Chapter 1194 : Sky-priced paintings!
All Bazaar Charity Nights have been directly hosted by celebrities, and this year is no exception. Moreover, Bazaar hosts have a characteristic, which is that they are basically relatively stable this year and have a better public image.
But I don’t know if it’s a popular handsome uncle or why this year, but the hosts are Wu Xiubo, Zhang Jiayi and Chen Daoming.
"The spirit of charity lasts for love. For fifteen years, BAZ+R Star Charity Night has joined hands with the star-studded charity messengers to convey love, sow kindness, and contribute youthful and passionate blood to the development of charity in China. Today is honored to stand here and witness with your own eyes that BAZ+R Star Charity Night will pay tribute to every charity fellow traveler with a warm love event."
"Get together for love in the name of goodness. Since January, the charity messengers of the Charity Alliance have successively begun online love relays, setting off a charity storm on the Internet with unprecedented wide influence, igniting the enthusiasm of charity for the whole nation. From waiting for idol live broadcasts, rewarding and donating ambulances, to participating in charity T-shirt charity sales, conveying fashionable charity concepts, fingertip charity makes the gathering of kindness more valuable."
"That's right, this year's BAZ+R Star Charity Night is about to set sail, and the online love relay will also achieve the last 100-meter sprint offline. The highly-watched influential celebrities and celebrities are visiting the BAZ+R Star Charity Night full of warmth to protect charity piety."
As soon as the three handsome uncles appeared, a set of skilled sensational lines came out. As soon as these three veteran drivers, who had been tested in their image and popularity, appeared, they also attracted cheers and applause from fans and participants in the audience.
"Hey, it's not okay for some people to accept it. The older they get, the more handsome they become." Looking at Chen Daoming on the stage, who was joking with a thick voice, which caused applause from the crowd, Li Fanyu sighed with Zhou Qingyu beside him.
The latter covered his mouth and smiled, "Why, you feel a sense of crisis now?"
Li Fanyu said, "Just say it casually."
Just as Li Fanyu turned around while talking and laughing, he saw Cheng Wenze on a table behind and Lin Xuguang whom he had just met in the morning.
He waved, and the two of them raised their hands to respond.
At this time, the host's warmth was almost done.
Although the main selling point of Bazaar Charity Night is stars, its purpose is very clear. That is, to raise funds in the form of auctions.
"This Bazaar Charity Night is different from before." After the warm-up, Wu Xiubo held the microphone and kept it a secret.
Zhang Jiayi immediately supported the role over there, "What's the difference?"
"In the past, celebrities and artists used their works or collections for our entrepreneurs who are committed to charity to buy and raise money. But this year, our entrepreneurs are not willing to be lonely. They contacted our Bazaar preparation team before and took out many unique collections or many meaningful personal items as the goods of this year."
"Oh?" Chen Daoming asked with interest, "What are you?"
"This cannot be said. It will take a while to unveil the veil one by one. Well, I won't say much nonsense. Now, we invite Clauber Auction House to invite our first item from this Bazaar Charity Night!"
As Wu Xiubo waved his hand, the lights on the stage turned off and the spotlights lit up.
Immediately, two staff members wearing white gloves took out a square-shaped lot covered in black cloth.
According to the routine of previous Bazaar charity nights, the first lot to appear first is the kind of thing that is extremely valuable and can immediately attract attention.
So everyone in the audience looked curiously.
Under the gaze of everyone, the auctioneer at Claub Auction House opened up the black cloth on the lot after buying it: "The first lot, "The Last Supper"! This lot was donated by Mr. Chen Jianzhou of Huayi Film and Television Group.
This painting was created in 2001. It was Mr. Zeng Fanzhi's most iconic mask series late work. After the creation was completed, the work was directly collected by the famous collector Ullens and his wife. In order to support Sotheby's Asia for 40 weeks, it was specially taken out to participate in the auction, creating a sky-high price of HK$180 million! As far as I know, the original creator of this work, Mr. Zeng Fanzhi, also came to the scene. Now, we invite two of you to the stage!"
Wow!
The moment the black cloth was untied, a burst of exclamations rang out from the audience.
Although many people present had long heard that Chen Jianzhou would take out this painting for auction, the moment the painting was unveiled, it still shocked everyone.
In recent years, the price of Zeng Fanzhi's paintings has soared like a monkey. The price of this painting reached HK$180 million ten years ago, and I am afraid it is not higher now.
"It is very likely that this painting will become the most expensive item tonight!" someone exclaimed in the audience.
In the audience, Li Fanyu looked at the weird painting and hissed: "Whisper, my aesthetic may be problematic. Do you think this painting... looks good?"
Zhou Qingyu pondered for a moment, "From an aesthetic point of view... no."
"Then why is this painting worth so much money?" Li Fanyu looked at the auctioneer on the stage and said with all his efforts, all kinds of techniques and appearances of the painting, and was amused and crying.
"How to say it," Zhou Qingyu tilted his head slightly, "Hey, Zeng Fanzhi's works can achieve the current value, because the political tendency in the paintings is more in line with the Western image. Another reason is that international auction houses and international galleries have a relationship with the capital operation. The value of things like art is determined by capital. Zeng Fanzhi has strength, but he is also very well-watered."
Because there were other people on this round table, Zhou Qingyu pointed it out until he didn't say much.
Li Fanyu already understood it.
oh,
The price produced by capital speculation!
On stage.
Chen Jianzhou is enjoying this huge attention, "It has always been my personal pursuit of doing a part of China's charity in his spare time. This painting is a work that I personally like very much, and Mr. Zeng Fanzhi is also my friend. Today, I am happy to be able to present this painting to everyone on the Bazaar Charity Night and use it as a medium to contribute to charity."
"Then Mr. Chen, ask a sudden question, guess what price will this painting be sold tonight?" Chen Daoming, who had been watching, suddenly asked.
Chen Jianzhou smiled slightly, "When I first obtained this painting, I paid nearly 200 million. I think the wealthy people present gathered tonight, 250 million, which should be more or less."
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something and smiled slightly at the position where Li Fanyu was sitting.
The entertainment industry is a place where information spreads very quickly. Many people present already know about the small conflict between Chen Jianzhou and Li Fanyu at the party last night.
