Soul Painter

The evaluation team was defeated and left Gaofan Studio.

Three professors bowed their heads and surrendered, and two student representatives threw away their helmets and armor.

It was only later that Gao Fan found out that among the two student representatives, the one who shed tears in front of "Falsehood" was also running a relationship to recommend graduate students. Maybe he felt that Gao Fan had replaced him, and he came here out of jealousy, but after returning I was in a trance for many days, not thinking about tea or food, and finally realized it, and submitted my resume in a down-to-earth manner.

And the one who smirked in front of "Desperate Joy" was in a serious relationship, and it was hard to decide after graduation. Whether to stay in Tianshi and work hard with his girlfriend, or go back to his hometown to accept the arrangement of his parents, he hesitated, and after returning, he also had an epiphany and decided. I stayed in Tianshi with my girlfriend and worked hard to start a business.

Gao Fan heard these things from Xin Wei, and Xin Wei also said that the experience of several members of the evaluation team, after spreading in Tianmei, has turned Gao Fan's studio into a magic cave, which can hit the hearts of human beings.

Gao Fan listened to all this with a smile. The evaluation team had already happened a few days ago. Xin Wei was helping him pack his things and went to Xiangjiang to participate in this international art exhibition. In fact, this art exhibition is also related to Xin Wei's work unit ——"Guardian International" is co-sponsored by Hong Kong's local gallery "Hanart TZ" and "Guardian International". Hanart TZ is in charge of the exhibition hall and Guardian is in charge of the auction.

But with Xin Wei's intern level, such cross-border art exhibitions and auctions are nothing to her.

"Did you get bullied in Guardian?" Gao Fan asked suddenly, "I heard someone scolding you when I called last time."

"It's not considered bullying." Xin Wei brushed her messy hair, her face was flushed. Just now she was packing Gao Fan's suitcase. For this seven-day trip, she prepared the clothes to wear every day, as well as the clothes for formally attending the art exhibition. The suit, the suit is also specially customized, and Xin Wei handles it all by himself.

She said: "They are all interns. They help the supervisor buy coffee and copy documents every day. Everyone does this, and I am no exception."

"Why don't you go to Fang Gusi and become a curator, and you will handle all my exhibitions in the future." Gao Fan suggested.

"Okay~ Hurry up and create more works~" Xin Wei said with a smile, she looked at Gao Fan with bright eyes, but hesitated for a moment, she glanced out the window, the wind is very calm tonight , She said again: "Actually, no, don't try to use your influence to help me, I have to have my own life, and I can't be attached to you."

"Why? Because I'm unreliable?" Gao Fan asked curiously.

Xin Wei smiled and said nothing, the slight smile lines blooming on her lips are like a lily flower that is fragrant in the dark night.

Only when I am not attached to you can I become an indispensable person in your life.

...

mid-September.

Gao Fan arrived in Xiangjiang.

Lawrence has already arrived first. He arrived with Gao Fan's two mask paintings "Falsehood" and "Desperation". He first coordinated with Guardian International on the exhibition and auction process.

After Gao Fan arrived, he received good news from Lawrence.

Guardian International has approved Gao Fan's two mask paintings to enter the auction stage, and is printing the auction album.

Combining exhibitions and auctions is a sales method commonly used by Guardian International recently.

The exhibited works are divided into two levels. The first level is directly linked to the price, and buyers can purchase it in the exhibition. The second level is to participate in several auctions, and the highest price wins.

The exhibition held in Xiangjiang this time belongs to the international level, and those who can participate in it are some oil painters with world reputation. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate which level you can participate in in advance.

From the perspective of the organizers, Gao Fan barely has a world reputation, as evidenced by those Boston newspapers. Of course, the most important thing is that the two works conquered the art consultants of Guardian International.

As a young oil painter who has not yet fixed his net worth, this auction is of great significance to Gao Fan. Well, this is what Lawrence thinks. Gao Fan thinks it is important, but not too important, but he understands Lawrence's respect for him. I worked hard, so I was very cooperative to appear here and prepared for a week.

As for chatting with those collectors...

"Hehe." In the hotel, Gao Fan looked at Lawrence with a smile, "Don't even think about it."

"Okay, I know." Lawrence sighed.

Everyone has a tacit understanding about the auction.

Which collectors or museums will appear, and the brokers will be informed in advance.

Especially for the management of some young painters, sometimes there will even be fake auctions, such as entrusting some international collectors to purchase at a higher price, inflating the price, and then go to the domestic market to deceive those who are taken advantage of.

It’s just that this method can only deceive laymen. For the paintings of living painters, real collectors are shrewd. Generally, the market value is equal to their skills and reputation. There may be some false highs or false lows, but they will not be too outrageous. After several market measurements, it will always return to rationality.

As an agent, Lawrence is full of confidence in Gao Fan's paintings, but he always hopes that Gao Fan can meet and chat with those collectors to show respect. Maybe the final transaction price will be doubled, especially It was the art consultant who came to Xiangjiang on behalf of Mrs. Gardner, only for Gao Fan.

"Not only Mrs. Gardner, but also several other collectors from Boston..." Lawrence was not reconciled, and he did not expect that the Boston art circle would have such a deep memory of Gao Fan, especially for Gao Fan's collectors who came to Hong Kong Not a lot.

"Mr. Lawrence, I will honestly tell Mr. Lu Guoying everything you say now." Gao Fan said with a smile, "So do you have anything else to say?"

"...It's gone." Lawrence looked at Gao Fan, as if he saw a little Lu Guoying. This imagining made him sigh again. If Lu Guoying knew that he wanted to arrange Gao Fan to accompany the collector to dinner, Lu Guoying would tear him apart with his fangs. he.

...

Because there are collectors who come just for him.

So Gao Fan didn't even cut the ribbon for the exhibition.

Then, during the six-day exhibition, he even painted his third mask group painting in a hotel, just to avoid the crowd.

But even if he hid in the hotel, he could still hear the sound of 'jingling' SAN value falling into his pocket.

Last time, the jury of the school gave him 6 SAN points, including three professors with 1 point each, two students, one with 2 points and one with 1 point.

But this time, hiding in the hotel, Gao Fan could also see that the value of idle SAN kept rising, with '+1', '+2', and even '+3'.

"Worshiping the Elk Cat Statue" can harvest the special effects of the viewer's SAN value many times, because "Worshiping the Elk Cat Statue" has added the "Great His Shell".

The two mask group paintings created with the techniques of 'world' and 'distortion' do not have 'great traits' and cannot achieve the effect of continuously defeating the viewer's sanity, but the superposition of the two techniques still breaks through the limitations of the previous demonic paintings limit:

They can only be harvested once, but they can harvest a SAN value that may be greater than 1 point.
