0026 Skirt Sister
This painting is very good, there is no doubt about it, but because the size is small, the normal price is about 800,000, and more than 1 million is a bit high.
But Zhou Zhou Ming looked at the line in the upper left corner and hesitated, because this paragraph was written, "Bingxu Year Jiaping Yue Skirt Sister Qing, Shuzhong Zhang Daqian." ”
There is nothing unusual about Zhang Daqian in Shuzhong, Zhang Daqian is just his signature, and Zhang Daqian is the name given to him by his teacher Zeng Xi, Zhang Daqian often pays like this, and there is nothing special about it. What made Zhou Ming hesitate was the identity of the skirt sister, who is this skirt sister?
A prolific painter like Zhang Daqian Qi Baishi, who sells paintings for a living, often paints to strangers, so it is certainly impossible to identify who each painting is for, and it used to be called by font size, which is more difficult to inquire unless it is very famous.
The name of the skirt sister is not like a name, and the name is not like a name, and it is indeed a failure to find the original owner of this painting. Normally, people don't pursue it anymore, because there is no way to pursue it. However, in this way, the value of the painting will definitely be depreciated, and the incidental value of the painting will definitely be different from that of the painting for ordinary people.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Ming would not delve too deeply, as long as the painting is correct, and not many people will really study the origin of the painting. But the word "skirt sister" reminded Zhou Zhou Ming of a famous figure, that is, Mr. Mei Lanfang, the master of Peking Opera.
Everyone is very familiar with the name Mei Lanfang, but this is just Mr. Mei's stage name, his official name is Mei Lan, also known as Heming, but most people don't know very well, Mr. Mei's nickname or milk name is Sister Skirt.
So when he saw the words "Sister Skirt", Zhou Ming subconsciously thought of Mei Lanfang.
Of course, being able to think of Mei Lanfang, not only did the information left by the old Taoist priest play a role, but more importantly, Zhou Ming himself also admired Mr. Mei very much. Don't forget that Zhou Zhou Ming is also from the pear orchard, although he is only mixed with the grass platform team in the village, but the pear orchard is not noble and cheap, and he is the peer of the pear orchard when he enters the industry, and he worships the same ancestor.
So Zhou Zhou Ming subconsciously thought of Mei Lanfang, who was a famous skirt sister.
After pondering it again, Zhou Zhou Ming was even more sure of his judgment, because Zhang Daqian and Mei Lanfang seemed to have no intersection, but in fact, the age difference between the two was only five years old, and they were also very good friends, and more importantly, Mei Lanfang was not only a member of the pear garden, but also liked calligraphy and painting very much.
In the current market, Mei Lanfang's works can be called about 100,000 yuan per square foot.
And thinking of some stories about Mei Lanfang and Zhang Daqian, Zhou Zhou Ming was even more sure that this skirt sister was Mei Lanfang. In 1946, the 35th year of the Republic of China, Mei Lanfang was in Beiping, and Zhang Daqian also held an exhibition in China, and he returned to Beiping from Shanghai in December.
With the friendship between Zhang Daqian and Mei Lanfang, the two of them must get together well, so that the origin and inheritance of this painting will be clear, and there will be no doubts.
It's just that this price must not be estimated according to ordinary works, if it is really on the market, this layer of window paper is broken, and everyone is told that this is specially painted by Zhang Daqian for Mei Lanfang, then the value of this painting cannot be estimated.
Zhang Daqian is like a giant arm in the art world, and he is a great artist who has influenced the whole world, yes, but Mei Lanfang is not bad at all, needless to say, in the field of performing arts in the world, his status even surpasses Zhang Daqian.
You must know that Mei Lanfang is known as the world's three major performance systems along with Stanislavsky and Brecht, and is a well-known figure in the performing arts circle at that time.
Such a painting, painted by a master in the painting world to the Liyuan Taidou, this value is different.
It's a pity that it's still not as good as Zhang Daqian's painting, Mei Lanfang's inscription fan, I remember that there was once such a small fan, the auction price was more than 2 million, close to 3 million, and it was almost ten years ago, and it was only a small fan.
But this painting is not bad, he himself estimates it at about 1.5 million, or even higher, even if it surpasses Qi Baishi's painting, it is not impossible, after all, this painting has a stronger celebrity effect, and there is really no way to judge it by common sense.
"Xiao Zhou, isn't this painting right?" Liu Xiaoya was stunned when she saw Zhou Zhou Ming looking at Zhang Daqian's painting, and hurriedly asked.
Zhou Ming came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, there is no problem, you can do notarization." ”
"Xiaoya, what the hell is going on?" At this time, Liu Xiaoya's boyfriend frowned on the side and asked with some displeasure.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoya hurriedly turned her head and explained, "He An, this is the honorarium I paid to Xiao Zhou, and he will assist in the treatment of Ling'er." ”
"Him?" Liu Xiaoya's face was even more ugly when she heard the words, "Xiaoya, there are a lot of liars these days, don't be fooled, autism is a worldwide problem, and no exact cause has been found until now, let alone treatment, is he a doctor?" How can you trust someone casually and give him such a valuable ancient painting? ”
"But Ling'er really has a special reaction to him, and will greet him and speak," Liu Xiaoya explained anxiously, obviously still caring about this man named He An.
However, Zhou Zhou Ming probably figured out from what he said just now, the relationship between He An and Liu Xiaoya doesn't seem to have reached a certain level, and he doesn't even know what happened last night, which means that Liu Xiaoya didn't live with this He An, otherwise Liu Xiaoya asked him to help treat Ling'er last night, and it would be impossible for He An not to know.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and then laughed secretly, could it be that he still had some kind of idea about Liu Xiaoya? But if you think about it carefully, Liu Xiaoya is indeed a beauty, and her age is not too old, it is estimated that she is less than thirty.
Zhou Zhou Ming was thinking wildly, but Liu Xiaoya and He An over there had some small disputes, because He An resolutely disagreed to give two precious ancient paintings to Zhou Ming as an honorarium, and insisted that Zhou Ming was a charlatan and took the opportunity to cheat the painting, seeing that Liu Xiaoya's attitude was very resolute, and said that it could be exchanged for real estate or something, the ancient paintings were too precious, and the value could not be estimated.
He An's eloquence is also very good, and Liu Xiaoya, who was originally very resolute, also began to hesitate, as if she was planning to really follow He An's advice and replace the two paintings with something else.
Zhou Ming frowned secretly when he saw this, he was willing to help Liu Ziling, one was to see that the little girl was pitiful and had a talent for painting, and the other was really for the sake of those two paintings, if it weren't for those two paintings, how could he spend so much time on a little girl? The two of them are not related, although it sounds like only two hours a day, but counting the time on the way back and forth and other associated time, it is also quite troublesome.
If you simply talk about money, he Zhou Zhou Ming now has a jade pen for creation, and he still needs to worry if he wants to make money? He really didn't care much about four or five million in cash. And Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi's paintings, although they are worth only three or four million, are good things that can be met but not sought, which is the main reason why he agrees.
For the sake of these two paintings, even if he doesn't do anything for a year, Zhou Ming is willing; But if it is exchanged for cash or other things, not to mention a year, or even three months, he has to think about it.
So when Zhou Zhou Ming saw Liu Xiaoya hesitating, he didn't wait for Liu Xiaoya to speak, and stood up decisively, "Sister Liu, I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to stay here on this occasion, you can discuss this matter yourself, and when there is a result between you, let's talk about it again," After speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhou Ming said that he would talk again, but in fact his attitude was very tough, this and this action was to tell Liu Xiaoya, the conditions cannot be changed, if the conditions are changed, then his attitude is also very clear, turn around and leave, no nonsense.
Because Liu Xiaoya originally asked Zhou Zhou Ming to help Liu Ziling, the condition was two paintings, and the original intention was to use two paintings to lure Zhou Ming, because she knew very well how much temptation/temptation these two paintings had on real collectors.
If the negotiated conditions are changed at this time, what will he think of Zhou Ming? When fishing, you have to hang some bait, he Zhou Ming The fish has not been hooked, so he hurriedly replaced the bait, what about the ghost?
Besides, the two of them didn't have much friendship in the first place, and this matter was a business-like private transaction, so Zhou Zhou Ming didn't have any burden at all, and turned around and left. As for Liu Ziling, pitiful is pitiful, but there are more poor children in the world, and there are more pitiful than Liu Ziling, even if he wants to give love, he doesn't need to stare at Liu Ziling and not let go, right?
As soon as Monday Ming left, the two notaries were also dumbfounded, what is this called? Seeing that Liu Xiaoya and He An were still arguing, she felt uncomfortable, and after saying sorry, she also turned around and went out.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and then shouted to He An in a low voice: "Don't worry about my business!" After speaking, he turned around and chased out, first appeased the two notaries, and then hurriedly caught up with Zhou Ming, "Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry, I was not good just now, but don't worry, I am still in charge of family affairs, and the conditions we negotiated will not change, so this can be notarized." ”
Zhou Ming was waiting for Liu Xiaoya's words, and seeing her sincere attitude, he nodded, "Okay." ”
The group returned to the villa, and the two notaries made records, established files, 0 took pictures, audio and video recordings, etc., and began to get busy, but just as they were about to sign, He An walked down from the upper floor, and shouted with a stern face: "This word can't be signed yet!" ”
