Chapter 284 Ability Evolution
"I can hear mines?"

Wu Tianyuan was ecstatic. It turned out that the Jiuding suppressed the dragon veins for more than 2000 years and had integrated with it.My own ability inadvertently absorbed the energy of the dragon veins, and I successfully upgraded it all at once, and now I can hear the sound of the mine!
"That's right, rich earth gas can produce mineral deposits, they are just like antiques, they are masterpieces of nature!"

Wu Tianyuan calmed down, what does the mine mean?Endless wealth and resources!

"At first I thought that collecting all the nine tripods would be the end, but I didn't expect God to let me just start!"

Many plans flashed through Wu Tianyuan's mind, lamenting the wonder of fate, first the auction house, then the museum, step by step let him accumulate resources through antiques, make contacts, and finally find Jiuding and unlock new abilities.

"But Jiuding can't be taken away, it still has to guard the dragon's veins, I dare not be a sinner through the ages!"

Wu Tianyuan sealed the entrance of the cave again, hid all the footprints, and left down the mountain.Said to find new clues, and took everyone to leave quickly.

"So how many of you are in this situation?"

Back at the museum, he suddenly discovered that he could hear the sound of bronze wares?The Jiuding suit chatted for a long time, each telling their legendary experiences.It seems that not only mineral deposits have evolved, but even antique abilities have also been upgraded.

"Huh? Can't absorb energy anymore?"

Wu Tianyuan touched the bronze vessel first, but there was no response.Then I picked up the gold and the diamond, but there was no response. Could it be that I can't evolve anymore?

"Forget it, I guess I can hear that the mine is exhausted, so make good use of it!"

Being able to hear mineral deposits is already a must-kill weapon. Many dreams of Wu Tianyuan can be realized. Treasure hunting is just a helpless move. After all, treasures are limited and cannot be found every day.Only self-reliance, creating a brand that belongs to oneself and the nation is the kingly way.

"Boss, this is the information from the polar bear, and it's not what you expected."

As soon as Wu Tianyuan arrived at the office the next day, he received the information from Wang Hong and looked it over carefully.

"I don't know much about the so-called modern art, but according to the inertia, several masters who are in full swing now have problems! Chen Dongsheng has already left, and the next step is to get Ullens out of China."

The top priority at the moment is to stabilize the country, and to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home!Chen Dongsheng's confidant's serious trouble has been eliminated, and Wu Tianyuan did not force him to death because he was considering the overall situation.Ullens is the next thorn in his side and must be removed in advance.

"Call Zhou Wenyan!"

Wu Tianyuan pondered for a while, and asked Zhou Wenyan to come back to test her understanding of modern art.

"The concept of contemporary art itself also comes from the West. The logical shortcoming of this concept is that from ancient times to the present, all works of art are "contemporary art" to their contemporaries. Only in the West after World War II, it was packaged As a "new thing" to the market. And China and other developing countries copy this concept, it is easier to go astray."

"In just a few decades, Chinese contemporary art has completed the path that Westerners took more than 100 years to complete. Due to the openness of information, even the latest trends in Western art, such as new media art, lighting art, etc. They all quickly found their replicas in China. The result of this development is that when you walk in BJ’s 798, Songzhuang, Caochangchang, Huantie and Shanghai’s M50 art district, you will feel like you are walking in New York and Berlin. There is no difference in Gallery Street, only the Chinese characters and Chinese faces that occasionally appear in the works remind you that you are in China."

Zhou Wenyan laughed a little: "Not long ago, several people in the art circle publicly commented: "Imitating the West is the only way for Chinese contemporary art. Not to mention whether this view is correct or not, holding this view itself reflects that many people subconsciously equate "contemporary art" with "Western contemporary art". We can ask, if our ancients also thought the same way , Can they create such a unique tradition of Chinese painting in the history of world art?"

Wu Tianyuan nodded. It seems that Zhou Wenyan has made a lot of progress. The front-line work has made her mature quickly, and she has her own aesthetic standards and judgment on trends. Not bad!
"The current imitation process of modern artists is just from learning and borrowing to novelty hunting, from imitation to blatant shameless plagiarism!"

"For example, Cai Guoqiang, who is famous internationally, exhibited the installation "Bumping the Wall" at the Guggenheim Museum in Berlin in 2006, which is obviously an imitation of Beuys's 1969 work "Wolves". The German language of Beuys' works The original name is "Das Rudel", the root of which is the meaning of skis, and the original English name is "The Pack", although the word "wolf" does not appear in these two words, the meaning of "wolves" has been included in it."

"There are no wolves in Beuys' works, there are only three rows of sledges, but when an Englishman or German sees the title of the work, he will naturally associate the sledges with wolves. This is the beauty of the work. Cai Guoqiang's The work obviously straightened the meaning of "wolves" as a metaphor in Beuys' works. In addition, the arrangement of wolves is exactly the same as that of sleds, and a barrier is set up at the end of the work like Beuys, so the two The similarity of the latter, in any case, cannot be "purely coincidental. "

"The ancient Chinese landscape painting is the best example. In the paintings of Fan Kuan and Li Tang, what you see is the landscape, but what you experience is the great feeling of the ancient Chinese about the "unity of man and nature". At this point In general, Chinese and Western art are common, including the reason why Beuys became the most admired artist in the European continent since World War II, and it is also inseparable from the almost mythical metaphorical power of his works."

"Taking wolves as an example, the sledge in the installation is a recurring theme in Beuys's creative career. It very vividly represents the human jaw. The jaw is the only part of the human skull structure that can move. Its Flexibility is closely related to human language ability. He used a sled as a metaphor for the human jaw, expressing the meaning that "human beings gallop in the spiritual world through language, just like driving a sled across the snow", which is very unique. Philosophical and poetic."

"Beuys also placed on each sledge a flashlight, a morsel of honey, and a piece of felt, which, as Beuys himself explained, represented "direction, food, warmth, that is to say, what is necessary for human existence. "The most basic thing". In the work "Wolves", three rows of sledges slide out of a car with the rear door open. Break away from the industrial civilization that is heading for a dead end, and look for a new direction of life. "

Zhou Wenyan retorted more and more excitedly: "Anyone who is familiar with Beuys knows that his works have always been modest, some utensils that seem to be picked up on the side of the road are carefully placed in the window or on the floor. , quiet and speechless, but it can make you feel the magic of a primitive society's religious ceremony. Although the imitator's works cost millions at every turn and use an overwhelming huge scale, they are superficial and weak in the eyes of those who understand of."

"The reason why Beuys's art has such profound power is inseparable from the fact that he is deeply rooted in the ideological tradition of the German-speaking area. Beuys had carefully studied Goethe and Rudolf Stein, the founder of anthroposophy, during his lifetime. and both are great thinkers who advocated the union of science and art, which is why science plays such an important role in Beuys' art."
