Chapter 574: Picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon
At this time, Master Meng deliberately sold a pass, took another sip of tea, moistened his throat and said: "Although this painting is similar to Shi Tao's painting, there is a slight difference in technique, and the artistic conception is not consistent with Zhang Daqian's imitation painting, which is inconsistent with Shi Tao's original painting." Shi Tao's techniques are eclectic, under the wild brushstrokes of broken brushstrokes, swaying at will, and the method is born at will. However, the technique of this painting is the method of mountain and stone, with the original bouldering for it, breaking the brush and scattering the front, the pine peaks, or lifting or pressing, or wet or dry, going backwards and backwards, swaying freely, showing the broad and majestic atmosphere. Between the mountains and the trees and stones, layers of rendering, affirming yin and yang, and tying the knot between the virtual and the real. And the brush of the scene is strict and delicate, so that the picture of messy hair and rough clothes is full of ups and downs.
If my judgment is correct, this should be Mr. Fu Baoshi's imitation stone Tao landscape painting. ”
"Fu Baoshi?" the shopkeeper of the teahouse was surprised and delighted, "Although he is not as famous as Zhang Daqian, he is also a master of Chinese painting! Master Fu is an all-round talent in painting, calligraphy, literature, and printing." Among the 'four uniques', landscape painting has the highest achievement, and in landscape painting, 'rain scene' is the most charming and representative. Its rain scene is charming and unique. He used a large pen to break the edge, quickly move the pen, and swept out the rain silk diagonally, which was vast, magnificent, and very dynamic. This little brother, your luck is really good, so good that it is enviable!"
Tang Chen was stunned: "Master Fu's paintings, are they very valuable?"
Fu Baoshi's works are relatively small, whether in art theory or painting, seal carving Fu Baoshi has a high attainment, for the new Jinling School and the founder of the new landscape painting and representatives. For more than ten years, his calligraphy and painting works have also been the focus of attention in the Chinese modern and contemporary painting and calligraphy market. Some people roughly estimate that the number of Fu Baoshi's works in existence is about 3,000, far less than one-tenth of Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian's, which is one of the reasons why the market is enthusiastically chasing his works. Master Meng sighed, "In recent years, once Fu Baoshi's paintings have been auctioned, they are more than 10 million yuan. Even if it is not at the auction house, the price is more than five million ......."
The shopkeeper of the "Five Million !!" teahouse almost didn't jump, he has been a frequent visitor to the antique street over the years, but he has never found more than 10,000 yuan of good things. Now a young man who has never even officially dabbled in the antique business has found millions as soon as he makes a move, and he is faintly jealous in his heart. But his mentality quickly adjusted, after all, there are so many people who have made a fortune in this world, and if they are all jealous, wouldn't they be unhappy?
"Xiaoyou, you have to put away this painting, it's too precious...... the teahouse shopkeeper said earnestly, he has been next to the antique street for so long, he has long been used to seeing people who get rich overnight, he just sighed at Tang Chen's good luck.
Master Meng also carefully rolled up the picture scroll and solemnly handed it to Tang Chen: "Little brother is lucky, compared to little brother, Mr. Gao's painting just now has become a chicken rib." ”
"What's going on?" asked the teahouse shopkeeper curiously.
As soon as Master Meng told the matter, the shopkeeper of the teahouse said bitterly: "Tyrannical things, tyrannical things......"
After that, he staggered downstairs, and Master Meng sighed: "He can be regarded as an antique idiot, and he can't see this kind of thing...... By the way, brother, you really don't think about studying antiques? To be honest, your luck is something I have only seen in my life. In the antique industry, having eyesight is only the foundation, and there are many people with good eyesight, but they can't find a few fine products in their lifetime. Luck is the most important factor in playing antiques, and it is also the most overlooked factor. ”
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment: "Is my luck very good?" He thought about it carefully, as if his luck was really a bit against the sky. Whether you go to the antique street or feng shui street anywhere, you can always find something good. But Tang Chen didn't think that it was his luck, more often than not, he used the "Qi Lookout Technique" to determine the value of the item, which was equivalent to cheating. The only exception is this landscape painting of Fu Baoshi imitating Shi Tao, which is really just an unintentional move.
"If nothing else, this painting alone has outperformed many people who have been in the industry for many years. Master Meng said with certainty, "Even if it's me, I don't have many opportunities to see such a fine product. ”
Tang Chen was sighing at the moment that Boss Liu of "Jubao Zhai", he was really begging for food with a golden bowl. If he could have asked Master Meng for help in the appraisal earlier, wouldn't he have avoided this loss? But Tang Chen also knew that Master Meng would also have to charge for helping others to appraise. Maybe one or two pieces are not expensive, but the "antiques" in the "Jubao Zhai" are more than thousands?
Tang Chen can also see that Boss Liu's pattern is too small, and he always wants to save a little money and take a lot of money, but it backfires, and he often picks up sesame seeds and loses watermelons. It's like the peach talisman, and then the painting of Fu Baoshi in front of him, which one is not a masterpiece in the world? Fortunately, he didn't know this time, otherwise it is estimated that Boss Liu would be so angry that he would vomit blood, and at least he would have to lie in the hospital bed for a month.
And Zhou Xuanying is different, her face is now full of excitement: "Tang Chen, your luck is really good!" Xiao Nizi felt the fun of Taobao this time, and this sense of accomplishment really can't be described in ordinary words.
Tang Chen smiled: "I think being a feng shui master is much faster than playing antiques to make money." ”
Master Meng frowned and said, "Oh, there is such a thing?"
Tang Chen could hear that there was a faint unhappiness in his tone. After all, Master Meng started with antiques, and self-deprecation on weekdays is just to spice up the atmosphere, but if someone steps on your profession, will you be happy? Tang Chen also knew that he was a little reckless, and hurriedly said: "Master Meng, I mean, antiques are not common, but if I want to make magic weapons, it is very easy!
Master Meng laughed and said, "Little brother, this is not a joke, what magic weapon can be worth tens of millions?"
"Ten million is nothing, the top-level magic weapons are estimated to be hundreds of millions, billions!" Tang Chen retorted in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Master Meng, I think that people in the world believe in feng shui, but they just want to seek wealth, power, and luck. And in today's society, money is in charge, just like there is a saying in the antique industry called 'gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times', which is the truth. Whether a person can succeed or not depends on two aspects, one is to see how powerful he is, and the other is to see how rich he is. And this statue of the God of Wealth is already enough to reach the threshold of the magic weapon, and it is a good magic weapon for attracting wealth and treasure. If a feng shui master uses it properly and hangs it in a specific position, it is equivalent to placing a mountain of gold in your home. If so, how much do you think the rich people would pay for this painting?"
