Han Qi didn't sleep well that night and kept thinking about tomorrow's art exhibition.
As for the craze caused by his paintings abroad, domestic mainstream media have never reported on it. Han Qi doesn’t know why. Maybe it’s because there are too few paintings and the only one is well protected. They
Can’t see the real thing?
Or maybe even the media finds it difficult to believe that Han Qi can paint such works, and they are all waiting and watching.
What you say must be based on evidence.
The evidence is now on display in the gallery, surrounded by more than a dozen security guards.
There have been sporadic media reports before that Han Qi's paintings have been sold for sky-high prices abroad, and numerous universities are eager for Han Qi to give lectures in their colleges. But after seeing such news, even some die-hard fans of Han Qi felt that these media were
Random reporting.
Doesn't Han Qi just like to draw simple sketches when he has nothing to do? He is just an art school student, how can he sell it for such a high price?
So far, their impression of Han Qi is that of a singer and traveler.
These two identities are the most widely spread. Seventy percent of Han Qi’s fans in China come from these two professions, followed by designers who have been reported by a large number of media such as CCTV, and then writers and sculptors.
, racing driver.
He has a wide range of hobbies, which is something that many people recognize, but the fact that he crossed over from a singer to a painter makes many people think it is sensational.
"well……"
Han Qi sighed quietly on the big bed in the hotel.
It depends on tomorrow.
However, the inability to sleep cannot be entirely attributed to nervousness. The main reason is that I stay up late at home every day, and my biological clock is almost reversed. I feel more energetic at this time in the middle of the night than during the day.
I don’t know when I fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the phone rang.
Han Qi fumbled for his phone and checked the time. It was only 7:10 in the morning. At this time, Han Qi was obviously awake. He answered the phone and said:
"Hello?"
"It's me, Xu Yanmei, are you up?"
"Oh, Sister Xu."
"Will you come with us now?"
Han Qi thought for a while and felt a little timid. He wanted to go alone to see what ordinary people thought of his paintings, so he refused: "I won't go there. I'll go there later to see it alone."
See the effect."
Xu Yanmei knew what Han Qi was thinking and comforted: "Your painting will amaze everyone. There is no need to worry."
"Haha, let me lend you some good words."
At nine o'clock this morning, the week-long (cold Nordic) art exhibition is about to begin.
Xu Yanmei must go there earlier so that if there are any problems, they can be solved on the spot. This art exhibition is organized by Xu Yanmei independently and has nothing to do with Dell Gallery. She just borrowed some works from Dell Gallery.
After hanging up the phone, Han Qi procrastinated for a while before getting up and washing up after passing the hotel.
At the end of July, this was the last craziness of summer. The dry air and high temperature of 31 degrees made pedestrians on the road dizzy. Han Qi was not used to this environment, but fortunately, Han Qi was not kept waiting downstairs for long.
There were many taxis, and soon one stopped in front of Han Qi.
"Where are you going, brother."
"To Caochangdi."
"Art Village, are you going to see the art exhibition too?"
"You also know about today's art exhibition?"
Is Sister Xu’s publicity so good?
The driver cheered and said with some pride: "What does the driver of Yanjing not know? Don't you think so? But I just found out about the art exhibition today. I pulled two of them in the hour just now."
The little girl who went to see the art exhibition over there."
"Not old?"
"How old can you be? Do you know who the painter is? Han Qi is the one who travels everywhere and sings very well. To be honest, his songs are really good and I like them too, but aren't all the people chasing stars are young girls?
?You think so?"
"..."
Han Qi said nothing, but the driver continued to chat:
"I heard that one of his paintings sold for more than 10 million. Hey, you can buy a house in the Second Ring Road. This star makes money really fast. I remembered that there was a young guy who posted photos of himself online.
, the fee-based one, I made five million in one night.”
Han Qi also knew about this. He wanted to prove that his painting behavior was different from this kind of little fresh meat. This required strength.
Moreover, my apartment worth more than 10 million yuan is in euros. Not to mention a house, a villa is no problem.
But so what if it’s proven.
Han Qi put down the car window and wandered away, thinking about what the uncle said just now... Could it be that all the people who came to the art exhibition today were little girls?
No, there will always be a few people who are slightly older and have a bit of artistic sense, right?
The sun was still shining brightly, but Han Qi's heart felt a little cold.
But if you want to come back, wouldn’t it be nice if someone could see it? This is just the first day of the art exhibition, so it’s normal for all the fans to come. Moreover, Caochangdi is already an art district, so those painters and buyers don’t need to take a taxi there.
People with financial means must always use private cars.
Han Qi became angry again.
Get out of the car and walk towards the gallery with the driver’s voice saying “Have a good time”.
Today's entrance to the gallery is a little different from yesterday. There are flower baskets on display. The young ladies at the entrance are wearing plain cheongsam. They are about 1.75 meters tall and wearing such a good-looking style. They all look like goddesses.
Similar.
There are many levels of art exhibitions. Some art exhibitions are free to visit, but today this one is a paid art exhibition.
Fifty yuan a ticket is not a lot.
When Xu Yanmei first planned it, it was free, but her friends in several galleries in Northern Europe supported the works of many famous artists, especially Dale, who brought many expensive oil paintings in one breath, and especially invited Han Qi
, if there is no charge, then the gallery should not be crowded with visitors?
In addition to the receptionist, there were many people waiting outside the door with tickets.
There are boys and girls. Although there are more girls, they are not all little girls as the driver said. Many girls are richer at first glance.
Still very sexy.
Han Qi didn't look for Xu Yanmei and Tang Hong. He bought a ticket and stood in line at the back.
In front of him was a couple. The man was in his forties, quite thin, and his hair had some hairspray... Han Qi felt that when boys are in their forties, as long as they don't gain weight, don't lose their hair, and don't engage in physical labor, they will look bad.
Very elegant.
The woman is around thirty, slightly shorter than the man, but her makeup looks particularly good.
He said they were a couple, mainly because he didn't know whether they were a couple.
The woman whispered to the man: "This art exhibition is very different from other art exhibitions. There are too many people here, right?"
"With Han Qi's works, there is nothing we can do about it." The man shook his head, "I estimate that half of the people in the gallery are Han Qi's personal fans. They are not here to see the paintings, but to support him. You see
Those in front of us should be the ones."
Han Qi glanced sideways and saw several students still carrying schoolbags.
When it comes to Han Qi, the girl's eyes are a little curious: "I heard that a rich man in Norway fell in love with her paintings at a glance, paying 12 million euros. There are very few painters in China whose works can reach this level, right? Really?
I want to go quickly and see what it’s like.”
The man pursed his lips and said after a long time:
"I'm also very curious, and the paintings on display today are not only the "Daytime", but also Han Qi's new work. I heard that Xu Yanmei immediately replaced the main exhibition painting as soon as she saw that painting. This new work
It's definitely better than "Daytime"."
Judging from the tone of voice, you still know Xu Yanmei?
Is he an acquaintance?
The two of them rarely talked after that. The man's face was more serious. Han Qi guessed that he was also a painter. And he should be not low... Of course, this was Han Qi's sixth sense. He couldn't tell what his specific occupation was.
.
Improving eyesight is not an improvement in experience. In this regard, Han Qi is still the same boy as before.
Go into the gallery.
The place is still the same, but there are too many people.
Han Qi once participated in an art exhibition while traveling in the UK. It was relatively quiet, probably because of the relatively remote location. Anyway, it was like a social place. If you thought someone was looking at it, you would say "You"
Do you like this painting?'
And here...
market?
There are many people in the corridor at the door, all admiring the paintings on the corridor.
For many people, the exhibits above are the only ones they can afford. The paintings in the hall cost millions. They have so much money, but they don’t want to use the money to buy works by modern painters.
What kind of antiques, who knows if they will retain their value?
Squeezing in along the crowd, Han Qi saw Tang Hong standing in the corner of the gallery.
Tang Hong also saw Han Qi. Although Han Qi was wearing a mask, he still recognized Han Qi at a glance. When Xu Yanmei came over in the morning, she told him that Han Qi would come by herself. With such news, only then could the
Recognition of handsome guy wearing mask and hat.
He smiled and nodded at Han Qi.
Han Qi's restless heart calmed down a little.
He walked towards the place with the most people.
Han Qi doesn't like places with too many people, such as holiday attractions and supermarkets with discounts. But today, even if he doesn't like it, he still wants to come and have a look. He has always known what they think of him from friends and discussions with some artists.
attitude of the work.
But what about ordinary people?
Unlike other artists in the gallery, their paintings have a certain degree of artistic accomplishment that ordinary people cannot understand.
It's a bit self-proclaimed to say this. Some people may ask why ordinary people can't understand it?
Art is just like movies. Most people can't watch some movies with higher depth. They even think that this movie is confusing and the editing is messy... But people who can understand it just feel that it has depth.
Very interesting.
Han Qi believes that he has managed to appeal to both refined and popular people, but he also wants to hear the opinions of ordinary people.
There are a lot of people here, and it can be said to be the area with the most people.
Hanging on the wall is Han Qi's new work "Four Seasons". The hanging position is slightly higher than people's heads, so you don't need to squeeze in close to see it clearly. There is a line one meter apart from the wall, and there are two security guards.
Stand straight at both corners of the line to prevent anyone from approaching.
Most paintings have such protection, but not many are guarded.
There were very few people talking. Those in front were all admiring it carefully. Only those who had just come from the back and saw it made a sound of exclamation.
"The painting seems to be moving?"
"This is the effect of color." someone replied.
Half of the people who come here are Han Qi's personal fans, which should be about the same, or even higher.
But there are still many art practitioners, or people who pay more attention to the oil painting industry. They know the status of Han Qi's works abroad, so they come with mental preparations... But now it seems that this preparation is not enough.
There was a man in the front with a flushed face. He held a magnifying glass against his eyes and bent his upper body forward.
The security guard was also pushing him hard.
"Don't come near this line, if you do this again we will ask you out!"
"Let me take another look, let me take a closer look!"
His eyes were wide open and bloodshot.
Han Qi recognized the person who mocked him at the gallery door yesterday. Han Qi, who has a good memory, could clearly recall what he said yesterday:
"Money laundering."
Lu Xinghuai looked like he was going crazy. Why do the colors in this painting flow? Why?
A college student has not been painting since elementary school. Why?
Why?
He was born in a small village and almost emptied his family's savings to learn painting. When he took the college entrance examination, he discovered that what the teacher taught was useless for the art exam. So he repeated the course for a year and retaught himself painting knowledge, and passed the Huamei College Entrance Examination.
.
Now I am twenty-seven, have no girlfriend, no savings, and a painting can cost only a few thousand yuan at most.
Are there such big differences between people?
He wanted to study this painting. He really wanted to know how Han Qi made this painting. He didn't even have the time to think about why Han Qi's paintings could be sold for so much money. He just wanted to know why Han Qi could do it.
Draw something like this.
Han Qi watched it for a long time.
The security was still awesome and they had the situation firmly under control.
And he was the only one who was crazier. Everyone else was looking at the paintings and then left reluctantly.
The couple who had queued in front of Han Qi also walked over slowly. They came to the art exhibition really to appreciate the works, so they walked very slowly. They agreed with Xu Yanmei's aesthetics and the Nordic works included in this art exhibition.
All are beautiful.
When he walked to the main exhibition area and saw "Four Seasons", the man who usually had a calm expression also showed a surprised expression.
"No wonder Europeans say that Korean flowers will lead a new round of oil painting revolution. This is also..." He couldn't think of an adjective.
"People over there say that Han Qi's paintings are a new genre, called New Colorism by many art academies. I never understood why it is called New Colorism... Now I understand, this color is too
Absolutely right?"
The man's expression calmed down.
After watching it carefully for a few minutes, he said with a smile:
"I'm very lucky. I'm lucky that Han Qi is a Chinese. Oil painting originated in the West, and the market in our country has never been big. Without the oil painting market environment in Europe, I thought I would never see such works appear in this life.
In our country."
"It seems that Han Qi is really powerful."
"Let's continue looking forward. In front of us is Han Qi's work that sold for 12 million euros. After today's art exhibition is over, we will ask Xu Yanmei to help us contact Han Qi."
