Zhao Zhongxiang is a well-known host. Why are the words he sells so valuable?
Zhao Zhongxiang was born as a host, but he has flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall, and he is very good at calligraphy. Zhao Zhongxiang has been retired for many years, and he took up calligraphy in Lao Youle. Zhao Zhongxiang's calligraphy has become a hot commodity since I don't know when. One word of Zhao Zhongxiang can be sold for 5,000 yuan, which is basically equivalent to a month's salary today. As for Zhao Zhongxiang's calligraphy, is it worth 5,000 yuan per word? In the final analysis, it is just one question: the value of Zhao Zhongxiang’s calligraphy. In this regard, the explanation given by Zhao Zhongxiang's friend "Master of Traditional Chinese Painting" Fan Zeng has a deeper meaning behind it.
Zhao Zhongxiang’s fame is not ordinary. It can be said that his hosting experience has influenced several generations. With his iconic voice and melodious mouth, everyone knows that the new year is coming. Zhao Zhongxiang has a standard Chinese character face, and his image and temperament are also very good. No matter how people today evaluate Zhao Zhongxiang, it is undeniable that the quality of the Spring Festival Gala in Zhao Zhongxiang's era is indeed the best period in the history of the Spring Festival Gala. After Zhao Zhongxiang retired, he had a lot of time to study calligraphy. In fact, Zhao Zhongxiang still has some foundation in calligraphy. People of their generation still have very high requirements for calligraphy. Basically, people who came from that era can write beautiful calligraphy.
Although there is no solid evidence on the Internet about Zhao Zhongxiang selling calligraphy and painting, many people on Weibo posted photos with Zhao Zhongxiang. Perhaps the truth about Zhao Zhongxiang’s selling of calligraphy and painting is just that “there is no price but no price.” "Market", after all, Zhao Zhongxiang is just a famous host, his calligraphy skills are so-so, and the collection value is not high, but the photo with Zhao Zhongxiang is different, it can be used by some interested people for publicity.
Zhao Zhongxiang did not respond to whether he was selling calligraphy or how much he would pay for it. He just said that he loved writing. In fact, in the current calligraphy and painting market, the price of Zhao Zhongxiang's "calligraphy and painting" is very low and very cheap. It has a price but no market, and has no collection value. Few people buy it. If Zhao Zhongxiang’s calligraphy and paintings with the word “福” can be sold at such a high price, in fact the “value” does not lie in the calligraphy and painting, but that those who seek calligraphy and painting have other “intentions”, that is, they want to take photos with celebrities, and they want to take photos with the once-famous Zhao Zhongxiang. After all, especially for some businessmen, taking photos with celebrities can be used for publicity, face, self-promotion and bragging. This is also the current situation in today's society.
Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang was just a pure hobby, but it was used for hype.
