Return to the Road of God

The sudden exposure by the media caught the three major families by surprise. From the moment the scandal was released, the calls from the public relations departments of the three major groups have not stopped. Of course, the most affected one is the Hongyun Group.

Near the Hongyun Group building, reporters from various newspapers and TV stations are surrounded all day long. People who enter and leave the company are interviewed calmly at first, but they don’t expect that a sentence or two will be caught by the reporters and make a big fuss——"Hongyun Staff Said The working system is cruel and inhuman", "Hong Yun's senior contracted artist reveals that his treatment is equivalent to that of migrant workers"...

At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights in the Hongyun Group's general conference room were still on, and an emergency meeting was being held here.

"Has the investigation of the contract incident been clear?"

"Returning to the chairman, the contract is true. Luo Xiao signed the series of contracts established when the old chairman was in office. During the contract period, Luo Xiao did not create any works for three or four years."

Guan Linyun frowned. There were indeed many disadvantages in the way the previous generation took power, but it was not possible for the development of the group back then, but those were gradually improved after he took over.

However, what made him feel strange was that the contract of Luo Xiao's era had been abolished ten years ago, and the sample was locked up by the top management of the group as a secret document. How did the media know about it?

"Luo Xiao's tragedy is related to the immature system back then, but it's not all in the company. After all, there are many signees like him, but he is the only one who has an accident. It is unlikely that the media will spontaneously dig up the Hongyun scandal. In my opinion, there must be the guidance and support of a high-ranking person behind this..."

One added: "Also, whatever we say, journalists will write negatively about it."

The other person sighed, and said melancholy: "Who did Hong Yun offend? Why did she suddenly attack without warning!"

……

The meeting lasted until late at night, and Guan Linyun returned home exhausted.

"Master, the young master just called to inquire about the situation." Old Zhong took Guan Linyun's coat and said, "He also saw the news abroad."

Guan Linyun said: "Tell him it's nothing serious and let him concentrate on his studies."

Old Zhong laughed and said, "That's right. A group as big as Hong Yun has established itself in the domestic art field for more than half a century. No matter how hard it is, the newspapers can't support it with just a few words."

"Hmm..." Guan Linyun was a little hesitant when he said "hmm".

The matter was not as easy as what Lao Zhong said. The next day, an entertainment magazine pointed the pen at the top executives of the Hong Yun Group, exposing the extravagance and prostitution of their daily lives.Soon, this person received a notice from the procuratorate to cooperate with the investigation, saying that someone had reported him for bribery.

In this way, what the group is facing is not just a public relations crisis. If the crime of bribery is really carried out, the relationship network established by the group for a long time will be broken!

The so-called one trigger affects the whole body. With the intervention of the procuratorial organ, there is a gap between the three major groups that were originally monolithic. Tang took the lead in voicing his betrayal of his allies, saying that he would not join forces with "relevant people". The reporter immediately interviewed Tang. Several designers under the banner asked them what they thought of the Hong Yun scandal.

"Although design and art are related, we still have an essential difference," said a designer frankly, "Companies under the Tang Group mainly sign employment contracts with employees, rather than buyout contracts. Hongyun, Art The relationship between the world and artists is the same as the relationship between entertainment companies and artists, and the things that Hong Yun was exposed are commonplace in their industry."

The public was shocked when they heard the news, similar to an entertainment company?How dark is that!

At this moment, inside the Yishi Group, which is just across the road from Hongyun, the young power-holder Bo Ling is sitting in the office, reading the newspaper and sneering coldly: "Tang's move is really decisive. What they do means that The future cooperation with us will also end here.”

The secretary beside him asked, "Now there are a lot of negative news about Yishi Group, what should we do?"

This time the public opinion attack is mainly aimed at the government, and most of the news related to Yishi is implicated by Hong Yun, and no media is targeting us alone." Bo Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "There is no need to rush to talk to Hong Yun. Turn around and look at the situation again. "

The situation is deteriorating faster than everyone imagined, and the leader behind it seems to be not satisfied with it.

A few days ago, "City Art News" once again published an outrageous article, exposing the event that Hong Yun Group banned outstanding young artists 17 years ago, and the protagonist of that event was Ge Qinzhou!

The author revealed that Ge Qinzhou was a student of the National Academy of Fine Arts and won the title of the best young artist in the country 17 years ago. Hong Yun had intended to sign a contract with him, but he refused because he could not bear the conditions proposed by Hong Yun. Turned into anger from embarrassment, he threatened to block him.After more than ten years, Ge Qinzhou's paintings had no chance to appear on the market. In the end, he just became an unknown part-time teacher, usually taking some students who like painting to earn money...

Ge Qinzhou's former classmate, Liang Yunqing, now an associate professor of the Printmaking Department of Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, also accepted the interview. Liang Yunqing said: "Qinzhou was the most talented person in our class back then, and he was also one of the few peers I admired. When he was young, he pursued freedom and unrestrained... It was his misfortune to encounter such a thing. I still remember deeply that when I persuaded him to take a step back, he answered me with a line of Li Bai's poem, "An Neng broke his eyebrows and bowed his waist." I don’t feel happy about being rich and powerful’... In such a realistic society, how many people can say such things frankly? Over the years, he has not changed, and it is said that he is also very satisfied with his own life. Life is just a pity for his talent, he should have done more in the first place."

After the incident was published in the newspapers, more artists were outraged, regretful, and angry. For a while, the whole country seemed to form a force to condemn Hongyun.

And at this time, Yishi Group, which stood side by side with Weiliu, also publicly expressed its position through the media: Signing unfair contracts with art practitioners in the early days was a wrong act in the early stage of enterprise development, but with the development of the art industry, Yishi Group This relationship is constantly improving, which can be reflected in the satisfaction survey results of contractors within the group over the years, and this satisfaction, Yishi Group is confident that they are in the leading position in the industry and do not respect artists Yishi has never done anything about freedom of thought and personality, and will never do it in the future.

At this time, I have to admire the handling methods of the public relations department of Yishi. If they do not turn against Hong Yun, it means that there is a possibility of friendly cooperation in the future, and admitting their mistakes in the early years and making a good statement can restore some of the lost popularity.

But Hongyun thought that the senior management was very angry after seeing the news: "The three major groups have been united to protect each other since a long time ago. Many industry rules are a mutual agreement, and the relationship between them is self-evident...Looking at the present, each of them knows how to protect themselves. !"

Hong Yun was hit by enemies, her image plummeted.Recently, no less than [-] people under the group have signed a joint request to modify the contract to improve their treatment, and several well-known artists have asked to terminate the contract with Hongyun. showed hesitation.

During the group meeting, someone said: "The pressure of public opinion cannot be the condition for these people to breach the contract at all. They should know how much responsibility they will bear if they breach the contract. This matter, if there is no one behind the guidance, it will never happen."

As if to confirm that person's guess, the next day, these co-signers sued Hong Yun Group in court due to a contract dispute, without giving the owner any room for maneuver!

At this moment, Xili City on the other side of the earth seems to be a completely different world.

The art creation competition in the name of Chris Fion is in full swing, and Xili, the location of the world's leading art academy, has been selected as the location for the preliminary competition and will soon welcome the contestants.

A week before the competition, the competition announced the format of the preliminary competition: three hours of improvisation, anonymously accepted by the jury, the winning works were selected the next day, and the right to object was open for a week afterwards.

This form has been recognized by most followers.The level of contestants varies from place to place, and among them there are many contestants who have been selected for cheating such as finding someone to write for them. Impromptu creation is the best way to reflect the artistic quality of the contestants. Anonymous selection can avoid shady events. Ensure the fairness of the selection results.

On the day of the preliminary competition, the Royal Academy of Arts was full of participating groups from all over the world. They gathered together in groups of three or four, either in colleges or countries.

In the corner of the entrance, a few Chinese-looking youths were carrying painting bags, listening to the teacher's instructions with serious faces. They are the three contestants selected by the China Art School Alliance.

"Three hours of improvisation has actually limited the form of the work to a certain extent. The contestants either win with painting skills or with creativity. No matter which one is, it is a test of the contestants' artistic skills, accomplishments and thinking. Just fighting skills, among hundreds of elite contestants, the winning rate is very small." The teacher who led the team said.

"That's right. Even the Royal Academy of Arts only selected ten students to participate. It is conceivable that these ten students are already the top of the top." Zhu Yu said not confidently.

Huang Chunyao said: "In fact, we also have advantages. We have the skills of traditional Chinese painting, which are not possessed by foreigners. Only by incorporating some traditional Chinese painting styles into our creations and showing our own characteristics can we stand out from the crowd."

The teacher who led the team said: "Yes, but don't forget that among the contestants, you are not the only one who knows Chinese painting. I heard that among the participating representatives of the Royal Academy of Art, there is a Chinese-French mixed race, whose Chinese name is Fu Tingxin."

Xia Jing: "Who is that?"

The teacher leading the team: "He is the nephew of Fu Rongguo, the president of Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, and the grandson of Fu Ran, a master of traditional Chinese painting."

Everyone: "..."

The teacher who led the team: "It is said that he is the most talented person in the generation of the Fu family. He painted from elementary school and was admitted to the Royal Academy of Art at the age of 16. This item, but he is also proficient in Chinese painting, and his Chinese painting was taught by his grandfather Fu Ran himself."

The three of them were speechless, and the teacher who led the team said: "Don't have too much psychological burden. I tell you this, not to make you lose confidence, but to hope that you understand that real art does not distinguish between good and bad. , don’t regard it as a competition, you just need to experience the process and show your strength.”

Several people nodded thoughtfully.

The protagonist in the conversation of the few people just now is in another corner not far from them at the moment. There are many friends gathered around him, and everyone is here to cheer him up.

Guo Zhekai: "Come on, Fu Tingxin, win glory for the country!"

Ke Jing sneered: "You are stupid, Fu Tingxin is from country A."

Guo Zhekai let out an "ah" belatedly, and said weakly, "Then... let's win honor for the school."

He Yuexi: "I heard that SAFale will also participate in the competition. I wonder if you will meet him!" They have seen the list of students representing the school participating in the competition on the school's official website, and SAFale is among them.

Fu Tingxin: "There are so many people, I'm afraid it's hard to see." Although he also wants to see the true face of SAFale.

"Ye Yufan didn't come?" Guan Hongze, who had been silent all this time, scanned around. Ke Jing and Guo Zhekai were there, but Ye Yufan was not there.

He Yuexi said: "He said he had something to do today and went out very early."

Soon it was time to enter the arena, and the contestants filed in, randomly drawing a number plate at the door, and the people they knew before were scattered away.

The one Xia Jing drew was 11-C, which was located on the third floor. She found the corresponding studio according to the signs, and found a vertical mirror standing at the door.

Before going in, Xia Jing narcissistically stood in front of the mirror and straightened her hair and collar...

The interior of the studio is divided into five divergent independent spaces, forming a circle. There is already a person there, and that person is sitting with his back facing him. B is 11-D. When he went around, the other party happened to turn his head to look at him, and seemed to be taken aback.

Hey, it looks like a Chinese! "Hello." Xia Jing tried to say hello to him in Chinese, the man nodded and said hello, but they didn't have time to chat, and soon three other contestants came in. As soon as the bell rang, everyone immediately opened the envelopes on the table.

The theme of the preliminary round was printed in English on the white paper, and it was translated into multiple languages ​​and listed below——

Please draw yourself.

Xia Jing was taken aback, is this asking them to draw a self-portrait?faint!No wonder there is a mirror outside the studio.

I made an appointment to restore the update with someone, and I came weakly with the lid on...
