Fenglong chatted and found that Su Tuo always used his words, and probed Fengling's character through various ways, so he kept silent at the moment, and thought about it again, and thought about it, there was still a choking professional Hu Ji Achen sitting outside, which was very unhappy.

So, gone.

Ji Yachen, who calmed down, is still very talkative, although he bursts out a few nonsense words from time to time, but on the whole he is still a good opponent for conversation.

"Su Tuo, do you have any opinion on this exhibition?"

"To be honest, I didn't think about holding an exhibition before, and I was going to turn you down. It's just recently that I've changed my mind and want to see this exhibition in London even bigger. ”

"Oh, tell me, what changed your mind?"

"It's a long story, our hometown is very poor, very poor. If I have the ability to lead the villagers to live a better life, I will spare no effort to do it. Coincidentally, our local parents were also anxious to find a way, and in the end, they discussed a way with me. It's hard to say if it will work or not, but I'm going to work towards that goal. ”

"I'm glad you can do that, you're much better than me in this area. For so many years, I have worked hard abroad, and I have never thought about my hometown. ”

"It's different, it's because your hometown isn't that poor. ”

Ji Yachen smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, not planning to continue discussing this issue.

Su Tuo said at this time: "I opened a sculpture factory in the town, and I plan to produce architectural sculptures. You must understand that the sales of architectural sculptures in China are very small, and you can only look at Europe and the United States. ”

"You want to make a European architectural sculpture?"

Su Tuo replied casually: "Oh, mainly in the Baroque style. ”

"Baroque? what is it?" was the first time Ji Achen had apparently heard the term.

Su Tuo is full of cleverness, I go, maybe this world has not experienced the Baloba period. I blamed myself for this matter too much, and I didn't seriously study the development of Western art, so I opened my mouth indiscriminately, and I must pay attention to this issue in the future.

The Baroque was a very important period in the process of Western art, and it had a great influence on the art of later generations. For example, what we now call European architecture, or European decorative style, is actually Baroque. That is, for us now, the Baroque style is equal to the European style.

"What Baroque, did I just say? I mean Europa, it's European style. ”

"Oh, Europa, maybe I misheard. You're right, European-style architectural sculptures are in high demand there, do you have specific plans?"

"I want to have an art exhibition, let some people know about me, and then sell architectural sculptures through my personal fame. ”

"I don't know about selling that stuff, if there's anything I need to contact, just tell me. In terms of popularity, hehe......"

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you know, I asked Lao Gu to get 1,000 copies of this issue of "Art", and I plan to give it away to recommend your sketches. Do you know what's going on?"

"What can happen?"

"Hey, listen to me, I gave the British Portrait Society a couple of copies at first. Then there were a few old friends of mine, all of whom were drawing, and then I was worried, who should I give the rest to? I bought this thing from a magazine at my expense, and it would definitely not be reasonable to leave it all at home, but let me go out on the street and send it, and I couldn't afford to lose that person, and I regretted it a lot at that time. ”

Su Tuo listened carefully, Ji Yachen drank a cup of tea, and said slowly: "After three days of worry, Michael Werner called me, saying that he was very interested in your sketches and wanted 10 magazines. He also asked me if I had any digital photos of the work that he wanted to put on his online gallery exhibition. That's Michael Werner, uh, do you know who he is?"

"Founder of Michael Werner Gallery in London, one of the world's largest art dealers. "It turns out that these art dealers still exist.

Ji Yachen was a little surprised by Su Tuo's answer, and he didn't care too much, after all, Werner was too famous in the circle.

"You're right, it's him, since he started, my phone calls haven't stopped, and all 1,000 copies have been taken away in the morning. At first it was mostly galleries, art dealers or art dealers, then museums and artists' organizations, then art schools and so on, but I didn't have anything for them. ”

"Are they going to recommend to customers?"

"It's not quite, but Danny Sr., an art dealer, told me directly that a customer reached out to him in the hope that he would get a deal out of it, and he was willing to pay double the commission. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"It's not an exaggeration, you wouldn't guess it, but the magazines I sent out were all in high demand, and I got £500 a copy on the black market, and I wanted to get another batch back. ”

"If you have more, it's worthless, and it's useless if you get it back. ”

"That's right, after all, the art world is not big. But this shows how popular your work is, so the issue of popularity is not too much of an issue. ”

"Popularity is only one thing, and when I became famous, I wanted to sell my architectural sculptures. ”

"How much money can you make by selling that thing? You can concentrate on painting and selling, and you must be faster than that one to make money." ”

"That's different, no matter how rich I am alone, I also have a number of people to help, and it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Su Tuo actually said in his heart: "The system wants me to promote the development of art, and the system that makes me rich or something doesn't care at all." ”

"The necessary money still has to be earned, for example, if you want to promote your products, it costs money, right? You have to expand reproduction in the future, and this also has to cost money, right? Once you want to open a gallery or even a museum, then you know what it means to spend money. It is better to be able to show the way for others and earn money for yourself. ”

"You have a lot of point, but this painting means a lot to me, and I don't want to sell it. ”

"That's not easy, if we sell it, we can do an auction, and it will definitely attract the attention of the whole art world. If it's just an exhibition, the attention will be much, much lower. ”

"Is there any other way to raise awareness without selling paintings? ”

"Wow, I've got it all figured out, it's the British Portrait Society's rejection letter. When the time comes, it will be displayed with your sketch for everyone to see, and such a work will be rejected by the British Portrait Society. This topic is sensational enough, and the newspapers, television, and so on will be vigorously promoted at that time. ”

Su Tuo smiled bitterly: "You are from the British Portrait Society, what will they do to you after doing this." ”

"At most, I'm fired, we're not afraid of this, I'm often fired, I'm used to it. ”

"Then you are equivalent to being implicated by me, and I can't bear it. ”

"Then you draw a picture and give it to me later, and I'll bear it, hehe. ”

"It's okay to send you a painting, but it's really not necessary, I still insist that I can't exhibit the rejection letter. ”

"Okay, it's all up to you, but what about the attention, why don't you add a work?"

"Does the addition work?"

"It must work, but it's better to add an oil painting, and if you have three sketches, it's a bit ......."

"I also have a ...... for oil painting"
