Chapter 295 Adding Fuel to the Fire
In other words, based on his contribution to charity, Hu Kangmei admires Su Chen very much.
But now we are talking about calligraphy creation, which is my home court!
Hu Kangmei would not deliberately try to curry favor with Su Chen.
After Su Chen obtained the "Master-level Calligraphy Skill Package", his eyesight naturally improved.
He just looked for a while and then walked away.
This made Hu Kangmei feel even worse about Su Chen.
Young people are still too impetuous!
Although you are very popular in the entertainment industry, you are still a layman in calligraphy.
You can't even stand to look at the calligraphy of a master. Are you deliberately putting up a wall in front of me?
Yes, this is what Hu Kangmei thought in his heart at this moment.
He felt that Su Chen must have lost his previous sense of superiority in front of a great calligrapher, so he deliberately pretended to be disdainful.
Su Chen ignored Hu Kangmei's strange look.
Then we came to the table of another modern calligraphy master, Zhang Xuguang.
Zhang Xuguang was very happy about Su Chen's arrival.
It is a very honorable thing for him to have a popular star like Su Chen come to appreciate his calligraphy.
However, he did not greet Su Chen, but continued to concentrate on his calligraphy creation.
This is the time to show off your calligraphy skills.
Let Su Chen see what a modern calligrapher is.
We don’t understand things in the entertainment industry, but when it comes to calligraphy, Xiaochen, you should still pay more attention to us!
Well, Su Chen was not surprised by this.
After all, they are all pure people.
This person is also creating cursive calligraphy.
Su Chen looked for a while and continued walking forward.
At that moment, he came to the desk of Su Shishu, the president of the Calligraphy Association.
"Teacher Su Chen, please take a seat."
In sharp contrast to the indifferent attitude of the previous two, Su Shishu immediately greeted Su Chen warmly when he saw Su Chen coming.
In Su Shishu's eyes, Su Chen is a treasure.
With Su Chen's current influence and appeal in the entertainment industry, there are only benefits and no harm in establishing a good relationship with Su Chen!
Apart from anything else, as long as I get closer to Su Chen, I might become an internet celebrity calligrapher!
"President Su, great calligraphy!"
It is impolite not to reciprocate. Seeing that the other party was so polite, Su Chen smiled and complimented him.
Su Shishu created a piece of running script calligraphy, which indeed looks like a work of profound skill.
It seems that President Su is not a person who gets his reputation for nothing.
"Teacher Su Chen, you are too kind."
Su Shu was very happy to receive Su Chen's praise.
So, I started chatting with Su Chen.
"Teacher Su Chen, how long have you been practicing calligraphy?"
Su Chen told the truth:
"I seldom practice. I type on the computer now. I rarely write with a pen except for signing."
Hearing these words, Su Shishu shook his head and sighed.
"Mobile phones and computers are the two most murderous weapons that kill traditional culture!"
"There are very few young people nowadays who can write neatly. It's a tragedy of the times!"
"Teacher Su Chen, I suggest you practice calligraphy more. Otherwise, signing autographs for fans will be messy and embarrassing!"
Su Chen and Su Shishu were originally the two most popular people in the whole audience.
One is the hottest star at the moment, and the other is the advocate of this calligraphy exchange charity auction, the president of the Calligraphy Association, and one of the calligraphers with the highest attainments in modern calligraphy!
Su Shishu's speech attracted a lot of audiences.
Because at this time, some quick calligraphers have already completed their own creations and started to observe the works of their peers.
They agreed very much with Su Shishu's speech and immediately gave him a round of applause.
"President Su said it well!"
“It’s really a wake-up call!”
"But Brother Chen is an exception! No one is perfect!"
“…”
Su Chen didn't know how to respond to this.
At the moment, we can only focus on Su Shishu's calligraphy works.
However, Su Chen accidentally discovered some problems.
Under the watch of the crowd.
Su Shishu suddenly realized that there seemed something wrong with the way he taught Su Chen a lesson.
After all, he's in public, and it looks like he's taking advantage of his seniority.
Quickly change the subject:
"Let's get back to the topic! Let's continue!"
At that moment, Su Shishu picked up the brush again and continued his calligraphy creation.
In this way, everyone gradually dispersed.
Su Chen just smiled at Su Shu's words.
Continue to visit various places.
Not long.
All calligraphers who participated in the calligraphy exchange charity auction have completed their calligraphy creations.
Therefore, under the chairmanship of President Su Shishu, the exchange auction officially began.
Deng Ziqi was now interested:
"Brother Chen, how much do you think my calligraphy can sell for?"
Su Chen shook his head:
“It’s hard to say.”
This is a charity auction after all, and the prices are not determined by the actual value of the calligraphy, so who can say for sure?
Yang Mi rarely gave Deng Ziqi a compliment:
“It shouldn’t be low!”
Her number of fans and online popularity are both higher than Deng Ziqi's, so Yang Mi is still very confident in the charity auction.
When everyone's "calligraphy attainments" are similar, it is definitely her own work that can be auctioned at a high price, so at this time, Yang Mi has no need to be jealous of Deng Ziqi.
During the chat between three people.
There are already calligraphy works being exhibited on the stage.
Su Chen discovered that Su Shishu had put a lot of thought into making this event a success.
The form of exchange auction is quite unique.
First a calligraphy work is exhibited, and then a third calligrapher is invited to comment on it.
After the review, the real-time auction will be conducted.
The first few who appeared on stage were all less famous modern calligraphers.
What made Su Shishu happy was.
Despite this, the atmosphere on the scene was still very warm.
If a large number of security personnel had not been added to the scene, the place would have probably been overwhelmed by the fanatical fans.
The discussion of this event on the Internet has also increased dramatically.
This is a situation that has never occurred in any of the calligraphy exchange meetings that Su Shishu has participated in before.
Of course, Su Shishu knew that all this was because Su Chen brought Yang Mi and Deng Ziqi here, which injected vitality into this event.
When the calligraphy of Xia Yu was exhibited, it was commented on by Su Shishu himself.
He spoke highly of Xia Yu's calligraphy works.
First of all, judging from the calligraphy skills, Xia Yu’s calligraphy has reached the level of a calligrapher.
Secondly, the rain brought Su Chen to the event, as well as Yang Mi and Deng Ziqi, which was a buy one get two free deal, making the event more popular than ever before.
In this case, Su Shu must commend the rain.
Calligraphers such as Zhang Xuguang and Hu Kangmei at the scene gave warm applause to Xia Yu.
This calligraphy of "Heart Sutra" in small regular script, which was painted in the rain, was finally sold at a high price of 800,000 yuan.
You know, those who participated in this event are basically some not-so-famous modern calligraphers.
The fan appeal is too poor, and the highest price paid for the calligraphy exhibited earlier was only 200,000 yuan per piece.
Now, the calligraphy work of "It's Raining" has the highest price in the whole venue!
Such a price also made many calligraphers present at the scene ashamed.
Alas, no matter in terms of calligraphy attainments or fame, they cannot compare with Xia Yu.
So shameful!
After a round of exhibitions, Zhang Xuguang's calligraphy works were hung on the stage.
Xia Yu personally appeared on stage to appreciate and comment on Zhang Xuguang's cursive calligraphy.
This calligraphy work was eventually sold for 600,000 yuan.
This is the scene I saw through the Tiger Duck live broadcast.
Netizens have begun to look forward to Su Chen's calligraphy works.
"I wonder how good Brother Chen's calligraphy is?"
"It looks like Brother Chen's work will be the finale!"
"I think the organizers are just trying to take advantage of Brother Chen's popularity!"
"To be honest, judging from my previous handwriting, Brother Chen's calligraphy is still a little lacking! "
"Maybe the calligraphy work about rain is the highest price in the whole venue! Brother Chen is just a background for others, it's not worth it!"
“…”
Just at this moment.
Deng Ziqi's works were displayed on the stage.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were immediately delighted.
"Is Deng Ziqi the comedian of this session?"
"I have to admire Deng Ziqi's courage! This handwriting can be considered clean! How dare you put it up and exhibit it on the same stage as the works of calligraphers?"
"It's all for charity, please understand!"
"Deng Ziqi was forced to do this, can everyone understand this?"
"Including Brother Chen, he was coerced! He had no choice but to go ahead with it!"
"Yeah, okay, everyone please bear with me a little more!"
“…”
There was a commotion at the scene.
Obviously, in the eyes of many calligraphers, such "calligraphy" is really unacceptable.
This made Deng Ziqi feel a little embarrassed.
But you guys forced me to do this, I don’t want to write yet!
However, in the end, Deng Ziqi's "calligraphy" was sold for 400,000 yuan.
This made the modern calligraphers present at the scene sigh with regret.
Alas, this is the gap between people.
Next, the exhibition will feature Yang Mi’s calligraphy.
This made Yang Mi feel the pressure all of a sudden.
There was no way, she knew very well that she was just a filler.
However, what comforted Yang Mi was that perhaps she was immune to Deng Ziqi's "calligraphy".
Her works, when exhibited, did not cause that much commotion.
In the end, a handwritten quatrain of Tang Dynasty poetry was sold at a high price of 500,000 yuan.
The fans at the scene were no longer surprised by such a result.
After all, the celebrity's fan appeal is there.
The stars can just come out and tinker with it, as long as the fans are willing to pay for it.
In fact, it is the modern calligraphers who produce negative emotions.
Those who participated in this event are basically old calligraphers over 50 years old.
They have been immersed in this industry for their entire lives, but in the end, the works they created are not as good as the casual graffiti of traffic stars. How can you expect them to let it go?
At this time, only the works of Su Shishu, the president of the Calligraphy Association, were left, and Su Chen's works were no longer on display.
To show respect to Su Chen.
Su Shishu finally decided to let Su Chen's work be the finale of the exhibition.
Putting aside his attainments in calligraphy, Su Chen's influence today is unmatched, and he must be the finale.
Only in this way can the influence of this event be maximized.
For this reason, when one's work is exhibited.
Su Shishu also specially invited Su Chen to come on stage to give him appreciation and comments.
Facing such a situation, Su Chen was a little uncomfortable:
"Let's not do that."
However, before Su Shishu could make any further statement, the fans at the scene and many modern calligraphers had already started to make a noise.
"Brother Chen, come one!"
"Just say a few words!"
"Please invite Brother Chen to the stage!"
“…”
The fans came to see Brother Chen, and the calligraphers came to increase exposure for the event and themselves.
Maybe just one shot can make them internet celebrity calligraphers!
The audience in the live broadcast room had already consciously issued a collective appeal.
"Brother Chen! Brother Chen!"
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen!"
“…”
Yang Mi and Deng Ziqi beside him were both encouraging him:
"Brother Chen, just say whatever you want!"
"Brother Chen, it's up to you to raise awareness for the event!"
The Su tree on the stage added fuel to the fire:
"Teacher Su Chen, this is all for charity! The whole internet is watching you!"
Well, facing such a situation, Su Chen knew he couldn't escape, so he had to stand up and go on stage.
Seeing Su Chen coming up, Su Shishu, as the organizer of this event and the president of the Calligraphy Association, was very happy.
No doubt about it, after today.
His Su tree and his calligraphy works will become a hot topic of attention across the entire network.
Once the popularity and traffic increase, this wave of operations can make him gain both fame and fortune!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sincerely thank the rain. If it weren't for the rain, Su Chen would have been brought here.
How could he possibly get this big pie that fell from the sky!
Su Chen picked up the microphone:
"Teacher Su's calligraphy works are elegant yet vigorous and full of charm!"
“It represents the pinnacle of modern calligraphy.”
After being in the business for so long, Su Chen still knows how to say polite words.
Bang bang bang!
There was a burst of warm applause and cheers at the scene.
However, Su Shishu still felt that something was not yet fully understood.
"Teacher Su Chen, learning never ends. I know that my calligraphy still has a lot of shortcomings!"
"Please give me some advice, Teacher Su Chen!"
When he was young, Su Shishu studied calligraphy under a famous teacher. After middle age, he became a disciple of the modern calligraphy master Qi Gong. He believed that he had learned the true teachings of Qi Gong.
In terms of calligraphy attainments, he is basically the best in the world.
Su Shishu hoped to hear Su Chen say that his calligraphy was flawless and the best in the world.
In this way, after Su Chen's golden mouth gilding, the influence of his Su Tree in the calligraphy world and even the entire Internet will surely increase sharply!
Su Chen was a little embarrassed:
“Isn’t this a bit bad?”
Su's Tree:
"Of course! Live and learn!"
"Teacher Su Chen, just tell me what you think."
I have studied calligraphy all my life. As an outsider, how can you point out my shortcomings?
You have to flatter me? Hahahaha...
