1863 Severe traffic jams
The car did not take the main road, but went around a long way to come to an inconspicuous building, Xiao Zhang took Li Keren and Wang Baoyu to a hall that had already been arranged, several hostesses waited there, nodded with a smile and said hello, and pinned a small red flower with the word VIP on Li Keren and Wang Baoyu's chest.
The exhibition hall of thousands of meters looks empty, and Li Keren's paintings are displayed on the wall one by one, separated by a glass wall outside, and there are searchlights, which seem to have doubled in value immediately.
The two of them circled around the hall and admired, Li Ke's heart was surging, and after so many years of hard work, he finally ushered in a turning point in his artistic career.
After wandering around for a long time, Wang Baoyu looked out of the door from time to time, there were very few pedestrians and vehicles passing by, and he sat on the sofa in the middle of the hall for a long time, but still no one came, and his heart beat a drum again. Wouldn't that be pointless?
waited until half past nine, but the curious people nearby took a few glances at the door with their children in their arms, and left without interest when they saw that it was an art exhibition.
There was still no one to buy the paintings, not even to ask for a price. Only those few hostesses still stood with their waists straight, Wang Baoyu stood at the door with his hands behind his back, and when he saw that the street here was so secluded, he couldn't help but start to be discouraged again.
"Kid, what are you wandering around, come and take pictures for me." Fortunately, Li Keren was quite calm, and she took a camera to take pictures of the works in the exhibition again, probably thinking that it would be better to leave a souvenir.
"Eldest sister, why don't you come to such a big place in the capital?" Wang Baoyu was a little breathless.
"Hey, you, you don't understand the embarrassment of an artist at all. Many people go to the provincial capital, or even abroad to hold art exhibitions, and a single painting cannot be sold, but a lot of them are sent out. Li Keren sighed.
"If you don't sell for money, you still have a fart art exhibition?" Wang Baoyu was very puzzled.
"When you spend money to put gold on your face, when you print albums or leaflets in the future, there are things that can be displayed." Li Keren explained and took pictures.
"It's not like we're coming, no, I have to ask." Wang Baoyu couldn't help but call Commissioner Li: "Commissioner Li, has anyone come to see the exhibition?" ”
"What's the hurry? The traffic jam in the capital is very serious, just wait! Commissioner Li said.
"Can it be blocked for more than an hour?" Wang Baoyu asked uneasily.
"It's been blocked for half a day, and it's been notified in advance, you guys should get ready first, and you should be able to arrive at about ten o'clock." Commissioner Li gave Wang Baoyu a reassurance.
"Hehe, I'm just asking, not in a hurry." Wang Baoyu led the donkey downhill, and his heart was a lot more steady. Sure enough, after waiting for another half an hour, a limousine drove over and stopped at the door, and a middle-aged man got out of the car, wearing a neat suit and no messy hair, and slowly walked up the steps.
"Hello, welcome to Ms. Li Keren's art exhibition." Wang Baoyu hurriedly greeted him.
"Are you Teacher Li Keren's agent?" The man looked Wang Baoyu up and down and asked.
"Yes! My name is Wang Baoyu. Wang Baoyu smiled, thinking in his heart how to fool this man into buying a painting, even if it was one, at least he had to return to his roots. Now that you're here, it's not the goal to go home empty-handed.
The man handed over a business card, yellow, fuck, Wang Baoyu knew that he had met the God of Wealth in his hand, and it turned out to be gold, only to see that it was written: Han Suiyuan, general manager of Yi Xingchen Art Auction Company.
"Mr. Han, I'm glad to meet you!" Wang Baoyu hurriedly shushed.
"Xiao Wang, I was entrusted to preside over this exhibition, and please cooperate with ***!" Han Suiyuan said.
"No problem, you can do whatever you say." Wang Baoyu said, a little disappointed in his heart, and he didn't buy a painting.
Han Suiyuan followed Wang Baoyu into the hall, found Li Keren, and handed over a gold business card, although Li Keren was arrogant, he was more expert than Wang Baoyu in art, she said excitedly: "Mr. Han, why did you alarm you." ”
"***, don't worry, I will definitely host this event and never let you down." Han Suiyuan seemed a little scared.
"Eldest sister, does he have some background?" Wang Baoyu asked Li Keren in a low voice.
"Kid, this is the largest auction company in the capital, with an annual turnover of tens of billions!" Li Ke is humane.
I didn't expect it to be so big, Wang Baoyu suddenly respected Han Suiyuan, Han Suiyuan went to the stage to test the microphone, and took out the small hammer used in the auction, with a serious expression and a very stylish expression.
Being able to let the CEO of the largest art auction company personally preside over it, Wang Baoyu was immediately impressed by Commissioner Li, the power of national security should not be underestimated, and the privileges in his hands were enough for them to call for wind and rain.
Just after ten o'clock, a good car appeared at the door of the exhibition hall, first came in a group of old people, all gray-haired, a few people even need someone to help them to walk, Wang Baoyu of course did not know which temple they came from, but Li Keren was extremely excited to greet the past, very modest to distribute business cards.
Most of these old people also knew Han Suiyuan, and everyone greeted each other, which was very lively. When encountering an unfamiliar point, Han Suiyuan issued a white business card, which should be silver.
Wang Baoyu, who was accompanying him, asked again: "Sister, who are these old men?" ”
"Who? These are all well-known artists in China, and it is rare to see each other, but I didn't expect so many to come at once. Li Keren was extremely excited, but the whole person seemed to be full of energy.
"Better than you?" Wang Baoyu didn't understand.
"Kid, art takes time to precipitate, and my skills are far from being as good as these old-timers." Li Keren said seriously.
After Li Keren's introduction, Wang Baoyu learned about the origin of these people, the thin old man who walked in front of him is the head of the Artists Association by Changshuo, followed by the old man behind him, short and fat, with sparse hair, but Jiao Dachuan, a great painter of today's landscape school, and with gold wire glasses on the right side, and hearing aids in his ears, it is true that Qiao Mohua, the first person of today's ink bone school, and everyone behind him are famous, not the founder of this school, or the leader of that school, it is said that the works of these painters are as high as more than 10,000 per square foot.
People's paintings are all valuable and marketable, the older they get, the more valuable they are, and they have to wait for the old men to draw a few strokes when they don't tremble. In a word, don't worry about selling at all!
"Good! Ethereal and far-reaching, the idea is profound. Yu Changshuo admired Li Keren's work and admired it.
"The combination of East and West is natural." Jiao Dachuan also said the same.
"There is extraordinary taste in the elegance, and the endless truth in the pen and ink is amazing." Qiao Mohua held his glasses and sighed.
"That's good, it's the first female painter!"
"Femininity and fortitude go hand in hand, line drawing and ink color are compatible, no one can match!"
