Chapter 253: The water is getting deeper and deeper, and people are getting more and more unable to see through it

After Song Celadon voluntarily withdrew from the battle, Li Yan never met an opponent again, and after the auctioneer repeated the bidding three times on the stage, he dropped the hammer and announced that Li Yan had auctioned this painting of Master Li Keran's "Ten Thousand Mountains Red" at a price of 138 million Hong Kong dollars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although this price is higher than Li Yan imagined, compared with its value of more than 300 million soft sister coins on the earth, it can really be regarded as the price of cabbage.

At this time, Zhou Zhenghuang, Wen Jiayi and the surrounding guests all looked at Li Yan with puzzled expressions, and then looked at Song Celadon.

Just now, there was a sudden hand-to-hand encounter, and the fight was so fierce. But now the two sides have suddenly withdrawn their troops, and they have the meaning of showing favor to each other, what is going on?

The Song Keliang and Song families represented by Song celadon have assets of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and their strength is incomparable, with only more than 100 million, which is just a drop in the bucket for them. If Song Keliang really wanted to buy this painting, the price would never discourage him.

But Song Celadon entered the battle halfway like lightning, and after raising the card and calling the price once, he withdrew from the battle like lightning, which is really incomprehensible!

But one thing is for sure, this young man who has spent 150 million Hong Kong dollars and grabbed two famous masterpieces in a row is definitely rich and prepared.

After Song Celadon sat down, Linda on the side was very strange. "Celadon , didn't Shibo confess that he wanted to take this painting back? Now that the price has not reached the upper limit of the psychological price, why did you suddenly give up? ”

A smile spread at the corner of Song Celadon's mouth. "It's Li Yan who is bidding with me, so I won't fight with him."

"Li Yan? Who? Linda's face was full of confusion. She once had dinner with Song Celadon and Li Yan, but after all, she only had a one-sided relationship with Li Yan, so she didn't react at once.

Song Qingci explained two sentences to her, and Linda suddenly remembered.

"Oh, it turned out to be that young man from the mainland...... Isn't he still a college student, though? And the two paintings just now are a full 500 million, why is he suddenly so rich? Linda still finds it hard to believe.

Song Celadon smiled indifferently: "He is different from others. There are some strange things on my body, even I can't understand them, and it's hard to explain them clearly. ”

Linda shrugged and put the doubt aside for a moment.

At this time, another painting appeared on the big screen of the auction hall, and as soon as this painting came out, the audience immediately became a sensation.

"Here, tonight's finale is here!"

"Master Xu Beihong's handwriting is really curious!"

"As the highlight of tonight, this painting will definitely attract powerful buyers from all sides, right? Especially the giants sitting in the front row, there is nothing to gain tonight. I am afraid that this masterpiece will cause fierce competition among many rich people and collectors, and a big war is inevitable. ”

"Don't forget, there's a mysterious offspring sitting in the back, and this is also a little crocodile."

In addition to the boiling of the audience, the host also began to introduce the painting: "The painting auctioned below is the work of Xu Beihong, an outstanding Chinese realist painting master and art educator - "*** Human Body Ms. Jiang". This work is provided by an overseas collector and is an important representative of Xu Beihong's oil painting body sketches. ”

"Although this work is a pure oil painting, it is highly concentrated oriental aesthetic taste, the figures are mostly processed on the bright surface of the highlights, the accurate shaping of the volume of people and objects and the line and surface processing methods of traditional Chinese painting, are skillfully integrated by the painter, the muscle structure combined with the change of light and shadow produces an irresistible sense of beauty, the depicted human body posture is beautiful and relaxed, the author's brushstrokes are calm and coordinated, with extremely high skills, with great enthusiasm to create the ultimate work."

"In recent years, Xu Beihong's oil paintings have been rising in price due to the small number and fine works, and this "Ms. Jiang" will surely create a new monument. Entrusted by the collector, the auction house undertakes the auction task, with a starting price of 50 million Hong Kong dollars! ”

After the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the buyers who bid below kept raising their signs, and the price exceeded 100 million in just a few minutes.

In this process, Li Yan reversed his activity just now, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he was not interested in this painting. Zhou Zhenghuang is even more strange, Xu Beihong's fame is greater than that of Huang Zhou and Li Keran, and this painting is still a very rare Xu Beihong oil painting, the investment value and collection value are there, Li Yan, who has been aggressive just now, why didn't he make a move at this time?

Faced with Zhou Zhenghuang's question, Li Yan explained lightly. "There's no particular reason, I just don't like it."

Zhou Zhenghuang felt that he couldn't see through Li Yan more and more. He always felt that this was not Li Yan's true thoughts, but the other party was unwilling to say it directly, so he had to shut up stupidly.

The reason why Li Yan did not bid for this painting is simple.

About 5 or 6 years ago, the auction house in the parallel world also auctioned the same painting, and with the market price of 5 or 6 years ago, this painting was also auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 100 million soft girl coins. Now, after so many years, with the current price of the art investment market, with the current prosperity of the art investment market, this painting is very likely to fetch a high price of more than 300 million.

However, all this can only be hypothetical. Because this painting is not Xu Beihong's authentic work, but just a forgery. Even in the words of the famous contemporary painter Chen Danqing, this painting "is not even a fake".

This is a very harsh accusation.

Chen Danqing's original words back then were: "The so-called forgery is a painting like Xu Beihong painted very carefully, and then pretended to be Xu Beihong, which is a little better, this is still a serious deception." And this one is completely an irrelevant painting and said that it was painted by Xu Beihong, referring to the deer as a horse. ”

Not long after the painting from the parallel world went up for auction, it sparked large-scale skepticism. The first to stand up were several professors from the Lingnan Academy of Fine Arts. They contacted more than a dozen famous painters at home and abroad, and issued a joint open letter to the media and the auction at the same time.

The open letter pointed out that the painting "Ms. Jiang", which is alleged to be Xu Beihong's authentic work, is actually a human body sketch by more than 10 students of the China Academy of Art 20 years ago.

The professor of the Lingnan Academy of Fine Arts who initiated the joint open letter was one of the more than 10 students that year, and the rest of the painters who signed the open letter were also his classmates.

Along with the open letter, there are also paintings from their contemporaneous period. These paintings are all the same models as this "*** Human Ms. Jiang", but the techniques and angles are slightly different.

As soon as the open letter was released, it caused an uproar and had an extremely violent impact on the entire auction industry and the literary and artistic circles.

In the surging tide of public opinion, the buyer who auctioned the fake painting at a sky-high price of more than 100 million did not pay in the end. Under pressure, the auction house and the seller who entrusted the auction also announced that the painting would be withdrawn and the auction would be suspended.

However, even so, the auction house only made a symbolic apology, and the counterfeiter who entrusted the auction was not held accountable in the end.

The depth of the shady curtain behind the auction of calligraphy and painting can be seen from this.
