The Man Who has reproduced Gogh's work the most in the World #2

Xiaoyoung wants to go to Amsterdam, of course.
a Dutch gallery said that if he only prepares his own round-trip ticket, he doesn't have to worry about anything else. Xiaoyoung has had a dream that is to go to the Van Gogh Museum since he met a customer of Amsterdam. He says he wants to see the real work, touches Van Gogh's heart at the time, and gets something for himself. he wants to determine his future goals.

On New Year's Day, at a small banquet with relatives, Xiaoyoung tells everyone his dream of going to the Van Gogh Museum. He speaks, 'I have been drawing Van Gogh's work for a long time, so I must watch the real work.'

However, in the workshop at night, his wife tells Xiaoyoung that she wants him to give up going to the Netherlands. The reason is money. Their lives are not wealthy and the cost of traveling to Amsterdam is much higher for the family than the Dutch gallery was imagined. his wife tells Xiaoyoung about with a quiet voice. She doesn't get angry because she knows Xiaoyoung's feelings. Xiaoyoung says he can't give up. Their little son senses the disturbing atmosphere of parents and talks to Xiaoyoung, "This Manju is delicious," "Hey, why don't you eat?", to calm them down. After all, the conclusion wasn't reached that night.

The scene changes here and the studio of Zhou Youngjiu(周永久)is introduced. From here, the documentary focuses on Xiaoyoung's family and peers and captures the people of Daegu.

Youngjiu's workshop has sold over 300,000 reproductions so far. Van Gogh's reproduction is also the main product in his workshop.
His workshop employs a lot of painters, as far as I can see in the video, there are more than 20 painters.
In this scene, an inexperienced painter is picked up. He receives attention from Youngjiu about the quality of the painting, but he can't accept it and throws a brush.

Certainly, his painting is not enough and can't sell as a product. He replies to Youngjiu, "How many times should I fix it?", But Youngjiu tells him, "We have to do it because We received the order."
He turns to Van Gogh's self-portrait again and begins to confront the painting.

In the next scene, Xiaoyoung's daughter appears. She usually goes to a high school in the countryside, lives alone away from family. However she couldn't understand the dialect, so hasn't got to class. She tells her father, wants to quit high school and go to an urban vocational school to learn skills and English. But Xiaoyoung doesn't allow her to quit high school.

On the other hand, Youngjiu's son works part-time in the countryside during the summer vacation. The daily salary is only 70 yuan. Youngjiu wants his son to understand the importance of money by doing bottom-most work, but his son also says that rural life is painful and he wants to return to Daegu.

Next, cheerful painters who are taking a break appear. A complete change from the previous scene, everyone smiles, smokes cigarettes calls a partner, and loves the little birds. they delight to finish their big orders soon and are wondering how to spend their vacation. They are the people in contrast to Xiaoyoung's daughter and Youngjiu's son, they find a job in Daegu and leave a modest life.

The scene changes and the camera returns to Xiaoyoung's workshop.
He says, "I'm going to negotiate a price increase for orders from the Dutch," and his story resumes.
