After Mr. Ma stepped down, the hostess quickly arranged for the staff to carefully collect the gravel;
This is Ma Shao’s one billion auction proceeds!
Nothing careless!
After the bidding is over, it will be handed over to Master Ma intact;
A few small stones are missing. What will Ma Shao do if he really thinks about it?
The female host continued;
“The auction is going on as normal!
The collection we are auctioning next is one of the top ten famous paintings in ancient China. The famous painter Gu Kaizhi during the Eastern Jin Dynasty created a painting based on Cao Zhi's literary work "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo" - "Fu to the Goddess of the Luo"!
This painting takes the love between humans and gods as its theme and depicts the love story between Cao Zhi and Luo Shen. The plot is complete, the techniques are changeable, and the form is meaningful, showing the aesthetic characteristics of Chinese painting;
"Luo Shen Fu Tu" has a very broad and far-reaching influence in history. The great calligrapher Wang Xianzhi and the great painter Gu Kaizhi of the Jin Dynasty both described the spirit and style of "Luo Shen Fu" in calligraphy and ink, adding rare masterpieces to the calligraphy and painting circles;
In short, "Luo Shen Fu Tu", as a classic in the history of Chinese painting, not only has extremely high value in terms of artistic achievements, but also has important cultural and historical significance;"
After saying that, the staff presented a large-scale color silk "Luo Shen Fu Tu";
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed!
Even if it cannot be auctioned, I am lucky enough to witness the charm of "Luo Shen Fu Tu" today, which is a significant moment in my life experience!
The picture is 27.1cm in length and 572.8cm in width. It is a long scroll that is similar to a comic strip but is composed of multiple storylines.
Each was opened slowly and carefully by six staff members;
Everyone was completely attracted by the lifelike and realistic image of the picture!
The scroll starts from the right end. The first part is the first meeting between Cao Zhi and Luo Shen. At that time, Cao Zhi led his entourage back to the fiefdom from the capital and rested on the shore of Luo River;
The graceful Luo Shen came flying over, and Cao Zhi was deeply attracted by its peerless beauty. The two treated each other with courtesy and affection;
The second part depicts the scene where humans and gods have different paths, and Luo Shen and Cao Zhi have to separate. Cao Zhi stands on the shore, watching Luo Shen leave, with sadness and helplessness in his eyes;
The Luo Shen's leaving lineup is quite large. The cloud chariot is driven by six dragons side by side. Fish and beasts leap out of the water, which is vivid and detailed. The Luo Shen is in the car, looking back at Cao Zhi, showing reluctance to leave;
In the third part, after Luo Shen left, Cao Zhi missed him deeply and took a boat to catch up with Yun Che, but he could no longer find Luo Shen;
Cao Zhi could not control his thoughts and sorrows, so that he could not sleep all night, waiting for dawn by the Luoshui River;
After driving to the fiefdom, Cao Zhi kept looking back, expressing his deep reluctance;
As the scroll slowly unfolds, everyone has been completely brought into the emotions reflected in "Luo Shen Fu Tu". They have an immersive feeling. At the same time, they are all deeply moved by the beautiful love story between Cao Zhi and Luo Shen. deeply shocked;
You could hear a pin drop at the venue;
Some girls even sobbed with emotion;
This is the strong emotional impact that great works bring to people;
The female host seemed like she couldn't bear to interrupt everyone's emotional enjoyment;
After a while, someone spoke slowly and affectionately on the stage;
""Luo Shen Fu Tu" makes us believe that love is not only about romance and love between you and me, but also allows us to appreciate the sadness and beauty of lovers not being able to stay together forever;
Now continuing with our auction;
The auction reserve price for this famous ancient painting is 50 million, and the bidding starts now;"
"60 million!"
"70 million!"
"100 million..."
"200 million!"
Ye Dong shouted;
Ye Dong himself has little interest in collecting calligraphy and paintings;
But seeing Wang Duoduo look lost and lost;
No reaction to the bidding on the stage;
It seems that Yang Yuhe's mind has been completely taken away;
I was thinking about how to change my hairstyle, how to take a shower every day, and what to do to win Yang Yuhe's heart;
So I joined in the fun and quoted 200 million;
Looking at Mr. Ma again, he came here just for this painting;
But because of the auction of Emei treasures, 1 billion has been spent;
What I got instead was a pile of rubble;
Feeling extremely depressed and depressed;
Wait until Ye Dong quotes 200 million yuan;
Then I thought of the purpose of my trip to the auction;
He quickly cheered up and held up the sign;
"250 million!"
"300 million!"
Ye Dong immediately responded without giving in;
But Lin Mengjiao whispered to Ye Dong;
"Husband, I am deeply moved by this painting, but I am afraid that our future will be like Luo Shen and Cao Zhi, obviously in love, but unable to be together..."
Ye Dong noticed Lin Mengjiao's mood;
What's wrong with Sister Lin? !
It’s just a painting, so sentimental;
I originally wanted to take this painting back for collection, and from time to time appreciate the poignant love story between Luo Shen and Cao Zhi;
But now that Sister Lin has this idea;
If you get any money from the auction, just donate it to the National Museum;
At this moment, Mr. Du walked over quietly from the front row;
He sat next to Ye Dong and said respectfully
"Hello, Mr. Ye! By the way, my name is Du Chunhou, and I am the Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Antiques, Calligraphy and Paintings Association! We met just now!"
"Hello, Mr. Du! What can I do for you?"
Mr. Du sighed and said;
"I didn't want to make unreasonable requests to you in private, but this "Luo Shen Fu Tu" is too important to our calligraphy and painting community;
To tell you the truth, our Hong Kong Antiques, Calligraphy and Painting Association received instructions from the Palace Museum in Beijing, which means that "Luo Shen Fu Tu", as a treasure of ancient Chinese art, should belong to the country and should no longer be lost among the people;
So, if possible, let us try our best to bid for this painting;
However, shamefully, our financial resources pale into insignificance compared to yours! "
Ye Dong was stunned, why are you talking to me about this? !
You still have to bid if you have no money? !
Or do you want me to withdraw from the auction?
So he asked in confusion;
"Mr. Du, do you want me to withdraw from the auction?"
Mr. Du shook his head;
"Not only is that not the case, but I also want you to try your best to bid for this painting, then store it properly and wait for the right time for the country to repurchase it..."
Ye Dong was even more confused;
Because as far as he knows;
The only purpose of Ma Shao's visit to the auction house this time is for this "Luo Shen Fu Tu". Why don't you, Mr. Du, communicate with Ma Shao?
So he asked;
"Mr. Du, I still don't understand. Please clarify! We are both Chinese. If the country needs it, we should do our best...
But I heard that Master Ma came here just for this painting, and he is determined to win it. Why don't you explain it directly to him? "
Mr. Du sighed and said;
"Mr. Ye, you don't know something! I really don't agree with the Ma family's way of life. If they get an imitation painting through bidding, they will privately spend money to find a compliance agency to authenticate it, and then confuse the fake with the real one, and then create public opinion and drive up the price. Sell at high prices and make huge profits;
Or they would give imitation paintings as real paintings as gifts to corrupt officials, hiding evil intentions to achieve the family's ulterior motives;"
"This is secondary, but if the auction results in an authentic painting, like this "Luo Shen Fu Tu", what we are really worried about is..."
Mr. Du paused and then said;
"What we are really worried about is that these authentic works are the real treasures of Chinese art. If they are scattered overseas and are not in the hands of us Chinese, it will be even more difficult to recover them..."
That’s how it turns out;
It seems that the Ma family’s character is indeed not very good!
Ye Dong already had some calculations in mind;
So he responded;
"Mr. Du, I understand what you mean, because it is Gu Kaizhi's authentic work, so you want me to take action and prevent Young Master Ma from bidding for it?!
To prevent famous paintings from going overseas? "
Mr. Du nodded hurriedly;
"I am really helpless. Please understand and forgive me, Mr. Ye. Logically speaking, we are strangers to each other, so I really shouldn't make such an unreasonable request to you. But intuitively, I believe you, Mr. Ye!"
"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Du! As long as it is for the benefit of the country, it is our duty as a Chinese!"
Ye Dong readily agreed;
Mr. Du was overjoyed;
He repeatedly bowed his hands;
At the auction site, the bidding for "Luo Shen Fu Tu" was still hot;
The atmosphere was extremely warm;
I saw that Mr. Ma seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasantness just now;
Spirits are high and high;
Hold the sign high;
The price was raised to 600 million;
Thoughts in mind;
Hum, as long as you bid for "Luo Shen Fu Tu";
As soon as I turn around, I can sell it overseas;
At that time, the price will double;
The one billion lost can still be made up for;
After Ma Shao called 600 million;
The whole place fell silent instantly;
It seems that the Ma family is very wealthy!
It doesn’t matter if you lose 1 billion!
Continue to rush for goods;
Everyone is thinking;
This famous painting is definitely an authentic work by Gu Kaizhi;
But if the price goes up again;
It has exceeded its own endurance;
Moreover, there is such a strong competitor as Ma Shao, who is eyeing him eagerly and determined to win;
I have the intention to go higher, but I am forced by my own financial strength;
I had to give up reluctantly;
Ma Shao looked at the crowd in the back row proudly;
Seeing everyone lower their heads;
Deliberately avoid Ma Shao’s eyes;
Can't help but become more arrogant;
shouted to the hostess;
“Hurry up and announce it, hurry up!
It was me, Mr. Ma, who succeeded in bidding!
Everyone on the field, no one gave me any competition!
Haha, "Luo Shen Fu Tu" is finally in the hands of me, Mr. Ma! "
The female host quickly stepped forward and said;
"Currently, Mr. Ma has bid 600 million for this famous painting. It seems he is determined to win it!
Is there anything higher than 600 million?
600 million for the first time;
600 million for the second time;
600 million..."
"One billion!"
Ye Dong shouted;
Looking at the female host in the front row with a smile;
The whole audience was shocked;
One billion;
To others, it is just a number;
But for Ma Shao;
This sound was like a scourge;
Because he just lost one billion in vain;
The pain in my heart is far from over;
Extremely sensitive to the name of this billion;
But it’s over one damn billion nodes again;
Mr. Ma really couldn't hold back his anger;
Angrily walked towards Ye Dong;
