Chapter 315: Almost Fooled Around

For the appraiser Zhou Kai's performance, Zhao Ming sincerely admired, if it wasn't for Mr. Zhou Kai's own counterattack, with Zhao Ming's personality, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and directly tore apart with Song Rui, but these are just Zhao Ming's inner imagination, maybe with Zhao Ming's always cautious character, he will naturally wait and see what happens, after all, it is now at the auction, and there are so many people in the audience.

Song Rui originally wanted to see Zhao Ming make a fool of himself, but he already knew Zhao Ming's strength before, and now he had bad thoughts about Zhou Kai, but Zhou Kai didn't take his questioning seriously at all, which made Song Rui's heart more and more unbalanced, and seeing everyone's expectation, Song Rui sat back in his position in a gloomy manner.

"Since Mr. Song is unwilling to identify this antique for everyone, then continue to have me identify the Western Han Dynasty horn-shaped jade cup in front of you, this antique is carved from a whole piece of green and white jade, the cup belly is hollow to hold wine, the mouth of the cup is oval, from the mouth of the cup to the end of the cup gradually closes, in the end of the cup curl to form a flying wave of waves, looks quite like a rhinoceros horn. ”

After the appraiser Zhou Kai finished saying this, he continued: "The decorative patterns around the body of this horn-shaped jade cup of the Western Han Dynasty are carved with yin lines, bas-relief, high relief and round carving, and the cup is decorated with the shape of a sleeping dragon, reflecting the characteristics of multi-ethnic cultural integration......

In addition, the horn-shaped jade cup of the Western Han Dynasty has another distinctive feature, that is, it does not have a base, cannot stand upright, and once the wine is poured, it can only be handed out from one person's hand and then drunk in one go, which also reflects the drinking customs of the South Vietnamese period and the hobby of the owner of the utensil. ”

As soon as Zhou Kai finished saying this, the audience burst into warm applause, although it was a bit general and too chewy, but what he said was not unreasonable, and it sounded simple and easy to understand, which can be said to be very applicable to the identification itself.

As an appraiser, Zhao Ming also knows that the horn-shaped jade cup of the Western Han Dynasty has a unique shape, but in today's rapid development of science and technology, it is not impossible to create the same fake.

Zhao Ming looked at the Western Han angular jade cup on the stage in front of him, and then carefully observed the pictures on the big screen, it is not difficult to find that there is a sense of transparency under the light, because the jade material used in this jade cup is blue and white, and the shape of the cup body is an oval cone, slightly curved, which just forms a balance in the shape volume with the oblique cup mouth.

And the bottom of the cup is round, and there is a spiral pattern, the lower part of the cup body is carved out of a small cloud, it seems to use the Song threading belt, the shape is also made into a silk bundle, and around the cup body a circle, it seems natural and proper, the bas-relief pattern around the surface of the cup body is a pointed mouth round eyes, the body is slender, and the one-horned Wolong standing with wings flutters, lined with cloud patterns and shallow carvings and vortex patterns.

As for the lines of the pattern are tall and beautiful, although there are interspersed and overlapping lines, but because the layout is symmetrical and reasonable, it appears more layered, although it has gone through more than 2,000 years, it still radiates a mild and tranquil luster, it can be seen that there are superb skilled carving craftsmen in Nanyue, which fully shows the level of jade craftsmanship in the Han Dynasty, and is a jade carving treasure of the Western Han Dynasty with a strange idea.

At this time, the middle-aged lady who photographed this antique slowly came to the stage, and carefully held this treasure in her hand, during this time Zhao Ming rarely used his perspective eyes, and now when he saw this jade, he naturally couldn't let it go, when everyone applauded, Zhao Ming opened his eyes and quickly absorbed the spiritual power in the stone tool, and instantly he felt that his eyes were indescribably comfortable and cool.

The auction is still going on, and under the introduction of the host, the fourth antique soon appeared, this antique is the famous calligraphy and painting antique "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute Picture".

Speaking of the author of this painting, everyone must be familiar with it, he is Tang Bohu, a painter, poet and calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty.

The people present were full of curiosity about this painting, and naturally they all wanted to bid for this painting, although many people did not know whether the painting was genuine or fake, but they also wanted to participate in the auction with a fluke mentality.

Sun Jing has seen a lot of antique objects in Babao Zhai since he was a child, and he likes it really, but he didn't think about participating in the auction, but Lan Zhengxu, who has been busy with his studies and has not collected wantonly, and only slowly began to develop his interest after work, and now he has participated in a lot of auctions, and he has become more and more fond of collecting.

Looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the stage, Lan Zhengxu said lightly: "This is Tang Bohu's painting, even if it is a fake, I must collect it......" Lan Zhengxu's words were extremely quiet, as if he was saying it to himself, and as if he was saying it to Melissa.

"Why should you collect it if it's a fake?

"It's just a habit to like collecting, if you are lucky enough to collect the real thing, it is naturally a good thing, but if you like it, and you can't ask for the real thing, then it is better to collect a fake, which is also a kind of psychological comfort, isn't it?" Lan Zhengxu said lightly.

Melissa didn't respond, but after thinking about it, she felt that Lan Zhengxu's remarks were also quite reasonable, although they were somewhat naΓ―ve, but they were not bad.

Seeing the uproar at the scene, Melissa was a little worried, and then the host smiled and said: "The starting price of this calligraphy and painting on the stage is 30,000 yuan, I hope that friends who like calligraphy and painting collections will not miss this great opportunity and actively participate in this auction!"

After a while, Lan Zhengxu raised the price tag and said indifferently: "Thirty-five thousand!" As a person who likes this calligraphy and painting, it is reasonable for Lan Zhengxu to take the lead in bidding, but the next scene is unexpected.

"Fifty thousand!" Shen Tianming said with a smile, and after saying this, he didn't forget to look in the direction of Melissa and Lan Zhengxu, which made Melissa blush instantly, and she kept her head down, dodging Shen Tianming's hot and angry gaze.

Melissa knew that Shen Tianming must have done this because of her, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately gotten along with Lan Zhengxu, but she didn't expect that Quan Shangwu, who had never raised a price tag, would also start to join in the fun.

"Sixty thousand!" Quan Shangwu said with a smile, it seems that he regarded such a bid as a farce, Quan Shangwu knew that Melissa liked Lan Zhengxu, and Shen Tianming had been pestering Melissa for a long time, it seemed that there would inevitably be a good show next, the only thing that could not be predicted was whether there would be other people besides the three of them to join this fierce auction.

Sure enough, after several rounds of bidding, Li Bin, Lin Hao, Guo Shao, and Wang Zhiwei from the magic capital all joined the auction, and it seems that in the end, who was lucky enough to photograph this Tang Yin's "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute" is obviously unknown.

Zhao Ming knew that the mere millions of people here probably didn't pay attention to everyone, let alone these tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, thinking of these Zhao Ming looked in the direction where Sun Jing was sitting.

After several rounds of intense and fierce bidding, Lan Zhengxu of Lanyu Media finally got the "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute Picture" on the stage for 280,000 yuan.

Next, it is natural to invite the antique appraisers who participated in the auction to come to the stage to authenticate the authenticity, and the host is impartial and directly calls Mr. Song Rui, who has been quite well-known in China recently.

At the beginning, Song Rui was invited to the stage for identification, which was an opening warm-up, followed by Zhao Ming, and then Zhou Kai.

This time, after Song Rui still came to the stage, he bowed to everyone attentively, and then pretended to walk to the picture in the center and carefully identified it.

After about ten minutes of identification, Song Rui faced everyone, and then said with a smile: "This calligraphy and painting of Tang Yin on the stage "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute" is a genuine product. ”

Obviously, this sentence has no weight for the people who participated in this auction, and everyone naturally won't buy it, everyone seems to be full of expectations, waiting for Song Rui to be witty and tell the methods and experiences of identification.

"This "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute Picture" is a silk color painting created by Tang Yin, a painter in the Ming Dynasty of China, the picture is painted four singing and dancing palace maids are making up for the king to call and serve, everyone looks carefully and it must not be difficult to find the makeup of the maids on this painting...... " Song Rui said with a smile, his eyes flickered a little, as if he was thinking about what to say next.

After a short pause, Song Rui smiled again, and he continued: "The maid in this painting has pink faces, peach cheeks, willow eyes and cherry lips, a pointed chin, and uses * to smudge the forehead, nose, and cheeks to make its image more charming and lovely. ”

At this time, the host found that everyone in the audience had an unfinished expression, so he smiled and said: "These appraisal rhetoric is like listening to textbooks, Mr. Song is young and promising, and he is a new well-known appraiser in China, so he must also have something extraordinary, so it is better to ask Mr. Song to also explain the method of appraisal to everyone here, so that everyone can take less detours in the collection on weekdays." ”

When Song Rui heard the host say this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still had a smile on his face, so as to hide the panic in his heart.

Zhao Ming sat in the position of the appraiser, so close to the stage, he could clearly feel that Song Rui was even more unnatural, which made Zhao Ming unspeakably suspicious, he didn't expect that in the past nearly a year, Song Rui, as a senior appraiser in China, turned out to be in vain, such a person can get mixed up in the antique appraisal world, which really makes him unbelievable.

This painting depicts the harem story of Wang Yan, the queen of Shu five generations ago, in the picture, four palace maids are dressed up to wait for the king to call and serve, they wear a golden lotus crown, dressed in a Taoist robe decorated with clouds, and their faces are rouge, and their appearance is rich and beautiful, and their posture is dignified and charming. ”

After saying this, Song Rui stood on the stage and smiled all the time, and then there was no follow-up, such a statement to Zhao Ming is indeed a bit like a textbook, if you want to make the people at this auction happy and convinced, then you have to say the basis for the appraisal, otherwise it won't make people feel a little panicked, too perfunctory.

At this time, Zhao Ming got up and said indifferently: "Just now Mr. Song Rui has told you the content and creative background of this calligraphy and painting, and if you don't dislike it, I will reveal the secret of identifying this calligraphy and painting for you!"

As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause rang out at the scene, and even Zhou Kai applauded Zhao Ming vigorously, it seems that he really appreciates this cautious, not arrogant and impatient young man in front of him.

Song Rui walked down from the stage in applause, and Zhao Ming came to the stage in applause, when passing Zhao Ming, the expression on Song Rui's face was a little complicated, his eyes were not grateful to Zhao Ming, but a look of contempt and disdain, but such an expression was only seen by the two of them, for these, Zhao Ming disagreed, in Zhao Ming's opinion, he just did what he should do, and it was by no means wanton.

As soon as Zhao Ming came to the stage, he said lightly: "Tang Yin's "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute Picture" is very bright in coloring, the author uses extremely fine techniques, the lines flow vigorously, such as spring silkworms spinning silk, the sense of color is very strong, if it is a fake, it will not be able to do these, and the characters in the painting, the colors are heavy, there are also light, there are gray-green of the big person, and there are also colorful and gorgeous dresses, which can be said to be extremely rich in changes. ”

The so-called "three white" coloring method is to use * to dye the forehead, nose, and cheeks, so that the palace prostitutes' weak and uncontrollable mood is more obvious. In the picture, one is carrying two palace prostitutes, the person with the back near is wearing a pale yellow gown, and the opposite is wearing a darker color cyan coat, which forms a strong contrast in color, and the artistic effect is extremely vivid, whether it is response or symmetry, the changes are very ingenious and natural...... "When Zhao Ming said this, he did not forget to look at Sun Jing and Zhang Hai.
