Fang Yi talks about the gentle breeze caressing the mountains and the bright moon shining on the river. However, it is strange that he feels happy when he hears that his paintings are belittled by most critics! Fang Yi is not the same.
He is not a Buddha who feeds tigers in the flesh, nor is he a Taoist scholar who sees through the prosperity of the world that it is better to go home. Regardless of whether he has a good personality or not, he does not like the ridicule and scolding of others in such a long way.
Of course, Fang Yi's reputation is still in the art circle. Outside, ordinary people still don't know who Fang Yi is. Let alone Fang Yi, even the reputation of teacher Liu Hongshuo is not enough to be known to the public.
Twenty percent, this is still a high estimate. Now Fang Yi is distressed that these people do not comment on his paintings and are about to turn to attack in life!
Now these critics had an opportunity, and when Liu Hongshuo didn't curse, they spat at Fang Yi.
To be honest, even if Fang Yi thought about it in every possible way, he would never have imagined that it would actually be like this to make him famous, and he would be scolded by these critics.
There was a rocking chair under the eaves. Fang Yi was sitting on the chair and rocking it gently. He opened his eyes and looked at the haze in the sky. The big raindrops fell vertically from the dark sky, falling in the courtyard.
Circles of ripples arose on the ground, and the sound of water pouring into the sewers told of the magnitude of the rain.
The round-headed and flat-headed two are now lying obediently at Fang Yi's feet with their eyes closed and taking a nap. They seem a little bit worried about not being able to play in the yard and not being able to go out for a walk in the morning because of the heavy rain.
The child is listless.
Qu Gu walked out of the studio and came to Fang Yi's side. He saw an art magazine on the ground. He picked it up and flipped through it. Then he threw it to the ground and sat down on the magazine, looking at the rain curtain in the courtyard facing Fang Yi.
Said: "Don't listen to these comments
What nonsense are you talking about? Some of these people can’t even hold a paintbrush! Aren’t the reviews of some masters very good? One word from these people is more effective than ten thousand words from these useless snacks. Have your current painting prices gone up?
Now the two hundred thousand has arrived!".
"It's arrived, but my teacher won't let me sell it. I was planning to sell my paintings to pay for my tuition. Now that I heard that I was going to sell Grigory's paintings, he suggested that I stop selling my own paintings. On the market, my
The fewer the paintings, the higher the price! He said that Jin Peng will arrange for exhibitions from time to time while I am studying abroad." Fang Yi turned around and looked at Qu Gu, who was sitting next to him.
After hearing this, Qu Gu asked: "Will you develop with Tao Yong, Wei Jin and others?".
"It's very possible!" Fang Yi nodded after thinking for a while and said: "When Wei Jin and Tao Yong graduate next year, maybe we will have Zhou Tong to exhibit together. I hear what Jin Peng said.
Let’s cooperate with Lu Qikun’s contracted gallery and hold a joint exhibition of several people!”
"Yeah! That's a good idea! It's a pity that I can't sign with Jinpeng. If not, we could have a joint exhibition of four roommates!" Qu Gu said with a smile.
Fang Yi laughed twice after hearing this: "It's not easy for four of us to exhibit together. When we all have some reputation, we can all exhibit together! Jinpeng's conditions are good. Why don't you sign? Is there one at Mingzhu?
A more suitable gallery?”.
Qu Gu smiled and shook his head: "No! It's just that I don't want to be tied down so soon! After graduation, Su Meng and I have agreed that we will travel around the world for one to two years! Then we will think about it.
What a question of fame or not!”.
After listening to Qu Gu's words, Fang Yi smiled and teased his friend: "I forgot, you are still a standard rich second man! I thought you would take over your father's job and run the company!".
After hearing this, Qu Gu shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't go to work in my dad's company and be a small boss or something! I don't like his kind of life. Every day is just socializing! Basically, there is no private space at all.
None, I seem to have made a lot of money, but I can’t accept the hard work involved! Let’s leave it to my brother to take over! I told Su Meng about this and how much money my dad will share with us.
We just take as much as we need, and we don’t have any objections about whether it’s more or less!”.
"Su Meng is a nice girl!" Fang Yi said with a smile after hearing this: "You are not the kind of person who wants money, you have to catch it!".
Qu Gu nodded after hearing this: "Yeah! She is a good girl. She doesn't have so many suspicions. She has a lot to say about her personality, and her communication is very good! We will get married after we both graduate! Then we go away for a year and it will be a super honeymoon.
Yes! When the time comes to transfer to France, you will arrange accommodation and everything else, so we can just go there directly!"
"No problem!" Fang Yi laughed and said. Then he remembered his painting and asked Qu Gu, "Did you help me find out anything about my painting?".
Qu Gu thought for a moment and said: "I'm just here to tell you this. Just tell me a time and we'll go to that auction house together! They first want to look at the painting, and then set a minimum price. If it's suitable, we'll sign the contract.
, so that their gallery can promote it!”.
"Well! Let's go together in two days," Fang Yi said.
"Is your decision too hasty? His paintings are currently on the rise and have not yet reached a high point." Qu Gu asked Fang Yi.
Fang Yi shook his head after hearing this: "It's better to sell it! I have this thing, so I can't ask my family for money again! I can't let my parents collect money again! Otherwise, it will trouble the teacher! Then
Why bother? I might as well just sell the painting. It's more or less the same thing. With five or six million dollars, I won't have to worry about anything in the next two or three years!"
"That's right!" Qu Gu thought for a moment and nodded.
"When I go out, you can stay in my studio, take care of my house, and help me take care of the round and flat heads," Fang Yi said. It is impossible for his studio to be unoccupied for two or three years.
This house will fall apart quickly if no one lives in it. It is impossible for my parents to come from the city often and stay for a night or two. Isn't that just causing trouble? Leave it to the teacher and mistress? They are not of the same age.
Now that I’m young, my home is already so big, so how about cleaning my own house?
Find a part-time worker to clean up by yourself? Fang Yi really can't rest assured if it's left in the hands of outsiders. Then leave it to Qu Gu and the others. Even if Qu Gu goes out, there are still Wei Jin and Tao Yong.
, no matter what, you can see yourself coming back, right?
At this point, he jokingly said to Qu Gu: "Don't do anything illegal! But it doesn't count if you and Su Meng move in together!"
Qu Gu said with a smile: "Living together? We look at Wei Jin and Tao Yong with such big light bulbs all day long? You can really pull it off!"
The two were chatting. They saw Yuan Tou and Flat Tou stand up and look towards the door, wagging their tails. Seeing this, both Fang Yi and Qu Gu looked towards the courtyard door.
.
Within a minute, I saw Liu Hongshuo reaching out and pulling open the door bolt and walking into the yard!
"Then I'll go back to the studio first!" Qu Gu patted Fang Yi's rocking chair, followed Liu Hongshuo and said hello before walking towards the studio.
Seeing the teacher coming with an umbrella, Fang Yi quickly stood up from his chair.
"Just sit here!" Liu Hongshuo waved his hand to Fang Yi and sat directly on the rocking chair. Fang Yi had no choice but to turn around and enter the room again, took a chair and sat next to the teacher.
Liu Hongshuo rocked the rocking chair gently. He stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Tou's back and asked: "Tell me what you have been thinking about these days!".
Facing his teacher, Fang Yi didn't hide anything. He opened his mouth and said without thinking: "I feel a little unhappy after hearing these criticisms. Or rather curses!".
Haha! Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and laughed twice: "There are several magazines that want to give you an interview. How about you accept the interview and just start scolding?".
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it! I'm not very interested in arguing with these people! But if my works continue to be exhibited, it is a response to them! I just feel that these things, criticism
My paintings are not objective at all!”.
Hahaha! After hearing this, Liu Hongshuo couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his hand and patted the round head gently: "Do you know why I picked out those two paintings and said nothing now?".
How could Fang Yi know? He could only shake his head.
"When a work comes out, some people will usually jump out to praise it, while others will jump in to find fault! This is a very common thing." Liu Hongshuo looked at his disciples and said, "It's just that this time it's a little bigger. When I was in China, I dealt with this group of people.
No problem, you can yell if you want. I still have my name.
Have some weight! But if I go abroad, my reputation will not be of any use! If you participate in any art exhibition and say something that is scolding, I will not be able to protect you even if I want to! This time I will let you adapt.
Just for a moment, so that you won’t get used to it when participating in art exhibitions outside the painting!”.
Having said this, he turned to look at Fang Yi and said: "But this is not a bad thing! Sometimes the more intense the reaction of these people towards you, the more it will promote your fame! If it weren't for Dali, you could just grab a clay doll
Painting it with blue paint tells you that this is art! How can such a thing be mixed with three of the most distinctive artists of the 20th century? You don’t
If you can think about others scolding you, you have to think about your works being thrown into the market and no one will ask or even bother to comment on your paintings. This is the saddest thing! Sometimes being scolded is also a kind of happiness! If
When you go abroad and your work is criticized so much that even I can hear about it at home, then I will immediately open a bottle of good wine to celebrate with your wife!"
Fang Yi looked at the smiling teacher and really doubted that the remark just now came from his teacher: "Isn't this Ah Q?".
After hearing this, Liu Hongshuo continued: "I said that the magazine wanted to interview you, but you wouldn't take the opportunity to scold you, so I can only tell you this! This is called confusion! You don't have to care about these people! Think of them in your heart
Just a bunch of clowns will do! When I was in France, I and a bunch of
When my classmate held an art exhibition and scolded Dali in an interview on the TV station, many people jumped out and scolded us. The momentum was much greater than it is now! The scolding was also much more intense than this, but he directly called me a French
My classmates made me famous! Now I am living happily in France."
"Teacher! I just feel a little unhappy. I'll be fine after a while!" Fang Yi understood that his teacher had come to teach him specifically today! After listening to the teacher's talk for a while, Fang Yi opened his mouth and smiled at the teacher.
said
Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi with his eyes open, and Fang Yi looked back with a smile on his face. The master and the apprentice stared at each other for almost a minute, and both laughed. Fang Yi felt a little unhappy in his heart.
It almost dissipated immediately. (To be continued...)
