The fact that the five of them devoted themselves to the study of new techniques meant that linearism was taken one step further. Zou Heming, who was far away in the United States, was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news, and in the name of sending the exhibition to five people to settle the sale of paintings, he once again rushed to this small village in France.

Sitting on the sofa in the barn, which has been converted into a studio, the five of them and their contracted gallery manager, Zou Heming, sit face to face again.

"It's yours!" Zou Heming looked at the check in his hand, took out one of it and sent it to Rude on the other side.

In Fang Yi's view, this American with Chinese descent is now a bit like he has been contaminated with a bad habit, a bit like when Fang Yi heard the bonuses of Japanese-funded companies in China, the little devil boss always likes to hand over the envelope to every employee. Take a 90-degree bow, followed by a sentence of hard work or something. Now what Zou Heming did made Fang Yi think of this with a smile.

"Taxes or something have been deducted! Now the rest is what you get the last time! Zou Heming said to everyone while handing out the check in his hand.

Fang Yi took the check in his hand, looked at the number on it, 670,000 US dollars, and couldn't help but sigh: Americans' taxes are really high for his uncle, and he has a little bit of a 100,000 yuan under the fiddling of three and two tricks. What else is the capital gains tax, the sales tax, and what customs fees are charged to foreign painters like Fang Yi, the U.S. government has really hollowed out its mind to collect taxes!

"Everyone should buy a house, buy a house, and change the garage for a sports car!" Zou Heming, who finished distributing the money, was very happy, because he added the checks in Fang Yi's five hands. Multiplying it by 0.8 is the income of his gallery, and the United States will make more than a million dollars after a circle, which is of course a happy thing.

Ruud looked at the check in his hand. This time, his paintings were sold the most, so the income was also the highest of more than 760,000 yuan, and now he was looking at the numbers on the check with a confused face and said: "I really don't know how to spend it!" ”。

Fang Yi listened to Rude's words, couldn't help but laugh softly, folded the check in his hand, put it in his pocket, Fang Yi turned his head to Zou Heming and said, "Last time you said that the house had grass. Help me find one! ”。

"You're moving to the United States?" Kehima asked in surprise at Fang Yi when he heard this.

"I don't have any plans to do that now, but I'm very interested in the place that Lawrence said, and I'll buy one when I have the money! It's good to keep it for me and Beronica to go on vacation! Fang Yi said to his friends.

Fang Yi just finished speaking. Zou Heming clapped his hands and said: "That's right, if you make money, you keep it for it!" What kind of size are you going to buy, what kind of special requirements do you have to tell me, and I will help you find the real estate economy when you go back! If it's a little more expensive. And tax refunds! ”。

I thought about it for a moment. Fang Yi said: "The number is on the line according to the number of this check, the house is a little better, it is best to bring good living facilities, and then the requirements are those, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, there are streams and trees." It's not too far from the city, it's not good to be far away from this small village! It's a thirty or forty minute drive into the city, with a small river running through it. Don't give me any crops, I'm going to keep the grass! ”。

"Thirty or forty minutes into the city is a bit difficult. Los Angeles is not small, thirty or forty minutes drive to the city center is also on the outskirts of the city, and the traffic jam in Lobinji is also very serious. The farms and pastures are not so close, you still have to have mountains and rivers" Zou Heming shook his head: "It's more difficult!" ”。

Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, "Then put it in half an hour to the edge of the city!" The main thing is quiet and natural".

"There's nothing wrong with that!" After Zou Heming finished speaking, he pointed at Fang Yi and looked at the other people and said, "This is what will cost money, and the money has been spent as soon as it arrives!" I can get some tax refunds along the way."

Kehima looked at Zou Heming and said with a little bitterness on his face: "I really don't know where the Dao Flower is!" If we talk about buying a house, we will definitely not live in this small village forever, and I can't remember where to live in the future. ”。

"Why don't you buy a vacation home with me?" Fang Yi looked at a few friends and said, "In the future, everyone will have a vacation together, and you can still run around the door or something." Fang Yi doesn't have any plans in his mind about where to live for a long time now, of course, considering the market factors, it is best to live in the United States.

"If we hadn't moved to the United States," Artur said. Anyway, I look at a small resort like Lawrence now, and the scenery is not bad, it's not much different from here! ”。 For Europe, Artur shows that he has no sense of homesickness, anyway, he has been oppressed since he was a child, maybe this person is still looking forward to going to the United States.

"I don't really want to go to the United States!" Anders said: "I'm more used to living here in Europe! ”。

Ruud said: "Don't mention this, anyway, everyone has time to think slowly, it will take several months for our technique to be perfected and held!" Let's get the painting stuff done first."

Zou Heming has already seen several new studies of color, of course, most of them are from Fang Yi and Kshima's canvases, the colors are more bright and soft when placed on Fang Yi's canvases, and they are more enthusiastic and majestic when they are placed on Kshima's canvases. It is a step deeper than the original style of painting, and if it is completed, the so-called linealist style can be established in a real sense. This is quite a crucial and important step!

"How many more months? You estimate! Zou Heming thought for a moment and asked the five people.

"It's going to be more than four months at the earliest," I estimate," says Kahima, "and there are some problems that we haven't thought of a better solution for, and that's the problem of dealing with low-brightness colors!" ”。

"Hurry up! Aim to be able to participate in next year's Venice Biennale! If it's fast, you can also try to participate in your own national exhibition, if not, I'll look for a curator to participate in the exhibition in your personal capacity! Zou Heming thought for a moment and said: "If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for another two years!" I hope we can attract more public attention at this exhibition! It's best to get the attention of the mainstream media, so that the promotion of everyone's work is much easier! ”。

Venice Biennale? Of course, this exhibition Fang Yi knows and knows its significance. If you don't look at anything else, just look at the award-winning figures over the years, and you will know how the Oscars in the art world came about.

Sculptor Henry? Moore, Picasso of Cubism, Matisse of Fauvism, Kandinsky, the originator of Extractism, Miró, Mondrian and Chagall, of course, many more masters. Including those who do not recognize their status as masters in Fang Yi's view, such as Rauschenberg, the founder of Pop, and Marianne, the mother of performance art? Abramovich is now a god in the world of art.

In short, this biennale that has been made by Italians since 1895 is very good, and there are many masters who have been gods here! Not only was he famous before, but if the unfamous one won a Golden Lion Award from here, he would immediately be worth a hundred times. Sometimes things like sparrows turning phoenixes have been staged before at the Venice Biennale, and they are still happening.

There is such a magical biennale, not to mention that many people in China want to come here to cross the gold, even the foreign art world is also flocking to it, looking forward to becoming famous all over the world.

Fang Yi thought about it for a while and felt that he couldn't enter the national pavilion, because China's national pavilion has always been a stage for exporting national consciousness from home to abroad. Under the baton of the state, the national pavilion of the Venice Biennale is full of the national consciousness of the state department to export orthodoxy. No matter what angle Fang Yi thinks about, it is impossible for his works to enter the National Pavilion, first, it is an oil painting, and second, it is not Chinese style enough!

Although many artists in China are full of opinions and ridicule of China's national pavilion at the Venice Biennale, some people jokingly call it the 'Panda Pavilion'! There is also a lot of disdain about the level of what curators, but it is still the case every year, ceramics and silk five elements gossip, and then things like yin and yang harmony still come every year, every time, change the soup without changing the medicine. Yes

"It's still early, who knows what will happen to Ludao next year!" Fang Yi said to Zou Heming.

Ruud didn't care about the Venice Biennale, he was very interested in Fang Yi's new actions in the past two days, and asked directly: "What are you doing with those bottles and cans?" Are you going to mix your own paint? ”。

"Hmm!" Fang Yi nodded affirmatively and continued: "Some colors are not satisfactory to me, I am going to try to make some of them, and fiddle with them to get some brighter and suitable isolation media!" ”。

Artur blinked at Fang Yi, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you ready to do the work of an alchemist?" Some pigments react with each other! ”。

"Didn't you see that I bought some chemistry books, and besides, there is no Internet now! If you look at the main ingredients, I think it's pretty much the same! Fang Yi explained to his friends.

After returning from the museum, Fang Yi began to toss these things with mediums, some oils and mediums are not available on the market now, or some of the previous ones are now gone, Fang Yi chose one or two properties that are in line with the skills of several people and are ready to slowly 'research' and prepare them.

Anders shook his head and said, "Yi! I can't help you with that, I dropped out! I don't know anything about this! ”。

"I can't help it!" Ruud opened his mouth to say.

The remaining two also said they couldn't help.

"I'm just studying and taking a look, my chemistry is good, but the reaction of these minerals shouldn't be so intense," Fang Yi said. For Fang Yi, it is to copy some useful things out of his mind, mix them out, anyway, first 'research' the most needed agents, and then talk about others later, and slowly 'study'!
