Chapter 206: Snow Mountain
Just when Brother Badou was worried about the five hundred Arhats, good news suddenly came from the art exhibition: the paintings of Henry and Zeng Lao Naughty Boy were sold!
With the exception of the portrait, which is not for sale, Henry's works range from 200,000 to 500,000 euros each; Zeng Lao Naughty Boy's is slightly lower, the main reason is that foreigners' preconceived ideas are playing tricks, and from the bottom of their bones, they think that yellow-skinned people can't paint oil paintings. ā„ top novel, www.who says that foreigners have no prejudice, in some areas, they are more stubborn.
This situation made them finally raise their eyebrows, although these two had already cultivated to the realm of almost being pampered. But as a painter, who wants to be like Vincent when they are alive? Van Gogh was so poor?
Not only that, but foreign media have also praised the works of the two people, saying that after neoclassicism, there is another revival of classicism, and some people have even called it "postclassicism".
It's just that these two people haven't really reached the master level yet, and there are only two or three big cats and kittens, and they haven't been able to form a real painting school, so it's not easy to name them. However, many senior critics of oil painting unanimously agreed that it was only a matter of time, as long as these two pioneers continued on the right path.
The most important thing in doing things is not to find a direction, with a direction, coupled with hard work, success is a matter of time. So these critics are definitely not blindly optimistic.
The reason why such a turn of events occurred is mainly because of Monkey Xiaoshuai. Ever since it was sold at a beloved price, there has been an endless stream of people looking at it, some appreciating it and some dismissing it. Look at it. Naturally, some people began to pay attention to the works of Henry and Zeng Lao Naughty. Of course, there are quite a few connoisseurs here. So one comes and goes. Their works have gradually been recognized by people, and as the research has deepened, the evaluation has become higher and higher.
Not only the Western media, but even the domestic media were alarmed. You must know that the Chinese people have a strong comparison mentality, and I don't know how to hear that there is an old painter who blooms in the wall and is red outside the wall. I went abroad to earn euros, and of course I started to report in a swarm.
You know, the West is the birthplace of oil painting, and since people are willing to pay out of their pockets to buy the work of a little Chinese old man, it must be excellent!
In the end, even Henry is counted as half a Chinese: you are blonde and blue-eyed, but your heart is always Chinese!
The power of the media is endless, in addition to the fact that Henry's study abroad in China was dug up, even the matter of his teaching at Badou School was reported. There are even photos of Henry leading Doudou and a few of their little babies to paint in the forest park. These evidences strongly prove that it is the fertile soil of China that raised Mr. Henry!
Following the Monkey Xiaoshuai incident. The Zeng Lao Naughty Boy and Henry incident has become a major event in the Chinese literary and art circles, attracting almost everyone's attention.
Under this tide, the prices of Zeng Lao Naughty Boy and Henry's works are like riding rockets, and they are soaring. People can't find their current work, so they frantically collect their old work and hype it up. Most Chinese people don't understand oil painting, and they can't tell the difference between the works of these two before and after the transformation, and they only know how to follow the trend and acquire.
As a result, a figure painting by Zeng Lao Naughty a few years ago has been fried for more than 10 million yuan; And the works left by Henry when he was in the Academy of Fine Arts before have all been treasured by those who have a heart.
According to a tabloid, Nian Henry's rented cottage when he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts was bought by a nimble man, and then collected more than a dozen sketches from inside, and also took out several oil paintings from under the bed, and since then he has become rich.
In short, it is one word - fire; Two words ā fire.
But these two are not the hottest, who are the hottest people nowadays, it turns out to be Brother Badou who can't fight with the eight poles of oil painting.
Why? It's definitely not because Brother Badou has a discerning eye for talent and discovered the treasure of Henry; Instead, when those newspapers reported on Henry and Zeng Lao Naughty, they first had to look for articles in foreign media as references. Only then did I know that alas, oh my mother, it turned out that in recent days, there was a yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese who set off a yellow whirlwind in the Paris oil painting world, and a batch of Gauguin's works were scooped out of the flea market, conservatively estimated, worth billions of yuan!
With the development of the economy, people are particularly concerned about this kind of overnight wealth, especially such as this extremely large amount and extremely huge impact. Moreover, as the report continues to deepen, people have gradually discovered the unusual meaning behind this incident: a Chinese has made a fortune in oil painting, and it is also above board, what a great thing to boost the national prestige, don't hurry up and follow the fool!
A few days later, there was heavy news: the lucky man actually used these oil paintings to exchange for incomparably precious ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy, and they are all fine works collected by major museums, and each piece is a national treasure!
You can't buy these things back even if you have the money, because they're usually not for sale in museums. Now I'm getting a lot of them back at once. Looking at the catalogue of national treasures that came back from the transaction, even the old experts in the Palace Museum couldn't sit still, and they all stood up to support this approach.
There is positive energy, and there are also gimmicks to make a fortune and get rich, and it is difficult to think about it. Especially after learning that the "Missing" cooperated by Gauguin and Van Gogh was shipped back to China and was about to be exhibited in the Badou Museum, people went completely crazy, and the name of Badou resounded throughout China.
People can't help but wonder, who is this high eight buckets? So soon, Brother Badou's old bottom was dug up, starting from Brother Weiwu, such as running a nursing home, running a school, building a forest park, building a museum, etc., no matter how big or small, even the matter of his adoption of three disabled children was turned out.
Good guy, full of positive energy, so, a new round of god-making movement began. In the media's pen, Brother Badou is incarnated as a three-good student, a four-good youth, and a five-good family - in short, without the fat man even knowing it, he will be completely finished - should be completely perfect.
Fortunately, Brother Badou was wandering around Paris during this time, otherwise, he would definitely be torn apart by the media. Because now at the gate of the nursing home every day, dozens of reporters are squatting in the pit waiting for his driver.
From the call from the horse monkey, Brother Badou also learned something about it, and the fat man could only smile bitterly about it.
But thinking about it from the opposite side, the fat man is very excited: this is not a bad thing, and he finally has some capital to negotiate with the little steamed bun family. When I return home, I'll try it first!
After making up his mind, Brother Badou became happy, and decided to take advantage of the fact that his visa had not yet expired, and quickly went to the Alps to take a walk and find a nest for the bottle.
Tell everyone about this plan, Michelle has no opinion, and he doesn't keep it too much: if he asks the fat man and Doudou to continue to live here, he is worried that the whole villa will be an adult!
And Henry and Zeng Lao Naughty were reluctant to follow, they found their goal and direction, and wanted to return to Shouyang Mountain Forest Park to continue their retreat and begin to impact a higher realm, so these two people packed up and quietly returned to China.
As for the golden-eyed carving, the old man is now wandering around the world's museums, striving to bring back the calligraphy and paintings he has traded back to China as soon as possible.
So in the end, only the fat man and the two were left who went to the Alps, and the monkey Xiaoshuai was taken away. There was also an assistant and driver sent by Michelle.
Sitting in the car, Doudou held the milk bottle, and the two front paws of the milk bottle held a large milk bottle, and ate two bites from time to time, making the small mouth tick and tick with milk.
After these days of getting along, the bottle and everyone are also familiar with each other. This guy is more honest and never eats alone. After sucking two sips of milk, he gestured the bottle to Monkey Xiaoshuai. Monkey Xiaoshuai is usually also very face-saving, and he also takes two sips with his mouth.
After getting in the car, the fat man sat next to Doudou. After the bottle was full, he stuffed the pacifier into the fat man's mouth, making the fat man very wolf: How old am I and still breastfeeding?
After a drive of more than 10 hours, you can see the majestic Alps, which are the backbone of the European continent and are definitely holy mountains.
In winter, the Alps are covered with snow and are ski resorts; Even in summer, there is year-round snow above the snow line, making it a favorite among mountaineers.
I first went to the brown bear rescue center that Michelle said, but unfortunately, because of financial problems, this rescue center has been closed for more than half a year.
"I really can't do it, find a female bear and ask her to adopt the bottle!" Brother Badou held the milk bottle, sniffed the faint milk fragrance on its body, and looked at its silly little eyes, which was really reluctant.
The assistant shrugged his shoulders, he thought the fat man was talking nonsense, this season, brown bears are hibernating, who dares to disturb their sleep? Besides, after a brown bear gives birth, it may not even be able to feed its own cubs, so how can it be possible to adopt a strange cub?
Doudou touched the small slap of the milk bottle, and he was also full of reluctance. These days, when he goes to bed at night, he has to hold the bottle and treat it as one of his closest companions, and he never leaves.
"Forget it, ask Michelle to contact a zoo to see if she can donate the bottle to our forest park." Brother Badou didn't want to send the bottle to the aid station, but now he just followed his wishes, and it was man-made, and there would definitely be a way.
Since you are here, you can't go home immediately, so Badou Gotti yƬ walked around the Alps on this side of France, and listened to the assistant say that the main peak here is Mont Blanc, which is also the highest peak in the Alps, and it is also a holy place for ski adventure.
Hearing that Brother Badou was going to take a child, a little monkey and a bear cub to climb the snowy mountain, the assistant shook his head again and again: There are countless glacial rifts on Mont Blanc, and avalanches often occur, even if they are professional mountaineers, many of them are buried here forever, and they must not be child's play.
But where would Brother Badou listen to him: "I think back then, our Workers' and Peasants' Red Army carried out a 25,000-mile Long March, crossing the grassland and climbing snow-capped mountains, not to mention that you have a Mont Blanc, even if it is Mount Everest, I can climb it correctly!" ā
The assistant was angry, and he no longer persuaded each other: everyone will say big things, and when the time comes, see who freezes back - (to be continued......) I527
