Donate a painting
Li Lao nodded happily: "Don't worry, as long as you tell them that you donated the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", they can't wait to get it tomorrow, but they have to carry out media publicity and arrange related matters, and it may take two days to wait." ”
An Cheng didn't expect them to arrange media publicity, and thought for a while: "I mean you just let them come and pick up the paintings, at most you can mark in the exhibition hall that I donated it, and the media publicity is not necessary, I don't want to be so troublesome." ”
Li Lao didn't expect An Cheng to be so low-key, and frowned: "In this case, no one will know that you donated paintings in a short time, you know, although the National Art Exhibition Hall is national, it is not so lively, and the people who come and go every day are relatively fixed artists, and there are some group visiting teams." But the exhibition hall is very large, and if it is not advertised, it depends on luck when it will be discovered. Then your contribution will not be known. ”
An Cheng shook his head, saying that he didn't care about those reputations, and asked Li Lao to inform them to come and pick up the paintings at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Li Lao saw that he couldn't make sense, so he had to give up, after all, he was very familiar with An Cheng, and he had long known her character, so he said that he would go over with the people from the exhibition hall to get paintings tomorrow.
Then chatted with Mr. Li for a while, An Cheng sent Mr. Li to the car and went home directly.
In the afternoon of the next day, after receiving a call from Li Lao, An Cheng specially greeted the security guard, so Li Lao drove directly to the door of Anjia Villa with the people from the National Art Exhibition Hall on time, and An Cheng was waiting in the courtyard of the villa. The people who came were the president of the exhibition hall and two staff members, as well as a driver and two bodyguards.
But only Li Lao and the people from the exhibition hall entered the Anjia villa, and the driver and bodyguards were left outside the door by the president.
An Cheng welcomed a few people into the house and sat down, because An Cheng didn't like other people, so An Cheng didn't hire a nanny, only a part-time worker came to clean once a week, and An Cheng made tea for the four of them by himself.
After An Cheng also sat down, Li Laocai introduced: "An Cheng, this is the president of the exhibition hall, Wang Yang." President Wang, this is the donor An Cheng, and he is also a new star in the painting world. ”
President Wang is almost sixty, his temples are already gray, and his face is kind and kind: "I didn't expect Miss An to be so young but so responsible, thank you very much for your selfless donation." Last time, because there was a very urgent matter, I couldn't go to the exhibition to see "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" with my own eyes, but I just looked at the electronic photos on the Internet, which is really a pity. This time you can finally feast your eyes on it. ”
An Cheng smiled politely and said, "False praise!" ”
Wang Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no false praise at all, you are indeed worthy of the title of a rising star in the painting world." I've had the pleasure of seeing your landscapes with my own eyes, and they're really lifelike, profound, and immersive. ”
Seeing this, An Cheng hurriedly said that he didn't dare to take it seriously, for fear that President Wang would continue to speak, so he invited the other party to go to the study to pick up the painting first.
President Wang finally showed an impatient expression, and asked An Cheng if he would mind the staff entering the study, and after seeing An Cheng say he didn't mind, he hurriedly arranged for the staff to prepare tools and go upstairs together: "Ready, let's go see the painting first." ”
When everyone was ready, An Cheng took a few people to the third floor, the third floor area is full of An Cheng's space alone, the left is the bedroom, there is a living room in the middle, and the right is the study, the study is very large, and it is connected by three rooms.
When An Cheng pushed open the door and invited a few people into the house, Li Lao and President Wang looked straight at each other.
Wisps of sunlight shine through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the study, and there is a two-meter-long square table of golden silk nanmu by the window, on which stand all kinds of brushes, lotus jade paperweights, inkstones, and rice paper.
The most striking thing is the walls on both sides, one side is a floor-to-ceiling glass bookcase, densely packed with books and picture scrolls neatly arranged in the bookshelves. On the other wall, in the middle hangs "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and in other places there are some calligraphy and paintings that are obviously in the style of the owner.
Chairman Wang walked straight to the 4.3-meter-long "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and because Li Lao had already admired it, he set his eyes on other calligraphy and paintings.
Li Laoben thought that these were the calligraphy and paintings collected by An Cheng, after all, those fonts were different, but they all had the style of everyone, and they felt that they did not lose their faces, but they couldn't recognize whose fonts they were, and they were about to ask An Cheng which of them were all handwritings, but suddenly found that the bottom of the calligraphy was printed with the special seal of the orange guest. After a closer look, it was found that these calligraphy and paintings were obviously recent achievements, and the handwriting of some calligraphy and paintings was the masterpiece of the past two days.
Li Lao sighed with a full face: "Sure enough, there are talents from the Jiangshan generation!" I always knew that An Cheng was a rare painter, but I didn't expect your calligraphy to be so powerful! These paintings look like your most recent work. If these calligraphy and paintings are exhibited, who dares to say that you are Jiang Lang! ”
An Cheng smiled and said nothing, and Li Lao also knew her character of not caring about everything, so he didn't say anything more.
Here, Chairman Wang caressed the painting lovingly, and at the same time was amazed: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you feel the shock of "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"!" Miss An, I have to ask once, are you really willing to donate to the National Art Exhibition Center for free? You know, this is a witness to the prosperity of my flower country! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless! ”
An Cheng nodded his wish, but Chairman Wang was afraid that An Cheng would regret it and reconfirm. An Cheng, who didn't expect President Wang to be so verbose, thought about it, directly opened the glass door of the bookcase, and motioned a few people to look into the cabinet, which was a cabinet of different sizes, and a scroll of the same size was slowed down in the grid: "These scrolls are all my works over the years." There are also works similar to "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", but it's just not that big, and I really don't lack this thing! ”
Several people looked at each other, and Li Lao was surprised: "These are all your works?" I thought it was your collection! Can I take a look? ”
Seeing An Cheng nodding, Li Lao casually drew a scroll about one meter wide. With the help of the staff, the scroll was opened, and a majestic palace stood in front of me.
An Cheng added to Chairman Wang: "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains is a fusion of my previous paintings, in other words, I still have many partially enlarged versions of "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" here. ”
He found a partial version of "A Map of Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and handed it to President Wang, motioning him to open it and take a look.
Li Lao also leaned over to take a look, this is the cityscape of the coastal city of Huaguo, the two of them compared it with the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" on the wall, and it was indeed a partial picture of the enlarged version.
President Wang said again and again! Good! Good! Seeing the staff carefully take down the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and put it away, he turned around and assured An Cheng that the exhibition hall would take good care of this painting, and personally promised that the exhibition hall owed An Cheng a favor.
An Cheng smiled meaningfully and did not refuse. President Wang and Elder Li glanced at each other, and then took their leave.
