Soul Painter

half an hour ago.

Outside the Gardner Museum.

The red carpet session was over long ago, but the reporter only walked half way.

Glamorous red carpet photos weren't all they wanted, and the rest of the journalists were counting on some more explosive news content.

The avant-garde shape of the museum - a transparent glass wall over 30 meters long, creates excellent conditions for voyeurism and candid photography. From this angle, through the lens of a high-magnification digital camera, it is still possible to capture some of the interior of the museum clearly. photo.

"Huh...?" An entertainment reporter noticed an anomaly. When his digital camera lens swung to a corner of the venue, it showed a tall man with a golden beard kneeling down.

He seemed to be bowing down to the painting in the hands of the young artist. It was weird. What was in the painting? God?

Although puzzled, the reporter pressed the shutter quickly.

Next, the cameras of the reporters recorded an even weirder scene.

When a large group of people, including Ms. J.K., Mrs. Gardner, and a group of politicians and celebrities flooded into their cameras, they all stopped talking and began to quickly adjust the focus circle of the camera to record one by one Everyone's expressions, because more than 80% of the faces appearing in the camera at this moment, can alone take on the subject of a newspaper headline in black, of course, the premise is that they must behave a little more 'outrageous'.

In no time, they had captured what they wanted.

Those shots come so easily it's hard even for them to imagine.

When the young oriental painter showed the painting in his hand to everyone, it was as if lightning had struck everyone for a moment, and indescribable doubts and horror appeared on everyone's faces, and some people even exclaimed ——Of course, the reporters couldn't hear their voices, but they could read them from the movements.

Immediately afterwards, some people showed puzzled expressions on their faces, and made movements of leaning forward, trying to find out what was in the painting. Below that, a greater panic emerged in everyone's emotions. Some of them were going to Back off, some really screamed out, most notably Marlene Dumas.

This female artist from Africa knelt on the ground and raised her hands above her head, as if she was praying to the gods of Africa.

The reporters held their breaths, they couldn't believe that such exaggerated good luck came to them, they were afraid that they would wake up as soon as they heard the dream, but the shutter in their hands had already sparked, even if it was a dream, he would not be able to wake up until he woke up. Had to draw this scene because that was so much fun! Worth several bold headlines!

"My God, my God... What happened... Marlene Dumas actually knelt down... Is she kneeling to that young oriental painter... What kind of work can make Marlene Dumas kneel down... Mas knelt down..." A reporter muttered as if his eyes were on the mirror, and he didn't let go.

Another reporter's camera focused on a detail, which was the clenched hands of Ms. J.K. and Mrs. Garnard. Two world-renowned female celebrities, at this moment, held hands tightly like a little girl. At the same time, Mrs. Gardner's disbelief and Ms. J.K's shock are reflected in every micro-expression. It is no exaggeration to call this photo a "divine revelation".

And other reporters who still stayed outside the Gardner Museum also captured the big news they wanted in their own cameras, including the mayor of Boston running away like a child, Captain America Chris Shot of Evans clutching the arm of the man next to him - is this his bisexual lover? It's so romantic to see the art exhibition together.

The harvest is full.

Now there is only one doubt left for everyone.

What is it that has brought them such a fruitful harvest? What is the content of the paintings that the mysterious young oriental painter showed to everyone? Whether it is the revelation of God or the threat of the devil, apart from the gods in religion, they do not believe that there is anything else that can bring such a shock to these politicians and stars who are used to performing.

Art can touch people's hearts, but I have never heard of any artist whose works can make people bow down.

Thinking in this way, the reporters invariably focused their cameras on the thin figure whose back was facing them. They put their huge curiosity and doubts on the lens in their hands, believing that one after another The photos will become the focus of their newspapers, not only keeping the mystery and confusion in their hearts, but also passing it on to all readers.

...

now.

Inside the museum.

"Congratulations! An amazing work! Does PACE have the honor to acquire this painting? Dear GAO."

The first person to congratulate Gao Fan was the boss of PACE, Ai En. He was the first to find Gao Fan, trying to obtain the right to acquire the painting just like last time.

Ain realized that this was a painting beyond the common sense of human art.

Enough to start a school of work!

Gao Fan heard what Ain said, but he had no time to reply.

Now is not the time for the domestic biennale, Ain was the center of the whole circle at that time, but at this moment, there are many collectors and artists who are more concerned than him, so Ain, who was the first to congratulate Gao Fan, In an instant, it was drowned in more praises.

"Can I take another look?"

"What kind of creative techniques do you use to express?"

"How can the strong painting effect and immersive experience be unified?"

Artists and art critics were the first to rush forward to ask questions. This is like when Cubism first appeared in the world. The first time you see it, you will be shocked. There has never been such a work in the history of world art. It is a miracle and a myth.

They are eager to know what kind of techniques are used to create such works.

Gao Fan was unable to answer all the questions, and Lawrence made a timely rescue. He promised that if the organizer allowed, there would be a special questioning session for everyone to have an artistic exchange. Gao Fan and Hua brought out the crowd together.

After all, the artist is not a tabloid reporter, and in this environment, he was unable to communicate effectively. He also realized that he had lost his composure, so he watched Gao Fan and Lawrence leave with a smile. Feeling strongly, these well-known painters from more than a dozen countries applauded Gao Fan at the same time.

Art knows no borders.

This applause is praise and admiration for a pioneering attempt in the painting world.

It is also like a spiritual resonance among artists under a certain powerful call.

The applause infected other people present, including art critics, politicians and movie stars, who applauded unanimously. This was like an awards ceremony without a trophy, and also like a new king without a crown.

While watching Lawrence and Gao Fan walking in the applauding crowd, Ai En suddenly felt a little lost, and then a strong regret welled up in his heart, and he was almost the one who signed Gao Fan!

...

Lawrence took Gao Fan to a lounge.

And then Lawrence left, he still had a lot to deal with.

Lawrence can imagine that from tomorrow on, Gao Fan's name will gradually be known by art circles all over the world. How about a title of a young artist from the East whose works make the current masters kneel?

Foreign newspapers, Lawrence can not control, but the domestic news, the above headlines can be reported.

Judging from the habit of wealthy people in China following the trend of the world's art circles, Lawrence is almost certain that after some operations, the price of Gao Fan's works will increase ten times or even dozens of times in a short period of time!

Of course, it is best to strike while the iron is hot and sell Gao Fan’s current painting. The price of this painting multiplied by three to five will be the basic selling price of Gao Fan’s works in China.

A true artist may not care about money, but money is indeed the fairest measure of an artist's achievement.

Soon, Lawrence brought back good news to Gao Fan.

"Mrs. Gardner is willing to pay half a million dollars for this work of yours," Lawrence said.

Five hundred thousand dollars, more than three million yuan, compared with the auction price of hundreds of millions of dollars, it seems that it is still very little, and it is not as good as the level of this work, but don't forget, collectors The fundamental value of collecting a work is not the work itself, but the reputation of the artist behind the work.

Before his death, a painting of Van Gogh could only be sold for 400 francs. Ten years later, after his death, his work "Portrait of Doctor Gachet" was auctioned for 89 million US dollars. Is the level of the writer's works doubled by 10 million times? No, it's just that Van Gogh began to be accepted by the secular public, or in other words, he became the target of hype sought after by collectors.

Therefore, when Gao Fan was still alive, still young, and even had a lot of room for improvement, Mrs. Gardner, who owned a museum, was willing to use this standard for famous painters to buy Gao Fan's paintings, which can only prove that The excellence and excellence of this piece of work.

"You said..." Gao Fan hugged his painting and fell into a state of contemplation. God was leaning on his side. Everyone and the cat looked sluggish. It was because they were too tired to catch the plane and they were all sleepy." If I want to have a solo exhibition, can I do it here?"

"As long as you present ten more works of the same level, the British Museum will kneel for you. You don't know that you have conquered the whole of Boston tonight!" Lawrence's excitement was beyond words. As an art dealer , nothing makes him happier than having a legendary painter under his banner.

Especially in Boston tonight, it seems that all the stars are shining for Gao Fan!

This is the beginning of the legend!

"Sell the painting, don't sell it." Gao Fan finally realized what Lawrence was saying, "This painting is too dangerous, I can only keep it myself."

"Not for sale...well, it's fine if not for sale. But can I take another look at it? Many people outside also want to take another look at it." Lawrence said that after going through the experience just now, many people are doubting themselves What they saw, many people don't even remember what they saw, they are eager to appreciate the painting again.

As for whether the painting was actually sold to Mrs. Gardner, it doesn't matter, as long as Gardner is willing to pay 300,000 US dollars, then this is the current worth of Gao Fan in the world art circle.

"They're fine, so don't read it, you still have to be my agent." Gao Fan said something to Lawrence that made him feel inexplicable.

First of all, I would like to express my deep apology and review for the unpleasant experience of frequent broken chapters to some students after it was put on the shelves. Secondly, in order to improve the reading experience of students, the book update makes the following adjustments: First, the update time is concentrated at 11 am, usually at the same time Update 3 chapters, if you haven't finished writing, update the rest at 17:00; second, control your hands, keep chapters, if you break to the place where you hang your throat, I will punish you and give out red envelopes. Finally, I would like to inform you that the high order was 5900 yesterday. According to the agreement, 39 chapters will be added this month. Well, 4 updates almost every day are enough, but I will take a break first and organize my thoughts. Only by slowing down can I reach the end faster. In the end, I ran through the entire plot after it was put on the shelf, and made some deletions, but not many. I wanted to combine 105 and 106 into one chapter, but the editor said that the VIP chapter could not be deleted, so I deleted and changed them separately. Now the two chapters are less than 2000 words. Others, I can only say that I am used to creating watches and expressions. If everyone prefers the "direct delivery" method, I will try to be simpler and more direct in the future. Finally , Thanks for the support of the students, I will redouble my efforts!
