Chapter 108: Imitations

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor's edict and the concubine's edict are actually two different things. ”

Shen Qiu stood in the center of the platform, the warm light sprinkled on his body, although he was dressed simply, he couldn't hide the heroic spirit all over his body, even if he was on the same stage with a boss like Mo Ran, his aura quality was not inferior at all.

"In ancient times, the emperor's edict was written by the emperor himself, and finally attached to the emperor's seal, and the edict of the side concubine we saw in front of us was different, and those who are proficient in the history of the harem of the Qing Dynasty should know that the edict of the side concubine was not written by the emperor himself, but the eunuch in charge of the pen, and finally the big seal that the emperor fell on it! Unless it is the queen's canonization edict, it is the emperor who wrote it himself. ”

"So on the whole, this side concubine edict is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface, and the value is far from being comparable to the emperor's edict, the edict is a royal item and is rarely exposed to the outside world, like this case, it should be that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace secretly came out of the palace back then!"

Shen Qiu's words are well-founded, Wang Qianshi has handled a lot of such edicts during the Republic of China, basically all of them are edicts to canonize all kinds of concubines, although the appearance is gorgeous, the value can only be regarded as half, and the people who come to sell goods are basically eunuchs and palace maids who escaped from the palace.

Mo Ran couldn't help but nod at Shen Qiu: "Master Shen is right, the emperor's edict and the canonization edict are indeed an extreme difference, this is an unpopular detail, I didn't expect Master Shen to be knowledgeable at a young age, and he is not a talent among the younger generation in the antique world! Mo Ran admires and admires! At the same time, congratulations to Boss Zhang for winning the first collection at a price of 130w!"

The first collection was successfully acquired by Zhang Manguo, and several other bosses all looked at each other, knowing that Mo Ran's collection was famous for its high price, but he didn't expect that this time he would actually do the opposite, and there was a million-level collection.

Mo Ran asked the waiter to serve tea and some delicious snacks to everyone, and then the second special collection was officially unveiled.

The gossip black and white booth immediately lit up a calligraphy and painting, and when the lights were on, there was an uproar, and some people recognized the source of this calligraphy and painting at first sight, Shi Tao's "Spring River Evening Scene" picture!

It is the same painter as Shen Qiu's "Stream Crossing the Mountain" found at Xianjiaqiao, that is, the work of Shi Tao, who calls himself a bitter gourd monk!

During the Qing Dynasty and even to the present, it is also an undisputed national treasure-level work, and the painter's brushwork, color saturation, and mountain peaks and rivers are all sung together, and in terms of value, it can definitely be photographed in the top ten of China's top ten paintings.

The enthusiasm of several bosses was instantly raised: "Mo Ran can do it! You can get this kind of awesome painting! If you put it in any museum, it will be a treasure of the town hall! Mr. Mo Ran is awesome when he shoots it!"

"Damn! This Mo Ran, this is the rhythm of draining our family! This kind of masterpiece has to start at least 300 million!"

"Don't get excited, everyone, listen to me slowly......"

The excitement of the crowd was completely expected by Mo Ran, and he asked people to turn the light to the brightest state, trying to present all the details of the painting in all aspects.

"The work of the bitter gourd monk, the Qing Dynasty painting master Shi Tao! I will not introduce much of this fame, I think everyone here is more familiar than me, Shi Tao as the first person in the Qing Dynasty painters, his own identity is very special, although he is a painter in the early Qing Dynasty during the Kangxi period, but the blood of the Ming Dynasty is indeed flowing. ”

"Most of Shi Tao's works come from the period after he became a monk, especially this "Evening View of the Spring River" has brought the characteristics of his painting style and lines to the limit, if this painting is placed on any auction house outside, the price will definitely not be less than 300 million! But these are all gossip, what I want to tell you is that this painting next to me, in front of everyone, is actually not Shi Tao's real work!

Yes?

As soon as these words came out, several bosses were in an uproar again, and the expressions on the faces of each boss were uncertain.

"What the hell is going on with this Mo Ran today? Doesn't it mean that he doesn't sell fakes at his private auction? Now he openly makes a fake to sell? Is this clearly playing tricks on us?"

"Whose work are you copying is not good, but you are copying Shi Tao's work? You have said that it is an imitation? Then who would dare to buy it! But everyone knows that any imitation is worthless! If you buy it back, it will only depreciate!"

The bosses talked a lot, but Mo Ran's expression was not surprised: "The situation is also clear to you, although this work is an imitation, but its skill can be said to be to the point of perfection, Mo Ran I have seen a lot of imitation Shi Tao's works, this work is the best I have seen so far, almost comparable to Shi Tao's technique! Okay everyone! I only say so much about this painting, you can come to the stage to taste, and then give you the corresponding estimate!"

More than 10 experts and professors around the picture of "Evening View of the Spring River" went around, and a few shook their heads on the spot to show dissatisfaction, in the antique world has always been like this, as long as any treasure is stained with the word imitation, first of all, there is no confidence, and the baby without confidence will naturally not be sold at a high price.

This is the law that has been immutable for thousands of years.

Shen Jin had an impatient expression on his face, originally he thought that he could get a treasure from Mo Ran, and he could reach a pair with the Kangxi pastel Buddha statue in Xianjiaqiao, so that he could shine at Li Jialong's treasure appreciation conference.

But now the first is an edict from a side concubine, and the second is an imitation, and these two collections are completely unqualified to be on Li Jialong's family banquet and treasure appreciation conference!

"Mr. Jin, the painting is really good!" Zhao Kaiwen, as an expert in the calligraphy and painting world, turned sideways to remind Shen Jin.

"If it weren't for Mo Ran's mouth, almost no one would be able to identify its authenticity, in my opinion, at least it is a copy of a famous artist's work, even if the price is large, hundreds of thousands can be taken down, and there will be a certain amount of appreciation in the future. ”

"Hmph!" Shen Jin shook his head with a look of disdain: "Imitations can only be imitations, and they will never be on the big stage, let alone hundreds of thousands, even if they are given away to me for nothing, I really regret coming to this bullshit auction this time, it sounds quite high-end, but in fact, he is also a fool boasting on the stage! It's boring! I will pay a random price later!"

......

On the opposite seat.

Director Feng turned around and came back and sighed: "Awesome, amazing! Brother Zhang! Mo Ran is right, the quality of this imitation is simply amazing! I can't see anything wrong, but after careful consideration, many details of this painting actually copy his own style characteristics, and even some of the details of the scenery are more mellow than Shi Tao, how can I say it! This technique makes me feel a sense of déjà vu, and the painter who imitates it must not be simple, otherwise Mo Ran would not have brought it to this kind of occasion!"

"Shen Qiu, what do you think?"

Zhang Manguo didn't rush to make a decision, turned around and asked Shen Qiu behind him, Shen Qiu didn't seem to be interested in this painting, and he didn't go to the booth to taste it just now.

saw a smile on the corner of Shen Qiu's mouth: "To be honest, no one present is more familiar with this painting than me, because this work is closely related to me!" Not only do I know that he is a replica, but I even know who made it!"

"Oh?"

It's good that Shen Qiu didn't speak, even Zhang Manguo was shocked when he spoke, first of all, Mo Ran would not make this one public before this, Shen Qiu naturally wouldn't taste it in advance, and then Shen Qiu didn't go to the booth just now to take a closer look, and he didn't know what details and characteristics of this painting were.

In other words, Shen Qiu could tell whose work it was with just the naked eye?

"Shen Qiu, I really obey you for the edict just now!"

Director Feng embarrassedly reminded Shen Qiu: "But you haven't seen this painting yet, you can see it by long-distance naked eye observation? Brother Zhang and I are old, don't fool me, you kid!"

"Shen Qiu, could it be that you have clairvoyance?"

Even Xue Li, who was sitting next to her, felt incredible and was skeptical of Shen Qiu's statement.

Shen Qiu nodded indifferently: "Uncle Zhang, if you can trust me, I will help you bid for this painting! It's easy to take it......"
