Another evening, Fang Yi parked his car at the door of Charlotte's house, took his three paintings in his hand from the car, and entered the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Blotto, the second-class husky, came to Fang Yi's side, picking up Fang Yi's clothes and sticking out his tongue enthusiastically.

Putting down the painting in his hand, Fang Yi squatted down and rubbed Broto's brain, and happily played with the husky.

"Yi! Did you go to a few galleries today? The housekeeper Jason walked over, brought Fang Yi's painting to the side, put it on the table, and asked with a smile at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi stood up with a smile: "It's still like that, I've been running a few galleries in the past two days, and they have no interest!" ”。

Jason listened and said kindly to Fang Yi: "Yi! I think you should go for a smaller gallery, you know that the big galleries are always picky, and these people are sometimes difficult to deal with! ”。

"Thank you, Jason!" Fang Yi listened to this and expressed his gratitude to Jason who cared about him, now Fang Yi is running a big gallery, too small a gallery Fang Yi feels that it doesn't mean much, whether it is the strength of promotion or strength, Fang Yi is not optimistic about these small galleries that are not famous, not so much a gallery, but a small art dealer. It's just an inconspicuous little façade, do you have the strength to open a show for yourself in the future?

After playing with Blotto for a while, Fang Yi took his painting upstairs, and Blotto also followed Fang Yi's back and ran happily to play.

After dinner in the evening, Fang Yi returned to his room, picked up the pen and painted the works in the style of Printism on his canvas, saying that Printism is not complete now, but more expressionist, and the strong colors are barely mixed on the color board, and they are casually smeared on the canvas in front of him by Fang Yi. The trees on the canvas have become distorted, with a few strange leaves growing on the solid white stems, and the upper part of the painting is the same distorted sky sunlight, and a red humanoid body wriths almost in an S shape. This is Fang Yi's casual creation, with a little bit of loss in the happy colors of the picture.

When Fang Yi put down the brush, he felt that the time was almost up, opened his notebook, and began to talk to his friends in China, as well as his parents and teachers.

There's nothing too good to talk about with Qu Gu, it's just how everyone's life is. Or maybe there's something new in the circle of friends. Another point is to look at his two dogs, and now the two dogs are motionless on the edge of the table looking at Fang Yi on the computer screen.

"Wang Hongqi is now in love with Kath, and it seems that both of them are rushing to get married!" Wei Jin stretched out his head and pushed Qu Gu's head away, leaned in front of the camera, and said a big news.

"What?" Fang Yi was startled and asked, "Wang Hongqi and Kath?" It's unimaginable! ”。 I couldn't imagine killing Fang Yi. Wang Hongqi and Keth got together. If Kath and Lang Yanguang or even Lu Qikun got together, Fang Yi would not be very strange. However, Wang Hongqi, who usually looks honest, is together. Fang Yi was a little puzzled. One is lively and active, and the other is calm for a long time, and he may not spit out a word. Can such two people get together?

"You go aside!" Tao Yong stretched out his head and said to Fang Yi: "I also have a girlfriend" After speaking, he took out a photo and waved it at the camera: "How is it, is it beautiful?" ”。

"It's beautiful!" Fang Yi glanced at it and said.

Qu Gu's voice came at this time: "Lu Qikun and Lang Yanguang retired Mingzhu's house, and went to the painter's village to buy two adjacent studios, and now we have a salon once a week!" ”。

Fang Yi smiled and said, "That life is great enough!" ”。

"How's it going over there? Have you ever been fascinated by passionate Parisian girls? I said you should find a foreign girl! It's all Chinese girls marrying foreigners, and we Chinese girls are originally fewer than men! You now have the conditions to win glory for the country! Tao Yong looked at Fang Yi and said.

Fang Yi said with a smile: "I know three foreign women until now. One is my landlord, Ms. Charlotte, and the other is her granddaughter, who comes here now when she has nothing to do with school, and the other is Belonica! ”。

"Beronica is a new name! It won't be like your landlord again. Little little bar! Wei Jin opened his mouth to ask when he heard a new foreigner's name come out of Fang Yi's mouth.

"Nope! The age is about the same as ours, and it's not easy to guess the age of a foreign woman, let alone ask, anyway, I look so old! Fang Yi said.

Wei Jin asked, "How tall is it, is there one meter seven." It is also very important to find a foreign girl, this height! Don't go abroad and find a petite one! ”。

"I just met a friend, and the day after tomorrow I made an appointment to go to Montmartre to see the footprints of some masters! We've met twice in total," Fang Yi said with a smile.

Wei Jin listened and said, "I can follow you to Montmartre after seeing each other?" Looks like I'm going to Europe too! ”。

"Montmartre is in Paris!" Fang Yi shook his head and said, "You think you're out of France!" ”。

After following his friends for a while, Fang Yi connected to the teacher's side.

There wasn't so much joy in chatting with the teacher, so I reported to the teacher about this time, and then said: "I've been running more than a dozen galleries in a row, and none of them are interested in me!" ”。

"How do you think of selling paintings?" Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi and asked, "Hundreds of thousands of euros are used up so quickly?" ”。

Fang Yi listened and said: "No, now I don't even need 50,000 euros, the big thing is to buy a car!" Now that I've come to Europe, I'm thinking about making a name for myself, and it wouldn't be good if I didn't sit on this empty mountain! ”。

Liu Hongshuo said: "You are a nobody in Europe, and my fame can't cover Europe, if you want to make a reputation, you have to be down-to-earth!" You can't be like this at home, don't be too ambitious when you go to Europe! ”。

"I don't have to be ambitious," Fang Yi said to the teacher: "I thought in my heart that it would be almost a thousand euros!" ”。

Liu Hongshuo on the other end of the video listened to his disciple's words, and then looked at his disciple and said earnestly: "Isn't this so ambitious? A person who is not famous at all, and when his work arrives in the gallery, he immediately wants to buy it for 1,000 euros? Do you think that the money of Europeans is blown by the wind! Listening to you say 600 euros, I'm quite satisfied here! ”。

"Teacher! 600 euros, I got it, that's more than 300 euros! Then after calculating the cost of pigment varnish, linen and so on, I don't even have enough money for food! After listening to the teacher's words, Fang Yi smiled bitterly and opened his mouth to say.

Hearing this, Liu Hongshuo opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of paint do you use?" Tell me everything you're using right now! ”。

"The paint I used was old Dutch, Rembrandt was bought by the little devil, I didn't use it anymore, the canvas is rain and dew, and all kinds of oils and things are also good," Fang Yi opened his mouth and said.

Liu Hongshuo listened to Fang Yi's words, and shook his head with a smile: "You are already at the master level in terms of materials!" Top old Dutch paints! How many lesser-known artists paint like yours? But you said that Rembrandt was acquired by a Japanese company, so you don't need it, so why not choose France's Shennellier or Germany's Monis, which are more suitable for the price? ”。

"It's not as easy as the old Dutch!" Fang Yi said: "Bijing is hand-grinded! More suitable for my classicist style! ”。

"And what do you want the gallery to reflect?" Liu Hongshuo no longer bothered about the materials of his disciples, and directly asked Fang Yi some requirements for the gallery.

Fang Yi thought for a moment and opened his mouth and said, "I originally thought that the price would be a little higher, if it was low, it would be better to sign a contract with me!" That's how I can trust them to push my paintings! If I hadn't just hung my painting in the corner, wouldn't I be finished? ”。

"You don't have to think about the cost first, if someone asks you to try it for a few hundred euros, you should leave the painting to someone else! After all, people must open a gallery, not a welfare organization" Liu Hongshuo could only say this to his disciple, his precious student has been in Europe for such a long time, and he doesn't know anything about the operation of European galleries.

"Bigger galleries, since they let you keep the paintings, then they will push very hard, and if your paintings perform well when pushing, they will consider signing you as the gallery's contracted artist! Then you can leave your paintings to them with complete confidence. The European side attaches great importance to the spirit of contract, and they are much more demanding than domestic galleries in signing artists! Once signed, they don't need you to urge them, and they usually take care of your reputation. You can't think that you don't have any fame, and people will sign you if they see that your painting is good? It's not acting in a movie, it's unlikely! The bid of more than 600 euros has shown that people are very willing to give it a try! Liu Hongshuo said patiently to his disciples: "You missed an opportunity!" ”。

Then he paused and continued to say to Fang Yi: "Didn't you say that you want to go to Montmartre to have a look?" There are a lot of artists out there, some of them are very good, and you can see how much they cost when you go! Don't hang in mid-air all day. You have to know that you have arrived in Europe, a place where your thinking and aesthetics are different from those in China! If you want to make a name for yourself there, don't think about how much your paintings will sell for, but how to get a gallery to sign them! Then work with the gallery to promote your work as much as possible, don't just focus on how much your work can sell at the beginning! ”。

Listening to what the teacher said, Fang Yi also understood a little, just like the teacher said, this is Europe, and he is no longer a disciple of Liu Hongshuo, a master of oil painting. Now I am not much different from the common roadside artists in Paris, they are all unknown nobodies! If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to keep working hard. (To be continued......)
