Chapter 60 The troublemaker becomes the buyer
Michael said disdainfully: "If measured in your currency, it should be worth 10,000 yuan."
"Overall, the level of this exhibition is really too low."
"After I go back, I will publish a review article specifically discussing the current level of painting in China. But now I can give you a conclusion in advance."
"In the past fifty years, there has not been a single person in the Chinese painting world who can compete with us!"
Although Meng Feihu was also mentioned in this statement, Meng Feihu really agreed with Michael 's words:
"Yeah, how sad! Ever since the last batch of painting masters passed away, China has never produced a true master of painting again!"
"This Xu Jinjiang is even more of a disgrace to the Chinese painting world. He comes from a famous family, but he has no ambition to make progress. He only knows how to hype himself up in the entertainment industry all day long. He has simply tarnished the word painting!"
As he spoke, Meng Feihu acted as if he was deeply distressed.
Michael was actually showing off at this time:
"Your Chinese paintings are no longer good. You should learn more from us Ou Mei."
"Let's go, let's take a look at all the paintings here as soon as possible so that we can go back quickly and don't waste time here."
Deng Ziqi saw Meng Feihu and Michael whispering to each other and knew that something bad was going to happen:
"Uncle Jiang, these two guys are sneaking around over there. I don't know what bad tricks they are up to. We should kick them out right away!"
Xu Jinjiang was in a dilemma: "They just came to take a look. If they don't cause any trouble, there's no reason to kick them out."
Although Xu Jinjiang had already seen that these two guys were definitely collecting materials for the next bombardment.
But if I kick the guests out now, I will seem to have no manners.
Su Chen watched this scene without saying anything.
Online war of words?
Okay, Su Chen admitted that he was a fat otaku, but fat otakus were the best at online verbal battles.
If anyone dares to attack others unreasonably on the Internet, Su Chen doesn't mind standing up and fighting back.
Meng Feihu and Michael walked inside, looking and shaking their heads.
The further you go in, the older the works are and the lower their quality.
This should be Xu Jinjiang's work from a few years ago.
The more Meng Feihu watched, the more he despised them. The quality of these works was obviously worse than his own.
"Okay, I think we can make a final judgment on Xu Jinjiang's exhibition."
Now, there are only a few last paintings in the corner left to look at.
Michael shook his head repeatedly: "The level is too low!"
"It's not that you can't hold an art exhibition if the art level is low. But it's too much to hype up such an exhibition and make it known to the world!"
Meng Feihu showed a lewd smile: "I just can't stand this point of Xu Jinjiang!"
"Fuck, your skills are so rubbish, can't you just be more low-key? Why do you have to hype it up like this?"
"The ones at the innermost part must be even more unbearable."
However, before Meng Feihu finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became dull.
Because he suddenly saw some incredible paintings.
"Frogs' croaking comes from the mountain spring ten miles away", "Autumn scenery of Fuchun ", "Running horses"...
The level and realm displayed in each piece of work made Meng Feihu feel his scalp tingling.
Michael's smile, which was originally full of disdain, froze in an instant.
Because the paintings in front of him showed him extraordinary painting skills.
No one among the living painters in Ou Mei today can achieve such painting skills.
For a moment, all the contempt turned into admiration.
besides.
Michael suddenly saw an oil painting in the corner.
This oil painting titled "Boy with the Flute" struck Michael like a bolt of lightning.
You know, what Ouzhou people like most is oil painting.
All of Ou Mei's most influential paintings in modern times are oil paintings.
Michael looked at the painting of a young man in a Tang suit playing the flute and could hardly believe his eyes.
He never dreamed that in China, there were people whose oil painting skills could reach such a level!
As a professional painter, Michael has been immersed in oil painting for his entire life.
He had only seen such a level and such a realm in the masterpieces of those great painting masters from a hundred years ago.
But why, in the far East, in an exhibition of a painter whose level is only average, can we see works that are comparable to those of painting masters from a hundred years ago?
“I want to buy this painting!”
Then, when Michael thought of the rarity of the painting, he suddenly screamed.
This attracted the attention of everyone present.
At this time, it wasn’t long before the exhibition started, and all the celebrities from the entertainment industry were still there.
Seeing this situation, many people were very curious and gathered around.
Su Chen, Xu Jinjiang, and Deng Ziqi were very puzzled.
Aren’t these two guys here to deliberately cause trouble?
Why are you suddenly saying you want to buy a painting?
However, Su Chen 's reaction to Michael was not surprising.
Because what Michael was pointing at was the only oil painting he took out this time, "The Flute Player".
Of course, this work was changed by Su Chen to have a Chinese background.
As the first host of this exhibition, Xu Jinjiang immediately walked up.
Michael couldn't wait to shout out his offer:
"I'm willing to pay three million for this oil painting!"
Hearing these words, all the celebrities in the entertainment industry present at the scene couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Because, among all the Chinese painters alive today, no one's works can be sold at such a high price.
And, this is just a starting price.
Meng Feihu was immediately shocked by Michael's actions.
You know, an oil painting of this master-level standard would start at at least tens of millions of Euros in Ou Mei.
Now, this guy Michael actually wants to win it with just 3 million Chinese yuan?
That’s a nice thought!
It was at this time that Meng Feihu suddenly remembered that this was not just Xu Jinjiang's personal painting exhibition, but also that Su Chen had joined in.
Before, Meng Feihu had never taken Su Chen's paintings seriously except for wanting to take advantage of Su Chen's popularity.
Yes, Su Chen's popularity on the Internet is very amazing.
But so what, it’s just malicious hype in the entertainment industry.
Meng Feihu feels that it has nothing to do with high art such as painting.
Although, not long ago, Su Chen's paintings were sold for tens of millions at a charity auction, Meng Feihu felt that it was either Su Chen's self-promotion or the crazy behavior of his crazy fans, and it was hard to be sure.
However, now after witnessing Su Chen's works and painting level.
Meng Feihu was shocked to find that Su Chen actually had the level of a master painter.
This completely overturned Meng Feihu's perception of this art exhibition.
