibition? This is the virtue of a gentleman in the East.”

Cao Xuan’s eyes are bright.

He said seriously, "Believe me, when people with such a mentality do things, the results will usually not be too bad."

"Precipitated ArtThe beauty of art, the nostalgia of home and country, and the torrent of the times can all be blended into a small paintbrush. Everyone can see a little projection of the ripples in their hearts at the art exhibition. This is my disciple Tangning, who will join forces with cdx Gallery. The slogan for the Mountain View art exhibition to be held in London later this year. ”

“I’m looking forward to seeing if it can be done. Please help me supervise it.” ”

Everyone burst into applause.

Both Cao Xuan and Tang Ning are famous and top-notch painters, worthy of the respect given by these masters.

"Tang Ning, the sky-high-priced artist who just set a new record for both individual unit price and auction total at the Xiangjiang auction at the beginning of this year"

"Yes, yes, she is Cao Xuan's first closed house. Son, you don’t know, the internet has just been connected to the village.”

Some netizens couldn’t help but joke.

“Tang Ning is opening a new personal art exhibition. This is striking while the iron is hot. , I want to create another good story. Expect, expect. ”

“Open it in London? It sounds interesting.” ”

“Cao Xuan announced her closure a few years ago. Now, it’s time to support new people. Judging from the price trend and exposure in the past few years, she is most likely to be promoted. Alas, I thought Lin Tao, with CAFA's backing, would have a chance. ”

“People have said in interviews that she is Mr. Cao’s successor. If not her, who should I recommend? Lin Tao is the oldest, but his current worth should be lower than his own. There are quite a few junior sisters there. The first person in Eastern Xia who was not regarded as Gagosian did indeed lose a lot from the perspective of net worth to Mr. Lin. "

"Lin Tao is an art master, and Tang Ning was brought up by the old man himself since he was a child. It is not a concept. From a long time ago, the critics have most likely concluded that this is the one who will take over the old man's class. She is the true prince. ”

Netizens discussed with great interest in the comment area.

In the venue, the assistant Lao Yang in the front row also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my bet was correct.

Even if there were small issues, Mr. Cao still looked after Tang Ning when it came to important matters.

He would still support her on such occasions.

p>

In the camera, the spotlight was on Tang Ning.

Tang Ning stood up and waved majestically to the audience and colleagues who were applauding her.

Of course.

She did not get the opportunity to speak in person on stage, but under the influence of the teacher, she also got a few seconds of exposure from the annual meeting. In fact, Tang Ning was almost treated the same as Elvis Presley

At his core, Tangning was the opposite of Hunter Bull who was like a tramp in the venue.

< p>Her confidence in public image and self-marketing skills are not as good as Anna's, but they are much better than Buell.

Since her debut, Tangning has been a social butterfly.

Don’t get me wrong.

This is not a derogatory term.

When the word "courtesan" was first invented in the early 20th century, it was completely a compliment. It was used by New York tabloids to praise gossip stars such as the daughter of the rubber king.

It was first introduced into the Eastern Xia Dynasty.

It is also used to describe ladies who are of noble birth, have excellent education, and are chased by people in social situations.

Representative of the social butterfly.

One south and one north, one light and one thick, Southern Tang and Northern China.

Whether it was Tang Ying, who made Song Ziwen write many love letters, or the more famous Lu Xiaoman, who had an on-again, off-again relationship with Xu Zhimo, the people who made newspapers chase them in social situations in those days were all serious and well-known people. Miss.

And Tang Ning is confident that she has both Tang Ying's lightness and Lu Xiaoman's elegance.

He is a typical person who is full of poetry and calligraphy.

She enjoyed the flashes of flashlights all around, leaving her most artistic figure to everyone.

He exhaled with a smile and looked towards the stage.

The world's cameras are on her.

Her teachers are making a name for her, the gallerists of Gagosian, Leeson, ACE, CDX, Sir Brown, including Miss Irina who just stirred up the world's art scene.

Everyone applauded her politely.

The teacher still prefers me.

She believes that one day will not be far away. She can sit in the front row by herself, sit among those people, and become one of the attendees of these top art feasts.

And none of this can be stopped by a bitch jumping out of Yangon.
