Tender trapping

Xu Ziang's art was exhibited in the city center, and he rented a venue in the center of the business district. The land in the capital is very expensive, so it can be seen that he has prepared a lot for this art exhibition.

However, to be honest, in addition to its own talent, it is necessary to invest a lot of money in art. There must be publicity first, and then people will come to see it. like that.

Xu Ziang was lucky. I heard that he studied abroad a few years ago, met a rich and flattering boss, and funded him to hold exhibitions and publicity in Paris with great fanfare. Later, he was invited to participate in the competition and won awards. characters.

Ran Xu envied him, but he didn't feel unfair about it—he admired Xu Ziang's works, and it should be something to be happy about good works being discovered.

Zhuo Wenlang drove him there, and there was a traffic jam on the way. Ran Xu took this time to talk about Xu Ziang, and he became a little excited when he talked about it: "I heard that he has transformed into a behaviorist since years ago. It’s art, although I still don’t quite understand the concept…there are few domestic ones that do this, and I haven’t seen it much.”

"Huh?" Zhuo Wenlang inadvertently tapped the steering wheel with his index finger, "What performance art?"

"A piece of news this winter said that he collected the wedding rings of a hundred divorced couples, melted the rings, made them into handcuffs, put them on the hands of men and women who were going to get married, and took another hundred photos."

Zhuo Wenlang was silent for a while, then smiled inexplicably, and changed the subject to ask Ran Xu if there was anything he wanted to eat after watching the exhibition.

Ran Xu was taken away by his topic, and began to think seriously about dinner.

When we arrived at the exhibition hall, it happened to be the warmest afternoon in winter, and Ran Xu followed Zhuo Wenlang into the exhibition hall.

The exhibition hall is very large, with different rooms, mainly paintings and some installations.

Ran Xu came here like a fish in water, immersed in all kinds of paintings and designs and didn't have time to talk to Zhuo Wenlang, but the man was also very patient, and kept following him. When Ran Xu looked at the paintings, Zhuo Wenlang just stayed and watched him.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge wooden board painting, which is about three meters high on the central stone pillar. Ran Xu needs to raise his head slightly to see the whole picture - lush trees, large patches of green, either bright or dark, growing from the bottom of the board Looking up, the top is bright yellow with a very strong contrast, even mixed with orange and red inside, which becomes particularly shocking in the presentation of the huge picture.

Ran Xu felt that this stroke was inexplicably familiar, so he stopped below and looked at it for a long time, then went to look for the explanatory board next to it.

The name of the painting is "Accidental Casualties", which is a little unclear, and there is no artist's signature, so I don't know who painted it.

"This painting was given to me by someone a long time ago, but this person has no contact with me now."

Just as Ran Xu was trying to figure out the deep meaning of the painting, a male voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head in surprise and saw a tall and slender man. The first impression he gave was that this man was very white and thin, and he almost had a kind of skin. It feels skinny, but the delicate features become more prominent.

Xu Ziang, the organizer of this exhibition, Ran Xu recognized him immediately.

"Mr. Xu!" Like all the juniors who saw the big names in the industry, he was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was to bow to Xu Ziang, but the next second he was gently supported by the man.

A polite smile appeared on Xu Ziang's face: "You are Zhuo Wenlang's...guest, I can't stand being called a teacher."

Ran Xu didn't realize the meaning of Xu Ziang's words, subconsciously looked at Zhuo Wenlang beside him, who also had a polite smile on his face, and shook hands with Xu Ziang: "Ziang, long time no see."

Unexpectedly, these two people knew each other, Ran Xu stood there a little at a loss.

However, Zhuo Wenlang quickly saw his discomfort, and thoughtfully patted his lower back to make Ran Xu relax: "This kid likes you very much, remember to give him an autograph later." He was half joking.

Xu Ziang's eyes kept falling on Ran Xu, with probing eyes and a deep meaning that others couldn't understand. He pursed his lips and smiled: "Is that so, my honor."

Before Ran Xu could speak, Xu Ziang talked to Ran Xu about the painting in front of him: "The picture shows a forest fire, so for this forest, this is an "accidental casualty"... "

Xu Ziang spoke in a warm voice, but it was quite different from the rather cold art upstart in the news. Ran Xu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and simply seized the opportunity to ask about some paintings and exhibits that he didn't understand just now.

Xu Ziang didn't think he was annoying either, just like a conscientious commentator, he took Ran Xu forward and talked all the way, Zhuo Wenlang received a call from a company on the way, greeted them and went to the exhibition hall Outside.

"...To be honest, I haven't scooped up too many newcomers this year." Xu Ziang stopped in front of a bouquet made of family planning supplies. He moved his eyes away from the exhibits and landed on Ran Xu's face. On, "I am a person who is more nostalgic. Every time I go to find new people, I can't help but compare with the people I signed before."

Ran Xu knew that Xu Ziang now opened a studio by himself in order to find new artists, which was specially used to sign some newcomers and provide them with a development platform.

"But you also produced a lot of works this year." Ran Xu touched his nose, "Although I don't know much about performance art..."

"madman."

"what?"

"They all call us crazy, don't they?" Xu Ziang laughed, his eyes crooked, but he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, "Performance art, mutilating one's own body, doing things that ordinary people don't understand, this kind of is not crazy what is it call?"

This is a bit heavy, Ran Xu didn't know how to respond, so he waved his hands awkwardly, indicating that at least he didn't have such prejudice-everyone has things they don't understand, but maintaining respect is the most basic, art is built on More than tolerance, Ran Xu will not understand this truth.

Xu Ziang didn't continue on this topic, instead he took Ran Xu to continue visiting the exhibition. During the period, the two discussed some views on painting and design. in tune.

Ran Xu confessed to him that recently he was working on some toy designs for 1980. Xu Ziang asked to see Ran Xu's works, but was interrupted by Zhuo Wenlang who came back: "It can't be done now. Before the finished product comes out, it is a commercial secret." He grabbed Ran Xu's shoulders and brought him to his side.

Only then did Xu Ziang shift his gaze to Zhuo Wenlang, stared at him for a while, and then laughed out loud, "You look like a businessman now, and a businessman always only looks forward and doesn't miss the past."

The words were so weird that Ran Xu couldn't help frowning.
