Pu Jie got up, took out a calligraphy and painting box from the box under the counter, then took out the painting, unfolded it, and held it up for Yu Yao to see.

Yu Yao got up and took a closer look.

In Yu Yao's view, Wu Changshuo was a step above the other three and was also well-known. Ren Bonian's fame is mainly in the circle, and he belongs to a painter who is not widely known but has a high level.

Ren Bonian still prefers to draw Zhong Kui, and it is not uncommon to see Zhong Kui's pictures handed down. This is a boon for high copycats.

"This is indeed not Ren Bonian's handiwork. Yu Yao frowned as he spoke, "However, it shouldn't be imitated by the current graduate students of the Academy of Fine Arts!" "Huh?" Pu Jie listened, "What do you mean?"

"It's not like a new imitation. Yu Yao continued, "Maybe we are a little preconceived, this may not be a game. Moreover, I thought about it just now, if it is a game, it is unlikely that the person with the burden does not participate, but you check it again, he really didn't play the routine. ”

"It's not a new imitation, it's an old imitation?"

"Well, it seems to be the handwriting of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and even contemporaries of Ren Bonian. ”

Pu Jie thought for a while, "In other words, that old man doesn't know if it's true or not?"

"Possibly. ”

"Even if it's an old imitation from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, it's not worth much!" Pu Jie sighed again.

Yu Yao took two steps back with interest, "How can the boss of that hot pot city conclude that it is imitated by a graduate student of the Academy of Fine Arts? ”

"Huh?" Pu Jie looked surprised, "You mean, he is on par with Ren Bonian?"

Yu Yao waved his fingers lightly, "This person has painted the charm of Ren Bonian's Zhong Kui, but the subtle brushwork is different, and some of the brushwork is very clever, this person is even higher than Ren Bonian's painting level." ”

When Pu Jie heard this, he hurriedly put the painting on the counter as soon as he put it away, "You mean, not only is this special not a loss, but also a profit?"

"I don't know who imitated it, I can't talk about making money or not. Yu Yao introduced, "Ren Bonian's works, when he was alive, were widely circulated. ”

Indeed, Ren Bonian had been selling paintings in Shanghai for a long time to make a living, not only when he was alive, but even after his death, there were many painting shops and stalls in the Republic of China period, but after the fifties of the last century, there were many less, and the state and museums collected a considerable part of them. In the 80s, many private collections flowed out of the mainland, and more of them flowed to Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island.

"You just said that there is an element of banter, will the high-level imitators know Ren Bonian? Can you tell who imitated it?" Pu Jie asked like a cannon.

Yu Yao smiled bitterly, "How can I be so godly? I can see that the details are not Ren Bonian, but who imitated it, how can I see it? The key is that he imitates Ren Bonian, and it is not an independent painting of his own style." ”

While the two were talking, Lao Huang came, said hello and saw the painting on the counter, and asked with some embarrassment on his face, "Boss Yu also saw it······, right?

Pu Jie hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Lao Huang, the fish head saw it, and said that it was an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and it may even be the same period!"

"Oh, I'll take a look?" Lao Huang was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to pick up the painting and look at it carefully.

"Let's just say that it is the old Ayazi and the old paper and ink!" Lao Huang said while looking at it, "I can see that it is not Ren Bonian in the details, but if I want to say that the period is imitated, I really can't see it, after all, modern imitations can also use old materials." ”

Yu Yao said, "I just have a feeling, and I can't do it too accurately." ”

"Don't be modest, I'll believe what you say. Lao Huang put down the painting, "I came today, I originally wanted to talk about the so-called high imitation team of the Academy of Fine Arts, but I asked someone to check it." At that time, I didn't give Pu Jie a good palm, and did some supplementary work afterwards. But Boss Yu said that it was an imitation, so it had nothing to do with others. ”

"Sit down!" Pu Jie beckoned, "If you check it, let's talk about it!"

The three of them sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals and lit a cigarette each.

"This small team, in fact, there are not many people, three men and one woman, and there are not so many people. Lao Huang introduced, "One of them is still in love. ”

"I said, if there were a lot of people, it wouldn't be so secretive. ”

"They generally imitate according to their own interests, and the sales go through the online platform. I didn't find their imitation of Zhong Kui, and I don't know if it has been imitated. However, I also looked at a figure painting, and the level was indeed not low. ”

"What kind of person?" Pu Jie dusted off his cigarette ashes.

"Taoist priest. Imitation Fu bouldering. "Old Zodiac," it is said that this girl is in charge of the character part. ”

"Each has its own way of money, since Zhong Kui of this Bonian is not imitated by them, there is no need for us to inquire more. Pu Jie said, looking at Yu Yao.

Yu Yao was noncommittal, just took a puff of cigarette.

"However, when I checked them, I got a message. Lao Huang changed his words, "I heard that they have recently taken over a big job." ”

"How old?" Yu Yao began.

"I don't know the specifics, it is said that I went to the outskirts of the city to rent a house and specialize in this work, and I have been there for at least half a month. Lao Huang said, "By the way, the customer seems to be from Taiwan Island." ”

"Taidao, it can't be from the Tan family, right?" Pu Jie couldn't help blurting out. Yu Yao had told him about the Gao Fang Group before, in addition to Xie Zhihao, Uncle Ghost, and the Zhonggu Shenhua of the Wa Kingdom, the Tan family was also involved.

"It's unlikely to be the Tan family, right?" Lao Huang didn't know about the Gao Fang Group, but he was in the calligraphy and painting business, and he still heard of the Tan family, which was known for its high imitation calligraphy and painting on Taiwan Island, "The Tan family makes high-end goods, how can they find a few graduate students from the Academy of Fine Arts to work? And there are so many art academies across the country, but they still find the Dongjiang Academy of Fine Arts?"

"Didn't you say that the level of their works is indeed not low?" Yu Yao looked at Lao Huang, "Sometimes the two sides of the cooperation may not be connected by chance. ”

"When you say that, it doesn't seem impossible!" Lao Huang smiled.

"And maybe their small team is just part of the big job. Yu Yao said again.

"Whew! These days, Gao Imitation can't be broken. If this is the case, the Tan family is really pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, and they can play any way. Lao Huang extinguished the cigarette, "There are too many demons and monsters on the market now, and I have something I can't get when I turn around, you have to help with the palm of your eyes." ”

Yu Yao nodded, but said in his heart, Uncle Ghost has been targeted by the Special Investigation Bureau, if this Tan family plays like this, it means that this small team of three men and one woman is really okay in this regard.
