Chapter 78 Buying Paintings
There was a little sigh in Zhao Yunqing's tone.

"Isn't [-] too much?" Lu An couldn't help asking after hearing Zhao Yun's light tone.

"A lot?" Zhao Yun asked lightly.

"Just such a painting, 1 yuan, not much? It's too easy to make money." Lu An was surprised.

"Uncle, it can't be counted like this." Zhao Yun shook his head lightly and explained:
"Do you know that it took us at least three months from conception to completion of this painting, and earning [-] in three months, is it really a lot?
What's more, this is still the estimated highest price, but in reality, many paintings do not reach this level, at most thousands of dollars, and some even hundreds of dollars.

However, the painstaking efforts of these painters are not lacking at all. "

"This..." Hearing what Zhao Yunqing said, Lu An was also slightly at a loss for words, knowing that what Zhao Yunqing said had some truth.

"Take the painting in front of us. If there are no accidents, the price will be between one thousand and two thousand. But uncle, do you know? The paint used in this painting costs at least 500 yuan, which is not enough. Count other materials and labor costs, time costs and so on.

It took so long to sell it for 2000 yuan. Do you still think it is easy to make money by painting? "

"Isn't this too scary?" Lu An couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard this:
"How can the investment in painting be greater than the output?"

"This is normal." Zhao Yun said lightly but indifferently: "For people who study painting, except for those art candidates, who has poor family conditions? Even if they are art candidates, the difference will not be too much.

Take me as an example. I started to learn painting in elementary school, and the annual cost of simply hiring a teacher is five figures. Even as my skills improve, the teacher's fee becomes more and more expensive. "

"..." Lu An was a little speechless, and finally couldn't help asking:

"If that's the case, why do you still need to learn to draw?"

"I like it." Zhao Yunqing replied naturally.

"And in the end you can't even afford to eat?"

"Haha, no." Zhao Yunqing looked at Lu An's serious look, and couldn't help laughing:
"Uncle, the more you invest, the more you learn. Your painting skills will gradually grow, and the paintings can be sold for more money.

In the end, it really doesn't work, you can also become a painting teacher, why can't you afford to eat. "

"This... okay." Hearing Zhao Yunqing's explanation, Lu An had a preliminary understanding of this industry.

"Okay, uncle, let me take you to see other works." Zhao Yun gently pulled Lu An and began to walk towards the works below.

Along the way, Zhao Yunqing gave Lu An a lot of popular science knowledge about painting, which greatly increased Lu An's knowledge.

"Uncle, I drew this painting." Zhao Yunqing said to Lu An.

"Then I have to take a good look." Hearing what Zhao Yunqing said, Lu An immediately focused his attention on Zhao Yunqing's painting.

In this painting by Zhao Yunqing, the color of the main body is a light orange. The setting sun is setting in the distance, and there is a tree nearby. Under the tree is a pair of people hugging their bent knees.

"Uncle, how are you doing? What do you see?" Zhao Yunqing looked at Lu An expectantly and asked.

"I see that your tree and people are on the right. Is it because you said that people's eyes will move to the right habitually, so you should put important things on the right?" Lu An asked a little uncertainly.

"Uncle is amazing!" Zhao Yun praised lightly:
"That's it. There must be a certain focus in a painting, so that the viewer's line of sight has a focal point."

"I've learned." Lu An said sincerely. At the same time, Lu An suddenly remembered that when Director Jiang was making a movie, he would sometimes shift the protagonist's position to the right.

"Yun Qing, how much can this painting of yours sell for?" Lu An asked curiously again.

"Is this my painting?" Zhao Yun pondered for a while and said:
"I guess it's around seven or eight thousand. If you close your eyes, it might be tens of thousands."

"So powerful?" Lu An was a little surprised.

"It's okay." Zhao Yunqing pretended to be flat and said, but he was actually praised by Lu An, and he was already happy in his heart:

"It was also the teacher who kept urging me and teaching me to revise the manuscript, otherwise it would be impossible to reach this level."

"Then you are amazing." Lu An sincerely admired: "One painting costs ten thousand."

"It's just this once, and my level is only about 5000 yuan." Zhao Yunqing didn't really care:
"Besides, I can only draw one painting like this a month. It's no different from ordinary migrant workers."

"No, it's still different." Lu An thought for a while and said.

"What's different?"

"You don't have five insurances and one housing fund, which is worse than them." Lu An said seriously.

"..." Zhao Yunqing said very speechlessly:
"Let's go, let's go see the painting below."

Originally, Zhao Yunqing wanted to tell the uncle about the creation process of this painting and a little surprise hidden in it.

But I didn't expect the uncle to say that, and immediately dispelled all Zhao Yunqing's interest.

After Zhao Yunqing and Lu An left, other people stood in front of Zhao Yunqing's picture to watch, and some people asked questions curiously.

"Split this painting in two, as if there is an 'L' and a 'Z' respectively."

"Do you think so too?"

"Why does it feel like the author is expressing his love?"

……

Zhao Yunqing's cell phone vibrated suddenly. After Zhao Yunqing glanced at it, he said apologetically to Lu An:
"Uncle, the teacher has something to do with me. You can turn it around first, and I will come to you later."

"Okay." Lu An didn't expect such a coincidence.

Originally, Lu An was thinking of finding a way to temporarily separate from Zhao Yunqing, but he didn't expect it to be done so soon.

After Zhao Yunqing left, he first went to the entrance of the venue, asked the staff to get a stack of cards that could be quoted, registered his information, and then went straight to Zhao Yunqing's works.

In fact, when Lu An carefully observed the painting, according to Professor Zhao Yunqing's method of appreciating paintings, Lu An also saw the "L" and "Z" in the painting.

Lu An also used this painting to understand Zhao Yunqing's thoughts.

Unfortunately……

But, no matter what, Lu An didn't want this painting to fall into the hands of others.

Thinking of what Zhao Yunqing said about his painting at most [-] yuan, after thinking about it, Lu An wrote a price of [-] yuan on the card and put it in the painting box.

The box is opaque, so don't worry about others seeing the price of the person inside.

After taking a last look at Zhao Yunqing's painting, Lu An started to wander around the exhibition hall with his hands behind his back.

I have to say that the works in this public welfare art exhibition are really good, but Lu An has no idea to sell again.

It is Zhao Yunqing's work, otherwise Lu An would not be willing to spend so much money.
