Chapter 585: Mysterious Painting
In this world, there are some things, some things, and it is easy to distinguish between victory and defeat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's like a racing project, if you are fast, you are slow, and if you are a thrower, far is far, near is near, no matter what excuses, grievances, and reasons there are, but the result is clear at a glance.
However, it is also a sports competition, and those that need to be scored by the referee are not so simple.
Just like gymnastics, diving, and swimming, although each movement of an athlete has strict evaluation criteria, since it is the referee's scoring, it will inevitably have some subjective factors.
The same is true for the painting and calligraphy competition.
Moreover, compared with sports competitions that have been tempered and set their own evaluation standards, the proportion of subjective factors in the evaluation of calligraphy and painting is much larger, sometimes even more than 50%!
Of course, this 50% definitely does not mean that those experts in charge of judging will be biased regardless of principles, but even if they think that they have absolutely no selfish judgment, there is inevitably a strong subjective factor in it.
Because, there are too many styles of calligraphy, too complicated. And among these many styles, many of them are not recognized by everyone, so even if you reach a certain peak, it is likely that what you will gain is not all praise.
Moreover, even if it is the same peak, this peak is also superior and inferior, not to mention that everyone is still on the way to the peak? At this time, who has taken one more step and who has taken one less step is not on the same road, and you are not allowed to add subjectivity, how should you judge?
Relatively speaking, the domestic competition is a little better. Because of its own authority and restraint ability, even if the result may not be so perfect, but generally everyone is more recognized, even if there are individual disapprovals, at most it is to complain in private, and you will never dare to jump out on your face, because you still have to mix in this circle.
However, a pheasant competition that has no foundation in itself, such as a root-seeking trip, involves several countries, and you can know without thinking about it that it will inevitably involve unavoidable issues such as national honor and national honor, which makes people a little painful.
The result of egg pain is tearing, and the result of tearing is often only two, either break or compromise.
The root-seeking journey chose to compromise, and their way of compromise is to be with the mud, hello, hello, everyone, is really good.
However, the person in charge of judging can compromise with the mud, but the players can't! Originally, they represented their respective countries, and they originally had a certain sense of provocation, so now you will be mixed together, so you are still playing hair?
If the gap between these contestants was relatively large, things might be easier, but the top painters who participated in the root-seeking tour this time were basically on the same level!
Therefore, although the journey to find one's roots has only been one stop, there is already a feeling that it cannot be carried out.
"This form of communication is pretty, right? I want to say hello, but this is my thousands of years of inheritance in China, and it turns out that you are an outsider better than me, where do I put my face? But people are also wronged, I admit that I came to find my roots, and you are still scheming with me, why do you have no grace at all? Grass, I really don't know how brain-dead I have to be to think of organizing this kind of competition, but people not only organized it, but also really got some good players, oops, the egg hurts! ”
Ma Weizhong shook his head and smiled wryly.
Li Yi thought about it, this is indeed the truth, and couldn't help laughing:
"Then according to you, are you going to break up the gang?"
"I'd rather it break up! Now not only are the old guys in charge of judging embarrassed, in fact, we are also embarrassed, if you don't go all out, you will be embarrassed, but if you really go all out, the results can make you angry to death, you say, what should I do? ”
"Since it's so uncomfortable, then stop playing, what's there?"
"What's there? Ah, I can withdraw at any time, but I really withdraw, and there are some levels left, and I lose every time, but I just fell into someone's trap? ”
"That's easy, you guys go, change to a batch that can be crushed, and ravage them a few times, won't it be over?"
"Huh, ravage? Let's not talk about whether we can ravage or not, even if we can ravage, the problem is again, we ourselves came under the banner of a root-seeking journey, and we have already held you so high, but you are still like this, do you still have a little grace......"
"Damn, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do they want?"
"So brain-dead! Alas, whoever steps on the horse, anyway, he tries his best every time, and the rest, Lao Tzu does not mix! ”
Ma Weizhong sighed and stood up,
"Have you eaten? I didn't eat and let's go have a drink together, and I'll tell you something by the way. ”
The two found a small restaurant on the street and ordered a few local snacks, Ma Weizhong said:
"Do you remember? When I was in Chang'an, I told you that a friend of mine had a picture of Tang Bohu, but he couldn't see it, and I wanted you to help him see it? ”
"Oh...... It seems that there is such a thing, but I haven't heard you talk about it for so long in Yanjing, so I think it's been solved. ”
"It was originally solved, because when we were still in Chang'an, that guy couldn't stand the temptation. Confused, I bought the painting directly, so I didn't bother you anymore. It's just that I didn't expect that the plan is not as fast as the change, and now I'm looking for you again. ”
"Oh? What do you mean? Have a problem drawing? ”
"No, at that time, the reason why he was in a hurry to make a move was because the price had dropped, he was afraid of missing the opportunity, and he had also found other experts to see it before, and they all said that it should be genuine. But this time, I wanted to find someone to see it, because suddenly someone made an offer to buy his painting......"
"Oh? This is also very simple, the experts he found at that time should have helped him do the appraisal, if you want to sell, just follow the valuation. ”
"I said the same thing, but the price offered by the person who wanted to buy the painting this time was too high, more than double the estimate, so my friend ...... You should know this, right? ”
Li Yi's eyes widened, then he shook his head with a wry smile,
"So your friend began to suffer from gains and losses, for fear that there was some mystery in this painting, and everyone didn't see it, for fear that he would lose money, right?"
"Yes, this is the human heart! 3.8 million was collected, and the estimate given by experts was 12 million to 17 million, but suddenly a buyer came, and he didn't ask, and directly offered 50 million! This matter, don't say that he hesitates, if it is me, I must also weigh it carefully......"
Li Yi nodded,
"Okay, when I go back to Yanjing, I'll help him take a look, but when I get to the end of the story, I may not be able to estimate ......."
"It's okay, I just want you to help him see if there is any mystery in this painting that everyone hasn't seen...... Moreover, you don't have to wait until you go back to Yanjing, he brought something over, it is already in the sky at this time, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive before 10 o'clock. ”
"Oh, in such a hurry?"
"Well, it's the buyer who is in a hurry, and the price quoted to him this morning, the day after tomorrow, he will leave and return to the United States."
"Okay then, I won't go out at night anyway, you can just call me when he comes."
After eating, the two returned to the hotel, Li Yi took out a pen and paper and practiced for a while, and at ten o'clock, the doorbell rang and someone came.
Ma Weizhong's friend is also a young man, almost twenty-five or sixteen, and he looks a little handsome, but he didn't expect that the appraiser that Ma Weizhong strongly recommended to him would be a young man younger than him, so he was obviously stunned for a moment, but then his face was full of smiles.
"Zhang Changyi, the chapter of the article, the Changyi of the often recalled, Mr. Li, I trouble you this time."
"It's okay, it's okay, they're all friends, and it's right to help."
Li Yi smiled and let the two into the room, and after a few words of greeting, Zhang Changyi took out the painting from the painting tube.
This is an ink landscape on silk with vertical scroll and color, judging from the artist's retention and the treatment of some details, it does look like Tang Bohu's authentic handiwork.
But even if it is Tang Bohu's authentic handiwork, the value of this painting should not exceed 20 million. However, the person who wants to buy the painting, without any competition, directly offers 50 million, is there really any mystery in the middle?
After carefully looking at the painting a few times, Li Yi shook his head and opened the spirit card, and then, he was slightly stunned, Nima, I was eye-catching!
A faint cool air flowed through, and the identification results of the spirit identification card were clearly displayed in front of his eyes, the author of this painting was actually the mysterious Ding Yi! And its age is still in the period of the Liberation War!
Ding Yi during the Liberation War......
Li Yi's mind came up with Fu Baoshi's landscape works that he had seen in the information, and then shook his head slightly, it shouldn't be him.
However, if it weren't for him, such a high-level imitation, whose handiwork would it be?
You must know that he has just seen a true painting of Tang Bohu, and coupled with his current level of identification, it is not easy to hide from his eyes.
But this painting was just hidden, and it made him dazzle!
Li Yi shook his head slightly, carefully read the painting bit by bit, and then looked at the painting scroll and the picture again, and finally touched his chin, frowned, and sat on the sofa without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Any questions? ”
Ma Weizhong had already finished reading it, and he didn't see any problems at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw him with such an expression at this time.
"This painting should not be Tang Bohu's real handiwork, and it ......"
He wanted to talk about the age of the painting, but suddenly remembered that he really couldn't find any suitable reason to climb, so he simply closed his mouth.
"Not the real thing? How is this possible? I found at least three people to help me see it, and now someone is bidding 50 million, 50 million! If it's true or not, how could he be so high? ”
Zhang Changyi's face showed a disapproving expression.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Li Yi didn't bother to explain, just sat quietly on the sofa, in his mind, the painters of that era appeared one after another, but one by one he excluded them, who imitated this painting?
Ma Weizhong pressed his hand at Zhang Changyi, signaled him to be restless, and then said to Li Yi:
"Brother, is this really Tang Bohu's true work?"
Li Yi smiled bitterly and nodded,
"If it weren't for you, the most I would have said I couldn't see...... But it's nothing, even if this painting is genuine, it won't sell for 20 million if it dies, and now someone is bidding 50 million, and it's sold directly, why do you want so much? Anyway, you won't suffer! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Changyi smiled bitterly and shook his head,
"Teacher Li, let me apologize to you first, I was a little impulsive just now."
"It's okay, some people say that my 50 million worth of things is fake, and I don't want to change it to me, but Brother Zhang, you are a friend of Brother Ma, so I'll just say it."
"Uh-huh, just say good, just say good! However, Mr. Li, as you just said, as soon as the price of 50 million is opened, the authenticity of this painting is no longer important, but do you know why I hesitate? ”
Ma Weizhong shook his head, and Li Yi also shook his head.
"I'm not greedy for more, in fact, even if this painting can only be sold for 10 million, I will be very happy, but now, the reason why I hesitate is because the person who bought the painting is so extraordinary! It's because this 50 million is from him, so I'm thinking, what kind of mystery will this painting have that none of us have seen through? If this mystery is not revealed, even if it is sold for 50 million, I am not sure. ”
"Oh? The person who buys the painting is not ordinary, who is it? ”
"You may not have heard of him, but he's definitely a very amazing guy! His name is Shang Yi ......"
"Shangyi? I really haven't heard of ......."
Ma Weizhong frowned and thought about it, and shook his head. And Li Yi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but change his face slightly, how could it be Shang Yi? Could it be that this painting is really the same as the "Guan Yu Capture General", which hides secrets that no one can see except for his old man?
However, even if he really hides a secret, this old man's level of business is really too poor, right? I didn't see that the price was high, and people didn't dare to sell it!
After a turn of thought, he thought of a possibility again, could it be that in order to find this painting, he also offered a price of 50 million for this painting like "Guan Yu's Capture of the General"?
"Teacher Li seems to know about Old Man Shang?"
Zhang Changyi quickly noticed Li Yi's abnormality.
"Well, but I don't know much, but I've vaguely heard that his level of divination is very high."
Zhang Changyi smiled bitterly and nodded,
"It's not just high! Let's put it this way, if he is willing to count, people like us, look at what we have experienced, or what will happen to us in the future, no matter how big or small, he can tell you clearly......"
", how can there be such a person in this world!"
Ma Weizhong looked incredulous.
"I knew you didn't believe it! But it doesn't matter, I just believe it! You think, such a god would rather pay more than twice the price of the normal price to buy my painting, no, Mr. Li also said that this painting is not genuine, then the price is even more outrageous......"
Now, the question arises, what is the shocking secret hidden in this painting, so that he is so desperate to pay a sky-high price rather than get his hands on the painting? Or, taking a step back, could I try to raise the price a little bit more and make a little more money? (To be continued.) )
