Chapter 15: Wall Painting

I didn't expect that the only gallery in the city was opened by the old man who met in the Gonggu Temple.

And this unserious old man still has to draw a picture of the fruit girl in front of the public, Ren Bufan is quite speechless.

Although he thought for a moment that it was not impossible to make money to paint and watch, he was immediately rejected by himself and left the gallery decisively.

"If you look at things from the eyes of a layman, this is a picture of a fruit girl; if you look at things from the eyes of an artist, that is art! An artist will not be bound by the eyes of the world! If you can't figure this out, you won't be able to achieve anything in the future." When you figure it out, I'm always welcome here!" the old man said as he went out.

Out of the gallery, walking around the streets of the city with painting tools on his back, Ren Bufan didn't know where to go.

Go straight home, and then go to the Gonggu Temple to sketch?

It's afternoon when I take the bus back, and there is not much time.

But there is only one gallery in the city, so do you really go to the old man to draw a picture of the fruit girl?

He couldn't take it.

It's not that you can't draw it, although you were a single dog in your previous life, and you didn't have a girlfriend until you died.

Anyway, I've seen many excellent ******, and various types of fruit girl pictures are not a problem.

But that's purely an art study, and it's not acceptable to paint and make money.

Think about it and just wander around and try your luck at some hotels, restaurants, and other commercial buildings.

The old man once said that it was possible to make money selling his paintings in these places.

Low-end small hotels, small restaurants, and small supermarkets should not spend too much money on paintings, so look for those large-scale high-end places.

There is no shortage of such high-end commercial buildings in the city center.

Biafford Commercial Building, Xinguang Five-Star Hotel, Landu Club, etc., are dizzying.

It's just that it's really not easy to get into this kind of high-end area.

At least with Ren Bufan's dress, the probability of being stopped by security guards is more than 80%.

Even if he wasn't stopped on the spot, he was asked out immediately as soon as he went in to explain his intentions.

He's not a famous painter and doesn't have much background, so who wants to listen to him?

I hit a lot of nails one after another, until about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still in vain.

Knowing that it is not so simple to sell your own paintings, I even had the idea of going back to the gallery.

In the end, he shook his head and interrupted this thought, sat down on the bench at the roadside bus stop, and took out a few extra buns from his backpack that he had bought in the morning.

After eating the buns, I rested for a while, and got up again to get ready to go.

No matter how hard I work, I really can't do it, and I will go back to the Luogu Temple tomorrow to sketch......

If the sketch is not attractive, you can also try oil painting and ink painting styles.

As for the old man, he didn't want to compromise.

If he was still the Ren Bufan who didn't know anything in his previous life, he might have compromised when he encountered this kind of opportunity.

It's just that now that there is a golden finger, there are many ways to make money in the future, but I don't want to start a business with a picture of a fruit girl.

Walking on the relatively unfamiliar streets of the city center, the busy pedestrians and vehicles around him seem to exist in two worlds, without any interaction with each other.

One by one, the commercial buildings looked over, and there were no miracles.

Even some small hotels and small restaurants have tried to see if they can be sold at a cheaper price, and the results can be imagined, pure wasted effort.

I finally gave up around 14 o'clock in the afternoon, it seems that I have no fame, no connections, and I simply rely on myself to sell everywhere, and it is really not so simple to make money by buying paintings.

I also have some time to go to Xinhua Bookstore to look for relevant materials for college students and see if I can understand the mathematical and logical skills of my mastery stage.

Walking in the direction of the bookstore with his painting tools on his back, he passed a large building called the "Shangwen Hotel", and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes who looked to be in his thirties on the right wall of the hotel, arguing with several other people who were covered in paint and holding brushes in their hands.

"Don't you think it's too much for a temporary price increase?" the man in the suit and leather shoes pointed to the location of a few colors on the wall, "The price has been negotiated before, you should do things well!"

"I said it was eight square meters before, but you have at least ten square meters here!" Among the few people holding the brush, the curly-haired man stood up, his face full of cover, "I measured it with a ruler just now, and the size is different from what I said." ”

"Not much," said the man in the suit and leather shoes, "we said it was a wall painting of eight square meters, and here it is more than eight square meters." ”

"What do you mean by this?" The curly-haired man put down his brush and asked the person next to him to take a tape measure and measure it to him, "It's eight square meters from here, and it's more than nine square meters, and it's almost ten square meters!"

"That's not even ten flats, is it?"

"Anyway, you have too much money, you have to add money!" The curly-haired man put away the tape measure, "3500, don't draw a penny less!"

"Even if it's ten square meters, 3,000 is very high, right?" the man in the suit frowned, "And it's in a hurry, you can't make a temporary pick like this!"

"Then we don't care about that, we'll have to add money if we exceed it!" said the curly-haired man, "3500, we'll draw it for you in an afternoon." Nothing less!"

The man in the suit looked displeased: "Otherwise, you can draw it first, and then talk about the price! I have to hand in the task, and I have to get it done before today." ”

"We won't paint without adding money! You're really too much. ”

"What we talked about before has already given you the highest price now. The man in the suit said, "Seriously, even if it's really a ten-square-meter wall painting, 3,000 yuan is not low." I'm really in a hurry, please hurry up!"

"It's none of our business if you're in a hurry, if you don't have enough money, you have to add it, this is not negotiable!" the curly-haired man insisted, "Anyway, if you want to finish the painting, you have to give me 3500, otherwise we can't continue." ”

"It is impossible to add more money, and the declared budget is 3,000. The man in the suit shook his head, "If you want to raise the price, you should say it before, instead of changing the hexagram temporarily, which is a bit unkind!"

"Then we also believe you, I really think that there are only eight square meters you said. The curly-haired man said, "This is obviously almost ten square meters, and the size is completely different!"

"It's not that much, can you help?" said the man in the suit, "Aren't we just doing this business, and we may come to your studio in the future, right?"

"Don't go back! If we go back like this, we'll lose too. The curly-haired man decisively refused, "Let's go to dinner first, you think about it." Anyway, if we don't add money, we won't continue this project!"

"You're going too far!"

"3500 you have to think it's okay, we'll eat later, I'll draw it for you first!" said the curly-haired man, "If not, forget it!"

"I told you, this time the budget was approved for 3,000, and it is impossible to increase the price!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about, let's go!" the curly-haired man directly greeted the people around him, put down his tools and turned to leave.

The man in the suit shouted a few times, but the other party didn't stop, couldn't help but curse, and quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hey! Hurry up and show me, if there are any other studios that can come over immediately! They have to increase the price, it's too much! I know it's very difficult to find this temporarily, but if I don't paint it well today, how can the leader explain it? Do you want me to pay for it out of my own pocket? 500 is not a small amount......

Ren Bufan witnessed the whole process next to him and understood it.

The hotel is going to do wall painting here, and it will start after agreeing with a studio. As a result, the people in the studio measured it and found that the size was wrong, so they had to add money. And this side is unwilling, so they can't talk.

The hotel seems to be in a hurry, but the budget is only 3000, and it is not easy to find someone temporarily.

Ren Bufan had never been exposed to wall painting, but he was proficient in stage painting skills, which made him feel that this was very simple.

Just this piece of painting 3,000 yuan?

I sketched in the Luogu Temple for two days, but it was only about 800.

Seeing that the man in the suit was anxious, he called someone to find a new studio, and at the same time asked his colleague to contact the person in charge of the studio just now to see if he could persuade the other party to come back and continue to complete the wall painting, of course, provided that he did not add money.

It didn't look like it was going well, and the studio insisted on 3,500 yuan to continue painting.

The man in the suit was so anxious that he almost took the brush to paint by himself, but after all, he didn't have the ability to do this, so he could only be in a hurry and continue to call to find a way.

Ren Bufan hesitated and strode forward.

"I'm telling you, there's really no way to increase the budget temporarily, you have to ask the studio to come back and finish the wall painting at a price of 3,000 yuan. I don't care what method you use, in short, get rid of them! They won't let go? Either you convince them, or you will find me another studio! I know it's hard to find them temporarily, so I have to find them! If I don't get it done before night, I'll be in trouble if the boss comes over! I heard that there is no ......" The man in the suit shouted into the mobile phone anxiously, turned around and found Ren Bufan standing in front of him, frowned slightly, waved his hand to let him go away, and continued to make calls.

"Hey!" Ren Bufan didn't leave, but reached out and patted him on the back.

The man in the suit glanced back at him: "Go to the personnel department on the second floor to apply for a job, ask for directions to the newsstand over there, I'm not available!"

Ren Bufan bent down to pick up the wall design that was thrown on the ground, glanced at it slightly, and said to the man in the suit: "I'm good at drawing, and I can get it for you soon." You said 3,000 yuan just now, right? Just pay me!"

When the man in the suit heard this, he looked up and down suspiciously: "Are you? really fake? Look at your dress and you're still a student, right? Art major? Are you a college student?"

Faced with the questioning of the man in the suit, Ren Bufan didn't speak, put down his painting tools directly, reached out to pick up the paint bucket and brush, walked to the wall and waved his hand to paint.

"Hey!" the man in the suit was startled and hurried over to stop him, "Be careful, if the painting goes wrong, can you afford it?"

But in the next second, he was stunned to find that the brush in Ren Bufan's hand was flying up and down at an astonishing speed, drawing beautiful lines on the wall.

The man in the suit who wanted to stop him was quite surprised, worried that forcibly blocking him would make the wall painting ugly. He said that he was so fast, and he didn't hesitate at all, but the lines formed by the paint were amazing.

After all, he is proficient in painting and is one step away from the master.
