What appeared in front of Lin Zhiming was a painting.
The painting is square and about the same size as a decorative oil painting hanging in an ordinary person's home.
In the middle of this painting is a yellow fist-sized flower.
The reason why he is said to be a thing is because from Lin Zhiming's point of view, he has no idea what it is. It is more like a person who accidentally dropped a piece of cloth dyed with yellow paint on the painting, and then the cloth was
When I picked it up, there was a mark of cloth on the painting.
That's all!
There is nothing else in the whole picture except this lump of yellow.
"This painting comes from our great artist Mr. Millsap. Mr. Millsap has always been the most avant-garde artist. There are not many of his art works in the world. Each one is a treasure, and the one I have in my hand
This painting is a treasure among treasures. After Mr. Millsap completed the creation of this painting, he stopped writing and did not create other works until his death. This work is by Millsap.
The most avant-garde piece of art in your hands!" Wesley introduced to everyone present with a smile and a slightly proud look.
"This painting is really well done! Look at its overall structure. It is located just in the middle, surrounded by irregular color blocks extending outward. It seems to be Mr. Millsap's edges and corners. It's so impressive.
People are shocked!”
"His color matching is also very good. You see it is yellow, but it is actually a little darker than yellow, a bit close to brown. This color matches the white base, it is perfect!"
People around him praised the painting with great sincerity.
Wesley stood there with a smile, looking at the praises of the people around him and feeling extremely satisfied.
"This... is the most shocking piece of art I have ever seen in my life. Mr. Millsap's name is indeed extraordinary!" Auden suddenly walked to the painting and said with a serious face.
"Oh? Auden, do you have any insights?" Wesley asked.
"This painting is extremely superb in terms of painting skills. Look at the lines in his painting. It is impossible for him to draw such lines without decades of oil painting skills. And these are just the basics.
Yes, regardless of the painting skills, the artistic conception of this painting has reached its extreme. In this painting, I saw Mr. Millsap’s pursuit of art and his confrontation with the whole world. I saw a kind of universal love.
Intoxicated with my solitary loneliness, this work is simply the highest expression of avant-garde art! Prince Wesley, thank you for showing me such a work! Thank you also for bringing such a work to our aristocratic circle.
"Come on, this kind of work can only stay in the aristocratic circle. If it is given to ordinary people, they will not be able to feel the beauty and significance of this painting!" Auden said excitedly.
These words made Wesley very happy. He smiled and said, "Auden, you are worthy of being a noble of our corrupt country. Your understanding of artworks is very good!"
"Your Highness, I wonder if you can give me a chance to take this painting home and enjoy it for a few days. The magical thing about this painting is that every time you look at it again, you can gain new insights.
, the way I feel when I look at this painting is completely different from the way I feel just now." Auden said.
"This... is not impossible. Art is the treasure of all our nobles. Since you want to see it, just leave it for a few days." Wesley nodded.
"Your Highness, I also want to take this painting home to view!"
"Your Highness, I also want to..."
Everyone present excitedly made their request to Wesley.
"Okay, okay, we have it, we have it, don't fight!" Wesley said with great relief.
However, among these excited people, Wesley saw a calm person.
That person is Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming crossed his arms and stood motionless. He did not praise the painting like others, nor did he fight to take the painting home. He just stood there, like a tree.
"Mr. Lin!" Wesley shouted, "I wonder what your opinion is on this painting?"
Wesley's words suddenly shifted everyone's attention to Lin Zhiming.
Everyone saw that Lin Zhiming stood motionless, with no expression on his face, as if he had seen something that he could not understand at all.
"Your Highness, Mr. Lin is a warrior. There is a saying in the Dragon Kingdom that with well-developed limbs, the mind is simple. In other words, the more developed the limbs, the simpler the brain. What does Mr. Lin, a warrior, think of things like works of art?
Do you understand?" Auden said with a smile.
He had just lost to Lin Zhiming in the red wine category, and now he had to steal the limelight again when it came to art, so he stepped on Lin Zhiming as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mr. Lin, can't you see the artistic connotation of this painting?" Wesley asked.
Lin Zhiming shook his head.
"Your Highness, I have said before that warriors cannot understand art." Auden said with a smile.
"Hey! It seems that we are not from the same world after all." Wesley sighed and shook his head, seeming a little regretful.
The nobles around also shook their heads. Lin Zhiming had already convinced them about the red wine. They didn't expect that Lin Zhiming would be so embarrassed when it came to art. He couldn't see the connotation of this piece of art. This was really embarrassing.
It's too embarrassing for the nobles.
If a nobleman doesn't even know how to appreciate works of art, then what kind of nobleman can he be called?
Natalie looked a little embarrassed, and she said, "Your Highness, knowing your fate may just be because you can't think of a good way to say it at the moment. After all, what everyone said is too good."
"Can't think of a good word to say? This is impossible. Long Guo's writing is profound and profound. How could he not find something to praise this piece of art? Is it possible that our Mr. Lin has never gone to school and is illiterate?" Auden said in a strange way.
asked.
Many people present laughed. At this time, they had a sense of superiority towards Lin Zhiming, so they found it extremely funny when they heard Oden say this.
This is how people are, when you suddenly feel superior, you will instantly look down on the people you looked up to before.
At this moment, Lin Zhiming made a move.
He took two steps forward, walked to the front of the painting, and stood there, looking straight at the painting.
"Your Highness, how much did you spend on this painting?" Lin Zhiming suddenly asked.
"Eight hundred million dollars." Prince Wesley said.
Eight hundred million dollars?!
Everyone who heard this took a deep breath.
This is a sky-high price! Even for Millsap’s works, the price is a bit high.
When Lin Zhiming heard the price, he was slightly stunned. Then, Lin Zhiming's eyes turned red little by little.
Everyone around looked at Lin Zhiming curiously, wondering what he was going to do.
"Mr. Lin, don't stop us from enjoying the art," Auden said.
Lin Zhiming didn't reply, just stood straight on the spot.
Slowly, tears appeared in Lin Zhiming's eyes.
The tears only blurred Lin Zhiming's eyes at first, and then the tears welled up from his eyes and flowed down Lin Zhiming's cheeks.
This scene left everyone around stunned.
He actually cried!
A super strong man from the Dragon Kingdom shed tears on the spot after seeing Millsap's painting!
Why is this? Did he find resonance in this painting? Or did he think of something?
Lin Zhiming stood there, crying silently and saying nothing.
Prince Wesley was stunned and asked, "Mr. Lin, why are you?"
Lin Zhiming raised his hand to stop Wesley, then looked at the painting in front of him affectionately, remaining silent.
The originally noisy crowd around them gradually quieted down at this time.
Everyone looked at Lin Zhiming and saw Lin Zhiming crying.
Could it be that he saw some sad story in this painting? But why didn’t I see it?
Such doubts appear in many people's minds.
Time passed by, and everyone looked at Lin Zhiming crying.
Auden frowned and was about to say something when suddenly, a sudden round of applause sounded.
Snap, snap, snap!
The applause was very slow, one after another, rhythmic.
Everyone looked around and found that the person applauding was a beauty from the Dragon Kingdom wearing a cheongsam.
This beauty seems to be Lin Zhiming's secretary.
Why was she applauding? Did she also see the mystery in the painting?
But why can't I see it?
No, I can't let people think that I can't see it, otherwise it will be embarrassing!
So, after Ye Shan applauded, someone quickly raised their hands and clapped along with Ye Shan.
"What? There are other nobles applauding? Did he see it? No, I can't see it later than him!"
Someone thought this and then clapped along.
The second, the third, the fourth...
When more people applauded, these nobles were afraid that they would applaud slower than others, so they all applauded together.
In the end, even Prince Wesley applauded, although he didn't know what he was applauding for.
There was warm applause at the scene.
Hearing this applause, Auden was completely stunned.
What is this? Without saying a word, just looking at the painting and crying, and winning applause from the audience?
Damn it, who can’t cry? I can cry too!!
Why are you applauding? I’m applauding your own mother!
Auden felt that ten thousand horses were running past him, but his hands were not slow and he clapped along with everyone else, fearing that if he didn't applaud, others would think he didn't understand the meaning of the painting.
After a long time, Lin Zhiming sighed, and then looked at Wesley.
"Your Highness, thank you." Lin Zhiming said.
"This... no, it's nothing. I have the same idea as you." Prince Wesley smiled stiffly. He was actually in a confused state. He had no idea why Lin Zhiming wanted to thank him, but since Lin Zhiming thanked him
, then just accept it with peace of mind, and add the sentence "I think the same as you", so that at least it can give others an unfathomable feeling.
Lin Zhiming nodded to the people around him, and then walked back to Natalie.
The art appreciation came to a successful conclusion with Lin Zhiming.
