Rebirth of the Nine-Three Era

"Painter Yin, I have been waiting for you in the hotel lobby. I didn't expect you to come here."

Xu Chirui was also surprised to see Cai Lihua and several other painters there.

Of course, the most valuable one is Yin Yuan's five-piece painting series.

Yin Yuan has won No. 1 twice in a row. In that case, the price of his paintings will skyrocket in the market.

In a short period of time, the selling price of his works will increase several times.

He nodded and greeted everyone.

Cai Lihua and others also welcomed him warmly.

Wanting went to the counter and ordered a cup of coffee for him.

Xu Chirui wanted to talk to Yin Yuan about the prices of his five paintings first.

I wanted to talk to him alone, but I didn't know how to speak.

"Painter Yin, we have already dealt with each other several times. Should you sell this painting to me this time?"

Yin Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who I sell to. As long as the price you, Mr. Xu, give me is reasonable, I can sell it to you."

At this time, several more people came into the tea restaurant. After entering, their eyes looked around.

Seeing Xu Chirui's eyes lit up.

When Xu Chirui saw a few of them, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

These mice are so annoying. They follow me wherever I go, and they are like dog-skin plaster that I can't shake off.

However, the people who came in ignored his attitude and walked directly to Yin Yuan and others to introduce themselves.

"Hello fellow painters, I am Huang Jianchun from Macau, a collector of calligraphy and painting. I am here to collect some masterpieces by famous painters. The prices I offer are fair and you will never suffer a loss."

A person next to him pushed him: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Yuan from the capital. I collect calligraphy and painting, ancient books, and ancient coins. Let me tell you, as long as it is something you think is valuable, I will We can give you a suitable price."

The other one is called Maluhe River, which is located in Yangcheng local area. It collects calligraphy and paintings, precious wood, emeralds, diamonds and other valuable items.

Several people came here to collect paintings.

Yin Yuan thought: It's exciting now. The three people who came here are all in competition with Xu Chirui.

He still understands the principle of the snipe and the clam competing for the fisherman's profit.

He introduced himself and several other schoolmates to several people.

"I am Yin Yuan, and the work in this exhibition is the "Miner" painting series. This beautiful sister is called Cai Lihua, she is also a famous painter, and her paintings are very distinctive. The painting in this exhibition is "Young Women at the Farmer's Market" . And this beautiful painter is called Li Weihong, and her painting is called "Wood Carver". This eldest brother is called Xue Weidong, and his painting is from the "Small Alley" series. Let's see what the appropriate price is given by some bosses?"

When Xu Chirui heard what he said, his face twitched unnaturally a few times.

But even though he was unhappy, he couldn't show it, as that would make him look less dignified.

Several other people were extremely happy after hearing this.

"It turns out that you are Painter Yin. Your work has won the first prize in this exhibition. Whether it is the expert score or the audience score, it is beyond the reach of others. Your paintings are also of good quality, and you hope to win the prize."

Several people first looked at Yin Yuan.

If you can collect the works of the first prize-winning artist in the art exhibition, it will definitely be something worth showing off.

Lu Yuan said directly: "The first prize paintings in last year's exhibition were 5 yuan each, and I am willing to pay the same price this time."

Xu Chirui rolled his eyes at him and said: "What kind of vision? I only gave 5 yuan for a painting. Painter Yin also won the first prize last time, and this time he won the first prize again. The momentum is almost the same as that of the great painters. I give every painting The price of Zhang’s painting is 6 yuan.”

Ma Luohe gave a thumbs up and said: "As expected of Xu Da's collector, he is rich and powerful. He is not comparable to the small bosses like me."

Huang Jianchun said to him: "If you want to flatter me, go to a place where no one is around. If you can't afford the price, don't beep here. I'll pay 6 for each painting."

Huang Yuan said: "I will collect a round sum of 7 for one painting."

Looking at Xu Chirui provocatively, he thought to himself: After receiving 7 yuan, there should be room for appreciation, and it would be difficult to say if it were to increase further.

Xu Chirui said without thinking: "I will give you [-]."

Huang Yuan and Huang Jianchun fell into deep thought and stopped talking.

The two turned around and wanted to discuss the price of the paintings with Cai Lihua and the others. Xu Chirui said, "You guys negotiate the price first. No matter what the negotiated price is, I will increase the price by one thousand for each painting."

He thought to himself: How many of you are trying to steal business from me?It's simply overestimating one's ability. I have thousands of paintings in my collection. As long as they are works by famous domestic painters, I have them. If I just take a few of them and put them up for auction, the money I get will be enough to make you even lose your underwear.

Five paintings by Cai Lihua were sold for NT$[-] each.

Li Weihong's paintings were sold for 1 yuan each.

Xue Weidong’s tickets cost 8000 yuan each.

The intention to sell was signed on the spot, and Xu Chirui paid half of the deposit.

Five of Yin Yuan's paintings sold for 40 yuan. He himself did not expect such a high price.

Huang Yuan and others made wedding clothes for Lao Xu. After all, they felt unhappy and left the contact numbers of Yin Yuan and others.

There were more than 20 painters participating in the art exhibition this time. They believed that there was no need to compete with Lao Xu for the price, otherwise they might not be able to receive a piece of their work.

So they winked at each other and left.

Xu Chirui smiled and said to them: "You go and negotiate the price with other painters first. Anyway, no matter how much you negotiate, I will increase the price by one thousand for each painting."

The three people's expressions changed after hearing this.

Is this a plan to kill them all?

Only then did the three of them realize that it was not appropriate to follow Lao Xu and directly compete with him for business.

But when things got to this point, they really had no other option.

Yin Yuan and others returned to the hotel.

The painters participating in the exhibition in the evening had a ticket buffet in the restaurant. When signing in, Yu Yangguang also gave Lin Wanting a meal ticket.

After dinner, Yin Yuan received a call from Hu Kewu of Lingnan Pictorial.

"Painter Yin learned that your painting won the first prize again in this art exhibition. First of all, I would like to congratulate you. Just like last time, our magazine would like to publish a photograph of your painting. You will be paid one thousand for each work. See if it works?"

Yin Yuan said: "Okay, no objection."

Hu Kewu said: "We also want to write a special article about the growth of your painting, and also publish it in "Lingnan Pictorial", and ask Xiaoqin, the famous reporter of our pictorial, to interview you, and then write it into reportage. Of course, we will also pay You are given a certain remuneration, and I will give you two thousand words for ten thousand words. Do you think that’s okay?”

Yin Yuan readily agreed: "No problem."

"When do you think you'll be free?"

"I'm staying at the Yangcheng Hotel now. I can stay here today and tomorrow."

Hu Kewu said happily: "Xiaoqin and I will go to the Yangcheng Hotel to find you later."

Yin Yuan said: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

He turned back to his wife and said, "I'm sorry. I originally wanted to take you to see the night view of Yangcheng in the evening, but unfortunately a reporter from "Lingnan Pictorial" said that he would come to interview me and publish an exclusive interview article in the pictorial. The royalties were [-] yuan and [-] words. , I just don’t know how many words he can write in one article.”

Wanting said: "The night view of any city is the same, and you don't have any regrets whether you go shopping or not. This time I came to see the art exhibition with you, and I realized that my husband has also achieved great success in painting."

The five pictures he painted during his business hours were sold for 40 yuan.

In the future, as his fame grows, wouldn't it mean that a rising tide lifts all boats, and the value of his paintings will become even higher?

At this time, she felt that she should also consciously increase her own literacy, so that she could keep up with the pace of men.

Back in the hotel room, Xiaobao turned on the TV and looked for cartoons to watch.

After a while, Hu Kewu and Xiaoqin arrived at the hotel, called Yin Yuan and asked for a small reception room.

The waiter made tea for them.

Xiaoqin began to interview Yin Yuan.

Painter Yin, is your talent for painting innate, or was it consciously cultivated by your family?

My dad is a primary school substitute teacher and my mom is a rural woman.Neither of them had any talent for painting. My mother taught mathematics, and his educational level was not high.

In your father's time, some of the teachers who taught in primary schools did not have a high school education, and many had a junior high school education.

My dad also has a junior high school education. He told me why he chose to be a substitute teacher in a village primary school.By the way, my dad has been a substitute teacher all his life and applied for retirement just a few months after he became a full-time teacher.

In the past, being able to be a substitute teacher in a village primary school was something worth showing off.

Because my father, four brothers, two sisters, and six children, my grandparents are also farmers.I just want one of my children to be successful.My father was the eldest son and had graduated from junior high school, so my grandfather asked the village director to arrange for his father, who had just graduated from junior high school, to work as a substitute teacher in the village primary school.I was only 16 years old at that time, and the work points earned by working in the production team were only half of those earned by adults. But if you went to teach, you could get the work points earned by adults. This is why my grandfather always sent my father to teach because of his connections.

Xiaoqin nodded and said, I found that one of the parents is a teacher, and their children will be affected in some ways.Maybe you have been interested in painting since you were a child, and it has something to do with your father being a teacher, right?At what age did you become interested in painting?

When I was a child, I liked to scribble on the ground and walls. I don’t know if it was a natural talent for painting. I would go outside to collect firewood and pull out pigweed. Whenever I had free time, I would pull a branch and paint on the ground or graffiti on the beach.

After I went to school, my books and homework were filled with pencil drawings. My dad often beat me because of this.

I can still draw pictures of my classmates who I studied with back then.

Because I always focus on painting when I am studying, my grades are always not good or bad.

When I was in elementary school, my dad had a way to improve my studies. He forbade me from scribbling and drawing in class, and would beat me up if he found out.

When I was promoted to junior high school, I was ranked number one.

My father was very happy at that time and concluded that as long as I continued to study, I would definitely be able to pass the technical secondary school entrance examination in junior high school and study in a normal school for a few years. At that time, it would be very impressive to be able to study in a normal college after graduating from junior high school.

Even taking the college entrance examination and entering a junior college are not as glorious as his.

I was in junior high school, which can be said to be the years when I was freed from my father's control. In the first two years, I could vividly draw the expressions and appearances of the teacher who gave lectures in my notebook.

My classmates often ask me to draw self-portraits for them.

But my academic performance was really a mess. When my dad found out, he told me seriously that if you fail to pass the school after graduating from junior high school, you have no choice but to come back as a commune member and work with everyone to repair the earth.

You'll get five work points at first. If you're willing to contribute after you turn eighteen or nineteen, you can get ten work points. Then you'll find a way to find a wife for you, and you'll have children like this for the rest of your life.

At that time, my father burst into tears when he said it, which deeply touched my heart.

I worked hard on the basis of two years of neglect, and actually passed the county high school with the third highest score in the high school entrance examination.

Of course the first two went to normal school.

Xiaoqin said with a smile: "Your hobby of painting has affected your interest in learning. If it weren't for painting, it might be possible for you to get into a prestigious university during the college entrance examination."

Yin Yuan said maybe, I just have this problem, like a spring, it rebounds when there is pressure.

After entering high school, I relaxed again. In the first two years, I put too much energy into my interest in painting.

At that time, the teacher saw that my painting skills were good and asked me to be responsible for the painting work of several blackboard newspapers.

At that time, I liked to buy books about little people, and I liked to use small notebooks to draw according to the pictures on them, and the drawings were very similar.

There were also illustrated magazines at that time, and I liked to find ways to borrow them, read them, and draw the pictures on them.

At that time, I didn’t know that I could go to an art school, and the school teacher didn’t tell me about it, maybe because it was a small county.

At that time, I only knew that a tall man who was particularly good at basketball was specially recruited to the provincial team.

If I had known there was an academy on the spot, I might have thought of ways to learn painting.

However, due to family conditions at that time, even if I was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, I would definitely not be able to afford it.

I also worked hard in my last year and finally passed the college entrance examination, majoring in mining at a junior college in a geology school.

Studying in a college for three years is considered the easiest. You don’t need to learn any of that knowledge and you won’t fail the course.

While other classmates were falling in love at school and experiencing the beauty of life, I picked up my sketchbook and started drawing everywhere.

During those years, I fell in love with painting landscapes, flowers and birds. I used my frugal living expenses to buy several picture albums, and started the learning process of ink landscape painting in a decent manner.

After graduation, I was assigned to work as a mining technician at Qishan Tungsten Mine. Although the work was hard, I felt that life was very interesting.

Because at this time, I started to receive dozens of yuan in salary every month, and my parents said that you should save money to marry a wife, so they did not ask me to send money to my family.

It was only after a few years in the mines that I stepped into the door frame of painting. Whether it was theoretical knowledge or practical experience, I have gone through systematic study.

Later, the tungsten mining economy declined, and employees were encouraged to stay on without pay and go out to make a living.

So I came to Jiangming and started working as an artist in a craft factory.

At this time, my painting skills allowed me to stand at a high point in my working life.

Xiaoqin and Hu Kewu were filled with emotion after hearing this.

"After interviewing you, I was deeply touched. I believe this interview article will definitely cause a sensation."

Hu Kewu made an appointment with him to photograph him after the award ceremony tomorrow, and then arranged for it to be published at the same time as this reportage next month.
