Chapter 180 Invited Art Salon

Metropolis are not completely filled with industry, but modernization.

On the contrary, when the material level has reached its peak, people in the upper class will pursue spiritual needs. Kaihongxuan's art salon is held every three months, and most of the people who receive invitations are celebrities in the industry and some successful people.

Zhong Yueyi is not a celebrity in the industry or a successful person, but unexpectedly received a letter of invitation from Wang Ge.

Ouyang Guoqing sat in the car and smiled, "I didn't expect that Xiao Kai Wang would appreciate you so much. My invitation letter was written by his disciples. Yours was written by Wang Ge himself, and there was also a signature and a seal."

Zhong Yue looked at the handwriting on the invitation. His brushwork was so powerful that he could be full of strength and his details were flexible. He was indeed a solid foundation. If it were not for the nine forces that were not perfect, Zhong Yue's small calligraphy was probably weaker than him. But now... If it weren't for Wang Ge's reputation, those who know a little bit of calligraphy could tell which one is stronger.

Zhong Yue looked out the car window, and the sidewalk was surrounded by people, and the traffic lights were waiting for a minute.

"Xiao Kai Wang, has the inheritance of the Langya Wang clan not been cut off yet?"

Ouyang Guoqing was a little surprised, "Do you know the Wang family of Langya?"

Ouyang Ming, who was sitting in front of the passenger seat, turned his head and said, "Uncle Er, is it a family of calligraphy?"

"I heard from your grandma that the Wang family of Langya was prominent in the late Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasties. The king and horse shared the world. By the time of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, descendants of the Wang family were still active in the officialdom. Although the popularity is not as good as that of the past, it is no longer known whether there is any foundation."

Zhong Yue smiled and said, "After a thousand years, I'm afraid there are too many descendants of Wang's family to be difficult to verify."

"Yes. Now it is not the feudal era before. This kind of family origin can only add icing on the cake and not provide timely help."

Zhong Yue nodded. Although he, a descendant of Zhong Yao, was popular in public opinion in Huizhou for a while, no celebrities came to visit him. The times have changed.

"What the hell is this art salon going to do?"

Although he was already on the way, Zhong Yue still couldn't figure out what this art salon was doing? Could it be that so many people went there just to read the lacquer book work?

Ouyang Guoqing smiled and said, "Simply put, it is to be familiar with your face. Like the entertainment industry, there are works that are innovative and naturally popular. There are no more eye-catching works that are born. You can only rely on your old capital and make a living in such a social circle. After all, let others not forget you, and occasionally ask inscriptions and sell some clumsy works, you can make a living."

Zhong Yue smiled. It was really 360 professions, and every profession has its own tricks. But that's true. The outdated calligrapher is probably like the outdated internet celebrities and outdated stars. He relies on a pen to make a living. No one asks you to write inscriptions, so how can you make a living?

Ouyang Guoqing smiled and said, "So, the most popular art salons are often two types of people."

“What two types?”

"One is the popular calligraphers nowadays. Some have won some awards, and some have just published some books. With such hype, there are naturally more people who have asked him to write inscriptions. As for another, it is a 'subter' like me."

Zhong Yue and Ouyang Ming sneered, haha, the sucker, this description is very appropriate.

If you are engaged in the art industry, you don’t want your works, and even if you talk about it, your money will not come into your pocket. This is the era, and the business atmosphere is too strong. Even a famous calligrapher has to make a living. He can’t say that he doesn’t bow his back for five dou of rice, and then guards his own works and eats rice paper, pen and ink to make a living.

Then a financially-capable Confucian businessman like Ouyang Guoqing has become the financial supporters of artists. After all, most working-class people need to support their families. Whoever buys calligraphy and painting works that are often thousands or tens of thousands of yuan will basically be bought and collected by rich people.

"Isn't there any communication calligraphy?"

Ouyang Guoqing smiled and said, "Of course there are. There are also people who exchange calligraphy and paintings. If you want to exhibit your own works, just buy a display cabinet on the spot. If you like it, you will naturally contact you. However, in the art salons like this, where celebrities gather together, few people will hang their works except for the first-line calligraphy masters in Shanghai, so as not to be slandered."

Zhong Yue remembered and asked, "I saw that when I got on the bus, I brought a painting scroll. Could it be that Mr. Ouyang is also good at calligraphy and painting?"

Ouyang Guoqing smiled and said, "My handwriting is difficult to hold on to the scene. If Wang Ge really causes trouble at the auction, there will be a good show later."

"That's how I thought I was preparing for it." Zhong Yue said, holding a scroll in his hand from the back seat next to him.

"This is……"

"The original lacquer book was delivered by Mr. Xi yesterday."

Ouyang Guoqing smiled intentionally and said, "It seems that Mr. Xi wants to make trouble too."

"The same thing, I will not offend others if someone does not offend me."

...

...

Xuhui gathers more than a hundred scientific researches in famous universities.

The center of Shanghai cultural industry.

The car parked on the quiet road, and Zhong Yue looked at the building, "Is this Kai Hongxuan?"

"That's right."

"I gave it a elegant name for Bizhai, but there was nothing decent at all. I was a little bit selling dog meat with the title of sheep."

Ouyang Ming got out of the car and said, "Brother Yue, if you want to build a study like you said in Shanghai, it would be an illegal building. And every inch of land is valuable, and the land is worth hundreds of millions. Who would use it to build a study?"

Zhong Yue smiled embarrassedly, "That's right."

Several people walked towards Kaihongxuan. After entering the building, the interior design had a hint of classical flavor. On the side, the fish pond was swimming in the water, and there were various colors of koi underneath. On the rockery, there were also a few small bonsai as decorations.

A Chinese painting that is more than one meter wide is vividly revealed in front of you.

Ouyang Guoqing smiled and said, "Kaihongxuan's Three Treasures, this "Thousand Peaks" by Li Keran caused a lot of sensation back then."

Li Keran, this is Qi Baishi's disciple and a famous Chinese painting master in modern times. His painting skills are exquisite and unique, especially freehand landscape paintings, with full condensation of images. Zhong Yue looked over this painting "Thousand Peaks", which was thick and thick, magnificent, and had a sense of immersion.

"Three treasures, what are the other two treasures?"

Ouyang Guoqing smiled and said, "The other two are the "Mo Grapes" by Xu Wei of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the rumor that it is forty-seven volumes of "Wang Family Letters".

"Forty-seven volumes of "Wang Family Letters"?"
