Of course Bang is willing, this kind of interview is for him to advertise, and he doesn't have to invest a dime! Even if he already has a decisive and authoritative position in the European and American tattoo circles, who would dislike that he is famous and makes a lot of money?

A standard bigwig feature news interview, about thirty minutes or so, told Bang that they needed enough material for tattoo patterns. The problem is that Bang and Liu Yan have just started working together, and the agreement they signed is still hot. After careful consideration, Liu Yan still decided to calculate the price based on the number of words, $5,000 per word, and the contract period was tentatively set for one year.

Why is it 1,000 more than the $4,000 price previously sold to Maria? Because Bang thinks that Jason and Maria have already helped Liu Yan make a name for herself, and they are equivalent to Liu Yan's living models, and ordinary people must see the finished product if they want to get a tattoo! Those big guys who really want to tattoo Chinese characters and can afford $4,000 will not care about paying another 1,000 yuan.

After Liu Yan came back, she received a message from Bang, telling her that another client had an appointment for a Chinese character tattoo, and he also sent the client's request to him, but Liu Yan didn't have time to deal with the matter.

As soon as Professor Su reminded her, she remembered.

She told Professor Su about her cooperation with an American tattoo artist.

Su Yi has never dealt with people with tattoos in his life, and in the perception of the older generation, tattoos are really not a decent thing, and he never thought that calligraphy could have anything to do with tattoos.

After accepting Liu Yan, a little apprentice, he really lived for a long time. Fortunately, he was originally a hipster grandfather, and he was still very quick to accept new things, and he also saw tattoo photos of Jason and others on the Internet, which was indeed completely different from his old ideas in the past, but he didn't think there was anything evil.

Calligraphy, painting and calligraphy are originally a niche circle, following the principle that scarcity is precious, the fewer works circulating on the market, the higher the price, therefore, a calligrapher can make as much money as he writes 100 works. And it is often after the death of a calligrapher that his works will appreciate even more, which is the same reason that those painters were poor during their lifetime and rose to fame after their deaths. Under such a premise, Su Yi advised Liu Yan not to sell her works casually, so as not to flood the market and lead to depreciation. As a result, Liu Yan found another way to find such a way to make money.

Tattoos are different from paper calligraphy, it can't be circulated, tattoos on the body can't move, there is no more tattoos, the more depreciation, but the more audiences, will attract more people to follow the trend, directly raise the value of Liu Yan's works, but also indirectly export Chinese character culture to the United States, one stone.

Su Yi felt excited when he thought about it, he was a man in his eighties, and there were not many things that could excite him.

He and several colleagues in the calligraphy industry have opened a live course on the study of calligraphy and ink, considerable live broadcast income is on the one hand, more importantly, now the number of young people interested in calligraphy is increasing day by day, he has to brush half an hour of Weibo every morning, but also spend half an hour to see fan letters, many people practice their own words, encounter incomprehensible places, send him private messages to ask, he tirelessly answers for them, selflessly imparted his eighty years of calligraphy experience to these strange netizens he has never even met.

So Su Yi lived a very fulfilling life every day, her body was tough, and she walked with the wind, Su Juan sometimes complained that her father walked too fast, and she trotted to keep up.

It can be said that half of Liu Yan's credit is here, and Su Yi looked at her and felt happy and relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Yan thought that Professor Su would complain about her selling her calligraphy to Americans in the United States without his consent, but he kept laughing, and she wondered, "Aren't you angry?"

Su Yi asked rhetorically, "Why should I be angry?"

Liu Yan carefully worded, "Calligraphy is elegant, and tattoos are ...... It's still not the mainstream of society. ”

"Then you think wrong, I don't think calligraphy is an elegant thing, just writing, some people write well, some people write poorly, we can't deprive anyone of the right to write, let alone a few words to a high position. At my age, I have no interest in selling my fame and reputation, I just want you to inherit my mantle and let more people regain their interest in calligraphy. If tattoos can boost their interest, this is not unavoidable, as we do with live broadcasts, and it is always right to keep up with the times. ”

Leaving Professor Su's office, Liu Yan felt more at ease, and with the support of her teachers, she could have the courage to cooperate with Bang.

After getting into the car, she said to the driver, Peng Kai, "Go to the Love Live Building, oh no, let's go to my online store first." "She has too much work, otherwise why would she be in such a hurry to come back?

Under Zhang Pei's management, their cat food business is running normally, and there are no problems. Liu Yan actually knew that her mother was there, she didn't need to worry about the online store, she just came to meet her mother.

Zhang Pei was happy and excited when she saw her daughter safe and sound, where did she still have the heart to take care of work, the two of them had dinner together, and they had something to say while eating. Liu Yan deliberately mentioned Peter's concern for herself in the United States, and also talked about Lina's cooperation with them, and she hoped that her mother could be with Peter as soon as possible.

"It turns out that Lina is going to dance!" Zhang Pei was a little surprised.

"Yes, she is also a MV participant," Liu Yan has nothing to keep secret from her mother. Now that the MV is in full swing, and Lin Zhi's team is also assisting, Jason hopes to release the physical record within a week.

But many people on the Internet criticized her for playing a big name. ”

"You don't know the style of the media chasing after the wind and shadows," Liu Yan knew what Zhang Pei said, Lina was in a hurry to enter the market and throw her face at the media, and her cold-faced photos and videos appeared on the Internet in Europe and the United States that night, the media wrote that she was just a well-known Internet celebrity, but she was extremely arrogant and domineering, and there was Peter's face on the photo, his identity was not a secret, and soon the information that Lina was the daughter of the Atkinson family in New Zealand was picked up by foreign netizens, and more people scolded her- Most of them are haters of the rich, and there are many typical people who are popular.

Lina didn't care at all, and she didn't let Liu Yan and them explain to her, "Won't the explanation leak the secret?" When the MV comes out, these misunderstandings will naturally be resolved." She left New York earlier than Liu Yan and left the next morning.

Liu Yan explained the ins and outs clearly, Zhang Pei also relaxed a little, she thought of something again, and asked Liu Yan, "Peter... Is there something wrong with his job in the United States?"

"Probably not......" Liu Yan couldn't be sure, she had been busy with her own business all the time, and she hadn't talked to Peter about the work of cat food.
