[559] The shocking secret in calligraphy and painting

"Brother Feng, are you sure that this is the work of today's people?" can you introduce me to one or two?" Confucius asked in shock.

Feng Daozi nodded, thought about it, and smiled bitterly:

"Yes, but ...... This Master Ye Jiuxuan is arrogant, and this work has just been completed by him, and I have borrowed it for a period of time to exhibit, hoping to open up a new learning path for friends in the calligraphy and painting world. ”

After a pause, Feng Daozi said again:

"And this Mr. Ye Jiuxuan is very different from what everyone imagined, a little young ......"

Confucius shook his head again and again, and directly interrupted Feng Daozi's words:

"Brother Feng, what you say is a little stubborn, the way of calligraphy and painting, the master is the teacher, even if you are younger, what's the matter. ”

Confucius Wen: This is made up of his mind to worship Ye Jiuxuan as a teacher.

The bitterness on Feng Daozi's face became stronger and stronger, and he secretly said in his heart: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, if you really see that Mr. Ye is only eighteen or nineteen years old, it will be strange if you are not shocked." ”

Confucius couldn't help it anymore and urged:

"Quick, quick, quick, who is Ye Jiuxuan's master?How did I not know that there is such a clever person today!!"

Feng Daozi said with a smile: "I can't say that the famous master, I just have a relationship, he is a new friend, he is from Yunzhou, but this friend is really good, he is shocked by what he has learned, he is only eight buckets high, and Cao Zijian, who is no less than seven steps into a poem." ”

New Acquaintance Friend from Yunzhou?

I didn't expect that the master who created such an amazing work would come from a remote place like Yunzhou, and the people around him were also very shocked.

Also, there are many hermits in this world, idle clouds and wild cranes.

And Yunzhou's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, but it is a good place for self-cultivation.

Feng Daozi was shocked when he saw the looks of the people around him, and hurriedly said to Confucius:

"Let's go inside and talk, here to get in the way of others enjoying the exhibition. ”

Confucius suddenly realized when he heard this, and hurriedly walked inside.

And at this moment, in front of this calligraphy and painting, there stood an old man with a hawkish face, about fifty or sixty years old.

He looked at this "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" with his eyes, and a thick look of horror appeared on his face, and he was shocked:

"Oh my God, where is this calligraphy and painting, this is clearly a peerless swordsmanship!"

He muttered to himself, greed in his eyes:

"The person who wrote this calligraphy and painting, the comprehension of the sword has reached the peak of martial arts, if I can get this work, day and night, I will definitely be able to cultivate in the way of the sword, and even break through the realm of martial immortals, it is also very possible to reach the martial god. ”

Thinking of this, he looked at the expression of this word more and more greedy.

'No, I have to find a way to get this as soon as possible, if other martial arts masters see it, it will be troublesome." ’

He looked at the more and more people gathered around him, as well as the security guards patrolling next to him, and the special police outside, and temporarily put aside the idea of "robbery".

It's not that he's afraid, but that China has a martial arts convention, and such a blatant robbery will become a public enemy of martial arts.

"It seems that it can only be slowly figured out. He was thoughtful.

——

The next day,

Several well-known newspapers in China have published a report on the front page, such as the Chinese Literature Newspaper with the headline "The calligraphy and painting exhibition amazes the new works of today, and Confucius bluntly says that this is a shocking work!"

The article recounts in detail the sensation caused by a painting and calligraphy exhibition "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and Confucius's comments in the exhibition, and publishes a miniature of this painting and calligraphy next to it.

And the inscription next to it was published:

"Life is like thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and countless guests come and go. Some people add color to the mountains and rivers, some people make the sun and the moon dull, some people change the flow of his rivers, some people shape his bones, if the limit comes, it should stand on the top of the mountain, and the rivers look back. ”

At the same time, there are local high-definition details of calligraphy and painting next to it.

Through the text and photographs, I can't fully feel the shock of this work.

But it's also quite amazing.

Moreover, these inscriptions also have a unique charm when read, giving people a feeling of great beauty and majestic momentum.

In an instant, a small whirlwind blew in the cultural circles, and it was regarded as a "masterpiece" by many petty bourgeois youths.

For a while, the name "Ye Jiuxuan" was a little limelight.

Then, the Imperial Capital Daily and Huaguo Art Magazine all reported the sensation caused by this work in large pages, and several of the newspapers even published the title "Chinese calligraphy and painting are expected to be revived, and the contemporary mysterious master Ye Jiuxuan has become a leading figure!"

In the article, "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is used as a reference, and the 'Master Ye Jiuxuan' in Confucius's mouth is regarded as the hope of the calligraphy and painting world.

Southern Metropolis Daily reported that "a mysterious master was born, and a calligraphy and painting shocked the art circle!" In this review, he focuses on the calligraphy and painting skills displayed in these two works, and believes that this painting will definitely lead to innovation and reform of calligraphy and painting.

However, in China, traditional culture has long been in the embarrassing situation of being high and low, although young people yearn for and respect, but there are too few who really care and are willing to learn in a down-to-earth manner.

Therefore, such news only caused a wave in the academic circle and enthusiasts, and most ordinary people just wanted to be lively and used as a talking point.

However, some wealthy people in modern times are different.

In particular, some super-rich people and art investors are very optimistic about this work, and believe that in 180 years, it will be a national treasure that will be no less than "Simu Wuding" in the future.

What do rich people value most now?

That's taste.

In these years, what is the most, the most nouveau riche.

Especially in the past ten years when economic development has taken off rapidly, countless people have gone to the sea to do business, and they have made a fortune.

Of course, what they want most is to be considered by others as elegant people, and no one wants to be called an upstart, and no one wants to be seen as a rough person.

And what is the easiest way to make others look up to you?

Of course, it is to learn some noble art, what is the most tasteful and elegant?

Naturally, it's calligraphy and painting, and this is true all over the world.

The value of calligraphy and painting is held up to the sky step by step by these rich people, and many of them don't care about the level of the work, but care about whether the work is recognized by the world.

If the whole world agrees with a work, then there is no doubt that it is the most valuable.

Ye Jiuxuan's work has been praised by Confucius as a stunning work.

Who is Confucius?

He is the most authoritative connoisseur of Chinese calligraphy and painting, and is also well-known in the academic world, and is also an expert in the study of Chinese calligraphy and painting in the world.

Moreover, this calligraphy and painting was also exhibited by the national treasure art master Feng Daozi.

Coupled with so much newspaper propaganda,

The fame of this work has increased dramatically, and the value has been hyped up in an instant.

In the exhibition hall of the Imperial Capital Museum, today's visitors are several times more than yesterday, in this bustling exhibition hall, the front three layers of the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" are surrounded by people.

The flash comes on from time to time,

All kinds of admiration and exclamation from the crowd came from time to time.

Feng Daozi and Confucius looked at the crowd of onlookers not far away, shook their heads with emotion, and walked towards the studio inside.

When did they get so much attention from such a niche art in the world of calligraphy and painting?

"Hello, Mr. Feng!"

A voice suddenly came from behind them, and the two turned their heads in surprise, only to see a young man in his 20s walking over quickly, followed by two short and obscene men, who looked like Dongying people.

"Hello, what's the matter?" asked Feng Daozi.

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Kong, hello, my name is Shi Youcai, I am the consultant of Dongying Jiari Company, this is my business card, please advise!" The young man said politely.

The two took the business card, and Feng Daozi asked, "So, then what's the matter with you?"

"That's right, two old gentlemen, our boss, Mr. Akita Noo, likes Huaguo calligraphy and painting very much, so please ask me to help him buy a treasure, as long as it is a treasure, money is not a problem. ”

Shi Youcai's tone was very firm.

Feng Daozi frowned and said: "All the works that can be sold here have the contact information of the collector below, you can just go to them directly, I can't help much." ”

"Are you going to buy that?"

Feng Daozi pointed to the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and said suspiciously.

Shi Youcai nodded hurriedly, his fingers crossed over the crowd of onlookers, and said categorically:

"Our boss liked this work very much and wanted to buy it, it didn't matter the price. ”

Feng Daozi didn't expect someone to pay attention to this painting so soon, and said impatiently:

"I'm sorry, this work is the pinnacle of today's Chinese painting and calligraphy world, no matter how much money you give, it will not be sold. ”

After speaking, he and Confucius turned around and left.

Shi Youcai was in a hurry, and hurriedly caught up, and the two Dongying people also followed at the same time, blocking the road ahead.

"Two old gentlemen, please don't worry, I know that this work is very precious, so the price is negotiable. ”

Feng Daozi looked at a few people blocking him, and said angrily: "What? If I don't sell it, you're not going to let me go?"

"No, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Shi Youcai hurriedly asked the two Dongying people to get out of the way, and said sincerely:

"Old man Feng, I'm also very embarrassed, this is what my boss ordered, but please rest assured, I will definitely make this work worth the money, how about you see the price of 100 million US dollars?"

When the onlookers heard the $100 million bid for the calligraphy and painting, many of them exclaimed.

Oh my God, that's 100 million dollars! Most of them don't have 100 million dollars in 10 lifetimes.

Converted into soft sister coins, it is more than 600 million.

Fan Ye didn't have so much money for tax evasion.

Ordinary people have a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, 120,000 yuan a year, and they have to work for 5,000 years, without eating or drinking, to make so much money!

Oh, my God!

The history of China is only 5,000 years!

People can make so much money with a few strokes.

But then I was relieved.

With the evaluation of Confucius, the value has risen sharply, and this work does not require a high degree of artistic accomplishment to appreciate like other calligraphy and paintings.

Even ordinary people can easily appreciate the extraordinaryness between the words in the painting, because the artistic conception of the implication is very strong.

The unprecedented painting skills embodied in the painting are even more precious, and the inscription next to it is also unparalleled, such a work is undoubtedly a world treasure if it is the work of the ancients who have been handed down for thousands of years.

No less than Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Dante's Divine Comedy, Michelangelo's David.

"Huh~100 million US dollars also want to buy this amazing work?What a foolish dream, I will pay a billion US dollars!!" An old man in his fifties walked out quickly, it was the old man who saw the sword intent contained in the calligraphy yesterday.

Although he speaks Chinese, he is also a foreigner when he listens to the accent, and he looks like he is from Dongying.

"I'm willing to pay a billion dollars to buy this "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". ”

Whew——

Everyone at the scene gasped, and their livers trembled, a calligraphy and painting, a billion dollars!

"I'll go, what's going on?"

"I remember the most valuable work ever sold at auction was Picasso's Boy with a Pipe, which sold for $104 million, which is nearly ten times that!!"

"Damn, I admit that this calligraphy and painting is very domineering, but... Obediently, if I have a billion dollars, I can buy a fart calligraphy painting. ”

The old man sneered in his heart when he heard the words of the people around him.

'How can a bunch of mortals know the value of a peerless masterpiece?' The swordsmanship contained in this masterpiece is enough for me to break through the existing limitations, reach the top of the kendo master, and step into the realm of the martial gods. ’

He is a warrior, and for a warrior, money is waste paper.

Especially like him, a martial artist who ascends to the immortal of the martial arts, it is easy to make money, and he joins any force, and there are hundreds of millions of dollars in worship every year, and if he takes on some tasks in the dark world, one billion dollars, but he earns it in one year.

For martial artists, the pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts is what they yearn for.

Rao is Feng Daozi and Confucius are indifferent to fame and fortune, regard money as dung, and are also shocked when they hear the figure of "one billion dollars".

However, soon, Feng Daozi's face returned to normal.

I saw that he shook his head directly and said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, these two works are made by a friend, and they are also teachers and friends."

This friend of mine does not have half a cent of fame and fortune in his chest, if he can look at it, whether it is a billion dollars or worthless, he will not hesitate to give it to you, if he does not look down on it, hundreds of billions of dollars is in vain. ”

Hearing Feng Daozi say this, Confucius became even more yearning for Ye Jiuxuan, and said leisurely: "Looking at people from words, Jiuxuan monks should have this kind of heart!"

In an instant, the old man's face darkened, and he knew that he could not get this work through normal channels.

Shi Youcai looked even more demented,

He couldn't figure it out, the world was crazy!

He thought that his boss's bid of $100 million was enough to save face, but he didn't expect that there would be more strong players among the strong!

A calligraphy and painting, someone actually gave up a billion dollars!!

Oh my God, this is not one of those works that has been handed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years, nor is it the work of some famous artist!

The most cheating thing is that Feng Daozi even refused.

"Oh my God, how can there be such stupid people in this world. ”

He couldn't understand Feng Daozi's behavior, so he could never appreciate the beauty of this calligraphy and painting.
