You know, in China, only the top painters can sell a work for 200,000 yuan.
And those who are slightly weaker are tens of thousands of dollars or more than 100,000 yuan according to the quality of the work.
For people like Bubu and others who haven¡¯t graduated yet and don¡¯t have any reputation, 3,500 yuan for a piece of work is already pretty good. More often than not, their work simply goes unnoticed.
Who would spend thousands of dollars to buy a piece of waste paper and take it back?
¡°When Teacher Qi said that her works were selling for a high price just now, Bubu thought it was 10,000 yuan. It's worth 20,000 yuan.
When Teacher Qi said that one of her works sold for 200,000 yuan, even she was shocked.
It¡¯s not that the buyer is crazy. Teacher Qi, who told her that her work cost 200,000 yuan a piece, was crazy.
"Who wants to buy? Where is the buyer?" Bubu raised his eyebrows. asked. She could see that although Teacher Qi's expression was excited, it was not crazy yet.
So, in other words, the buyer is a madman?
"It's in the reception room of the guild hall. The buyer has been waiting for a long time and wants to meet the author. That's why I called you all the way and urged you to come over quickly." Teacher Qi said with a red face.
Teacher Qi made a gesture and said: "Let's go. I will take you there. Such a buyer must be well treated. Bubu, you may become popular this time. Don't forget the teacher in the future."
Bubu nodded, Teacher Qi was very excited and even more busy with work.
Liu Xiang is famous, isn¡¯t his master also taking advantage of it?
The Molin Boya Gallery is a relatively high-end exhibition hall in Yanjing, and exhibitions of works by many masters are also held here. This exhibition of students' works can be held here thanks to the good connections of the principals of several art schools.
The reception room of the guild hall is on the left side of the exhibition hall. Next to it is a cafe with an elegant environment. Separated by a wall is the guild hall used for business negotiations.
Teacher Qi led the way, and from afar, the muscles on his face adjusted again, showing the most perfect smile, and said enthusiastically to a woman sitting on the sofa drinking water: "Manager Su, I'm sorry to let you down." You've been waiting for a long time. The person you want to see is here. Her name is Bubu, and she is the author of the two paintings "Mirror" and "Wildfire"."
Teacher Qi pointed at the woman in front of him with permed curly hair, delicate face, and well-dressed clothes and said, "Bubu. This is Manager Su."
"Hello, Manager Su." Bubu was slightly surprised.
She thought that if people who were willing to pay 200,000 yuan to buy her paintings were not crazy, then they would definitely have other willingness. Either he is grandpa's disciple, or uncle Chen Huai'en's disciple, or there is another possibility, that is, he is his father's subordinate¡ª¡ª
But she was not familiar with this beautiful woman at all and had never had any communication with her.
Why was she willing to spend 400,000 to buy two of her paintings?
"Hello. I'm Susan. I'm very interested in your paintings. I'm willing to pay 400,000 to buy the two works "Mirror" and "Wildfire". What do you think?" Susan stood up and shook hands with Bubu.
At the same time, she was also looking at the girl in front of her carefully.
Based on my understanding of that guy, I am afraid that it was because of these long legs that he suddenly called me and asked her to do this, right?
"How hateful. Why don't these legs grow on me?" Su Shan thought with self-pity.
"Okay. To be honest. I am very satisfied to be able to sell it at such a price." Bubu said. "But what I don't understand is¡ª¡ªI don't think they're worth that much."
The smile on Teacher Qi¡¯s face suddenly froze. He didn¡¯t expect that his proud disciple would say such useless words.
"Haha, Bubu doesn't have to be humble. You are a very talented student. Among the many students I have taught, you are the one with the most potential. Perhaps what Manager Su gave you was not the current price of your work, but The price may appreciate in the future." Teacher Qi was trying to smooth things over. At the same time, he was still winking at Bubu, telling her to stop talking nonsense and lose this opportunity to become famous.
Susan laughed, this girl's frankness made people very comfortable.
"Then what kind of work do you think is worth the price?"
"Probably the works of domestic masters. For example, Chen Danqing." Bubu was slightly surprised and replied.
"Then can you tell me, what kind of work is a master?"
"this¡ª¡ª"
"Art has no boundaries at all. Right?" Susan smiled kindly. "Then how can you say that your work is not worth two hundred thousand?"
"Yes. Yes. Manager Su is a businessman and an artistic person. He has deep research on this industry. Deep research." Teacher Qi high-fived.
"If you have no questions, shall we sign a transfer agreement?" Susan took out a contract from her briefcase and said to Bubu in a formal manner.
"Okay." Bubu said.
Just when he was about to sign, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean head walked in quickly. After seeing Teacher Qi, he asked anxiously: "Teacher Qi. Teacher Qi. Have you seen Bubu?"
The person who came here is a vice dean of the School of Art of Shuimu University and Teacher Qi¡¯s immediate boss. This time, students from the School of Art of Shuimu University came to participate in the exhibition, and he was also the leader.
Teacher Qi didn¡¯t know why he came here to see Bubu, but he must have felt very uncomfortable if someone took away a piece of his victory.
But this person is his immediate boss, and it¡¯s not easy for him to offend. I could only ask with a sorry smile: "Dean Chen, Bubu is here. What's the matter?"
When Teacher Qi was talking, Dean Chen had already seen Bu Bu, who was half covered by the sofa. He did not answer Teacher Qi's words, but ran to Bu Bu with excitement and said, "Bu Bu, someone is offering 300,000 yuan. I want to buy your "Mirror". This time you are going to be popular. Three hundred thousand. How many painters in China can sell a painting for three hundred thousand?"
"Three hundred thousand?" Teacher Qi's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
What is going on today? Are these people crazy?
When "Mirror" and "Wildfire" were reported, he approved them. He has also seen these two works. In addition to the good concept, the brushwork is a bit immature.
The work can be said to be the best, but even Bubu himself would not dare to admit that it is not better than it.
But why are some people willing to pay such a high price to buy it? And two of them appeared at once?
Could it be that there is some mystery in this painting that I have overlooked?
no. I have to go back and see it again.
"But the contract is about to be signed here." Teacher Qi pointed at Su Shan and said with a look of embarrassment.
"Signing? What kind of contract? Qi Wenbin, why didn't you report the signing to the school? Isn't it still unsigned? We naturally have to follow the principles of market economy, and the one with the highest price gets it. All this money must be donated to From the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area." The vice-principal said unhappily.
"Six hundred thousand. I want both." Susan was very angry and said rudely.
"This¡ª¡ª" As soon as Su Shan raised the price, the vice principal was also in a dilemma.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I'll go out and talk to the client first. You¡ª¡ª you talk first. Don't sign the contract yet."
After saying that, the principal ran out dragging his somewhat bloated figure.
"What's going on?" Even Bubu himself was confused.
Soon, the principal ran back. His face was flushed, and his expression of joy overflowed, and he said: "The client said that he is willing to pay 400,000 yuan to buy Bubu's "Mirror". 400,000 yuan. Haha, this lady, look at¡ª¡ª"
"Eight hundred thousand. I want both." Su Shan said unceremoniously. "However, if it is higher, let it be given to the mystery shopper. This is the highest limit I can bear."
"Okay. Okay. I'll ask again. I'll ask again." The vice-principal said cheerfully.
Just as he went out, he ran back and shouted to Bubu: "Bubu, don't sign the contract yet. Don't sign the contract yet. I'm doing this for your own good."
After a while, the vice principal came back. He walked up to Su Shan with a flattering look on his face and said, "I told the customer what was going on inside. The customer said that a gentleman does not take what others like. Since there is a beautiful lady here who took a fancy to those two first, Painting, then he should give up. You see¡ª¡ª"
He is also very anxious now. If the customers outside give up competition, suddenly they won¡¯t want to compete here either. Then they didn¡¯t draw water out of a bamboo basket but in vain?
Four hundred thousand for one piece. Who among domestic painters still has such a price?
Su Shan showed a certain degree of disgust towards the vice-principal's attitude. When Teacher Qi was sighing inwardly that the game was about to end, she heard her voice say in a clear voice: "Now, can we sign the contract?"
"Ah. Okay. Okay." Teacher Bai was so excited that he ran over and took out the pen and handed it to Susan.
"Thank you." Bubu glanced at Susan and said. She always felt that things were not soOrder, but haven't been able to find the key to the problem.
After the agreement was signed, Susan wrote the check on the spot.
When I put away the folder, when I was leaving, I was intercepted by the vice president full of laughter.
"This¡ª¡ªMr. Su, right? Haha, I am the deputy dean of the School of Art of Shuimu University. That's right, because the nature of this book fair is a charity, so there will be a press reception later. Yes. After all, all the money raised from this book fair will be donated to the disaster areas. Including the two paintings you bought for Bubu, 800,000 yuan."
Speaking of this amount, Principal Chen¡¯s heart ached.
¡°If I had known it was so valuable, I wouldn¡¯t have come to the exhibition.
"You are the largest purchaser of this art exhibition, and we would like to invite you to attend this press conference. In this way, it will be beneficial to our author Bubu, and it will also be considered as making some contributions to the disaster area. I think you A person of this status will definitely not refuse. Right?"
"What do I want to talk about?" Su Shan glanced at Principal Chen and said impatiently.
"Haha. It's very simple. When interviewed by a reporter, you just explain your motivation for purchasing these two paintings."
"Okay. Because I like these two paintings." Su Shan readily agreed.
At 3:25, the press conference started on time.
Under the introduction of Principal Chen, when these media reporters learned that a student¡¯s work was purchased for 800,000 yuan, it caused an uproar.
"How is that possible? Eight hundred thousand?"
"Isn't this playing house? Are you showing off your brain?"
"How can a bunch of little brats who haven't graduated from school sell for such a price? Isn't it just hype?"
"Don't worry about hype or not. This is the news provided to us by the organizer. We must seize it well¡ª¡ª"
"Quiet. Everyone, please be quiet." Principal Chen shouted through the microphone. The reporters no longer made any noise inside the venue.
"We have discussed with the author, and according to the agreement before the exhibition, all the 800,000 yuan in royalties from these two paintings will be donated to the Wenchuan disaster area. Now, we have invited Bu Bu, a student from Shuimu University, to purchase the two works. Ms. Susan comes on stage."
Bubu and Susan came on stage together, and the two beauties appeared together, causing the lights in the audience to flicker.
"Ms. Su, may I ask, why are you willing to pay such a high price to buy two works by a student? You know, such a price can completely buy the works of domestic first-tier famous artists."
"From a personal point of view, I like the two works "Mirror" and "Wildfire" very much. Because their themes and creativity are very good. The theme of "Mirror" expresses reflection, another reflection of me. And "Mirror" The theme of "Wildfire" is emptiness, the emptiness after wildfires. Seeing them, I can think of many things."
"In terms of collection value, I also have reasons to buy them. Well-painted works are very common, but works with themes and depth are rare. Domestic painters have entered a misunderstanding. Everyone is diligently practicing basic skills. The techniques are solid and sophisticated. But they have lost the ability to think and innovate. The paintings they painted are beautiful, but that's all."
"So, we at Famous World want to acquire some paintings by potential newcomers. In the future, I think they will bring us considerable profits."
"Miss Bubu, your paintings have sold for such a high price, what do you think?"
"I'm very excited." Bubu calmly faced the media in the audience. I thought to myself, it turns out that she is famous all over the world.
"All the royalties from this publication will be donated to the disaster-stricken areas. Do you feel heartbroken?"
"Yes. But this is what I should do." Bubu said.
There was warm applause and knowing laughter from the audience.
"There is another news to tell you. When Ms. Susan purchased these two paintings, there was a mysterious guest who also liked "Mirror" and "Wildfire" at the same time. And the price was high ¡ª¡ª"
Wow!
There was another uproar in the audience.
After attending the press conference, Bubu and Susan walked out together.
"Where is he?" Bubu asked.
"He is. Find him yourself." Su Shan smiled. "My work is done. I'll take my leave now."
When I turned around, the sadness in my heart spread like a vine, invading my whole body.
