Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 259: Elegant death
Captain Zhao smiled involuntarily: "Then, we don't have many artworks in our hands. Compared with other civilizations, it's really not on the same level as the soil buns."
Because the meeting was not informal, he joked: "In other words, a hillbilly like us who doesn't understand art might make people feel like a nouveau riche?"
"It's not impossible..."
Another deputy captain surnamed Zheng also joked: "Zhang Yuan, the painting given to you by the painter Irvine may be regarded as the highest-grade in our spacecraft. If it is to be used as an ornament by then, I have to borrow it from us...Of course, I just borrow it, and I will definitely return it and pay you the rent."
Zhang Yuan also smiled twice.
But...the facade, culture and heritage of a civilization can't be decorated with a single painting...
After everyone calmed down, Zhang Yuan continued: “There are so many civilizations in the universe, and each civilization has the art of each civilization. If the number is large, there will be a difference between high and low. Then the question, if you follow the human The pure point of view, those high-value interstellar artworks must have extremely demanding requirements, and they can't be the stuff of bad streets."
Several of the experts frowned, "It sounds reasonable... But, Mr. Zhang Yuan, does your discussion of interstellar art here make any sense to us? Do the Gliese people want to use Their art comes to trade with us, which obviously doesn’t work. Even if the artwork is indeed valuable, we can’t distinguish the value."
They don’t understand why Zhang Yuan suddenly changed the topic to the artwork. This is not the point at all!
"No, listen to me!"
Since Zhang Yuan has said so, they just held back their patience and continued to listen.
To judge the value of a work of art, first of all, of course, the artistic quality, including the feelings contained in it, the meaning of expression, the artistic level of presentation and other relatively imaginary things... These things are not good, it depends on personal preference.
"According to the eyes of our human artists, their artistic standards are still quite good, that is to say, the emotions contained in them have a certain degree of commonality."
Secondly, the civilization that created this work of art must have a long-standing culture... Whether it is the history of struggle that has risen all the way, or the tragic and bumpy history, these histories must be sufficiently narrative.
There must be a story to have enough charm. The artists on earth, Picasso and Van Gogh, each have their own unique story.
"Since it is an interstellar artwork, not only the artist is required to have a story, but the story of the entire civilization must also be interesting enough."
"The Gliese civilization meets these requirements without a doubt. The sprout of science has not emerged for a long time, and it was finally enlightened by an alien civilization, but it got stuck because there was no oxygen."
"A great tragedy!"
Finally, of course, there are various additional conditions. For interstellar civilization, forging an artwork is simply too simple. These additional conditions are all anti-counterfeiting information.
For example, this work of art can find a clear place of origin, it cannot be a illicit product, it has a bright future; it must have a clear transaction record, and something snatched from a corner is not recognized. .
The lack of any anti-counterfeiting information will greatly reduce the transaction value of this artwork.
Li Zhendong added: "Art, high-end, high-grade things must be civilized and elegant, and cannot tolerate any stains. Therefore, there is no such thing as looting. Of course, it is also possible that this interstellar merchant cherishes himself more. Anyway, he did not directly bully the Gliese civilization."
One last point...
It is best to be an orphan!
This is...
The real point!
Zhang Yuan said one sentence at a time: "...that is to say, the civilization that created the artwork is completely extinct, or for various reasons cannot reproduce similar artwork, it will greatly increase the value of the existing artwork. ."
"It is an inevitable event that things are rare and expensive. When the artist is alive, the price of the artwork must not be too high, because similar art can still be produced continuously. Only when he is dead, the price will be true Rise up."
When this point was discussed, the whole answer was ready!
In an instant, the whole meeting room was silent!
Why did that interstellar merchant do this?
What is its motivation?
Why donate 13 universal factories? !
Because of kindness, compassion, sympathy?
No, not at all! !
The professors who were a little sleepy suddenly contracted their pupils, thinking of a very sinful possibility!
Fifty thousand years ago, an interstellar merchant passed by and found the Gliese civilization stuck in the "Electric Age".
After the two parties conducted a transaction, the interstellar merchants were very "generous" that they could not only help the Gliese civilization complete the electrification, but also give away 13 universal factories, so that Gliese people can live a better life. .
You got what you want, I got what I want, and both parties are happy...
The Interstellar Merchant left, as if only doing a trivial thing. No one condemns them, even if they know it, they will sincerely praise how helpful, kind, friendly, and generous civilization is.
The weak and ignorant Gliese people were really grateful, and they were enthusiastic, trembling, and admiring.
"How so... so lucky we are!"
However, the next history is doomed!
In the face of huge productivity that is difficult to control, they jumped into the fire pit without hesitation. The flame, what a beautiful thing, is a legend, a myth, and an existence that can't be imagined in a dream.
Inadvertently, the whole person has burned up, even they don't know it~IndoMTL.com~ is still praising sincerely, praising the generous extraterrestrial civilization, and praising from the heart.
They don't even know that they have been burned to ashes by the raging flames!
In the end, there is only a pile of residues that will never change, witnessing this period of history, as the "anti-counterfeiting mark" of this transaction!
Zhang Yuan said lowly: "That's it, they will never be able to create similar art anymore."
"The prices of those traded goods naturally rise, don't they?"
"This is what we guessed, the real motive of this interstellar merchant who gifted 13 universal factories!"
In the bleak starry sky, a pair of ruthless eyes appeared, shattering the so-called morality, benevolence, and etiquette.
Sorry, in order to make this transaction more valuable...
Please, please,
Go to hell.
