Chapter 719: I don't know the bottom of my heart
Jia Cong's exhibition in Italy is a different story.
Jia Cong himself studied Chinese painting, and later studied Western painting, and after the fusion of the two, another style that did not exist in the West appeared, which immediately became very popular in the local area, and became famous within two years.
At that time, Jia Cong was going to return to China, and the art dealers heard the rumors that they came to the door to stay, but after several failures, they simply partnered to open an art exhibition for Jia Cong, and strive to keep more of his paintings.
Therefore, at that time, Jia Cong's art exhibition was equivalent to an internal art exhibition of an art dealer, he was already famous, and the rest was nothing more than selling the paintings he had accumulated in recent years to these art dealers at one time.
As for how much these dealers will sell his paintings in the future, it is none of his business that the price is sky-high.
It's just that Benjamin doesn't know about these situations, Jia Cong doesn't deliberately publicize it, and even Jia's family doesn't know that Jia Cong is already so famous.
Yingchun's idea for her husband was also casually said. Who knew that Benjamin really listened to it, and the more he thought about it at night, the more he felt that this method was good, and he ran to find Jia Cong the next day.
Jia Cong had just gotten up, and was asking his wife to pack up some paintings for herself so that she could send them to her brother-in-law, but the couple was still choosing, so Benjamin found it himself.
When he saw the painting that Zhen Yinglian brought up, Benjamin's eyes were straight, he looked at it for a long time, looked up and stumbled: "This ...... Did you really draw it? ”
Jia Cong smiled slightly: "If my brother-in-law is not satisfied, there are still some paintings that are not painted on the sea, but they are all past studies, and they need to be supplemented and modified before they can be used as ornaments." ”
Benjamin shook his head so much that his neck was about to break, took the painting in his arms, and jumped back, for fear that Jia Cong would take the painting back.
"I want this, I want this! Is there anything else? ”
The one in Benjamin's hand is a picture of stormy waves, the whole painting is only white, blue and black, but the layers are gradual, and the light and shadow are intertwined. It's just a painting, but it gives the impression that the waves are about to hit the canvas.
Benjamin then realized that he had found a treasure, and his jaw was about to dislocate.
"Good uncle, give me a few more paintings, my entire first floor, no, the whole foreign bank will not hang other people's paintings anymore, as long as yours!"
Jia Cong chuckled, turned back to his wife and said, "Don't pick the rest, give it to him together." ”
Zhen Yinglian couldn't help but smile and nodded, turned around and went to the cage, and took out all the inventory.
Seeing the couple take such a good painting out of the slightest, Benjamin's heart was about to drip blood. While shouting for someone to come in, he carefully unfolded the painting and padded it with several layers of fine solid silk.
"It's too unprotective!" Benjamin muttered, "You are paintings!" Is oil painting good! How can there be such a thing as you, the front is still leaning against the front. Oh my God, you're a tyrannical thing! ”
Zhen Yinglian couldn't help it, and she was happy.
"Ben, this is a previous study, and it's not a very good finished product."
Benjamin took the paintings, read them one by one, and felt that although they were not as beautiful as the stormy pictures, they were much better than the others.
"That's enough, I'm sorry for the good ornaments. These will be hung on the first floor, the one you painted on the sea, and I will hang it in my office. ”
Benjamin said while proudly letting people collect all the paintings, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Jia Cong: "Good uncle, if you paint a few more pictures these days, my lot is also short of art, and in a month, the auction will start, and I will wait for you then." ”
Jia Cong had no choice but to send him out, and when he came back, he said to his wife with a smile: "This person is really, he was reluctant yesterday, and today he has an uncle, and he is so thick-skinned." ”
Zhen Yinglian also smiled: "It's also because you paint well, so he cherishes it so much." As I said, wherever you go, you won't be buried. Why, now you believe it, right? ”
Jia Cong's heart trembled at his wife's words, and he smiled silently when he looked at his wife.
It's not that he doesn't want to go home early, but he is afraid that he will never achieve anything, waste his family's money in vain, and in the end he will not be able to achieve anything in Danqing.
He was the son of the family, but he spent more financial resources on his parents to cultivate his interests. If he can't become famous, then how can he be embarrassed, and how can he hold his head up at home in the future.
Outside, no matter how popular he is, he has no bottom in his heart. I don't know if such a painting can be accepted by people who follow the rules, if not, wouldn't it be a shame for parents?
Such thoughts, until just now, had been hovering in Jia Cong's heart. Even if Benjamin took away his paintings as a treasure, he was worried about whether only foreigners like Benjamin could accept it, but the Chinese still couldn't accept it.
This worry was not really dispelled until his study was hung up in the hall of the foreign store. After Benjamin went back and changed all the paintings, within a few days, someone asked the foreign company about the origin of the painting, and came to the door to hand over the sticker, wanting to visit Jia Cong, the great painter.
When Jia Cong heard about this, he was still a little unconvinced. It wasn't until Liuli repeatedly assured that he was here to find the second master, and Jia Cong changed his clothes and went to the front hall to meet the guests.
When Benjamin received the letter and heard that someone was going to see Jia Cong, he was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed over from the foreign bank, and regardless of his face, he directly drove away the people who came to see Jia Cong, and then pulled Jia Cong and asked him not to meet people casually in the future.
Jia Cong was made to cry and laugh by him, and couldn't help complaining: "Don't see anyone? Why, is it possible that because of my own paintings, I can't even socialize normally? ”
Benjamin hurriedly said: "No, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, my uncle doesn't know, these people are very shrewd, and while my uncle is not famous now, I want to pit my uncle."
"Although we are the same age, since you are my uncle, of course I will stand by your side and take care of you. You can rest assured, after this auction, your reputation will be resounding all over the country, and then it will spread ten or ten hundreds, and within half a year, I will ensure that you will be famous all over the country. ”
Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth, shook his head and asked, "What if you can't become famous?" Do you want my painting? ”
Benjamin sighed: "You also underestimate me, what, I call you Uncle Sheng, you forgot what I do?" ”
Jia Cong couldn't help laughing, shook his head and ignored him, and went back to his room by himself. However, today's events made him feel very excited, and he was in the mood to paint.
That night, all the servants in the Jia family's gatehouse received an order, saying that no one was allowed to visit the second master. After that, when anyone came to visit, they were all stopped at the door, only saying that the second master of the Jia family was in retreat to paint, and there were no guests.
