Soul Painter

"GAO, Bostno will fully support your creative plan." Although Luoda will officially become the new mayor a month later, the approval rate as high as 54% at the moment has made this result unquestionable.

She is about to use her campaign office as a team to form a new staff group, and she is also extremely busy. Bostno ranks among the cities in the beautiful country, which is equivalent to Lin'an or Jinling in China, and because the beautiful country is an autonomous system of continents , so it's okay to say that Luoda is a small lord at the moment, and he is naturally busy with affairs every day.

But she still came to see Gao Fan in person, and at the same time told how the city government planned to support him.

"We will open all the population databases to you. In fact, I also checked carefully. The 130,000 family relationships you estimated are still overestimated. Bostno has a history of nearly 500 years, and many families are here. Life, maybe 100,000 or so family relationships, is enough to describe the whole Bostno."

As for Gao Fan's creation plan, it has been spread throughout Bostno in the past two months. Luo Da paid attention to it, and naturally knew its content. For portraits, you only need to focus on hundreds of thousands of family units—Luoda thinks this number may be only one hundred thousand.

"I can already exercise some administrative rights and interests. If you start arranging from now on, maybe you will have more time." Luo Da also knows that the time period Gao Fan set is until January next year, although he doesn't know why , but artists always have their own quirks.

"Thank you very much~" Gao Fan shook Luo Da's hand and said, from the end of March or early April to January next year, so they have nine months, if they paint 10,000 people every month, they only need Three hundred people, this work plan has become very reasonable.

"However, after all, unlike your country, our country has a strong mobilization ability." Luoda expressed her concerns again, "All I can do is to send out a call and shout a slogan. It might be like your country, mobilizing everyone, where only the tax office has that capability."

This is a joke, but there are only two things that cannot be avoided in the beautiful country, one is death, and the other is the tax bureau, such as the transnational drug lord who can't even handle the National Bureau of Investigation, and being arrested and sent to federal prison for tax evasion , not once or twice.

"My creative cycle is relatively tight, what's your suggestion?" Gao Fan asked, "You must come to me when you have a solution, right?"

"Money speaks," Roda said.

Anna, who was the translator, relayed to Gao Fan: "Having money can turn ghosts into millstones."

"This method is very straightforward. What if I offer each model $10?" Gao Fan asked.

"Then most of the homes you visit will open their doors to you," Roda said.

"How about $100 per person?" Gao Fan asked.

"Then your threshold will be broken by visitors." Luoda said.

"If 500 dollars..." Gao Fan said.

"I need to remind you what is 500 multiplied by 100,000?" Anna asked Gao Fan.

"It seems to be... $50 million." Gao Fan himself was startled.

"Then 10 million US dollars!" Gao Fan decided.

Anna stared at Gao Fan in silence, without translating the sentence, as if asking, are you rich?

"I still have more than 10 million dollars, of course in RMB, but Mrs. Gardner and the New York Museum want to acquire three paintings. Together, I can get more than 10 million dollars, which is completely enough. Gao Fan explained to Anna in a low voice, signaling her to translate boldly, no problem.

So Anna nodded and translated Gao Fan's words. Luckily, it was Anna. If Lawrence was here, even if Gao Fan's mouth was bald, his manager would not agree to this approach. What a joke, I have only heard of it Painters make money by painting, how can they spend 10 million US dollars just to hire models?

Who?

That's the kind of money you could get any one or more of the biggest names in Hollywood to model you in the nude.

"Your dedication to art is astonishing." Luoda sighed, she didn't think of this method, Gao Fan would agree immediately, without even hesitation, she knew that Gao Fan became famous not long ago, and this might be his entire net worth right?

"The Forbes family will support you, I talked to Lauer, and will provide you with a sponsorship of 1 million US dollars, but on the condition that you get the first right of acquisition of this painting, under the same conditions, the Forbes family has the first priority to own it right," Roda said.

"Thank you very much, but you don't need it." Gao Fan replied.

Gao Fan's answer made Luo Da a little surprised, she hurriedly said: "I will not interfere with your creation, but the Forbes family is a consortium, and their investment must be rewarded, so I have to set some innocuous conditions. "

"Gao's works only belong to Gao." Anna said on behalf of Gao Fan, "Besides, he is very rich, so he doesn't need to accept sponsorship."

At this time.

Lawrence came in from outside.

He seemed to smell the imminent loss of money, and after greeting Luoda, he asked Anna why she was rich and why she didn't need to accept sponsorship.

After Anna recounted the whole thing to Lawrence, Lawrence's expression began to be pregnant with wind and rain. He first took a deep breath, and then took a deep look at Gao Fan. Gao Fan nodded with a smile, so Lawrence realized that he was like before Similarly, the matter was irreversible, so he took another deep breath to calm himself down, and then turned to Luoda and said, "This is a work destined to be great..."

Gao Fan didn't care about the next thing.

Since he chose Lawrence as his agent, he should be given the corresponding rights.

As for Gao Fan, he has already turned his attention to the upcoming creation of an unprecedented painting art.

His inspiration tells him that he can get a lot, a lot, a lot out of this creation.

Not only the improvement of skills, but also more precious things.

...

April eleventh.

Next to the city hall in Bostno, which made all the citizens complain, was once rated as the ugliest building in the world, and became a tourist punching destination because it was rated as the "least popular building", on the city hall square built at the same time as the city hall Gao Fan's creation, which was called "the most eye-catching performance painting art in the 21st century" by the newspaper, officially started.

Of course, there was no ribbon-cutting ceremony. Gao Fan and Anna arrived here before the pigeons moved their nests in the early morning on the square, and unfolded their drawing boards. The first wave of citizens who came by appointment, as well as the municipal staff who assisted in the distribution of money, have not yet arrived. , the reporters did not come, and Gao Fan looked at the masterpiece of Brutalism next to the square, the Bostno City Hall.

This rectangular building looks big up and down, like a coffin propped up by columns. At first glance, it feels uncomfortable upside down. At the same time, the color of the space is extremely single. The square and the city hall are gray in a glance, and there is no room for association. , When walking on the square, I can't find a sense of visual support, and I can see a thousand miles at a glance, which is so ugly that it is three-dimensional.

It took him a while to say, "It's ugly."
