Inherit For Three Thousand Years

While Lu Jinguang looked at Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao was also looking at him. Although Lu Jinguang’s current main identity is a gallery owner, he does not look like a businessman, but more like a middle-aged artist with great accomplishment.

After seeing Xiao Yao, Lu Jinguang took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Xiao, I am Lu Jinguang, the chairman of Jingyuan Gallery. I'm taking the liberty to come here. Excuse me."

"Mr. Lu’s Jingyuan Gallery is very impressive. Many young painters have become famous under the help of Mr. Lu. It is an honor for Mr. Lu to be here."

Xiao Yao and Lu Jinguang are not familiar with each other, so they don’t want to waste time on him. They ask straightforwardly: “This contemporary artist exhibition is so big, Mr. Lu should be very busy, right? Why do you have time to meet me alone?”

"I came here this time to inform Mr. Xiao of good news. Two of Mr. Xiao’s works are very popular among the public. In the past few days, many collectors have made offers to our Jingyuan Gallery. The price is from the first one or two. One million quickly rose to seven or eight million. Before I went out today, an old collector called me. He liked your two paintings very much and gave a price of 10 million each. This offer is quite sincere. I wonder if Mr. Xiao intends to sell these two works?"

Lu Jinguang didn't immediately express his intentions, but planned to use the two highly sought-after works on the exhibition to explore Xiao Yao's meaning.

Xiao Yao directly refused without hesitation, "I'm sorry, I have no plans to sell these two works."

"Does Mr. Xiao think the price is low? Or do you have other ideas?" Lu Jinguang continued to ask.

"The price is indeed too low, far below my expectations. And I don't have the idea of ​​selling these two works. I personally like these two works very much and plan to collect them for a long time."

"According to artistic achievements, the price of 10 million is indeed low." Lu Jinguang first affirmed Xiao Yao's views. "But there is also a market for art. If a price is given according to the law of market value, such The price is very sincere. Even if there is some room for price increase, it should be almost at the top. Will Mr. Xiao listen to my analysis?"

"Listen thoroughly, Mr. Lu, please say." Xiao Yao really doesn't understand the promotion of the works of the new painter. Considering Cheng Yu's future development, he is willing to listen to the advice of an expert, Lu Jinguang.

"First of all I want to affirm Mr. Xiao's artistic achievements. I am also a painter myself. Of course, my talent in painting is very average and I have not achieved much so far, but my appreciation ability is still recognized. I think Mr. Xiao The artistic achievement in oil painting is already at the top level in China."

Lu Jinguang changed his words, "But artistic achievements cannot be equated with the price of art. The level of art is a matter of opinion. There is no objective judgment standard. The market price of art is recognized. There are many factors that need to be considered. , The artistic height of the work is only one factor."

"Specifically, when analyzing Mr. Xiao’s works, the only advantage is that Mr. Xiao’s works are well received and appreciated by painters, critics and collectors in the industry. This starting point is very high. However, Mr. Xiao is too young and you will be in the future. At least there are still decades of artistic life. If you are interested, maybe you will create a dozen or even more similar works. If your works enter the market in large quantities, the impact on the price will be great. These Uncertain factors will affect the price of your work."

The reason given by Lu Jinguang is very realistic, “In addition, for the works of genius painters to enter the art market, it also needs a process to be universally recognized by all walks of life. There are many such examples in history, and Mr. Xiao is also an expert. I don’t need to give examples one by one."

"I am a gallery owner. I can't say that I am authoritative for the pricing of the works of new artists, but at least I am a senior person in the industry. From the perspective of promotion, the works of new artists enter the art market for the first time, and the price is very important. Generally speaking. Under circumstances, our gallery, as a promoter, must push up the price of works as much as possible. However, this is only a general situation, and Mr. Xiao belongs to a special situation."

Speaking of this, Lu Jinguang's tone paused.

"Where is it special?" Xiao Yao asked in cooperation.

Lu Jinguang drank a sip of his tea, and then he continued without hesitation: "In particular, Mr. Xiao seized the best opportunity, and also produced the best works, which won market recognition in one fell swoop. This time, a contemporary artist. The art exhibition is hosted by the Bali Academy of Fine Arts and co-organized by many national art academies. It is the most influential art exhibition in the past 10 years. Mr. Xiao's works have been selected for this exhibition and it has been a success."

"What is particularly rare is that Mr. Xiao’s works are still so outstanding. They have now been universally recognized by the domestic art circle, and they have gone further on the road to success. If you can get Western art circles in the next Paris exhibition Acknowledged, Mr. Xiao will probably have a place in the world art world in the future."

Xiao Yao was indifferent to Lu Jinguang’s compliments, and Lu Jinguang had to continue: “This kind of special fortune is not something everyone can have. Although Mr. Xiao is a new painter, his future prospects are unlimited. This point should be shared by many people. It can be seen. But what I want to say is how to seize this special opportunity so that Mr. Xiao can go more smoothly in the future, which will test the planner's ability very much."

After talking about it for so long, finally talking about the purpose of Lu Jinguang's coming, Xiao Yao smiled and asked: "If I don't understand the mistake, what does President Lu mean to be this planner?"

"It does mean this." Before Xiao Yao asked, Lu Jinguang began to spare no effort to promote himself. "Our Jingyuan Gallery is the most successful gallery in China. We have rich experience in the promotion and promotion of young painters. Mr. Xiao shouldn't You think I’m bragging?"

"This is recognized in the industry, please continue to say Mr. Lu."

Now that Xiao Yao recognizes this, Lu Jinguang feels that he has a greater grasp, "In recent years, we have increased our cooperation with many European art institutions, and the influence of our Jingyuan Gallery in the European art world should not be underestimated. Yes. In this exhibition of contemporary artists, CAMC was able to get 80 pieces of exhibition quota, and our Jingyuan Gallery has made great efforts from it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for CAMC to submit such an important exhibition. Give us Jingyuan Gallery to undertake it."

"Mr Lu wants to tell me that after my work is exhibited in Paris, Jingyuan Gallery is also capable of promoting and promoting it in Europe. Does that mean?" Xiao Yao asked.
