Did Zou Heming come here to bully you? To be honest, there is no such meaning in it. Of course, the main purpose of this call is not to bully you. This is just incidental. Why do you want to bully a top photography agency? Isn’t that not fun?
, if you want to do it, you can only do it casually like Zou Heming.
"I'm calling you this time to tell you something!" Zou Heming sat sideways on his desk with the phone in his hand and said to Wright on the other end.
Wright's tone was very calm: "What do you want to say!".
"The Japanese have already called and said that several scholars want to discuss this issue with Fang face to face." Zou Heming told Wright everything in detail.
After hearing this, Wright said: "Thank you!" After thinking for a moment, he said to Zou Heming on the other end of the phone: "I hope our cooperation can continue!".
Although Sotheby's is large, the current world art market is not very prosperous due to the impact of the economy. The transaction volume has remained relatively sluggish in the past two years. On the contrary to this sluggishness are the works of Fang Yi and Bobile.
Now the works of these two people can be said to be the most sought-after. Lawrence Gallery not only has Fang Yi, but also people like Keshma.
In the light of Fang Yi, the so-called Five Masters of Linearism, these four people are very popular among Chinese fashionistas. The works of the four Keshimas can be said to be among the very few living Western artists recognized by Chinese fashionistas.
After all, it was an income, and Wright didn't want to give it up. For businessmen, face is sometimes worthless.
The two talked nonsense, and Zou Heming put down the phone. He moved his buttocks off his desk, sat back on the chair, and held his chin with one hand and thought for a long time. Zou Heming then raised his hand and touched it again.
He picked up the phone on the table. But as soon as his hand touched it, he retracted it and continued to touch his chin.
"How can we let Yi accept a visit from the Japanese!" Zou Heming scratched his chin and said to himself. As a Chinese American who has lived in the United States for two or three generations, and who doesn't look very Chinese,
It's hard to understand why Fang Yi doesn't like Japanese soldiers.
Although Zou Heming has a Chinese name, he is still essentially an American, and an authentic American. In Zou Heming's heart, he thinks: Long live Amariken. Moreover, Americans fought in World War II.
When they defeated the Japanese, the Japs were America's defeated generals. As an American today, we have a kind of mentality towards things like the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. If you dare to sneak attack on us, this is the end! Come with this kind of mentality.
Look at the relationship between the United States and Japan.
Zou Heming hopes that Fang Yi's works can arouse the interest of wealthy Japanese people. Of course, it is best if he signs them all so that they can arouse the interest of the Japanese. As for whether the Japanese will hang or burn the works when they buy them back, that is not Zou Heming.
It’s something I’m willing to care about. From some aspects, Zou Heming believes that the Japanese buy one of Fang Yi’s works every year and burn it immediately on the spot. In this way, Fang Yi’s works will become rarer and more valuable.
After pondering for almost half an hour, Zou Heming picked up the phone and dialed Fang Yi.
Waiting for the phone call to come through, Zou Heming asked Fang Yi on the other end of Sotheby Gallery's attitude: "Why can't you honestly admit your mistake when you say these stupid things? Then you became a consultant
.With the extra income, your works can also increase. I can also get a little more commission. It doesn’t have to be so troublesome to make everyone happy!”
Fang Yi laughed after hearing this: "You are the one who is happy, I am so happy than I am!".
There is no benefit at all for Softby to do this. Not only will he lose face, but he will also lose his reputation. In the end, he will also lose money. Of course, if he can resist it for a day, it will count. The above incident just happened and now this incident has happened.
Although it is more expensive than the auction insiders a few years ago,
Much smaller, but now is not the time for either Sophoby or Castel, because the current market situation has changed from being evenly divided across the river to three-thirds of the world, with Phipps in third place.
Maybe I can catch up soon.
"What if they are right and I am wrong!" Fang Yi couldn't help but make a joke.
Zou Heming was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked Fang Yi: "No way, you have discovered something bad?" Zou Heming was not in the mood to joke about this matter, if it was really Fang Yi's side
Wrong, let alone the appraisal consultant who was originally considered, even Fang Yi's original reputation may be lost all of a sudden.
"I just said that casually!" Fang Yi heard Zou Heming's voice trembling a little on the phone, and immediately explained: "Don't worry, when have you ever seen me suffer a loss when buying a painting?".
"Don't make such jokes with me during this period!" Zou Heming said repeatedly into the phone.
The two chatted for a while, and then Zou Heming asked Fang Yi: "Are you interested in teaching a bunch of people a lesson in front of them? Tell them why you are so sure that the works you sold are authentic and the Japanese ones are fake.
?”.
After hearing this, Fang Yi said directly without thinking: "Even if I want to teach others a lesson, I have to let others understand it! That's not possible for a half-hearted person!".
People who have a bottle that is less than half full cannot explain at all. These people always think that what they say is correct and do not believe in the advice given by others, just like the person Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin met who bought Fang Yi's fake
Just like those who write, their minds are just stuck. How can such a person have any interest in explaining anything to them?
"I understand, I understand!" Zou Heming said quickly, while thinking that they are all masters of Japanese art appraisal, there is nothing you said that I can't understand!
"That's alright!" Fang Yi thought that Zou Heming was planning to launch an attack on Suo Fubi. In order to cooperate with Zou Heming's plan, he prepared to remind some appraisers of "where" he could tell the real thing.
Fake.
Zou Heming pretended to think for a while and said: "These people alone are not enough. I wonder if some Japanese people can come over to support the scene?".
"Why do you want the Japanese to come here?" Fang Yi was a little unhappy when he heard it. It's nothing to have a little devil dangling in front of his eyes when he has nothing to do! Another old saying: a toad crawls on the feet.
.It doesn’t bite, it’s disgusting, isn’t it?
Zou Heming explained to Fang Yi: "Get a few people to educate you! If the Japanese show up, it can put a little pressure on the filming studio, and my plan can be launched! Don't worry about these people.
I won’t tangle with you if I have nothing to do. If you don’t want to pay attention to them, just ignore them. You can just let me arrange this!..." Zou Heming began to explain to Fang Yi how necessary it was in his plan.
Use these Japanese spare tires.
"Let me think about it again!" Fang Yi was a little resistant to this thing, thinking that he had nothing to do but chat with a bunch of Japanese!
Hearing that Fang Yi's words were not sealed, Zou Heming knew that he was in for something, so he didn't worry anymore and chatted with Fang Yi for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After Zou Heming put down the phone, he was ready to harass Fang Yi and grind him down, so that a few old Japanese men could sneak into the team, and then his gallery could open up a niche in the Japanese market. Since the last time, five people and one person painted.
Ever since I bought a work about the Ishicheng Massacre, Japanese galleries and art fans seem to have been a bit cold towards their own people.
"This is not something that a businessman should see and be indifferent to!" Zou Heming said softly to himself.
Fang Yi is squatting in the studio to complete his work, and his three models have also arrived today. After putting down the phone, Fang Yi continued to paint his work.
"Yi, I have passed the interview in Paris!" Miranda said happily to Fang Yi who was looking at him coming in.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yi immediately replied: "Congratulations!" After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Lily and Amy, which meant to ask you two how the results were.
At this time, Amy said to Fang Yi: "I can't go during that time, but there happens to be a show in New York!".
"Amy's show is a little more high-end," Miranda said to Fang Yi with a little envy: "It's a work conference of a famous British fashion designer!".
"Congratulations to you too!".
"Lily doesn't go to Paris because she has a commercial to shoot!" Amy glanced at Lily and said to Fang Yi.
After observing it for a while, Fang Yi could easily tell something from the faces of these girls. Now Fang Yi knew that all three girls thought that Lily had the best chance, and Amy had the second best chance, so they went to Luan Xiao.
Miranda, who was revealed to be a model on the catwalk for the first time, now seems to have the worst chance. Because one is a famous cosmetics, the other is a famous designer, and Luan Xiao is not famous. Not only is he not famous, but he is also a newcomer!
It is understandable for the three girls to think so. How much attention can a Chinese fashion designer get for his first show in Paris? Even if friends like Fang Yi come to support them, the media will probably focus on people like Fang Yi.
body, rather than the fashion show itself.
Regarding being Fang Yi's model, the three girls all felt that they were on the right track. When the media started to speculate on Fang Yi and Bobile's vision for choosing models, the three of them gained much more attention than before. And this
Most of this kind of attention is positive and will not affect your modeling career. In other words, taking off your clothes in an artist's studio is different from going to work in Playboy magazine. Although they are both naked, the nature of the light is different.
One is for art and the other is for magazines.
Sometimes exposure is not the most important thing, Guan Jian depends on where to expose it! So Lily can receive cosmetics endorsements, but Playboy cover girls generally do not have such opportunities.
The three of them are obviously not so enthusiastic about being Luan Xiao's models now. If there were not enough jobs in the past, and it was all meat in the bowl, now the three girls have started to pick jobs, and it is hard to see.
If you don’t want your eyes, you don’t want them anymore.
"That's really congratulations to you. I'll treat you to a nice drink sometime!" Fang Yi only needs the model to be able to do it without delaying his painting progress. The model's life and career will develop better. For Fang Yi
It's a good thing for me, so naturally I have to show my happiness on my face.
"Then treat us to a drink of Golden Eagle Feathers later," Amy said with a smile to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi nodded after hearing this: "That's it. As soon as the meeting is over, I will treat you to a drink. Not only will I drink it, but I will also give you a bottle each. It can be considered a gift from me to congratulate you!".
Bang bang bang! The five models immediately clapped their hands happily after hearing this.
Not five minutes after Fang Yi finished talking, the phone in his pocket vibrated again. Fang Yi picked it up and looked at the number, with a bitter look on his face. It was a call from Nick in Paris. (To be continued...)
