Stendhal Syndrome [Entertainment]

Chapter 24 Live Teaching

Mo Cilai's purpose was clear, it was for the painting by Caravaggio, so apart from being cueed by the host at the earliest time, he just sat there with his chin propped up and watched those people scramble for cards.

Yu Chu asked him, "Have you already thought about what you want to buy?"

Mo Ci nodded slightly, "Yes, my heart belongs to me, and I'm here for it."

"The one by Caravaggio?"

Mo Ci remembered that he had discussed related issues with Yu Chu, so it was normal for the other party to guess. "Well, it's a painting by Caravaggio."

"Do you not consider anything else?"

"I don't think about it." Mo Ci was firm.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the auctioneer introduce the next work, "The next lot is the work "Silence" by the cutting-edge modern painter Calori Fernandez from Italy. The starting price is 100 million."

Mo Ci saw that painting. The strong and bright colors were splashed and rippling to form a shape like a starry sky and a flower bush. It was a huge impact. It was the painting he once saw in the Florence International Contemporary Biennale. .

"Do you like this painting?"

"Well. This warm feeling is like life. Although the brushwork is not my favorite, it is still very good overall."

"If you like it, you can buy it."

"I met this author and he said he didn't want to sell."

"Actually, you can still buy it if you want to. If you choose to go to an art exhibition, you will always have something to look at."

"No need, although I like it, but this kind of liking will not require too much attention for it, it's not necessary, just appreciate it, maybe if you look back, there will be other new loves, I am Notoriously half-hearted and uncertain."

Mo Ci subconsciously looked at Yu Chu, and directly met the other's eyes looking at him.

"You bought it?"

"I said at the time that if you want it, you can still get it."

"I just don't think it's necessary." Mo Ci still pays attention to letting nature take its course in this regard, and there is no need to bother about things that you don't like so much.

"Now, do you want to shoot?"

Mo Ci smiled and sighed, then raised his sign. "Add one hundred thousand."

In the end, Mo Ci won the painting at a price of 210 million, and blinked his eyes at the camera position approaching, causing another group of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm dead" on the barrage.

The finale was naturally the painting by Caravaggio. After all, as a painter with an important position in art history but with few works, the price of his works is naturally not low. For this painting, even the auctioneer has changed.

The tall and handsome auctioneer stood on the stage and said with a smile, "Hi everyone, I am Chong Jin, a nationally registered auctioneer. Before showing this painting, please allow me to introduce the background of this painting, as a One of the masters of the Renaissance, Caravaggio passed away at the age of 33, and the works left behind are priceless treasures. Today's "Judith and Holofernes" was once auctioned in France Xinghe Oil Painting Appraisal Company was valued at 5000 million euros, but was bought by a mysterious buyer before the auction. I am honored to be able to see this painting again today and serve as its auctioneer.”

Then this painting was projected on the big screen—in the painting, Holofernes, the general who led the army to conquer Palestine, was beheaded by the widow Judith as a "beauty trick" when he was passing through the Jewish kingdom. became a national hero.

This moment was frozen by Caravaggio. The strong contrast between light and dark, the bloody and violent dramatic conflict, and the magnificent epic temperament are fully displayed in the painting.

"The starting price of this pair of Caravaggio's "Judith and Holofernes" is 12 billion yuan, and the auction starts now."

Mo Ci turned his head to look at Meroving. Only at this time did he really face up to the family's financial and material resources accumulated over the years. "Mystery buyer?"

"Hmm." He was indeed the one who handled the painting at the time. The Louvre dared not buy such a work of art because it occupied the total budget for 15 years, so it's no wonder that others took it for themselves first.

"Who do you think among the people sitting here today is willing to spend 12 billion to buy a painting?" It was originally for charity to earn a name, and spending a few million is enough. Buying a painting with [-] billion is not considered Going back with a big paper, there may not be many people in this country who are willing, even if they are willing, they will not appear in such a charity dinner. Who would have thought that it would be like this.Mo Ci can appreciate it. He really likes this painter, but he didn't expect that this painting turned out to be "Judith and Holofernes". He dares to guarantee that if he dares to take all his money Come out to buy this, Xu Zihe, the group of people who are usually cowardly, will definitely jump up and fight with him, and maybe he will go bankrupt and can't afford this painting.

"I used it to lure you here. I might have to arrive in Huaguo late, so I could only catch up with this auction."

As soon as Yu Chu said this, Mo Ci understood that co-authorship was the reunion that Yu Chu originally set for the two of them—the place where the clothes were fragrant, the lights were bright, and the paintings of his favorite painter were destined to be together. someone to meet.

As a director, he admits that such shots and settings are indeed full of beauty. Even if he is the protagonist, it is difficult to say anything bad to destroy this beauty.

In the end, this painting really failed to sell. The high price discouraged those who wanted to be arty. As the owner, Yu Chu had nothing to lose. The auction house held an exhibition of Renaissance paintings in Shanghai and Pingjing, which attracted countless people to see it, and directly made a fortune.

Of course, these are all for later.

The current situation is that those more boring speeches after the auction made Mo Ci take out his mobile phone, and there was a message from Xu Zihe on it. "Congratulations Mo Dao, you are on the trending search again, together with your international friends."

Mo Ci sent a question mark and successfully unlocked a screenshot with the keyword "Mo Ci Yuchu".

"I, Mo Dao, is really a top-notch character who is A, lustful and charming. It looks good with anyone. The big guy who occupies half of the cp list is really well-deserved. Of course, Yu Chu is also amazing. Those eyes are worse than Lake Baikal." Be deep. Is there anyone willing to enter the pit of this pair?"

The accompanying photo is a refined screenshot of the two of them chatting with Yanyan Yanyan. It is a crazy bonus for good-looking people to stay together, let alone this top-notch beauty. Even if Mo Ci looks at it by himself, he finds it pleasing no.

He opened Weibo and found this article, liked it and came back to read Xu Zihe's message.

"How is it, Director Mo, is this wave of enthusiasm going away?"

Mo Ci immediately understood, "Are you going to promote "Stendhal Syndrome"?"

"Yes, but it's up to you to cooperate with your international friends. It's not very demanding. Just walk together when you come out later. Some journalist friends will do the rest for us."

Mo Ci thought for a while and sent "Okay", and then asked Yu Chu, "Come with me later?"

"You want to take me back to your house?"

Mo Ci felt that he might have given the other party such a misunderstanding because of his improper use of words, and explained, "No, I need your cooperation to bring popularity to "Stendhal Syndrome."

Yu Chu nodded, and asked again, "I didn't drive here today, can you take me back on the way?" This time he didn't wait for Mo Ci to ask back, he just made it clear, "I bought the villa next door to your house, and now live there."

Mo Ci sighed in his heart. Before encountering this kind of suitor, his reaction was to smile and then refuse. If he pursued him like Yu Chu, he would often resort to some unconventional means.But now these are either useless or impossible for Yu Chu, so that he simply ignores these emotional entanglements and directly treats them as friends.

"it is good."

"Would you like to enjoy that painting with me tomorrow?"

Mo Ci didn't hesitate this time, and nodded, "Okay."

At the end, Mo Ci and Yu Chu walked together, and the reporters did not let them go.

"Director Mo, you and "Stendhal Syndrome" actor Yu Chu attended the dinner together, does that mean that "Stendhal Syndrome" will be released?"

"You liked that Weibo, are you admitting that you have a closer relationship with Yu Chu?"

"Yu Chu, Mo Ci said before that you don't plan to enter the entertainment circle, but you appeared here today, do you intend to enter the entertainment circle now?"

......

Mo Ci was confronted by those cameras, so he took two steps back, and Yu Chu stretched out his hand to help him block the microphone.

"Don't worry," Mo Ci helped the arm of the female reporter who was leaning forward and almost fell, and then took the microphone in her hand.

"Yu Chu and I are friends, and I like it because those photos are well taken. Of course, "Stendhal Syndrome" will be released, everyone can wait at ease." Mo Ci answered the question with a smile, "As for Yu Chu Newcomer to the circle, my dear, although you are the entertainment media, there is no need to praise this circle so highly, not everyone does everything to enter this circle."

When Mo Ci said these words, Yu Chu kept tilting his head and looking down at him. He had seen him talk fluently under the flashing spotlight countless times through the screen, but this was the first time he stood beside him.

After Mo Ci finished speaking, he handed the microphone back to the female reporter, blinked at her, and then pulled Yu Chu's wrist and walked forward, ignoring the flickering lights and the people chasing the news.

Just go forward like this, alone with Yu Chu.

When wearing the seat belt, Mo Ci said, "In the long period of time from the early stage to the end of the movie, you may have many opportunities to deal with these media. Of course, I know you will definitely not be fooled by them, but how to deal with these media There is also a very important thing, which is to learn to let go of your gentlemanly demeanor and go when it is time to go, if you must keep it, you will definitely be entangled by them."

"So did you just defend me or teach on the spot?"

"Oh," Mo Ci smiled, and then started the car, "You can think whatever you want, Yu Chu, I have already said that this is your right."
