It was still early, so Xu Yanmei was going to take Han Qi to see the venue where the gallery would be held.
She sat in the passenger seat and introduced the person driving next to Han Qi.
"This is Tang Hong, Hongyan's Hong. This time we will hold this exhibition in his gallery."
Tang Hong drove the car and smiled in the rearview mirror. He was very honest and said: "Hello, Mr. Han, I have been hearing people discussing your works since last month. I am very happy to participate in your work."
In the exhibition of his paintings.”
"You're too kind."
Seeing that it was not convenient for him to shake hands while he was driving, the handshake session was canceled and Tang Hong began to brag about Han Qi's past deeds.
"The buildings you designed in Norway are very beautiful. After I cooperated with Ms. Xu, I made a special trip to Norway to visit. I really like your works. Whether it is paintings or the Chinese Pavilion, it has a bit of oriental stream of consciousness, which is very classic.
"
Although it seemed to him that it was a very powerful and real thing, it sounded really embarrassing to Han Qi. He would get tired of hearing such kind words too many times, and now he hoped that someone would point out his shortcomings.
Except for the kind of anti-fan comments on Weibo.
When a cultural person curses someone, he must be well-founded, the kind of person who sees your strengths as your weaknesses, and dares to publish his stupid remarks on Weibo. He really feels that this person
There's something wrong with my brain.
It's definitely not a curse, but Han Qi's true thoughts.
Han Qi became famous so quickly, and various news emerged one after another. Sometimes it was about sculptures that were trending, sometimes it was about singing, and sometimes it was about architecture.
This kind of all-around talent has also become a point of criticism for many people.
It’s the same self-media, it’s the same being a star, as long as it’s the same profession, it’s very difficult to recognize a person’s excellence. Moreover, Han Qi doesn’t have any foundation. A year ago, he was just a student, and he still had no sense of existence.
College and university.
It's a long way off, but they've arrived at the place.
His gallery is located in the Caochangdi Art District of Yanjing. This place is at the junction of the Airport Bypass Road and the Fifth Ring Road, so it doesn't take long to drive there.
Caochangdi Art District is very close to the famous 798 Art District, but its current scale is not inferior to that of 798, with a construction area of nearly 80,000 square meters. You can see galleries and many painting studios everywhere along the road.
The architecture is also different from what you see on ordinary streets. It has a unique style. When you suddenly come in, you can really see a bit of artistic atmosphere.
Artists always have a lot of inspiration.
Just like Han Qi, he likes to be distracted when he is painting at home, or he will play with his mobile phone for a while, or use a paintbrush to scribble on the surrounding walls. Although Han Qi has nothing to do, these are all paintings he made.
, but if someone else walks in, the first thing they will think of is what an artist he is.
This is what it feels like when you come here.
The occasional graffiti seen on the road made Han Qi feel like he was on the streets of Europe.
Tang Hong's gallery in the central area still looks very powerful. It is currently closed. There is a huge poster at the entrance and at the intersection of the street to promote this Nordic art exhibition.
A very handsome poster that uses many of the artist's names and photos without revealing the painting.
Han Qi's paintings are the main exhibits of this art exhibition. Naturally, his name is also on the poster. The photos taken before can be used. Handsome and confident, he is placed at the center of a group of internationally renowned painters.
It definitely belongs to the C position.
Main works: "Daytime on Karl Johan Strasse"
Price: 12,000,000 euros.
The series of zeros dazzled those who saw it. For a moment, they didn’t know how much it was, so some people passing by stopped to take a closer look.
"One thousand two, one two three four, four zeros, twelve million? Or euros, how is that possible?"
"Isn't this Han Qi a singer?"
"Because I am a travel blogger, I followed him on station B. How much money can he buy for a painting? Is it money laundering?"
A group of people stood in front of the poster to discuss, and at least half of them were people working in this park.
Han Qi happened to hear it when they came over.
Tang Hong said with some embarrassment that it is normal for the industry to be jealous of colleagues. Mr. Han, please don't mind. When they see your work, they will probably know why that painting can be sold at such a high price.
Han Qi shook his head and said, "It's okay."
In fact, he was very angry, but he had to maintain his image and not change his expression all of a sudden. But he saw someone in the distance taking a picture of himself with a mobile phone.
He doesn’t like to read Weibo comments and private messages because he is afraid of being affected by such trolls.
Han Qi has never been a person with a good mentality, and he also clearly understands that in reality, no one will point their noses at you and say you are laundering money, and ask you why. So he prefers face-to-face communication with people.
With a normal expression on his face, he walked into the gallery chatting and laughing with Dale, who didn't understand Chinese.
Tang Hong seemed to know these people. After Han Qi walked in, he hurried over and said, "You should keep your voice down when discussing other people. Han Qi was the one who came in just now. He heard everything you said, which made me feel uncomfortable."
No face."
"That man just now was Han Qi?"
“It’s really hard to see clearly with a mask on.”
The young painter who questioned this as an act of money laundering did not take it seriously and laughed contemptuously:
"I don't believe that he understands this and that. He makes videos and posts videos of himself making wood carvings. I believe it. I believe the videos of him singing. But have you seen him painting? Or are you really sure about Norway?
Was he the one who designed the Huaxia Pavilion?”
"It's none of your business whether you believe it or not. How much does a painting cost for you? How much does a painting cost for others? Do you want to discuss it?" Tang Hong's tone became less polite.
He didn't have a good impression of this man.
"What's fake is fake. He can't be real." The young man snorted coldly, put his hands in the pockets of his sweatshirt and walked away. As he walked, he said: "People who know marketing can just draw something and publicize it and sell it for tens of millions."
We have to go out and we can only earn a few thousand yuan by painting a painting seriously for half a month. What’s the point of this?”
As soon as the propaganda in China came out, he checked Han Qi's information. A twenty-two-year-old student who was not a painting major could buy tens of millions for the first painting he painted?
He could only say two words: "Haha"
Seeing the people leaving, Tang Hong told the remaining people: "Please pay attention. I still said the same thing. You will know why when you see it. Before that, keep your mouths shut. You are not children."
Already."
"I know, Brother Tang." Everyone agreed.
Walking into the gallery, the sunlight from the outside is hidden in the corridor. This long corridor is illuminated by soft light, which is reflected in the paintings in this corridor.
Xu Yanmei said:
"The paintings here are all original works of their gallery, including works by well-known painters, as well as works by students who have just graduated from art schools. It seems that there are no rigid conditions for the selection of works by this gallery, but in the end they all sell for high prices."
Dale asked curiously: "Is it easy for them to accept works?"
"Of course it's easy to collect. There are so many people who are willing to put their works here that they can cross the threshold. There are rumors that as long as the works can enter here, the painter will not need to worry about money for at least two years."
"It's not bad, it's considered a boutique house." Dell nodded and said.
"There is definitely no comparison with your gallery." Xu Yanmei said.
The Dell Gallery collects works by famous artists, which are very famous throughout Northern Europe. The lowest price is a painting of three million euros. Sometimes there are customers from all the way from the United States spending huge sums of money, not only do they not bargain
, instead, they purchased new works by some painters at a premium.
Although this gallery is considered mid- to high-end in China, it is still far from the real upper class.
There are rumors that you cannot buy particularly precious paintings in Chinese galleries. Those works worth more than tens of millions have been auctioned. Painters of that level rarely cooperate with galleries like European painters.
Han Qi also looked at the works around him and said nothing.
I was still thinking about what the previous person said about me laundering money.
Doesn’t this look down on me too much?
If he met him in a game, Han Qi would really like to tell him what magnanimity is, what Confucianism is, and how to convince people with reason.
"Han Qi, what do you think?" Dale asked.
"Ah? Uh... I think everything is fine."
I don’t know what she said before, but after hearing what Han Qi said, she nodded and said: "Yes, young painters are very smart. Although the price is a little lower, the thoughts in the paintings are very rich. On the contrary, some of the more expensive ones
His works and thoughts are seriously rigid."
Xu Yanmei pointed to the one she liked better and asked: "How much would this painting be worth if put in your gallery?"
Dale looked at the 6,000 Chinese coins under the painting and said without hesitation: "I won't ask for it, but if I really like it, no matter how famous this person is, I can give him at least two hundred
The price reaches three million euros.”
She didn't pay the price, but she put the painting in her gallery for two or three million euros, waiting for rich people to take a fancy and buy it later.
Her name, Del Gladys, is worth millions at the festival.
Del held her head high, and her confident expression and tone made this handsome working woman look more like a queen.
Many girls have short hair, but as a woman who can keep hair as short as boys and still conquer the world with her own charm, Han Qi has only seen Dai Er after traveling to so many places.
Xu Yanmei was also very envious, nodded and said: "Yes."
Through the corridor, the light in the hall is very bright. After all, this is a separate venue, and at the beginning of the design, it was known that it would be used to display paintings in the future. Of course, the light should be left out, and even the structure should be used to
Increase the lighting area for natural light.
Many people are busy inside, wearing white gloves and carefully hanging a painting or installing it on a shelf.
Assistant Dale, whom she had met in Norway, was also here, using unskilled Chinese to direct the work. Next to her was the suitcase, or safe, that Han Qi had only seen two days ago. There should be something in it.
Han Qi's paintings.
In the distance, several tall security guards were sitting on chairs in the gallery discussing with serious expressions. They were probably in a meeting.
When Dale saw the suitcase, he remembered something and said to Han Qi: "Han, I think the insurance amount for your painting is a bit low. If you are willing, we can jointly insure it this year until it is sold."
until."
She didn't see this painting until she came here in the morning, and she immediately wanted to hide it and take it back to Norway secretly.
For ordinary painters, as long as they can maintain their own level in two paintings in a short period of time, they are considered good. But how can Han Qi maintain his own level? This is clearly the same person who suddenly improved his ability by 50% to paint it.
works.
It still has Han Qi's strong personal style, but it is more beautiful and more suitable for public viewing.
Art is a very niche thing, but if this niche can be presented in a way that both refined and popular people can appreciate it, those who like elegance can see what they like in it, and those who don't understand art will also feel sincere when they see it for the first time.
Say something awesome, not Shabi.
This kind of work is really rare to see.
Han Qi indeed has the potential to become a founding figure, and it won't be long, probably within the next few years.
Twenty million Chinese coins, how much is this?
If something unexpected happened, Del would be heartbroken.
Although there is no shortage of good paintings in her gallery, paintings of this level are not easily seen. With a little management, the price sold will definitely be much higher than Han Qi's previous painting.
"I... don't think it's necessary?"
It is possible to encounter danger when traveling abroad, but how is it possible in China?
He had not heard of robbers in China for many years. Even if there were robbers, they would rob gold, silver and jewelry. Who would come to rob a few paintings?
I really thought all the robbers were Chu Liuxiang.
Seeing that Han Qi didn't agree, Dale didn't say anything more. He decided to find his bank broker to ship it out of China through their insurance channel after the exhibition in China was over.
Like Han Qi, she feels that it is safest to be in her own gallery.
Tang Hong also walked up and asked: "Do you need any more arrangements? The art exhibition will be held tomorrow. It is also my first time to host such a large art exhibition, so I am a little nervous."
Xu Yanmei comforted: "There is nothing to be nervous about. The art exhibition is not a banquet. People who come here are here to see the paintings, not to listen to what we say or to see what you do. You only need to provide tomorrow's drinks and cakes."
Already."
Speaking of cakes, she looked at Han Qi and said, "I found that the snacks you made are very popular on the Internet recently. Do you want to make a few?"
"Forget it, it's too much trouble."
The arrangement process is proceeding smoothly. The best place in the exhibition was originally "Daytime". Now, this famous painting that has been highly praised in Europe has been put down and Han Qi's second work on the market, "Four Seasons" has been hung.
》.
No matter who sees this painting for the first time, they will think that the colors inside are flowing.
Xu Yanmei and Daier were also making preparations that they had not made before.
They originally thought that Han Qi's painting might not be able to be painted, or if it was painted, the quality might not be that good, so they prepared two sets of plans, and now they are launching the second set.
Xu Yanmei is contacting her friends in China to increase the influence of her art exhibition.
Judging from the fact that she has the same short hair as Del, she is the kind of person who regards Del as their goal - I may not be that good at painting, but I also want to stand in a place in the painting world and express my own voice.
sound.
And Dell is also contacting people. She is not contacting peers, but customers.
Big customers.
If this painting can be sold before the end of this Hua Xia Art Exhibition, then the insurance cost will not have to be borne by myself.
