Kyoto Calligraphy Association.
Zhong Bingwen and Qin Simin are appreciating five carefully mounted calligraphy works.
One of them is particularly eye-catching.
This is a six-foot folio (180*49) work, in the style of cursive writing, but not wild cursive writing. The calligraphy is written horizontally, and it is the opening words of"Romance of the Three Kingdoms","The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward".
After being mounted, this work is hung there, making people feel extremely grand.
Although it is not the kind of calligraphy style with big openings and closings, the structure and effect presented between the words appear refreshing and generous.
With multiple buffs, it feels very appreciated at first glance.
This work was obtained by Jiang Yichen through the system's 2 knives for 1 knives.
The original Yuquan Xuan paper was 100*55, and now it has been changed to 200*55 for 1 knives.
Jiang Yichen also specifically asked the system that as long as he is willing to change, any size of paper can be synthesized.
But the total amount is fixed.
This work is a work that Jiang Yichen has high hopes for, so he uses all his strength.
The best cursive writing at present.
The best rice paper and Hanzhen brush, the best ink���It is also high-quality ink from Zhong Bingwen.
The other four pieces are slightly inferior, not that big, either six feet three-fold or three feet single.
The overall calligraphy attainments have reached the level of masters, and they also use the Yichen style newly created by Jiang Yichen. It has not been officially named yet. According to the advice of teacher Zhong Bingwen, it is temporarily unnamed and let those in the calligraphy circle discuss the naming.
Naming it yourself is a bit like Wang Po selling melons.
Of course, Jiang Yichen himself does not sell it, but Zhong Bingwen, as a teacher, will help promote and publicize it.
"Old Qin, how much do you think these works can be auctioned for?"
Qin Simin admired them very much and was reluctant to auction them off."They are all calligraphy works of very high artistic level! If we go by the prices of previous calligraphy and painting exhibitions, they will be at least one million and five hundred thousand or six hundred thousand.""
"However, the final price it can be sold at depends on the auction situation."No matter how good a work is, it is only valuable if someone pays for its value.
Otherwise, it is just talk.
Zhong Bingwen carefully looked at the five works again and said,"In my opinion, this 'Rolling Yangtze River' is the best work, with great charm and a sense of concentration and comfort."
"The starting price I gave to the auction house was 5 million"
"5 million? It’s so high, will it fail to sell?"Qin Simin was a little shocked.
It is rare for contemporary famous calligraphers to have a work that can reach a price of 5 million yuan. Some works that are hyped up to tens of millions are mostly because the calligraphers have passed away and the works have become swan songs, which further demonstrates their value.
This is also what many people joke about, why some famous works are not valuable, that is because the people are not dead yet.
Zhong Bingwen smiled heartily,"I believe there will be many people vying for it."
"A while ago, several bosses contacted me through Su Zhenglin, wanting to get some more of Jiang Yichen's calligraphy works."
"Haha, then you shouldn't be afraid."
Qin Simin smiled.
"By the way, Lao Zhong, do you feel that the quality of the rice paper used in this work is different?"
While speaking, Qin Simin reached out and touched it gently with his gloved hand.
Zhong Bingwen nodded,"I saw the difference as soon as he sent it to me. This kind of rice paper is a bit like Yuquan rice paper, with excellent quality. Usually, one cut costs at least tens of thousands of yuan."
"Hiss, such expensive paper?" Qin Simin was a little surprised.
Zhong Bingwen nodded,"Of course, I don't know where this guy bought it from, but he knows how to use the best works on this paper."
"The whole spirit and energy are fully vividly displayed on the paper under the influence of my high-quality Hui ink!"
Zhong Bingwen, filled with emotion, regarded it as a treasure.
If he did not have so much money, he would have wanted to take a picture of it himself.
But he also knew that this work needed to be shown to other people.
This was Jiang Yichen's stepping stone to officially enter the calligraphy circle and achieve success.
Qin Simin kept nodding,"This kid is really talented. Chinese calligraphy may depend on him in the future!"
"Well, it's almost time. Is Yichen here?" Zhong Bingwen looked at his watch and asked curiously.
As he was speaking, Jiang Yichen's voice came over.
"teacher!"
"Hey, mention the devil and he will appear." Zhong Bingwen laughed and turned around.
Jiang Yichen walked into the calligraphy room wearing a sweater.
Qin Simin said jokingly,"Jiang Yichen, these calligraphy works of yours are amazing. I really can't bear to auction them off!"
Jiang Yichen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled,"Professor Qin, it's just words, you've already bought several of them."
Qin Simin's old face flushed,"Those I took were all your practice works. Besides, the bulk of them are with Old Zhong."
"……"Okay, come and help." Zhong Bingwen took the calligraphy and rolled it up carefully.
Qin Simin also hurried over to help. The three of them took the scroll and went downstairs.
Qin Simin asked again,"Can you drive my car?"
"No, I'm tired of driving a manual transmission. Take my car." Jiang Yichen waved his hand. He had tried driving a manual transmission in Kyoto last time and it was really uncomfortable.
Qin Simin laughed,"Okay, let's take your car."
After knowing that Jiang Yichen was starting his own business, the two old men were very calm.
Of course, they also felt it was normal for him to buy a car.
After all, at the calligraphy and painting exhibition, three of Jiang Yichen's works were sold at a sky-high price of 5 million yuan. Jiang Yichen in front of them looked like a college student, but he was very rich!
He got in Jiang Yichen's Audi A6L.
The two were not surprised after seeing it, and sat in the back seat and chatted.
After a while, they arrived at the auction house.
Kyoto Jinxing Auction House.
This auction house is also a well-known large auction house in Kyoto.
The main items auctioned are some jewelry treasures, famous calligraphy and painting, and some special items.
This auction is mainly the calligraphy and painting exhibition of the Calligraphy Association, and some works were selected for auction.
The auction prices are also different, with many starting from several million yuan. The auction price ranged from as low as 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
Jiang Yichen's calligraphy works broke through his own style, and Su Zhenglin generously took out 5 million to buy three pieces of calligraphy at the calligraphy and painting exhibition, which pushed up Jiang Yichen's fame.
This also made the Calligraphy Association and the auction house recognize Jiang Yichen's works.
Originally, only two pieces could be given a quota, but Zhong Bingwen was very persistent and added all of Jiang Yichen's works.
For Zhong Bingwen, this was the first time that Jiang Yichen officially displayed his works in the calligraphy circle and the circle of wealthy people. The value of this work was related to Jiang Yichen's fame.
Originally, he didn't want to take them all to the auction house.
But he was unwilling not to display such good works.
Even the two most ordinary ones still have very high calligraphy attainments and are worth a lot of money.
