Chapter 1457 (2/2)
A little-known painter, from an unknown origin to a budding figure, to a famous Xiaocheng, and then to the inside and outside of the famous circle, needs enormous promotion and publicity costs every step.
In this long process of becoming famous, this young painter not only needs to ensure that the level of his paintings remains at a certain height as always, but also needs to have the ability of self breakthrough in some important competitions.
Even so, the painter's paintings may not be plain sailing.
Because there are too many uncertainties in the circle of art.
If investment is a gamble, then art investors who invest in an artist are preparing for a big gamble every day.
This time, as they can foresee, the painters who have the largest gap in the rate of return and reduced the investment risk to infinity finally appeared in front of them.
The name of this low-key, mysterious and matchless young painter is Gu Zheng.
His paintings are not very popular, and have been recognized by the professional circle in the other party's circle.
And the production of his paintings is irregular.
In addition to the original paintings created in Japan, if you want to buy a pair of Gu Zheng's recent paintings, you can't find his direct manager.
As soon as Gu Zheng's paintings flowed out, investors and collectors in the circle of traditional Chinese painting have flocked to hold those very spiritual paintings in their own hands, waiting for one day when Gu Zheng shines for auction.
Therefore, in the eyes of foreign collectors who smell the smell, Gu Zheng is a hedgehog that is difficult to eat.
And because they could not directly squeeze the labor force, they thought of the indirect method of the right to hold personal art exhibitions.
They don't care about spending a lot of money to push Gu Zheng out. If only they could change the art investment company and broker behind him to their own people.
This made Gu Zheng, who appreciated the kimono beauty doing pot washing water and understood the other party's intention over and over again, surprised: ”so this is what you mean?”
”It's really a good abacus, but I like it, Lao Huang. What do you mean?”
With these words, Gu Zheng spread his hands, but turned his head to the very low-key art agent who has been serving behind him.
This is different from Jiang Yue's high-profile follow. The two people have a taste of friendship between gentlemen.
Agent Huang doesn't talk much nonsense every time, which is equivalent to the existence of taking the painting and leaving.
But no matter which time, as long as Gu Zheng is short of money, he can help the other party sell his paintings at a good price.
Just because he is not a philistine enough, he is more favored by Gu Zheng.
Because Gu Zheng knows that he is very different from a real painter.
He is not a man obsessed with art. It is impossible for him to have a deeper communication and understanding with art agents like an ordinary painter.
It is impossible for him to attract more collectors for the art gallery, because he has no time to create contemporary paintings in line with the market.
His works are random, emotional and uncertain accidental works. Only those who are more indifferent to fame and wealth can be competent for this position.
Thanks to the strong support of the Central Academy of fine arts for him and the great help of Professor Shen, we can find such a suitable art agent among the semi State-owned Art Companies Affiliated to each other.
This kind of agent who will not force Gu Zheng to create, even slightly indifferent, is the type Gu Zheng needs most and appreciates most.
Therefore, from the beginning, a large number of businessmen across the street who wanted to package him and take the promotion route of modern Japanese artists were afraid that they were wrong.
Thanks to his understanding of the elder brother and knowing that he is not a good person at all, he will be particularly down-to-earth and hand over all the next dialogue to the single agent Huang who dares to face a group by pulling a required team.
The agent who has long received the notice from the relevant parties is really fully prepared.
He first opened the legal contract signed between Gu Zheng and his company, and the lawyer behind him communicated with the people opposite.
Tell the other party who is the Plenipotentiary of Gu Zheng's works. After successfully diluting Gu Zheng's will, it strongly shows the position of his company in this negotiation.
The meaning of the words clearly told the group that the idea of trying to impress Gu Zheng with high cash was useless.
Because Professor Shen, who had his own opinion for a long time, let Gu Zheng be fixed in his country forever.
The company to which agent Huang belongs did not sign Gu Zheng's paintings of a certain period, but he alone.
Other terms of the contract are so broad that they are not even a traditional agency sales contract.
However, the only valid and time effective contract is Gu Zheng's years in the company.
That's ten years.
This is not a very long period for such a young painter.
But for those investors who want to use Gu Zheng's other achievements to achieve Gu Zheng's reputation as an artist, it is really not good news.
Because the source of Gu Zheng's fame is basically the sports industry with shorter service life.
If we can't take this opportunity to make Gu Zheng famous internationally, we will spend more money to reach their expected height.
This is not what a businessman should do.
It is also the most important reason why this negotiation cannot continue.
Several waves of people were talking and talking. Gu Zheng's eyelids were almost drooping because his frequent yawning behavior was really a little indecent. Agent Huang, sitting under the low table, winked at Jiang Yue, who was also sleepy behind him.
At this time, he picked Gu Zheng out and let them take the opportunity to leave.
Without the constraints of this, I believe he can talk more relaxed.
If you want to say that they are agents of others, they usually give them a few points.
Jiang Yue was very clever, so he rescued Gu Zheng from the Tang style courtyard and visited the city of Tokyo in a loose situation.
The days that followed... Were three days.
Gu Zheng pinched the time and ordered the return tickets. When they were about to expire, agent Huang came back with a crowd of people and dusty.
Looking at the look on each other's face, Gu Zheng's mouth was a pick: ”this is a good talk? What good news to share?”
Agent Huang didn't show off either. He took out several documents that Gu Zheng needed to read and sign. When the other party looked through them, he simply said the results of the negotiations for Gu Zheng in recent days.
”We have a preliminary plan for the general direction. As for the details, it can't be agreed in just two or three days.”
”What's more, the art star making process is so long, and the later investment direction and angle will be adjusted with the change of the market.”
”This means that our cooperation contract is also in the process of continuous supplement and adjustment.”
”Therefore, you don't have to worry too much about Gu Zheng's contract, because the company we cooperate with will maximize the benefits you need.”
”Now it depends on your intention. The intention of the company's investment department and our cooperation with Chinese traditional paintings and the Institute of modern art. The domestic promotion and sales chain of works will never be handed over to the Japanese.”
”But because of their star making level in the world and their position in high-end works of art and modern works of art.”
”We have decided that the overseas export right and Exhibition right of your paintings will be handed over to them.”
”In this way, we can not only ensure the copyright ownership of the best works, but also maximize the value of your works of art, show the artistic attainments of young Chinese painters, and achieve the perfect result of one arrow and three carvings.”
”Well, Gu Zheng, if you have no objection, you can temporarily entrust your entrustment right to foreign art exhibitions to the Plenipotentiary of our company.”
”If you have concerns and reservations, I think we can commission for a period of one year at the lowest time.”
”If you are satisfied, you can renew it year by year. What do you think of my proposal?”
