I'm an almighty star

Chapter 892 The Cambridge Museum Exhibition

Finished.

With a clap of hands, a painting is completed.

However, it was said that it was completed, but Mo Bai did not get it to be auctioned by Christie's.

For something like art, if you say it is valuable, it is valuable, if you say it is not valuable, it is not.

Although Mo Bai is well-known, to be honest, he has not gained much fame in the painting circle.

But it can't be said that, if only in the domestic painting circle, Mo Bai's reputation is quite big.

At least, Mo Bai's "Eight Horses" has created a sky-high price.

However, the works Mo Bai painted today are not Chinese paintings.

It's an oil painting.

There is a big difference between Chinese painting and oil painting.

In addition to one belonging to China, the more important reason is the difference in technique.

Many Chinese painting painters may be very well-known in China, but once they are released abroad, they lose their reputation.

Mo Bai chose Van Gogh's works in order to earn money from foreigners.

Therefore, before making money, Mo Bai must make his name in the international painting circle.

The best way to gain fame is to participate in art exhibitions.

For this reason, Mo Bai signed up for the painting exhibition of the Cambridge Museum in England.

However, even though he signed up, Mo Bai didn't just sit still.

If a painter wants to become famous, and if a painter's works need to get the attention of the world, it is not just about painting well.

There are too many underappreciated geniuses in this world.

Even Van Gogh, his paintings were discovered after his death.

Therefore, it is very effective to use some necessary means when attracting the attention of the whole world.

After thinking about it carefully, Mo Bai accepted an interview from a media outlet.

"Mo Baida, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see."

"I heard that you recently sold more than a dozen Picasso paintings at Christie's."

"Yes."

"Where did you get so many paintings?"

"This is a long story..."

"Well, your grandpa is amazing. But, you are so rich, is it necessary to sell paintings?"

"It's just an appearance, I'm poor."

"My God, the media say you are worth hundreds of billions."

"That's just the value, isn't it? Anyway, I'm very poor now."

"Okay, then I will believe it for the time being. You seem to have signed up for a painting exhibition in the Cambridge Museum in England recently?"

"Yes."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​signing up for the art exhibition?"

"It's also poor."

"I... Mo Baida, stop joking."

"It's really poor, not poor, what do you think I paint?"

"Then what painting did you sign up for the Cambridge Museum in England, or is it a Chinese painting?"

"No, it's not, it's an oil painting."

"painting?"

"Aren't you the best at Chinese painting?"

"I can't say that, I am very good at Chinese painting, but I can also paint oil."

"Then what do you think is the difference between Chinese painting and more Western oil painting?"

"Actually, there is not much difference. They are both a way of expressing art. If you want me to say, the only difference is that generally oil paintings are more expensive."

"Mo Baida, why does this sentence sound weird to me?"

The reporter was taken aback.

He felt as if he understood, but he also felt as if he didn't understand.

However, I continued to ask: "There is a lot of competition in the international painting circle, especially oil painting. Do you think you can stand out in such fierce competition? Especially, you are not well-known in the international painting circle."

"Of course, I have absolute confidence."

"Can you tell me why?"

"Because I'm a genius."

"..."

After flipping through the interview, it ended with Mo Bai's funny answer.

Of course, this interview was also quickly seen in major media.

"I'll go, understand why every interview is so dick."

"It's not a dick, it's just funny."

"Because I'm a genius... When I say this, the reporter is speechless."

Although many fans know that Mo Bai is used to teasing.

However, every time I saw Mo Bai's funny answer, I still couldn't help being shocked.

However, in addition to being shocked, many people couldn't help but worry.

"The competition in the international painting circle is too fierce. I don't know if Dabai can find a way out."

"We should believe in Dabai, Dabai is a genius."

"Of course we know that Dabai is a genius, but the international painting world has always been dominated by Western culture. Although Dabai's paintings are not bad, they are all Chinese paintings, and the techniques are biased towards oriental techniques. Even if the paintings are incomparably awesome, this Some people influenced by Western culture can't understand it either."

"You can't say that. Although Dabai painted Chinese paintings before, Dabai may not know Chinese paintings. Just like the painting of eight horses, everyone thought it was a Chinese painting. People don't know that the painting of eight horses not only uses Chinese painting techniques, but also incorporates From this work, we can see that Dabai has already combined Chinese and Western techniques, and his attainments are very profound."

"That's what I said, but so far there has never been a Chinese painter who has had much status in the international painting circle."

This can be seen from the auction prices of calligraphy and paintings.

Although there are many masters in China, such as Wu Guanzhong, Fan Zeng, Huang Zhou... these painters are already well-known in China.

However, the selling price of their paintings in China is only a little over 1 million yuan.

Even Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, who have passed away and are more famous...their painting prices in domestic auctions are not high.

The highest one, Qi Baishi, was auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 9 million yuan not long ago.Although this price seems to have reached the international first-class level, it is not much different from the paintings of internationally renowned painters.But many people don't know that the 9 million yuan was auctioned jointly by 12 groups of works, and only 9 million yuan was sold.If it is replaced by a single picture, the price of each picture cannot even reach 1 million yuan.

But looking back at some foreign painters, a piece of work can easily cost hundreds of millions... Well, it's not RMB, but US dollars.

According to such data, can you say that domestic painters are inferior to foreign painters?
Don't say that Mo Bai is not convinced, even ordinary spectators are not convinced.

The reason is that the international painting circle still regards Western culture as the aesthetic standard.

Even if Mo Bai combines Chinese and Western art, it may not be able to catch the eyes of people in the international painting circle.

Not just domestic spectators.

Mo Bai's interview also shocked many international viewers.

"Damn, who the hell is so confident?"

"You don't know who he is, he is Mo Bai from China."

"Who is Mo Bai?"

"Big fudge, super big fudge."

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.Mo Bai originally had some fame abroad, but when Mo Bai's reputation as a super fool spread, the international audience no longer remembered what Mo Bai was doing.They only know that Mo Bai is a big fool, and a super big fool at that.Even if some spectators know that Mo Bai once played football and wrote novels... but compared to the title of super fool, the others are nothing.

"Okay, come and participate, and see if your work is appreciated by then."

"I'd love to see what genius this guy has."

"Well, I'm near Cambridge, I'll go and have a look then."

Hearing that Mo Bai's fans are confidently preparing to participate in the Cambridge Museum's art exhibition, many international visitors also complained.
