National Treasure Artist

Chapter 50 God's Handwriting (Please recommend for collection)

At the Elysee Palace, President Mitterrand held a press conference.

During the meeting, Mitterrand signed a contract with Bai Gongtong on behalf of the French government, and announced that Bai Gongtong will be in charge of the Grand Louvre project and will be the chief designer of the Louvre expansion project with the highest authority.

Mitterrand claimed that he will gather the best French design firms and studios, let the famous French star designer be the assistant of Davidia involucrata, build a team with Davidia involucrata as the core, and complete the entire expansion project.

At the press conference, Gongtong wore a hand-stitched suit. Under countless spotlights, she looked confident and calm, as if she had reached the pinnacle of her life.

"What should I say when we meet?"

"Ms. Xu?"

"No, no, this seems too serious, and it makes all the girls old."

The young hero at the press conference now appeared at the gate of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, wearing a black coat and carrying a painting bag behind his back.

It is the most common appearance of a student entering and leaving the Paris Academy of Fine Arts.

Gongtong frowned slightly, paused in front of the school gate, and then walked in: "How about Miss Xu?"

"No, no, I'm asking for help, so it seems a little distant."

Davidia involucrata is tall, her facial features are slightly handsome but not particularly outstanding, and she has not been recognized by anyone along the way.

"It's really troublesome."

"Why is there such a dinner party, and it is said to celebrate the birth of the glass pyramid!"

Gongtong muttered, looking across the campus.

The buildings that the sight sweeps are all very old, and most of them are in the classical style.

The composition of the building is very rigorous, mostly three-stage.

The classical column style and mountain flowers are very delicate.

The full name of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts is the National Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. It is one of the four major art schools in the world. It has a history of 300 years and has witnessed the development of the entire European art.

In a sense, the Paris Academy of Fine Arts has long existed not only as a national institution for education, exhibition and communication, but also as an artistic and cultural heritage of France and even Europe as a whole.

The oil painting masters of the older generation in China, Xu Beihong, Wu Guanzhong, and Pan Yuliang all graduated from here.

"Let's just have a dinner party, and ask for a companion."

"Don't take it, say you don't respect the master, really."

Gongtong only took a rough look around, and then began to mutter again, very entangled: "Where do I know a girl in Paris!"

"I can't bring a man with me, but I can't find a man either."

At this time, Davidia involucrata still has the self-confidence and majesty when he was in charge of the Grand Louvre project. Looking at this appearance, isn't he just a young man who is worried about not being able to find a girlfriend!

"How about calling her Miss Banxia?"

"I've only met a few times, and we can't talk more than five sentences. Does it seem a little frivolous?"

"Hey, never mind, never mind, just shout like that!"

As if to cheer herself up, Gongtong raised her head and clenched her fists: "When the time comes, I will say that I am here to return the drawing board..."

"Well, then I will use this and the last time to say that I want to thank Miss Banxia."

"Since we want to thank you, isn't it too much to have a meal together?"

"After eating, my stomach is slightly swollen, and my mind is generally a little confused"

"At this time, invite her to be your female companion!"

One routine, another routine, was figured out by Gongtong: "This is not going to happen!"

Consciously fulfilling the important task on her mind, Gong Tong showed a smile on her face.

He thought that this dinner was an ordinary dinner for European high society, but he didn't know that after receiving Mitterrand's invitation letter, the dignitaries frowned, twitched their mouths, and cursed.

"No, I don't know which building Miss Banxia is teaching now!"

At this time, Gongtong was a little belated, slapped his forehead, and smiled wryly.

"Anyway, there's still plenty of time, let's go shopping first, and when you meet someone, ask."

Passing by the Architecture Department of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, Gongtong stopped, thinking about going in to have a look.

The Paris Academy of Fine Arts system is called the Buza system, which is one of the current education systems in the architectural field.

Originated in the period of Louis XIV, it is a system jointly promoted by masters such as Michelangelo and Da Vinci.

Very old and very valuable.

There seemed to be no one in the building of the old Department of Architecture. Gongtong wandered around for a long time, admiring the works of many students, but she didn't meet anyone.

But when he passed the corner, he suddenly heard a loud voice.

"This is an amazing piece of work!"

Gongtong stopped, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

"Huh!"

After walking a few steps, I found that the huge classroom in front of me was crowded and densely packed.

Not to mention sitting down, there is almost no place to stand in the classroom.

In front of the classroom, an old man with a gray beard stood. He seemed to be analyzing something, his face was rosy, and he seemed a little excited.

"People are running here."

They barely squeezed a space at the back door, the distance was too far, even the old man's face could not be seen clearly.

"Hey buddy, why are you all here?"

Gongtong patted a student beside her and asked softly.

"You don't even know Professor Ravel, do you?"

The student looked contemptuously, glanced at Davidia Davidson, and felt that this must be a wealthy second generation of the East who is not doing business properly: "Professor Ravel is not well-known in the world, but he is very respected in the industry!"

"He is a research scholar with a very high awareness of the attainments of art and architecture."

"The professor will give a lecture every month, and every time it will attract many people to listen to the lecture!"

As soon as Gongtong heard it, she understood that this was an academic scholar who respected the elderly.

These kind of professors who take the academic path are very remarkable, they are willing to remain unknown, devote themselves to learning, and often rely on these scholars to promote the development of art.

"The glass pyramid designed by Dave Tong Bai is not only stunning in shape!"

At this time, only the old professor in front of the classroom said solemnly: "In terms of contact with the environment and communication with the entire city of Paris, the glass pyramid can also amaze the world!"

"It is a blessing for us French that such a plan can be selected for the Grand Louvre project!"

"pyramid?"

Gongtong heard the words, exhaled softly, and her face became more and more interested.

"I said, can you be quiet and listen to the professor's lecture!"

"If you don't want to hear it, go out!"

The student heard Gongtong's muttering, frowned and reprimanded her.

Gongtong expressed apology and kept nodding: "Sorry, sorry"

"When the Louvre glass pyramid is completed, the central axis of the city of Paris will be reconstructed!"

The professor looked solemn and said solemnly.

His words sounded, and behind him, an aerial picture of the city of Paris appeared.

In the center of the aerial photo, you can see red circles, and the Louvre Pyramid is surrounded by circles. There is a red line connecting the red circles. It is surprising to find that the red line crosses the city of Paris and divides the city of Paris into two almost equal parts. , is the central axis!
What European classicism pays attention to is symmetry, which is called the beauty of symmetry, the beauty of rationality!

If Parisians still have the last bit of dissatisfaction with the glass pyramid, it must be the gap between modernism and classicism. The pyramid is too modern after all, and the older generation still lacks a sense of identity!

But after looking at this picture, who would dare to say that?
Davidia involucrata knows Europe and Paris too well!

When they paid attention to the local area, the designers of Davidia involucrata had already overlooked the whole city, taking the whole city as the volume, and started to figure out the rational and symmetrical beauty of this classicism!

This can simply be called the handwriting of God!

Except God, who can use the earth as a chessboard and buildings as chess pieces to make them land on the right place accurately?

When the students in the room saw this, their eyes widened, their hearts were filled with shock, and they exclaimed in disbelief.

"Everyone stands at this angle and looks west."

"You can find that the semicircular arch just frames the glass pyramid designed by Mr. Davidia involucrata in the distance."

"Then past the equestrian statue of Louis XIV."

"Crossing the small Arc de Triomphe, in front of us is the most classic Tuileries Garden in France."

Professor Ravel seemed to be amazed by the glass pyramid, and his tone became louder: "Further from the garden is the Place de la Concorde and the Obelisk!"

"Extend along the Champs Elysees all the way to the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the axis."

Every time the professor reported a place, a corresponding picture would appear behind him, and he said loudly, "This main line will become the new axis of Paris in the not-too-distant future!"

"A coincidence?"

"Is this a coincidence? The pyramid reflects the sky of Paris, changing every moment, which is already intoxicating!"

"If it's true, then Designer Gongtong Bai is even more talented than we imagined!"

"If it wasn't for Professor Ravel, I wouldn't have known this at all, but if it was a coincidence, it would be too lucky, and the distance is not even a single centimetre away."

In the classroom, the students were shocked and discussed in low voices.

Gongtong listened, but nodded slightly, unexpectedly, someone would discover this so soon.

This is another amazing place of the pyramid.

Old Professor Ravel, indeed has a level!
