Soul Painter

Another week passed.

　　 Lawrence finds Gao Fan.

　　 The agent's expression is a little frustrated.

　　 First, he told Gao Fan a piece of news, “The painting exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum is officially over.”

Ok. Gao Fan nodded.

　　 "Rent a floor in the Empire State Building and we will develop it ourselves." Gao Fan said to Lawrence.

　　 "...Okay." Lawrence nodded, anyway, Gao Fan is rich and rich.

　　 "Now the buyer's market is very cautious about your paintings." Lawrence added that he had communicated with many buyers in the past three days, but the results were not satisfactory. "The highest bid is only 50 million."

"This is much more reasonable." Gao Fan nodded. The market price is still very high for a living artist, which is enough to reflect his identity as the founder of the Demon School, but he glanced at Lawrence again. But if I don’t sell it, I can’t afford to lose that face."

　　 dropped from 100 million to 50 million.

　　 The price drop for this type of fracture.

　　 makes people laugh to death.

　　 Gao Fan doesn't care about being laughed at, but he just feels upset.

Lawrence wiped his face in frustration and realized that his greed had harmed Gao Fan. It was a big blow to him, not just because of the money, but as an agent, he actually harmed his artist. 'Now, this is a major blow to his professional confidence.

　　 "Big brother, don't think too much, we made the decision together. Of course, I like to play and you like money, but we should bear the result together~" Gao Fan said.

　　 "...Okay." Lawrence nodded, "They underestimated you, you will do miracles again, right?"

　　 "Yes, I will continue to create great works, let them wave hundreds of millions of dollars in bills, and beg us to sell them~" Gao Fan said cheerfully.

"That's pretty good..." Lawrence laughed dryly. "Actually, several buyers I met are still very interested in the Demon faction, but they are too expensive to buy, but the Demon faction has works they can afford... "

　　 Halfway through, Lawrence didn't say anything.

　　 But Gao Fan is still waiting.

　　 But Lawrence had already looked at Anna who was sitting behind Gao Fan like a shadow.

　　 So Gao Fan also looked at Anna.

　　 Anna, who was smearing on the sketchbook in her hand, looked up and crossed her eyes.

　　 oh~

　　 "They want to buy AA paintings?" Gao Fan understood.

　　 Facing Gao Fan’s question, Lawrence nodded.

　　 There are indeed people who want to acquire the works of Anna Armas.

"Yes, the price has been raised to 20 million US dollars. As long as it is a theme similar to the "Bostonian" or "The Strongest on the Surface" exhibition, if it is the "Mask" group paintings, the price will be a little lower, and it will drop to 15 million. Around." Lawrence said.

　　 That's it... Gao Fan looked at Anna.

　　 Anna uses her usual expressionless state to look at Gao Fan.

　　 "AA, stand in front of the stage. From now on, you will be the pillar of the Devil faction. I am too expensive. They can't afford it anymore," Gao Fan said.

　　 "Okay." Anna nodded, as long as it is Gao Fan's request, she will agree.

　　 "Okay, look for Anna's work, if there is any that meets the requirements, and then help her sell a good price, Anna's skills are not inferior to me, those guys, buy it and earn it." Gao Fan said to Lawrence.

Ah?

　　 Lawrence was taken aback.

　　 He didn't expect this matter to be settled so easily.

　　 Is there no jealousy, embarrassment, or rejection?

　　 This means that in the future, Lawrence will promote Anna Armas as the representative painter of the Demon School.

　　 Gao Fan, no matter how generous, will be lost. Valley

　　 "Little brother, did you agree too quickly? It's not like you." Lawrence said.

　　 "What am I like? I don't know what I am like." Gao Fan said with a smile.

　　 "But you are so happy that you can't sell the painting?" Lawrence felt that Gao Fan's mood was wrong.

"You know~" Gao Fan's tone rose obviously at this moment. "Facing the current market environment, I have a feeling that you get 100 points in the test because you can test 100 points, and I have 100 points in the test because only 100 points in the test paper. I I deeply feel that the human world can no longer hold me~"

　　 Lawrence looked at Gao Fan’s excited eyes and tone, suddenly there was a feeling that he really didn’t understand this little junior, the world of genius, it’s really hard to understand!

　　...

　　 Gao Fan is not without emotions.

　　He is very emotional.

　　 But this emotion is not for others.

　　 but to myself.

　　 He hates dealing with buyer's markets, but that is indeed part of his objective part of proving himself.

　　 Capital is disgusting.

　　 But that is one of the laws of modern social and economic operation, and you have to adapt to it before the red flag is spread all over the world.

　　 It’s not about money.

Gao Fan's money is enough for him to spend a few lifetimes... Well, of course, the current spending speed is a bit fierce. It is not enough to spend it at this rate. But Gao Fan's material requirements are almost zero. As long as he can live and be able to create That's it.

　　 This is about approving oneself.

　　 Gao Fan realized one thing, he was forced into a ‘corner’ by himself.

　　 With the help of demon dye, he drew such a magical work as "Bostonian".

　　 so he raised his own standards to this point.

　　 But his current drawing skills are not up to the point where he can create such works at any time.

　　 It may take two stages of drawing skills, ‘distortion’ and ‘world’ to reach full value.

　　 So he will treat all works that are not great enough as perfunctory.

　　 The origin of all this probably started with Lu Guoying’s criticism of him,'perfection is compromise'.

Capital manipulating criticism from critics, UU Reading www.uukānshu.com originated from Gao Fan’s excessively high status. It is malicious, purposeful, and does not represent the truth, but Gao Fan will think in reverse, if he can Then create "Redemption", and then draw "Bostonman", not to mention 100 million US dollars, it is 300 million, 500 million, there will be a lot of people waving banknotes to buy from him.

　　 Therefore, malicious criticism and Gao Fan's dissatisfaction with himself have formed Gao Fan's current dilemma.

　　 Even though the painting "Veteran" has reached the pinnacle of Gao Fan and Anna's skills, it is a masterpiece that can be passed down to the world.

　　 But the market, Anna, and Gao Fan are not satisfied. Their expectations of Gao Fan are not ‘legacy’, but ‘legendary’.

　　 can be legendary, not easy.

　　 is not easy for Gao Fan.

　　 He doesn't have bright dye, so he can't paint "Salvation".

　　 Without infinite dyes, "Bostonian" can no longer be drawn.

His skills have reached the stage of the first masters, but they are not necessarily better than those of the 18th and 19th century masters, such as Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, and Monet. At least, the "micro" technique attached to a brush of Monet. , There are 50, and Gao Fan’s current strongest'world' is only 40.

　　 This makes Gao Fan fall into self-doubt beyond his optimism about Lawrence and Anna.

　　 So he couldn't draw even more.

　　 Every day, either in a daze on the third floor terrace of the villa.

　　 Either hold the volume of Tao Te Ching in the studio and see if Lao Tzu is back.

　　 Today, I finally came back.
