Chapter 820 820. A word is worth a thousand gold

When Shu Chang watched the etiquette lady unfold Nie Wei's calligraphy works with white gloves, she was a little nervous.

This nervousness mainly came from the final price of the auction items.

In Shu Chang's mind, Nie Wei's calligraphy works must be the best works tonight, so it should also be sold at the highest price tonight.

However, several celebrities' items were sold at very high prices, especially the cheongsam that Zhang Ziyi took out and wore in "2046", which was sold at a sky-high price of 250,000.

Although Shu Chang was very confident in Nie Wei's calligraphy, the uncertain transaction method of auction still made her a little nervous.

"The next item to be displayed is the auction item sent by Miss Shu Chang, which is a scroll of the Heart Sutra written by her husband, Mr. Nie Wei. This calligraphy work is about 110 cm long and 50 cm wide. The full text has a total of 260 words, with Mr. Nie Wei's inscriptions. At the same time, Mr. Nie Wei used three seals on this work, including the lead seal, the name seal and the corner seal. Friends who are interested in this calligraphy can come closer to see it."

As the auctioneer introduced it, many people stood up and walked forward to see it.

"Huh? This calligraphy is very artistic."

"Not bad, not bad, beautiful and vigorous, it is really a treasure."

"It's rare, Nie Wei is only in his twenties, but he uses ink very skillfully, and this calligraphy has strength and unique style, it has become a master."

Shu Chang was a little nervous at first, but when she heard a group of old men who looked very knowledgeable surrounding Nie Wei's calligraphy and commenting on it, and listened to their praises, Shu Chang's hanging heart gradually returned, and even couldn't help revealing a little pride between her eyebrows.

Who let these old men praise her husband?

And those people in the entertainment industry, although they don't know much about calligraphy and painting, can also see that Nie Wei's calligraphy is very good. After thousands of people came to join in the fun, they would chat with Shu Chang and praise Nie Wei's calligraphy.

In the eyes of many people, this is obviously a good opportunity to talk to Shu Chang. Even if they don't ask to become friends, at least they can say hello and get to know each other.

After all, Shu Chang's status is not ordinary now.

As Nie Wei's legally recognized wife, Shu Chang has become the real mistress of Nie Wei's business empire.

This is not only in terms of money, the key is that Nie Wei's energy in the Chinese entertainment industry is too huge. In the nine years since Nie Wei entered the Chinese entertainment industry, he has already created an entertainment empire.

For example, Huayi, this company is now absolutely the best in China in terms of film and television production and records.

And the several variety shows launched by Nie Wei's variety show production company are also programs that countless artists in the Chinese entertainment industry want to participate in.

What's more, Nie Wei also controls the largest domestic publicity platform, Fanxing Weibo, which is the first in China and even ranks among the top three social platforms in North America. Its publicity energy makes even top stars jealous.

This is also the main reason why Huayi can always become popular. Backed by such a super network social platform, as long as Nie Wei uses a little bit of resources, even if he is a passerby, he will be known by hundreds of millions of people in a short time.

In addition, Nie Wei also controls the cinema chain with the largest number of screens in China, and what cannot be ignored is Nie Wei's own talent. Whether it is the movies and TV series he created or the music he wrote, these are opportunities that countless artists dream of participating in.

"Hello, Miss Shu Chang, I would like to ask, does Mr. Nie Wei have other calligraphy works?" Just when Shu Chang was immersed in the praise of the crowd and was extremely happy, an old man suddenly came to Shu Chang and asked.

"Hello, yes, there are about a dozen pieces, I haven't counted them carefully." Shu Chang saw that it was a gray-haired grandfather. Although he was a little surprised by the other party's question, he still answered politely.

Hearing that there were still works, the old man showed obvious joy on his face, and the smile on his face was even more amiable.

"Miss Shu Chang, I wonder if you have any idea of ​​selling these works?"

"What?" Shu Chang thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at the old man in surprise.

"I admire Mr. Nie Wei's works very much and want to buy some for my private collection." The old man immediately understood Shu Chang's eyes and explained quickly. Then he took out a business card that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Shu Chang: "If your husband is willing, you can contact me through the phone number on this business card."

"Oh, okay." Shu Chang took the business card handed over by the old man in a daze. He subconsciously glanced at it and found that the position column on it was written as 'Vice President of the Huaxia Calligraphy Association'.

Fan Binbin, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two and looked at the business card out of curiosity. He was immediately shocked by the title on the business card.

"Hey, Shu Chang, your Nie Wei is so amazing. Even the vice president of the calligraphy association wants to buy his works?"

"I don't know either." Shu Chang was also a little confused at the moment, but although confused, it did not disturb her good mood. Listening to Fan Binbin's exclamation, Shu Chang's mouth corners unconsciously rose.

After a while, Shu Chang received five more business cards, all of which had the same idea as the old man at the beginning, and all wanted to buy Nie Wei's calligraphy works.

After everyone had seen the calligraphy works, the auction officially began.

In this charity night, all auction items start at a reserve price of one yuan, and buyers can raise their cards to bid. The minimum bid is five hundred, and the highest bid is one hundred thousand. There are several levels, which are not listed in detail.

Almost the moment the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, someone immediately raised the bid sign in his hand.

"Mr. Huang Xiaoming at table number three is offering fifty thousand yuan!"

Along with the auctioneer's offer, there was a cry of surprise at the scene. This was the first time tonight that someone offered a price of fifty thousand at the beginning of the auction.

Shu Chang couldn't help but look at table number three, and soon found that Huang Xiaoming was also looking at him and blinking at him.

Shu Chang immediately understood that these stars of Huayi were obviously helping him or Nie Wei's calligraphy works to build momentum.

As Huang Xiaoming raised his placard, Fan Binbin, who was sitting next to Shu Chang, also raised his placard immediately, and also raised the price by 50,000 yuan in one bid. There were exclamations again at the scene. Obviously, many people did not expect that Nie Wei's calligraphy work would have such a strong momentum from the beginning.

Of course, some people began to gossip in their hearts. After all, the artists who raised the price twice were all from Huayi, which was suspected of flattering the boss.

But no matter what, this calligraphy work caused quite a stir at the beginning of the auction.

Soon, Zhou Xun, who was sitting at the same table with Shu Chang, also added fuel to the fire and raised the price of this calligraphy work to 150,000 yuan. Cheng Kun followed closely and raised another 50,000 yuan. After four bids, Nie Wei's calligraphy work had risen to 200,000 yuan, and it was about to surpass Zhang Ziyi's cheongsam of 250,000 yuan.

But at this time, Shu Chang was a little panicked. It was good for friends to help support the event, but Shu Chang really felt bad for asking friends to spend 200,000 yuan to buy this calligraphy.

After all, in her opinion, no matter how good Nie Wei's calligraphy is, it can't be worth so much money, right?

Just when she was worried about what to do if no one took over, the old man who had just talked to Shu Chang for the first time raised his placard for the first time at this auction.

And this time, he bid the highest amount of 100,000!

"Mr. Yuan Fei from table 6 bid 300,000!!!" This time, the auctioneer's voice was unconsciously raised by three points. After all, as an auctioneer, the higher the price of the auction items in his hands, the more sense of accomplishment he would have.

The old man's move made Shu Chang feel relieved, thinking that he must ask Nie Wei to give the old man a painting in the future. However, just when Shu Chang had just thought of this, another old man named Liu, who was sitting at the same table as the old man, immediately raised his placard, and also raised the highest amount of 100,000.

The exclamations from the audience were heard again, and this was just the beginning of the madness. The old men at that table had not seen them raise their placards all night, but now they all started to raise their placards and bid as if a switch had been pressed.

Those who had been complaining in their hearts were stunned at this moment. If it was the artists from the Huayi Department who were supporting them at the beginning, then what was this now? Were those old men crazy?

Obviously, this was impossible. If one person was crazy, it was crazy, but if a group of people followed suit, then it only meant that the things being chased by that group of people must be valuable, but they just didn't see through it.

Just as everyone watched with wide eyes the numbers jumping on the LED screen on the stage increase again and again, they had reached 900,000 unknowingly.

At this time, the competition between the old men had also reached a white-hot stage. Each increase in price was no longer a 100,000 or 50,000 increase, but began to increase by 5,000 or 10,000.

Others had already been dumbfounded at this time. No one could have imagined that Nie Wei's calligraphy would actually sell for nearly a million.

You know, although Nie Wei has many titles, he is both a star and a successful entrepreneur, but after all, he is not very famous in the calligraphy circle. At most, his fans always show off that Nie Wei's signature is very beautiful, and everyone thinks it is beautiful after seeing those signatures.

But what I didn't expect was that these beautiful words would be so valuable! It is more valuable than many calligraphers' works.

This "Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita" was quickly bid up to 950,000. At this time, the vice president of the Calligraphy Association, Yuan Fei, once again raised the sign with 100,000.

"Wow, Mr. Yuan Fei bid 1,050,000. Is there a higher price than this? Is there any more?"

"One million and five hundred thousand for the first time, one million and five hundred thousand for the second time, is there really no more bids?"

Hearing the auctioneer on the stage still delaying, Yuan Fei, who usually thinks he is very well-mannered, wants to step forward and grab the hammer in the auctioneer's hand, and then hit this guy hard a few times.

At this time, the auctioneer on the stage didn't know that he had angered an old man. Seeing that no one raised the price after he had encouraged several times, he dropped the hammer in his hand with a slightly trembling hand.

"Congratulations to Mr. Yuan Fei, you have won the calligraphy work "Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita" written by Mr. Nie Wei for 1.05 million."

A celebrity's calligraphy work was sold for 1.05 million, which made the competition for the following items obviously much less interesting. Even the buyers didn't seem to have much interest. They just made a few ordinary prices and ended the auction.

When the auction ended, Shu Chang and Yuan Fei, who had won Nie Wei's calligraphy work, were surrounded by reporters who were watching the whole process.

"Mr. Yuan, why did you intend to buy Nie Wei's calligraphy at a sky-high price of 1.05 million? Do you really think that Nie Wei's calligraphy is worth a million?"

Faced with the reporter's question, Yuan Fei seemed very calm and replied with a smile: "The value of calligraphy and painting depends on the collector's preference. There is no absolute standard. For me, Nie Wei's calligraphy is worth this price."

"Is it because of his calligraphy itself, or because of Nie Wei's fame?"

"Of course it's because of the calligraphy itself. In my opinion, Nie Wei's calligraphy is worth this price." It has the aura of a master. Although it has not really entered the realm of divine works, it is also excellent among the wonderful works. Moreover, at Nie Wei's current age, as long as he is willing to calm down and concentrate on studying calligraphy skills, it may only take ten years or even less for him to enter the highest realm of calligraphy. "

"Otherwise, why do you think we old guys are fighting? It's not only because Nie Wei's calligraphy is good, but also because of his own potential. So the price of one million is really not much. I even think I got a small bargain." Yuan Fei's last sentence seemed to be a joke, but the reporters were shocked.

Spending millions to buy Nie Wei's calligraphy and still think you got a bargain?

If it were another grandfather, these reporters would definitely think that the other party had Alzheimer's disease, but the man in front of them was the vice president of the Calligraphy Association, and his words made the reporters feel like they didn't believe it.

As for Shu Chang, the reporters really wanted to interview her, but after seeing the sensation, Su Mang quickly arranged for security to escort Shu Chang away from the VIP channel of the hotel, leaving the reporters empty-handed.

Shu Chang didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she got on the nanny car, but the excitement that followed immediately surged into her heart.

At this moment, she just wanted to tell Nie Wei about this result as soon as possible.

At this moment, Director Michael, who was far away in Jordan, finally remembered who Nie Wei was, and a sense of worry rose in his heart.

It's not scary that Nie Wei is rich. No matter how rich Nie Wei is, it has nothing to do with him. After all, Nie Wei didn't invest even a penny in his movie, but Nie Wei's identity as the owner of AMC Cinema Line made him deeply concerned.
