In the second stage, Zhang Daqian pursued the style of the Tang Dynasty, which was vividly expressed in this picture of a red-haired woman.

Not only are the characters Tang Dynasty characters, but even the brushwork is also the brushwork of the Tang Dynasty. This is a fine brush painting, compared with the splashed ink paintings after Daqian, it is natural to pay more attention to the smoothness of the lines and the rendering of the details of the characters.

"Regardless of whether the painting is genuine or an imitation, we should be aware that there is an original before a copy can appear. So it's certain that Daqian must have painted such a picture, not some fabrication. ”

After seeing Fang Mingsheng nodded, Wang Guancai carefully commented: "Then we can see now that Daqian made extensive use of the mellow and vigorous iron line drawings of the Tang Dynasty in the Red Whisk Girl, and then changed the thickness and color of the lines for different objects in order to convey different textures. ”

"All the outlines in the painting have been sketched at least twice, for example, the skin of the figure is first drawn with ink and then with red lines, and the patterns of clothes and cloats are first drawn with ink lines and then with lacquer. This delicate line drawing method does not emphasize the fast and unrestrained technique, but makes various objects more three-dimensional and convex, and also makes the picture more ancient. ”

I need to thank Old Zhou, if it weren't for his old man's careful guidance, Wang Guan would not be able to say the truth now.

"The face is shaped like a goose egg, and the contours are tight and rounded. The complexion is pink and even, the eyebrows are slender and curved, and the cherry-like small mouth is clearly the beauty of the hibiscus like a willow like an eyebrow in the Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi's hateful song. Of course, it is a typical representative of Tang painting, a very rich beauty, indicating that the society was very rich at that time, so there was such an atmosphere. ”

At this time. Wang Guan continued: "However, because it is a chivalrous woman, it is naturally impossible to be as graceful and luxurious as the noble lady in the pen of the Tang Dynasty painter, full of emptiness, loneliness and cold lazy temperament, but it looks heroic and vigorous. ”

"Speaking of which, this is also a big breakthrough. After all, since the Qing Dynasty, most of the ladies in the painter's pen are sick Lin Daiyu-type beauties. After arriving in the Republic of China, people of insight felt that this was not good. Want to make a difference. Therefore, Daqian boldly broke through the limitations and successfully created the image of the Red Whisk Girl. ”

While speaking, Wang Guan also sighed a little: "Why do people become famous painters, the reason is nothing more than innovation and change." From antique masters, to self-contained, and finally to create a genre, this is a giant in the painting world. ”

"Wang Guan, Daqian is very powerful, I know this without you saying it."

However. Fang Mingsheng was a little impatient, and said bluntly: "What I want to know now is, is this painting the real work of Daqian, or is it an imitation made by Tan Jing and Tang An?" ”

"Vulgar." Wang Guan said casually. Naturally, he was talking about Fang Mingsheng.

Hearing this, the rice shopkeeper next to him was suddenly frightened, and his liver was pounding. He understands Fang Mingsheng's terribleness, and he is usually careful to please. I'm afraid that something will offend. However, I never thought that Wang Guan dared to be so "disrespectful", isn't he afraid of bad luck?

In fact, as the shopkeeper expected. He cautiously looked up, only to see Fang Mingsheng frowning, obviously angry. However, the situation was beyond his expectations, Fang Mingsheng actually endured it, and asked rhetorically, "Why am I vulgar?" ”

"I don't care if the painting is good or not, I just care if it's genuine, not vulgar or not?"

At this time, Wang Guan said confidently: "Even if the thing is an imitation, as long as the imitation level is very high, it has been decades anyway, and it has a certain collection value, and you will not lose money if you buy it back directly." What's the point of collecting something if it's genuine, but it's mediocre and perfunctory? ”

"So in the eyes of a true collector, the author's fame, and the authenticity of the thing, that is just a reference, the most important thing is the quality of the work itself."

While speaking, Wang Guan said disdainfully: "You ask yourself, what do you want to buy this thing?" ”

"Uh......"

For a moment, Fang Mingsheng was speechless. I can't just say that the picture is Zhang Daqian's painting, and the price is expensive, so take it out to save face.

"What's the origin of this kid, he scolded him with his head and face, but he didn't make Fang Mingsheng angry?"

The rice shopkeeper muttered in his heart, very confused. However, sensing Fang Mingsheng's embarrassment, he immediately stood up to relieve the siege, and said with a smile: "This distinguished guest's words really speak to my heart, this painting is really good, but what is good in the end, I don't know very well, I don't know if the distinguished guest can continue to give some pointers?" ”

"I don't need to say much about the appearance of the characters, their expressions and postures, the composition of the picture, the color arrangement, etc., but I think the best thing is the figure of the red whisk girl."

Wang Guan is as good as a stream, and sincerely praises: "If you look closely, you can find that the body shape of the red whisk girl is very symmetrical, and the inclined upper body and curved long skirt are connected into a slender arc, which not only breaks through the rigidity of symmetrical composition, but also highlights the graceful posture of women." ”

"As far as I know, Mr. Daqian is a fan of Peking Opera, and it is estimated that he was inspired by Peking Opera, which is why he conceived the figure of the Red Whisk Girl, which is similar to the appearance of Peking Opera Hua Dan on the stage. Beautiful, so beautiful. ”

After admiring, Wang Guan turned around and said: "Boss Fang, if I were you, I wouldn't care if there were any doubts about things, start first, buy it back and then study it slowly." lest someone stop you, and then you will regret it. ”

“…… There seems to be some truth in this. ”

At the right time, Fang Mingsheng groaned, and then beckoned: "Shopkeeper Mi, let's talk." ”

When the rice shopkeeper heard the sound, he was also quite surprised. After all, it has already been explained that there are doubts about the thing, and Fang Mingsheng still wants to buy it, if it turns out afterwards that the thing is a fake, then he can't blame it.

Of course, it is also for this reason that the price of this painting is certainly not high, or the price cannot be on par with the original work. So after some bargaining, the two reached an agreement, and finally sold for 8.88 million.

This price is not low, but it is not high.

After all, if it can be proved that the thing is genuine, then with Zhang Daqian's fame and the quality of the work, the market price of this thing is at least between fifty and sixty million. But if it's an imitation, then it's worth seven or eight hundred thousand. The gap between one real and one imitation is so big, so it's no wonder that Fang Mingsheng has been struggling with whether to buy it.

However, Fang Mingsheng was also refreshing, since he decided to buy it, he would not drag the mud and water, but paid very neatly, and then picked up the picture under the smiling face of the rice shopkeeper with flowers, and then beckoned Wang Guan to leave.

"Go to Chaozhou Zeng's hometown." After getting into the car, Fang Mingsheng told the driver where he was going, and then immediately asked impatiently: "Wang Guan, is the thing genuine?" ”

Fang Mingsheng didn't forget what he said, he asked Wang Guan to decide whether to buy it for him. Although Wang Guan did not say whether the painting was real or fake, he hinted that he would buy it. Under such circumstances, Fang Mingsheng made a decision on the spot and did not hesitate to do so, which fully explained his ...... Ostentatious.

After all, there is not much trust between him and Wang Guan. If it weren't for the idea of wanting to buy it earlier, it is estimated that it would be impossible to act because of Wang Guan's casual two sentences. Therefore, Wang Guan's hint was just the last straw that broke the camel's back, giving Fang Mingsheng a reason to pay.

Wang Guan also understood this truth, and did not answer Fang Mingsheng's question positively, but just smiled: "If Boss Fang regrets it, I can take over." ”

"Haha, I didn't say I regret it." Fang Mingsheng suddenly felt a little relieved, and said with joy: "Hearing you say this, there should be no doubt that the thing is genuine." ”

"I think it's genuine, not necessarily genuine." Wang Guan said casually, but poured a basin of cold water on Fang Mingsheng.

Fang Mingsheng didn't mind this, he just unfolded the picture with great interest and watched it carefully. After looking at it for a moment, he nodded matter-of-fact and said, "That's right, as long as something is beautiful and beautiful, it doesn't matter if it's a genuine or an imitation......"

When Wang Guan heard this, he couldn't help but sneer secretly. This was said too late, and it became a pure afterthought.

"Don't think I don't understand."

Seeing through Wang Guan's thoughts, Fang Mingsheng said casually: "Zeng Lao told me that although Daqian also sells paintings, the best works are often not made for money. If there is no karma, even if he sends a huge amount of money, Daqian will not write. Even if someone introduces and asks for help, they often hold it for a year and a half, and they refuse to wave it. But if he is a friend, he can ask him to paint at any time, and most of the gifts to his friends are fine works. ”

"Daqian once said that the best thing is friendship, especially friends who know my calligraphy and painting. What is the value of money? If money were precious, I could be a billionaire now. ”

While speaking, Fang Mingsheng also showed a bit of admiration: "For true friends, Zhang Daqian not only responds to requests, but even spends a lot of energy and time to complete many masterpieces beyond the standard to give away. For example, the very famous paintings such as the Four Heavens and the Yangtze River are gifts he painted to his friends. ”

"That's just as well." Wang nodded and said: "Some people say that love and righteousness are the purest beliefs in Zhang Daqian's universe, which is the summary of later generations, but he did the same." ”

"Then I'm not wrong."

At the right time, Fang Mingsheng smiled and said: "This painting was given to a friend by Daqian, so it is naturally a masterpiece." ”

"Perhaps."

Wang Guan replied casually, and then concentrated on looking at the scenery outside the car window.

This made Fang Mingsheng a little uncertain. Is there really something wrong with this painting? If there is a problem, he still asked me to buy it, is it a trick? The relationship between everyone is not good, and it seems normal for him to cheat me? However, he just said that he was willing to spend money to take over, and it didn't look like he was cheating...... At a young age, why are you so treacherous......

In Fang Mingsheng's belly, the car quickly came to Chaozhou, and then slowly came to a high-end community in the center of the city, and finally stopped in front of a villa...... (To be continued......)
