Chapter 8 I will not vote for you! (seeking collection recommendation)

"Davidia involucrata."

"If it's just this level, I don't think I can vote for you with my vote."

"I'm responsible for the Louvre!"

"Even, I bet you will be eliminated in the second round."

Air France, on the flight to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in a gray coat clapped a newspaper with the hand-painted scheme of Davidia involucrata for the Louvre, and said.

But this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man actually has a very unusual identity. He is the head and director of the Palace Museum of China, Mr. Zhang Zhongpei.

The destinations of the two trips are the same, except that one is a candidate, and the other will serve as a judge for the second round of the "Great Louvre Project".

What happened, but it was going back to 10 minutes ago.

After boarding the plane, Gongtong asked the flight attendant for the latest issue of Le Monde.

The largest page of the French newspaper Le Monde reported the bold and bold words of "The Grand Louvre Project, the second round of the jury list".

According to the report, in order to respond to the French people’s doubts about the fairness of project bidding, President Mitterrand personally invited [-] museum curators with outstanding reputations in the world to join the jury!

These fifteen directors are incredible, respectively at the helm of the Louvre Museum, the Egyptian Museum, the Hermitage, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of America, the Vatican Museum, the Rijksmuseum, and the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History in Germany.
And the Palace Museum of China!

They can be said to be the top fifteen museums in the world with the most influence, the longest history, the richest collections and the highest value.

As the curator at the helm, his status and prestige are indescribable in words.

As soon as Le Monde reported it, the whole world was in an uproar, because people didn't think the French president had such great ability!
In the same way, the composition of such a jury makes the selection of the Louvre expansion project so high that it is rare in history.

Voices of doubt, protest, and boycott immediately disappeared with the release of Le Monde.

Because the masses believe that these curators will never let a palace with a long history be destroyed by modern glass buildings!

They will fairly select a proposal that is truly suitable for the Louvre.

Gongtong looked at the newspaper carefully, and under the news, there were brief introductions of fifteen curators.

And when Davidia Davidson visited China, the director of the Palace Museum, she frowned suddenly.

Looking at that small photo, he suddenly felt a little familiar, until he raised his head and glanced at a figure on the opposite side of the seat inadvertently.

Gongtong shivered suddenly, glanced at the photo in the newspaper, and then at the middle-aged man opposite.

But in fact, the person seated opposite recognized Davidia Davidia early on, and looked at the latter with a smile.

"Davidia involucrata."

"If it's just to that extent, I don't think I can vote for you with my vote."

"I'm responsible for the Louvre!"

"Even, I bet you will be eliminated in the second round."

Zhang Zhongpei put away his smile, and said to Gongtong seriously.

The tone was never tactful at all, and she said it directly to Gongtong.

Gong Tong was stunned when she heard the words, and looked at Dean Zhang in puzzlement.

'Just like that, what do you mean? '

"In fact, I admire you very much, your talent is too outstanding and dazzling!"

Zhang Zhongpei didn't directly answer Gong Tong's doubts, but when the conversation changed, he began to praise the latter: "When I saw your plan, I seemed to see a genius designer with unconstrained ideas."

"I think this is also the reason why the judges of Master Miller passed your proposal and entered the second round."

I only heard Zhang Zhongpei continue to say: "Your design style and the use of glass are the first in the world, and no other designer has used it like this so far!"

"You set a precedent."

Davidia involucrata is indeed still young, and it is impossible to be sad and happy without external things.

Ordinary people praised him for his ability to be normal, but the one on the other side was too far away from ordinary people.

He has too many auras, not to mention that he has not yet obtained the design right of the Louvre, even if he has obtained it, he is far from qualified to be arrogant in front of others.

Dean of the Palace Museum, Vice Minister of Culture, Senior Architect, Professor of the School of Cultural Heritage, Doctor of Engineering, Doctoral Supervisor
Hearing Daniel's praise, the corners of Gongtong's mouth couldn't help but raised, feeling a little secretly refreshed and proud.

The change of Davidia involucrata was noticed by Zhang Zhong and the accompanying dean.

He only heard that he changed the subject again and turned into a merciless reprimand: "It's a pity, Davidia involucrata."

"You lose because you are young!"

"You lose because of your impetuousness after becoming famous!"

"You lose in the details!"

Unabashed praise followed by harsh criticism.

Davidia involucrata's complexion froze suddenly.

"Gongtong, so far, your plan can only be said to be due to that moment of inspiration. I can't see any deeper deliberations in it. In fact, I don't think you have made any plans for the second round of selection. Improve."

Zhang Zhongpei looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "It's like a poem from our ancestors, 'Articles are naturally made, and skillful hands can get them occasionally.'"

"The key point of this poem is the word 'even', which means by chance!"

"Your talent is very good, I don't want it to be just a flash in the pan."

This is to say that his plan is only based on luck. Hearing this merciless criticism, Gongtong's face can't help but become a little ugly.

Frowning, his eyes fell on the newspaper next to Zhang Zhongpei's hand, looking at the paintings he had hand-painted.

At first, Gongtong sneered at Zhang Zhongpei's evaluation of the glass pyramid, and secretly cursed: "Another idiot whose fame and honor are far higher than ability!" '

'What do you know?This is another work of the world's top master! '

'What do you know?This is the most classic and romantic French landmark building rated by another world. '

'Damn you, what do you know?You are talking nonsense! '

But when Davidia involucrata continued to stare at the picture, his pupils shrank suddenly. Before that, he felt that the dazzling and perfect glass pyramid seemed to have some flaws. The flaws came from the disharmony between the glass pyramid and the ancient palace 800 years ago.

Just like the protests of the French people, why do you build a glass pyramid with a bunch of modern things next to the ancient palace 800 years ago?

"how is this possible!"

A look of shock appeared on Gong Tong's face.

He found that the glass pyramids in his paintings really lacked details, lacked transitions!

On a square paved with simple bricks and stones, a glass pyramid suddenly stands up, and nothing else, how can it be perfect just like this?
After being awakened, the flaws that were not easy to find were quickly magnified.

It was once thought that the glass pyramid grew out of the brick and merged with the ancient palace, but now it seems to be a joke.

"Gongtong, if your plan is just like this." Zhang Zhong accompanied the dean to watch the changes in Gongtong, and finally nodded with a thoughtful expression, and then said:
"I bet you'll be eliminated in the second round!"

Gongtong nodded blankly, but her eyes still did not leave the hand-painted painting.

He tried hard to think about the memory of the glass pyramid and Master IM Pei in his mind.

He knew that it was impossible for the master to make such a low-level mistake.

Flipping through the memory, in-depth to understand.

"really!"

He was startled.

Sure enough, there was a deeper memory related to the glass pyramid, a memory he had never discovered before.

Davidia involucrata glowed with joy, ready to undo the final veil.

But immediately afterwards, he found that the last small part of memory was like a veil, no matter how hard he searched, he was always ashamed to refuse.

Gongtong's brows became tighter and tighter, and the hands on the legs became backhands and more and more forceful.

Thin sweat began to appear on his forehead.

No matter what, this last veil will never be lifted!

"Davidia involucrata."

Looking at the sweat on the forehead of the young man across from him, obviously in a dead corner of thinking, Zhang Zhongpei suddenly shouted.

"Have you ever been to the Louvre?"

His complexion turned pale, Gongtong looked at Zhang Zhongpei in confusion, only to hear the latter ask softly.

After his words fell, Gongtong's body trembled suddenly, and for a moment, he felt that the veil covering the glass pyramid in his mind had dissipated a little.

"Yeah, you do design, and you haven't even visited the field. What kind of design do you do?"

"Isn't that just talking on paper?"

Gongtong suddenly had a hunch that the final key was here!

Gongtong was a little vigilant, he reflected on himself, and suddenly found that after getting the adventure, he became complacent at some point or unknowingly.

Fortunately, I was mentioned today, otherwise it will be too late to regret!

Gongtong is a little afraid, now that he is still immature, he grows himself with the treasure in his mind, but it does not mean that he is willing to become a puppet of this memory.

Sooner or later, Davidia involucrata will merge another world with her own body and walk out of her own way.

There is not much time until the start of the selection, and even less than 72 hours after arriving in Paris, I wonder if Davidia involucrata will find the key in time?
　I am busy with the design of a residential area, and the update may be later in these two days.Finally, ask for a wave of favorites and recommendations!It's Monday, the editor-in-chief is going to work, try to get the editor-in-charge to like it!
