On November 1st, the exhibition of Merrill Lynch Gallery officially began.

Even if it is the entire Nanyun City, there are actually not many people who pay attention.

The audience for art exhibitions is actually not large. Only some art lovers and collectors will be interested.

Fortunately, Merrill Lynch's art exhibition is free of admission, and the publicity is still in place, so the first day of the exhibition was quite lively.

When the exhibition officially began, many visitors poured in.

Merrill Lynch Gallery covers an area of more than 1,600 square meters.

The theme of this exhibition is nature and beauty, and the main purpose is to promote nature and environmental protection to the audience, which is a very common theme.

Speaking of which, Yang Xixi's 'bustling city' has nothing to do with this theme at all, and even has a negative meaning.

However, it is not only Yang Xixi's 'bustling city', but also many paintings that have nothing to do with the theme in the exhibition.

There is no way, if it really fits the theme, Merrill Lynch has to vacate at least half of the booths.

The only works that really fit the theme are the works that Merrill Lynch has contracted with artists in advance.

"This one is good, it should be quite intentional to hang it in my bedroom, sixty-eight thousand...... It's a little expensive!"

"It's okay! The paintings sold by Merrill Lynch Gallery, even if they are not well-known painters, must be a bit unique, and they can't afford to lose money when they buy them back. ”

"Then buy this one, I'll ask. ”

"Don't you look at anything else? You buy it back, and you can get the painting after the exhibition is over. ”

"Settle down first, lest you be bought. Didn't you say that in the art exhibitions of Merrill Lynch, there are often situations where many people want to buy the same painting? Anyway, I think this painting is quite tasteful, with mountains and rivers, and looks atmospheric. Since you said that you would not suffer, it was meaningless to hesitate. ”

"It's okay, maybe someone else bought it first!"

Less than 10 minutes into the exhibition, many people decided to buy the exhibited works.

That's what sets Merrill Lynch apart from other galleries.

The reputation of Merrill Lynch Gallery is also reflected here.

Many art owners, senior white-collar workers, and collectors in Nanyun City know very well that the works that can enter Merrill Lynch Gallery are not bad, and the pricing is also fair and reasonable. Over time, I also developed the idea that since I fancy it, I can't afford to lose money if I buy it.

Opening a gallery and cultivating a group of regular customers who have this idea is already the greatest success.

Of course, the foundation of this success is actually based on Merrill Lynch's attitude towards painters.

If it were not for the discovery and cultivation of a large number of emerging painters, Merrill Lynch would not have been able to guarantee that all the works in the gallery would be of good quality, and the prices negotiated with the painters would not have been fair and reasonable.

In the café opposite the gallery, Lin Hailou waited slowly while drinking coffee.

Every time he held an art exhibition, he was able to make a lot of money. This time, before the exhibition was held, he made a huge amount of 10 million in venue fees.

Cool crooked!

Now, he doesn't care much about how many paintings he can sell in this exhibition. He wanted to wait for the peak period when the audience entered the gallery to go to the gallery to see what the painting that brought him 10 million yuan, the scroll was 25 meters long, and the staff was more than 100 people.

At around half past eleven, Lin Hailou estimated that it was almost there.

At this time, the gallery has passed its peak period, and the first visitors have almost left. Although there is still a week left for the exhibition, the audience will come one after another in the later stage.

got up to pay the bill, and Lin Hailou came all the way to the gallery.

None of the staff, none of them he knew, none of them knew him.

Bitter!

When he entered his own gallery, he had no privileges, and he had to register his ID card and other information like all visitors.

There are even more programs than usual.

At the door, there is a set of security equipment.

Through the security gate, Lin Hailou entered the gallery all the way.

Along the way, there was no one.

"What's the situation?"

Lin Hailou was a little dazed, although the peak period had passed, it was almost time for lunch. But there was no one, not even the period when he first opened the gallery in his early years.

It's not scientific.

"Could it be that you went to see that painting?"

Lin Hailou was a little staggered.

They all flocked to see that painting, which only shows that the painting has a lot of attraction.

I just don't know if the attraction is good or bad.

His pace quickened a few times, and he walked inside.

Merrill Lynch Gallery is composed of exhibition halls and corridors, and when he walked to the last exhibition hall, Lin Hailou was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, everyone is here.

Densely packed, this is an art exhibition, which is more crowded and noisy than the vegetable market.

Lin Hailou tried to squeeze in, but there was no way at all.

"Damn, who squeezed Lao Tzu out? His mother's, okay, Lao Tzu slapped him to death. ”

Next to him, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a famous brand all over his body, who looked like a local tyrant at first glance, scolded.

Lin Hailou couldn't help frowning.

Merrill Lynch Gallery has no shortage of rich people who can't read paintings and don't have any quality. Generally speaking, these rich landowners look at which painting is pleasing to the eye, spend money and turn around and leave. The clubhouse or something is more than a hundred times more interesting than an art exhibition, how can there be time to waste in this kind of place.

The fat boss had to squeeze in.

That painting, it can't be a work of human body portraits, right?

Twenty-five-meter-long human portrait ......

Lin Hailou wanted to say MMP.

If this is the case, Merrill Lynch Gallery will be famous all over the country.

In less than three days, Merrill Lynch Gallery exhibited a 25-meter-long portrait of the human body, and the news of various poses had to spread all over the Internet.

He couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Forget it, let's take a look at the quality of this 25-meter-long human portrait in various poses!

He tried to squeeze in again, but there was nothing he could do.

"Five hundred yuan, five hundred yuan, the front, let's change positions, and I'll transfer you five hundred yuan. After the fat boss scolded and found that it didn't work, he took out his mobile phone and signaled to the audience in front of him.

"Really?" the young man in front of him looked over.

"WeChat scan code!" The fat boss opened the > directly, "Okay!"

The young man immediately agreed.

Anyway, I can't squeeze in, it's just to see everyone coming here, and I want to squeeze in to see how it goes. Someone spends money to change positions with themselves, and the difference is only twenty or thirty centimeters, don't do it in vain.

The two sides quickly made a deal.

The young man pushed his position out a little, and when the fat boss got in, he immediately stepped back and left all the space for the fat boss.

"I'm tired of Lao Tzu. ”

The fat boss was sweating profusely and panting.

"Mom, I'm fascinated by it! I don't know which bastard squeezed me out. ”

After complaining, the fat boss patted the shoulder of the person in front of him again.

Five hundred, change positions.

Behind, Lin Hailou was speechless.

Is that okay too?

As for it?

All the way to the front, to say the least, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Tens of thousands of dollars, it is better to directly find a woman to perform various poses for yourself.

He didn't know that the fat boss's banknote tactics would be ineffective in the middle.

Because in the middle, the audience in front of them more or less saw the 'bustling city', and no one wanted to take a step back for five hundred yuan.

"Forget it, let's come back after eating!"

On the periphery, Lin Hailou squeezed a few more times, and after finding that there was no way, he chose to quit.

After finding a hotel and having lunch, Lin Hailou thought about it for a while and opened another room to sleep.

When he returned to the gallery at three o'clock in the afternoon, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Outside the gallery, there was a long queue of more than 100 people.

When I stepped forward, I found a notice posted at the door.

The rules of the exhibition have been changed so that only 100 people are allowed to enter the exhibition for one hour at a time. If you want to visit, you need to register and make a reservation outside.

After the reservation is successful, you can enter the venue with your ID card during the appointment time.

24 hours a day.

Lin Hailou didn't know how to describe his mood.

Is this 25-meter-long portrait of the human body really that attractive?

Look at the time of the notice, it is one o'clock in the afternoon.

It's been two hours since they were registered, and there are still more than 100 people queuing. According to this posture, the total number of people has at least broken 1,000.

There are only 1,000 people in an hour, which means that today is not something to see.

Lin Hailou couldn't laugh or cry.

As a gallery owner, why is it so difficult to see a painting that is on display in your gallery?

No way, come back tomorrow morning!

There are so many art lovers in Nanyun City, 24 hours a day or something, Lin Hailou feels that it is purely redundant. Although human body portraits can attract a large number of non-art lovers, the reality is not the Internet after all, and there are always a few people who really come back to see it.

Touching his nose, Lin Hailou turned around and went to the parking lot to drive home.

The next morning, he returned to the gallery.

The whole person was completely confused.

The number of staff in charge of appointment registration at the door has also increased from one to five. But in front of the five staff members, there was still a sea of people, longer than yesterday's team.

Is there any mistake?

Lin Hailou took out his mobile phone and called Li Chuan, the answer was the same as him, he couldn't figure out what was going on at all.

patting his head, Lin Hailou suddenly came to his senses.

It's so lively, it's completely beyond the scope of visiting the art exhibition, and I can't guarantee that the news has already come out on the Internet.

He immediately turned on his phone and searched the Internet for Merrill Lynch Gallery.

"Nanyun Merrill Lynch Gallery Surprises a Masterpiece!"

"A painting that will never be forgotten, if you don't look at it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"One Painting One World, 'Prosperous City', a Real Masterpiece!"

Not a human portrait?

Lin Hailou opened one of the posts, and in addition to a thousand-word praise, there were more than a dozen photos of the painting.

It's all a certain clip, and the shooting technique is not very good, but with Lin Hailou's professional eye, I can judge at a glance that this painting is definitely a top master's work in terms of brushwork and structure.

Rao is Lin Hailou, and he couldn't help but have an urge to go to the scene to take a look.
