Chapter 1840: The news set the world offTranslator: 549690339
One must know that Chinese paintings were still very popular internationally, but modern sculptures had never been auctioned for a high price.
Moreover, Wu Hai himself was a popular superstar in the painting circle. Yuan Zhou was also a popular superstar in the cooking circle. The sum of both of them was at least 2.5.
Then, his friends found out that a piece of news had appeared on the top search list, directly suppressing the relationship of celebrities or the promotion of a new drama.
“The 108 statues of Water Margin and the huazhang Water Margin painting are reproductions of our country’s four great works. The four great works of Chinese culture are the culture engraved in our hearts. It is reported that the two were bought by the France communications magnate for more than 500 million Yuan. This represents our country’s mainstream culture and is sought after by the West. It has created a peak in art auctions in recent years. Wu Hai, eaves Wu, was undoubtedly the leading figure in the Chinese painting world. Yuan Zhou, the chef king of China, is undoubtedly the leader of China’s cooking circle. ”
The above article was a positive report. He believed that it was the official tone. That’s right, this was the news that appeared on people’s daily.
Speaking of which, Wu Hai and Yuan Zhou really grew up together. Yuan Zhou’s fame almost started from nothing, while Wu Hai was only the pillar of the young generation of artists at the beginning. However, he directly removed the words “young generation” from his works one after another.
The two titles of eaves Wu and Chef King were given by Yuan Zhou and Wu Hai based on their own abilities. Now that they appeared in the official report without quotation marks, it was really the official seal and recognition.
Come to think of it, was it strange that Yuan Biao would be added to the cooking rating?
“The paintings and sculptures of Immortals are the two most outstanding young people in our country. Wu Hai and Yuan Zhou worked together for the first time and achieved an astonishing transaction price of 67.728 million euros. Who said that there are no talents among the younger generation of China?” Jinling daily
This news was not only popular in China, because such a high transaction price was a big event in the world of art.
Many people said that art should not be associated with money, but in fact, money was a very good way to measure the value of art.
For example, if one could not understand the artistic value of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” they would be able to tell that the painting was worth hundreds of millions. You still can’t understand it, but you have to say it’s awesome because it’s valuable.
Italy’s more influential newspapers, Corriere .dellaSera, Libero, and La reubblica reported it immediately. Then, the International mainstream media followed the United Kingdom sun, Taishi daily, Japan’s Yumi news, Germany’s picture, Merika today, and so on.
Yuan Zhou appeared in the global newspapers with the identity of not being a chef.
How could this kind of thing be left out of the idiotic netizens? the netizens ‘replies were very happy and the attention was very high.
Ninth brother of the Dragon,”although I know boss Yuan is good at stirring up trouble, but to kill someone … Ah, isn’t it a little inappropriate to make it so big?” [The whole world knows about it now.]
Uncle turtle,”hey, did you guys see what the news said?” I only saw a string of numbers, 67.728 million euros. How much is that? Hurry up and wake me up, is it too late to learn drawing and carving now?
I know Wu Hai’s paintings are worth a lot of money, but what about Yuan Zhou? If I remember correctly, Yuan Zhou should be a chef!
Klmok: “nonsense. Boss Yuan is obviously a master of ice sculpting. I even went to take a look at the ice sculptures in Harbin before.”
In the beginning, Zheng Jiawei was still adding fuel to the fire, but later on, it grew wildly and the heat rose rapidly.
As the person involved, Yuan Zhou didn’t know that. He didn’t think it was unbelievable, because Yuan Zhou usually only played with his phone at night. Usually, he would be pondering about his cooking skills.
Moreover, he was very busy after making a trip to qu Pi County today, so it was normal that he didn’t receive any news.
Now, he felt that everything spread quickly only because he was always paying attention to the internet.
I didn’t go online for more than ten days to see if your news was fast.
Fortunately, as soon as Yuan Zhou returned to Taoxi road and made himself a pot of tea, Zhou Xi arrived on horseback from the hospital.
“Boss Yuan, congratulations. This operation is really awesome.” Although Zhou Xi looked a little tired, he was excited.
This guy had been chatting with Wu Hai for two hours in the hospital, but his enthusiasm was still the same. If Zheng Jiawei didn’t look at the time and knew that Yuan Zhou was almost free when Wu Hai would leave for the restaurant, the two of them would probably talk until dawn. One should know that the auction would only last for two and a half hours.
“Thank you,” he said. For a moment, Yuan Zhou didn’t react. He was even thinking that the matter of recruiting in-name disciples had been spread out.
After all, Yuan Zhou didn’t expect that it could be sold for so much money. Therefore, he basically didn’t pay much attention to the post-production. If he knew that, he would definitely stare at … Ahem, that thing every day. Everyone knew that Yuan Zhou wasn’t a person who loved money.
“The fact that boss Yuan’s sculpture and eaves Wu’s painting can be sold at such a high price proves that both of your skills have reached the peak of perfection. Brother Jiawei asked me to come here and tell boss Yuan about the auction last night in detail.” Zhou Xi’s face was filled with excitement.
“Painting? carving?” Only then did Yuan Zhou react.
He thought of Zheng Jiawei’s proposal before.
Yuan Zhou drew a stroke steadily and sipped his tea. Wu Hai’s paintings were indeed very valuable, but how much could a sculpture be sold for? “Hmm, how’s the situation?”
“Here’s the specific situation. Eaves Wu and Jiawei were originally prepared to go there personally, but the conditions didn’t allow them to do so. I went to the scene. Boss Yuan’s sculpture and eaves Wu’s painting are being auctioned at the Christie’s auction house in Italy. It’s specially noted that they will be auctioned as the finale item. I saw it personally last night. The collectors and merchants are really fighting each other to the death. It’s an unprecedented Grand occasion. ” Zhou Xi had learned idioms quite well and used three idioms in a row.
“The final transaction price is 67.728 million euros, the highest transaction in recent years. It’s simply a milestone in Chinese modern Art. Boss Yuan, you and eaves Wu are both milestone characters!” Zhou Xi was so excited that people who didn’t know him would think that his painting had been auctioned off.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
The tea in Yuan Zhou’s mouth almost spurted out, but as he paid attention to his image, he forcefully swallowed it back and thus choked.
“How much?” Yuan Zhou forced himself to calm down. Then, he took another sip of tea and asked softly,””The wind was a little strong just now, so I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“The hammer price is 60 million euros, and with the Commission, it’s 67.728 million euros.” Zhou Xi repeated what he had just said.
Wu Hai’s paintings were very valuable and the huazhang Water Bank painting was the representative work of the current black beast. Therefore, according to its previous value and the rising market price, it was normal to be auctioned at 30 to 40 million US dollars.
However, it was clear that a large part of the 60 million euros was due to the carving.
Yuan Zhou was a little dumbfounded.
