Chapter 649 Xu Tanhua’s stinky feet
With so many people guarding him, Xu Liang didn’t refuse out of politeness.
“Okay.”
The man smiled happily and quickly thanked him.
The people around saw it and couldn't help but feel envious.
If I had known that Boss Xu was so easy to talk to, I would have paid more to take down the painting and hold Xu Tanhua's smelly feet.
If we have a meal together and can reach a cooperation, Boss Xu can earn back dozens or even hundreds of times the price of a sketch with just a little bit of his fingers.
Oh, why did I hesitate at that time?
Many people sighed inwardly.
“The next auction is today’s finale.”
One sentence attracted everyone's attention.
After a pause, the auctioneer calmed down a little.
The "Hundred-Open Book of Du Fu's Poetry" auctioned this time is the complete version of this. It is unique in its unique style because it completely integrates Lu Yan's landscape paintings in his youth, middle age and old age.
After a pause, Xu Liang continued.
“Really?”
Looking at Xu Liang's eagerness to try, Jiang Xiaoyang asked.
"What you are seeing is "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volumes" by Lu Yanshao, a master of modern Chinese landscape painting.
"This is what Hanhai said, and many experts also agree. The company's calligraphy and painting appraisers also certified it as authentic, so it is authentic. "Xu Liangdao.
40 million after three minutes.
"I didn't expect that Hanhai would explode this year. Yesterday, 46.2 million was taken for a set of "Song of Stone Drums" written in cursive by Xian Yushu, a famous Yuan Dynasty artist. Today I took out this piece of "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volumes" by Lu Yanshao. It's amazing. ”
The lines are sparse and smooth, combining hardness and softness.
According to our investigation, in the summer of 1959, Lu Yanshao planned to compose the fortieth edition of Du Fu's poems to commemorate the 1,250th anniversary of Du Fu's birth.
When she was studying in the United States, she visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art many times and was deeply impressed by the collection of top-notch Chinese art.
In less than a minute, the price exceeded 20 million, and two minutes later it was 30 million.
Both figures and flowers, the calligraphy is also unique.
"Lu Yanshao's "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred-fold Volume" has a starting price of 16 million, with each increase in price not less than 100,000. The auction starts now."
This set of "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred-fold Volume" consists of a total of one hundred It consists of two paintings, each 43.5 x 27.5 cm. It is a landscape painting created by Lu Yanshao with Du Fu's poems as the title of his lifelong efforts.
"There are two copies of "Song of Stone Drums" written by Xian Yushu. One was written in the fifth year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty and is now in the Metropolitan Museum of America.
Jiang Xiaoyang said doubtfully.
Lu Yan spent several months, first completing 25 paintings, and then plowing the inkstone field for three years, completing an unprecedented 100 paintings
"Isn't Xian Yushu's cursive "Song of the Stone Drum" hidden in the Metropolitan Museum of America?"
"Of course. There are not many representative works in a painter's life, and this "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volumes" is definitely Lu Yan's Among all the representative works of Shao Shao, it is unique and top-notch.
Lu Yanshao is an outstanding Chinese painter and outstanding Chinese painting educator in modern times. His artistic achievements and academic status are unparalleled, and he is known as the "Nanlu" together with Li Keran. Bei Li', can be called the 'master' of modern Chinese painting.
"17 million. ”
Although there are fewer bids coming and going, the rising trend has not slowed down at all.
He is particularly good at using the pen to express the different changes in natural mountains and rivers through different uses of the pen tip, pen belly, and pen base.
An album page appeared on the big screen, but compared to the previous album page, this one was much thicker.
Yunshui is his unique achievement, with majestic beauty and ups and downs.
Now that Mr. Lu Yanshao has passed away, "Du Fu's Poetry Hundred Open Volume" is even more precious! ”
Today’s Chinese art, if the price exceeds one million, it is considered high price, and there are only a few pieces over ten million a year.
"18 million."...
After hearing about it, Wu Hufan, a leading figure in the painting world, suggested creating a hundred yuan.
Are any of the artworks up for auction fake?
“16.5 million.”
This kind of art has huge room for appreciation. ”
In 1989, the 80-year-old Lu Yanshao worked hard in Beijing to repaint and complete the painting.
During the period of buzz, "Du Fu's Poetic Hundred-Flat Volume" was forced to be handed over to the Shanghai Academy of Painting. Thirty-five copies were stolen during the period, and only sixty-five copies were returned.
The second volume is this volume, which is a perfect work from the mature period of Xian Yushu's calligraphy skills. Its paper and ink are perfect, which is better than the final work of the "Metropolitan Edition". "
Hanhai sells two pieces a year, and the prices are very high.
"You want it? ”
It can be said that "Du Fu's Poetry Hundred Open Volume" is the pinnacle of Lu Yanshao's artistic achievements in his life, and it is also an artistic orphan formed under special historical conditions.
Hooking clouds and water, vast waves of smoke, steaming clouds and mist, endless changes, and the method of leaving large blanks and ink blocks was created.
Isn’t this nonsense?
The auction house’s appraiser didn’t have his eyes open again.
But what about fake ones? As long as there is an endorsement from the auction house, the inheritance will be in order, and it will be easier to sell it in the future.
Jiang Xiaoyang nodded.
The company's calligraphy and painting appraisers are all China's top calligraphy and painting appraisal experts, and there are not one, but three.
If the counterfeit can be fooled by all three of them at the same time, then it can probably be fooled by 99.99% of the appraisers in the country. If it is really this level, it doesn’t matter if it is true or false.
But this probability is too low.
“It’s already sixty million.” Jiang Xiaoyang said.
Xu Liang responded.
Not many are still bidding now.
"65 million, is there anything more than 65 million?"
The auctioneer is very excited. To this day, the Chinese auction market has not yet had an auction price exceed 60 million. It can be said that today’s auction is destined to make history.
As an auctioneer, he is destined to be remembered by countless people.
Xu Liang grabbed the number plate at hand. "66 million."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.
The auctioneer beamed.
"66 million, Mr. Xu offered 66 million. Is there anything higher?"
The three remaining bidders looked at me and I looked at you, and they all became hesitant.
Although they are all wealthy people in the eyes of ordinary people, they also look at who they compare with.
In front of Xu Liang, who has a net worth of 38.9 billion U.S. dollars, his legs are thicker than his own even if he plucks out his hair, so he has no chance of winning.
And what if you offend someone?
This is the big deal.
So the fierce competition the auctioneers hoped for never materialized.
For 66 million, this painting "Du Fu's Poetry in a Hundred Open Volume" by Lu Yanshao fell into the hands of Xu Liang smoothly.
The auctioneer was a little disappointed, but he still happily dropped the hammer.
"Congratulations to Mr. Xu for winning this final auction, congratulations."
With applause, the auction also came to an end.
But after the auction ended, no one left.
Looking at the fiery eyes, Xu Liang couldn't help but become nervous.
He is not afraid of these people, but he is afraid that they will affect the pregnant Jiang Xiaoyang.
"Mr. Xu, please come with me this way."
Cao Hui appeared in time and pointed to the other door of the conference room.
Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and left through the side door with Jiang Xiaoyang, Lu Hui and Huo Gang.
The person who took the sketch of him before quickly followed him.
Huo Gang, who was last, still remembered what Xu Liang had said before, so he did not stop him.
But others don't have such luck.
After leaving the large conference room, Cao Hui opened the door opposite.
A room filled with wine and food appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Xu, it's already noon. Why don't you stay and have a light meal before leaving?"
Xu Liang thought about it briefly and agreed, "Then you're welcome."
Cao Hui was overjoyed.
"Mr. Xu, please."
Respectfully welcome Xu Liang to the top.
Looking at the middle-aged man who followed, Xu Liang smiled and said: "You haven't asked for advice yet...?"
"My name is Wu Kebo, and I am the general manager of Magic City Zhihong Entertainment Co., Ltd. , this is my business card.”
Xu Liang took it and took a look.
Whether it was him or Zhihong Entertainment Co., Ltd., he had no impression at all.
Not only do I have no impression in this life, but also in my previous life.
Wu Kebo is also a good person. Looking at Xu Liang's expression, you can tell that others don't recognize him.
“Mr. Xu, the famous Japanese musician Tetsuya Komuro and I are very good friends. We also established Yoshimoto Kogyo Co., Ltd. together. Tetsuya Komuro and I both admire Mr. Xu very much.”
There was a hint of understanding on Xu Liang's face.
He didn’t know Wu Kebo, but he knew Komuro Tetsuya.
This guy promoted electronic dance music into the mainstream of Japanese pop music in the mid-1990s, setting off a social phenomenon known as "den mania."
He has produced most of the music for many famous singers, such as TRF, Tomomi Hanahara, Ami Suzuki, and Namie Amuro (early days), etc. He is recognized as having the greatest influence on the Japanese music industry in the 1990s. one of those.
The total sales of singles and albums produced by Tetsuya Komuro exceed 170 million copies, ranking first in Japanese history.
Of course, these are not the focus.
The point is that Tetsuya Komuro is affiliated with Aihui Records.
Hongmeng Dongying Company owns 43% of Aihui’s shares.
Originally there were not so many, but the global record industry has been in recession in the past two years. Although Japan has become an exception in the world, due to the impact of the general environment, record companies do not accept capital and pay attention.
Hongmeng Dongying Company continued to acquire equity and gradually became the largest shareholder.
"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be a senior executive of a multinational company."
"You praise me too much. My small achievements are nothing in front of you. However, we Zhihong Entertainment will invest in film and television dramas in China next, and hopes to cooperate with Hongmeng.”
"Hongmeng is happy to cooperate with any outstanding company, provided that Mr. Wu's script or work can be recognized by Hongmeng Entertainment."
Wu Kebo's smile froze, and then he nodded repeatedly.
"You are right, I will definitely lead the company to produce excellent works."
Xu Liang smiled, "Let's eat, don't let down Mr. Cao's kindness. ”
“Mr. Xu, I’ll pour you a drink.”
"Forget the wine, I have work in the afternoon, let's have tea instead of wine."
When he said this, others certainly didn't dare to refuse.
After finishing the meal, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Mr. Xu, there is another stamp sale in the afternoon..."
Xu Liang waved his hand, "Forget it, I appreciate Mr. Cao's kindness. I have to leave now because I have work in the afternoon. . The paintings I took will naturally be contacted by Hanhai.”
"Okay, okay."
"Goodbye, you two."
"Mr. Xu, walk slowly."
