Chapter 107: The Mystery of Truth and Falsehood

After Lisa finished speaking, Li Tianbao blinked a pair of curious eyes and said, "'Mysterious smile', what's so mysterious about a smile?" ”

"Yes, for 500 years, people have been at odds with the mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa. Different viewers or at different times will have different feelings.

Sometimes I think she smiles comfortably and gently, sometimes she looks serious, sometimes she seems to be slightly sad, and sometimes she even shows ridicule and ridicule.

In a painting, the change in light cannot make as much difference as in a sculpture. But on the Mona Lisa's face, a faint shadow looms in and out of her eyes, casting a veil over her eyes and lips.

A university in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, used 'emotion recognition software' to analyze the content and proportion of the Mona Lisa's smile: 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry. ”

After Li Tianbao heard this, he laughed and said: "Are these people full of food and have nothing to do, I don't believe that there are any instruments in this world that can analyze it, and a few expressions of a smile are so specific." ”

"Hear me first!" Lisa said, "Margaret, a neurologist at Harvard University? Dr. Livingstone said the Mona Lisa's smile is related to the human visual system, not because of the mysterious expression of the person in the painting. ”

Li Tianbao shook his head, "Maybe what you said is the truth, but who guarantees that this one in your hand is the real thing?" ”

"For hundreds of years, many collectors have claimed to have as many as 60 real Mona Lisa in their possession. What's more interesting is that in 1984, the Bertrand Museum of Art in Maine, USA, received a painting of "Mona Lisa Without Smiling". Fincher's handwriting, the characters in the painting resemble the Mona Lisa herself, except for the fact that they do not smile. Experts speculate that this "Mona Lisa Without Smiling" may have been painted by the author at the same time.

There is also a theory that the Mona Lisa in the Louvre is a fake, based on the theft that took place in 1911. In that theft, the Mona Lisa was stolen. Two years later, it appeared in Italy, but the columns behind the Mona Lisa had been cut off. A few years later, the Mona Lisa was returned to the Louvre. But many experts believe that the recovery was just a smokescreen, that the real Mona Lisa had been bought by a wealthy collector for a large sum of money, and that it was only a fake hanging in the Louvre. ”

"These are all hearsay, the real Mona Lisa is in our Louvre, and some rumors are naturally not credible."

Sun Jian just wanted to express himself as a Chinese expert according to Li Tianbao's meaning, and he was not completely ignorant of this painting, but he didn't expect to get the disgust of the other party, so he hurriedly apologized: "That's right, of course this is true, I just said it casually." ”

Lisa didn't say anything, but Andrew next to Li Tianbao was very angry and said, "You are all pseudo-experts of hearsay. ”

Li Tianbao became angry when he heard this, but was interrupted by Director Zhang, who was already prepared, he was obviously afraid that Li Tianbao and these French experts would clash again, so he casually asked: "There is something I have never understood, and I think it has troubled many people. The Mona Lisa has been silently smiling at the audience in the Louvre. On April 4, 2001, she was finally able to take a day off. As far as I know, there have been criticisms that the painting was damaged because of a mistake on the part of the staff. ”

"No, no, no, these are rumors, I can't believe it, although I only went to work at the Louvre for three years and didn't know anything about what happened at that time, but this matter must be false." Lisa said solemnly. On April 4 of that year, visitors would not see the charming smile of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. According to the Louvre's statement, the Mona Lisa will move to the exhibition hall on that day and take a 'day off', which will be the first time in 30 years that the famous painting will be interrupted at the Louvre.

The Louvre said in a statement that after four years, the Mona Lisa will be relocated to the renovated old exhibition hall on April 4. In 2000, the Louvre moved the Mona Lisa to its current temporary exhibition hall due to its age, storage conditions and safety problems.

According to the museum's explanation, the interruption of the exhibition for one day will be unavoidable, because on that day the engineers need to install lighting and special reflective glass for the relocated Mona Lisa, as well as set up a more reasonable viewing path. In order to avoid the disappointment of the large number of tourists who come to visit the museum, the Louvre has notified nearly 6,000 travel agencies around the world, and has made explanations on its homepage in 10 languages. ”

Li Tianbao didn't seem to be interested in the words of the two, he was only interested in one thing, and that was the value of the painting.

"Okay, okay, I really don't care about anything else, I just want to ask how much this painting is worth?"

Lisa smiled and said, "The Mona Lisa has been hailed as the most valuable portrait for hundreds of years, and in the 60s it was estimated to be worth $100 million. One can imagine how much this painting will be worth in a few days. ”

"Good guys, it was worth 100 million dollars in the '60s."

In anticipation, Lisa had already put on her gloves and slowly spread out the famous painting on the table.

"What's so nice about fat." Although Li Tianbao thought so in his heart, his body had already gotten up and leaned over to look at the paintings on the table, and at the moment when Li Tianbao saw the most fascinating, a hand gently pushed behind him.

Li Tianbao's body was unstable, and he swooped down towards the tabletop, his hands subconsciously wanted to support his body, but when his hands were propped up on the table, he heard the sound of paper tearing.

"Damn, I broke the Mona Lisa, that's 100 million dollars from the 60s!"

Everyone present was silent except for Andrew, and then Lisa's scream, "Mr. Li, you actually tore the Mona Lisa to shreds." ”

"It's not me, someone pushed behind me just now, it's none of my business." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Andrew, who looked innocent on the surface.

"What, if you destroy our country's national treasure, you dare not admit it, I see how your institute will explain."

Li Tianbao is obviously speechless, even if he knows that Andrew made the damage, but the thing is indeed broken by himself.

The people in the institute are also at a loss at this time, and it is obvious that the seriousness of this matter has exceeded people's imagination.

At this moment, the blue mist in Li Tianbao's right eye suddenly emerged, and the picture began to appear on the painting, and when the picture flew back into Li Tianbao's eye socket after the picture ended, he couldn't help but think, "So that's the case, blue fog, blue fog, you have helped me a lot." ”

Andrew saw that Li Tianbao had been silent, so he said loudly: "Do you think silence can solve things?" Tell you, this time I can't afford to buy you, and I can't afford to pay for all your Chinese cultural relics. ”

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Li Tianbao's mouth, which made everyone present think that Li Tianbao was scared stupid, Sun Jian hurriedly said: "Brother, are you okay, don't worry, things can always be solved." ”

Director Zhang on Sun Jian's side was a kind old pedant, and he hurriedly followed: "Xiaobao, don't be too sad, you are a member of the research institute, no matter what happens, the research institute will be responsible, don't be afraid!" ”

"Afraid, what do I have to be afraid of." Li Tianbao suddenly said such a sentence, which made the people in the research institute breathe a sigh of relief, because everyone understands that things are never important.

The experts sent by the French side this time were all passable in Chinese, and they were all angry when they heard Li Tianbao's indifferent words, and even Lisa, who had always been kind to Li Tianbao, was a little angry.

"What are you talking about, do you still feel relaxed that something so big has happened?" Lisa Road.

"What's so great about a fake painting being shattered by me, why don't I feel relaxed?"

Li Tianbao's rhetorical question made Lisa a little stunned, but Andrew was a little surprised.

"Andrew, why don't you speak, I think you're the only one who knows that this painting is fake, so you have nothing to say, are you wondering, how did I know?"

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he paused and continued: "Tell you, don't think that our Chinese cultural relics experts are all dry meals, we know everything about those cats in the Louvre." ”

"Don't say it, please don't say it." Andrew obviously didn't want Li Tianbao to continue, obviously he didn't want to let the superfluous let him know this secret.

"Andrew!" Lisa looked at Andrew, who was a little depressed, and said, "What the hell is going on, I want you to explain it to me?" ”

"I'm sorry, although you are the team leader, but I don't have the right to say anything about the painting, this matter is over, this painting will not be exhibited for now, we will only expand the other parts, if you have any doubts, you can ask our curator."

After Andrew finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled out and walked out, apparently hiding in the car in the yard.

Li Tianbao's words made everyone present stunned, especially Director Zhang and Sun Jian, who were obviously more curious about their doubts about these things.

"Xiaobao, come with me."

After Director Zhang finished speaking, he walked out alone.

Lisa wanted to stop Li Tianbao and ask what was going on, but Li Tianbao said, "Our director called me, if you are curious, you can go to my house to find me." ”

Li Tianbao winked at Lisa and followed Director Zhang and walked over.

When he came to the director's office, Director Zhang closed the door and said, "Xiaobao, you just made me go back and forth in the ghost gate." Tell me if what you just said is true, and if so, how do you know if the painting is fake? ”

"I'm fooling them, just talking about it!" Li Tianbao said deliberately.

"No, you actually ...... in that situation," Director Zhang wondered.

"That's why I said that because I have no other way, otherwise I can't afford to pay for the money, and I'm still anxious to use the money." (To be continued.) )
