Six Hundred and Sixty-Four. New Forms of Expression

[Career development tasks]

[The media methods of the past were restricted by perception, and the power of expression will always have its end. You have reached the pinnacle under the traditional form of expression. Now it is time to create a new era, become a true founder, and lead a new trend]

[Task requirement: Create new forms of expression]

[Task requirement: Influence human beings: 0/10000000]

["It is said that the first one to eat crab is a brave man, but what about the first one to drink milk?"]

Lu Tan looked at the twisted words and quickly began to think about how to complete this task.

Judging from the mission description of Quiet Place, this mission first requires Lu Jian to create a new form of expression before talking about anything else.

The forms of expression of the works are nothing more than words, sounds, and images. Some works of art also have the experience of touch, smell, and taste. It is said that there are also some works that require people to experience with their heart. Lu Jian doesn't understand. How it works.

He decided to look at those works first to find inspiration.

After checking the Internet, Lu Jian found that there was an art exhibition in Jiangcheng recently, displaying various artworks created by postmodern artists.

After reading the introduction to the exhibition, Lu Jian thought it might be useful for this time, so he immediately booked a ticket.

Not long after placing the order, Lu Tian's cell phone rang.

He saw it was an unfamiliar number and answered the call.

"Is this Director Lu Tan?"

The other person's tone was very polite.

"right."

Lu Tan replied that he didn't know who it was.

"We are the organizers of the 'Experience Modernity' art exhibition. We have just received a reservation to visit the exhibition. Is it you?"

The other party said cautiously.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Nowadays, real-name authentication is required to buy tickets, so the other party knows that Lu Tran's booking of tickets is nothing new.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that we are a little scared, worried that our artistic works are not good enough to catch your eye, Director Lu."

The voice on the phone was panicked.

"It's okay, I'm just going to study."

Lu Tan said generously.

"Then, Director Lu, will you come in the morning or in the afternoon?"

"Afternoon."

Grain madness

Lu Tan replied, and then he listened to the other party briefly introduce the status of the art exhibition, and only after he apologized for disturbing Lu Tan's rest by calling so late, he hung up the phone.

Lu Tan didn't take this incident seriously.

But Cheng Junjie of the industry association, the organizer of the exhibition, felt increasingly uneasy.

In fact, in today's circle, there are not many people who really only want to engage in art. After all, people always have to eat. If the paintings cannot be sold and no one pays for the works, how can it be possible to have enough to eat.

Even if you think you are on Van Gogh's level, your paintings only become valuable after you die. And now, even if you die, your paintings may not be popular. You have to die in a unique way.

In the normal track, most of them are college students and are controlled by big bosses with inheritance. Those big bosses have profound skills and popular paintings. They can even sell the paintings of their students and disciples at a good price, forming a A cycle.

Others can only find another way.

For example, those expressionistic and post-modern styles cannot work without being united.

Most of the works in the post-modern style are basically at the level of "I don't understand, but I am shocked" to the public's aesthetics. Ordinary people can't understand them, and those big guys who spend money don't really read them either. Gotta understand.

But it doesn't matter. As long as there is business exchange and endorsement, then not being able to understand does not prevent you from buying it and collecting it.

Therefore, some people in the circle began to run in increasingly strange, strange, and incomprehensible directions, and then found some seniors to praise them and create value on their own.

Not to mention 99% of Cheng Junjie's exhibition, at least 100% of his works have this purpose.

The works of one master should be at the bottom of the box, leaving others as foils. Organizing and tricking some upstarts who like to buy art but don't know much about art to buy it can be regarded as an industry chain.

Of course, even in this case, some people's works are still too outrageous and cannot be sold at all.

For example, one work is a mobile public toilet, but the problem is that the door and toilet of the public toilet are made of transparent glass. The author placed it on the street for passers-by to use, claiming that it can liberate himself. ,Back to nature.

Another example is an old-fashioned TV that is old and discarded. There is an apple with a bite in it. According to the author, a new apple can be put in it at will, and just take a bite. The work is said to express the alienation of human beings in the electronic age, but Cheng Junjie cannot understand it anyway.

There is also a work, which is a mirror covered with yellow paint. The surface of the mirror is covered with paint and looks yellow. The author claims that this is a silent indictment of this materialistic society, but unfortunately everyone seems to I don't like this accusation very much. No one buys this thing at all.

However, what makes this author still have some expectations is that another postmodernist visual artist was so inspired after seeing the creation of this mirror that he covered the entire mirror with red paint. This piece Artworks have sold for millions at auction, so the author with the yellow paint has been looking forward to the day when he can make a comeback.

Cheng Junjie called in a hurry this time, mainly because he was worried about whether Lu Jian's visit to the exhibition would have some bad effects.

You know, Lu Jian is not one of those nouveau rich coal bosses. He is a real director who has produced blockbuster movies and won artist awards. His artistic vision is definitely higher than most people.

Cheng Junjie himself had watched those movies. Among other things, he felt that he would never be able to learn the arrangement, composition, color, and presentation of some scenes.

If such a person sees through that those works of art are just used to deceive people, they may be ruined.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Lu Jian himself does not understand those works of art, and was deceived into touting them. Then all the works in this art exhibition will probably be sold at high prices on the same day, but this possibility is slim. Cheng Junjie might as well buy a few lottery tickets immediately and pray for winning the jackpot.

That's why he confirmed that Lu Jian was coming in person and was going to make arrangements overnight. He would put away some of the outrageous and clearly deceptive works and put some serious ones on display.

Cheng Junjie thought of this and immediately called his familiar friends in the press and media. He told them that Jiang Lujian was coming to participate in the exhibition. If he reported it casually, others would definitely be curious. If he took the opportunity to promote something, it would also help the development of the industry. .

In such anticipation, Cheng Junjie waited until the afternoon of the next day.
