When Calatrava sat down again, Ye Tian continued:
“The top-quality antique artworks in my hands now are mainly divided into two categories, antique artworks from China and antique artworks from the Western world. The quantity is considerable, and each piece is a treasure.
In addition, I also have some antique works of art from other countries and regions, such as antique relics from ancient Egypt and antique relics from various periods of Indians. The number is relatively small.
In view of this, I plan to divide my private museum into two parts, the Chinese Pavilion and the Western Culture and Art Museum. In these two major exhibition halls, there will be many unique exhibition halls.
From this point of view, I want to build my own private museum into a cultural and museum institution that integrates Eastern and Western culture and art exchanges and harmoniously coexists, unlike all other museums."
"Wow! It is completely conceivable that once your private museum is completed, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. I am becoming more and more interested in this design business!"
Karatva said with emotion and in a rather excited tone.
His two assistants and several staff members also had their eyes shining with excitement.
These guys know very well that as long as they successfully win this design business, their architectural design firm will definitely make a lot of money.
Who doesn’t know? This guy Steven has a lot of money and is famous for his generosity. He will definitely spend no expense in designing and building his own private museum.
One more thing, once this private museum is completed and opened, it is likely to become another classic and one of the new landmarks of ancient Beijing!
Ye Tian nodded slightly and continued to smile:
“As for the design and construction of the museum, my museum is mainly divided into two parts, the China Pavilion rooted in Chinese culture and full of Chinese elements, and the Western Culture and Art Museum derived from Western culture.
I plan to leave the design and construction of the China Pavilion to China’s top architectural design team. Only Chinese people know best about the five thousand years of Chinese civilization and know how to perfectly display Chinese antiques and cultural relics.
As for the design and construction of the Western Culture and Art Museum, I plan to hire some of the world's top Western architectural design masters to design and open the bidding. Only the most outstanding design plan will win the bid.
Whether it is the design of the Chinese Pavilion or the Western Art Museum, I will participate in it and put forward my own opinions. After all, this is my private museum, and I am confident that my art appreciation ability is not bad.
In this museum, I hope to see the harmonious coexistence of Eastern and Western culture and art, the complementation of Eastern and Western architectural and decorative arts, and the brilliant sparks of the collision between ancient civilization and modern technology.
Specifically, when it comes to exhibition halls and exhibition halls, each exhibition hall has its own distinctive features according to different themes. Only in this way can the antique artworks displayed in the exhibition halls shine with the brightest light of civilization.
I want every aspect of this private museum to be perfect and unique! All of them can bring a pleasant feeling to visitors. I hope to achieve the effect of changing scenery with each step and bring people a sense of freshness at all times."
Hearing this, Calatrava suddenly fell silent and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he spoke:
"Steven, the business of helping you design and build a private museum must be very profitable, and it is indeed very tempting, but I'm afraid our firm cannot accept your commission.
The reason is simple. I am not used to cooperating with others to design and build an artistic building. In that case, I am worried that my design plan will not be fully realized.
And I am not a person willing to compromise. Because of other factors beyond my control, I have to change my design plan. This is my consistent insistence. I hope you can understand."
Calatrava's words made everyone at the scene very surprised except Ye Tian. Everyone looked at him, including his assistants and office staff.
What a fat piece of business this is, so you just refuse it?
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said calmly:
"Santiago, I haven't finished the introduction yet. After I finish the introduction, I believe you will change your mind and accept this business. It would be a pity if you still refuse!
Let’s talk about the Western Culture and Art Museum. This large exhibition hall is divided into many exhibition halls of different sizes. The first one is the Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman Sculpture Art Museum.
In this ancient Greek and Roman sculpture art museum, many exquisite sculptures from the ancient Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman periods will be displayed.
The most famous and valuable sculptures are from the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic period, and are their representative works.
After looking at all the top museums in the world, no matter whether it is the Louvre, the British Museum, or the Metropolitan Museum, no museum has so many top-notch ancient Greek sculptures.
Especially for the works of the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic period, these top museums do not have even one, and they can only regard the "Venus of Milos" as the most precious treasure.
The ownership of "Aphrodite of Nidas" that we previously discovered and salvaged from the Ionian Sea and is currently on display in the Hall of Beauty at the Metropolitan Museum belongs to me.
Compared with other ancient Greek sculptures I own, this statue of the goddess of beauty from Praxiteles, one of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era, is not the most outstanding.
Let's put it this way, at the entrance of the Western Culture and Art Museum, that is, the entrance of the Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman Sculpture Art Museum, I will erect a very special giant sculpture.
This giant marble sculpture was created by Phidias, the leader of the three major sculptors in ancient Greece and known as the **** of classical sculpture. It symbolizes the beginning of Western civilization and is unique! ”
Before he finished speaking, the scene immediately exploded.
Calatrava jumped up from the sofa as if he was electrocuted. His eyes were as wide as cowbells and he stared at Ye Tian closely, his eyes full of incredulity and madness.
The same goes for the guys who followed him. Everyone's eyes were so wide that their eyeballs almost flew out of their sockets.
Strictly speaking, these architectural designers are also engaged in art, and they all have the style of artists.
Having grown up with Western art education, they don’t know the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era, and they don’t know the greatness of Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture!
What Ye Tian said is absolutely correct. The source of Western civilization is ancient Greek civilization.
The representative work of Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture, can be regarded as a symbol of the beginning of Western civilization, and its importance is self-evident.
In comparison, the famous "Venus of Milos", the centerpiece of the Louvre, is simply not enough!
"Stephen, did I hear you correctly? You have sculptures from the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era? And you also have the representative works of Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture. This It’s so crazy and incredible!”
Calatrava asked excitedly, even his voice was trembling slightly.
Ye Tian nodded slightly and said decisively:
"You heard it right, Santiago, I do have representative works of the three major sculptors of ancient Greece and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era. "Aphrodite of Nidas" in the Metropolitan Hall of Beauty is one of them.
There are also two bronze sculptures by the master Leusippus, "Head of Plato" and "Head of Socrates", as well as another marble sculpture, "Hercules Killing the Nemean Lion" 》.
These are only a few representative works of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era that are known to the outside world and that I own. There are also some more precious ancient Greek sculptures that have not yet appeared in front of the world.
When my private museum is completed, these priceless ancient Greek sculptures will be unveiled collectively and displayed in the Western Culture and Art Museum and the Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman Sculpture Art Museum.
They will show the origin and beginning of Western civilization to all visitors. Their collective appearance will surely shock the entire world, attract countless attention, and also attract research by countless experts and scholars.
As far as the collection of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture art is concerned, I can definitely say that my private museum is absolutely unique. There is no other museum in the world that can compare with it.
The most shocking of these ancient Greek sculptures is the giant sculpture of Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture. It will stand at the entrance of the Western Culture and Art Museum, with the entire Western civilization behind it.
Now, what this great sculpture, and other great sculptures from ancient Greece and the Hellenistic era, need most is a beautiful exhibition hall that matches and contrasts with their value.
In my opinion, there are very few people in the world who would not be moved by these priceless treasures. I also believe that there must be many top architectural designers who are willing to design the most beautiful exhibition hall for them! ”
Before he finished speaking, Calatrava directly interrupted Ye Tian’s words and said excitedly:
"Steven, I will take over your design business. I will definitely be able to come up with the most perfect design plan and design the most beautiful museum!"
Hearing this, the smile on Ye Tian's face suddenly became even brighter!
