Chapter 12: Questioning

This product is really greedy, and I want to gild myself before I paint it.

As soon as he returned to his office, he began to organize a press conference, then found a few craftsmen, framed the painting, and placed it in the gallery's lobby.

I told the old man about Zhao Shirong's press conference, and the old man applauded, saying that Zhao Shirong was digging his own grave.

We don't have to do anything, we just wait for him to kill himself.

Zhao Shirong's movement was very big, and many media reported on it, and many painters and bigwigs in the painting world came here just to see the dignity of these two paintings.

After a few days of hype, Zhao Shirong is out of the limelight, more popular than Internet celebrities.

Finally, on the day of the press conference, the old man and I found a gap to get in, today is the time when Zhao Shirong is ruined, if I am not there, then this time of hard work will not be in vain.

At half past six in the afternoon, many reporters and celebrities sat down, and then it was Zhao Shirong's pretending to be 13 and slapping his face.

After a long while, Zhao Shirong slowly walked out of the backstage, dressed as a literati in a suit and leather shoes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have been waiting for a long time, and today I will let you witness a glorious moment. ”

Zhao Shirong clapped his hands as he spoke, and the two hostesses pushed the painting cart and stepped forward to get the painting.

Zhao Shirong began to introduce the origin of these two paintings:

"This picture of spring trees and autumn frost was discovered by me during a chance folk travel..."

He said a lot, mainly because he wanted to highlight his discernment and ability to explore art, and he was able to find such a good painting because of his own credit.

I've seen shamelessness, it's the first time I've seen such a shameless person, Zhao Shirong is making up stories, and the people below are still listening to it with relish.

Finally, his story was made up, and the next step was the reporter's question session, which seemed useless, but it was actually the key point of the slap in the face, because Zhao Shirong would pretend to be very powerful in front of the reporter, and the more fierce he pretended, the more painful it would be.

"May I ask Mr. Zhao, what do you think is the significance of these two paintings being discovered?"

Zhao Shirong picked up the microphone and pretended to say: "Foreigners say that we don't have Fauvist painters, and we don't have Fauvist paintings, and the discovery of these two paintings is a slap in the face of foreigners, letting them know that Chinese art will not be broken." ”

Zhao Shirong said that he was full of enthusiasm, tears swirling in his eyes, which can be described as a generous statement, and the audience broke out in applause.

I couldn't help it, and asked loudly: "Mr. Zhao, do you find any benefit to you in these two paintings?"

I'm a hairy boy, even if he says such disrespectful things, even on such occasions, he won't do anything to me.

"Ahem... Little brother, do you know that the value of a painting critic is not what he gets, but what he has created for society and discovered for the art world. ”

There was another round of applause from the audience.

Finally, there is the viewing, which is the last link, many people who come to see the painting, everyone looks left and right around the painting, and keeps taking pictures.

"Wait... There is something wrong with this painting. ”

I don't know which big guy found the problem, and all of a sudden the people present were boiling.

"Yes, I've long since figured out something was wrong with this painting. ”

"I'm afraid it's not fake. ”

For a while, doubts came and went, and Zhao Shirong heard that so many people were suspicious of him, and his face turned green, as if he had been green.

Zhao Shirong walked into the crowd and said loudly: "This is a Fauvist painting, different from traditional paintings in China, please don't speculate that the price of these two paintings has reached 60 million yuan." ”

Although his words calmed the scene, literati have a problem, that is, they like to raise the bar, such as an empty forum.

"Nonsense, the decay has been in the painting world for decades, can't you tell the truth from the fake, this is clearly a fake painting, there are Fauvist paintings, but there is no god of Fauvist paintings. ”

The old man told me that the person who spoke was the vice chairman of the Painting Federation, who was originally recuperating abroad, but this time he heard that Zhao Shirong's initiative had come from abroad in a hurry, and this person was very real, as long as he decided that the painting was fake, Zhao Shirong had ten mouths that were difficult to explain.

Zhao Shirong still wanted to explain something, but the old man hurriedly said: "First of all, in terms of the style of the paintings, although there is basically no difference between the two paintings, there are still differences in terms of details, especially at the outline line, the spring tree and autumn frost picture has some ink painting flavor, and the winter plum snow painting has some oil painting meaning. ”

"yes, yes, I found out too..."

Those people who eat melons stand in line one after another, after all, in front of the old man, Zhao Shirong is just a rookie.

In addition, the paper of the two paintings is not from the same era, and even very far apart, and finally, you can look at the seal and the inscription, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not a person's signature. ”

The old man's sharp comments made Zhao Shirong unable to get off the stage, those who seized the big news and did interviews on the spot, the old man really dared to say that Zhao Shirong deceived the world and stole his name, and wanted to find two fakes to win a place for himself in the art world.

"Don't report it indiscriminately, I will prove the truth of these two words. ”

Zhao Shirong raised his voice and tried to control the situation, but where could he control it, everyone was like exploding a pot, and I said it as soon as you said it.

"Proof, whatever proof you take, I am the best proof. ”

The old man was mad by Zhao Shirong's behavior, as a bigwig in the painting world, he would never allow this kind of thing to happen in his face, if he didn't stop it now, how would he go out in the future?

Zhao Shirong saw that the scene was a little uncontrollable, so he asked people to put away the paintings, and sent someone to clear the scene, and the old man and I were also kicked out.

The old man touched his chin and said, "Next, Zhao Shirong is going to start his journey of self-certification." ”

Indeed, Zhao Shirong was scolded by someone, and he must be depressed to death, but at this moment, he will definitely not doubt the authenticity of the painting, he is more concerned about what can prove that the painting is real, he will definitely go to Mr. Park, a wealthy Korean businessman.

Mr. Park is willing to spend a lot of money to buy these two paintings, then these two paintings must be valuable, as long as Mr. Park can come forward to confirm that these two paintings are real, not only can he justify his name, but also can slap the old man in the painting world in the face.

As we expected, Zhao Shirong really called Mr. Park, who is my senior brother.

The elder brother's sense of smell is more sensitive than mine, and he immediately knew what to do, and he also made an appointment with Zhao Shirong to hold a press conference to clarify the original situation.

In fact, this is all a routine, Mr. Park wants to slap Zhao Shirong in the face again at the press conference, so that his reputation will stink even more and leave a stench for 10,000 years.

"Mr. Park, the situation is urgent, if you can help with this, I can sell this painting for only 40 million. ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, you can arrange it, I will come over tomorrow. ”

The elder brother hung up the phone and smiled at us......
