Chapter 429: Growing Influence
"It's just a blackboard writing written in chalk. There are only thirty or forty words and a few simple pictures. Could it be that someone is rushing to collect this?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised.
Bian Yiding said naturally: "Of course, you don't want to think about how famous you are! With such a great reputation, you can't even see a work on the market. Except for the Louvre Museum that collects one of your works, our school has a work you donated. There are so many top museums in the world that want to collect one of your works, let alone collectors from all over the world."
"I am still young now and I have created works fast enough. Real work requires inspiration, and I don't need to rely on the works to exchange for money. If these collectors want to collect them, then wait."
Bian Yiding admires and admires Xiao Yao's indifferent attitude the most.
"Of course it doesn't matter, but many people can't wait, so even the blackboard and teaching drafts you teach have become the targets of many collectors."
Thinking of the calls he received, Bian Yiding was very happy and continued, "During this period, I received a lot of harassing calls. These collectors have a lot of energy. Many people came to me directly or indirectly and expressed their willingness to buy your blackboard and teaching drafts at high prices. Some people on your first day's blackboard has already offered 50 million yuan, some people on your sketch drafts have also offered 8 million yuan, and some on your first day's full set of sketch drafts, and some even offer 80 million yuan. You probably didn't expect it?"
Xiao Yao really didn't expect such a high price.
Someone offered to write on the blackboard on his first day for 50 million, which is somewhat convincing. After all, there is a lot of content on the blackboard. Although several simple teaching pictures are simple, they are extremely skillful. If you use them to collect, they do have certain value-added potential.
But some people even offer a sketch draft of 8 million, while some people even offer a sketch draft of 80 million, which is a bit amazing.
The historical auction record of sketch paintings is Raphael's "Avatar of a Young Master", which was sold for 29.7 million pounds (about 47.9 million US dollars, about 296 million RMB). It is indeed amazing that a sketch can be sold at such a sky-high price.
Although Xiao Yao is known as one of the most outstanding painters of the present, his future status in the history of world art may be comparable to Raphael, and it is not impossible to surpass him, but that is the future, not the present after all.
Xiao Yao's teaching sketches are relatively simple. If he estimates it himself, it would be very high for a drawing of 30 million to 4 million. The price of 8 million is a bit too crazy.
He thinks that some people offer such high prices mainly because things are rare and expensive. There is no work on the market now. Some collectors who really like his works can understand that they are willing to buy them at a high price.
If his works gradually flow to the market, the prices should gradually become reasonable.
Xiao Yao joked: "A sketch of 8 million yuan is really a sky-high price. I really didn't expect that at such a high price, wouldn't you be moved?"
Bian Yiding sneered, "Do you think I am like that kind of superficial person? Look at it now, the price of 8 million sketches is indeed very high, but if it takes decades and a hundred years, these sketches will be priceless. If I really dare to sell them at this time, I will definitely be stung by future generations.
In order to be able to rest in peace after death, let alone 8 million sketches, even if the price has increased several times, I would not consider selling it.
Besides, these paintings are all yours. I will take over the school with a sloppy face. I can’t sell them no matter how much money, otherwise I will be shameless to snatch your teaching drawings from now on.”
Bian Yiding and Xiao Yao got along very casually, not hiding what they thought in their hearts at all.
"No wonder you can be the president of our Academy of Fine Arts. Even if you don't consider your position in the art world, just your personality that can capture will be no one more suitable than you." Xiao Yao was convinced.
Bian Yiding was not ashamed and said proudly: "Of course, if you don't have this ability, how can we make our Handa Academy of Fine Arts flourish and become famous? Let me tell you good news. After this period of negotiation, the intention of sending exchange students between the Bali Academy of Fine Arts and our Handa Academy of Fine Arts has been implemented, and the number of exchange students per year is 10."
"I actually got a talk, and there were 10 places. It seems that our Handa Academy of Fine Arts is really going to take off." Xiao Yao had known about this for a long time, but the efficiency was so high that he was still surprised.
"I have to thank you for the fact that this matter can be implemented so quickly. Inviting you to our Han University Academy of Fine Arts is definitely my most wise decision." Bian Yiding was very proud.
"I haven't participated in the negotiations on this matter, what does it have to do with me?"
"Of course it's related. You must have never imagined how sensational the teaching videos of your classes were?"
Speaking of this, Bian Yiding was very happy, "Your demonstration teaching in sketching class is easy to understand and vivid, especially several sets of sketching pictures. The shocking ability can be compared to Picasso's cow deformation map. Major art academies in China and abroad have been actively contacting our Handa Art Academies during this period and want to get your lecture video authorization. The exchange of exchange students with the Bali Art Academies can be implemented so quickly, and your lecture video has played a decisive role."
"Is it so popular? I have no experience in teaching and I have always been worried about misleading my children. After hearing what you said, I feel a little confident." For Xiao Yao, teaching is a sacred thing, and he still attaches great importance to his teaching effect.
"The level of attention is definitely beyond your imagination. During this period, major domestic art academies have basically contacted our colleges. Even major famous art academies in the world have called or sent personnel to contact us. Your lecture video has been unanimously praised by the industry. In addition to the Bali Art Academies, there are now 5 world-renowned art academies. If you want to send exchange students with our school, the influence of our Handa Art Academies will definitely become higher and higher in the future."
Because of Xiao Yao's arrival, the Han University Academy of Fine Arts has increased its influence at home and abroad. During this period, Bian Yiding has devoted all his energy to handling the hospital affairs and is enjoying it.
"I really took some effort to get these sketches and pictures. I didn't waste my time being able to be recognized."
Bian Yiding suggested: "I think the influence of these sets of sketches will become greater and greater. You'd better apply for relevant patents to avoid the damage to your due interests."
