Chapter 551 The Shocking Secret in Calligraphy and Painting
【559】The Shocking Secret in Calligraphy and Painting

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

Feng Daozi nodded, thought for a while, and smiled wryly:
"Yes, but... this Master Ye Jiuxuan is a proud man, and he has just completed this work. I borrowed it for a period of time to exhibit, hoping to open up a new learning path for friends in the painting and calligraphy circles."

After a pause, Feng Daozi said again:
"And this Mr. Ye Jiuxuan is very different from everyone's imagination, a little young..."

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

"Brother Feng, your words are a bit rigid. The way of calligraphy and painting is taught by those who have mastered it. It doesn't matter if you are younger."

Confucius Wen made up his mind to worship Ye Jiuxuan as his teacher.

The bitterness on Feng Daozi's face became more and more intense, and he thought to himself: "You don't have back pain when you stand and talk. If you really see that Mr. Ye is only eighteen or nineteen years old, you won't be shocked."

Confucius couldn't bear it any longer, and urged:
"Quick, quick, quick, who is Ye Jiuxuan? How did I not know that there are such brilliant people today!!"

Feng Daozi said with a smile: "I can't say that he is famous, I just met him once, he is a new friend, he is from Yunzhou, but this friend is really amazing, what he has learned is astonishing, and he is so talented , no less than Cao Zijian, who composes poetry in seven steps."

New acquaintance?friend?From Yunzhou?
Unexpectedly, the master who created such an astonishing work came from such a remote place as Yunzhou, and the people around were also very shocked.

That's right, there are many hermits and masters in this world, idle clouds and wild cranes.

But Yunzhou has the most beautiful scenery in the world, and it is a good place for self-cultivation.

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

"Let's go inside and talk, and hinder others from enjoying the exhibition here."

Confucius understood immediately after hearing this, and hurried inside.

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

He stared straight at the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", with a look of shock on his face, and he said in shock:
"My God, this is not calligraphy and painting, this is clearly a peerless swordsmanship!"

He muttered to himself, and the greedy look in his eyes flourished:

"The person who wrote this calligraphy and painting has reached the pinnacle of sword comprehension. If I can get this work and study it day and night, I will definitely be able to improve my swordsmanship, and even break through the realm of martial immortals. Very likely."

Thinking of this, he looked at the painting with an increasingly greedy expression.

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

He looked at the more and more people gathering around him, as well as the security guards patrolling nearby and the special police outside, and put aside the idea of ​​"robbing" for the time being.

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

"It seems that we can only draw it slowly." He was thoughtful.

-

the next day,
Several well-known domestic newspapers published a report on the front page. For example, the Huaguo Literature Newspaper wrote, "The calligraphy and painting exhibition surprises the new works of today's people. Confucius Wen bluntly said that this is a shocking work!"

The article describes in detail the sensation caused by a picture of "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the painting and calligraphy exhibition, and Confucius' comments in the exhibition, and published a miniature of this painting and calligraphy beside it.

And also published the next inscription:

"Life is like thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, with countless visitors. Some people add color to the mountains and rivers, some make the sun and the moon darken, some change the flow of the river, and some shape their bones. If the end is reached, it should be standing on the top of the mountain, and the rivers and rivers will look back. "

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

Through words and photos, although I can't fully feel the shock of this work.

But it was also quite amazing.

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

In an instant, there was a small whirlwind in the cultural world, and it was regarded as a "magic work" by many petty bourgeoisie youths.

For a while, the name "Ye Jiuxuan" made a small splash.

Then, the Imperial Capital Daily and the Huaguo Art Magazine reported on the sensation caused by this work at length, and several of the newspapers even wrote, "Huaguo calligraphy and painting are expected to be revived, and the contemporary mysterious master Ye Jiuxuan has become a leading figure!"

In the article, the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is used as a quotation, and the "Master Ye Jiuxuan" mentioned by Confucius is regarded as the hope of the painting and calligraphy circles.

The Southern Metropolis Daily commented that "a mysterious master turned out to be born, and a painting and calligraphy shocked the art circle!" In this comment, he focused on evaluating the calligraphy and painting skills shown in these two works, and believed that this painting would definitely lead to innovations in calligraphy and painting. and reform.

However, in Huaguo, the traditional culture has already been in an embarrassing situation of being overrated. Although young people yearn for and respect it, there are too few who really care about it and are willing to learn it down-to-earth.

Therefore, this kind of news only caused a stir in the academic circle and enthusiasts, and most ordinary people just read it for fun and as talk.

However, some modern wealthy people are different.

Especially some super rich and art investors, they are very optimistic about this work, and believe that it will be a national treasure no less than "Simu Wuding" in the future after 80 or [-] years.

What do rich people value most?
That is taste.

These days, what is the most, the most upstarts.

Especially in the past ten years of rapid economic development, countless people went to sea to do business, got rich, and made a fortune.

Of course, what they want most is to be considered elegant by others. No one wants to be called a nouveau riche, 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 elegant art, what is the most tasteful and elegant?

Of course it is calligraphy and painting, which is the case all over the world.

The value of calligraphy and painting is promoted to the sky step by step by these wealthy people. Many of them don't care about the level of their works, but whether their works are recognized by the world.

If people all over the world agree with a work, then there is no doubt that this work is the most valuable.

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

Who is Confucius?
The most authoritative connoisseur of Huaguo calligraphy and painting circles is also well-known in the academic circle. He is also an expert in the study of Huaguo calligraphy and painting in the world.

Moreover, this calligraphy and painting was exhibited by Feng Daozi, a national treasure-level art master.

Coupled with the propaganda of so many newspapers,
The fame of this work has greatly increased, and its value has also been fired instantly.

In the exhibition hall of the Imperial Capital Museum, there are several times more tourists today than yesterday. In this bustling exhibition hall, the three floors in front and the outside of the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" are full of people.
The flash lights up from time to time,

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

Feng Daozi and Kong Ziwen looked at the crowd not far away, shook their heads with emotion, and walked to the studio inside.

When will their niche art in the painting and calligraphy world get the attention of so many people?What a blessing! !
"Mr. Feng, hello!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind, 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 wretched men, who seemed to be from Dongying.

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

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Kong, hello, my name is Shi Youcai, and I am a consultant of Dongying Jiari Company. This is my business card. Please give me your advice!" The young man said politely.

The two took the business card, Feng Daozi asked: "Is that so, what's the matter for you?"

"It's like this, two old gentlemen, our boss, Mr. Akita Noxio, likes Huaguo's paintings and calligraphy 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 collectors below. You can just go to them directly. I can't help you."

"Are you going to buy that work?"

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

Shi Youcai nodded quickly, passed his fingers over the crowd, and said firmly:

"Our boss likes this work very much and hopes to buy it. The price doesn't matter."

Feng Daozi didn't expect someone to pay attention to this painting so soon, and said impatiently:
"Sorry, this work is a masterpiece in the painting and calligraphy world of Huaguo today. No matter how much money you give, it will not be sold."

After speaking, he and Confucius turned around and left.

Seeing that Shi Youcai was in a hurry, he hurried to catch up, and the two Dongying people followed at the same time, blocking the way ahead.
"Two old gentlemen, please don't worry, I know this work is very precious, so the price is negotiable."

Feng Daozi saw several people blocking him, and said angrily, "What? If I don't sell it, are you still going to let me go?"

"No, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

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

"Mr. Feng, I'm also in a dilemma. This is what my boss ordered, but please rest assured that I will definitely make this work worthwhile. What do you think of the price of [-] million US dollars?"

When the surrounding onlookers heard that the calligraphy and painting was bid for [-] million U.S. dollars, many people exclaimed.

My God, this is [-] million US dollars!The vast majority of them have worked hard for ten lifetimes and may not have a hundred million dollars.

Converted into soft sister coins, it is more than 6 million.

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

Ordinary people earn more than 12 yuan a month, 5000 yuan a year, and they have to work for [-] years without eating or drinking to make so much money!
OMG!

The history of Huaguo is only 5000 years!

People can make so much money with just a few strokes.

But then he was relieved.

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

Even ordinary people can easily appreciate the extraordinary between the words in the painting, because the artistic conception contained in it is very strong.

The unprecedented painting skills embodied in the painting are even more precious, and the inscription next to it is also incomparable. If such a work is the work of the ancients that has been passed down for thousands of years, it will undoubtedly be a world treasure.

No less than Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", Dante's "Divine Comedy", Michelangelo's David.

"Hey~ I want to buy this amazing work for [-] million dollars? What a fool's dream, I'll give you [-] billion dollars!!" An old man in his fifties walked out quickly. An old man with sword intent.

Although he speaks Chinese, his accent sounds like a foreigner, and his appearance also looks like that of Japan.

"I am willing to pay one billion US dollars to buy this "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"."

呲——

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

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

"I remember that the most valuable work sold by the auction house was Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe"? That work was only sold for 1.04 million US dollars, which is nearly ten times!!"

"Damn, I admit that this calligraphy and painting is very domineering, but... darling, if I have a billion dollars, I will still buy a fart calligraphy and painting."

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

'How do a group 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, ascend to the top of the master of swordsmanship, and step into the realm of martial arts. '

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

Especially for a martial artist like him who has ascended to the Martial Arts Immortal, it is easy to make money. If he joins any faction, the annual offerings are hundreds of millions of dollars. earned.

For warriors, pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts is what they yearn for.

Rao Feng Daozi and Confucius were indifferent to fame and wealth, and regarded money as dung. When they heard the number "billion US dollars", they were also shocked.

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

I saw that he directly shook his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, these two works were made by a friend, who is both a teacher and a friend.

This friend of mine has no fame or fortune in his heart. If he is interested, he will give it to you without hesitation, no matter whether it is worth a billion dollars or nothing. "

Hearing what Feng Daozi said, Confucius became more yearning for Ye Jiuxuan, and said leisurely: "You can judge people by words, Jiuxuan layman must have this kind of heart!"

In an instant, the face of the old man from Dongying 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 too crazy!

He thought that his boss's bid of [-] million US dollars was enough to save face, but he didn't expect that there would be even stronger players among the strong!

For a calligraphy and painting, someone paid a billion dollars! !
God, these are not works that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, nor are they works of famous artists!
The worst thing was that Feng Daozi refused.

"My God, how can there be such a stupid person in this world."

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