Chapter 528 A Hidden Pearl in the Ocean!
Shishi City, Academy of Fine Arts, Principal's Office.
"Old Xu, what did I say?"
After Guang Tongfu hung up the phone with Luo Xuning, he boasted to the gray-haired old man in front of him:
"I said that Xiao Luo is a rare genius in a century. Now you believe it!
For a genius, it is understandable that his personality is a little weird. What do you think?"
The old man opposite Guang Tongfu is Liu Taichu, the incumbent principal of Shishi Art Academy.
When Guang Tongfu proposed to make an exception to admit Luo Xuning as a distinguished professor of the Academy of Fine Arts, Liu Taichu was not very willing.
Make an exception to admit a newly graduated college student to come to our school as a distinguished professor?
If this matter gets out, it will definitely make a big fuss on the Internet.
Liu Taichu has always been a steady person. He does not seek merit, but only seeks to avoid mistakes. Naturally, he is unwilling to take the risk of rushing to the hot search to do something.
Guang Tongfu pestered him and refused to leave his house, which made Liu Taichu change his mind and admitted Luo Shuning as an exception.
After being admitted, Luo Shuning did not come to the Academy of Fine Arts to perform his duties for more than half a month.
For this reason, Liu Taichu was even more dissatisfied with him, feeling that this young man was too arrogant!
I have admitted you as an exception, why don’t you come to the school to perform your duties and report, and you haven’t shown up in the school for more than ten days?
Just when Liu Taichu wanted to withdraw Luo Shuning’s invitation, the video of Luo Shuning and David Osborne’s competition became popular on the Internet.
Guang Tongfu has always been very concerned about all kinds of news about Luo Shuning, and he took the video to Liu Taichu as soon as possible.
Guang Tongfu’s purpose is also very simple, that is, he wants to show off and tell Liu Taichu how excellent and awesome the person he has chosen is!
How powerful and discerning he is as a Bole!
"Hmm..." After watching the competition between Luo Shuning and David Osborne, Liu Taichu had no expression on his face, but he was extremely happy in his heart. All his previous dissatisfaction with Luo Shuning disappeared.
Unlike Guang Tongfu, Liu Taichu studied sculpture at the beginning. He is better at sculpture and pays more attention to talents in sculpture.
Originally, he thought that Luo Shuning only had certain expertise in painting, but he never expected that he was also proficient in sculpture!
What shocked Liu Taichu even more was that Luo Shuning was surprisingly talented in sculpture.
After watching the competition video between Luo Shuning and David Osborne, he himself sighed that he was not as good as him!
Talents in sculpture in China are quite scarce, and there are many reasons for this situation.
First of all, the employment scope of this industry is very narrow, far less popular than popular majors such as artificial intelligence, robotics engineering, marketing management, and financial accounting.
With the development of the times, fewer and fewer students apply for sculpture, and enrollment is getting harder and harder every year!
Secondly, the overall level of the domestic sculpture industry is not high. There are no internationally renowned sculpture masters to support it, and its appeal is not strong.
Another thing is that the domestic teaching model tends to be old academic, and it is more about teaching with traditional figurative methods.
The undergraduate sculpture major in many domestic colleges and universities has a five-year education system, which requires students to systematically master the basic modeling knowledge of sculpture art creation, urban sculpture design principles, etc., and learn the combination of Western classical sculpture techniques and traditional Eastern techniques. The courses are both boring and boring.
Some students who really want to learn sculpture and are determined to make a certain contribution in this industry are more inclined to apply for foreign sculpture majors.
The basic training of modern sculpture materials in Europe and the United States is ahead of China, and the creative atmosphere of art colleges is very free, and the course time can also be freely arranged.
And there is no limit on the graduation time of students. During school, there is still plenty of time to understand the art direction of well-known colleges and universities in Europe.
There is also more sufficient creative time to create works.
The level of professors in colleges and universities is also high enough to provide great help to students.
In short, the domestic sculpture major is a traditional and unpopular major, and it may not be possible to have a representative figure for many years.
Liu Taichu felt that Luo Shuning had great potential to become a banner in the domestic sculpture industry!
"Lao Guang, I think our Academy of Fine Arts doesn't value Xiao Luo enough! For a talent like him, just being a specially appointed professor is far from enough."
Liu Taichu looked up at Guang Tongfu and said seriously.
Guang Tongfu's eyes lit up after hearing Liu Taichu's words: "You mean..."
He introduced Luo Shuning to the Academy of Fine Arts. The better Luo Shuning develops in the Academy of Fine Arts, the more proud he will be as a mentor.
"I decided to appoint him as the vice president of our Sculpture Academy."
This decision was not made on a whim, but the result of Liu Taichu's careful consideration.
"Appoint Xiao Luo as the vice president of your Sculpture Academy? No! Absolutely not! I oppose! Strongly oppose!"
Guang Tongfu instantly exploded like a black cat whose tail was stepped on when he heard Liu Taichu's appointment of Luo Shuning.
"Old Liu, what do you mean? You're poaching people right in front of me! How can you do that?"
"Xiao Luo is a talent I discovered with great difficulty. He is the future of our Academy of Fine Arts!"
"I will never give him to your Sculpture Academy! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I know your Sculpture Academy lacks talents and representatives who can stand on their own."
"But you can't just snatch it from me! If you have the ability, go find it yourself!"
"When I strongly recommended Xiao Luo to our Academy of Fine Arts, you refused.
"It's good that you are here, you have discovered Ronaldinho's potential, and you are starting to compete for people from me, right?"
"Old Liu, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible! If you try to rob Ronaldinho, I will quit being the vice principal. You can go find whoever you like!"
"If you steal my Ronaldinho, our decades-long friendship will be completely broken, and no one will know each other from now on!"
Seeing Guang Tongfu who was furious and even threatened him with decades of friendship, Liu Taichu couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
The two have known each other for decades, and this was the first time that he saw his old friend, who usually did not change his expression even when the mountain collapsed, be so irritable.
After Liu Taichu waited for Guang Tongfu's mood to stabilize a little, he explained with a smile:
"Lao Guang, please don't get excited. I didn't say I wanted to compete with you for Ronaldinho. I promise, no one in our academy will compete with you for Ronaldinho."
"You want to accept that Ronaldinho will be the vice president of your sculpture school. Isn't that robbing someone? Then tell me, why is it considered robbing someone?"
Guang Tongfu waited for Liu Taichu angrily, with a look of anger on his face.
Liu Taichu smiled and explained: "I just said that I accept Ronaldinho as the vice president of our sculpture school.
I didn’t say that he must come to our Sculpture School to teach or leave your Academy of Fine Arts. "
"You accept that Ronaldinho will be the vice president of your sculpture school without having to leave our art school? What do you mean..."
Guang Tongfu raised his eyes to look at Liu Taichu, and after thinking about his decision, he felt surprised.
Liu Taichu nodded and said, "Yes, Ronaldinho is the distinguished professor of your Academy of Fine Arts and the vice president of our School of Sculpture."
"No! I object!" Guang Tongfu thought about it and felt that Liu Taichu's move was still a bit inappropriate.
Liu Taichu said angrily: "I have already made a lot of concessions, what else do you have to object to!"
"Ronaldinho is a talent that I discovered, and I introduced him to our Academy of Fine Arts against all objections. He was just a specially appointed professor at our Academy of Fine Arts, and now he has become the deputy dean of your Sculpture Academy. Do you think that he is a talented person in our Academy of Fine Arts?" Our art academy is not taken seriously?”
Guang Tongfu pointed at Liu Taichu and said with a look of sorrow and anger: "Old Liu, Old Liu, you are trying to kill someone! You are so insidious! What will Ronaldinho think of me if you do this! In the final analysis, you still want to rob me Ronaldinho!”
"Ahem, Lao Guang, please don't get excited. This matter can still be discussed..."
Liu Taichu didn't have that much thought, he just wanted to use his status and other titles to tie Luo Yanning to Shishi Academy of Fine Arts.
Guang Tongfu said with an excited expression: "This matter is beyond discussion! No one can take Ronaldinho away from me! Unless they step over my body!"
"Look at you, look at you, what did you say and what did you say just stepped over your body? Is it that serious!"
Liu Taichu really didn't expect Guang Tongfu's reaction to be so big, and he immediately felt dumbfounded.
"It's that serious!"
Guang Tongfu slapped the table and said seriously:
“One of the proudest things in my life is discovering a great talent like Ronaldinho.
Old Liu, do you know what I am most proud of in my life?
I am 69 and almost 70 years old this year, and Ronaldinho is the most talented genius I have ever seen!
There is no such thing as such a good seedling. If anyone tries to snatch it away from me, it will cost my life! "
"Lao Guang, don't get excited. No one will steal your good ideas, let alone kill you."
Liu Taichu explained seriously: "You just saw Ronaldinho's talent in sculpture.
Due to emotions and reasons, it’s not too much for me to accept his fate as the vice-president, right? "
"With Ronaldinho's talent, being a vice-dean is really not too much..."
After listening to Liu Taichu's explanation, Guang Tongfu felt relieved, as long as he didn't compete with him for Luo Yanning.
"However, I have one more request!"
"you say!"
"I should also mention Ronaldinho's position in our Academy of Fine Arts. To use your words, with his talent, it is not too much to be the deputy dean of our Academy of Fine Arts, right?"
"Old Liu, Ronaldinho's talent is very high. He is a talent that is rare in a century, but you must also consider the actual situation! He is only 25 years old this year and he is the deputy dean of two departments? What if this matter? …”
"What? I can be the deputy dean of your sculpture school, but I can't be the deputy dean of our art school? Either none of them, or all of them! Wherever Ronaldinho's strength lies, he is not afraid of being gossiped about! If anyone has Ronaldinho's strength, even if I, the vice-principal, make room for him, I will make it for him!"
"..."
"..."
Regarding Luo Yanning's position, Guang Tongfu and Liu Taichu argued for more than ten minutes.
In the end, Liu Taichu still couldn't defeat Guang Tongfu, a notorious "old stubborn donkey".
Liu Taichu smiled helplessly: "The 25-year-old dean of dual departments, although he is the deputy, is still shocking enough."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I believe that in the near future, Ronaldinho will definitely become a banner of our Shishi Art Academy!"
Guang Tongfu said with a longing look on his face: "From the establishment of the school to now, it is exactly 30 years ago. Our Academy of Fine Arts has always been an unknown person in China. This time, with Ronaldinho joining us, we will definitely have a blockbuster day!"
Liu Taichu smiled and said: "You are quite confident in Ronaldinho."
Guang Tongfu said with a smile: "Aren't you the same? I have met and contacted Ronaldinho several times.
You haven't even met him, yet you rushed to accept his fate as the vice president of your sculpture school! "
Liu Taichu laughed and said, "Haha, Bole often has a thousand-mile horse, but not always.
I am also cherishing talents, and I am afraid that our thousand-mile horse will be snatched away by outsiders!"
"Snatched away by outsiders?" Liu Taichu's words awakened Guang Tongfu, but he didn't think about it in that way.
Liu Taichu said, "Which school did Xiao Luo graduate from?"
Guang Tongfu said, "I remember hearing him mention it, it seems to be... Jibei University of Science and Technology?"
Liu Taichu said, "Xiao Luo was unknown when he was in the University of Science and Technology, a pearl in the ocean, but now he has made a big splash. If the University of Science and Technology knows the news, do you think they will take any action?"
Guang Tongfu nodded and said, "Absolutely! Who would let go of a talent like Xiao Luo?"
Liu Taichu said, "So, I took the initiative and arranged him in an important position in our Academy of Fine Arts, occupying him first and tying him to our Academy of Fine Arts."
Guang Tongfu smiled and said, "Old Liu, you are still very shrewd! I am not as good as you in this aspect of calculation, far from you."
Liu Taichu said, "I will personally supervise this matter, you should let Xiao Luo know first, so that he can be mentally prepared."
"Okay, then I will call him again." Guang Tongfu nodded, took out his mobile phone again, found Luo Xuning's number and dialed it.
…
Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling--!
Beijing, Union Hospital, Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Department Ward 808.
Luo Shuning was speechless after looking at the name on the caller ID.
“Professor Guang is too impatient! It’s only been less than half an hour, and the call came again!”
Luo Shuning thought Guang Tongfu called to ask about inviting David Osborne to the Academy of Fine Arts for exchange.
He hadn’t called David Osborne yet.
“Quick, quick, Fatty, use your phone to call Osborne for me!”
Luo Shuning waved to Wu Mingshi and asked him to help make the call.
Wu Mingshi didn’t mess with Luo Shuning on serious matters, and dialed David Osborne’s number with his mobile phone.
“Hello? Excuse me, what’s the matter?”
The call was connected, and David Osborne’s Mandarin with a Beijing accent sounded on the other side.
"David, this is Luo Shuning. I have something to discuss with you."
Luo Shuning took the call from the fat man and went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"It's you, Master! If you have something to say, just tell me. I, as a student, will never refuse!"
"No, although we are a master-disciple relationship, you can also refuse anything that goes against your will."
Luo Shuning first told David Osborne, and then told him that Guang Tongfu wanted to invite him to the Shishi Academy of Fine Arts for cultural exchange.
"No problem, I also want to see what kind of school can cultivate a genius like you, Master!"
David Osborne thought Luo Shuning graduated from the Shishi Academy of Fine Arts, and immediately agreed.
