"Okay, I remember."

Fan Ning stretched his body and walked out of the living room.

During this time, his schedule was very regular.

From late at night, to getting up early in the morning, and then throughout the morning, it is time to compose.

Afternoon is office hours.

In the evening, there are social outings, business conversations and private conversations, but usually no more than 9:30, before returning to the living room to continue creating.

There are no rehearsals or performances for the time being.

In short, it's probably a bit like returning to the situation during the previous creation of "Resurrection".

But what is different from before is that this time Fan Ning's emotional state is not so "alone", at least as shown to outsiders.

During the creation period, he didn't mind if Sheeran came over to "interrupt" or if his colleagues needed to ask for instructions on important matters.

As for non-creative office hours

Everyone discovered that this office corridor had been overcrowded almost all day since the day after Fan Ning came back from attending the investiture ceremony in the imperial capital!

After all, there are only a few high-end people who can really receive invitations from Fan Ning or can make connections.

After these people successfully made reservations and entered Sheeran's production schedule, they just had to visit as scheduled.

But the majority of people have no connections and come uninvited!

After reaching the front of the queue, explain the purpose of your visit to the administrative assistant. Under the premise that you will "come in for a few minutes", the assistant will ask Ms. Sheeran for instructions to see if you can join the queue.

Yes, in fact, many people don't know that it is not Fan Ning himself who decides whether to meet or not to meet. His mind is already overloaded and he is too lazy to devote energy to screening.

Whatever Sheeran says is what she says, and whoever arranges it is who she is.

In fact, these people outside the reservation range are not necessarily "low-end". Most of them are from well-off families, have excellent talents, or are well-known in the local area, and can climb up to the middle-level or even high-level personnel of Turner Art Hall. Say hello in advance

But there is no way, Master Fan Ning only has 4-6 hours of office time a day.

Go ahead and queue up.

In order to improve the experience of visitors - after all, as the headquarters of Turner Arts Cinemas, it cannot lose its etiquette and lose its appearance - the administrative department has recently installed 24 additional 24-meter-high ceilings on both sides of this long office corridor. There is no room to add more than a couch for resting and 6 automatic coffee machines.

"Had I known it with foresight, the plans for this corridor should have been made wider, although it is already wide enough."

Deputy Director of Operations Congreve held a few stacks of documents in his hand and looked helplessly at the long line of gentlemen and ladies sitting on the sofa with coffee in front of him, as well as the dense figures in front of him who were checking what was going on behind the office door.

This tall, fat man with a dark complexion and a suit and leather shoes, a senior tea sommelier recruited by Fan Ning from the Guidance School's self-operated restaurant, finally joined the team resting on the sofa. He leaned back and muttered:

"Hell, I think the administration department must have missed something. They need to add a few more washrooms on this floor."

"So, Master Fan Ning has agreed to our San Pelto Secession holding exhibitions in various theaters this year? Haha."

On the sofa in the guest seat, an unattractive young man was moving his shoulders and neck. His eyes were small, his forehead was high, he had a slightly philistine beard and curly hair, but his eyes flashed with golden light from time to time.

"Chairman Klimt, it's not as serious as 'agree'. It should be said that we finally established a cooperative relationship this year." Fan Ning corrected with a smile.

The man in front of Fanning was Klimt, the chairman of the San Pelto Secession Association and an artist of the great Janus level.

He was born in a family that specializes in gold and silver jewelry craftsmanship. He became famous in the early days by relying on traditional techniques, with rigorous shapes, rich colors, and plump female bodies as his style characteristics.

And due to the influence of his life experience, he is very good at decorative arts. He likes to mix paint and gold powder to give his works a brilliant and gorgeous effect. In the years when he was first promoted to "Forged Lion", the people of San Perto liked to call him As the "Golden Painter".

But later, he led a group of followers and began to create avant-garde art. He advocated dismantling the composition and line relationships in realistic works, refining and deforming the elements with geometric properties, forming an abstract, concise, bright and powerful plane. expressive effect.

"Secession" means "getting rid of the stylistic influence of the official academy."

Because they feared that the "Mysterious Chord" technique or other "mysterious paintings" might have the shadow of the Divine Advent Society behind them, under Fan Ning's special instructions during his wandering, the Turner Art Hall was very cautious about avant-garde art.

Therefore, he is still classified into the "conservative and authoritative" category by the art circle.

Now that Fan Ning is back and taking charge personally, he is finally ready to open up the door.

After all, it is impossible to give up the potential market share and evaluation voice of modern art.

He would rather have in-depth exchanges and cooperation with these people to see which people were "taught" by the Divine Advent Society.

Today, Fanning and the San Pelto Secession have reached an intention to organize a series of exhibitions, and the cooperation will begin in the field of fine arts.

Because he relied on his keen intuition about the art market, he believed that Klimt might be the first of this group of avant-garde artists to be promoted to the "Crescent".

And another important reason is

When Fanning was sitting in the Vatican as Lavoisier in the Western Continent, he read the secret correspondence of the "Tonal Disintegration Plan" between the Holy Sun Church and the Bologna School!

The "Separatists" of the Western Continent and the "Expressionists" of the Northern Continent are modern schools that the two official organizations secretly agreed to support first and compete with the Special Patrol Office for the right to speak!

Fanning couldn't tell whether some of the other artists he came into contact with were backed by the Special Patrol Office or the God's Advent Society, but the founders of these two factions were definitely the objects that could be temporarily united!

"Master Fanning is polite." Klimt responded, "By the way, Mr. Hesso in our group said that he had seen you on the awarding day before."

"Oh, we talked several times." Fanning nodded, "He is the most thoughtful, radical, and interesting in chamber music creation."

"There is another very interesting point, Master Fanning." Klimt said again.

"Hai Suo and I, including those friends in your country's art world who advocate "Expressionism", "Twelve-tone technique", and "End of the Century" thoughts, Hesher, Adim, and the "Fauvism" of the southern continent, etc. There are many of us. Although we now have different styles and different concepts, the courage to break away from the romantic tradition was inspired by the so-called "Impressionism" you played a few years ago." "I don't play much myself." Fanning waved his hand. "Or it might be more appropriate to say 'induced abortion'," Klimt said. "You 'induced abortion' of Impressionism, but this school of thought was quickly 'pacified' and entered the evaluation system set by the authorities. Their purpose is always so clear."

"But at least, you proved the possibility of a new world, which made others dare to leave the path they have always taken and decide to go somewhere else."

Fanning recalled at this time: "Among the group of painters and musicians friends at that time, only Klauvid stayed with me as the deputy director of lighting and stage design. The rest of them, although they still maintain contact and cooperation, their artistic concepts have gradually shifted to other schools. The current 'pure impressionism' actually no longer exists. ”

He smiled with an inexplicable meaning: "In the current art world, many people's first reaction to "Impressionism" is, oh, a short-lived but brilliant gimmick, leaving behind a group of high-priced paintings, but soon no one painted like that, and those who forced themselves to continue painting like that could no longer make high prices."

"Of course, my own evaluation is not so low. After all, they left a lot of valuable assets for the Turner Art Museum. But looking back, it was indeed just a temporary bridge. After we walked this journey together, we went to other places separately."

"So where did Master Fanning decide to go after crossing the bridge?"

Klimt agreed with Fanning's metaphor and asked.

".Oh, I guess, maybe it's still romanticism? There is actually another name for "late romanticism", called "extreme romanticism."

Many people know that Fanning has the ability to write modern works.

And the evaluation is generally high.

But obviously, Klimt also saw it very clearly.

He, like many other modern artists, chose to explore unknown directions because he knew that as a young man born at the "end of the century", if he continued to follow the path of romanticism, he would probably never become a "crescent moon".

Who is not an ambitious person in art?

It's a pity that the track is getting narrower and narrower.

But Fanning, a 26-year-old genius and eccentric, faced with so many masters who were so overwhelming and almost walked all the roads that could be walked, but he succeeded with a batch of works such as "Giant" and "Resurrection"!

With Fanning's current status, he doesn't need to open up a new track! To compete with those few people for the title of "Torchbearer" of romanticism is to have a higher "ambition index"!

Fanning smiled noncommittally: "Chairman Klimt, you have a sharp eye, but I don't plan to talk to you about romanticism today."

"You know, the asset protectors behind the Turner Art Hall, due to some historical reasons, are mainly guided by the school, while the art collaborators are mainly the Bologna School and the Holy Sun Church, each with a share. In addition to cooperating in the exhibition, I invited you here today, mainly because I have another thing to discuss with you in private in advance."

He deliberately emphasized the two parties in the "Tonality Disintegration Plan".

"I plan to create a journal dedicated to exploring all modern art, yes, all modern art schools, all of them!"

"As for the name of the journal, it's called "New Moon"!"
