Chapter 234 Fame and Fortune

Whether a thing is valuable or not depends largely on the hype.

For example, tulips in Western countries used to be more expensive than gold, Clivia that was once hyped in China, and diamonds that are still expensive to death.

Yes, diamonds!

Diamonds are neither rare, nor rare, nor precious, but... they are so expensive.

How did it become valuable?

Several diamond companies, you took out a diamond and he bought it at a high price. He took out a diamond, and you paid a high price to buy it, so you bought and sold it in turn.

Other people look at it, damn it! Are diamonds so valuable? Therefore, diamonds are valuable.

Lu Li saw this sculpture quotation, thought for a while, and understood the truth.

Isn't that how the value of artwork comes from?

A piece of calligraphy and painting has sold millions, even tens of millions. Then, this calligraphy and painting is worth so much money.

A few days later, it's time for the election held by the Xichuan provincial government.

Early in the morning, Lu Li and Manager Wu got into an Audi car and drove all the way to the airport.

The air ticket was booked by Xichuan Provincial Government. Lu Li only needs to swipe his ID card at the airport to change his boarding pass directly.

When entering the airport, Lu Li accidentally discovered that Manager Wu was walking with him.

"Manager Wu, are you going to Xichuan too?"

Lu Li turned his head and asked Manager Wu.

"Yeah! Go ahead and make a stop!"

Manager Wu replied with a smile, "Once your work has passed the check, we need to run the bidding process. ."

"Just after checking it? Don't you want to publish it online?"

Lu Li was a little surprised. The re-election is the Second Step, doesn't the final result also depend on the results of the people's online voting?

"You mean online voting?"

Manager Wu laughed, "Isn't all online voting swiped? How can there be any fair and just online voting? The result is the final result."

Well, I'm speechless!

Lu Li shrugged shoulders.

Online voting...there is only one word, that is shua!

It is purely spontaneous voting, and with the participation of the domestic people, few people will vote for anything.

Check is the final result, online voting is just to watch the excitement.

This situation is not unexpected.

Since checking is the final result, I have to be more serious.

Lu Li reviewed the overall design process in his mind, then began to organize the language and carefully prepared a commentary.

A few hours later, the plane landed at Rongcheng Airport.

"Teacher Lu, welcome to Rongcheng!"

Xiao Wang from the provincial government office is a girl in her twenties. Seeing Lu Li, a young and handsome "Teacher Lu" who is not yet twenty years old, Xiao Wang was slightly stunned.

It turns out that Teacher Lu is so young! Although he knew that Lu Li was a college student, Xiao Wang always thought that Lu Li was a graduate student or something like an Academician!

"My hometown is also from Xichuan!"

Lu Li laughed at Xiao Wang, "Nishichuan Yucheng people."

"Wow! It turns out that Teacher Lu is us Xichuan's genius!"

Xiao Wang sighed with a smile, and then gestured to Lu Li and Manager Wu, "Come on, two, please get in the car."

Then , the reception car of the provincial government, carrying Lu Li and Manager Wu, drove all the way into the urban area of Rongcheng and came to a large hotel near the Xichuan Art Center.

"Teacher Lu, the two of you are temporarily resting here. In the evening, our provincial government office director is going to take care of everyone."

Arrange for Lu Li and Manager Wu After the room was settled, Xiao Wang politely and politely left.

What an expert treatment!

Lu Li laughed , my calligraphy and painting are all expert level, and it is a bit emboldened to say that I am an expert.

In the evening, Lu Li attended the reception banquet held by the provincial government office.

Manager Wu didn't know where to go, and Lu Li didn't see anyone during dinner.

Lu Li also saw his competitors at the reception. Unsurprisingly, these shortlisted works are all from Peak's art academies in China.

More than 300 submissions were submitted and 20 shortlisted entries were selected. There is not a shortage of the top ten art schools in China, and the rest are some famous schools.

Lu Li also found that other selected works belong to the team. A professor led, and a group of graduate students assisted in the completion.

Only Lu Li's works were created by him alone.

At this time, Lu Li finally understood why there are high design fees and profit distribution. Because...it's a team work.

The money seems to be a lot.

I actually completed the workload of a team by myself!

Lu Li smiled and looked the head. No wonder Old Han didn't speak for a long time when he saw my work.

It turns out...I'm already so awesome!

After the warm speech of the provincial director Gao, the dinner finally started.

“Brother, the one in the center?”

A long-haired boy sitting next to Lu Li gestured to Lu Li with a cup, “You’re here alone? Sure enough, it is the central/central/big/big guy, awesome!"

The so-called "central" refers to the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

“One small soldier, you can only follow baton’s actions.”

Lu Li laughed and asked the long-haired boy with artistic temperament: “How about you? Where are you from? "

"Oh, we...the country!"

The long-haired boy shook the pony tail behind his head and replied with a smile.

The phrase "national" refers to the National Academy of Fine Arts, which is located next to the West Lake.

"You are not from the central government, or from the country, you are all big shots!"

A girl across from the side smiled and took over the conversation, "From a small place like us, we will talk to you. These big guys can't be compared!"

Speaking of this, the girl said with a smile: "However, tomorrow's re-election is not based on the name, but on the strength. You central and Country, don't let our little place compare."

"Yo? This classmate seems very confident!"

The long-haired boy flicked his pony tail again. , asked: "Where are the girls from small places?"

"Zhou Family Village!"

The girl grinned.

Zhou Family Village?

The ponytail man was stunned and confused. Where is the Zhou Family Zhuang? What do you mean?

Lu Li glanced at the girl opposite, laughed, "Since Zhou Shu's family, what does it have to do with Lu Xun?"

Well, the so-called Zhou Family Village is Lu Xun Fine Arts Academy too. You girl from the three eastern provinces is a bit naughty!

"It turned out to be from the Lu Academy!"

The ponytail man laughed, "Lu Xunwen Academy is very cool, the Art Academy...then hehe!"

"Yo? Are you initiating a battle?"

The students from the Luyuan Academy across from them were gearing up.

"I'm passing by, I'll eat melons, you can do whatever you want!"

Lu Li quickly stated his position. I eat melons and watch the play, you play slowly.

A dinner that was not harmonious was finally over in the eyes of the students of the National Academy of Fine Arts and the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.

On the morning of second day, candidates from universities and colleges across the country gathered at the Xichuan Art Center.

First, the group draws lots, and the order of candidates is drawn. Then, according to the order of participation, they went to the review room one by one to show their works to provincial leaders and reviewers, and explain the design ideas.

Lu Li's lottery is "6" again.

666! This has already indicated that I will win!

Lu Li's mouth curled into a smile.

The works of the Lu Academy ranked third, and the works of the National Academy of Fine Arts ranked behind Lu Li and tenth. Other colleges and universities, Lu Li also did not pay attention.

The review time for each entry is only 20 minutes. It is a test of a person's ability to demonstrate the features and highlights of the work, and to answer the questions of the reviewers.

As for other participating teams, the tasks are not completed by one person, but the commentary can only be done by one person. Even if they are prepared, there must be some points that are not clear.

Like Lu Li, who handles everything by himself and makes everything by himself, speaking of which is well-thought-out and easy to handle.

Teams go in, teams come out.

Some are elated, some are downcast, it seems that the review room gave comments on the spot.

Soon after, it was Lu Li's turn.

The review room is a large Conference Hall with a large electronic screen hanging on the wall, which is still operated by touch.

Across from the big screen, there is a row of tables. Several leaders of the Xichuan provincial government, as well as several bigwigs in the Xichuan art world, sit on the stage as judges.

"Good morning, leaders and judges!"

Lu Li walked into the judging room, said hello to the leaders on stage, and then began to explain.

Unlike the previous commentators, Lu Li didn't have any materials in his hands, and he didn't need to look at any materials at all when speaking. He remembered all the data clearly and spoke word for word.

"The theme of this large-scale sculpture group I designed is 'to unite together to create the future'."

Reaching out and swiping on the big screen, Lu Li showed the overall composition, Putting up a long-range picture, "Look, everyone, the overall structure of this group of statues is a ship that rides the wind and waves, symbolizing our Xichuan Province setting sail and creating the future."

Said the complete composition, Lu Li opened the close-up again, and showed twenty-one scenes and one hundred and ten pandaren statues of various shapes in front of everyone.

Seeing these pandaren with different shapes but with obvious Xichuan style, the leaders sitting on the stage showed a smile on their lips.

Interesting! Very interesting! Anthropomorphizing pandas, and transforming Xichuan people into pandas, it seems... a kind of expressive feeling!

Some pandaren's actions, manners, expressions and demeanor are very Xichuan flavor, and the local characteristics are very obvious. Xichuan people seem to be very friendly and have a sense of substitution.

The leaders glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and were very satisfied with Lu Li's "Pandaren" sculpture group.

"Twenty-one scenes represent the twenty-one cities and prefectures in Xichuan. Each scene is selected to reflect the characteristics of cities and states. For example, the scene of Xichang launching satellites, such as Ganzi Scenes of horses and cattle in the state, etc."

"The 180 panda statues represent the 180 districts and counties in Xichuan, and the shape of each pandaren fits the districts and counties very well. Such as the guide panda in Leshan, the singing and dancing panda in Kangding, etc."

"This sculpture group combines the cultural and natural characteristics of Xichuan, and shows the characteristics of the times, reflecting the Sichuan people: openness Humanistic spirit of tolerance, respect for morality, honesty, hard work, courage to be the first, optimistic and friendly, optimistic and progressive.”

“My explanation is over!”

Lu Li bowed to everyone A gift!

"pa pa pa..."

The warm applause broke out!

The crowd gave warm applause and nodded with a smile to Lu Li.

“Teacher Lu, your work is amazing.”

After the applause stopped, the boss of Xichuan Province nods to Lu Li with a smile.

"Don't dare! Don't!"

What's the joke? Shu Zhou Mu actually called me teacher? This is totally unbearable.

"I'm from Xichuan Yucheng, and it's my honor to be able to contribute to my hometown. I don't deserve to be called that, I dare not!"

Lu Li quickly declined.

"It turned out to be a talent from my hometown!"

Several bigwigs on stage nodded with a smile.

The provincial boss was full of relief, "No wonder, from your works, I can see your deep love for your hometown, vividly and thoroughly reflect the characteristics of your hometown, and you have summed it up. The humanistic spirit of Xichuan also makes us feel the same."

Eh? Has this Xichuan humanistic spirit been brought up yet?

Lu Li then remembered that the 24-character Xichuan humanistic spirit seemed to have been proposed by this provincial boss, the current Shuzhou Mu, a few years later.

Well, I pirated the humanistic spirit you proposed in the future!

“Teacher Lu…Uh, well, I won’t call Teacher Lu anymore, let’s call you Xiao Lu!”

Lu Li laughed, “You This work is amazing. However, I have a question to ask. The scenes and shapes you designed are very beautiful and detailed, and the cost..."

It turns out that the provincial bosses are worried Too expensive to play!

"Before I came to participate in the election, I had already conducted a detailed cost calculation with the professionals of Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company."

Lu Li has already read Manager Wu's quotation , Naturally, I have a bottom line, "According to the calculation of Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company, the overall project cost is about 40 million."

"Forty million?"

Provincial boss For a moment, he blinked his eyes, a little surprised.

The faces of the provincial bosses next to them were also a little surprised.

Seeing this situation, Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that... the provincial boss thinks it's too expensive? If I had known, I would not have quoted the price of Manager Wu, and directly quoted Old Han's 24 million.

"This price...is calculated by Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company!"

At this time, Lu Li could only hold on to the brace oneself, and it was impossible to change his mouth.

"It seems that our Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company is indeed a state-owned enterprise! This is supporting our Xichuan!"

The provincial boss laughed, "I received The price quoted is more than 50 million!"

Huh?

When Lu Li heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. Sure enough, Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company is not black at all!

Compared to other people's quotes, they are already very conscientious!

"The reason why Huaxia Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. will accept my works for accounting is mainly because of the recommendation of my teacher, Mr. Han Likang."

Since you think it is cheap, it is to see In the face of Old Han, less charge.

"so that's how it is!"

The provincial boss nodded with a smile, "Old Han cares about his hometown and is highly respected! Xiaolu is Old Han's Disciple, and sure enough Famous teachers and apprentices, not bad!"

"You have won the prize!"

Lu Li had to say a little more modestly.

"en! Then... let's do this first!"

The provincial boss laughed at Lu Li, "Xiao Lu, thank you for your explanation and for your contribution to your hometown. .Your work, we will carefully study and discuss, and will announce the results soon."

"Thank you!"

Lu Li bowed and left.

After going out, Lu Li went straight back to the hotel to rest.

Around 5 pm, Xiao Wang from the provincial office called.

"Teacher Lu, the provincial boss asked me to inform you, please contact Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company as soon as possible and let them participate in the bidding."

Participate in the bidding? In other words... it's over?

What did Lu Li not understand after hearing this? This obviously means that the Sichuan Provincial Government has selected Lu Li's work as the theme sculpture for the Cultural Plaza.

Oye! I made it!

Lu Li clenched his fists and was overjoyed.

Creating themed sculptures of the provincial capital city, Lu Li has won a golden light shining gold business card, which is a masterpiece.

With this piece, Lu Li has become famous in the art circle!

Apart from this, this work can bring Lu Li tens of millions of income.

This is… fame and fortune!
