Chapter 133 132. Why are Jiang Chen’s works valuable? Xiao Qingzi, bring me the guitar!
A group of people were sitting on a big table in the yard, with a smoking barbecue next to it.
Han Qing still started the live broadcast, put the mobile phone holder next to her and ignored it, eating and drinking with everyone.
Dad Zheng and Mom Zheng are very hospitable.
"Jiang Chen, everyone, thank you for coming to our home to see Haozi, and thank you for taking care of him in the Magic City."
Father Zheng picked up the wine glass and drank a large glass of white wine in one gulp.
Jiang Chen, Han Qing, and the others in Pu Yue Xi stood up in a hurry, holding the drinks in their hands and drank them all in one gulp.
Jiang Chen explained: "Uncle, Brother Hao and I didn't know each other well before. We just got acquainted recently. We can't talk about taking care of each other."
Dad Zheng smiled and said: "Then Yes, I know that in big cities, everyone is busy with work and has no time to make friends. So, you can become friends with Haozi even though you are thousands of miles away. Coming all the way to see him, he is definitely a friend worth making. Our Haozi has been hit hard recently and is depressed every day. He feels happier now that you guys are here."
Zheng Zehao said sheepishly: "Dad. , stop talking, Jiang Chen and the others are here to play, not to listen to your stories.”
Dad Zheng: "Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore, eat, eat well, drink well."
The number of viewers in the live broadcast room is also stable at more than 500,000. This time is the peak traffic period, so even if More than 500,000 people were watching the live broadcast of the meal, and the comments and rewards never stopped.
“Brothers from the Northeast are so enthusiastic. There are so many delicious foods, better than what I eat during the Chinese New Year.”
“Hahaha, uncle is right, I have worked in Shanghai for more than ten years Years ago, I really didn’t have any friends! The few friends I got along with were all old classmates from my hometown.”
“Lao Jiang went all the way to Mudanjiang to see her. It’s so good.”< br>
"Haozi was abandoned by his fiancée? That woman must have regretted it now."
"Lao Jiang really doesn't drink. He doesn't drink when he comes to the Northeast. He has principles."
>"To be honest, having a friend like Lao Jiang , it’s really rare.”
“It makes me want to go out with some friends to drink and eat meat.”
“Hahaha, I have already gone out and made an appointment with two old people. Let’s have some food and drink, classmates.”
...
Far away in Jinling.
Liu Hongwei was at his home, eating instant noodles and watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast. He couldn't help but shed some tears in his eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "Lao Jiang is really cool, but it's a pity that I don't have it." Let’s go together.”
……
At the same time, in Chengdu.
Jiang Chen's parents are also watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast at home. The old couple will watch their son's live broadcast when they have time recently. Seeing how popular their son's live broadcast is, singing so beautifully, and writing such excellent poems, they are all honored. Yan.
"When my son comes back, we will prepare a big table of food."
Dad Jiang said with a smile.
A trace of expectation flashed in Jiang Ma's eyes, but she said without giving up: "This kid, I don't know when he will come back. He has been running wild outside. There are delicious food and drinks, and beautiful women. It makes me happy to be with you."
Dad Jiang smiled, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.
Who doesn’t want to take a trip on the go?
He has been planning for his whole life, but he has not yet left the surrounding areas of Chengdu.
Now that he sees his son realizing his dream when he was young, he has a hundred supports in his heart. He doesn’t care about anything else. As long as his son is happy outside and gets what he wants, then That's enough.
Buzzing buzzing...
Jiang Ma's phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it. She hesitated for a moment and didn't answer it.
Dad Jiang took a look and saw the note from Yan's mother. He knew it was a call from Yan Ruyu's mother and said with a smile: "Haha, your biological mother came to you again to contact you."
Since Uncle Jiang Chen After setting up a matchmaking process to get Jiang Chen and Yan Ruyu on a blind date, Yan Ruyu's mother took the initiative to contact Jiang's mother and Jiang's father. Her words were extremely polite, without the slightest aura of a university professor, just like the aunt next door.
Jiang’s mother was also very happy at first. If Jiang Chen’s marriage could be confirmed, the couple would have accomplished the biggest thing in their lives.
She knew Yan Ruyu’s photos and information clearly. She looked like a fairy. Mizuki was studying for a Ph.D. and had the opportunity to stay in school. Her brother was in business and her mother was a professor at Sichuan University. His father is the vice president of Sichuan University, and his grandfather is a retired president. It can be said that he comes from a scholarly family.
If such a person was Jiang Chen in the past, Jiang's mother would never dare to go high. If someone really came for a blind date, she would not dare to let Jiang Chen go see her for fear of being laughed at.
Later, she felt that Jiang Chen and the other person were a good match, but now she feels that Yan Ruyu is the one who surpasses her own son...
Because she heard Uncle Jiang Chen talk about Jiang Chen's achievements and achievements, which can almost be said to be... The first person in the Chinese literary world today and the first person in calligraphy.
With such an achievement, any girl in the country would be able to compete with Jiang Chen.
However, Jiang’s mother did not look down on Yan Ruyu because of the price. She still thought that Yan Ruyu was a good match. She and Yan’s mother had a good chat, both talking about marriage, betrothal gifts and dowry. .
But...
In a blink of an eye.
Jiang Chen, an unfilial son, refused, saying he didn’t want to get married.
This makes Jiang Ma not know how to face people now, so she doesn’t dare to answer people’s calls and feels a little guilty.
Dad Jiang looked at his son with a happy smile on the live broadcast screen and said to his wife: "Take it, no matter what, you have to make it clear to others! Besides, my son just said that he doesn't want to get married for the time being. They may get married in the future, let them talk about friends first."
Jiang's mother thought for a while, answered the phone, and said with a smile: "Good evening, sister."
Because of her guilty conscience, Jiang Ma spoke much more politely.
The voice of Yan Ruyu’s mother came from the phone: “Haha, eldest sister, I just came back from get off work and received a call from my Ruyu, saying that she rejected Shuimu’s invitation to stay in school and planned to return to Chengdu to find a job. .”
< br>Jiang’s mother immediately said: “That’s good, your family is all together, there is no need to separate.”
Yan’s mother: “Yes, our whole family is very precious to this daughter. Before, Shuimu Give her a place in school, we They all urged her to come back. However, this spot was very rare, so we let her choose. Now, she gave up, and we were relieved that she could come to our school and hang out when she graduated next year. Work, or fuck your brother Brother’s company is fine, too.”
Compared with other families, Jiang’s mother knew that her family was much more ordinary. Both of them were ordinary employees, and although they could barely be considered to be on national food, they were not as good as Yan Ruyu. Home is far behind.
If it wasn't for Jiang Chen's sudden enlightenment, Jiang's mother knew that her family and the Yan family would never have any intersection.
But...
People are so enthusiastic now, it would be an understatement to say that it is unfair.
My son doesn’t want to get married.
Jiang Ma only felt a headache and said with a smile: "That would be the best."
Mother Yan took advantage of the situation and asked: "By the way, when will your Jiang Chen return to Rongcheng? Ruyu will be back soon, let's have a meal together then?"
Mother Jiang said with a bitter smile: "This boy He is letting himself go outside, and I don’t know when he will come back. I asked too many questions, but this guy is still not happy.”
Mother Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, young people all have their own ideas."
Mama Jiang: "Yes, they all have their own ideas, let them deal with it themselves."
Jiang’s mother took advantage of the situation and expressed her thoughts. She no longer planned to participate in her son’s life-long events and let them make their own decisions.
Yan's mother also heard it, and then smiled and said: "Of course, they are so old that they can decide anything on their own. Then I won't disturb you. We will chat next time when we have time."
Jiang’s mother: “Okay, let’s talk next time.”
Hung up the phone.
Jiang Ma let out a sigh of relief, feeling as tired as if she had run three thousand meters outside.
Dad Jiang said with a gloating smile: "Now you don't have to worry about no one wanting your son." Ma Jiang sat down and glared at the old man: "You don't care about anything all day long, so let me worry about it. Du San He's ten years old, why are he waiting for marriage? I saw several girls in his live broadcast, and they are all interested in him like fairies. He can choose any one, and I have no objection."
"This piece of shit doesn't want anyone. He wants to be a bachelor for the rest of his life!"
Dad Jiang: "If he wants to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, I will break his dog legs."
……
Similarly in a certain community in Chengdu.
Yan's mother hung up the phone, her face looked a little ugly, she sighed longly, rubbed her brow, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Dad Yan, who was sitting on the sofa not far away and reading the newspaper, said with a smile: "What's wrong? Hit a wall? Your girl can't get married?"
Mother Yan: "That boy He said he didn't want to get married, and told Ruyu that he didn't want to take care of it anymore, so he said he would let the children make their own decisions. I can understand his mother's feelings, but I still feel a little angry. Ruyu in our family can't get married, and she won't get married without him. Like."
Dad Yan: "Isn't it normal for young people nowadays not to get married? Just like Jiang Chen's mother said, let them decide for themselves. If Ruyu wants to come back, then come back. . That kid Jiang Chen is talented and capable, but my daughter is not bad either. If she can succeed, Ruyu can find someone who is well-matched."
Mother Yan: "You go in the afternoon. Where is the old man?”
Dad Yan nodded: "I went, still writing."
Mom Yan: "Still writing Jiang Chen's works?"
Dad Yan: "Well, I have been writing for several days in a row. Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, I watch Jiang Chen’s writing videos and copy them. I went to see him, but he ignored me, as if he was possessed.”
The two of them were silent for a moment.
This is the first time they have seen something that can make the old man so crazy.
but.
Thinking of the works written by Jiang Chen, they could also understand the old man's mood.
The old man has practiced calligraphy all his life and has been stuck on the threshold of calligraphy masters for more than 20 years. Now he sees that Jiang Chen, a calligraphy genius, is making progress every day. Even if he has entered the realm of calligraphy master, he is still making progress and writing There are so many ancient poems at the level of masterpieces, it would be strange if the old man is not fascinated by them.
Mother Yan: "My son asked someone to ask, and he wants to buy an authentic piece of Jiang Chen's work to give to the old man. What do you think the price is now?"
Dad Yan: "How much? Aren’t Jiang Chen’s works not for sale?”
Yan’s mother: “It’s not for sale, and there are no works by him on the market, but there are many people raising bids, and they all call for more than 50 million! For example, for the painting The Knight’s Journey, some people have already shouted for 150 million.”
Yan Dad After hearing the price, their eyes widened in surprise: "Is this much money enough to buy national treasure-level calligraphy and painting? Then can Xia Ke Xing pay the same price as national treasure-level calligraphy and painting?"
Mother Yan smiled bitterly: "yes, That's what I said. However, my son said that with so much money, I can buy national treasure calligraphy and painting, but I can't buy Xia Ke Xing, I can't buy Lang Tao Sha Ling, I can't buy Wang Yue, I can't buy Jiang Chen now. Authentic works are truly valuable but not marketable. The more this happens, the more wealthy collectors will like and pursue them, and the price will naturally become higher and higher.”
Dad Yan was speechless after hearing this. Understand the brain circuits of those rich people.
The more expensive the more you like it? The higher the price, the more you want?
"Then, my son asked someone to ask the Wang family in the capital. He wanted to borrow two Jiang Chen's works and show them to the old man for two days. They refused directly without any discussion. Then he asked the Qin family in the magical capital, but he was still rejected. . The whole market, outside I can’t see Jiang Chen’s works at all, and I won’t discuss them at all.”
“It’s hard to see Jiang Chen’s works now, let alone buy them. You can only watch them through videos on the Internet.”< br>
Dad Yan still couldn’t believe it.
Jiang Chen is just a thirty-year-old new calligrapher and poetry writer.
Even if Jiang Chen’s calligraphy is really awesome, and the ancient poems are also really awesome, he also likes it very much...
That picture of a knight's journey made his blood boil.
But.
After all, Jiang Chen is just a contemporary, thirty-year-old calligrapher and poetry writer who is still alive.
Why are his works so valuable?
And it’s so valuable now.
Then after Jiang Chen passes away, in a few hundred years, the prices of these works will skyrocket?
But...
Dad Yan thought about it carefully.
It seems that the only authentic work by a great writer of the Song Dynasty in the National Museum, someone outside shouted that the price is one billion. If it can be sold, it can be doubled, but the museum is It's impossible to sell it.
Such top-notch national treasure-level calligraphy and paintings were actually not cheap in the Song Dynasty. They were also sky-high.
This is the difference between previous top artists and writers at home and abroad.
The works of some of the top writers and artists in European and American history were worthless when they were alive. No one picked them up when they were thrown on the road. After their death, they were hyped up by businessmen and gradually became the treasures of a generation. His works have gone from being worthless at the beginning to being worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, such a thing has never happened in Chinese history. The national treasure-level calligraphy and painting that are now valuable were still very valuable when they were first written in ancient times, because their authors were the leading literary and calligraphy circles at that time. The top exists, and its works will be sought after as long as they are circulated. The price is very high, and there is no chance of being buried.
Because, compared to the abstraction of some European and American art works, and whether the work is awesome or not depends entirely on the bragging of peers, experts and businessmen. The artistic level of artists in Chinese history and the quality of their works can all be determined intuitively.
Good calligraphy and painting is good calligraphy and painting, bad calligraphy and painting is worthless!
There is no such thing as a worthless calligraphy and painting by an unknown literati, or a valuable example that is hyped by others.
So.
It can be roughly understood that Jiang Chen’s works are so valuable now.
Because.
Jiang Chen’s calligraphy level is as high as can be seen with the naked eye. It is unique in contemporary times and is still improving. Now it is not inferior to the famous calligraphy masters hundreds of years ago, and is only better than those in history. Several top calligraphy masters are a little behind. If they continue to improve like this, in a few days they may be on par with the top calligraphy masters in history, and only one step behind the Calligraphy Saint King Youjun.
If Jiang Chen's calligraphy can continue to improve, he will even be able to rival the Calligraphy Saint King Youjun in the future!
At the same time, the level of Jiang Chen's poetry works is not inferior to that of many top writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and even slightly exceeds it. Every poem and work is amazing. Now some people say that Jiang Chen Chen's literary talent surpassed several top writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Such a work seems to be expensive, as it should be.
Furthermore, it can be inferred from this that Jiang Chen’s works will be more valuable in the future.
Dad Yan wanted to understand this, and also understood why those wealthy collectors kept raising prices to pursue Jiang Chen's works.
Thinking about it this way...
He found that his daughter seemed to be really ordinary. Compared with Jiang Chen, she had nothing to offer.
After all, Jiang Chen often compares himself with the great calligraphy masters of ancient times...
Who can stand this?
Mother Yan said to herself at this time: "If Ruyu from our family can marry Jiang Chen, it will definitely be her blessing. People like Jiang Chen will definitely leave their names in history in the future, and their names will be It appears in textbooks many times. It’s a pity. I don’t know if our Ruyu family is so lucky..."
Father Yan was silent this time, unable to refute.
Because, he knows that the school also attaches great importance to Jiang Chen. Once Jiang Chen returns to Chengdu, the school leaders will definitely personally come forward to invite Jiang Chen to come back to school to give a speech or give an exchange class.
When the time comes, maybe he will come forward in person.
After all, Beijing University and Shuimu, two of the top universities in the country, have shown enough sincerity to Jiang Chen.
As Jiang Chen’s alma mater, Sichuan University must of course show greater sincerity.
……
At this time.
Jiang Chen was still eating barbecue in the middle of the yard of Zheng Zehao’s house.
Zheng Zehao's parents have gone back to their room, leaving this place to the young people to have fun.
Chen Xiaojia BBQ stall opens again.
Jiang Chen was so excited that he shouted to Han Qing: "Xiao Qingzi, go get the guitar."
The more than 500,000 viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited, and the number has been more than 50. The number of people suddenly began to rise.
