Chapter 183: Selling Paintings Depends on Face

As soon as Fang Yi returned to the exhibition hall, he heard Chen Shenglin come over and say, "Fang Yi, where have you been, I've been looking for you for a long time!" ”。

"I went to another exhibition hall for a while, what's the matter?" Fang Yi asked.

"There are a few guests who are more interested in your four landscapes, and I would like to discuss the price with you!" After Chen Shenglin finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Qikun on the side.

Although Lu Qikun has a personality, he is not stupid, seeing this situation, he smiled at Fang Yi and said, "Then you chat, I will continue to go to the execution ground!" After saying that, he buttoned his clothes and tightened the tie around his neck, and walked towards the crowd.

Fang Yi asked, "Haven't you sold it before, just sell it at the original price?" ”。 Fang Yi was a little confused, it was a good thing for someone to buy a painting, so would it be a good thing to sell it directly? What else to discuss!

"That's the case, Mr. Liu has always said that your painting is sold cheaply, and you only get 50,000 yuan for a painting, just now I talked to his old man on the phone, and this time the old man said that someone else wants a painting of 200,000, so you have a 140,000 look!"

"Since the teacher said so, then do what the teacher said, I don't have any opinion" Fang Yi said with a smile, Fang Yi is naturally happy when the price of painting rises, he can't be unhappy if the price of his painting rises, and he is happy when the price drops, right? That's what only people with sick brains think!

smiled and looked at Chen Shenglin's expression a little wrong, so he asked again: "What do you say?" ”。

Chen Shenglin thought for a moment, then organized his language and explained to Fang Yi: "This price is very difficult for you now. Because you have never participated in a national exhibition, and you don't have such a big reputation to support this price, so saying that this price comes out virtually reduces the possibility of a transaction! ”。 I'm embarrassed to say that you don't have any fame, even with Lu Qikun's fame now, you can't support this price.

Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "What do I say, follow what the teacher says." It depends on the will of God if it is not a deal! ”。 Of course, Fang Yi thinks that his paintings are worth 200,000 paintings! Each of Fang Yi's paintings is not small, there are very few of them of fifty or sixty centimeters, all of them are eighty or ninety centimeters long, and the pigments alone are more than human use.

Chen Shenglin smiled bitterly when he heard this, and nodded: "Then I'll go talk to them" After speaking, he nodded lightly at Fang Yi, and then turned around and left.

Chen Shenglin didn't say anything here, that is, Fang Yi's age, he is really young, he is just twenty years old, and which of these people who buy paintings is not in their thirties and rushing up in their forties, to put it bluntly, most of the people here have gone west. Fang Yi is still alive and energetic!

Even if Fang Yi paints until he is sixty years old, there are still forty years, and forty years is not four years! If tens of thousands of paintings are made like Picasso, these people will be able to crawl out of the grave crying when the time comes: I bought your painting for decades, and it has not risen, and it has fallen!

Lao Bi's paintings are tens of millions or more than 100 million yuan, and they are all masterpieces, and cheap works are 10,000 US dollars. This is still supported by Picasso's name! If Fang Yi makes tens of thousands of paintings in the future, he will be considered famous. has become a big name in China! The one that sells at a high price is also a masterpiece! It is impossible for all paintings to be in the millions. From the tens of thousands, the dozen or so twenty paintings were selected to represent them. How different is this from buying a lottery ticket? And isn't it a bit too nonsense to talk about masterpieces at the age of twenty?

What's more, no one here has ever thought about whether Fang Yi will become a master like Picasso in the future, not to mention others, even Fang Yi himself has never considered this matter in his heart!

Fang Yi didn't expect that he was not young, he bought three paintings with names in his mind, and he was in a good mood! walked to his girlfriend's side and took Mu Jin to look at the painting for a while, and then the two of them got a little food. Sitting in a resting chair chatting.

Chen Shenglin found the two interested guests and told them the price, and both of them were stunned when they heard it. One of them thought about it for a moment and immediately shook his head and walked away, shouting directly in his mouth: Crazy!

After the last, Chen Shenglin came to An Xiaojun again to ask for the price, and An Xiaojun also took a breath and said, "You really gave me this price." I'm not saying you guys, the price and his age are outrageous! ”。

"The price set by Liu Lao, what can I do!" Chen Shenglin was also a little embarrassed.

Originally, I wanted to discuss with Fang Yi and let Fang Yi go and talk to Liu Lao, but it was almost the same price adjustment according to Chen Shenglin's meaning, 120,000! It's about the same as the price of Lu Qikun's paintings in the exhibition hall. Who knew that one of the two masters and apprentices insisted on 200,000 yuan, and the other directly said to listen to the teacher, this price is really a bit too high!

An Xiaojun smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Originally, I liked all four of them, and I thought that I would buy them all if I wanted to buy one of eighty or ninety thousand!" But now this one costs 200,000, and the risk on my side is too great! ”。

An Xiaojun dared to buy the previous one, it was because it had a story, not that the previous one had no risk, but this risk was worth An Xiaojun's fight. An Xiaojun is rich, and there is no problem at all with hundreds of thousands, but now that one is 200,000, it makes An Xiaojun feel that he has become a big wrongdoer!

Looking at the four groves hanging on the wall, An Xiaojun sighed.

Chen Shenglin had no choice but to say beside him: "There is nothing we can do, Liu Lao is the big pillar of our gallery, I can't refute it!" ”。

"Didn't you say there were two more people who took a fancy to them? What is the attitude of those two? An Xiaojun asked at Chen Shenglin.

Chen Shenglin shook his head: "It's too expensive!" ”。 For this old visitor to the gallery, Chen Shenglin didn't play some false head and said directly.

An Xiaojun smiled at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, his two eyes turned back and forth on the four paintings a few times, and then said to Chen Shenglin: "No one will sell at such a price now!" ”。

Seeing that Chen Shenglin nodded, An Xiaojun opened his mouth and said: "Then let's do it, I can't let you send me an invitation in vain, and I ran two or three times!" I bought this "Morning Woods", which is considered to give you a strong momentum, don't say that the price is out and no one cares, it's a little ugly! But there is one requirement, that is, don't publish my name, is it considered an anonymous purchase? ”。

This is not only about buying paintings, but also about looking at the face of Jinpeng Gallery. An Xiaojun now has a little appreciation for Jinpeng's way of doing things, which can be regarded as a help.

When Chen Shenglin heard this, he immediately thanked him repeatedly! Otherwise, after a few exhibitions, others have sold their paintings, and my gallery says that it is the agent Fang Yi's paintings, and none of them have come out, so that's not a thing! If there was no An Xiaojun for a while, Zheng Xiaopeng was afraid that he would have to pay for it himself. Of course, there is no 200,000 yuan for the gallery purchase, and the commission is only about 140,000 yuan.

If you want to leave a good impression on Fang Yi, some investments cannot be saved!

Chen Shenglin and An Xiaojun negotiated the price, and then discussed the time of payment, and told Fang Yi the result.

Mu Jin watched Chen Shenglin leave, turned his head to Fang Yi and asked, "One painting is 140,000, almost twice as much?" Participating in an art exhibition has such an effect? ”。

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Where do I know the price set by the teacher!" I guess that's a reasonable price."

Looking at Fang Yi's appearance, Mu Jin said again: "You are really going to be famous!" Zheng Yuan is right, you will become a real artist! ”。

Fang Yi smiled and said, "If the artist is not an artist, don't mention it first!" I just like the feeling of painting, so free and freewheeling, no one comes to bind me, dogmatically tells me what is right and what is wrong! Everything is in my brain," Fang Yi reached out and tapped his brain.

"I know it!" Mu Jin looked at the smile on Fang Yi's face when he mentioned the painting, and said softly.

"When I come back from this exhibition, I will take you to the studio to have a look, my skills and thoughts have made great progress!" The more Fang Yi spoke, the happier he became, and he turned around and took Mu Jin's hand and said.

"Hmm!" Mu Jin nodded, looked at Fang Yi and said.

The two were talking here, of course, the main thing was that Fang Yi said, and Mu Jin listened.

Chen Shenglin, on the other hand, hung up a phone call to Liu Hongshuo and said that Fang Yi's painting had been ordered to be released.

Liu Hongshuo couldn't help frowning for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "You can't buy it, right?" If you buy it, forget it. I'll talk to Fang Yi when Fang Yi comes back! Now it's not time for him to make a name for himself."

"It's not us who bought it, it's Mr. An Xiaojun who bought the painting in the studio last time" Chen Shenglin quickly explained: "To be honest, we really thought about buying one after listening to this offer, but now we don't need to!" ”。

"Oh! Then I know what to do! Liu Hongshuo said a few words and hung up the phone. Then he sat down next to the telephone and thought about it.

Li Minghua walked in at this time and asked directly, "What are you frowning when you think about it?" ”。

"Xiao Yi's painting was sold for 200,000 yuan!" Liu Hongshuo raised his head and said.

Li Minghua smiled when he heard this: "It's a good thing that Xiaoyi's paintings are sold, why are you still depressed?" ”。

Liu Hongshuo looked at Li Minghua with a trace of bitterness on his face: "Of course I'm happy that the painting is sold at such a high price!" No one wants him to prove himself in the art world more than I do. It's just that now I'm more and more worried about Xiaoyi's character! ”。

"What's wrong with Xiaoyi's personality! What a child," Li Minghua was a little confused.

"You just didn't notice the change in him, and now you're more and more buried in the studio, and you don't hear anything outside the window!" Liu Hongshuo shook his head at his wife: "If you isolate yourself in a small space for a long time, your personality will be prone to problems and become arrogant and unsociable!" Now Xiao Yi has this tendency."

Li Minghua smiled and said, "Such a smart child, you can just order it!" ”。

"It's because I'm smart that I'm worried, sometimes smart is mistaken by smart" Liu Hongshuo thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's not mention this!" I'll think about it again! (To be continued......)
