Chapter 109: Worthless Imitations

Take it down?

Director Feng was stunned and repeated, his face full of all kinds of puzzlement.

"Shen Qiu, do you know the purpose of our Lin'an this time? is to choose a suitable collection to participate in Li Jialong's family banquet treasure appreciation meeting, this imitation of "Spring River Evening Scene" does not seem to be too suitable, or we will stabilize first, and wait for Mr. Mo Ran's last collection to appear!

"Old Feng, you are ......" Zhang Manguo waved his hand at Director Feng and said: "Suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, Shen Qiu is sure to let him call the shots! Come on, Shen Qiu! I also think this painting is quite interesting, although you are bold to write the price, as long as you can win it, you can write as much as you want!"

"Shen Qiu, are you familiar with this painting again?"

Xue Li grabbed Shen Qiu tightly with one hand: "Tell me in a whisper, tell me what is the origin of this painting? Which famous artist's handwriting? You just tell me, I promise not to tell others!"

"This ......" Shen Qiu turned around and happened to meet Xue Li's clear and translucent eyes: "This may scare you if you say it!"

After Shen Qiu said that, he wrote down his valuation of this imitation on the question board, Director Feng couldn't help but be curious and wanted to take a look, and was immediately pulled back by Zhang Manguo: "Old Feng!

At the booth, Mo Ran held the microphone and signaled to everyone: "Okay everyone, the tasting time is over, please show the predictive estimate in your mind!"

The five bosses showed their prices respectively, in order of 280w, 340w, 150w and 220w given by Shen Jin.

The four bosses probably learned the lessons of the previous edict, and this time the imitation did not dare to give any high price, at this time the imitation on the stage is like a hot potato, not only can it not appreciate, but to a large extent, it will even lose money.

The last one to appear was already Shen Qiu's question board, and Shen Qiu didn't hide it, he raised the question board in his hand to show his valuation.

2300w, the highest in the field!

Call!

Many people were heard at the scene: "2300w? I'm afraid this Shen Qiu is crazy! Most of Shi Tao's authentic works are at this price! Shen Qiu gave an estimate of the authentic works? People with normal brains wouldn't play like this, right?"

"This kid is probably too inflated! The edict of the concubine just now was considered his luck, and he was still thinking about picking up some big leaks here? Who is Mo Ran? How can there be a big advantage for you to take advantage of, I don't think he is here to help Zhang Manguo, he is definitely here to pit Zhang Manguo!"

Director Feng's brain was buzzing, he had also participated in hundreds of auctions, large and small, and this was the first time he had seen a fake that could fetch tens of millions of dollars, Zhang Manguo and Shen Qiu, one really dared to say it, and the other really dared to do it.

Zhang Manguo looked indifferent, probably this money was nothing to him, just watching a play.

"Good!"

Mo Ran glanced around, nodded and smiled: "I have seen everyone's estimates, the current prices of the bosses are different, and I don't want to carry it around, just show the price I bought back!"

Mo Ran took out the card on the side of the collection, and held the card high to reveal the final purchase price!2400w, which was even 100w higher than Shen Qiu's estimated price.

The bosses couldn't figure it out, and they all expressed their puzzlement: "Mr. Mo Ran! Are you sure that the price of this fake is 2400w? You also said that it is a fake calligraphy and painting? How did you get the price of the real thing?"

"Mr. Mo Ran, I suspect you are joking with us? You played a trick on the edict just now, and this calligraphy and painting came again? You explained it clearly first!"

Director Feng thought of a possibility: "According to my observation, there may be only one possibility, Mr. Mo Ran must have seen it too, anyway, I didn't see the momentum of 2000w in this painting!"

Mo Ran smiled calmly: "To be honest, I'm not surprised by everyone's bids, what really surprised me is this Master Shen! I actually guessed the price range correctly! I don't know if everyone noticed, Master Shen didn't come to the booth to check, just stood in place and gave the price of 2300w! Only with the naked eye to cut off the price, this is something that Mo Ran admires! Master Shen! Come on! It's up to you to reveal the truth for everyone!"

Shen Qiu let out a sigh of relief, and for a while he had a lot of thoughts, to be precise, no one in the whole scene was more familiar with this imitation of "Evening Scene of the Spring River" than him, because he had already seen it once 79 years ago!

It was when Wang Qianshi was fifty years old, and on an extremely ordinary evening evening, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy walked into the antique shop.

The young man was dark-skinned and shabby, holding a pair of calligraphy and paintings in his hand and wanted to buy rice for a piece of ocean, because the family was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, and the family was about to be hungry, so he had to take out his favorite painting for money.

In troubled times, Wang Qianshi didn't care too much at the time, many people were poor and had no choice but to take out the treasures at home to cash, but when the young man took out this painting, Wang Qianshi was dumbfounded, it turned out to be Shi Tao, bitter gourd monk's "Spring River Evening Scene".

Wang Qianshi naturally saw the flaws and loopholes in this painting, but what really surprised him was the painter of this painting, the imitation of the handwriting, the stroke of the brush to the point of being fake, if it were not for the obvious difference on the paper, Wang Qianshi would not have seen anything unusual for a while.

After learning the truth, Wang Qianshi learned that the painting was copied by the boy himself.

The boy saved the copper plate for half a year, bought the best paper roll at the time, and it took three days to complete the work.

Wang Qianshi not only saw the boy's unique painting talent in this "Spring River Evening Scene", but even noticed the boy's handling of some details, which was more full and mellow than Shi Tao.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the boy is a genius in painting, from a certain point of view, the boy's exercises can almost be equal to Shi Tao!

Wang Qianshi finally gave the boy five copper plates, and boldly encouraged the boy, so that he confidently left his name on the painting, a seal "Zhengquan", encouraging him to create his own works.

"If you can have your own works, I, Wang Qianshi, will definitely receive the goods at a high price! You kid paint well! If you don't have enough money, come to me again, ten years! Ten years later! I, Wang Qianshi, will wait for your good news in Wanbaolou!"

In the next three years, Wang Qianshi was gone, so naturally he couldn't wait for the work of the young man, and he never expected that a hundred years later, this painting would be presented in front of Shen Qiu in such a way.

Perhaps by coincidence, Wang Qianshi couldn't wait for the boy's work, so that Shen Qiu made up for the regret.

It was also during this time that Shen Qiu knew that the young man who left his name "Zhengquan" was the most famous painter in the last century, and the most famous painter in China in the past five hundred years, and his fame even overshadowed Shi Tao, the original author of "Evening View of the Spring River".

This person is none other than Zhang Daqian, a modern Chinese painting painter!

The truth was revealed, the audience was boiling, Zhang Daqian's paintings can be described as sky-high products in the calligraphy and painting industry, if it is Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao, then his imitation can indeed overshadow Shi Tao, and only Zhang Daqian has this qualification in the past three hundred years!

"Master Shen, can you easily reveal it? How do you see that this painting is an imitation of Zhang Daqian?"

Mo Ran humbly asked Shen Qiu for advice.

Shen Qiu's mind immediately appeared in the picture of the young man: "This painting has the shape of Shi Tao, but it has the charm of Zhang Daqian, everyone pay attention to it, every trace of the pen is different from Shi Tao, there are traces of Zhang Daqian's pen! This point is easy to see if you refer to Zhang Daqian's works more! The biggest feature is the inscription at the bottom of the painting!

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Daqian's original name was Zhang Zhengquan, and he changed his name to Zhang Daqian later!"
