Chapter 914 - Smashing the Cockscomb Cup

Tomorrow is the first day of Li Yanan's art exhibition.

On Thursday night, Yang Fei left Sean's house, returned to the exhibition hall, checked again, and made sure there was no problem before going home.

With overwhelming pre-publicity, the exhibition attracted many people to visit.

The number of Chinese in the United States is very large, and many people have heard that there are beautiful domestic painters who have held exhibitions at Harvard, and they have come to visit.

However, to their disappointment, the beautiful painter may be real, but the beautiful woman herself is not present.

However, the exhibition itself gave them enough surprises.

The entire exhibition hall is decorated with a luxurious Chinese classical scene.

At the end of the nineties, the use of sound, light, and shadow was not common enough, and the public only saw it in film and television dramas.

Yang Fei skillfully applied these visual elements to this exhibition, showing the ultimate beauty of Chinese painting, landscapes, flowers and birds, figures, and ink color.

Li Yanan's paintings are mostly landscapes, and in her paintings, she expresses more inner peace and tranquility.

And this kind of artistic conception is really the greatest charm of Chinese painting.

In order to let people know how to appreciate Chinese painting, it is necessary to let the people in the museum first have a general understanding of Chinese painting.

At the entrance, Yang Fei placed a large-size projection screen to introduce the glorious history of Chinese painting to the exhibitors, as well as the cultural relics and paintings collected in major museums, and then displayed the Chinese paintings auctioned by Sotheby's and other top international auction houses.

It is rare for foreigners to see such a Chinese-style exhibition, and as soon as they enter, they are deeply fascinated.

The Chinese in the United States, seeing such an exhibition, feel extremely cordial, as if they have gone home.

Every painting is clearly priced.

Some are $30,000, some are $100,000, some are $100,000, and most are $3 to $80,000.

The most expensive one is actually priced at 3.88 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 30 million yuan!

This painting hangs in the very center of the entire exhibition hall and is the largest and longest of all the paintings.

Countless exhibitors lingered in front of this sky-high painting.

"This painting is worth so much money?"

"I heard that when it was exhibited in China, someone offered 30 million yuan, but the painter himself did not sell it. ”

"It's really sky-high, a painting can be sold for so much money, more expensive than the paintings of many world-famous painters!"

"This is a fine brush painting, which depicts the whole landscape of Peach Blossom Village, with blooming peach blossom forests, beautiful streams, distant mountains, and temples on the mountains. ”

"Tsk, yes, it's a very good picture! ”

"Also, this is a long scroll painting, and the Gongbi painting is the most laborious, and it takes at least a year to complete a painting like this. ”

"Huh, so long, no wonder it's so expensive!"

"A painter must have the enthusiasm to create, to have inspiration, and to persist for twelve months, three hundred and sixty-five days, to create such a painting, maybe in her life, she will not create this kind of long scroll again, then this one is out of print, the price is very precious, it is understandable. ”

The people in charge of explaining are Chen Mo and Ning Xin.

All the explanations were also taught to them by Yang Fei in advance.

Two elegant, intellectual, and beautiful Oriental women, dressed in elegant high-slit cheongsams, explain the paintings, which in itself is a fascinating sight.

Beauty and painting complement each other.

This sky-high painting, of course, was arranged by Yang Fei for hype.

The long guns and short guns of the reporters are concentrated in front of this painting.

A day passed, and this "Spring in Peach Blossom Village" earned eyeballs, but no one bought it

With the backdrop of this sky-high painting, everyone felt that the other paintings of tens of thousands of dollars were not expensive and acceptable, and investors, collectors and appreciators from all over the United States bought more than a dozen paintings.

On the second day of the exhibition, an old man with white hair came to the exhibition with a cane, and he fell in love with "Spring in Peach Blossom Village" at a glance, and after asking the price, he bought it without saying a word.

The old man's purchase of the sky-high price of the painting suddenly became the headline of the day, not only in the current political news, but also in the art and financial newspapers.

The $3.88 million painting is still from the hand of an oriental beauty painter!

Li Yanan and her paintings suddenly became popular in the United States.

On the third day of the exhibition, more collectors and investors rushed to hear the news.

If someone is willing to spend $3.88 million to buy a painting, then the other paintings of this artist must also be collectible!

However, to their regret, when they arrived, Chen Mo, who was in charge of the exhibition venue, informed: "The exhibition is over, thank you for your support." ”

"Didn't you say it would end at five o'clock this afternoon?" someone asked, "It's only ten o'clock in the morning, why is it over?"

"As soon as the museum opened today, a rich man came, and he bought all the paintings by himself. ”

"Oh my God, who is it?"

"Sorry, we can't reveal the names of our guests. ”

"Excuse me, do you have any other paintings by Ms. Li Yanan? Didn't you advertise in the early stage that there were 300 paintings coming to the exhibition? Could it be that all of them were bought by one person?"

"Unfortunately, during the flight, there were some accidents and 200 paintings were lost. We are dealing with it urgently, and if we find the whereabouts of those paintings, we may add an exhibition. ”

"When will you find those paintings?"

"It may be that the shipping company made a mistake and handed our luggage to someone else to take it, or maybe it was because of other mistakes, and we are urgently contacting and dealing with it. When will we find it, sorry, we don't know. ”

"It's a pity! I've got the cash ready to collect a painting by Ms. Li!"

"Please be patient and wait for the notice. If we find a painting, we will advertise it again in newspapers and on television. ”

"That's all. Be sure to come early next time!"

What was supposed to be a three-day exhibition ended in two days.

When the museum closed, Chen Mo asked Yang Fei extremely puzzled: "The paintings are selling well, in two days, 26 paintings have been sold, the average price of each is about 50,000 US dollars, and 1.3 million US dollars have been earned! Why did you take all the paintings temporarily? If you don't do it, you can sell at least 20 paintings today!"

Yang Fei smiled like a mystery: "There is a collector in China who bought two sky-high cockscomb cups during the Ming Chenghua period, and when he got his hands, he smashed one in public, do you know why? That small cup, the price is hundreds of millions." But he just smashed it, and he didn't blink an eyelid. ”

When Chen Mo heard this, he said in surprise: "He must have a lot of money! Or he is crazy!"
