Chapter 42: It's Flying
“…… It's up to you. ”
Cao Xiang didn't have the patience to listen to Bai Ye's boasting, so he threw his hand and left. Recruiting assistants, that's Bai Ye's own business. He had to negotiate with the publisher and prepare the studio, and he didn't have the heart to waste time.
"Walk slowly, come on. ”
Bai Ye waved his hand, finally finding a little fun of being a boss.
Time passed, and most of the moon passed in a blink of an eye. The heat on Bai Ye's body has long since disappeared. After all, he left the apartment and stayed in a secret hotel, and those with ulterior motives couldn't find him at all, and they couldn't do it.
To be honest, he was suddenly so low-key, which also surprised some people.
After all, in the impression of some people, after the white leaf salted fish turned over, it should be the same as before, desperately maintaining exposure, undertaking interviews from reporters from all walks of life, tossing out movements, and maintaining popularity through hype.
But I didn't expect that after the other party was beautiful, he couldn't find a figure, as if he was deliberately trying to avoid the hustle and bustle of the world, and he didn't show his face at all, which surprised many people.
Have you changed your sex?
Some people regret that there is nothing to be done.
They are not afraid of white leaves, they are afraid of each other's stability.
People with confidence never need any "popularity" and "traffic", they only rely on their works to speak.
A person who has undergone a metamorphosis, washed away the lead, and began to attach importance to his works is worthy of the title of artist, and it is also the most feared......
Nanshan Art Street.
It is close to the Zhonghai Academy of Fine Arts, and next to the university town, botanical garden, and Nanshan Lake, with a unique location.
The one-kilometre-long street is lined with shops of all sizes, including art shops, exhibition rooms, libraries, cafes, teahouses, and jewellery boutiques.
Small streets, no vehicles entering, only dense shade of trees, and dense traffic through.
Not only art lovers but also students from university towns come here to shop. But more people like petty bourgeoisie and take pictures and check in...... Visitor.
After all, on the walls of street buildings, there are a lot of spray paintings, graffiti, and murals. Although there is no master's handwriting, they are also carefully depicted works, and some are even from the hands of the instructors of the China Overseas Academy of Fine Arts.
Some newly opened businesses even use the murals as a gimmick, hiring students from the Academy of Fine Arts to make them on the spot to attract the attention of the masses of tourists and advertise their stores.
Therefore, on the art street, you can often see street spray painting, splashing ink and other behaviors. In addition, there are singing, sketching portraits, and various performance art performances.
A variety of activities naturally attract a large number of tourists.
The popularity is strong, and the business must be more attentive to the operation, so the cycle repeats, and naturally achieves a perfect balance.
However, there are also people who don't like to watch the excitement, and just want to sit quietly in the café and watch the waiter in a lolita costume walking around the hall, with gorgeous skirts flying and full of youthful and lovely atmosphere.
“…… What a place. Chen Daqi sighed softly.
"Not bad. ”
His friend smiled and said, "The café that opened just a few days ago focuses on cuteness. As soon as it was launched, it immediately became popular in the entire circle of friends, and it was full every day. I also managed to book two days in advance to grab a seat. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Chen Daqi nodded heavily and gave a thumbs up: "You're still amazing." ”
"That's it. ”
My friend sneered, "So this meal is please." ”
“......”
Chen Daqi's face collapsed: "I said, why are you so kind to invite me to coffee." ”
"Is drinking coffee the key......?
When my friend wanted to continue, a Lolita girl came over, and he immediately changed his words: "Watching the art paintings in the café is the key point." ”
"Hanging paintings?"
Chen Daqi looked up.
I have to say that the decoration of the café is very literary and elegant. The specific layout, partitions, decorations and whatnot, there is no need to mention more, anyway, it is very stylish.
But the most striking thing is the paintings on the walls.
The white walls and decorative paintings have different themes, but most of them are in a plain style.
Small and fresh, very eye-catching.
But when Chen Daqi's gaze turned, his gaze froze, his pupils shrank, and then his eyes widened: "That, that, that...... His paintings, how are they there. ”
"What?"
My friend looked at the situation, but he didn't lock on to the target, so he was very confused.
"Sketch group. ”
Chen Daqi's eyes were complicated: "That cow ......"
"Oh, I see. ”
My friend turned his gaze and saw a decorative painting on the opposite wall.
The content of the painting is divided into 12 groups, which are neatly arranged. Eleven of them are the transformation process of a cow. There is only the twelfth set of cells, which is a signature with a date.
In any case, the painting group is printed clearly and has a lot of charm.
Of course, friends know that this is not the point. He glanced at it and was a little surprised: "Isn't this Bai Ye's work? ”
"Ask. ”
Chen Daqi beckoned, and after a while, the waiter came over and said softly: "Two handsome guys, what do you want?"
Chen Daqi listened, and his heart softened. But he didn't forget to get down to business, pointed to the decorative painting on the wall, and asked with the most kind smile, "Where did you buy the painting?"
When the waiter girl heard this, she immediately smiled sweetly: "The two handsome guys are really discerning, and many people who patronize our café are inquiring about this painting." So this painting, which was originally sold in the art shops outside, has now been sold out. So if you want to buy it, it's better to go to the city center, some of the bigger art shops, and it will be sold. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Daqi was stunned: "Very sought-after?"
"Yes. ”
The girl's voice was very glutinous, and she replied patiently: "Actually, the owner of our café also runs a painting shop. I heard him say that within half a month, nearly 500 paintings had been sold. ”
"It's his own shop, not any other store. ”
The girl smiled: "There are also some repeat customers, when they drink coffee, they complain to the boss about why they don't take more goods, so that they can't buy paintings, and then they place orders with the boss......"
“…… Thanks a lot. ”
Chen Daqi and his friend looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but show different colors.
Waiting for the waitress girl to leave, the friend whispered: "Bai Ye...... It's going to fly. ”
As students of the Academy of Fine Arts, they are also half of the industry, although they have not fully entered the art circle, but they still have some understanding of some common sense in the art circle.
At the very least, they know that decorative painting is also one of the indicators of an artist's popularity in the market.
But as long as it is a good work of art, it is inevitable that the original work will be expensive. Ordinary people certainly can't afford to buy the original, and in this case, cheaper alternatives have become everyone's first choice.
The more popular the substitutes are, the more they show that the artist's works have a strong artistic appeal.
This is the foundation of the masses, and it can also feed back the authentic works, which is also the only way for famous masters.
That's why Chen Daqi's friend has such an exclamation.
Chen Daqi was silent for a moment before pouting, "...... Fly and fly, it has nothing to do with us anyway. ”
"Yes. ”
My friend smiled: "It's true that it has nothing to do with me, but isn't he your classmate? ”
“…… What a tablemate. ”
Chen Daqi rolled his eyes and said: "There are no fixed seats in the university, they are all casually sitting. ”
"Then why don't you look at him so much?"
My friend asked curiously: "I feel that you usually have a lot of resentment towards him." ”
"Of course it'......"
Chen Daqi only spoke, but suddenly stopped speaking again, silent.
"yes, why?"
Caught off guard, someone in the back asked, "I'm also curious about this matter."
