"What if Wang Yueheng goes back and writes a few more pieces? Wouldn't the person who bought this calligraphy work at such a high price lose money?"

"A painting costs 300,000 US dollars. If Wang Yueheng paints ten a day, that's 3 million US dollars!"

At the auction, some people raised similar questions.

This question also represents the sentiments of a large number of viewers.

If I were Wang Yueheng, I would understand the immense value of his calligraphy.

He would have to go back and write ten or eight pieces every day, and then sell them for money while they were still popular.

Kong Ruoxi, who was sitting at the scene, also heard the discussions of several foreigners around her.

She simply chuckled and shook her head.

These people's speculations are like a group of farmers discussing how the emperor must have used a golden hoe to grow vegetables—it's so absurd.

Regardless of whether Wang Yueheng is short of the $300,000.

From the perspective of an artist or calligrapher, he must be aware of the saying that things are valued for their rarity.

Moreover, compared to other artists, Wang Yueheng, who is known as a genius, must cherish his reputation even more.

How could I possibly make things difficult for myself by mass-producing and selling my own work, thus damaging my own reputation?

If you really have that kind of skill, you could earn just as much money by singing a song on a live stream.

And you won't be criticized.

However, Kong Ruoxi couldn't guess what price Wang Yueheng's calligraphy would ultimately fetch.

At this point, the bidding price at the auction had already exceeded 400,000 US dollars.

As the price approached 500,000, the number of people participating in the auction decreased significantly.

This price also met the expectations of most bidders.

Even if it goes up, it's hard to say whether you can make money from this work in the short term.

We can't just leave it for decades until Wang Yueheng passes away so his descendants can cash it out...

"Guest number 8, Mr. Wells, has bid five hundred thousand!"

Just then.

Guest number 8, septuagenarian science fiction writer H.G. Wells, has made another appearance.

He had never participated in any bidding before, only watching silently.

"Haha, I already guessed it!"

"I was so moved to tears by Wang Yueheng's song just now, how could I possibly give up the auction!"

"With the old man making a move, Wang Yueheng is about to set a new bidding record, just like Bryant!"

"Unbelievable! This Chinese singer's name is listed alongside basketball superstar Kobe Bryant!"

"It seems this calligraphy piece is definitely Mr. Wells's for tonight~"

Many audience members seemed to have anticipated Wells's move and were not particularly surprised.

Especially the poem that appears as a bonus at the end of the film.

Even though it transcends national borders and time, it still feels like it was made for the old man's deceased wife.

It would be strange if Wells didn't make a move to secure the win.

Just when everyone thought that Wang Yueheng's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" would be awarded to this science fiction writer.

Auctioneer Ekaterin's delighted voice rang out again from the stage:

"Guest number 19 has bid $550,000!"

Sitting on the edge, a middle-aged man of Asian appearance with black hair slowly raised his bidding paddle.

The number "55" was clearly written on it.

Wow~

"Who is he? Who actually wants to compete with Mr. Wells for this painting?"

"It's obvious that he's of Chinese descent, and perhaps a wealthy person who enjoys calligraphy."

"My God, I feel like I'm seeing Wells and Nixon bidding against each other again."

"But this time is different; this Chinese man definitely won't give this calligraphy to the old man again!"...

The audience gasped in astonishment when another mysterious bidder suddenly appeared.

A calligraphy work written casually fetched $550,000 at auction.

In addition, there were two magnificent performances.

Wang Yueheng is destined to be the most dazzling star at tonight's charity auction!

Their value for participating in overseas performances is destined to rise in the future!
