Chapter 544: Fighting for Breath
Hearing Fang Yi's question, Jackson thought for a while and said, "I can't answer you immediately, why don't you wait for the owner of this painting to come tomorrow and ask?" ”。
Because Fang Yi's contract didn't have this item to clean up, of course, Fang Yi didn't want to do this before, but now he wants to do it and there is no contract, you said that this thing was done.
Jackson's statement is also reasonable, if you are sure that it is the real work of Leonardo da Vinci, you can't mess around, this painting knife may be hundreds of thousands of dollars gone, who can bear this responsibility?
Since this is the case, Fang Yi felt that it was not a problem for a group of people to stay here and stare at each other, and it was even more useless to go back to the hotel, so he simply ran to the unexhibited place in the Metropolis's collection, and looked at some Chinese paintings and some cultural relics in the museum.
stayed in the metropolis until people got off work, and then Fang Yi returned to the hotel. When he returned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art again the next morning, as soon as he opened the door of the appraisal room, Fang Yi saw that there was an elderly man in a suit and leather shoes in the room today.
"Mr. Fang, this is Mr. Simon, that is, the owner of this work" Jackson saw Fang Yi walk in, and immediately introduced the old man in a suit and leather shoes to Fang Yi.
"Hello, hello!"
"Long up, long back!" I don't know if it's true or not, Fang Yi doesn't know what Jiu admires people here, anyway, he knows that this Simon is the owner of a gallery, and he is also an expert in the study of ancient paintings, as for Fang Yi, he really didn't know this person before. To be honest, I haven't heard of it.
Listening to the cold noise of the two of them without much nutrition, Jackson introduced: "Simon is also an appraiser of ancient paintings, and asked to clean up the things on it with us. I'm so happy to hear that you're going to join ...... too."
As soon as Jackson finished speaking, Simon, the old man, smiled at Fang Yi and nodded: "It's my honor to be able to work with Mr. Fang!" ”
Fang Yi understood as soon as he heard it, these people were ready to go up, and he didn't know if he could put so many heads in front of such a big painting.
"So what are you waiting for? Let's start quickly" Fang Yi didn't seem to reject his own mention when he heard it, so don't talk too much nonsense, let's do it directly! As he spoke, he was ready to roll up his sleeves, and then began to ask Jackson, "Where can I change my work clothes?" ”。
"You don't have to change it yet. Let's talk about how to do it! Jackson said with a smile at Fang Yi.
"Ahh Fang Yi couldn't help but pause in his heart, originally Fang Yi thought that this was a scene, that is to say, he just had to open so many heads and watch from the side.
Who is interested in discussing what clean-up plan! Now I hear Jackson mean that he still has some plan to deal with them. As soon as this thing is pulled up, it really has to be counted on the month. Fang Yizhen didn't have much interest in staying here for a month or two, and he received a total of 100,000 US dollars from others, staying for two months? And maybe it will take longer, do you have this friendship with these people!
Fang Yi opened his mouth directly and said: "I clean up the paintings and go directly to start work." This was true in Versailles. It's the same in Italy! ”。
Fang Yi said that he cleaned up and restored two paintings last year, one is Annie Bale? The work of Karachi, and the other is François? Gérard's works, Fang Yi took a total of two months from cleaning to restoration, and it took a lot of time to dry.
Jackson couldn't help but glance at Simon.
After Simon and Gexon glanced at each other, they said to Fang Yi: "I'm sorry, I can't allow you to treat this work so hastily, I hope you can follow the steps of the ancient painting after joining the group." Because this one isn't Anibale? Karachi is not François either? Gérard's work, he is a true work of Leonardo da Vinci! ”。
Simon's words are tough. In Simon's opinion, how could he let Fang Yi get started directly, this is Leonardo da Vinci! Although you Fang Yi are famous, who should I go to if you break him? Let you compensate, how can you compensate for this thing!
Simon was very polite to Fang Yi, but in terms of some factors, Fang Yi's impression was not very good, although he didn't express it on his lips, he thought so in his heart: Fang Yi is just like that, fifty percent of his ability is blown out by others.
And in a sense, Simon is a gallerist, and there will always be some artists such as spectrum and symbolism, and now these people are not mixed up, and their works have not been able to be sold for others, so naturally they will not be able to sell for a price, and of course there will be losses. It's just that Simon doesn't sign much and is not very famous, so the impact is very small, and the impact on income is also very small, if it weren't for the fact that between him and Fang Yi, it can be said that he is an enemy, and he is very red-eyed.
The main contradiction between the two is the so-called peer lightness, which is roughly like this! As for the politeness in front, there is an idiom called duplicity, which expresses this meaning very well.
Originally, I just thought so in my heart.,When I encountered this thing, I naturally expressed it.,The tone of this statement is a little unkind.,There's a hard tone in the tone.,That seems to mean that if you join in, follow the professional steps.,If you don't join, please leave.。
Fang Yi heard this, then looked at Simon and nodded, "Then follow the contract!" ”。
Hearing what people said, Fang Yi was not interested in continuing to ask to help people clean up any paintings, to be honest, Fang Yi's heart was a little annoyed now, in short, this tone made Fang Yi very unhappy in his heart. Master Fang was also a little cautious at this time!
smiled at Simon and nodded, then gestured to Jackson: "Then I'll go back to Los Angeles first, and I'll come back to take a look after you clean up the painting!" ”。 After saying this, Fang Yi turned around and walked out the door.
As soon as Jackson saw Fang Yi turn around and was about to leave, he couldn't help but follow Fang Yi to the corridor, and then said to Fang Yi: "Mr. Fang, then we will notify you after we clean it up?" ”。
Now Fang Yi is still interested in helping others repair paintings, when it comes to this matter, how can Fang Yi care about Leonardo da Vinci's works?
"You prepare me a standard-sized plank. Then they sent it to me, and they gave me some antique paint, and I painted it in Los Angeles. Okay, you can see what you do later! After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yi said directly.
Jackson nodded when he heard Fang Yi's face, and thought to himself: This is the only way to do it! This person was not forced by himself or the Metropolitan Museum, and theoretically speaking, Simon was looking for a museum at the beginning, and Fang Yi was invited by the museum.
And at this time, Simon also had a smile on his face. But in my heart, I didn't take this thing seriously at all. Because as soon as the news spread, some critics who knew him commented that the discovery of this work was one of the most significant events in the history of painting in the past 100 years. It's your honor to be involved!
As for Fang Yi's non-participation, Simon thinks it's very good, because the time when Fang Yi is going to be used has already passed, that is to say, in Simon's opinion. Fang Yi only needs to admit that this is Leonardo da Vinci's work.
Fang Yi returned to the hotel. The next day, I went out with Li Yuncong's father and daughter for a whole day, and when I got what I wanted, I turned around and returned to Los Angeles.
Wang Hanmo watched Fang Yi concentrate on adjusting the paint, and some of the paints he took back from the museum were at the mercy of Fang Yi, and immediately seemed to be different in his eyes.
"Teacher, do you really want to draw a new one?" Wang Hanmo looked at Fang Yi's churning hands and couldn't help asking.
"Hmmm! Sometimes it's easier to draw it yourself than to fix it on it! Fang Yi looked at the paint in his hand and said, Da Vinci used to use Tanyula, and Fang Yi also used the concoction in his hand. It's just that some volatile modern solvents are added to ensure that the drying speed is appropriate.
Fang Yi felt that he was embarrassed. This face is lost, and it is natural to get it back! Now Fang Yi just wants to get this matter back. Of course, if the things he painted fell into Simon's hands, Fang Yi would never be stupid enough to paint one by himself and give Simon's old thing.
Now, I have an agreement with the Met, not with Simon, and it would be strange if the things I drew could reach Simon's hands! As long as it is something drawn by himself, there is a chance that the metropolis will not hand it over to Simon, which Fang Yi is very sure of.
In order to save face, Fang Yi wanted to be careful about this Tempera work, not only from improving the pigment, but also putting a lot of effort into the polishing of the wooden board.
This thing was not done by Fang Yi himself, but the apprentice Wang Hanmo did the actual operation, Fang Yi just moved his lips and said no, no! Or polish it a little more flat. It wasn't until this kid had done it thirty-seven times that Fang Yi nodded, indicating that this kid was okay.
Fang Yi finally concocted the paint on the palette and prepared to paint on the wooden board on the easel, and said to Wang Hanmo who was standing next to him: "Hanmo, now you are going to see Leonardo da Vinci, the great master, create a masterpiece in front of you, pay attention!" ”。
After speaking, Fang Yi entered the mode of Leonardo da Vinci, and then he retreated to the side in his spirit, and now it was Da Vinci in Fang Yi's mind who was controlling Fang Yi's body, and Fang Yi's own consciousness became a bystander.
Wang Hanmo looked a little stupid, because now in his opinion, the teacher is not like his 'teacher', some habits and actions make Wang Hanmo feel unfamiliar, but it is obvious that Wang Hanmo thinks that his consciousness is hallucinating, because the teacher in front of him is obviously his own teacher.
Fang Yi spent three months sporadically before and after to complete Leonardo da Vinci's work, and guaranteed five hours a day to use this work, and finally this work was completed when the Metropolis was halfway through the repair.
Fang Yi looked at this piece of his own, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Fang, that's pretty good!" The receiver sent by the Metropolitan Museum looked at the thing in front of him and said happily to Fang Yi.
"Take it away!" Fang Yi put a piece of cloth on top of this work, and then waved his hand at the staff member, signaling them to take this work away, Fang Yi was afraid that he would look at it again, so he was reluctant to let this work go.
Because Fang Yi knew when he finished painting that if this work was the real work of Leonardo da Vinci, it would definitely be his pinnacle work, even the "Mona Lisa" would be inferior.
When the staff heard this, they immediately said to the two people behind them: "Take out the picture frame and picture bag you brought!" After speaking, he watched a person take out a leather painting bag, immediately reached out and took it, carefully took the wooden board off Fang Yi's easel, and then put it on the table to install the picture frame, and finally put up the corners to prevent the soft cloth from touching the top layer that had not yet dried, and then put it into the leather bag.
"Mr. Fang, then let's take our leave!" The staff asked Fang Yi, looked at Fang Yi and nodded, and then took the two people who came to pick up the painting with him out of the studio.
Fang Yi listened to the soft knock of the studio door, and then walked to the window, watched the three people get into the car, and then disappeared from Fang Yi's sight.
"Why do you think I'm doing this? Han Mo "Fang Yi looked at the car that he couldn't see, and said to his students without a clue.
Wang Hanmo's answer made Fang Yi unexpected: "Teacher! So that you look real, you will be unhappy, you will be annoyed ......".
"Alright, alright!" Fang Yi immediately laughed when he heard this, and his mood suddenly improved again: "That's right, it's better to endure it than to be angry!" ”。
Wang Hanmo couldn't help but laugh with the teacher when he heard it.
Is this how the master is? You can give up hundreds of millions of dollars because of a thought, or you can favor others because you want to vent your evil anger because of a trivial matter! Wang Hanmo thought as he looked at the smile on his teacher's face. (To be continued......)
