This painting is very different in style from Fang Miao's previous figure paintings.
From the front, Miao emphasizes freehand brushwork, mostly using lines to outline the characters, using light colors, and the figures painted are slender and the artistic conception is cold;
The painting in front of me uses meticulous brushwork and heavy color painting, which is extremely realistic. The girl's beautiful oval face, long eyelashes, and glossy red lips are all clearly visible in the painting.
In the painting, the girl turns sideways and looks back, with a pair of crystal clear and affectionate eyes, looking in a certain direction.
And in the direction she was looking, there was a rough outline of a man's back, blurry and dim.
Mu Qian asked Fang Miao to paint this painting based on Ye Xi's photo.
Ye Xi in the painting has clear features and clear expressions, and everyone she knows can be recognized.
However, Mu Qian did not introduce too much about the content of this painting. He just said: "Since this painting was only delivered today, it does not appear in our auction book. Please enjoy it now. We will do it later."
Start bidding again.”
The high-definition cameras in the venue captured the painting from all directions, showing every detail on the big screen.
Because this is Fang Miao's long-awaited new work, many people present took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Under the stage, Lu Tang stared at the painting quietly for a moment, then suddenly reacted and looked at Ye Jinfan, "That...is your sister?"
She had only met Ye Xi once, so she was not sure. When she asked Ye Jinfan for confirmation, Ye Jinfan did not answer her.
He just stared at the painting on the stage, looking at Ye Xi in the painting as if he was right in front of him.
It should have been the birthday party he held for her when she was eighteen, because the skirt she was wearing was given to her by him.
"Who is that man?" Lu Tang asked again, "Is your sister in a relationship?"
Ye Jinfan's eyes fell on the blurry figure of the man, and then returned to Ye Xi's face.
At that time, she often looked at him with that look and expression, happy and excited, but also a little shy.
But since when did she no longer have such a look on her face?
Lu Tang kept talking but couldn't get a response. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He pushed Ye Jinfan and said, "I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?"
Ye Jinfan suddenly turned back to look at her, his eyes as cold as ice.
Lu Tang was suddenly startled and almost lost his temper uncontrollably, but suddenly he remembered the time when Ye Xi's accident happened, Ye Jinfan seemed to be a completely different person.
From that time on, she knew how important Ye Xi, his sister, was to him.
And it took him a long time to finally get over the pain of losing his sister, but now he was suddenly aroused by such emotions on such an occasion——
Lu Tang suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Qian on the stage, directing all his anger towards Mu Qian.
There are so many paintings in the world, why did Mu Qian choose to put this one up for auction?
On the stage, Mu Qian, who was standing next to the painting and carefully studying the painting, suddenly seemed to sense something and turned to look in the direction where they were.
Lu Tang did not expect that she would look over suddenly. He had no time to hide the expression on his face and could only lower his head in a hurry.
However, Mu Qian only glanced at her and then looked at Ye Jinfan.
Ye Jinfan also looked at her, with even the fake smile gone from his face, leaving only cold eyes.
However, Mu Qian was still smiling and even nodded towards him.
After Ye Jinfan looked at her quietly for a moment, he suddenly sneered.
Mu Qian did not look at him again, but turned to look at Huo Jinxi.
Huo Jinxi was listening to Fu Chengyu's words. The moment Mu Qian looked over, he also looked at her.
So Mu Qianshun pointed at the painting next to her, and then raised her eyebrows at him.
The attention of many people present was originally focused on Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian. Although Mu Qian's action was not obvious, it was still noticed by many people.
And this obviously meant that Mu Qian wanted Huo Jinxi to take the picture.
Although this painting was created by Fang Miao, Mu Qian is currently hosting the auction. It is obvious that the ownership is in Mu Qian's hands, and Mu Qian wants Huo Jinxi to take the picture. His purpose is very obvious.
Firstly, the high price of this painting as the finale was due to Mu Qian's pride;
Secondly, Huo Jinxi bought the painting back at a high price as a good deed and to please his wife;
Thirdly, the amount of money raised by this charity auction should also be considerable, and it will gain a good reputation.
Combining several reasons, everyone at the scene knew how the next auction would proceed.
Even Lu Tang saw the clue. He carefully pulled Ye Jinfan's sleeve and said softly: "Mu Qian wants to buy this painting for herself. You can also bid for it later, but don't argue with them."
.”
Ye Jinfan did not answer, but lowered his head and lit another cigarette for himself.
Sure enough, as soon as the bidding started, everyone competed to bid, and before long, the price of the painting had been raised to 20 million.
"30 million." Huo Jinxi raised his hand for the first time.
In an instant, the audience burst into applause, and some even whistled.
Mu Qian stood on the stage with a shy and happy smile on her face.
"30.5 million!"
"31 million!"
"31.5 million!"
The on-site bidding is still going on, because most people know in their hearts that Huo Jinxi is bound to get this painting, and Huo Jinxi will not care about the small amount of money. In fact, the higher the price, the more face Huo Jinxi will have.
Huo Jinxi made his second bid, and the price had risen to 40 million.
Lu Tang had previously called out the price twice like a fuss. Now that the price has reached this level, he naturally won't join in the fun anymore.
Ye Jinfan remained silent throughout the whole process. Just when Lu Tang was about to go over and say something to Ye Jinfan, he saw Ye Jinfan suddenly raise his hand, "41 million."
As soon as the bid came out, everyone was shocked.
In such charity auctions, it is rare for a single auction item to cost more than 10 million yuan. The ruby ring just now cost 3,000 yuan, which is already a sky-high price. And the person who just bid 30 million yuan now continues to bid 40 million yuan, which is really staggering.
.
Lu Tang was also stunned, but no matter what she said, Ye Jinfan just ignored her.
Huo Jinxi naturally had no intention of stopping. Since there were bids, he let the price go up naturally.
Ye Jinfan, on the other hand, also ignored it and seemed to be planning to fight Huo Jinxi to the end.
Seeing that the price exceeded 50 million and was approaching 60 million, Mu Qian stood up.
"Sorry, let me interrupt." Mu Qian chuckled and said, "It can be seen that both of you like this painting very much and are equally determined to get it. It is true that Master Fang Miao's paintings have such value.
, but ours is a charity evening after all, so there is no need to get into a bloody fight. How about you two each explain why you like this painting?"
Soon a staff member handed the microphone to Huo Jinxi. Huo Jinxi just looked at Mu Qian on the stage and said lightly: "My wife likes it."
Cheers and whistles sounded again in the stadium. Mu Qian smiled sweetly and happily, and then looked at Ye Jinfan.
After the audience was quiet, the staff handed the microphone to Ye Jinfan.
Ye Jinfan's expression was also very calm. His eyes fell on the painting, but his eyes were particularly deep.
"The person in the painting is my deceased sister," he said.
As soon as this sentence came out, the whole audience fell into silence.
"I see." Mu Qian sighed slightly and said, "So, this painting must be very important to Mr. Ye?"
Ye Jinfan did not avoid Mu Qian's question, but said: "Yes, it is very important."
"In this case, there is no point for us to continue arguing with Mr. Ye." Mu Qian said, "Let's do this. I announce that Mr. Ye has won this "Girl in Love" with the last bid. In addition, Mr. Huo Jinxi will also
Donate the same amount as the last bid for free as charity. Thank you both for your contribution to charity!"
The audience burst into endless applause again, and for a moment, all the cameras in the venue were focused on Huo Jinxi and Ye Jinfan.
As the "loser" in the competition, Huo Jinxi picked up his wine glass and raised his glass to Mu Qianyuan on the stage with a faint smile.
As the "victory" party, Ye Jinfan had a cold face, dark eyes, and no trace of joy.
