Chapter 183 Such a big studio is given to you
Yang Chengzhang was not standing at the door.
Li Yan called Master in confusion. As soon as he got up, he respectfully shouted:
"Master!"
It scared Yang Chengzhang on the other end of the phone. "Ouch".
"You kid, you kept me waiting."
"Where are you waiting?"
"I've seen you."
Li Yan was everywhere Looking around, Yang Chengzhang was still nowhere to be seen.
“Across the road, there are floor-to-ceiling glass windows, do you see them?”
Apparently he saw Yang Chengzhang waving to him by the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Uh...Master, where do you go up?"
Yang Chengzhang in the window was happy when he heard Li Yan calling him master, "There is an entrance next to the stationery shop downstairs, come in It's on the second floor. "
Next door to the stationery store... the so-called entrance is a black-framed glass door with metal spray-painted letters on the door:
New Taipei Musheng Art Research Institute.
He had passed Xiaopang before and always thought they were doing flower arrangements. He even wondered if this thing was a public institution?
Although the entrance glass door is small, the space inside is quite large - in fact, it can also be seen from the exterior facade that this place was probably an old factory before. It was renovated and rented as an education and training center and some small businesses. The company's office.
The advertisement for the education and training center was still there, but the building was empty. Li Yan knocked on the mahogany door on the other side.
The person who opened the door was a familiar person, a man with long hair, beret, and small glasses wearing a scarf - cartoonist Cao Xinshuo.
“Painter Cao, hello, hello.”
Cao Xinshuo was very surprised that Li Yan remembered him, and stretched out his slender fingers to shake hands with this magical young man.
"Teacher Yang is waiting for you in the room, come with me."
As soon as he entered the door, Li Yan found that there were six people sitting inside, either chatting at the computer or looking at their mobile phones. Stop talking, there are two others who are selecting the large paintings that have been packaged.
“The person responsible for contacting the gallery for Teacher Yang’s paintings is considered a small company.” Cao Xinshuo said with a smile.
“Is it the New Taipei Musheng Art Institute?”
"It used to be this name. At that time, there were still a few seniors who would come to exchange some academic things."
"What about now?"
"One of the seniors passed away last year. They We won’t get together for the time being.” Cao Xinshuo’s voice was very soft, “This game was originally organized by the senior.”
As they spoke, the two walked through the company’s workstations and walked around the store. The warehouse where Teacher Yang's paintings were kept came to a room with a huge wooden door.
“You go in, I won’t.”
Li Yan pushed the door open and entered the room. What he saw was a large shelf filled with various painting tools, paintings hanging all over the wall, several painting tables, easels and chairs of different sizes.
Although only one wall has floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the light transmission effect is excellent.
There is no doubt that this is a studio, a very high-end one.
"Li Yan, how do you feel about this place?"
"It's big, everything is neatly arranged, and the atmosphere is good."
Yang Chengzhang smiled and showed the crow's feet that could hold the paper, and pointed to the top of his head, "This lamp has a suspended ceiling. The light is soft, and the light scatters pure white without affecting the color perception."
He pointed to both sides again. , "It is also equipped with some flexibly adjustable spotlights for viewing paintings or eliminating shadows."
Li Yan nodded, "That's great."
"And these curtains ," Yang Chengzhang reached out and shook it, and he could clearly feel the thickness of the velvet-textured curtains. "If you think it's noisy outside, just close it, but the floor-to-ceiling windows are originally made of soundproof glass, and I don't like it to be too quiet. "
Li Yan stood in front of a painting table and opened the drawer. It was also filled with painting tools.
But... "Master, why are these things so new? Aren't you painting here?"
"I'm not here. This was originally a warehouse."
"Then?"
“This is your studio.”
Li Yan, who was accustomed to rejecting snacks from her classmates, reflexively said, “No, no, no, no”...
etc? mine? studio?
"It's close to your school, so I just took advantage of the winter vacation to give you a fix." Li Yan's first reaction was "There is no free lunch in the world."
"I'll give you the key. You can come here to draw at any time in the future. All materials are free. If it's not enough, just tell me, or tell Xiao Cao."< br>
I’m sorry, Master, I’m trying to judge a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s heart.
"You are still young and have a long flowering period. I will come over occasionally. Come over when you have time and draw together for a while. If you are interested in comics, tell Xiao Cao and I will let him guide you."
"Thank you, Master!" Li Yan was very moved and couldn't help but salute.
“Okay, okay,” Yang Chengzhang laughed, “It’s nothing, it didn’t cost much to decorate this place.”
This doesn’t look like a small amount of money. It can be done...as long as you have the money.
But since seeing the prices of Yang Chengzhang's paintings at auction last time, Li Yan has no doubts about it.
"Master, those people outside..."
"Some children who are interning and graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts," Yang Chengzhang walked up to Li Yan and patted Li Yan's shoulders with both hands, "These are the things I saw at the Academy of Fine Arts. My child, no one has your spirituality.”
It’s not good to be praised by others, Master, why is it me? That's okay.
“Are they the ones in charge of the auction?” Li Yan tried his best to sound like he was out of pure curiosity rather than blinded by money.
Although what he was really curious about was the hundreds of thousands that could be exchanged for one painting.
While pursuing art, you can definitely receive the goods, and you can also exchange rice. The exchange is not just ordinary rice. Who can refuse this!
“They just help me contact them,” Yang Chengzhang did not object to Li Yan talking about this topic. “The paintings will be displayed in the gallery first, and some buyers will buy them on the spot. There may also be other galleries. , the exhibition hall is willing to finance the purchase or rental, and sometimes the gallery will package and promote the paintings that are highly desired for purchase, and hand them over to the auction company. "
"Why don't you contact the auction company yourself? "
Yang Chengzhang raised his eyebrows, "It's not impossible, but even I have to admit the influence of famous galleries."
Li Yan didn't quite understand, after all, he No formal contact yet.
"Your master can barely afford the title of a 'famous painter' in China, but in the calligraphy and painting auction market, this name is not famous enough. Art auction is a special thing, and I can't stand at the auction site to explain it to everyone. What’s great about this painting is that it’s ruined.” Yang Chengzhang touched a painting hanging on the wall, “Auctioning and collecting are one percent for love and ninety-nine percent for fame and fortune.”< br>
“So a gallery with a good reputation is like a trustworthy and powerful intermediary? It also promotes paintings?”
“You kid,” Yang Chengzhang pretended to be angry, “Don’t think about it. Come on, keep painting. The Red Dragon Gallery will come to collect the paintings in a while. I will take you to meet him.”
“Red Dragon Gallery?”
“In terms of overall strength, it is the No. 1 gallery in the country. There is no dispute." Yang Chengzhang stroked his artistic hair, "They are very impressive. I introduced Xiao Cao to them before, but they refused directly."
Damn it, Master, why don’t you activate your face fruit ability?
"Then I..."
"You are my closed disciple! No matter what, I am also the most famous painter in Linjiang. We and the gallery complement each other. Can he sell it? I’m a thin man?”
It really started.
However, Li Yan always had a feeling that his master especially liked to show off his status in front of him.
Maybe he praised too little? Make Master feel that he lacks confidence in front of this talented apprentice?
“That’s amazing, Master!”
This was a sweet and heartfelt compliment that made Yang Chengzhang burst into laughter.
"Oh, by the way," he looked at the time, "we talked for too long at once and delayed your class."
"I don't have to go back, uh... I should have a choice. Go back at any time.”
"Huh?" Yang Chengzhang said in surprise, "You don't have to go to class?"
"You don't have to."
I've never heard of it.
"You, Teacher Guo, must not come to trouble me." Yang Chengzhang smiled.
“No need, I made a deal with the school.”
"?"
"I have proven to the school that attending classes is of little significance to me. As long as I can continue to maintain full marks in all subjects, they will not care about my business."
"Tsk ," Yang Chengzhang's eyes twitched, "Your status among junior high school students in Linjiang Province is almost the same as your master's status among Linjiang painters..."
"I'm so awesome, okay. "Master, let's paint, shall we?"
Yang Chengzhang looked at Li Yan who was starting to take painting tools around, and suddenly he wanted to take a puff of a cigarette.
"Tan Li, Tan Li, you are right, this kid is really difficult to teach..."
