Chapter 43 Media
The car was driving on a flat road, He Jingnian raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and continued to sleep drowsily leaning against the window glass.The bright sunlight scalded the eyelids, and many floating light spots interlaced and floated, gradually blurring the figure of Yuan Ci's voice that finally froze in the eyes.
This morning, when Shen Tangfeng came to pick him up, he looked back before leaving the hotel gate.
"Did you forget to take something?" Hearing Shen Tangfeng's question, his face became hot and he shook his head hastily.
Before getting in the car, he unconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, and finally saw it. Yuan Ci stood there in a very low voice, as if he wanted to say something to him, and remained silent.
But what else can the original speech say?Last night, after he confessed again, he still rejected him like before.But this time, the voice of Yuan Ci didn't stare at him with sadness or anger, nor did he pinch his shoulders to his chest, raving nonsense that he loved him.
He just... just looked over silently, with those beautiful eyes filled with moisture.No matter how many times you stare at it, you will feel that these green eyes are unbelievably beautiful.Magnificent colors and gorgeous textures are the most precious gemstones loved by the gods.
"In the future, if it's not for something bad, don't come to me again." He turned his back and looked at the wall, not him. "If you really love me, you should hope that I live well. We should have a normal relationship, and we should let go of the past and welcome a new life."
While saying these words, he never looked back, the only thing he could see was the shadow on the wall.Even if it was the original voice, the shadow was too dark to look good, so he would never be bewitched again.
The shadow has not moved, like a puddle of stubborn ink.It took a long time before it seemed to suddenly come alive, grow bigger, and then gradually shrink.Then, what came to my ears was the sound of the shoji door slamming lightly.
"despair."
Great, that's it.He was relaxed for a while, so light that his whole body lost weight.This feeling of being too light has continued until now. He leaned against the car window and sat firmly, but he seemed to be floating in space.
Space has no air, so no sound can travel.Even if the two are facing each other, they cannot hear each other's voices, they just open their mouths in vain, or sign language all the time.
Then, in the inaudible empty voice, in the opposite direction, slowly go away.
Because the medium that connects each other has long since ceased to exist.A medium that can transmit one person's voice to another person's heart.
After returning to the urban area, He Jingnian devoted himself to his work.Only when dealing with those precious and semi-precious stones can his heart be extraordinarily peaceful, and he will not be distracted by messy things.
As the only designer of S-level works at the Polit Jewelry Design Exhibition, his studio was already well-known at the beginning of its establishment.Compared with the same period in the industry, the orders received are much more, including some big customers who are keen on jewelry.
However, the orders he promised were not many.On the one hand, he has limited energy and has unusually high requirements for the quality of finished products.On the other hand, he will be selective about his clients.Only when the designer maintains a fairly consistent aesthetic resonance with the client, and can fully understand and agree with each other's ideas, can they jointly create a perfect work.
Therefore, even though there are only a few pieces of jewelry completed, each piece is unique and unique.Soon, his studio appeared on the inside page of the well-known jewelry magazine "MissPurity", which shocked the industry for a while.
It should be known that it is a rare event in the jewelry industry that a small start-up studio like him can be featured on the entire page of "MissPurity".What is even more unbelievable to colleagues is that the editor-in-chief Qi Wei personally helped him write the above article.
Qi Wei is a well-known big devil in the industry. He looks friendly and easy-going, but in fact, his requirements for jewelry design have reached a perverted level.The works of many long-established big-name designers are hard to catch his eyes, let alone ask him to come out and praise him personally.
He Jingnian was also shocked.When Qi Wei himself sat across from him and conducted an in-depth interview with him with a bunch of cameras, he wondered if he was dreaming.
After the interview, seeing that he was still nervous, Qi Wei smiled, shook hands with him, and said, "Actually, I met you once a few years ago. Work in Shengheng?"
He Jingnian smiled and didn't answer, it's not necessary to tell the other party that he has lost his memory, that would be too bloody.
"The game you participated in is still fresh in my memory." Qi Wei said with emotion. "Even as a bystander, I know that you are under tremendous pressure. After all, at that time, all the strong evidence was on the side of the plagiarism. Fortunately, with your true strength, you proved yourself to all those who don't know the truth."
He Jingnian frowned slowly as he listened.In the world of jewelry design, plagiarism is the worst crime, and he never thought that he would be involved in it.
"Do you remember which work of mine it is?" He tentatively asked, "Speaking of which, Shengheng has always attached great importance to intellectual property rights, and some people dare to do things like plagiarism that touch the bottom line."
"That's right, besides, the Window of Jidong is still the key exhibit that Shengheng promotes at the jewelry exhibition in cooperation with ROME." Qi Wei paused, watching him hesitate to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." He Jingnian said, "It happened so long ago."
Qi Wei sighed slightly, and said: "Actually, the former chairman has always been on your side, but he has a special status and a different position. No matter what he does, he must put the interests of the company first. .”
After the interview, He Jingnian turned on the computer to search for the news of the year.Sure enough, almost all the top media posted it, full of praise for Sheng Heng.
Looking at the whole article, it probably means that the son of an executive of the Shengheng Board of Supervisors revealed that he plagiarized his work, but he refused to admit it, and fell into a storm of public opinion for a while.The original speech did not express its position to defend itself, but adopted the method of live broadcasting the game, successfully reversed this evil event that greatly damaged the corporate image, and won a very high public reputation.
Looking at the computer screen, He Jingnian fell into deep thought.Did you really win?I'm afraid not.Even if you win, it is risky and risky.During the fermenting period of public opinion, he was stigmatized as a plagiarist, but as the chairman of his husband, he didn't say a word for him. In the eyes of the outside world, it was undoubtedly confirmed the fact of plagiarism again.If I was a little weaker and couldn't hold on, I probably would have given up my career long ago.
And, what if you don't win the game yourself?Creative inspiration is not something that can be said to exist, let alone in such a desperate situation.
Therefore, the real winner in that incident is really only Yuan Cisheng.No matter who wins, no matter whether he can prove his innocence or not, it is completely fine for Sheng Heng.What is it to lose one or two designers?Qi Wei is right, the position of the original Cisheng station is different from that of ordinary people, and the things that are valued are naturally different.
Suddenly, He Jingnian felt a sudden realization.It seems that until this moment, he realized with a sense of reality that the original voice was not, or not all, what he saw.Compared with the beautiful and fragile man who often exudes regret and sadness, the always invincible superior in the news is the real him.
He Jingnian moved the mouse, trying to close the browser page, but couldn't resist opening the photo again.
In the exquisite jewelry cabinet, the window of winter season is shining with soft light.Although he had no impression, he was able to confirm immediately that this was his own work.
Not for anything else, just because the little flower dog with big ears by the window is exactly the same as Snoopy.Even the uniquely shaped love pattern on the back has been reproduced vividly by fine craftsmanship.
The original voice must also be recognizable.
Unless he doesn't want to.
Not long after the interview was published, Qi Wei announced the top ten most powerful studios of the year in the latest issue of "MissPurity".Among them, He Jingnian's studio is on the list for the first time, and it is the only emerging studio that has been opened for less than a year.
At the end of each year, the release of this list is the focus of attention in the industry.How many designers have cut their heads and worked hard, just to occupy a place on it.Because, being on the list not only means that one's own strength has been recognized by the authority, but also a stepping stone to more opportunities to emerge in the future.
Whether it is high-end exhibitions or brand invitations, including those collectors, they will give priority to extending olive branches to the studios on the list.This includes an upcoming charity auction commemorating the bicentenary of the famous writer Troitsky's birth.
Troitsky is a great Russian writer who enjoys world reputation and has created many fairy tales that are well-known to every household.After his death, according to his will, his children donated all his manuscript fees to establish the Troitsky Charity Foundation, which has helped countless children in impoverished areas.
A few years ago, the charity was forced to close a dozen offices around the world and lay off nearly two-thirds of its staff due to financial pressures and multiple issues.When it was on the verge of being unsustainable, an anonymous rich man took it over, not only operating better, but also further expanding its influence.
This year, the foundation announced a partnership with MissPurity magazine. The two parties will select outstanding studios and invite them to design jewelry works based on the theme of the centennial birthday and auction them at the charity gala.
As soon as the news came out, the entire industry was shaken, and almost no studio did not want to fight for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Not to mention that every time "MissPurity" participates in a charity event, there will inevitably be a group of bigwigs coming to support it.The well-known name of this charity and the profound cultural and historical background behind it alone are enough to elevate this auction to the highest level ever.
It can be said that no matter which studio can design a piece of jewelry for this auction, it will definitely increase its value and status, and gild its own signboard and designer resume with a thick layer of gold.
Almost at the same time as the news was announced, all studios in the industry volunteered to send out applications.However, the conditions for the primary selection are already extremely strict, and it needs to be a studio that has been on the list.In addition, "MissPurity" also invited the world's top jewelry designer Eudora, who will comprehensively shortlist the previous works of the studio for further screening.In the end, among so many excellent studios, only two can stand out and design the jewelry for this auction.
"Niannian!" Zhu Jingyuan ran in, her little face full of excitement, "We have been selected! All the emails were sent just now!"
He Jingnian raised his head, but didn't realize it for a moment, "What?"
"It's a charity auction, and you asked me to fill out the registration form!" Zhu Jingyuan puffed up her cheeks, thinking that the boss of Niannian is really serious, and the emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs.
She comes from a good family background, and she is not in a hurry to find a job. He Jingnian's studio happens to be short of people, so she happily runs over to work as a designer assistant for him.Appreciating He Jing’s New Year’s painting design drawings, doing metalwork, and fiddle with colorful and bright gemstones with those slender white and slender hands every day is really a pleasing enjoyment.
Cough, sometimes I can witness the ultimate Shura field of Niannian's current and ex-husband.
Of course, work comes first, that's not the point.
"In addition to us, Qian Mingquan's studio was selected this time," Zhu Jingyuan said.
He Jingnian nodded, not surprised at all.Compared with his new start-up workshop, Qian Mingquan's studio is one of the most powerful in the industry, and this year it even topped the list of strengths.Moreover, as the founder of the studio, Qian Mingquan not only has profound qualifications and rich experience, but also has strong resources and a high reputation in the industry, which is by no means comparable to him.
"Niannian, this is the timeline I made, please take a look." Zhu Jingyuan handed over the form, "Our time is still very tight. In addition to regular links such as grinding design drawings, we also need to allocate enough time to communicate with those collections. deal with the family."
The nature of making jewelry for auctions is completely different from that of receiving orders at ordinary times. It is not a business but a public welfare, and it is purely subsidized if it does not make money. All costs must be borne by the studio itself, including labor costs, gold costs, design costs, and so on.
Everything else is fine, but finding the gemstones that are the protagonists is the most troublesome.Generally speaking, there are two main factors that determine the upper limit of the price of this piece of jewelry in the auction house. One is the design value, which depends on whether it has profound ingenious ideas and exquisite craftsmanship.The second is whether the gems inlaid on it are precious and rare enough, with incomparable appreciation space.
However, things like gems, especially top-quality gems, have always been hard to come by, and it is not easy to have money.What's more, He Jingnian has no money at all.Therefore, he can only find a way to contact those big collectors to see if they are willing to cooperate with him to provide bare stones for this charity auction.
"I'm ready to work overtime, we must win in style and level!" Zhu Jingyuan clenched her fists and said.
He Jingnian looked at her in confusion, "This is not a competition."
"It's not a competition, it's better than a competition." Zhu Jingyuan said, "There will only be works by you and Qian Mingquan at the auction. It's completely clear which one is better from the final transaction price. I don't want us to be compared."
He Jingnian shook his head, "You can't have this kind of mentality to do good deeds."
"However, Qian Mingquan, who claims to be a senior, is really annoying." Zhu Jingyuan said, "He told people more than once, what qualifications do we have to be on the power list, if we want awards but no awards, if we want works but no works. It is still the second place. Oh, it’s only one place away from him as the number one!”
It's not that He Jingnian has never heard of these gossip, but he doesn't take it seriously.If others want to say it, can he still stop others' mouths?
"Just listen to it, there's nothing to worry about."
"However, he also went to harass Eudora and Qi Wei, questioning whether there was a black box operation in this auction. Because he thought it was impossible for us to be equal to him." Zhu Jingyuan was annoyed, "It is said that Qian Mingquan did such a thing Not once or twice, he hates rookies the most, and several rookies who had a good momentum before were left behind by him like this. He relied on his high status in the industry, background, and strong connections, so he casually destroyed Lose someone else's future."
He Jingnian sighed, "Whether it's true or not, we can't change anything, we can only do our best to do our own things well."
Zhu Jingyuan took out her mobile phone and clicked on a WeChat group chat.As a gossip expert, she has been lurking in various groups all year round, spying on the latest trends.
"look."
He Jingnian poked his head over and saw Qian Mingquan posted N messages in a group of hundreds of designers:
"Thank you everyone. Actually, being selected to make jewelry for this charity auction is something that I expected. I believe in myself and all the members of our studio. work."
"Of course, our efforts are not only for charity. Troitsky is also a great writer who I personally like very much."
"His works are full of compassion, and every time I read them, I can feel a kind of power that shakes my heart, and I internalize it as the driving force for my creation."
As soon as it was sent out, the group licked it cooperatively.As expected of Teacher Qian Mingquan, we are on the first floor, and you are on the atmosphere. Whether it is the layout or knowledge, it is different from others!
"Thank you everyone, really thank you, I am beyond words, really."
"Friends who are familiar with me know that Mr. Troitsky has always been my life mentor. I sincerely and even more sincerely hope to use my true strength to present the most sincere and clean works for his birthday .”
"Also, I know that a certain colleague relied on some special methods to get an opportunity that did not belong to him. It's a done deal, so I can't say anything more. I just feel heartbroken, for the industry, and for other colleagues."
He Jingnian looked at Zhu Jingyuan anxiously, "A certain colleague refers to..."
On the screen, Qian Mingquan's message popped up again:
"I'm a straightforward person, and I'm not afraid of offending anyone. Everything is just a matter of reason. Even if the former chairman wants to help someone, he can't ignore the atmosphere of fairness and justice, right?"
"Forget it, don't mention it. We are all unknown people, and we have no luck to rely on the big tree of Shengheng. I can only advise the wife of the former chairman to do things for herself, at least to be worthy of my conscience and the most basic profession. Conduct."
He Jingnian slapped the jewelry pliers on the table, "I'm sick! Why are you bringing me together with Yuan Cisheng again?"
"To tell you the truth, who was really innocent and was cueed, Sheng Heng didn't participate in this auction at all, okay?" Zhu Jingyuan also felt that the curly-haired ex-husband was really wronged. "It's strange to say that the first choice that the Foundation wants to cooperate with this time is Sheng Heng, or in other words, it is for Sheng Heng. People in the organization don't expect Sheng Heng to really agree to be the organizer. Just ask for a name. What a great thing, a corporate CSR with no money or effort, but Shengheng refused it."
He Jingnian seemed to be listening but didn't make a sound, and continued to fiddle with the small stones.
"I heard from the gossip that when someone heard the name Troitsky, his face turned green, and he said on the spot that he hated his works the most, and the legs of the executives around him were so frightened that their legs went limp." Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help being curious, " Niannian, do you know why?"
He Jingnian grabbed the sharp jewelry pliers and said indifferently, "No."
"Don't get excited, put down the murder weapon." Zhu Jingyuan sat down and graded the matching stones on the plate with him, picking and picking like vegetables.After picking it for a while, she suddenly said with emotion, "It's good to leave."
"..."
"I really have to leave, I can't want to. That one is likely to gain weight in middle age in the future."
"……What?"
"Whoever is mixed with Lao Maozi's blood, he must get fat when he gets old, and maybe he will be bald."
"... Work, stop talking nonsense."
"I'm serious, don't you believe it." Zhu Jingyuan asked again, "Do you know orange cats? Nine out of ten orange cats are fat, and there is one racing elephant."
"Knowing is knowing..."
"That can't be done. A cat with a little orange on it can be raised into a pig, and no one can escape that."
He Jingnian raised his forehead, "I have nothing to do with him, and I don't want to hear about him anymore."
He really didn't want to hear it any more, just hearing the name would make him tired and bored.Zhu Jingyuan was right, it couldn't have been more correct to separate herself from Yuan Cisheng at the beginning.In the final analysis, I and him are people in two worlds, unable to communicate, unable to understand, and what I value, compared with the commercial interests in his eyes, are not worth mentioning at all.
It's really ridiculous, but this kind of person keeps repeating the love and sincerity that shouldn't be easily expressed. Is he worthy of saying such words?
He Jingnian was arranging the finely divided matching stones, his mood suffered, and the more he left, the more irritable he became.He simply gave up this kind of tough work, and turned to study the design of this auction.
Before starting the design, he went to the bookstore and bought a bunch of Troitsky's books to read.It's okay if you don't watch it, but you will feel even more depressed after watching it.This great writer is a real BE maniac, the book is tragic, Zhu Jingyuan started to cry after turning a few pages.
"When I watched "The Peacock Prince" when I was a child, I still thought it was a story with a happy ending, but I didn't expect it to be so sad."
He Jingnian looked at the cover of the fairy tale. On the magnificent castle tower stood the beautiful and proud little prince.He was wearing noble and gorgeous clothes, and the long cloak stretched to the ground, just like the tail feathers of a peacock hanging down behind him.The heavy crown presses the thick curly hair like clouds, and the jewel-like green eyes project a clear and sharp light.
In the upper left corner of the very inconspicuous cover, in the shadow of the luxuriant tree crown, there is a small gray sparrow that looks like a pompom.
Seeing He Jingnian staring at the book with a strange expression, Zhu Jingyuan wondered if he had a sudden inspiration, but the next second she saw tears welling up in his eyes, wet the smooth hardcover cover.
A big tear fell on the face of the little prince, like transparent pine resin, wrapped him into beautiful amber.
"Niannian...? Why are you crying?" Zhu Jingyuan hurriedly handed him a tissue.He Jingnian pursed his lips and said: "When I was young, my mother also gave me a picture album of "The Peacock Prince". I really like it. I have read it many times and regarded it as a treasure."
Zhu Jingyuan was sad, "The one I bought in elementary school has disappeared, do you still have that one in your possession?"
He Jingnian shook his head, "I don't remember."
Although I don't remember, the moment I saw this fairy tale, my heart was full of thorns, and as the heart contracted, one by one was deeply pierced into the blood vessels, flowing all over the body.
It hurts to breathe, how can it be so painful.It seems that everything about "The Peacock Prince" has become a part of his flesh and blood.Cutting off the flesh and blood, naturally it will be painful.
"I've decided." He raised his hand to touch the cover, "The items in this auction should be based on this story."
