Chapter 481
Coming under a tree outside the church, Li Changheng asked in a low voice, "Professor, someone came to me and wanted to sell me an oil painting of a nun with a gloomy tone and distorted face.
But I am not sure about this kind of dark and depressive oil painting.
So wanted to ask if you have heard of that painting? "
Professor Oslo asked Li Changheng carefully for a while, all the details related to the oil painting of the evil spirit nun.
He frowned suddenly.
"Your Excellency, why are you interested in this kind of oil painting that cannot even be made public?"
Li Changheng spread his hands with a smile, "The only reason I am interested in oil painting is investment and legal tax avoidance.
If you have followed me, you must know that I have been bearish on the US dollar and British pound since last year.
Therefore, since a professional told me that the oil painting is of high value, of course the benefits of buying and collecting will be considered. "
Hearing this, Professor Oslo was relieved.
And after hearing that the oil painting could not be made public, there was no unnecessary expression on his face.
After all, some dark oil paintings are not much different from forbidden objects.
While it is not accepted by ordinary people, it also conflicts with the beliefs of most people.
Professor Oslo frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It's hard for me to draw conclusions without seeing the real thing.
But as far as I know, Francisco Goya has painted a lot of dark side oil paintings because of Napoleon's invasion of Spain and his own deafness.
It should be similar in style to the oil painting you described.
So I suggest you go to the Prado Museum, and maybe you can determine who owns the painting you want to acquire from the perspective of painting style and thought.
Of course, this is just a suggestion, because in the past few hundred years, no matter whether you are a great painter or a painting lover, there have been a lot of oil paintings that make people look uncomfortable.
Moreover, my lord, I strongly recommend that you don't collect such oil paintings if you don't have to.
Because, watching too much more or less evokes the dark side of our hearts. "
Li Changheng rolled his eyes at the smooth old man in front of him.
Having said so much, it is tantamount to not saying anything.
In the next few days, Li Changheng wandered around various museums, as well as various art museums at the University of London.
Then the more I checked, the more surprised I was.
Just like many gems and treasures have bad luck legends, there are also many strange rumors in oil painting collections.
What kind of oil paintings that are unlucky for the whole family, or unlucky for any collectors, he found no less than four in just a few days of searching.
Moreover, these things can also be found in the records.
Once science can't explain it clearly, everyone will think about occultism.
If someone is curious and starts to pay attention, all kinds of people with different purposes will jump out one after another.
Immediately after seeing the benefits, various explanations and stories will spread from person to person.
Zhang Tianzhi, who had followed him for several days, saw him frowning all the time.
After thinking about it, he whispered, "Boss, since you are familiar with the culture of the Celestial Dynasty, have you ever heard of luck?"
Li Changheng looked at Zhang Tianzhi with bright eyes, and he smiled and said, "You have achieved such great achievements and prestige in only three years.
If there are such things as evil spirits, I don't think they can hurt you, it's a question of whether they can get close to you with great luck.
And whether it is the East or the West, there is such a saying as belief.
Can it be understood in this way that the higher the prestige and the more people admire the person, the greater the power of faith and the more able to resist the attack of evil? "
When Li Changheng heard this, he immediately laughed.
Looking at Zhang Tianzhi with a serious face, he laughed and joked, "When you're talking nonsense, you're quite serious."
Zhang Tianzhi shrugged, "I have no plans to change jobs."
Li Changheng smiled and patted the other party's arm, silently thinking about luck, power of faith, etc., which are too illusory to talk about.
Just talk about money and the money you can help others earn.
It is the biggest weapon in his hand.
Taking a step back, even if there is an evil spirit nun, she is just a person who can't kill people directly with one move, but is called out by her real name, and then she is driven back to hell.
Judging from the plots of Annabelle, The Conjuring, etc., it is all about scaring people first, and scaring people to the point of nervousness, and only then can they exist.
If these evil things exist, then human beings can survive and become more and more prosperous, which means that there must be things and methods to restrain them.
If this thing appears in front of him, there is no need for a second round. It is guaranteed that the evil spirit will find out, and the plot that comes directly will be like changing the script.
The next day, there would be hundreds of demon hunters, wizards, priests, etc., who were dazed by the money, screaming and trying to kill him.
Even as long as the relationship and donations are in place, the bishop, the Templars and so on will bring a group of subordinates and live directly in his home.
Then, as long as he thinks about holy objects and treasures, it's fine to hang them all over his body.
No matter how bad it is, I can't change my home if I have money.
If not, I will live directly in the Vatican.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, it seems that the rich and powerful people are trying to kill themselves or want to continue their life and longevity, so they take the initiative to cause problems.
In countless movies, the targets of evil spirits are ordinary people.
I have never seen them take the initiative to provoke big shots.
It's a pity that Li Changheng doesn't know at all, but he actually has a super, super powerful background.
Feeling that things were not as dangerous as he thought, Li Changheng smiled and closed a book describing evil spirits.
He left the library with Zhang Tianzhi, and called Trenches and Barney who had been staying in Paris.
After making sure they were both okay, let them go back to Virginia.
As for Teng Teng's desire to enter politics, Li Changheng has no objection in principle, but rather than start from the bottom, it is better to become famous first.
Then go directly to the election of volunteers.
And this example, the trenches in another world, has succeeded and given the best path for Li Changheng to choose.
As for Virgil, who didn't know that all his oil paintings were gone, in Li Changheng's eyes at this time, he was just an old guy who was destined to be forced to retire because of his reputation and money.
During the two weeks that "Portrait of a Lady" was placed in the West Berlin Museum of Art, not only ordinary scholars have raised doubts.
There are also professors of art universities in France, West Germany, and the United States, who jointly pointed out that the V symbol on the left eye of the heroine is probably not a secret mark of Vivienne at all.
It's the real original painter, the pupils that were randomly drawn.
Now there is a shortage of experts from the East German Museum to stand up and say that Li Changheng's painting is of the same style as the painting in their collection.
It can almost be considered authentic.
