"Tony, lend me your life!" Lauren said to Tangning after a fierce fight in Kimmel's apartment that day.
"Who do you want?" Tangning asked casually.
"The main reason for reliable people is that I have just arrived and my subordinates have not yet trained reliable people. Otherwise, I would have sent people there myself!" Lauren explained.
"Why are you so anxious?" Tang Ning asked again.
Lauren whispered into Tangning's ear: "Tony, do you feel that the new Miss Alexander is strange?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "It's a bit strange. Apart from the time she came to say hello once when she first moved here, I've never seen her before!"
"I think I may know why!" Lauren said proudly.
"Oh? Why?" Tangning asked curiously.
Lauren shook her head and replied: "I'm not sure about this yet, so I need Tony to lend me a person to go to Memphis to find Miss Margaret!"
"Why are you checking her?" Tangning asked in confusion.
"Because I suspect that this Alexander is actually Margaret from Memphis. I seemed to have seen her in Memphis two years ago, but I didn't have a deep impression, so I need to verify it!" Lauren replied.
"Oh, that's it, that's okay, then I'll ask Adrian to come find you!"
Unexpectedly, Lauren stopped him and said, "Don't let him come to me. Then our relationship will be exposed. Just ask him to go to Memphis to find someone who looks very similar to Miss Alexander, named Margaret."
It’s best to get a portrait or photo of the dancer!”
"Okay, I'll tell him to go to Memphis tomorrow!" Tangning nodded and agreed.
What surprised Tangning was that when he ordered Adrian to go to Memphis the next day, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "Master, it's not that I don't obey your orders, but I feel that I am not a suitable person.
To do this kind of thing, and it happens that Uncle Robert is going to Memphis for a trip, so Master, why don't you let him investigate this Miss Margaret!"
To be honest, Tangning also knew that Adrian was not suitable for this kind of investigation work, but he had no choice. He really didn't have any suitable candidates. However, he was a little surprised when he heard that the old butler Rob happened to be going to Memphis: "
Oh? Rob is going to travel to Memphis? This old guy is pretty good at walking! Okay, then call him over and leave this matter to him. In addition, I have paid for his expenses for this trip to Memphis.
!”
After arranging this matter, Tangning was just about to sit down and have a cup of coffee, but the maid Marlene came in and reported that a Mr. Rollins from New York wanted to see her.
So Tangning had to go to the living room and saw Mr. Rollins introducing himself: "Hello, Mr. Tangning, I am Robin - Rollins. I heard Mr. Warner say that Mr. Downing, you have a painting of Mr. Madison here."
His work "Paris in Dreams", I wonder if you can let me see it?"
Although Tangning didn't understand why Rollins came all the way from New York to New Orleans just to see this painting, she still nodded and agreed, "Okay, please come to the studio with me!"
After seeing Madison's "Paris in a Dream", Rollins seemed very excited. He admired it for a long time and then asked Tangning: "Mr. Tangning, can you sell this painting to me?"
Tangning shook her head and refused without hesitation: "Sorry, Mr. Rollins, I also like this painting very much, so I have no plans to sell it for the time being!"
"I can offer a high price"
Before Rollins could finish what he said, Tangning interrupted: "Mr. Rollins, do you think I am short of money? Well, you can leave me your contact information. When will I
If I plan to sell this painting, I will contact you as soon as possible!"
Rollins persisted for a while, but when he saw that Tangning really didn't want to sell, he had to give up, but he still left his address.
Tangning saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Mr. Rawlins, are you familiar with Mr. Warner?"
Rollins shook his head and replied: "Not very familiar. Mr. Warner and I met at the New York art exhibition not long ago. Because we have similar views on art, we got along very well. Inadvertently, he met me
I mentioned this painting, so I took the liberty of coming here to see if I could buy it from you, Mr. Tangning!"
Tangning thought Rollins's answer was normal, because in his impression, Warner was indeed a person who liked painting very much, otherwise he would not have bought so many of Madison's works.
In order to make up for Rollins' regret, Tangning pointed to other oil paintings in the studio and said, "Actually, Mr. Warner and I like similar styles, so Mr. Rollins, you can take a look at the other oil paintings here if you are interested.
Yes, I can give you one!"
Rollins originally planned to decline, but he accidentally saw a painting and said softly: "Hey, Mr. Tangning, why do you have this painting here?"
Tangning looked in the direction he pointed and found that he was referring to the painting "Lady on the Sofa" that he gave to Camilla. Of course, this painting was another one he painted based on his memory.
So he smiled and replied: "Of course I have it here, because I painted this painting!"
"Did you paint this painting?" Rollins asked in surprise.
Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, why have you seen this painting before?"
"Yes, I have seen this painting in New York, but there is no signature of the artist on the painting!"
"Actually, there is, but you didn't notice it. Do you think the pattern on this sofa looks very similar to my last name, Tang Ning?" Tang Ning said, pointing to a pattern on the edge of the sofa.
Lorraine suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is your signature?"
In fact, many painters like to leave their names and marks on paintings in this relatively special way. For example, the great German painter Albrecht Dürer liked to do this kind of thing. He not only found one in all his works,
He left his signature in a hidden place, and even painted himself into the crowd in some paintings, even holding up his signature.
The reason for doing this is actually very simple, just to prevent theft, because human nature is the same, and there were a lot of plagiarism, plagiarism, and impersonation in that era, so writers, painters and other art practitioners were forced to take various methods to protect themselves.
rights and interests.
PS: I recommend iQiyi's "Wildness Hotel". The title is a bit silly, but the content is good, a bit like "No Man's Land", and the plot design is also very complete. As a small-budget network, it can be made like this.
