434、The more you know, the less people who know you.

In the creative arts area, even if you sell a coffee, you need to add some artistic flavor to it.

You need to distance yourself from selling pancakes and spread egg cakes.

Therefore, the series of photos hanging on the wall of this coffee shop are definitely not ordinary love, the common things that love are all bad.

Different walls are a set of architectural photos.

Senior Sister Mei was completely clear after just one look: "Mr. Pei's collection of works, this wall... is the Xiangshan Hotel in Pingjing, which is a relatively unfamous and successful design."

Wan Changsheng didn't even know this person: "Is it very famous?"

Senior Sister Mei smiled, fortunately she already had some understanding of Wan Changsheng: "It is very famous, a master of Chinese architecture. In the field of design, he designed the famous Bank of China Building in Hong Kong and Pingjing. You see, it is the one printed on the banknotes. The most famous in our art world is of course the glass pyramid he designed in the Louvre in France, and the center of the World Art Hall. If you ask a Chinese to design it, this is the top existence."

Wan Changsheng only looked back at the famous Bank of China Building and refocused the Xiangshan Hotel in front of him.

Senior Sister Mei knew it carefully: "Anyone who studies Western art does not know the Louvre pyramids, but designing a modern-style glass pyramid on the Louvre Square, which is full of classical art, was very controversial at that time. Hehe, it is much more debated than you have these days."

Wan Changsheng also laughed: "What am I?"

Senior Sister Mei nodded a little intoxicatedly: "Yes, when I saw you being scolded by the online and art world's comments, I guess you are so calm. Those comments from those people will not affect your progress."

Wan Changsheng quickly made a big move on the spot: "I dare not stop when you say this."

How could Senior Sister Mei stop her smile: "Du Wen is right. Only when she gets along well with each other can she know that you are more and more interesting... But here, Xiangshan Hotel can be said to be the only other controversy in Master Bei's life. The Louvre Museum finally became a classic, here... Anyway, it is just a four-star hotel now. Generally speaking, as a master of modernist architecture, he went abroad in his teens until he became famous in Europe and the United States. This was the first work he did not return to China to design in his sixties. He tried to combine Chinese and Western styles, but in the end he failed. It was not until more than 20 years later that he returned to China and designed the Suzhou Museum, which truly integrated the traditional oriental aesthetics and Western architectural wisdom. I have seen it, it was very beautiful."

Wan Changsheng nodded simply and firmly: "Okay, after this time, I will take a day to go to Gusu first, see it before going back to Jiangzhou."

Senior Sister Mei realized the importance: "Do you feel that much?"

Wan Changsheng nodded: "You said this hotel is in Pingjing? Can I book a room there tonight? Oh, no, I will go to the National Art Gallery tomorrow morning. Is it far? It sounds quite far."

Senior Sister Mei kept whispering: "If you have activities tomorrow morning, it's better not to stay there. This is the most congested place. Tomorrow night, if there is no problem staying there tomorrow night, I'll see if I can book a room first..."

Just as I was talking, following the coordinates of the mobile phone, some friends have arrived one after another.

Wan Changsheng asked everyone to sit down first: "Drink and chat, and see what delicious food is around here. Boss Du will eat and chat before we get there."

He continued to stand in front of the wall in a daze.

Naturally, my friends came over and asked him what he was looking at.

Wan Changsheng shared: "Looking at this photo, I look at this hotel hidden in the woods. It's very common. To be honest, I don't think it's good either, but when you look at the front photos of this hotel, it seems to be a little sculptural, like the house of our countryside landlords, right?"

The friend looked at his head: "It seems...wow, Master Bei's work, Niu Pi!"

Wan Changsheng is rare to criticize: "We should try not to be influenced by this reputation, and only focus on the work itself. The positive aspects of this work are also dull, but the characteristic that I noticed is to look there..."

On the other wall, there was a magnificent modern building. Someone jumped over and looked at the following words and sighed: "National Gallery of the United States! Master Bei's work."

Wan Changsheng had never read the small-character introduction: "What I want to say is, if you squint your eyes and look at these two photos, will you find that these two buildings are a bit similar?"

The number three or four people, including Senior Sister Mei, were really surprised to compare the left and right: "Oh, you really didn't notice it if you didn't say it!"

"Yes! The h-shaped shapes are all h-shaped facade shapes..."

"The National Gallery of Art... Let's take a look. It was designed in 1974, seven or eight years earlier!"

Everyone is studying design and art, so they still have the ability to summarize the body.

Perhaps without Wan Changsheng's sensitivity, it is more likely that he does not have his undistracted concentration.

If I weren't thinking all the time, how could I notice the graphics on the wall with my eyes?

Some people always attribute success to talent or background, but they don’t know who can see it when they work hard?

Senior Sister Mei was even more surprised when she sighed. She pulled Wan Changsheng to the other side. Maybe the seat could not see the location before, and found another building: "Pingjing's BOC Building Headquarters! I've seen it, and when you say this, I remember it, it is actually an H-shaped facade building at the root! These two facades at different angles are both H-shaped, which is a design that has been more than ten years later."

It’s impossible to say that the master is lazy.

Wan Changsheng’s focus is here: “Why is the pure modernist style designed for Americans with the same designer and the same H-shaped one designed for Americans? Well, the bank is also quite modern, but does Xiangshan Hotel feel like a combination of Chinese and Western styles?”

Everyone stood by the wall to discuss it. Fortunately, there were not many people in the cafe, otherwise they would definitely think of these snake sperm diseases.

But everyone has been with Wan Changsheng for so long and has become accustomed to this kind of academic atmosphere that can be discussed at any time.

Very devoted.

In fact, it is also very simple. If you erase the details of the window frames and wall holes on the Xiangshan Hotel building with strong traditional Chinese patterns, and let the exterior walls be cleanly eliminated, this building is really similar to the American Art Museum.

Senior Sister Mei was so amazed that she took a photo: "If I send it to someone who is a major in architecture, I might be able to write an article."

When we sat back together, Wan Changsheng concluded: "So I really want to go to see this hotel, and I really want to go to the Gusu Museum to see how such a master solves the problem of combining Chinese and Western styles. What was the idea at the beginning? Just simply add some Chinese elements to the modern Western style? So what is the final mature integration of Chinese and Western styles? This is a way to learn from others' ideas. How to solve the combination of Chinese and Western styles in architectural art? Can we use it here? Our creative architectural style, our sculptures, and even paintings, and...well, Chinese paintings and seal carvings can all be learned from. If they succeed, we can try this path that proves more reliable..."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Senior Sister Mei sneered: "Your undergraduate level... comes to Qingmei to study for a postgraduate degree. This is the maturity of thinking methods. It means understanding all the principles. Well, I have learned it too. When will you set off for Gusu?"

Everyone laughed at Wan Changsheng again and really thought about it and wanted to do it. The Spring Festival will be celebrated in more than half a month, and air tickets are not cheap.

Unexpectedly, Su Munan, who had been sitting next to her after reading the picture of her mobile phone, suddenly said, "Okay, I'll ask my family to take you to the Suzhou Museum, my house is next to you."

Everyone immediately realized: "Yes, yes, Teacher Su comes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang..."

"So Shenshen's hometown is from Gusu!"

"Gusu gardens are the best in the world. I just said that I will go and see them after leaving Pingjing in two days."

Unexpectedly, Gao Yunye interrupted: "What did you... call her just now? What do you mean?"

The friend who accidentally called out Shenshen was extremely embarrassed.

Especially when everyone looked at Gao Yunye's serious expression, they were very embarrassed.

Wan Changsheng rubbed his hands to smooth things over: "Teacher Su was responsible for seal carving courses in our school. Everyone liked her very much. Some students used Japanese pronunciation to call her. I think it was a joke, without any malice..."

Su Munan was shocked, and perhaps the most embarrassing thing was her, and the whole scene was a little cold.

Senior Sister Mei quickly followed up and interrupted: "Aren't we often joked about calling the teacher like this... I'll help you decide the room at Xiangshan Hotel tomorrow, right?"

Gao Yunye's face was very distorted, indicating that he really cared about the title: "I don't know you..."

At this moment, Du Wen's voice suddenly came from behind Senior Sister Mei: "Oh, who is going to book a room?"

Everyone quickly burst into laughter: "Yeah! He is ready to leave the masses and sneak into Xiangshan Hotel to stay!"

Just like this weird tone, Du Wen, who took the lead in walking in, was dressed very beautifully. She turned out to be a big red velvet jacket, and then tied the denim jacket around her waist, but under the denim jacket was a dark blue diagonal skirt, and finally white high heels!

This is all a messy way to build and wear.

She wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her face, and her tall bun, well, her thick black hair seemed to be dyed with a few strands of yellow or something, and there were a row of colorful small hairpins arranged on it.

Wan Changsheng felt dazzled!

But I feel that it is so beautiful!

A few Pingjing friends who couldn't wait to squeeze in from behind were hilarious: "It's easy for us! We walked with Dudu at 798, and the footage of the street shooting along the way was so eager to knock us out first!"

This is true. On the road outside the art area, people taking photos with mobile phones and cameras can be seen everywhere, which is called artistic creation.

Senior Sister Mei basically forgot the embarrassment she had just now, and looked fancy: "Big red! How dare you wear big red? The warm skin of our Asian women is not suitable for big red, but..."

Du Wen smiled: "Look, didn't I tie a scarf to separate the red from my face?"

The graduate student majoring in clothing can get it at a glance, and she wished she could take off Du Wen's scarf and big red jacket and try it out by herself.

I felt like Du Wen was inserting a sharp ray of sunshine, so bright that everyone didn't want to pay attention to the haze.

Gao Yunye and Su Munan were both impressed by this girl's appearance and dress.
