Chapter 324: Borrowing Light

Four Chinese get together, in a foreign country to treat a Christmas as a Spring Festival, what turkey people eat, these four people together chop stuffing and make dumplings, or get some big fish and meat with beer, anyway, how to live how to live.

Fang Yi held a wine bottle in his hand, and sat on the sofa with Luan Xiao and the others, everyone ate dumplings and drank beer, watching TV and chatting along the way.

Li Yuncong looked at Fang Yi and directly pinched a dumpling with his hand and put it in his mouth: "Fang Yi, when will your mansion be built?" I haven't heard about it for more than a year, so as for how long it will take? ”。

Fang Yi stared at the TV and watched the show: "It's almost ready, the construction will be completed in two or three months, and the decoration part in it will be completed in another two or three months." When the time comes, we will go and stay together for a few days."

"Are you going to settle in the United States?" Guan Fangfei listened to Fang Yi's answer, turned her head and glanced at Fang Yi, and quipped: "This idea is unwanted, and if you have a little achievement, you want to run to a developed country with a sharpened head." There is no ambition to fight for the country for decades! ”。

"I don't have so much nonsense when I paint, you should say to the young students who went abroad to study basic industry, no country is indispensable to artists like us" Fang Yi took a sip of beer in his hand and said jokingly: "The per capita floor area in China is already small, and I will build such a big house when I go back, not to waste arable land, but to let me harm the Americans."

Luan Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Yi with a smile and asked, "The price of your paintings in China is quite high now, has the gallery ever thought of selling your works in China?" ”。

"Pretty high. Shouldn't it be the highest? I don't think of anyone who is so famous as Fang Yi now" Guan Fangfei doesn't know much about the domestic art market, and in her head, Fang Yi's works should be the first person in China: "No matter what, the price of the works of Mr. Zao Wou-Ki should be on par with them."

"I haven't sold it again, who knows" Fang Yi looked at the TV and shook his head, as for what kind of price his works have reached in China. Fang Yi is really a little uncertain, he can't understand the domestic market!

The development of the domestic art market in recent years can not be described as rapid, but can be directly defined by popularity. Not to mention others, take Fang Yi's teacher Liu Hongshuo's works as an example, in the past, there were six or seven hundred thousand paintings, but now there are no two or three million works of ordinary size, and they have increased four or five times in a few years.

However, despite the booming market, large galleries in Europe and the United States are competing to open offices and branches in China one after another. This situation satisfies the pride of some Chinese people. But a closer look reveals a small problem. That is, the large galleries in Europe and the United States almost all represent local Chinese artists, and very few have introduced the works of famous foreign artists into China.

Hype and packaging these domestic artists, and directly face the Chinese market to make money. As for those means that foreign galleries have developed for such a long time, playing this thing can directly throw off domestic galleries a few streets.

Unlike foreign art markets, it is like France where there are German, American or Latin American artists. And what about domestic. Almost all the works of domestic artists. The reason for this phenomenon is that the domestic gentlemen do not recognize the works of these people, and the second is because of the domestic tax problem. After all, the art market has only started to develop again after so many years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, not to mention the imperfection of various laws and regulations, and the biggest problem lies in this tax. Everyone understands that many taxes in China are double taxes, while Europe and the United States are almost all single taxes, and a work of a foreign artist is brought to the domestic market, not to mention whether it can be sold at this price, even if it is sold at the price of the European and American markets, this tax is not only paid to the gallery that brings the work. Even the artist's own income will be much lower.

Li Yuncong didn't know why Lu Dao suddenly remembered something, opened his mouth to Fang Yi and asked: "You said that the twelve beast heads in the Old Summer Palace are not works of art, I have been a little confused when I listen to this matter during this time." Some say it's a national treasure, some say it's worthless. What do you think about this".

Fang Yi thought for a while and said: "My tendency is that they are just faucets, and as for what national treasures and the like, they are hype by people using patriotic enthusiasm."

Regarding the question of the beast's head, Fang Yi also couldn't understand it, how did a faucet made by a foreigner become a national treasure in China? Anyone who knows what these faucets are all about will know that this thing was meant to be a fruit girl, because such a design is in line with Western architectural style. However, this plan was passed in front of the 'perfect old man', that is, Qianlong, a half-tone art product, and was denied by this old boy and replaced with twelve beast heads, and then naturally it was snatched away.

"To buy this thing, it is better to buy some works of masters and come back" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "If you can bring the works of Van Gogh and Titian back to China, and then publicly exhibit them, this meaning is much greater than what beast heads, think about it, if you get all of Van Gogh's works back to China, these foreigners will have to go to China if they want to see Van Gogh in the future, then it will be exciting!" ”。

Buy what you have stolen and buy it back? Then it's better to pursue it, look at what these foreigners usually shout about human rights, and what peace they profes, and if they don't pay back other people's things, they will know what virtues are in the bones of these so-called powerful countries.

Luan Xiao couldn't help but open her mouth again when she heard Fang Yi talk: "Why don't your works be sold in China, isn't the price higher in dollars?"

"Taxes!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said directly: "The tax is too high." As for where to sell the works in China, it is Fang Yi's turn to think about this matter, Zou Heming has been fiddling with this matter since Fang Yi and the others became famous, and when he learned about the domestic art market, he dispelled this idea. Because if Fang Yi's works were really sold back to China, the price would have risen, but the end would have fallen into everyone's hands, almost like selling them in the European and American markets. And when you put it all together, it's a little more. Because Americans still have tax refunds there, it's like Fang Yi built a house in Los Angeles, because it is consumed in the American market, which is almost equivalent to no tax this year. Because the money obtained was all consumed by Fang Yizhong's relatives, as soon as the money went to the market to buy things, there was naturally no tax. The domestic art market is not yet perfect, and there is still some way to go in this regard.

Speaking of Fang Yi's works, Guan Fangfei was very happy, because she got one of Fang Yi's sketches. happily showed off to Luan Xiao and Li Yuncong jokingly and said: "You two don't have any vision, the last time I sent Fang Yi to the small village, I got a sketch of him." After speaking, he turned his head to Fang Yile and asked, "Where do you want to go next time, tell me, and I will send you again." Send a trip to people back and forth for a few hours and millions to hand, this business can be done! ”。

Fang Yi glanced at the proud Guan Fangfei and said, "Then you are going to buy a, I will draw a sketch for you if I have nothing to do in the future, and you will also lend me a!" Don't forget to buy the one that can cross the ocean! ”。

"Forget it!" Guan Fangfei thought for a while and said: "The kind of you said is too expensive, I can't afford it."

Li Yuncong looked at Guan Fangfei and said, "Are you smart?" I still have Rude's work, and when I bought it, it was about a thousand yuan. Now, hehe! I'm ready to keep it as a family heirloom." Speaking of this, he patted Fang Yi, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Do you say that Rude's works will rise in a hundred years?" ”。

Luan Xiao smiled when he heard this: "You asked Fang Yi of course he said that it would go up, what is the big difference between Rude's works and his works?" They are all the founding artists of the same school, and it is nothing more than a matter of less and more."

"What you have in your hand has been rising!" Fang Yi looked at Li Yuncong and said, "It's better to keep it, now when you have nothing to do, you can look forward to when this kid Rude hangs up."

"Look! I said yes," Luan Xiao proudly stretched out his hand and nodded at Fang Yi: "When he bought Gregory's works in the past, everyone jokingly said that if you encounter this kind of good thing in the future, don't forget us." Who knew that Lu Dao was met by Yun Cong, you". After speaking, he introduced to Li Yuncong and Guan Fangfei how Fang Yi bought Gregory's works.

Guan Fangfei and Li Yuncong listened to Luan Xiao's eloquent talk about how Fang Yi was discerning, and then Lu Qikun was puzzled, not only these two people, but even Fang Yi himself sounded a bit like a romance.

"You can really pull it!" Fang Yi looked at Luan Xiao with a smile and said, "It's a pity that you don't have the eloquence to tell stories and be the successor of Teacher Shan Tianfang, or to be a screenwriter."

"You're really good," Guan Fangfei looked at Fang Yi and said, "How do you know that this old Maozi's painting can be famous?" And how did you know that this person was dead? ”。

Fang Yi blinked his eyes: "How could I know these things at that time, and I am not an immortal." At that time, I just thought that this Maozi's work was well painted, and the style was very unique. Besides, the works are also cheap, and even if you lose so much money, you can hang them on your own wall, which was the idea at the time."

Naturally, Fang Yi couldn't say that he had something in his head that was equivalent to a standard answer, even if he said it, it was estimated that the three people sitting there would not believe it.

Luan Xiao interjected at this time: "Maybe this thing is talented" Speaking of this, he leaned his body on the armrest of the sofa: "Or that when the level reaches a certain stage, it can be seen naturally." For example, when I look at fashion now, I obviously feel that I have improved compared to before when I am in Paris. The other party Yi looks at people and looks at the painting, I really admire the five-body throw! Did you find any? This kid can't draw himself, so he can eat and drink all his life without worrying with this hand."

"You're not bad, you're quite familiar with that Anders now," Guan Fangfei looked at Luan Xiao and said.

Luan Xiao nodded: "To put it bluntly, it's still through Fang Yi's light, if it weren't for Fang Yi's Andells who I am?" Now, when there is a party at home, he invites me whenever he has time." (To be continued......)
