238 As the sun rises
The headline of the British newspaper The Times read: Young masters of the East set a new world record.
The headline of the New York Times is: $33 million - a new record for a single work by a living artist!
Although the headlines of these two newspapers are different, the content of the reports is actually similar, and they both grasp the age of Lan Tianyu and the transaction price of "Pine Eagle Map", and make a big fuss. Of course, there is no lack of praise for the artistry of "Pine Eagle Picture", and it is full of amazement and praise.
In addition, France's "Le Monde", Germany's "Bild", Japan's "Asahi Shimbun", and Switzerland's "Neue Zรผrcher Zeitung" also have relevant reports. It's just that newspapers other than Chinese and English, Lan Tianyu can't understand the content inside. Fortunately, Brown is proficient in many Chinese and works carefully, and has given accurate translations of relevant reports in French and German.
After the staggering price of $33 million for "Pine Eagle", the name of Blue Sky and Rain finally became truly famous all over the world!
Previously, although the world's major media reported on Lan Tianyu and his three works, and gave high praise, these reports only praised the artistry of Tianyu's works, and there has been a lack of a clear standard.
But by the end of the auction, the "Pine Eagle", which had won numerous accolades, finally had a clear price. With this price, the artistic status of Lantian Rain in the world can be truly implemented and have a clear positioning.
"Pine Eagle" is not Lan Tianyu's best work, but even so, Lan Tianyu still set a world record for a single work by a living artist, and when "Madonna on the Clouds" starts shooting, this record will definitely be broken by himself. The fact that his works fetch such an astonishing price is enough to establish his international artistic status.
With the reports of many world-class media, the name of the master of oriental art in the blue sky and rain is already in full swing.
Even in the history of art in the world, there are few painters who can enjoy such a high reputation in their twenties, and it is a global unanimous acclaim, and the appearance of blue sky and rain is simply a miracle, and the major media want to dig out his difference from him.
In the morning, Lan Tianyu's phone call was almost blown up. The congratulations of relatives and friends, and the interview requests of major media overwhelmed him.
At half past nine in the morning, the jewelry and jade special session started on time.
Most of the jewels that have been exhibited at the Xiangjiang International Jewelry Fair, as well as most of the jewels that Lan Tianyu has recently obtained from the Republic of China plane and the end of the world, except for the most precious part to be reserved for the evening auction, the rest of the parts will be officially auctioned this afternoon.
The lowest starting price of the jewelry auctioned in the afternoon was more than HK$300,000, and half of the jewellery and jade were all above HK$1 million. There are more than 50 lots with a starting price of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
The finale lot prepared by Blue Sky and Rain for the jewelry and jade sale also has three pieces.
The first finale was a pair of Imperial Green Glass bracelets, which sold for HK$215 million, setting a new auction record for a jadeite bracelet of the same quality in recent years.
The second lot was a flawless transparent diamond ring, which sold for HK$320 million.
The third lot was a set of fine cornflower sapphire jewellery, including necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets and brooches, which sold for HK$435 million, the highest price ever paid for a gemstone sale.
The Jewellery & Jade sale lasted two and a half hours, and still not a single lot was sold, making it another very successful sale.
After lunch, all the staff of Guyun Auction from top to bottom began to prepare nervously.
At half past two in the afternoon, the much-watched auction of national treasures finally began.
There are only more than 50 lots in this auction, each of which is a rare treasure, most of which can be called a national treasure, and every piece of jewelry can be called a rare treasure.
Although the number of lots is small, they are the real essence and the top priority of the ancient rhyme auction.
As the first lot of the opening, it was a bit of a surprise to the guests.
The reason for the surprise is not that the lot is too precious, but that the value of the lot is a little low for this high-profile heavyweight auction.
The first opening lot was Fenjiu Aging.
"The first lot is a bit special, and although the price cannot be compared to the other lots in this sale, it is also extremely rare. If you miss this opportunity today, even if you have money in your hand, it will be difficult to buy it. You may have guessed that the first lot in this auction is the best Fenjiu aged for 120 years, with a total of five jars, each jar of original ten catties, with a starting price of 4 million yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan, and now the auction begins. โ
As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, someone raised a sign and shouted: "Eight million yuan!" โ
As soon as this price came out, the other people who were about to raise their cards suddenly paused.
Even seasoned auctioneers were a little surprised.
The first bid price reached twice the starting price, which is rarely the case. This shows that the bidder who is bidding must be bound to get the aging of these five altars of Fenjiu, otherwise it will definitely not be so imposing.
After a few seconds of silence, the auctioneer shouted, "The gentleman in the front row bids eight million!" โ
"Eight million, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? Eight million for the first time! โ
As soon as the auctioneer wanted to shout for the second time, someone in the middle had already raised a sign again and shouted: "Eight million and one million!" โ
Someone in the back row immediately raised a sign and shouted: "Eight million two million!" โ
"Eight million three million!"
"Eight and a half million!"
"Eight million seven million!"
๏ผ
To the surprise of the auctioneer, the competition for these five jars of aged Fenjiu was fierce.
The first person to raise a sign and shout out 8 million was Feng Zhanhui, who came to participate in the last auction.
Feng Zhanhui spent 1.6 million Chinese dollars to shoot back the jar of century-old Fenjiu, which had already been drunk. Even the hundred-year-old Fenjiu that was bought back by Lan Tianyu in the future only has half a jar left.
Now that he finally has the opportunity to photograph the century-old Fenjiu, and there are five altars at a time, Feng Zhanhui will naturally not miss this rare opportunity. And in doing so, he directly set a very high price for these five jars of Fenjiu, which can be regarded as a cheer for Lan Tianyu.
It's a pity that his abacus didn't start, there are already many people who have drunk Fenjiu for a hundred years, and everyone sitting here has enough financial resources to take pictures of these five jars of Fenjiu.
Since you have enough financial resources and you like to drink it very much, you naturally have to fight for it
