Chapter 201: Praise and Mockery

Fang Yi listened to Zheng Xiaopeng say a few words, his face was a little bitter, Qu Gu very clearly rejected the olive branch extended by Jin Peng, thought for a moment Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "I can help you say a word, but it won't be too deep!" You know, I couldn't convince them to use mine even with a wooden shelf! Don't report too much hope for this! ”。

Although the four of them are close friends, they are all different in art. Fang Yi is not qualified to force a friend to sign a gallery, and this matter is not for a friend to do.

"Just make peace for me! Being able to sign Wei Jin and Tao Yong is a harvest for us," Zheng Xiaopeng said with a smile after listening to Fang Yi's words.

Fang Yi thought for a moment and asked, "How are you going to push Tao Yong and Wei Jin?" ”。

"The specific things are paid by Shenglin, and the current stage is to make the two of them feel at ease in the creation, Tao Yong is of course a freehand Chinese painting, Wei Jin we mainly push his watercolor, waiting for the work to be on the volume, about half a year later, prepare an exhibition, Wei Jin and Tao Yong's works and Zhou Tong's works together to make a three-person tour joint exhibition or something! See how the market reacts and decide what to do next! Zheng Xiaopeng said: "Of course, this is the early arrangement, and there may be some adjustments or something later!" ”。

Speaking of this, he looked at Fang Yi and asked jokingly, "What do you think of Zhu Zheng?" We looked at his skills and colors very well, a little Fang Yi's taste! ”。

Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "Zhu Zheng is good, and his talent is also good!" But he's been copying my techniques, and it's hard to surpass me now! It's a big taboo! ”。

Fang Yi said this before, if you imitate a person and resemble it, it will not be meaningful unless you can surpass that person! Just as Titian imitated Giorgione and surpassed him, you can't surpass him. That doesn't make much sense. Fang Yi asserted immodestly that Zhu Zheng wanted to surpass himself in this life, it was completely hopeless, this kid couldn't become Titian, and he was not Giorgione.

This is Fang Yi's thoughts, but Zheng Xiaopeng doesn't see it that way, Zheng Xiaopeng and Chen Shenglin have been running the gallery for so many years, and they have a little vision, and the operation methods are naturally a little tricky.

In the eyes of these two people, copying Fang Yi's work is not all bad. Waiting for Fang Yi to return to China after two or three years abroad, not only has the support of Liu Hongshuo, but also Yan Daqi, a senior brother, and friends like Lu Qikun. When the time comes, it will gather these two people plus Fang Yi himself to open a joint exhibition, which will have a lot of repercussions in the market! Nine times out of ten, this North Yan Nanlu will be followed by a Shicheng Fang or something.

When Fang Yi's fame grew. Even if Zhu Zheng was still a strong copying of Fang Yi at that time, he might not be able to rely on Fang Yi's fame to get a piece of the pie! Even if it's a change in the style of painting. That can also make use of previous paintings. Plus Fang Yi's fame at that time hit the front station or something! Maybe it will work more smoothly than Wei Jin's people!

Zheng Xiaopeng looked at Fang Yi and asked, "We are interested in Zhu Zhengting now, let's play the front station first, and I want to sign it when the time is right!" What do you think? ”。

Fang Yi smiled and said, "You signed him, not me." Just look good! "Zhu Zheng is considered to be half of his student and friend, Fang Yi can't open his mouth and say that this person can't do it, don't sign this.

Zheng Xiaopeng smiled and nodded. Then he opened his mouth and asked, "I guess the controversy caused by your two paintings this time is not small!" ”。

Listened to this. Fang Yi naturally knows which two paintings of the Tao of Lu, one is "July 10th", and the painting of tearing the book makes some Taoists unhappy! And then there's the "Nightingale", which depicts a woman who has lost her footing. Not only are the women who have lost their footings painted with fairy spirit, but they are also cheerful dancers. Fang Yi didn't think that these critics couldn't see that the characters they painted were stumbling women, and if they couldn't see it, what kind of critics would they play? It's better to go home and pick up the baby!

"If you want to comment, you can scold" Fang Yi smiled and said: "Borrow a sentence from Mr. Jin's book: He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze caresses the mountain!" I'll be this hill! ”。

"That's right! But there's no need to pay attention to these people! Many people write advertorials to collect small money" Zheng Xiaopeng said: "If they don't comment, they should be deaf to the wind!" ”。

The two chatted for a few words, and then walked out of the corner.

Fang Yi waited for his parents, as well as his sister and aunt Liu Tingzhi, who greeted him and took a look at the paintings, and then followed his family to explain the ideas of the creation of some works. However, Fang Yi explained that his family can look like it, and the typical one is Fang Yi's mother, Yu Qin, who nods her head constantly after looking at every picture of her son.

"Well drawn! It's so similar! The girls are also good-looking," Yu Qin looked at "The Nightingale" and nodded, and after speaking, she turned her head to her son and asked in a whisper: "You found so many girls naked as soon as you looked for them?" ”。

Listening to his mother's words, Fang Yi almost pulled up a few black lines on his head: "It's so ugly!" People are models, don't say anything naked! ”。

"Model model!" Yu Qin nodded and repeated twice, then looked at the painting and whispered: "I don't wear clothes when I dance!" If it's the turn of the eight years to crack down, everyone will have to eat guns! ”。

Liu Tingzhi, the aunt next to her, listened to it and said: "What are you talking nonsense, isn't Xiaoyi also dangerous at that time!" ”。

"What's the matter with our Xiaoyi, he didn't jump naked" mentioned that his son ate a gun, and Yu Qin stopped doing it.

Fang Yi listened and said directly to his father Fang Guohua and brother-in-law Chu Suiliang: "Dad, brother-in-law! You take my mother and aunt and continue to turn around, don't let them talk nonsense, it's not good to be heard! ”。 Seeing his father and Chu Suiliang smiling and nodding, Fang Yi left his family.

After saying hello to some people a few times, Fang Yi felt the mobile phone in his pocket ring, and when he felt it, he saw that it was his other senior brother Xu Hang in the capital calling. I walked out of the exhibition hall and went back into the aisle.

"Senior Brother Xu! Why didn't you come to this exhibition? I still want to take you to have a good time," Fang Yi said with a smile as soon as he listened to the words of the power station.

Xu Hang said with a smile on the other end: "I don't have enough weight to go on behalf of my dad!" I can only go to Senior Brother Yan! How about the exhibition? ”。

"Today's first day, there are a lot of wrists anyway!" Fang Yi smiled and replied.

Xu Hang listened and said, "Of course! After speaking, he changed the subject and said: "I heard that you want to sell Gregory's paintings?" ”。

"yes!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "I'm going to see how the market price is in two months, and I will sell my son to calculate the living expenses of studying abroad or something!" ”。

Xu Hang opened his mouth and asked, "Are you sure it's genuine?" ”。

"Of course! Can't be wrong! Fang Yi opened his mouth and said. Is it the real thing that you can still look at?

"It's not like you can sell this painting for a good price! If you're ready to sell, I suggest you go to the autumn auction! Send it to the auction house now! ”。

"Send it for auction?" Fang Yi only planned to sell one, and he hadn't thought about how to come out yet.

Xu Hang said: "Of course we have to send it to auction!" If it weren't for the painting, what would it have cost if it had been sold in China? Now this rich man is just like the rich people in our country. Desperately chasing after the things of their own country! Just like chasing the head of a domestic beast, an easter egg can be sky-high! The painting in your hand can be bought at this price by selling Maozi, how many people in China are willing to pay it! Now to send the auction, always give the auction company a little more time to publicize! Attracting Russian tycoons to either commission or go to the auction on the spot is the right reason! ”。

"Senior Brother Xie Lu, I'll find a big auction house in a few days," Fang Yi said thank you as soon as he heard that this was the reason.

Xu Hang smiled and said, "It's okay!" But your future life in Paris must be too comfortable! As the old saying goes, if you wrap your waist around 100,000 yuan, ride a crane down to Yangzhou! You're going to Paris with a million dollars! Now everyone in the world says that we Chinese are rich, and it is the impression left by people like you! As he spoke, Xu Hang joked about his little junior brother on the phone.

Fang Yi said with a smile: "Why can't you get along with yourself if you have money?" ”。

"That's it! Go ahead and get busy with yours! I just heard Senior Brother Daqi say this yesterday, so I will call you to remind you that it is much higher to hand it over to the auction house than for you to find someone to buy it. Worry-free and effort-free," Xu Hang said on the other end of the phone.

After chatting for a while, the two brothers hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, his uncle Fang Guozhong arrived at the exhibition hall, Fang Yi took his uncle for thirty minutes, and Fang Guozhong took the car back.

The whole exhibition lasted for a month and a half, and Fang Yi followed the teacher to three or four cities. This is the official end.

It's a little better in Stone City, and it can be regarded as Liu Hongshuo's base camp. Some art critics are mostly praised.

"Stone City Art" commented: "A joint exhibition of Liu Hongshuo and his disciple Fang Yi. The standard is quite high, and the author himself believes that the blue is better than the blue. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes! I really can't believe that a child in his early twenties can handle the details of the picture so well! The characters are so beautiful and handsome. Mr. Liu Hongshuo's paintings are as solemn and dignified as ever! Fang Yi's painting style does not seem to be influenced by many teachers, and the picture is more beautiful and soft. The brushstrokes are brighter, and the colors are more bold and bright! It can be predicted that there will be one more master-level figure in the future in the Shicheng painting world! ”。

Mingzhu's "Contemporary Art" commented: "Fang Yi's painting skills are superb, which is surprising for someone of this age!" Some of the paintings are debatable, such as the woman who has lost her footing under a sacred arch. This is a very inappropriate thing. But he's still young, and he has time to experience his artistic life! ”。

Beijing's "Avant-garde Art": "The author does not deny Fang Yi's techniques, but art is not only based on your techniques, but also pays more attention to reflecting the artist's own intuitive feelings and thoughts on people and society!" Looking at the whole exhibition, Fang Yi's paintings are full of the so-called soft beauty! In the author's opinion, it is no different from pretentiousness, young people may think that they are Raphael! But he forgot that he could never be Raphael, and Xiumi is not something you can play with. Learn classicism honestly with your teacher! Don't try to sensationalize by tearing up textbooks and drawing a naked stumbling woman! Down-to-earth attitude is the most important thing! ”。

Lingang's "Art Times": "Technique is not fundamental, this young man under the protection of the teacher's wings did not understand this at all!" The author thinks this kid doesn't know what painting is! Not to mention any art! In the work "The Nightingale", the light veil covered by the woman is hung with thick line segments, or long oval dots, which the author can see indicate the physiological organs of both sexes! And this painting is also full of praise for these stumbling women! I don't know why this young man would praise and sympathize with these people and glorify them. Maybe the young man liked the tune, but maybe he couldn't say ......."

After the whole exhibition, some well-known art magazines immediately divided into two groups, even in one magazine, there will be two completely different evaluations, one is praised, and the other is that Fang Yi's paintings are useless. Everyone, you come and go, and there are definitely far more scolding than praise, except for the Shicheng critics, who are half neutral and half disdainful, and the other places are far more sarcastic than praise!

After passing this incident, Fang Yicai had an intuitive understanding of how many people his teacher had offended. It can be described as embattled, and there are still works for themselves, as if they are "July 10th" and "Nightingale" who are crazy about themselves, and there are not four out of five but three out of five people in the country!

However, these people are so-called critics, and some artists do give a lot of positive praise to Fang Yi's work! For example, Xu Shi in the capital also has master-level figures such as Huang Qibai and Huang Qisong.

Some people may be out of their hearts, but a large part of them who scolded Fang Yi didn't think so, these people were all sprayed by Liu Hongshuo without exception, for example, the magazine "Avant-garde Art" was called by Liu Hongshuo, a rotten thing!

Now that Liu Hongshuo, the old man, has jumped out with his disciples, so revenge, some people who used to look at the old man were unhappy, and they also took this opportunity to mock the two and find balance from the small body.

From the beginning to the end of the exhibition, this trend has not passed, and Liu Hongshuo surprised everyone this time, and did not jump out and scold a group of people according to his original temperament, and uncharacteristically remained calm. From the very beginning, I didn't make a single noise in art journals or magazines.

The people who opposed this work even harder, bullying Fang Yi, a newcomer in the painting world, and this matter became more and more lively after the worst!

Opposition is opposition, the word Fang Yi is indeed officially known and familiar, no matter whether it is a good name or a bad name, Fang Yi is so famous! Fang Yi's name appeared in various art magazines from time to time within two months. Or be scolded twice, or be ridiculed twice!

As a disciple of Liu Hongshuo, Fang Yi's reputation in this exhibition, whether it is good or bad, is very loud anyway! far exceeded the expectations of Fang Yi and Jin Peng.

Liu Hongshuo's disciple Fang Yi, this name, now it is estimated that the students of the Academy of Fine Arts can know a thing or two. (To be continued......)
