Chapter 194: Famous Artists Imitate Famous Artists
"Hmph, what if there is a grudge, in this world, only interests are eternal. ”
The woman raised her head and snorted coldly.
If Su Chen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this woman was the mysterious woman he saw in the pharmacy at the beginning.
"But he may not be able to help us, will he?" said the Tibetan friend.
The woman was silent for a moment, which was the main problem at the moment.
"This deal with the family is the biggest we have made in years, and there is no room for error. So be sure to find someone who is foolproof. This Su Chen is currently the most suitable. The woman said in a deep voice.
"I know this, but we have always suspected that the Hunters are behind the family. This organization is so mysterious, we have been investigating them, but we have not been able to find any clues, if we rashly bring a stranger, will it arouse their vigilance?" the Tibetan friend whispered.
"So what, they don't trust us anyway, and we don't trust them, I will inform the above about this matter, the key is how to convince this one called Su Chen. The woman said.
"It's, okay. Just do it as you wish. ”
……
In the Golden Jue Hotel, the identification activities are still in full swing.
After the incident just now, Su Chen's status among the four experts has obviously improved, and Xu Ming even took the initiative to ask Su Chen to help him share a little appraisal work.
Because Su Chen's appraisal speed is the fastest among the four, he can identify the antique in less than a minute.
This also made Sun Bufan and the three of them secretly surprised in their hearts.
You must know that the identification of antiques is a very energy-consuming thing, if you encounter a fake with a very high level of imitation, then you must use 120,000 points of careful attitude to identify, especially in such a special environment, once they identify the wrong, once it is discovered, it can be a huge blow to the reputation of everyone.
So even though Qian Bao was ninety percent sure that the calligraphy was genuine, he still asked everyone to help him identify it, just because he didn't want to make mistakes.
But Su Chen didn't seem to be worried about such a problem at all, the appraisal speed was scary, and they took the time to pay attention to it, and found that Su Chen's appraisal results were correct.
This has to convince them.
Time passed quickly, and when it was almost over, another Tibetan friend brought a calligraphy and painting.
"There are a lot of calligraphy and painting collections today. Sun Bufan said with a chuckle.
Qian Bao carefully examined it, and his brows furrowed slightly.
This painting is Zhao Mengjian's famous painting "Three Friends of the Cold Year", the painting skills are exquisite, the brush and ink are delicate, and the layout is sparse, which does not match Zhao Mengjian's style, and if he remembers correctly, this painting, the real work should now be collected in the Taiwan Island Museum.
So the painting should be a fake.
But the strange thing is that the age of the paper of this painting definitely does not look like modern times, and the year should not be shallow.
After thinking about it, he looked at Su Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, you can take a look at this painting." ”
Su Chen happened to finish appraising a small ivory carving cup at this time, and when he heard Qian Bao's words, he reached out and took the painting.
"Three Friends of the Cold Year"?
It's not like ah, the style is wrong, but this picture scroll looks like it should be the Ming Dynasty......
"This is an ancient painting of a famous teacher imitating a famous teacher!"
After a minute, Su Chen said with great certainty.
"Famous teachers imitate famous teachers?" The owner of this painting is a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin, with a simple atmosphere, and his face is still a little nervous, looking at Su Chen with some restraint at this time.
"Yes!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "Congratulations, although your painting is not the authentic work of Zhao Mengjian in the Northern Song Dynasty, his author is even more famous than Zhao Mengjian." ”
At this time, receiving Su Chen's reminder, Qian Bao also remembered something: "Liuru, Liuru, Liuru layman...... This is Tang Bohu's work?"
He remembered the four small characters he had just seen in the lower left corner of the painting.
"It's Tang Bohu. Su Chen said with a smile.
Tang Bohu's three words immediately caused a burst of excitement at the scene, and countless people began to talk about it one after another.
Liu Yueyi naturally knew Tang Bohu's name, especially when she was close, she heard Su Chen's words "famous teachers imitate famous teachers" very clearly, so for the sake of the effect of the show, she stepped forward very smartly and began to interact with experts.
"May I ask Mr. Qian, you said that this is the work of Tang Bohu, and Mr. Fang Cai Su also said that this is a work of 'famous teachers imitating famous teachers', can you explain it to our friends on the spot?"
"Okay, no problem. I believe everyone can see that what is made on this painting is the Song Dynasty painter Zhao Mengjian's "Three Friends of the Year and the Cold", but there is no Zhao Mengjian's signature, but here, there are six small characters such as laymen, if there are friends who are familiar with Tang Bohu, you should know that this is the famous genius of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu's number, and the history of this "Three Friends of the Year and the Cold" painting paper is at least more than five or six hundred years. ”
Tang Bohu this person, patriarch Zhao Mengjian, but the paintings, the colors are bright and elegant, the body is beautiful, and his mountain bird paintings are long in ink and wash freehand, free and easy, which is very in line with the style of this painting. Therefore, we can conclude that this painting was made by Tang Bohu. Speaking of which, I believe you should have some understanding of the term 'famous imitation of famous artists'. ”
In fact, this phenomenon does not appear once or twice in calligraphy and painting works. Because of many famous artists, his calligraphy and painting style was basically patriarchal ancients at the beginning. For example, we just met the fake copy of Mi Fu, Mi Fu this person, is extremely good at copying, I have met Mi Fu copy of Yan Zhenqing's works. ”
Qian Bao is worthy of being the president of the Cultural Relics Association, and his remarks are reasonable, causing everyone to nod their heads and applause.
However, it was obviously Su Chen who was more in the limelight, Fang Cai, but he identified that this painting was the work of a famous teacher imitating a famous teacher, and most of the applause was for him.
"That'...... Four experts, how much is my painting worth?"
The owner of this painting obviously didn't understand a lot of things Qian Bao said, but he knew one thing, that is, his painting should be quite valuable, so he couldn't help but ask with a hint of excitement.
Among the four people, Su Chen opened an antique shop, so he was the most vocal, seeing that everyone looked at him, Su Chen said with a smile: "Tang Bohu is very famous, although the level of calligraphy and painting may not be able to surpass Zhao Mengjian, but in terms of value alone, this painting is not lower than the original, and the market price should be about two million!"
"Two million!"
This price also surprised the audience, after all, antiques with a price of millions are considered to be the best of antiques.
The middle-aged man was also excited when he heard this price, his hands were clenched together, and his eyes began to flicker, obviously facing a tangled choice in his heart at this moment.
This painting is considered to be the ancestral heirloom of his family, and it has been kept by his grandfather for as long as he can remember, and then when his grandfather died, the painting was passed on to his father, and this time, it was his father, who was over seventy, who asked him to bring this painting here for appraisal.
In fact, at the beginning, although the middle-aged man didn't think that the painting was fake, it was worth one or two hundred thousand at most, but now the price of two million made him a little frightened.
Two million, if you sell it, your family will be able to live a good life!
Su Chen had been paying attention to the middle-aged man's expression, and when he noticed his entanglement, his heart moved.
The middle-aged man stepped forward to pick up the painting, but his footsteps did not move, and he hesitated for a while before his gaze became firm.
"Four experts, host, I want to sell this painting on the spot, I don't know if it's okay?"
He also figured it out, a painting, can't be eaten, can't be worn, even if it's precious, it's useless to him and this home, antiques, it's not something people like them can play with.
The only thing this painting did for him was to sell it for money.
When Liu Yueyi heard this, her face suddenly moved, she had an idea in her heart, and hurriedly said, "This gentleman, are you sure that you will make this painting on the spot now?"
"Yes. The middle-aged man nodded firmly.
Liu Yueyi nodded, then walked quickly to the backstage and reported the matter to her supervisor, who heard this and immediately said, "This is a good gimmick, you go and organize a simple auction." Request a cheque or on-site online banking transfer. ”
Back at the scene, Liu Yueyi's cheeks were a little red, obviously very excited.
The key to the ratings of a program depends on how exciting it is, and the drama of this live auction can at least add a lot of highlights to the show, especially if this drama is still real, not the arrangement of their program team.
When the audience at the scene heard the news that Tang Bohu's imitation of the three friends of the year was going to be auctioned live, they were all excited, although most people knew that they could only look at it, but it didn't prevent them from being excited, didn't it?
"Just now everyone also heard the valuation of our Su Chen experts, but because it is an auction, so we set the low price at 500,000, and now all the personnel on the scene can participate in the auction, this auction will be supervised and guaranteed by our Jinnan TV station throughout the process to ensure fairness, justice, and do not charge any intermediary fees. ”
Because it was a temporary auction, it was not so particular, and after the low price was determined, the auction process quickly began.
"Six hundred thousand!"
"I'll give 700,000!"
"Eight hundred thousand. ”
The price climbed extremely fast, and it didn't take long for it to reach 1.5 million, and at this time, the bid slowly decreased.
Although the market price is about two million, basically except for the one that I like very much, there are few people who can sell two million, after all, two million is not a small number.
Of course, there are also real rich people in the audience for few reasons.
"One million nine million!"
A middle-aged man sitting at the front of the audience, wearing a Mao suit and a little rich, raised his hand to quote.
Liu Yueyi knew this person, and it was one of the sponsors of this show, and she immediately introduced: "Boss Yan of Wanrui Antique Shop bid 1.9 million. ”
Hearing this introduction, Su Chen looked at the rich middle-aged man, and secretly said that this person was Yan Xingru from Wanrui Antique Shop.
"Xiao Su, are you not interested in this painting?" Sun Bufan on the side said with a smile at this time.
Su Chen smiled.
Interest, he naturally has, but the capital chain has been a little tight recently, and he is powerless.
But this also reminded him, he stood up and walked to the backstage, took out his mobile phone and made a call to Ning Juncheng.
He remembered that this person loved calligraphy and painting antiques for ten minutes.
