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

In the corner of the exhibition hall.

Wang Zhen was talking on the phone quietly.

Jiang Zhe glanced at her and lowered his head to continue writing and drawing.

Today is the fifth day of my own exhibition. Several exhibitions held in New York have reported sales figures, with the highest exceeding 120 million US dollars and the lowest exceeding 50 US dollars.

He understood Wang Zhen's pressure. The sales and influence of the exhibition would be compared. The results affected both the individual and the company.

Among my own works, there are only about twenty pieces that can be sold. What will the final sales volume be?

Taking various factors into consideration, according to initial estimates, the best result would be around US$80, and the minimum would be US$50 to be considered a success.

But looking at the current situation, Wang Zhen is not very sure, even though everyone appears to be full of confidence.

Only Jiang Zhe was very confident because of the system's rewards.

He silently calculated that he would need to receive a reward of 200 million Huayuan, or 25 US dollars, from the sales of this exhibition. The total sales would certainly be higher. Taking various factors into consideration, the total sales would have to reach at least 120 million US dollars to be realized.

This amount should exceed the best performance of all current exhibitions held during the same period.

However, there is no way to tell Wang Zhen and others about this estimated result.

While he was pondering, he heard footsteps and put down his pen and paper.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Wang Zhen said to Jiang Zhe: "The domestic gallery has encountered a problem and needs me to go back and deal with it."

"Okay, then you go back. I'm alone here." Jiang Zhe felt that he could handle the remaining problems by himself.

"I'm not comfortable leaving you here alone to deal with these problems." Wang Zhen looked worried.

Jiang Zhe waved his hand: "Your focus should be on handling the company's business. I'm not a child and can handle it. Most of the things here have been done and I don't need to do anything. I'm just here to wait for the results.

Don't worry, just go back and take care of the company."

Wang Zhen thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll go back and finish my business and come back as soon as possible."

Jiang Zhe shook his head: "If there's nothing else, there's no need to come here. The exhibition will be over in another week."

"I'll make the arrangements. I'll leave today and come back as soon as possible." After Wang Zhen finished speaking, he first went to find the person in charge of Christie's and told him about his arrangements, and then called to arrange the itinerary.

She moved very quickly and caught the fastest flight.

Jiang Zhe sent her to the airport.

Before going through security, she repeatedly reminded Jiang Zhe to communicate promptly if he encountered something he couldn't handle. "I'll go back and arrange some publicity in China. No matter what the results are here, we have to show our best performance."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Jiang Zhe watched Wang Zhen go through security check.

Not long after, he was taking a taxi and happened to see a plane taking off. He wondered if it was the one Wang Zhen was on.

Being in a foreign country, his companion had to return home in a hurry due to something. He felt a little lost and lonely at first, but he was still young after all, and he quickly adjusted his mood on the way back.

Here, he has no problem communicating with the language, and if he gets bored, he has something to do. He gradually develops a sense of relaxation without anyone controlling him.

He returned to the exhibition hall and received several visitors. He spent the rest of his time either reading or sketching.

When we returned to the hotel in the evening, we even opened a bottle of champagne and had a drink. On the sixth day of the exhibition, because there were not many visitors, Jiang Zhe ran out after lunch to buy various snacks to share with the staff.

He returned to Christie's with two large bags of snacks in his hands.

The staff member guarding the exhibition saw him coming back and said hurriedly, "Jiang Zhe, I was just about to call you. Professor Kerry came with a group of students. He just asked if you were there?"

Jiang Zhe gave him a bag in his hand and said, "I bought some snacks, let's share."

"Thank you. Please go over quickly."

Jiang Zhe walked into the exhibition hall carrying a bag and saw a group of people visiting.

A dozen young students surrounded Kerry and were discussing something in low voices.

There were also several students looking at the works that interested them. One student got as close to the picture as possible to see the details clearly.

Kerry was explaining a landscape painting to the students. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Zhe walking into the exhibition hall.

He immediately stopped talking, smiled and waved to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe walked over and greeted him warmly.

Kerry took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Zhe and said: "Today I brought my students to see your works, hoping to give them some inspiration." Then, he said to the people around him: "You are the same age, some of you are even older than Jiang Zhe, but don't judge the level of the painter based on age. These paintings are of high quality and have shining points for you to learn.

Now, the original author is here, you can ask him any questions you have. "

After greeting Jiang Zhe, these students actually started asking some questions about creation.

When they see their peers being so highly praised by the teacher, they naturally feel dissatisfied. In front of the teacher, they can also express their confusion frankly.

Jiang Zhe tried his best to answer in a way that would not hurt the other party's face, and he did not back down on some issues that needed to be argued.

As the discussion progressed, he found that most of these American students were quite confident, but a few were relatively silent. Some of the questions were embarrassing, but Jiang Zhe rationally resolved them one by one.

Of course, some questions are very basic.

Art education in the United States focuses on developing students' creativity, but it is not without problems. Many students are too free or too focused on the avant-garde, ignoring the classic art of the past.

As everyone looked at the paintings and discussed them, the sense of unfamiliarity gradually faded away.

After everyone had finished watching the works, Jiang Zhe took out some snacks to share with everyone.

When Pete heard that Kerry was coming, he rushed over to meet him.

During the conversation, he tactfully asked if Kerry could give a positive evaluation of the exhibition.

Kerry did not respond but changed the subject.

When he was leaving with his students, he said to Jiang Zhe alone, "I have an idea. I would like to invite you to go to the school where I teach and give a portrait painting or oil painting demonstration for everyone. I wonder if you are willing?"

Jiang Zhe didn't expect to receive an invitation, so he said, "I'm still a student. Will I be unqualified to demonstrate at school?"

Kerry smiled and said, "To demonstrate, what is needed is artistic level, not qualification. Of course, this is just my personal idea, and it also requires the right operation and timing. If you agree, I can start the operation."

Jiang Zhe felt that this matter would have no impact on him, and he also wanted to visit the art college in the United States, so he nodded and agreed.

After sending Kerry away, he told Pete about it. Pete was very happy: "You made the right choice." (End of this chapter)
