What Aina damaged was precisely the most beautiful feather in the middle of the phoenix's body, making it worthless from then on.
Painting an identical painting and then paying for it? Wang Changyue wasn't a fool. Could an ordinary person's painting be worth 4 million? Su Ran had never considered such a ridiculous idea.
Su Ran stretched out his finger and dipped it in the juice stained with paint on the phoenix, looked at it, and licked it with his tongue.
Su Ran shook his head with a hint of amusement.
Wang Changyue: "What are you laughing at? Pay me back!"
Su Ran: "Master Wang, you are the apprentice of Master Shan Zhentian. I guess your paintings are also very valuable, right?"
Wang Changyue spoke frankly: "My paintings are not as valuable as my master's, and I am not as famous as my master. Don't talk nonsense to me, let's talk about compensation."
Someone at the scene said: "Wang Changyue's paintings are worth nothing. Shan Zhentian's paintings are collectibles, and his paintings are decorations. I don't want them even if they are given to me."
"I see."
Su Ran nodded. Although he was not from the painting world, he was very clear about this.
When it comes to paintings, what matters is fame. The greater the fame, the more valuable the painting is. Moreover, it will be hyped by the "angel investment group". The higher the hype, the more it is washed and the more valuable it is. It is not uncommon for the painting to be sold for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
In short, this industry is no less prone to money laundering than the entertainment industry.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the master's paintings are worthless, but that there is a lot of water in the hundreds of millions of yuan per painting. People who understand will understand.
but……
For an ordinary unknown painter, no matter how good his paintings are, without fame, they are just a pile of waste paper.
Either you hold on until you die, and suddenly one day an 'angel investment group' starts speculating on your paintings, and then the value of your paintings will gradually rise.
However, Wang Changyue's paintings are actually very good. Like many people present here, he is not famous and is just a decoration. He still needs to promote himself commercially to improve his quality.
Wang Changyue felt a little annoyed when he saw Su Ran staring at the painting.
"Hey, stop wasting time, stop dithering. I need to pay you 4 million now. I don't care if it's just one person paying or everyone in the video paying together. I can't pay even a single word less than the 4 million!"
"Four million?"
"No, you're playing dumb, aren't you? I just told you, this is my master's classic work, 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix,' and it's worth 4 million! If your friend hadn't broken it, I would have sold it to Mr. Li and paid him 4.7 million! I'm already giving you a lot of face, don't play dumb!"
Mr. Li nodded, and it was true that he had 4.7 million, the highest price, and was about to buy it.
Su Ran: "Mr. Li, do you like Mr. Shan Zhentian's paintings?"
Mr. Li nodded and said, "Yes, I have bought many paintings from Wang Changyue in the past few years."
Wang Changyue gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Li has good vision."
Su Ran shook his head and smiled, then asked, "Then you didn't see anything?"
"Hey, hey, hey, kid, stop talking nonsense." Wang Changyue pointed at Su Ran and scolded him.
"Call the police and let them handle it." Su Ran felt relieved.
Wang Changyue glanced at Su Ran, wondering what this person was up to. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Why would he just throw juice for no reason? Could it be that he was sent by his junior sister?
Why did Wang Changyue think this way? Because he felt guilty!
Su Ran had just used the fighting power of his tongue to learn all the detailed information about the painting.
Title: Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix
Author: Shan Weizi
So, Wang Changyue is a liar!
His own paintings could not be sold at a high price, so he relied on his excellent brushstrokes to imitate his master's paintings, and started to cheat people, so he was expelled from the master's school. However, he continued to imitate, so he was worried that his junior sister would send someone to expose him.
The painting "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was indeed given to Wang Changyue by Shan Zhentian when he got married, but he already had two copies...
One was painted by Master Shan Zhentian. It shows a phoenix about to spread its wings and fly high, symbolizing great ambitions.
One was painted by Junior Sister Shan Weizi. In that painting, a phoenix is admired by hundreds of birds, implying that it is respected.
And, this painting at the scene was painted by junior sister Shan Weizi.
Not worth the money.
But the little junior sister is an amazing painter. I remember that when Master Shan Zhentian took these two paintings, he almost confused them, thinking that he had painted two paintings because he was drunk. Later he found out that they were painted by his daughter Shan Weizi.
So... if it wasn't the master or the junior sister, no one else would be able to see the clues in this painting.
And this Su Ran, with this confident look on his face, could it be that he knows something?
Or maybe, they did it on purpose, sent by Junior Sister to expose me?
If that's the case, I'll be in trouble. I've counterfeited many of my master's paintings in the past few years and sold them at high prices. This is fraud and I'll go to jail.
