Chapter 401: Various Truths
There are two types of high-priced paintings.
First of all, there are works that are not that impressive in themselves but have been hyped up by art dealers and collectors. Secondly, there are works that are great in themselves, but whose value has been speculated to be higher.
I believe smart people have also noticed that the key to becoming a painter is to have someone to support you!
With the poor economy in France, the weather was unusually cold in August, and it felt like the world was being put through a gray filter.
Peng——
Listen to the voice that breaks the filter. Less than a week later, Paris’ Le Figaro published a news: “The second Monet is born, and the emerging painter Matthew Bingle becomes A new star in the painting world."
The report tells the story of how Matthew, who lost his job due to the economic recession, regained his former dream, participated in the "New Painter Recruitment Program" and stood out.
Matthew currently signed a contract with an art dealer, and then participated in some activities, and the financial problem was solved.
The new painter recruitment program is jointly organized by famous European art exhibition planners and the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. The slogan is "Select the next Monet and Van Gogh for the world."
The popularity in Europe is quite high, even though many media criticized the slogan of the event. Because there is only one Van Gogh and Monet, even if there are painters of the same level, they are just bragging.
Oh, by the way, Matthew was so excited that he almost forgot to mention it. During the interview, Matthew said frankly (with the guidance of a reporter) about his new work "Who Moved My Cheese?" 》Give me a lot of courage.
Various news also came from the Internet in France:
“After reading this book, the courage in my heart has increased a lot. I dare to compete with a 180-pound cylinder tomorrow. It’s time to experience it.”
“I am very similar to a villain. If I have a stable income, I will completely lose the motivation to move forward. I should learn from Xiu Xiu and Xiu Xiu, and I can’t keep acting like a Heng Heng Chi. .”
"I never thought that one day I would be encouraged by a novel. It feels so amazing."
"Can he really help give me the courage to continue working hard? Before I watched this work, I felt so happy in my heart. With this thought, I got the answer, which frustrated me. It’s life, and it’s my family that rekindled my hope. But I’m very grateful that “Who Moved My Cheese” was the spark that sparked it.” Following the trend on the Internet, many French celebrities also recommended it on Twitter.
If you have been hungover all day, you will definitely feel like you have traveled through time when you wake up. Because it seems that as soon as I wake up, the Internet cannot be understood.
It’s normal. In the era of short videos, there are more and more cases like this. They become popular in a very short time and change to new hot spots in two or three days.
The sales of bookstores are also very gratifying because of the trend of following the trend.
It is no exaggeration to say that with such a huge amount of publicity resources, no matter how bad the work is, it can take off.
“The initial printing of 300,000 copies in Paris could not last even four or five days.” The staff behind the scenes said, “The people are basically discussing this book. It seems that we don’t need to invite Market model.”
To put it in a more down-to-earth way, market model is the navy in line.
"I prefer that there aren't so many people." Jimmy said, "This will make us French people smarter."
"But the plan succeeded, don't be sad." The people behind the scenes comforted him. After all, Jimmy has a weird personality, but Being in a high position in the news department, it is natural that the high position is weird.
"Mr. Dibo Peng Peng will definitely be very satisfied." The curtainman added.
"Don't comfort me." Jimmy said, "Cioran said: 'Our disgust is just a roundabout way of self-loathing.' Even in the news department, I often believe in false news on the Internet."
While the two were talking, the cold wind blew in the physical world, but a warm current came in the spiritual world.
It just so happens that Dibo has been in the Ministry of Culture and Communications for the past two days.
A reporter happened to ask: "Mr. Dibo, please tell me about the very best-selling book "Who Moved My Cheese", also known as "Book for Dibo", which is currently on the market. Is it the same name or the same name? ”
Facing reporters, Dibo showed a very distressed look, and finally said that he had no choice but to reveal it.
Excellent emotional changes can be simply described in two words: "Huh? Alas!"
"The translator of "Who Moved My Cheese" is wangxian (Wang Xian), this is My Chinese name. I didn’t want to reveal it, but...you can’t lie and deceive the people on the first day of taking office.”
You can't lie, but you can act.
“This work is a work written specifically for me by my friend in China, Gu Lu, a genius like Berlioz.” Dibo said.
He then gave a more detailed version, "I paid close attention to the domestic situation when I was in China, and I always wanted to do my part for the people. Gu and I are close friends. After learning about this, I created it specifically to encourage me, so I translated it so that more people in the country can see it."
"It is very useful. France will win. We can overcome any difficulty!" Dibaud waved the book. "I, Dibaud Pampang, the First Minister of the Ministry of Culture and Communications, hereby say that I will always Stand together with the people.”
At first, the cheering navy troops cheered “France will win”, and then infected passers-by also joined.
This speech is almost like adding fuel to the fire.
More frustrated, losers, lonely and marginalized people buy this book.
Gu Lu’s name traveled far and wide to France along with his books. To be precise, the overnight talent has made him famous, and this time it is even more complete. It is estimated that it won’t take long for Yao Xiaoju to receive an invitation to introduce works.
The person who benefited the most from the "Successful Revitalization of Hope Movement" is Dibo, who has made great achievements just after taking office.
Xiao Xiang, a reporter from the Global Times in Paris, saw the front page headline of the French newspaper Le Monde, and his first reaction was——
"Now even Le Monde has started to engage in abstraction?" Xiao Xiang looked confused.
"Inspired by Dibo, his translated works fill France with hope"
The main title is normal, but what is abnormal is the subtitle: "Gu Luwei's works to encourage friends have encouraged all France "Gulu" belongs to every Frenchman. "Gulu is Gu Lu. This name also appeared briefly on the anniversary of the overthrow of the Bastille." Xiaoxiang continued to read. , I thought it was abstract, but I never thought that the content was more exaggerated than the actual content.
A Chinese man made France great again... Oh no, he was so inspired that even if it was well-founded, Xiao Xiang had to go out to check whether the news was true or false.
Arriving at the bookstore, the books with yellow covers are particularly eye-catching.
It is indeed the French who are buying, not the French and Chinese.
Xiao Xiang observed for a long time, and also used his identity as a newspaper reporter to interview several book buyers.
“I came here to buy it after hearing the recommendation from a friend” “I have a friend who didn’t feel much after reading it” “I heard it’s a very good book” and so on.
It’s not as magical as those newspapers said.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xiang checked the corresponding keywords on Twitter, and the Internet was sharing the courage this book brought to him. If you just look at the Internet, it seems that most French people were inspired by "Book to Dibo". Very familiar news statistical methods, the bottom layer is aphasic, and a small part of the Internet represents the majority of the entire country.
"If this continues, this book will become the foreign "Wolf Path" and "Duan Sheli"." These two books are the most common physical books. As long as there is a small You can almost see bookcases in every home.
But then again, the works of a Chinese writer have gained such high popularity overseas. Xiao Xiang must have chosen the most popular truth, and drafted the title of the manuscript in his mind "Why is it Gu Lu!" 》. By chance, as a reporter stationed in France, he also knew a little bit of gossip. In two days, the Ministry of Culture and Communications would award Gu Lu with the Commander of Arts and Letters Medal.
At that time, we will superimpose the two events and check the specific sales volume of the book.
There are several kinds of truth, such as the one Xiaoxiang chose. Isn’t it true? Several authoritative media outlets in France have reported on it. Even though most of the reports are biased towards Dibo, just tell me, is the author of this book Gu Lu? !
I have to say that the reporter from the "Global Times" made the right choice because it has not yet spread - at least the French elite and the French embassy in China are still confiscated. To the sound of wind...
The wind is from the southeast, and the plane is stable today.
Exit 6 of the Singapore Changi Airport, where people gather.
"Why hasn't the teacher come yet?" Gu Lu took out his phone and checked it twice.
The main flight information did not show any delays. Could it be that there was a problem with the luggage?
Just as I was about to make a call to ask, I heard a familiar male voice coming from far away.
Teacher Qu walked over quickly, dragging his suitcase and trotting as he approached Gate No. 6.
"Slow down, Teacher Qu, please slow down." Gu Lu locked his eyes on Teacher Qu in the crowd and took two steps forward.
Mainly Teacher Qu, who is in his forties, is the age of struggle. As a result, my health is not good at all. I am only about 110 meters tall and 1.7 meters tall. Teacher Qu also has long hair. Viewed from behind, she looks like a girl with a graceful figure.
"Where's Professor Lu?" Gu Lu looked back.
The teacher Gu Lu mentioned was not Teacher Qu, but Professor Lu, who was taking the lead this time.
"When I got on the plane, there was something wrong with my luggage, so I changed my ticket." Teacher Qu added, "Don't worry about Teacher Lu, this situation is relatively common."
It's relatively common... OK Yes, Gu Lu probably knows what's going on. Professor Lu doesn’t choose a bed, but he chooses a pillow. Basically, he has to use his own pillow to avoid insomnia.
Whether it is due to habit or luggage, Professor Lu must not be sluggish when he is out on official business. It is important to bring a small pillow.
So why do we fail to remember such an important little pillow so many times? Not sure anymore.
"Teacher Qu, where are we now?" Gu Lu asked.
"Huh? Do I decide?" Teacher Qu coughed twice and realized that he had made a mistake. After all, no matter how famous Gu Lu was, he was only a student in this event.
"Let's go to the hotel first. All the vehicles have been booked, so don't worry about Professor Lu." Teacher Qu said.
"That's good, let's go." Gu Lu said, "Teacher Qu, can you give us a rough idea of what the main process of this Chinese propaganda is?"
The driver helped carry the luggage into the car, and the two of them got into the carriage. This was not the first time that Teacher Qu participated in this "Chinese Hero" activity, and he must have known a few twists and turns.
After all, the flow chart and the information Gu Lu obtained were detailed, but they were all literal and inexperienced.
The correct name is the "Chinese Teaching Heroes Association". Reading Chinese Characters to Make Meanings is an activity attended by representatives of Chinese teachers. The main purpose is to spread Chinese characters.
After visiting the Lion City, it’s time to go to Malay to hold the “Southeast Asian Countries Chinese Teaching Forum”. Professor Lu is the president of this session. There are really a lot of things going on, no wonder the teacher is so busy all day long that no one is around.
Let’s not talk about the horse first, let’s talk about the lion first. Today we need to invite the principals and teachers of middle and high school students to share from teachers, teaching materials, teaching and other aspects. If you need help, please Figure it out at the event.
"We still need to invite students," Gu Lu asked a small question, "then our venue is not big enough?"
Information Gu Lu remembers that the event venue is indoors for about 200 people. How many people can we hold?
“Our meeting is still dominated by teachers.” Teacher Qu paused and responded.
Oh, if you put it this way, Gu Lu will understand. There won’t be many students coming, right?
It took about twenty minutes to get from the airport to the hotel. Gu Lu listened to Teacher Qu and basically explained all the twists and turns.
Professor Lu missed his flight, so he had dinner with Professor Lu and Teacher Qu.
It’s all about eating. Domestic ones are definitely more accustomed to eating than foreign ones.
"Old Jane, you are in a good mood today." Aunt Fang said, "You have eaten half a bowl of rice." If you eat more, you will eat less if you are in a bad mood. Of course, you will sleep less no matter what your mood is.
"It must be good, because the little thought that has been bothering me for more than two months will finally be eliminated today." President Jian drank green vegetable and tofu soup.
The soup that took several hours to cook is not only about "patience" and "dedication", it tastes really good.
Why is it a small thought? One day some time ago, President Jian received the introduction and opening chapter of "From the New World".
It is both aura and demon, with no hint of science fiction at all, let alone hard science fiction.
Unless it's a major change...
"Just let me wash the dishes today." Aunt Fang said as she watched her husband put down the dishes.
"It's not very good." President Jian said, "It's just washing the dishes anyway, so I won't waste much time."
"Okay, looking at you, your soul drifted into the study, I'm afraid You came into the kitchen and broke my dishes." Aunt Fang said.
"I must wash it tomorrow." President Jian emphasized.
"Go quickly, don't delay the good mood of studying." Aunt Fang lowered her head to pack her things, "By the way, don't close the door in the study, let the room be ventilated."
President Jian naturally I agreed, taking three steps in two steps at a time, and walked into the study.
What he never knew was that when he pursued Aunt Fang in college, the latter thought the former was a bit ugly. Until one time in the library, President Jian picked up a book and concentrated on it...it looked quite good. Aunt Fang likes to watch President Jian reading quietly.
In the study room with the door open.
"I'm sorry for urging you to write this article. During this period, the truth is that the skin on your back is a small pimple that you can't scratch even if you want to." With a good mood, President Jian turned on the computer.
Similar to the mood of having a cup of tea.
Looking directly at the main text, the preface and the first chapter have basically remained unchanged except for a few small paragraphs and wording.
So it really starts with fantasy and writes hard science fiction? President Jian's "itching" feeling reached its peak.
