Chapter 11 Next Steps
Chapter 11: What's next
After Xu Hong and his parents had dinner at the hotel, they returned home.
After his explanation, the parents didn't doubt anything anymore. They thought that it was because of the changes in the family that their son grew up quickly, and he was no longer idle, as before.
"Son, what are your plans for the future? Don't you go to work anymore?" Xu Qichang thought, since his son can make money by painting, and he earns more than he goes to work, of course he has to let his son continue to paint.
"Yes, son, what are your plans for the future? Are you going for the dream of being a painter?" Zheng Chunling looked at her son and asked in agreement.
The two of them have such a son, and they originally thought that if they had money, they didn't need their son to struggle, he just had to enjoy the happiness.
Who knew that God would not fulfill people's wishes, and their clothing company would go out of business. The family background has changed from a multi-millionaire to a multi-millionaire.
Now the family is crammed into this two-bedroom apartment of sixty or seventy square meters all day long, and the huge debt of tens of millions of dollars is overwhelming every day.
Fortunately, Xu Hong earned more than 100,000 yuan at the art exhibition this time. Although there is still a long way to go before paying off the bank loan, it also gives the family a ray of hope. The two who have been frowning have finally shown a long-lost smile.
You must know that if Xu Hong didn't have this talent for painting, he would have relied on his family to earn a salary by going to work, and he would not be able to pay off this huge debt of tens of millions in his life!
Thinking of this tens of millions of huge debts, the two of them were naturally a little nervous again. They pinned their hopes on their son, and they wanted to ask him what he planned for the future!
"Mom and Dad, of course I'm working towards my goal of being a painter. There is no other way out for our family now! Maybe I still have the same way to paint! If I become a well-known painter in the whole country, I will definitely be able to pay off the tens of millions of dollars in the bank!"
Xu Hong knew that it was simply unrealistic to pay off the bank's tens of millions of dollars by going to work. Only if you become a well-known painter, just like Master Yao, you can sell a painting casually, and you can sell hundreds of thousands, millions. In this way, you can quickly pay back the tens of millions of dollars at home!
"Okay, son, your father and I will definitely support you. You can paint at home with peace of mind!The two of us are still at work for the time being, so we have to earn some living expenses!" Zheng Chunling looked at her son and said.
"Thank you Mom, I'll try to draw well. Xu Hong said sensibly.
"Son, then what are your plans for the next step!" Xu Qichang also looked at his son and asked with concern.
"Mom and Dad, as you know, you need talent and fame to paint. I think I'm talented, but it's fame!
This time, I held an exhibition at the exchange meeting, and I saw that many famous painters had tens of thousands of paintings or hundreds of thousands of paintings! Eight of my paintings were sold for 80,000 yuan. The reason why I was able to earn 160,000 yuan was because I made another 80,000 yuan by betting with Master Yao!
Any painting of Master Yao costs more than 100,000 yuan! Therefore, the value of a painter's paintings is directly proportional to his fame!
Because customers want to collect the works of a certain painter, the first thing to see is whether the painter is famous, only the works of famous painters will have greater room for appreciation, so that people are willing to spend more money to buy the painter's works.
After all, those who buy paintings don't like paintings at all, and they don't buy them at home and hang them at home all day to enjoy them. They buy paintings for one purpose, and that is the collectible value of the paintings themselves.
Those who paint are to make money, and the same is true for those who buy paintings.
For those who buy paintings, being able to buy a famous work means that they may make a huge profit in a few years.
And for a painter, your fame determines the price of your paintings. There is a world of difference between the price of a famous painter's work and the price of a non-famous painter's work.
The works of unfamous painters may cost a few hundred yuan a piece, or even less. And the works of famous painters cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. The gap between the two is quite wide.
Therefore, for people who want to make money by drawing, fame is the most critical factor. Only when you become famous can you make a lot of money and make a fortune. If you don't have fame in your life, you can only become an ordinary painting lover. ”
Xu Hong was a painting enthusiast before his death, and an official graduate of a local art academy. Although he has not yet become famous, he has been immersed in the painting industry for many years, and he still has a clear understanding of the doorway of this industry.
"Son, in this case, your next step is to draw fame. But how can you become famous in painting!" Xu Qichang listened to his son's words, and he understood that painting is a thing that can only make a lot of money when he is famous, just like Yao Hong. A casual painting can sell for hundreds of thousands.
"Yes, son, then how can you become famous! Is it difficult to become famous!" Zheng Chunling listened to her husband's words, and also echoed and asked her son.
"Yes, it's hard to be a person, it's even harder to be a celebrity, and it's even harder to be a famous painter!" Xu Hong knows that painting is not like acting or singing. Maybe a play, a song, can make a newcomer pop up all of a sudden, as the so-called overnight fame.
Just like many singers and stars, they quickly became household names because of a play or singing a pop song.
"Son, then what should we do! It's so difficult, can you still become famous!" Zheng Chunling listened to her son's words and felt very deflated all of a sudden.
"Yes, son, you said that it is so difficult to become famous, so can you still become famous!" Xu Qichang also felt a little disappointed.
There is a famous saying that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are people who have a heart. There is no mountain higher than a man, and there is no road longer than a foot! I think that as long as I work hard, I will always succeed. ”
Xu Hong was a little disappointed when his parents saw that he became famous, so he said some words to comfort them.
However, these words are all empty truths, and Xu Hong's parents have not much comfort when they hear it.
"Son, you don't have to say these big truths, just say, what are you going to do next!" Xu Qichang and Zheng Chunling don't want to hear their son say these empty big truths, they just want to know what their son is going to do next!
"Mom and Dad, the fastest way for a painter to become famous is to open an exhibition. Only your paintings have made more people see. I feel a lot of potential. There are also some well-known collectors who think you are a malleable talent, and in this case, you are not far from becoming famous. ”
