A few years ago, I accidentally walked into an art gallery in Caochangdi, Beijing. It was a solo exhibition of an artist, mainly oil paintings, so I could see...
The trailer of "Velvet Circular Saw" was recommended to me by Taro, saying that this is simply an oil painting version of Liao Zhai!
I finally waited until it went online and finished watching the feature film. Taro asked a question from the soul: Why is it called a velvet circular saw? I……
The film can be described in eight terms: novel themes and boring stories.
Most of the main characters in the story are people who are not directly involved in artistic creation, but they all profit directly or indirectly from art. It can even dominate the market value of art and the future of the artist.
Originally the subject matter is very novel...but...
At the beginning of an art exhibition, various gods and ghosts appeared one after the other, not only showed their faces, but also buried a lot of characters in the lines that are related to future films.
This kind of arrangement is very unfriendly. You have to remember many names in a short time, no less than memorizing words...
In order to facilitate memory, the entire camp can be roughly divided into four categories.
Simply summarize:
Artist, responsible for artistic creation;
Critics, critics of artists and works of art;
Agent, mainly responsible for the sale of contracted artists and their works;
And other horses...
One of the two artists has passed away, and the other has a bright future.
The critics are very pure, and no one is a bird.
The agent's goal is simpler-to make money.
Ma Tsai...a scheming, a long tongue, and a self-righteous one.
For the zero-sum game of the market value of art commodities, a battle between gods and demons was staged.
It was supposed to be a stunning opening, but it was tragically reduced to a prolonged and chaotic spokesperson.
After enduring the group play, the cheating girl accidentally discovered a large number of works by a dead artist at the beginning.
These things that shouldn't belong to her have brought her great wealth.
The boss's attitude towards her took a 720-degree turn. From then on, Ma Tsai became a rich woman, drove the most beautiful sports car, and became the most popular artist.
But at the same time a series of strange things happened, and these people who profited from art were killed one after another.
Then... the movie is over.
Ah? You said that what I wrote was boring... Then you can rest assured that the movie is more boring than what I wrote...
The viewpoints scattered in the film are very eye-catching, but unfortunately they couldn't be strung together. I really want to show them.
The most innocent thing in the whole film is the artwork.
It is very interesting that there are many perspectives. The subject to be appreciated and observed is not a work of art, but a human being.
After the subject and the object are reversed, there is a feeling of "If I don't speak, I will silently watch you pretend to be B".
When artworks cannot speak for themselves, comments become the vane of all artworks.
The agents do everything they can to spy on the direction of the comments, so that they can make a fortune.
Those wealthy buyers have lost the ability to experience and feel art.
Collecting artworks is just to show "taste" and play a stinking game.
A bag of rubbish in front of wind reviews and the market may also become a work of art.
Who gives the value and price of art?
Before we understand this question, we need to know another concept, what is art.
Baidu Encyclopedia has this explanation:
Art can be defined in terms of philosophy and science: "Philosophy" is to provoke controversy, and "Science" is to stop controversy. "Art" is the abstract entity of philosophy and science. (English: Art) Sometimes referred to as fine arts or fine arts (English: Fine Arts) refers to the fusion and balance of comprehensive human factors such as skill, willingness, imagination, experience, etc. to create artifacts, environments, images, actions, or The expression mode of sound refers to the process by which humans who share beautiful or profound emotions and consciousness with others express their existing perceptions and precipitate and show personal or group experiences.
You see, such a long explanation didn't explain it clearly.
Since art has so much flexibility, it must be profitable!
As for the superstructure, it symbolizes financial resources, identity, and accomplishments.
Let art be the most beautiful boy.
When art is dressed up and packaged by the business mother, it is difficult to find out what reasonable price it should have.
The pursuit of high premiums is the instinct of the market.
This is why some people rack their brains to hype artists and works of art.
After all, you bought a lump of shit for 1 million, so it’s not funny!
Even if it’s a stubborn shit, it’s a unique shit. It’s also shit that is out of low-level interest. It’s also a special shit. It’s also a shit that gives a lofty meaning. It’s also a shit that has been condensed. What's more, there may be corn kernels and shit in the shit. Flammulina these added value. You spent 1 million!
Mr. Chen Danqing has a program called "Partial".
In it, he talked about the understanding of art, which showed everyone's mind.
Mr. Guo Degang also has a program called "The King of Pit is Arrived".
It also talks about his understanding of art, which is also full of wisdom.
In the secular life, sometimes art=not understand, art=pretend to be grandson.
There is no way, after all, some so-called artists are really trying to gain fame and pretend to be X.
In this way, art is a bit different.
My understanding of art is relatively simple, at the very least, it must be thought-provoking and emotional.
Judging from this review, the art installations in the film are all great.
As for the artist's work that made everyone fascinated.
In my interpretation, an artist spends his entire life's perception, understanding and experience of life, either painful or tortuous. It is equivalent to creating with all your hard work. However, letting it spread in a utilitarian way is the biggest insult to art.
So those people are belching...
How should art be priced?
The director gave an answer at the end, which may be a bit extreme, but it is thought-provoking.
It’s okay to watch this movie at 2x speed...
But there are still golden sentences
PS: So here comes the question, who can answer the question from the soul.
Why is the film called "Velvet Circular Saw"? (Not to mention the name of the band)
