Chapter 223: Donate Paintings
"Wow!"
The onlookers applauded, and everyone praised it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Shide shook his head and said: "It's fast and good! It's a must! I think few people can do it with such a big picture so quickly." ”
Tian Qingping said: "Principal, the most rare thing about Zheng Zhefan's painting is that it uses the freehand brushwork of Chinese painting, but the painting method is so delicate and expressive, look at the expression of this character, and then look at the simple and fine state of this cow, I can say that, Zheng Zhefan has developed the art of Chinese painting to a new realm, formed his own unique style and characteristics, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has become a family of his own! This picture of Taiqing bull riding can be called a classic among the classics!
Chen Zijie was also surprised and delighted, he came to find Zheng Zhefan this time, it can be said that Jiashide temporarily decided to invite Zheng Zhefan to participate in this autumn auction, and Jiashide wanted to take advantage of Zheng Zhefan's current strong influence in China.
What he was staring at was also the paper version of Zheng Zhefan's freshly released masterpiece "Taiqing Bull Riding".
Now, Zheng Zhefan has drawn "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" in such a short time, and he can be regarded as having preliminarily completed the task.
"Mr. Zheng, can this painting be used as an auction item for you to participate in this Jiashide autumn auction?" asked Chen Zijie with some apprehension.
"Of course, I can draw it now, and that's exactly what I mean. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
Chen Zijie was overjoyed when he heard it: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng." ”
"You're welcome, but I decided to donate the auction proceeds of this painting to my alma mater, Yuzhou University, and the auction reserve price or something will be negotiated between them and you. Zheng Zhefan said sharply.
Donating the proceeds from the auction of "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" to Yuzhou University was Zheng Zhefan's sudden decision.
Why don't you donate, or because Principal Yu Shide Yu brought so many leaders of the school to pick up the wind for himself today, this can be regarded as praising himself, and he has to repay it.
Then donate the proceeds from the sale of paintings to the school.
Why donate paintings instead of money directly?
One is because donating paintings is elegant and donating money is vulgar.
If you want to play art now, then donate your paintings.
Second, there is a fixed amount of money to donate, and there are infinite possibilities for donating paintings. What price will the painting "Taiqing Bull Riding" be auctioned at this Jiashide Autumn Auction is uncertain, uncertain things, and often have infinite topicality.
In the end, Zheng Zhefan is still playing.
Yu Shide heard Zheng Zhefan say that he wanted to donate the auction proceeds of the painting "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" to the school, and he was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then thank you so much Zhefan, it's really ashamed, our Yuzhou University has been established for nearly a hundred years, and it can be regarded as an old school, but it is really embarrassing in the area of alumni donations, which is simply not worth mentioning, and so far, the cumulative alumni donations received are only more than 17 million yuan." Your painting may be auctioned for a few million dollars, so your donation is quite a lot. Zhefan, do you think the school is holding a donation ceremony for you now?"
As soon as Tian Qingping on the side heard it, he knew that Principal Yu Shide didn't realize the true value of the painting "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" at all.
He smiled and said, "Principal, do you know? Just now, Manager Chen Zijie of Jiashide Auction House said that the auction reserve price of Zhefan's scaled version of the Taiqing bull riding picture has been set at 15 million yuan. Manager Chen believes that this painting is extremely valuable, and it is likely to be warmly sought after by large domestic collectors, and the possibility of a very high price is very high. If you count Zhefan's donation in the millions, that is a gross underestimate. ”
When Yu Shide heard this, he raised his eyebrows and was very surprised.
"Really?" he asked.
After Mr. Zheng painted the emperor's masterpiece "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" in Taiqing Mountain, it caused a sensation throughout the country, and this painting has been regarded as a classic in the domestic art circles. Chen Zijie hurriedly said.
Yu Shide said: "After all, the paper version of the Taiqing bull riding picture is a copy, and compared with the original, the artistic value will definitely be greatly reduced, right?"
"No, in the case of this painting reproduced by Mr. Zheng himself, its artistic value is no less than that of the original. Chen Zijie said.
"According to past experience, this painting can fetch at least 40 million yuan at auction. Chen Zijie said again.
This sentence made almost everyone present gasp.
Minimum 40 million ......
That's a lot of money.
Yuzhou University is not a rich university, and this money can already help it do many, many things.
The most important point: the school can also get a huge increase in exposure and influence throughout the event.
"Classmate Zhefan, are you sure you want to donate the proceeds from the auction of this "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" to the school?" Yu Shide looked at Zheng Zhefan with a solemn expression.
"Of course, how can I talk nonsense about this?" Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
Yu Shide's eyes rolled, then he clasped Zheng Zhefan's hand and said excitedly: "Zhefan, thank you for your support to your alma mater! What do you want to use this donation for? The school will use it according to your will." ”
"Let's set up a fund, this fund is divided into two parts, 50% for the whole school, every year to select 100 poor families and excellent students to reward their grants; the other 50% for the School of Arts of Yuzhou University, for those outstanding students in the field of vocal music, instrumental music, painting, dance and other arts, 20 are selected every year to give a number of grants, the amount of the grant should not be too high, not too low, just about 5,000 yuan per student. Zheng Zhefan said.
Generally speaking, donations to schools are based on various scholarships.
"Okay, then according to Zhefan's meaning, set up a bursary fund named after you. Yu Shide said.
"If, I mean, if there is a large surplus of my donations in addition to the establishment of the bursary fund, I mean to establish a high-level public art center for the School of Arts, which will set up a painting exhibition hall and a public studio, and build a platform for the students of the School to exhibit their works and create works. Zheng Zhefan said again.
Yu Shide wrote it down very carefully in the notebook he carried with him.
After remembering, Yu Shide said: "Zhefan, the school will hold a donation ceremony for you tomorrow, and we want the whole society to remember your good deeds." ”
"Well, don't use it. Zheng Zhefan wiped his forehead. He's a little embarrassed
"Yes, yes, how many years has our school not received a decent alumni donation, how can you bury it if you are so generous this time?" Yu Shide insisted.
