Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Jiang Zhe's conversation with the president of Christie's attracted the attention of many people in the exhibition hall.

What could be happening that could make the usually calm and composed president appear so happy?
Wang Zhen also came over and wanted to hear what the two were talking about.

Jiang Zhe took out the business card he had just received and said, "If it's him, then it's correct."

The president of Christie's took a look at the business card and said with a smile, "Yes, that's him. How long did he stay? Did he say anything?"

Jiang Zhe briefly described the process of their conversation.

After listening to this, the president smiled and said, "Are you sure that he explicitly said that he would recommend more friends to come to the exhibition?"

"That's for sure."

"That's great." The president looked at Jiang Zhe with a smile. "Since he has recognized it, I believe the influence of the exhibition will continue to grow."

"Does Professor Kerry have a great influence?" Jiang Zhe asked.

The president of Christie's nodded and said, "You don't know Professor Kerry. Although he is not a professional painter, his research in art criticism and art theory has influenced many people.

Many painters who want to become famous want him to comment on their works, or want to get his approval, but he is very picky.

It is often difficult to understand the direction of his criticism of paintings. Sometimes he likes avant-garde art, and sometimes he praises those who stick to traditional painting. Of course, many people have been criticized by him.

He has taught at several universities and currently serves as a visiting professor at other art schools in addition to teaching at Columbia University.

Many friends, many students, and great influence. "

As Jiang Zhe listened to the other party's story, he was thinking, could this be a coincidence?

"Did you know him before?" asked the president of Christie's.

Jiang Zhe shook his head.

The president said: “Pete told me that when you were initially promoting your exhibition, in addition to seeking the support of collectors and customers like George, you also wanted to win the support of critics like Kerry.

We sent him two invitations, but neither Kerry nor several other critics responded.

I thought they wouldn't come, but I didn't expect them to come quietly.

Your exhibition has the support of some big clients, so there shouldn't be any big problems with sales. If Kerry's comments are added, maybe more people will know you, and then the exhibition will be a great success.

I will discuss this with Pete and will immediately follow up with the publicity once I see Kerry’s commentary.”

At the end, he also said to Jiang Zhe: "Congratulations, you are really lucky to succeed in your first appearance."

"Thanks to your support," said Jiang Zhe.

The president had something else to do, so he left.
Wang Zhen has understood what the two people said, and is also considering how to strengthen publicity if the situation described by the president really occurs?
……

Across the ocean, the public offices of the Esplanade.

Professor Qin, the head of the Department of Plastic Arts, and several other teachers were gathered around a computer, looking at some pictures sent by Wang Zhen.

Looking at the pictures on the computer, playing them one by one, several teachers would also comment on them.

The "exhibition" is of high standard.

“It’s not easy to hold an art exhibition at Christie’s and have so many people participate.”

“Who are the people taking the photos?”

"The invited guests should be very important."

"Look at this exhibition, it's very professional. There's nothing fancy about it, and the works are highlighted as much as possible."

“When we hold an exhibition in the future, we can follow this model.”

"Yes, yes. Record this useful information for reference."

The department head could hear the envy of several teachers. After looking at the pictures, he asked, "Are there any more?"

Professor Qin asked Teacher Hu to play it again.

While playing the pictures, Teacher Hu told his colleagues the identities of the guests visiting the exhibition according to the information sent by Wang Zhen.

Professor Qin said to the department head, "That's all for now. Jiang Zhe told me that the first day of the exhibition was not very good because it snowed.

Many people who were originally planning to visit changed their plans, which resulted in a less lively scene.”

"This is an accident." The department head said, "I see quite a few people are attending. We have held some art exhibitions before, and some of them were empty all day. Tell Jiang Zhe not to say these unpleasant words when you come back. If it can be done smoothly, it will be considered a success.

Also, tell Jiang Zhe to send as much detailed information as possible."

"Okay, I'll call him. Can we slow down the promotion here? Let's see the effect of the exhibition first. Mr. Wang said on the phone that there might be a newspaper propaganda exhibition in two days."

"It can wait a while." The department head agreed.

……

New York has entered the night. Luxurious and extravagant

Countless lights decorate the city, and tragedies and comedies are performed one after another.

A luxurious manor, decorated with various colorful lights, is very lively.

Cars stopped at the main entrance one after another, and men and women in suits or fancy clothes walked in one after another. Everyone felt like they were walking on the red carpet.

Jiang Zhe, Wang Zhen and Pete stood at the door, greeting guests one after another.

Today is the first day of the exhibition. Jiang Zhe originally planned to hold a thank-you dinner, but Christie suggested that he hold a party. According to American custom, he invited friends to attend.

Jiang Zhe had heard of this celebration custom, but it was his first time experiencing it.

Although he was busy all day, he still cheered up and entertained the guests. He found that the guests were much more interested in the party than in the art exhibition. There were probably more people who came to participate than those who were invited. Some of them followed the invitees in.

He had just dropped off a guest at the venue, and Pete told him, "Congressman So-and-so is here. Let's go greet him."

Also remind Kang Chul that the congressman loves being praised for how well he and his girlfriend match each other.

The three of them greeted an old man and his young female companion.

Jiang Zhe followed Wang Zhen and Pete, said some nice words, and ended the greetings. Then another luxury car stopped.

He couldn't remember how many polite words he had said. He could only hear that the manor had become lively.

Peter looked at the list and said to Jiang Zhe, "The important guests have arrived. You can go in and greet them."

Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the manor.

They rented this place temporarily to hold an event.

There are lawns, spacious indoor spaces, and an indoor swimming pool, which can accommodate many guests for entertainment activities.

The guests gathered at several venues in the manor according to the closeness of their relationship and had a great time.

Jiang Zhe walked along and greeted people he knew.

The interior of the manor villa is warm and comfortable.

Some of the young men and women gathered near the swimming pool have already started playing in the water.

Of course, if you need to talk to someone privately, you can ask the waiter to prepare a room.

Jiang Zhe was talking to a few people he knew. He was just picking up a glass of water and preparing to take a break when he saw a blonde girl walking towards him.
