Chapter 196: Meet the Teacher
Zhao Ming saw that this roll of rice paper was 23 meters long! He could have allowed Xu Hong to paint a masterpiece! So he said to the boss: "Uncle, I want this roll of rice paper, how much do you want?"
When this chubby uncle heard Zhao Ming's words, he was stunned.
"Young man, why do you want so much! This is enough for you to paint for a year!" The fat uncle still looked at Zhao Ming with some puzzlement! He didn't expect that Zhao Ming would ask for all this rice paper!
"Uncle, I'm not going to paint for a year, I'm going to paint a work!" Zhao Ming looked at the fat uncle and laughed.
"What, do you want to paint a painting that is more than twenty meters long!" When the fat uncle heard Zhao Ming's words, he was also taken aback!
"Yes, you can quickly say how much it is! I want to paint a stunning work!" Zhao Ming said with a smile as he looked at the fat uncle.
"Okay, it seems that you are really a talent! Then I will support you and give you a cost price, just a hundred yuan!" said the fat boss as he rolled up the rice paper.
"Damn! This is still the cost price! Do you really not understand anything with me! You are really a businessman!" As soon as Zhao Ming heard the fat uncle's words, he knew that what the uncle was talking about was not the cost price, but he was just saying it on purpose.
But Zhao Ming didn't want to bargain with this uncle, because Xu Hong was still waiting for his rice paper! Moreover, they also made a lot of money at the last art exhibition. Now it can be said that they are all rich people. He, the 'big boss' of the pictorial company, still needs to deal with the 'little boss' who opened a grocery store!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming happily took out a hundred yuan from his pocket. Then he put it on the counter in front of him.
"Uncle. You're done. Give me the painting!" Zhao Ming couldn't wait to look at the fat uncle and said. "Okay, the young man is very happy, you have it. The fat uncle said as he gave the rice paper to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming took the rice paper, turned around and walked out of the store.
The fat uncle picked up the money on the counter, looked at it and said with a smile: "Silly boy, just you, what other amazing works do you paint." Do you think you are Master Yao! Master Yao has never painted such a big work!"
Although Zhao Ming walked out of the store, he still heard the fat uncle talking to himself in the store! But he didn't pay attention to the fat uncle, and soon walked out of the mall with rice paper.
Out of the mall, he quickly crossed the street, returned to the pictorial office, and came to Xu Hong's office.
"Brother Xu, what's the matter, I'm fast enough! You see if it's okay, this rice paper is just more than 20 meters long!" Zhao Ming said. put the rice paper on the floor, and opened it for Xu Hong to take a look.
"Good. Thank you Zhao Ming! It's okay here, you can leave, I'm going to start working on my best creation!"
As soon as Xu Hong saw that Zhao Ming had bought him the rice paper, he knew that it was time for him to paint a masterpiece.
When Xu Hong was painting, of course, he needed a quiet environment, so he let Zhao Ming leave!
"Okay, Brother Xu, then I won't bother you, you can paint with peace of mind!" Zhao Ming listened to Xu Hong's words, and he also left Xu Hong's office with interest.
Xu Hong placed the paper on the floor and unfolded a part. Because of his office, although the area is not small, it is only more than 30 square meters. The length of the floor is only seven or eight meters, and it is impossible to open all this roll of rice paper!
Xu Hong opened seven or eight meters first, and then put all the paint to be used on the floor. Then put some of the brushes you want to use on top of a pen holder.
Because this masterpiece almost uses the technique of splashing ink, the painter is required to put the paper on the floor, and then condescendingly, so as to try to "splash" the "ink" as well!
Xu Hong looked at the drawing paper, and then brewed his emotions for a while, imagining the appearance of "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" he had seen in his heart, and then began to paint-
Let's not say that Xu Hong is painting this masterpiece.
But after Chen Tian got the complete version of Xu Hong's "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", he was very happy in his heart.
He was in the hotel first and admired Xu Hong's masterpiece "Fuchun Mountain Residence". Then it was carefully put away.
"Hey, when I go back to Tiannan City this time, I should also go to see my teacher! I heard that he is now a monk! It's been more than ten years, and I haven't visited him!"
The teacher Chen Tian was talking about was none other than Master Huiyuan, whom Yao Hong had met before! When Master Huiyuan was still the principal of Tiannanmei Academy, Chen Tian had listened to his class!
You must know that Chen Tian was originally from Tiannan City, and he also graduated from Tiannan Academy. It's just that he later engaged in the collection of paintings, and became a big boss with a status of one billion, so he also settled in the capital.
This time, when Chen Tian returned to his hometown, one wanted to collect a work by Master Yao! Because as a collector, we all know that only the works of famous artists have room for appreciation! The works of ordinary painters are afraid that they have no value at all!
But any collector has their own preferences, that is, they will like a certain category of works, or the works of a certain ancient painter, so they will spare no effort to find these works, and when they find them, whether these works are famous or not, they will collect one!
Chen Tian is such a typical collector with preferences, and he is particularly fond of Huang Gongwang's famous painting "Residence in Fuchun Mountain"! But this work is a fragmentary painting, just like "Dream of Red Mansions", a fragmented masterpiece!
So Chen Tian wanted to see what the burned part of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" looked like! But for many years, he never saw that there was a painter who could paint the missing part of "Fuchun Mountain Residence"!
It wasn't until he saw Xu Hong's masterpiece that he was overjoyed, so he threw 10 million at all costs to collect Xu Hong's masterpiece!
Chen Tian admired Xu Hong's works. Then I wanted to do it before I went back to Beijing. Let's go see my teacher!
After Chen Tian had this idea. I decided to visit my teacher.
But as a student, he had to visit the teacher, so of course he couldn't go empty-handed.
"What kind of gifts should I take? Good cigarettes, good wine! Good food, high-end health products, high-end clothes, how can these be suitable for a monk! If he takes these things to meet his teacher, then it is strange that he does not kick himself out of the monastery!"
Chen Tianyi. I don't know what gift to take to meet my teacher!
"Hey, there is, let's take this "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" painted by Yao Hong! Anyway, this is a residual painting, and I only collected it for the sake of his Yao Hong's face. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't want this painting at all! With Xu Hong's complete version of "Fuchun Mountain Residence," what's the use of me asking for this 'remnant'! Okay! Just borrow flowers and offer Buddha! Why don't you just give this work painted by Yao Hong to my teacher? I heard that my teacher is a descendant of Huang Gongwang! Regardless of whether this is true or not, at least the teacher's surname is Huang, and he also admires his ancestor very much! I gave him a hand-me-down of Huang Gongwang. He will be very happy. ”
Chen Tian thought of a good note, he didn't have to spend money. When the time comes, the teacher will be happy.
After thinking about this, the next day, Chen Tian personally drove a small car and took Yao Hong's work "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" to a tourist attraction in Tiannan Mountain-Baiyun Temple.
After arriving at the temple, he went directly to the Daxiong Treasure Hall and put a pile of banknotes into the donation box, which was at least tens of thousands of yuan!
After giving the incense money, he asked a little monk to take it to see Abbot Huiyuan.
Huiyuan is reading some scriptures in his office to pass the time!
At this time, a little monk came in and said to him: "Abbot, there is a big boss outside who wants to see you! He just put tens of thousands of yuan in the donation box!"
There is an irregular rule in this temple, anyone who wants to see the abbot and talk about Zen and Taoism with Master Huiyuan must donate more than 10,000 yuan to the temple!
Because there are many people who come to the temple every day to donate, of course, most people donate very little, that is, a few dollars a dollar. At most, dozens or hundreds. Those who can donate tens of thousands of yuan at a time, or hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of yuan, are definitely very few people, and they can't meet three or two times within a year.
Therefore, it is impossible for the temple to let you still have a dollar, and let you talk with the abbot for a long time. If that's the case, then don't you tire the abbot out!
That's why such an unwritten rule was made, the purpose of which was to reduce the work pressure of the abbot!
Of course, in other words, if you want to meet the abbot, then you have to be rich. Ordinary people won't let you see the abbot casually.
Chen Tian is not an ordinary person, he is a big boss worth more than one billion yuan! He came to donate money, of course, it will not be a small amount.
Of course, he also knows that all monasteries have such unwritten rules, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule!
As a big boss who has seen the market, Chen Tian is also very clear about this rule in the temple.
Therefore, if he wants to visit his teacher, it will not be possible to spend some money. At least, that's a courtesy.
When Huiyuan heard the words of the little monk, he said to him, "Please come in!"
"Yes!" the little monk bowed to his abbot, and then went out.
"Donor, please come in!" the little monk made a gesture of invitation to Chen Tian very politely.
"Thank you, little master!" Chen Tian hugged the little monk. Then he stepped into the abbot's office.
Master Huiyuan, I didn't know that Chen Tian came to visit him!
When Chen Tian stood in front of him, he looked at Chen Tian with some surprise. I felt that the person in front of me seemed to have some impressions, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
"Teacher Huang, don't you know me! I'm Chen Tian! I'm your student!"
Chen Tian also looked at Master Huiyuan blankly for a while, and then introduced himself with a smile.
"Chen Tian, oh, I remember, when I was the principal, there was a student named Chen Tian! Could it be you!"
Master Huiyuan tried hard to recall the situation when he was the principal, and then he remembered that in a class he had taught before, there seemed to be a boy named Chen Tian, who looked exactly like the middle-aged man in front of him!
"Yes, Mr. Huang, I graduated from Tiannan Academy!" Chen Tian looked at his teacher, who was much older than more than ten years ago, and his face had more wrinkles.
He looked at the old man in front of him, as if he had seen his old father, and he couldn't help but be a little moved!
"Chen Tian, come and sit down, it seems that you are doing a good job! Are you the boss? What kind of company are you opening?"
Huiyuan saw that Chen Tian was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he looked like a decent person. I wondered if he had become a big boss and was a rich man.
"Mr. Huang, I-I'm a big boss! "Chen Tian also likes to joke. He knows that this is a conversation technique that brings people closer together.
Therefore, when Master Huiyuan asked him this, he walked to the sofa next to Master Huiyuan and made a joke with Master Huiyuan.
"Yo! Looks like you're a big collector. "Master Huiyuan is of course a smart person, as soon as he heard Chen Tian's words, he understood what he was doing.
"In front of Principal Huang, how dare I call myself a collector! You are a famous collector in Tiannan City!"
Chen Tian also knew that when Huang Dongming was the principal, he was also a collector!
It's just that after he became a monk, he no longer collects calligraphy and paintings. Eat fasting and chant sutras wholeheartedly!
"Chen Tian, what are you talking about? That's all in the past. Why are you still mentioning this? I haven't heard of you for so many years! You don't work in Tiannan City, do you?" Although Master Huiyuan has become a monk, he also knows a little about the collecting world. Of course, it's mainly a matter of the Tiannan City collection community. As for the affairs of the collection world in the capital, he did not know much. I didn't know that one of my students, named Chen Tian, was already a famous collector in Beijing!
"Yes! After graduating as a student, he has been wandering around the capital! After so many years, he has finally made a name for himself! He has finally gained a firm foothold in the capital! Naturally, he has followed the path of a teacher! People like me have no talent for painting, so they can only collect some paintings, and when they have nothing to do, they can appreciate and appreciate them!"
Chen Tian naturally would not brag about his achievements in the Beijing collecting world in front of his teacher. It's just that he is a little famous in the capital. (To be continued.) )
