"The guy who took my promotional photos? He's a photographer, and he has nothing to do with the painting and calligraphy circle."
Chu Qiao was even more confused. This circle is too complicated. What do Mei Jiuming and Chen Wei want to do?
Chen Wei was quite frank and didn't hide anything. She said, "Ian's father is an internationally renowned painter. He has several galleries under his name, and he is very famous abroad."
Only then did Chu Qiao understand and asked, "Mei Jiuming wants to sell his paintings abroad through Ian's father?"
"It is to go abroad to hold art exhibitions. As long as painters hold art exhibitions, they will become famous, and they will have high status when they are famous. This is the most effective way to avoid death." Chen Wei said sharply.
This was also the idea she gave to Mei Jiuming. Most of Ouyang Lin's disciples looked down on her, only Mei Jiuming was very polite to her, and there were many ideas between them that coincided with each other and cherished each other.
Chu Qiao nodded in agreement. Chen Wei's business philosophy is very correct. No wonder she managed Ouyang Lin so successfully in her previous life, but it's a pity. Marrying such an old man, I wonder if Chen Wei ever regretted it?
"How is Mei Jiuming's painting level? Although publicity and marketing are effective means, he has to be **** his own. If his painting is not good, even if he pulls hard, he won't be able to pull it up." Chu Qiao was a little curious about Mei Jiuming's painting ability.
Chen Wei thought for a while, and said eloquently: "The level cannot be said to be the top, but it is still very good. Among my husband's disciples, Mei Jiuming's level can be ranked in the top five, you may wonder why he is not famous, that is Because he doesn't like my husband."
"Why? I think Mr. Mei is handsome, handsome, young and promising. How could Master Ouyang not like it?" Chu Qiao was even more puzzled.
Chen Wei smiled and sneered, "Mei Jiuming's family background is not good, he is an orphan, and he was still wandering around begging for food before the age of fifteen, and he was either a regular art academy shot or a wild way, but he is very talented, so I My husband just accepted him as his apprentice, but Mei Jiuming has too many ideas and always wants to innovate, my husband doesn't like it."
Of course, the inside story is not that simple. Chen Wei didn't say much, and she was not too familiar with Chu Qiao, so it's not good to say too much.
In fact, the main reason is that Ouyang Lin's other disciples collectively crowded out Mei Jiuming. These disciples were either from famous families or from the Academy of Fine Arts, and belonged to the regular army. They naturally despised Mei Jiuming as a weed.
Chu Qiao frowned slightly, feeling that Ouyang Lin's idea was very problematic, and innovation could lead to development. Mei Jiuming was right, but he didn't meet a master who understood him.
"Even if he can get to know Ian's father through Bai Wei, he won't be able to sell his paintings for a while. What should he do with this gallery now? Why doesn't it close?" Chu Qiao was a little worried that this guy wouldn't be able to last.
I owe rent for half a year, and the economic situation is quite bad.
Chen Wei shrugged helplessly, "I also persuaded him to suspend business, but he didn't agree. He said he would find a way, so he wouldn't close anyway."
Chu Qiao understands Mei Jiuming a little bit. The gallery is his last stubbornness. If it closes, it means admitting failure, and there will definitely be a lot of rumors.
"Why is the gallery business so bad? What does Mr. Mei mainly paint?" Chu Qiao asked curiously.
She took a cursory look at the gallery just now. There are many types, but to be honest, she couldn't appreciate them, and she didn't want to pay for them.
"He is good at oil painting portraits, landscapes, etc., but he always likes to paint homeless people and beggars, as well as picking up junk, even landscape paintings, and he never paints historical sites, but destroyed farmland or forests. It's just... how do you say it, Jiu Ming's paintings are all unbeautiful things, and they don't give people a good feeling, you know what I mean?"
Chen Wei didn't know how to express it. She had persuaded Mei Jiuming before to paint some beautiful landscapes and beauties, which would be easier to sell. Jiu Ming was very stubborn, saying that it would not be his style if he changed it.
Chu Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly thought of a person.
A quite famous painter in his previous life, Ouyang Lin was only well-known in China. Actually, he was not very famous in the world, but this painter was well-known at home and abroad, and even more famous abroad.
And this painter never paints beauty. He paints the dark side of the world, and his style is very unique. I can't remember what Chu Qiao is called, but it should be Mei Jiuming.
There will never be a second such alternative painter.
She didn't expect that she would meet the down-and-out Mei Jiuming. This good relationship still has to be tied. Now let Mei Jiuming send her a few paintings, and it will flourish in the future.
"I think Mr. Mei's style is very characteristic. If he changes, it will not be him. He should persevere and not give up."
Chen Wei looked at her suspiciously, "You sound like Mei Jiuming will succeed. He has no confidence in himself."
Chu Qiao smiled, half-truth and half-truth: "Who knows what will happen in the future, I just think that it is rare for a painter to have his own style and cannot be easily changed."
Chen Wei sighed, "I know the truth, but if a painter is not famous, he will starve to death, without bread, and style is useless."
Just like Ouyang Lin, speaking of being a famous painter, in fact, he doesn’t have much money. Chen Wei now regrets it a little. If she knew she was so poor, she would not feel wronged and marry herself.
But now that he is on the pirate ship, he can only grit his teeth and insist, and earn money without money. With Ouyang Lin's fame, he can still operate.
Chu Qiao rolled her eyes and had an idea to form a good relationship with Mei Jiuming.
"I have a way to bring Mr. May's gallery back to life, but he has to listen to me."
"As long as you can really make the gallery turn a profit, Mei Jiuming is more obedient than your husband." Chen Wei made a joke, not too convinced that Chu Qiao really had a solution.
"There must be a way, it depends on whether he can let go of his figure~ Chu Qiao paused and said, "I just saw those paintings in his gallery. Before painting became famous, it was difficult to meet buyers. He should change it, do not paint by himself, and take the commercial route. "
"What's the way to go?"
Chen Wei was interested.
Chu Qiao smiled mysteriously, "Let Mei Jiuming come to me by himself, and commercial secrets cannot be disclosed casually."
She still wants to make some money from this, so she can't say it first.
Chen Wei didn't ask any more questions, and agreed to tell Mei Jiuming.
After the two finished drinking coffee, they separated. Chu Qiao went to the beauty shop and went home without any problems.
During dinner, Gu Ye came back excitedly, hugged Chu Qiao as soon as he entered the door, and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Daughter-in-law!"
"go away!"
Chu Qiao held a large plate of vegetables in his hands, steaming hot, and glared at him. The child was still there, and he didn't look like an adult.
Gu Ye laughed and said with a smile in her ear: "Old Sun agreed to buy 30 machine tools, and he will buy them in the future. His factory is doing very well, specializing in auto parts, and the supply is in short supply."
