Back to 80: My Literary Life

"Chairman Fang, I went to Xijing some time ago, and I went around the Furong Garden of the Tang Dynasty. I have a good understanding of the planning and architecture in that area. Xijing wants to create the beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty. I want to build an art museum in the future. It also needs to have a Tang style, but it cannot completely copy the Tang Dynasty architectural style, after all, we are a modern art museum.”

Fang Minghua nodded, he indeed thought so.

"Well, Chairman Fang, how about you tell me some of your plans for the art museum?" Liu Jiakun asked again.

“I want to exhibit mainly paintings and calligraphy from the Republic of China period, so I think the interior decoration of the exhibition hall should be based on Chinese elements. Of course, there must also be modern elements in it. I don’t want to feel like entering the Palace Museum when entering the exhibition hall. The positioning is completely different. In addition, there will be some modern painting exhibitions such as oil paintings in the future, but it is not good if it is too Chinese. "

Fang Minghua stated his request.

Liu Jiakun thought for a while and said: "In this way, the overall decoration of the exhibition hall can adopt the characteristics of the new national style. It not only retains the traditional Chinese style, but the decoration is more concise and natural, and the colors are softer. The three colors of black, white and gray are mostly used, mainly light colors. "

“The exhibition hall for rent is in a modern light luxury style, which is characterized by simplicity and liveliness, with mainly gray and white spaces so that the tone of each exhibition hall in the entire museum is relatively uniform.

Fang Minghua nodded after hearing this.

Then he talked about the functions of the art museum, such as art derivatives store, art book bar, coffee shop, artist workshop, multi-functional conference hall, etc.

Liu Jiakun listened very carefully and took out his notebook to write down all the ideas proposed by Fang Minghua. They chatted for more than an hour before ending the topic.

"Chairman Fang, after I return according to your opinion, our team will come up with a preliminary idea, and then immediately go to Xijing for on-site inspection, and finally come up with a plan. I will bother you again when we get to Xijing." Liu Jiakun said at last.

"It's okay, you can contact me when the time comes."

After the two left their contact information, Liu Jiakun was about to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, Zhai Yongming came over and greeted: "Jiakun, are you leaving now and not sitting here anymore?"

"Go back and work quickly. I know Chairman Fang is anxious to see the results." Liu Jiakun said with a smile.

"Okay, you're busy, let's talk some other time."

After Liu Jiakun left, Zhai Yongming sat down again with a solemn expression: "Minghua, Liu Jiakun contacted you through me and wanted to get this project. He and I are friends and I can't refuse, but you should seriously consider whether to adopt it in the future. After all, this is a big project.”

"I understand. After he is done, I will ask an expert to help with the review." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

Fang Minghua sat in the tavern for a while, then said goodbye and said he would return to Xijing tomorrow.

"What, why don't you go shopping in Chengdu? See friends or something?" Zhai Yongming asked.

"No, Shang Zhongmin and the others are probably busy with business, so I won't bother them." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

Zhai Yongming smiled after hearing this and said nothing.

In the afternoon of the next day, Fang Minghua took a flight back to Xijing.

Liu Jiakun also acted quickly. Five days later, he rushed to Xijing with three people, contacted Fang Minghua, went to Qujiang New District for on-site inspection, and had in-depth discussions with the leaders of the Development Corporation to listen to their opinions. A month later Just take out the preliminary design drawings.

Plans, elevations, sections, floor plans, elevations, sections, renderings and construction drawings, etc.

The art museum adopts a modern architectural style and incorporates elements from the Tang Dynasty. There are six floors in the museum, two underground floors and four above ground floors. The first underground floor is the storage area, and the second floor is the underground parking lot. Art derivatives store, art book bar, coffee shop, artist workshop, etc. on the first floor

The second and third floors are ten different exhibition halls, large and small, with different layouts. The fourth floor is the office area.

"Chairman Fang, I discussed with the construction company under Qujiang Tourism Corporation and decided to adopt a light film structure design construction technology in the art museum, which is composed of a metal skeleton and ETFE film material. The ETFE film is thin, uniform and thick. The light transmittance is very good, so the room can remain bright without turning on the lights during the day. Moreover, the ETFE film canopy uses ultraviolet filtering technology to prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging the human body.”

After listening to Liu Jiakun's talk, Fang Minghua looked at the renderings and felt very satisfied.

Of course, he was just a layman, so Fang Minghua used Jia Pingwa to find relevant experts and professors from Xijing Institute of Architecture to evaluate Liu Jiakun's plan.

Jia Pingwa is currently the dean of literature at Xijing University of Architecture and Architecture.

After evaluation by experts and professors, they believe that the solution design of Liu Jiakun's team is more scientific, reasonable and operable.

In the end, Qujiang Tourism Construction Company made a budget based on the design drawings. The cost of the entire museum is estimated to be around 90 million.

By the time the design plan was completely finalized, it was already mid-January 2005, and construction was scheduled to begin after the Spring Festival, at the end of February.

Today is January 15th, a Saturday. Fang Minghua, who has been busy for several months, is finally free.

The weather was nice, the sun was warm, and Fang Minghua was tinkering with his potted plum blossoms in the yard.

Song Tangtang also made an exception and did not go to the company to work overtime. He brought a wicker chair and sat in the small courtyard with a magazine, reading and basking in the sun.

"Has the specific time for the launch of Shengshi Film and Television been set?" Fang Minghua asked casually while squatting and pruning the branches.

"It's settled. On February 28, the day of listing, you have to go to the trading floor to beat the gong." Song Tangtang said.

"Oh, I want to go, but I don't have time." Fang Minghua sighed and said, "It was confirmed yesterday that the opening ceremony of the art museum is also on that day. I have to go."

"Minghua, you are doing this on purpose, right?" Song Tangtang raised his head.

"How could it be? I even asked someone to look up an auspicious date, and they said that February 28th is suitable for starting construction!" Fang Minghua argued.

Song Tangtang glanced at him and said nothing more.

The couple has been together for 20 years. How could she not know her husband's character? She hates to participate in such public events the most.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll go open the door." The little nanny in the living room ran out after hearing the sound. After opening the courtyard door, she heard a man's voice with a solemn Guanzhong accent.

"Is Minghua home?"

The nanny didn't answer yet, but looked at the strange man in front of her and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Xiaohong, let him in, an old acquaintance." Fang Minghua said and stood up.

"Who is it?" Song Tangtang asked in a low voice.

"Haha, you also know him, Wang Xijing, the president of Xijing Painting Academy." Fang Minghua answered with a smile.

Sure enough, a fat middle-aged man walked in and greeted the two of them: "Minghua, Mr. Song, are you busy?"

"Haha, nothing, tinkering with flowers." Fang Minghua clapped his hands and greeted.

Song Tangtang also smiled and greeted, and asked the nanny to pour tea.

"Go sit in the living room." Fang Minghua said again.

"No, the sun is good today, just in the yard." Wang Xijing replied with a smile.

Fang Minghua didn't force it, and brought a rattan chair from the living room. The three of them sat down, and Fang Minghua asked again.

"President Wang, you don't come to me for no reason. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, Minghua, you are building an art museum in Qujiang, right?" Wang Xijing asked.

This has been reported in the news, and Fang Minghua has nothing to hide, so he nodded: "President Wang, I will need your help when the time comes. You are an expert in the preservation of calligraphy and paintings."

"Haha, then I have no choice but to do it." Wang Xijing agreed very readily, and then said: "Minghua, after the art museum is built in the future, will you be responsible for the daily affairs?"

"Me? You know I am a lazy person. I am just a name in the Chinese Literature Competition now. As for the art museum, I think it will be the same. I will just put my name on it and then ask someone who knows the business to be responsible for the daily operation." Fang Minghua said.

"What do you think of me?"
