Chapter 137: I Didn't Draw Well
The oil painting "Light" was the most popular auction tonight, and the reporters who had the task of covering it even wanted to buy it.
People always like to conform to the crowd, and no one cares about the broken computer in front, and now the oil paintings are flying.
Whether you understand art or not, whether there is a place to hang at home is secondary, everyone says yes, that must be really good!
The hands holding the cards one after another, the auctioneer's eyes are spent, and he can't see it at all, so he can only rely on the camera record to judge who is bidding first and who is behind.
The bid climbed steadily, jumping from the reserve price of 400,000 to 6.4 million in just ten minutes.
At this price, there are fewer bidders.
"6.6 million, Mr. 1101 bids 6.6 million!"
Ming Lei just raised the card, and he and his wife were very glad that they didn't buy the brooch in the first place, compared to this oil painting, the brooch looks a little cheesy.
The guests at the 21st table also followed the bidding, only Su Xiaodong's family of three was silent, Su Xiaodong's heart was dripping blood, he didn't know the tradition of the Luo family's charity auction, if he knew in advance that Luo Xingchuan's painting was also a lot, he would never buy a brooch.
Thinking of this, he glared at his wife fiercely, blaming her for having to buy a brooch!
It wasn't her decision to buy a brooch alone, he wanted to buy it himself! But Xu Zhizhi dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, in public, they had to pretend to be loving and harmonious as husband and wife.
Su Zimu sat like an invisible person, her face was pale, and there were delicacies in front of her, but she didn't have any appetite.
In just a few minutes, the price of oil paintings has reached 10.2 million, a price that discourages those who follow the trend.
Director Shangguan Jian next to Ye Tang only raised the sign at this time,
"Mr. 0508 bid 10.4 million."
"Mr. 1101 bids 10.6 million."
"Mr. 0508 bids 18.8 million."
No matter how good Luo Xingchuan's painting is, he is only a high school student after all, he has not attended an art academy and has no solid position in the oil painting world. Everyone is looking after his paintings because of his family background, which has the meaning of slapping with Luo Rongcheng.
Ming Lei likes this painting very much, he mixed the rivers and lakes in his early years, the wind and rain came and went, experienced a lot of dark things, he resonated with this painting, he felt that the painting reflected his heart - living in the dark, but his heart has always longed for the light, and in the end he did wash his hands and go ashore.
He insisted on raising the price with Shangguanjian, and the price was about to reach 20 million.
Ming Lei chose to give up, not because he didn't have money, but he suddenly thought that they were good friends with the Duan family, and they were tacit in-laws, and now Duan Hong and Luo Rongcheng were at odds, if he bought back Luo Xingchuan's paintings at a high price, how would Duan Hong look at him? Wouldn't he not be human inside and out?
No matter how much he likes it, he should quit just to be on the safe side.
"Mr. 0508 bid 19.8 million, is there a higher price than 19.8 million? 19.8 million! The auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement, thank you to all the rich people, his commission tonight can pay a down payment on a house in City A!
As far as the auctioneer's eyes could see, no one raised their hands,
He thought, 19.8 million should be the highest price tonight, "19.8 million for the first time"
A slender arm suddenly raised,
The auctioneer's face was surprised, and immediately turned into consternation, and he said in a skeptical tone, "No. 0403, bid 20 million??? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the fourth table,
Hey, isn't No. 0403 Luo Xingchuan himself?!
Luo Xingchuan was sitting on a chair, holding the number plate, ignoring the surprise of his parents and even everyone, raising the sign to bid.
"Young Master Luo, are you bidding for your own paintings?" The auctioneer asked him.
He nodded, "I should be able to do that, right?" ”
"Yes, yes," the eloquent auctioneer didn't know what to say, he had never encountered such a situation in more than ten years. However, if Luo Xingchuan pays for the painting, the money is also charity, but it will lead to the same end.
Everyone couldn't help but think, could it be that Luo Xingchuan felt that his painting was too good and was reluctant to sell it to others?
In all kinds of puzzled eyes and discussions,
Luo Xingchuan walked up to the stage, he borrowed the auctioneer's microphone, the microphone stand was raised, and he had a light smile on his face, "Thank you very much for your love for this painting." I didn't expect the price to be raised so high, I was restless and honestly afraid. In fact, my original intention of painting it was just to cope with today's auction, there was no special inspiration, and there was no unusual meaning, I only started to paint yesterday morning, and I didn't finish the last stroke until I just finished the last stroke, and the paint didn't dry out, and I took it directly to the auction table, everything was in a hurry, I admit that this is a completely commercial work, or a social work, and there is no sincerity. ”
The young man said something shocking without reservation, is this belittlement of himself and exposing his own shortcomings?
Ye Tang only now understands why he hasn't been there tonight, it turns out that he was working in a certain room in the hotel to paint!
She looked up at Luo Xingchuan, he faced everyone, and smiled gently, this smile can even be said to be a little silly.
Commercial painting and entertainment paintingNowadays, even some professional painters, painting is not to make money! Why would he put this kind of back-the-back thing on the table and say.
Isn't that stupid?!
The guests suddenly realized, no wonder it was rumored that Luo Xingchuan had become an IQ, no wonder he got the worst score in history in the September exam! Everyone looked at Luo Rongcheng and Gu Yulan's eyes full of sympathy.
Luo Xingchuan faced Shangguan Jian, "Director Shangguan, I'm sorry, that's why I can't let you buy this painting." ”
Shangguan Jian nodded in understanding, and after listening to Luo Xingchuan's words, he was glad that he didn't buy it!! Charity is only one aspect, he doesn't want to throw his 20 million in the water!
Luo Xingchuan continued, "I am self-aware, if my father was not Luo Rongcheng, I think I would have been just an unknown down-and-out painter, and I would not be qualified to participate in such a good auction. ”
There was good-natured laughter, and everyone thought he was joking, deliberately belittling himself.
"After thinking about it, I'll buy my own paintings myself, so as not to lose the customer," he said, looking at the auctioneer, "you can continue to preside over the work." ”
"Okay," the auctioneer hurriedly complied, "Then now the price of "Light" is 20 million, and Young Master Luo bids 20 million, is there anyone higher than him?" ”
In response to his silence, Luo Xingchuan said that when it came to this, a fool would buy it!
"20 million once, 20 million twice"
The hammer was hammered down, "Congratulations to Young Master Luo for winning this work at a price of 20 million, and your auction proceeds will be donated as charity funds"
The auctioneer repeated the lines, at this time Luo Xingchuan was still standing next to the oil painting, and did not end the scene, the handsome young man lined the painting more otherworldly, how could he say it so badly?
