heart flower deer hit

After the opening of the exhibition, Leng Feng became very busy. Shao Qihua arranged a lot of itineraries for him, basically meeting various people and chatting about various things. Sometimes there were several calls a day, appointments for Brunch in the morning, dinner at noon, and afternoon tea in the afternoon. Not to mention at night, the line is full every night. Before Leng Feng came, he had made an agreement with him that he would only stay here for a month. Shao Qihua made the best use of it, and all kinds of useful people had to meet and chat. Once again, especially since everyone has seen Leng Feng's works, the chat is more purposeful.

Various art reviews for this exhibition have also come out. Professional art media and eye-catching self-media have all posted manuscripts one after another, especially the group of self-media, which carefully picked up Leng Feng’s life experience like a roller coaster before. , but let him out of the circle.

Among them, the most important comment is of course Zhao Tang's comment. Shao Qihua did it on purpose. Since Leng Feng was in the hands of an authoritative critic before, he must get affirmation from the real authoritative comment when he stands up this time. , Zhao Tang's reputation is no lower than Rong Yu's, and his research direction is more modern and contemporary, with an international perspective, which fits Leng Feng very well.

Zhao Tang's comments soon appeared on an authoritative art media. He behaved extremely indifferently, but the wording of the article was completely opposite. In the article, he praised Leng Feng with warm words, saying that he saw a creative The author's innocence, this argument completely washed away Leng Feng's previous label of "ruthless, desireless, and expressionless".

After Shao Qihua's operation, this comment was fermented on social platforms, and Leng Feng seemed to be an "artist who endured hardships and tasted courage, and then broke the boat and walked out of his own artistic path".

People like to read the story of the counterattack the most. The story of Leng Feng has been interpreted by various people in various ways they want, and I am very cooperative and don't care.

Zhao Tang's optimism towards Leng Feng also triggered a more important continuation. He himself has lived in Europe for a long time and is familiar with various prestigious art funds. Shao Qihua and Leng Feng got to know Shao Qihua and Leng Feng with an important person, Jonas, the head of the art fund who has been cooperating with the Venice Biennale for many years. This person happened to be participating in an event in China recently, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Foreigners like afternoon tea, and they made an appointment two days later in the afternoon. Shao Qihua and Zhao Tang clearly meant that if Jonas was settled, Leng Feng would be allowed to participate in the Venice Biennale. This is not the treatment that ordinary artists can get. If realized, Leng Feng could really be among the top artists.

Shao Qihua chatted with Leng Feng on the phone, Leng Feng turned on the speakerphone directly, and Bie Dong heard it from the side, Shao Qihua said: "Your original skills are better than most people, and now you have found your own style, but you are lacking. An opportunity, the resources I can give you are all in China, but you know contemporary art, the top resources are all abroad, and the way to gain fame is also abroad, Ah Feng, you can’t stop, you have to go out, take this opportunity."

Leng Feng has been immersed in this circle for many years. Of course, he knows how scarce top resources are. Few Chinese artists have been able to go to the Venice Biennale for so many years. He wants to be the top person, but he doesn't want to.

Creators have desires and ambitions, which are the source of motivation. How good it feels to be recognized by others based on one's own strength. Leng Feng knows the taste, which is completely different from the feeling of being suppressed and praised by his father in the past.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Leng Feng said, "I hope the person in charge of the fund will appreciate my work."

"Don't worry, with Zhao Tang's recommendation, at least the basic impression score will not be low. People have preconceived impressions, and there is a completely different difference between having foreshadowing and not foreshadowing." Shao Qihua said.

After hanging up the phone, Leng Feng felt a little indescribably excited. The Venice Biennale is the palace that every artist never forgets.

He held Bie Dong's hand, and was speechless for a while, Bie Dong said: "Brother Feng, this is really good."

Only then did Bie Dong know that the world of art is so vast, and that the works that Leng Feng vacated in the remote mountain village of Yegu in Lijin would be liked by so many people. It turns out that a big city like Denghong is not the end, and there are more More and wider stage.

These are reserved for Leng Feng, don't think about it, as long as Leng Feng is willing to step out, he can go to so many, such a vast place.

"Let's go together in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." Leng Feng said, the two of them chatted with various people these days, and sometimes if Leng Feng felt that the other party was not worth spending more time, he would end the meeting early, and he couldn't stand chattering I don't want to talk nonsense, and I don't want to make Biedong feel bored.

All the meetings Bie Dong was quiet and didn't say a word. Leng Feng noticed that Bie Dong was always in a low mood and often distracted at such times, so he said to him: "I promised Brother Shao to stay for a month. Anyway, at the end of the month, we will return to Lijin, soon."

Bie Dong didn't show any resistance, on the contrary, he felt that Leng Feng should stay here, especially after hearing about the Biennale. As for himself, he felt that he should return to Lijin.

He misses the mountains and clouds there, he misses busy cooking in the kitchen, and he also wants to quickly find an inn of his own. Compared with his artist boyfriend who is about to go international, Bie Dong feels that the things he is thinking about are insignificant. But even if he is as small as an ant, he still wants to have something pure and his own.

In his bones, he was always the child who struggled to grow up in the most difficult environment, and just clinging to one person, even if this person was his closest lover, made him feel uneasy all over.

The meeting with Zhao Tang and Jonas arrived as scheduled. They first went to the art gallery to look at the works again, mainly to accompany Jonas. Bie Dong still walked quietly by the edge of Lengfeng, but this time he did not lose his mind and was serious throughout the process. Listen carefully to what they are talking about.

At first Shao Qihua was doing the translation, and Jonas was from Germany, and he showed his approval of Leng Feng’s works, but he seemed not completely satisfied. At this time, Shao Qihua made his own initiative and showed him Leng Feng’s works that were not exhibited at the bottom of the box. For that statue, Jonas' eyes lit up immediately, holding those photos over and over again, and even said, "This one is very good, better than all the works here."

Leng Feng's face was a little ugly. He knew that Shao Qihua didn't want to miss this rare opportunity, but he really didn't want to make that work public. For him, exhibiting that work was no different from putting Bie Dong himself on display. This work contains all the secrets and past of Biedong, which can only belong to the two of them.

After leaving the art museum, several people found a cafe to sit down and chat. Leng Feng began to talk directly to Jonas in German, expressing clearly that he would not use that work for exhibition. Jonas was slightly startled, his expression became a little subtle, shrugging He shrugged and said, "That's impossible."

As the person in charge of a well-known art fund, he can directly select and send works to the world's top art exhibitions. The power in his hands can be imagined. He didn't expect to be refuted by a little guy in his eyes. Jonas thought Very upset.

Shao Qihua quickly smoothed things over, and begged Zhao Tang to say something nicer with his eyes, Zhao Tang's face was not very happy, Leng Feng's refusal to exhibit that work was tantamount to refuting the two people's faces, since he and Shao Qihua have known each other for many years For the sake of it, I reluctantly help to round up a few words.

These few people were speaking German quickly, Bie Dong couldn't understand at all, he wrung his hands, feeling a little uneasy.

He really wanted Leng Feng to give up that stubbornness. Since he liked that work, he could just use it to participate in the exhibition. He didn't mind. In German, he couldn't get a word in at all.

In the end, without knowing what Jonas said, everyone stopped talking abruptly. After a few seconds, Shao Qihua changed his Chinese and said to Leng Feng: "Ah Feng, this is also a very good opportunity, what do you think?"

Leng Feng seemed to be thinking, then turned his head to look at Bie Dong, Bie Dong was startled, could it be that what he just said has something to do with him?

"Give me some time to think about it, okay?" Leng Feng said to Shao Qihua and Zhao Tang, and then said a few words to Jonas in German.

Jonas shrugged again noncommittally, and muttered something.

Shao Qihua said to Leng Feng: "You only have one night to think about it. He will get an answer tomorrow morning. This opportunity is really rare. Ah Feng, don't be confused."

"I know." Leng Feng frowned slightly.

Shao Qihua turned to Jonas again, and asked which artists were in residence for this period. Jonas announced a series of names, and Shao Qihua's eyes lit up. He looked at Leng Feng and said, "I don't need to tell you, you know the weight of these names, you Can create together with them, don't you yearn for such an opportunity?"

Jonas had other matters to leave first, Zhao Tang was with him, and the remaining three continued to sit. As soon as they left, Shao Qihua sighed, his face full of incomprehension, and asked Leng Feng: "What on earth are you thinking?" ?”

Leng Feng still looked at Bie Dong, and Bie Dong asked: "What did you talk about just now?"

Leng Feng seemed to have just remembered that everyone was speaking German just now. He said: "Jonas said that he is also in charge of an artist-in-residence project in Berlin. After the selection, it can also be sent to the Venice Biennale, and he invited me to participate in this residency project.”

Bie Dong still doesn’t quite understand what is resident creation?

Shao Qihua explained to him: "Many artists, including Ah Feng, live together in the art creation base in Berlin. Usually, for about half a year, they focus on creating each individual's art work. Sometimes the residence will give the theme, and sometimes it will not. This is now It is a very common mode of international art exchange and creation, which brings top artists together and inspires more."

Bie Dong understood, and also understood why Leng Feng had been looking at him just now. If he went to participate in this resident creation, he would stay in Berlin for three to six months, and they would be separated.

"When will this residency program start?" Bie Dong asked.

"It's already started." Shao Qihua said, "Just now Jonas said that there is still one last invite."

"Can't you bring your family with you?" Leng Feng asked.

"As far as I know, the residency project that Jonas is in charge of only invites the artist himself. If the family members go, they can only be responsible for themselves. Moreover, once the artistic creation starts, it is basically closed. The artist doesn't even use the mobile phone very much, and the family members can only It’s quite lonely outside the base alone.” Shao Qihua said objectively: “Originally, if you wanted to, you could directly use that sculpture to participate in the Biennale. You can’t get it even if you ask for it, and you won it with your own strength, why are you still hesitating? Have you ever thought about how many top opportunities you will face in the future if you can successfully participate in the Biennale?"

Bie Dong knows what Leng Feng is hesitating about. Love is like a hotbed, which makes people indulge and linger. Leng Feng, who has always been a decisive person, hesitates in the face of such an opportunity. Bie Dong feels that he has to give him a push.

He said: "You should go, brother Feng, I know you, you are not a person who will retreat."
