Chapter 170: Teacher's Arrangement
Fang Yi stood at the door of his living room, with a round head and a flat head lying at his feet. The two dogs are almost five months old, and now the ten knots are in early October. This light rain is a little cool, an autumn rain and a cold, especially in Shicheng, the autumn rain marks the coming of a few months of winter. The light rain in the yard knocked on the bricks in the courtyard, and the bricks could not absorb the excess rainwater between the bricks, and the water poured from the drainage channel of the roof on the wall merged with the rainwater in the courtyard to form several small whirlpools in the holes of the sewer, and the clear rainwater rushed into it.
Raising his head to look at the cloudy sky, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh. It's like a very inaccurate weather forecast, this time it's very accurate, the rain has been pouring down for two whole days, look at the sky like this, tomorrow may not be the same weather.
Ding-ding-dong...... A ringtone came out of Fang Yi's pocket, Fang Yi took out his mobile phone and saw that it was his teacher's home phone, and now his home is not referring to stone art, but to the teacher's studio! The No. 2 courtyard, which was only four or five hundred meters away from Fang Yi.
"Fang Yi! How's that portrait of mine?" Fang Yi just answered the phone, and before he could speak, Liu Hongshuo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fang Yi smiled and said to the other end of the phone: "It will be completed in a few days!" I'll send it to you when the time comes."
"Hmmm! Is there anything on hand now? If not, come to the house, just at noon, I will go to the house for dinner, and bring the round head and the flat head with you," Liu Hongshuo asked.
"Then I'll go right over!" After Fang Yi finished speaking, he heard the teacher say yes and hung up the phone.
Fang Yi, who had been in a light rain for a few days, was in a little bad mood, and he only started painting for more than two hours today, and he felt a little bored. Now there is only one person in the whole studio, and Qu Gu and they are taking a stone art class.
After returning to the house and getting an umbrella, Fang Yi said to the round head and the flat head: "Go!" The two dogs followed Fang Yi out of the door. As soon as they got out of the yard, the two dogs began to run happily back and forth. The old man who sold dogs did not talk nonsense. The two dogs are not small. It is now that these two dogs have completely seen the skeleton now, they have almost grown to the crook of Fang Yi's legs for almost five months, and they always eat meat with Fang Yi, and they are also very strong, in the words of his wife Li Minghua, they look like two calves.
When he arrived at the door of the courtyard of the teacher's house, Fang Yi gently pushed the small door on the gate, and opened it with a gentle push without locking it.
"Master!" When Fang Yi entered the courtyard, he greeted Li Minghua who was standing on the porch.
Li Minghua said with a smile: "Fang Yi is here!" Hurry up and get inside, your teacher is waiting for you in the study! ”。
"Whoa!" Fang Yi walked to the corridor, put away the umbrella and put it on the wall, and when he stood up, he saw that his kitten was lazily lying on the chair in the teacher's living room, and he was not a little excited to see Fang Yi, the owner, coming over. Yawned, rested his head on both front paws, and began to squint and doze off.
This is the reason why Fang Yi doesn't like cats very much, as long as other people's homes have delicious food, they will immediately change the door. Now stationed at the teacher's house for a long time, mainly because Li Minghua can make fish, while Fang Yi only has meat there and rarely eats fish. Round heads and flat heads are different. Li Minghua didn't want to leave one in his yard to guard the door, but every time Fang Yiyi left, the two dogs followed. Even if it's locked up in the hospital. Li Minghua put a meat pot next to him. Both round heads and flat heads would open the door, whining and screaming, without looking at the meat pot at all, until the gate opened, and immediately ran madly in the direction of their own yard.
"Be honest, don't run around with water all over your body!" Fang Yi said to the round head and the flat head and walked towards the teacher's studio.
Liu Hongshuo's studio is similar to Fang Yi's. However, the decoration of Fang Yi can pay attention to too much, the house is full of expensive solid wood furniture, the whole is the ancient Chinese style, what official hat chairs. There are quite a few Luohan beds, and most of the bedrooms on the second floor are carpeted. Even the studio has a solid wood floor, and there are Chinese-style screens around the corners, and the Chinese paintings hanging around the walls of the studio are famous artists, and the inscriptions on them are all gifts for old friends and the like. Fang Yi was taken aback when he first came, he didn't realize that his teacher actually had such seven or eight friends.
Turning around and changing his shoes into the living room, Fang Yi walked down the grand staircase in the living room to the door of the teacher's study on the second floor, and knocked on the door: "Teacher!" It's me! ”。
"Come in!" Watching Fang Yi push the door and walk in, Liu Hongshuo put down the book in his hand, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and put them on the small round table next to the rocking chair, and pointed to another rocking chair next to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi sat on the chair and as soon as his legs were forced, the master and apprentice shook each other.
"Teacher! This rocking chair is really good, I'll let someone make one in the study tomorrow," Fang Yi patted the armrest of the rocking chair and said to his teacher with his head sideways.
"If you want to do it, make one, this thing sits on it and gently shakes it like this, holding a book in your hand, it's very comfortable," Liu Hongshuo said with a smile. After finishing speaking, he changed the topic and asked, "Is there anything at the end of the month?" ”。
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said: "There is nothing to do at the end of the month, but a few friends have made an appointment to open a small art exhibition together next month, which may take a month."
"Follow Lu Qikun?" Liu Hongshuo glanced at his disciple, then asked with half-closed eyes, "You just want to be famous like that?" What's the matter, you think your paintings are cheaper than what others sell, and you want to make a name for yourself and increase your price? ”。
Fang Yi smiled and said, "I don't have that idea!" I'm actually quite good now, more than 100,000 a year is enough to live. Lu Qikun invited them, and the exhibits were all post-impressionist style things that I painted when I had time, not for anything else, but for fun! ”。
"You! You! Liu Hongshuo smiled and stretched out his hand to tap his disciple: "How can this artist not want to be famous!" ”。
"I want to be famous! But I'm also scared! This exhibition is going to be tossed for a month all of a sudden, and I think about facing a group of people, and then talk about this and that, in case I meet a two-hundred-five-one and be in a bad mood all day! To be honest, as soon as I heard that it would be almost a month, and then the whole country was running like this, I regretted it a little," Fang Yi sighed and said to the teacher.
Liu Hongshuo glanced at the student next to him, and then asked, "Since it is a group exhibition of several people, has the self-introduction been written?" ”。
"Written! I asked Lu Qikun to send me a copy of his, and I changed it accordingly. Fang Yi, male, Han nationality. The following date of birth, and then I am studying stone art," Fang Yi said.
Liu Hongshuo listened: "Why didn't I be mentioned in the introduction?" After speaking, he turned his head and straightened up to look at Fang Yi.
Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "No one mentioned any teachers, so I'm embarrassed to mention it!" If you have any comments, I'll write your name when I get back. When the time comes, add a sentence directly to the introduction: I studied under the master of Chinese oil painting, and then your name followed, maybe the exhibition is over, and my eight paintings will be fully ordered! One is 150,000! As your student, it's a shame to sell too little, and when I come back, I'll replace my broken Poussin and drive it in a Land Rover! ”。
"Hahaha!" Liu Hongshuo immediately laughed when he heard this, shook his chair and said, "Forget it!" Write as much as you want! Even if no one else introduced the teacher, you don't need to mention me! ”。 After saying this, he lay down again, and said to Fang Yi: "This month, you go to the capital, your Uncle Xu comes over for a birthday, bring one of my paintings, and then bring the portrait you painted for me with you, please comment and guide me!" You'll be on a plane on the 24th! ”。
"Oh! I know," Fang Yi turned his head to the teacher and asked, "Then should I bring a gift too!" I'm not going to be able to do it with my empty hands, right? ”。
"You don't have to prepare anything, I'll ask your wife to prepare it for you when the time comes! You don't know what this old man likes! How weird and weird is that character, and when I get old, I still want to steal my brother's position! Nothing big or small! Liu Hongshuo thought for a while and said, "You are mainly going to see your uncle, hey!" He's a few years older than me, go and see his spirit, maybe he'll be back one day! ”。
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly on his face, his teacher obviously had a little embarrassment on his face, but how awkward it sounded as soon as he said this. Keep in mind the words of Senior Brother Yan Daqi, don't get involved in the affairs of the two old men, and let the two senior brothers make trouble.
"Hmmm! I know," Fang Yi nodded and said.
Liu Hongshuo babbled for a minute or two, and then asked Fang Yi, "Do you want to switch from classicism to post-impressionism?" After speaking, he thought for a while and said: "You can also turn, in fact, the few paintings I see are very good, the colors are very bright, and the techniques are also very sophisticated." Anyone who understands can see that your technique has reached a certain level."
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said to the teacher: "I haven't thought much about how to change the style, but my classicism has reached a hurdle, and now I always feel that the technique seems to be standing still!" ”。
Liu Hongshuo said: "In a few days, the Italian official will hold a famous painting exhibition in the pearl, when the time comes, you can go and see the master's true works!" ”。
"I know about this, and I'm about to go with my roommates! I'll be ready to go in two days! Would you like to come with us? Fang Yi heard this and hurriedly said.
This is an exhibition held by several major museums in Italy, it can be said that the opportunity is very rare, not only the sketches of Leonardo da Vinci, who are well-known in China, but also several masterpieces of Titian, plus Tintoretto, etc., it can be said that there are stars of ancient musicalism, how could Fang Yi not go to see it, even if it is a ticket price of fifty yuan, the dormitory still sent a family to buy tickets in Mingzhu's Qu, Fang Yi is ready to go to Mingzhu to stay from the beginning to the end, and the tickets for the week's exhibition time are all purchased.
"I'm not going! During this time, I have no interest in running around, and I am not interested in these paintings that are strictly guarded in China," Liu Hongshuo waved his hand and said. (To be continued......)
