Hearing this, the buyers and the appraisal masters of Sotheby's were stunned.
Calligraphy and painting masters all over the world were also stunned.
Since ancient times, paintings and calligraphy were only valuable when they were out of print. When the author was alive and could paint at any time, no matter how good the painting was, the price would not be too outrageous.
What people paid a high price for was a kind of cultural collection after it was out of print, not the painting itself.
However, if that master really stopped painting, then the fake painting would be worth a lot of money.
Of course, more calligraphy and painting masters slammed the table and exclaimed that it was a pity. Why did such a good master stop painting?
At this moment, the woman named Song Qing once again announced some of the few remaining paintings of that master. These paintings were not imitations of the paintings that Daoist Wu had circulated. The contents were brand new.
One of them was the Nine Links Pool Waterfall!
The painting technique shocked the entire world. It was clearly rough and rough, but it gave people the illusion that all the flowers and trees were clearly visible in the eyes.
However, if one really looked carefully, the lines were rough and bold, not sticking to a single pattern.
The eastern ink was scattered wantonly on the painting, bringing with it a poetic mood that was shocking.
In the end, the masters all over the world gave a pertinent evaluation. It was a contemporary art saint!
The person who had spent 300 million to buy the painting did not return the painting. He said that as long as the master no longer painted, he was willing to collect it.
Some people felt that this person was a little stupid. Would a living painter not paint?
Some people also felt that the master was also a person with character and would not go back on his word.
For a moment, the two factions on the Internet argued endlessly.
At this moment, Song Qing threw another bomb, "Although that master no longer paints, he is doing his best to nurture a disciple. Her name is Liu Xin, and she lives in Xiulin Village, Gulin, Huaxia."
Then, Song Qing showed two paintings of Liu Xin.
One was the earliest painting of Yu Hui-fei wiping the tombstone, and the other was the current painting of a flying dragon on the Nine Links Pool Waterfall.
Once again, there was a frenzy of discussion on the Internet.
Those old guys who had not appeared in the past also appeared because of the news of Daoist Wu's imitation painting. They even gave Daoist Wu the title of the contemporary art saint.
Now that the disciple of the Art Saint had appeared, they naturally wanted to take a look …
Then, they gave their own evaluations.
There were mixed reviews, but the final evaluation was similar to that in China. He was a promising talent with a promising future.
Just like that, Liu Xin, with the help of this wave of perfect hype, directly appeared in the eyes of the world's painting masters and stood on the world's painting stage.
However, Liu Xin didn't care about that at all. She only cared about what was in front of her.
Every day, she would follow Wu Daozi and Yu Hui-fei through the forest with a big black bear, painting the beautiful scenery of the forest. She enjoyed this kind of comfortable life very much.
As more and more of Liu Xin's paintings of Xiulin spread, it naturally attracted more curious people and tourists to Xiulin, wanting to see if the world in the paintings really existed …
At this moment, the old village chief, Jiang Sansheng, also became more vigilant than he had ever been before. He immediately arranged for a car to enter the mountain and drove it to the place where Liu Xin was painting.
In the end, when those people came, they naturally found many sceneries in the paintings.
The real scenery had a different kind of beauty, and it immediately amazed countless people.
What shocked people the most wasn't this …
When they appeared at the edge of the forest, they would see bears rubbing against trees.
Wild boars were rolling in the mud.
By the stream, birds were drinking water, and deer were eating grass.
In the distance, there were also wolves wandering …
Occasionally, the legendary Siberian tiger could be seen wandering in the forest.
The harmony of nature was vividly expressed here. Coupled with the beautiful scenery, it suddenly became a holy place.
Large numbers of tourists were flocking here.
For a time, Xiulin Village and the surrounding villages made a lot of money.
At the same time, Gulin also gained a lot of fame. After all, to come to Xiulin, one had to go to Gulin first before they could change buses. This made the local leaders laugh.
The good thing was that the leaders of Gulin City responded very quickly. All kinds of resources were allocated, the traffic police commanded, the bus dispatch, and so on …
It had become a tourist attraction in Gulin.
In this regard, Yu Hui-fei saw it and smiled. After all, he and Song Dongcheng had contracted this place. The more tourists came, the more he would earn.
Seeing the number on the bank card soar, he couldn't stop smiling.
Liu Xin was also very happy because her paintings were selling more and more. Although the price was not particularly high, there were people who appreciated them and were willing to collect them. This was a good thing for a painter.
In addition, Wu Daozi was very strict with Liu Xin. He was also strict with every painting, so there were not many finished paintings of Liu Xin.
This led to a lot of paintings being hyped up.
The price was also rising quietly.
Of course, there was still a gap between them and world-famous paintings, but it was a good thing after all.
At the same time, Song Qing and Chen Qiao were laughing. Song Qing had been helping Liu Xin from the beginning to the end. The price of the paintings had risen so fast. A painting could easily go from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and she had contributed a lot.
Chen Qiao was happy to see a new star rising. This old man drank at least half a liter of white wine every day.
On this day, as soon as Yu Hui-fei got up, he smelled the fragrance of wine.
Then he heard shouting downstairs. He opened the window and saw Bull's Head Ma Mian, Black and White Wuchang, and Old Goat were all there. They were surrounding a bucket, each with a bowl, and they were drinking water from it. All of their faces were red, and their eyes were red. It was obvious that they had drunk too much.
Yu Hui-fei smelled the fragrance of wine in the air and cried, "Meng Po Wine?!"
Bull's Head waved and said, "Xiao Yu, come here. It's delicious!"
Yu Hui-fei rushed down without putting on his shoes. The Meng Po Wine, which he had been waiting for half a month, was finally out. He didn't want to fall behind.
Because he knew the animals downstairs too well. If he was a little slower, the bucket might be empty.
When he reached downstairs, Yu Hui-fei grabbed a big bowl and drank a mouthful.
What surprised him was that this Meng Po Wine was less fragrant than the last time he drank it. However, the fragrance of the wine was much stronger.
It just so happened that this rich wine had a refreshing taste. After drinking it, not only did he not feel dizzy, he even felt a little excited. All the worries in his mind were instantly gone. That comfortable feeling really went from the depths of his soul to his flesh and blood.
The alcohol content of this wine was much higher. It was at least 52%. But drinking it in big bowls was refreshing, and it didn't burn his throat.
Yu Hui-fei's eyes lit up and shouted, "Good wine!
Again! "
Then the group of guys didn't eat early in the morning. They just surrounded the bucket and drank.
They drank the wine in the bucket that was as tall as a person.
Then …
"Are you going to tell me? Are you going to tell me?!"
"Hurry up! Get out of the way!"
"Sis … come and talk to me?"
…
