Chapter 589 Thirty thousand for a painting, several hundred for a gadget, earned from royalties
"Director Wang, Screenwriter Lei, teachers, please come in quickly."
He did not forget to greet the students as he spoke. We are all considered acquaintances. Li Anle did not follow the others to be polite. "Baoyu, Daiyu, Miaoyu help me greet everyone. You are welcome and come in quickly. It is hot outside."
I have to say that Li Anle is the most familiar with these people. Others who are relatively familiar include Baochai, Wang Xifeng, and Hou Changrong. This person's skills are not bad. Li Anle has chatted with him a few times and would like to introduce some masters when he has time.
Get to know him.
Although Li Anle is only an amateur when it comes to antiques, there is a lot to play with. He will always know some antique restoration masters. These craftsmen are not bad. Of course, these people know more or less some factories that sell porcelain for export.
Some of the masters in these factories are really good at their craftsmanship, and the imitation porcelain is actually 80% or 90% decent. If these masters were used as props or something, they would be really qualified. Unfortunately, this master is not easy to hire.
Otherwise, Li Anle wouldn't have to go through such trouble. He could just invite the master to attend any appreciation classes. Of course, Li Anle didn't tell anyone about these things, and would invite everyone to come in and rest.
"This place is comparable to the Hall of Rongxi in Jia Mansion."
"Director Wang, you are just looking up to me."
Li An said with a smile. "Compared with the Hall of Rongxi in Dream of Red Mansions, the standards here are a bit worse. After all, Duke Rong Guo is a duke, and I am just a small first-class official, so there is still a gap."
"A first-grade mansion?"
No wonder the regulations are so high. This place is quite suitable for filming. Wang Fulin looked at it and found that it had been renovated and probably cost a lot. This teacher Li was richer than everyone thought.
I'm looking down on people. Originally, the appreciation class was about a few gadgets that might open your eyes. I'm afraid there will be more than just a few gadgets here.
This first-grade mansion alone was enough to open the eyes, and screenwriter Lei couldn't help but come up with an idea. "Teacher Li, I don't know, how many entrances are there to this courtyard?"
"The fifth courtyard."
"not bad."
Li An smiled and said, "I spent a lot of time on this yard."
Just persuading the residents of the Wujin Courtyard to relocate is not a trivial matter. Of course, the money is enough and the problem is not that big. The most important thing to repair is to find some experienced masters and some old-style materials.
These are the most labor-intensive, but there is no way to keep the courtyard as it is. It is necessary to spend more money and put in more effort. It is all worth it. "Everyone has tea." Several servants from Hong Kong came up to serve tea.
She looks like a gentleman or a lady.
"gentlemen."
Everyone was surprised that they all spoke in Cantonese or English. Li An smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Li Anle winked at a few people, these were the people Li Anle was used to on Hong Kong Island.
"You're welcome, everyone."
"How about trying some dim sum? I don't know if it suits everyone's taste."
A few simple refreshments, and then tea. Li Anle didn't know what kind of green tea everyone drank. After all, there were too many people at this meeting. If I had to ask each of them not to mention class, I might be delayed at noon.
"Please help yourself to the tea."
As soon as tea, tea sets and two plates of refreshments were placed on the table, it was impossible for Li Anle to cover everything. The main thing to greet was Wang Fulin and the others. As for the others, it was impossible to take care of them all. It was only Han Rongrong who came from the backyard to help greet a few people.
The eldest brother and An Guang helped greet the actors, which was not rude. Wang Fulin and others had some things to go to the TV station, so Li Anle arranged a car to take them there, and then returned to the living room.
"Everyone must be waiting impatiently."
Without Wang Fulin and the others, the actors were much more relaxed and started talking and laughing one by one. "Teacher Li, please invite us over. Don't just go to class. Everyone is waiting for you to invite us to a restaurant."
"Yes, I didn't eat last night, I was just waiting for this big meal."
"Okay, it will be a feast for sure."
"But before eating, you still need to take this course."
Li An smiled and said, "Let's go to class."
When we came to the appreciation room, it was smaller than the main hall, so it seemed a bit crowded with so many students. "Everyone, sit down first. The space is not big, so don't touch each other."
"Then let's start today's lesson."
Li Anle checked the time. Because he was pressed for time, he didn't have anything to say, so he directly pulled up a shelf. "Everyone, take a look at the items on the shelf."
"Antique porcelain."
"Although this is not as important as food in the Red Mansion, it is still quite important."
Li An smiled and said, "Let's look at everything and learn from each other."
You must know how much knowledge these half-grown children can have. When Li Anle took out items one by one and placed them in front of him and explained their origins, everyone was surprised and curious.
"Teacher Li, are these all true?"
"certainly."
Li An smiled and said, "Everything here is authentic."
"Isn't that expensive?"
"fine."
Li Anle said, "It's not easy to measure it with money."
"How expensive is that?"
Li Anle was a little speechless. This girl is a money-lover who makes hammers. "Let's do this. You choose one and I'll tell you."
"this painting."
"About thirty thousand."
Li Anle took a look and said.
"About thirty thousand?"
"Thirty thousand yuan?"
Don't be ridiculous, you must know that most of these young people are from major theater troupes, and their monthly salary is only forty or fifty yuan, which is not bad. It took them decades of deprivation to buy this painting.
"This is too expensive."
"After all, it belongs to Tang Bohu."
Li Anle said that in a few years, the price will increase exponentially. This is not the best, otherwise the price will be even higher.
"What about this piece of jade?"
"A few hundred dollars."
Li Anle glanced at it. The price of this piece of ancient jade was a little higher. Compared with jade bracelets and the like, it was not necessarily much higher. Of course, it would not be too cheap. After all, the material was good.
"These are all genuine."
"This pair of small bowls alone is worth more than a hundred yuan."
If you bought a pair of Yongzheng's small bowls ten years ago, you might be able to buy a pair in a cultural relics store for more than ten yuan. Now I'm afraid it would cost more than a hundred yuan. In a few years, you might not be able to buy them for more than a hundred yuan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "These ornaments are fairly priced and relatively affordable."
"We can only buy one with a few months' salary. This is not close to the people, right?"
"In ancient times, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were the exclusive property of wealthy and aristocratic families, so it was normal to have high value."
"This is also my original intention of starting this class."
Li Anle said, "You are playing the role of a young master. Miss, you need to know a little bit about these things. After all, you understand that the ornaments are not just ornaments, but mostly status symbols. We only know that Jia Rong borrowed the glazed screen in the book."
Everyone's heads are buzzing. These more than a hundred pieces of antique calligraphy and painting probably cost no less than hundreds of thousands of yuan. Teacher Li is too rich, and there is this courtyard. Aren't there no landlords and old wealth these days? This is in front of you.
It's not cleaned.
"Why, do you still have questions?"
Seeing everyone looking at him strangely, Li Anle was a little confused. "You are the boldest, you tell me."
"I'm not."
When Chen Xiaoxu saw Li Anle nodding at him, he muttered, but still stood up.
"Say it."
"Teacher Li, how come you have such things?"
"I bought it."
Li An smiled and said, "I am a small farmer. Apart from buying, how can I inherit it?"
"bought?"
You have already said that you are a farmer, where does the money come from? Not to mention Chen Xiaoxu and others also murmured secretly.
"Do you want to ask where I got the money?"
"Can I tell you?"
Not to mention that this girl is really bright, well, she is really a bit obsessed with money, Li Anle said with a smile. "I remember when I introduced myself last time, I said that I am a part-time writer, and these things are all bought with my royalties."
"I don't believe the royalties are so high."
Chen Xiaoxu had a reason not to believe it. He had an uncle who was a writer. In fact, her role as Lin Daiyu was more or less recommended by this uncle. Although the manuscript fee was quite high, it was not as much as Li Anle said.
Domestic royalties may be in the hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, but no matter how much it is, it will be really difficult. There is no sales share at this time, just a one-time royalties. As for adaptations, there are not many. All major film studios are state-owned enterprises.
But the price won't be high.
A few hundred or even a thousand is not bad, but I am afraid that this amount of money is not even enough to buy this painting by Li Anle, so everyone should be doubtful.
"It's a long story."
"Everyone will know about this sooner or later. It's getting late."
Li An smiled and said, "Some students haven't eaten since last night, so let's eat first."
"Having a restaurant?"
"Teacher Li, we are joking."
With so many people going to the restaurant, even hundreds of dollars would not be enough. Everyone was joking, but if Li Anle really wanted to invite him to the restaurant, let alone others, Chen Xiaoxu, the instigator, would have to stop him.
"Just go to a restaurant and forget about it."
Li Anle said with a smile. "With so many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a place. Let's just have a simple meal at my house."
"Ouyang, you will serve everyone later."
Li An smiled and said, "I heard that the news about the treat came from your mouth."
"It's unjust."
Just when Ouyang Baobao was about to explain, Chen Xiaoxu glanced at him. Ouyang Baobao nodded helplessly with a grimace. "Teacher Li, I will serve everyone well."
"Let's all eat more later."
Life in the garden is not going to be too good. After all, for the sake of body shape, it is not a bad thing not to do weight loss meals. Moreover, the crew does not have much money, and everyone has a mediocre diet. If they want to eat meat, it is like celebrating the New Year.
"I don't have such a big restaurant here, let's eat in the living room."
The main hall has been set up here. The tables and chairs have been placed before. Now the dining tables are arranged in rows, the dishes have been set, and several servants are already waiting nearby.
"gentlemen."
"Aunt Qin, thank you for your hard work."
"Sir, you are too polite."
Li Anle glanced at the menu. The dishes were quite good. Most of them were meat and fish. There were tongs and spoons placed next to the thermal insulation stove. It was somewhat like a buffet in later generations.
"uncle."
Lingling and Doudou, two young adults, each carried a plate. "Why didn't you get the food?"
"Doudou said to wait for uncle and aunt."
"So good."
Li Anle said with a smile. After speaking, Ouyang and the others also walked in and looked at the two rows of dining tables, a little confused. "Lingling, Doudou." When Lingling and Doudou started to pick up the dishes, and the dining stoves were opened one by one, everyone knew.
Here are the dishes.
Along with the two children, they browsed the dining table, including hot dishes, cold dishes, soups, fruits, and snacks. They were really dumbfounded.
"Is this a buffet?"
"buffet?"
Many people had not heard of it. When the explanation was clear, everyone took a deep breath. "It's so luxurious."
"Teacher Li, aren't you really a wealthy landlord?"
"It doesn't matter so much."
This guy is so delicious, why should anyone care so much? Ouyang and Chen Xiaoxu felt a little guilty, how much money would it cost? They dug this hole.
"What, you don't like it?"
"no no."
Chen Xiaoxu felt a little guilty, let alone Ouyang Baobao, and ran away immediately when Li Anle asked about it.
