Chapter 253: Push the Door Open
Back in the barn, Fang Yi picked up the wine bottle again and lay down on the sand chief, took a sip and said, "It's coming soon!" I was already getting dressed when I saw it! ”。
The other four didn't say anything when they heard it, they all nodded, anyway, several people were used to this matter. When Zhai Lude arrived at the barn and sat down for a while, within five minutes, he heard the sound of a car outside the door, Fang Yi and the others looked up at the window, and saw a taxi stopped, and naturally knew that it was Zou Heming coming, and they all stood up from the sofa.
"Hey! My friends! Zou Heming got out of the car, paid for the car, dragged his small gift box and opened his hand to the five people standing at the door, and strode over.
Zou Heming was quite enthusiastic about the young people who signed a contract with the gallery, and after a big hug one by one, everyone went into the room and sat down on the sofa again.
Zou Heming took out his briefcase from the gift box he brought, and then pulled out a few pieces of paper from it: "Kahima, this is yours!" Glancing at the top paper, Zou Heming reached out and handed it to Kahima.
"It's yours, Artur!" The second one was handed to Artur.
The whole paper was divided, and the last one was Fang Yi's, and Fang Yi knew that this thing was a check before he took it. When I received it, I saw that it read 120,000 US dollars, and I couldn't help but smile.
"Oh! Seventy thousand dollars! Anders took the check and reached out and flicked it lightly.
Fang Yi folded his check and put it in his pocket, then grabbed the wine bottle and took a sip. I paid attention to the faces of my friends.
Very happy! Everyone was happy, including the normally serious Kahima, who had a smile on his face.
"To be honest, I haven't seen $80,000 of my own at once since I was a kid!" Kehima looked at the check in his hand and said with emotion, "Thank you." Lawrence! ”。
Zou Heming seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of several people, and opened his mouth to say: "This is what you deserve, and I have even greater good news to tell you!" After speaking, he took out a magazine from his gift box and handed one to everyone: "Let's keep it as a souvenir!" ”。
Fang Yi took the magazine and looked at it, the cover said "artinAmerica" and opened the cover, and the content of the first section was the works of Fang Yi and several people, each of whom lined up one by one.
Look at the comments in the back. Fang Yi was even happier in his heart. The title is: Linearism! Then the editor-in-chief of American Art introduced some of the works of Fang Yi and the five in some short language, and praised the works of the five young artists in language, saying that they were a breakthrough or unique in color expression. Also in the article. The editor-in-chief defined Fang Yi's five styles, and linearism was proposed for the first time. Of course, there are also a little criticisms of the style of the five, or some small opinions, which are irrelevant. The most important thing is this art magazine's approval of Fang Yi's five-person style.
"We're going to be famous. Lawrence? Artur put down the magazine in his hand and asked Zou Heming with a smile on his face.
"Man! Not so fast, but we're on the right path! Zou Heming looked at Artur and said happily: "We still have a lot of things to do, and the focus of my entire gallery will be on you!" It's not just this magazine."
Zou Heming pointed to the books in his five hands and continued: "American Artists also shows appreciation for your works! There are others, but they are not so large, only such a small piece." After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and his thumb and index finger opened a little.
Hehehe, Fang Yi and the five of them all laughed when they watched Zou Heming's movements.
"Alright guys, I could have brought you a little more numbers. However, some works have to be kept in the gallery for promotion, so the money is said. You have to save a little money, at least to make sure you can survive for half a year! Because we're going to have exhibitions in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles soon! ”。
With a snap, Zou Heming snapped his fingers and looked at the five people sitting on the sofa: "Guys! Linearism's first nationwide touring exhibition! Pioneers! Masters of linearism, the next thing you need to do is to paint with peace of mind, and each of you must have at least 10 works of guaranteed quality for your first national art exhibition! And I can assure you that in this exhibition, your works will be sold more than the number you have in your hands! Linearism, it sounds exciting! ”。
Rude, who has always been dissolute, put down the magazine in his hand, looked at the check on the coffee table, and said leisurely: "I can live for four years with the numbers on it!" ”。
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became a little silent. Ruud's words may have aroused the pain points of the others, and Khima, Anders, and Artur all fell silent, and their eyes turned to their respective checks on the coffee table.
"I can live for five years! Maybe five and a half years," Artur said, "just eat some fast food!" ”。
Kahima reached for the check and sniffed the ink on it: "If I had gotten it eight years ago, maybe I would have walked into church holding hands with a girl!" Instead of just standing on the street across the church and watching her wedding! ”。
The next topic is quite a bit of bittersweet memory, and the four of them began to recall the poor days of bitterness and hardship in the past, and it was a bit like Fang Yi saw the taste of fighting the landlord's old wealth on domestic TV and movies.
Fang Yi couldn't say anything on the side, he didn't have such an experience. Life has always been smooth, and the only time I was unhappy was when I broke up with Mu Jin, but I really couldn't do anything about this matter compared to the other four people who were sitting.
If you look at people, Kahima is because of a poor word, in the eyes of his girlfriend, he is a man who can't take care of his family, and even the two agreed that as long as they can support a family and keep the family living on the poverty line, the two will get married. However, after eating the last meal, Kahima, who began to worry about the next meal, couldn't even do this, of course, he could only choose to let go!
Ruud and Anders are a little better, and their lives can be kept on the subsistence line from time to time. There is no shortage of Kahima's life, but it is also the eldest brother who does not talk about the second brother, half a catty and eight taels.
"My life is the most unsatisfactory! "Since school," Artur said, "I was weak when I was a child, and I was constantly bullied by others! ”。
Hearing this, Fang Yi glanced at the little and thin Artur, with his current height of more than six meters, it was not enough to look at it in a tall crowd like Norway. Thinking about his character again, there is a little naivety in Mu Ne, so it would be strange if he was not oppressed.
Artur continued: "Every time I confess to the girl I love in my heart. will cause a burst of ridicule! I confessed once that nine times out of ten, there was a strong boy who liked her, and when it was time for recess, he would stuff me in a locker. It's one of those long cabinets. The kind of ironskins. I couldn't knock on the door until class and wait for a passing teacher to let me out! ”。 Speaking of this, Artur smiled bitterly: "Until high school, I could still be stuffed into that damn cupboard!" ……”。
Fang Yi would have wanted to laugh if he heard someone tell this story, a small and irrelevant person was pushed into the cupboard, and perhaps a scene that could appear in a comedy movie was tied to a telephone pole by a classmate who likes to play pranks. Tied in a wheat field. But it's not so funny when it happens to your own friends! Fang Yi stretched out his hand and patted Artur's shoulder lightly to show comfort.
I listened to Artur talk about his experiences from elementary school to high school. It's just a history of hard work, and it's been hard to go from elementary school to high school, fortunately, Artur has such a good character that doesn't mess around, if you change someone else, I'm afraid I'll grow up and be a serial perverted murderer.
Compared with a few friends, Fang Yi felt as if he was living in heaven! It was time to immediately stand on the sofa and sing Ren Xianqi's version of "A Laugh in the Sea".
Zou Heming felt that the atmosphere here really felt like it was going to continue to be depressed, so he opened his mouth and clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Okay, guys! The hard days are over, now all you have to do is to devote yourself to your own painting, maintain your style, and of course it is best to keep improving! I'll take care of the rest. Trust me! ”。
Originally, Zou Heming wanted to talk about how hard it is to run a small gallery in the previous paragraph, and he fell in love with some talented and promising artists who ignored him at all and kept eating other people's closed doors, but when he heard Artur talk about his own affairs, he felt that he really couldn't handle this little hardship, at least in terms of the hardships of his life, not only could not compare with Artur, but even Ruud and Anders could not compare, at least Zou Heming was not so poor that he sometimes did things like nibbling bread for a week. The only thing that can be compared is Fang Yi.
Now Zou Heming is also very ambitious in Lawrence's heart, ready to package and launch five people with all his might, and appear in the painting world as a whole, the word linearism not only makes Fang Yi and the five people excited, but also makes Zou Heming excited. With such a proposal, and it was mentioned by an art magazine, the following five people will paint with peace of mind, and constantly launch new works that make the market shine, and all the promotion, packaging and operation will depend on Zou Heming's ability.
In front of the six people sitting around the sofa, a large door was opened, and although the door was still closed, there was already a crack, and the incomparably attractive light in the door had leaked through the gap. All the six people sitting there had to do was to push it away in unison, letting the golden sunlight inside shine warmly on everyone's body.
As long as it is pushed away, the days of young artists living in need are gone, and fame and prestige are gained at the same time. And Zou Heming's gallery will no longer be so inconspicuous that others look down on it or even hear of it. At the same time, five pioneering artists of a new school of painting will be signed to paint a mesmerizing layer of gold on the gallery's business card!
For Zou Heming, such an opportunity is even more rare in his life, operating a painting school! It's exciting to think about, how many galleries have such an opportunity!?
"Let's celebrate!" Zou Jianming greeted Fang Yi and the six of them and stood up from the sofa.
"It's time to celebrate!" Khima followed from the couch and stood up.
"Celebrate!" The others chimed in. (To be continued......)
