v3 Chapter 1064： Qi Baishi's shrimp sells for 200 yuan?

"Of course no problem, please!"

After speaking, Yan Sihai said a please gesture, and then took Xia Yu, Liu Zhihe and others into it.

After turning a few turns along the corridor, Xia Yu found that this was another building, equivalent to the annex of the China Revolutionary History Museum. In addition to the guest house and restaurant, there was also a special calligraphy and painting exhibition hall.

The calligraphy and painting exhibition hall is exactly where Xia Yu's goal is.

After walking into the Progress Hall, the scene in front of him made Xia Yu's eyes bright.

I saw many people standing in the huge exhibition hall. Except for a dozen foreigners, most of them were elderly people of a certain age, admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the walls.

Xia Yu glanced, and conservatively estimated that there were at least a few hundred calligraphy and paintings hanging in this huge exhibition hall. It's a boutique!

Xia Yu walked straight to the front of a painting. It was an ink painting. It was a group of shrimps cruising, with different postures, lifelike and full of charm. He painted the shrimps walking calmly and lively and'happy in it'. The beauty of emotion and poetry.

This shrimp is well drawn!

Xia Yu looked at the words and the red seal in the lower right corner again.

There are not many words, only two, but it makes Xia Yu's eyes bright.

Shiraishi!

There is a square red seal under the word. There are not many lines in the word, but Xia Yu can still tell that the upper left corner is the stone word, and the lower right corner is the white word.

This is Qi Baishi's chapter!

Sure enough, the introduction of Yan Sihai that sounded at this time confirmed Xia Yu's judgment.

"Mr. Xia, this painting is by Mr. Qi Baishi. There are hundreds of paintings by Mr. Qi Baishi in our museum. Because of the area of ​​the exhibition hall, only a dozen are displayed. The size of this one is considered medium."

Hearing that the museum had collected hundreds of paintings by Mr. Qi Baishi, Xia Yu was a little surprised and curiously asked: "Then what is the price for this painting by Mr. Qi Baishi?"

Yan Sihai immediately said, "This painting is sold for two hundred yuan?"

Xia Yu stared slightly, thinking he had heard it wrong, looked at Yan Sihai, and asked again: "Two hundred yuan?"

Yan Sihai thought that Xia Yu was too expensive, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Qi Baishi’s paintings are indeed at this price, mainly because his old man has passed away for more than 20 years, and his paintings are sold for one less than one. , And his old man’s reputation is relatively large, so the price is more expensive."

"Like the paintings of Master Li Keran, because he continues to create, the price will be much cheaper. The fine works are fifteen yuan a foot. Early paintings can be bought for eight or nine yuan."

"If you want to buy this painting, I can discount you half the price!"

Hearing what Yan Sihai said, Liu Zhihe glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and hurriedly added: "Mr. Xia, if you like this painting, I can give it to you directly on behalf of the museum. Here you can see which one you like. Take it away!"

Yan Sihai heard Liu Zhihe say this, and took a look at the latter and found that Liu Zhihe kept winking at him. He immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, Mr. Xia, you are our VIP. You can take any painting you need with me. Let someone wrap it up for you"

Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. Seeing Yan Sihai seemed to be planning to call someone, he waved his hand to stop him.

"Director Yan, Director Liu, you don't need to be like this. If you don't have any rules, don't mention it. If I want it, I will buy it!"

"Let's go see the painting over there!"

After that, Xia Yu stepped forward, ignoring Qi Baishi's painting.

Liu Zhihe and Yan Sihai looked at each other, wondering whether Xia Yu liked the painting or not.

The two could only quickly follow in Xia Yu's footsteps.

Next, Xia Yu stopped in front of many pictures. Yan Sihai would give an introduction. Xia Yu would inevitably ask the price, and Yan Sihai would answer truthfully.

After some understanding, Xia Yu looked at the calligraphy and paintings of the masters all around, and there was an emotion in his heart that seemed to be gushing out, which was worthless and regretful for them.

These deceased or living masters in China are very famous, but their masterpieces are sold in the National Revolutionary History Museum at low prices.

According to Yan Sihai, many artists take the initiative to sell their paintings here in order to make a living, because selling to foreign guests can have a higher price and can also contribute to the country.

But what about the price?

Li Keran's paintings range from seven or eight yuan to fifteen yuan a foot.

Li Kuchan's painting is more than ten yuan a foot.

Wu Zuoren's painting is six or seven yuan a foot.

Lin Fengmian's painting is three or four yuan per foot.

Zhang Daqian's paintings cost more than ten yuan a chi.

And what about the works of the late masters?

Qi Baishi's prawn picture, Xu Beihong's horse and flower picture, Pan Tianshou's flower and bird picture, Wu Changshuo's calligraphy and painting, Huang Binhong's landscape painting... The price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. (This is a real thing, it was partially swept away by more than 200,000 people, and it is worth tens of billions for later generations)

this era……

Hey, it's all caused by poverty!

Seeing Xia Yu staying there for a long time without speaking, Liu Zhihe was a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Yu woke up, looking at the worried expressions of Liu Zhihe and Yan Sihai, he smiled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just thought of something."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yan Sihai and asked in a puzzled manner: "Curator Yan, I have a question for you."

"Mr. Xia, please speak!" Yan Sihai said immediately.

"You just said that the income from selling calligraphy and paintings here is mainly used to improve the funds of the museum and to entertain foreign guests. These calligraphy and paintings are sold for such a price, is the income enough? Can they be sold?" Xia Yu asked.

Yan Sihai was a little embarrassed. He looked at Liu Zhihe again and sighed and said, "Mr. Xia, let’s tell you, the income from selling calligraphy and painting is definitely not enough. According to the above requirements, we have to receive foreign guests who come to the museum. The standard is three yuan per person, but how can the three yuan be enough? The difference will be solved from the income here, but the Chinese don’t have much money and can’t buy many paintings, and the foreign guests don’t understand the culture of our country. Calligraphy and painting are bought less."

"Up to now, it is almost out of business. As a national museum, it is embarrassing to sell calligraphy and paintings here, but we are the hope of many artists, so it is difficult for us now."

Hearing what Yan Sihai said, Liu Zhihe gave Xia Yu a little embarrassed.

I saw that Xia Yu's expression was a bit complicated, and he didn't know what was thinking in his heart.

After a while, Xia Yu let out a long sigh, glanced at the calligraphy and paintings around him, and then solemnly said to Yan Sihai: "Curator Yan, I want to buy calligraphy and painting!"

Yan Sihai glanced at Liu Zhihe and found that the latter nodded to him, his face was beaming, and he asked: "Mr. Xia, which calligraphy and painting do you like?"

Xia Yu glanced around and faintly uttered two words: "All."

"All?"

Yan Sihai was startled, blinked, and asked uncertainly: "Mr. Xia, do you mean that there are hundreds of calligraphy and paintings hanging here?"

Xia Yu shook his head, and when Yan Sihai was a little disappointed, what Xia Yu said shocked him completely.

"I mean all the calligraphy and paintings that you take away from the museum, the ones that are hung here, and those that are not, I want them all!"

When these words came out, not only Yan Sihai was shocked, but even Liu Zhihe was stunned by Xia Yu's operation.

It's not that Yan Sihai has never seen someone who buys calligraphy and painting in a big way, but it is the first time that he has seen someone like Xia Yu who has said everything in a breezy way.

"Mr. Xia, it is conservatively estimated that there are tens of thousands of paintings we have saved, are you sure you want them?"

Xia Yu nodded slightly and said with a light smile: "It's only tens of thousands, I want it. If you can take out more, I want it. Anyway, I want as much as I want!"

"I have a museum in Xiangjiang, which is large enough to collect millions of cultural relics and works of art. It is still empty now. I just bought some calligraphy and painting to fill it in."

After Xia Yu was confirmed, Yan Sihai’s surprise smile on his face could not be concealed. He quickly said: “Mr. Xia, you can rest assured that our museum is in cooperation with schools and institutions such as China Academy of Fine Arts and China Academy of Fine Arts. The general works are Those that can’t be brought into our place, they still have a lot of works there, if you need them, I can bring them all!”

PS: If I said one update, then I would have two changes, and the second one was sent. It was really painful. I went to bed first. Good night everyone!
