Chapter 115 113. What is the value of artworks?
boom!
Ji Fa closed the car door casually, her face flushed slightly and panting slightly, she drank a lot of wine tonight, but the results were still very good.

"You don't need to come here tomorrow morning." Ji Fa turned around and said something to his driver, then waved him away.

The driver in the car glanced at Ji Fa outside the car, who was still awake, turned around and left.

After the car left, the entrance of the villa was suddenly plunged into darkness. Ji Fa rubbed her temples, kicked off her high heels and held them in her hand. Her white and tender feet looked so good on the red brick floor.

Seeing that none of the rooms in the villa were lit, Ji Fa twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, expressing his contempt for Chen Li'an's fighting power.

It's only been less than two hours, and this is the end of sleep?

It's really fancy but not useful!Ji Fa, who was a bit overly active but not sober, silently despised Chen Li'an in his heart.

But when she opened the door and went in, she froze, what a strange sound!

Ji Fa looked at the randomly scattered shoes at the door, as well as the crooked sofa that had been hit, and his active brain instantly made up the picture.

Especially with the groans and roars coming from upstairs, Ji Fa felt ridiculous for his evaluation of Chen Li'an just now.

How can this be fancy but not useful? This is a bit exaggerated.

Ji Fa is now very hesitant whether to go upstairs, what should he do if he bumps into something he shouldn't, it's better to pretend he didn't see it
Ji Fa shook her head, walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to drink a big gulp of ice water, her mind was a little clearer, and she couldn't help shouting loudly when she heard the commotion upstairs: "Slow down the commotion! I still have to sleep!"

The upstairs was quiet for a while, and then became lively again in less than 5 minutes.

Deceiving too much!

Ji Fa angrily walked to the sofa and sat down, only to hear a loud rumble outside, followed by the sound of heavy rain falling.

The sudden storm came just in time, covering up the noise upstairs, Ji Fa rubbed her temples, lay on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
When Jifa woke up the next morning, she found that she was sleeping on her own bed and had changed into her pajamas.

"Get up." Bai Qing stood at the door with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Ji Fa who had just woken up and said, "Go downstairs and have breakfast."

Ji Fa couldn't help stretching, and didn't ask herself why she appeared in her bedroom. Anyway, she didn't lose her body and she didn't suffer a loss.

In the restaurant downstairs, Chen Li'an ate a sandwich and missed the delicious and juicy buns in Beijing. I wonder if there is a Chinese restaurant in Paris.

Ji Fa, who was sitting opposite, took a sip of milk and felt that his hangover had eased a lot before he said to Chen Li'an and Bai Qing: "Aren't you curious about how the conversation went yesterday? How many people are interested in your paintings?"

Chen Li'an rolled up a fried egg with a fork, put it in his mouth and muttered, "I'm not curious, we trust you."

Chen Li'an's words moved Ji Fa a little, and his gaze stayed on Bai Qing for a while, Bai Qing said indifferently: "I'm not curious either, I believe in your ability."

Ji Fa: "." Although I was very moved, why did I feel like I was being fooled.

However, Ji Fa still couldn't help but wanted to share the results of her hard work. She leaned forward and said proudly: "There are eight collectors who are interested in your paintings and will help you promote them during this period. The auction will drive up the price together."

Chen Li'an was not infected, and asked calmly, "What about the actual transaction price?"

After being choked by Chen Li'an, Jifa's interest immediately diminished, and he pushed the empty milk cup in his hand, and said angrily, "Why don't you know how to cooperate at all?"

Bai Qing couldn't help laughing beside him. Seeing Ji Fa's aggrieved look, he quickly said, "Don't talk to him, it's time for a sage."

Sage moment?Ji Fa recalled the joke made by Chen Li'an once, remembered the meaning of this word, felt that she had been hurt twice, looked at the milk left at the corner of Bai Qing's mouth expressionlessly, and bitterly picked up the milk in front of her and drank it in one gulp go down.

"Why do you drink mine?" Bai Qing said a little speechlessly.

Ji Fa licked the corner of her mouth and said, "I just like you!"

The ones you snatch are the best.

Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa's triumphant look, wiped his mouth after eating some white and tender egg whites, and asked, "So what's the final real price?"

Ji Fa stretched out his palm and looked at Chen Li'an and Bai Qing and said, "For the two groups of works, you can get 58 pounds regardless of all the sharing and costs."

Chen Lian always finds it strange that the British pound is used as the currency unit in France, but he is quite satisfied with the price. Strictly speaking, this is the price for the first time he and Bai Qing bought works. It is already very good to get 58 High prices too.

According to the current exchange rate, it is converted into RMB 730 million. The two groups of works add up to a total of 45 pieces, and a single work is equivalent to about [-].

Now that he is about to step into the ranks of multi-millionaires, Chen Li'an can't help but sigh, "playing" with art is really making money!It's full of tricks!No wonder later designing a LOGO without right angles can earn millions.

In such a routine, I don't know how much money Ji Fa made from it, and it is estimated that it will not be less than 40.
Bai Qing was not too happy when he heard so much money. The price is not that high compared to those real masters. Isn't it just a few million RMB, which is no different from hundreds of thousands. Anyway, he has nothing to use the money for.

Ji Fa looked at the two people who were not very excited, and wondered if he had mispronounced the price just now, and couldn't help saying it again: "58 pounds!"

"Yes, I heard it." Chen Li'an looked at Ji Fa strangely, not knowing why she repeated it again.

Bai Qing also glanced at Ji Fa strangely, then lowered his head and continued eating sausage and eggs.

Ji Fa: "." Do these two people have no idea about money?Hundreds of thousands of pounds!Just this reaction? !
"Two lunatics!" Ji Fa couldn't help complaining, and then cursed softly, "It's two idiots!"

However, when Ji Fa thought that he could earn hundreds of thousands of pounds, he was still very happy. This was just the debut of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing. When they became more and more famous in the future, he could earn even more!

Oh, by the way, I also spent 5 yuan to buy Chen Lian's real debut photography work. According to the current price, I have already earned at least 15 yuan, and there will be more and more in the future!
There is not much room for appreciation of artworks, but for the works of new artists, the room for appreciation is very large.

At the beginning, it may only sell for tens of thousands or even thousands of yuan, but after packaging and marketing, as time goes by, tens of thousands of yuan will become hundreds of thousands of millions!

Of course, most works of art will reach their limit when the price rises to this price, unless it is those top artists who are world-renowned, their works can push this price to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

It will take a long time and enough luck for Chen Li'an and Bai Qing to achieve this price for their works.
The exhibition in Paris did not last long, just seven days, but in these seven days, many people in the Paris art world have remembered the names of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing.

Many artists and art critics highly admire the works of Chen Li'an and Bai Qing, and even several art collectors publicly expressed their willingness to spend 100 million pounds to buy their works.

Chen Li'an knew that Ji Fa was promoting it behind the scenes, so he didn't care much about these remarks. Apart from the occasional need to cooperate with Ji Fa in performances, he and Bai Qing almost went around Paris.

I visited all the large and small museums and art galleries in Paris, and took group photos at many famous scenic spots.

Compared with Ji Fa who was busy and overwhelmed, Chen Li'an and Bai Qing were like two tourists traveling abroad.

Bai Qing, who wandered around all afternoon, sat on a chair in Concorde Square, looked at the fountain in front of him and said what he thought: "Where do you think the value of art is reflected? Just like the sculpture on this fountain, it should go to How to measure its value."

"You want to ask about commercial value, right? I don't need to talk about cultural value and aesthetic value, you understand." Chen Li'an took a sip of water and turned to look at Bai Qing and said: "Commercial value involves many aspects, such as fame, high-quality goods, scarcity, Novelty and so on will affect the commercial value of artworks.”

Bai Qing brushed his hair and looked at Chen Li'an and asked seriously: "Then what points do we have?"

Chen Li'an explained casually: "Except for the first one, we have all of them. Of course, the most important thing is the last two. We are scarce enough and novel enough."

After listening to Chen Li'an, Bai Qing leaned on the chair and looked at the clouds floating in the sky and said: "I always feel that it is not accurate to measure art with money. It is too material and our works cannot be measured by hundreds of thousands of pounds."

"But this is the simplest and most direct way to measure." Chen Li'an stretched out his hand to hold Bai Qing's hand and said, "It's not wrong for you to overestimate cultural and aesthetic values, but these values ​​are the most difficult to judge, and it is not Everyone can judge the value of the artwork itself by these values."

To put it simply, how can people who don't understand artwork know that the artwork is great?Money is the easiest and most direct way.

"I understand, I just feel that we put so much passion and enthusiasm into the creation, injecting all our emotions and cognition into the work, but in the end it is simply represented by a few banknotes."

Bai Qing's cognition is very artistic, but not everyone can feel those emotional values, and there is no way to define specific values. People who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it feel superfluous at a glance. At this time How do you measure the value of a work of art itself.

Chen Li'an patted Bai Qing's hand and said, "Don't worry about these issues, instead of thinking about them, you might as well think about what to eat tonight."

"You're right, it's really meaningless to think about these things." Bai Qing put away his messy thoughts and said, "You decide what to eat. I only want to eat Chinese food now, but there's none here."

"How about we cook it ourselves? Jifa's kitchen is very good."

"Then I want to order!"

"it is good!"
