Zhao Mingyang and Wang Qi went out in a car, and the driver drove them to the largest art museum in Shanghai.
Zhao Mingyang wore a black sports cap, a pair of glasses and a mask, and a black sportswear with a pair of white sneakers. Wang Qi also wore the same suit.
Zhao Mingyang got rid of all the paparazzi who could follow Wang Qi, so Zhao Mingyang dared to take Wang Qi out on the street.
Zhao Mingyang brought Wang Qi to this exhibition hall to participate in an art exhibition. Anyone who comes here today cannot enter without an invitation letter. They have all made reservations in advance. Of course, if the relationship is strong enough, there is no such thing as reservation.
Wang Qi didn't know why Zhao Mingyang brought her here. She took Zhao Mingyang's arm and followed him closely. At this moment, she felt very happy. After all, her only real boyfriend was Zhao Mingyang, and she had been with Zhao Mingyang since she first fell in love.
, Zhao Mingyang seemed to be omnipotent, so Wang Qi developed a strong sense of dependence and admiration for Zhao Mingyang.
The painting exhibition is on the fourth floor of the art museum, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters. There are as many as a thousand paintings on display today.
There is an introduction next to each painting, including the author of the painting, the name of the painting, the artistic conception expressed by the painting, etc.
There is also the price tag. The prices for the paintings here are ridiculously expensive. Basically, a painting starts at RMB 100,000. Many of the paintings are paintings by well-known painters. This place is like a large painting shopping mall. All the paintings are
For sale.
Some paintings are priced in the tens or even millions. Of course, those worth tens of millions are rarely sold here. They are either privately traded or sold at auction houses.
Zhao Mingyang asked Wang Qi to see for himself. If there is anything he likes, he should learn to appreciate these paintings, including film exhibitions. Wang Qi should also go and see more. If he likes it, buy it. Don't care about money.
What we look at is the style, which is the style favored by high-end people at the moment. Zhao Mingyang comes here to see the trend, and to buy paintings.
Ordinary people may not be able to accept the aesthetics of many high-end products, because they are not for ordinary people to see at all. For example, some designs have some styles added to them. Ordinary people don't care about the style. If it looks good, it looks good. If it doesn't, it doesn't look good.
What I don't like is ugly.
Therefore, the design of many luxury goods will make people wonder why this style is used, because this style must be popular in high-end circles during this period.
High-end products are all designed for the preferences of the rich, and the preferences of the rich eventually become the preferences of the public, because other manufacturers will follow the luxury design and learn from it. To put it bluntly, it is plagiarism.
If you know how to match clothes, you can know what style you like and what style suits you. When someone asks you where you bought this dress, you can casually say, "I like XX style, so I bought this dress instead of this one."
You only buy the clothes if they look good.
Most people dress randomly and follow the crowd. If you say something like this at this time, although it is very pretentious, others will know that you know how to match your own style of clothes, and they will think that you know how to dress.
…
There are many paintings here, but Zhao Mingyang’s target is the work of a new artist. All the works of this artist are very abstract, and the price is 100,000 for a painting. Generally, this kind of new artist will produce a series. After all,
High yield.
Zhao Mingyang looked at a wall near the corner, called the staff, pointed to a wall, and told the staff that he wanted everything on this wall.
The staff were not surprised at all. After all, they were accustomed to this situation. There were a total of twelve paintings, totaling 1.2 million, and Zhao Mingyang bought them all with his credit card.
Wang Qi walked over and looked at these paintings and asked curiously: "Do you like these?"
"No, it's not that I like it, but that you like it. Do you understand? I bought these paintings for you. You can take pictures and share them on social platforms. Tell everyone about your latest collection. If you like this painter, I will write the copy.
I've written it for you, and you can just follow the instructions when the time comes.
Not only you, but other artists in our company also want to buy these paintings. To put it simply, you have to help him promote it. He is a painter trained by me. Do you understand? I can also improve your artistic flavor." Zhao Mingyang hugged Wang Qi.
Said the waist.
"I understand." Wang Qi looked at the name next to the painting, Takahashi Higashi Ken? R himself? R's painter? I've never heard of this name.
This painter is the trendy brand store owner that Zhao Mingyang met on the streets of Rben a few years ago. He is a very unique fashion designer. Zhao Mingyang asked him to paint, and he has produced works in a few years.
His works tend to be abstract, and he is also a new painter. After all, he has crossed over into other fields, but Zhao Mingyang wants to hype up his paintings.
It is cheap to buy one of his paintings for 100,000 yuan, and then the price will be 1 million, and after that it will be tens of millions.
Zhao Mingyang has bought foreign media notices to promote that Takahashi Higashi Ken's paintings were snapped up at high prices, causing the value of his paintings to increase.
This is a huge profit industry. As long as Zhao Mingyang can hype up his paintings, he can do joint signings in the future. More importantly, Zhao Mingyang can hoard his paintings and release them one by one. Now he can buy them for 100,000.
In the future, one million to ten million will be released one by one.
This can be passed down to future generations and is an intangible asset. Of course, Zhao Mingyang can also give these paintings to others, which is equivalent to giving money, but only Zhao Mingyang knows the actual value.
As long as the value of this thing is recognized by the market, it will become a currency in circulation.
For example, if some wine is so expensive, it is no longer wine, but currency in circulation.
Takahashi Higashi Ken has officially made his debut, and Zhao Mingyang wants to make him an artist, a contemporary artist, a living artist, and make him an artist worth billions.
All the works Takahashi Higashi has created so far have been accepted by Zhao Mingyang. He has basically exhausted his talent in the past few years. It will be difficult to create anything after that.
Moreover, Takahashi Higashi Ken still has a contract with Zhao Mingyang, and there is no way to escape from this. If he wants to terminate the contract, the fee will be sky-high.
All the copyrights of Takahashi Token also belong to Zhao Mingyang, and he will get nothing less from him. Takahashi Token also knows why he is popular and who is behind it, so he will not offend Zhao Mingyang easily.
After all, he is no longer a young man. Takahashi Dongjian knows that Zhao Mingyang can lift him up and step him down. The best way is to listen to Zhao Mingyang's arrangements. Zhao Mingyang does not interfere with him and gives him very good things.
A good creative environment and living security are enough.
Wang Qi accompanied Zhao Mingyang to look at other paintings. Wang Qi was interested in a sunflower painting worth 300,000 yuan. It was a painting by a relatively famous painter. Zhao Mingyang bought it and gave it to Wang Qi.
Takahashi Token could not actually participate in an exhibition in a venue like this, but Zhao Mingyang had the money and directly allowed his paintings to be exhibited in large-scale art exhibitions around the world, and bought his paintings at high prices with different buyer identities.
This time there are 100,000 paintings and 1.2 million paintings in a series. The next exhibition will be 500,000 paintings, and the next time it will be 1 million paintings.
"This wall was also packed for me." Zhao Mingyang pointed at a wall and said.
Wang Qi was puzzled. This wall was full of landscape paintings, and the price was not cheap. Each painting cost more than 300,000 yuan. There were three paintings in total. Could this be the painter Zhao Mingyang wanted to promote?
Zhao Mingyang didn't tell Wang Qi about this anymore. This was a list given to Zhao Mingyang by Cai Qimin. It was a painting by an old gentleman. The old gentleman had always loved painting and had been painting all his life, but he had never been famous.
Moreover, the price of paintings has always been high, and now it is even lower. Previously, a painting was listed for 500,000 yuan. The old man always felt that others did not know the goods and did not know how to appreciate his paintings.
Now Zhao Mingyang bought it, not for anything else, but because the old man has a good son-in-law. His son-in-law brought this to the exhibition, and the old man was also present. Because the old man’s son-in-law has been rising steadily in recent years, Cai Qimin wants to and
He walked closer and asked Zhao Mingyang to come over and buy paintings.
"Do you like this painting?" An old man's voice came from behind Zhao Mingyang.
Zhao Mingyang turned around and saw an 80-year-old man with a cane walking over and asking, supported by a woman.
"I like it. These three paintings are a group. They depict mountains and rivers, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the changes in the four seasons. I like this painting style of flowing clouds and flowing water, and I feel an endless sense of painting. Coupled with the sharp contrast of colors,
It gives people a visual impact. Most importantly, I like the flexibility of this painting, and every part is lifelike.
There is also the core of this painting, which has artistic conception. If you look at the mountains and rivers here, the mountains are mountains, but they are not mountains. The reflection on the water surface is another painting, a painting within a painting, and the water surface is
If you look at the reflection from the other side, does it look like a city, a city floating on the water, a city on the sea? Do the fish and shrimps in the water look like the residents of this city?
And in this forest, every tree is different, every bird on the tree has a different expression, and the stones in this painting are all strange and strange. This painting is really good, I like it very much.
Especially the fallen leaves, when viewed from a distance, it really looks like a fallen leaf falling slowly, giving it a sense of layering..."
Zhao Mingyang flattered him wildly. He heard from Cai Qimin that this old man was evil. He refused to sell the painting to someone before, saying that the person did not understand painting, so Cai Qimin secretly sent Zhao Mingyang the original of the painting. Zhao Mingyang studied it and concluded the flattery.
I said it after the shooting method.
Zhao Mingyang's words made the old man feel very comfortable. In fact, this was really flattering, because the paintings drawn by this old man were really not amazing. Why didn't the people before him feel as good as flattering him?
Because the people who bought paintings before were too professional, and they flattered me in terms of color tone, painting style, etc. Do I need to take pictures of that?
Zhao Mingyang was straightforward, what you see is what you get. Of course, many professionals could see some things here at a glance, but they all thought it was complicated, thinking that the old man would not like to hear such superficial expressions and praises.
The paintings painted by this old man are very ordinary, and he also pretends to be clever and hides mysteries. The mountain shadows reflected in the water are problematic at first sight.
But many people think this is not worth mentioning, and the appearance of the bird in the tree cannot be exactly the same in the original painting. It is meaningless to brag about it.
And the fallen leaves. At first glance, it seems that I want to highlight the moment of falling leaves. I draw a fallen leaf at a distance from each part, and finally fall to the ground. This painting method is really boring. The expression is too intuitive, but it makes professionals not to do it.
These.
That's what Zhao Mingyang was bragging about. This old man is obviously the kind of person who thinks very highly of himself and can't tell how much he weighs. Otherwise, how else would he dare to sell his paintings for five hundred thousand?
He wanted to be famous and talented. He had bought this painting a long time ago. The price was reduced from 500,000 to 300,000. He probably thought it was too expensive. Some people wanted to buy it and couldn't afford it. Later, her son-in-law became more capable.
, so I arranged for someone to come over and make the old man happy.
The old man got up and felt that he couldn't sell it easily. If he wanted to sell it to someone who understood his paintings, he would be showing off. If there were buyers willing to buy his paintings, it would give him even more confidence.
People who don't know the skill really can't flatter someone like this, and people who know the skill won't flatter someone like this. Only half-hearted people like Zhao Mingyang know how to flatter someone who doesn't know how to flatter someone.
Not everyone who has been in a profession for a long time must be very good. In the end, art depends on talent, and hard work only keeps talent alive. This old man has good painting skills at best, but his talent is average, and his paintings are only average in the market.
A painting costs one to two thousand, or up to five thousand, but no one may buy it.
But it’s not his fault that he doesn’t know enough about himself. This is a common problem among people working in the art industry. It’s like literati who look down on each other and think they are the best.
Some people wake up early and recognize the upper limit of their talents, while some people realize it late and always feel that their talents are not appreciated.
There are so many unappreciated talents in this world, most of them are just mediocre and incompetent.
Especially in this era of rapid development of the Internet, there is basically no such thing as neglecting talents. If you start a live broadcast, as long as you have talent, you will be noticed instantly.
If you often participate in this kind of art exhibitions, it would be even more difficult, but this old man is quite stubborn.
The son-in-law also wants to make the old man happy. In fact, he just wants to help the old man achieve recognition from others, prove that his paintings are valuable, fulfill one of his obsessions, and prove that his lifelong persistence has not been in vain.
When God leaves, he leaves without regrets.
Zhao Mingyang's simple and direct flattery was exactly what the old man needed. He wanted people to say Zhao Mingyang's direct words, but no one said it because the more professional people were, the harder it was to say it, thinking that it was nothing.
important.
"You know how to paint, this is my painting." The old man said with pride.
Zhao Mingyang took off his mask, hat and sunglasses to show respect and said: "I'm glad to meet you. I didn't expect to see the author himself. I really like this painting, sir. Do you have any other paintings? I thought.
Collect a few."
The old man raised his head and said with a strong voice: "No more. I will only paint these three paintings in my life. I hope you keep them well. These are my special skills."
When Zhao Mingyang heard this, he thought that this good guy was pretending. It seemed that he was on the same level as Qi Baishi and Da Vinci. He only did one thing in his life. He was even higher than those two people. He only painted this in his life.
Three paintings, this is out of print.
"It's a pity that my husband only painted these three paintings, but I got lucky and received an out-of-print painting."
"Hahaha~ You are destined to this painting, see you in the world!" The old man turned and left, and the woman helped him leave. He probably went back to brag about it with his family, relatives and friends. Men love to show off until they die.
Zhao Mingyang put on his mask, glasses and hat again, picked up his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to Cai Qimin, who was telling the old man's son-in-law the information.
As for these three paintings, Zhao Mingyang had no intention of asking for them, so he donated them to Fuda. This style has come up again, and the old man has boasted a lot. But he probably has to go to Fuda three times a day to see his masterpieces.
, he brags to everyone that his paintings have been collected by Fuda.
Cai Qimin thought the same way, so that the old man's son-in-law could remember Cai Qimin's favor.
Isn't that what society is all about? When we help each other, we are most afraid of those who don't know how to measure.
For example, Hao Ren was very worried at this moment. He called Zhao Mingyang. Zhao Mingyang took out a card and handed it to the staff to pay the bill and left. He arranged for a car to come and transport the paintings.
Go to a villa where Zhao Mingyang collects things.
"Mingyang, are you busy?" Hao Ren said.
Zhao Mingyang got into the car and took out a bottle of water from the car refrigerator. Wang Qi unscrewed the bottle cap for him. Zhao Mingyang took the water bottle and took a sip of water and said, "I'm not busy. Tell me, what's the matter?"
