My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 269 Cold Nordic Art Exhibition
Han Qi didn't sleep well that night, and kept thinking about tomorrow's art exhibition.

The domestic mainstream media has never reported on the fact that his paintings set off a frenzy abroad.Han Qi doesn't know why, maybe it's because there are too few paintings, and the only one is well protected, so they can't see the real thing?

Or even the media find it hard to believe that Han Qi can draw such works, and they are all waiting and watching.

Speak is to pay attention to the basis.

Now the evidence is in the gallery, surrounded by a dozen security guards.

Previously, some scattered media reported that Han Qi's paintings were sold at sky-high prices abroad, and countless colleges and universities were eager for Han Qi to give lectures in their colleges.But seeing such news, even some die-hard fans of Han Qi felt that these media were reporting indiscriminately.

Doesn't Han Qi just like to draw simple sketches?The level of art school students is only, how can they be sold at sky-high prices?
So far, their impression of Han Qi is still a singer and a traveler.

These two identities are the most widely spread. In China, 70.00% of Han Qi’s fans come from these two professions, followed by designers who have been reported by a large number of media such as CCTV, and then writers, sculptors, and racing drivers. .

He has a wide range of hobbies, which is recognized by many people, but the fact that he has crossed from a singer to a painter makes many people feel sensational.

"Ugh……"

Han Qi sighed quietly on the big bed in the hotel.

It depends on tomorrow.

But the inability to fall asleep is not entirely due to nervousness. The main reason is that I stay up late at home every day, and my biological clock is almost reversed. I am more energetic than during the day in the middle of the night.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the phone rang.

Han Qi fumbled for the phone and checked the time first. It was only ten past seven in the morning. Han Qi was obviously not awake at this time, so he answered the phone and said:

"Hey?"

"It's me, Xu Yanmei, are you up yet?"

"Oh, Miss Xu."

"Are you coming with us now?"

Han Qi thought for a while, and was a little timid. He wanted to go alone to see what ordinary people think of his paintings, so he refused: "I won't go there, I will go to see it alone later. Let's see the effect."

Xu Yanmei knew what Han Qi was thinking, and comforted her, "Your painting will amaze everyone, so don't worry."

"Haha, let me borrow your good words."

At nine o'clock this morning, the week-long (cold Nordic) art exhibition will begin.

Xu Yanmei must go there earlier, so that any problems can be resolved on the spot.This art exhibition is independently organized by Xu Yanmei, and has nothing to do with Dale Gallery, she just borrowed some of the works of Dale Gallery.

After hanging up the phone, Han Qi procrastinated for a while before getting up to take a shower after passing the hotel.

At the end of July, this is the last madness of summer. The dry air and high temperature of 31 degrees make passersby dizzy on the road.Han Qi wasn't quite used to this kind of environment either, but fortunately, Han Qi didn't have to wait downstairs for long. There were a lot of taxis coming and going, and soon one of them stopped in front of Han Qi.

"Where are you going, brother?"

"To the grass field."

"Art Village, you also went to see the art exhibition?"

"You also know about today's art exhibition?"

Is sister Xu's promotion so good?

The driver let out a hi, and said proudly: "Is there anything Yanjing's driver doesn't know? You say no, but I just found out about the art exhibition today, and I pulled two of them in just that hour. The little girl who went to see the art exhibition over there."

"Aren't you old?"

"How big can it be? Do you know who the painter is? Han Qi, the one who travels around and sings very well. To be honest, his songs are really good, and I like them too, but aren't all the stars chasing young girls? ?Am I right?"

"..."

Han Qi didn't speak, but the driver was still chatting:

"I heard that one of his paintings sold more than 1000 million yuan, tsk, you can buy a house in the second ring road. This celebrity is really quick to make money. I remembered that there was a little fresh meat who posted pictures of himself on the Internet. The fee-based one earned 500 million overnight."

Han Qi also knew about this, and he wanted to prove that his painting behavior was different from this kind of fresh meat, which required strength.

And my unit of more than 1000 million yuan is in euros, not to mention a house, a villa is no problem.

But so what?

Han Qi put down the car window and wandered into the sky, thinking about what the uncle said just now... Could it be that all the people who came to the art exhibition today were little girls?
No way, there will always be a few people who are slightly older and have a sense of art, right?

The sun was still warm, but Han Qi felt a little cold.

But if you want to come back, is it okay for someone to see it?This is only the first day of the art exhibition, so it's normal for fans to come here.Moreover, Caochangdi is an art area, and those painters and buyers do not need to take a taxi there.

People with financial strength must take private cars.

Han Qi stood up again.

Get out of the car and walk towards the gallery amidst the driver's voice 'have fun'.

The entrance of the gallery today is a little different from yesterday. There are flower baskets on display, and the receptionist at the entrance is wearing a plain cheongsam. She is about 1.7 meters tall and dressed in such a beautiful style. Everyone looks like a goddess. of.

There are also many levels of art exhibitions. Some art exhibitions are free to visit, but today this is a paid art exhibition.

A ticket of 50 yuan is not a lot.

When Xu Yanmei first planned, it was also free of charge, but her friends in Northern Europe supported the works of many famous artists, especially Dale, who brought a lot of expensive oil paintings in one go, especially Han Qi, so there is no charge anymore , so the visitors must not crowd this gallery?
In addition to the young lady at the reception, there are many people waiting outside the door with tickets.

There are men and women. Although there are more girls, they are not all little girls as the driver said. Many girls are richer at first glance.

Still very sexy.

Han Qi didn't look for Xu Yanmei and Tang Hong. He bought a ticket and stood in line at the back.

In front of him was a couple. The man was in his forties, very thin, and his hair was sprayed with hairspray... Han Qi felt that as long as a boy in his forties does not gain weight, lose his hair, or engage in physical labor, he will look Very elegant.

Women are in their thirties, a little shorter than men, but the makeup is very good-looking.

He said they were a couple, mainly because he didn't know if they were a couple.

The woman whispered to the man: "This art exhibition is very different from other art exhibitions. There are too many people here, right?"

"There is Han Qi's work, there is no way." The man shook his head, "It is estimated that half of the people in the gallery are Han Qi's personal fans, and they are not here to come to see the paintings, but to support him, you see Those in front of us should be."

Han Qi glanced sideways, and saw some students still carrying schoolbags.

Mentioning Han Qi, the girl's eyes were a little curious: "I heard that the rich man in Norway fell in love with his paintings at a glance, 200 million euros. Now no one in China can achieve this level of work, right? I really want to hurry up See what it's like."

The man pursed his lips and said after a long time:
"I'm also very curious, and the paintings on display today include not only the "Daytime", but also Han Qi's new work. I heard that Xu Yanmei immediately replaced the main exhibition work as soon as she saw that painting. This new work Definitely better than Daytime."

Judging by the tone of voice, do you still know Xu Yanmei?

Are you an acquaintance?

Afterwards, the two of them seldom talked, and the man's face was more serious. Han Qi guessed that he was also a painter.And the status is not low... Of course, this is Han Qi's sixth sense, and he can't tell what profession he is.

The improvement of eyesight is not the improvement of experience. In this regard, Han Qi is still the boy he was back then.

Step into the gallery.

The place is still the same place, but there are too many people.

Han Qi once participated in an art exhibition when he was traveling in the UK. It was relatively quiet inside, and it probably has something to do with the location. Anyway, it is like a social place. If you think someone is pleasing to the eye, just go up and say "you Do you like this painting? '

And here...

market?

There are quite a few people in the corridor at the door, and they are all admiring the paintings on the corridor.

For many people, the exhibits above are the only things they can afford. The paintings in the hall cost millions. They really have so much money, but they don’t want to use the money to buy works by modern painters. What antiques, who knows if they can keep their value?
Walking in with the flow of people, Han Qi saw Tang Hong standing in a corner of the gallery.

Tang Hong also saw Han Qi. Although Han Qi was wearing a mask, he recognized Han Qi at a glance.When Xu Yanmei came over in the morning, she told him that Han Qi would come by herself. With such news, she could recognize the handsome guy wearing a mask and hat.

He smiled at Han Qi and nodded.

Han Qi's agitated heart calmed down a little.

He walked towards the place with the most people.

Han Qi doesn't like places with too many people, such as holiday attractions, such as discounted supermarkets.But today, even if he doesn’t like him, he still wants to take a look. He has always known their attitudes towards his works from the mouths of his friends and the discussions of some artists.

But what about ordinary people?
Unlike other works of art in the exhibition, their paintings have a certain degree of artistic connotation, and ordinary people cannot understand them.

It's a bit exaggerated to say so, maybe some people will say why ordinary people can't understand?
Art is the same as movies. Some movies with more depth, ordinary people can't watch them.I even feel that this movie is cloudy and messy, and the editing is messy... But people who can understand it think it has depth and is very interesting.

Han Qi thinks he has achieved both elegance and vulgarity, but he also wants to hear the opinions of ordinary people.

There are a lot of people here, and it can be said that it is the most crowded area.

Hanging on the wall is Han Qi's new work "Four Seasons". The hanging position is slightly higher than people's heads, so you don't need to squeeze too close to see clearly. A line is drawn one meter apart from the wall, and there are two security guards Stand straight at the two corners of the line to prevent anyone from approaching.

Most of the paintings have such protection, but there are not many people guarding them.

Few people spoke, and those in front were all appreciating carefully, only those who had just come to see it from behind were amazed.

"The painting seems to be moving?"

"This is the effect of color." Someone replied.

Half of the people who come here are Han Qi's personal fans, which should be about the same, or even higher.

But there are still many art practitioners, or people who are more concerned about the oil painting industry. They know the status of Han Qi's works abroad, so they come here with preparation... But now it seems that this kind of preparation is not enough.

In the front was a man with a flushed face, holding a magnifying glass close to his eyes, bent his upper body and leaned forward vigorously.

The security guard was also pushing him hard.

"Don't get close to this line, if you do this again we will ask you out!"

"Let me take another look, let me take a closer look!"

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot.

Han Qi recognized that this was the person who mocked him at the entrance of the gallery yesterday. Han Qi, who has a good memory, could clearly recall what he said yesterday:
"Money laundering."

Lu Xinghuai looks like he has gone crazy, why does the color of this painting flow?Why?
As a college student, I haven't painted since primary school, why?
Why?
He was born in a small village, and almost emptied his family's savings in order to learn painting. It was only when he was in the college entrance examination that he found that what the teacher taught was not used in the art examination.So I went back to school for a year to re-learn painting knowledge by myself, and was admitted to Huamei.

Now I am 27, have no girlfriend, no savings, and a painting can only cost a few thousand yuan at most.

Is there such a big gap between people?

He wants to study this painting, he really wants to know how Han Qi made this painting, he doesn't even have the heart to envy why Han Qi's painting can sell so much money, he just wants to know how Han Qi can Draw something like this.

Han Qi watched for a long time.

The security guards were still strong and firmly controlled the situation.

And he was the only one who was crazy, the others were looking at the painting, and then reluctantly left.

The couple who lined up in front of Han Qi also walked over slowly. They came to the art exhibition to appreciate the works, so they walked very slowly. They agree with Xu Yanmei's aesthetics. The Nordic works put in this art exhibition They are all beautiful.

When he walked to the main exhibition and saw "Four Seasons", the usually calm man also showed a surprised expression.

"No wonder Europeans say that Han's paintings will lead a new round of oil painting revolution, which is also..." He couldn't think of an adjective.

"People over there say that Han Qi's painting is a new genre, which is called New Colorism by many art academies. I never understood why it was called New Colorism... Now I understand, this color is too Absolutely?"

The man's expression calmed down.

After watching carefully for a few minutes, he said with a smile:

"I'm very fortunate. Fortunately, Han Qi is a Chinese. The oil painting method originated in the West, and the market in our country has never been big. Without the European oil painting market environment, I thought I would never see such works appear in my life in our country."

"It seems that Han Qi is really powerful."

"Let's continue to look ahead. Han Qi has sold 1200 million euros of works ahead. When today's art exhibition is over, we will ask Xu Yanmei to help us contact Han Qi."
