After chatting with the teacher for more than an hour, Fang Yi logged off and chatted with his parents for a while. Anyway, everything was fine! Life in Paris was like paradise, which made his parents feel at ease! Then he took a shower and lay on the bed.
Putting his hands behind his head, he turned off the light and considered the teacher's words.
I am indeed a new person in the European oil painting market, and my painting style clearly has a Chinese flavor. It’s not that Chinese style is not good, but it’s not very acceptable in the mainstream European oil painting market.
At present, there is only one person who is unanimously praised for his Chinese style, the French-Chinese master Mr. Zao Wou-ki. Mr. Zao Wou-ki did not become famous overnight, and it is indispensable to accumulate over the years.
Thinking of this, Fang Yi started to think about how long it would take him to make a name for himself in Europe. After thinking about it for more than half an hour, Fang Yi finally came to the conclusion that he still didn't know, even if he didn't know.
It's because the experience bar in his mind has reached the master level. Fang Yi is not sure whether he will be recognized by others. Again, people are the ones who appreciate it! And there is no unified standard for art.
Thinking of this, Fang Yi sighed and told himself: Take your time!
Putting aside the thought of when he would become famous, Fang Yi pulled up the sheets and covered his head. After a while, his breathing stabilized and he fell asleep.
The next day, he got up early for a run to exercise. After breakfast, he took three of his works out to promote his paintings. At the end of the whole day, Fang Yi was rejected by three galleries. Although he listened to the teacher's advice,
Fang Yi has already lowered his demands, but none of these three galleries have offered to let Fang Yi keep the painting, even for a few hundred euros!
While driving back to Charlotte's house, Fang Yi was thinking about whether to go back to the last gallery to have a look, but the self-esteem in his heart tried his best to dissuade Fang Yi from going back so soon? In the end, that little self-esteem took over again.
Got the upper hand! Fang Yi decided to continue trying like this. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not go back to the gallery that offered 600 euros!
Back in his room, Fang Yi checked some Spanish habits on the Internet, as well as some taboos in daily life, so as not to accidentally touch these things when he went out with Beronica tomorrow.
In the morning, Fang Yi didn't wear a suit anymore. He just wore a T-shirt and a pair of light blue thin jeans. He wore a pair of soft-soled sneakers on his feet. He came downstairs after seeing that the time was almost up.
.
Charlotte looked at Fang Yi who had changed his clothes and said with a smile: "It's your first date with a girl. Behave better! Talk more about topics that interest her! Don't be silent!".
Fang Yi looked at Charlotte and smiled: "I just made an appointment with Beronica to go shopping in Montmartre! It's not really a date!".
"Okay!" Charlotte also said with a smile: "At least this girl doesn't have a boyfriend yet. If you think it's good, you can try to pursue her! You haven't even gotten along with her, so how do you know her?
Is it suitable?".
Fang Yi smiled and walked up to hug Charlotte: "Then I'll go out first! It's almost time!".
"Go!" Charlotte patted Fang Yi on the back. Watching Fang Yi walk to the door, she said behind her: Be smart!
After hearing this, Fang Yi smiled and nodded. He opened the door and walked towards his car.
Arriving outside Beronica's residence, Fang Yi was driving the car and was looking for a parking place. When he turned around, he saw Beronica already standing under a soft cloth canopy and quickly slowed down the car.
He slowly leaned over, pressed down the car window and called out "Beronica!"
"Fang! You're late!" Beronica opened her mouth and said to Fang Yi as soon as she sat in the car and pulled up her seat belt.
Fang Yi explained with a smile: "Why, I also searched some habits of Spanish people." At this point, he looked at the watch on his wrist: "Then it says that it is usually ten to fifteen minutes later than the agreed time.
It’s appropriate! I’m just right now! Is it possible that what I saw is incorrect?”
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Beronica was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Fang Yi was confused: "Why are you laughing?".
Bellonica said: "I also deliberately learned about the habits of you Chinese people, and it said that being punctual is a courtesy! So I came down according to the time, but who knew that I stood in the sun and waited for you for ten minutes!
”.
"So we got into trouble," Fang Yi said with a smile after hearing this. After saying this, he turned around and looked at Beronica's earlobes. What Fang Yi saw was that Spanish women must wear earrings when they go out, otherwise
It was as if she was naked. Now she saw that Beronica actually had a big earring on her ear. Looking at the diameter of the earring, Fang Yi estimated that it was only five or six centimeters!
"Would you like to find a place to eat something first?" Fang Yi asked Beronica while driving the car.
Beronica replied: "There are many restaurants in Montmartre, and many cafes are also good. When you are tired from playing there, just find something to eat somewhere!".
Fang Yi smiled and said: "I can't get enough of the food in the cafe! If there is no meat in a meal, I feel like I haven't eaten at all, and I will get hungry very quickly!".
"Turn ahead!" Beronica looked at Fang Yi's automatic navigation and said: "The road over there is often blocked, it's better to take the road here!".
"Okay!" Fang Yi turned on the turn signal and followed Bellonica's instructions and walked to the turn.
"I can't eat too much meat, I have to stay in shape!" Beronica said after watching Fang Yi turn to the driveway.
With this topic in mind, the two started chatting about their eating habits. They talked all the way to the edge of Montmartre. Montmartre is said to be a highland, but it is actually a small hill. On the top of the small hill is the famous Sacred Heart.
The Cathedral, and then the famous attractions such as Place des Painters, Moulin Rouge, Wall of Love and so on.
Montmartre used to be just the urban-rural fringe of Paris. At that time, this place was similar to the urban-rural fringe in China. In addition to the scenery, the most important thing that attracted masters such as Manet, Van Gogh and Renoir was that the rent of houses here was the cheapest.
! Of course, when these masters squatted here, they were not as famous as they will be in the future! It is estimated that everyone's life was not very comfortable when they squatted here, and it was impossible for Picasso to have the big castle behind when he lived here.
, Comrade Lao Bi lives here on a laundry boat!
In addition to the Sacred Heart Cathedral, the most valuable thing here is the footprints left by the master here, which is the origin of Montmartre's artistic miracle! It is also the only reason why Fang Yi can be attracted here! So many unknowns
Masters are soaring here, can you not bring some master spirit to this place?
After finding a place to park the car, Fang Yi and Beronica walked up the steps to the hill. I have to say that Fang Yi inviting Beronica was a good choice, it was like bringing a free
It was like a tour guide, and this tour guide was quite eye-catching. When they arrived at a scenic spot, Beronica would explain it to Fang Yi, and the two of them just walked towards the Sacred Heart Cathedral on the top of the hill while watching.
"Hi! Man!" A black girl spoke a strange French and came up to Fang Yi. While saying hello, she tied something like a red rope around Fang Yi's wrist.
Beronica said quickly: "We don't need these things!" After speaking, he reached out and gently pushed Fang Yi's arm.
Only then did Fang Yi realize it, quickly retracted his hand, smiled and shook his head at the black girl, and followed Beronika away from the black guy.
After taking two steps, another black guy waved to Fang Yi with a model of the Eiffel Tower in his hand: "Friend! Want one?"
Fang Yi had no choice but to wave his hand again!
After walking a few steps, Beronica said to Fang Yi: "They put something around your wrist and then ask you for payment!".
Fang Yi smiled and said: "I thought they welcomed me warmly, but it turned out they were paying me!".
Beronica glanced at Fang Yi and said: "This is one of the most chaotic neighborhoods in Paris. It is mainly populated by African French and Albanian French! Public security has always been very bad! At night,
It’s best not to wander around here alone, it’s very dangerous!”.
After hearing this, Fang Yi nodded. Along the way, Fang Yi discovered that in some places, several dark-skinned young people or young Arabs gathered together, smoking cigarettes and talking and laughing loudly. In some places, people could be seen everywhere on the ground.
There are cigarette butts, and you can smell the general smell of urine as soon as you walk through some remote roads, which is really a bit unpleasant. Except for some main roads that are clean, places that cannot be seen are directly dirty.
Worse! Much worse than the urban-rural fringe area in Shicheng.
Moreover, the public security in a city's "style district" is rarely good. When wealthy Chinese people come to Paris, they must take a look at the style show at the Moulin Rouge.
Standing in front of the cathedral, Fang Yi raised his head and realized the majesty of this white building. Moreover, leisurely crowds could be seen everywhere, gathering together in groups. There were even many people sitting on the steps in front of the cathedral.
, let alone sitting on the lawn. Anyway, the impression given to Fang Yi was like visiting the Mausoleum of the Founding Fathers in Shicheng. Every sight was full of people!
From this point of view, Fang Yi has a slightly different view on what some people in China say about the "good quality" of Europeans. Looking at the people sitting in front of the Sacred Heart Cathedral, there are not many Asian faces.
The white-faced people sat on the entire steps and even walked in circles. They really showed no quality. At least Fang Yi couldn't see such a dense crowd sitting on the steps of the Founder's Mausoleum!
"The Sacred Heart Cathedral is built of a white stone. This stone will secrete a white substance when washed by rain, so it looks like the entire cathedral is white. The two statues at the door are Saint Louis
The King and Joan of Arc!" Beronica, a very competent tour guide, immediately explained the cathedral to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi looked up at the cathedral and followed Beronica inside. After walking around in the church, the two of them walked directly to the Painter's Square. Throughout the afternoon, the two decided to spend their time
