Chapter 1037: Calligraphy Contest (Part II)
Taro Matsumoto still regrets all the things he did against Chen Yi at the beginning, if it wasn't for Chen Yi, they would never be where they are now.
One of Chen Yi's calligraphy, at a private auction, reached 70 million yuan, which was unimaginable to them.
70 million RMB, a work created by a calligrapher in his twenties, this is really a huge miracle.
The private auction may be a little inaccurate, but a week later, after the exhibition, that auction is the focus of the world's attention.
Until the end of this auction, no one can be sure what price Chen Yi's calligraphy can reach, and in the eyes of many collectors, after these two world-famous events, the value of Chen Yi's works will definitely explode.
Compared with the value of Chen Yi's calligraphy, the calligraphy works created by them are a bit reluctant to describe the gap between heaven and earth.
"President Fan, President Yuan, Mr. Chen Yi, welcome to you." Matsumoto Taro said to Chen Yi and the others.
"Haha, President Matsumoto is polite." Fan Lao said with a smile, leading the members of the Huaxia Lingnan Calligraphy Exchange Group, and shaking hands @▼ with Matsumoto Taro and others one by one.
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the calligraphy delegations of the two countries and two places formed a strong contrast, and the Chinese Lingnan calligraphy delegation, every member of the delegation was full of smiles and elated, while the people of the Eastern Capital Calligraphy Alliance of the small island country were completely opposite to them, with some gloom on their faces. He looked sluggish.
Originally, Chen Yi did not participate. None of them will likely be able to get the win. Now with Chen Yi's participation, they really don't have the slightest hope of winning, because Chen Yi's calligraphy level is not on the same level as them at all.
The calligraphy that the small island country is proud of has become a worthless store in the face of Chen Yi's calligraphy, which is the calligraphy of the small island country advocated by some experts.
Now take out a modern calligraphy work of the highest level in a small island country and put it together with Chen Yi's calligraphy. What has attracted attention is definitely Chen Yi's calligraphy, as for this calligraphy work, together with Chen Yi's calligraphy, pure melancholy is a self-inflicted humiliation.
They only hate that Chen Yi was born in China, but not in their small island country, with such a young and very high level person, their small island country calligraphy, in the past hundred years. It is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with Chinese calligraphy.
Among the people who came to welcome him was a man in his thirties. Except for him, the rest are basically some leading figures in the Calligraphy Alliance.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am looking forward to competing with you." The man in his thirties slowly said this sentence when he shook hands with Chen Yi.
Chen Yi smiled slightly, this man is the killer weapon prepared by Matsumoto Taro, and he is indeed slightly stronger than other calligraphers, he is only in his thirties, and he has an intermediate specialty of calligraphy, but compared to him, it is still too far behind.
"I'm looking forward to competing with you too." Chen Yi said softly, there was not the slightest hostility in this man's words, there was just the kind of strong ** that wanted to compete, and his words were naturally not too intense.
If others respect him, he will respect others, but the reverse is the same, if others are hostile to him, he will not be polite at all.
Tong guò identification, this man's name is Miyamoto Chuan, although he thinks he can't compare to him, but he still has a strong competition**, this kind of person has the greatest potential, has incomparable courage, and will not back down when encountering great difficulties.
Chen Yi believes that in time, this man will definitely become one of the pillars of calligraphy in the small island country, but it is impossible to catch up with him.
After shaking hands with the people of the Eastern Capital Calligraphy Alliance of the small island country, Fan Lao and the others came to the back and saw three gray-haired old men, Fan Lao and Yuan Lao smiled on their faces and greeted the three of them.
Chen Yi's gaze lightly looked at the three people, these three people are the judges of this calligraphy competition, although they are all from the small island country, but they are highly respected people in the calligraphy world of the small island country, Fan Lao had told him before, the character of these three people is worth trusting, and there is no need to worry that these three people will be biased towards the side of the small island country.
"Mr. Takahashi, Mr. Sakai, Mr. Suzuki, the three of them haven't seen each other for a long time, and their bodies are still so tough." Fan Lao said with a smile.
The three of them looked at Fan Lao, and then at Chen Yi behind him, with a deep emotion on their faces, "President Fan, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are more glorious, don't you tell us about the young people behind you." ”
"Haha, I'm about to introduce it to you, this is Chen Yi, as for the specific information, I won't introduce it too much." Fan Lao asked Chen Yi to come closer, and introduced to the three of them with a smile.
Now, Chen Yi's fame is very well-known in China, in small island countries, including the world, and many people will know that he is a famous calligrapher.
"I heard of Mr. Chen Yi's name before, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name, and it was a blessing that a character like you appeared in the calligraphy world." The old man standing in the middle said with a smile, Huaxia spoke very fluently.
"Mr. Sakai, I've been looking forward to the three of you for a long time, and it's a great honor to finally meet you today." Chen Yi smiled and said to the three of them, the information of these three people, Fan Lao had already told him before.
In the case of modern calligraphy in the small island country, these three people still adhere to the most traditional Chinese calligraphy, and can be said to be three respectable calligraphers.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, these three people were full of sighs, not arrogant or impatient, a young man with great achievements, but still able to maintain such a peaceful attitude, no wonder he will be welcomed by many people.
The previous calligraphy competitions had some suspense, but this time, there was no suspense, with Chen Yi's calligraphy level, even if there was no age limit, their small island country could compare to Chen Yi's, and for a while, they couldn't find one.
Even the three of them, in the calligraphy world of the small island country, are highly respected people, and there is a big gap between them and Chen Yi's calligraphy level.
After the two sides shook hands one by one, Taro Matsumoto welcomed Chen Yi and the others into the hall and came to the hall of the hall.
This hall has a strong style of small island country, the architectural style of small island country, inherited from China, after modification, although it has some Chinese atmosphere, but the feeling is already different.
On the walls around the hall, all kinds of calligraphy are hung, and on the two tables in the center of the hall, there are also pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which seems to be the battlefield of today's calligraphy competition.
Under the arrangement of the staff of the hall, the eight people who participated in the calligraphy competition sat in the seats not far from the table, and the other people sat in the back, and the three judges sat in the center of the two tables, so they could watch the situation on the two tables without any obstacles.
After that, Taro Matsumoto, as the host, walked to the center of the hall and introduced some of the rules of the calligraphy competition to everyone, which were roughly the same as what Fan Lao said.
The eight people who participated in the calligraphy competition were determined many days in advance, and once they were determined, they could not be changed, and during the competition, they were not allowed to give up, and calligraphy must be written.
The winning side gets all the calligraphy written by the opponent, as well as some lottery jackpots for this competition.
After introducing the rules, Taro Matsumoto gestured to the three judges in the center.
Mr. Sakai, who was sitting in the center, slowly stood up, glanced around, and then shouted loudly: "I announce that the exchange and competition between the Eastern Capital Calligraphy Alliance of the small island country and the Huaxia Lingnan Calligraphy Association has officially begun, and the two sides can send the first contestant to compete, and the winner will become the champion, and the losing side will attack." ”
After the judges sat down, the people of the Eastern Capital Calligraphy Alliance of the small island country looked closely at the position of the Huaxia Calligraphy Association, they did not know which one was the first contestant sent by Huaxia, and the Huaxia side also did not know who the small island country sent.
"Please send the first contestant from both sides at the same time." At this time, a staff member in charge of the competition walked to the center and shouted to each side.
Among the eight contestants from the small island country, one person walked out slowly, and one person from the Huaxia delegation also walked out.
When I saw the first contestant from the Chinese delegation, there were sighs one after another in the position of the small island people, and there was a touch of helplessness on their faces.
The last thing they wanted to see happened, the first contestant sent by the Huaxia delegation was the most outstanding and youngest calligrapher in China, Chen Yi.
If the Huaxia delegation said that other players were sent in front, their small island country might be able to win a few games, but the first one sent Chen Yi out, which undoubtedly shows that the Chinese side wants to suppress the small island country to the end.
It's not that they are pessimistic, but Chen Yi's calligraphy level is too high, so high that they can only look up, everyone sitting here has seen Chen Yi's calligraphy, the artistic conception is really amazing, each of them, without exception, wants to get a piece of Chen Yi's calligraphy.
Seeing Chen Yi slowly walking towards the competition area, the hearts of many small island people also became heavier and heavier with Chen Yi's footsteps. (To be continued......)
