Chapter 118 Attention from Publishing Giants

Gu Weijing regretted his blunder.

I once mentioned this sentence when recording Mr. Sloth's podcast, and now I say it in my own capacity.

There is some risk of being associated.

but……

Today is Tuesday, the salon program should be online now, right?

"Eh? I originally wanted to have sex with you."

Sakai Katsuko's eyes suddenly lit up: "It turns out that you have also listened to the new episode of Mr. Sloth's podcast."

"What a coincidence. In this new audio program, Detective Cat just mentioned a lot of papers we have read together... Don't you think we really have a tacit understanding with this sketch artist?"

Sakai Katsuko was amazed.

"Miss Katsuko, are you Mr. Sloth's audience?" Gu Weijing looked at Katsuko Sakai and made sure there was no other meaning in her words.

"Hmm, I've been following his program since the third episode last year. This is the highest quality English art podcast in my opinion in recent years. Even my father thinks Mr. Sloth's program sounds interesting."

Sakai Katsuko nodded.

She looked at Gu Weijing with a smile on her face.

The art podcast circle itself tends to be niche and professional.

Listening to a certain podcast is like listening to a less popular band.

Sakai Katsuko was very happy to find that Gu Weijing actually had the same hobbies as her in a tacit understanding.

"I listened to this Art Salon program on the car to school in the morning. I have to say that Detective Cat is really an amazing art master, especially the summary of Impressionism at the end, which warmly moved me."

Sakai Katsuko said softly.

"You like Detective Cat very much?"

Gu Weijing looked at the look on Miss Sakai's face.

He did not expect that this girl, who was hailed by the Japanese media as a once-in-a-century painting genius, was actually a fan of "his".

"Well, not only do I like her, I also respect her very much. I really hope to have the opportunity to meet this female illustrator."

Katsuko Sakai doesn't hide her respect for Detective Cat.

Her lilac eyes flashed with strange brilliance: "An Internet painter born in the art desert of the third world has such a profound understanding of serious art. I guess her art career must be very admirable.

."

Girls know the world is unfair.

Receiving the highest quality art education has always been within easy reach for Katsuko Sakai.

But in some parts of Africa,

You may not be able to find a professional studio within hundreds of kilometers.

A female online illustrator with a meager income makes a living by selling cheap illustrations for ten dollars a piece on the Internet. Through her daily study and hard work, she not only develops master-level sketching skills, but also puts forward suggestions for impressionist art.

Such a touching insight.

In Sakai Katsuko's imagination, the poignant story here could make an inspirational movie similar to "The Road to Harvard".

"Ms. Detective Cat is more admirable than ordinary art students like us. This is the soul that truly loves art." She praised.

Sakai Katsuko looked a little strange when she saw Gu Weijing's face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else..."

She suddenly remembered that the boy next to her was from Myanmar, and it was a little arrogant to mention the term "art desert of the third world" in front of him, which might hurt his self-esteem.

Sakai Katsuko explained apologetically.

"You are already great. After all, we are still very young. There is nothing to regret if we cannot compare with Detective Cat. In another thirty years, I believe your achievements will not be lower than this master."

Katsuko Sakai opens a desktop podcast software on her laptop.

"No, before you came to the study room, I was preparing to review this podcast episode again, and write a review after listening to it, and update it on my social account. Do you want to listen together?"

Sakai Katsuko plugged in the headphones on the computer, put on one herself, and handed the other to Gu Weijing.

Listening to the gentle female voice that he had processed with the voice changer sound card came from the headphones, which was a very novel experience for Gu Weijing.

Katsuko Sakai opens the audience comments below the podcast.

"Full of useful information!!! Timeline Command: 1. Detective Cat analyzes the painting techniques of "White Lake Baikal". (Time: 1 minute and 32 seconds) 2. Curator Tonks questions the shortcomings of the painting, and Ms. Detective Cat judges that the

The scene is taken from a photo.

(8 minutes and 19 seconds) 3. Detective Cat discusses... 19. Detective Cat talks about the aesthetic summary of Impressionism: (46 minutes and 31 seconds). Summary: This program has no spots in the whole process and is wonderful in every aspect. It is recommended to listen to it from the beginning.

Tail, don’t miss a second.”

Some fans have already made a timeline in the comment area.

"We only record sunlight and air... This sentence is so powerful, I was so moved that I almost cried." Someone left a message.

"It's too embarrassing, it's too embarrassing, it's too embarrassing. As a student studying oil painting at the University of Fine Arts in London, I declare that Ms. Detective Cat beat Curator Tonks. Her understanding of painting is really deep and clear.

.I suggest Mr. Sloth invite Detective Cat to be a regular guest. Even if it is changed to a paid program, I am willing to listen." A netizen named John gasly replied.

"It cannot be said that Detective Cat is a painter by profession, while Mr. Sloth and Director Tonks are art critics and curators. It is normal for Ms. Detective Cat to have a deeper understanding of the details of painting.

"

This is a more neutral and objective fan's point of view.

"Normal? LOL (abbreviation: laughed me to death), I am a professional painter. I am very responsible to tell you that Ms. Detective Cat's interpretation of these five paintings is no different from magic in my opinion. This

This understanding of art has nothing to do with whether Detective Cat is a professional painter, it is simply because she is awesome."

Some fans refuted this above.

Although the podcast has only been online for more than half a day, the number of comments has already ranked among the top of Mr. Sloth's previous programs, with the number of comments now approaching a thousand.

Gu Weijing saw that the comment with the most likes in the comment area was a reply from a self-proclaimed author of "White Lake Baikal". This comment had been liked more than 2,000 times.

"It's amazing. I only know of a few masters who can infer the environment in which the painting was made just from the final effect of the oil painting."

Sakai Katsuko looked at this comment and sniffed, "My dad may be able to do it, but I'm still far behind. I'm really envious."

Gu Weijing breathed out slowly.

It was an unexpected surprise for him to see personal affirmation from the artist himself in the comment area.

“It’s so amazing!”

"OMG!"

"It's unbelievable. Does this kind of judgment really exist?"

Following this explanation from the artist himself, many fans commented and posted to express their shock, and some even mentioned Van Dorn.

"Now, it's very embarrassing to switch to Van Dorn. Is this what he calls an illustrator of African monkeys? It's just that he can't draw as well as others, and he's like a clown who refuses to admit it. Van Dorn's fans continue to scold you! What you are flaunting

Is this the vision of a great artist?”

This time, no one spoke for Van Dorn under Mr. Sloth's podcast.

All previous disapproval and attacks on Detective Cat’s aesthetics before the podcast was launched were all transferred to Van Dorn.

The only good thing about this kind of professional art podcast is that the audience generally has a high level of art literacy, and you can tell by listening to it whether they are good or not.

"They don't dare to speak at this time. If I were Van Dorn, the best way now is to deal with it coldly and pretend that this matter never happened. When the limelight is over and people forget about this matter, he will still be his art.

master."

"It may not be so easy when the limelight passes. Please go check out the tweet Director Tonks just sent."

Sakai Katsuko also saw this news.

Ignoring Wei Jing's reminder, she clicked on the link below and jumped into the account of Director Tonks, the director of the Taylor National Gallery of Art who was certified by Twitter's blue V.

"Great artistic insight, refreshing, I love it." - This is a tweet Tonks just sent two hours ago.

Someone posted relevant photos in the reply comment area below.

The Taylor National Gallery is one of the landmark buildings in London. It was converted from a huge old power plant along the Thames River. It has a total of eleven floors, including the Sculpture Gallery, the Modern Art Gallery, the Dali-Picasso Museum, etc.

Waiting for hundreds of large and small exhibition halls.

The number of visitors every year ranges from 5 million to 8 million.

There is a silver nameplate in front of each independent exhibition hall to introduce the specific collections in the exhibition hall, accompanied by a promotional slogan.

Some of the slogans are quotations from painters, some are quotations written by previous museum directors, and there are even some funny jokes or symbols with unknown meanings in front of some modernist exhibition halls, which are one of the characteristics of the museum.

Many tourists or travel bloggers check in in front of these brands.
