Chapter 1179 Famous in the painting world
The comet is getting closer day by day.
I don’t know if it is the psychological effect of Xia Chuan’s prophecy, which seems to have an increasing impact on human beings.
At least Xia Chuan's passion proves this.
His life seems to exclude all clutter. He goes to work on time during the day and spends all night painting except coaxing his sister to sleep.
In a full month, I painted ten more oil paintings, all of which were normal sizes, and there were no giant paintings.
Even so, the speed and quality are enough to sweep away all the giants in the painting world.
Famous painters from all walks of life have become regular visitors to the Xia family, but they don't come at night, but during the day. Of course Xia Chuan is not here, so let's take a look at the paintings. The main thing is to observe and learn.
Osmanthus never bothers me.
The fame of Xia Chuan's paintings quickly spread to the entire world.
Finally, on June 1st, a top collector came, Francois Martin, the curator of the Louvre Palace.
When Osmanthus saw this man, she knew that the boss had succeeded.
Xia Chuan just wanted to sell the painting to this man, not because he was so rich, but because Xia Chuan wanted the French to see Lu Wangda and see what the French had done.
François walked into the studio.
When he finally saw the legendary painting, he was stunned.
He simply couldn't imagine that Xia Chuan's first oil painting was such a masterpiece!
It seems far-fetched to attribute it only to Liu Haishu, a master in the painting world. Perhaps Xia Chuan's genius is the key, but what interests him more is how many comets influenced Xia Chuan?
Francois looked at it for a full twenty minutes before turning to other paintings, but they were obviously incomparable to this one.
It’s not that the artistic value is low, but that the collection is not meaningful enough.
It can be said that the value of a painting depends on whether the painter is dead or alive.
Paintings made by living people are called works of art. They can be copied, but they are not valuable because you don’t know how many more they will paint in the future.
Paintings drawn by dead people are called cultural relics and cannot be copied, so they are of high value and everyone is willing to collect them.
But it is obvious that there cannot be a second painting of Lu Wangda.
Already has 'unique' value.
The old man asked politely: "Ms. Osmanthus fragrans, can I ask if this painting is for sale?"
If Guihua hadn't been so shy, he would have been called Miss Guihua.
Osmanthus seemed to say casually: "The boss said it's not completely dry yet. If it's completely dry, it needs to be varnished or something. It's not finished yet."
The old man was a little dumbfounded: "I understand this. The rest has no technical content. It's the same for everyone."
"Oh, that's great. The boss wants more people to see it instead of hiding it at home, but... do you have money?" Guihua asked.
The old man chuckled: "I don't have money myself, but the Louvre has money, and I guarantee that the most people will see it if it is placed in the Louvre. In addition, I understand what Xia Chuan means. He actually wants to put it in the Louvre. , everyone knows what happened to Lu Wangda, Xia Chuan is not here for money, so don’t ask too high a price."
He is truly cunning, and he can tell at a glance that Osmanthus has full power to make the decision.
Osmanthus smiled and said: "If I had painted it, I would have given it to you, but if the boss painted it, it represents his worth, right?"
The old man had no choice but to nod. Osmanthus fragrans hit the key point, which represented Xia Chuan's position in the painting world.
But he put it another way: "I can use an entire exhibition hall just to display this painting, which is enough to represent Xia Chuan's worth."
Osmanthus smiled and said: "I wouldn't sell it to anyone for a billion dollars. Seeing how sincere you are, I will sell it to you for 100 million dollars."
The old man was stunned and said: "Is this price too high? How did you estimate it?"
Osmanthus calmly said: "I don't know how you value it, it has nothing to do with me. I know that the boss can earn a billion dollars in a few minutes, but it took him ten days to paint this painting. Is 100 million dollars still high?"
The old man's heart moved, and he said with a look of disbelief: "Earn a billion dollars in a few minutes?"
"Yes. If you don't believe it, don't believe it." Osmanthus will not take care of Xia Chuan's illness. It will be troublesome, and it will be ruined if he runs away for another twenty days.
The old man really knew about Xia Chuan's bone cancer treatment, but he didn't know how many minutes it was, and he couldn't help but stir up waves in his heart. What method did Xia Chuan use?
This is a miracle.
Perhaps the meaning of this painting is more than just a painting.
Perhaps the value of this painting, with that billion-dollar reference in mind, has been seriously underestimated.
The key is that Xia Chuan is amazing.
Francois finally made up his mind. He couldn't bargain, so he bought it in units of hundreds of millions. It would be easier to appreciate it in the future.
He said decisively: "I agree. Can you make the decision?"
Osmanthus smiled casually and said: "You can make the decision with one billion dollars, but you can't make the decision with one hundred million dollars? The boss doesn't care."
The old man took a deep breath, this little wife is awesome, how many entrepreneurs have never seen a billion dollars in their lives.
The key is that Xia Chuan is too rich, so there is nothing to doubt.
Francois signed a sales contract with Guihua, then transferred the money to the Xiangjiang account, and finally hired a military attaché from the embassy to bring someone over to pack and ship it away.
I got on the plane that day, was escorted by military attachés, and flew back to France.
Not two days later, it was officially exhibited at the Louvre, and it was really the only painting in the hall.
The media have reported on this sky-high price oil painting. Coupled with Xia Chuan's fame, the centenarian Liu Haishu is really attractive.
Liu Haishu heard at home that Xia Chuan had finally become famous in the painting world and set a record for the sky-high price of an oil painting. Especially the person who bought the painting was the Louvre. This represented the most authoritative recognition. The most important thing was that the media mentioned that he was his student. This The old man laughed happily all night long.
Countless Western artists gathered at the Louvre and were shocked.
An orientalist has surpassed the pinnacle of Western oil painting.
A debut work that instantly defeated all the painting giants.
The price of US$100 million is definitely not overestimated.
More people watching the excitement intuitively saw how miserable Lu Wangda was, and looking for the root cause, uh, Mader, it was his own people who did it.
The romantic Frenchman was angry.
One painting set off an outcry.
The momentum spread throughout the West, the media was no longer silent, and international intervention became increasingly intense.
Finally, a week after the painting was exhibited, the Luwangda Massacre came to an end.
Nearly a million people have died.
Even without this painting, the two-month massacre would have ended, but Xia Chuan's painting brought the end to a few days earlier.
As a result, Xia Chuan became a messenger of peace. His good intentions, like the artistic achievements of this painting, will always be remembered in the hearts of the people.
Xia Chuan also faced the reporter who had to be interviewed again. It was still the Associated Press, but it was not Adam.
Secretary Liu meant that now that the matter has calmed down, let Xia Chuan recover from the impact of throwing reporters last time.
In Xia Chuan's study, the reporter was a fifty-year-old man.
Well, I made it older on purpose to avoid being thrown out.
