Yangli had a whim and asked excitedly, "Dad, how about opening our own gallery?"
Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this problem. They all looked at Ye Zhen.
Only Liu Hai smiled and ye really agreed. Isn't it a brain disease?
Ye Zhen sighed, "if you want to open a gallery, you have to have two preconditions. First, your father is just a painter and doesn't do anything else. Second, your father's painting is the level of Chinese oil painters. Then you'll have no problem doing so."
Yangli asked curiously, "Dad, you're not a doctor. You can't draw specially?"
Liu Hai smiled with a narrow look in his eyes.
Ye Zhen touched his nose and sighed, "painting is too lonely."
"Lonely?" they thought so. It was really lonely to stay in the studio all day.
Liu Hai looked at Yangli's expression and finally said a sentence: "uncle said lonely. I'm the peak and can't find an opponent."
Ah? Everyone was surprised!
Yang Li asked strangely, "have you seen my father's paintings?"
"I haven't seen it before. My uncle said so clearly and guessed it." Liu Hai smiled casually.
But Yan felt Liu Hai's edge. Yang Li didn't know what level her father was, but he knew it only by guessing?
Che Yaozhuang listened to Chen Yifei's evaluation of her husband's painting. She was not surprised, but was also shocked by Liu Hai's amazing judgment.
Yangli asked Liu Hai excitedly, "do you say opening a gallery makes money?"
"Who does it? In any industry with high profits, there will be an influx of profit seeking capital, which will inevitably lead to the equalization of profits. Therefore, in my eyes, there is no difference in any industry, whether it is steel or high technology, sunset industry or sunrise industry. The key is who does it and how to do it.
If you must open a gallery, Gao guxuan is an example. To be the first in the industry, you must have two elements. First, you should have excellent vision and be able to judge whether any painter's work has a future.
Second, we should have a keen sense of the market. We should be able to grasp and control demand. Gao guxuan's talent is the highest, and his success is not accidental. Therefore, Yangli, you can't imitate it. "
Yangli was not angry, but smiled and asked, "what if you do it?"
"It's hard for a wise man to find a way. I won't work in a gallery. Besides, there are many opportunities to make money than a gallery. Gao guxuan makes money too slowly." Liu Hai's school is calm.
But Yan was shocked. Gao guxuan gallery was founded by Gao guxuan. It is the first in the industry. Is it too slow to make money?
But everyone felt that Liu HaiGan talked so loudly in front of Ye Zhen. Only this self-confidence was enough to prove his strength.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "there is an essential difference between Chinese galleries and American galleries. I wonder if you have noticed that Chinese paintings are priced by foot?"
Keyan asked in surprise, "aren't western countries?"
"Joke." ye Zhenbai glanced at her: "can art be sold by foot?"
Ke Yan said angrily, "no matter how the ruler calculates the price?"
"Alas, you are hopeless. Those who engage in high technology have no artistic cells." Ye Zhen turned away from her.
But Yan was just close to him. She gave him a punch in protest across Menglian.
Liu Hai explained:
"Ke Yan, what my uncle means is that China is a speculative market and the United States is an investment market; people who buy paintings in China are selling at a high price and making money through speculation, so we need to clarify the rules of speculation; while people who buy paintings in the United States are people who know paintings, collectors are the main body, how can people who know paintings buy paintings by yardstick? It depends on the artistic value of your paintings."
Che Yaozhuang was shocked. She didn't understand. Liu Hai said so thoroughly. The gap is really too big.
But Yan was instantly transparent and said with admiration on her face, "Liu Hai, I think you are more pleasing to the eye than brother ye now."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Ye Zhen then said to Liu Hai:
"Have you ever thought about what will happen if you set the price by the ruler? Assuming that the market value of Yangli's painting is 50 thousand feet, why not enlarge it to 12 feet? Choosing the size of the painting in order to make money must reduce the artistic value of the painting.
In the American market, painters are painters. Promotion and sales should be the matter of signing a contract with the gallery. However, in the Chinese market, painters do everything. If the gallery hypes up the artist's reputation, the painter must terminate cooperation and sell his own paintings. Does he still have the energy to draw?
If you sell well, you can make up for the number. Fine works are collected by yourself and wait for appreciation. There are countless speculative short-sighted acts. Therefore, Chinese galleries have little value to participate in. At least there is no possibility of huge profits. If you want to make money, you have to sell my paintings, but, oh. "
Ye Zhen suddenly shut up and everyone suddenly remembered Che Junmo.
Ye Zhen had just vowed to give his cousin a chance, but he slipped his tongue at this time, and everyone burst into laughter.
Che Yao smiled and said, "husband, it's okay. You're right."
Liu Hai sighed in his heart. Ye really didn't take this cousin to heart at all. In the twinkling of an eye, he could forget this man.
Ye Zhen smiled, "wife, I really give my cousin a chance, but I don't think he can have an advantage."
"How much does he drive?" Yangli asked immediately with interest.
"A painting of four million yuan is similar to that of Wang Zhongjun." Ye Zhen sighed.
But Yan asked, "how much is it worth?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's worth four million, so my cousin has a chance." Ye Zhen said seriously.
Everyone gave him a white eye.
Yangli asked another question: "Dad, does the gallery only make money by signing a contract with a painter?"
"Of course not. Those directly dealing with painters, whether agents or consignments, belong to the primary market. There are also secondary markets. Those dealing with collectors are almost like pure commercial speculation.
In the United States, agency and consignment are the main business methods of the gallery. For artists who act as agents, the gallery will launch carefully planned exhibitions, and be responsible for the artist's creative career and provide living expenses.
The relationship between their galleries and painters is not only the sales of works, but also the growth side by side and deep friendship. Often a successful gallery owner has to play four roles: agent, investor, consultant and friend. "
But Yan asked, "how do you divide the sales revenue?"
"The most common thing is to divide five into five. But there are exceptions. If the painter spends a lot of materials, he can get six and the gallery gets four; if the gallery investment in publicity is too large, he can also get six and the painter gets four. By the way, my cousin gives me four."
When ye Zhen finished, everyone smiled knowingly.
Che Yao's cheeks are slightly hot. This cousin is really dead for himself.
