Zou Heming laughed and said on the other end of the phone: "What's not clear about this! If you need it, you have to pay, not to mention that we are still in hot demand now! The result of my negotiation is almost this price, and the others Conditions remain unchanged, the annual salary has increased by 20%, to 1.2 million US dollars per year! Now only the Softby family has agreed to it. They still want to struggle with the annual salary issue, but they won't be able to earn it for long. If you want to sign with other two companies, then give me another week, we are not in a hurry!" When Fang Yi heard what Zou Heming said, he knew the hidden meaning in the words. Zou Heming wanted him to go to Softby, which he had always cooperated with. When he thought of this, Fang Yi nodded directly and said: "That's Softby. !¡±. Fang Yi doesn¡¯t have such a bad feeling about the world¡¯s No. 1 film maker. In fact, it¡¯s Softby who should be dissatisfied, because it¡¯s Fang Yi and not Softby who has been let down in Taiwan. "Well, that's how I replied to Walder. Now he will call me whenever he is free. He can call me two or three times a day. He can talk to me for a while by asking about the case and other things " Zou Heming said to Fang Yi in a somewhat long-winded way. Although he kept talking about Wald's several harassing calls a day, Fang Yi knew that Zou Heming was still very proud of having the manager of the world's number one auction house chasing after him and sending money. Many gallery owners Both the manager and the manager will feel a little complacent like this. "Okay! Stop showing off. The whole circle knows your interests now!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said cheerfully to his old friend on the other side of the phone: "You'd better pay good attention to the new people in China you want to sign. Bar". "I already know this question," Zou Heming said. After speaking, he paused and asked Fang Yi, "I heard that the three of you are planning to hold a painting competition in China?". "You have a very good nose. You will know this is an idea!" Fang Yi joked to Zou Heming after hearing this. Zou Heming laughed at himself: He is a businessman! Then he asked Fang Yi: "If you start quickly, you should start too slowly. I just want to ask if Chinese cultural companies can participate?" Fang Yi started to push Tai Chi directly: "Don't ask me this question. You have to ask Zhang Xu and Li Lin, and I'm afraid I won't know until the painting is taken." "Okay, I'll call them later!" Zou Heming opened his mouth and said after hearing this. Fang Yi hurriedly advised: "It's better to hit you tomorrow when you are busy. I'm afraid these two boys have fallen on the bed and just slept for a long time!". The two chatted a few more words about domestic matters before hanging up the phone. Fang Yi went online and picked up a pencil to draw some of the most memorable characters of the day, which were sketches and the like. As soon as Zou Heming hung up the phone, he dialed Walder. Tell Walder about Fang Yi's decision to sign a contract with Sofoby. Put down the phone. Walder couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then he let go of what he had been holding on to. When things turned out as he hoped, Walder took out a small box of cigars from the drawer under his desk. Step by step, I clicked comfortably. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ This made Walder feel that things were changing. And the mood is like a roller coaster. What's so exciting is that Fang Yi is the one who brought him such a life of 'water and body'. Now this hate ghost cannot be offended, not only cannot be offended, but at least it will be provided for a year or two at this time. As for the limelight, it is necessary to say it separately. To be honest, Wald said in his heart that he had thousands of reasons not to have anything to do with Fang Yi, let alone spend 1.2 million a year to hire a staff member who could hardly be considered as 'doing things'. But now even if Sofoby doesn't hire him, Christen and Phipps will hire him with the money in their hands. Sometimes it¡¯s not about whether people can do things. Sometimes people who don't do anything have their uses, just like Fang Yi now. The importance of reputation to Softby is not only clear to Walder, but also to his competitors. Since there seem to be only two options before Wald, either he obediently pays to hire Fang Yi, or he waits for the other two companies to hire him and then uses Fang Yi as a spear to attack Sophoby. This outcome is very likely to happen. Nine Wald was about to follow Wright's footsteps, pack up his things and leave the current office. Countless times when no one was around, Walder made countless moves in his mind to sign Fang Yi's other two film studios. Don't even use the most straightforward attacks, tell him directly or in the media. Buy a page to publish news on the Internet. As long as you sign Fang Yi, you can publish it in the news.?Introducing Fang Yi¡¯s ¡®ability¡¯, of course the reference point for Fang Yi¡¯s ability is the incompetent Sophoby. What will be Sotheby¡¯s impression in the public¡¯s eyes at that time? Incompetent signing agency? Or an unscrupulous auctioneer? Anyway, it is definitely not what the old guys on the board of directors want to see. This is what Walder doesn¡¯t want and doesn¡¯t want to see! Therefore, for Wald, hiring Fang Yi is not the most willing result for Wald, but it is the best result. "It's better to finalize the matter as soon as possible first!" After Wald finished smoking his cigar, Wald subconsciously wanted to press the transponder on his desk, but when he stretched out his hand and couldn't find the transponder, he realized that he was still at home. The sky is not bright yet, but there is a little light. Walder stood up from the chair in his study room and looked at the weather outside his window. While looking at it, he smoked the cigar in his hand and looked at the sky outside the window in a trance. At this time, even Walder himself did not know what he was thinking. something. As a scourge in the eyes of Walder and the Softby staff, Fang Yi's life was quite in line with the standard of a scourge. After finishing the painting, he fell asleep when it was time to go to bed, and he was on time at just over four hours. Waking up at a time when most people are still having the sweetest sleep of the day. I ran for a bit of exercise. When we arrived at the Tony Museum, it happened to be five minutes to half past eight, which was exactly the time when the museum staff went to work. And this time. Tony had just gotten off his car and saw Fang Yi standing at the entrance of the museum and immediately greeted him happily. Tony tucked the bag he was carrying under his arm, then took off the gloves on his hand and stretched out his hand to Fang Yi: "You came here so early, I thought you said the opening time was right. It¡¯s time for the public launch!¡± Fang Yi smiled after hearing this, and while holding hands with Tony, he thought to himself: When I came to Italy, I stayed in a hotel with no easel and almost nothing. I could only draw a sketch, and I couldn't go to major museums. Where could I go if I didn't come here earlier? I thought so in my heart but said: "Come here early and take a look at the paintings in your museum! See if you still have some outstanding works in your collection!". What he said can be described as typical duplicity. But Tony obviously had no interest in delving into this issue. He raised his hand with a smile on his face and made a gesture of invitation. He took Fang Yi and walked towards the museum. When they arrived at Tony's office, the female assistant helped them get something to drink. After taking a short break, Tony took Fang Yi and started to visit. Soon. Fang Yi stood in front of the statue of the Virgin. This Madonna statue was the one Fang Yi saw for the first time in Mingzhu. It was said to be a work by Tintoretto, but in fact it was a fake work. Fang Yi stood in front of the work and looked at it for three or four minutes. Tony felt a little strange and asked Fang Yi, "What's wrong?". "It's nothing!" Fang Yi turned to look at Tony and said, this work looked 99% similar to Fang Yi's before, but now he has improved to the master level. When I saw this work again, the similarity had only dropped a little. It became 98%. This level of fraud really made Fang Yi not sure how to evaluate it. As Fang Yi's own level gets higher and higher, the scores of imitations that he could distinguish in the past are getting lower and lower. For example, the similarity that he has seen is 95%, and now it is not even 80%. It may not be possible, but this one has only dropped by one percent! How could Fang Yi not be surprised! Now Fang Yi is looking for the different 2% on the entire painting. This 2% is very difficult to find because the anonymous person who imitated the painting barely left any signatures or marks. This painting If it weren't for the obvious suggestion in Fang Yi's mind that the work was a forgery, Fang Yi would have undoubtedly believed it to be the original. The quality of the imitation is just like the work I painted and collected in the Louvre. Some people think that imitating paintings is a criminal act that degrades one's status, but when Fang Yi looked at the Tintoretto imitation in front of him, he didn't feel the derogatory connotation of being a liar, but felt that he could imitate the work. In this way, the imitator himself must not only be an artist but also a polymath and a knowledgeable person, because the person who imitates a work has to consider far more than the person who created it. For example, if you want to imitate Leonardo da Vinci's works, you need to know that Da Vinci painted on walnut boards. If you want to obtain this wood, you can get it from old Renaissance furniture. You also need to know that when walnut wood is cut down After the next fifty years, it will be impossible to tell the age. You also know Leonardo da Vinci¡¯s painting methods and habits. He always took the trouble to paint eight layers on the walnut board.Bottom. Then you paint on a white background. You also need to know that sometimes Leonardo da Vinci used his left hand to paint some things. "When you understand these things, it is not the end. You also need to know that in works that have been washed away by the long river of history, there will always be turtle cracks, which are spider web-like cracks that will form on oil paintings due to drying. You also need to know that the cracks carved in the imitation must be natural and uniform. It is also important to know that in each crack and gap, the color from the edge of the gap to the bottom of the gap is different, because it not only has the deposition of time, but also some fine dust and so on. You also need to know that works with historical traces will show green spots under ultraviolet light, and such spots are considered impossible to forge by appraisers. In fact, as long as your skills are high enough, such a class point can be forged. Dongfang Yi knew when he was forging these things that it was because he had a standard and a criterion of judgment in his mind. As long as he reached ninety-five or above and took it out, how could the person who imitated this work do it? Did it? Fang Yi had no way of getting it, and it was precisely because of this that Fang Yi felt that the greatness of this work was not due to Tintoretto, but to this unknown imitator. Watching Fang Yi keep staring at this work, Tony became more and more nervous the longer he said nothing. His eyes turned on the painting and Fang Yi's face from time to time, very afraid that Fang Yi would reveal the works in his museum. It's imitation. The last time the three of them were together with Michael, Fang Yi pointed out the mistakes in his library. Now it would be really nice to have another one. "Great work!" Fang Yi looked at this work for half an hour, and Tony was worried for more than 20 minutes before he heard Fang Yi say this. With this sentence, Tony put his heart back. "It is indeed a great work!" Tony nodded and said, but he did not expect that what Fang Yi said about greatness was completely opposite to what Tony meant! (To be continued)
