Chapter 828: Selling for a Big Price
If the deal doesn't go through, it's a big misunderstanding and you can close it privately. If the deal is completed, there is conclusive evidence, but can anyone be caught?
Usually the so-called collector who sells fake paintings will call you with only one content and tell you to forget it. Either buy you or threaten you.
The purpose of art exhibitions and galleries is the same, to make money. As long as someone dares to show up the painting and provide some so-called evidence, then the painting will definitely be sold.
Galleries and auction houses have a rule that when you sign a contract, that is, all the nonsense in the legal text, clearly tells you that there is no guarantee of the authenticity of the artwork.
Now, a sketch of the white road is reflected on the screen. Lao Zhao asked him, "Did you really paint it?"
Bai Luen sighed.
Lao Zhao looked at it carefully for a while: "If you are admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, the professional score will definitely be the first." ”
Bai Lu said disdainfully: "Why are you going to take the Academy of Fine Arts? Draw a big girl with a bare ass? I think it's very boring, just find a movie, it's full of women without clothes, press the pause button, how can you draw it?
Zhao Ping almost choked to death in one breath, endured it for a while and said, "You don't understand." ”
Bai Lu continued to disagree: "What do you understand? Now there are 3D movies, just add an effect to be three-dimensional, what can't be painted?"
Zhao Ping was speechless, and changed the subject and asked, "Why did your painting appear here?"
Bai Lu replied: "How do I know the Dao?"
Because it was his own painting, Bai Lu paid attention to the situation in the hall while chatting, starting from the beautiful host's shouting. It always takes more than ten seconds for someone to hold up the sign.
Holding up a sign means adding a thousand. There was no fierce competition, and the sign was held up every now and then, indicating that it was not optimistic about the painting.
Bai Lu was particularly angry: "I don't understand art, I don't understand art." ”
Zhao Ping smiled: "This is your artistic value." ”
Bai Lu was very angry, seeing that no one was willing to buy it at a high price, and the host wasted a lot of nonsense in exchange for a sign. This guy got up suddenly, walked to the front of the rostrum and stood still: "This is what I painted, why don't you shoot it? Is it because I didn't draw it well?"
The people below laughed for a while, and a few people gave a little face, and raised their cards a few more times. But that's about it. The price of this sketch has risen very slowly, which is the result of the appearance of the white road.
Bai Lu was very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy he was, he could only endure it, standing under the stage and looking around. I secretly scolded many people in my heart for having no vision. Damn it or something.
Today. The purpose of Mingchen's arrival was to make this painting, and seeing that the crowd in the venue was getting quieter, he raised his hand and said, "Forty thousand." ”
He was in the field. The number plate was raised, and the host said: "No. 53 painter bid 40,000 yuan, and if there is any other painter who likes this painting, please bid in time." ”
Mingchen's appearance was an accident, and the buyer who had just made the bid raised his sign: "Fifty thousand." He also expressed his determination to get this painting, hoping to scare away everyone.
Bai Lu is not everyone, and neither is Mingchen, he gestured to the front, and the next second, someone came out to help raise the price. Starting from 50,000, the price continued to rise, easily rising to 200,000.
Bai Lu squatted in the corner and sighed: "Where is the appreciation of pictures? ”
Zhao Ping said: "Some people are willing to accompany the fighting spirit, which means that your paintings have a market, at least some people like them." ”
Bai Lu glanced at him: "You are really good at persuading." ”
With the trust arranged by Mingchen, and some people are willing to hold stinky feet, Bai Lu's inexplicable sketch was sold for a high price of 400,000 yuan.
Originally, it was Mingchen's entrustment to bid with that person, but seeing that the auction price exceeded 300,000, the man turned his head and looked back and saw that Mingchen did not move. He put out the thought of continuing to raise the price.
Nursery retreated and left, but someone else joined, from 310,000 to 400,000, and until no one competed with him, he successfully bought the painting.
Is it a joke to buy a sketch for 400,000 yuan, and it is painted by a chef who has nothing to do with the art world?
Everyone in the audience was surprised, and Bai Lu was even more surprised, because he saw who was the person who frequently raised his cards after the price of 300,000 yuan. Not only did he see this person, but he also saw who the person who had been bidding with Mingchen's nursery.
Waiting for the host to make a final decision, Bai Lu didn't say a word, got up and walked out.
Mingchen hurriedly followed: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Ping also stopped: "Wait, my painting hasn't been sold yet." ”
Bai Lu smiled: "I hope you sell it for a good price." "Walked around the side and pushed the door out.
I don't want to see an acquaintance as soon as I go out, the girl in his sketch.
Seeing Bai Lu suddenly appear, the girl was directly stunned, and stopped for a while before coming over to say hello: "Hello." ”
Bai Lu smiled, "What's your name?"
Today is the second time the two have met, and the girl replied: "My name is Liu Ziyan." ”
Bai Lu nodded: "The name is good, that painting sold for 400,000." Bypassing Liu Ziyan and walking out.
Liu Ziyan hurriedly chased after him: "Brother Bai, listen to my explanation." ”
"Explain what?" asked Bai Lu after a pause.
"I really have no way to sell this painting, and it's not that I want to sell it, it's my friend who said that because of your current star status, it is very likely to sell for a lot of money......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Lu: "This is not important. "Keep walking.
Liu Ziyan chased after him and asked, "Are you angry with me?" I apologize to you, I really have no choice. ”
Bai Lu said: "It has nothing to do with you. ”
But the more he said this, the more Liu Ziyan refused to believe it. chased and explained: "I don't sell the painting first, I have no choice, I have to sell." ”
Bai Lu stopped and looked at her: "Senior year of high school, or unemployed?"
Liu Ziyan replied: "Senior year of high school." ”
Bai Lu thought for a while: "Don't tell me that it's because you don't have money, but you want to go to the Academy of Fine Arts, so you will take out the paintings and sell them." ”
Liu Ziyan hesitated for a moment and whispered yes.
Bai Lu smiled: "How do you know that my paintings can be sold for money?"
"I don't know. Liu Ziyan briefly said what happened.
The art academy recruitment is in the spring, and after the Chinese New Year, you can go to various art colleges to take the art exam, and then wait for the results. For example, the Academy of Fine Arts released the list on April 15, and last year's Liu Ziyan did not have a professional score.
She is a single-parent family, but she wants to work hard for her ideals. After getting the professional results, the first reaction is not to study hard, but to find a job to work, earn some money first, and take the exam again next year.
Because of this, she has been to the standard restaurant several times, so Liu Wenqing feels that she is familiar, so she knows Bai Lu.
Failing to find a job, Liu Ziyan went to the street to sketch others, painting five pieces at a time. This girl was lucky enough to be bumped into by Bai Lu, but she was painted with a sketch, which is the painting she is now auctioning.
She didn't want to sell the painting, but her family had no money, and she wanted to go to the Academy of Fine Arts, so she was desperately short of money. I had to find a way to make money. But money is not so easy to make, and it is a failure to think about it.
She wants to go to the Academy of Fine Arts, wants to enter that circle, and will always know three or two people in that circle. There was a man who was a partner in the studio, and after seeing this young, beautiful little girl, he reached out and said that he could get a painting and sell it in the studio.
Regardless of the purpose of the person, that is what happens in the art world. But Liu Ziyan took it seriously, painted seriously, and wanted to sell paintings to make money, but the paintings he painted were always unsatisfactory.
The man said, "It's useless to paint well now, you have to have a selling point, like a self-portrait, or you don't wear clothes, or it has a symbolic meaning, like painting with your virginity......" The guy said a lot of nonsense, and four words are enough to sum it up and be different.
Liu Ziyan's basic skills are average, she wants to be different but doesn't know how to start, and suddenly remembered the sketch that Bai Lu had drawn for her.
The two met at the end of April this year, and since then, Bai Lu has been out of control, continuing to dominate the news space, and has the nickname of White in the headlines. and then accidentally became a movie star, a singer, or even an actor, which is unimaginable.
In a way, Bai Lu will become popular and out of control after seeing Liu Ziyan.
At that time, Bai Lu took care of Liu Ziyan, took the initiative to take care of her business, and talked with her. Liu Ziyan was very moved.
No matter how moved he is, he has to survive, Liu Ziyan forged ahead for his ideals and decided to take out the painting of Bai Lu.
Today's Bai Lu is a big star, and this painting can always be sold for 18,000 yuan to save the emergency.
She told her friend about this, and the friend thought about it and said: "There will be an art exhibition in a few days, which is organized by the Artists Association and many studios, if this painting is really painted by Bailu, I will try to help you send it up, as long as it can be sent to the art exhibition, I may sell it for more money." ”
Liu Ziyan was naturally happy and thanked him repeatedly.
His friend said: "Don't be happy yet, there is a sentence that must be explained first, I will help you send paintings, but it is not obligatory." "It means paid service.
Liu Ziyan guessed that the other party wanted money, and said softly: "You say." ”
His friend said, "Let's do this, no matter how much this painting sells, we will do it for half of each of us?"
Liu Ziyan is a small force and has no right to choose, so she can only agree.
This one-person half is talking about after-tax profits, and the tax must be paid first, and then the exhibition organizer will deduct more than a dozen points of participation fees and handling fees, and the remaining money can be half of the money per person.
But Liu Ziyan didn't think so much, her goal was 5,000 yuan, and it would be best if she could sell it for 15,000. Sell it for 5,000 yuan and give it to the old lady, so that she agrees to fight again. If you can sell it for 15,000, you can earn the tuition fee for the first year of college.
This exhibition is a young painter, and at the same time, it is necessary to make money and be influential, and the organizers need to consider many things.
Suddenly, there is a painting of the star Bai Lu, and he doesn't expect to sell for hundreds of thousands, according to the influence of the star, he will not lose money.
After consideration, the organizers decided to include this painting.
In order to be safe, they did not do publicity, but only hung the paintings in the exhibition hall for everyone to admire, and even provoked.
The organizers were not sure that this painting was painted by Bai Lu, so they did not use Bai Lu's name for publicity. It was hung in the exhibition hall for several days in a row, because it wanted to play a side game, which means that it has been publicized and no one raised objections, and then it will be bought and sold.
In this regard alone, we cannot blame the organizers for profit, or do not investigate in detail, but we can only say that today's calligraphy and painting trading is mostly like this, and fake paintings often appear.
For example, in a large-scale auction of paintings and calligraphy in a certain city in the south, it was unimaginable that 30% of the paintings were fake! (To be continued......)
