Jackson's Metropolitan Museum people were looking at the two works in front of them, one was just taken from Fang Yi, and the other was a work that his group had restored after research.

Now these people, including Simon, have very wonderful faces, because everyone feels that the so-called masterpiece that they have worked so hard to repair has become a complete joke in front of this work that Fang Yi has finished.

"I think we have a problem with every color, the blue is too light, the red is too dark! And it's not ......transparent," a museum restoration expert couldn't help it, and directly broke the silence in the room, opened his mouth as if talking to himself, and said to his colleagues around him.

Jackson listened to his colleague's words, and couldn't help but nod his head: "It looks like all the work in front of us has to be done all over again!" ”。

"This work," Simon said, pointing to Fang Yi's work. After seeing this work, Simon immediately had a sense of possession, and Simon also knew that with Fang Yi's reputation alone, this work was now worth a lot of money on the market. Although the possibility of possession was very small, Simon couldn't help but ask.

Although Jackson didn't know what Simon wanted to say, he still said directly: "This work is now part of the Metropolitan Collection!" ”。

"What?" Simon couldn't help but open his mouth, with a little incredible expression on his face.

Jackson opened his mouth to explain: "This work is a work that Fang Yi has been commissioned by our metropolis to copy, and we have a contract before!" ”。

Fang Yi made it very clear in the contract he signed with the Metropolis at the beginning. Fang Yi appraisals and guides the restoration or reproduction of this work. Originally, neither Fang Yi nor Zou Heming, who was negotiating, thought that they would use the latter one, and in Zou Heming's opinion, with Fang Yi's fame, he helped others repair paintings. Others don't say thank you, at least they cheer. Who knew that there would be such a situation, someone would refuse Fang Yi's restoration of the work, Simon was directly like driving people away.

As soon as this problem came out, Fang Yi had to face the last situation, and he might have to help the Met copy this work, of course, this is also the result that the people of the Metropolis want to see the most, and now these people would rather throw Simon and Da Vinci's works out. Fang Yi must implement this latter article.

Because Leonardo da Vinci is Leonardo da Vinci, but it is Leonardo da Vinci that belongs to Simon, and Fang Yi's work belongs to the Met. $200,000 to buy a restoration of Fang Yi, and it was such an excellent restoration that the person who was planning to contract at the Met immediately drew a shining point in his career.

On the contrary, Zou Heming was a little stupid, and when he met Fang Yi, he would come up with a sentence from time to time: Hunting geese all day long. Once pecked blind by geese or something.

After receiving the money, I will do things. Although the money was very small, with the spiritual support of being satisfied with a cautious eye, Fang Yi still felt that he did not lose anything.

After listening to Jackson's brief introduction, Simon felt that he had no hope at all, and even if he had money, it was impossible to get the work from the Met's catalog. Make a price that the Met doesn't have the courage to refuse? I'm afraid that there are not many people in this world who can do it, because you are only one person, and behind the metropolis are dozens or hundreds of people like you!

"Then let's re-examine how to restore this authentic painting!" Simon focused on the word "authenticity" in his own tone, as if to remind everyone present that the hand in his hand was the original work of Leonardo da Vinci. This is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of art in the last 100 years.

Jackson had no interest in understanding what Simon meant, and mumbled. He hugged his hands to his chest, one hand held his chin and frowned, his eyes lingering on Fang Yi's reproductions of Zuò and Leonardo da Vinci's authentic works.

"It's difficult!" After watching it for five or six minutes, Jackson looked around at his colleague and said, "If you can 100% follow Fang Yi's restored work, it is definitely the best plan."

But now Jackson has no bottom in his heart at all, just looking at the color of the crystal ball in Christ's hand, Jackson's heart began to swing. The color is very transparent, this crystal ball seems to be water, with a little solid, more of a liquid flow crystal beauty, said to be blue, which seems to have a little bit of mysterious and hazy purple beauty, and not like purple, it seems to be red after a long time, a crystal ball seems to be like a life, colorful and magical. And that's just a crystal ball!

After saying this, Jackson saw the same mood in his heart from the faces of all his colleagues, impatient and overwhelmed!

"I'd love to say that we can restore the original work like this, but I know it's a lie! Do I look at this work or do I ask for it? Mr. Fang, let's fix it! One of the gray-haired old men said to his colleague: "This is the greatest restoration I have ever seen, and I think that only in the most pinnacle state of Da Vinci's technique, and in the most pinnacle state of mind, can such a masterpiece, an unsurpassed masterpiece!" ”。

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at his colleagues in the room and said, "I quit this group because this work is meaningless to me!" After speaking, he didn't wait for his colleagues to say anything, he shook his head, glanced at the work that Fang Yi had restored, turned around and walked towards the door.

As soon as the old man left, he left with the other two restorers, and now the whole room was left with Jackson, Simon, and four restorers in their forties who wanted to try.

Jackson looked at the rest of the people and squeezed a little smile out of his face: "Then let's do it as a challenge!" After saying that, he swept everyone's faces.

"Let's do it," said one of the remaining restorers, who was only forty years old and considered the best of the young generation, not thinking that he could immediately surpass Fang Yi's current level, but taking this matter as a rare learning opportunity, so he could express his excitement that was different from ordinary people.

Because I took the order. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has to try to complete this list and satisfy its own rooms. In the following month, Jackson and Simon were very sad. Because every time I try to restore the original work that has been cleaned up, I just want to bring out the same color as Fang Yi's copied zuò product, and no one thinks that I can do it.

There was really no way, and under Jackson's construction, the Metropolitan returned Simon's money in full, and also gave 90,000 US dollars in compensation according to the agreement, as for the cost of the cleanup. The Metropolitan Museum of Art politely said that this is a free gift!

A week later, the Metropolitan Museum of Art held an acceptance meeting on a small scale, and Fang Yi's restored work was displayed in the exhibition hall of the Metropolitan Museum. It's just that the following note is: Yi? Fang copied Leonardo da Vinci's "The Savior of the World".

The so-called story began to spread, and the restorers of the Met decided that they could not do anything about the painting? And the work also involves a master Fang Yi who is still alive? Soon after newspaper reports and hype, ordinary people flocked to the metropolis to appreciate Fang Yi's restored work.

And what about the real Da Vinci painting in Simon's hand. It has been sent to several museums and famous restorers of ancient paintings. Hopefully, they can help restore this masterpiece to its original appearance, and now even Simon himself feels that it is the same work that Fang Yi has reproduced now on display at the Met.

This request was so strange that everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw Fang Yi's restoration work, and when they saw the original work that was not lost.

The last one to be found by Simon was the German restorer Brugger, but when Brugger went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art like everyone else to look at Fang Yi's restoration, he couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head.

When he returned to Germany, he was asked by the media why he refused Simon's request. That's what Brugg said.

"What Mr. Fang restored, I don't think we can just look at a restored work, it's a great work in itself. I think it's even if it's the resurrection of Master Leonardo da Vinci. I will be amazed to see this work, shrug my shoulders and say, "Wow!" ”。

"Isn't that too much of an exaggeration?" When a reporter heard this, he immediately asked Brugg: "Yi? Fang has also restored several works before, but not as widely praised as this one, and now as soon as this work appears, almost all appraisers and restorers are full of praise for it......."

Brugg interrupted the reporter: "The standard of Mr. Fang's previous restoration works is also very high, at least I think the restoration level is higher than mine, if he concentrates on the restoration of ancient paintings, then I think my job will be a little dangerous!" ”。

Speaking of this, Brugg smiled slightly: "Fortunately, his main business is painting!" ”。

Listening to a few laughs from the reporters around him, Brugg's face became stern: "I said that this painting of "The Savior of the World" restored by Mr. Fang is a masterpiece, because in order to paint such a work, in addition to the extremely superb skills, there is also one most important point, that is, the artist's own state of mind at the time of creation. At this time, the artist must not only have the passion to create, but also maintain a certain sanity, this situation is a bit like drinking, drinking too little and not reflecting, drinking too much and lying down and not being able to do anything, to combine their body and mind to that specific and balanced excitement, so that it is possible to create such a work! ……”。

"......" The reporters present were stunned for a moment, and they all felt that it was so mysterious?

Looking at the expressions on the faces of these reporters, Brueger nodded: "You can ask an artist at random, or ask someone who has been painting for a long time, and they can all prove it, which is the so-called spark of creative passion." And this work is the crystallization of a spark. And I believe that if Master Leonardo da Vinci is resurrected, he will definitely be amazed by Mr. Fang's work! ”。

This was not only to praise Fang Yi, but Brugger also extracted himself from the compound impact of the matter of pushing off Simon. Now it is a thankless task for anyone who wants to restore this work, because the public has preconceived that Fang Yi's reproduction of the color is the best! Of course, in Brugg's view, this is also true.

Now that the two situations are combined, and some people want to restore the color on the original work, they don't know whether they are dead or alive, and they are purely itchy or scolding. It's like everyone knows that Venus with a broken arm has an arm, but if you want to restore it if you are used to seeing it without an arm, how wrong it is for the world to look at it, and now the original work in Simon's hand is facing such a problem, unless Fang Yi does it himself.

The question is, will Fang Yi do it?

The answer is no, the desperate Simon still found Fang Yi and asked Fang Yi to repair the original work in his hand, because now no one wants to repair this painting, it is such a gray work that is really detrimental to its value!

On the one hand, the answer given by Fang Yi is that he is not interested, and the other is that according to Brugger's meaning, it is 'difficult' to make such a work! Mind and body must be unified.

Such a complicated thing in the spiritual realm, you can do it if you want to, isn't it a street girl!

The end result of the whole thing is this, Fang Yi's restoration of this work has been considered by the world to be the perfect display of the original color, when it comes to Leonardo da Vinci's "Savior of the World" people's first reaction is not the one that Simon once embraced, but the one hanging in the Metropolitan Museum. (To be continued......)
