My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 288 Acceptance
Sir Conto's full name is Heslet Conto, and this April is his seventieth birthday.

Don't think that he is healthy and healthy now, but he is old after all. As the saying goes, people don't use their muscles and bones as energy, and it is impossible to tell when a fall will cause their health to fail.So he always thought about doing what he wanted to do first.

Making Kangtao one of the most famous red wines in the world has been his biggest vision since he was a child, and it has almost come true now. In at most two or three years, he is confident that the world will know about Kangtao. pottery.

This second thought was the reason why he went to Han Qi.

With his status and status, a dream is no longer a dream, but just an idea. It depends on whether you are willing to do it and what energy you use to do it.

For example, the dream of many people is to live in a big villa and have dozens of wives.

This is a dream that many people dare not even dream of.

But is that a thing for a man of Sir Contaur's stature?Their family owns countless properties in Italy, and it is not difficult to live in a villa for a month.

Let's talk about marrying a concubine.

Sir Kang Tao said that he has 46 lovers and I don't want to tell you.

The second thought is to have a self-portrait.

Just like Verry Le Brun, self-portraits like Vincent van Gogh.

To say that this self-portrait is actually an art form, if you want to follow the schools in oil painting, you can make it into a school by itself.But this faction has no independent technique, it depends on how the artist wants to express.

You paint a flailing, indescribable thing, but if the artist thinks it’s a self-portrait, that’s fine, no problem at all.

What Kang Tao wants is obviously not this kind.

He wanted a work that, like the Mona Lisa, could be passed down as a classic.

Although he knew that it would be difficult for later works of art to reach the status of the Mona Lisa, he still had to have ambitions, and he would not put this self-portrait in other places, but in this Kangtao Manor, as a A flag to use.

He exchanged a lot of his ideas with Han Qi, but in the end it all depends on whether Han Qi is willing or not.

"An American painted a picture for me before. It looks very similar to me. It belongs to... How should I put it, it's the same as looking at a photo." Jazz waved to a servant, and after a few instructions, he said to Han Qi, "My name is Someone bring it for you to see."

In a few minutes, the painting was brought over.

It was framed with a picture frame, and the people inside were exactly the same as the jazz in reality, just like the photos.

And it's Ultra HD 4K.

If you hadn't looked closely, you probably wouldn't have known it was painted with a brush.

Sir Conto said:

"He said that this is the latest form of painting, but I think it is very different from the oil painting in my heart. If the oil painting is created like this, why should I paint? Wouldn't it be better to use a camera."

Han Qi nodded inaudibly.

He didn't like to judge others behind their backs, but he also felt that Sir Contao was right.

Painting is painting, photography is photography.

He is proficient in both professions, so he can tell the difference.

In terms of light and shadow and composition, the two do have similarities and even intersections, but oil painting is oil painting, so you can’t rely on photography?No matter how close you are, can you compare to real photography?

The three elements of a painter are paper, pen and soul.

Art without a soul is equal to a dead thing.

Han Qi basically understood Sir Kang Tao's needs, but he never made a statement.

He has never been restricted in his creation, so he doesn't know whether he can make the best oil painting under such a requirement.If the painting is bad, isn't it just smashing your own signboard?
but……

He gave too much.

For Han Qi, self-portrait is simpler than landscape painting.

Because the elements are much less,

If it takes half a month to paint a landscape painting, then the time to paint a portrait will be reduced by half, and the painting can be completed in at most ten days.

It is such a simple painting that Sir Contao is willing to pay 3000 million euros.

This TM.

These European local tyrants really don't regard money as money. What is the concept of 3000 million euros?
As long as the money is in hand, Han Qi's dream of building a manor will be less than half completed. At least buying a piece of land that can be used to realize his ideas is no problem, as long as it is not in the center of a particularly prosperous city.

3000 million euros.

Han Qi's current cash is actually less than 1000 million.

This refers to Huaxia coins.

He earns a lot, but also spends it quickly.

Some time ago, I bought a house for my family, a house for myself, a luxury car, etc. These are all large expenses.And Han Qi also likes to buy clothes, some clothes are luxury items, and the price is not cheap.

So he is considering whether to dedicate part of his freedom to art.

But without hesitating for long, Han Qi agreed.

If you don't agree, you can't do it. The money is too tempting, and the workload is actually not particularly high. If you work harder, you may be able to finish it within a month... Don't ask why it's so slow, it's lazy to ask.

Han Qi is out for travel, not for work.

He is only willing to spend the little time before going to bed every night to create.

"I promise you, I will not let you down." Han Qi stood up and stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Sir Kang Tao and say goodbye.

Han Qi could see that he was dozing off a bit.

Hearing Han Qi's agreement, Kang Tao also cheered up, stood up and shook hands with Han Qi and said, "I believe that your level will find you, draw well, and draw with confidence, as long as you have [-]% of the charm of your two works." .”

After finishing speaking, he asked one of his housekeepers to send Han Qi out, and casually invited: "We will have a simple party tonight, and we will invite some Italian artists. If you want, you can also come and have a seat."

There are many art salons and parties in Italy, but it is difficult to get involved without introduction.

However, Han Qi didn't come here to mix with the art circle, so he nodded and didn't say whether he would come or not.

The butler took Han Qi out.

The butler is about 50 years old. He is clean and fresh. He doesn't know his age, but he is very capable.

His tone of voice and walking posture were all very standard, as if he had been learning how to be a good housekeeper since he was a child. Han Qi somehow thought of an anime he had watched before.

This man really looked like he was beating up the housekeeper of the enemy family.

However, people are much easier to talk to than the group of people in the anime. When I took Han Qi out, I also introduced to Han Qi the things that can be visited in the manor.

"Go straight down the corridor to the east, and you can see our grape fields. In order to have enough grape racks in this manor, the nobles used dynamite to flatten two mountain peaks 200 years ago, forming such a large area. plain."

Han Qi nodded: "I'm just going to take a look, don't you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind. In fact, many of the guests who attended the luncheon have gone. The grapes inside will not be fully picked until the second half of the month, but there are many ripe ones now. You can pick whatever you like when you go there. go back."

"Follow me please," he said.

Soon Han Qi saw a sea of ​​grapes.

August is the best month for grapes.

That is to say, during the two months of August and September, this year’s red wine will start to be brewed. This year, as Kangtao successfully entered the top ten wineries, it is also a special year. Perhaps the 21-year-old Kangtao Red wine will be very expensive in the future.

Because there is not much outflow, the winery will definitely hold back a lot of wine of this vintage.

The grape trellis is really as continuous as the sea to an invisible place. People who come here do not go deep, and most of them look at the bunches of fresh fruits on the grape trellis at the place where they just entered.

The butler brought Han Qi over and left. He walked in alone, and soon saw Evelina and Ronnie. Ronnie was eating a bunch of grapes. Very cheerful person.

Evelina was sitting on a stone chair not far from him, reading a book.

Han Qi walked over and asked, "Are you here to enjoy the shade?"

The sun in August is still very strong, but there are such a large area of ​​grape groves here, blocking eight or nine parts of the sun, and at the same time enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the outside, it seems very pleasant.

"Of course." Evelina glanced at Han Qi and asked curiously, "What did Kang Tao ask you for? Of course you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Just pretend I didn't ask."

"It's nothing, he is my fan and wants to ask me to draw a picture, it's as simple as that."

Evelina did not believe it, she nodded and said, "It is said that Kang Tao is an old man who likes oil paintings and musicals. It seems that the rumors are true."

Han Qi said:
"Yes, I have seen some of his collections, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fanatic of oil paintings, but he is more restrained, and he probably doesn't like to talk about these things with others on social media."

"Then you want to draw him?"

"Of course, this is paid. He gives the money, and I paint. This is the way of life of an ordinary painter."

"Are you still an ordinary painter?"

Evelina is already despising Han Qi, who told Han Qi to lie to her in the first place?

He is also a photographer and travels around the world poorly.

"Haha, maybe it's just a little bit better than ordinary painters, just a little bit." Han Qi made gestures.

Ronion came too, and sat at the same stone table with them.

"What are you laughing at? You're so happy, and it makes me happy to say it. To be honest, I'm almost drunk from eating grapes."

"Are you drunk from the red wine just now?" Han Qi said.

It is true that the red wine in the luncheon is free, but free is not the same as free. Han Qi only drank three glasses in total, and these three glasses made him almost drunk... But the wine that Ronion drank was Ten times that of Han Qi.

Twenty or thirty cups.

Han Qi was very curious about how Ronion did it. After all, he is an ordinary human being with such a big stomach. Shouldn't he look pregnant after drinking dozens of glasses of wine?

But Ronion was normal. Not only did his stomach not grow bigger, but he also spoke clearly.

"Can you get drunk with red wine? Don't be kidding." Ronnie laughed.

Han Qi stopped talking... He had clearly seen this person drunk before, sitting in a corner where no one cared about him, and almost fell asleep bit by bit, but now he can only say that Ronion's hangover ability is good.

They didn't know much about painting, so they didn't talk about painting, but Evelina's magazine.

Not to mention her magazine, either, but Evelina has a lot of rights in Panorama.

The editor-in-chief of the magazine had too many entertainments, and Evelina, who was an assistant, was actually helping her with many things, and only occasionally accompanied the editor-in-chief to meet people.

And with Han Qi's identity, even if he draws a random sketch, the magazine will hold a meeting to study whether the work can be published. If not, an editor has to come to explain to Han Qi why it cannot be published.

This is the status that top painters should have in Europe.

Just like the photographer Sean Pan that Han Qi met in the morning, he has cooperated with more than five magazines in the United States. Han Qi also checked the information just now.

Such a person is his fan, Han Qi suddenly feels a little proud.

After recovering, Evelina was still introducing Han Qi: "It would be even better if it was your painting. I just searched your paintings on the Internet, and they are all good. It doesn't matter if you can't write articles. Sometimes there are editors who are willing to polish your article."

"No, I don't want to use painting." Han Qi shook his head and said, "I have some other ideas, but I'm not sure yet. I'll let you know when the time comes, or I'll send you the article directly after I finish it."

In fact, as long as Han Qi authorizes a painting to them, the editors of the magazine will very quickly create the past and present of a painting.

After saying this, Han Qi saw that it was getting late, so he wanted to go back to the Rome Hotel first.

"I'm leaving first, back to Rome, how about you?"

Evelina said: "I still have to attend the party tonight, I guess I will go back tomorrow."

"Me too tomorrow," said Ronion.

After finally coming to Kangtao Winery, there are wines everywhere, Ronion will not let this opportunity go, and he will go back later if he can... And he is not worried about his friend Evelina, can you? Dare to let her live here alone, even if she wants to talk to someone, there is no way.

Han Qi didn't participate in the evening art salon, and after saying goodbye to Evelina, he walked out of the manor and found a taxi on the road outside.

Homecoming is like an arrow,
His guys are in Rome, so he wants to get back to the computer early.

It's definitely not for playing games. How can there be 3000 million euros for playing games?So Han Qi wanted to paint the first tone in the next few days, and wait until he came back from his trip to Florence, when the oil painting was done, and then he would finish the latter part.

It took almost an hour before the car stopped downstairs at the hotel.

Han Qi yawned and went upstairs. When he opened the door, everything inside was there, but it was very messy.

Chaos is right. At that time, Han Qi wanted to go out and see the real Italy, so he threw his luggage and came out.

Han Qi took out the folded easel from it, unfolded it and put it under the bay window of the balcony.

This should be the sunniest place in the entire suite, and the white paper can even emit glare under such light, which forced Han Qi to find a new place, which was not so bright.

Everything is ready, Han Qi pondered in his heart.

"self-portrait……"

I haven't painted before, why don't I draw two self-portraits of myself first?
