Wall Street Legend

Chapter 153 Current Situation (13)

The Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris is located on the left bank of the Seine. It was founded in 1796 and is one of the four major art academies in the world. Xu Beihong and Wu Guanzhong studied painting techniques at this school. Needless to say, it is famous. One of the top palaces among painting creators.

Ye Dongqing doesn't know much about these things. He is a big boss. No one has taught him how to appreciate things since he was a child. When he sees a certain piece of art, it is only divided into four levels: good-looking, average, not good-looking, and ugly. Regardless of what others impose. The various "connotation", "fame", "history" and other factors in the work are actually the soul of art creation, and a word "beautiful" runs through the entire art river.

It was not only Picasso who was disgusted by him, but also art masters such as Piet Mondrian and Henri Matisse. There was no doubt about their fame, but it was difficult for people to like their messy works. Ye Dongqing felt that if he gave himself two After three days of practice, I can draw such "artwork" myself.

For example, there is no need to learn anything about Piet Mondrian's various solid color squares. Given a ruler, a normal person can produce similar works, not to mention de Kooning's "Women" which sold for a sky-high price. , it will only make people unappetizing after seeing it, not as good as those solid color squares.

Before seeing Miss Maxi's works, Ye Dongqing was worried that she was like those lunatics. However, after entering the studio and seeing those works, she realized that her worries were obviously unnecessary.

The small studio was not big, only about twenty square meters, and it was kept quite clean. The oil brushes and paints were neatly placed, and the works were just like Miss Mahi herself, which made him feel comfortable.

A bright flamingo oil painting composed of pink, white, and black is hung in it. It is about one meter square and has a pleasant color. Next to it is a colorful painting composed of countless flowers and green leaves intertwined with no figures. The themes of the works are all landscapes and objects. The tiger's head looks like an ink painting, which looks very realistic. Next to it hangs a painting of the Harbor Island landscape in which the beach appears pink. The large area is full of bright colors.

"Wow, I don't know what to say anymore. They surprised me. They are much better than I expected. I like these types of oil paintings." Ye Dongqing said.

"Really like it?"

"Of course, if I hang them in the dining room, I can at least have one more bowl of rice and it will be comfortable to look at."

"Haha! According to what you said, I should specialize in painting for those with anorexia. Thank you for your compliment. I am currently practicing diluting the paint to give the work the hazy beauty of traditional Chinese paintings. Someone has tried it before. , and now many Western illustrators are trying it.

These two pop-style oil paintings are my previous works. When I first entered school, I was crazy about the painting style of Mr. Li Qidenstein. It felt like a cartoon, right? "

Miss Mahi opened the sunshade and showed two other oil paintings to Ye Dongqing. They were painted with a group of little monsters and the two protagonists in "Tom and Jerry". The contrast between the colors was so strong that Ye Dongqing was inexplicably attracted to those fat and fat people. The little green monster was so cute that he couldn't laugh or cry: "It's different from the styles on the wall, but it's also very interesting. I finally understand why you studied this major. You are indeed quite talented."

Mahi sighed and said: "When I was a few years old, I accompanied my friend to learn painting. Later, I persisted and she gave up very early."

"So how many years have you studied in total?"

"Thirteen years, it started with sketches and stuff, but I rarely draw them now. I will show you my old sketches when I have the opportunity. The ones with very good model figures."

"Okay, so have you signed up with a gallery or something? They can help you promote your works. If you are willing, I want to package and buy them all."

"Are you serious? I don't plan to sign a contract with a gallery recently because I don't want to see my work criticized by others, at least not until graduation. In fact, my father has thought about asking friends to help me promote it. Maybe if I Once he becomes famous, he will have more face in front of his friends.”

"For Chinese people, it's normal to save face. I still remember that when my father was still alive, he would even rent a nice Porsche to take me to my friend's birthday party.

I'm serious. I can sign the check now. Maybe when you become famous, you can make a fortune from these works. I don't have any art on the walls of my house yet. They will add a lot of color to the house."

************

Zhao Liuli has a mobile phone and occasionally contacts Laura one-way.

Ye Dongqing didn't know that he had been betrayed by the girl unintentionally. After learning the news that he had come to Europe, Laura originally wondered whether he would come to London to find her. Unfortunately, as the day passed, there was no movement on her phone. There is no illusion now.

Born in a chaotic family, her mother had instilled many bad ideas into Laura from a very young age, through words and deeds, so much so that she had recently begun to worry about whether she was too casual at the time. After all, what she couldn't get was the best. good.

Not to mention how sad she was, she was definitely disappointed. In fact, after she came to London on impulse, she already wanted to go back to New York. The friend who invited her to London when she was growing up had gradually lost herself, and even asked Laura to help her move from the United States. They brought "tobacco" to the UK, saying they were doing business together.

Her paranoid thoughts were so paranoid that Laura decisively and unilaterally cut off contact with her old friends, and moved to an ordinary hotel to temporarily live in. She saw little hope for the future and had no family to rely on.

That night I bought some wine and hid in my room, drinking and crying. Suddenly I missed the time I spent staying at Ye Dongqing's house.

Although that guy is a bit too carefree, at least he doesn't have to worry about anything. He goes to the company to help out every day, learns how to cook and clean, etc. At least he won't be confused.

After all, she was still a young girl who had just left school. It was normal to be confused. Miss Maxi’s family helped her solve her worries, while Laura could only rely on herself most of the time. Fortunately, she made some money after meeting Ye Dongqing. There is no need to worry about livelihood.

After crying, she felt that it would be embarrassing to go back at this time. Her idea of ​​finishing college in the UK has not wavered. Laura wanted to become an outstanding woman, not only for her ideals, but also to let Ye Dongqing, a guy who didn't save her, have a better future in the future. To feel regretful and to say angry is to be more or less angry.

In the business world, Ye Dongqing is like a fish in water, but it has to be said that Ye Dongqing is in a complete mess when it comes to relationships. It was like this before, and it is also like this this time. Unlike an elderly bachelor, who desperately wants to grab the straw that drowns him, leaving him with very little room for choice. Big, so never feel the need to rush into a decision.

He is only nineteen years old this year, and there is still a long way to go.
