Early in the morning of the next day, Fang Yi went to the studio and immersed himself in painting while waiting for people from the gallery to come and pick up the paintings. After being asked by the teacher yesterday, Fang Yi decided to go to his studio today to see what happened.
What's the progress like? The owner of my studio has never been there since the construction started.
This time Fang Yi is not going alone. Tao Yong, Qu Gu and Wei Jin are also going together. They call it to recognize the door, but in fact they just want to see what Fang Yi's studio is like. How excited he is.
He was a little taller than Fang Yi, so he used the excuse of being the first person in our dormitory to have his own studio to steal Fang Yi's meal.
Before ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Yi heard a knock on the door of the studio. He raised his head, put down his brush, wiped his hands, said, "Here we come!" and walked towards the door.
When I got to the door and opened it, I saw two middle-aged men standing at the door.
Seeing Fang Yi standing at the door, one of the two, a fat man, said: "You are Fang Yi! We are here to pick up the paintings on behalf of Liu Lao Gallery!" After speaking, he bent down slightly and faced Fang Yi.
Yi stretched out his hand.
"My name is Chen Shenglin! This is Zheng Xiaopeng, the owner of our studio." Chen Shenglin immediately introduced himself and Zheng Xiaopeng to Fang Yi.
"Mr. Zheng and Mr. Chen, I heard the teacher tell you," Fang Yi shook hands with the two and said with a smile. Seeing that their appearance was similar to what the teacher described, Fang Yi let them into the studio.
After welcoming the two of them into the studio, Fang Yi went to the refrigerator to get two bottles of water and handed them to the two of them. He watched the two of them stand directly in front of his easel, not wanting to leave after taking the paintings.
Meaning. After racking his brains, he said a polite word: "Isn't it difficult to drive on the road at this time?".
"It's okay! It's okay!" Zheng Xiaopeng took the water handed over by Fang Yi and said thank you. When he looked at Fang Yi with his eyes, he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration on his face: "I've heard this a long time ago
It was said that Mr. Liu had taken on a great student, and today I saw that he was indeed a great disciple from a famous teacher! Mr. Fang's realistic skills are really amazing!" After saying that, he gave Fang Yi a thumbs up.
Chen Shenglin also said from the side: "Mr. Fang is a painter! His level is considered to be among the best among young and middle-aged oil painters in China!".
The two Mr. Fang immediately stunned Fang Yi. It took him a second to realize that these two people were talking about him! No one had ever said these three words Mr. Fang to him. Fang Yi heard this at first glance.
I still feel very awkward. I also wonder: Why are these two people so polite to me, and I still have to ask them to sell my paintings on my behalf!
"Just call me Fang Yi. You are also the teacher's friend. It sounds a bit awkward for Mr. Fang to call me that!" Fang Yi said with a smile to the two of them.
Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin looked at each other, and then Zheng Xiaopeng said with a smile: "Then let's support you. I'm a few years older than you. If you think it's okay, then call me Brother Zheng and call him Brother Chen!"
After speaking, he looked at Fang Yi with a smile.
After hearing this, Fang Yi said directly: "Okay! It's easy for everyone to call you like this!". From the moment they entered the door to now, Fang Yi felt so warm. Every time they talked to him, they looked at him with both eyes.
He looked very solemn.
Regarding this matter, Fang Yi thought that the two of them were doing it for the sake of his teacher. I didn’t know that it was not only Liu Hongshuo’s face, but also Fang Yi’s own reasons. Although Liu Hongshuo did not let Zheng Xiaopeng’s gallery sign Fang Yi, he did say that
From now on, when signing up for Fang Yi’s paintings to a gallery in China, you will first consider their gallery!
Considering that Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin have been in this industry for so many years, I guess Liu Hongshuo may be planning to send his disciples abroad to do gilding first. It would be best to have some kind of famous museum or gallery to collect Fang Yi's paintings.
, after boasting a little bit of fame, return to China and praise him again! If you really don’t have that ability, just find a little one.
In short, it makes me feel that paintings are sold well abroad. When I go back to China, every time I mention that Fang Yi's paintings are collected by some museum or the like abroad, it sounds like they have some weight, isn't it! If it doesn't work, then just do it.
I can only mention which developed country I studied in! It’s not just two people doing this, it’s a common phenomenon in the industry.
Let’s not mention this hype thing! It will take three or four years before Fang Yi returns to China. It’s hard to say what will happen in these three or four years. What if there is a gallery that gets along well with Fang Yi?
What! Will Liu Hongshuo be able to order his disciples to sign for his own gallery? Now that he has the opportunity to contact him, he must first leave a good impression on Fang Yi. He doesn’t even know what to do with the good options in front of him. So what else can he do?
Business, what gallery to open?
The two of them are so optimistic about Fang Yi, partly because Fang Yi is really good at painting, and partly because they learned from Liu Hongshuo's arrangements. The old man is so optimistic about his disciple's talent, so Fang Yi's future achievements will be higher than anything else.
Above Liu Hongshuo, even if he has a similar status, he is still a leader in the field of oil painting! If you don't pay attention now, then when will you pay attention?
How could Fang Yi have imagined that there were so many twists and turns, just like Fang Nan said, they were not business material! Now I feel that these two people are quite good, at least they are enthusiastic!
"Fang Yi! Mr. Liu asked us to choose two of your paintings today. Which one do you think is better?" Zheng Shenglin asked Fang Yi.
Fang Yi listened and said with a smile: "I don't have a few paintings in total! They are all stored in the painting storage room in the studio. On the left hand side of the door is the easel where I put my paintings. I have completed five paintings in total."
"When will this painting be finished?" Zheng Xiaopeng asked, pointing to the human body paintings of Kath and Amanda placed on Fang Yi's easel. As for the family portrait currently placed on Fang Yi's easel, Zheng Xiaopeng was not that low-IQ.
Even if I went to ask, I could tell by looking at the character's face that Fang Yi was painting someone from his own family.
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. It may take a week or two, or it may take more than a month! Most of my energy is on this now." After that, he clicked on the family portrait.
Chen Shenglin said at this time: "Since we all know each other, let's have a meal together at noon today?".
"I have some things to do at noon today, so don't bother me!" Fang Yi said quickly. Seeing these two people sitting still, only chatting with him and not mentioning picking out paintings, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Now. The three people in the dormitory are waiting for me eagerly! Are these two people still chatting?
"Let's talk about it next time?" Zheng Xiaopeng said with a smile after hearing Fang Yi's words.
"Let's talk about it next time!" Fang Yi said directly after finishing speaking: "Then you two will choose the painting now?".
Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin both stood up from their stools when they heard this. Watching Fang Yi take them to the painting collection room, they opened their mouths and said: "It's not the first time here, we can just go in and pick it out ourselves!"
.
"Then you are free to do as you like!" Fang Yi waved his hands to the two of them, then turned to his easel.
As soon as he stood in front of the easel, the phone in the studio rang. Fang Yi walked over and answered the call from his teacher.
"Are they here?" Liu Hongshuo asked at the other end.
"Here we are, picking out paintings inside!".
"Well! Ask Zheng Xiaopeng to come over and answer the phone."
After hearing what the teacher said, Fang Yi ran to the door of the room and called Zheng Xiaopeng to come over and answer the phone.
"Let's choose these two of your paintings!" Seeing Fang Yi follow him out, Chen Shenglin stopped Fang Yi and said.
Fang Yi turned around and took a look and saw that his paintings "Mother and Son Selling Fruit" and "Girl Playing the Cello" had been taken out and put aside.
"Yeah!" Fang Yi nodded after seeing these two paintings.
Chen Shenglin said: "Originally, the human body painting was also good, but the skin color was a bit too whitish. Maybe the market may not accept it! But the human body you painted now is very in line with the market's preferences, and is much better than this one.
!". Chen Shenglin was completely at a loss for words, as if he had never seen the human body painting before.
After hearing this, Fang Yi waved his hands and said: "That painting is my study, painted not long after I mastered classical techniques! It's just because it means something to me!" After saying that, he smiled and nodded at Chen Shenglin and turned around.
Returned to his easel.
Chen Shenglin watched Fang Yi turn around and leave. He was still holding in his mouth a few words that he had not spoken out. He couldn't help but smile a few times and turned to Liu Hongshuo's easel. Just as he was about to lift his feet, he saw a landscape next to him.
, couldn’t help but take it in his hand and look at it carefully.
After Zheng Xiaopeng finished answering the phone, he originally wanted to smile at Fang Yi, but found that Fang Yi was already sitting in front of the easel and started painting carefully, so he returned to the room inside without making a sound.
When they were waiting to come out again, the two people were holding several cloth bags in their hands.
"Fang Yi, we have picked it!" After leaving the door, Zheng Xiaopeng said to Fang Yi: "Mr. Liu has picked three paintings. When you add your two paintings, there are five paintings in total!".
"Yes! I understand. Let me tell the teacher when I see him!" Fang Yi glanced at the things in the two people's hands and knew that they were five paintings. Even if he wanted to take more from these two people, there was nowhere to go.
There is a place to put the paintings. Even if you don't look at Fang Yi, you can rest assured. The two of them have cooperated with the teacher for so many years, and they can't steal the teacher's paintings!
After hearing this, Zheng Xiaopeng said to Fang Yi: "Then let's go!".
"Brother Zheng, Brother Chen, please go slowly!" Fang Yi wiped his hands on the cloth on the cabinet twice and sent them to the door, saying to them.
When they arrived at the door, Zheng Xiaopeng put down the things in his hands and shook hands with Fang Yi again. Then he carried the things and walked along the path out of the forest.
When they got to the car, the two closed the door. Chen Shenglin turned to Zheng Xiaopeng and said, "Fang Yi seems to have a cold personality, and he doesn't seem to be sincere and enthusiastic! I think it's more perfunctory.
When we were asked to pick out paintings, there was still a bit of anxiety on our faces, something must have happened! Mr. Liu was right, he is too young in dealing with people!”
Zheng Xiaopeng laughed and said: "What Mr. Liu is afraid of is referring to Fang Yi's age, not how to deal with others! When it comes to dealing with others, Mr. Liu is the best?".
Thinking of Liu Hongshuo's temper, Chen Shenglin himself laughed: "It seems that Fang Yi doesn't want to talk to us. Is this right?".
Zheng Xiaopeng watched Chen Shenglin start the car and said, "How can you be called an artist without a little temper?".
"That's right!" Chen Shenglin shook his head, smiled and started driving the car.
