"Smack!"
The lights in the banquet hall turned on immediately, and the room was instantly restored to its dazzling colors.
The crowd was still reeling from the stunning yet eerie scene.
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
...
Half a minute later, someone finally realized what was happening.
"Old Tang, who exactly is this painter? And what techniques did he use to create such... such magical paintings?" An old man asked excitedly.
"This is beyond the realm of ordinary people, isn't it? Does this person have some special ability? Otherwise... otherwise how could this painting come to life?"
"This is absolutely unbelievable!"
"What an amazing genius! It would be an incredible honor to meet this painter."
Old Tang looked at everyone and stroked his goatee.
Have any of you heard of the painting "The Other Shore Flower"?
Old Qin frowned: "Is it the painting 'The Other Shore Flower' that was displayed in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art five years ago?"
"I remember now, it was featured extensively in newspapers across the United States. Since the painting was unveiled, many people wanted to interview the artist, but it was said that the artist was very mysterious and never made a public appearance. In the end, it was the Nelson-Atkins Museum that revealed the name of the mysterious artist:..."
"Night White!" Old Tang said with a smile.
The other party immediately clapped his hands: "It's Ye Bai! After what Elder Tang and Elder Qin said, I remembered that painting 'The Other Shore Flower'. Although the artistic conception is different from this painting 'Clouds, Rain and Mountains', they actually have the same characteristic. When the two paintings are in the dark and the light shines on the scroll, they will create a visual discrepancy, making people feel as if they are alive."
Old Tang nodded approvingly, carefully took Ye Bai's painting "Clouds, Rain, Mountains and Rivers" in his hands, and explained it to everyone.
"Those of you who understand paintings should know that our world, setting aside the concept of time, is a standard three-dimensional space, and all the things we can see with our naked eyes can only be seen from three sides at most, which limits our vision."
"In the vast universe, there is no concept of time, only the concept of space. Above three dimensions is four dimensions, above four dimensions is five dimensions, and so on to the point of no end. Ye Bai's paintings break the constraints of three-dimensional space. A painting is divided into different layers, and under a given environment, the magical effect just now will appear."
Qin Laodao said, "I remember that five years ago, Ye Bai's 'The Other Shore Flower' only showed the Naihe Bridge leading to the underworld under normal circumstances. The other shore flowers on both sides were not in bloom. But when all the lights were turned off and the only beam of light shone on the painting, the other shore flowers under the Naihe Bridge were in full bloom and withered, enchanting and beautiful. His painting has a very surmodernist style, but at the same time it also promotes the style of our traditional Chinese painting. He is a rare genius painter."
"Indeed, but it's a pity this person is too mysterious. It's said that even the people in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art have never seen him in person, only leaving behind a name whose authenticity is unknown. Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet him in my lifetime." When mentioning this matter, Old Tang's expression showed particular regret.
Someone in the crowd asked curiously, "I wonder what the market price of Ye Bai's paintings is now?"
After a moment's mental calculation, Mr. Tang said, "His 'The Other Shore Flower' fetched a record price of 20 million US dollars at the time because it was Ye Bai's only work and is now a priceless treasure."
"My God, does that mean this painting, 'Clouds, Rain, Mountains and Rivers,' would fetch over 100 million RMB at auction?"
"Just who is Bai Qianmo? How come she uses such an expensive painting as 'Clouds, Rain, Mountains and Rivers' as wrapping paper?"
"She just said she took it from her grandfather's study. Who knows, her grandfather might be furious right now."
The rather bold girl said, "Even if Bai Qianmo was ignorant and used her family's paintings as wrapping paper, they are still genuine famous paintings, which means that her family has real treasures."
The girl had a big mouth, and what she said unintentionally was taken seriously by the listeners. Everyone else turned to look at Ye Qianning.
Bai Qianmo casually grabbed a piece of wrapping paper and actually pressed Ye Qianning to the ground and rubbed her against it, which was indeed quite embarrassing.
At this moment, someone remembered Gu Xinyi's arrogant words.
"Gu Xinyi even mocked that the painting was worth at most one yuan, hahaha, but she didn't expect it to be a world-class masterpiece. I feel the slap in the face."
"Old Tang is a leading figure in the art of collecting. Since he has spoken, he must be right. Gu Xinyi is too stupid to argue with Old Tang."
Gu Xinyi felt her cheeks burning, as if she had been slapped hard across the face several times.
She lowered her head, a hint of shame in her eyes, feeling that her argument with Old Tang had made her seem like an ignorant clown.
Ye Yuzhen and Ye Qianning felt as cold as the dead of winter.
The fact that the gift she gave out was stamped as a fake was already extremely embarrassing for her.
As it turned out, the wrapping paper for one of Bai Qianmo's gifts was actually a work by the contemporary master Ye Bai. Right now, Ye Qianning felt that everyone's gaze towards her revealed contempt and mockery.
Needless to say, Ye Yuzhen was also involved.
The more contempt she had shown Bai Qianmo just now, the more slapped she was now in the face.
And thinking about how he had ignorantly mocked and ridiculed Bai Qianmo's gift, he felt a burning discomfort on his face.
"Yuzhen, shouldn't you apologize to Qianmo now?" Old Madam Gu's gaze was authoritative.
All eyes turned to Ye Yuzhen.
Yingying was currently holding a grudge against Ye Yuzhen, so she was naturally happy to see her make a fool of herself.
