Hearing Fang Yi's question, Jackson thought for a moment and said, "I can't answer you right away. Why don't you wait until the owner of this painting comes to ask tomorrow?"
Because there is no clearing item in Fang Yi's contract. Of course, Fang Yi himself didn't want to do this thing before, but now he wants to do it and there is no contract. You said this was the reason.
What Jackson said makes sense. Once you are sure it is an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, you can’t mess with it. If you carry this drawing knife with you, you may lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Who can bear this responsibility?
Since this was the case, Fang Yi felt that it was not a problem to stay here with a bunch of people staring at each other, and it would be fine if he went back to the hotel, so he simply ran to the unexhibited area of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and looked at it.
There are some collections of Chinese paintings and cultural relics.
In this way, he stayed in the Metropolitan Museum until he got off work, and then Fang Yi returned to the hotel. When he returned to the Metropolitan Museum again the next morning, as soon as he opened the door of the appraisal room, Fang Yi saw what was in the room today.
There is an older man in a suit and tie.
"Mr. Fang, this is Mr. Simon, the owner of this work." Jackson saw Fang Yi walking in and immediately introduced the old man in a suit to Fang Yi.
"Hello, hello!"
"I admire you for a long time, I admire you for a long time!" The two of them exchanged greetings, not sure whether it was true or not. Fang Yi didn't know what he admired for a long time. Anyway, he knew that Simon was a gallery owner and an expert on ancient paintings.
, As for whether Fang Yizhen knew this person before, to be honest, he had never heard of him.
Listening to the lackluster chat between the two, Jackson introduced: "Simon is also an appraiser of ancient paintings, and he asked to clean up the things on it with us. I am very happy to hear that you are also joining in...
”.
As soon as Jackson finished speaking, the old man Simon smiled at Fang Yi and nodded: "It's my honor to be able to work with Mr. Fang!"
Fang Yi understood as soon as he heard it. These people were ready to go, and he didn't know if they could fit so many heads in front of such a big painting.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start quickly." When Fang Yi heard that others didn't seem to reject his proposal, he shouldn't talk too much nonsense and just do it! As he spoke, he was ready to stroke
He rolled up his sleeves and then asked Jackson: "Where can I change into work clothes?".
"No need to change it yet. Let's discuss how to do it!" Jackson smiled at Fang Yi and said.
"Ah!" Fang Yi couldn't help but paused in his heart. Originally, Fang Yi thought that this was just a scene, which meant that he could just do so many heads and watch from the side.
Who has any interest in discussing a clean-up plan? Now I heard that Jackson meant that he still wanted to talk about some plan with them. Once this thing was brought up, it would really be a matter of months and years. Fang Yizhen didn’t have much interest in staying here and just doing it.
In one or two months, I collected a total of 100,000 US dollars from others and stayed there for two months? And maybe even longer. Do you have this kind of friendship with these people?
Fang Yi opened his mouth and said directly: "When I clean the paintings, I go straight up to start work. It's the same in Versailles. It's the same in Italy!".
Fang Yi said that he cleaned and restored two paintings last year. One was a work by Anibale Karachi and the other was a work by François Gérard. Fang Yi cleaned these two paintings.
It took a total of two months to repair it, and it was done piecemeal.
Jackson couldn't help but glance at Simon after hearing this.
After Simon and Gekesun looked at each other, they said to Fang Yi: "I'm sorry, I can't allow you to treat this work so hastily. I hope that after joining the group, you can follow the external processing steps of ancient paintings.
Because this painting is not the work of Anibale Carracci nor Francois Gérard, it is the original work of Leonardo da Vinci!".
Simon wanted to be strong when he said this. In Simon's opinion, how could he let Fang Yi directly attack him? This is Da Vinci! Although Fang Yi is famous, who should I go to if I damage him? Let you compensate him.
,How can you, Fang Yi, pay for this!
Simon was very polite to Fang Yi, but from some aspects, his impression of Fang Yi was not very good. Although he did not express it with his mouth, he thought so in his heart: Fang Yi is just like that, and he is only half as good as others.
Come to 50%.
And in a sense, Simon is a gallerist, and there will always be some pop-spectrum, symbolism, and other artists on hand. Now these people are no longer easy to associate with, and their works can no longer fool others, so naturally they cannot be sold.
Considering the price, of course there is a loss. However, Simon has not signed many contracts and is not well-known, so the impact is very small, and the impact on his income is also very small. If it were not for that and Fang Yi, it can be said that there is a loss.
The enemies were extremely jealous when they met.
The main conflict between the two people is the so-called mutual contempt between peers, which is roughly what it looks like! As for being polite, there is an idiom called duplicity, which expresses this meaning very well.
Originally I just thought so in my heart, but I naturally expressed it when I encountered this matter. The tone when I said it was a bit unkind. There was a strong tone in it, which seemed to mean that I joined in and followed a professional pace.
, please leave if you don’t join.
When Fang Yi heard this, he looked at Simon and nodded and said, "Then just follow the contract!".
After hearing what others said, Fang Yi was no longer interested in asking to help others clean up any paintings. To be honest, Fang Yi felt a little annoyed now. In short, such a tone made Fang Yi feel very unhappy. Master Fang was also at this time
I'm a little cautious!
He smiled at Simon and nodded, and then gestured to Jackson: "Then I will go back to Los Angeles first, and after you have cleaned up the painting, I will come over and have a look!" After saying this,
Fang Yi turned around and walked out the door.
When Jackson saw Fang Yi turning around to leave, he couldn't help but follow Fang Yi into the corridor, and then said to Fang Yi: "Mr. Fang, will we let you know when we finish cleaning up?".
Now Fang Yi is not interested in helping others repair paintings. When it comes to this matter, how can Fang Yi care about Leonardo da Vinci's works?
"You prepare a standard-sized wooden board for me. Then send it to me, and prepare some antique paint for me. I will paint in Los Angeles. You can figure it out after that!" I thought about it!
After a moment, Fang Yi said directly.
When Jackson heard this and looked at Fang Yi's face, he nodded, and thought to himself: This is the only way to do it! This person was not forced by him or the Metropolitan Museum, and theoretically speaking, when Simon started
It was the museum that I found. As for Fang Yi, he was invited by the museum.
At this time, although Simon had a smile on his face, he did not take this matter seriously at all. Because as soon as the news spread, some critics he knew commented on this work.
Discovery is one of the most meaningful things in the history of painting in the past hundred years. It is an honor for you, Fang Yi, to participate!
Simon thinks it's good that Fang Yi doesn't participate, because the time to use Fang Yi has already passed. In other words, in Simon's opinion, Fang Yi only needs to admit that this is a work by Leonardo da Vinci.
Fang Yi returned to the hotel. The next day, he went out with Li Yuncong and his daughter for a whole day. After getting what he wanted, he turned around and returned to Los Angeles.
Wang Hanmo watched Fang Yi concentrate on mixing the paints. Some of the paints brought back from the museum immediately seemed different in his eyes under Fang Yi's manipulation.
"Teacher, do you really want to draw another painting?" Wang Hanmo couldn't help but ask, looking at Fang Yi's stirring hands.
"Yeah! Sometimes it's easier to paint by yourself than to repair on it!" Fang Yi looked at the paint in his hand and said. Leonardo da Vinci used to use Tempela, and the one Fang Yi mixed was also
.It’s just that some volatile modern solvents are added to ensure that the drying speed is appropriate.
Fang Yi felt that he had lost face. Of course he wanted to get his face back! Now Fang Yi just wanted to get this thing back. Of course, if the things he drew fell into Simon's hands, Fang Yi would never be stupid.
I'll paint one myself to give to this old Simon.
Now, I have an agreement with the Met, not Simon. It would be weird if something I drew could get into Simon's hands! As long as it is something I drew, the Met will most likely not
It will be handed over to Simon, Fang Yi is very sure of this.
In order to regain his face, Fang Yi wanted to pay great attention to this Tempera work. He not only improved the paint, but also put a lot of effort into polishing the wooden board. The entire wooden surface and the base are now
I've done it nearly twenty times.
This thing was not done by Fang Yi himself, but by his apprentice Wang Hanmo who actually did it. Fang Yi just talked and said no, no! Or polish it a little smoother. Until this kid did it thirty-seven times,
Fang Yi then nodded, indicating that he was good at it.
While Fang Yi was finally mixing the paint on the palette and preparing to paint on the wooden board on the easel, he said to Wang Hanmo who was standing next to him: "Hanmo, now you are going to see the great master Leonardo da Vinci.
A masterpiece is created in front of you, pay attention!".
After saying that, Fang Yi entered Da Vinci's mode, and then mentally stepped aside. Now it was Da Vinci in Fang Yi's mind controlling Fang Yi's body, and Fang Yi's own consciousness became
bystander.
Wang Hanmo looked a little stupid, because now in his eyes, the teacher does not look like his 'teacher'. Some habits and actions make Wang Hanmo feel strange, but it is obvious that Wang Hanmo thinks that his consciousness is hallucinating.
Because the person in front of you is obviously your teacher.
Fighting for breath without eating steamed buns is not a short period of time. Fang Yi spent a total of three months to complete this work of Leonardo da Vinci, and he was guaranteed to have five hours every day.
I used it on this work, and finally this work was completed when the one in the Met was halfway through editing.
Fang Yi looked at this piece of his own and finally sighed involuntarily.
"Mr. Fang, that's great!" The recipient sent by the Metropolitan Museum looked at the thing in front of him and said happily to Fang Yi.
"Take it away!" Fang Yi put a piece of cloth over the work, and then waved to the staff, telling them to take the work away. Fang Yi was afraid that he would not be able to part with it if he looked at it any longer.
Let the piece go.
Because as soon as Fang Yi finished the painting, he knew that if this work was an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, it would definitely be regarded as his pinnacle work, even the "Mona Lisa" would be inferior.
Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately said to the two people behind him: "Take out the picture frame and painting bag you brought!" After saying that, he watched one person take out the leather painting bag, and immediately reached out to take it, carefully
He took off the wooden board from Fang Yi's easel, then placed it on the table and installed the picture frame. Finally, he padded the corners to prevent the soft wrapping cloth from touching the top layer that had not yet dried, and then put the leather bag in.
inside.
"Mr. Fang, let's say goodbye then!" the staff member asked Fang Yi, looked at Fang Yi and nodded, and then left the studio with the two people who came to pick up the paintings with him.
Fang Yi heard the studio door ring softly, then walked to the window, watched the three people get into the car, and then disappeared from Fang Yi's sight.
"Why do you think I'm doing this? Hanmo." Fang Yi looked at the car that was no longer visible and said to his student in a confused manner.
Wang Hanmo's answer made Fang Yi unexpected: "Teacher! Only in this way will you look real, and you will be unhappy and annoyed...".
"Okay, okay!" Fang Yi laughed immediately after hearing this, and his mood suddenly became better: "That's right, it's better to hold back than to vent the bad anger!".
Wang Hanmo couldn't help but laugh along with the teacher after hearing this.
Is this what a master is like? He can give up hundreds of millions of dollars because of an idea, or he can vent his anger on someone else because of a trivial matter! Wang Hanmo thought as he looked at the smile on his teacher's face. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels
