National Treasure Artist

Chapter 7 Resisted by the French (recommended for collection)

The Louvre is located on the banks of the Seine in the center of Paris, known as the 'Palace of all treasures'.

Treasures familiar to ordinary people, world-famous works of art such as 'Mona Lisa's Smile', 'Goddess of Victory', 'Broken Arm Venus' are all hidden in it.

However, the numerous treasures make many people often ignore this prestigious super museum itself, and people forget that it is an ancient and beautiful art masterpiece!

Together with the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Winter Palace in Russia, it is known as the world's four major museums!
However, due to the disrepair of the Louvre in recent years, the outdated equipment cannot reach the level it had in the past.

On January 2001, 01, the French government announced a large-scale renewal plan for the Louvre, which is the 'Great Louvre Project'.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the world's architectural circles. The world's first-class architects are all eager to try, and everyone is willing to be the designer of the "Great Louvre Project".

The Louvre is a national treasure of France, and France is the nation with the most artistic taste in the world.

At that time, master Bai Gongtong, a national treasure-level artist, had just emerged. He encountered the most vigorous boycott in his life in Paris, France, and even occupied nearly [-]% of the crowd in Paris!

The glass pyramid, the most romantic classic building in the 21st century, the French landmark building is in danger of being eliminated!
In later generations, the British BBC documentary recorded the life of the national treasure artist Bai Gongtong, and there is such a description in it.
-
On the second day after the selection plan was announced, Baimu went out very early in the morning.

Carrying a vegetable basket and humming a little tune, on the way back, the little old lady stopped suddenly in front of a newsstand.

Her eyes quickly scanned the newspapers, and she didn't know what she saw, but the corners of her mouth curled up.

She couldn't hide the smile on her face, she saw Baimu asked loudly to the master who was reading the newspaper in the kiosk:

"Master, was there any big news yesterday?"

"I'm going to buy two newspapers and show them to my old man!"

The master in the newsstand looked about sixty years old, wearing a pair of reading glasses, stopped after hearing the words, looked at Bai Mu and responded repeatedly:

"No, look at this."

With that said, the old man threw the newspaper in front of Bai Mu.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper was impressively printed with a big bold line:

First is the headline: "The selected proposals for the Grand Louvre Project are announced!" "

Immediately following the subtitle: "China Young Designer Leader Bai Gongtong Designer Becomes the Biggest Dark Horse!" "

Looking at the words 'Young Designer Leader', 'Bai Gongtong', 'Dark Horse' and other words, the smile that had just faded on Bai Mu's face could not be stopped again.

She was extremely proud, and there was nothing he could be more proud of than his son's future.

"Let me tell you, this young man is amazing, that's the Louvre!" The master's tone suddenly raised, while giving a thumbs up, he continued:
"You know the Louvre, right? In the hearts of Parisians and French people, that status is at the same level as Tiananmen Square in our hearts!"

The newsstand master repeatedly sighed: "It's really amazing, amazing."

"If this young man can really get the qualification to design the Louvre, it will really make us Chinese look good!"

"Hey, foreign 'Tiananmen', made in China!"

Every word of the master master spoke to the bottom of Baimu's heart, and it would be too shallow to describe the latter's mood as exuberant!

"Master, here, here, here." I saw that Bai Mu pointed at seven or eight newspapers with her hands: "There are also here, I want all these!"

China Youth Daily, "Young Chinese designers beat [-] masters, the Louvre plans to advance!" "

The Beijing News, "A dark horse in the Grand Louvre project, can it go to the end?" "

Southern Weekly, "Amazing!There is still a dream, what if it comes true? "

Beijing Daily, "Turning the Impossible into Possible, Giants Can Conquer, Young Designer Leader - Bai Gongtong! "

Under the surprised eyes of the newsstand master, Bai Mu paid the money and hugged the newspapers in her arms.

Just as she was about to leave, Mother Bai stopped suddenly, turned her head to look at the master and smiled slightly, pointing to a newspaper with three big characters of Bai Gongtong, and said loudly: "Master, this is my son!"

After speaking, he left contentedly.

Just so proud!That's how willful it is!
On the other hand, in Bai Gongtong's small single apartment, Bai's father is not as exaggerated as Bai's mother shows.

In comparison, my father was boring... no, he was deep, calm, and calm.

It's just that Bai's father, who doesn't use the computer very much, occupied Davidia's computer early in the morning.

Quietly type the words 'Bai Gongtong' on the search page with one finger Zen.

'crash la la'

'Find about 1 relevant results for you! '

When he saw the exclamation, that inconceivable, that admiration and other words, his calm face immediately couldn't hold back.

In ten years, no one asked him, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

It couldn't be more appropriate to use such a poem to describe Davidia involucrata.

Whether it's paper media, online media, or major dating platforms, almost everywhere there are people talking about the Louvre and the designer who counterattacked overnight.

It's too popular, Davidia involucrata is too popular now, in the streets and alleys, there are no girls or daughters-in-law who don't know: "A Chinese designer is going to grab the design authority of Tiananmen from a foreign country."

Major media even crowned him the title of 'Young Designer Leader'.

Be coveted by everyone!

At noon, Father Bai and Gong Tong sat at the dining table.

Braised Chicken Nuggets
Sweet and Sour Fish

Hot and Sour Potato Shreds

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes
Cola Chicken Wings
The table was filled with home-cooked dishes.

"Here we come, here we come, the last crucian carp tofu soup!"

Baimu was wearing an apron, holding a pot of hot soup, and shouted loudly as she walked.

Two bottles of Tsingtao beer on the dining table were opened early, and the glasses were filled!

"What are you looking at, don't put your phone away!"

Sitting down, Bai Mu saw her husband still fiddled with his mobile phone with his head down, frowned, and immediately feigned anger: "What can be more important than celebrating your son?"

Gongtong smiled and wanted to help her father out.

But at this moment, Father Bai's face gradually sank.

Seeing her father's reaction, the two of Gong Tong's hearts suddenly had a synapse, knowing that something had happened.

He stopped and looked at Father Bai.

"Son, Lao Fang, look at this, is it true?"

Bai's father had a serious expression on his face. He turned the phone face up and handed it to Davidia involucrata and Bai's mother who were stretching their heads:
"I found this in a forum discussing the expansion of the Louvre!"

"The post said that it was posted by an international student in Paris, France. He said that Davidia involucrata is being boycotted by the French people, and the scale of the boycott is very serious."

Gongtong and Bai's mother looked at the post, and Bai's father continued to speak with a solemn expression.

"The vast majority of mainstream media in France are involved behind it, and there are media that are promoting it."

Father Bai said, Gong Tong and the others also noticed the photo taken by the foreign student with his mobile phone.

Le Monde

"French Press Agency"

Le Figaro

"European Times"

Soir de France

The Parisian

The photos include several of France's largest newspapers.

These newspapers all have a similar content:
The black photo, the content of the photo is the A2 hand-drawn painting submitted by Davidia involucrata.

The photos take up a very large page and have a strong sense of irony.

Next to the photo, there is English: 'Areyoukiddingme? '

'Damn, are you kidding me? '

"These newspapers have successfully incited the anger of the French." Father Bai said: "The French will never allow a modernist glass object to be built in the palace courtyard with a history of 800 years."

"These guys are stubborn and deeply proud of their heritage."

"The international student also said that in the Western world, the people have the full right to influence the government's decision-making. That is to say, according to the current situation, no matter what happens in the second round of selection, our son will not be able to obtain the design qualification."

"In some of the surrounding underground casinos, gambling games have already been opened. Among the thirteen plans, our son's glass pyramid has the highest odds of winning the final design right, and now it seems to be adjusted a lot!"

Father Bai's voice was heavy, and he looked at Gongtong with a serious expression: "According to the current situation, I'm a little worried about letting you go to Paris alone the day after tomorrow to participate in the second round of selection."

"In case there are any extremists."

The glass pyramid plan received the most attention due to the most people resisting it, and even surpassed Baron Williams of WinWin Architects for a time.
