Chapter 225: A Mockery

After the provincial station broadcast the news, public opinion was also in an uproar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Immediately, the provincial Taiwan station sent reporters from all walks of life to the streets, squares, and gates of government agencies, enterprises, and institutions in Yuzhou to conduct interviews.

And the respondents were also divided into two opposing factions.

Those who support the school believe that the work "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" is majestic and magnificent, unique, and the world's highest cliff mural that has caused a sensation in the country, and from these aspects, the price of this painting is not exaggerated at a price of 100 million, and it is completely reasonable.

Supporters also believe that the painter Zheng Zhefan himself has a very high reputation and influence, and is a rare genius in Chinese painting in China.

Those who make a fuss are purely self-defeating, always thinking that national artists who are not recognized by the West are definitely not worth a lot of money, this is a disease, and it must be cured!

And the ranks of opponents are much larger than those of supporters.

There are two main reasons for the opponents:

First: Zheng Zhefan, the author of "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture", has too little qualifications, and his status in the domestic painting world has not been established. In this case, he can still only be regarded as a newcomer with great potential.

And the value of the little newcomer's works is absolutely impossible to compare with the master.

People like Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian and others have been recognized as the Taishan Beidou in the domestic painting world, and their most classic representative works have just broken 100 million.

Newcomers and new works, first breaking 10 million, are already remarkable.

If you want to break 100 million, that's definitely too much.

Second, it is believed that this is a clumsy hype by the university administration of Okju University.

Yes, the vast majority of people think that the school is hype, exaggerated, balloon-blowing, and satellite-dropping, just to attract attention, or that the school leaders want to show their political achievements.

And such indiscriminate hype is despicable.

Therefore, everyone is sharply criticizing the school leaders:

"This school wants to be famous, right?"

"It's just a copied painting, and I heard that it was painted by Zheng Zhefan in less than an hour, so you dare to put a price of 100 million? ”

"If you dare to mark the price of graffiti, then the art market is chaotic. The leaders of Yuzhou University are taking others for fools, right?"

"Yuzhou University is also known as a century-old famous school, with a profound heritage, and this performance is really ugly and disgusting! I know that your alumni donate a pitiful piece, you love vanity, and you want to impact the relevant data, but you can't be too unprincipled, right? If your own students donate a painting casually, you dare to think that it is worth 100 million, which is really too immature. Disappointed!"

Around this matter, there are also many students on Yuzhou University's own campus network and various prestige groups who are enthusiastically discussing.

"This is out of character!"

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at!"

"I feel like the school is just a joke! Maybe it's been too long since an alumni have donated to them, right? I finally met someone who was willing to give a little bit of charity, and this response was really abnormal. ”

"The painting of "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" is really good, but it is really not worth 100 million!"

"The school is purely stupid this time, what is safe, don't you know? It's done, and then it is announced, then it is called stable and generous, now it's good, just take a broken painting, dare to announce that you have received a donation of 100 million, isn't this self-deception?"

"I'm going to get a fake of Master Li Keran's Wanshan Red all over the world, just say it's genuine, and throw it to the school, will the school think that I donated 300 million?"

Li Keran's Wanshan Hongquan was auctioned at a high price of 290 million yuan, and it still holds the record of the highest auction price in China.

Many students believe that Zheng Zhefan's "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" is seriously overestimated by the school.

At this moment, the residence of Zhuang Ziyou.

Zhuang Ziyou was browsing the Internet with Zhao Ligong, the owner of Zhicheng Gallery.

Zhuang Ziyou saw the overwhelming cynicism of Yuzhou University and Zheng Zhefan on the Internet, and he was very happy.

"That's what you call reaping the consequences!" Zhuang Ziyou said with a sneer.

Zhao Ligong shook his head, glanced at Zhuang Ziyou, and said: "It's just some sour ridicule, it's useless! This matter will not do Zheng Zhefan any harm, on the contrary, it will help him to a certain extent!"

"Oh, why?" Zhuang Ziyou looked incredulous.

Through this incident, the value of Zheng Zhefan's works will be seriously scrutinized in the circle, and his popularity in China will reach a new level! The Jiashide autumn auction will begin immediately, and at this time, "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" will become a topical auction item, attracting the attention of the people of the whole country, and when the auction begins, it will inevitably become a focus lot, and my estimate is that even if it cannot be auctioned for 100 million, it will be auctioned at least 40 or 50 million yuan!" Zhao Ligong said in an analysis.

Zhuang Ziyou thought about it carefully, and he found that what Zhao Ligong said was really very reasonable.

He thought to himself, it seems that Zheng Zhefan's donation turmoil was also premeditated, and his eyelids were a little thin.

He was a little anxious and depressed.

He was a little worried that Zheng Zhefan's "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" would really fetch a high price, and in that case, he would probably overwhelm himself.

Now, almost all the domestic art circles are comparing him with Zheng Zhefan, thinking that the two are the best for a while.

If he overwhelms Zheng Zhefan, it will be too faceless.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Ziyou looked at Zhao Ligong eagerly and said, "Teacher Zhao, do you have any good ways to stop this from happening?"

Zhao Ligong shook his head and nodded again.

He opened his mouth and said: "There is no good way, you can only take advantage of it." ”

"How to be opportunistic?" Zhuang Ziyou hurriedly asked again.

Zhao Ligong said: "The oil painting "Crossing" that you got from Jiashide's autumn auction this time can be regarded as a very meaningful masterpiece, so let's make a fuss about the auction reserve price." ”

"What does the teacher mean, let's raise the reserve price of this painting by a large margin?" said Zhuang Ziyou.

"Yes! Yuzhou University said that it would set the auction reserve price of "Taiqing Bull Riding Picture" at 100 million, so let's set the reserve price of "Crossing" at 120 million. Zhao Ligong said.

Zhuang Ziyou nodded, overjoyed, and said, "It's a big deal, let's take this painting ourselves and pay a little handling fee to the auctioneer." ”

"I think so too! It's a waste of money, but in the long run, it's good for your development. Zhao Ligong smiled bitterly, "This is a stupid method, I hope it will help you suppress Zheng Zhefan." ”
