Chapter 61: On Art
The man opposite Jiang Yan looked up at Xu Zhengdao and asked Jiang Yan: "These are your friends, why don't you introduce them?"
Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly and introduced to the man: "This is Xu Zhengdao, this is Zhang Ruyu, this is Huang Haoran, they are all from Beijing Electric." She introduced to Xu Zhengdao again: "This is my boyfriend Wu Feng."
When Wu Feng heard that the man in front of him was Jiang Yan's ex-boyfriend Xu Zhengdao, he couldn't help but look at him with scrutiny. He thought to himself, it was said that Jiang Yan's original boyfriend was not only a talented man, but also a handsome guy. He looked like this. Can he be called a handsome guy? He looked ordinary!
When Wu Feng's eyes moved to the side and fell on Tong Liya's face beside Xu Zhengdao, her eyes couldn't help but shiny, thinking that this girl is so beautiful, much better than Jiang Yan! Damn it! The good cabbage was robbed by the pig!
While Wu Feng was looking at Xu Zhengdao, Xu Zhengdao was also looking at Wu Feng. He was 1.6 meters tall, standing next to Jiang Yan, who was 1.66 meters tall, and had a pair of rat eyes. He looked like a mouse became a sperm. Compared with Wu Feng, Fu Yan dared to say that he was Daniel Wu of Beijing Radio and Television.
After all, Wu Feng is a person who has seen the world. After a brief surprise, he immediately returned to normal. He looked at Xu Zheng with a smile and said, "So you are Xu Zhengdao. I heard Jiang Yan talk about you. I heard that you are a famous talented man from Beijing Film Academy and very talented. I run a film and television company, and maybe I will cooperate in the future." As he said that, he took out a business card and handed it to Xu Zhengdao: "This is my business card. If you have any places to help, you can call me."
Xu Zhengdao took the business card and saw it, which read "Beiping Tianyi Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., General Manager Wu Feng". In recent years, in order to attract investment, Xu Zhengdao has traveled all the film and television companies in Peking City. He knows that Tianyi is a film and television company that focuses on filming TV series. It is said that the real boss of this company is in real estate. After his son returned from studying abroad, he felt that the film and television industry was more promising, so he opened a film and television company.
Xu Zhengdao stuffed his business card into his pocket and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Mr. Wu from Tianyi Film and Television. He has long been famous. I don't have a business card for the time being. I will print a business card and I will add one to you when I go."
Wu Feng turned to look at Tong Liya and asked Xu Zheng, "What are these?"
Xu Zhengdao thought to himself, why is Wu Feng so enthusiastic? It turns out that he wants to meet Tong Liya. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Yan and introduced: "These three are my friends, this is Tong Liya, this is Wang Zixuan, this is Zhang Yue." He said to Tong Liya and the others, "Let me introduce you to Jiang Yan, this is Wu Feng, the boss of Tianyi Film and Television."
Wu Feng looked at Tong Liya, then looked at Wang Zixuan and the others, and said enthusiastically: "Since you are Jiang Yan's friends, that's my friend of Wu Feng. It's rare for everyone to meet, let's go together. We are all from the film and television industry, and we are all from our own people. We can communicate and communicate, and maybe we will cooperate in the future."
Xu Zhengdao originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought, if I refused, I would seem to be scared, and said lightly: "Okay, let's talk together." He turned to Zhang Ruyu and the others and said: "Since you meet, let's go together."
Zhang Ruyu and Huang Haoran knew why Xu Zhengdao broke up with Jiang Yan. They both looked down on Jiang Yan from the bottom of their hearts, nor did they look down on this person named Wu Feng. However, Xu Zhengdao spoke, and they couldn't refute: "Then let's go together!"
Tong Liya and the others didn't know what happened to Xu Zhengdao, Jiang Yan and Wu Feng. They felt that something seemed to be between them, and they always felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. At this time, they didn't ask much, and nodded and said, "Let's follow your arrangement."
After sitting down, Xu Zhengdao waved to the waiter to bring the menu over. He handed the menu to Tong Liya: "Yaya, order whatever you three want to eat yourself." Tong Liya returned the menu to Xu Zheng: "You should order it. I have never eaten Western food, so I don't know what to order." Xu Zhengdao flipped through the menu, ordered the dishes for Tong Liya and the others, and then handed the menu to Zhang Ruyu.
Jiang Yan thought that Xu Zhengdao would not be in a good life after breaking up with him, but she didn't expect that not only did he live a miserable life, but he was actually following a girl who was more beautiful than him, and she felt a little unhappy.
In order to prove the correctness of the breakup, she said in a show-off tone: "I took on a drama called "We Will Disappear Youth". I played the leading female role, including Mr. Chen Daomin and Tong Dawei. The director is Chen Yan of "Chinese Divorce", and will start filming at the end of the year. This drama was invested by Wu Feng's Tianyi Company. What about you, how is your movie?"
"Staring Chen Daomin and Tong Dawei, it seems to be a big show, so congratulations." Xu Zhengdao said lightly, "As for me, it's pretty good. I came back from Canada a few days ago. The horror filmed in May sold a little money in Canada, and now I'm running for the new film."
While Jiang Yan was talking to Xu Zhengdao, Wu Feng said to Tong Liya with a smile: "You three should be actors. Our company is preparing a new drama called "We Will Disappear Youth". The actors include Chen Daomin and Tong Dawei, and the director is Chen Yan of "Chinese Divorce". I think you have a good image and temperament. If you are interested, you can try it at Jiuxian Apartment. We are casting." As he said that, he took out a business card and handed it to Tong Liya: "You can call me."
Tong Liya did not accept Wu Feng’s business card: “We don’t allow people to take roles in our freshman year and sophomore year.”
Wu Feng didn't expect that Tong Liya wouldn't accept her business card. She looked a little embarrassed and smiled and took it back. She said fiercely in her heart, "Damn! Bitch! Some people don't want to be someone you want! He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Jiang Yan, now many people are particularly optimistic about "We Will Disappear Youth". This drama will definitely become popular, and you will definitely become a big hit."
Jiang Yan looked at Wu Feng with gentle eyes: "Everyone said that in the entertainment industry, Xiaohong relies on praise and Dahong relies on life. Meeting you is my life."
Wu Feng felt a little unhappy, and when he looked at Xu Zhengdao, he felt a little displeased: "Xu Zhengdao, I heard from Jiang Yan that you have been an exchange student in the UK for one semester. Why didn't you study for a master's degree in the UK and stayed at Beijing Electric?"
Jiang Yan proudly introduced to Xu Zhengdao: "Wu Feng is a university and graduate student in the UK."
Wu Feng smiled proudly and said as a person who has experienced it: "Now that Haitang people are rich, studying abroad is nothing. There are tens of thousands of Haitang students in London alone, not only in universities, but also in middle schools and primary schools. The domestic film and television production level is very low, and there are almost no film and television works that can be watched. The directors and screenwriters are very poor in all aspects, and they are incomparable to foreign countries. I think you directors should go abroad for more trips and study abroad, otherwise the film and television level of Haitang Kingdom will not be able to improve."
Xu Zhengdao said lightly: "I spent a semester in the UK and gained a lot of knowledge, but it was not helpful for filming. I think it would be correct to study abroad if I was doing scientific research, but studying abroad with film and television and art is completely putting the cart before the horse. Art must be rooted in local culture. Now many people praise Li An and think that Li An integrates Chinese and Western cultures is particularly amazing. But in fact, the artistic nature of Li An movies is not as good as Wong Kar-wai and Hou Hsiao-hsien. From another perspective, it is not reliable to integrate Chinese and Western cultures. The real art must be extreme and ultimate. British movies used to be very strong, and they produced some awesome directors. Now, I don't think they are much better than us."
Seeing that Xu Zhengdao did not take British films seriously, Wu Feng couldn't help but say: "Although British films are not as powerful as the United States, they are still very powerful and cannot be compared with Haitang Kingdom. This is even more so in the field of art. Don't be arrogant, you must learn from other people's advanced ideas and ideas. Domestic film and television works are not good, but I think it is mainly because the director's aesthetics are not good and the lack of advanced artistic concepts."
Xu Zhengdao smiled disdainfully: "British art was okay in the past, but I really don't appreciate contemporary art very much. I think art should express ancient feelings such as true feelings and humanity, while British contemporary art just lacks these. You study in the UK, should you know that the Turner Award? In the past ten years, the Turner Award has basically been installed art, audio-visual art, micro-art, conceptual art and photography art. In 1995, Damien Hister won by sheep and lamb soaked in formalin solution.
.The winner of the award in 1998 was the artist Chris Oferi, whose work was a black Virgin Mary painted with elephant shit. Later, he went to New York for exhibition. New York Mayor Giuliani ordered the ban on the exhibition because Oferi's Virgin Mary was suspected of blasphemy. Later, the gallery sued the New York City Government. Tracy Emin is a dazzling new star that has emerged in recent years. Her work "My Bed" has caused great controversy. I wonder what you think of Tracy's work?"
Wu Feng knew very little about contemporary British art. The works of the people Xu Zhengdao were completely unfamiliar to him, and he had never even heard of them. How could he answer? He understood that talking about art with people like Xu Zhengdao about art is completely a shame, so he quickly changed his position: "I read philosophy in the UK and don't know much about art."
Zhang Ruyu and Huang Haoran both smiled. It is simply a shame to dare to talk about art with the righteous way even if you are so serious!
Xu Zhengdao educated: "Mr. Wu, as the boss of a film and television company, you can't understand art. Our art in the country of Haitang is very strong. Picasso once told Zhang Daqian that the most I don't understand is why you Haitang people go to Paris to learn art? Don't say that there is no art in Paris, and the whole West, white people don't have art! When it comes to art in this world, the first is that you Haitang people have art, and the second is the art of Japan. Of course, Japan's art comes from your Haitang countries. As the boss of a film and television company, you should not be too respectful to foreign countries, but you should study the art and thoughts of our ancestors. Now, domestic film and television works are not good. I think it is caused by the boss of a film and television company that admires foreign countries and has a lack of understanding of local art."
Wu Feng didn't expect Xu Zhengdao to return what he just said. He felt his face burning, as if he was slapped in the face. He coughed dryly and quickly turned the topic to philosophy: "Art is a kind of understanding of beauty, and the level of upward is a philosophy about beauty. The expression of art requires the guidance of philosophy to have higher beauty. I think those who engage in art should learn some philosophy. Speaking of philosophy, we should really learn from the West. The greatness of Western civilization is that it was righteous from the beginning.
Indeed, the development process of Western civilization is to be constantly correct and great on the basis of correctness. From the very beginning, the ancestors of Westerners had Greek philosophy, laying the correct foundation for science and modern society, and laying the starting point for future greatness and glory. This is why Western civilization is ahead of other indigenous civilizations. Other indigenous civilizations can only invent and have limitations and cannot adapt to future indigenous theories. Therefore, Western civilization has actually killed other indigenous civilizations since the time of our ancestors."
