"Are you going to cause trouble for me again?"
Gu Weijing was a little unhappy when his reading was interrupted, so he asked patiently.
He also didn't understand.
Not in the same boat.
Classmate Xiaomiao made his fortune, and he painted his own paintings for Wei Jing. They didn't agree with each other, so why did they come here to provoke him?
"Uh... no no no, don't get me wrong."
The sinister smile on Miao Angwen's face disappeared immediately, and he took two steps back subconsciously out of reflex.
The revolver fired against his forehead still makes Miao Aung Win feel a biting chill spreading from his tailbone every time he thinks about it.
Brother Hao never understands what joking means.
In the underworld, the most important thing when joining the gang is credibility.
If he said he would kill the whole family, he would kill the whole family. If he dared to cause trouble to Gu Weijing next time, the next time there were bullets in the gun, the bullets would be shot out.
This can kill people.
calm!
As long as I don't physically cause him trouble, Brother Hao won't blame me.
"Gu Weijing, I saw the announcement on the campus brochure. Young artists under the age of 18 will indeed make you popular with girls in Dewei."
After adjusting his mood, Miao Angwen said playfully.
"But, the Yangon Painting Association is just a grassroots team for children to play house. It's not easy, but it's not worth raising its tail to the sky. It might not be difficult to trick a little girl into going to bed at Dulwich College, but if it's placed outside, In the eyes of serious large galleries, they simply look down upon it. This kind of grassroots calligraphy and painting organization with a rural flavor will probably be deducted."
"Besides, you can be selected into the Painting and Calligraphy Association. Part of it is your own true talent and learning, part of it is the luck of being able to paint with Mr. Cao Xuan, and part of it is the effect of various personal relationships and interests. , I’m afraid it’s really hard to say.”
Miao Angwen said angrily.
The local painting associations are not allowed to publish anything on a large scale.
It’s not that he can’t eat grapes and say they are sour now.
If it were not an accident, Myo Aung Win would soon be a formal member of the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association.
Praise the omnipotent Brother Hao!
Without Butcher Zhang, we would not be able to eat pigs with hair on them.
Facing Gu Weijing, who doesn't know how to praise.
Brother Hao seems to have begun to put the resources and material resources for calligraphy and painting hype on Miao Angwen, a "substitute" product.
Joining the Yangon Painting Association was just a stepping stone for his brilliant career.
His goal is Myanmar’s National Artists Association – and that precious national team spot leading to the Venice International Biennale!
Myo Aung Win’s former idol in life was Damien Hirst.
The master of self-marketing and the god of hype, from time to time he likes to make big news in the public eye of the media to attract attention.
In terms of expressiveness and basic brush skills, Uncle Sakai alone can beat three Hirsts.
But people can rely on all kinds of attention-grabbing news to sell their works for more money than Cao Xuan.
Miao Aung Win’s idol in life today is of course Brother Hao.
same age,
Hearst has not been out of youth prison for long, and Myo Aung Win has already started to consider participating in next year's Venice Art Exhibition under Brother Hao's promotion.
Matisse could only participate in the exhibition when he was 60 years old, Picasso was 67 when he first participated in the exhibition, and Yayoi Kusama was 87 years old before she got the opportunity to participate in the Venice Art Exhibition.
The national pavilion of a small Southeast Asian country, no matter how pretentious it is, a contestant who is only 18 years old can easily set off a discussion in the global art media.
Even the famous "Oil Painting" magazine will be willing to follow him and give him an exclusive interview on the front page.
A national treasure artist from Southeast Asia and the youngest young painter to participate in the Venice Biennale in history.
With these solid resume endorsements, and the large amount of money under Brother Hao to promote him in the art market outside the competition, Miao Aung Win's worth will rise like a supernova explosion.
When the time comes, Gu Weijing will be nothing in front of him!
It's simply a difference in life level.
"It's really a bit emotional. After following Brother Hao, I realized how big the world is."
Miao Ang looked at Gu Weijing warmly, and he chuckled and said: "Gu Weijing, you really don't think that an endorsement from the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association is anything special. We people want to go far on the road of art. Being able to sign a contract with a gallery is the last word.”
Myo Aung Win joined the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association not through personal connections, but through an unprecedented contract to represent a transnational artist in Yangon in the past five years.
How much of today’s multi-trillion-dollar art market is a speculative bubble driven by money-laundering black hands?
No one can explain this problem clearly.
But as the saying goes, the more you are criticized for something, the more you have to cover up something.
No one cares about how to speculate in secondary markets like auctions, how to raise prices, or how to fabricate high-priced transactions in the financial system.
But those big galleries often take great care of feathers.
Many galleries today are family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
Before the rise of the modern gallery industry, many gallery owners’ grandfathers and great-grandfathers were famous art supplies dealers in Europe.
These Old Money groups like to make more hot money by taking advantage of the overall upward trend of the art market.
But let them jump into the quagmire and earn dirty money that will destroy years of credibility. Even if they put a pistol to someone's head, they won't do it.
The gallery sign is more important than anything else.
It's hardly news that auction companies have been involved in money laundering lawsuits.
And once the source gallery gets involved, it will be a serious scandal.
For a gallery that has been nailed to the pillar of shame, no matter how many years of reputation you have accumulated in the past, you will never be able to turn it around.
The money laundering case of the Venetian Gallery in New York in 2019, and the money laundering case of the Soderne Gallery in London in 2017. As a result, two thriving modern galleries worth millions of dollars disappeared directly from the art market without even making a splash.
Brother Hao doesn’t know how much hidden resources and funds were spent.
He actually helped Miao Ang Win clear the relationship with the "(Three-dimensional Universe)" Modern Art Center in Seoul, South Korea.
This is incredible!
With the rise of the Dansaekhwa School, Seoul is well-known as a hotbed of modern art in Asia.
It may be a bit difficult for 3D Universe Gallery to rank in the top ten in Seoul, but it shouldn’t be a big problem to rank in the top fifteen.
Internationally speaking, it is a large gallery that can barely rank among the second tier in Asia.
The asset size alone exceeds 6 billion won, which is larger than Canavini and Soden Gallery.
An agency contract with a major Korean gallery is much more valuable than a resume like painting with a master who knows how much water is in it.
Don’t underestimate the power of foreigners’ credibility endorsements.
Myanmar’s only internationally renowned national treasure artist, Vice President Lai of the National Artists Association, is signed by a second-tier French gallery.
In terms of influence in the art field, it is on par with [3D Universe] Gallery. Judging from the galleries he has joined, Myo Aung Win is already at the top of the list in Southeast Asia.
There is absolutely no possibility that the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association will reject this application letter.
Even with this endorsement of the credibility of a large foreign gallery and Brother Hao's use of some tricks, it is logical to join the National Artists Association.
"Yeah, everything you said is right. Is there anything else?"
Facing the provocation in Miao Angwen's tone, Gu Weijing replied expressionlessly.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Miao Angwen raised his eyebrows.
A formal member of the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association, this should be the most boastful achievement Gu Weijing has achieved so far in his mind.
No matter how much luck is involved, it's really a big deal in the student field.
He imagined that when faced with his sarcastic remarks, the other party would definitely jump up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
after all,
Whose biggest pretense relies on being belittled by others as being worthless and not getting angry.
Miao Angwen just smiled and said nothing.
After a while, his membership in the National Painting Association was approved, and the exposure made everyone realize that he, Miao Aung Win, was the real hidden great Bodhisattva in this school.
Gu Weijing's face must be very ugly.
As a result, I didn't expect this guy to be so cowardly that he agreed with his speech without following the script at all.
Instead, it was like he was punched in a pile of cotton, and he was a little at a loss.
"No. You didn't come here just to tell me this, right?"
Gu Weijing really didn't think there was anything wrong with what Miao Angwen said.
Grandpa Gu Tongxiang signed a contract with Ma Shi Gallery, but the gallery was too embarrassed to put his identity as a member of the Yangon Painting Association on the promotion page.
He was just very confused as to why Mr. Miao came over arrogantly and said such words in front of him.
The corners of Miao Angwen's mouth twitched twice.
"laugh!"
After a few seconds of silence, the dark-skinned local guy suddenly laughed.
"To be honest, Gu Weijing, I still admire you a little in my heart."
After seeing the real world of luxury and glamor in the Xihe Guild Hall, Miao Angwen looked back and discovered that Gu Weijing was really a super weirdo who could refuse Brother Hao's repeated invitations that could be called a polite corporal.
Brother Hao is also strange.
The mafia gangster, whose men were stained with unknown amounts of blood, showed great patience rarely seen in his life when faced with a young man who could be crushed to death with just one finger.
Brother Hao never seemed to be truly angry.
Every time he was rejected, he seemed to appreciate Gu Weijing more.
Miao Angwen accidentally heard Brother Hao mention Gu Weijing's name in front of his precious big fish tank.
The other party's tone was full of expectation and appreciation.
The godfather who controlled the shadow art empire faced Gu Weijing's life-threatening offense and just repeatedly lamented that this little guy was really "very artistic".
What the hell is "very artistic"?
Myo Aung Win didn’t know.
He only knew that Brother Hao's eyes at that time made him jealous.
Classmate Xiao Miao never dreamed that Brother Hao would have such a caring look on him.
It's like an illegitimate son who wants to prove to his father that he is better and more worthy of the important task than the legitimate son who the other party wants to cultivate.
Regrettably.
Brother Hao would wave to him and give him precious racing toys, a big gold watch, and a complete prom outfit that would make him the center of attention.
But the eyes that occasionally fell on Miao Angwen were always cold.
Probably the so-called "artistic" personality is the kind that he read in the ancient oriental stories when he was a child. You can kill me, but I am so damn pedantic that I will not drink the water from the stolen spring when I am thirsty, and the heat will not stop the evil tree.
Miao Angwen really couldn't learn this.
He is not as stupid as the other party, nor is he as...
Have courage.
So among the nine points of three points of jealousy, three points of ridicule, two points of fear, and one point of disdain - the last point is actually the admiration that Miao Aung Win himself doesn't want to admit.
If anyone in the world hopes that Gu Weijing can be so noble and noble the most.
Maybe it wasn't Gu Weijing himself, but classmate Miao Angwen.
The value of something like "substitution" can only be maximized when the best is not available.
Who can afford to wear clovers, who would be willing to take another look at King Adi?
What Miao Angwen feared most was that Gu Weijing really bowed his head and admitted defeat that day.
The resources that Brother Hao gave him must have been given to Gu Weijing by His Majesty the Godfather without even blinking an eyebrow.
That was Myo Aung Win’s hellish nightmare.
Life in the upper class world, once you live it for a second, you will never forget it for the rest of your life.
It is even more unacceptable for a frog that has seen the world to be thrown back into a deep well than to be made into a hot pot bullfrog.
"Brother, I know you look down on me, and it really doesn't matter to me. I am a hard-working person, and I will seize the opportunity when it comes to me. If you can never regret your choice for the rest of your life, you will be truly awesome. But Never live like the person you looked down upon before. Come on, I look up to you."
Miao Angwen rarely said something from his heart, and stretched out his hand to pat Gu Weijing's shoulder.
A hand holding a book blocked him.
"no."
Gu Weijing said expressionlessly.
Miao Angwen was not angry either.
He just laughed "ha" again, shrugged and turned around and walked towards the girl who was waiting for him next to him.
At this moment,
They were probably the two young students who had achieved the highest social status in the art world since the establishment of the Dulwich Education Group over a hundred years ago. When they parted, they were both scolding each other for being stupid.
"Sometimes he is mocking, and now he is admired. This guy must be crazy. Fortunately, Sakai Katsuko is no longer in contact with him in the improvement class."
Gu Weijing sniffed as he looked at Miao Angwen's 25,800 steps as he left.
He had mentioned the entangled relationship between Miao Angwen and Brother Hao to Mrs. Sakai before.
Mrs. Sakai now knows.
At Mrs. Sakai's social status, she doesn't want to offend Brother Hao, and she is definitely not afraid of him.
Professor Sakai Kazunari's nearly 250 pounds of fat is still very oppressive when placed outside.
Brother Hao is very powerful in Myanmar. As long as he doesn't live too comfortably and wants some international pressure, such as the United Nations to put pressure on the Myanmar government, he will never dare to touch family members such as Uncle Sakai, who are top artists.
Being friends with Katsuko Sakai also added an invisible talisman to him.
