At noon, Wang Hongqi and his father had a meal at Fang Yi's house. After the meal, Wang Hongqi helped Fang Yi wash the dishes and then left the house with the boy. Fang Yi naturally entered the studio again and began to tinker with himself.
The painting comes.
After waiting for a week, news came from Jinpeng Gallery that the triptych of the Madonna, Child and Christ was confirmed to be painted by Fang Yi. The income from the triptych of large paintings was almost 400,000 yuan in Fang Yi's hands.
Small head.
The call was from Chen Shenglin, who asked Fang Yi to take some time out in the past few days to go to Suzhou with him. Fang Yi directly set the time for tomorrow. Such a large oil painting on wood made Fang Yi very interested.
Not to mention it is such a rare classical theme.
After putting down the phone, Fang Yi couldn't help but snap his fingers and wave his hand. This action was seen by Zheng Yuan who was coming downstairs. She smiled and asked Fang Yi: "What makes you so happy?".
"It's confirmed that I will paint the large oil painting on wood," Fang Yi said while looking at Zheng Yuan.
When Zheng Yuan heard this: "I've never heard this news from you!".
Fang Yi said with a smile: "I haven't confirmed it before, so I didn't mention it to you. Now you are the first among friends to know it!" After speaking, he turned around and poured himself a glass of water, holding it in his hand and looking at Zheng Yuan.
Asked: "Are you planning to have a conversation with Amanda again?".
Zheng Yuan walked down the stairs and nodded: "Yeah! But even Amanda and Kath couldn't understand the English I spoke!".
With a puff, Fang Yi almost choked himself, and then burst into laughter.
"Is it so funny?" Zheng Yuan looked at Fang Yi and asked.
"It's quite interesting," Fang Yi said after he finished laughing. Zheng Yuan's English was spoken in English that even a British and an American could not understand, so it was very interesting.
But after he finished laughing, Fang Yi opened his mouth to encourage him and said: "Just practice more and it will be fine. Your vocabulary is still pretty good. You just need to pay more attention to pronunciation and grammar!".
Zheng Yuan said: "I think so too. Amanda and I will have activities in the capital in the next two days, and the next week or so. I can only continue to chat with you!".
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Fang Yi smiled and said, "I'll probably be very busy in the next few months. Such a large oil painting on wood, and it's custom-made, won't give me so much time to slow down."
Slow grinding or something like that, I’m not sure about the time! But it’s definitely a little tighter than painting by yourself!”
"Then I'll just listen to the tape," Zheng Yuan said and walked out the door.
Fang Yi asked Zheng Yuan: "Don't Amanda know a lot of international students? Just ask them to introduce two or three friends to you and continue chatting!".
After hearing this, Zheng Yuan turned around and said, "Forget it! These people have a strong smell of perfume. I can't stand the smell of their friends! And they are all men, and the hair on their arms is all wet."
It’s much hairier than those with round heads and flat heads!”.
"The current fashion is so fluffy. Haven't you seen so many domestic girls getting in front of others? You can't wait to kidnap a foreigner to your home immediately. You will finish the matter that night and fly abroad early tomorrow morning!
"Fang Yi said jokingly. Now Fang Yi knows Zheng Yuan's little problem. This is just a joke between friends.
Zheng Yuan turned around and said: "I went abroad to study on my own merits, why did I ask a foreigner to help me? It's you! Marry a foreign girl now is the time to grow a face, Kath has a good impression of you, what do you think? Let's take action.
Master Fang!".
"Forget it. I can't stand her lifestyle! I heard it's understandable that she can make money quickly. I heard there's a ladder somewhere! She can run as fast as a rabbit! I can't stand her party animal!" Fang Yi said with a smile.
Kath is really good as a friend. Everyone likes a warm, generous, lively and cheerful girl. But Amanda is more reliable than her as a lover. People who can lift up their tops when dancing with enthusiasm are too much for Dong Yi.
The two chatted for a few words and then each turned around and went about his or her own business.
On the morning of the next day, Fang Yi waited for Chen Shenglin to come over at home, and then in the afternoon, the two drove towards Suzhou in the Mercedes-Benz driven by Chen Shenglin. They drove for almost four hours, and by five or six o'clock in the afternoon
At that time, I arrived in Suzhou, downstairs of Dinghua Boss's company.
The company's facade is a bit stingy. The four-story Western-style building is built like a small American White House. The ancient Greek Koslin pillar style can be seen everywhere. For those who don't understand, the high-end atmosphere seems to be high-end, but in Fangyi
In my eyes, there is something
The squares are in the Baroque style, and some are in the Gothic style. I don’t know which 250-year-old designer came up with such a thing. It’s like the fish that was hit by nuclear radiation in the Xingye movie, pieced together piece by piece.
Something so unlikeable came out.
"When you go in after a while, don't say anything, just smile. Leave the rest to me!" Chen Shenglin said.
Fang Yi nodded after hearing this, followed Chen Shenglin in, and spoke to the little girl at the front desk. The little girl at the front desk said to the two of them in Mandarin with a strong Suzhou accent, "Mr. Sun is here"
Waiting for you upstairs.
After following Chen Shenglin into the elevator, Fang Yi couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Which architect designed the inside and outside of this building!".
Chen Shenglin smiled after hearing this and said: "If we say it was designed by an architect, it would be better to say it was designed by the person we are about to meet! How could a second-rate architect design this thing? He looked at the manuscript and saw this
Change a little bit on one side, a little bit on that side, add a pillar or a window out of nowhere, and that’s it!”.
After hearing this, Fang Yi couldn't help but frowned and said: "He won't tell me about my painting, right? If so, let's go back, I can't paint!".,
"It's okay!" Chen Shenglin said, "I've said it before! I've made some requests to him!".
After speaking, he whispered a few words to Fang Yi. Only then did Fang Yi realize that Boss Sun originally wanted to invite some domestic experts to paint this triptych, but Liu Hongshuo directly offered the price.
Five million, Mr. Xu Shize from the capital offered 5.8 million, and even more cruelly, he directly offered 8 million. When he heard this price, he felt a little unhappy.
.
To be honest, the price Liu Hongshuo gave is a bit expensive, but according to the market price of these people's paintings, this three- to four-meter-square thing costs about four million. Plus customization, and these famous artists all
I'm already quite old, and such a huge thing would take a lot of energy. Without the price, it's not worth it for someone of this level. I'm not detracting from my own work by paying one or two million to paint it for you.
Market price, why bother yourself?
In this way, the young boss from Suzhou was frustrated and decided to let Fang Yi paint.
Chen Shenglin and Fang Yi pushed the door open and walked in. Fang Yi discovered that the office was really round, with a big fat man sitting behind a huge boss's desk.
"Brother Chen!" The fat man saw Chen Shenglin coming and seemed to have walked around in a big circle before walking out of the boss's table and shaking hands with Chen Shenglin.
"This is Mr. Liu Hongshuo's disciple, Fang Yi!" Chen Shenglin introduced Fang Yi to him with a greeting.
"Hello! I've seen you for a long time!" Mr. Sun acted as if he had heard Fang Yi's name before.
Fang Yi held the fat man in his hands and shook it a few times and said, "Hello! Hello!" Then he closed his mouth as per Chen Shenglin's request, and sat honestly on the sofa where the guests were waiting, listening without being humble or overbearing.
The name of Mr. Sun is Sun Chengfu. At first glance, he really lives up to his name. Did he become rich all of a sudden?
The fat man was very energetic and eloquent. He kept telling Chen Shenglin and Fang Yi about some of his church's plans and ideas, and then talked about profitability and how much income he could bring in by renting out to newlyweds for a day.
Then he told the two about wedding fashions, and the whole church became a money-making tool in the fat man's mouth.
The three of them talked for an hour, of which fifty minutes were spent listening to the fat man talk about his blueprint. Then Sun Chengfu took the two of them to the hotel for dinner, and then of course they sang and other things, until the climax.
Although Sun Chengfu was a bit rustic and had no artistic accomplishments, Fang Yi thought he was quite warm and hospitable, and he was relieved of his initial rejection.
On the morning of the next day, Chen Shenglin and Fang Yi visited the church under the leadership of Sun Chengfu's office director.
Fang Yi had never thought that Sun Chengfu had decorated his office in all kinds of ways. This church was in a pure Baroque style, very gorgeous, and complex patterns and carvings could be seen everywhere. When he walked in, he found that the walls inside included pillars.
They are all white, but golden decorations can be seen everywhere on the capitals and arches, and European mythological stories are painted on the dome. The whole church is very magnificent! I don’t know how to describe the luxury.
At this time, the sunlight outside passes through the round or square windows of the church, illuminating the entire church very brightly, and the beams of sunlight that come in invisibly increase the sense of sanctity in the church.
It makes one's mind clear.
Fang Yi told the office director that he wanted to see it alone, and that he might come over to see the situation by himself in the future. The person who arranged for Fang Yi to meet with the person in charge of the church then left.
Sitting in the church, Fang Yi changed seats from time to time, observing the location of his future paintings from different angles, and then thinking about how to arrange the triptych as a whole.
After sitting and watching in the church for more than four hours, Fang Yi and Chen Shenglin went to say goodbye to Sun Chengfu, and then returned to Shicheng to start making preliminary preparations.
The preparation this time is not as simple as washing the brush and squeezing in some paint. It is more complicated than the last time I painted a family portrait, because the painting is for a church altar, and you can't paint a Chinese face.
What is it, and clothing and accessories must be taken into consideration throughout the article. Naturally, there is no need to think about facial expressions and movements! (To be continued...)
