"My mother's gallery sells paintings on demand. With all due respect, Xu Zixuan is not well known, so I'm afraid her works will be difficult to sell."
Meimei told the truth, it was not aimed at these two people.
Most of the works sold by Yan Xinya Gallery are the works of famous painters. This is called a gimmick. When the artist is famous, the customer will pay for it. Generally speaking, no one is willing to pay for the works of an unknown painter.
Unless the painting is really good, people who know the goods will be willing to pay if they see the potential of this painter.
But... this kind of encounter is hard to come by, and I can't meet a customer like this all year round.
Xu Zixuan herself still has spiritual energy, but in her current state, her feet are disabled and haggard, and she is worried about her livelihood every day, and her state is extremely poor.
Jiang Zhiru smiled awkwardly. The frequency of rubbing his hands was getting faster and faster. He had run a gallery himself. Of course, he knew that Meimei was telling the truth. There are countless painters like Xu Zixuan in Kyoto. They are more talented and famous than her, and even more so. countless.
Before looking for Meimei, Jiang Zhiru also found some friends who ran galleries, but those friends politely refused. In desperation, he thought of coming to Meimei, hoping that she could look at the friendship in the past and give him some face.
But - still rejected!
Jiang Zhiru's heart is cold and cold, and the heavy life has completely defeated this arrogant arrogant in the past, and he can't live any longer. What qualifications do he have!
She frowned slightly and said, "If Xu Zixuan really wants to make money, I suggest her to paint commercial paintings. If she is interested, you can go to the gallery to find Manager Liu. The rules are the same as everyone else's, just say I asked you to find them. ."
Jiang Zhiru was overjoyed, "Thank you..."
Of course, he is clear about commercial painting. Although for painters, painting such a painting is a kind of helpless move, but making money is the most important thing at the moment, and he has to paint no matter how helpless he is.
His friends were reluctant to hand over even commercial paintings to Xu Zixuan. Jiang Zhiru was already in despair, but he didn't expect that the willows would be dark and flowers would be bright.
Meimei smiled and said goodbye and left.
The business of Yan Xinya Gallery is very prosperous. Most of the clients are from the south and abroad. The bids are very good. Of course, the requirements are relatively high. It is difficult for painters with limited skills to satisfy the clients, so Yan Xinya has been looking for young people during this period of time. With the cooperation of painters, Xu Zixuan's skills are no problem. Letting her paint can not only solve the difficulties in her life with Jiang Zhiru, but also help the gallery.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Why is she not happy?
only--
"I don't want to paint... those paintings are soulless..."
After Jiang Zhiru returned home talked to Xu Zixuan about painting commercial paintings, but met with strong opposition.
Xu Zixuan's reaction was great, she was unwilling to paint soulless commercial paintings, she felt it was an insult to her.
Jiang Zhiru didn't expect life to be so difficult, Xu Zixuan was still so ignorant, he was so angry that he was always good-natured, and scolded him with a sullen face: "It's okay if you don't paint, I only have a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month, and I can't afford it. You buy famous brands and cosmetics, we will eat porridge and side dishes in the future, and don't buy clothes!"
...
Three days later, gallery manager Liu called Meimei to ask for instructions, asking how to treat Xu Zixuan.
"You don't need to be treated specially. Like other painters, if you don't paint well, you will leave." Meimei said lightly.
