Chapter 14 Come and don't be rude
"Want to pit Lao Tzu?"
Xu Zhiyuan took a sip and said: "Don't dare to say anything else, Zhang Daqian still dares to take out his hand?" Wuzi Spring? Bullshit! ”
The year of Wuzi was 1948, the second year after Zhang Daqian left his hometown and fled to Taiwan. Xu Zhiyuan, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, had just talked to Zhang Daqian that his arrival in Taiwan was the lowest ebb of his life, and he had a serious illness in early 1948 and did not recover until July.
During that time, he didn't paint a single painting, and Dunhuang's injustice and illness made him suffer double torture, so how could he be in the mood to paint?
Li Yang, a bastard, actually used the paintings of that time to deceive himself? However, in addition to the flaws in the style, the others are very real, if Xu Zhiyuan didn't know him, he really couldn't see it!
"The first time I met Li Yang, I had no grudges or grudges, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't use fake paintings to deceive me!"
Since Li Yang is an old man in Liulichang, he will definitely not directly deceive himself with fake paintings when they meet for the first time. First, he doesn't know what Xu Zhiyuan's level is? Once the second news gets out, he can be regarded as smashing the signboard, and there is no benefit at all.
"There is only one reason, that is, someone is behind the scenes, in order to resist me!"
Xu Zhiyuan's face was gloomy, this was the only reason he thought of, he had just arrived, he didn't have a grudge with others, he didn't even have a business deal since he opened the door, who would have trouble him in Liuli Factory?
"Hu Xiaotian, it must be him!"
Li Yang is also a senior expert, the person who can instruct him must not be simple, thinking of recent events, there is only one person who will dig a pit for himself with all his heart, and that is Hu Xiaotian.
The day before yesterday, he sold five tickets at a high price, and was packed by Son Zhengyi with 15 million, not only did he gain fame and fortune, but also helped Liu Piaopiao get through the difficulties, which made Hu Xiaotian very unhappy.
Son has a deep background, he can't afford to provoke, it seems that he wants to bully himself as a newcomer? Well, come and don't be rude!
Xu Zhiyuan was not the one who suffered from losses, when he was a child in the orphanage, he relied on his ruthlessness to become the king of children, and now he doesn't provoke others, someone dares to bully him?
"Enter the system!"
Xu Zhiyuan had an idea, closed the door, entered the system, and contacted Zhang Daqian.
"Brother, what's the matter with looking for my brother?"
Zhang Daqian was enthusiastic, the two of them had two transactions, and the relationship was irreversible, originally Daqian was a person who had a wide range of friends, and he admired Xu Zhiyuan, the little brother, very much.
"Brother, I have something to ask for!"
"Please?" Zhang Daqian said unhappily: "Don't ask for words in the future!" If there is anything else to ask for between our brothers, just say it! ”
Xu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I heard that my brother's antique skills are the best in the world?" Especially the head of the imitation four monks, the bitter gourd monk Shi Tao, even Chen Banding and Huang Binhong can't see it? ”
"Hahaha, my brother is really knowledgeable!"
Zhang Daqian laughed heartily after hearing this, stroked his beard and said proudly: "Don't dare to say anything else, I, Zhang Daqian, only did one thing in the first half of my life, which is to copy Shi Tao!" I dare to say that even if the bitter gourd monk is reborn, he can't see a flaw! ”
Xu Zhiyuan nodded, it turned out that the rumors were true! There are many stories of Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao being collected by celebrities, and one of them is related to the collector Chen Banding, who was an important collector in northern China at that time and was also an authority in terms of identification.
Once he invited a friend to his home to appreciate the work of Shi Tao he had just found, when Wang Xuetao, Chen Shizeng and other famous artists were present, Zhang Daqian, who loved Shi Tao, also came uninvited when he heard the news and became an uninvited guest of the day.
After the guests arrived, Chen Banding proudly took out a collection of Shi Tao painting pages and admired them with everyone, for a while the hall was full of admiration, and Zhang Daqian laughed after reading it, Chen Banding and the guests accused Zhang Daqian of being rude, Zhang Daqian replied, I only know because of this booklet, he then said what was painted on each page of the booklet, and when he opened it, sure enough, the pages were as Zhang Daqian said, including withdrawals and seals are exactly the same as Zhang Daqian said.
Chen Banding asked Zhang Daqian, could it be that you have also collected this set of albums? Zhang Daqian replied: "Where can I afford this priceless album, I painted it!" Then Zhang Daqian picked up a pen and paper on the spot and drew a picture of Shi Tao for the guests, and everyone was impressed, but they were also quite faceless.
Huang Binhong, who is also a master of the Shanghai School, was also deceived by Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao, Huang Binhong has a painting of Shi Tao, Zhang Daqian has always wanted to borrow it, but Huang Binhong did not agree, and Zhang Daqian, who was not convinced, copied a stone Tao handscroll and put it in his teacher Zeng Nongfu.
Once Huang Binhong went to Zeng Nong's house, saw this painting, thought it was Shi Tao's real work, couldn't put it down, and decided to buy it, Zeng Nongfu asked Huang Binhong and Zhang Daqian to talk about the price. Zhang Daqian was very proud when he saw that Huang Binhong wanted to collect his imitation of Shi Tao, but he did not ask for money, but proposed to Huang Binhong to exchange this painting for the Shi Tao he borrowed from you last time, Huang Binhong immediately agreed, so Zhang Daqian exchanged his imitation Shi Tao for a real Shi Tao's work.
In this way, Zhang Daqian collected hundreds of Shi Tao's paintings and calligraphy, and he once said to his friends that the collection of Shi Tao's original works was about 500 at most.
Later generations commented that Zhang Daqian was the most diligent of all Chinese painters, and he had painted all the paintings of the ancients more than ten times. said that he plucked a single hair on his body, if he wanted to change Shi Tao, he would become Shi Tao, if he wanted to become a Bada Shanren, he would become a Bada Shanren, and if he wanted to become Tang Bohu, he would become Tang Bohu!
"Wait a minute, brother Xian!" Zhang Daqian withdrew from the system, came back with two painting scrolls after a while, and handed them to Xu Zhiyuan: "Here are two pictures of Shitao's remaining mountains and rivers, one true and one false, you can take a look!" ”
Xu Zhiyuan hurriedly opened the two paintings and couldn't help but sigh that they were exactly the same! It's not just the painter, it's the charm that comes to the face. You must know that Shi Tao was a remnant of the late Ming Dynasty, and he became a monk because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
He was full of poetry and books, talented, and originally wanted to become an official and become a pillar of talent. However, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and there was no blood to serve the country. In the end, he saw through the red dust and became a monk, so his temperament is very unique, both Confucianism and the world, and Buddhism's dust and elegance, many people have imitated it for hundreds of years, but few people can do the essence.
"Brother Xian, look, apart from the last appreciation seal, are there any flaws?"
Xu Zhiyuan unfolded all the paintings and found that there were three more appreciation seals at the end of a painting, one was Zhang Daqian's own, the second was Xie Zhiliu, the authority of the appraisal, and the third was Xu Bangda!
"Little brother admires, except for the final appreciation chapter, whether it is the technique or the charm, it is exactly the same, and I can't see any flaws!"
"Haha, in fact, I still kept a hand, look here!"
Zhang Daqian pointed to a place with a smile and explained to Xu Zhiyuan, it turned out that every time he imitated Shi Tao, he would leave a mark, which was very hidden, in order to prevent others from deceiving people, leaving a secret mark.
"I want to buy two paintings, what do you need?"
"Brother Xian just can't look down on a brother when he says this!" Zhang Daqian said angrily: "Brother Xian helped twice, the kindness Zhang Daqian is unforgettable, what are just two paintings!" ”
"You can't say that!" Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "The so-called brothers settle accounts, and I will inevitably buy your paintings in the future, or else?" I remember that Brother Daqian still likes food? ”
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is also a virtuous brother!" Zhang Daqian laughed heartily and said: "I Zhang Daqian only have two hobbies in my life, one is painting, and the other is eating!" ”
Xu Zhiyuan nodded, it seems that the information is correct, many memoirs say that Zhang Daqian is a standard foodie, and most of the money he earns is used to enjoy all kinds of food, and he has to eat all kinds of local specialties everywhere he goes, and he lives a very chic life.
"Then set the rules like this, how about I exchange three special delicacies that you have never eaten for a painting of Brother Daqian in the future?"
Zhang Daqian said righteously: "One meal for another, no matter how much it is, it won't give me face for Zhang!" ”
Xu Zhiyuan is very satisfied, can you exchange a Daqian authentic handiwork with one meal? You must know that Shi Tao is a big hit now, the most representative in the early Qing Dynasty is the four kings and four monks, and Shi Tao is the head of the four monks, there are no more than 20 authentic works auctioned in the past ten years, each of which has caused a bloody storm, and the cheapest one is more than 15 million, and 20 or 30 million is normal!
Xu Zhiyuan quit the system, thought about it, picked up the phone, said a few words, and drove out.
