Chapter 329 Atmosphere
Then I couldn't help but look worried. It turned out that the reason why I was happy was not because I picked up the leak, but because I found the money, so my mood was completely different.
So, after all, I am still a... money addict? Ah, I reflected immediately...
But Manager Fei misunderstood Zhou Zhi's expression. When he saw that he was "angry" at first, and then worried, he thought that he spoke too directly and made the big customer's perception worse, so he quickly made up for it: "But as an artist, General manager, I still have the privilege of three points, Yushu, how much are three points for three hundred and eighty thousand?”
“Eleven thousand and eighty” The sales department director is of extremely high quality. , whose mental arithmetic skills are top-notch, and the price immediately exploded.
"Auntie, where's the 460,000 yuan?" Zhou Zhi spoke, obviously intending to take down the two paintings by Jiang Zhaohe.
"Fourteen thousand and eighty, let Lao Fei count you 15,000, 460,000, discount of 15,000, 445,000."
Zhou Zhi looked at Fei again View: "Uncle Fei, what kind of clear money can you buy with four hundred and forty-five thousand?" "Three generations of official kiln utensils?"
"What do you mean? You don't want to buy paintings anymore?"
"I don't understand." Liu Yushu rolled her eyes at her husband: "What do you mean?" Want a giveaway!”
"Hi!" Fei Guan relaxed immediately and waved his hand: "Do you want a painting or porcelain?"
"You can't give porcelain to those before Qianlong, and I don't like the ones after Qianlong... …"
"How about the Dharma books of the Qing Dynasty? Ordinary people may not know him, but he is also recognized as one of the four major calligraphers in the Qing Dynasty. I will not fool you.”
“Which calligrapher?” Liu Yong, do you know? ”
"This one can..." Zhou Zhi's heart began to beat wildly again: "Are there Ji Yun and He Shen?"
"No, they are not good at calligraphy."
"Let's not ask too much for gifts. The four foreign ministers are somewhat famous. How about adding Liu Yong as the fourth minister?"
The current market situation is It is so amazing that although Liu Yong is known as one of the four great calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty, even in the later novel "Emperor Yongzheng" written by Yue Erhe, he is only a very small supporting role. As the most promising son of Yongzheng minister Liu Tongxun, in the book He showed his little face once;
This man did not become a household name until the famous TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" was released.
Now his fame is not as famous as the four foreign ministers.
And even after Liu Luoguo became famous, his calligraphy couplets could not exceed 30,000 until 2007.
Of course ten years later, it will be another story.
In short, now, Liu Luoguo's calligraphy couplets cannot even be sold for one thousand and five dollars, and they are not as expensive as the works of modern painters.
Seeing that Zhou Zhi didn't speak, Fei Guan left quickly and brought a few more sets of scrolls after a while.
"Come on, let's look at the paintings first." Feeling like he met a big customer today, Fei Guan decided to show off his efforts.
The elbow is the hand that leaks money. Most of the money that is transferred around is still in Gongmei's account.
It’s better to be on Gongmei’s account, and he dares to speak harsh words in front of Yushu.
While unfolding the scroll, Fei Guan began to introduce: ""Kiuzhou Nothing and Happy Farming" is a gift. This large painting of 2.5 meters by 1.5 meters was first given to Guo Moruo by Xu Beihong. "
"Guo Moruo attended in 1951. Xu Beihong was so happy to hear the news that he was awarded the "Golden Medal for Strengthening International Peace" at the Third World Peace Conference. He fell ill and drew this magnificent painting for him. Firstly, it was to celebrate his winning of this honor. It is also out of the desire for peace.”
"After this work was completed, Xu Beihong immediately gave it to Guo Moruo. It had been hidden in the Guo Moruo Memorial Hall before, and then flowed into the public. It is a national first-class cultural relic. We received it from a middle school teacher the year before last." Zhou Zhi said I don’t really understand this kind of modern Chinese painting that incorporates Western painting techniques, and some people can’t see what’s so good about it.
Just listen to Fei Guan’s introduction: “Look, there is a cow, a tree, and three old farmers in the painting.”
“The cow and the three The individuals gradually become distant and smaller, adopting the principle of focus perspective in Western paintings, but neglecting the description of the distant scenery, and only using a few loose strokes of light ink to express it. The blurry image of the soil keeps the visual focus on the farming scene. "
"The branches of the thick willow tree on the right side of the picture grow upward in a V shape, but only the willow tree is captured in the picture. part, and use it to divide the picture into three parts, resulting in rich spatial distribution. ”
"At the same time, the willow tree and the human-oxen team are basically vertical. This makes the overall composition simple, but full of changes in stability, and tends to be stable in changes, which expands the spatial expression of the picture."
"These are all Western techniques, right?" Zhou Zhi asked.
“Yes, let’s look at the characters and animals. They are all painted from life. The three farmers are all old, but they still work hard.”
“The former leads the ox to the plow. On the ground, his feet are spread out, his body leans forward, his palms are clenched, and the muscles of his face and hands gather strength. It shows a sense of tightening, vividly depicting the dynamic moment of driving the cattle to plow the field with all their strength."
"The latter two are a peasant woman and a farmer, swinging a hoe and bending down. , the movement range is not large, and the expression is calm, which is in contrast to the former. ”
"In addition, there are some details, such as the tobacco pouches on the farmers' waists, which illustrate the tradition, and the farmers' use of the new double-share plow also illustrates the sense of the times."
"The oxen in the painting are skinny, and they are in harmony with the times. The shapes of Xu Beihong's other cows are very different. In the painting method, he first outlines the appearance with ink pen. The shape is then applied with ocher color, and the brushwork is precise. The shade and dryness of each stroke express the texture of the cow's hair, and the back and convexity of each part of the cow's body are drawn."
"The cow legs are the most special. It looks exactly like the legs of a galloping horse that Xu Beihong is good at, forming a unique shape of an ox body and horse legs. Like Qi Baishi's "Six-bearded and Eight-legged Shrimp", it is also a unique innovation of the artist. "
"The main trunk of the willow tree is written in heavy ink, which not only shows the rough texture and vicissitudes of the tree trunk, but also blends with it. The soft willow sticks written in light ink and fine brushstrokes contrast with the willow leaves rendered in garcinia. Compare. The composition of Chinese painting is very precise. "
"The whole work combines the shapes of Western painting and Chinese painting. It has both accurate and vivid shapes and flexible pen and ink, so it is a perfect combination. A masterpiece of realism that combines the essence of Chinese and Western painting techniques.”
Zhou Zhi turned to his godfather and asked: "Godfather, what do you think?"
"It's not as good as "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping", let alone "Eight Horses"."
Nonsense, those two are A national treasure.
Xu Beihong is an all-rounder. He is exquisite in traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, sketching, figures, landscapes and animals.
Zhou Zhi also agreed with his godfather's statement. This painting of "Nothing and Happy Farming in Kyushu" is indeed not as good as the famous "Eight Horses Picture", but he is even more convinced that even if the "Eight Horses Picture" is now In front of me, I can't afford it even if I lose all my money.
"How?" Manager Fei asked carefully.
"Okay, I'll take it." Zhou Zhi nodded.
"Then these are yours too, gifts." Manager Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Zhou Zhi seemed to be in a low mood, he quickly smiled and said: "You have to think about it this way, after all, it's money from selling stamps, anyway. It's calligraphy and painting, it's better than printed matter, not to mention half of it is left, right?"
"Huh?" Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why Manager Fei said that.
Then he realized that he was afraid that he would get hurt by spending the money!
He...he was actually comforting me!
The atmosphere had reached this point, and Zhou Zhi could only sigh: "My fourth cousin taught me that it is better to buy one fine product than hundreds of common products. I am also following his old man's teachings. I am making money." Unfortunately...well, I'll talk about it later..."
