My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 268 The Eve of the Art Exhibition
It was still early, and Xu Yanmei was going to take Han Qi to see the venue of the gallery first.

She sat in the co-pilot and introduced the people driving around to Han Qi.

"This is Tang Hong, Hong of Hongyan. This time we will hold this art exhibition in his gallery."

Tang Hong drove the car, smiled at the rearview mirror, said honestly, "Hello, Mr. Han, I have been hearing people discussing your works since last month, and I am very happy to be able to participate in your work. in the exhibition."

"You are too polite, this is not my personal exhibition."

"Almost, almost."

Seeing that it was inconvenient for him to shake hands while driving, he announced the end of the handshake session, and Tang Hong began to brag about Han Qi's past deeds.

"The buildings you designed in Norway are very beautiful. After I cooperated with Ms. Xu, I specially went to Norway to visit. I like your works very much. Whether it is paintings or Huaxia Pavilion, there is a little taste of oriental stream of consciousness, which is very classic. "

Although in his opinion, they are all powerful and real things, but to Han Qi it sounds really embarrassing.He would get tired of hearing such good words too much, but now he hoped that someone would come out and point out his shortcomings.

However, the black fan comments on Weibo are an exception.

When a cultural person scolds someone, he has to pay attention to a person who has evidence, the kind of person who only sees your advantages as shortcomings, and dares to publish his stupid remarks on Weibo. He really thinks this person There is something wrong with my brain.

It's definitely not cursing, but Han Qi's true thoughts.

Han Qi became popular too quickly, and all kinds of news came out one after another, sometimes it was sculpture, sometimes it was singing, and sometimes it was architecture.

This kind of all-round talent has also become a point of attack for many people.

The same self-media, the same star, as long as the same industry, it is very difficult to recognize a person's excellence.Moreover, Han Qi has no background. A year ago, he was just a student, and he was still a junior college with no sense of existence.

It's a long way off, but they're getting there.

Tang Hong's gallery is located in Yanjing Caochangdi Art District. This place is at the junction of the Airport Side Road and the Fifth Ring Road, so it is not long to drive there.

Caochangdi Art District is very close to the famous 798 Art District, but its current scale is not inferior to 798, and it also has a construction area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. You can see galleries everywhere along the road, and there are many painting studios.

The buildings are also different from those seen on ordinary streets. They have a unique style, and you can really see a little bit of art when you come in suddenly.

Artists always have a lot of inspiration.

Just like Han Qi, when he is painting at home, he likes to be distracted, or just play with his mobile phone for a while, or take a paintbrush and paint on the surrounding walls.Although they are all paintings made by Han Qi's leisurely work, if someone walks in, they will definitely think at the first moment - what an artist.

This is what it feels like to be here.

What an art district!

The occasional graffiti on the road makes Han Qi seem to have come to the streets of Europe.

Tang Hong's gallery is located in the central area, and it seems to be very powerful. It is now closed. There is a huge poster at the entrance and at the corner of the street to promote this Nordic art exhibition.

Very cool poster, using many names and photos of the painters to the extent that the paintings are not revealed.

Han Qi's paintings are the main exhibits of this exhibition, and his name is naturally on the posters. The photos taken before have come into play. The handsome and confident him is placed at the center of a group of internationally renowned painters. It is definitely a C position.

Main works: "Daytime on Karl Johanstreet"

Price: 12000000 euros.

A series of zeros dazzled the people who saw it, and for a while they didn't know how much it was, so some people passing by stopped to take a closer look.

"One thousand two, one two three four, four zeros, twelve million? It's still euros, how is that possible?"

"Isn't this Han Qi singing?"

"I thought it was a travel blogger. I saw his video. How can he sell so much money for a painting? I always feel a little fake, can't it be money laundering?"

A group of people stood in front of the poster to discuss, at least half of them were working in this park.

Han Qi and the others happened to hear it when they came over.

Tang Hong said with some embarrassment: "It's normal to be jealous of your peers in the industry. Don't mind Mr. Han. After they see your work, they will probably know why the painting is so expensive."

Han Qi shook his head and said, "It's fine."

In fact, he was very angry, but he had to maintain his image and not change his face all of a sudden, but he saw someone taking a picture of himself with a mobile phone in the distance.

He doesn't like to read Weibo comments and private chats because he is afraid of being affected by such trolls.

Han Qi has never been a person with a good attitude, and he also clearly understands that in reality, no one would point to his nose and say that you launder money, and ask you why.So he prefers to communicate with people face to face.

With a normal face, he walked into the gallery talking and laughing with Dale who didn't understand Chinese.

Tang Hong seemed to know these people, and after Han Qi walked in, he rushed over and said, "Please keep your voice down when discussing others. It was Han Qi who went in just now. He heard everything you said, and it made me feel a little bit worse." fell shame."

"That man just now was Han Qi?"

"I can't see clearly with a mask on."

The young painter who questioned that this was a money laundering act did not take it seriously, and laughed contemptuously:
"I don't believe that he understands this and that. He shoots a video and posts a video of himself doing woodcarving. I believe it. He sings a video. I believe it. But have you ever seen him draw? Or can you really be sure that Norway The Huaxia Pavilion was designed by him?"

"It's none of your business whether you believe it or not. How much does a painting cost for you? How much does a painting cost for someone else? Want you to discuss it?" Tang Hong's tone was not polite.

He didn't have a good impression of this man.

"Fake is fake, he can't be real." The young man snorted coldly, put his hands in the pockets of the sweater and walked away, and said as he walked, "Anyone who knows marketing can draw anything casually, and it will sell for tens of millions. Let’s go out, we can only earn a few thousand yuan by painting a painting for half a month, what’s the reason for that?”

As soon as the propaganda in Huaxia came out, he went to check Han Qi's information. A student who is not a painting major, 22 years old, can buy tens of millions for the first painting he draws?

He can only say two words: "Hehe"

Seeing the people leaving, Tang Hong said to the rest of the people: "Be careful, I still say the same thing. You will know why when you see it. Before that, keep your mouth shut. You are not children. gone."

"Understood, Brother Tang." Everyone echoed.

Walking into the gallery, the outside sunlight is hidden in the corridor. This long corridor is illuminated with soft light, which is reflected in the paintings on this corridor.

Xu Yanmei said:

"The paintings here are all the original works of their gallery. There are also works by well-known painters, and there are also works by students who have just graduated from the art school. It seems that this gallery does not have any hard and fast conditions for selecting works, but they can sell at high prices in the end."

Dale asked curiously: "Are they easy to accept works?"

"Of course it's easy to collect. There are so many people who are willing to put their works here that they can cross the threshold. There are rumors that as long as the works can enter here, the artist will not need to worry about money for at least two years."

"It's not bad, it's a boutique." Dale nodded.

"It's definitely not comparable to your gallery," Xu Yanmei said.

The collections in Dale Gallery are all famous works, which are very famous in the whole of Northern Europe. The lowest price is a painting of 300 million euros. Sometimes there are guests from the United States who spend a lot of money, not only do not bargain, Instead, they bought new works from some painters at a premium.

Although this gallery can be considered a mid-to-high end in China, it is still far from the real upper class.

There are rumors that it is impossible to buy particularly precious paintings in Huaxia galleries, and those works worth more than tens of millions have been auctioned off. Painters of that level rarely cooperate with galleries like European painters.

Han Qi also looked at the works around him, but didn't say anything.

I was still thinking about what the previous person said about money laundering.

Does this look down on me too much?
If it was encountered in the game, Han Qi really wanted to tell him what is magnanimity and what is Confucianism, so as to convince others with reason.

"Han Qi, what do you think?" Dale asked.

"Huh? Uh... I think everything is fine."

I don't know what she said before, but after hearing Han Qi's words, she nodded and said, "Yes, young painters are very aura. Although the price is a little lower, the ideas in the paintings are rich, but some of the expensive ones works, the thinking is seriously rigid.”

Xu Yanmei pointed out which one she liked the most, and asked, "If this painting were put in your gallery, how much would it be worth?"

Dale looked at the 6000 Huaxia coins under the painting, and said without hesitation: "I won't ask for it, but if I really like it, no matter how famous this person is, at least I can give him two hundred dollars." to a price of 300 million euros."

The price was not given by her, but she put the painting in her gallery at a price of 300 or [-] million euros, waiting for rich people to look at it and buy it later.

She, Delgladys, was worth millions in the art world.

Dale held her head high, her confident expression and tone made this handsome working woman look more like a queen.

Many girls have short hair, but the woman who can keep short hair like boys and still conquer the world with her own charm, Han Qi only sees Dale in so many places.

Xu Yanmei was also very envious, she nodded and said, "Yes."

Through the corridor, the light in the hall is very bright. After all, this is a separate venue, and at the beginning of the design, it was known that it would be used to display paintings in the future. Increase the lighting area of ​​natural light.

Many people were busy inside, wearing white gloves, carefully hanging or installing paintings on shelves.

The little assistant Dale I met in Norway is also here, directing the work in unproficient Chinese. Next to her is the suitcase that Han Qi only saw two days ago, or a safe, which should contain Han Qi's painting.

In the distance, several tall security guards were sitting on chairs in the gallery discussing with serious expressions, probably in a meeting.

When Dale saw the suitcase, she remembered something, and said to Han Qi: "Han, I think the insurance amount of your painting is a bit low. If you want, we can jointly insure this year until he is sold." until."

She only saw this painting when she came over in the morning, and immediately wanted to hide the painting and take it back to Norway secretly.

For an ordinary painter, as long as two paintings in a short period of time can keep their own level, it is considered good, but Han Qi is not keeping his own level, this is clearly the work of the same person who suddenly improved his ability by 50.00%.

It still has Han Qi's strong personal style, but it is more beautiful and more suitable for the public to watch.

Art is a very small thing, but if you can express this small group as both refined and popular, those who like elegance can see what they like from it, and those who don't understand art will also be sincere when they see it for the first time It's awesome to say something, not Shabby.

This kind of work is really rare to see.

Han Qi really has the potential to become a leader of the faction, and this time will not be too long, probably in the next few years.

2000 million Huaxia coins, how much is this?

In case of any accident, Dale would be heartbroken to death.

Although her gallery does not lack good paintings, it is not easy to see paintings of this level. After a little operation, the selling price will definitely be much higher than Han Qi's previous painting.

"I... don't think so?"

It is possible to encounter danger abroad, but how is it possible in China?
He hadn't heard of robbers in China for many years. Even if there were robbers, they would rob gold, silver and jewelry. Who would rob a few paintings?

It's true that all the robbers are Chu Liuxiang.

Seeing that Han Qi didn't agree, Dale didn't say much, and decided in her heart to find her bank broker to ship out of China through their insurance channel after the exhibition in China was over.

Like Han Qi, she felt that being in her own gallery was the safest.

Tang Hong also came up and asked, "Do you need any other arrangements? The art exhibition will be held tomorrow. This is also the first time for me to undertake such a large-scale art exhibition. I am a little nervous."

Xu Yanmei comforted: "There is nothing to be nervous about. The art exhibition is not a banquet. People who come here come to see the paintings, not to listen to what we say, or to see what you do. You just need to provide drinks and cakes for tomorrow. gone."

Speaking of cakes, she glanced at Han Qi: "I found that the dim sum you made is very popular on the Internet recently, do you want to make a few?"

"Forget it, it's too troublesome."

The layout process is going smoothly. The best place in the exhibition was originally "Daytime". Now, this famous painting that has been praised in Europe has been put down, and Han Qi's second work "Four Seasons" on the market is hung. ".

No matter who sees this painting for the first time, they will think that the colors inside are flowing.

Xu Yanmei and Dale were also making quick preparations that they hadn't made before.

They originally thought that Han Qi's painting might not be able to be painted, or that if it was painted, the quality might not be that good, so they prepared two sets of plans, and now they are starting the second set.

Xu Yanmei is contacting her friends in China to increase her influence for this art exhibition.

From the fact that she has the same short hair as Del, she is the kind of person who regards Del as her goal—I may not be so good at painting, but I also want to stand in a place in the painting world and express my own sound.

And Dale is also in contact, she is not in contact with colleagues, but customers.

big client.

If the painting can be sold before the Huaxia Art Exhibition ends, then the insurance cost will not be borne by himself.

By the way, make a name for yourself.

Look.

A talented painter who paints this kind of work.

I found out.
