Soul Painter

Another week.

Lawrence finds Gao Fan.

The agent's expression was a little dejected.

First, he told Gao Fan a message, "The Metropolitan Museum's art exhibition is officially over."

Um. Gao Fan nodded.

"Let 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, very rich.

"Now the buyer's market is very cautious about your paintings." Lawrence also said 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."

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

From 100 million to 50 million.

This hits the fractured price drop.

It will make people laugh.

Gao Fan doesn't mind being laughed at, but he just doesn't like it.

Lawrence wiped his face in frustration, and when he realized that Gao Fan was hurt by his own greed, it hit him hard, not just because of the money, but as an agent, he actually killed his artist. ' Well, it was a major blow to his professional confidence.

"Brother, don't think too much, the decision is made by us together, of course, I do it because I like to play, and you do it because I like money, but the result should be shared by us~" Gao Fan said.

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

"Yeah, I will continue to create great works, let them wave hundreds of millions of dollar bills, begging us to sell them~" Gao Fan said cheerfully.

"That's pretty good..." Lawrence laughed dryly, "Actually, the few buyers I contacted were still very interested in Devil Pie, but they were too expensive to afford, but Devil Pie has works they can afford. ..."

Halfway through, Lawrence stopped talking.

But Gao Fan was 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 scribbling on the sketchbook in her hand, looked up and met the eyes of the two.

oh~

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

Facing Gao Fan's question, Lawrence nodded.

There are indeed people who want to buy the work of Ana Armas.

"Yes, the price tag has already reached 20 million US dollars. As long as it is a theme like "Bostonians" or "The Strongest Surface" art exhibition, if it is the "Mask" series, the price will be slightly lower, and it will drop to 15 million. Around," Lawrence said.

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

Anna looked at Gao Fan in her usual expressionless state.

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

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

"Okay, let's find out if any of Anna's works meet the requirements, and then help her sell them for a good price. Anna's skills are not inferior to mine. Those guys, what you buy is what you earn." Gao Fan said to Lawrence.

ah?

Lawrence froze for a moment.

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

Isn't there any jealousy, embarrassment, and rejection?

This may mean that Lawrence will recommend Ana Armas as the representative painter of the Devil School in the future.

No matter how magnanimous Gao Fan is, he will be lost.

"Little brother, did you agree too quickly? This is not like you." Lawrence said.

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

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

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

Lawrence looked at Gao Fan's excited eyes and tone, and suddenly felt that he really didn't understand this little junior. The world of geniuses is really hard to understand!

...

Gao Fan is not without emotion.

He is very emotional.

But the emotion is not for others.

but to yourself.

He loathes dealing with a buyer's market, but that's certainly part of the objective makeup of his proving.

Capital is disgusting.

But that is one of the laws of modern social and economic operation. Before the red flag is planted all over the world, we have to get used to it.

It's not about money.

Gao Fan's money is enough for him to spend several lifetimes... Well, of course, the current speed of spending money is a bit too fast, and it is not enough to spend it at this speed, but Gao Fan's material requirements are almost equal to zero. As long as he can live, he can Just create.

It's about acknowledging yourself.

Gao Fan realized one thing, he was cornered by himself.

With the help of demon dye, he painted such magical works as "Bostonians".

So he raised his own standards to this point.

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

That may require two stages of painting skills 'distortion' and 'world' to reach full value.

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

The source of all this probably started with Lu Guoying's criticism of him that time, 'Perfection is compromise'.

The criticism of capital manipulation critics stems from Gao Fan's exorbitant social status, which is malicious and purposeful, and does not represent the truth, but Gao Fan will think the other way around, if he can create "Redemption" again, Then draw "Bostonians", not to mention 100 million US dollars, even 300 million or 500 million US dollars, and there will be a lot of people waving banknotes to ask him to buy it.

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

Even though the painting "Old Soldier" has reached the pinnacle of Gao Fan and Anna's skills, it is a masterpiece that can be handed down from generation to generation.

But the market, Anna, and Gao Fan are all dissatisfied. Their expectations for Gao Fan are not "handed down", but "legendary".

But legend, it's not easy.

It was not easy for Gao Fan either.

He didn't have bright dye, so he couldn't paint "Redemption".

Without infinite dye, there is no way to draw The Bostonians.

His skills have reached the level of the founding masters, but they may not be stronger than the masters of the 18th and 19th centuries, such as Picasso, Da Vinci, Monet, at least, the "microscopic" skills attached to Monet's brush , there are 50, Gao Fan's current strongest 'world' is only 40.

This made Gao Fan fall into self-doubt besides his optimism towards Lawrence and Anna.

So, he couldn't draw anymore.

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

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

Today, Laozi finally came back.

Inexplicably lost two chapters of the manuscript, next time I remember that I can’t use the background to directly code words, and the content of the three chapters becomes exactly the same with a backspace key, who can believe it? Merry Christmas everyone~ don't be unlucky like me
