When I went out to find Fang Gang, I found that this guy actually went to the art club to chat again, and I only heard him say something like "Yin Spirit Possession" and "Female Spirit", which made the eldest brother and the two girls in the Art Club stunned again. As soon as he saw me come in, the eldest brother of the art club hurriedly said, "Tian Qi, your friend Mr. Fang is really amazing." I won't be introduced earlier! ”

I smiled and pulled Fang Gang back, ready to take him to a famous Cantonese restaurant in Shencheng for dinner. Fang Gang saw the album on the table and immediately picked it up: "Give me this book, when I'm in a bad mood, I'm fucking happy to read it than winning the lottery!" "I don't understand why he likes this album, I think it seems that Mr. Cui may be really talented, but he doesn't have Bole, or his style is more offbeat.

In the taxi, Fang Gang kept laughing while reading the album, and I couldn't help but lean over to look at it, and saw that the words "My First Half of Life" were printed on the top of a certain page of the album, and three circles were drawn in the center, as if they were drawn randomly with an oil brush, some round and some flat, and the lines were particularly simple and sloppy. The text accompanying below roughly means: "This painting has been greatly appreciated by Professor XXX of Shenyang Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts." It is said that it has reached a new height of modern Chinese works. It expresses the author's modest self-deprecation and helplessness about life, which is thought-provoking. ”

"These three laps...... How could it be the first half of my life? "I don't understand.

Fang Gang said while laughing: "It's very simple, it means that Mr. Cui was just a zero egg in the first half of his life, nothing!" ”

Fang Gang turned another page, and I saw that the title was "Do you see the fish tank?" 》。 The content has only one poorly drawn palm, which takes up almost the entire page. The accompanying text is: "It is blocked by the palm of the hand, but in fact, the fish tank is behind it, what a powerful expression!" Modern people only look at the surface of the problem, only the author can see it so thoroughly, a good work! ”

I wanted to laugh, and as soon as I moved my body back, I heard Fang Gang let out an even more exaggerated strange laugh, and even the taxi driver turned his head sideways, thinking that there was a psychopath sitting in the back. I asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

When I looked closer, I saw that the title of this page was "You Say It's Me, It's Actually You", and two large circles were drawn on the page. Like the outer ring of a telescope, there is a small black dot in the center. The accompanying text reads: "This painting is the author's greatest counterattack to the artistic mockers, expressing the artist's thoughts in the face of irony." ”

After looking at it for a long time, I really didn't understand this painting, so I asked Fang Gang, who laughed almost breathlessly, pointed to the picture and said, "This, this painting is an ass." What is the black dot in the middle of you、You yourself want to ......"

After his click, I realized that obviously, Mr. Cui is usually scolded a lot, saying that the work is like a piece of, so Mr. Cui has a feeling. I couldn't stop laughing, and the taxi driver couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what kind of book are you reading so ridiculous?" What's the name, I'll buy a copy too, it's too boring to rent it all day long. ”

I told him that the album was borrowed by a painter friend, and that it was out of print, and you couldn't buy it even if you had money, and the taxi driver had a particularly regretful expression on his face. When I turned to the copyright page and saw the words "Print Run: 200 copies" written in the print run column, I knew that it must have been printed at my own expense, and not only did I not pay for the manuscript, but I also had to pay out of my own pocket and paste it upside down to the publisher.

After flipping through a few pages of the album, I wondered, Mr. Cui's work is this kind of painting? But I also thought that this kind of painting is called abstraction, or "modernism" and "impressionism", isn't there that there are many Chinese painters who paint things that are similar to Mr. Cui's? If you sell hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars at every turn, we can't understand it, it doesn't mean that others can't understand it, maybe it's called art!

That night, Fang Gang and I went to a famous KTV after dinner and played until the early morning and returned to the hotel. At noon the next day, we got up and went out to eat. It's like this for two or three days in a row, and it's really a drunken dream. In fact, I'm curious, even if Fang Gang has no plans to return to Huizhou in this life, he doesn't have to be single until he gets old, why didn't he find a wife in Thailand to start a family and get married? Thinking about it again, a person like Fang Gang who likes wine and lust, which woman can accept it, he probably also has self-knowledge, and he doesn't want to pit other women.

After dinner on the third day, Fang Gang and I sat in the Buddha shop, and I asked my classmates on QQ if there was a new bathing center in Shenyang to play. Fang Gang held the album in his hand, laughed while reading it, and said that the book must not be returned to Mr. Cui, he would take it back to Thailand, and open it whenever he was in a bad mood and wanted to scold. At this time, my mobile phone rang, it was a text message from Mr. Cui, and I opened it and said, "Look, Mr. Cui is looking for me, and he must want to go back to that album." ”

When I opened the text message, the content was: "Boss Tian, do you still have that transfer bracelet?" I want to wear two more. ”

I didn't understand, and when I asked him what he was doing with so many transfer bracelets, Mr. Cui said, "The effect is good!" Just now, someone from the TV station called me and said that they were going to come to my house tomorrow afternoon to interview me, and this is the first time! ”

Seeing this content, I was also stunned, does the transfer bracelet really have this effect? I don't even know. I said that there are still ten in stock, how many do you want. Mr. Cui replied: "I don't have that much money on me, I just went back to the rental house to get paint, and my dad just came back from the construction site and started scolding me again and wanted to drive me away." My mom happened to be at home, so she gave me 800 yuan, just enough to buy two bracelets. ”

Hearing him say this, I thought to myself that Mr. Cui is almost forty years old, and he has to ask his parents for money to buy things, and no one is happy to change it. I said I could send it to you by courier, and Mr. Cui said, "Why don't you come to my house tomorrow and send it to me, and by the way, see how the reporter interviewed me, and then I can give you a propaganda and say that your transfer bracelet works." By the way, don't forget to bring my album, I have this one in my hand, and I'll use it for tomorrow's interview. ”

I thought to myself that your idea was a good idea, but unfortunately it couldn't be realized. Even if you say it, the TV station has to be pinched off when it is broadcast, can you do this advertisement?

I asked Fang Gang if he was interested in going over to take a look, and Fang Gang glared: "Go!" Why not? See how this famous painter was interviewed. I can take the album with me, but I definitely won't give it to him, I have to keep it and take it back to Thailand to be happy! So I asked Mr. Cui for the address and agreed to go to his house around five o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

In the afternoon of the next day, Fang Gang and I took a taxi to Mr. Cui's rental house according to the address, this driver is from Dadong District, he is not very familiar with Heping District, especially Nancheng, and he couldn't find a place after looking for a long time, so he had to get out of the car to find it. From the bustling commercial street, turn into an alley, and turn around to find the address. This is a large shantytown, full of high and low bungalows, the passage is very narrow, it is difficult to walk two people side by side, this kind of environment is rare in Shenyang, it seems that Mr. Cui's family in order to save money, is also hard enough.

Fang Gang was about to faint: "You still have such a house in Shenyang, has it been forgotten by the government?" Is this kind of place when a tall building turns around, heaven and hell? "I laughed and said that shantytowns inevitably exist, and you have to find developers who are willing to pay for them.

Walking around the shantytown, many bungalows no longer have house numbers, and it was difficult to find the house number closest to Mr. Cui's address, and asked an old man sitting at the door to pick up waste and ask if there was a painter surnamed Cui nearby. The old man pointed diagonally to the opposite side, and told us to turn left and then right, and see which door has a picture of the big apple on it, and that's it. Dirt pit pit brother.

It is better to be diligent than to break your leg, and soon Fang Gang and I found it, and there was a big red paper pasted on the door, on which a big apple was drawn with a black pen. In fact, if it weren't for the old man's guidance, Fang Gang and I wouldn't have seen that it was an apple at all, and thought it was a potato with a toothpick on the top.

After knocking on the door for a long time, a middle-aged woman with gray hair walked out, looking like she could be sixty miles away, looking tired. I asked if Painter Cui was not there, and the middle-aged woman's eyes lit up: "I'm his mother, you're a reporter from a TV station, why didn't you see the camera?" ”

I hurriedly explained that it was not, it was Painter Cui who asked me to come to him for something.
