Almighty painter

Chapter 411 Muse Plan

Tens of thousands of people around the world are watching the live broadcast of an annual art conference.

XQC, SPEED... these well-known Internet celebrities open live broadcast rooms, and it is not surprising that tens of thousands of people can be online at the same time.

However, when placed in the unpopular live broadcast field of art, it is already a considerable number.

exactly.

For a seminar that is academically significant but relatively serious and boring, 2.2 people are watching it on Tiktok alone.

The word "substantial" is not enough to describe the enthusiasm.

It was as if a huge crowd had crowded into a slow-paced themed cafe with a melancholic and youthful temperament.

The number of people was simply unbelievable.

There are no fireworks displays, no sexy girls walking catwalks on the catwalk, no Cirque du Soleil trainers riding lions through fire hoops, and no passionate games like the NBA or World Cup.

There are just a bunch of white-bearded artists with an average age of 62, speaking dryly into the microphone on the stage.

Whether it's important or not is one thing, but whether it's boring or not is another.

Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is also very important, even familiar and known to everyone.

But except for some fans of hard-core physics history, who would be willing to take out the original manuscript of his paper "The Inertia of an Object Depends on Its Energy Content" published in 1916 and read it from cover to cover?

At this moment.

Tens of thousands of extremely hard-core art lovers from five continents poured into the small live broadcast room, preparing to listen to the important speeches of the great painters.

Considering the time difference, this is even more miraculous.

Gu Weijing can leisurely fry chicken wings, make pot stickers, and leisurely watch the live broadcast while holding a drink.

But in many places in North America.

It's early morning before the sun rises, or even dark midnight.

The annual academic conference held by Glitz still exudes an irresistible charm, causing hundreds of international friends to crawl out of bed early, and even stay up all night, with dark circles under their eyes, and stay on the computer on time before the screen.

"It's so lively."

Gu Weijing looked at the comment area, scrolling through the messages from netizens, and sighed.

Different languages ​​from all over the world come together, and the page updates so fast that you don’t even have time to notice what everyone is saying.

He didn't know.

This session is just the opening moment.

In the entire history of the European Art Annual Conference, it has been like the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games in the entire history of the Olympic Games, setting multiple historical records in the number of viewers and the degree of attention.

"Do you want to jump over and watch together?"

Gu Weijing finished eating the rice dumplings, turned up the volume on his iPad, opened his arms, and asked Awang who was sitting on the chair next to him.

Awang burped a little, tilted his head and glanced at Gu Weijing.

Okay, okay, now that I have eaten your snacks, I will give you a hug.

So clingy.

But who makes Awang so cute?

She is naturally beautiful, and she cannot live without you. There is nothing she can do about it.

With a kick of his paw, Awang stuck into Gu Weijing's arms like a little pig.

She arched her buttocks in his arms and found a comfortable position. She made a gurgling sound in her throat, signaling Xiao Guzi to serve her quickly.

Gu Weijing smiled and scratched Awang's soft chin with his fingertips. With something to relieve his boredom, he watched the live broadcast on the IPAD screen.

"Hello everyone! Thank you. Thank you. I am very happy to stand here today and participate in the annual European Art Annual Conference. I am also very happy to see so many people in the audience who influence the aesthetic development of our era and influence people. The faces of great artists who approach today’s diverse society from different perspectives.”

"It is an honor for me to stand with these epoch-making masters as the President of Austria."

“But before that, I would also like to thank all the staff and volunteers present at the New Art Center, all the police and government employees who provided services for this annual meeting, and the citizens of the entire city of Gleze. Without your excellent organization and Arrangement, without all the incredible things that surround me.”

"Please give yourselves a warm round of applause."

The director of the New Art Center, who is also the host of the conference, has already handed the microphone to the guests who gave the opening speech.

That was a little gentleman in formal attire with silver hair, who was also the head of state of the entire Austria.

His Typhoon is very good.

Of course, speech is a basic skill for politicians. It would be surprising if a person who has reached his position is not good at typhoon.

After a brief round of applause.

He continued to lower his head and said.

"The canton of Grez is the venue for this annual meeting and the hometown of Schubert. This year is a very unusual year for our entire country. As many people know, Austria's oldest artistic The magazine "Oil Painting" has welcomed the infusion of new blood. The distinguished Miss Irina and Sir Brown will also give joint speeches at this venue..."

With the president's deep, powerful voice.

The entire venue became quiet, and even the speed of netizens' comments in the comment area of ​​the live broadcast room slowed down.

Gu Weijing listened attentively.

The President of Austria is a seasoned politician, and seasoned politicians in Europe actually all speak in the same way, speaking calmly and without revealing anything.

It sounds very comfortable and makes most people feel good about it.

But to say that it is particularly nutritious is actually not necessarily the case.

This is not the time for heated campaigns and policy debates.

It's more like the classic scene in the BBC drama "Yes Prime Minister" when Prime Minister Harker delivers a speech at the British Theater National Dinner.

The president came here to show his face, as an art lover, to brush up the favorability of literary and artistic people and high-level intellectuals.

Of course, if there is any obvious tendency in the speech, what is needed is a golden mean.

Anyway.

His presence represented nothing but official support from Austria.

No one cares what profound insights he has to say about art itself.

The real highlight within the art circle is yet to come.

Gu Weijing yawned slightly.

I was petting the cat there and preparing to wait for the last moment when Mr. Cao came on stage to give a speech.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

The opening speech sounded the same to a humble citizen like Gu Weijing.

When it fell into the venue of the New Art Center, it had another meaning in the ears of those high-end people in the front row who really knew the business.

On a seat near the aisle at the venue, a dog was looking coldly at the old man who was delivering the opening speech, and scratched its chin unhappily with its hind legs.

August raised his head towards the rostrum, subconsciously continuing to show his teeth.

Secretary Elliot, who was holding it, patted its head and whispered comforting words to calm it down.

Theoretically, dogs are definitely not allowed during security check in this situation.

However, this is just like the e-cigarette hanging around Hunter Bull's neck, which is also strictly prohibited, a special deal for important people.

VIP channel management is not strict.

Besides, Miss Elena's big dog is quite famous in Glitz, even the leaders can see it. The New Art Center specially made an identity card for August as a guest of the conference, and also prepared a chair for him.

Secretary Elliot took out a tennis ball from his pocket and stuffed it into the dog's mouth, letting it chew and play with it.

He looked up at the rostrum worriedly.

The fact that the lady had dinner with the president last night was no secret in Glitz, where reporters are everywhere.

No need to keep it secret either.

Being able to have dinner with the head of state is not a small piece of good news for the current precarious situation of the Elena family, and it is reported.

but.

Eliot knew it.

No matter where he was in the steakhouse, no matter how hard he tried, August glared at the president and grinned.

Nothing could change the outcome of their plan being frustrated and returning in vain at the dinner party.

The President was very polite and very direct in stating that Kruger Brothers Bank's acquisition of National Publishing Group's shares was a purely commercial act, and the relevant regulations of the antitrust law did not apply.

From a personal perspective, he expressed understanding and sympathy for Anna.

From a national perspective, he will choose to respect the free market.

It is inconvenient to request a re-examination of the legality of this business acquisition.

"Whether you accept it or not, I think this matter must come to an end. On the bright side, you are still the largest private shareholder of "Oil Painting" magazine. If you feel that your share rights have been violated , I’m happy to help, but otherwise, Anna, you should move on.”

This was the president's final official reply.

Elliot knew very well that she shouldn't expect too much from this kind of thing.

But I still couldn't hide my disappointment in my heart.

In front of the "Oil Painting" building, organize a parade and walk, etc. These are just temporary solutions, not the root cause, and disgusting Sir Brown's trails.

Official government intervention is the only way they can think of to reverse the situation.

just now.

The last effort was in vain, and Secretary Elliot felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

In the opening speech, although the president's attitude towards the Elena family was still very kind, the first thing he said in his speech was to welcome the arrival of new blood. This was undoubtedly expressing an official power to all the audience. I will not take part in the internal struggle of "Oil Painting".

The last boot lands completely.

Many of the guests attending the meeting were completely relieved.

Many people who heard the mystery behind the words cast their curious eyes towards the first row of the venue.

Even the photographer gave a close-up of the picture that lasted only two seconds, but was already meaningful enough.

Chairman Brown, who is energetic and has a very stylish goatee, does not have the arrogance of a winner. He is completely a handsome and well-educated old gentleman.

Over seventy, he is still gentle and charming.

He sat on the chair and stared quietly at the rostrum. His eyes were as deep as if he had stepped out of the frame of the famous "Pope Innocent X" portrait created by Spanish painter Velázquez. .

Sitting next to Sir Brown is Anna who looks like she stepped out of the frame of "Sissi in the Palace".

Miss Elena is still so beautiful today, and there is no trace of the frustration of a loser on her face.

Between shots.

I don't know if it was intentional.

Sir Brown turned his head and patted Anna's arm kindly, and Anna responded with a faint smile.

People who don’t know the inside story.

One would definitely mistakenly think that these two people are an enviable father and daughter, rather than some equally powerful political enemies.

In front of the camera.

Both parties showed excellent self-cultivation and tolerance.

As for the sweetness and sourness deep inside, only the two of them know it.

Most of the guests at the venue really didn't think that the conflict between Miss Elena and Chairman Brown was so irreconcilable.

Anna was expelled from the board of directors, and the Elena family lost its influence in the art field. However, as long as Anna didn't want to sell the real money shares, no one could force her to sell them.

Until now.

She remains the largest private shareholder of Oil Painting.

If "Oil Painting" is bound to take off, then Sir Brown will definitely gain supreme power. In terms of personal financial gain, it may actually be Anna.

therefore.

From the beginning to the end of this incident, many onlookers sympathetically regarded Sir Brown as an ambitious figure like the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck.

Anna?

Of course she is the one who plays the role of the incompetent and jealous William II, who wants to seize power from the conscientious prime minister based on his bloodline and drag everyone into the quagmire, the unpopular character.

Among the last kings of the European powers, William II should be the one with the lowest public opinion.

It is probably equivalent to the status of Adou who killed Zhuge Liang in the hearts of the people.

Many scholars will blame Germany's failure and even the outbreak of World War I on Wilhelm II's dismissal of Bismarck and the change in his foreign policy.

It is no coincidence.

Miss Irene and William II were both born with disabilities.

It seems to be a metaphorical judgment made by history.

Fortunately,

This time, Sir Brown's hand was strong enough. He directly removed the name of the second generation ancestor and Elena from the board of directors. He made the magazine's leadership layer from top to bottom like a solid iron plate, which could no longer be used. Block his drastic reforms.

He is worthy of his reputation as the "Pope of Art".

From beginning to end.

There are many onlookers who think Anna is the kind of green tea bitch who wants to be a bitch, but also wants to build a memorial arch, and even makes a lot of money and acts like a monster.

The president's opening speech was short and he walked off the podium amidst applause.

The artistic figures who nominally spoke at the opening ceremony of this annual meeting are not ranked according to the order of appearance. Every guest who speaks is important.

In fact, like many formal occasions, the person at the front and the back, the closer to the stage, the higher the social status in the art field.

This is a rather bizarre scene.

At this European Art Annual Conference, except for the president who gave the opening speech, the first and main guests were not “European”.

The last guest to appear was Cao Xuan.

Now on the stage is an American, Larry Gagosian.

"Gagosian Gallery will join the '2023 New Era Muse Project' organized by Oil Painting magazine and become a partner of the project."

Gagosian had just appeared on the scene, and his first line had a sensational effect.
