Chapter 2012 Everything Needs Packaging
"You are too polite. Your paintings are hard to come by. Logically, I shouldn't accept them. After all, we are all relatives. What is it like to accept your things?"
As soon as Huo Jinzhi finished speaking, Father Bai said, "Why is it outrageous? I'll accept what you gave me, and I'll accept what I gave you. Reciprocity!"
"I really have the cheek to accept these two paintings. It's a coincidence. A few days ago, my brother-in-law and brother-in-law mentioned uncle to me. He planned to collect his paintings, but they couldn't be bought in the market. I He also said that he would recommend my uncle to my uncle, and it happened that you, uncle, gave me the painting."
One of Huo Jin had a clever mouth, which was more eloquent than a matchmaker's. Father Bai was delighted to hear that. Although he was not overly vain, he was still very happy to be praised so much.
Then he asked curiously: "What's your wife's uncle's name? I still know a few people in the Songcheng collection circle."
"The big name is Tang Aiguo. He likes to collect oil paintings. Has uncle heard of him?"
Father Bai was taken aback, and was shocked in his heart. Of course he had heard of Tang Aiguo's name. This Boss Tang was well-known in the collection circle, not to mention Songcheng, even in the whole country.
It is said that Boss Tang's most famous collection is the posthumous work of a famous European painter, worth tens of millions of dollars, while the one in the Paris museum is a fake, and the real one is in the hands of Tang Aiguo.
"So Boss Tang is your brother-in-law. I have really admired his name for a long time." Father Bai said in a respectful tone.
Tang Aiguo has a gallery in Songcheng, which is very famous in the world. It is the dream of every painter to hold an art exhibition in that gallery. Of course, Father Bai also wants to hold an art exhibition there, but he has not been able to win it.
Now he suddenly has confidence, they are all relatives, no matter what, he has to show some face, right?
Huo Jinzhi laughed to himself, he knew very well that Bai's father's small thoughts, besides fame is profit, or both fame and fortune.
"My brother-in-law is actually a blind collector, but he really likes painting, so he opened a gallery of his own, and often supports some young painters to hold art exhibitions or something. Yesterday I talked with my uncle about my uncle. My brother-in-law said that he would like to invite you to the gallery to hold an art exhibition, I wonder if my uncle would appreciate it?"
Huo Jinzhi didn't bother to go around in circles, and said directly that they were already relatives, so of course he didn't mind supporting them.
Father Bai's reputation in the painting world is not bad, but it's still not good enough. In fact, the promotional packaging is not in place. Nowadays, it is not feasible to do things with a dull head. Everything needs publicity packaging, otherwise there will be many talents in the world Yes, who knows you?
"It's my honor to go to Boss Tang's gallery to hold an art exhibition. How could I not want to? I don't know when? What do I need to prepare?" Father Bai was overjoyed, and couldn't control his reserved expression anymore, smiling out of the corners of his eyes All wrinkled.
He even dreamed of going to Boss Tang's gallery to hold an art exhibition. In fact, that gallery is not very high-end. He has also held art exhibitions in other galleries, but Tang Aiguo's gallery has an advantage, that is, Tang Aiguo is good at publicity and packaging.
There are quite a few painters who were previously unknown. After holding an exhibition in Tang Aiguo’s gallery, they were packaged and promoted by Tang Aiguo’s team. After a few years, they became famous painters, appeared on TV shows, and gave lectures at universities. All of a sudden, the price was sky-high, and he became a hot painter.
Obviously those people's paintings are just like that, and Father Bai doesn't like them, but after they packaged them, the paintings are several times more expensive than his, and he feels very jealous and a little unwilling.
