News broke out again in Japan.
The news of Wu Daozi's past work formed a sharp echo, just like the two atomic bombs dropped in Hiroshima Nagasaki.
163 million are ahead and 180 million are behind, which are all high prices that create history.
Some people don’t understand why, but some people think that this is a lunatic. Isn’t money money?
For the sake of Yan Liben's original work, Miyamoto Kyuk had to bear the pain of giving up Wu Daozi's writings, especially the news that he thought it was just Liang Lingzan's copywriting at that time, was also public relations from various channels.
One day earlier, Miyamoto Genichi was scolded to death, but the next day, he became a warrior who bravely climbed the top.
The Japanese media used all methods to analyze and analyze, trying to lower the artistic value and historical value of the five-star and twenty-eight constellations true form map, and praised Wang Youjun's statue to the sky.
So what about the Painting Saint? It’s just a mere exercise. The portrait of Wang Youjun is a real artistic treasure, representing Yan Liben’s most mature painting skills. It’s not that Yan Liben is stronger than Wu Daozi, but that Yan Liben is better than the immature Painting Saint.
The story of Miyamoto Genichi sold a five-star and twenty-eight constellations and a photo of Wang Youjun was also spread in major Japanese media.
In the story, Miyamoto Kyuichi got the news that an auction house located in South Korea will auction the statue of King Yan Liben's Youjun, which now belongs to him at a later date.
Miyamoto Kyuk immediately rushed to South Korea, but the auction house stated that the seller's information must not be leaked, and Miyamoto Kyukuk wanted to make a deal directly from the seller.
He repeatedly confirmed that the statue of Wang Youjun is indeed the original work of Yan Liben, and Miyamoto Kenichi also determined the date of the auction, but he was very sad because the starting price alone had reached 100 million US dollars. Although Miyamoto Kenichi was not a poor man, he could not afford such a huge sum of money.
Fortunately, there was still a long time before the auction began. As soon as Miyamoto returned to Japan, he had been actively raising funds, hoping to bring the image of Wang Youjun back to Japan.
The process of raising funds was very difficult. Miyamoto Genius wanted to sell all the assets under his name. But even so, he found that there was still a certain gap from the transaction price he thought was possible.
At this time, a middle-aged man from China asked to see Miyamoto Kinichi. Based on the friendship of cultural exchanges, Miyamoto Kinichi met the man and agreed to the man's request to borrow the five-star, twenty-eight constellations true form map.
After the appreciation was completed, the Chinese man asked Miyamoto Genichi to purchase this five-star and twenty-eight constellations true image.
If it happened before, Miyamoto Genichi would definitely refuse and serve tea and see off guests.
However, it was the critical moment when Miyamoto Genichi wanted to raise funds.
The offer from the Chinese man did make Miyamoto Kenichi. After a long period of bargaining, Miyamoto Kenichi sold the five-star twenty-eight constellations real picture that was considered to be a copy of Liang Lingzan at that time to the Chinese man for a price of 100 million US dollars.
But unexpectedly, the Chinese man had a ill-intentioned intention. He had long judged that the true form of the five-star and twenty-eight constellations was the original work of the painting saint Wu Daozi, but he was secretly purchased at a high price of 100 million US dollars.
This is what happened at Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong.
At that time, Miyamoto Genichi was not aware of it. He had already gone to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, to prepare to participate in the auction of Wang Youjun's statue.
This is also the reason why Miyamoto Genichi was unable to answer domestic calls after the incident. He also knew about Sotheby's in Hong Kong at that time, and was extremely sad, but this also prompted him to make up his mind to invite Wang Youjun back to Japan and make him the treasure of the Osaka Municipal Art Museum.
That night, the auction began. Miyamoto Genichi defeated all the buyers participating in the auction with an indomitable momentum, and finally captured the statue of Wang Youjun of Yan Liben for a record price of 180 million US dollars.
At this moment, the statue of Wang Youjun is already on the list of collections of the Osaka Municipal Art Museum and will be released in a week.
The story itself is full of twists and turns, and it is still quite touching.
After all, this "respected" curator did not sell the true image of the five-star and twenty-eight constellations for his own selfish interests, but wanted to use that painting to exchange for a more important work.
Miyamoto Genichi himself also made remarks in the media. He condemned the middle-aged Chinese man's deception and said in tears that he was a sinner, which would allow the authentic works of the Painting Saint to be left in a foreign land.
"Although it was just a writing exercise in the early years of the Painting Saint. He did not even complete the entire scroll, but just copied the first scroll and put the pen down. But it was the work of the Painting Saint. If I had known this, I would rather lose all my money and sell all my industries to take back this portrait of Wang Youjun, and would never let the Painting Saint's past work be left in a foreign land..."
Miyamoto Gen burst into tears and even knelt down in the news, which immediately aroused widespread sympathy from the Japanese people.
These news quickly moved to the country, and they all scoffed at it. The people of the two countries were yelling at this matter. Of course, many experts and scholars began to analyze the quality of Wang Youjun's statue and the five-star and twenty-eight constellations from the perspective of artistic value and historical value. Their remarks were rampant, and the cultural departments of the two countries were vaguely confronted each other.
Shi Lei was still busy with the layout of two cities in Lingdong Province, but he also saw these news and controversies. Liu Zhen even called him and cursed Miyamoto Kyoichi's cunning scheming on the phone.
"Mr. Shi, are you ready to expose him?" Liu Zhen asked at the end.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "I'm worried about not knowing how to take myself out of this matter. He has helped me a lot. Now, these two paintings have nothing to do with me. Aren't he going to exhibit that painting in two days? Just as I'm idle, I'll just go there. Then point out the Olympic slogans above on the spot."
The same world and the same dream were originally the slogan of the 2008 Imperial Capital Olympics. With these two sentences, the so-called authentic work of Yan Liben is of course a fake.
Liu Zhen laughed, but said, "You'd better not go, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary disputes. Such disputes can easily rise to the national level. Originally, the relationship between the two countries has always been very subtle, and such things are afraid they are not good."
Shi Lei pondered slightly and said, "What Ms. Liu said is reasonable, then I will find a friend and expose this matter without showing any slightest expression. At that time, it will be too late for Miyamoto to change his words."
Liu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let Jiani go."
Shi Lei hurriedly said, "No. You said that Miyamoto Kyōichi called you as soon as possible and questioned that you had lied to him. If it were Liu Jiani, Miyamoto Kyōichi was afraid that he would hate you even more. Although there was no way to deal with you, there was no need to lay a disaster. I'll arrange it myself, there was always a way."
After Liu Zhen thought about it carefully, he felt that Shi Lei was right and stopped insisting.
Because he had to prepare to let Shi Qiang return to Wu Dong to take over Yao Er's position, Yao Er came to Bao'an. Shi Lei had full trust in Yao Er, so he told him roughly about this. Of course, he did not say that this matter had something to do with him, but just asked a friend to name him.
Chapter completed!
