Sun Yi smiled and asked Zhang Tong, "Boss Zhang, which one do you guess is more expensive?"

Sun Yi smiled, and Zhang Tong also smiled. Zhang Tong just laughed, but he had no intention of answering at all. Because he has a fifty percent feeling, Sun Yi is also a liar.

Although it is not necessarily the same as Wang Wu, because Sun Yi does not have the unique electromagnetic field of Wang Wu, it may be a new type of fraud in the new era? The key to this type of fraud is to lure the deceived to have a dialogue at their pace. And Zhang Tong obviously had no intention of following the other party's rhythm, so he didn't answer, and just hung Sun Yi like this.

This made Sun Yi very embarrassed, didn't he already control the rhythm? Why did the other party suddenly not answer the question? This made his smile shallow and frozen.

"Cough~" The embarrassment was a little long, and Sun Yi coughed dryly to relieve the embarrassment. Since Zhang Tong didn't speak, he could only say it himself: "Since Boss Zhang can't guess the price, let me tell you." ”

Sun Yi smiled again, he looked more professional than many people who sell insurance.

The stone statue is the work of a young sculptor who has recently made a name for himself in Europe, and it previously sold for $120,000 at an auction house in New York. Sun Yi pointed to the price of the stone statue.

Then he pointed to the part of the Fudo Ming King and said, "And this is a work made by Takayuki Takeya, a well-known prototype master in the figure industry." It is currently in the possession of a figurine-collecting enthusiast and is said to have sold for around $90,000. ”

Zhang Tong didn't answer, he just dried Sun Yi like this. Anyway, he was dragging his feet and waiting for Jiang Hua to come over.

And Zhang Tong's non-cooperation did not discourage Sun Yi, he continued: "Boss Zhang, didn't you watch it just now. Do you also think that Takayuki Takeya's statue of the Fudo Ming King is beautiful?"

Zhang Tong nodded at this inquiry, and he admitted: "At least from my personal point of view, that Fudo Ming King is very beautiful." ”

Sun Yi slapped his face: "Yes! That's the truth." Why is it that the statue of a young artist who has just become famous can be more expensive than the sculpture of a god-level prototype in the figurine, which is commonly known as a plastic villain?"

Saying these words, Sun Yi kept taking out new pictures from his bag. This is a photocopy of many famous paintings. Including "Starry Sky", "Scream", "Sunflowers", "Journey to Streams and Mountains" and so on.

He took out all of the pictures and spread them out on the table, and then took out many other paintings. Or illustrations by cartoonists to be exact.

These include Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball", Katsuya Terada's "The Great Ape King", and Inoue Yuhiko's "Wanderer".

It can be seen that these paintings are specially used to express painting skills, and they are not the rush work of ordinary serialized comics. Rather, it is carefully drawn over a long period of time, and it is used to publish albums or open exhibitions.

"Boss Zhang, don't worry about my financial management project for now, I'll just ask you a question personally. Do you like these paintings and think they look good (Sun Yi pointed to famous paintings), or do you think these paintings are better looking and more in line with your aesthetics (Sun Yi pointed to comics). ”

Zhang Tongji pointed to Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball painting without thinking and said: "Since you said so, then I'll be honest, I don't have any artistic accomplishment and don't know how to appreciate famous paintings, or Dragon Ball I like better." Zhang Tong has not seen "The Great Ape King" and "Wanderer's Journey" and does not know the characters in these two paintings.

But as Zhang Tong himself said, put aside the question of whether the other party is a liar or not. Just talking about the question itself raised by Sun Yi, do you like the so-called world famous paintings or comics? Zhang Tong chose the latter without hesitation.

If you want to follow the mainstream aesthetics, then you should choose world famous paintings. After all, for hundreds of years, everyone has said how good, beautiful, and deep they are.

Well, maybe they're really good, beautiful, and deep. But I'm sorry, Zhang Tong can't appreciate it. He is not an art student, and he can't understand what kind of power and technique is contained in "Sunflowers".

But he can see in the illustration of Inoue Yuhiko's "Wanderer" the temperament of a very arrogant and strong man (the protagonist is Miyamoto Musashi). This method of expression is very straightforward, but the artist's intention is obvious, and Zhang Tong accepts it, so he chooses the side of the comic.

As for the mainstream aesthetics or the appreciation of world famous paintings in high-end aesthetics? I'm sorry, but Zhang Tong doesn't plan to study, nor does he plan to get closer. Of course, this lack of proximity does not mean resistance. This is just the result of the selection based on the comparison of the paintings that Sun Yi took out this time.

It's like between the previously mediocre (at least in Zhang Tong's opinion) statue and the Fudo Ming King, he chose the latter.

Zhang Tong is not a delicate and pretentious person, nor does he pretend to be pretentious and deliberately pretend how profound and tasteful he is. He will not follow the authority to do it because of what the mainstream and authority say or what the wind direction is, and he also echoes the other party.

Because this is too ridiculous for Zhang Tong. Now Zhang Tong is a very free and easy person, a person who does what he wants in the true sense. Looking at the whole world, Zhang Tong does not have any authority that needs to be echoed and flattered. Now he has values that are different from most people.

I like mine, there's no need to cater to others. That's why he was willing to answer Sun Yi's question, because his heart had changed a little and he began to be a little interested in what Sun Yi said.

Sun Yi clapped his hands when he heard Zhang Tong's answer: "That's it!

"Sculpture and calligraphy and painting or something. Didn't I say that?" Zhang Tong knows a little bit about art investment like most people, but he doesn't know what it is or how to operate it.

"Yes, paintings, paintings and sculptures. But Boss Zhang, have you thought about it, why can those world-famous paintings or so-called works of art be sold so expensive?" Sun Yi waved his fist: "Let's put aside deliberate speculation and money laundering, just talk about those real collectors." What do you think is the purpose of them paying a high price for art?"

Zhang Tong thought for a while: "Wait for the appreciation of the artwork, and then they like it." That's probably it. ”

"Ha!" Sun Yi laughed: "Boss Zhang, you said the point." Appreciation and likes. But these two points go hand in hand. Collectors are willing to pay a premium for these works of art that they are willing to pay a premium for someone else's hand. ”

And it was their purchases that led to the appreciation of the artworks. This is the essence of the art market. Like something, buy it, and then the price will rise!" Sun Yi was a little excited when he said this.

"And that's exactly what I'm working on, it's not a traditional art market. It's a much broader market, facing the next few decades. Since these works of art, whether they are calligraphy, paintings or sculptures, they are sold for value because some people like them. ”

"So why not look a little further. Why can't we treat the aesthetics of the present generation and base ourselves on them in 20 years?!" Sun Yi said loudly.

His ideas were unique, and Zhang Tong was a little surprised. If the other party is really a liar, he is also a liar with a lot of ideas! Zhang Tong thought: Things have become interesting.

Jiang Hua also quietly came to the store at this time and heard Sun Yi's words.

Later, Sun Yi said many theories that subverted the traditional thinking of Jiang Hua and Zhang Tong.
