However, the Foundation's approach can still be understood.

The foundation is not a philanthropist, it is mainly to make money, and it is obvious that it is Chen Xiao's painting that moved them.

Roland only had some regrets about Chen Xiao's refusal, and did not say much.

In fact, she was also prepared to take some risks when she made this decision, after all, she could not guarantee that every painting of Chen Xiao would have such strength.

If you look at it this way, it's actually a little more secure in another way.

"Mr. Chen Xiao, I want to buy this painting of yours on behalf of the Foundation, I don't know if you are willing. ”

"Now I started to want to buy my own paintings?" Chen Xiao was still very happy, which showed that the painting was recognized.

"How much can you pay?"

Chen Xiao shook the topic back up.

Roland thought for a moment and said, "Three million dollars, whether this painting can be sold or not has nothing to do with you." ”

"Three...... Three million ......"

The painters next to them were silent, this was three million dollars, and they couldn't help but think about how much their peak painting sold for.

And this has to go through a series of packaging and operations.

But the painter in front of him is not a painter, and just a painting that he has just painted can be directly acquired for three million dollars.

What kind of god is this?

"This gentleman, I can pay 3.5 million dollars, I am very optimistic about this painting, and I will definitely not bury this painting. ”

After Roland made a bid, another person made a bid, and said that he would definitely manage the painting well.

What does a painter care about most?

Is it money?

No!

It's fame......

And he also added $500,000 to ensure that Chen Xiao will definitely be tempted.

The people around looked at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Is $3.5 million more?

It is indeed a lot, if he had such an opportunity when he just graduated, he could be sure that he would not hesitate to sell this painting directly.

But after such a long time, he is no longer the Chen Xiao who was short of money before.

Just "Comet" on the video website, the next income may bring him more than that.

So, why did he leave the classics of his previous life in France because of such a small amount of money?

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to sell this painting. ”

"4 million, and I can dedicate an art exhibition to it!"

"Sorry, it's not about the money. ”

Chen Xiao still refused, this is really not a matter of money.

At least the price that the people present can offer cannot match the value of this painting, and he knows that if the price of "Starry Night" is to be fully reflected, it will take at least a certain amount of time to precipitate.

Frank desperately gave Chen Xiao a look, but Chen Xiao was unmoved.

He didn't understand what Chen Xiao wanted to do, did he want to package it himself and then sell it at a higher price?

As for not selling?

It's impossible.

If they could be sold, how could any painter want to collect his paintings?

He knew very well that if Chen Xiao wanted to obtain the greatest benefits and reputation, then selling to the foundation was undoubtedly the best choice.

It's just that Chen Xiao didn't seem to see his prompt.

"So, can I take this painting with me?"

Chen Xiao asked Martin, and he could see that this was the biggest person in charge of the exhibition.

"What? It's not in order......

"Yes, this painting is good, but you can't break the rules, and you will have to judge it later. ”

There was a lot of discussion among the painters around.

Martin thought for a moment and said, "It's really not in accordance with the rules. ”

Chen Xiao: "Mr. Martin, I'm not on the entry list, I just came in and painted a picture, which shouldn't be considered a broken rule." ”

"This ......"

If you think about it, it seems to be true, but this kind of thing has never happened before, so how can I say that?

Martin: "Mr. Chen Xiao, if you take this painting now, it is indeed not possible, but you can wait until the selection to come and take this painting away." ”

Chen Xiao frowned: "When is this?"

"A week later. ”

"A week?"

"Yes, all the painters' paintings present belong to them, you can rest assured, we will definitely keep them for you. ”

Chen Xiao thought for a while, if he leaves now, he will go to the animation festival first, and then he will go to the Netherlands, and if he flies back to France by then, he can still keep up.

But I didn't think about coming to France again.

Although I haven't turned around any of the attractions here, I haven't thought about running around by myself.

"Well, Mr. Martin, there's no other way, let's say I won't participate in the selection. ”

Martin shook his head: "I'm sorry, it's the rule, I can't do anything special, but you have another choice, isn't it whether you want to accept it?"

Chen Xiao seemed to see a smile in Martin's eyes, and always felt that this old guy would set himself up again.

But he didn't have any other way, who told him to be on someone else's turf.

"What's the solution?"

The smile in Martin's eyes finally appeared, and the corners of his mouth curled: "I am willing to submit an application to our Pompidou Cultural and Art Center, and I am willing to collect your work, I don't know if you are willing?"

"Huh?"

A cry of surprise, not from one person, but from most of the people in the hall.

They grew their mouths and looked incredulous.

Would the Centre Pompidou want to collect this painting?

Oh my God, we're not dreaming right now!

Perhaps many laymen don't know the weight of this art center, but who in the audience doesn't.

If it is a painter's dream to have his work in a world-class museum, then Pompidou's collection is something that can only be dreamed of.

The most famous museum in France, the first place is the Louvre.

Then the second place is the well-deserved Centre Pompidou.

However, the Louvre's collection criteria dictate that only works from the nineteenth and forties periods are to be collected.

Because of this rule, the Louvre is doomed to have no chance with modern painters.

As a result, the Centre Pompidou has become a sacred place in the minds of painters.

Chen Xiao also knows the reputation of this cultural center, and he has heard the news before that the magic capital is trying to promote cooperation with the Pompidou Cultural Center.

It is hoped that the Pompidou Cultural Center will establish a branch in the magic city, so as to increase the weight of the magic city's art circle.

It's not a question of money anymore.

And Frank couldn't help it anymore at this time, and shouted, "Chen, hurry up and agree!"

To be honest, Chen Xiao was also a little moved.

But instead of being crazy like the other painters, he asked, "If so, in what way?"
