He Ruchu is the dean of the Chinese Painting Academy and has served at CAFA for a long time, so most of the people here today know him.
When he came in just now, the members of the art team all focused on him. However, because the Chinese Painting Academy and the Oil Painting Academy had not had many exchanges or teaching contacts, they were not familiar with He Ruchu, so they were embarrassed to come up.
Say hello.
Of course, most people are embarrassed to come up and say hello, but there are always a few people who are unusual.
For example, Zeng Yun, as a calligraphy and painting dealer, what he needs most is relationships with all walks of life, especially relationships with painters.
Zeng Yun is not entirely engaged in the business of reselling calligraphy and paintings. Sometimes he also acts as an agent for painters.
The vast majority of painters have to sell paintings. After all, painters themselves have to make a living, and art also requires costs, which are not cheap.
And painters can't just go out and shout around to sell paintings. On the one hand, they can't make them look good, and on the other hand, they're not very proficient in this area.
There are some painters who have opened their own galleries and are very successful, but these people are in the minority after all, and the process is no less complicated than selling paintings directly.
Since they can't show up to sell paintings by themselves, they need someone to help them show up.
At this time, Zeng Yun's role came into play. He has been in this industry for so many years, and he has the means to do it. The painter only needs to hand over the painting to him and don't have to worry about anything else. He naturally has a way to sell the painting to a
The painter was satisfied and even surprised by the price.
Then Zeng Yun takes some fees from it as his own remuneration. Generally speaking, this form of agency is a bit like the function of a writer's agent, but selling paintings is a one-time thing, which is a little different from selling books.
This kind of business of selling paintings on behalf of a painter is definitely not as profitable as reselling calligraphy and paintings directly, because if you want to have a good relationship with the painter, you can't charge too high points.
But Zeng Yun still likes to do this kind of business. On the one hand, it can improve his reputation in the industry. On the other hand, being an agent to sell paintings for others is safer, the time cycle is shorter, and you don’t have to advance too much money yourself.
.
For a top painter like He Ruchu in the industry, everyone wants to help him sell his paintings. Let’s not talk about anything else. The commission he can get from selling his paintings is not a small amount. After all, the minimum amount of money He Ruchu can get from selling his paintings is
Seven digits.
"Dean He, hello, I am Zeng Yun, I was also a student of our Central Academy of Fine Arts."
Zeng Yun walked to Zhang Zhong's table and chatted with He Ruchu with a smile.
He Ruchu had just finished his meal. He looked up at Zeng Yun and said politely, "Hello, you're welcome."
Zeng Yun handed over another business card, "Look at it, this is my business card. If you need anything in the future, just ask me."
He Ruchu took the business card and glanced at it, a little surprised and said, "You opened a literary company? Don't you want to paint now?"
Zeng Yun said quickly, "I definitely still paint, but now I just paint for fun, and I can't compare with other students."
He Ruchu smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Drawing and playing is actually a state of mind. As long as you still maintain your love for drawing, it doesn't matter which line of work you are doing now."
"Thank you very much, Dean He, for your teaching. I will definitely keep it in my heart and never forget my original intention." Zeng Yun said, "I have no other reason to come here. I just want to get to know you. I am satisfied that I can say a few words to you. Then
I won’t disturb you anymore, I’ll go back first.”
Although Zeng Yun was thick-skinned, he also knew that he would stop there and if he continued to stay like this, He Ruchu would be disgusted.
Not long after Zeng Yun left, Pan Jianfeng also came.
Pan Jianfeng and Zeng Yun's conversational styles were completely different. When they came up, they said, "Teacher He, long time no see."
He Ruchu had no impression of Pan Jianfeng's face at all, but when he said that, he seemed to know him, so he was not sure, so he smiled and said, "Oh, hello, hello."
Although Wu Ziyun is usually dull, he could tell that He Ruchu didn't know Pan Jianfeng, so he took the initiative to introduce him, "Pan Jianfeng is also an outstanding student in our Oil Painting Academy, and he has developed very well since returning."
"Oh, yes, that's good. It's not easy for you to achieve such achievements at such a young age. If you develop well, you will have a bright future." He Ruchu said a polite word and had no idea of continuing the exchange.
Pan Jianfeng said, "Dean He, you have given me too much praise. I want to apologize to you. I was young and ignorant, and I said some crazy things that offended you. I hope you don't mind."
He Ruchu raised his eyebrows. He didn't even know what Pan Jianfeng was talking about, but he couldn't ask Pan Jianfeng what he said back then.
Wu Ziyun had no way to help explain, so he could only watch.
"Oh, no problem, no problem." He Ruchu waved his hand.
Pan Jianfeng smiled and said, "Thank you very much, I'll go back first."
After Pan Jianfeng left, He Ruchu said with a puzzled look, "Who is this Pan Jianfeng? Why do I have no memory at all? Judging from his age, he should have graduated not long ago. I don't know that he can't remember such recent things.
.”
Wu Ziyun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about him. In the early years when he was still in school at Central America, he judged many teachers at Central America, including you and me, but no one paid much attention to it, so this probably didn't reach your ears.
go."
He Ruchu asked curiously, "How did he judge me?"
"How do I know this? I have even forgotten how he judged me, let alone you. I originally thought that as he gets older, his style of doing things will change, but looking at his situation today, it is the same as before.
Change." Wu Ziyun said.
Hearing Wu Ziyun's tone, He Ruchu probably understood what was going on, and said with a smile, "If he didn't come to say hello and apologize today, I really don't know that he said bad things about me before. But you oil painting academy said
Are there not enough bad things about our Chinese paintings? I don’t care if there is one more."
Wu Ziyun said quickly, "Dean He, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. When did our Oil Painting Academy say anything bad about your Chinese painting? Our Oil Painting Academy has always respected Chinese painting very much, even if we occasionally mention it a few times,
In this sentence, there is definitely more praise than criticism, and more discussion than criticism. I often tell my students that when looking at Chinese paintings, they must have a learning attitude and cannot work behind closed doors."
"Oh, Dean Wu, don't be excited. I just said it casually, so don't take it seriously." He Ruchu said with a smile, and then changed the topic, "But since you said you want students to learn more Chinese painting, I think
Well, taking advantage of this good day today, I would like to invite all the students from the Oil Painting Academy to sit over at our Chinese Painting Academy."
