Money has a special magic from the moment it is born, sometimes it makes people crazy and sometimes it makes people desperate, and its importance to the single person in a social group is self-evident. The same is true for artists, no one can escape from it, because as long as people have to eat, they have to exchange with others for the necessities of life.

Now the check brought by Zou Heming does not say what Fang Yi will do, but it brings peace of mind and peace to the four of them, so that they can devote themselves to painting with more enthusiasm without thinking about the problem of survival. As for Fang Yi's problem of just a little more and a little less, a hundred thousand dollars just made Fang Yi happy for two or three days.

Seeing the changes that money had brought to the four of them, the next day after they sobered up, the four of them went to the painting supply store in Paris together, and each brought back to the studio the paint they couldn't use if they wanted to. Whether it is pigment or medium, there is a big change, and even Fang Yi has replaced the most polished varnish of his works with a few hundred dollars and ten milliliters of amber varnish. It's expensive, but it's worth the money, and it will keep your work new for a long time. As soon as the small silver in the pocket shook, everyone naturally became picky about their painting materials.

Some time ago, Khima and Ruud were still making money by helping people paint sets, and when Anders and Artur arrived in the village, they only had an easel and a box of a few clothes, and they carried a few hundred euros in their pockets, which was almost like fleeing the famine.

In the first two or three months, most of the income of the four of them actually came from Fang Yi's purchase of paintings, and a painting was very cheap. The price of less than 2,000 euros, Fang Yizhi came up with a little more, but this is the price after several people discussed. It turned out that Khima thought that a few hundred euros would be fine for a painting. At that time, it was less than 2,000 euros, and for the four people, it was really a new high for the price of the work! Of course, the works of a few people are no longer a matter of a few thousand euros.

Although every time Fang Yi buys a painting, he seriously says to his friends: I like your work very much, it is worth the price or something, but at that time, in the eyes of the four people, this is not a transaction of their own works, more of a help between friends! They accepted that Fang Yi each bought two or three of their own works, and each of them picked the most satisfactory work and handed it to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi also knew that the road was enough. I didn't greedily buy more works, nor did I just buy the famous Kahima and Ruud in my head, but bought some of the paintings of all four. After all, Fang Yi is an artist himself, not a collector. Two or three are nothing, maybe some of the four of them will think that Fang Yi is out of pity or something.

Sometimes the artist's spirit is delicate and fragile, and he is also very sensitive to the reaction of the outside world, even if Fang Yi can't paint. After reading so many biographies of masters and the like, you will figure it out.

As a friend. In addition to buying two or three works by four people, all that Fang Yi left was to call Zou Heming over and over again, asking him to come and see the works of his new friends, and it was best to sign them. Because of Fang Yi's many phone calls, Zou Heming, who had just returned to the United States from Paris for less than a month, had to return to Paris, and finally signed the four of them as Fang Yi wished.

But now, Fang Yi is embarrassed to buy his friends' works anymore, even if he buys them, he is afraid that the four of them will not sell them. I would like to give it to Fang Yi as a close friend! This is cheap, Fang Yi thinks it's better not to take advantage of it. I made myself cheesy with my friends.

The four of them sat around the two facing couches in the barn, and there were some materials on the coffee table in front of everyone, and now everyone was holding a copy in their hands and looking at it.

Fang Yi flipped through the small binder folder in his hand, and on it was a mannequin, the kind that didn't fit an inch, and his body was very compliant, but this temperament was a bit disliked by Fang Yi, it was too sharp.

"This figure is a bit of a characteristic, but I don't think it's good in terms of temperament, what do you see?" After Fang Yi finished speaking, he handed the folder in his hand to Anders, who was sitting beside him.

Anders glanced at it, then closed the folder and threw it aside: "If you don't think it's suitable, that's enough to veto!" What else to see! ”。

Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, reached out and touched another folder on the table.

"I think that's good!" Artur handed the clip in his hand to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi took it and looked at it carefully: "This is good!" Look at it! With that, he handed the clip to Kashma.

Then the model fell into the eyes of the four and passed the primary.

The four of them are now selecting models together, not only girls but also men, young and old. These were all singled out by some economic companies according to the requirements of Fang Yi and the four people. This time, the four of them are going to hire a group of more distinctive models, and the rice in everyone's pockets is enough, so naturally it will not be as bitter as before, first consider the price, and then take a look, and feel that it is a dish directly in the bowl, and now everyone has to pick and pick it up.

There are five people in total, what are the four people picking together? Of course, the one who wasn't there was Rude, this person's taste really couldn't be mixed with the four people seated, and he had a soft spot for a slightly chubby and plump girl with a little fat, and the model he hired also had special requirements, and the modeling agency introduced regular models, not pimping. Although it is legal in France, economic companies do not do it part-time.

"Khima, when are you moving?" Artur turned his gaze to Khima.

Kahima still looked at the folder in his hand, opened his mouth and flicked the cigarette ash between his fingers and said, "I'll move tomorrow morning, I can't stand Ruud!" The whole house was made like a nest of joy."

"Huh!" Fang Yi and the three of them all laughed softly when they heard this.

Ruud's broken habit is to make the four of them a little unbearable in their daily life, this master of lust is very much like the predecessor Klimt, and he immediately pulled the model down and snapped it when he was interested. Fang Yi basically doesn't go to his studio to hang around when he has nothing to do now, and he really can't stand his tune.

With the money in his pocket, Kahima used to be able to endure a little, but now of course he had to find a new place to move out. As long as the elves are not particularly strong, or have unique dark habits, they can't stay in Rude's studio.

"Just a little bit without your help! Mention it and it's gone," Kahima continued.

"How's Ruud's model hired?" Artur opened his mouth and asked again.

"He's much quicker than we are," said Kahima, "and he had decided on three the night before!" Speaking of this, Fang Yi nodded a little and said: "Although Fang Yi's stay in Paris is not too short, but when it comes to the joy of Paris, he is much worse than Rude!" ”。

Fang Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't mention me, I may not be able to get around Paris without navigation when driving!" ”。

Anders looked at and picked out a few folders and said, "Let's take a look!" Hurry up and settle down, the time is also quite tight! ”。

For the first group exhibition of linearism, all five attach great importance to it, and the works are not only portraits, human bodies but also landscapes, and they must dabble in some broader themes, and they can't paint anything like before, but now it's like doing proposition creation, although the requirements are not necessarily so strict, but the essence is really similar.

After setting a model and contacting the model's economic company, the five of them began to act according to their own schedules or plans.

After painting two landscapes, the first thing to draw is not a model but a landscape, and after painting two landscapes, Ji Lu draws several portraits, and then chooses a suitable place to paint the human body with nature as the background, and there are single and combination.

Everything is progressing steadily, although sometimes there are some minor problems, such as cloudy and rainy days when painting the human body, but these are small problems! Just do something else at another time and you'll be solved.

The works of the five people were very smooth, and every evening when they got together, everyone gathered around, drank beer, ate small nuts, and discussed the new direction and new techniques of the small painting school more enthusiastically.

Wei Jin and Tao Yong have graduated, and they are not looking for a job like other students, but have become a full-time young artist, and officially take up the bowl of art. Although the work doesn't sell for a lot of money, it's okay to have a full meal. Qu Gu and Su Meng, a young couple, have also achieved positive results, preparing to get married and then run around the world. Brother Gongzi, I always don't worry about this little money, this is what Wei Jin and Fang Yi said with a smile when they were on video.

Zheng Yuan was admitted to the American Conservatory of Music, the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. I don't know much about the conservatory, but I knew how famous this conservatory is, and congratulated the future cellist in the video.

Zhao Jie was also admitted to the painting of stone art as before, and he is already a college student. As for Lu Xiaomin, he gave up music and started the work of a husband and a wife, and opened a restaurant with Zhang Xu together.

As for Lu Qikun and Lang Yanguang, they are also very good in Shicheng, Lu Qikun continues to be his two most outstanding young artists, and his personality is alive.

The most flashing is Wang Hongqi, in Wei Jin's words, after marrying the two of Kath, the ticket, the sister, the house, the son and the car are all here.

The only little unlucky guy can be said to be Luan Xiao, this guy was rejected twice by the French Embassy, and now he is trying to toss the third time, if it goes well, maybe Luan Xiao will run towards Paris, the fashion capital, a few years ago.

The old and new friends are going well, Fang Yi's own family is also going well, and the parents and teachers are living a very good life.

With countless good news, Fang Yi and his four friends set off from Charles de Gaulle Airport with their own works, and Fang Yi's side in addition to his friends and his own works, there is also a girlfriend Beronica, as Fang Yi's live-in girlfriend, Beronica took time to participate in the first exhibition of linearism, and the six of them came to New York, the most prosperous metropolis in North America.
