A few years ago, a calligraphy calligraphy by Zhao Zhongxiang was worth hundreds of thousands. It is said that no one wants 800 now. Jia Pingwa's calligraphy may be valuable because it can still breathe.
I don’t know since when, people have become interested in so-called famous names. Hanging two of them in your home or place of business not only enhances your status, but also gives people the impression that you seem to be having an affair with celebrities. Otherwise, how could others inscribe themselves? Woolen cloth? But one thing is that when you ask him where the words come from, he usually won't say that he bought them with money.
Writers, engineers of the human soul, usually have a pair of piercing eyes that can see people and things deeply. How can they not be able to see the thoughts of ordinary people? So, he began to take advantage of his celebrity to the extreme, seize the time, seize the opportunity, and become rich!
Buying up and not buying down is a common psychology in the world. The higher the price is raised, the stronger the sense of honor will be. Therefore, in order to satisfy people's vanity, and of course to make their pockets fuller, the price has also taken the opportunity to keep pace with the times!
Another reason is probably what Qiao Mu, a fellow from Jia Pingwa, said, that there is a suspicion of exchange of interests...
Oh, let’s stop talking about Teacher Jia first. until. I will tell you two stories below. Just listen to them as a joke!
It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, businessman Hu Xueyan came to Beijing, intending to bribe the ministers of the DPRK and China to smooth the matter of borrowing foreign money. He first bribed Zhang Jing and Xu Yongyi of the Military Aircraft Department, and the path Xu Yongyi drew was: First, he must open up the path of Baojian Baozhongtang, which was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs at that time. How to get through it? Xu Yongyi revealed the secret.
There is an antique store called Haiyue Shanfang in Liulichang. Gu Yingchun was sent by Hu Xueyan to the store and met Zhu Tiekou, the worker in the store. From Zhu Tiekou's mouth, the "secret of landmines" was revealed. It turns out that these stores are all communicating with the high officials of the imperial court. For example, if your child is going to Beijing to take the exam and you want to bribe the examiner, then you go to a bookstore owned by someone on a certain street. The people there will naturally negotiate a price with you and help you cook. Want to find a job or an official position? You have to ask us to help you! What to do? I would first ask how big is the thing you want to do? Then take out the corresponding antique and tell you its price. Different antiques have different prices and do different things. When the time comes, you take the antiques you bought to the home of the person who wants to entrust them to you. He will understand everything when he sees them! Why does he understand so well? Because these things were originally collected by his family!
So, why do you want to do such a trick? How clear, to use Zhu Tiekou’s words, is: to put it bluntly, it is selling an official position, overpaying, openly accepting bribes, and causing inconvenience, so someone needs to be an intermediary to conceal his whereabouts! It is said that this method was invented by He Shenhe.
What? What would I do if I became famous? I will learn from the next story...
A few years ago, I heard someone say that there was a restaurant opened in a temporary mobile home near a highway checkpoint in a certain place. Although the food in the restaurant is of inferior quality and high price, business is still booming. What's going on?
When the staff at the checkpoint checks the vehicle, if there is an overloaded or illegal vehicle, the staff will take away the driver's license and park the car in the yard and ignore you. When it was almost time for dinner, he came out to deal with it: You will be fined however much, and he will not only be fined heavily, but also have to unload the overloaded goods. The drivers were reluctant, so they nodded and begged with nice words. The staff looked at the watch and said: "It's time, I have to go to eat first, and I'll deal with it when I get back. Oh, it's time for you to eat too, right? There is a restaurant over there, you should go there and have some food. When you arrive at the restaurant to eat, the restaurant owner will come over and ask you: "Where is it? Is your car impounded?" After chatting, he will tell you that he can help you get your driver's license. Come back and ask how much money you can pay? You understand even if I don’t say what’s next, right?
Okay, now let’s talk about what I would do if I became a great writer, editor-in-chief of a magazine, and a local celebrity!
First of all, let my relatives open a few "Bazhan Changliao calligraphy stores" in front of my home and near my memorial hall.
Then spread the word and let people know that if they want to get help from me, go to the calligraphy store. When you get there, someone will naturally tell you what to do...
You said, when you get there Now, will my great calligraphy be worth at least ten thousand gold per word?
There is poetry and calligraphy in the belly, which comes from China.
Once a person becomes famous, he becomes the master of the house.
One thing is good, a hundred things are good, and a thousand things are good.
Flowers bloom even in shit and urine.
One word is 40,000. Jia Pingwa’s calligraphy is based on his identity and status. In my opinion, his calligraphy is not as good as mine. But I am still an ordinary citizen. I have no money, no power, and no one can help me. This is the fact. For 40,000 a word, someone will buy it, and we can’t control it. We don’t know the inside story behind it
First of all, this is a hype created by an inhuman person. There are also a group of inhuman people working as brokers and pimps, and there are even some inhuman people who are corrupt and bending the law, so... A market that is not human has been formed.
To be a human being, you must first enable yourself to become a human being. People have two selves, one is the social self, and the other is the animal self. The social ego is self-disciplined and good, while the animal ego is heteronomous and evil. Self-discipline means adhering to the moral bottom line, and heteronomy means the condemnation from the public and the legal sanctions from the government. Morality includes: right and wrong, right and wrong, good and bad. Talking about right and wrong is seeking truth; talking about right and wrong is seeking goodness; talking about good and bad is seeking beauty. Truth, goodness and beauty are the ultimate concerns of mankind. A person who does not distinguish between right and wrong is no different from a lower-level animal, so he cannot be considered a human being.
A person without a sense of justice is not worthy of being called a scholar. A scholar must be responsible, have feelings for his family and country, suppress evil and promote good, and have character. To have character is to have a sense of justice and not to be vulgar.
I have always believed that Jia Pingwa’s selling of calligraphy is related to the situation of his good friend, the famous writer Lu Yao.
In Jia Pingwa’s life, 1992 must be an unforgettable year for him. This year, Jia's wife resolutely divorced him because of an "affair" with an actress named Xia; this year, his good friend Lu Yao, who became famous for "The Ordinary World", died of illness.
There are rumors that Lu Yao said something to Jia Pingwa before his death, which made him rush out of the door and burst into tears: "Look at me like this, you should take this as a warning and be careful! ”
Undoubtedly, everything that happened to Lu Yao, who was depressed and impoverished, greatly stimulated Jia Pingwa. People who are afraid of poverty are especially concerned about money!
Around that time, Jia Pingwa’s calligraphy brought him benefits for the first time: one word changed a pair of leather shoes! In that era, leather shoes could be considered a luxury item. Lao Jia, who tasted the sweetness, started his career of selling letters.
Jia Pingwa himself once said that he did not write much about his posts, which can be seen from his words. Writing with a hard pen, this is the impression given by his calligraphy.
But Jia Pingwa is smart, at least smarter than Lu Yao. Although "The Ordinary World" won the grand prize, the bonus and royalties were not enough for him to repay his debts.
Lao Jia’s cleverness lies in the fact that he successfully transplanted the added value of his achievements and honors in literature to his calligraphy. In other words, when others buy his calligraphy, they don’t just buy his calligraphy. The word, more importantly, bought his fame. Therefore, don’t judge Lao Jia’s calligraphy by the normal price of calligraphy.
Having a piece of Jia Pingwa's calligraphy hanging in your home is a very "faceful" thing. Jia Pingwa is giving a platform to buyers!
Recently, the incident involving Lao Jia’s daughter Qian Qian has caused a stir. I wonder if this incident will damage Lao Jia’s reputation? However, I do envy Qian Qian's "cucumber".

40,000 per word, why is Jia Pingwa’s calligraphy so valuable? The reason is very simple. First of all, you need to know what kind of person Jia Pingwa is. Jia Pingwa is a famous writer and a man of culture. How can his words not be valuable? There is also Zhu Zhiwen, whose calligraphy can be sold for 200,000, and Zhao Benshan's calligraphy, which can be sold for 500,000. There are many such people. Regardless of how long they have studied, whether their skills are deep, whether their calligraphy is good or not, and whether they are at the level of calligraphers, just because they have a famous name is worth money.
If you are not convinced, just give it a try. No matter how good your writing is and how profound your skills are, you are not famous or well-known. No one wants your words, let alone 40,000 per word, even 40 cents per word. Real society is so strange.
The consequences of market failure. A good economy is a sound economy. The way to come up with this crunchy solution is the combination of the market and the government. This requires two slaps to work together. Although the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee highlighted the "decisive role" of the market, this cannot mean that the superstructure is in vain. The cultural industry market, like other markets, requires government supervision. If market supervision is lost, market failure will also occur. Market failure of course also includes cultural market failure! The failure of the cultural market means that the bad currency of culture eliminates the good currency of culture. The manifestation is that the positive and high-spirited values ????have collapsed and the spirit of decadence is rising. It is the destruction of the yellow bell and the thunder of the tile cauldron. It is the slanderer Gao Zhang and the wise man Wuming. It is the triumph of the foolish and the treacherous and the frustration of the wise and the brave. Therefore, the situation of "God's language, ferocious ghosts" and "living ghosts making trouble in the world" is formed.
In a market economy, the words of famous people are valuable. This is normal. Some people are willing to fight, and some are willing to suffer. As long as someone wants it, they can sell it for one million yuan per word, and no one can control it.
Are Jia Pingwa’s calligraphy calligraphy? no! Does it look good? It doesn’t look good! Why is it still so valuable? Because "kung fu lies beyond calligraphy"!
