198 Widespread attention
After Marjorie and Pullman had appraised the first six paintings, it was time to close.
Under Lan Tianyu's kind invitation, the two appraisers and Prince Asoud were not in a hurry to leave, and Lan Tianyu found a halal restaurant with great characteristics to entertain the three of them.
Lan Tianyu and the two appraisers had a very happy conversation and had a lot of common language. Although Marjorie and Pullman will always tear each other down, in front of Lan Tianyu and Prince Asoud, the two are not easy to show too obviously, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious. The two masters of the art world often talked about some interesting anecdotes and some appraisal secrets, and Lan Tianyu and Asud often listened to them with relish and learned a lot from them.
Talking, laughing, drinking slowly, this meal took three hours.
After some talking, the relationship between Lan Tianyu and the two appraisers has changed from unfamiliar to intimate, plus there are many common languages, and getting along with each other is already very casual. Since exchanging gifts with Prince Asoud, the relationship between the two, although they are not close friends because they have been together for a short time, has also had a bit of sympathy, and they feel a little more confidant than ordinary friends.
Before getting into the car, Asud suddenly remembered that there was one more thing that he had not explained, so he stopped and said, "I have carefully selected a few cars for you, which will be delivered tomorrow, and I hope to give you a surprise." If there is a car you don't like, I still have a lot of them, just ask, and I'll change them for you. ”
"I think this surprise must be not small, then I'm welcome." Since it is Prince Asud's heart, the blue sky and rain will no longer shirk.
The next day, after breakfast, Tianyu began to read the newspaper in his hand.
The first thing he focused on was The New York Times.
It's not a front page, but the bold title is still eye-catching: Madonna in the Clouds – the Louvre's next treasure!
The title is exaggerated and shocking. Reading the contents carefully, Alyssa first described her visit to the preview of the ancient rhyme, especially the description of the three works created by Lan Tianyu, which is extremely detailed.
Next, there is her interview with Blue Sky Rain, Marjorie and Pullman. As a wealthy celebrity in the United States, there is also a brief interview with Prince Assoud.
One of the most intriguing parts of these is the fierce competition between the Louvre Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which details the story of an oriental gongbi painting, Madonna on the Clouds.
Although Elisa's description is slightly exaggerated, it is basically in line with the facts.
As one of the most influential newspapers in the United States, the New York Times report was not published on the front page, but it was bound to be sensational because it could bring attention to the preview of the ancient rhyme. It is foreseeable that in the next few days, there will be many major media outlets that will follow.
After a quick glance through the other dozen newspapers, Lan Tianyu was surprised to find that in addition to the New York Times, there were three newspapers that reported three works such as "Our Lady in the Clouds".
Two of them were the local newspapers "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily", and the other turned out to be the British "Times".
The title of The Times is: The Great Artist from the East - Master of Blue Sky and Rain.
Under the title, it focuses on the shock and experience of the reporter himself after visiting the "Desert Travel Map", "Pine Eagle Map" and "Our Lady on the Clouds".
In Lan Tianyu's view, the depth of this report is not as deep as that of the interview with Alyssa of the New York Times, but the content in it focuses more on describing the mystery of oriental art. In this report, the artistic conception of the three works is slightly exaggerated, mixed with some insights on oriental freehand painting and gongbi painting, it seems that the reporter who wrote the main pen also has some understanding of the unique painting art of China.
Lan Tianyu's three paintings, which were exhibited for only one day, attracted the attention of many media, which made Lan Tianyu a little surprised.
With the reports of the New York Times and The Times, the three works of Lan Tianyu will inevitably attract wide attention from other major media.
Blue Sky and Rain can now foresee that from today, the preview hall of Gu Yun will definitely welcome more visitors.
The next development of things is even more popular than the prediction of blue sky and rain.
The New York Times and The Times are both world-class media outlets with a wide range of influence. With the reports of two world-class foreign media, the content of which is a positive report on Oriental art and Oriental artists, naturally attracted great attention from the domestic media and the local media in Hong Kong.
The local media in Xiangjiang, which had not paid attention to this point before, were naturally in an uproar and sent elite backbones to the preview hall of Gu Yun for in-depth interviews. Major domestic media also urgently arranged for personnel to come to Xiangjiang for interviews.
In the morning, Lan Tianyu received seven or eight inquiries.
At noon, even Wan Rongxuan Wan Lao called and asked: "I really didn't expect you to make such a big move in Xiangjiang!" To be able to amaze the chief appraisers of the Louvre and the Met, you must have greatly improved your painting skills. After seeing the relevant reports, I am very relieved, it seems that you have been working hard and have not wasted your talent. I've booked my flight to Xiangjiang and I'll be there before dark, and I can't wait to see your three new paintings. ”
"You're old, but you can't come alone, at least one person must accompany you, who is coming with you this time?" Wan Lao's sudden attack made Lan Tianyu very worried, and what he was most worried about was Wan Lao's physical condition.
"My health is very good, you don't have to worry, besides, I am accompanied by Qingfeng and Dean Liang of the Palace Museum, with the two of them to take care of them, there will be no problems, you can rest assured."
Wan Lao is over eighty years old, although his body is still quite tough, but such a long journey is a great test for the physical condition of the old man, Lan Tianyu is very worried, and persuaded him: "If you want to know if I have made progress, after I go back, I can come to the door at any time to accept your assessment." Let Senior Brother Fan and Dean Liang be the representatives, just come and have a look, you really don't need to come in person. ”
"In addition to taking a look at your new work, I also want to personally appreciate Yue Fei's original handiwork and the Nine Dragons Jade Cup. I've heard that there are many other national treasures in this preview, and I don't want to miss them, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”
Since Wan Lao can't be persuaded to do so, Lan Tianyu can only be fully prepared, fortunately, his current medical skills are extraordinary, if Wan Lao is unwell after arriving, he can still be treated in time
