At noon, Wang Hongqi and his wife had a meal at Fang Yi's house, and after eating, Wang Hongqi helped Fang Yi wash the dishes before leaving home with the boy. Fang Yi naturally entered the studio again and began to tinker with his own paintings.

After waiting for a week, news came from Jinpeng Gallery that the Triple Statue of the Virgin and Child and the Christ Statue were determined to be painted by Fang Yi, and the income from the triptych painting was almost 400,000 yuan in Fang Yi's hands.

The call was made by Chen Shenglin, and he made an appointment with Fang Yi to take time out of his time to go to Suzhou with him in the past few days. And Fang Yi directly set the time to tomorrow, such a large oil painting on wood made Fang Yi very interested, not to mention such a rare classical theme.

Putting down the phone, Fang Yi couldn't help but snap his fingers, and then shook his hand. This action was seen by Zheng Yuan, who was going downstairs, and asked Fang Yi with a smile, "What is so happy?" ”。

"The large oil painting on the wood is confirmed, let me paint it," Fang Yi said as he looked at Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan heard it: "I haven't heard you say this news!" ”。

Fang Yi said with a smile: "I haven't decided it before, so I haven't mentioned it to you, but now you are the first one among your friends to know the Tao!" ”。 After speaking, he turned around and poured himself a glass of water, looked at Zheng Yuan in his hand and asked, "This is preparing to talk to Amanda again?" ”。

Zheng Yuan walked down the stairs and nodded: "Hmm! But I couldn't understand what I said in English, Amanda and Kath didn't understand it! ”。

With a snort, Fang Yi almost choked himself, and then laughed out loud.

"Is it that funny?" Zheng Yuan looked at Fang Yi and asked.

"It's quite interesting," Fang Yi said after laughing. Zheng Yuan, a Briton and an American, who spoke in English, couldn't understand it very well, which was very interesting.

But after laughing, Fang Yi opened his mouth to encourage and said: "It's good to practice more, your vocabulary is still good, just pay attention to pronunciation and grammar!" ”。

Zheng Yuan said: "I think the same way, Amanda will go to the capital in two days to have activities, and the next week is a little more. I'll just keep talking to you! ”。

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed," Fang Yi smiled and said: "I may be very busy in the next few months, such a large wood oil painting, and it is custom-made, it will not allow me to have so much effort to grind slowly, and I can't say exactly the time!" But it's definitely a little more important than drawing it yourself! ”。

"Then I'll listen to the tape," Zheng Yuan said and walked out the door.

Fang Yi looked at Zheng Yuan and asked, "Doesn't Amanda know a lot of international students?" You can ask them to introduce you to two or three friends and continue the conversation! ”。

Zheng Yuan turned around and said, "Forget it!" They smell of perfume on them, and I don't really like the smell of their friends! And all of them are men, and the hairs on their arms are almost more than the hair on the round heads and flat heads! ”。

"The current fashion is so fluffy, haven't you watched so many domestic girls come together in front of others, I can't wait to tie up a foreign devil to my house immediately, do it that night, and fly abroad early tomorrow morning!" Fang Yi said jokingly. Now Fang Yi knows about Zheng Yuan's small problems. It's just a joke between friends.

Zheng Yuan turned his head and said, "I went abroad to study by myself, why did I find a foreign devil to help me?" It's you! It's time to marry a foreign girl and have a long face, and Kath has a good impression of you, how about it? Shoot, Master Fang! ”。

"Forget it. I can't stand her lifestyle! I heard that it is understandable that you can make money and run fast, and I heard that there is a ladder anywhere! Run as fast as a rabbit! I can't stand her partymaniac! Fang Yi said with a smile.

It's nice for Kath to be friends. Enthusiastic, generous, lively and cheerful girls are liked by everyone. But Amanda is more reliable than her as a lover. People who are interested in dancing and dancing can lift their shirts, and this thing is unbearable.

The two of them talked a few words, and then turned their heads and went about their own business.

The next morning, Fang Yi waited for Chen Shenglin to come over at home, and then in the afternoon, the two drove Chen Shenglin's Mercedes-Benz towards Suzhou. It had been driving for almost four hours, and by five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did I arrive in Suzhou, and set the downstairs of the boss's company.

The façade of the company is a bit small, the four-story Western-style building is built with a bit of the flavor of the American Little White House, and the ancient Greek Koslin column style can be seen everywhere. People who don't understand look at the high-end atmosphere and grade, but in Fang Yi's eyes, some places are baroque, some are Gothic, and I don't know which two hundred and five designers came up with such a thing, just like the fish in the star movie, which spelled out such a thing in the east and west.

"When you go in, don't say anything, just smile. I'll take care of the rest! Chen Shenglin said.

Fang Yi nodded after hearing this, followed Chen Shenglin in, and went to the front desk to talk to the little girl. The little girl at the front desk said to the two of them in Mandarin with a thick Suzhou accent, Mr. Sun is waiting for you upstairs.

Following Chen Shenglin into the elevator, Fang Yi couldn't help it, and asked, "Which architect designed the inside and outside of this building!" ”。

Chen Shenglin smiled when he heard it and said: "It is said that it was designed by the architect, but it is better to say that it is the design we are going to see!" How could an architect design this thing? He watched other people's drafts change a little here and there, add a pillar out of nothing, and add a window to it! ”。

Hearing this, Fang Yi couldn't help frowning and said, "He won't criticize my paintings, if that's the case, let's go back, I won't paint!" ”。 、

"It's okay!" Chen Shenglin said: "I have said it before! I've asked him for everything! ”。

After speaking, he whispered a few words to Fang Yi. Only then did Yi understand that this Boss Sun originally wanted to invite some domestic wrists to paint this triptych, but the price offered, Liu Hongshuo directly offered 5 million, and the capital's teacher Xu Shize gave 5.8 million, and even more ruthlessly, directly gave a price of 8 million, and when he heard this price, he was a little unhappy.

To tell the truth, the price given by Liu Hongshuo is a little expensive, but these three or four meters square, according to the price of these people's market paintings, it will cost four million, plus customization, and these famous people are all a lot older, such a super-large thing will also consume a lot of energy, and it is not worth the hands of people at this level without this price. Isn't one or two million paintings for you to lower the market price of your works and make yourself uncomfortable!

In this way, the little boss in Suzhou touched his nose with ashes, and then he chose to let Fang Yi paint.

Chen Shenglin took Fang Yi and pushed the door and walked in, and Fang Yi found that this office was really round, and there was a big fat man sitting behind a huge boss's desk.

"Brother Chen!" The fat man saw Chen Shenglin coming, as if he had gone around in a big circle before he walked out of the boss's table and shook hands with Chen Shenglin.

"This is Mr. Liu Hongshuo's disciple, Fang Yi!" Chen Shenglin said a cold word and introduced Fang Yi to this person.

"Hello! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! "This Mr. Sun made it as if he had really heard Fang Yi's name before.

Fang Yi shook the fat man a few times and said, "Hello! Hello! Then he closed his mouth according to Chen Shenglin's request, and sat on the sofa of the guest honestly and listened without humility or arrogance.

This Mr. Sun's name is called Sun Chengfu, so at a glance, he is really as good as his name, so he became rich all of a sudden!

The fat man's energy is very good, and he can speak very well, constantly talking to Chen Shenglin and Fang Yi about some plans and ideas for his church, and then talking about what profitability is, how much income can be brought by renting it out to the newlyweds for a day of marriage, and so on. Then he said to the two of them what kind of marriage fashion or something, and the whole church became a tool for collecting money in the fat man's mouth.

The three of them talked for an hour, fifty minutes of which was to listen to the fat man talk about his blueprint, and then Sun Chengfu took the two to the hotel for dinner, and then naturally sang or something, and tossed until eight or nine o'clock.

Although Sun Chengfu was a little rustic, and he couldn't talk about any artistic accomplishment, this person was still quite hospitable in Fang Yi's opinion, and he let go of his slightly repulsive heart.

The next morning, Chen Shenglin and Fang Yi visited the church under the guidance of Sun Chengfu's office.

Fang Yi didn't think that Sun Chengfu made his office a good one, this church was pure Baroque style, very gorgeous, and complex patterns and carvings could be seen everywhere. When you enter, you will find that the walls and columns are snow-white, but the capitals and arches are covered with golden decorations, and the dome is painted with European myths. The whole church is very magnificent! I don't know how to put it into words.

And now at this time, the sunlight outside penetrates the round or square windows of the church, illuminating the whole church very brightly, and the beams of sunlight that shine in invisibly increase the sense of sacredness in the church, which makes people's hearts clear.

Fang Yi said to the director of the office that he wanted to take a look alone, and he might come over to see the situation at the scene by himself in the future, and the person who arranged for Fang Yi to meet with the church in Guanli met and then left.

Sitting in the church, Fang Yi changed his seat from time to time, observing the position of his future paintings from different angles, and then thinking about how to arrange this triptych from the perspective of the whole.

After sitting in the church and watching for more than four hours, Fang Yi and Chen Shenglin went to say goodbye to Sun Chengfu, and then returned to Shicheng to start making preliminary preparations.

The preparation this time is not as simple as washing the pen and squeezing some paint, it is more complicated than the last time I painted the whole family portrait, because the painting is a painting placed on the altar of the church, you can't paint a Chinese face, what is it, and the clothing and accessories must be considered throughout, naturally there is no need to consider what posture and action and the like!
