Almighty painter

Chapter 185 Mrs. Sakai's Shock

Love is not a math test that can be graded according to fixed right or wrong answers.

Gu Weijing's brushwork is still a little immature, and the brush strokes weave the complex lines on the canvas, which looks green, like a fledgling chick learning to build a nest with fine branches and feathers for the first time.

It's not without its flaws.

Katsuko Sakai has seen many famous paintings by masters whose strokes are really close to flawless in the art museum, but she loves the painting in front of her very much.

Not only because the pictures are well painted, but also because she likes this kind of resonance, because she loves the person who paints with a pen.

Love is an unreasonable liking.

It's like judging from the universal criteria of social class, wealth, resources, etc.

If there are professionals similar to bank asset credit appraisers, they will issue a carefully crafted "lover quality ranking list".

Everyone thinks that Komatsu Taro may be a boyfriend who can score 95 or even 98 points, and Gu Weijing may barely score 60 points.

The long distance between potential stocks and blue-chip stocks is a lucky choice for generations of wealth accumulation and countless opportunities to seize opportunities.

In the middle, there is at least [-] daily limit intervals.

In a place like East Asia where kings are everywhere, geniuses are worthless.

There are 80 billion people in this world, and there are close to 100 million people who have the talent of being one in ten thousand.

Talented art students may not be as bad as cabbage, but there are always only a few art trendsetters who can turn their talents into money.

But at the moment when Ms. Sakai fell in love with her, all the ratings were meaningless.

Even if someone really put such a list in front of her, begging like a bank manager selling insurance: "Miss, take a look, don't be stupid, after our evaluation, Komatsu Taro is the best!" It's suitable for you. Look, their family can sell tens of millions of dollars of paintings a year, and their assets are as strong as gold. If you marry him, you can hold art exhibitions as you want."

Sakai Katsuko would also tear up this form without saying a word, because she didn't love Komatsu.

Like a koala, Miss Sakai hugged Gu Weijing's neck for a long time before letting go, her face still flushed with excitement.

"I want to turn part of this painting into my profile picture on the INS homepage, is that okay?"

Katsuko Sakai covered the canvas with his left hand, and with the other hand, he made a gesture with his mobile phone and asked Gu Weijing for his opinion.

She blocked the essence of the composition and one-third of the main body of the picture with the palm of her hand, and only kept some ink and brush details of the close-up and the base picture, as well as the outline of Uncle Alai.

Painting is afraid of being plagiarized because of composition and creativity.
Whether the brush and ink details can be drawn or not depends entirely on the artist's level.Techniques are a part that cannot be stolen, and there are paintings of a higher level than this everywhere in art museums, so I am not afraid to show them to others.

"You can take a photo if you want, there is no need to block it?"

Gu Weijing, a native of Yangon, is still stuck in the thinking of students, and does not have such a high-end awareness of copyright protection as Ms. Sakai.

"No, it shouldn't be on my INS for its first full debut." Katsuko Sakai said seriously, "I'm looking forward to the moment when it will attract the world's attention this summer."

Sakai Katsuko not only updated her home page avatar on her INS, but also synchronized this sketch to the photo wall, and accompanied it with the text - [MY LOVER].

My dear love,

Double entendre.

A girl who just fell in love wants to announce to the world,

She is in love.

"In a few months, when I end the restriction of this agency contract, I will post our intimate group photo." Shengzi said to Gu Weijing with a little regret.

"Do you have an agency contract?"

Gu Weijing was not too surprised. With Sakai Katsuko's ability and resources, it is strange that there is no gallery attention.

"Tokyo Gallery + BTAP's agency contract for emerging artists lasts for six years. Between the ages of 12 and 12, including various subsidies and creative allowances every year, their foundation account will send me a salary check of about [-] U.S. dollars. And fully reimburse the international air tickets to foreign art museums, there are no fixed creation requirements, but some small restrictions."

Katsuko Sakai shook his head and explained: "To put it bluntly, it's actually someone spending six years' money to buy a priority signing right after debut."

She has a brokerage contract now.

This contract is a reward for the first prize of the All-Day Young Artist Competition organized by an Asian foundation.

There are many such activities in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.

The winner of the music string group will be rewarded with the right to use an antique violin from 1832 for five years, while the winner of the art and painting group will be awarded a new artist contract from the Tokyo Gallery, the oldest art gallery in Japan.

She is not an official representative artist of Tokyo Gallery, similar to a football team's youth training contract, but the amount is not "youth training" at all.

In the art industry, those who suffer from drought die from drought, and those who suffer from floods die from waterlogging.

It is not uncommon for high annual salary of one million, annual salary of tens of millions or even fixed annual salary of tens of millions.

But the annual salary of 12 US dollars has already properly entered the threshold of international artists.

At present, the vast majority of middle-level painters are in this income range.

Because Katsuko Sakai has a good image and her father is famous, Tokyo Gallery is willing to take a gamble, which also includes the remuneration for hiring Katsuko Sakai as their youth artist image promotion ambassador.

In the past, the total price of the six-year new star contract of the Golden Reward was only [-] US dollars.

After all, there is no requirement for creative delivery, and the gallery side is purely input expenditure.

In the face of minor painters, it is inconvenient for the gallery to ask how many works must be handed in quarterly in a year like the agency artists signed by formal contracts.

If you draw other people's children to be depressed, even if the court does not sentence you to exploit child labor, the media will still spray you to death.

As Katsuko Sakai said, Tokyo Gallery mainly buys a priority signing right at a high price.

The biggest purpose of spending this small million dollars is when she makes her official debut at the art exhibition when she becomes an adult.

Under the same asking price conditions, Tokyo Gallery has the right to give priority to the first official agency contract of Sakai Katsuko's art career, and that is when the real return on investment will be reaped.

"The additional clauses include that I can't do anything that damages the public image. There is a detailed rule that at least during the contract period, I can't announce my relationship on social media."

21st century,

Artists are becoming more and more popular and star-like. After the rise of the concept of trendy artists in the 10s, this characteristic became more obvious.

Fashion artists such as KAWS and Takashi Murakami have transformed art from an exclusive product of the upper class into a favorite of the whole society.

Web traffic is the only true god of the modern media industry.

No matter how bright the artists are, they cannot be exempt from vulgarity, and the works of high and low tunes cannot be sold at a good price.

Stirring scandals, walking on the red carpet, operating paparazzi gossip, issuing NFT digital artworks, male painters and female celebrities falling in love, everyone began to take the route of spotlight blog traffic.

Young artists are not strictly forbidden to fall in love like the idol trainees of Hallyu performing arts companies, but the gallery does not want Ms. Katsuko, who has an excellent appearance, to announce her relationship to the public prematurely.

"Boyfriend fans" and "girlfriend fans" can be found everywhere as long as they are related to fashion media.

after all,

You may not be able to understand pictures just by looking at them, but beautiful girls are appreciated by both refined and popular tastes.

Many beautiful independent female artists hate judging people by their appearance, thinking that their appearance conceals their hard work and talent.

however,
Whether you admit it or not, the objective fact is that from ancient times to the present, high-value single female painters often have a smoother journey.

Beauty is the initial ticket for many Western female painters in the old society to set foot in the upper art society.

The few famous female painters in Russia, France, Germany, and Italy in the 89s and [-]th century were mostly beautiful wives of rich merchants or lover models of great painters.

Many young customers who supported the first female Impressionist master Marie Cossart in the Paris gallery at that time regarded her as the goddess of art and the object of pursuit.

Even though Ms. Sakai was not opposed to marrying Taro Komatsu, she hardly left any photos of her intimacy with the other party on her INS.

In fact, not announcing the love affair, talking about underground love or even hidden marriage, is the choice to maximize the benefits for Sakai Katsuko.

"I don't care, when the time comes, I'm willing to tell the whole world that I like you." Sakai Katsuko whispered to Gu Weijing.

……

"Guest housekeeper? Prepare a car for me, I will use it soon."

Mrs. Sakai hangs up the phone in the guest room rather irritatedly, glances at the wall clock on the wall, stands up resentfully and opens the closet.

It was nearly midnight.

At this point, Katsuko Sakai hadn't come back yet, so Katsuko's mother finally couldn't sit still.

Thinking that some native pigs are now racking their brains for their beautiful Chinese cabbage, Mrs. Sakai is so upset that she seems to spit fire from her nostrils.

Countries and regions along the Mediterranean Sea, such as Spain and Sicily, Italy, are areas where the relationship between men and women is relatively conservative in European culture.

Traditional chaste Roman Catholic families make up more than half of the residents.

She was even dubbed a European nun.

Mrs. Sakai doesn't have to look at her daughter like a nun who is ascetic, but when she is in a relationship, girls often don't know how to protect themselves.

As for the boys...

Humph,
Mrs. Sakai still doesn't know what those bullshit bastards are pretending to be in their minds when they fall in love!
What they talk about is beauty, art, and the sensual luster of naked women in the works of Caravaggio, Renoir, and Rubens. What they want in their hearts is to turn the girl in front of them into a model in the painting.

All of them are veterans who seduce innocent and ignorant girls into bed.

When Mrs. Sakai was studying in the Art Academy, she had heard and seen these routines a lot.

"About going to paint together, hehehe, it's okay to cheat on the innocent little girl, but you can play this with the old lady, kid, you are too tender."

Mrs. Sakai twisted her neck and sneered.

She didn't believe in the self-control driven by the hormones of these little bastards.

Maybe the real starting point is that the appointment is not fake.

But the moon is dark and the wind is high, the love affair is hot, facing the alluring Chinese cabbage of his own girl, can the other party really hold it back?

The third chapter of the covenant or something,

Not all of them have been thrown into the clouds.

If the other party really has "bad" thoughts, his own daughter may not necessarily refuse, even with Shengzi's gentle personality, she may not necessarily refuse.

no,

She is willing to give the girl some personal space, but if she waits like this, she will be irresponsible as a parent.

Mrs. Sakai opened the family sharing map on the IPHONE, and first glanced at the location of her husband Kazushiro Sakai.

Uncle Sakai is busy with affairs and cannot stay in Myanmar for a long time, so he returned to his own studio in Dongying long ago.

His current location is neither at home nor in the studio, and his mobile phone is located in a Yakitori restaurant in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, which serves barbecue and supper.

"Hmph, everyone is so disobedient. High blood sugar, high blood fat, fatty liver, I've turned into takoyaki, and I'm still eating hazelnuts there. I'll deal with you when I go back."

Mrs. Sakai smiled enough to make all middle-aged husbands break out in cold sweat.

For the time being, she had no time to talk to her husband, who continued to develop into a sumo wrestler's body, and saw Katsuko's head in a welfare orphanage called "Lucky" in Layada District, Yangon.

Seeing that luckily he didn't find a certain hotel, Mrs. Sakai was half relieved.

But in the middle of the night, still relying on this kid, Gu Weijing, there are always unstable factors.

Mrs. Sakai put on her high heels and pushed open the door of the suite. She didn't plan to call Katsuko in advance to give her daughter a chance to escape.

The lady decided that it was time to kill directly and drag Shengzi back.

Hey~
[Shengzi]'s INSTAGRAM update news came from the mobile phone.

Before the picture was loaded, Mrs. Sakai saw the accompanying text of "My Beloved".

When these four characters came into view, her face immediately contorted, and she almost threw the phone out angrily.

If you really want to accurately describe Mrs. Sakai's inner feelings at this time,
It is roughly equivalent to the mood of most mothers when they see their precious daughters quit their decent jobs, go home to meet their parents with a big belly and a bosozoku boyfriend with dyed yellow hair.

Too ignorant!
It's not a question of losing fans, it's a question of breach of contract.

Mrs. Sakai doesn't care about a contract with a new artist, nor does she care about the liquidated damages of more than one million US dollars.

Mainly dishonesty.

The last thing an artist can offend is a gallery, just like a star is unwilling to offend a performing arts company, no one likes to sign an artist with a record of dishonesty.

Even if it's just a rookie contract, a signing is a signing.

For the sake of Professor Sakai, Tokyo Gallery may not even be willing to hold Katsuko accountable for such a small matter, but it cannot be done like this.

"She's talking about love, she's talking about being stupid...Huh?"

After the picture was uploaded, seeing that the one updated on the photo wall was not Gu Weijing's stupid face as she thought, Mrs. Sakai's anger dissipated quite a bit in an instant.

Her footsteps stopped slightly, and her eyes scanned the photo partially blocked by her palm.

Mrs. Sakai saw that the painting was not bad at first glance, and then she realized that it was not her daughter's painting.

Katsuko Sakai has never painted in this style.

Not Katsuko's?
Is that Gu Weijing's?

"Hey, it's interesting."

Mrs. Sakai slowly stopped her hastily going out.
