The Pentium Era - South to North

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xin called Zhang Chen and told Zhang Chen that all 181 works had been safely put into storage.

Zhang Chen said yes, thank you for your hard work.

Zhang Chen told Zhao Xin the news that they found works by Picasso, Miro, Matisse and others in the large container.

"Really? Boss, is it true? You didn't lie to me?"

Zhao Xin asked two questions in succession, "Is it true?" Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Of course it is true. We have been busy until now and have just had dinner."

"That's great, boss. From now on..."

Zhang Chen interrupted Zhao Xin and said to her: "I am also considering that our art museum may need to expand, and whether we need to set up a special exhibition hall to permanently display these paintings. These are among the most popular paintings in Chinese art. Paintings by artists that cannot be seen in museums.”

Zhao Xin sighed and said: "Boss, then our hotel is really good."

"That's awesome!" Xiaoshu shouted from the side, and the people on both ends of the phone laughed happily.

Zhao Xin said: "I was about to cry when I unpacked and put this batch of works into storage. Now, how many good things have been added to our art museum. I didn't expect there would be an accident. Boss, I want it all at night." can not fall asleep."

"You shouldn't be able to sleep." Zhang Chen said with a smile, "We won't be able to sleep at night either."

In recent years, after everyone has begun to realize the value of oil painting collections, it can be said that it has become increasingly difficult to collect collections in their oil painting museums. Most of the works have gone to various auctions, and the cost of acquiring the collections It is also getting higher and higher. It has not happened for many years to add so many collections at once. It is no wonder that Zhao Xin is excited.

Now, with so many world-class collections added all at once, it's strange to be able to sleep well at night.

After everyone had dinner together, Liu Qing and the others went to stay in a hotel. Zhang Chen, Xiao Shu and the others returned to Xiao Fang's house. After taking a bath, Zhang Chen and Xiao Shu placed these paintings against the wall and TV cabinet in the living room. Lined up, two people sat on the sofa and stared at them.

Xiaofang and Yao Fen came over, and Xiaofang asked: "Are you stupid and not ready to sleep?"

Zhang Chen and Xiaoshu both said that they couldn't sleep and would watch for a while.

Yao Fen went to her room to sleep, but Xiaofang still had to work. She sat in the study for a while, unable to sit still, so she simply took the computer, came out of the study, sat down at the dining table and started to work. While working, she looked up from time to time. Looking over here, I saw Zhang Chen and Xiao Shu staring at the paintings and giggling. Xiao Fang couldn't help but also pursed her lips and smiled.

Xiaofang saw Zhang Xiangbei's MSN online, and Xiaofang asked: "Beibei, it's almost eleven o'clock, why haven't you gone to class yet?"

Zhang Xiangbei said: "There is no class this morning. I am reading at home."

Xiaofang smiled secretly. She turned on the camera, turned the computer, and pointed the camera on the computer towards Zhang Chen and Xiaoshu.

Xiaofang typed: "Beibei, look at your stupid father and uncle, they are really stupid."

Zhang Xiangbei stared at the screen for a while and asked, "What happened to them?"

"They found a treasure today."

"What treasure?"

"Among the paintings your father bought, there are actually works by Picasso and Matisse."

"Tch, what I thought was a good thing was just a few broken paintings." Zhang Xiangbei said disdainfully.

"Isn't it just a few broken paintings?" Xiaofang turned the computer back, made an angry expression at the camera, and kept typing in her hands: "Okay, my fault, it seems that I shared it by mistake. Target."

Zhang Xiangbei laughed loudly, and when the microphone was not turned on, he could see his mouth opening and closing proudly.

"Ignore you and read your book."

Xiaofang said, turning off the camera and the dialog box, but the name "Beibei" kept flashing. Xiaofang clicked on it. In the dialog box, there was a long list of laughing expressions left by Zhang Xiangbei. Xiaofang closed the dialog box angrily and muttered:

"Rang Kuang, wait until I come to New Haven to deal with you!"

On the sofa, Zhang Chen said to Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, tomorrow you and Yao Fen go to the logistics base. I simply went to buy the materials and came back to clean these paintings. I think this one by Paul Klee needs to be repaired immediately. "

Xiaoshu said okay, leave it to us there.

Zhang Chen then told Xiaoshu his idea. He wanted to expand a hall in the "Riverside Oil Painting Gallery". The area of ​​this hall does not need to be very large, about one hundred square meters. It would be placed in the "Riverside Oil Painting Gallery" and the club. In this hall, he did not want to use glass, but used a silver exterior wall to connect the two glass buildings together.

This hall is used as a special exhibition hall for this batch of works to be displayed permanently. If the good things are only hidden in the warehouse, it is better than not having them at all. At this point, we really need to learn from foreign exhibition halls. .

Xiaoshu said: “Yes, I was really shocked when I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Guggenheim this time. They display so many good things there, and anyone can visit them.

"In their exhibition halls, you can often see primary and secondary school students sitting together and listening to explanations. This is the real aesthetic education. Wherever we go to the Forbidden City, we can't see anything. The collections in the Forbidden City can only be read in books. Saw it on.”

Zhang Chen nodded in agreement: "This is how the exhibition hall should be, so that it is worthy of the collection. I have thought about it. With this collection and then permanently displayed, it can attract many overseas audiences to visit our exhibition hall. When they arrive, they won’t just look at this one exhibition hall, so it’s like introducing our Chinese oil painters to them.”

"Buy one, get one free." Xiaoshu said with a smile, "By the way, brother-in-law, I want to go back to work in the art museum."

"Why, isn't it good to be a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Brother-in-law, I told you before that I have an idea, do you remember it?"

Zhang Chen said he remembered, "You said you wanted to be a painter-in-residence."

"Yes, I just want to do this when I go back to the art museum." Xiaoshu said, "I like painting in the art museum. It feels like there are a lot of people working with me. This feels very cool. Then you paint While I was painting, there were viewers walking around behind me, pointing and pointing, which made me feel very grounded.

"I just want to be a resident artist and paint in the museum. Also, as I said before, when primary and secondary school students come to visit, I can be their docent. I feel this way myself, like myself When I was studying, I didn’t know much about these things. If you hadn’t gone home with your sister that year, I wouldn’t have been interested in painting and I wouldn’t have followed your painting..."

"You don't even know that you have the talent for painting, do you?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xiaoshu nodded.

Zhang Chen said yes, then you will come back.

Zhang Chen remembered and said to Xiaoshu: "By the way, I told you earlier that we would expand a hall. For the expansion part, we will build two floors. The first floor will be the exhibition hall, and the second floor will be your studio." , if you are interested, you can also take students there."

Xiaoshu said yes, I am also willing to take care of the students by myself. There are not so many rules and regulations like in school.

The next day, Xiaoshu and Yao Fen went to the logistics base. Zhang Chen went out to buy materials and started working when he got home. Liu Qing and the others were curious and came over to take a shot of Zhang Chen repairing the oil painting, and then went to Songjiang Logistics base.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoshu called Zhang Chen and told him that he found another line drawing by Picasso, which was drawn on paper and was sandwiched among the pile of paintings without frames. This painting is very interesting, and there seems to be a poem written on it.

Zhang Chen said: "Then you bring it back. Liu Yun knows what is written."

"Liu Qing has already seen it. She said it's not French, but Spanish." Xiaoshu said, and Zhang Chen laughed. He always only remembered Liu Yun. How could he forget that Liu Qing came back from studying in France.

Liu Qing took Xiaoshu's phone and said to Zhang Chen: "I took a photo and sent it back to the station for my colleagues to see. My colleague told me that it was a poem by the Spanish poet Lorca. I guess this painting is by Picasso." Give it to the woman in the painting to flatter you."

Zhang Chen burst out laughing and said, "Okay, once we find out which woman this is, we can shoot a special episode of "The Story of Paintings". This is exclusive material."

"You don't need to tell me, I've already sent people to find him." Liu Qing said.

Xiaoshu and Zhang Chen said that they would need to work there for two days. Xiaoshu sighed as he said, "Sometimes I can't continue working."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's very exciting to see these people who are not famous and look at their paintings. Many of them paint really well. My self-confidence is hit even when I look at them," Xiaoshu said.

Zhang Chen smiled: "It doesn't matter, I will come out, Xiaoshu. Have you ever thought about it? What we are doing now is a very meaningful thing. After this batch of works are cleaned up, I think we can make a Thematic exhibitions give these seniors who have been forgotten or unknown, an opportunity to be re-recognized by everyone."

Xiaoshu said "hmm".

Zhang Chen continued: "I even thought that I would do a special topic at that time, and we could also invite people from the consulates or embassies of several countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Mexico, etc., which have a relatively large concentration of painters. Come, let them know that there was such a group of ruthless people in their country."

"Brother-in-law, do you want to convert their fame from export to domestic sales?" Xiaoshu asked.

Zhang Chen said yes, I just have such an idea, and it also stimulates domestic painters.

"Xiao Shu, please take your time to sort it out. It will probably take me two or three days." Zhang Chen said to Xiao Shu, "At Tan Shuzhen's place, I asked Yao Fen for leave."

Xiaoshu nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, after we have sorted it out, I think I will let Mr. Ren and the others use Iveco to deliver it to Hangzhou first. I estimate that it will take more than a dozen times to deliver it all."

Zhang Chen said yes, he can also let Wu Zhaohui and his company deliver it. Their van can go into downtown Hangzhou. You can arrange it.

After hanging up the phone on Xiaoshu, Zhang Chen became happy and discovered another Picasso. Clément's great-grandfather, a son of a rich French family, must be so sloppy. How could he treat Picasso like this?

Zhang Chen thought that Clément’s grandfather and father must be the same as Clément and had no interest in these things. Otherwise, they would also have discovered that Picasso and Matisse, in their time, were like Lao Bi and Lao Ma. , his reputation has grown, it is impossible for them not to notice.

There are really some people in this world who have no interest in works of art. When Zhang Chen thought of this, he thought of Zhang Xiangbei and sighed.
