Fang Yi heard Popile repeat it, but this time he understood it a little bit. He understood, but his face became more confused. He couldn't help but asked Bobile: "What are you doing?"
, kick or something!”.
After saying that, Fang Yi couldn't help but scratch his head and thought to himself: I haven't done anything bad this year, so why has my French deteriorated so much? I have never heard of such a thing before! And it doesn't make sense.
Ah, I still understand the old guy and I were discussing who was first for the past two minutes!
"Titania crazy! Chinese!" Popile said to Fang Yi with a smug expression on his face.
"What are you talking about about nymphomaniacs? Translate this thing into Chinese? What are you talking about!" Fang Yi's eyes were full of confusion. He didn't know what this old guy Popile was going to mean.
Popile said: "The pronunciation of the three words "Tihua crazy" is Chinese and tells a story!" Then Popile began to tell Fang Yi this so-called folk tale, and it was also in Chinese.
Fang Yi listened for a long time and finally understood a Chinese general picking up a catapult. He didn't know what general was so awesome that he could even pick up a catapult. It was also a Chinese folk tale.
Fang Yi's head suddenly grew in size again.
"Why don't you find someone who can explain clearly to me, what are you talking about? Jacquard crazy, Jacquard crazy! What Chinese generals are you talking about? I feel even more confused!" Fang Yi said directly to
Pobil said.
Upon hearing this, Bobile turned around and waved to his apprentice Dean, who was two meters away from him.
Fang Yi watched Dean trotting over with a smile on his face. Looking at Dean's movements, Fang Yi immediately thought of a puppy in his mind. It seemed that Bobil had greeted or whistled, and Di
En then ran over happily with his tongue hanging out.
Shaking his head, he pushed the image out of his mind. Fang Yi waited for Dean to explain to him what the Chinese folk tale Tihualuo was, and Lao Bo also said that it was a famous story!
Dean didn't say anything when he arrived in front of Fang Yi and the two of them. He took out a sketchbook from the bag he was carrying, then put it in his hand and wrote on it with a pencil for almost two minutes. He finished.
From now on, he looked left and right. He seemed to doubt whether what he wrote was correct, so he paused for about ten seconds before sending the notebook to Fang Yi.
After taking the notebook, Fang Yi saw three crooked characters written on it. And it couldn't be said that the structure was beautiful. Fang Yi was confused and couldn't see what was written. The left and right parts of a character were eight feet apart.
, like a couple getting divorced.
Fang Yi, who was still guessing, looked at these three words and asked Popile: "You said it's an iron pulley?" After saying that, he wrote down these three words in his notebook and handed it to Dean.
in front of.
Dean nodded repeatedly when he saw the three words written by Fang Yi neatly. He kept saying yes, yes!
It was then that Yicai figured it out. It turned out that the folk tale Bobil told was "The Iron Pulley", which was about a fictional character named Gao Chong, who was a fierce general in the Yue Family Army! There are not many stories in Yue's biography.
, but although there are not many scenes, the image of an unparalleled warrior is vividly displayed.
"You said our next competition will be about Gao Chong in the iron pulley?" Fang Yi asked Bobile a little uncertainly.
It’s okay not to ask, this thing is too weird! Lao Bo is addicted to Chinese mythology paintings or something, and now he gave himself a title, which is actually "Iron Pulley".
This story is so suspenseful that Fang Yi didn’t know it. If he hadn’t secretly read the vernacular novel in class when he was in junior high school, he would have been blinded when he heard it now.
Ordinary Chinese people may not know this story, but now it comes from the mouth of a foreigner who was very dissatisfied with Chinese culture a year ago. Although the Chinese can’t help but make people feel constipated, and the apprentice’s Chinese writing also makes people feel...
People want to pull their hair and hit the wall after looking at it, but knowing this story is really surprising.
"That's right! He will be the topic of our next competition!" Popile nodded immediately upon hearing this. Obviously, the old man understood the word "high favor" coming out of Fang Yi's mouth.
Now that this matter was confirmed, Fang Yi couldn't help but give Bobile a thumbs up: "Generally, it would be good if four out of ten Chinese people know the story of the iron pulley. It's amazing that you know it!"
Facts have proved that your 100,000 euros were not in vain!”.
After hearing what Fang Yi said, Popile began to proudly tell Fang Yi about his 'learning method'.
I have to say that Fang Yi was stupid again! I have to admit that the old man in front of him definitely belongs to the category of ruthless and weird. This old boy from Nezha Naohai Painting is a little abnormal!
After listening to the story told by the old professor who studied Chinese mythology, he introduced another old man. Now Bobil and Dean seemed to regard the two hours a day as China connection time as listening to stories.
Yes! Now the old man telling stories has changed several times, but he still doesn't listen to Chinese stories for two hours a day. I guess now Lao Bo will feel uncomfortable all over.
Fang Yi feels that he has made a contribution to the country. A small incident has cultivated two Chinese culture enthusiasts, one older and one younger. Although they are two people who like to listen to stories, they can be regarded as Liao Yousheng, right?
However, as a learning method, Popile’s method is not very popular. Spending hundreds of thousands of euros to listen to a story is too expensive!
"Fang, there is one more thing I want to tell you! It will take a year for this work to be delivered, and part of my energy now needs to be spent on my student Dean!" Popile said to Fang Yi.
He reached out and patted Dean who was standing next to him.
From this action of Lao Bo, we can see how much the old man appreciates and loves Dean.
Looking at this, Fang Yi thought of his teacher and himself for no reason. He was afraid that when his teacher Liu Hongshuo accepted him, others would think the same way about his master and his apprentice. The teacher is awesome and the students are lucky!
"Study well with Henry, this is an extremely rare opportunity. Don't let him down!" Fang Yi blurted out this sentence.
Bobil did not expect that Fang Yi would say this to Dean, because this was the first time that Fang Yi had changed his direction and praised his own interests in front of him, but Bobil recovered quickly.
Dean bent slightly towards Fang Yi: "Thank you, Mr. Fang. I will do it!".
"Yeah!" Fang Yi nodded to Dean, and then said to Bobile: "Then do you think this will work? In the future, we will put the competition time in two years." After thinking for a while, he said: "That is
From now on, every biennial October exhibition, we will exhibit together! Do you think it’s okay?”
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Bobile couldn't help but be stunned, and he opened his mouth and said to Fang Yi: "You are only thirty years old, why don't you create more works?" After thinking about this, he added: "You too
Ready to teach students?”.
In Bobil's view, Fang Yi, who is just in his early thirties, does not spend most of his time on creation. Instead, it is a bit too early to prepare to teach students. According to a normal age, Fang Yi at least
He can still live for forty or fifty years. What's the rush? However, Popile never thought that he was not only a disciple now, but also that he might not have been a little slack on the post-classical scriptures in his heart.
It’s no wonder that the two of them joined forces to push their techniques to an unprecedented peak. Such a peak is not just for others, but also for the two of them. Once again, innovation is not only for the two post-classical masters, but also for the current ones.
They are called the two masters of postclassicism, equally difficult and equally insurmountable.
"While teaching students, I also have to think about what else can be improved and innovated! So I need more time to think," Fang Yi told him straight away.
"Then let's do it. Let's join hands to participate in an October exhibition in two years!" After saying that, Bobile asked directly: "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to Paris!".
Seeing Fang Yi nodding, Bobile turned around and strode towards the door with his apprentice.
When Fang Yi returned to the secret stronghold, someone immediately asked.
"What's the topic for your competition next time?" Zhao Jie asked as soon as Fang Yi sat down.
"Iron pulley!".
"What?"
"What's this?"
Just as Fang Yi expected, everyone looked confused when they heard what Fang Yi said. Even Lu Qikun and Pang Xiaoyong looked confused.
Only Wang Hongqi thought for a moment and asked Fang Yi in confusion: "Iron pulley? There is a famous play in Peking Opera that is this one. Isn't this the one Bobil will play for you?" He looked at Fang Yi and nodded.
.Lao Wang’s eyes were as wide as bells: “What kind of trouble are you two masters going to cause!”.
"Peking Opera?"
"Lao Bo is too cruel!".
Fang Yi looked at his friend and said: "It's not a painting of Peking Opera, it's a story telling that the protagonist is Gao Chong!".
After Fang Yi finished speaking, Wang Hongqi explained the story to several people: "...it's just a story like this. To put it bluntly, it's about a fierce general with a gun and an iron pulley. The thing is fictional and the character Gao Chong does not exist.
". After saying that, he sighed and looked at everyone who let out a long sigh of emotion.
"Alas! A story that is known to all foreigners, but not many of you know it. Don't you feel ashamed!".
Tao Yong, the shameless man, immediately said: "If this is so shameful, wouldn't those who study Chinese porcelain have to wipe their necks when facing Hobson?".
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then began to talk nonsense about this issue. The Hobson Tao Yong mentioned was an Englishman, and it was he who proposed the term Yuan blue and white, rewriting the view that Chinese ceramic experts believed that Yuan Dynasty ceramics had no high-quality products.
point of view.
Fang Yi had no interest in listening to everyone's nonsense, but said to Wang Hongqi: "Let's go on, what do you mean when you say it's unnecessary?".
"Our family moved to this neighborhood!" Wang Hongqi said: "Kathy and I decided to temporarily move to Los Angeles! What she meant was that there was no problem with the children's Chinese, and it was just for them to get in touch with another country.
culture! But I am here just to hang out with the brand of traveling in the United States, and to make money and so on. When the children can live on their own in a few years, Kath and I will still have to go back!"
Fang Yi nodded and said: "This is the best!". When Lao Wang said this, Fang Yi felt better. If a half-year-old child is left in his home, if something happens, he can't say anything.
What Lao Wang is doing now is that it eliminates unnecessary responsibilities for Fang Yi, which is really good and couldn't be better.
As soon as everyone was chatting here, they started talking about the time for the art exhibition, auction and dinner.
"The price is so high now!" Zhang Xu, who was sitting next to Fang Yi, watched as one of his favorite works was taken away by others. He sighed and said, "I think the situation with caps is better than before."
"What you think is beautiful!" Fang Yi said to Zhang Xu while clapping his hands and congratulating the young artist who bought a work of a young artist for US$230,000. How can the young artists selected now be the same as before?
That way, there is no fame at all. Only young artists who can participate in the October Exhibition can truly be considered young artists, especially the last one, who is considered to be somewhat famous.
If these people's works are put up for auction, the cap of tens of thousands of dollars will definitely make the American tax collectors stare at them with red eyes. This is not a good thing, because Americans think that the IRS is not terrible, but the IRS is worse than the IRS.
It's an even more terrifying existence. Those who live in the United States definitely don't want to be targeted by this department.
Zheng Yuan raised her hand several times throughout the dinner, but she didn't take a picture because the guests were too enthusiastic. She didn't take a picture, and her stomach wasn't full. The preview of Fang Yi's October exhibition this year is over. It's not that Fang Yi doesn't want to eat.
, but now reporters have appeared in the venue. If you take something
Xida ate the food fiercely, and Zhang Xu was fine with it. If Fang Yi did this, it would be in the newspaper the next day! In order to avoid such trouble, not only Fang Yi and his wife, but also many guests were very
Eat a little cautiously to maintain your image in front of the reporter's camera. (To be continued...)
