1. Chapter 662 Mountains and Rivers

Qian Yong sat down on the floor dejectedly, with a helpless expression. Looking at the painting in front of him, which had been torn by himself, his heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle.

After sitting on the ground for a while, Qian Yong had to sit on the sofa again, no matter what, the painting in his hand had been torn, and it was meaningless whether it was genuine or not.

Now Xu Hong on TV is naturally very happy to hear this expert Yu's words. He looked at Expert Yu and said, "Thank you for your evaluation, it seems that the paintings I collected this time have not suffered any losses." ”

"Okay, you guys wait a little longer, I'm going to take a closer look at this painting again. "Expert Yu is now very interested in the painting in front of him. Just a casual look at it, I felt that this painting is very good. Now he wanted to take a closer look. After all, he felt that he had never seen such a good work.

"It's okay, Expert Yu, you appreciate it slowly!" Xu Hong listened to Expert Yu's words, and said politely.

Now Expert Yu began to look at Xu Hong's works carefully, and the host was also standing on the side, waiting for the expert to identify this painting again.

In this way, after a few more minutes, Expert Yu looked at Xu Hong again and said: "It's really amazing, this painting of yours is really a masterpiece! This is Mr. Shi's most proud work." ”

Upon hearing this, Xu Hong looked at Expert Yu and asked, "Do you know the author of this painting?" ”

"That's right, speaking of which, I'm also a student of Shi Lao. Shi Lao was originally the most famous painter in our capital. It was only later that he moved to the United States and became Chinese-American. In this way, his fame in the capital is not very big. But some old painters of my age are still from Mr. Shi, a great painter. Expert Yu said again.

"Oh, that's the case! But Shi Lao is an American, how could his paintings appear at auctions in the capital? Xu Hong looked at Expert Yu in confusion and said.

"I don't know much about this, maybe I want to make some contribution to my hometown, so I donated one of my paintings. Expert Yu said. "Oh, that's right!" Xu Hong also chimed in.

"Expert Yu, then look at the painting in Xu Hong's collection, how much can the current market price be? Just now, you just said that Xu Hong didn't buy a loss, so can he make money now? The host didn't speak for a long time, and now he looked at Expert Yu and asked such a thing. After all, this is also something that the audience wants to know.

At this time, Yu looked at everyone and said: "According to my estimate, the current market price of Shi Lao's "Landscape and Spring River Map" is at least more than 20 million. However, the price will definitely continue to soar. Because, I also heard a news recently, saying that Shi Lao may not be painting anymore. Because, Shi Lao is already ninety years old this year, and he has reached the age of sealing the pen. Of course, this is a piece of grapevine. However, I feel that this news is still very likely. Because, I am a student of Shi Lao, and I often know about the teacher's physical condition. I knew that my teacher's health had not been good for the past two years, and it was impossible for me to continue drawing.

Also, I have just seen from the teacher's "Landscape and Spring River" that the teacher has used his life's painting skills in this painting. It can be said that the teacher just wants to use this work as his own pen. Since the teacher has expressed his lifelong love for painting skills in such a masterpiece, this painting must be regarded as the pinnacle of Shi Lao's work. That means that his old man has the intention of retiring.

Therefore, I feel that Shi Lao must have stopped painting after finishing this masterpiece. It's time to live out your old age in real peace. Therefore, now this masterpiece of painting will continue to appreciate in value, and it is unlikely to depreciate. Now that Xu Hong has collected such a masterpiece, he must be able to sit back and wait for the appreciation of this work.

Therefore, once the news of Shi Lao's pen sealing is confirmed, the price of this "Landscape and Spring River" will surely soar. Whoever has collected such a masterpiece is really lucky. Even I envy this person! As a student of Teacher Shi, I didn't get the pinnacle of Teacher Shi. ”

As soon as the expert Yu said this, the scene immediately broke out into warm applause. Everyone cast envious glances at Xu Hong.

The host also came to Xu Hong and said: "Xu Hong, you are really lucky! Now, you are just a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, but you already have this work worth tens of millions!"

Xu Hong listened to the host's words, and said in a modest tone: "Is this it!

It's just that Qian Yong and Qian Shiming, who were sitting in front of the TV, were completely dumbfounded after listening to the words of Expert Yu just now, and they couldn't have imagined that Xu Hong's luck would be so good that he could collect Mr. Shi's pinnacle work.

But no matter what, Qian Yong and Qian Shiming can only face such a reality now, this time Qian Shiming originally wanted to let him compare Xu Hong with Xu Hong at the auction, so that Xu Hong would be embarrassed once. But as a result, it is not that Xu Hong is embarrassed, but that his father is embarrassed. Not only was it embarrassing, but it also lost 20 million.

Now after Qian Yong is heartbroken, he feels that there is a fire in his heart and there is no place to send it! Thinking about all this, it was his son's idea, and he suddenly became angry again. Looking at his son, it was another scolding. Qian Shiming listened to Lao Tzu's scolding, and he didn't dare to say anything, after all, all this was his bad idea!

-------------------------------------

Besides, how did Xu Hong participate in the program of 'Beijing Satellite TV's 'Treasure of Paintings' this time. This is because Xu Hong also likes to watch this show. Recently, he also collected this "Landscape and Spring River", and naturally wanted to identify it on this show. Although Xu Hong has already concluded that the painting in his collection is an authentic work. But he still has to listen to the experts' evaluations. So, he took this painting and participated in this show.

After this incident passed, Qian Shiming did not dare to compete with Xu Hong anymore. He knows that now whether it is about financial resources or talent, he is not Xu Hong's opponent, and if he wants to compete with others again, it will be humiliating himself.

And Xu Hong is now devoting himself to his own painting creation. At this time, Li Wenhai told him another piece of news, saying that an international painting competition would be held in the United States this year. This is a drawing contest with a lot of influence. If anyone can win the championship in this competition, then he can be said to be a world-class painter.

Although Xu Hong is already a famous painter in China, of course Li Wenhai also wants Xu Hong to go to the next level. After all, Xu Hong is a student at their school. The greater Xu Hong's fame, the greater the fame of their 'Beijing Academy of Fine Arts' will be.

After Xu Hong got the news, he was also very happy, he knew that as long as he could paint a work and win the grand prize in this international painting competition, then he would really realize his great dream for many years.

Therefore, Xu Hong immediately agreed to Li Wenhai's suggestion and was willing to participate in this world-class painting competition. However, Li Wenhai also told Xu Hong that such a competition is not something you can participate in if you want to. If you want to participate in the painting competition, you must first get the grand prize in the domestic painting competition. Only the first place in the country can participate in such a competition.

After all, there are more than two hundred countries in the world. Even if the first place in each country participates, it will take more than 200 people!

Although Xu Hong won the championship of the 'National Youth Painting Competition' last time. But most of the participants in that competition were students from art academies and some young people in society who liked painting. Not all people in all countries are engaged in painting.

After all, the name of this contest is the 'National Youth Painting Competition'. In other words, only young painters are allowed to participate. This 'National Youth Painting Competition'. Originally, there was a rule that the age should not exceed 30 years old. Because he is over thirty years old, he can no longer be regarded as a young man.

And this time, go to the United States to participate in this world-class painting competition, which is regardless of age, anyone can participate, as long as you can get the first place in the 'National Painting Competition', you can participate in such a competition.

Such a contest can be said to be the greatest dream of people who are engaged in painting in any country. Anyone who likes to draw may have the greatest dream in his life to become the champion of this 'World Painting Competition'.

Of course, there is only one champion, and not everyone can get it. But no matter what, as long as you can participate in such a world-class painting competition, it will be a great honor for any painting lover.

Therefore, if Xu Hong wants to win the championship of this 'World Painting Competition', then he must first get a ticket for this 'World Painting Competition'. In other words, he must first win the championship of the 'National Painting Competition'. Only in this way will he be eligible to participate in this 'World Painting Competition'. In this way, he could win the championship of this 'World Painting Competition'.

But Xu Hong also knows that it will not be easy for him to win the championship of the 'National Youth Painting Competition' this time. The last 'National Youth Painting Competition' followed the 'National Painting Competition'. Although the name of this competition does not seem to have changed much, that is, there are only two words missing.

But Xu Hong knew that although there were only two words missing, the opponents he had to face were many times more, and the strength of these opponents was much stronger than the last 'National Youth Painting Competition'.

Because, most of the participants who participated in the 'National Youth Painting Competition' last time were young people. Few of these people are professional painters. Even if there are some professional painters, they are also some third-rate painters.

Everyone knows that in the painting industry, some of the top great painters are generally old people. After all, the art of painting is not the world of young people. This art of painting is not the same as the art of performance. Performing arts, you are young and beautiful, that is your greatest capital. But the art of painting, no matter how young and beautiful you are, there is no use for birds. Only if you are skilled in painting, that is your greatest strength.

However, the skill of painting is also a skill that is very difficult to improve quickly, and this is a gradual process. As the saying goes, 'there is no end to art'. This is especially true for learning the art of drawing. Without twenty or thirty years of skill, it is difficult for you to reach the level of a master.

Although Xu Hong also knew that the level of painters in this parallel world he was reborn was not very good. But this can't be said that these painters are all rice buckets, and they don't know anything at all. That is, of course, inappropriate.

As the saying goes, this 'cripple picks a general in it'. Among these not very good painters, if you pick them, you can still pick some painters with a relatively high level of painting. Take the capital as an example, if you pick it, you can still pick out more than a dozen great painters with a relatively high level.

Xu Hong knew that if he wanted to win the championship in this 'National Painting Competition' again this time, he would have to face the challenge of all painters in the country. And that's a tough challenge. If you want to beat all the painters in the country, then your painting level, you must be a blockbuster.

"What should I do, what should I do to get the title of champion of this 'National Painting Competition'!" Xu Hong was thinking about it now. After all, this is the time for him to really face some formidable opponents.

"No, I can't live in the Academy anymore. I want to live outside, I need a quiet environment. Only when there is a quiet environment can you make a stunning painting. Xu Hong knew that he could no longer paint in school. After all, the school is a complicated place, and it is impossible to create meditation here.

Xu Hong thought about it and felt that he needed to buy a house in the capital. Because, only by buying a house, can he have a quiet environment.

But houses in the capital are very expensive, and not anyone can buy them if they want to. The housing prices in this urban area are tens of thousands. Any three-bedroom apartment would cost millions. And Xu Hong has almost no money in his hands now. Because, he has invested all the money he made in the last art exhibition into the painting "Landscape and Spring River".
