70. Wu Hao
"Have I seen you before..." Ang Lee nodded with a smile.
He has drawn several figure sketches, the first one is Lin Chaomu, the second one is the waiter senior at this cafe, and the other is Ran Xin in front of him.
If you want to say it, this painting is the most satisfying to Ang Lee because it was the first figure sketch he drew after obtaining the skill of [Sketch Specialization]. It was indeed not comparable to the original [Introduction to Sketch]. Even if this painting is placed in Beijing Art, only those teachers who teach sketches should have this level.
The reason is that this painting depicts the character's expression, which is a deeper level above the entry point.
The slightly frown brows and thoughtful eyes were simply painted as if they could not be so vivid, so that laymen would know that the characters in the painting were thinking and focusing at first glance.
"Although I also learn to draw, I have to say that I will definitely not be able to keep up with your sketching level." Ran Xin said in amazement. Interior design is also a type of art, and it also requires a foundation in painting, because designing means drawing the ideas in your mind first.
So a great designer is also a very powerful painter, and she thinks that her painting skills are actually pretty good. She can describe something in detail so that customers can see if the thing is placed in this position at a glance.
But Ang Lee's sketch is a simple sketch, without any intention in it, it is completely pure art. Not to mention the vivid and vivid ideology, even the basic skills of sketching are better than hers.
"You can't be a painting student, right?" Ran Xin looked at Ang Lee and asked in confusion. It is difficult for amateur painting enthusiasts to reach this level. They can only be achieved through systematic training and long-term practice. After all, this is physical sketching, not abstract painting, and it requires basic skills.
From an expert's perspective, Ang Lee's basic skills in this painting are quite solid, and he is completely a master of painting.
"I am learning to compose music, and painting is just my hobby." Ang Lee replied honestly.
"What a monster... It seems that there are some problems with my design. I originally thought that you said that painting is just an amateur interest, but now you have a professional painting level. I should design a more professional painting studio for you." Ran Xin thought for a while and quickly took back Ping An, who had just been launched, picked up the electronic pen and started writing and painting again.
Ang Lee admired her professional qualities a little, and did not disturb her. She drank coffee quietly. The change took a lot less time this time. In just over a dozen minutes, Ran Xin revised it.
"I originally designed a small storage room, but I just cancelled it and added this area to the studio. You can tell me if you are satisfied or confused."
Ran Xin pushed the tablet in front of Ang Lee again and said again: "By the way, can you give me this painting? I like it very much."
"Yes, just take it out." Ang Lee nodded and said, taking the tablet in her hand. His notebook was specially used for drawing. Each piece of paper can be easily taken out and placed separately.
Ang Lee looked at the tablet in his hand slowly. The painting at the beginning was the overall structure of the house and marked the specific length and width data of each place, making it easy and intuitive to see.
Next is another painting, exactly the same as the previous one, except that the spaces are separated on the front and divided into separate spaces, each space is also marked.
The place where you enter the door is a porch wall, which marks the specific size and brand of the shoe cabinet, and also states the specific price.
After entering, there is the living room, which contains dense words, TV and TV cabinets, sofas, coffee tables, curtains, decorative chandeliers, etc. Many things are written with the brand and approximate price range. The living room is quite large and occupies a quarter of the space. According to the design, there are large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Next to it is the restaurant. The original partition wall in the middle has been moved, and some space in the restaurant is contributed to the living room and open kitchen. Only kitchen utensils can only be a complete set of brands. Ang Lee has never heard of it or seen it before, but in terms of price, it should be a relatively high-end brand.
There is a toilet with a small area in the middle of the two living rooms.
The original three rooms were divided into five rooms, with different sizes and light not particularly good. The room facing north was transformed into a recording studio, and only some necessary conditions such as sound insulation and noise reduction were marked.
As for what equipment and prices are needed, it is probably because Ran Xin doesn't understand this aspect yet, and needs to do some further market research to get specific data and design inspiration.
The studio and study room occupy a total of one-third of the area, separated by a partition wall in the middle. The area of the studio is larger than that of the study room, facing east, with good light, and you can directly see the river view.
The remaining two are bedrooms. The master bedroom occupies the best position. Both bedrooms have independent bathrooms, but the bathroom area of the master bedroom is more than twice that of the second bedroom. A small space is also specially set up as a cloakroom.
The tiny 120 square meters are divided into squares of different sizes. Turning backwards are several simpler color paintings, such as the entrance hall when you enter the door, there are several deer head decorations and a large painting on the shoe cabinet, which looks quite artistic.
Entering is the living room. There is a huge forest snow mural on the wall behind the TV. The sofa and coffee table are placed in the middle of the living room. Behind is an electronic fireplace. A huge chandelier is hung directly above the living room. Heavy curtains are hung on the floor-to-ceiling windows. What makes Ang Lee’s eyes shine the most is the piano placed in the living room.
He didn't mention this to Ran Xin at first, but Ran Xin designed it himself, and it was exactly what Ang Lee wanted. He really wanted to put a piano in the living room, but he didn't remember it just now, but Ran Xin had already thought of it for him.
The living room open kitchen has a small white bar with red wine glasses on the shelf. A concealed box space is built next to the huge refrigerator. The area is very small, but it is just right to place a wine rack, and the rectangular table can sit many guests.
The layout of the studio is relatively simple. In the plain white space, there is a huge easel next to the window. Outside the window is a rolling river water. In contrast, there is a recording studio. There are no windows, dim lights and thick walls. The study room is a tea table and a desk. There is a computer on the desk, and behind it is a huge bookshelves connected to the top of the wall.
The key point is the master bedroom. There is a small balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and a huge bathroom and connected cloakroom on the side.
Although these are just a few colorful paintings drawn on the tablet and are sketches, Ang Lee feels very real, as if he is looking at photos of his decorated home, giving people a very clear sense of picture, just like he is walking around in rooms one by one.
This is what Ran Xin is so powerful. The sketches look a bit abstract, but they give people a clear sense of picture.
"What do you think of this design? This is just a first draft. There are still some more details I haven't drawn yet. It's just a big picture view." Ran Xin looked at Ang Lee and said expectantly.
Although Ang Lee is a client, the way of talking and relationship between the two is more like a friend.
"I am very satisfied with the overall situation. I am worthy of being a professional designer. The money is worth it." Ang Lee nodded with a smile. Maybe he is just an outsider. He doesn't have much knowledge of these things and has a rich vision, so he feels satisfied with the casual decoration.
But this is enough. After all, it is designed to live in by yourself, so it is naturally the most important point.
"In other words, do you think the specific structure is OK? If so, I just need to make some detailed design plans on this structure. However, it will take some time. I can't make it today. I will hand over the complete design plan to you another day, maybe about a week."
Ran Xin nodded and said, of course, a design plan is not just a simple sketch of color painting, but also requires more detailed and clearer pictures.
"That's okay." Ang Lee nodded, he was not in a hurry anyway.
"In addition, because it is designed separately, it also takes some time for some things to be customized. If it takes one and a half months to complete the ready-made decoration plan, then it may take three months to design it and finally decorate it." Ran Xin continued. The construction of a special design plan must take more time than the previous design plan, because some things are not ready-made and need to be customized.
"It's acceptable if it's three months." Ang Lee nodded. If it's three months, it's just right, because he's only more than three months away from the holiday.
"In addition, the decoration budget is 250,000 yuan for hard decoration you just asked for, and soft decoration are the brands I just marked on the picture. I also marked the approximate price range. The total cost should be around one million. I wonder if you can accept this?"
Ran Xin looked at Ang Lee and said that a one-million-decoration of decoration can definitely be considered high-end in an area of 120 square meters. If it were an ordinary person, he would not spend this one million, because under normal circumstances, it would be very good to decorate it with 300,000 yuan.
"Is one million? Is it paying you now or what?" Ang Lee thought for a while and nodded. He didn't know what level of this decoration was, because he had never owned so much money before, and had never thought about the house.
Compared to a house worth ten million, a decoration of one million is not much. Maybe this is why he has a higher horizon now.
"No need, my budget is one million. You can pay half of it first. After you are satisfied with the decoration, you can settle the final payment. At that time, I will make all the expenses into a list. When the completion and delivery, you can just transfer the final payment to the company's account."
Ran Xin shook her head and said, in general, they are done first and then paid, but when the amount involved is too large, the company generally requires the customer to pay half as a deposit first, which avoids the situation where the customer cannot pay the money after delivery, resulting in the loss of money from the producer.
"Okay." Ang Lee nodded. He only had 600,000 yuan in cash now. If he paid it in one go, he wouldn't be able to pay so much money, but half of it would be just right.
He believed that he could earn the remaining 500,000 in three months, which should not be too difficult for him.
"Okay, I will bring you the complete design plan and contract at that time." Ran Xin said with a smile. The business of this shop was unexpectedly smooth. The customer is a very easy person and has enough trust in her skills, so she agreed on the basic points.
"I think the time is almost over. Why don't we take a break and I'll treat you to dinner later? There are still a few good shops on our Student Street. If you don't think that the grade is too low," Ang Lee said with a smile. Although he is the boss of the Party A of this cooperation, he himself does not have this awareness and just regards Ran Xin as a new friend.
"I usually order takeout at home when I am not working. Sometimes I have to worry about the five-dollar delivery fee for a long time, so I don't mind at all."
Ran Xin said with a smile that if you put this business aside, Ang Lee is actually a very interesting and talented person, and it is also quite good as a new friend.
She usually works in business and rarely attends business dinners. However, today the business of this shop makes her very comfortable, and the other party happens to be a good person, so it is not impossible to set a precedent.
The two talked about some common topics. Although it was the first time we met, they had similar personalities. Ran Xin would show Ang Lee the plans for some houses she had designed before and introduced their respective expenses. What surprised Ang Lee was that she had designed a manor decoration plan for someone else. It was a huge project and huge figures, but the reward was also quite considerable.
It's just that it has not met Ang Lee's expectations. In his opinion, the reward for being a designer is not as much as he imagined. At least he can make more money by making a song or copying a book, and there is no need to look at other people's faces.
The two chatted and laughed. After a while, two people came in again at the door. Because Ang Lee was sitting in the direction of the door, he saw each other immediately.
The person who pushed the door in was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect it was Lin Chaomu.
There was also a man who looked very young, tall, thin, fashionable, with fluffy red hair slightly curly, and handsome.
Lin Chaomu also saw Ang Lee sitting not far away. At the same time, she was stunned for a moment and then walked towards him.
"What a coincidence, senior sister." Ang Lee stood up and said with a smile. He thought Lin Chaomu had already returned home, but he didn't expect that he was still in school.
"Yes, it's quite a coincidence." Lin Chaomu nodded and smiled, noting the girl sitting opposite Ang Lee.
"What is this?" Ang Lee looked at the person standing behind her.
"My name is Wu Hao, my friend Chao Mu, hello." The man took the initiative to introduce himself and reached out to Ang Lee. He was tall, taller than Ang Lee, with three-dimensional facial features, and looked like a model. Although Ang Lee also thought he was very handsome, he was still a little worse than the other party.
