My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 174
"Old Zhao, can I take a photo with you?"

Suddenly, a young man came over and asked Mr. Zhao with anticipation and excitement, as if fans had seen their idol.

"Your name is Xu Xian?" Elder Zhao said with a smile.

The young man became even more excited. He didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be able to call out his name.

He nodded quickly: "Yes! My name is Xu Xian."

"Hmm! Your painting "The Badaling Great Wall" is very good and very interesting. Keep up the good work!" After speaking, they cooperated with each other and took a photo together as a souvenir.

After filming, he introduced: "This is Fang Xing, the funder who organized this award."

"Boss Fang, of course I know him! Can we take a photo together?"

Xu Xian's excited and excited mood has been maintained for many days.Ever since he learned that his work was shortlisted for the Grand Prize of World Painting, he counted down the time almost every second, looking forward to today's arrival.

Influenced by his grandfather, he has been fond of Huajie painting since he was a child.

Over the years, he has invested a lot of energy and time, and even left behind his studies.For this matter, my parents often complained to the old man in private.

What is wrong with teaching children?Isn't it misleading students to teach such a hopeless thing?

But Xu Xian still persisted, hoping that one day his paintings would be valued and appreciated by others.

When he learned that there was such an event, he took out one of his favorite works for the competition without saying a word.He himself did not expect that "The Badaling Great Wall" would be nominated for the grand prize as soon as it entered the competition.

Xu Xian's grandfather heard the good news and brought him to Yunwu Village two days in advance.

The whole family is very happy, even if they don't win the prize in the end, it is still a great honor!

"So you painted "The Badaling Great Wall"! That painting is really good." Fang Xing also took a photo with him, and followed him to the front of the painting.

Xu Xian's grandfather is explaining his grandson's favorite work to others.

This painting is a combination of realism and ink painting, which is why Mr. Zhao said it is interesting, and it is also the biggest feature of this painting.

On the side, a boss who admired it for about ten minutes said: "I bought this painting. If it doesn't win, I will pay 30 yuan, and if it wins, I will pay 60 yuan."

An award will greatly enhance the reputation of this painting, so it is normal for the price to double.

Xu Xian and his grandfather were overjoyed, whether they won the award or not, they have gained a lot this time!Even if it is 30 yuan, it is the total income of Xu Xian's parents for almost two years.

The most important thing is that Xu Xian can make a living by selling paintings in the future.The family members no longer have to worry about his future. It doesn't matter if he falls behind in his studies.

Once winning, the bonus is 100 million, plus the price of 60, a total of 160 million.All their savings are not that much.

As long as you don't spend too much money, a painting can eat up half your life.

"Thank you boss! Thank you boss!"

Elder Zhao on the side smiled and said nothing, but he knew that this painting was indeed selected as the grand prize of the first Yunwu Village Cup World Painting, and it was determined by him after all the criticism.

In fact, the level of the other two paintings is not bad, and the artist is still an old painter with a better reputation.

However, Mr. Zhao is focused on giving awards to young people to inspire the younger generation.

As for the other two boundary paintings that were nominated for the grand prize, they were also favored by collectors, and they were priced at two prices, one was more than 20 yuan, and the other was more than 30 yuan. If they won the award, they would both be doubled.

In this way, everyone was happy before the awards were presented.

The landscape paintings were the most lively, and the three paintings that were nominated for the grand prize were all of extremely high standards.One of them has already been bid by collectors for a sky-high price of more than 360 million.

The artist of the work turned out to be an unknown old man named Ling Yimin, dressed like a farmer.

As far as I know, painting is just his hobby.He used to be a worker at the waterworks, and after retirement he did some street work, mainly because he couldn't take time off.

In my free time, I just raise flowers and birds, and play chess. These two hobbies are not much different from other old men.

Painting has been his favorite since he was a child.I went to visit my teacher before, but people said that he was not talented and refused to accept him.

At this time, several reporters were interviewing him.For example, before the award was officially presented, his painting fetched a sky-high price of more than 360 million, what was his feeling and so on.

Many people are envious.

Once the painting is awarded, everyone knows that the price will soar a lot, and it is normal to exceed 400 million.

Plus the bonus of 100 million, that's more than 500 million.

Many people earn less than 500 million in their lifetime!As for others, a painting is worth a lifetime of others.No wonder there is a saying: Humans are better than dead people!
The old man Ling Yimin looked very indifferent, and said with a smile: "It's a great honor to be appreciated and highly praised by everyone. No matter how much money this painting sells in the end, it will be donated to the Loving Home Nursing Home."

He explained that the Loving Home Nursing Home is a nursing home near his home, and he might move into it in a few years.

There were quite a few of his old friends in that nursing home, so he didn't feel bad about throwing the money into it.Children and grandchildren have children and grandchildren's blessings, so they don't need him to take care of them at all, and there is no need to leave them.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused everyone's admiration.

In Xu Qing's live broadcast room, the audience praised the old man.

It is still not clear to everyone that Ling Yimin's descendants all immigrated overseas, regardless of the elderly.It is in this way that the elderly decided to donate all their property to nursing homes.

Undoubtedly, if those children knew that the old man sold a painting at a sky-high price of several million, they would definitely run back and serve as their ancestors.

Sometimes, loved ones are also so realistic.

"This painting is of the highest level among all our works. Whether it is the painting technique, content, or artistic conception, it is a top choice.

To be honest, some so-called masters of traditional Chinese painting may not be able to paint such masterpieces. "Old Zhao whispered to Fang Xing.

have to!Hearing this, Fang Xing was basically sure that the painting in front of him would definitely win the award.

As for calligraphy, there are three types of awards: regular script, running script, and cursive script.

Whether it is cursive script, running script, or regular script, the finalists for the grand prize are all three works, which also represent the highest level of this competition.

Among them, the grand prize of regular script has a very special writer, a minor who is still in high school.

His work was shortlisted for the Grand Prize, which was somewhat criticized. Some so-called "experts" went viral on the Internet, saying that a boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old was shortlisted for the Grand Prize, which is simply child's play.

However, that "expert" was soon dug out. He was a master of ugly calligraphy. The most speechless thing was to draw ghost symbols on the human body. However, he was still very complacent, thinking that he was an innovation in calligraphy.
