Chapter 184 - Yuan Wanxia becomes Famous
Chapter 184: Yuan Wanxia becomes Famous
Initially, ordinary people did not pay much attention to the world of painting and calligraphy. In the world of antiques, one was too professional to understand, and the other was not connected to the lives of ordinary people.
However, in the past few years, there was a treasure identification program on national television called “Treasure” that was very popular.
The program had invited many famous masters in the industry to oversee it. Then, it would widely collect valuable collections from all over the country and let the masters discuss and bid.
Due to the fact that these collections that were sent up might be counterfeits or valuable treasures that had been buried among the commoners, they were still very attractive to the audience. In order to be fair, the production team had chosen people of great status in the industry.
Hence, many netizens were more familiar with the judges.
One of the judges was the president of the Chinese Painter Association, Li Qian.
Master Li Qian was famous both in China and internationally. He did not have the airs of a master but was very close to the public. In order to communicate with the public more, Master Li Qian specially opened Weibo.
Master Li Qian often shared some good paintings that he had seen on Weibo recently. He would also randomly pick some netizens to answer questions. Hence, in the hearts of everyone, he was a respected master. Everyone respected him very much.
Today, as usual, everyone came to see what painting Master Li Qian had shared with everyone. They saw that a name had appeared on Master Li Qian’s Weibo account—Yuan Wanxia.
@ Li Qian: “I recently discovered a pearl that has been buried in the calligraphy and painting world for a long time—Yuan Wanxia. I can only use a few words to describe his painting. It’s vivid, natural, and priceless.”
There were two paintings accompanying the photos. One of them was the “Peach Blossom Painting” that Professor Zhang had brought to the Painter Association at the beginning, and the other was “The Map of Central Pine Fisheries” that had appeared at the auction yesterday.
Li Qian was already a big shot in the world of painting and calligraphy. No one had ever seen him praise anyone so much, so they clicked on Yuan Wanxia’s painting that he had posted.
[ Um, although I don’t know anything about paintings, this painting gives me a really different feeling. ]
[ Me too. I just feel like there’s her own unique aura inside. Is this called a distinctive personal style? ]
[ I’m a student of art. I just want to say F*ck. Yuan Wanxia’s control of light and the layout of the images is too amazing. This is probably a height I can only look up to in my life. ]
[ Wow, I’m in the art collection. I was quite angry when I saw Qian Yan’s long text just now. But now, although ten million is a little exaggerated, Yuan Wanxia’s painting is really an independent system. If I were rich, I would be willing to spend ten million to buy the painting I like. ]
[ I don’t know anything about painting or calligraphy, but if I were to choose, I would definitely choose to buy this painting by Yuan Wanxia. When I see this painting, I feel as if I’m in the world that the painter shows. It’s too beautiful. ]
Qian Yan had been looking at the reposts that were close to a hundred thousand times and was about to take the opportunity to promote his painting when Master Li Qian suddenly appeared.
His reputation in the industry was worlds apart from Master Li Qian’s. In addition, Li Qian had released Yuan Wanxia’s works.
Although the netizens did not know much about painting and calligraphy, they had the most basic ability to sense beauty. Hence, the trend quickly changed. Everyone changed from supporting to mocking. Qian Yan could only delete the article that had strong accusatory points.
Qian Yan’s farce and Master Li Qian’s high praise greatly increased Yuan Wanxia’s fame as a painter.
In a single night, he had become a new and talented artist with an extremely high net worth. Countless reporters and media wanted to get first-hand information about him, but they could not find a single trace of him on the Internet.
He became popular very quickly and had a high net worth. In addition, he was extremely mysterious. In an instant, posts about Yuan Wanxia spread across all the major forums and many people came because of his reputation.
Although they did not know who Yuan Wanxia was, he had already relied on his excellent painting skills to miraculously become popular and had a large number of fans on various websites.
In the manor, Xia Wanyuan was also very surprised that her painting could be sold for 10 million. On the other hand, Professor Zhang felt that Xia Wanyuan’s painting itself was extremely valuable. Perhaps a buyer liked this style and was very rich, so Xia Wanyuan did not need to worry too much.
It was time to practice dancing again. When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the dance studio, she realized that there were two additional women in the dance studio today. One of them was a blonde foreigner.
“Hello, Madam. My name is Gina, and she’s Tina. CEO Jun hired us to dance with Madam.”
Ever since the previous argument, Jun Shiling had never come to the dance studio again. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist pulling Xia Wanyuan away.
However, since Xia Wanyuan wanted to do this well, he wouldn’t continue to stop her. He even got Lin Jing to find two champions of the World Dance Competition to teach Xia Wanyuan.
Although Xia Wanyuan’s efficiency in practicing was not bad, Gina and Tina were indeed professionals who had received a lot of guidance in modern scientific theory. They had given Xia Wanyuan a lot of guidance and advice.
Furthermore, it was difficult for her to notice some of the actions she did when she practiced them herself. It was much better with someone guiding and supervising her.
Even though they were already world-class champions, Gina and Tina were still impressed by Xia Wanyuan’s outstanding talent and tenacious determination. They immediately taught her even more, and Xia Wanyuan’s improvement became faster and faster.
“Tang Yin?!!” In the coffee shop, Chen Yun had arranged to have some work handover with Xia Wanyuan’s new manager.
However, he would never have thought that it was actually Tang Yin.
“Brother Chen, long time no see.” Tang Yin stretched out her hand to Chen Yun, who shook it back.
“It has indeed been a long time.” Chen Yun looked at Tang Yin and was very emotional. Back then, the two of them were still in a competitive relationship. He did not expect that after going around in circles, it would actually become a cooperative relationship now. “I didn’t expect that Wanyuan would actually be able to find you. It looks like a new legend is about to emerge in the entertainment industry.”
“Brother Chen, you’re too kind. Let’s talk about Xia Wanyuan’s work situation.”
“Okay.”
After communicating with Chen Yun, Tang Yin felt that Xia Wanyuan was really a mystery. She was clearly a treasure, but in the end, she could mess up her reputation to this extent.
“Since the negative effects of the entertainment industry are deeply rooted in her, let’s start with variety programs and change her image first.”
“I think so too.”
Chen Yun and Tang Yin looked at each other and smiled. With Xia Wanyuan’s personal ability, they believed that the springboard “I’m a big star” would be a great help in restoring her image.
