Mei Jiuming was tempted, and asked dubiously, "You really won't interfere with my creation?"
"No, if Mr. Mei doesn't believe it, you can write this into the contract. I only need the right to operate the gallery. Of course, Mr. Mei's future marketing direction will also be decided by me. We are in business, Mr. Mei, you What we can have is creative freedom and personal freedom, and the gallery has to listen to me about other things, including who you are, and you can’t mess with it. I need my partners to be upright and positive, and not have a messy private life.”
Chu Qiao simply put it more bluntly. She wanted to package Mei Jiuming as a top-notch painter, because Mei Jiuming has good looks, a legendary and positive life experience, and the level of painting is quite OK. Three o'clock is enough hype.
Mei Jiuming in the previous life was also famous, but after a few decades, Mei Jiuming is getting old, and it is better to become famous as soon as possible.
Mei Jiuming on the other end of the phone was stunned and a little confused. Chu Qiao's words made him unable to accept it for a while. It was the first time he heard such an investment plan.
In the past, when the bosses asked him to invest, most of them asked him to be obedient. He had to paint whatever the boss asked him to paint, and he didn't ask for anything else, so Mei Jiuming naturally refused.
In order to insist on his creative style, he and his master had a deadlock. How could he compromise because of a little money?
Chu Qiao did the opposite. Instead of interfering with his creative style, he restricted him from engaging in objects. Could it be that this young lady of the Gu family wanted to engage in an arranged marriage and introduce him to objects?
"Miss Chu, do you want to introduce someone to me?"
Mei Jiuming asked carefully, and he had to ask clearly if there was anything, he couldn't get on the pirate ship for nothing.
"puff"
Chu Qiao couldn't help laughing, and jokingly said: "You think so beautifully, I don't care if you have a partner or not, singleism is fine, but if you have a partner, you can't mess around."
"What is messing about?" Mei Jiuming asked curiously.
Chu Qiao thought for a while, and then said in detail: "This is a long story. For example, you have an affair with a married woman..."
"Cough cough..."
From the microphone came the sound of Mei Jiuming's violent coughing. It seemed that he was quite frightened. Chu Qiao stopped talking. After a while, Mei Jiuming calmed down and panted: "I can't fuck, I'm not that kind of person."
"I'm making an analogy, don't be so excited, such as having an affair with a married woman, stepping on two boats, or even three, four, five or six, playing with female feelings, if you get married, you must be loyal to your marriage, not You can cheat in marriage, these are all prostitution."
Chu Qiao gave examples one by one. She needs a positive, sunny, upright and inspirational Mei Jiuming. This is the character she set up for Mei Jiuming, and it must be real, and the house must not collapse.
"Never."
Mei Jiuming's tone was firm. He felt that Chu Qiao was thinking too much. His schedule was very tight. In addition to painting, he taught students, and then he was running galleries. He even rejected a lot of activities arranged by the school. How could it be possible? Have time to fuck?
"Don't be so full of words, I'm also saying something ugly. By the way, there is one more important point. You can't mess with men. Foreigners are very enlightened about this, but it's definitely not possible in China. Even if you like men, It must also be hidden in your heart, and you can’t do it secretly, unless you don’t want to mix in the country.”
Chu Qiao remembered another very important thing, and almost forgot that Mei Jiuming seemed to have been single in his previous life, and there was no scandal at all. There were many gossips saying that he was gay, but it was not confirmed.
Regardless of whether Mei Jiuming has an orientation in that regard, it is better to clarify the ugly words first.
The sound of the teacup falling to the ground came from the microphone, followed by a series of banging sounds. Mei Jiuming didn't speak. It was estimated that he was busy cleaning up the mess. The poor man was too stimulated.
Chu Qiao touched her nose, would she be too straightforward?
It should be a little more euphemistic, after all, it's only the 1980s.
Mei Jiuming was busy on the ground and managed to clean it up. Just now, he gasped for breath and knocked over the teacup. When picking up the teacup, he knocked over the easel again, and spilled paint and pens on the ground. The ground is now in a mess.
It's... so shocking.
This Mrs. Gu Shao was speechless and died endlessly. Fortunately, he had a strong heart and was barely able to accept it.
"Miss Chu, I don't have any hobbies in that area, don't worry." Mei Jiuming wasn't angry, so it was good to say it this way.
"All in all, the character I set for you is an excellent young painter who is positive, upright, sunny and inspirational. Even if no one is staring at you, you have to ask yourself according to this character, and I will write these into the contract. If you violate the , you have to pay me money, the amount is definitely not small."
Hearing Chu Qiao's sweet and cold voice, Mei Jiuming twitched the corners of his mouth. How could he feel that he was a Qinglou oiran who was clearly priced and waiting to be sold?
"Miss Chu, what do you mean by character design? I'm just drawing, you're making it a bit complicated."
"Personality is the literal meaning, and it is also the propaganda direction I set for you. You are a painter, but you need to become famous, and you need more people to know you. With fame, you can make a lot of money. Before you become famous , I need to spend money to publicize and hype you, so that people all over the world know you and like you, and then you can hold an international touring art exhibition, and there will be an endless stream of people looking to buy your paintings. Doing interviews on TV shows and being an idol for a lot of people.”
Chu Qiao said it in one breath, took a rest, and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Mei Jiuming was silent for a long time. He heard it very clearly. In fact, there was a little resistance in his heart. Chu Qiao really regarded him as a commodity, and sold it at a high price after exquisite packaging.
In his heart, painting is a very sacred thing that cannot be compared with money.
But the reality is very cruel. Without money, you can't buy paints and painting tools. The paints and painting tools you prefer are very expensive~ So the painters who are not famous are very poor. question.
"I want to know, why did Miss Chu choose me? There are many better painters than me in China." Mei Jiuming wanted to know the reason.
"Because you are the best looking."
Chu Qiao is also very straightforward. He is much better at painting than Mei Jiuming, but he is not as handsome as Mei Jiuming. No matter what industry, good-looking people are always more attractive, especially in the profession of an artist.
Mei Jiuming's appearance was born to be an artist. His gloomy and handsome appearance, and his rough life and experience made him feel sad even when he smiled happily.
Such a man is too lucrative and the wives like it, and they must be willing to spend a lot of money on paintings.
If Mei Jiuming was an ordinary-looking man, Chu Qiao would definitely not invest, and it was not because she had too much money and nowhere to spend it.
Mei Jiuming laughed helplessly, and in the end, he had to rely on this face to eat.
Obviously he is very talented.
