Almighty painter

Chapter 68 Soulmate
"Now I only provide the electronic version of the draft, of course, the price can be relatively cheap..."

Gu Weijing is sitting in the studio, the computer is connected to the printer and file folder.

He is discussing with the client on the Internet about their request for a manuscript.

Every time a business is negotiated, he will print out the customer's requirements or the corresponding photo template, paste the corresponding serial number, and prepare to activate the skills in batches according to classification.

Fame as an illustrator is business, and Gu Weijing looked at the thick stack of folders beside him, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his chest that was recognized by others.

After thinking about it, he made a decision,
starting today,
For all his orders, he only provides electronic drawings.

This is the common sense of soliciting drafts online. Many painters have always painted electronically, and they don't even have paper drafts.

No paper version of the draft is provided, although the risk of a large number of outflows of works is avoided, but the collection value will be correspondingly reduced a lot.

At least many people who follow suit are unwilling to buy.

But that's not too much of a problem.

After all, Gu Weijing's current user base is too large, and he can't handle it well by himself at all. Most of the draft requests can't be answered by himself.

After preliminary screening, Gu Weijing left more than [-] order offers that could meet the requirements of both parties in a short period of time.

Most of these order requirements are uncomplicated.

There are a few buyers who are big head part-time studios on Fivver, and their purchase records are very active within the past three months. After the video of [Mr. Customers are diverted to themselves.

The cheapest of these orders is still $170.

Gu Weijing doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. Although the price is cheap and the requirements are very simple, there is basically no possibility of a bad painting.

For example, four of them are very simple stick figure avatars. Adding up these four orders, if the overall planning is done well, it may only take the time of Menzel's skill once in total.

Compared with before, it can be much more relaxed and happy.

After receiving these orders, Gu Weijing reckoned that he would be able to complete most of them this week.

Just when he took out his paintbrush, he was about to start the second step towards completing the professional chain mission.

Suddenly, a line of new message reminders flashed on the computer.

He hadn't planned to bother.

However, he vaguely remembered that the user whose avatar was a sloth had sent him messages several times in a row.

The other party seems to be very persistent.

This aroused Gu Weijing's curiosity.

……

"Hello?—【Detective Cat】"

Seeing the notification of new news flashing on the computer, Anna finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ms. Detective Cat, before you are sure that you fully understand the contract. Please be sure not to accept the gallery's request indiscriminately."

Her fingers flicked quickly on the keyboard, and immediately typed out a line of words.

"Uh, sorry. Excuse me, who are you?"

After a few seconds, a new message flashed on the screen.

【I'm Anna Elena, I want to be your personal painting dealer. 】

Anna subconsciously typed this line of words on the keyboard.

Looking at that line of words, she hesitated for two seconds while pressing the Enter key.

"No...you can't do this." She gritted her teeth, forcibly enduring the desire to directly send the message like this, and reluctantly deleted the line of words from the computer screen.

Ana really wants to be the detective cat's personal agent.

Although she cannot become a great artist, Anna wants to discover her own Van Gogh, which has always been her biggest dream.

If not endowed with the gift of being great, be the cornerstone of greatness, the companion in art.

Behind every successful artist is the help of noble people.

Just like Earl Montesquieu and Proust, Madame de Pompadour and the dean of the French Academy of Fine Arts, Boucher, the chief painter of the royal family, and Mrs. Warren who brought Jean Jacques Rousseau to the upper class of Paris...

Whenever people mention these great names and great works, and their patrons who have been entangled for a lifetime, Bole, who is discerning and discerning, is the most unfading link in the legendary stories of these artists.

Art is more perishable than glory.

This is Elena's family motto, and it's what Anna finds most romantic.

If I really found such a person.

Then, in the art museum hundreds of years later, whenever people mentioned the life of that great painter, they would say: "Once upon a time, when this great painter was still unknown, there was a woman named Anna Elena The young lady discovered each other's talent, and she spent her whole life helping and achieving each other, and they are partners on the road of art."

Is there anything better than this?
True romance has nothing to do with carnal desires, men and women, or even meeting each other, but just the throbbing of the soul and the mutual connection.

She saw potential in Detective Cat.

In classical society, the closest person to a painter is his patron. For example, Anna’s Greek grandma was an important art patron of the Pre-Raphaelites.

However, in the modern art commercial society, the model of patrons and painters has gradually disappeared.

In its place is the model of a community of interests between brokers and painters.

A painter and her agent are the closest partners and comrades-in-arms on the road of painting.

We share weal and woe, share honor and disgrace.

The painter is in charge of achieving greatness in art, while the economic man is in charge of paving an artist's career path forward, selling his work, handling the chores of work, negotiating artistic contracts...

Behind every successful painter is not necessarily a virtuous wife or husband, but there must be a virtuous art dealer.

There is nothing that can get closer to the soul of a master of painting than being the other half of the other party's artistic life.

Although Anna's main job is an art critic, she certainly has all the conditions to be an excellent economic person.

She is well-connected, influential, and maintains good relationships with various galleries.

I can not only receive suitable works for the other party, but also provide artistic guidance for the other party.

Not to mention the young painter who has just become famous, she just wants to be the agent of a famous painter like Professor Sakai, and the other party will welcome her with raised hands.

It's a pity...but it can't be this detective cat.

At least not as Anna.

"It's a pity, if only Thomas would not post this video."

Anna was a little annoyed.

How much she wished that she had discovered this hidden gem without anyone knowing about it.

I quietly pave the way for the other party without being noticed, write art reviews anonymously, guide the other party to participate in art exhibitions, let the other party's paintings be recognized by the public, and then expose my identity to the world.

But it's just not this kind of sudden explosion.

the reason is simple.

She has always presented herself as a professional and strict art critic, and has never had a contracted painter.

As a result, in the video of the world's number one Internet celebrity, he promoted an unknown little painter to the sky, and the news broke out that Anna, who had always been aloof, had become the other party's art agent.

Some knowledgeable people are willing to call this kind of behavior the good talk of wisdom.

More people will regard this as a conspiracy theory, with evidence of the shady scene.

I took black money from the other party and wanted to praise him, and when I made the video, the two parties had a secret exchange of interests, etc...

The mouths of those art tabloids are poisonous,
And the audience is still eating this set.

There was once a young African painter who was taken to Paris by a well-known female agent who was old enough to be his mother, and gave a lot of art resources to the painter.

The two parties have always maintained a good cooperative relationship, but the tabloid reporters captured their intimate expressions when eating together.

This was nothing at all, but because the female manager usually offended more people in the circle.

As a result, the villain immediately made up the title of "Nursing the Art Luan Boy" on the tabloids, attracting countless people who eat melons, and the two sides were in a hurry.

In the end, the two broke up on bad terms. Although the reputation of the female agent was discredited, the future of the young painter was also cast a shadow. This is politics.

The reason why Anna didn't think about Thomas contacting Detective Cat directly, or asking Thomas to leave his private contact information for the other party.

Just to avoid suspicion.

This kind of news is really ugly and the impact is too bad.

It's not suitable for myself, Thomas, and especially for the opposite detective cat who has just improved his career.

Although Anna has connections, her usual vicious comments also offend other artists.

Just like this time she scolded Fan Duoen so bloody, the opponent's fans must not be convinced.

Although the artist Fan Duoen has not expressed his position yet, but if he does not express his position, he will not express his position. The other party will definitely feel unhappy or even jealous.

Van Dorn has never been a good man in the circle, and his connections are no worse than his own.

When this kind of news is exposed at this time, the other party will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to attack them.

It doesn't matter to herself, her heart is strong enough.

But what about the detective cat?

Many artists have mild social fears, and it is even not uncommon for people who have been sprayed in history to be psychologically unable to bear suicide.

Anna felt that she could not delay other painters in order to satisfy her ideals. They deserved better, and there was no need to choose herself.

and……

Now that the other party has just become famous, all kinds of economic contracts must come one after another. While persuading others not to accept contracts randomly, she told the other party that Anna Elena wanted to be the other party's manager.

Although she was doing the best for the other party, what would other artists think——

She wants to repay her kindness?
Anna didn't want to establish a bad impression from the beginning because of the pure soul bond between herself and the other party.

"Who are you, why do you say that, are you still there?"

Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Detective Cat seemed to be getting impatient.

"Can I add you as a friend? I want to chat with you—"

Anna typed quickly.

"—three hundred, no, five hundred euros, one hour."
