Chapter 81 Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition
In the end, Wu Mengting went to wash the dishes.
In this regard, Chen Feng could only admire her good temper.
The three of them walked together, taking Chen Feng’s car.
With just a push of the accelerator, we arrived at the East Lake Villa where Chen Feng rented in two or three minutes.
"So close?"
Lin Wan and Wu Mengting both looked shocked.
The distance between the two sides is really too close. After exiting the gate of the community where they live now, they turned left and walked straight for less than a hundred meters.
You don’t even need to drive, it only takes a few minutes to walk.
“Yeah. Very close.”
Chen Feng opened the car door and got out of the car first, and then the two women followed him as if they were just waking up from a dream.
Standing next to the car and looking at the villa, it looks like an antique building and looks very beautiful.
Open the courtyard door, and there is a small courtyard in front, with a green brick pavement in the middle. There are lawns, fitness equipment, many potted plants and flowers on both sides, and there is even a small vegetable plot reserved, but there are no vegetables growing at this time.
"This house is too nice! No, I'm going to start a live broadcast. Brother Feng, do you mind?"
Lin Wan stood at the door of the courtyard and quickly took out her mobile phone to click. Opening the live broadcast software, he looked at Chen Feng with a smile and longing in his eyes.
"It's up to you. However, I don't like being in the camera, so don't film me."
"Okay, OK, no problem."
Lin Wan said happily and immediately started the live broadcast , write the title as #Take everyone to the villa by the East Lake#.
"The broadcast is on! Dear friends, today I came to my friend Brother Feng's house as a guest. This is his villa by the East Lake in Xiuzhou. Let's take a look."
Lin Wan took her cell phone to take a close-up of the small courtyard of the villa, then walked into the courtyard and made introductions.
Not to mention, many people are interested in the villa by East Lake. When they saw the title of her live broadcast room, many passers-by clicked in.
As for those fans who follow Lin Wan, needless to say, after receiving the notification, as long as conditions permit, they will directly open the live broadcast to watch.
Soon there were thousands of people in the live broadcast room.
Chen Feng didn't pay much attention to her, as long as she didn't take pictures of him like last time.
Lin Wan didn't want to be in the camera either, so she waved her hand to tell her not to take pictures of herself and let her wander around by herself.
Lin Wan didn't force it. She took her live broadcast phone and wandered around the villa.
Wu Mengting sat down with Chen Feng in the living room. Chen Feng made her a cup of tea and turned on the TV to avoid any embarrassment.
"How much is the rent here? It should be very expensive, right?"
Wu Mengting looked around for a while and asked.
Chen Feng leaned on the sofa naturally and replied: "It's not very expensive. Thirty thousand a month."
"Thirty thousand?" Wu Mengting was slightly surprised at first, then nodded and said, "For such a big villa and in such a good location, thirty thousand is not very expensive."
"I was attracted to this place in the first place. It's close to the East Lake. When you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk on the East Lake embankment at any time."
"Then you can live in my community over there. It’s also quite close to the East Lake embankment. The monthly rent is only 5,000 yuan.”
Chen Feng shook his head and said, “I’m not used to living in a community anymore, I’m only used to living in villas.”
< br>Wu Mengting rolled her eyes and said: "Since you have money, you might as well buy a villa to live in. Why spend tens of thousands to rent it."
Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "I really have this idea. When I collect enough money, I will buy this place directly."
Wu Mengting couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Didn't you say you didn't have any money before? What's wrong now? "I said this suddenly again"
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "I kept a low profile on purpose before, and I was afraid that some people would follow suit after they knew I was rich. Now, I treat you as a friend, and of course I have to be honest."
"You really made money from stock trading. A lot of money?”
Lin Wan had told her about Chen Feng’s stock trading before.
Chen Feng nodded.
"I think stock trading is not very stable. It is better to invest in industry while you have money now."
"Is there any industry that can make a profit without losing money?"
“Buy a house.”
Chen Feng smiled, nodded and said, “That’s right. When I save enough money, I will buy this villa.”
"This villa costs tens of millions, right? It seems like you are really rich. You lied to me before."
"I didn't deliberately lie to you before, I just didn't tell the truth. ”
Wu Mengting didn’t argue for anything, she just tilted her head and glanced at him, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea slowly.
Chen Feng felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw this, and quickly picked up the teacup.
Lin Wan walked around downstairs first, and then wanted to go upstairs. When she turned into the living room, she saw that the two of them were speechless. They lowered their heads to drink tea. She couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why don't you talk? ?”
Chen Feng reached out to block the phone lens in her hand and said, "Don't take pictures of me. Didn't we agree?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't pay attention at the moment."
Lin Wan smiled sheepishly and quickly turned the camera Moved away, and then asked: "Can I go upstairs and take a photo?"
Chen Feng waved his hand to her impatiently, and she said "thank you" gratefully, then ignored them and just took it He went upstairs with his cell phone buzzing.
"Have you told Sister Sun that you asked us to come to your place?" Wu Mengting asked suddenly.
"Not yet. Tell her later. She shouldn't mind." Chen Feng said confidently.
Sun Xiaorui was originally his keeper, so why should he mind? It's useless even if you mind.
Of course, Chen Feng still has basic respect for Sun Xiaorui, and he must tell her.
Wu Mengting nodded and stopped talking.
Chen Feng felt that he had nothing to say to her for the time being, so he held a teacup and watched TV... commercials.
The same is true for Wu Mengting.
After ten minutes passed, Lin Wan came down from upstairs and said to Chen Feng: "Brother Feng, the water friends in my live broadcast room want to see you. A rich man said that as long as you are in the frame, , just give me a super rocket. How about I give you half?” reject. Is he the one who is short of this thousand yuan?
"Please. Please help me." Lin Wan made a begging gesture.
Chen Feng immediately straightened his face and said, "If you keep doing this, I won't welcome you anymore."
Seeing this, Lin Wan could only look to Wu Mengting for help.
“Don’t look at me. I’ve been a prop for you several times. It’s great that Brother Feng lets you take photos of where he lives for free, but you want him to live broadcast with you, which is a bit too much. "
Seeing Wu Mengting say this, Lin Wan just said I sighed helplessly and said to the live broadcast camera: "You have also heard that they are not cooperative, and I can't do anything about it. Let's let them be in the camera next time I have a chance. They are all pure vegetarians, not like me, they are different."
This... Chen Feng sounded strange.
Because of Chen Feng and Wu Mengting's lack of cooperation, and because they were going to an art museum to view an exhibition, Lin Wan could only temporarily turn off the live broadcast.
As soon as the live broadcast here was closed, Lin Wanshao had to complain about the two of them.
She now treats herself less and less as an outsider, even when facing her rich friend Chen Feng.
Chen Feng also understood her character, which is that she is not very wealthy, fierce and brainless, outspoken, and she can still pretend to be cold, arrogant and aloof when dealing with unfamiliar people.
But as soon as she gets familiar with her, even if it’s just a short time ago, she will show her true nature and she will rub her nose into her face. Therefore, for this kind of woman, you must not beat around the bush with her or be too nice to her. Otherwise, she will really be rude to you and push her too far.
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting now understand her character, so they don't take her complaints seriously at all.
The two of them went out and got into the car together. Seeing this, Lin Wan could only sigh and follow them quickly.
She must also be going to the art museum, the purpose is to start a live broadcast.
Although she doesn’t know much about art, she heard Wu Mengting say that the person holding the art exhibition today is a very powerful calligrapher and painter in China. He is a big name in the world of calligraphy and painting. He is very awesome. Break.
Therefore, she had decided to visit early and also made a preview in the live broadcast room 3.
East Lake Villa is not very far from the art museum, only a ten-minute drive away.
Walking into the art museum, there were not as many people as expected to visit the exhibition of Master Wang Yi’s calligraphy and painting.
There were only fifty or sixty people there. This is because there are no tickets, otherwise there may be fewer people.
"Tiantian, this is the big name in the domestic calligraphy and painting world you mentioned. Why are there so few people here?"
Lin Wan complained directly. She was going to start a live broadcast. She had previewed and warmed up the show in the live broadcast room before, saying how awesome Master Wang Yi was. But when she came over, only so few people came to see his calligraphy and painting exhibition, which was really a slap in the face.
Wu Mengting did not expect that there would be so few people, and said helplessly: "Art is inherently highbrow. Master Wang Yi's reputation in the domestic calligraphy and painting circles is indeed very good, but he himself is not good at packaging and publicity, and he does not disdain Do it. The secular public doesn’t know much about him, so it’s normal that not many people come here.”
Lin Wan and Chen Feng could only accept this explanation.
Chen Feng deliberately took out his mobile phone to search for Master Wang Yi. There were quite a few with the same name. After adding "calligrapher and painter", he successfully searched for it.
There is a character encyclopedia. The introduction is not very detailed, but it does say that he is one of the few remaining masters of calligraphy and painting in the domestic calligraphy and painting circle. Especially his calligraphy has a high status in the domestic calligraphy circle.
Looking at his date of birth, I calculated that he was over ninety years old this year.
Lin Wan reluctantly turned on the live broadcast and took the water friends in the live broadcast room to read calligraphy and paintings, while Chen Feng and Wu Mengting were much more casual.
Look at the works one by one in order.
To be honest, Chen Feng didn’t understand much. Especially the ink paintings, they looked very good, but he couldn't tell why they were so good.
However, what is certain is that some of his calligraphy works look really good, and the iron pen and silver hook are very impressive.
Ten minutes later, both of them stood in front of a piece of work.
This is what Wu Mengting said before, copying Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface", it looks really good.
It looks very comfortable!
What makes Chen Feng feel a little strange is that the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, and he feels dizzy and intoxicated.
This is definitely not because he knows more about calligraphy, but because he has a very intuitive feeling after looking at this calligraphy.
Chen Feng turned his gaze elsewhere, and this intoxicating feeling of comfort suddenly disappeared.
Looking at the words again, that sense of comfort slowly appeared again.
This is quite amazing!
After Chen Feng repeated it several times, he finally determined that this was not a hallucination or delusion.
Then the only explanation is that this calligraphy is poisonous!
"Meng Ting, if I pay for this calligraphy, can I buy it?" Chen Feng asked hesitantly.
"Ah. Do you want to buy this calligraphy?" Wu Mengting opened her mouth slightly.
Chen Feng nodded seriously: "Well, do you think Master Wang Yi will sell it to me?"
"This...I don't know. However, if...the price is high, If so, there should be no reason not to sell it.”
“Well, I’ll ask someone.”
So, Chen Feng walked towards a staff member.
I directly asked if I could buy the calligraphy of "Lanting Preface". The staff thought it was a prank at first. After Chen Feng repeated his assurance, she believed it and helped contact the superior in charge of the calligraphy and painting exhibition. lead.
Then Chen Feng was taken to an office, and Wu Mengting followed.
The leader of the art museum also confirmed it again and again, and clearly told him that if he really wanted to buy the "Lanting Preface" by Master Wang Yi, the price would be at least two million.
Then I asked Chen Feng, at this price, would you still buy it?
Chen Feng said bluntly: "Buy!"
Seeing this, the leader immediately helped contact the people from Master Wang Yi.
The person over there is the person in charge of the specific preparation and planning of this calligraphy and painting exhibition. She is the niece of Master Wang Yi, who is also the niece of his wife.
A woman in her fifties, wearing glasses, with a dignified and elegant face, surnamed Zhai, Ms. Zhai.
Of course Master Wang Yi’s paintings and calligraphy are for sale, and quite a few of his works have been sold in recent years.
As for this copy of "Lanting Preface", it is not the only one by Master Wang Yi. He is over 90 years old. In recent years, he has sold three copies of "Lanting Preface" to the public at the cheapest price. It was two hundred thousand, but it was more than twenty years ago.
The most expensive one was 2.8 million three years ago.
As for this copy, according to Master Wang Yi himself, it is the most proud work of his life. It was painted in one stroke after being drunk on his sixtieth birthday.
So, I keep it and don’t want to sell it to others.
Therefore, Ms. Zhai needs to ask Master Wang Yi first.
After explaining this, Ms. Zhai went out to make a phone call at Chen Feng's request.
Then he came over with his cell phone and said to Chen Feng: "Master Wang Yi is in the capital. I need to see the video of you before I can decide whether to sell it or not."
Although Chen Feng felt a little weird when he saw this. , but still took her cell phone. Master Wang Yi in the cell phone video had sparse white hair, and his face was already covered with age spots and wrinkles.
Chen Feng took the initiative to speak: "Hello, Master, I am very sincere in buying your copy of "Lanting Preface". Do you think you can sell it to me? The price is easy to talk about."
Opposite. Master Wang Yi asked in a somewhat unclear voice: "Why do you want to buy my painting?"
Chen Feng told the truth: "I feel very comfortable looking at your painting, even a little intoxicated."
"Thank you. Then I'll sell it to you. 3 million."
"Ah. , 3 million.”
“Well, if you think it’s expensive, don’t buy it.”
“Of course not.” Chen Feng shook his head quickly, “I’ll buy it!”
In fact, Chen Feng thought it was cheap. After all, as Ms. Zhai just said, a copy sold for 2.8 million three years ago. Now three years have passed, and this is Master Wang Yi’s proud work, which he was reluctant to sell before.
Unless what she said was a lie, looking at the shocked look on her face, it shouldn't be a lie.
"Okay, let Xiao Zhai do it."
After that, the video conversation ended directly. Master Wang Yi was really straightforward.
"Mr. Chen, you are really lucky. I don't know why the master is suddenly willing to sell you this painting. Someone asked for 5 million before, but he refused. It's really... wait a moment I’ll ask him again later.”
Ms. Zhai went out to make a phone call again. A few minutes later, she came back with a look of helplessness.
"Okay. I'll sell this painting to you. I'll sell it to you now, without waiting for the exhibition to end. This is what the master meant."
Several people heard this. I feel a little weird.
