Chapter 1068: The Living Artist

Zhao Mingyang went out with Wang Qi in a car, and the driver drove them to the largest art museum in Shencheng. Zhao Mingyang wears a black sports cap, a pair of glasses and a mask, and a black tracksuit with a pair of white sneakers, and Wang Qi is in the same suit.

The paparazzi who could follow Wang Qi were all thrown off by Zhao Mingyang, so Zhao Mingyang dared to take Wang Qi out on the street. Zhao Mingyang took Wang Qi to this exhibition hall to participate in an art exhibition, people who came here today can't enter without an invitation, they are all booked in advance, of course, if the relationship is hard enough, there is no appointment.

Wang Qi didn't know what Zhao Mingyang brought her here for, she held Zhao Mingyang's arm and followed him closely, at this moment she felt very happy, after all, the real boyfriend was Zhao Mingyang, and he followed Zhao Mingyang at the age of the beginning of love, and Zhao Mingyang seemed to be omnipotent, so Wang Qi had a strong sense of dependence and worship on Zhao Mingyang.

The exhibition is on the fourth floor of the art museum, a venue covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and there are as many as 1,000 paintings on display today.

Next to each painting, there is an introduction about the author of the painting, the name of the painting, the artistic conception expressed by the painting, etc.

There is also the price tag, the price of the paintings here is ridiculously expensive, basically a painting starts at 100,000 yuan, many of the paintings of well-known painters come to the exhibition, here is like a large painting procurement mall, all the paintings are sold.

Some of the paintings are marked with tens of millions, of course, tens of millions of them will not be sold here, either privately or by auction houses.

Zhao Mingyang asked Wang Qi to see for himself, if there is anything he likes, he must learn to appreciate these paintings, including film festivals, Wang Qi should also go to see more, buy it if he likes, don't care about money.

Looking at the style, the style that the current high-end people like, Zhao Mingyang came here to see the direction of the wind, and the second was to buy paintings.

The aesthetics of many high-end products may not be acceptable to ordinary people, because it is not for ordinary people at all, for example, some designs have added some styles, ordinary people don't care what style they have, if they look good, if they don't look good, they won't look good, and what they don't like is ugly.

Therefore, the design of many luxury goods will make people wonder how this kind of style is, because this kind of style must be popular in the high-end circle during this period.

High-end products are all designed for the preferences of the rich, and the preferences of the rich eventually become the preferences of the public, because other manufacturers will follow the luxury design to learn from it.

To put it bluntly, it is plagiarism. If you know how to dress and match, you can know what style you like and what style you are suitable for, and when someone asks you where to buy this dress, you casually say that I like xx style, so I bought this dress, not this dress is good-looking you only bought.

Most people's outfits are random, follow the crowd, at this time you come to such a sentence, although it is very forced, but others know that you know how to match your own clothing style, will think that you know how to dress.

…… There are a lot of paintings here, but Zhao Mingyang's goal is the works of a newcomer painter, all the works of this painter are very abstract, the price is 100,000 paintings, generally this kind of newcomer painters will produce a series, after all, the output is high.

Zhao Mingyang looked at a wall near the corner, called the staff to point to a wall, and told the staff that he wanted this wall.

The staff was not the slightest surprised, after all, they were not surprised by this situation, a total of twelve paintings, totaling 1.2 million, and Zhao Mingyang bought them all with his card.

Wang Qi walked over to look at these paintings and asked curiously, "Do you like these?" ”

"No, it's not that I like it, but you do, understand? I bought these paintings and gave them to you, you can take photos and share them on social platforms, tell everyone about your recent collection, you like this painter, I have written it for you, and you can just follow the copywriting when the time comes. Not only you, but other artists in our company also want to buy these paintings, simply put, you have to help him publicize, he is a painter I cultivated, understand? It can also give you a bit of an artistic touch. Zhao Mingyang put his arm around Wang Qi's waist and said.

"Understood." Wang Qi looked at the name next to the painting, Takahashi Token? R himself? R Ben's painter?

I've never heard of that name. This painter is the trendy shop owner that Zhao Mingyang met on the street of R a few years ago, a very individual fashion designer, Zhao Mingyang asked him to paint, and he has been publishing works in a few years.

His works are all inclined to abstraction, and he is also a rookie painter, after all, he belongs to the cross-industry, but Zhao Mingyang wants to hype up his paintings.

It is cheap to buy a painting from 100,000 yuan, and then the listed price is 1 million a painting, and after that, it is 10 million.

Zhao Mingyang has already bought foreign media notices to publicize that this painting of Takahashi Token was robbed at a high price, so that his painting would appreciate in value.

This is a profiteering industry, as long as Zhao Mingyang can hype up his paintings, he can do joint names in the future, and more importantly, Zhao Mingyang can hoard his paintings, and then release them one by one, buy 100,000 now, and release 110 million in the future.

This can be passed on to future generations, it is an intangible asset, of course, Zhao Mingyang can also use these paintings to give away, which is equivalent to giving money, but the actual value is only known to Zhao Mingyang.

As long as this thing is recognized by the market, it is the currency in circulation. For example, some wine is so expensive, it is no longer wine, it is the currency in circulation.

Takahashi Dongjian officially debuted, and Zhao Mingyang wants to make him an artist, a living artist, a living artist, and an artist with a market value of billions.

All the works created by Takahashi Dongjian have been accepted by Zhao Mingyang, and he has basically exhausted his talent in the past few years, and it will be difficult to create anything after that.

And Takahashi Dongjian also has a contract with Zhao Mingyang, and he can't get out of this, if he wants to terminate the contract, the fee is also sky-high.

All the copyrights of Takahashi Dongjian are also owned by Zhao Mingyang, and he will not be less than him, Takahashi Dongjian also knows why he is popular and who is behind the scenes, so he will not offend Zhao Mingyang easily.

After all, he is no longer a young man, Takahashi Dongjian knows that Zhao Mingyang can pick him up and step him down, the best way is to listen to Zhao Mingyang's arrangement, Zhao Mingyang does not interfere with him anything, and gives him a very good creative environment and life guarantee, which is enough.

Wang Qi accompanied Zhao Mingyang to look at other paintings, Wang Qi was optimistic about a sunflower painting, worth 300,000 yuan, it was a relatively famous painter's painting, Zhao Mingyang bought it and gave it to Wang Qi.

In a venue like this, Takahashi Higashiken actually couldn't participate in the exhibition, but Zhao Mingyang had the ability to make money and directly let his paintings be exhibited in large-scale art exhibitions around the world, and bought his paintings at a high price as different buyers.

This time it's 100,000 paintings, 1.2 million series, the next exhibition will be 500,000 paintings, and the next time it's 1 million paintings.

"This wall also helped me pack." Zhao Mingyang pointed to a wall and said. Wang Qi wondered, this wall is full of landscape paintings, and the listing price is not cheap, a painting is more than 300,000 yuan, a total of three paintings, is this also the painter that Zhao Mingyang wants to hype?

Zhao Mingyang didn't tell Wang Qi about this, this is a list given to Zhao Mingyang by Cai Qimin, this is a painting by an old gentleman, the old gentleman has always loved painting, and has been painting all his life, but he has never been famous.

And the price of the painting has not been low, and now it is still low, before the price of 500,000 paintings, the old man has always felt that others do not know the goods, do not know how to appreciate his paintings.

Now Zhao Mingyang bought it, not for anything else, just because the old man has a good son-in-law, his son-in-law brought this to the exhibition, and the old man was also on the scene, because the old man's son-in-law has been rising step by step in recent years, so Cai Qimin wanted to get closer to him, so he asked Zhao Mingyang to come over to buy paintings.

"You like this painting?" An old man's voice came from behind Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang turned his head to look, and an old man in his eighties with a cane walked over and asked with the support of a woman.

"I like it, these three paintings are a group, the paintings are mountains and rivers, birds and flowers and the changes of the four seasons, I like this style of painting with clouds and water, and I feel a sense of endless picture, coupled with the sharp contrast of colors, giving people a visual impact, the most important thing, I like the agility of this painting, every place is lifelike. And the core of this painting, it has a meaning, you look at the landscape here, the mountain is a mountain, but the mountain is not a mountain, the reflection of this water surface is another painting, a picture in the picture, if you look at the reflection of the water surface in reverse, you don't look like a city, a city floating on the water, the capital of the sea, the fish and shrimp in the water don't look like the inhabitants of this city. And this forest, every tree is different, every bird on the tree has a different expression, including the stones in this painting are all strange, this painting is really good, I like it very much. Especially the fallen leaves, from a distance, it really looks like a fallen leaf slowly falling, with a sense of layering······" Zhao Mingyang slapped the sycophants wildly, he heard Cai Qimin say, this old man is evil, he didn't sell the painting when he found someone to buy it before, saying that the other party didn't know how to paint, so Cai Qimin secretly sent Zhao Mingyang the authentic work of this painting, and Zhao Mingyang said it after studying and summarizing the shooting method of the sycophant.

Zhao Mingyang's words made the old man very comfortable, in fact, he was really patting his ass, because the painting drawn by this old man was really not very amazing, why didn't the old man who patted the old man before?

Because the people who bought paintings before were too professional, from the color tone, from the style of painting, etc., do you need to shoot?

Zhao Mingyang is direct, what you see is what you get, of course, many professionals can see some things here at a glance, but they all think about it, thinking that the old man will not like to listen to such superficial expressions and praises.

The paintings drawn by this old man are very ordinary, and he pretends to be smart and hides mysteries, and the mountain shadow reflected in the water is problematic at a glance.

But many people think that this is not worth mentioning, and the appearance of the bird on the tree, this painting can not be exactly the same, blowing this is not interesting, and the fallen leaves, at a glance it seems to want to highlight the moment of falling leaves, separate each part of the painting to draw a fallen leaf, and finally land, this kind of painting is really boring, the expression is too intuitive, but let professional people not blow these.

Zhao Mingyang just blows these, this old man is clearly the kind of person who thinks very highly of himself and can't tell how many catties and taels he has, otherwise he dares to sell his paintings directly at a price of 500,000 yuan?

He wants to be famous, he wants to be talented, this painting has been bought a long time ago, the price of 500,000 yuan has been reduced by more than 300,000 yuan, it is estimated that he thinks it is too expensive, and some people can't afford to buy it, and then her son-in-law can bear it again, so he arranged for someone to come over and make the old man happy.

The old man dragged it up, feeling that he could not sell it easily, and that to sell it to someone who knew his paintings was to pretend to be forced, and that having a buyer willing to buy his paintings would give him even more confidence.

People who don't know how to do it really can't shoot this kind of fart, people who know how to shoot like this, only half-hangers like Zhao Mingyang know how to shoot half-farts.

Not everyone has been engaged in a line for a long time, then it must be very powerful, art is the last thing to eat talent, hard work is just to give talent a life, this old man can be considered painting skills at most, but the talent is average, his paintings are only one or two thousand paintings in the market, and some are higher than five thousand, and no one may buy them.

But he doesn't know enough about himself, it's not his fault, it's a common problem of a group of people who are engaged in the art industry, similar to literati, who think they are the best.

Some people wake up early and recognize the upper limit of their talents, while some people recognize it late and always feel that they are talented.

How can there be so many talents in this world, most of them are mediocre and inactive. Especially in the era of high-speed development of the Internet, there is basically no such thing as a talent, open a live broadcast, as long as you have talent, you will be noticed in an instant.

If this kind of art exhibition is often exhibited, it will not be mentioned, but this old man is more stubborn.

The son-in-law wants to make the old man happy, in fact, he wants to help the old man complete a recognition of him by others, prove that his paintings are valuable, complete one of his obsessions, and prove that his life's persistence has not been in vain.

Zhao Mingyang's simple and direct sycophant is exactly what the old man needs, he wants people to say Zhao Mingyang's direct words, but no one says it, because the more professional people are, the more they can't speak, thinking that it doesn't matter.

"You know how to draw, this is my painting." The old man said proudly. Zhao Mingyang took off his mask, hat and sunglasses and said respectfully: "I'm glad to meet you, I didn't expect to see the author himself, old man, I love this painting very much, I don't know if you have other paintings?" I would like to collect a few. The old man raised his head and said with a strong attitude: "No, I only paint these three paintings in my life, I hope you keep them well, this is my absolute force." When Zhao Mingyang heard this, the good guy was forced to pretend, this seemed to be saying that he was at the same level as Qi Baishi and Leonardo da Vinci, he only did one thing in his life, he was higher than those two people, and he only painted these three paintings in his life, which was out of print.

"It's a pity, Mr. only painted these three paintings, but boy, I was lucky to receive an out-of-print painting."

"Hahaha~ You have a relationship with this painting, we will see you in the rivers and lakes!" The old man turned around and left, and the woman helped him to leave, and it is estimated that he will go back to blow a wave with his family and relatives and friends, and men love to pretend to be forced to die.

Zhao Mingyang put on his mask, glasses and hat again, picked up his mobile phone and took a photo and sent it to Cai Qimin, who was telling the old man's son-in-law this information.

As for these three paintings, Zhao Mingyang didn't plan to ask for them, so he donated them to Fuda, and this forced grid came up again, and the old man blew it again, but it is estimated that he has to run Fuda three times a day to see his proud works, and when he meets people, he blows that his paintings are collected by Fuda.

Cai Qimin also thinks so, so that the old man's son-in-law can remember Cai Qimin's favor.

Society, isn't it like this, help each other, the most afraid of the kind of people who don't know how to measure. For example, Hao Ren, he was very big at this moment, and made a phone call to Zhao Mingyang, Zhao Mingyang took out a card and handed it to the staff to pay for it and left, and arranged for a car to come and transport these paintings away and transport them to a villa, where Zhao Mingyang used to collect things.

"Mingyang, are you busy?" Hao Ren said. Zhao Mingyang got into the car and took out a bottle of water from the car refrigerator, Wang Qi unscrewed the bottle cap for him, Zhao Mingyang took the water bottle and drank the water and said, "I'm not busy, you say, what's the matter?" ”
