Chapter 827: Selling Paintings
Zhao Ping was a little surprised: "You also painted?"
"What do you call me? I have always been the holy hand in the painting, the peak of the peak, and the target of your admiration......" Bai Lu wanted to continue blowing, but Ding Ding pinched him violently and whispered, "Can you not be ashamed?"
Bai Lu lowered his mouth: "You are so fierce, you will not be able to get married." β
In view of the fact that Bai Lu's speech has never been scored, Zhao Ping shook his head and began to look left and right.
This guy is a celebrity in the calligraphy and painting industry, and when he saw an acquaintance, he raised his hand to say hello from a distance. There was another woman, as if Zhao Ping had just seen Bai Lu, she came over and sat next to Zhao Ping to talk.
When he found that Zhao Ping was surrounded by three stars, he got up and said hello with a smile.
The woman is twenty-six or seventeen years old, with long hair hanging down and a round face, looking quiet and elegant. Bai Lu nodded at her: "Be careful, don't be deceived by Lao Zhao." β
The woman was stunned for a moment and said, "You're so funny." Lao Zhao was helpless for a moment and said, "You are such a bastard." β
After scolding Bai Lu, Lao Zhao concentrated on talking to the women around him, and he was also a painter and a student of Lao Zhao.
About a quarter of an hour later, a host came to the stage, smiled and said a few words, to the effect that the auction of a certain art exhibition began.
This is an art exhibition bidding, which is different from the usual auctions, and it is also different from the usual art exhibitions.
The auction requires a deposit, and the time limit after the auction must be paid in full, and the auction also has requirements.
In general, the format of an art exhibition is similar to that of a car show, lasting three or five days, where all the items sold are placed in the exhibition hall and everyone wanders around to look at them, regardless of whether the paintings are marked with a price or not. Most of them can be purchased on the spot, and some art exhibitions can be taken away on the spot. If you want to leave the painting in a large-scale art exhibition, you don't have to pay the full amount, and you will make up the balance at the end of the exhibition and take the painting at the same time.
In short, the format of the exhibition is rather casual. Auctions like today's are even more casual.
Auction books will be sent to bidders, which are not available here. A few days before the exhibition, you will be able to enjoy it, find the paintings you like, and wait for the auction to be grabbed.
From a profit point of view, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Just one thing. It's easy to get angry when bidding. If you compete for me, the price will naturally go up.
The disadvantage is that there are many people who visit the art exhibition, and buying a painting is a whim, and seeing the painting is good. Of course I want to buy it.
But if you don't sell it. Visitors may forget about it when they return home.
General. Dare to engage in art exhibition bidding, among which there must be some well-known works by well-known painters, such as painters like Zhao Ping. Otherwise, if it doesn't attract buyers, who will spend money?
The host on the stage said a few words to open, and the auction began.
Unlike auctions, there is no auctioneer, and the host is in charge. Laughing and chanting read out the first painting, the painting appeared on the big screen behind her.
The rest of the thing is to bid, there are many paintings with a lot of money, the lowest is 3,000 yuan, the highest is 150,000 yuan, and different reserve prices are set according to the author's fame.
The opening work can't be auctioned with a reserve price of 3,000 yuan, and it will be very shameless. It is said to be a famous painter who painted ink paintings, and the price starts at 30,000 yuan.
Why is it said that it is said? Because Bai Lu, Mingchen and others have never heard of this name. Although Lao Zhao knew this person, his facial expression was with a hint of disdain.
Bai Lu said: "You're not right, they're all peers, how can you look like this?"
Zhao Ping said depressedly: "You don't look at the painting, why do you look at me?"
The host on the stage helped the painter blow the cowhide for a while, and blew a few more paintings, so that everyone could bid enthusiastically. As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately raised a sign: "Fifty thousand." "It was as if he was determined to win, and he didn't increase the price according to the minimum bid.
It is estimated that the performance is too fierce, this guy shouted, and no one raised a sign behind him.
The biggest difference between the host and the auctioneer is that he can laugh, he can make the atmosphere a little more harmonious, laugh and chat a few words, even the first time, the second time those nonsense are also said with a smile, stop for a few seconds, walk back to the table and pick up the small hammer: "After the most reluctance, remind all painting friends once, 50,000 for the third time, I am going to drop the hammer." β
The reminder is useless, the small hammer is rattling, and there are staff members to check the information with the buyer.
The host laughed and teased, and the auction continued.
After shooting a few works in a flash, an oil painting with a reserve price of 3,000 yuan suddenly appeared.
Bai Lu was very happy: "Do you see it, three thousand yuan." β
Zhao Ping was a little puzzled: "Yours?"
"Of course not! how can my masterpiece be so cheap?"
Zhao Ping understood that this guy was looking for every opportunity to brag for himself. It's just that I don't pay attention to that idiot.
What is more surprising is that the 3,000-yuan painting was auctioned for 30,000 yuan, and there are still three people competing.
Bai Lu was curious: "What's going on?"
was despised by Zhao Ping: "Rare and strange." β
In the next moment, this oil painting easily rose to 50,000 yuan, which is already the most expensive work sold at present. But the three people in front are still snapping pictures.
Bai Lu said: "This is not scientific. β
Zhao Ping said: "Your paintings can also participate in art exhibitions, which is really unscientific." β
Bai Lu said, "You are jealous of me. β
"I'm jealous of your head, this exhibition is held by six universities, eight studios, and people from the Art Association, the main purpose is to encourage young painters and flourish in the development of art, you tell me, which unit are you from, and you can also send paintings in?"
Bai Lu thought about it carefully: "Recently, an old association asked me to join, but I didn't expect the Artists Association to have such a vision, I am very pleased." β
"There is a shameless association, you must be the president. At this time, Lao Zhao did not have the surprise when he saw Bai Lu at all.
Bai Lu criticized with a straight face: "How can you humiliate people? You are a painter, you are a well-known painter, brackets, although I don't know how to do it, the brackets are over, but your attitude is very wrong...... Ah. β
Ding Ding really couldn't listen to it, probably felt very tired to pinch with his hands, and grabbed Bai Lu's hand is a mouthful.
Lao Zhao was very happy and encouraged: "Bite him to death." β
The woman on the side was a little dumbfounded, Teacher Zhao was a little different from before. Bai Xing and Ding Ding seem to have a situation? Looking at Mingchen again, that guy covered his face and rubbed down, as if he felt ashamed?
It looks like it's really lively today.
They were messing around below, the auction on the stage continued, and the painting, which had already been called 50,000, was still raising the price, and now it was 58,000.
Zhao Ping snorted: "That's the painting in the studio?"
The woman next to her replied that she couldn't say clearly.
After fifteen more minutes, the painting sold for 100,000 yuan.
Lao Zhao said with a calm face: "Stir-fry." β
Bai Lu said: "It's too pointless to fry here." β
Zhao Ping gave him an analysis: " This exhibition has been reported by seven TV stations, at least a dozen local newspapers or professional magazines have been promoted, although outsiders are not clear, but in the industry, this event is not bad, they first raise the price of the painting here, no matter who makes the money, the identity of the painter will be raised, the road has to go step by step, first make a name for yourself in a small area, raise the price of the painting to a standard, 100,000 is just right, for most people most of the works, 100,000 is a lot, for well-known painters, 100,000 is the starting price, this price is a watershed, just to lift the newcomer, but not too exaggerated and annoyingγ β
"It's fake. Bai Lu smiled and patted Mingchen on the shoulder: "Eh, you go along." β
Mingchen grimaced and didn't speak. This bastard's greatest skill is to always mess around regardless of place and place.
Is it expensive to buy a young artist's work for 100,000 yuan? Isn't it expensive? But the price is really cool, and it pushes the atmosphere of the venue to a high place.
Next, Shiroro's painting comes on.
Looking at the thin girl on the screen, Bai Lu sighed lightly, this girl has some ability, and she can actually send the painting here to sell.
The host looked at the information in his hand and began to introduce the painting: "This is a well-known movie star and a painting by a well-known chef Bai Lu, I really didn't expect that Bai Lu not only sings well, acts well, and paints so well, just from this sketch, the painting is really good, there are masters who have seen this painting, there is no superfluous stroke in the whole painting, and there is no hesitation or need to make up the painting, each stroke is just right, it is a particularly perfect sketch." β
At this point, he paused, turned to look at the picture on the screen, and said, "Bidding begins." β
It's okay to buy paintings, but there is a question, what if you buy a fake painting? This is the most interesting thing in the domestic painting and calligraphy market.
For example, the painting of Bai Lu, no one has ever asked me whether it is true or false, so he can openly sell it.
Another example is Zhao Ping, as one of the well-known painters in China, he can sell a painting for more than 100,000 yuan, but he has seen his fake paintings.
Let's not talk about the calligraphy and painting market, there are fakes everywhere, and if you want to pan for gold in it, you will fall into it even if you are a cowhide. Let's just talk about the auction market, all the objects that can be put up for auction must be appraised by the authoritative department.
What about the appraisal after the appraisal? The auction company and the appraisal experts who have spent a lot of effort are adamant that the artwork you have auctioned is genuine.
This is one of the most interesting things in the world, you are an expert, and you still have to make money by deceiving people? The domestic auction market is very bad, and this is also one of the main reasons.
The calligraphy and painting market is the same, as long as you dare to mark your name, as long as no one comes to expose you, then your painting is genuine.
Many well-known calligraphers and painters in China have encountered this situation, looking at the seal image, the handwriting image, and the painting style are also similar, but they have no impression.
Speaking of Zhao Ping, there have been several similar situations, with his works at auctions, reported on television, and newspapers even published the painting in its entirety. But after Zhao Ping saw the painting, he knew that Lu Dao was not painted by himself, but he couldn't help it.
A painting sells for hundreds of thousands, and how many painters are willing to say that the painting is fake? Hundreds of thousands, that is a symbol of your worth, representing the value of your existence.
In this case, if you say that the painting is fake, how much can your original work sell for? Is it true that someone buys it? Some painters prefer to pretend that they don't know what to do in order to maintain this price and to maintain their own value.
Taking a step back, Zhao Ping found out that the works in the auction were fake, and called the police, hoping to deal with them impartially, but what should be done? From the moment you call the police, the person who sold the painting disappeared. (To be continued......)
