In Jia Pingwo's study hangs a scroll, which reads: Beginning in January 2017, calligraphy: 4 feet 100,000, 4 feet square or 3 feet 70,000, plaque 40,000 words.
A word sells for 40,000, is Jia Pingwa's calligraphy so valuable? This may be the question of many people, we all know that Jia Pingwa is a famous writer, his literary attainments are naturally beyond doubt, but a writer cross-border sale of calligraphy, is it too "up" to make money?
Since ancient times, most literati have been ashamed to talk about money and make tacky, but Jia Pingwo is very calm about selling words to make money, Jia Pingwo said: "The income of calligraphy and painting makes me have no economic pressure, so that I no longer consider the market in writing, which can make me write quietly and write what I want to write." ”
You should know that in the early nineties of the last century, the life of writers can be described as poor, at that time there was no royalty system, writers had to pay for books, so that Lu Yao's works won the Mao Dun Literature Award and had to raise travel expenses to Beijing to receive the award, Chen Zhongzhong's poor family did not even have tea to entertain guests. Therefore, selling words to make money has relieved Jia Pingwo a lot of economic pressure.
Jia Pingwa's opportunity to sell words is also very interesting, he once wrote such a story in an essay, one morning, he took a scroll of calligraphy and paintings he wrote to the studio, passed by the breakfast shop to drink a bowl of peppery soup, did not expect that he forgot to bring money, but the owner of the breakfast shop did not mind, but asked him for a few handwritten words to pay for the meal.
Jia Pingwa was very happy to hear it, and took a roll of words in exchange for breakfast. After a while, Jia Pingwo wanted to drink Peppery Soup again, but found that the breakfast shop was not open, and when he inquired, he knew: the boss sold a roll of Jia Pingwo's brush characters, made a fortune, bought a façade house by himself, and moved away.
Even Jia Pingwo himself did not find that his popularity can also bring economic benefits. In fact, at the beginning, Jia Pingwa wrote for free to many small shops, and he did not expect that with these brush words, he also brought so many benefits to these people. Just like the industrial chain around today's famous artists, Jia Pingwa's calligraphy quickly became a sought-after commodity in the calligraphy and painting market.
More and more people are looking for Jia Pingwo to buy words, and his economic situation has gradually improved, and after not worrying about the pressure of life, Jia Pingwo originally thought that he could devote himself to writing more with peace of mind. But I didn't expect that there were more people asking for words, and my life was also greatly affected.
Some of these people who asked for words came to admire the name, while some were in order to sell for profit, in order to reduce some bad influences, and not affect their normal life, so Jia Pingwa had to set some thresholds.
At first, he was worth 500 yuan per word, but there were still many people who bought words, so he repeatedly improved runge. At the end of 2016, Jia Pingwo hung a large character in the studio study: since January 2017, calligraphy: four feet 100,000, 4 feet square or 3 feet 70,000, plaque 40,000 words.
The word painting to this price, and then willing to pay for Jia Pingwa's words is really loved and respected, the transaction has always been exquisite is a you love and my wishes.
However, this act has brought great controversy to Jia Ping, whether it is a literary work or a calligraphy work, some people naturally have to step on it. On the Internet, you can often see some fierce rhetoric saying that Jia Pingwa is dropping the "money eye", and some people criticize his words for not being up to the level of calligraphy, at most it is just a brush word.
Jia Pingwa did not care too much about these remarks, and for people's evaluation of his low level of calligraphy, he also generously admitted: "I wrote Chinese characters, not calligraphy." "Someone is willing to pay for it, and he is willing to write, which is something you love and I wish." And on the other hand, Jia Pingwo has always believed that whether it is a book or a word, the valuable will be cherished, and giving money is the greatest respect for the author.
Some netizens think that Jia Ping is a cunning businessman in his bones, and he also wrote a dozen oil poems: "The old Jia businessman hides his bones, and it is really good to make money and get rich." Write it into a word for sale, look closely at the surprised and ashamed face! ”
It can be said that Jia Pingwa's wanjin word is mostly the benefit brought by his fame, but we cannot deny that he does have good works worth people's tens of thousands of dollars to circulate. Whether it is writing books or writing, these are the things that Jia Pingwo has been persevering, and there is a writer's blood and sweat in these works, and it is also his charm to be willing to spend more money to appreciate his works.
Today, Jia Pingwa, who is nearly 70 years old, is still bringing us good works, and this time his vision is no longer limited to the catharsis of personal desires and passions, but focuses on society and human nature.
During his ten years in Xi'an, Jia Pingwo would often sit in the tea house downstairs from the studio, where he saw a group of beautiful women, dressed up one by one, but under the peaceful surface was a constant struggle. Looking at these twelve women, it seems to be the epitome of the female group portrait in modern society. They snuggled up to each other, hated each other, and finally couldn't escape parting ways.
The twelve women in the tea house left a deep impression on Jia Pingwo, but after a period of time without going to the tea house, Jia Pingwo found that the tea house had actually moved away, and after thinking for a long time, Jia Pingwo decided to use these twelve women as a prototype to record their stories, so two years later the new work "Temporary Sitting" came out.
In "Temporary Sitting", Jia Pingwo reveals this impetuous world without pretense through the desired survival of these female characters. Through this work, he wants to tell the reader that physical joy cannot relieve the suffering of life, and often many readers focus their attention on more explicit words, often ignoring the deep meaning behind the words.
In fact, not only Jia Pingwo writes about women, many authors will borrow female group life to express some dark places about human nature and society, the deeper the desire to write, the more bondage, the easier it is to go deep into the reader's heart, who knows whose heart lives in it?
Some netizens said: "Jia Pingwo can always write the unspeakable parts of human nature." "It is these unspeakable pains that are the most torturous, and this work can be so torturous."
Some people compare "Temporary Sitting" to the realistic version of "Jinling Thirteen Chao", and some people think that this book is more vulgar than "Waste Capital", in fact, these comments are too sharp, and each explosive work will more or less usher in a different sound.
In this regard, Jia Lao responded: "Some people think that it is customary because they only see superficial things, if you calm down and taste them, I believe you will gain different feelings." "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, calm down, and carefully read "Temporary Sitting" to gain your own insights."
People's life, but a short time to come to this world to sit, temporarily sitting, that is, a lifetime, this book is indeed worth our careful taste, every woman can find a true independent personality belonging to women, rekindle the yearning for life, life is short, may wish to come to this novel to sit for a while, relive old dreams, fill the regrets of life!
