Chapter 282 Emotional Chat Room

"How to say it"

"What else can I say, try to please her."

"I guess they will ask you to talk about your creative mood, inspiration and connotation." Yes, just tell me how you drew it. If necessary, you can also mention that you will have more works to be launched at Ma Shi Gallery."

Hanks hesitated. , or changed his mind. "Let's not talk about this for now, at least not in the first chat. It seems that you are eager to stick to other people's wallets."

"I understand. I hope that I can People praise themselves, but they don’t want to express it right away. This would be too explicit." Gu Tongxiang nodded.

For an old man like him who has experienced the ups and downs of life in Southeast Asia, there is absolutely no need for a young man like Hanks to teach him how to behave.

"That's what I mean. Anyway, building a good relationship with such a big buyer will always only bring benefits." Hanks giggled twice on the other end of the phone. "When you opened a gallery in the past, you would also leave some contact information of generous customers to maintain customers and cultivate your own base. It is the same thing as now."

Gu Tongxiang completely understood Hanks The reason for making this call.

Not only is the painter a profession where personal connections are king, but the gallery is also a personal connections business.

The biggest assets of top galleries in the industry such as Ma Shi Gallery and Gagosian Gallery are actually not their annual nine-digit or ten-digit sales.

It is the list of big buyers who have good relationships and transaction records with the gallery.

Gu Tongxiang, the top friend on the WeChat chat software, is a counselor from the South African Embassy in Johannesburg and a gem merchant from Eastern Xia. These two brothers have supported Gu Weijing and Gu Lin's Dulwich tuition fees for several years.

The South African counselor was later promoted to Russia. Mr. Gu Tongxiang was really sorry to lose this big client who loved oriental art.

"I thought being an agent of Ma Shi Gallery would be a little different, for example, a little colder." Gu Tongxiang shook his head.

“We are quite aloof to ordinary buyers, except for the real wealthy people. You have never seen the big boss Mas III at some celebrity social dinners. It is like a crazy spread. The big pollen butterfly kept exchanging phone numbers and promoting his gallery. After all, connections are wealth."

Hanks chuckled twice and said, "It's just a big gallery like ours. The ambition is even greater. Mr. Gu, you used to add customers on WeChat in order to sell more than 1,800 US dollars of paintings. Our ultimate goal now is to see if she can sponsor your solo exhibition."

In fact, collection It is not common for people to directly add painters to social software.

Even if the ordinary white-collar middle class is willing to buy paintings from Ma Shi Gallery, they are not qualified to do so.Contact details of the painter.

Really big buyers pay great attention to personal privacy, and galleries want to but dare not disturb others.

Even Hanks only knew that the buyer was a super person. He didn’t know her specific identity until the other party took the initiative to contact her today.

The person who took the picture of Gu Tongxiang’s peony painting was actually Miss Irina, who is now trapped in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion in the art world.

This is not a bad thing.

No matter what the final outcome of the dispute between Miss Elena and the management of the oil painting magazine was right or wrong.

The wallets of the Elena family are still very fragrant.

"It's this family."

Gu Tongxiang was in awe when he heard this.

He did not expect that he would have direct contact with such a legendary figure in the history of art in his lifetime.

"So I asked you to seize the opportunity. You don't know that they bought an unknown pawn painter like you who makes objective statements and has no malicious intent. They also actively want to know how difficult it is to encounter the artist himself." . Just a little money dropped in the cracks of someone’s fingers is enough for you to have a solo exhibition."

"Unfortunately, your luck is not very good. Now I heard about this Miss Elena. I had a falling out with Sir Brown, the head of the oil painting magazine. In the past, if you could get a few hundred words of recommendation from the editor in the visual arts section of the main oil painting magazine, that would be considered profitable. ”

When hanging up the phone, Hanks' tone was still a little regretful.

After the call with his agent ended, Gu Tongxiang stopped washing the car.

The old man leaned against the car door, first took out his mobile phone and searched for Anna Elena's name on Google.

"This girl is really a sign, it turns out to be her."

Gu Tongxiang smoothed his hair.

Even though the old man’s memory is not very good, after seeing a few media photos, he still immediately remembered the content of the YouTube video he had seen on the online TV in the restaurant at home a few months ago. .

When a girl is so beautiful and sits in a wheelchair, it is difficult to forget her intentionally.

Old man Gu sniffed, his back like an old caterpillar, twisting proudly against the car door several times.

It’s not that Mr. Gu Tongxiang is boring or immoral, of course he has no other ideas.

Simple contentment.

The so-called gifted scholars and beauties, gifted scholars and beauties, are ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, east, west, north, south.

In the life drama of great artists, there must be stories of conquering beautiful girls with their talents.

Su Shi and Wang Wei, the two peak literati painters of the Eastern Xia Dynasty, were actually very popular with women in history, especially romantic figures who were liked by ladies and ladies.

Needless to say, Tang Bohu and Liu Yong, the notorious old man Qian Qianyi and Qian were accompanied by Liu Rushi.

The great painters and writers in the West are all walking pile drivers, sources of sexually transmitted diseases, one after another.A dissolute one.

Some painting schools even have a coquettish declaration like "works that can conquer beautiful girls are good works".

The career of an artist contains a hidden gene of boredom.

Mr. Cao Xuan was also a very romantic figure when he was hanging out in Shanghai's Shili Foreign Market.

"No wonder why I was able to hook up with Miss Sakai because I have good genes, like me. It's a pity that I'm old."

Mr. Gu pried his beard and looked at Anna There were no dirty thoughts in my mind, I was just filled with a huge sense of vanity.

Your grandfather is your grandfather.

It can attract the favor of the heiress of the Elena family, but it can be compared to the grandson.

When Wang Wei was writing the scroll, a poem conquered Princess Yuzhen and passed it down as an elegant and beautiful story through the ages. It was nothing more than this.

Princess Yuzhen is not known for her appearance, so she must not be as beautiful as Miss Elena.

Gu Tongxiang stayed there for a while and finally calmed down, opened the chat software, and clicked on a link that Hanks had sent.

In order to protect privacy, you can add friends through the generated specific link without using your mobile phone number.

Are you sure you want to apply to add contact Anna Elena to your address book?

The phone screen jumps to the social homepage, and the corresponding chat prompt pops up.

The social homepage is very clean, without any redundant notes or messy online names, only the simple German name Anna Elena.

Her avatar is neither like Musk’s Twitter page, which is full of two-dimensional cartoon otaku style, nor is it a personal headshot or life photo like many business people or celebrities.

Anna’s homepage photo is an impressionistic oil painting of a big dog with black and white spots, which can reflect the feeling of a young girl.

Gu Tongxiang doesn’t remember a famous painting like this, and doesn’t know if she painted it herself.

"Hey, it's not the account of someone's assistant or secretary. It looks like it's the private account used by Miss Anna."

Gu Tongxiang was even more surprised.

He clicked OK to add the other party as a friend. Almost immediately, the application was approved.

Gu Tongxiang was still racking his brains to think about how to write a suitable self-introduction as an opening statement, but the other party had already sent new information.

bonjouronsieurgu, vosdesss039iressio Hello, Mr. Gu, I am deeply impressed by your paintings

A large line of Latin letters that I don’t recognize at all appeared on the screen.

Strange,

That’s French

At the same time,

Gu Weijing walked into his bedroom and locked the door , turn on the powerAfter auditioning the sound card on my head, I entered the reserved zoo online chat room.

Mr. Sloth is already waiting in the chat room.

"Hello bonjour"

"Bonjour."

"Being able to use illustrations to treat autism, if successful, would be a sensation Good news, Ms. Detective Cat, please come on."

"Of course."

The two exchanged casual greetings.

They usually communicate in English, and occasionally use French words as they do now.

Mr. Sloth speaks French fluently.

When studying Western art to a high level, there are several countries that cannot be avoided.

In the history of art, Britain and the United States can only be regarded as second- or third-rate countries.

American collectors are relatively rich, and the courage of major art foundations to acquire art at auctions may only be matched by buyers from Eastern Xia.

But after all, the history is relatively short, and the artistic and cultural heritage is much worse.

To this day, it still has not completely shaken off the image of a country that is an upstart country.

The shortcoming of Britain is that only Turner, the one on the cover of the 20-pound note, has a name that can shine on the world. Of course, the rest of Thomas Gainsborough, William Blake, and Burne Jones are also famous. A great painter, but he still lacks a bit of meaning compared to the kind of giant who can really knock people on the table and make them tremble.

Germany and Russia each have their own unique aesthetic charm, and they are also qualified to try to take the first place. Germany is certainly unique in the field of philosophy, but what really shines are drawings, prints and watercolors.

The lack of a legendary oil painter is like a powerful track and field country without a 100-meter champion.

In addition, it is the drag of the shameful history during World War II.

Russia actually has the same problem as the Americans. The history of art is too short.

Before the Anti-French Alliance and Pushkin’s generation, the literati in St. Petersburg had always regarded France as their spiritual motherland. Even they themselves looked down on the rustic culture of their mother country, Tsarist Russia.

It almost went from being a barbarian on the snowfield to a glorious golden age without any transition.

Of course, this feature, which is like a cannonball exploding in the snowy field, making the whole of Europe look at it in an extremely eye-catching way, is also the unique charm of Russian literature and art.

Only French art history falls into the category of "I have my hands in my pockets and can't find an opponent" in the Western world.

England and France, the centuries-old enemies, can fight off John Bulls, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Wilde when it comes to literature. But when it comes to painting and art, the French take a second look across the English Channel, but the French lose.

Degas, Cézanne, Monet, Gauguin, Renoir, and Picasso can be regarded as most of the French people. To this day, Southern France is still the world's leading art company.It is a holy place in the eyes of students, attracting millions of art lovers to make pilgrimages there year after year.

Paris is the Jerusalem of the Western art world.

When Dulwich College required every student to take a minor language as a compulsory course, more than 50% of the students took French as an elective.

Gu Weijing’s French class scores have always been good.

His father also works in France. When he was in the eleventh grade, he took an IELTS test, which is similar to the French version, and got an A2 score.

Before meeting Mr. Cao, Gu Weijing’s dream was actually to apply for a French academy of fine arts in college. The cost of studying abroad in France is relatively low in Europe compared to the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. few.

He chose Algeria as the nationality of the detective cat, not only because it was listed first in alphabetical order, but also because it was a French-speaking country.

"Uh, can you two please talk in a language I can understand?"

A slightly rough and confused male voice said in English.

There is a third person in the chat room and the only one with a live camera on.

He is an Asian man who looks to be about fifty years old. His hair is fixed back with hair wax. He is wearing a black and gray striped suit and a white shirt with a Windsor collar.

Even if the background is a private office with warm furnishings, the tie is still meticulously tied.

The first impression given by a person dressed like this is that he is an academic intellectual, a lawyer, a university professor or a senior doctor.

"Dr. Jin Anqing."

The man raised his hand and briefly introduced himself, "Mr. Jane Arnold's personal psychological counselor and the person in charge of Tony's psychotherapy. It was also my suggestion to invite you to intervene in Tony's treatment process. Considering the types of languages ​​I speak, out of politeness, I suggest that everyone speak English or New Zealand Maori."

"Sorry, Of course, I'm just used to it."

Mr. Sloth apologized before Gu Weijing could reply.

In a three-person meeting, it is inherently impolite for two people to communicate in a language that others cannot understand.

"English is very good."

"Don't be restrained, I just made a little joke. In fact, if any of you really speak Maori, I can't understand it. I It’s just that I can howl along with the college football team. Being able to speak multiple languages ​​is always enviable. French is beautiful, and there is no need to apologize for my ignorance.”

Jin Anqing. The doctor smiled gently.

Gu Weijing also laughed. Dr. Jin is indeed a very accomplished expert in the field of psychology. He only used a small joke to liven up the atmosphere in the chat room.

"Then let's get to the point. Everyone has gotten Tony's case investigation form, right? The patient's condition has been summarized in great detail." Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft.
