There happened to be nothing to do, Zhang Xuan also wanted to know how to assess calligraphers and painters, so he followed the young man in Qingyi and walked towards the direction where the crowd was noisy.
Right in front of the crowd, dark green tables and chairs were placed against the wall. A boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in white, sat on the chair with his eyes closed.
"Master Zimo, I love you and I want to give you a child!"
"Shameless, Young Master Ji is mine. If anyone snatches it from me, I will tear her clothes to pieces!"
"Miss, there is a beautiful woman over there that you want to snatch. Go and tear her clothes off, and we will help you!"
"..."
Mr. Zimmer in front is still closing his eyes, while many women below are already going crazy.
"Although Mr. Ji is not very old, he cares about his beauty. The most important thing is that he has a face like a crown jewel, a handsome figure, and is admired by many girls!" The young man in green lowered his voice.
Zhang Xuan nodded and looked at Mr. Zimmer. This guy was indeed fair-skinned and quite handsome. Although his eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, giving him the feeling of a smile, which was quite popular with girls.
He has talent, strength, family background, and most importantly, looks pretty good. No wonder so many women are crazy about him.
"What...is he doing?"
Seeing the other party sitting upright, ignoring the quarrels around him, with his eyes closed, Zhang Xuan asked.
"When Master Zimo wants to paint, he should calm his mind and adjust his state!" said the young man in green.
"Adjust the status? Here?" Zhang Xuan was surprised.
It's just a painting. I usually just grab a pen and do it. This thing... still needs to be adjusted?
Besides, even if you adjust, it would be great to go to a place where no one is quiet. There are so many people here and it is noisy. Why adjust?
"Mr. Ji became a master of calligraphy and painting before he was twenty. He is extremely talented and all his actions have profound meanings. How can a country bumpkin like you understand this?"
Hearing his doubtful voice, before the boy in green clothes could speak, a girl turned her head and glared angrily.
"That's right, the layman who came out of nowhere, go away and don't tarnish Mr. Ji's calligraphy and painting here!" Another woman snorted.
Wow!
There was an empty space, and all the women around him stared at him coldly, with disgust on their faces.
"Well?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan was speechless after being treated with hostility by so many people without saying anything.
"There is a guild of calligraphers and painters in the Tianwu Kingdom. Many people like calligraphy and painting and are arty, so the status of calligraphers and painters is very high. Mr. Zimmer is one of the best and is sought after by countless people. It is best not to say anything here.
Otherwise, you can scold people to death!"
The boy in Tsing Yi lowered his voice with a wry smile.
Zhang Xuan nodded and was about to speak when he saw Mr. Ji with his eyes closed in front of him. He opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
"Look, Mr. Ji is about to paint!"
“I don’t know what level of paintings I will make!”
"It goes without saying that Mr. Ji is a formal calligrapher and painter, and he can definitely produce second-level works."
…
Seeing him open his eyes, everyone who had been glaring angrily before was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Xuan and looked forward again, with stars one after another popping up in their eyes.
A formal calligrapher and painter, also known as a master of calligraphy and painting, is the same as Lu Chen, whose original name is the same. He can easily create second-level or even third-level paintings. As for whether he can achieve success, it depends on luck and condition.
The first four realms of calligraphy and painting are: recording, agility, intention, and surprise.
"Zimo is about to make a fool of himself next time!"
Mr. Zimo stood in front of the desk. With a shake of his palm, a folding fan appeared in front of him. He fanned twice, his black hair flying and his white clothes like the wind: "The paintings I made will be auctioned on the spot. However, Ji will not take any of the money.
Use it to build a calligraphy and painting hall, invite calligraphy and painting apprentices, and teach, so that more people can like and understand calligraphy and painting!"
"As expected of Mr. Ji, he regards money as dirt..."
"The character of a scholar is admirable!"
…
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar again, especially many women, who screamed one by one.
"This guy is quite good at winning people's hearts!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
This Mr. Zimmer looks young, but he has a deep sense of officialdom and knows what can attract others' attention.
This is the same as the so-called charity auctions of celebrities in previous lives. To put it bluntly, it is just a gimmick.
If you really want to build a calligraphy and painting hall so that everyone can understand and love calligraphy and painting, just do it quietly. There is no need to make such a big noise. What's more... It's late autumn now, and it's night again. It's a bit cold standing there.
Also fan...
"Quiet!"
Closing the folding fan, Mr. Zimmer waved his hand: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense. I will start painting now. I hope you can keep quiet!"
After hearing his words, everyone who had been screaming before suddenly stopped.
With a gentle smile, Mr. Ji Mo plucked his sleeve, grasped it with his palm, and a writing brush appeared in his palm.
The rice paper is spread out, and the left hand is pressed on the table. Under the impact of the true energy, the ink in the inkstone falls on the tip of the pen. The right hand dances, and the pen falls on the paper.
The dragons and phoenixes are dancing, and the atmosphere is myriad.
Wow!
The brush swims on the paper, just like a fish swimming in a pond. As time goes by, a painting slowly appears.
It's a landscape picture.
The mountains are towering, and there are strange forests and rocks. The running water is wandering among them, and the knocking on the stone surface is like a "ding-dong" sound. All the leaves are dancing in one direction, as if there is a breeze blowing.
"This is a work of the second realm of agility!"
After taking a look, Zhang Xuan nodded secretly.
After studying Tiandao calligraphy and painting at Master Lu Chen's home, I have a deep understanding of the profession of calligraphy and painting. Even without using Tiandao Library, I can appreciate some paintings and calligraphy.
This landscape painting has beautiful mountains and clear waters, as if people have seen a mountain range with their own eyes. The breath is agile and gives people a strange sense of beauty, which shows that it has reached the realm of spiritual movement.
However, although it is very brilliant, there is no artistic conception or charm in the landscape, that is, it does not reach the so-called meaning.
"It's a pity. If you don't show off your skills too much and paint with peace of mind, maybe you can really reach this state!" After looking at it for a while, Zhang Xuan sighed.
Although Mr. Zimmer looks a bit pretentious, his calligraphy and painting skills are indeed good. Logically speaking, as long as you concentrate on painting, it should not be difficult to create works with a third-level artistic conception.
Unfortunately, in order to make the movements look good, many places were too exaggerated and the original intention of the painting was ignored. In the end, the painting only reached the peak of agility and was only a little short of the intention.
I sighed in my heart, but didn't say it out loud.
He just came here to see how calligraphers and painters were assessed, and had nothing to do with Mr. Zimmer. Besides, he was scolded by everyone before he even said anything, and he didn't want to be scolded to death by the women in front of him.
Soon, the painting was completed.
Mr. Zimmer then threw the brush into the pen holder and hung the painting on the wall on one side.
"This is a painting at the pinnacle of the second realm, Qingfeng Landscape. The auction is now starting. Everyone can bid freely. The base price is 1 million gold coins. Each increase in price cannot be less than 100,000 gold coins."
Having said this, the corners of his mouth raised, Mr. Ji Mo showed a charming smile, waving his fan in the palm of his hand, highlighting his elegant and elegant temperament: "Whoever buys this painting, I can have dinner with her for free!"
"Dinner together? I bought this painting!"
"Don't rob me, I'll offer you 1.1 million!"
"I want to buy Master Ji Mo's paintings for 1.1 million. Are you kidding me? 1.3 million!"
"I'll pay two million!"
…
When they heard about the auction and the free benefits, many women suddenly became excited and their eyes turned red. They made crazy bids one by one. Soon, the price skyrocketed.
"Two million and four hundred thousand?"
Seeing that the price quickly skyrocketed to over two million, Zhang Xuan's eyes widened.
Before, he sold a painting of the fifth realm to Lu Chen, Huang Yu and others for only two million gold coins. This second realm, a painting that couldn't be more rubbish, actually exceeded this price...
It’s so confusing!
"This... painting of the Five Realms of Spirit Transformation, how much does it cost?"
With a depressed look on his face, he couldn't help but turn around and ask the boy next to him.
"Five realms? This is a calligraphy treasure left by a two-star grandmaster realm calligraphy and painting master, and it cannot be painted every time. It requires opportunity and state... This kind of painting, counting here, is a treasure of the town meeting. It can be said...
…priceless!"
The boy in green clothes hesitated for a moment and said.
"Priceless?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Yeah, if I have to set a price, I'm afraid the starting price will be 10 million gold coins. I don't know how much it will rise to in the end. I only know that there was an auction here half a year ago, and the final transaction price was 3,000 gold coins.
Four million gold coins.”
The boy in green clothes.
The corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched, feeling like he was about to cry.
A painting cost more than 34 million gold coins, but he sold four paintings for 2 million...is this a scam?
"The Guild of Calligraphers and Painters has been established in the Royal City for less than thirty years. The prices of paintings have also been increased during this period. Thirty years ago, no one paid attention to it at all. Even Five Realm paintings would probably be worth just a penny.
One or two million." The boy continued: "No matter how high it is, no one will buy it!"
"Thirty years ago, one or two million?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
"Yes!" The boy nodded.
Seeing his confirmation, Zhang Xuan calmed down and felt a little more comfortable.
There is little information about the Tianxuan Kingdom, and there is no guild of calligraphers and painters. It seems that the price quoted by Huang Yu and others was thirty years ago, two million... which is already quite a lot.
"Sir, you want to buy a painting of the Five Realms?" The boy in Tsing Yi looked over in confusion: "Only the president can paint the paintings of the Five Realms. However, the president went out to look for inspiration half a month ago, and he hasn't come back yet..."
"Just asking..."
Holding back his depression, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"That……"
The young man looked over and said: "How about Master... buy Mr. Ji Mo's Qingfeng Landscape Painting! It is the pinnacle of the second realm and is produced by Mr. Ji. It will definitely increase in value in the future!"
"Forget it!" Zhang Xuan shook his head: "I didn't come here to buy paintings...Besides, it's just a second-level painting, I'm not interested!"
"Second realm, that's all? What a big statement!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the boy in green clothes could answer, he heard a cold snort. He looked up and saw Mr. Ji Mo in front of him looking over coldly.
"Well?"
Unexpectedly, what he said was not loud, but was heard by the other party. Zhang Xuan was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I just said it casually, please don't take offense!"
The other party was so exhausted from painting that he was sweating profusely. It was not easy. What he just said was indeed inappropriate.
"Humph, do you think that's all it takes to say please don't take offense?"
Mr. Ji Mo flicked his sleeves and raised his eyebrows: "By interrupting the auction and dismissing my paintings, you are insulting the calligraphy and painting profession and despising a formal calligraphy and painting artist!"
"Then...what do you think we should do?"
He just said it casually and apologized, but the other party actually went to the level of insulting the calligraphy and painting profession and despising the official calligraphy and painting profession. Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
"It's very simple. Five million gold coins, buy my painting!"
Mr. Ji Mo put his hands behind his back and looked over calmly: "Don't worry, I won't take any of the money. I will donate it all to build the calligraphy and painting hall. This will allow you to make up for your fault!"
"Five million gold coins?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
He came over to take a look and said casually that the other party wanted to buy and sell by force. Are you kidding me?
There are so many women here who admire you, just let them buy it...
"What? Don't want to buy it?"
Mr. Ji Mo smiled coldly and waved his palm: "It's okay if you don't buy it. Apologize immediately and don't step into the guild again! Our Calligraphers and Painters Guild does not welcome people like you!"
"Don't even step into the guild?" Zhang Xuan was speechless.
It is true that a good person is bullied by others, and a good horse is ridden by others.
I just said it casually and apologized, but the other party actually refused to forgive me.
"It's okay to apologize, it's okay not to join the Painting and Calligraphy Guild, it's okay to buy it for five million gold coins, provided... the work is worth the price!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head: "Is this something worthy of being painted by just any apprentice?"
(The monthly ticket will soon fall out of the top ten, does anyone still have it?)
