As his reputation spread, he naturally led some more people to bring his works to Fang Yi. Regardless of whether it was true or false, Fang Yi could definitely tell the truth at a glance. Then his reputation became even better, and naturally he had
After hearing this, more collectors, painting collectors, and ordinary people also sent their works to Fang Yi. They didn't have much feelings about this Fang Yi, because they only had to take a look.
Now Fang Yi's mind is still focused on his own things, and he doesn't care about this matter. Now he has completed another work about the river, but this time it is no longer a classic technique, but realism or romanticism.
After completing this work, Fang Yi naturally returned to his daze state, but the object of his daze was transferred to the work he had just completed.
"Sir! It's time to eat," Yeda put the tray in his hand on the small table in the studio, walked to Fang Yi's side and said softly. Now, the place where Fang Yi eats is no longer his spacious and bright dining room.
Instead, it was directly in the studio. Every time when the time came, Yeda would carry the silver tray and deliver it to the studio in person, just like now.
Fang Yi nodded and made a hum from his nose as an answer. He stood up from the easel, wiped his hands with a wet cloth and sat down at the small table.
Yeda opened the covers of two plates of food and pushed a bowl of soup in front of Fang Yi.
Fang Yi picked up the soup bowl and took a sip, then picked up the chopsticks and prepared to take action.
"Sir, there will be people coming with collections in the afternoon." Yeda watched Fang Yi start to eat, and whispered about what happened in the afternoon.
When Yeda mentioned this, Fang Yi couldn't help but paused with his hand holding the bowl. He thought about it for a while and started to move again. While eating, he asked Yeda: "Yeda, have you been a little pretentious during this time?"
Too many?" Now Fang Yi remembered that he had not seen the original work several times, and seemed to have seen several forgeries in a row.
After hearing this, Yeda smiled slightly and said directly to Fang Yi: "Sir, it's not that there are too many fakes, it's that there are too many paintings sent. You have shown ten works to people in this month."
"So many?" Fang Yi was stunned after hearing this. He looked at Yeda and nodded. Only then did he realize that he had seen ten paintings in the past month.
Yeda continued to say to Fang Yi: "You are equivalent to a completely free appraisal. As long as you have some collections in your hands, who doesn't want you to take a look!".
Now here comes the problem. You have to pay money to send it to others for appraisal. At most, you have to pay for the transportation fee to send it to Fang Yi. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of such an advantage? Moreover, none of the works that Fang Yi has identified has yet been identified as a fake.
All the forgeries that were identified were identified as forgeries by the agency. With free access to famous appraisers, who wouldn’t want to save some money with Fang Yi? Ten paintings a month is still a small amount, and Fang Yi immediately felt the pain.
"It's nothing, I just want to help others take a look." Fang Yi didn't care about the money for the appraisal at this time, but thought that he could see the famous masterpieces collected by some people. For Fang Yi, this was still a cost-effective deal.
.
But just like what Yeda said, in the next two months, Fang Yi used his glance nearly thirty times each month, and these nearly thirty times were all imitations, and there was no one at all.
They are authentic works. Even if they are authentic, some works are just ancient paintings and have little artistic value. And things like this that constantly interrupt his thoughts are becoming more and more frequent, making Fang Yi more and more annoyed.
Seeing a poor ancient painting again, Fang Yi couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and said directly to Yeda: "Those who want to come to appraise will not be free in the future!".
"Then how much should we charge?" Yeda looked at Fang Yi and said. In his heart, Yeda had long wanted to suggest Fang Yi to charge. Our United States is a capitalist country, and no one imitates Lei Feng. Everyone is talking about this kind of thing.
Word! You have violated the principle of equal exchange that has been established for a long time.
"Twenty thousand dollars a time!" Fang Yi thought for a moment and raised his head and said. Before waiting for Yeda to answer, Fang Yi thought that there might be many people who wanted to make trouble with twenty thousand dollars at once, so he corrected himself and said:
"No, two hundred thousand dollars at a time. If it's an authentic painting by a famous artist, we won't charge you. For other things, let the person who sent you the painting write a check!"
As soon as the two hundred thousand dollars was exported, Yeda, who was standing next to Fang Yi, was stunned. He thought to himself: It turned out to be a rabbit fee. Now it has suddenly risen to a sky-high price of two hundred thousand dollars. This is too sudden. This price is still high.
Will someone come?
Thinking of this, he asked Fang Yi: "Isn't it a bit too high?".
Fang Yi thought about these fake things that bothered him, and immediately said: "I didn't force them to come. If they think it's expensive, they don't have to come! It just so happens that I have some peace and quiet!".
"What if someone comes with something that they know is authentic?"
"Then it's all 200,000, so let's do it!" Fang Yi raised his hand and said directly.
What is the role of a housekeeper? It is to firmly arrange the reasonable requirements for employment and housing. After hearing what Fang Yi said, Yeda did not ask any more questions, but took care of practical matters. Anyone who called again asked for appraisal.
I received the answer from the steward Yeda, two hundred thousand at a time.
He wanted to charge two hundred thousand dollars for just one glance? The people who lined up to take advantage of Fang Yi were immediately frightened and dispersed like birds and beasts. They were all gone and no one was left. Not to mention a few famous people in modern times.
The appraisal institutions in other countries do not charge such high fees. In the eyes of these people, Fang Yi is not a robbery on the road, but simply a burglary!
Soon, the reputation of two hundred thousand yuan spread. Of course, it was not a good reputation. Some people began to use this matter to tease Fang Yi. It is a common phenomenon to say that Fang Yi is crazy about money. For
For an artist who has not had any works on the market for almost two years, Jiang
These people are interested in talents that have exhausted their talents. The 200,000 appraisal fee once again pushed Fang Yi into the limelight. Some art critics who had already disliked Fang Yi jumped out and ridiculed Fang Yi for his lack of creation.
Inspiration, I just want to earn some living expenses from this.
No matter what foreigners talk about equality and human rights, the invisible ceiling is always there and lingers! As it is now, Fang Yi has not published many works, so he has been ridiculed by many critics, but the same works are extremely
Damien Hirst, who had few children, and needed help from assistants to create a work, had lost his previous spirituality. He was ridiculed far less fiercely than Fang Yi. The reason was simply that Fang Yi had yellow skin and was very distinguished.
Ste has a white face.
Fang Yi squatted in his studio and didn't care about this. However, Keshma and Anders began to respond strongly to Fang Yi's argument that he had lost his spirituality. Rude even made a mockery of these issues directly to the media.
People are just clowns. Fang Yi doesn’t have many works, but the works of Keshma and Anders are all
There are recent outstanding performances, showing that he has successfully explored a new painting style and a style that is more popular with the market. Keshma's orthodox linearism has taken it to a higher level, while Anders's new direction has been praised by art critics.
It can be said that it has a silent sense of mystery and exudes a fascinating spiritual touch. Two new styles have taken hold at the same time.
And this time it’s not just linearism friends. Michael Carson, who saw Fang Yi’s works on his easel, also came out to support Fang Yi, saying that Fang Yi is an extremely outstanding artist.
In short, because of this incident, the art media was in a state of excitement. However, these seemed to have nothing to do with Fang Yi. Fang Yi still stayed in his studio, thinking, and completed his third work, also a river.
However, this time it is in the style of post-Indianism. When the works created by Fang Yi in recent times are combined, it seems that Fang Yi is re-taking the road of history.
.From classicism to realistic romanticism, and then to post-Indianism, different artistic styles in the same section of the river give people completely different feelings. Every time he thinks about completing the work, Fang Yi feels that he is far from grasping his mind.
The flash in my heart went even further. It seemed like something in my mind was constantly telling me: You are almost close. You are almost close!
Every time I feel like this, some representative figures will always appear in my mind, and their masterpieces will appear in my mind as if out of thin air. And now what Fang Yi appears is Kandinsky,
Master of abstract lyricism and the father of abstract painting.
Fang Yi didn't know why this master that he didn't like popped up in his mind, but he knew that he could definitely learn something from here, so he naturally thought about it carefully. Now Fang Yi's works about the river
It's getting faster and faster. However, the time to think between the two works is getting longer and longer, which means that the time spent in daze is getting longer and longer each time.
Yeda looked through the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the house and saw a 50% to 60% new Ford parked in the parking space next to the house. He couldn't help but put a smile on his face and opened the door and walked out to greet the man who had just got off the car.
girl.
As usual, when there is no performance or rehearsal with her colleagues, Zheng Yuan will bring her cello to Fang Yi's place. While practicing, she also plays for Fang Yi, and chats with Fang Yi.
"Miss Zheng! Today came very quickly," Yeda said with a smile as she watched Zheng Yuan get out of the car, took out her white lacquered piano case from the trunk, and walked towards her.
"Hello Yeda. I have good luck today and the journey has been smooth." Zheng Yuan smiled and greeted Yeda, and then asked: "Where is Fang Yi?" But after asking, he shook his head and smiled: "
It’s no use asking, of course he is in the studio now!”.
"Sir, you are in the studio!" Yeda nodded and said.
The two of them walked and chatted for a while before entering the room. Zheng Yuan directly waved to Yeda and walked towards the studio.
Yeda looked at Zheng Yuan's back until he could no longer see her, and then sat down on the sofa. Yeda knew that Fang Yi looked at Zheng Yuan differently. Every time Zheng Yuan came, Fang Yi seemed particularly happy, and as long as
When Zheng Yuan comes, Fang Yi can show his former self. The smile on his face can last as long as Zheng Yuan stays. Yeda can also feel that Zheng Yuan is interested in
Fang Yi's strands of affection. In Yeda's opinion, the two are really well matched. One is a famous painter and the other is a cello player. Both of them have a certain quality that makes people feel gentle and polite.
But they are not so close that there is no barrier. There is a slight sense of distance. In some ways, Zheng Yuan is like a female version of Fang Yi.
Why didn't Fang Yi pursue it directly and express his thoughts? Yeda has never understood this question. Because in Yeda's view, Zheng Yuan is a very diligent and self-disciplined girl, almost as good as Fang Yi
Similarly, she spends most of her time practicing the piano, and in less than two years she has become a cellist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. From what she said, it seems that the Boston Symphony Orchestra has also expressed some interest in her, and she may have the opportunity to join this organization.
The top band in the United States, what a perfect match!
Yeda doesn't understand that it is precisely because of this series of things that Fang Yi has stopped moving forward to maintain this friendship. With hard work and a girlfriend who may have to be separated, hasn't Fang Yi experienced enough?
