Chapter 398: The National Stage Praises the Princess
Ever since Xia Wanyuan began to post and draw on Yuan Wanxia’s account, more and more people liked Yuan Wanxia, and there were even more people who came to urge her to draft.
Many people had the desire to buy the paintings that Yuan Wanxia had posted on her Weibo account. Not only were there people from the 2D world, but there were also many rich business collectors.
Under Jun Shiling’s suggestion, Xia Wanyuan opened the purchasing channel on Weibo and placed all the photos she had posted in her Weibo shop. However, she did not set a price. Instead, she adopted an auction mode where the highest bidder would win.
Reality proved that there were still many rich people in China, and Yuan Wanxia’s painting skills were indeed very good.
In addition, Yuan Wanxia’s Weibo account was operating well and her fame was increasing. Many people felt that Yuan Wanxia’s painting would gradually increase in value, so there were quite a number of people who bought it and the price they offered was higher.
The most expensive landscape painting was sold for 3.6 million dollars, and the second painting was sold for 120,000 dollars.
It had only been a day since the Weibo shop opened, but it had already earned 9.9 million RMB. This attracted everyone’s attention.
After all, there were some shops on Weibo, but most of them sold clothes, jewelry, snacks, and so on. This was the first time someone had sold paintings so openly and at such a high price.
[ Oh my god, I thought that artists were all immortal and not tainted by the world. I didn’t expect them to love money. Isn’t this too expensive? How can a lousy painting be sold for so much money? ]
[ The person in front, it’s fine if you don’t know how to appreciate it. Can you not come out and embarrass yourself? They didn’t set the price themselves. If the buyer is willing to pay such a high price, can you control it? ]
[ Speaking of which, does Old Yuan lack money? Is there a need to lower your status and run to Weibo to set up a stall to sell money? ]
[ I don’t know how this Yuan Wanxia became popular. I don’t think I’ve seen her win any big awards. I don’t even know what she looks like, but all of them follow the trend and like her. Now that she’s here to collect money, all of them are rushing to send him money. ]
There were already many people who hated the rich on Weibo. When they saw Yuan Wanxia’s actions of directly setting up a stall to sell paintings, they were agitated. They directly said in Yuan Wanxia’s account that he “had a bad appetite.”
However, that night, Yuan Wanxia updated her status.
Yuan Wanxia: “I won’t take a single cent from selling the paintings. I’ll donate them all to the Western Desert to build the forest.”
The screenshot was a public service thank-you note from the Western Breeze Engineering Project. It clearly wrote, “Received 9.9 million dollars from Yuan Wanxia.”
In her previous life, the Xia Dynasty was located in the current northwest middle region. Every winter, it was plagued by sandstorms. After Xia Wanyuan became part of the government, she had to spend a large amount of energy and resources on the disaster caused by the sandstorm every year.
Hence, when choosing a public service project, Xia Wanyuan directly chose the Breeze Engineering in the West Forest.
After Yuan Wanxia posted this Weibo post, the anti-fans could no longer jump. After all, they asked themselves honestly if they could donate all their profits from selling paintings and the answer was that they definitely could not.
Those who already liked Yuan Wanxia admired her even more now.
This story of selling paintings to build forests even led many fans and passers-by to pay attention to the Breeze Engineering. Seeing the desolate desert and the bleakness under the sandstorm, everyone even aroused the mentality of environmental protection. Instantly, a large number of donations surged into the Breeze Engineering Project.
On the authoritative news of the national television station the next day, in the half an hour news session, they spent half a minute reporting the news about Yuan Wanxia, praising it as “contemporary positive energy”.
Hence, before Xia Wanyuan could enter the national television station, Yuan Wanxia had already become a guest of the national television station’s authoritative news.
