820. A thousand words
When Shu Chang watched Miss Manners unfold Nie Wei's calligraphy works with white gloves, she was a little nervous in her heart.
This tension is mainly due to the final price of the lot.
In Shu Chang's heart, Nie Wei's calligraphy work must be the best work tonight, so it should also be auctioned at the highest price tonight.
But there are several celebrities in front of them whose items have been sold at a very high price, especially the cheongsam that Zhang Ziyi took out and the cheongsam she wore in "2046", which was auctioned for a sky-high price of 250,000 yuan.
Although Shu Chang is very confident in Nie Wei's calligraphy, the uncertain way of closing the auction still makes her a little apprehensive in her heart.
The next display is the lot sent by Miss Shu Chang, which is a volume of "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" written by her husband Mr. Nie Wei himself, this calligraphy work is about 110 cm long, about 50 cm wide, the full text totals 26 crosses, there is an inscription by Mr. Nie Wei, and Mr. Nie Wei used three seals on this work, including the introduction chapter, the name chapter and the pressure angle chapter, friends who are interested in this calligraphy can come to see it closely. ”
With the introduction of the auctioneer, many people got up and stepped forward to watch.
"Huh, this is written with a lot of meaning. ”
"Yes, yes, beautiful and healthy, it is really a treasure. ”
"It's rare, Nie Wei is only in his twenties, but he is very old in ink, and this word has muscles and bones, and it is unique, and he has become a grandmaster. ”
At first, Shu Chang was still a little apprehensive, but listening to a group of old men who seemed to be very knowledgeable around Nie Wei's calligraphy in his ears, listening to their words of praise, Shu Chang's hanging heart gradually let go back, and even a little proud look could not help but be revealed between his eyebrows.
Whoever makes these old men praise is her husband?
And although those people in the entertainment industry don't know much about calligraphy and painting, they can also see that Nie Wei's calligraphy is very good.
In the eyes of many people, this is obviously a good opportunity to talk to Shu Chang, not to become friends, at least to say hello, and it is good to be familiar with each other.
After all, Shu Chang's identity is not ordinary.
As Nie Wei's legally recognized wife, Shu Chang has become the true mistress of Nie Wei's business empire.
This is not only in terms of money, the key is that Nie Wei's energy in the Chinese entertainment industry is too huge, and Nie Wei has created an entertainment empire in the nine years since he entered the Chinese entertainment industry.
For example, Huayi, this company is now absolutely second to none in China in terms of film and television production and records.
And several variety shows launched by Nie Wei's variety show production company are also programs that countless artists in the Chinese entertainment industry want to participate in.
What's more, Nie Wei also controls Fanxing Weibo, the largest propaganda platform in China, which is the first social platform in China and can even rank among the top three in North America, and its publicity energy even top stars will feel red.
This is also the main reason why Huayi is always popular, backed by such a super online social platform, as long as Nie Wei uses a little resource, then even if it is a passerby, it will be known by hundreds of millions of people in a short period of time.
In addition, Nie Wei also has the largest number of screens in China, and the most important thing that cannot be ignored is actually Nie Wei's own talent, whether it is the movies and TV series he creates, or the music he writes, this is an opportunity that countless artists dream of participating.
"Miss Shu Chang, hello, take the liberty of asking, does Mr. Nie Wei have any other calligraphy works?" Just when Shu Chang was immersed in the praise of everyone and was extremely happy, an old gentleman over there suddenly came to Shu Chang's side and asked.
"Hello, yes, there are about a dozen of them, I haven't counted them carefully. Shu Changjian was a gray-haired old man, and although he was a little surprised by the other party's question, he still replied very politely.
Hearing that there were still works, the old man's face showed obvious joy, and the smile on his face became more amiable.
"Miss Shu Chang, I wonder if you have any ideas for selling these works?"
"What?" Shu Chang thought he had misheard, and looked at the old man in surprise.
"I admire Mr. Nie Wei's works very much and want to buy some for my private collection. After the old man saw Shu Chang's eyes, he immediately understood, and quickly explained, and then took out a business card that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Shu Chang: "If your husband intended, you can contact me through the phone number on this business card." ”
"Oh, okay. Shu Chang was a little stunned and took the business card handed over by the old man, subconsciously looked at it, and found that the position column above was written 'Vice President of the Chinese Calligraphy Association'.
Fan Binbin, who was on the side, heard the process of the conversation between the two, and looked at the business card curiously, and was immediately surprised by the title on the business card.
"Hey, Shu Chang, your Nie Wei is too powerful, even the vice president of the Calligraphy Association wants to buy his works?"
"I don't know. Shu Chang was also a little stunned at the moment, but although she was stunned, it didn't disturb her good mood, listening to Fan Binbin's exclamation, the corners of Shu Chang's mouth rose unconsciously.
After a while, Shu Chang received five more business cards, all of which had the same idea as the old man at the beginning, all of whom wanted to buy Nie Wei's calligraphy works.
After everyone has seen the calligraphy works that stand up, the auction officially begins.
In this charity night, all the auction items are auctioned at a reserve price of one yuan, and as a buyer, you can raise a card to increase the price, the minimum standard for a bid is 500, and the highest price for a bid is 100,000, among which there are several grades, not one by one.
Almost as soon as the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, someone immediately raised the bidding sign in his hand.
"Mr. Huang Xiaoming of Table No. 3 is a monk of 50,000 yuan!"
Accompanied by the auctioneer's offer, there was also an exclamation at the scene, this is the first time tonight that someone has just started the auction and offered a price of 50,000 yuan.
Shu Chang couldn't help but look towards table three, and soon found that Huang Xiaoming was also looking at him, and he also winked at himself.
Shu Chang immediately understood that this was obviously these stars of Huayi helping himself or Nie Wei's calligraphy works to build momentum.
As Huang Xiaoming raised the card, Fan Binbin, who was sitting next to Shu Chang, also immediately raised the card, and the same price increase was 50,000 yuan, and the scene once again sounded an exclamation, obviously many people did not expect that Nie Wei's calligraphy work would have such a strong momentum at the beginning.
Of course, some people began to gossip in their hearts, after all, the artists who raised the price twice were all Huayi, which is very suspicious of slapping the boss's ass.
But in any case, this calligraphy work caused quite a stir at the beginning of the auction.
Soon, Zhou Xun, who was at the same table as Shu Chang, also added to the fire, increasing the price of this calligraphy work to 150,000, Cheng Kun followed closely behind, adding another 50,000, and the four bids have already made Nie Wei's calligraphy work rise to 200,000, and it looks like it is about to exceed Zhang Ziyi's sky-high price of 250,000 cheongsam.
But at this time, Shu Chang was a little panicked, and it was naturally good for his friends to help him, but when he asked his friend to spend 200,000 yuan to buy this calligraphy back, Shu Chang really felt sorry in his heart.
After all, in her opinion, no matter how good Nie Wei's calligraphy is, it can't actually be worth so much money, right?
Just when she was worried about what to do if no one took over, the old man who had just talked to Shu Chang for the first time raised the sign in his hand for the first time at this auction.
And his shouting this time is directly the maximum amount of 100,000!
"Mr. Yuan Fei from Table No. 6 bids 300,000 !!" This time the bidder's voice unconsciously raised by three points, after all, as an auctioneer, the higher the price of the lot in his hand, the more he has a sense of achievement.
The old gentleman's move made Shu Chang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he must ask Nie Wei to give the old gentleman a painting when he turned around, but just when Shu Chang had just crossed this thought in his heart, another old gentleman surnamed Liu who was sitting at the same table as the old man also immediately raised his sign, and also added the highest 100,000.
The exclamations of the scene also sounded again, and this was just the beginning of the madness, the old man at that table did not see them raise their cards all night, but at this time, as if they had all been pressed the switch, they began to raise their cards and increase the price.
Those who began to slander in their hearts were stunned at this time, if it was still the artists of the Huayi Department who were cheering at the beginning, then what is this now, are those old men crazy?
Obviously, this is impossible, if a person is crazy, it is called crazy, but if a group of people follow crazy, then it is only said that what is being chased by that group of people must be valuable, but they don't see it through.
Just as everyone watched with wide eyes as the number of jumping numbers on the LED screen on the stage increased again and again, before they knew it, it had reached 900,000.
At this time, the competition between several old people has also reached a white-hot stage, and every time the price is raised, it is no longer a 105,000 increase, but a rise of 510,000.
The others were already dumbfounded at this time, and no one could have imagined that a pair of Nie Wei's calligraphy would be sold for nearly one million.
You must know that although Nie Wei has many titles, that is, he is a star and a successful entrepreneur, but after all, he is not very famous in the circle of calligraphy, at most, his fans will always show off that Nie Wei's signature is very good-looking, and everyone thinks it looks good after seeing those signatures.
But what I didn't expect was that these beautiful characters would be so valuable! It was even more valuable than the works of many calligraphers.
This "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" was quickly called to 950,000, and at this moment, Yuan Fei, the vice president of the Calligraphy Association, once again held up a sign labeling 100,000.
"Wow, Mr. Yuan Fei bid one hundred and one hundred thousand, is there a higher price than this?
"One hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, one hundred and fifty thousand for the second time, is there really no more bidding?"
Listening to the auctioneer on the stage still procrastinating there, Yuan Fei, who usually thinks that he has a good cultivation, wants to step forward and snatch the small hammer from the auctioneer's hand at this moment, and then knock this guy a few times.
At this time, the auctioneer on the stage did not know that he had provoked an old gentleman to be angry, and seeing that he had been agitated several times and no one had raised the price, he dropped the small hammer in his hand with his hand that was already trembling slightly.
"Congratulations to Mr. Yuan Fei for taking the calligraphy work "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" written by Mr. Nie Wei at a price of 1.05 million. ”
A celebrity's calligraphy work sold for 1.05 million yuan, which also made the competition for the following lots obviously a lot more boring, and even the buyers didn't seem to be much interested, and the auction ended with a few ordinary prices.
When the auction ended, Shu Chang and Yuan Fei, who auctioned Nie Wei's calligraphy works, were surrounded by reporters who were present to watch the whole process.
"Mr. Yuan, may I ask why you originally paid a sky-high price of 1050,000 yuan to buy Nie Wei's calligraphy? Do you really think that Nie Wei's calligraphy is already worth a million?"
Facing the reporter's question, Yuan Fei seemed very calm, and replied with a smile: "For example, the value of calligraphy and painting is measured by the preferences of collectors, and there is no absolute standard, and for me, Nie Wei's calligraphy is worth this price." ”
"Is that his character itself, or is it because of Nie Wei's fame?"
"Of course, because of the words themselves, Nie Wei's calligraphy already has the atmosphere of a grandmaster in my opinion, although he has not really stepped into the realm of divine products, but it is also the best in the wonderful products, and at Nie Wei's current age, as long as he is willing to calm down and concentrate on studying calligraphy skills, it may only take ten years or even less for him to step into the supreme realm of calligraphy. ”
"Otherwise, why do you think a few of us old guys are fighting, not only because Nie Wei's words are good, but also because of his own potential, so the price of a million is really not much, and I even feel that I have picked up a small bargain." Yuan Fei's last sentence seemed to be a joke, but the reporters couldn't stop talking.
Spent millions to buy Nie's only character and still feel that you have picked up a bargain?
If it were another old man, these reporters would have thought that the other party had Alzheimer's, but the person in front of him was the vice president of the Calligraphy Association, and his words made the reporter feel like he didn't believe it.
As for Shu Chang's side, the reporter really wanted to interview her, but after seeing the sensation, Su Mang hurriedly arranged for the security guard to escort Shu Chang from the VIP passage of the hotel to leave the scene, so that the reporter pounced.
It wasn't until he got into the nanny car that Shu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but the excitement that followed immediately came to his heart.
At this moment, she just wanted to tell Nie Wei about the result as soon as possible.
And at this moment, director Michael, who was far away in Jordan, finally remembered who Nie Wei was, and a feeling of worry faintly rose in his heart.
Nie Wei is not terrible about money, no matter how rich Nie Wei is, he has nothing to do with him, after all, Nie Wei has not invested even a penny in his movie, but Nie Wei's identity as the owner of AMC Cinema Line makes him deeply concerned.
