Almighty painter

Chapter 255 Public opinion
The cruel reality directly slapped Gu Weijing across the face.

When he was removed from "Oil Painting" earlier, Gu Weijing didn't have much resentment in his heart.

Anyway, the process of being rated as a "two and a half star" painter was like a dream.

I am just an internet artist without any representative works of serious illustrations.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

Gu Weijing is willing to believe with good and naive expectations that the magazine is more concerned about whether he is a formal art worker or not.

As long as I draw really excellent and serious works, the senior management of "Oil Painting" will see it, and it will be completely logical to restore my page in the future.

At this moment, seeing Sir Brown's erratic and nonsense in the video, Gu Weijing felt that his idol had been disillusioned.

"It turns out that the shareholders of Tangtang Oil Painting Magazine are just a group of ordinary people."

He was helpless and even wanted to laugh.

In fact, the profession of a great critic is not much different from that of a scholarly authority in essence.Look under a magnifying glass and you will always see countless human flaws.

Especially when it comes to disputes over aesthetic positions.

They could not have behaved more morally than Lysenko, who suppressed genetics, or Edison, who denigrated alternating current.

The only difference is that the artistic component is difficult to quantify.

Practice can prove the right or wrong of scientific theories.

Putting it in the field of art aesthetics, which is completely personal subjective judgment, it is difficult to prove that the critics are wrong.

It is because there is no price for being wrong, and when they suppress dissidents, they can often show no scruples.

"If... the critics of "Oil Painting" magazine are lying, is there any way to punish them?"

Gu Weijing asked in annoyance.

Detective Cat is currently his biggest channel for making money and providing experience points.

Just now, by chance and coincidence, he became famous, and inexplicably attracted the targets of these big bosses who could easily crush him to death.

Gu Weijing was also helpless.

No matter how hard you work, you may not be able to draw good works, and you may not be able to succeed if you draw good works-this is the cruelty of the art industry.

"Do you care about Detective Cat?"

Sakai Katsuko asked in confusion.

This kind of shit is neither common nor rare.

The critics make a living by criticizing, and it is quite normal for a certain art newspaper to scold a painter for everything.

It’s just that it is a spectacle in the history of art that Detective Cat can gather the collective negations of so many big judges, and Picasso may not have this ability.

Drawing knife painting... Well, hearing this genre of painting, Sakai Katsuko instinctively doesn't like Detective Cat very much.

She even felt that there might be nothing wrong with the evaluations of these judges.

The remaining three points hesitated,
It was still because of the blurry impression of the cover illustration that flashed on the screen.

Katsuko Sakai believes that the work that can make a little girl smile so innocently should not be so bad no matter how bad it is.

"I just feel that these judges seem to be the sword of Damocles hanging over each of us. Tell me, the ultimate purpose of our paintings is to express ourselves or to please art critics."

Gu Weijing's tone was erratic.

He is a teenager.

I have also encountered things like Brother Hao, Fan Duoen, Tanaka Masa and these stalls before.

Generally speaking, the world I see is still quite warm.

Cao Xuan, who is like a child, Lin Tao, a master of traditional Chinese painting, Uncle Sakai, who is chubby, Miss Judge, who is poisonous and fair, and Mr. Sloth, who is gentle and elegant.

Even Mrs. Sakai, who looks sarcastic and condescending, has a cute side after being in contact with her for a long time.

This is the first time that the dark side of the top art executives has been shown in front of Gu Weijing's eyes so nakedly and unadorned, which makes him a little indescribably frustrated.

"The ultimate purpose of painting is to bring a brand-new and unique artistic perspective to the world, so that everyone in the world will be touched for a moment's soul throbbing, and finally affect the world. Of course, in order to achieve this goal, painters should do more Whether to express yourself, or to please the critics."

Sakai Katsuko sighed, watching the flames dancing on the candlesticks: "This is a philosophical question. I believe that Rafael chose the latter. He won the appreciation of the archbishops, and he also won the pursuit of the entire high society in Florence. I also believe that Van Gogh chose the former, he only sold paintings of a few guilders in his life, but after his death he became an insurmountable peak in the history of art.”

The girl discovered the depression hanging over her boyfriend.

"Actually, for today's Detective Cat, there may not be no real opportunity to become famous in one painting."

Sakai Katsuko picked up the juice glass at hand, gently held the glass with Gu Weijing, blinked her big lilac eyes and said, "As long as she can prove them wrong, that's fine. Art critics eat [ Authority] This bowl of rice. When authority is shattered, in the eyes of collectors, judges without credibility are worthless."

"How to prove it?"

"There are two ways to deny authority, either it is a fact, or it is a greater authority. Renaissance painters, if they are hated by the lord, they can go to another king. If they are dissatisfied with the Slovini family, they can go to Medici family."

Sakai Katsuko raised two fingers: "If there are more top art giants to speak out for her, then the previous doubts are not worth mentioning, just as the regional bishop will not have the courage to deny the attainments of the Pope's favorite painter. It's a pity... ..."

"Unfortunately, the magazine "Oil Painting" is the greatest authority of our time, and it is the supreme Pope."

Gu Weijing followed Miss Sakai's tone and spread her hands.

There are barely a few people in the world who can refute the entire jury of "Oil Painting".

It may be enough that Larry Gagosian is willing to go all out, and Cao Xuan and Yayoi Kusama can also be counted.

As for Damian Hirst and Takashi Murakami, the sales may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but the status of art is still insufficient, so it can only be counted as half.

Even if he confessed to Mr. Cao.

Could it be that he didn't even pay homage to his teacher, so he was going to ask Mr. Cao to stand up for one of his illustrations and work against "Oil Painting"?
How could Gu Weijing have such a big face!

Love is far from that.

"In addition to top-down, it can also be bottom-up. The highest state of painting is to touch the deepest throbbing of people's hearts. If the works of Detective Cat can set off an upsurge of love in society as a whole. Faced with this fact, any critics Public opinion is powerless. A high-ranking man like Jerome was once defeated by a group of unknown boys on the banks of the Saishang River."

Jerome, as Ms. Shengzi said, is known as the heir of the neoclassical school of painting. He is one of the top ten figures in French art history. He comes from a wealthy family. He has won awards at the official Paris Salon and has a close relationship with high-level government officials. He is a proper academic. The life trajectory of a super boss.

The French Parliament issued special commemorative stamps on the occasion of his death and the 100th anniversary of his birth.

In his illustrious and brilliant life, the old man turned his car over only once, when his senior academic critics suppressed the opportunity of Impressionist painters.

With his personal influence, all important exhibitions, high-end salons, and the honorary evaluation of the French government expelled Impressionist painters from the list.

If it weren't for the excellent and unreasonable painting techniques of the Impressionists, their "Salon of the Unelected" painting exhibition still caused a sensation on the streets of Paris and attracted the attention of major American collectors under the suppression and slander of the academics.

Jerome almost succeeded.

King and loser,

This has also become an indelible stain on Jerome's life.

There is still a view that, if the Impressionists had not been suppressed, this gentleman might even have the opportunity to hope to enjoy the treatment of entering the Panthéon in Paris like another neoclassical master, Ingres.

Jerome and the Impressionists back then are like the Jury of Oil Painting and the portrayal of Detective Cat today.

"As long as Detective Cat is good enough, very, very good, then we can make this scene happen again." Katsuko Sakai concluded.

"Perhaps, that director Elena held such a belief that she made such a proposal at the shareholders' meeting of "Oil Painting" magazine."

Sakai Katsuko guessed the mood of the big sister in the wheelchair in the video.

She used this proposal to force herself and the other major shareholders of oil painting to the gambling table.

One side is the honor of the Elena family, and the other side is the aesthetic authority and academic reputation of the twelve artistic predecessors.

put all one's eggs in one basket.

Miss Elena and Detective Cat have no way out.

These respected art critics have no way out.

"What a gamble." Sakai Katsuko thought in her heart.

Even the little African artist probably couldn't have predicted that a small illustration of his own might affect the future direction of the entire art industry.

Does she really have a chance to perform miracles?

……

The sky was an orange-red mixture of lemon and fire at sunset.

after dinner,
The female bodyguard cleared away the cutlery and takeaway boxes.

Sakai Katsuko walked out of the concierge's hut, stared silently at the Huoshaoyun in the sky for a few seconds, and then changed her mind.

The determination to work hard to improve my painting level is not just talk.

To see such a beautiful sunset.

Ms. Shengzi set up a small easel, and decided to add a practice for herself, to draw the fire and clouds, and then go back to the hotel.

Awang who woke up lay at her feet contentedly eating a piece of veal that Katsuko Sakai had specially left for him, and ignored Jasmine who ran over and wanted to continue playing with him.

The cat is already angry!
Children from orphanages don't have the habit of feeding cats with French meals.

Just now Awang smelled the alluring aroma coming from the hut, and tried every means to get into the hut with all his might, but every time he was driven out by Jasmine.

Tmd has no conscience!
I played with you all afternoon, but in the end I was not even willing to give you something delicious!
It's still the cute big sister who has the fresh strawberry smell on her body, and she has meat to eat with her.

Awang rubbed his head against Miss Sakai's ankle, and continued to happily press the beef block with his front paws, biting small mouthfuls.

Gu Weijing didn't go home either, he didn't have much mood to appreciate the peaceful and beautiful scene in front of him, and kept looking at the phone screen.

Katsuko Sakai accidentally mentioned it today.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

At this time, I checked the Internet and found that the discussion on the oil painting shareholders meeting and Detective Cat on the Internet is not low in related fields.

In addition to the video they saw at dinner, some bloggers specially edited the clips of Miss Irina holding the "Little Prince" sample booklet and made it into a video.

He posted the link in the comments section of Mr. Hyperian's program [From $100 to $[-] Million Painting Challenge] in the name of "Fairy Sister's Follow-up".

Mr. Hyperion's program has been online for a long time, and the popularity remains unabated.

Today, there are still more than one million views every day.

Under the drainage of the world's number one Internet celebrity, the attention of this topic is rising steadily.

Even on the art section of the Reddit community, there is already a special section [#说谈看，探探猫是真实艺术师].

Messages from netizens from all over the world flashed on the screen in front of me.

"The "Oil Painting" magazine is really going to change. Is the "Oil Painting" without the imprint of Irina's family still the old "Oil Painting"? I decided not to order it."

"I really hate you unprofessional lovers. We respect the artistic accomplishment of the Irina family. It's not this surname. A little girl who has only grown up for a short time, how can she be equated with the Irina family! Click here Reasonably, Einstein's son must also be a great scientist."

"I don't care. I don't care about the Elena family. I watched the video of the shareholder meeting yesterday. There are so many old men bullying a beautiful young lady. Poor, I really want to hug her."

"Bro, tune in. Do you know who she is, Anna Elena. It's fine if you're uneducated. Have you watched Netflix's hit drama "The Crown"? It starts with Queen Elizabeth II being crowned at Westminster Abbey At the ceremony, the special actor who watched the ceremony next to the Prince of Spain in the second row on the right played her grandfather. Her father used to be a member of the European Parliament. When she was born, Grand Duke Otto personally went to the delivery room to congratulate her. Conservatively speaking, her net worth is hundreds of millions of euros. Her private jet burns gas money for one night, which is enough for you to deliver food for a lifetime. I sympathize with this kind of princess? Did you take too many drugs last night, or did you knelt on your knees for a long time and couldn’t stand up? ?”

"??? Your focus is so strange. Am I the only one who is curious about what happened to Detective Cat? Why did the shareholders of "Oil Painting" magazine discuss it alone? On such a large acquisition proposal occasion, turn your head away When discussing the level of an online illustrator, it is really paradoxical that there is such a big gap between the views of the two sides.”

"What else is there, this Miss Elena made a misjudgment, and she is still stubborn. When the Hyperion video was broadcast before, I felt that such a young female judge was too unreliable. Not long ago, Van Dorn also She came out and made trouble. She ruined the reputation of Master Van Dorn for so many years by saying a few words by herself, what a villain."

"I don't understand, why can't those shareholders make a mistake?"

"Upstairs, I am an art student. Believe me, when I see the faces of these old gentlemen when I watch the video, I have the urge to kneel down."

"Brother, remove the word impulsive. I also work in the gallery industry. Just seeing the names of these shareholders makes me kneel. I am 100% sure that this detective cat is completely finished. Her career Already have the option to reopen..."

"..."

The page is constantly refreshed.

Whether it is a Reddit discussion group or Twitter, the overall negative public opinion is not good at all.

People are always more willing to believe what experts say.

There is also a moderator on the board who opened a poll called "Are you optimistic about the artistic level of Detective Cat?" At present, 1631 people have chosen no, and only 197 people have chosen yes.

Look at public opinion.

Most of those who voted "yes" were because of the sympathy points that Miss Yi Lianna gave him.

"Hey, take it easy. If Detective Cat really draws a beautiful work, the beautiful art will speak for itself."

Sakai Katsuko looked at the faces of the people around her from time to time while she was painting.

Gu Weijing seems to care too much about Detective Cat.

Seeing Gu Weijing's face getting more and more gloomy, the girl suddenly put down her paintbrush, walked over and put her arms around her boyfriend's neck.

Miss Sakai hugged Gu Weijing into her arms, patted him on the back softly and comforted him: "I don't know why you are so worried, Mr. Gu. But don't be afraid, although you are all painters from small places. But you No, you're not a helpless detective cat, you're my boyfriend. So I won't let the same thing happen to you."

　Originally, I should be able to write about the launch of "The Little Prince" today, but I still have to make a train tomorrow, so let's update it tomorrow.
