Almighty painter

Chapter 408 Tangning’s request

Journalists are born to chase big stories.

They all dream of being like real superheroes, going deep alone, rushing into layers of fog, and digging out earth-shattering news.

Uncover the secrets of the U.S. Air Force's evil research in the Nevada desert, and sneak into the underground black market where enriched uranium is traded...

If you really can’t find photos of aliens in green leather suits or arms dealers smuggling nuclear facilities, it would be a good idea to expose Epstein’s sexual assault scandal.

He raised his spy camera and took wild shots, then waved his sleeves and walked away without looking back.

From then on, he became famous and reached the pinnacle of his life. He became a legendary monument that cannot be avoided on a page in journalism textbooks. He was respected and yearned for by his classmates. He lived a life where he could drive a Porsche every day while giving speeches around the world.

It would be better if some Hollywood investors and producers could use themselves as the prototype to make a commercial film about a lone hero confronting the world.

When I sleep, I feel so beautiful just thinking about it.

When reporter William was 20 years old, he drooled and fell asleep in the lecture theater of Columbia University. He even wrote a letter to the director to suggest who should play him.

Leonardo is not his type. Tom Cruise is a bit too handsome and a bit unreal. It would be best for Brad Pitt or Matt Damon to play such a meaningful role.

Of course, it is not unacceptable to ask a black actor to play him out of the perspective of impacting the Oscars and political correctness.

But at least it has to be Denzel Washington, or Will Smith before the slap scandal.

The ideal is full, but the reality is cruel.

After graduation, reporter William, who was slammed to the ground and slapped by society, quickly realized the reality. Being an investigative reporter or a war reporter is really life-threatening.

And financial reporters and art paparazzi.

The most exciting thing that can happen in daily life is just to see the rich lady's GLS passing by at a traffic light. My heart skips a beat, and I twist my butt on the piano-painted front bumper of the car, begging pitifully for an interview opportunity.

The life that most resembles a spy is to sneak into the trash can next to the artist's London apartment in the dark, risking being beaten by the doorman, rummaging through used condoms, and then commenting on them.

and so.

William understood quite well those colleagues who rushed towards the venue just to get a close-up photo of Hunter Bull one second early.

Change before.

He was already about to rush.

Isn't it just for this scene that I insist on running every day in the university gym?

That's "Elvis" Bull.

Some news, like the bikini-clad girl dancing on stage at a college party, is destined to attract everyone's breathless attention.

Compared with the condom models at the doorsteps of celebrities.

The strong alliance between Boole and "Oil Painting" magazine is such a hot news topic.

however.

William did not compete with all his colleagues like vicious dogs for the news traffic that this news could bring.

He cheated.

If a person cheats, it would be boring to grab the exposure of these three melons and two dates.

William came with a nuclear bomb in his backpack, not one intended to assassinate the president, but a journalism nuclear bomb.

Even before the annual meeting officially opened, the invisible crown of the King of News had already been placed on his head.

He knows what the real big news is.

The detailed press release was lying in his backpack.

Compared with this news, even the marriage between Bull and "Painting" will be set off like the separation and reunification of the Kardashian sisters and NBA players, a news dessert casually glanced at after dinner TV.

An hour and a half later.

All art practitioners around the world.

He would be like studying the American Declaration of Independence, holding a magnifying glass and staying up all night studying every punctuation mark he typed word by word.

Read this section.

William looked at the contempt and ridicule of the newcomer in the eyes of the buddy next to him, and he was not angry at all.

It turned out to be a bit sympathetic and lonely.

He felt sympathy because he seemed to see himself busy scrambling for news that was not very important.

And because such important information can only be known by making a phone call, it is too easy and lonely.

"News dogs who play with inside information are hated by people, and...it's really cool."

William subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette from his pocket.

Immediately he realized that he was not a guest who had a special channel to stop him. Smoking was prohibited in the entire New Art Center. Whether it was e-cigarettes or lighters, they were all confiscated during the security check.

He shrugged.

Regretfully, he walked into the venue, ready to re-check the news he had rushed out late at night.

According to the agreement he made with Miss Elena.

The confidentiality agreement was maintained until the end of Sir Brown's speech.

He was authorized by the editor-in-chief.

The moment the heir of the Irina family takes the stage, his press release will appear on the homepage of the "Brokerage Critic" website and the headlines on the APP client.

The loud sound of high heels tapping on the marble floor came from behind.

William and the reporter buddy next to him turned their heads in the direction of the sound almost at the same time.

Prada's embroidered ducal dress, Vacheron Constantin's minute repeater complex mechanical watch, elegant and feminine JIMMY CHOO high heels, the brand can't be seen on the wrist, but it should be the Alaska ruby ​​jewelry designed by a well-known jewelry craftsman, Hermès in the 80s The classic black and gold color handbag...

His years at Columbia were not entirely spent sleeping.

Fashion appreciation classes were even a required course in journalism where William studied.

Journalists are public figures and need to know how to dress in front of the camera.

It is even more necessary to be able to quickly judge the social status and financial status of the interviewee from a person's clothing brand in a few seconds.

Similar to Anna Elena.

William's knowledge of fashion appreciation is a little lacking, because her clothes are not fashionable. When we met in the car, the clothes she wore from head to toe did not have any trademarks. Most of the fabrics were pure cashmere, which was rumored to be classic Old. The Money family's favorite.

William only knows that at first glance, ordinary people may even think that it is a bit ordinary, and the complete set must be super expensive.

As for how expensive it was, he had no idea.

The journalism teacher who only listened to the lecture said that some of the top tailors in Europe are not even open to the public.

The media once gossiped about a similar cashmere coat owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. When it was custom-made at a shop near Savile Row in London, the tailor's quote plus fabric was 21 euros.

Fortunately.

This was probably the style of clothing worn by the guests attending the meeting, and William could easily recognize it.

He appraised it in his mind and knew that this was a big shot.

The outfit is elegant and sophisticated, and the clothes are very good.

This is not critical.

The key is that after this outfit, the market price is almost as high as a BMW 5 Series sedan.

Except for that Vacheron Constantin watch.

It alone should be as good as two BMW 7 Series.

The woman walked gracefully through the VIP aisle separated by red ribbons next to the media entrance. William couldn't help but stare at her profile for a long time. This is a woman who is not beautiful but is very beautiful, a woman who is not young but is very young.

Although this description sounds a bit strange.

But this is the impression she gives to outsiders. In terms of appearance, her chin is a bit round. In terms of Eastern or Western aesthetics, this is not a woman who can be described as a beauty.

The appearance is ordinary and the appearance is mediocre.

But no matter what, you just can't put the label of "mediocre middle-aged aunt" on her in your heart.

Just like the N pole and S pole of a magnet are always at opposite ends.

She carries an awe-inspiring and proud aura that is so powerful that neither age nor appearance can restrain her. Even though there are light wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she still has a faint girlish look.

"That should be Tangning..."

No need to ask anyone.

Reporter William immediately matched this face with a name that stood out in his mind.

The hot news in the art world this month is the European Art Annual Conference.

So this month ago, the focus of the entire high-end art circle was all on the woman who entered the venue from the VIP channel.

Cao Xuan's most recent disciple is also the most valuable disciple.

If William couldn’t even recognize this big shot.

He should stop messing around.

The quarrel about Detective Cat is just more noisy and joyful on the Internet.

Not to mention that Detective Cat is an illustrator, her net worth may not be even a fraction of Tang Ning's.

The status difference between Detective Cat and Tang Ning is just like the status difference between Tang Ning and her teacher Cao Xuan or that Hunter Bull.

They all sound famous.

People who don’t know much about the serious art world may even think that Detective Cat is more famous because of YouTube celebrity videos.

But the three have never been creators of the same dimension.

The difference between a clown and a master.

"Yes, that's her. Cao Xuan's close disciple, a popular Asian female painter. Not to mention her teacher, she is also one of the top ten painters in the venue. She can be here today, but They are all immortal figures.”

The reporter buddy next to him also immediately recognized the identity of this distinguished woman.

"There are no other reporters here now. Do you think if I run over and shout, she will stop and let me ask a question?"

The reporter hesitated for a moment, feeling that people would ignore him. Then he thought of the bright stars in the venue at the moment, and he sighed softly with regret.

"Forget it, brother, there's not much hope. I'll give this opportunity to you."

He patted William on the shoulder, said something true or false, and walked hurriedly towards the venue.

William didn't really run over.

He came with a mission. Miss Elena's mission is the most important news today and the only important responsibility.

Bystanders.

It was completely irrelevant in William's mind.

He just stood there and watched the Asian female art master disappear from the entrance to the VIP channel of the main venue.

Somehow.

He felt that this noble art master seemed a bit incongruous.

It seemed that he felt that the other party was...a little angry.
-

Tangning was very angry.

She likes to feel like the most important person in the scene, likes the flashlights flashing like sunlight for her, the crowds rushing towards her desperately, all the microphones reaching towards her, everyone shouting his name, begging like a pug. The moment she looked back.

And now.

From the moment we got off the VIP car, there wasn't even a single reporter waiting to interview her because of Hunter Bull's sensational appearance.

Do not misunderstand.

She has no interest in stopping, nor will she waste her precious time asking questions to peripheral reporters.

But whether she was interested or not was one thing.

Whether or not you will be chased and surrounded like a big star is a completely different matter.

Since she was twenty.

From the day she made a blockbuster appearance at the Shanghai Art Exhibition, this feeling has been surrounding her all the time.

To be precise, long before her official debut, after the morning when she became Cao Xuan's youngest disciple, she was an artistic genius with unlimited future in the eyes of the media every minute and every second.

The next twenty years.

Whether it is the mainland of Eastern Xia, Xiangjiang, or Treasure Island.

Overseas Europe, North America.

She is always the most talked about person.

The huge sums of money from the gallery, the endless scenery at the exhibition, the personal exhibition in the centuries-old art gallery in Florence... She fell asleep with the reporters' films on her pillow, and all the good things came one after another as expected.

This month her interview will appear on the cover of Oil Painting magazine.

That should have been the pinnacle of Tang Ning's glory. The world's spotlight should have shone on her. At this landmark moment, she would enter the world's first-class painters' hall.

but,

This feeling of emptiness and no one's attention clearly told Tangning that she was not that important here.

She returned to being the third child in a scholarly family with a long history in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a little girl with braided hair who was not valued by her parents.

The reporter said.

She is probably in the top ten in the entire guest list.

Put it another way.

This also means that at this moment, there are as many great artists as there are in the main venue of this art museum, and each one of them has a similar status to her, or even more important than her.

She hated this feeling extremely.

Someday.

She will become the undisputed queen in the art circle, the head of the Oriental Painting School, and the most important female artist in the history of human art.

More than the Impressionist Lady Mary, more than the Pop Art Yayoi Kusama, more than "Elvis Presley" Boole.

More than all of these.

include……

Her teacher, Cao Xuan.

As for Gu Weijing's little one, Tangning didn't pay much attention to it anymore. She was like the singer civilization who had thrown two-phase foil into the solar system.

She didn't care whether the bug was destroyed or not.

Tangning had more important things to do, so she took out her phone and dialed a number.

"I want to make sure that my teacher will mention my "Looking on the Mountain" art exhibition in London next month in the closing speech, right?"
