Chapter 41: Fu Baoshi's Painting

It stands to reason that this game should belong to individual battles. So as soon as the huge boss and the others left, some people in the audience hurried to the wall and studied it carefully.

However, some people feel that it is not efficient to fight alone, so they naturally have some thoughts.

For example, Xiao Ding suddenly walked up to Qi Xiang and whispered: "Shopkeeper Qi, let's unite, right?" ”

"Joint?" Qi Xiang was stunned and puzzled: "What union?" ”

"We're working together." Xiao Ding suggested: "Let's find fakes together, it's faster." Think about it, if we join forces and find five paintings for one person, the efficiency will be at least doubled, and it must be faster than others, right? ”

"After completing the task first and getting the lottery, how about we score half again?"

Xiao Ding paused, and added: "Of course, whoever finds more fakes will have higher scores, which is fair, right?" ”

I have to say that Xiao Ding's brain is very flexible and turns faster than others. Although there is also a suspicion of opportunism in doing so, the rules announced by the huge boss just now do not clearly state that joint action is not allowed.

In other words, working together to find fakes is also within the rules, and it is not considered cheating.

But for Xiao Ding's proposal, after Qi Xiang smiled, he shook his head directly: "I refuse ......"

"Why?" Xiao Ding was stunned.

"I want to work on my own." Qi Xiang said lightly and left for a leisurely walk.

"You ......" Xiao Ding held a breath in his chest, and it took a long time to suppress it, and then he hummed in a low voice: "I don't know the current affairs, I really think that I am an eagle and can see everything?" ”

Xiao Ding scolded twice, and a pair of eyes turned again, continuing to look for a partner in the crowd.

The space on the second floor is large, and there are naturally a lot of hanging calligraphy and paintings.

Qi Xiang glanced all the way, and roughly estimated that there should be hundreds of calligraphy and paintings. Among the hundreds of calligraphy and paintings, there are ten fakes, which is a 1 in 10 chance.

One out of ten, it stands to reason that this probability is relatively large.

However, many people watched the calligraphy and painting carefully, but they did not move for a long time. The main thing is that I am afraid of making mistakes, after all, there is only one chance, and if I make a mistake, there is no chance to make up for it.

However, Qi Xiang also noticed a phenomenon, behind some people, there were always four or five people hanging.

At first thought, he smiled dumbly, and he understood why.

Needless to say, the person who starts must be an expert. Others know that the connoisseur has a level, but they are not confident in themselves, so they simply follow the connoisseur, intending to pick up a bargain. But whenever a connoisseur stopped to look at a calligraphy or painting, they hurriedly wrote it down......

In this regard, Qi Xiang couldn't help but shake his head, knowing that these people were doing useless work.

After all, connoisseurs are not stupid, how can they not know the minds of these people. If you find someone following you, which expert will expose your goals? The approach of smart people is definitely to push the boat along the river and deliberately mislead......

Qi Xiang was also glad that he was a strange face, no one knew him, and no one knew his strength, so naturally no one paid attention to him, so he was like a fish in water, and he read the calligraphy and painting easily.

Half an hour passed after walking in a circle.

In the meantime, some people went up to the third floor, but they didn't come down.

For this situation, some people like it and some people worry about it. Happily, the person who went up did not come down, indicating that he was out. But thinking about it on the other hand, it also makes people worry, is there already someone who has won the lottery?

Everyone had different thoughts, and then they saw Qi Xiang walking towards the third floor.

In an instant, Xiao Ding frowned, and for some reason, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"If you think too much, it must be an illusion. No matter how powerful he is, he can't find ten fakes at once, maybe it's a matter of luck. Xiao Ding comforted himself, and hurriedly beckoned his newly recruited accomplices to continue looking at the painting.

Qi Xiang went up to the third floor, and saw that the layout of the upstairs was somewhat different from the second floor.

The second floor is large and the decoration is relatively simple. The third floor looks a little smaller, mainly spaced out to form elegantly decorated rooms dedicated to entertaining guests.

At this moment, the huge boss and several expert masters were chatting and laughing in one of the tea rooms. In addition, there were a few people who came up first, either depressed, or calmly sitting on the sidelines, drinking tea honestly.

Qi Xiang walked into the tea room, and the people inside were naturally quiet.

Someone glanced at Qi Xiang, and immediately chuckled: "Hey, another blind ......"

The others thought so deeply and laughed together, after all, looking at Qi Xiang's age, it was not difficult to come to such a conclusion. But they weren't laughing, but they were a little bit of sameness.

Because they are also like this, in the case of inaccuracy, they also guess a few random and try their luck.

A few old people, probably thinking the same way, after glancing at Qi Xiang, they drank tea when they should drink tea, and chatted when they should chat, and there was no special reaction.

It was the huge boss who stood up quite kindly, and said with a smile: "Little brother, tell me, which paintings are fakes?" ”

"The first one!" Qi Xiang spoke.

"Hmm!"

Including the huge boss, a group of people nodded unconsciously.

No one thinks it is strange, mainly people who dare to come up and try their luck, and it is impossible to simply try their luck, and they have some eyesight to be able to see three or five fakes.

If you can't see a fake, then there's no need to be embarrassed.

"Then what do you think, where is the first calligraphy and painting?" The huge boss asked again, this is an extra layer of insurance, lest Qi Xiang is cheating, and knows that the first painting is a fake through other channels, but he can't say the specific reason.

Knowing what it is and not knowing why it is also considered a violation of the rules and will be kicked out.

"The author of the first word, that is the famous Fu Baoshi's landscape painting."

Qi Xiang was confident and talked eloquently: "I don't make any comments on the idea, strokes, and style of this painting, just talking about the paper on which this painting is a flaw." ”

"Oh?"

The others were stunned for a moment, which can be regarded as another way.

Because when other people are commenting on their first paintings, they always like to talk about the style of brushwork. The brushwork of the fake is also a bit level, but compared with a master like Fu Baoshi, it is still far behind.

As long as you have some understanding of Fu Baoshi's calligraphy and painting style, you can easily identify the fake.

However, Qi Xiang used the drawing paper to talk about things, which was a bit special.

The huge boss was very curious and couldn't help asking, "You said there is a problem with the drawing paper?" ”

"That's right, it's not right to draw paper." Qi Xiang nodded and said: "As far as I know, Fu Baoshi likes to use rice paper for figure painting, and leather paper for landscape painting. The fake is a landscape painting, and the paper is clearly rice paper. As soon as I looked at it, I knew something was wrong. ”

"This ......" The huge boss was stunned and hesitated: "This kind of thing, there are always exceptions, it seems that it can't be used as direct evidence." ”

"No, it's direct evidence." Qi Xiang is very sure: "Because I saw the payment of the fake, the inscription was in the spring of 1940, during that time, Mr. Fu happened to be in Shuchuan, and he must only use leather paper for painting." ”

"Why?" The huge boss raised an eyebrow, skeptical.

At this moment, an old man put down the teacup, with a bit of approval in his eyes, and helped explain: "Because it was in the stage of the Anti-Japanese War at that time, rice paper was relatively expensive and extremely difficult to buy, while leather paper was cheap and could be found everywhere. ”

"Fu Baoshi lived in poverty back then, although he felt that the leather paper was rough, but there was still merit in the reflection of the ink color, so he painted the old people and landscapes in this period often used the leather paper produced in Guizhou Duyun, and only when painting the pictures of ladies, he used better quality rice paper......

The old man said slowly: "Even after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Fu returned to Jinling from Shuchuan and brought back a large amount of this kind of leather paper, so before 1950, the landscape paintings he painted in Jinling were all painted with this kind of leather paper. ”

"In the late fifties, Mr. Fu's life improved, and he began to purchase handmade leather paper from Wenzhou, or ancient leather paper from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty......"

The old man carefully pointed out: "Therefore, the paper used by Mr. Fu Baoshi in different periods, especially Guizhou leather paper, Qianlong Xuan paper, and Qianlong leather paper, is not available to modern forgers. ”

"The difference in painting paper is naturally one of the important bases for identifying the authenticity of Fu Baoshi's works."

The old man made no secret of his appreciation: "Young man, you are good, to the point." ”

Qi Xiang smiled humbly, and then looked at the huge boss.

"Haha, it turned out that I was lonely and unheard, which made everyone laugh." The huge boss was also happy, directly admitted that he didn't understand, and then asked with a smile: "What is the second fake?" ”

"No. 3 is still Fu Baoshi's work." Qi Xiang smiled.

"What?"

At this moment, the few people who came up before couldn't sit still, because none of them suspected that there was something wrong with the work numbered three.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the huge boss, and then asked quietly, "What do you say?" ”

Qi Xiang was very calm and said softly: "If the first work is the wrong paper, then the third number is the wrong ink." ”

"What's wrong with Mo?" The huge boss asked, looking deaf.

Qi Xiang didn't look at him, but looked at the old man just now, and explained with a smile: "As far as I know, Master Fu Baoshi is very particular about the ink used in painting. In particular, the requirements for ink ingots are more serious. ”

He collected a large number of famous inks from the Ming and Qing dynasties, not as antiques, but for painting. He used to use oil smoke, paint smoke and old ink, grinding inkstone to paint, and never tried to paint with ink, without exception. ”

Qi Xiang's tone was categorical: "So as long as you observe the places where his works are rich and colorful, they must be black and crystal purple, and the black is translucent and shiny." ”

This is the distinguishing feature of Mr. Fu's original handwriting, and it would not have been possible to achieve this effect if it were not painted with high-quality ink ingots. Therefore, the authenticity of the work can also be identified from the effect reflected in the ink of the painting. ”

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Old man, do you think what I said is right?" ”

Everyone walks by, don't forget to vote, thank you for your support, ask for collection.
