Chapter 317: Turbulent
Only Fang Yi was secretly depressed in his heart, he originally thought that this Lauder had vision, but now that he looked at this person, he was simply an old fox.
As soon as Fang Yi saw the fragment published in the magazine, he only knew that it was really Rembrandt's authentic work, because this thing was almost exactly the same as the picture presented in his mind, although some of the colors had been peeled off, but the remaining things could directly judge the authenticity. If someone is trying to copy it, it's really too unlikely. Who's going to make a scrap like that? If there is no thing that Fang Yi has put out, the best result of this piece is that it is proved to be painted by Rembrandt, and if you want to buy it for a price, it is really hopeless, because it really does not see what is painted on it, but it is more like an abstract work. Rembrandt's abstract paintings? You're thinking a little too much.
Now, of course, Fang Yi and the others know what Lu Dao is, and this Lauder will be very happy to buy his work immediately. With Fang Yi's work as an introduction, the fragment in his own hand was immediately identified by an art connoisseur as a piece of Rembrandt's work, and even the money from the buyer's work was earned back with this piece alone, not to mention that this imitation is now not only Fang Yi's imitation.
If there was such a remnant in the hands of this person, Fang Yi's offer would at least add a million beauties!
Things seem to be moving towards the better, as many of the master examiners believe that the fragment was indeed the work of Rembrandt himself. At this moment, the image of Lauder immediately took a 180-degree turn, judging from the brushstrokes and colors that remain of this fragment. Some of the light and shadow transitions are very similar to Fang Yi's inferred works, and some of the brushstrokes are even more inseparable.
Then think about it, what Fang Yi deduced was not like before. Others thought it was nonsense, but now this work provides a rough picture of the complete work. This painting has already had a certain research value. Of course, it's not more than three million that can make Lauder make a move.
Lauder played beautifully, and killed three birds with one stone, not only promoting his private museum, but also obtaining two works of increased value, and also giving a very loud slap in the face to the art media and critics who sneered at him in front of him! It's almost like asking rhetorically in the media: Now look at who is the fool, me or you?
"This person is too profitable," Fang Yi sat on the sofa and looked at the latest issue of the magazine. Ronald? Lauder stood between Fang Yi's painting and the remnants, clasping his hands on his chest and looking ahead with a smile on his face.
"Indeed!" Kahima opened his mouth and said, judging from the man's step-by-step arrangement. This is probably the best way to do it. If the remnants are taken out too early, in a certain sense, the art media will have less time to hype or insult themselves, so it may not have the current effect. With the current name, the two works are especially Fang Yi's imitation. It has been known to the public. The price of such a work of art is not 3.7 million yuan that can be dismissed by virtue of the turmoil that has been caused. Not to mention the fact that experts believe that it may be a missing piece of Rembrandt's "The Judgment of the Bavians".
Artur turned to Fang Yi and asked, "How did you deduce it?" How can there be such a high degree of similarity? ”。
As soon as these words came out, not only Artur, but also Ruud and Beronica also turned their heads to look at Fang Yi.
"First look at the old Batavians, and then, according to some of Rembrandt's habits, add the margins of the surviving work. The most important thing is a feeling that it should be like this, and that's how it should be. What is very important here is to understand his thoughts" Fang Yi began to run the train with his mouth full, and what he said was quite mysterious.
Kahima asked casually. After listening to Fang Yi's explanation for a while, he moved on to the next topic, feeling that this thing was sometimes too amazing, where could he explain it clearly. Everyone is playing art, not breaking the casserole and asking the end.
"Now those idiots are going to regret it," Ruud said with hatred at open mouth. The fool he was talking about was of course referring to some museums in the Netherlands, who were only going to buy Yi's work for two or three hundred thousand yuan in the past, but now they probably don't feel so comfortable.
For Ruud, who is immersed in the studio, the bids of these Dutch museums are also in a sense like a slap in the face. Two or three hundred thousand? The work you fancy is only worth two or three hundred thousand? Anyway, Ruud remembered these bastards in his heart. For the first time, I introduced a buyer to a friend's work, and I thought it was something that was meaningful to the Netherlands, but now I have seen such a result. Ruud was even a little gloating in his heart.
Fang Yi looked at Lu De's hateful look, and then realized that this friend of his was actually a little vindictive. Not to mention the museum, now Fang Yi himself regretted a little bit about the three million dollars he had reported, even if Zou Heming added another 700,000 yuan on his own initiative. A little loss, a little loss! This was Fang Yi's inner thoughts.
"Who broke the news that the gallery has this work?" Beronica asked.
Fang Yi thought for a while and said: "It's nothing more than that I've seen some people, the biggest possibility is the British connoisseur who went to the gallery to see the paintings, one of these people is familiar with Lauder, and told Lauder about this."
Fang Yi's inference is very reasonable, and it is a fact, a British connoisseur is not only familiar with Lauder, but also a very good friend, the identification of the remnant is this one, when I saw Fang Yi's inference work, the mind immediately remembered the fragment that Lauder had let himself identify before, and when he left Lawrence Gallery, he told Lauder the news and asked him to come and take a look, Fang Yi deduced that some of the works were similar to the remnants in his hand. That's when Lauder called Lawrence Gallery and asked to see Fang Yi's work.
Just when Fang Yi and his friends thought that this matter was going to pass, who knew that a piece of news pushed this matter up again, that is, the question of the remnants.
A second-rate newspaper in the United States gave full play to its imagination and connected Lauder and Fang Yi, and then the two works together, and deduced a question that attracted more public attention: Could it be that Lauder and Fang Yi had known each other for a long time, and the two reached a deal on this matter?
According to the analysis of this media, that is, the defects and Fang Yi's imitations may be from Fang Yi's hands, or the remnants are real, and the imitations refer to the remnants for creation! If this inference is followed, then the whole thing is a conspiracy, at least one of the two people, Lauder and Fang Yi, participated, and the other person nodded in agreement and carried out this hype!
Such an inference was immediately quoted by many mass media, ordinary people just have fun watching it, what kind of appraisal do you say to them, who cares! And the media also used the possibility, perhaps such words are all inferential tones. However, this can be explained according to the usual logic, and now the public has a new topic after dinner.
When he first appeared in the mass media, Fang Yi didn't pay too much attention to it. Mass media, if it is to attract attention, in order to conform to the taste of the public, many media are not disciplined.
"The whole thing is like a lie" in the New York newspaper This chapter of the article was put on the front page, and the following was accompanied by a photo of the remnant and Fang Yi's imitation, of course, in black and white! The article quoted the reporter's interview with an expert who said that the remnants may theoretically have been the work of Fang Yi. However, in the article, the word theory in the mouth of the connoisseur was removed, and it was directly turned into a possible imitation of Fang Yi. In the article, he began to question the character of Fang Yi and Lauder, and the tone of his speech was almost like identifying the two of them as conspiring together to start this hype. As for what benefits can be obtained for two? Needless to say, Lauder advertised his museum, and the prices of the two works went up. Fang Yi gained a lot of fame from this incident, and now even some ordinary people know Fang Yi's name, can you say that Fang Yi didn't benefit from this matter?
Isn't it possible for the art medium to go so far without discipline, and the works of the seventeenth century are imitated to the level of fragments? This is too difficult, not to say that it is a canvas, but to say that it is a pigment or something, at that time, it was all handmade, and there was no tin tube or anything, and it was very difficult to imitate the ingredients inside, not to mention that many experts recognized it as Rembrandt's handwriting? Is this possible?
If it is a remnant of Fang Yi's work, what is it still imitating for, wouldn't it be better to make up for it directly with such a technique, then it will be sold directly for tens of millions of dollars, even hundreds of millions of dollars is not a surprising thing, the Swedish museum that collects the original work and the Dutch are afraid that they will get these remaining works even if they break their heads.
The mass media pays attention to gimmicks, and now that there is this thing, the media doesn't care about what mess you have, as long as someone is willing to watch it, then say it. It's like in some so-called military tabloids in China, what China has at every turn, which scares the United States and Japan, what China has, which scares the United States, Japan, Russia and so on, can you say that no one buys these nonsense things at a glance? It's just to cater to some people's tastes, and no one buys what to do with it!
Fermented from the United States and then spread to the mass media in Europe, at this time it was surging, because Fang Yi is Chinese, and now the name of a liar was sent to the brains of Fang Yi and Lauder by these media, and many people were also bewitched, thinking that Fang Yi and Lauder conspired to make this play.
The tycoon Lauder was not polite, and directly asked his lawyer to report the perpetrator to the court, demanding $30 million in damages for reputational damage, and then apologized. As soon as this demand for compensation came out, it seemed to add fuel to the fire on this matter. Now it's even more lively. (To be continued......)
