Chapter 701: Starting at 130 million RMB
Three days later, the Hilton Hotel in Magic City, Christie's auction site.
As the world's leading auctioneer, Christie's attracts the world's attention in every auction.
Even if you are not interested in these antique calligraphy and paintings, you want to witness the price of these treasures.
Not to mention, there are also some lovers of these treasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Christie's, where we will be selling 29 ...... today"
As soon as the host of the auction house opened the opening statement, Christie's first lot was presented.
"Now auction the first item. ”
A blonde woman brought a 20-carat diamond to the booth.
"It's a 20 carat pink diamond, the biggest, purest and most beautiful diamond I've ever seen. This diamond is bigger than the Queen of England's, and when I hold it in my hand, it feels like a star in the sky. The original owner didn't want to sell, but in the end the business failed, so he couldn't bear to cut his love. Friends, if you are interested in this diamond. Then, raise your bidding cards. Now the auction is officially open, and the highest bidder wins, with a starting price of $20 million. ”
"$25 million. ”
"$30 million. ”
"$35 million. ”
After a lot of bidding, the 20-carat diamond was auctioned for a whopping $300 million.
The first 20-carat diamond was followed by more than a dozen more pieces from Christie's collection.
However, the collection of more than a dozen pieces is relatively average, and the auction is not as crazy as the first one.
Of course, many domestic viewers who were unable to come to the scene and could only watch the live broadcast in front of the TV were not particularly interested.
"Damn, it's all about shooting messy stuff. ”
"Actually, it's not bad, it's just that you're not interested. ”
"Maybe, Mo Bai's Eight Horses hasn't played yet?"
"I guess in the end, it's the finale. ”
"Pressing the car, tsk, from this point of view, the Eight Horses are going to fetch a sky-high price?"
Yes.
So many people are coming for Mo Bai and Mo Bai's Eight Horses.
In fact, not only them, but many Chinese people in the venue also came for the Eight Horses.
Therefore, although there are indeed many treasures at this auction, some local tyrants have not moved at all.
After more than an hour, the host cleared his throat: "Now the last auction is also the finale of our Christie's auction house tonight." ”
"I know that many people know what this work is, and I believe that many people also come for this work. That's right, he is "Eight Horses". ”
While speaking, at this time, the two staff members lifted the framed picture of the eight horses.
"Wow. ”
"It's atmospheric. ”
"It's so well drawn. ”
"Although it is painted with eight horses, it looks like ten thousand horses galloping. ”
"It's a stunning idea. ”
"Of course, the name is even more amazing, the Eight Horses Picture, listening to the name feels very atmospheric. ”
Although a group of fans have already seen the Eight Horses picture, when they take it out again at this time, countless people still can't stop marveling.
This is a masterpiece.
This is a rare treasure.
"It's so beautiful. ”
"It would be nice if I could shoot it myself. ”
The host's expression lit up like a crowd of fans: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been in charge of the auction for 20 years. One of the unfortunate things is that most of the works I auctioned off are no longer alive. However, the author of this work is an exception. The original author of the Eight Horses is still alive, not only alive, but also alive and healthy, and even very young. Most importantly, it's handsome. ”
The host's introduction made the audience laugh.
"So, in that case, we have invited Mr. Mo Bai, the original author of the Eight Horses. ”
Applause, madness hits.
"Mo Bai. ”
"Dabai came out. ”
"It's really handsome. ”
"Well, I didn't think Mo Bai was handsome before, but what's going on now, how can I get more and more handsome. ”
"That is, I don't look at how others pretend to be forced, and you can pretend to be forced all the way across various fields, and you become handsome even if you are not handsome. ”
"This answer is 6666......"
The crowd applauded wildly.
A group of fans in front of the screen are also excited to keep swiping the screen.
"Hello everyone, I'm Mo Bai, everyone's applause is a little warm, in fact, I am a painter for a living. ”
Under the grand welcome, Mo Bai appeared.
However, it was just an opening sentence, but Mo Bai once again made the audience burst into laughter.
"Pit force. ”
"It's still painting for a living, and you used to say you're a professional footballer. ”
"What a professional player, Mo Bai is obviously a professional writer. ”
"Just know, this guy has a bad deal. ”
While laughing, everyone looked at Mo Bai without blinking.
"Actually, I've always had a question, why are there some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, some book works, and their works are only valuable after the author's death? Could it be that these works were terrible during the author's lifetime, and became fine after death?"
I don't know why, but suddenly Mo Bai suddenly threw out this question.
"This ......"
"You know what?"
"I don't know. ”
"I've always known about this fact, but I don't know why. ”
Although they didn't understand why Mo Bai would say this, everyone was equally puzzled.
However, Mo Bai didn't want everyone to answer, and then said: "This question is actually very easy to answer, obviously not. Whether it is the author's life or after the author's death, the work is still this work, it has not faded, it has not added value, and it has not been processed by anyone. ”
Mo Bai continued: "I think we should do something about this, if we want more excellent artists to emerge in the world, first of all, we should give the author an identity, give him status, and even give him money during his lifetime. Let the world know that in fact, these excellent painters are not poor. In fact, these excellent authors, they can live well with their own paintings, their own, their own works...... It's like people working hard to create a better life. ”
Mo Bai's words were very sensational, and when everyone was relieved from the laughter, a group of people also entered the topic of Mo Bai.
yes.
Why these works of art can only be discovered after the author's death.
Why are these paintings worth only after the author's death?
Could it be that these works have changed differently after a few decades?
No.
Not really.
But why is this so?
They don't know.
No one can give an answer either.
However, looking at Mo Bai, people were moved by Mo Bai's words.
yes.
These artists, these painters, these writers are also people.
And they tried, too.
Why can't their efforts be recognized in their lifetime?
Does it have to be after their death that this gives them infinite fame and value?
However, for the artists who lived in their lifetime, this has nothing to do with them.
In other words, no matter how much money these works sell after they die, they have a relationship with Mao.
"Good, good. ”
"Mo Bai, I'll top you. ”
"Yes, a true artist should be recognized in life, not after death. ”
"Mo Bai said it too well. ”
A group of artists in the art circle were excited.
Mo Bai's words can be said to speak their hearts.
In other words, in fact, they are still alive and well, at least a little bit of fame, although they can't be popular, but at least they don't starve to death. But there are some artists who are different, because they are not recognized, they are not recognized, and their lives are extremely miserable. However, to say that their works are really not good, are they really worse than them, obviously not.
They just weren't discovered, they weren't recognized.
Perhaps, one day after their deaths, the works he left behind will burst into incomparable value.
It's a pity, even if that's it, what's the point of this and them in life?
"Okay, okay, don't be so serious, I was too sensational just now. But I've been poor lately, and I really can't help it. I can only eat on this painting......"
Although they always knew that Mo Bai was very strange, when everyone was immersed in Mo Bai's touching words and then heard Mo Bai suddenly say this, the crowd sprayed water on the spot.
"Nima, Mo Bai, don't be so shameless. ”
"My goodness, I understand now, it turned out to be a miserable sale in front of me. ”
"No, after all that, I just want everyone to be more generous and spend more money on your paintings. ”
The fans couldn't be happier.
Although Mo Bai is very strange every time, every time the strange performance is so fresh and amazing.
"I'm done talking. Actually, although there is some sensationalism in the above, and there are some spoofs in the back, and even many people will think that I am selling miserably, but in fact, what I say is what I say from my heart......"
Greeted everyone, extremely thankful, Mo Bai left the scene.
At this time, the host took Mo Bai's words and said: "The last treasure, the Eight Horses created by Mo Bai, is now starting to be auctioned, with a reserve price of 20 million US dollars and 130 million yuan ......."
Loudly, the host announced the auction of the last finale.

PS: Actually, the above is also Xiaobai's heart.
Well, since you have said what you have in your heart, let's start begging for subscriptions, monthly passes, and rewards...... It's a fit.
Brothers, roll all over the ground and beg.
