And then? Then of course it made the headlines! Naturally, the media made all kinds of comments about it.
Winning this award is worse than not receiving it! The remaining person who is not crazy said this when he was on the phone with his friend. Now some tabloids who like to get involved even directly call the two thieves! You
Does it feel bad for the two innocent people who were affected by this incident?
Our judgment was approved by the organizing committee after unanimous discussion. We think there is nothing wrong with these award-winning artists! The organizing committee of the Biennale held another press conference and repeatedly explained to countless media
This question also illustrates the organizing committee’s judging criteria again and again.
But as for the standards for discussing art, you may not be able to come up with anything right or wrong even if you try to argue for decades! These magazines are all about art criticism, who doesn’t know this stuff! Keep arguing! One side says we are fair.
, one party said that you have a problem! This shady story! It’s just a two-way argument!
Amidst the quarrels, Fang Yi and his friends returned to the village. While they were still on the road, Zou Heming called Fang Yi and said that he was going to Paris to meet everyone.
That night, Zou Heming went to the village and gathered with his contracted painters.
"I'm relieved to hear that you guys are back!" Zou Heming opened his mouth and looked at everyone and said happily.
Keshima opened his mouth and replied: "There is no prize to win, so why are you staying there?".
"I didn't predict this result. I think the potential newcomer should fall on two of them, at least one!" Rude pointed at Keshma and Anders and said.
"We are a little too optimistic. In fact, this result is not too surprising!" Zou Heming pointed his fingers on the table and said: "If you look at the circle of judges, you will understand that most of them belong to the category of avant-garde artists.
In the eyes of these people, it is appropriate to award the award to the two current people! As for you
Their works tend to be too realistic, which is what they have always opposed! But it’s good now that you didn’t win the award, but you are more dazzling than the two or three people who won the award! Originally, there were some influential media who remained neutral.
But now some of these media outlets are complaining on your behalf!”.
"Fortunately, we are back. If it weren't for dealing with the media, it would be difficult enough," Artur said with some lingering fear.
Zou Heming laughed twice: "I was afraid that you would stay there and not want to come back! It's just the right time to come back now, so let them make a noise! But you still have to accept interviews from several media!" After saying this, Zou Heming started from his own
A binder was found in the bag.
Fang Yi took the folder and turned it over, then he got a headache. The companies Zou Heming mentioned were really not several! This time there were not only print media, but also French TV stations.
"Leave this job to Anders!" Fang Yi said as he handed the binder in his hand to Anders, who was sitting opposite.
Artur stretched his head and looked at the clip in Anders' hand sitting next to him, and his face became a little bitter: "I won't run around anymore. This period of experience is like a vicious cycle."
Dream!".
After hearing this, Zou Heming opened his mouth and said: "It's enough to send a representative for some interviews. However, you all have to appear in the TV media. You don't have to say anything, but you must go!" Looking at Rude's face, he also felt a little bitter.
Zou Heming continued: "It will be fine after a while! When your reputation stabilizes, just like Bobiel is now, there will be no media to bother you!".
Today's trash cans are no longer the same as before. Now this man is recognized as a master. His current status in the painting world is that Lucian Freud and others can be compared with him.
An artist some French media calls a national treasure has just received a knighthood.
The old man has reached his current status! It doesn’t matter whether he accepts interviews from the media or not. The name of the world’s top art master allows the old man to criticize whoever he wants! At this stage, the old man is grinning and laughing at Picasso in a sexless manner. Why does the old man
The reason why I want to spray him is because of what Lao Bi said, it’s better to use a camera to paint a picture! Now that the trash can is fine, just spray a few words in the media. To entertain others and yourself!
Fang Yi and his friends only nodded and agreed to the gallery's arrangement.
"During the exhibition tour in the United States, will you still use these works? Can you create another batch with a level as high as your later works?" Zou Heming opened his mouth and asked directly.
Keshima turned to Fang Yi and asked: "As the most important artist of linearism, what else have you not accomplished?".
After listening to Keshima's words, Anders and the other three also turned their attention to Fang Yi.
In interviews these days, linearism friends all admitted that Fang Yi was the greatest contributor to the linearism style, not only in terms of techniques but also in the oil paints used by everyone today.
"No more! The final varnish has been prepared, and I think our paints are enough for now!" Fang Yi said, shaking his head. He is not a young boy who has just learned painting. The palette is
Put the paint in a big circle. The first kind of paint now is rich enough! Fang Yi usually only uses six kinds.
"During the tour, let's eliminate the previous batch of works! Let's use the researched pigments to paint another batch, but the exhibition time, let's see if we can postpone it for a month or two?" Keshma thought for a moment and said.
Zou Heming asked.
It can no longer be like this at the Biennale. The works of the same group of exhibitors are shown in sequence on the canvas. The last two or three paintings of each person's work clearly surpass the previous one!
"This is no problem! I can keep it longer, how about two and a half months? Now you can hand over some of your early works to the gallery!" Zou Heming said.
Artur asked: "Selling so many works at once?".
"No! Let the gallery have works to sell. Just two or three works a month will be enough. Before the exhibition, make sure the gallery has your works for sale." Zou Heming now has no works left by several people in the gallery. The gallery
The fact that there is no work by a contracted artist certainly shows that the work is in demand, but it will not last long. With these works, three or five works a month can support the scene and make some income!
The five Fang Yis are no longer as famous as they were before they participated in the Biennale. The works of Kaipai artists have aroused the interest of many collectors in the United States alone, let alone European collectors! Zou Heming can't believe that it can't be published in a month.
Two or three works!
"I have set the price of the early works between 600,000 and 800,000. What do you think? During this period, Keshma and Artur will produce two or three fewer works, waiting for you to be on the market in the early stages.
The limelight of the work is over!" Zou Heming asked the five people around him.
The most early works on the market now are Keshma and Artur, which pose a certain threat to the two current works.
"Okay!" All five people agreed. They all trusted Zou Heming's arrangements. On the other hand, they didn't know much about the management! They just let it go and let the gallery figure it out.
"We are not Yi! We didn't need to make a living before," Keshima glanced at Fang Yi and said with a smile.
"There isn't even a single piece of Yi's work on the market now, is there?" Artur asked with a smile.
Zou Heming shook his head: "I heard that there is news from an auction house in China that two of your works have appeared!".
"Who did it?" Fang Yi thought for a moment. Is it possible that the work in An Xiaojun's hands was sold? There were not so many other people who wanted to sell it. Two works at once?
"They are both early works, one is a gouache work and the other is a model! But don't worry, it will have no impact on your current works." After Zou Heming finished speaking, he opened the bag in his hand again and took out two folding sheets.
The paper together was handed to Fang Yi: "The auction house also sent high-precision scans of two works. I would like you to identify them yourself to see if they are your works!".
After receiving the scan and taking a look at it, Fang Yi knew who provided the painting. The model he and Qu Gu painted together seemed to be named Xiaolan. At that time, he listened to her talk about the survival of domestic mannequins.
The current situation was a bit embarrassing, so I drew a painting for her with my roommates. At that time, I joked that I supported her in buying a house or something.
"This painting was painted by me!" Fang Yi nodded after reading the first painting and then turned to the next work.
Looking at the work in his hand, Fang Yi was a little dazed. The style was a bit of his own, but the painting was not authentic, and it could only be said to be a bit of his own style! The characters in the painting were themselves
I don’t know her, an old lady who appeared out of nowhere! If the work looks like a real painting, it should be something I painted when I was in high school, but now it doesn’t look right at first glance, just based on the technique
At that time, I was able to give this guy a run for my money.
"This painting was not painted by me!" Fang Yi looked at the second painting and said, "My painting is not that bad, and the model is not right. When I painted gouache, I knew all the models! The most important thing is that I
All the works are signed. Whether I keep them or give them away, I will sign my name from the first study! There is nothing on it, it cannot be my painting.
of!".
After hearing Fang Yi's comments, Zou Heming said jokingly: "The auction house said that the person who sent the painting said that he received your early works! He acquired them from one of your classmates!".
"There are two or three of my high school classmates who have my works at that time, but there is absolutely no one like this!" Fang Yi threw the second finely scanned thing in his hand on the table. He started painting the first one from something in his mind.
After one painting, the level will be one step at a time. Will you stay at this stage and paint two or three paintings? At the level of this painting, the first time I painted it, it was better than this!
"Is there your fake painting now?" Rude picked up the paper on the table and looked at it. (To be continued...)
