chapter 22 Master Louis new work

Tuesday. Dongzheng Auction House. At a glance, there were crowds of people, and there were no empty seats. It was estimated that this kind of grand event could only happen at the concert scene of superstar Jay Chou. Master Louis was a superstar in the world of calligraphy and painting. Sally Liu was flattered and said, "Little Lewis Lu, how did you manage to get this seat?" When she got the ticket yesterday, Sally Liu was too excited, so she didn't notice the seat number. It wasn't until today when she arrived at the scene that she realized that that was an absolute C position. Whether it was lighting, vision, or seat comfort, they were all adjusted to the best. The people who used to sit in this seat were all well-known collectors in the calligraphy and painting world, and ordinary people were not qualified to sit here. Sally Liu could already feel countless eyes looking at her, as if wondering which famous collector she was. Lewis Lu said calmly, "Maybe it's my luck!" "Where's the liar?" Sally Liu rolled her eyes at him: "If you are so lucky, you can buy lottery tickets." Sally Liu was so lucky that she won the best seats with two consecutive numbers, she didn't believe it, and she heard that this row of seats was all pre-determined by the auction house and would not be sold at all. Lewis Lu must be lying. However, facing Sally Liu's question, Lewis Lu just smiled and didn't speak. Sally Liu had no choice but to drag him to the bed after the auction was over and interrogate him carefully. At this moment, in the last row of seats, there were a few gloomy eyes staring at the backs of the two of them. It was the people who were offended by Lewis Lu at Elder Han's collection exhibition the night before yesterday. Harry Zhu snorted coldly and said, "Sitting in that kind of seat, you don't mind burning your butt, hum!" As he spoke, he moved his butt in pain. What kind of trash stool is this, with long nails? "Everyone..." At this time, the host came to the stage, made a common opening speech, and then began to display the auction items. The first few auction items were just a joke, and everyone was not very interested. Everyone was waiting for the finale. Finally, after several rounds of preparations for the auction items, the host said: "The item to be auctioned next was the long-awaited item, Master Louis’s new work." Wow! The audience was boiling. Those fanatical calligraphy and painting collectors had already begun to itch, and they couldn't help but want to raise their placards to bid. They saw a coolly dressed sexy girl carrying the auction item onto the stage. The host said deliberately, "I think everyone is curious about what Master Louis's new work is. I think you will be surprised when you see this work." "Please stop talking nonsense, show it quickly!" Everyone wailed. The host smiled, and delayed for a while. Seeing that everyone was impatient, he asked the sexy girl to lift the red cloth. The auction item finally showed its true face. However, when the photographers saw this painting, they were invariably stunned. The painting was indeed made by Master Louis, but... "Isn't this "Eagle Perched on a Tree"?" Someone recognized it immediately. What the sexy girl showed was the "Eagle Perched on a Tree" that had been out for a long time. "It's obviously an old work, how can it be said to be a new one? Dongzheng Auction House has also started to engage in such gimmicks?" "You guys are fraudulent, it's too much!" "Humph, although I'm very upset, I decided to take this “Eagle Perched on a Tree"." Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction. They were not dissatisfied with "Eagle Perched on a Tree", but with the fraudulent behavior of Dongzheng Auction House. Because even if the auction house doesn't play the gimmick of Master Louis’s new work, they would come to support it. But when they clearly mentioned a new work, they brought out an old painting. This was a bit of a play on everyone's feelings. As a loyal fan of Master Louis, anyone would definitely be disappointed. But when Elder Han saw this painting, his heart trembled suddenly. Didn't this "Eagle Perched on a Tree" be collected by me, why did it appear here? Could it be that the one in my collection is a fake? Or, did my home get burglarized? Elder Han suddenly felt uneasy. However, in the face of many aggrieved photographers, the host did not panic at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, this painting is indeed "Eagle Perched on a Tree", but it is indeed Master Louis’s new work." "What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled. "Didn't everyone notice that this "Eagle Perched on a Tree" is different from the previous ones?" The host's words made everyone thoughtful, and they opened their eyes wide to look at the painting. "I can see it, it's the red mark on the eagle's head, it's gone." When everyone heard it, they found that it was true. This "Eagle Perched on a Tree" had actually been circulated on the Internet, so most calligraphy and painting lovers have seen it. At this time, the showpiece in the hands of the sexy girl was indeed different from what was circulated on the Internet. The host said: "As you can see, this painting is actually a corrected version of "Eagle Perched on a Tree." "Because the red mark on the previous work was a mistake, Master Louis felt that it could not be so perfunctory, so he drew a new version." With this explanation, the auction buyers feel much more comfortable. "Let me just say, Dongzheng Auction House has a lot of confidence, and there is no need to hype it up." "Actually, I have long felt that the red mark in the previous version was a bit abrupt, and it really wasn't Master Louis's original intention." "Master Louis is really responsible. In order to appease our fans, he specially redrawn a version. I want to be a fan of Master Louis forever." "Yes, yes, Master Louis is my lover." Lewis Lu: You didn't have to. Sally Liu hugged Lewis Lu's neck excitedly and said, "I really hit the mark, little Lewis Lu, hurry up and praise your sister." Lewis Lu smiled and said, "Sister Sally is awesome." However, in stark contrast to the crowd, the expressions of the few people in the last row were truly wonderful. Especially Harry Zhu, whose complexion was even uglier than eating a stool. How dare he analyzed a lot that night, even Elder Han praised him as the roundworm in Master Louis's stomach. Unexpectedly, he lost his face.
