Chapter 328: These People Are Lazy
Putting down the phone in his hand, Fang Yi touched his forehead and couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, the Swiss collector's $20,000 painting in the United States estimated the price of $200 million, which was more like pouring a little stingy oil on the hearts of European money fans, so that people who wanted to make a fortune for no reason took out the collection at home. If nothing else, let's just say that the business of the various forensic agencies in France is now increasing by 30% faster than usual.
Of course, institutions such as the Musée de Versailles do not encounter too inferior imitations like ordinary small galleries, and those who come here are imitations that can be eye-catching, or it is not known who the ancient paintings of the author of the Tao have been sent to identify them. If this kind of ancient painting identification is not the work of the famous master who has been handed down, who knows what the name of a person hundreds of years ago is, even if the painter leaves a name in the work, what is the meaning, Zhang San is still Zhang San, Li Si is still Li Si, and it can't become Titian Qi Baishi.
Fang Yi's pain is that he is now called to the museum by Nick every two or three days, and some works that look like and like often have to be looked at by Fang Yi, a supernumerary appraiser, before conducting a series of tests. That is to say, some specious works will make Fang Yi run away, at the beginning, Fang Yi was still happy to think that he could observe the master's real works up close, but after several trips, he was a little bored, and many of the ancient paintings sent over were not master works.
In European society, a dynasty can be passed down for hundreds of years and so on, and there are very few dynastic changes in them, because the heads of each king are still pressed by the pope, and there is less turmoil, and on the other hand, there is a greater chance that the art will be preserved. Many works by lesser-known painters are relatively easy to preserve. Just like now, when Fang Yi goes to the museum, nine times out of ten, he just looks at these ancient paintings that don't have any big meaning, and the selling price on the market is according to the year. The size ranges from a few thousand to one or two thousand.
Sitting on the sofa and covering his forehead, a sentence popped out of Fang Yi's mind: Nick's gang has become lazy! Now Fang Yi feels that there are a lot of paintings, and they have to pull themselves to run because they have their own doubts, so what's the point?
Fang Yi complained that people were annoying him with broken paintings, and he didn't think about the importance that people on Nick's side paid to Fang Yi's current words, and after standing in front of the painting and looking at it for a few minutes, he directly concluded the authenticity of the work, and quickly deduced who might be painted on the work, and this kind of ability is not something that everyone has. Of course, nonsense is another story. It's really awesome that you can get a lot of appraisers to agree with what you say casually.
That Leonardo da Vinci can cost 200 million, not only because it is a work by Leonardo da Vinci, but also because it is the first painting found now on parchment. The girl is the Archduke of Austria, the queen of the Holy Roman Emperor. Almost all of these things together can support such a high price.
With such a sky-high price, it turned out that this work, which was casually put in a cabinet drawer, naturally doubled in value, and was put into a bank safe by the Swiss. Two hundred million dollars is more than all the worth of this little collector, can you be careful?
This one has benefited. Fang Yi also made some small gains here. The ability to identify the works was praised by the appraisers of the Versailles Museum. This is why there is the current trouble, that is, Fang Yi now not only looks at Rembrandt, but also has two brushes to look at other people's works.
Sitting on the sofa for a while, Fang Yi complained in his heart about his prospective colleagues, then stood up and walked to his canvas, ready to start creating his own work, a one-meter-by-two-meter-five banner work, on which is the scene of a farmer in a small village tidying up his yard.
The reason why Fang Yi created this work is that he feels that these foreigners in the village like to take care of their own yards. As soon as there is a little open space, I will think about planting some flowers and plants, even if the yard is small. When the season comes, you will always see all kinds of flowers, clusters of beautiful dressing up in the small courtyard. Although they are not valuable things, they represent the attitude of these people to the life of farmers, which makes Fang Yi very emotional.
This situation made Fang Yi can't help but reflect, for what is the spirit of Chinese peasants is not like these French peasants, not to say how the domestic peasants are, everyone is more or less simple, and sometimes a little cunning. But there is a big difference in attitudes towards life. Domestic farmers, including the small villages where Fang Yi stayed, hardly saw their small yards dressed up so beautifully, and most of them spent their free time at the mahjong table, or moved a stool to their own small courtyard to bask in the sun.
This question made Fang Yi think about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any satisfactory answer, and in the end he could only find a reason for himself: it may be that the class he is in is different. The status of Chinese peasants has always been very low, as can be seen from the pejorative term of the so-called migrant workers, while the peasants in France can be regarded as the middle class, belonging to the backbone of society, one bottom and one backbone, perhaps this is the reason for this situation.
The meaning of Fang Yihua's work is to think that Chinese farmers will one day be like these French farmers, pay attention to their own quality of life, and live a prosperous life. With this in mind, the peasants bending over the courtyard in Fang Yi's work have a smile on their faces, grasping a few blades of grass in one hand and reaching out among the flowers with the other. There was also a five or six-year-old child next to the old man who was pulling the grass, and his two eyes were staring at a flower next to his grandfather without blinking, because there was a colorful butterfly standing on it, and the child's body seemed to be gently lifted upward, and the two fleshy little hands were also raised a little from the sides of the body, and the little hands had been bent up, just to pounce on this beautiful butterfly.
A quiet village, two grandparents and grandchildren who easily tidy up the yard, with all kinds of flowers. It was depicted on his canvas by Fang Yi with bright and elegant brushstrokes. Before Fang Yi started painting, he wrote the name of the work in ultramarine on the background - Village, followed by Fang Yi and the year, month and day.
I painted for two days with peace of mind, and it was time for the third day. The museum didn't call to continue to harass him, Fang Yi painted very highly.
"Teacher!" In the afternoon, Fang Yi received a call from his teacher Liu Hongshuo from China and happily picked it up.
"Xiaoyi. What are you busy with now?" asked Liu Hongshuo happily at Fang Yi.
reported to his teacher what he was busy with now, and then asked about the physical condition of his teacher and his wife, Fang Yi waited for the teacher's next question.
Liu Hongshuo listened to the student's words and continued to ask, "Do you have time to come back in two months?" ”。
"There should be no problem with time, it's just a matter of staying for a long time" Fang Yi heard the teacher ask, even if he didn't have time, he had to squeeze out time to go back. After listening to the teacher's words, Fang Yi thought that the teacher had promised Liu Yuchan to go back to give a lecture or demonstrate techniques to the alumni of Shiyi.
"A few of your friends don't have time. If so, please come with them," Liu Hongshuo asked again.
Fang Yi thought for a moment: "I'm going to ask them about this, because there shouldn't be too much of a problem." Invite a few friends to go back to China with you, as long as the time is arranged, and you will still give a few people who want to come to this face.
"Let's take a closer look. When you come back, I have one more thing to announce here," Liu Hongshuo laughed.
Fang Yi asked curiously, "What's the matter, you also tell me to follow Lehehehe?" ”。
"When you come back, you will know the truth, I haven't told anyone about this, and I will announce it when you come back" Liu Hongshuo snorted at his beloved apprentice.
"That's fine! I'll give you a word after I've discussed it with the Kahima guys. Determine the approximate time" The teacher's answer made Fang Yi smile. At such an age, what do you still sell me? Thinking about it, Fang Yi thought that he had guessed a little, maybe his alma mater was going to issue him a doctoral diploma or something, maybe he might even get some kind of reputation for himself or a false name of a guest professor or something, hanging on his head.
chatted with the teacher for a while, and then Liu Hongshuo said, Fang Yi listened, and the teacher asked in detail from life to painting, and Fang Yi did not have the slightest impatience. Listen carefully with your ears and feel the love implied by your teacher's words with your heart.
Waiting for Liu Hongshuo to hang up the phone, Fang Yi raised his feet and walked out of his room. I started to ask my friends when we could make some time together to embellish my way home.
Kahima's answer was simple: Just tell me when you're sure it's time!
Artur looked at Fang Yi and blinked his eyes twice and nodded: I don't have a problem either.
Only Ruud and Anders were a little verbose.
"Can I paint a model over there?" Rudra opened the door and asked Fang Yi who was standing at the door.
Fang Yi looked at the two naked models in Rude's living room and walked around shamelessly, sighed and said: "There are models, but when you do this, you will be arrested by the police, and you will pay the fine yourself, which is not in my budget."
Ruud's affairs are nothing abroad, but when he arrives at home, he looks like a crowd or something. As long as someone reports it, this old boy will be arrested immediately. The foreigner's face may be able to make the old boy pay less money, but if this matter is known by the media, it will be fun. One of the five masters of the line gathered a group of men and women in the country to do something unhealthy, not to mention that it was really reported, even now that I think about it, it is enough to fuck up.
"Restraint a little" Fang Yi didn't forget to put a tight spell on this old boy after the most reluctant, and when he turned around, he thought about the plane in his mind, as long as he set foot on China, this tight spell would have to be given to Rude from time to time. While thinking about it, he reached out the phone and called Anders, the last member of the group.
"Can I go to the Great Wall? Can I go to the Forbidden City? A barrage of questions came out of the kid's mouth.
"The Great Wall is far away."
"So what's going to do?" Anders asked, pretending.
Fang Yi didn't know that this kid was teasing himself again: "When we come back, we will leave the capital and take you around, right?" ”。
"What do you say about the cost?" How could Anders, who got a chance, give up so easily.
"I'll take it" Fang Yi directly took over the fee: "Legal expenses, as for what you want to do something illegal and undisciplined, you will pay for it yourself." How could this kind of little money see in Anders's eyes now, it was just to toss Fang Yi and have some fun.
"Okay, I'll be notified when it's timed."
Hearing this, Fang Yigang wanted to hang up the phone, but heard a voice from the other end: "You can also pack the food, I want to eat something Chinese."
Ay! Fang Yi sighed and hung up the phone directly. (To be continued......)
