Chapter 1045: Full support
Of course, bang is willing to do this kind of interview. This kind of interview is for advertising him, and he doesn't have to invest a penny! Even though he has already gained an important and authoritative position in the European and American tattoo circles, who would dislike his reputation and making more money?
A standard big shot interview with the news, about thirty minutes, the reporter told Bang that they needed enough tattoo pattern materials. The problem was that Bang and Liu Lan had just started working together, and the agreement they signed was still very warm. After careful consideration, Liu Lan decided to calculate the price based on the number of words, with a single word of $5,000, and the contract period was tentatively set to one year.
Why is it 1,000 more than the price of $4,000 sold to Maria? Because Bang believes that Jason and Maria have helped Liu Lan get out of her reputation. They are equivalent to Liu Lan's living models. If ordinary people want to have tattoos, they must check out the finished product! Those big guys who really want to tattoo Chinese characters and can afford $4,000 will not care about paying 1,000 more yuan.
After Liu Lan came back, she received a message from Bang, telling her that another customer had made an appointment to ask for a Chinese character tattoo. He also sent the customer's requests, but Liu Lan had not had time to deal with this matter.
Professor Su reminded her that she remembered her.
She told Professor Su everything about her cooperation with an American tattoo artist.
Su Yi has never dealt with people with tattoos in his life. In the perception of the older generation, tattoos are really not a decent thing, and he never thought that calligraphy could be related to tattoos.
After accepting Liu Lan, the little apprentice, everything is really long-lasting. Fortunately, he was a fashionable grandfather and accepted new things very quickly. He also looked at tattoo photos of Jason and others online. It was indeed completely different from his old ideas in the past, but he didn't think there was anything evil.
Artworks like calligraphy, painting and calligraphy were originally a niche circle, following the principle that rare things are expensive. The fewer works circulating on the market, the higher the price. Therefore, a calligrapher earns as much money as he wrote 10,000 works. Moreover, his works often appreciate more significantly after the calligrapher's death, which is the same as those painters who were poor and famous after their death. Under such premise, Su Yi previously suggested that Liu Lan should not sell her works casually, so as not to spread the market and lead to depreciation. As a result, Liu Lan actually found another way to make money.
Tattoos are different from paper calligraphy. They cannot be circulated and they cannot move when they are tattooed on the body. There is no situation where the more tattoos you are depreciating. Instead, the more audiences you are, it will attract more people to follow the trend, directly increase the value of Liu Lan's works, and indirectly export Chinese character culture to the United States, killing multiple goals.
Su Yi felt excited when he thought about it. He was a person in his eighties and there were not many things that could make him excited.
He and several colleagues in the calligraphy world have offered calligraphy live courses on learning literature and ink. The considerable live broadcast income is one aspect, and more importantly, the number of young people who are interested in calligraphy is increasing day by day. In addition to browsing half an hour on Weibo every morning, he also spends half an hour reading fans' letters. Many people who encounter puzzled things when they practice calligraphy themselves send him private messages to ask questions. He tirelessly answers them and selflessly imparts his eighty-year calligraphy experience to these strange netizens who he has never even met.
So Su Yi lived a fulfilling life every day, became strong and walked with wind. Su Juan sometimes complained that her father walked too fast, so she could keep up with her trot.
It can be said that Liu Lan has half of the contributions to it. Su Yi looked at her and felt happy and relieved from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Lan thought that Professor Su would complain about her selling her calligraphy to Americans without his consent in the United States, but he kept smiling. She was puzzled, "Aren't you angry?"
Su Yi asked back, "Why am I angry?"
Liu Lan said carefully, "Calligraphy is elegant, but tattoos... are still not the mainstream of society."
"Then you are wrong. I don't think calligraphy is an elegant thing. It's just writing. Some people write well and some people write poorly. We cannot deprive anyone of the right to write, and we cannot hold a few words to the highest position. Living to my age, some things can be seen out of the way. I have no interest in seeking fame and reputation. I just want you to inherit my mantle and let more people regain their interest in calligraphy. If tattoos can enhance their interest, this kind of attempt is not bad. Just like the live broadcast we do, it is always right to keep up with the times."
After leaving Professor Su's office, Liu Lan felt more at ease. With the support of her teacher, she could let go of her courage to cooperate with Bang.
After getting in the car, she said to the driver Peng Kai, "Go to Ai Live Building, oh no, let's go to my online store first." She has too much work, otherwise why would she be so anxious to come back?
Under Zhang Pei's management, their cat food business was running normally and there was no problem. Liu Lan actually knew that her mother was there, so she didn't need to worry about the online store, she just came to meet her mother.
Zhang Pei was happy and excited when she saw her safe and sound daughter. She had no time to take care of her work. The two had dinner together and had something to say while eating. Liu Lan deliberately mentioned Peter's concern for herself in the United States, and also mentioned Lina's cooperation with them. She hoped that her mother could be with Peter as soon as possible.
"It turns out that Lina is going to dance!" Zhang Pei was a little surprised.
"Yes, she is also a participant in MV," Liu Lan had nothing to keep from her mother. Now MV is in full swing, and Lin Zhi's team is also assisting him. Jason hopes that physical records can be released and published within a week.
"But many people online criticized her for being a big shot."
"You don't know the style of media catching things," Liu Lan knew what Zhang Pei said. Lina was anxious to enter the market and shook the media's face. That night, her cold-faced photos and videos appeared on the European and American Internet. The media wrote an article saying that she was just a little famous internet celebrity, but she was extremely arrogant and domineering. There was also a face of Peter in the photo. His identity was not a secret. Soon, the information that Lina was the daughter of the Atkinson family in New Zealand was exposed by foreign netizens, and more people scolded her - most of them were haters and wealthy people, and typical people were famous and had more troubles.
Lina didn't care at all, and didn't let Liu Lan and the others explain for her, "Isn't it leaked the secret? When MV comes out, these misunderstandings will naturally be resolved." She left New York earlier than Liu Lan and left the next morning.
Liu Lan explained the whole story clearly, and Zhang Pei was relieved a little. She thought of something and asked Liu Lan, "Peter... Is there any problem with his work in the United States?"
"It probably didn't..." Liu Lan was not sure. She had been busy with her own affairs and had never talked to Peter about the work on cat food.
