After the art exhibition concluded.
The art world’s leading figures invited Su Yu and Lin Yanyu to a reception.
This once again stirred envy among Jin Chengxian and his group.
Those who could attend such receptions were all top figures in the art world.
Su Yu did not refuse their kind invitation. The painting "The Scream" had already been sent to Lin Chaoyang by the auction house officials.
After all, it was such a large painting, and Su Yu found it inconvenient to carry. Moreover, its immense value made it less secure at a hotel.
The officials provided complimentary mailing service, and Su Yu was happy to have it handled.
The entire art exhibition was live-streamed, and it must be said that Ting Yu once again stirred up explosive topics.
Painting shrimp in front of masters, receiving unanimous recognition and praise from several masters, and then purchasing a world-famous painting at the astronomical price of 260 million yuan.
What was originally a matter within the art world unexpectedly brought fame to Ting Yu, who was in the music industry.
#Ting Yu’s Ink Painting Shocks Top Industry Leaders!#
#260 Million Yuan for a Painting, A Heartwarming Reason Behind It!#
#Tear-jerking, He Could Have Pleased the Masters with Oil Paintings but Chose Chinese Ink Painting!#
#Ting Yu Uses Practical Actions to Tell Everyone That Ink Painting is No Inferior to Western Paintings!#
#Ting Yu Has Contributed So Much to Chinese Cultural Output, He Has Always Been at the Forefront of This Cultural Export War!#
Ting Yu painting shrimp at the art exhibition was edited by many Chinese netizens and uploaded to various platforms, sparking much discussion.
Especially among many renowned ink painters.
They all took to social media to express their personal views.
"I must say, seeing Ting Yu use traditional Chinese painting to impress top industry leaders in the art world is truly encouraging for those of us who study Chinese painting. In recent years, the status of ink painting in the world has been low, and even training classes disdain to offer ink painting courses, mostly focusing on oil painting."
"Ting Yu has always promoted Chinese culture; even in painting, he learns traditional Chinese painting. No one in China can compare to him in terms of cultural output!"
"He is not like those celebrities who only talk the talk; he walks the walk. That 'Six Shrimp Painting' was not exaggerated by Master Milo at all. From my ten years of studying ink painting, Ting Yu's shrimp have already reached a master level. It's a pity I didn't have the chance to see the original!"
These industry painters held Ting Yu in very high regard.
It even elevated to the aspect of cultural dissemination of ink painting.
With the participation of these individuals, particularly ink painters within the art circle, a genuine sense of pride welled up from the bottom of their hearts.
Concurrently, Ting Yu's reputation rapidly rose within the art community.
Being able to gain recognition from top international art masters with traditional Chinese ink painting was enough to demonstrate his skill.
Of course, besides those involved in the ink painting industry.
Even the official art association forwarded the live-stream footage of Ting Yu's "Six Shrimp Painting."
And they added a caption: "It's incredible that Ting Yu has such high attainments in traditional Chinese painting. This painting can definitely be considered master-level in the field of shrimp in Chinese painting. It contains no water, yet it captures all the spirit; the shrimp are lively and vigorous, full of vitality. The composition, the bold and light ink, and the lines are all incomparable!"
Similarly, while commenting on Ting Yu's exceptional painting talent, official Chinese painting masters lamented that he did not pursue painting as a career but instead chose to be a producer in the Mandopop music scene.
It was a complete waste of such great talent!
"Ting Yu's talent is terrifying. Not pursuing a career in painting is the greatest waste of his talent!"
The masters' excited yet regretful tone made people feel pity.
However, many viewers were delighted.
Because this statement was not only made by the Chinese painting masters from the art association but also by several other associations.
For instance, the Poetry Association and the Calligraphy Association had both said the exact same thing previously.
"Damn, is Ting Yu even human? His life is like a cheat code, he's amazing at everything!"
"This can no longer be described as a cheat code; it's just ridiculous!"
"It seems like in the entertainment sector, he hasn't touched movies and TV dramas yet…"
"Exactly. Fortunately, we have Jiangnan holding down the fort in the film and television sector. Otherwise, with Ting Yu being so versatile, it would make everyone else seem like trash."
"Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua – my music is the strongest!"
"Who can we even complain to about this?"
Everyone finally realized that in the entertainment sector, except for the film and television domain, he seemed to be invincible.
This made everyone else in the domestic entertainment industry seem rather mediocre.
However, the name Ting Yu had long been associated with versatility. No matter how many extraordinary things he displayed, although it was absurd, netizens and fans had already come to accept it.
In this regard, the film and television industry breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they had Jiangnan.
This way, people in the film and television sector wouldn't say: "It's the greatest waste of Ting Yu's talent that he doesn't engage in film and television!"
…
This art exhibition.
Besides Ting Yu's "Six Shrimp Painting" causing much discussion among industry insiders.
There was also the matter of him purchasing the world-famous painting "The Scream" at the high price of 260 million yuan.
And Lin Yanyu revealed during the live broadcast that this painting was purchased by Ting Yu as a gift for Lin Chaoyang.
#China's Good Son-in-Law Ting Yu!#
Therefore, this trending topic was also extremely popular.
And because of this incident, Ting Yu was given a new title.
Being able to spend such a large sum of money to buy a gift for his father-in-law, and snatching it from a world-class collector, already spoke volumes.
"It's no wonder he could marry Lin Yanyu, the number one heiress in the domestic entertainment industry…"
"This is in US dollars! He truly is willing to spend money!"
"It's just a task from his father-in-law. Although Lin Chaoyang is also wealthy, this amount of money is not much to him, but this gesture alone is enough to make Ting Yu a good son-in-law in China!"
"He's simply too extravagant. I was watching the live broadcast, and Ting Yu raised the bid without even flinching, appearing so calm and composed, like a template for the super-rich characters in web novels!"
"Is Ting Yu really that rich? This is 260 million US dollars!"
"Don't you know how profitable the domestic entertainment industry is? A single drama's payment can reach over a billion yuan, and traffic stars even have explosive contracts with sky-high salaries. It's very normal for Ting Yu to earn money; he's the pride of our Mandopop music scene!"
"To the one above, the version has been updated; Ting Yu is about to become the pride of the Blue Star music scene!"
"But I don't think this is good. After all, showing off wealth isn't a good thing."
"What do you mean showing off wealth? My Ting Yu has contributed so much to Chinese culture, doesn't he deserve to earn so much money?"
The domestic entertainment industry has always been called "silly and rich" by foreign media, as the payment for just one traffic drama can invest over a billion yuan, and traffic stars have been exposed with many sky-high salary contracts.
Therefore, this is precisely why overseas entertainment companies want to enter the domestic entertainment market.
Gaining a foothold in the domestic entertainment industry yields far greater returns than in the overseas market!
So, as the pride of the domestic entertainment industry, and even the global stage,
It is very normal for him to casually spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a painting.
However, his lavish spending also drew dissatisfaction from some wealth-resenting individuals.
Nowadays, while many envy the rich, there are also quite a few who are jealous of them, so some people bring this up.
However, such public opinion has absolutely no effect on Ting Yu at this moment. Compared to his contributions, showing off wealth is a minor matter that cannot stir up any significant waves. Moreover, he is not intentionally showing off wealth; he bought the painting because his father-in-law likes it, and making his father-in-law happy is a perfectly normal thing.
