"Inform the auctioneer to adjust the starting price for Wang Yueheng's work..."

Just as the holographic projection on site came to a close.

Once he came to his senses, Wang Zhan, the president of the Overseas Chinese Association, realized something and whispered to the person next to him.

This is a work with profound meaning.

If it were auctioned off for the same price as a guitar, a basketball, or even an autographed photo.

That would undoubtedly be a desecration of Wang Yueheng's talent!

This is also a blatant disrespect to the millennia-old culture of the Dragon Kingdom!

The extra poem at the end of the film alone is worth a fortune!

"Thank you, Mr. Wang Yueheng, for bringing us this poem, 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion'."

"Let us appreciate a beautiful and touching ancient love story from the Dragon Kingdom."

"Next up is the original calligraphy work that the woman in the picture is copying, the calligraphy work 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion' created by Mr. Wang Yueheng himself!"

"In this work, Mr. Wang Yueheng has a unique perspective, using the ancient perspective and the famous scenic spot Lanting in China as the background."

"The entire text contains 324 characters, written in a flowing cursive script, and is exceptionally well-written!"

"In addition, Mr. Wang Yueheng will write the closing poem on the spot and give it as a bonus to the winning bidder!"

Auctioneer Ekaterin, dressed in a sexy cheongsam, reappeared on stage and raised the microphone to announce.

As she spoke, her eyes were slightly red, and her smile had lost its previous radiance.

They didn't seem to have fully recovered from what they had just seen.

"This original calligraphy work of the 'Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion' has a starting bid of US$50,000!"

"Now, please raise your paddles to bid!"

After a brief pause, Yekaterin then announced the starting bid for the calligraphy work.

"Hoo~"

The price caused an uproar in the room.

Everyone was astonished by the unexpectedly high bid.

This is also the highest starting price ever paid for a celebrity item at auction.

It even surpasses the pair of "championship shoes" that Bryant just donated!

However, considering the charm of this work that Wang Yueheng just showcased in the song.

Most people felt it was only natural.

After all, some graffiti created by foreign artists can often fetch hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars at auctions.

Anyone with a little knowledge of calligraphy can tell at a glance.

Wang Yueheng's calligraphy is of such exceptional quality that it can be described as transcendent.

Other renowned calligraphers might never be able to produce calligraphy of this caliber in their entire lives.

Before that.

The organizers set a starting bid of five thousand US dollars for Wang Yueheng's calligraphy work at the gala.

This starting price, which takes into account his personal influence and the scarcity of his calligraphy works, is a rational starting price that meets market needs.

As Chairman Wang Zhan spoke.

The starting bid was increased tenfold.

The backstage staff at the charity gala were also quite startled.

$50,000 was the final price they had imagined for Wang Yueheng's work!

Auctioneer Yekaterin was even more worried for Wang Yueheng.

They were afraid that the price would be too high, resulting in very few bidders, or even no bidders at all.

That would be embarrassing in public.

"Fifty thousand US dollars! That's nearly four hundred thousand Chinese yuan!"

"If this were in China, I believe someone would definitely buy it at this price."

"But that's America, do they really know how to appreciate calligraphy?"

"Don't even mention 400,000, there are plenty of nouveau riche willing to pay 700,000 or 800,000 for a calligraphy work like this!"

"Don't forget, Wang Yueheng will also gift the bidder a calligraphy work of another poem!"

"I'm so worried that these foreigners and overseas Chinese tycoons might not recognize its value and ignore it..."

Inside Wang Yueheng's Douyin livestream room in China.

Countless netizens are anxiously discussing the upcoming auction price of this "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion".

They were afraid that the starting bid of $50,000 would be ridiculed by ignorant foreign tycoons.
