Chapter 112 Am I a very kind person?
With the promotion of this blogger with millions of followers across the internet, the news became even more viral.
In the video, this blogger presented a conclusion that was completely opposite to what everyone else had:
“My thoughts are completely different from yours.”
“I know the person behind ‘Tia’. She is very young and very capable.”
"The fact that Tia's sales have declined year after year over the past five years indicates that there are problems with the internal management and that resources are not distributed evenly."
"And this newly appointed behind-the-scenes boss is clearly aware of the problems and wants to make changes."
"Unfortunately, reform requires bloodshed. She may not be accepted by the world now, but I believe in her abilities and I will definitely give Tia a better future."
These words clearly demonstrate that he is not following the crowd, and they have indeed gained everyone's approval.
But many more people joined the majority in mocking:
Come on, all the gallery's "star performers" have left, and you're still thinking about reform? Anyway, you all know each other, so you can just offer your support with empty words. In the end, the executives with ability, artist resources, and public support will definitely win.
This video received hundreds of thousands of likes, and its total views across the internet reached tens of millions in just one morning. Online discussion threads sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
This is clearly a blogger friend invited by Xie Junfei.
That blogger friend had prior knowledge of some inside information and spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart. Xie Junfei's actions were, in effect, a signal to that executive:
Now that you and your administrative team, and your clique of artists, have all left, I'm going to get serious too.
Sure enough, that afternoon, just as the art world was speculating about who would become the art director of "Tia" Gallery, "Tia" released information about its new art director, Wang Xiaoyun, on its official Weibo account.
Once the information was released, the voices of ridicule and skepticism completely fell silent.
As one of the earliest representatives of installation and video media in China, her works have been widely exhibited at home and abroad since 1990, and her exhibition in Paris that year caused a sensation throughout Europe.
Wang Xiaoyun's decades-long artistic career has earned her the title of "Master of Simplicity." As a woman, she is adept at condensing rich concepts and artistic charm into simple forms, expressing profound connotations in a concise manner.
The minimalism trend that recently became popular on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) has a lot of Wang Xiaoyun's influence behind it.
These experienced and influential artists, like a pillar of strength, firmly suppressed the doubts from the outside world for "Tia".
Even the executive couldn't believe that Xie Junfei had actually managed to invite such a powerful figure!
She was supposed to be a nouveau riche, and the Huo family was supposed to be nouveau riche!
Thinking of this, he was so angry that he smashed the cup next to him.
He had originally planned to set up his own business, seize resources, and slap Xie Junfei, that country bumpkin, in the face. But now that Wang Xiaoyun, a senior with a stronger reputation, experience, and background than him, has arrived, he has completely lost his luster!
Even now, let alone online, people in the art world are probably laughing at themselves!
After all, who doesn't know Wang Xiaoyun? A veteran in the art world, rich and powerful, and she loves to mentor younger generations!
Xie Junfei's well-prepared demeanor suggests that he had anticipated leaving with "Tia's" star performer and was already planning to cultivate new artists!
In addition to announcing the new artistic director, Tia also followed up by announcing two touring exhibitions after the new year.
One is the global tour exhibition of Ms. Guo Linjue, also known as the Second Madam, which will soon showcase more than 20 landscape-themed oil paintings. This time, Ms. Guo Linjue innovatively combines the traditional Chinese landscape theme of mahjong with Western oil painting for the first time, which is of great significance.
The second is Ms. Tina Heska, a painter friend of Xie Junfei. As a feminist who advocates for peace, this painter has recently gained even more recognition in China. In addition to the previously released paintings, she will also exhibit three previously unreleased works in this touring exhibition.
Furthermore, after the exhibition concludes, both artists will sign exclusive contracts with "Tia," which will then display and sell their paintings. Seventy percent of the proceeds will be donated to domestic charitable causes.
The moment the news was released, it was like a series of bombs, completely stunning the executive.
Anyone who has ever been in the art world knows the names Guo Linjue and Tina Heska!
For domestic galleries and organizers, even having just one celebrity from their own country can make them a fortune due to the celebrity effect, let alone two! Two of them!
Who exactly is the boss behind "Tia" that she can get so many big shots backing her up?!
The executive slumped into his chair, his mind blank.
We're doomed, we're really doomed.
He underestimated Xie Junfei! He fell right into her trap!
Thinking of this, he had just begun to consider backing down, but he quickly suppressed it.
No, I can't give up at this crucial moment.
So what if Xie Junfei is so amazing? I'm just as good as him!
Having been with "Tia" for nearly twenty years, I have accumulated countless connections and have nearly half of the artists under my command. In terms of experience, methods, and aesthetics, none of them are lacking. Why can't I take a chance?
At worst, he could just sell his luxury homes in Shanghai. Anyway, he could be the owner of this gallery, and once it's up and running, he could make much more money than he did at Tia!
By then, how many luxury homes won't be enough to buy them?
With that in mind, he immediately made a decision, contacted a real estate agent, and decided to sell his luxury home to find a location for his gallery before the New Year was even over.
Xie Junfei was naturally aware of the executive's every move, but he remained unmoved, only instructing his assistant to continue monitoring online public opinion.
The assistant was somewhat puzzled:
"Boss, why don't you press your advantage and expose that executive's true colors right away?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei chuckled and looked at her bewildered confidant across the video screen:
"Am I some kind of righteous person? Why should I indulge in a moment of verbal sparring and expose his true colors now?"
“If I expose him now, at most he will suffer social death and lose face in the art world, but he can still live in a mansion and drive a luxury car when he goes back.”
"After all, the things he did, including the 'star-making plan,' were all done using Tia's platform. If I expose him, Tia will definitely be implicated and have to make changes, which will waste a lot of time and money!"
After saying that, Xie Junfei smiled and said, "But it's different if he sets up his own business."
“Once he opens his own gallery and then has his artists collude with others to evade taxes, then it will have nothing to do with me or Tia anymore.”
"Then we'll act as concerned citizens of Chaoyang District, report them, and then beat them to a pulp. That would be truly satisfying."
Upon hearing Xie Junfei's explanation, the assistant suddenly realized what she meant and repeatedly said that she had learned something.
