Chapter 193: The Predator of Calligraphy and Painting
Even laymen such as Qiu Lexian can see the artistry of Li Changqing's "Strange Slope of Xuangong Mountain", and then look at Luo Jiana, who is stunned, and Shi Cheng'an, who looks crazy, and the superiority between the three is immediately visible.
The five teachers who teach oil painting also stared at the "Strange Slope of Xuangong Mountain" in a daze, and it was hard to believe that it was actually written by Li Changqing.
Qiu Lexian saw Luo Jiana's dejected look, and immediately understood Luo Jiana's psychology, and felt a little ridiculous in his heart, even Tian Guangwen, deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics and director of the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu University, rushed all the way from Yanjing to Lijiaao, and waited for Li Changqing in Zhong Nanshan for four days without any complaints, and finally left with joy.
"Just now Dean Shi commented on Master Li's paintings, and Dean Luo also said a few words?", Qiu Lexian said to Luo Jiana with compassion.
"Huh? Li ...... Master Li's paintings are completely master-level, and those of us can't reach them!"
Luo Jiana not only failed in his plan, but also felt Qiu Lexian's dissatisfaction, and finally came back to his senses, and said with a face that was more ugly than crying.
"Master Li is really an ancient genius!"
Ding Shaoyuan, dean of the School of Mathematics, thought that he was familiar with Li Changqing, but once again refreshed his understanding of Li Changqing, and said with great emotion.
"Haha, Master Li has master-level attainments in the fields of mathematics, Chinese studies, and art, and our Wen'an Academy has Master Li alone, which is equivalent to having three master-level teachers, and it is a real gold signboard for our Wen'an Academy!"
Qiu Lexian was like a treasure, and his heart blossomed.
Coming to the Crane Pavilion on the side of the strange pine slope, in addition to the teachers of Wen'an College, there are many other tourists and believers who rest here, and when they see several teachers of Wen'an College painting, they also look at it with relish, and when Li Changqing comes out, they are all amazed and shocked.
On the way down the mountain, another group of people came to the Crane Pavilion to rest.
Among the people who came was an old man about sixty years old, dressed in a gray linen men's Tang suit, with a slightly bald forehead, black hair with white hair, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes under the raised eyebrow bones, and a hint of curvature at the corners of his mouth when he was not smiling, giving people a feeling of being both shrewd and easy to get along with.
A middle-aged man with a rectangular face wearing a black suit and a white shirt, a delicate yellow tie, and shiny hair with four strong and muscular men faintly protected the old man in the middle, and a young woman wearing black tight leather pants and a white round-neck T-shirt.
And the old man only glanced at Li Changqing's painting in the crowd, and he was completely immersed in the "Xuangong Mountain Strange Slope Map", and his eyes were reluctant to move half a minute.
"Hello, do you sell this painting?"
The middle-aged man in a black suit himself became interested in Chinese painting, but when he saw that Abba liked Li Changqing's "Xuangong Mountain Strange Slope Map" very politely, he politely stepped forward and asked Shi Chengan.
In his opinion, Shi Cheng'an has long hair and a short beard, which is very artistic, and this painting should be painted by Shi Cheng'an!
"Are you talking to me?", Shi Chengan looked at the middle-aged man who spoke Mandarin with a Lingnan accent strangely.
"Yes, don't worry, money is not a problem, you can open a price at will!"
The middle-aged man in the suit thought that Shi Chengan was worried about money, and said generously.
"I'm sorry, this painting was painted by this Mr. Li Changqing!"
Shi Chengan shook his head with a smile, and pointed at Li Changqing and said.
"Huh?", the middle-aged man in the suit exclaimed with an embarrassed face.
"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, the boss of my family shouldn't judge people by age and appearance! But I really like this painting of yours, otherwise I will offer this price, if your husband is unwilling, you can add more!"
The old man in Tang costume bowed slightly to Li Changqing, and then raised a finger to Li Changqing and said very sincerely.
"One million?", Shi Chengan thought that the price of one of his paintings ranged from 5,000 to 100,000, and Li Changqing's master-level "Xuangong Mountain Strange Slope Map" was sold for 1 million.
"Ten million!", the old man in Tang costume said lightly.
"Ten million for a painting?"
Qiu Lexian, Ding Shaoyuan and others all suspected that their ears had heard wrong, Wen'an City is a fourth-tier city, and 10 million can buy five or six luxury villas in the urban area!
The five oil painting teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts thought that no one would buy a pair of their paintings for hundreds of yuan, but a painting painted casually by Li Changqing was sold for a sky-high price of 10 million.
"Are you Mr. Xu Yingfan Xu?", Shi Chengan was shocked, and felt that the old man in Tang costume was very familiar, and suddenly remembered a giant in the calligraphy and painting world.
"Hehe, exactly!", Xu Yingfan smiled.
"It's actually Mr. Xu in person, no wonder he's so arrogant!"
Shi Chengan didn't have the opportunity to get acquainted with Xu Yingfan, but he had always heard of Xu Yingfan's legend, and he didn't feel strange about Xu Yingfan's 10 million.
Xu Yingfan is known as the "Chai Daguan" in the calligraphy and painting world, and his father Xu Qilin studied under a generation of grandmaster Qi Baishi, and is also a famous painting master in modern times, but although Xu Yingfan was born in a family of calligraphy and painting, he himself is not engaged in the creation of calligraphy and painting, but specializes in calligraphy and painting, and has opened peace painting shops in Yanjing, Xiangjiang, Lingnan, Nanyang and other places!
In the sixties and seventies of the last century, many famous calligraphers and painters had a hard time, and the paintings of the masters were sold for sale.
The price of Qi Baishi's paintings is 4 yuan per square foot, Wu Zuoren's Runge is 5 yuan per square foot, Li Keran is 8 yuan, Liu Bingsen is 6 cents and 8 cents, and Huang Binhong's paintings are 1 yuan a piece.
By the 70s, Li Keran, Wu Zuoren, and Jiang Zhaohe, at that time, the purchase price was only 45 yuan a large amount, and Qi Baishi was only sold for 10 yuan a foot.
At the beginning of 1981, Xu Yingfan returned to the mainland from Xiangjiang and bought more than 9,000 calligraphy and paintings for only 200,000 yuan, including works by Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Li Keran, Wu Zuoren, Jiang Zhaohe and others!
Just last year, Xu Yingfan spent a dollar to buy Huang Binhong's giant "Huangshan Tangkou" at a high price of 345 million, an increase of more than 300 million times, not to mention the works of Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Li Keran and others!
People in the calligraphy and painting industry once again remembered the collection legend of the predator Xu Yingfan, and at the same time admired Xu Yingfan's ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting!
"What does Mr. Li think?", Xu Yingfan looked at Li Changqing eagerly.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your kindness!" Li Changqing refused with a smile.
