Chapter 313: I Haven't Seen Money

This trip Zou Heming came to the village is generally very satisfied, although Fang Yi's works are unfinished, they are also very good for now, and the works of the four Khima have also maintained their standards, and there are some small improvements, at least for now, Zou Heming thinks that he has signed a few artists, and he has not begun to scribble because he is famous, and he is a very reliable artist.

As for the troubles, of course, there are also troubles, that is, Fang Yi's masterpiece that imitates Rembrandt's technique, and now Zou Heming is thinking about how to turn these ridicules into the driving force of Fang Yi's fame. Zou Heming knew that this matter was a bit difficult to do, but someone had to do the difficult things, especially as Fang Yi's contracted gallery, if he shrank his head at this time, it would be really tasteless. Of course, if Fang Yi's painting is too unbearable, Zou Heming's head will really retract nine times out of ten!

When Zou Heming, who returned to New York, began to think about how to handle this matter well, what he didn't expect was that a little traitor appeared and passed the news of the painting to several museums.

This little traitor is Rudd, when Fang Yi completed almost 90 percent, Rude couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw the surviving piece, because the real work of this work is in the hands of the Swedes, not in the Netherlands, at the current level of Fang Yi's painting, it is not like Rembrandt, that is Rembrandt. Ruud is also a patriot, thinking that since this work Fang Yi will be sold, then selling it to a museum in the Netherlands should be the best ending.

After talking to Fang Yi, Ruud began to contact the museum in Amsterdam. Fang Yi could understand Rude's mood, so he nodded and agreed.

The current Ruud is not the same as before, he didn't ask for money, he didn't ask for fame. There's only one life left, and it's worth a little money. Ruud is now an influential artist in the Netherlands, both alive and in the world, and the museum that received his call should deal with it in a faceless way, let alone the work of Fang Yi, another member of linearism. Several Dutch museums that received Ruud's call would at least send someone to see it twice.

The two or three dials that came successively were all rejected by Fang Yi. The price was too low, and two or three hundred thousand dollars wanted to take away the work in Fang Yi's hand, as if it was a pipe dream.

The most popular group was a private museum in the Netherlands, and I went to Fang Yi's house to see the "Batavian Rebellion" that Fang Yi was drawing. There is also another part of the painting below, which has been painted.

"Mr. Fang, I praise you from the bottom of my heart," said one of the three named Marco.

Fang Yi nodded slightly. Just waiting for this old bald man in his fifties to say but, sure enough, he didn't let Fang Yi wait for a long time, and Fang Yi heard this meaning in less than two seconds.

"But it's just an imitation. Although the imitation is very good. But his value is certainly not the price of the original, we are very interested in this painting, and we don't have much desire for the rest of it," Marco continued: "In the case of this one. We are willing to pay 300,000 euros".

Hearing this, Fang Yi had no expression on his face, and Rude himself smiled bitterly, 300,000 euros? Do you all think your friends haven't seen money? Such a large painting is 300,000 euros. Did you give Fang Yi the money to imitate the painting? A slightly famous artist personally imitates a famous master's work. As soon as the museum decided that it was fifty or sixty thousand euros, Fang Yi's reputation and such a large work were worth 300,000 yuan.

"I'm sorry!" Fang Yi shook his head and said: "I can't be the master of this work, if you are interested in buying it, no matter which part it is, you can ask my gallery when I finish painting."

As soon as they heard Fang Yi say this, the three of them understood that they couldn't settle down today, and chatted with Fang Yirude and the two of them, and just when they were about to turn around and leave, one of them found Fang Yi's completed work. Leave it there and wait for it to dry.

"This is Mr. Fang's new work?" Marco stood in front of the work and looked at it for a long time, then turned to Fang Yi and asked, "Can this work also be purchased in the gallery?" ”。

"It's been ordered by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it won't be on the gallery's list," Fang Yi said. After a few groups of people, Fang Yi was already a little impatient in his heart, just watching others appreciate his works, and it was difficult to say it because of his face.

These are human spirits, looking at Fang Yi's face, they can't see it, Rude's face is covered with frost, where can he stay like this, Xuan Huo said two words that are not nutritious, then turned around and got into the car at the door and left.

As soon as he watched the people leave, Rude sighed and said to Fang Yi, "Sorry! I shouldn't have called them in the first place."

"Nothing" Fang Yi patted Rude on the shoulder and said, the mood of his friend is understandable, it is these people who come too fucked up. One of his meticulously 'copied' paintings is worth 300,000 euros? This is still the highest bid! If this is sold, isn't there much difference between his master-level realm and squatting in a museum to close to his works? What has been completed in a few months is not as valuable as one of my own sketches, so what's the reason?

Ruud went back dejected.

Fang Yi thinks that other people's bids are fucking, but the people who come to see them are experts, and the price is also based on Fang Yi's current price, as for the size of the canvas, these people don't have any heart to take it into account, what everyone wants is the piece that survives, as for the things you infer to draw, who knows how reliable there is in the Dao, the biggest possibility is that it is not consistent with the real work at all. Who wants to spend this unjust money to buy some bad things and go back.

A few groups of Dutch people came and walked faster, and Fang Yi's days were gone, and these fucked people returned to their previous slow and comfortable rhythm.

For four or five months, Fang Yi's focus was on this work, and he only completed one of his works, and the second one had just taken shape.

All the parts have been completed, and they are placed in Fang Yi's living room one by one, want to put them together? I'm sorry, Fang Yi's current nest can't be built at all.

Removing all the parts from the frame, Fang Yi began to cut out the useless edges, so that when they were joined into the whole work, they would become one.

"You be careful" Rude watched Fang Yi wave the sharp knife in his hand, and easily slashed along the sideline, except for a knife in his hand, he didn't even prepare a ruler to go down like this, he was a little trembling carefully, and hurriedly reminded Fang Yi.

Fang Yi raised his head and smiled: "I know what I drew myself." His hands didn't stop while he spoke.

Looking at the canvas on the floor, Kshma said, "It's a pity that there is no place to put this painting together, and I can't see the whole picture."

Fang Yi listened and said: "If you want to see it, wait for the sun to set, while the sky is still bright, let's put them together and hang them directly outside to see."

"It's a great idea," Anders said.

Fang Yi spent about an hour cutting the painting, and then chatted about the sky while waiting for the sun to set. The painting has been completed, of course, Zou Heming's presence is indispensable. When waiting for the completion of the surviving part, Zou Heming himself came to see it, and at the same time listened to the evaluation of the five people of Khima, about how to push this work out, and now Zou Heming has a plan in his heart.

"Let's talk about it, how are you going to push Yi's work out, first talk about that part of it, and the selling price doesn't count," Anders looked up at Zou Heming and asked.

Zou Heming smiled when he heard this, and leaned lightly against the back of the sofa: "Of course it's the whole, there's nothing new about this idea, anyway, you can hear the news!" When the time comes, you will naturally know the way." Although he has a plan in his heart, Zou Heming is not very down-to-earth now, although he and Kahima are a little discerning, but they are not professional appraisers, so how many flaws in Fang Yi's works can be seen by professionals, Zou Heming's heart is not at the bottom, if there is any problem with the previous arrangement, then of course the plan behind it is impossible to unfold.

"Don't you honestly stay in your mansion in Paris, live your life of drunkenness, and have time to come here today? How is the finished work, if it is finished, it will be sent to the gallery," Zou Heming quipped to Anders in order to change the subject.

Anders smiled and stretched out his index finger and shook it a few times in front of him: "Don't look at my life with strange eyes, I just pay more attention to my own taste of life than them." As for the work, didn't I send you one last time, why did it sell out so quickly? ”。

"No, in order to control the speed of sale, I detained your work for more than a month, but this time I can take it out and give it to the buyer when I go back," Zou Heming said.

"Then you're still urging?"

"I'm afraid that you only care about enjoying life and putting painting aside" Zou Heming's sentence is a bit of a half-truth, Anders is a little too active these days, two fashion models have quickly entered Anders' life, and then were invited out of their lives by Anders at the same speed. This incident actually made Anders, an artist, appear in the gossip news of the newspaper.

"I can manage this, and I spend at least four hours a day in the studio," Anders says.

It has been almost half a year since the second tour of the United States, and the impact of fame or money on several people has gradually begun to appear.

Anders is now throwing a party or something in Paris when he has nothing to do, and Artur is now paying attention to dressing up, of course, it is mainly Ilia's idea, and Artur doesn't have that vision for dressing up if he wants to. Now Artur is driving Alpha? Romeo's top-of-the-line coupe can be said to be a famous brand, except for Ilia's persuasion to move to Paris, the rest of the things are all listened to by the woman. Kehima spoke less, but his temper seemed to have grown, not to Fang Yi's friends, but to the people outside. Ruud didn't seem to have changed much, and continued to bury his head in the studio.
