To tell the truth, Zhang Xu and these people engaged in the first China Portrait Painting Grand Prix, both in terms of organization and participation schedule, it is a 'full reference' of the competition organized by the American Portrait Society.

The total prize base of the competition invested in the whole competition is 180 million yuan, and the annual gold award prize is 180,000 yuan, and of course, there are second prizes or something. In addition to Zhang Xu and Li Lin, the two main investors, as well as Rude and Kehima, plus Zou Heming's domestic cultural company, a total of so many people.

The prize money is about 30,000 US dollars in US dollars, but in China, at least many government-run private art competitions have not set such a high prize money, and it is estimated that it will attract some young and talented artists in China to try their luck.

Although there is no Fang Yi to support the scene, but there are Rude and these people as judges, not to mention that such a level of judges can be taken in the domestic and international markets.

"You can really toss, and it's almost a page to be a shareholder! Whoever is like you to run a big competition fund pulls a long list of people, and it is ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign! Fang Yi asked at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu heard Fang Yi say this, and said happily: "You are not in business, you know a fart, sometimes there are many shareholders and many benefits, and the combination of soil and foreign things is smoother." Some things that are suitable for Chinese faces will be on me, and things that are easy for foreign faces to do will be Wright, and you won't understand the twists and turns here to tell you! ”。

"That's it! Then there's nothing to do here, I'll hang up! Fang Yi was not interested in any business at all, and Zhang Xu wanted to popularize the knowledge of shopping malls for himself. This is also where Zhang Xu thinks that he is stronger than Fang Yi, as soon as he says it, he is very proud, Fang Yi decided not to give this kid a chance to show off.

"Don't mind! I really have something serious to ask for your opinion! Seeing that Fang Yi was about to hang up the phone, Zhang Xu immediately said.

"What do you say?" Fang Yi retracted the hand that was on the hang up button.

"What do you think of me going to contract five or six thousand acres of mountainous land?" Zhang Xu asked over the phone.

There is no beginning and no end to this problem. Where could Fang Yi think of how to answer for a while: "How did you think of doing this!" Is it profitable to contract barren mountains? ”。

Zhang Xu heard this and immediately said: "Look at your style!" What to do and where to just think about making money! After making fun of Fang Yi, he told Fang Yi about a thing he saw some time ago: "That's it, I think the conditions for contracting mountainous land in China are also good, I will rent it for decades, plant trees in barren mountains and raise some pigs and sheep, anyway, as long as it is a little less loss, of course, it is better not to lose me, I am more satisfied!" ”。

Fang Yi didn't expect Zhang Xu to have this heart, and when he heard it, he also felt that this was a good thing. It is a meritorious thing to turn barren mountains green, so naturally I agree very much, think for a while and say, "You do this first." Waiting for you to figure out the way, I will also go to cover some barren mountains."

Fang Yi wanted to do this as a good deed.

The two chatted about the issue for a while and ended the call.

After spending two days in the studio, Fang Yi saw Kerry, and of course there was a beautiful young girl who came with him. As soon as I saw the girl's appearance. Fang Yi couldn't help but smile in his heart, he was so beautiful, no wonder this kid Kerry was so active in doing things for others.

"This is my friend Vivian! I told you two days ago that there is a work I want you to see, and it is hers! As soon as Kerry entered the door, he introduced the girl next to him to Fang Yi.

"Very good to meet you, Mr. Fang!" Vivien immediately stretched out her hand to Fang Yi.

Touching someone's hand, Fang Yi raised his hand to a table next to him: "It's okay, put the things you brought on the table, I'll take a look!" ”。

Listened to Fang Yi's words. Kerry placed the painting he was holding on the table, then untied it and placed it on the table.

Fang Yi walked to the table and looked at the painting carefully. After looking at it for more than a minute, he reached out and picked up the edge of the frame, and asked Vivian, "Where did you get this work?" ”。

When he really saw this work, Fang Yi felt that this Steven? Willing? Pyrok's skills are indeed extraordinary, and they are not inferior to some of the masters of his predecessors.

"When I was younger, I heard my grandfather say that his grandfather kept it when he got it, and I really don't know exactly when he got it. I've asked someone to identify it before, but they all say that it's an ancient painting made by no one and it's not worth much, so it passed into my hands! As soon as Vivian heard Fang Yi ask, she answered honestly.

Fang Yi nodded when he heard this, this work is an old painting, and it is not something that has been around for nearly a hundred years, at least for about three hundred years. But this technique is really good, and it can be said that it is superb! Somehow, this man is not famous at all.

"Is there something wrong with this painting?" Kerry couldn't help but ask when he saw Fang Yi looking so attentively. Because since Kerry and Fang Yi dealt with each other, Fang Yi had never shown such a attentive demeanor to a work. Even if it is some of everyone's works, Fang Yi usually picks them up and looks at them carefully, without the frowning appearance that he is there now.

"The signature on the painting indicates that the author of this painting is Steven? Willing? Pyrok! That's right" Fang Yi first determined the author of the painting, there is no hole in the mind of the two of them, there is no hole, the probability of this matter is too small, I can meet the two of you, I want to think cranky, go to bed early.

"It's just that it stands to reason that this person's standard is very high, so he shouldn't be so famous!" Fang Yi looked at this painting and didn't understand a little, more than 300 years ago, that is, in the 170s, at that time, in China, it was the so-called Kang Xi Emperor time that was blown up by a bunch of sycophants, and at that time, the aesthetic works of Europeans were painted This person must not be famous, and at that time, European auction houses had already appeared in London.

Kerry turned to Fang Yi and asked, "You haven't seen another work of this person either?" ”。

"It doesn't seem to be!" Fang Yi shook his head and said. I have to say that Fang Yi's heart is full of curiosity about this work, not only curious, but also seems to have a vague sense of déjà vu in his heart, feeling that such a thing seems to have a little connection with himself. Although he didn't know where this connection was, Fang Yizong felt it.

Of course, Fang Yi wouldn't honestly tell Kerry and Vivien everything, no one would tell anyone else about this.

"Keep it! It's still good to enjoy as a good collector's item! Maybe one day another work will be discovered, and this person will become famous all of a sudden! Fang Yi took one last look at the works on the table and said to Kerry and Vivian.

Hearing Fang Yi say this, Vivian's face couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, and then asked Fang Yi, "Then Mr. Fang, how much do you estimate this work to be worth?" ”。

Fang Yi listened to Vivian's words and said, "If you like the price, you can get a little more than 40,000!" Fang Yi directly gave a very high price for ancient paintings. Because Fang Yi felt that this work was really worth the price. If he had come across this work in a gallery or somewhere, Fang Yi would have bought it, but now it was sent by Kerry. Even if Fang Yi wanted to buy it, it was hard to say.

It is not pleasant to mention Kerry after it is less, and if there is too much, Fang Yi is not willing here, although Fang Yi feels that he wants this work very much, but it is not appropriate to do this on this occasion now.

"Oh!" Vivian nodded, and then said thank you to Fang Yi again!

Understand that Fang Yi has finished reading the painting. Kerry took it upon himself to put the work back in his bag. Then after mentioning his hand, he said to Fang Yi: "Thank you, sir, then we will leave!" ”。

Fang Yi nodded at the two of them and sent two steps, and then watched the two leave his studio.

Looking at the backs of the two, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh, and then sat back on the chair in his studio, closed his eyes and thought about the appearance of this work in his mind, and began to think about why this work had a sense of déjà vu.

After thinking about it for more than an hour, Fang Yi didn't have a clue about this matter, so he had to give up this idea for the time being. I returned to my easel.

Picking up the brush again, Fang Yi began to sketch the topic of his competition with Bobile. That is, "High Pet Pick Luge".

As a fictional story, of course, no one knows what this so-called iron block looks like, although there are all kinds of messy things on the Internet, but how many reliable things are described in ancient legends or novels? Zhuge Liang not only borrowed the east wind but also extended his life, many things are not credible in reality.

Now what Fang Yi is in front of him is not only to create the image of a peerless general, but also to create a device, this thing must reflect the courage of the high pet, but it can't be too exaggerated. Fang Yi wants to paint his work so that people can believe that what is painted in his work is reality, but he is stored in a specific time before you.

In this way, it is more realistic and credible, if the painting is too exaggerated, then it will make your own work into the original painting of the game, just have power and color and the like, for Fang Yi is too much to grab the theme, and it does not match his own style.

"Iron block, iron block!" Fang Yi couldn't satisfy himself with five or six iron pulleys he imagined in his mind, so he couldn't help but put down his brush and gently rubbed his face. Now the things drawn on the paper are either too sharp or too bland, Fang Yi requires this thing to look like it can neither be too snatchy nor too impressive, but it is in a state that is just right and impartial.

This is Fang Yi's requirement for the iron pulley, and Gao Chong has to think about it from his appearance to the posture of the war horse, from the human armor to the horse party Yi. This is the people and the mountain road, it can be said that there are too many things for Fang Yi to consider this time.

The iron pulley can't get through, Fang Yi has to think about something else, and now the easiest thing to think about is the horse.

Mongolian horses are excellent military horses, Nai is well bred and has good stamina. Although Mongolian horses have such and such advantages, they are not suitable for painting from the perspective of whether they are beautiful or not.

The Mongolian horse is a good military horse, but its shoulder height is generally only one meter two to one meter three, and it looks like the height is really not much bigger than the donkey's physique, and it is very unsuitable to put it in the painting. Therefore, it did not meet Fang Yi's requirements, and as for other horses, Fang Yi also felt that it was a little worse.

There was really no way, Fang Yi felt that Gao Pet should have a 'big ocean horse'. As for what horse to choose, it took Fang Yi several hours to check the information on the Internet, and finally chose the Lipizza horse, of course, but the color of the body shape will not be white, but consider the pale golden coat color selected.

After choosing a horse on the Internet, Fang Yi began to look for horses at a horse farm near Los Angeles, and he needed to observe this beautiful horse nearby, but when Fang Yi took action, he was hit before he left the house. (To be continued......)
