I have to say that Lu Sanye is definitely a master in the book collection industry, not to mention anything else, the three calligraphy and paintings he displayed turned out to be the works of Zhang Yangong, a strange master in Yangzhou's painting world, which made many people stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those who can't see the doorway of these three paintings only think that the painting is too frustrating, and there is a feeling of children scribbling with their hands, and only a master like Dean Zhan can see at a glance that these three paintings are all "masterpieces" of Master Zhang Yangong when he was learning to paint in the early days.

The "masterpiece" mentioned here is not a mockery, the way of painting is like a child learning to walk, from staggering to running, no one is a genius, and he will be blessed with colorful clouds when he is born, King Kong is awesome.

Whether it is Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, Shi Tao, or Zheng Banqiao, when they first started to learn painting, their works were just as naïve and ridiculous, and unremarkable.

It's just that the early works of these masters when they were young are difficult to find in the market, first, after a long time, these seemingly ordinary and plain drawings have long been lost and cannot be found. The second is that these masters themselves are embarrassed to display these sketches, or even destroy them directly. The third is that these drawings are so ordinary that even if they are circulated, no one will pay attention to them, and they are even thrown into the trash as toilet paper.

Because of this, in the eyes of collectors, this kind of master-level early sketch is definitely hard to find, and even more valuable than the works of the masters when they were popular; Without it, scarcity is precious, and through these early drawings, it is also possible to conduct a comprehensive study of the master's early artistic degree.

To put it more bluntly, for example, the great writer Mo Yan, who just won the Nobel Prize in Literature this year, his work "Frog", which won the Nobel Prize in Literature at his peak, or the essay for primary school students he wrote when he was in school, which is more attractive to those collectors?

The answer is absolutely amazing, just recently at the "Hanhai Auction", Mo Yan's elementary school was a thin "composition book", and the cover of the essay read: Gaomi County, Shandong Province, the second class and four groups of the fifth grade, Guan Moye (Mo Yan) --- essay content includes "Fish Market", "Tunnel", "Good Doctor", "Flying Birds", "Drought Resistance", etc., and it was auctioned at a sky-high price of 1.19 million in one fell swoop, even exceeding the price of his Nobel award-winning work "Frog" of 870,000 yuan.

Master Mo Yan was also very reluctant to know about such an auction result, but he still accepted the interview with the media very sincerely, and told the media the specific origin of this sky-high "composition book".

He said---

I remember when the teacher started to pay attention to me, it was in the third grade, composition class. Writing about "May Day" Labor Day, many students keep a running account, how to get up in the morning of "May Day", how to go to school, how to go to class, and how to go home. At that time, there was a state farm near my house, and there happened to be a sports day going on there, so I wrote about it. Others write articles about the "May Day" Games, one moment to write about the table tennis court, one time to write about the track and field field, all aspects, I am the previous one, and then focus on describing how the two basketball teams play, in the basketball team, and focus on describing the two masters, write about their movements, write about their expressions, write about the sweat beads on their foreheads and the shadow reflected on the ground when running, how to overlap with the shadow of the swallow.

One day, after school, the teacher asked me to stay. I'm scared to the bottom of my nose. Because according to past experience, if the teacher lets him stay after school, he will be punished. The teacher took me to the office, slapped my composition book on the table, and asked me, "Where did you copy this essay?" I said I didn't copy it, I wrote it myself. The teacher said you can write such an essay? I'll give you another topic, and you can write an essay for me to see. It's "Drought Fighting". I'm going to bring pen and paper, sit across from him, and write on the spot. With "cannon", clouds and mountains and fog covers, one moment writes that the young man pushes ice cubes into the ground, and the other time writes that the old man digs deep wells, piling up a lot of adjectives, what "arms are supported, the wheels are flying, a shout, and the ice is rolling". The teacher saw it, nodded and said, "People can't look good, and the sea can't fight", just like you, an angry painter, you can still write a good article. You've really done a good job in this essay. The next day, I took my essay to a nearby agricultural middle school and read it aloud to middle school students as a model text. I was a little famous in our school at the time, and the teacher had to comment on my essay in two composition classes a week, and the teacher wrote a lot of criticism, and until the mid-80s, the composition text was still there, which is also a rare memory for me.

……

As can be seen from the above, for many writers and artists, these art manuscripts from their formative years are a great memory for them, but they are a great treasure for many collectors.

It is precisely because of this that the three paintings of Master Zhang Yangong from his youth exhibited by Lu Sanye in front of him have even more high collection value.

However, for this gamble, it is a bit difficult for Lin Yi.

First of all, these three paintings are all works of the same author, Zhang Yangong, and secondly, they are all works of the same period, how do you ask Lin Yi to distinguish the value of these three paintings?

Don't talk about Lin Yi, even Dean Zhan, who was watching the battle on the side, had a headache when he saw this, and said: "Lu Sanye's move is amazing, there is almost no trick to dismantle, and I don't know how to do it ...... these little friends."

Nalan Zhu looked at this time, but couldn't help laughing, and said: "This is called toasting, not eating, punishing wine, and bringing humiliation on himself--- if he was willing to listen to my kind words and persuade and sold the collection of books at a high price, there would not be today's embarrassing situation." ”

Dean Zhan said with a wry smile: "Miss Nalan may not understand, for bibliophiles, encountering a good collection of books is like encountering a rare treasure, a peerless secret book, and many people are eager to get it; And how many of those guardians can keep their hearts and not give up? People say that money can buy everything, but is that really the case? Before the wheels of history, before the temptation of money, there are always some people who are standing, aren't they? ”

Nalan Zhu was a little speechless, she thought about it carefully, Lin Yi rejected Old Man Lu several times, rejected himself, and rejected the tempting sky-high price, which would never appear on ordinary people.

After pondering like this, Nalan Zhu suddenly discovered that Lin Yi was not a hateful man, on the contrary, he was a very peculiar man. Perhaps her dislike for him mainly comes from his unyielding to money and power, and this is exactly what attracts her the most. In the shopping mall, she is used to seeing those who are flattering and sycophant in front of money, but now there is such a superb Lin Yi, but she is a little unaccustomed, so she will "dislike" him......

Suddenly guessing the true thoughts in his heart, Nalan Zhu couldn't help but be shocked, and then set off a wave, and then looked at Lin Yi, but he was no longer so annoying, on the contrary, he was a little appreciative. (To be continued.) )
