An Benzhai: "Expert Li's profound knowledge and breadth of knowledge are indeed admirable. But we still have a few questions: First of all, Expert Li also agrees that this painting was created during the Republic of China, right? ”

"Yes, it's the spring of 1938, about February!"

Netizens perked up: Good guy, it is incredible to be able to extrapolate the creation time to the year, and Li Dingan is even more accurate to the month?

How did he do it?

But now I can't take care of this, and a big V then asked: "I was tasted by Mr. Jin before, and it can be determined that the silk painting is the most famous Wujiang white dragon silk in the Republic of China, does Expert Li have any doubts?" ”

Li Ding'an nodded: "Almost...... Before Zhang Daqian returned to Sichuan in 39, he always used Wujiang silk! ”

"Inks and pigments are all of the highest quality, aren't they?"

"Yes, the best purple ink, the best stone blue and cyan, as well as vermilion and ochre...... Including layout, composition, artistic conception, etc., all are excellent works......"

Halfway through speaking, Li Dingan replied, "You want to ask, how can such a painting be worth eight thousand eight?" ”

There are several thumbs-up expressions on the public screen, which means you guessed it.

Li Ding'an immediately smiled: "In fact, in modern times, the technique is more skilled than this one, the style of the works is better than this outstanding painter, such as the carp crossing the river, and the overall artistic conception and quality are even better than this one.

But in the collectibles market, thousands of dollars still abound...... But for now, let's talk about this one......

After a pause, Li Dingan pointed to the painting again: "Because this is painted by Hu Ruosi!" ”

"I rely on ......"

"By what, who is Hu Ruosi?"

"Zhang Daqian's early disciple was later expelled from the division!"

"What did he do, what does it have to do with this painting being only worth eight thousand eight?"

"Dude, really, it's a big deal......"

As soon as a few lines of information floated on the public screen, Li Ding'an's voice came out of the live broadcast room: "It is well documented, and according to the statistics of the people of Dafeng Hall, Zhang Daqian has accepted more than 110 apprentices in his life, and Hu Ruosi is the only disciple who has been expelled from the master, and the specific reason is related to this painting." ”

"But let's start from the beginning, let's talk about his father Hu Zhiqing first: at the beginning of the last century, Hu Zhiqing was already a well-known 'Shanghai Tang' calligraphy and painting dealer, and there was a special calligraphy and painting economic company 'Yiyi Pavilion'......

About 20 years ago, Zhang Daqian met Hu Zhiqing through Wu Changshuo, and since then, Hu Zhiqing has become Zhang Daqian's only economic person, and all his sold paintings must pass through Hu Zhiqing's hands. The relationship between the two also deepened, and in 1925, Zhang Daqian established Dafengtang and openly accepted apprentices, and Hu Ruosi, who was only nine years old, worshiped him......

This person, who has been nurtured since he was a child, is indeed very talented, and is deeply loved by Zhang Daqian, and almost teaches him...... Just six years of learning to paint, he has been able to 'Lin Shitao can be real", especially good at Shitao's shallow landscapes, but the style of brush and ink looks like Zhang Daqian.

So when he was sixteen years old, Zhang Daqian began to ask him to ghostwrite, specifically imitating Shi Tao: it was painted by Hu Ruosi, Zhang Daqian stamped, at most plus his autographed inscription, and then sold as Zhang Daqian's genuine handwriting, how similar is that imitation?

On the contrary, just like Xu Beihong, Chen Banding, Wu Changshuo, Pan Su, and Pan Su's lover, Zhang Boju, one of the four princes of the Republic of China, and others have all been fooled. According to statistics, from 1932 to 1938, there were more than 1,000 works written by Hu Ruosi and stamped by Zhang Daqian......

It is equivalent to Hu Ruosi painting a painting every two days, and more importantly, whether it is a famous calligrapher and painting artist or a famous collector, no one found it, until the master and apprentice broke up, and it was exposed? What kind of concept is this: about 30% of the more than 3,000 works by Zhang Daqian imitating Shi Tao that have been handed down to this day, are painted by Hu Ruosi......

Therefore, let's think about it the other way around: this painting is no longer a matter of imitation and resemblance, but is itself a ...... that he painted."

I was all floating on the public screen...... It seems that apart from these two words, netizens can no longer express their feelings.

"Meaning, this one is too!"

"No!" Li Dingan shook his head, "If it is ghostwriting, the price will not be too low: after all, there is Zhang Daqian's autographed inscription, and the seal is also a real seal, so even if it is recognized, there are still hundreds of thousands...... And this one, from beginning to end, was completed by Hu Ruosi alone, without the slightest trace of Zhang Daqian......"

In 1937, Zhang Daqian held an exhibition in Beijing, which coincided with the outbreak of the July Seven Incident. Rumor has it that he marched with the democrats and gave a speech to scold the Japanese, but was arrested by the Japanese army...... I don't know if the truth is like this, but Zhang Daqian was indeed captured by the Japanese at that time and imprisoned for more than ten months......"

"At that time, many protesting democrats were killed one after another, and Zhang Daqian has not been heard from, and over time, there are rumors that he was also killed......"

A few months later, the news reached Shanghai, and the description had noses and eyes, and everyone believed it to be true, including the disciples of Dafeng Hall, as well as the Hu family and his son. As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and Hu Zhiqing immediately started to think crookedly: to hold an exhibition of Zhang Daqian's posthumous works!

He is Zhang Daqian's economic man and Zhang Daqian's housekeeper, so there are a lot of genuine works in his hands, and these are indeed the ones that were sold at the beginning, but he didn't expect that as soon as the first one was held, and it was a rush to buy at a higher price, he was snatched up...... Hu Zhiqing looked at it, isn't this equivalent to dropping money from the sky?

Then, the father and son conspired: Hu Ruosi painted, and Hu Zhiqing sold ...... There is nothing to say about the painting technique, and the professional ghostwriting for six years is difficult for Hu Ruosi. The seals that Zhang Daqian is using are not there, and it is also difficult for Hu Zhiqing: the seals discarded by Zhang Daqian are all stored in Dafeng Hall, and there are hundreds of squares, and he is very trusted by Zhang Daqian, similar to the big housekeeper, of course, he can cover it as he wants......

If it is recognized afterwards and questioned that these seals are no longer used by Zhang Daqian, Hu Zhiqing still has a statement: Boss, see clearly, this is 'Zhang Daqian's posthumous exhibition', Master Zhang painted it a few years ago, isn't it normal to use the previous seals?

In this way, the father and son cooperate seamlessly, in an almost assembly-line creative mode...... It was not more than 100 paintings that Hu Zhiqing said afterwards, but nearly 300 paintings, which were spread over three and a half months, and Hu Ruosi painted an average of three paintings a day...... So this one is not like him, but it was painted too quickly, and the quality has seriously deteriorated......"

After a pause, Li Dingan sighed again: "But who would have thought that Zhang Daqian is alive and well?" In May 1938, Zhang Daqian returned to Shanghai, and the natural truth was revealed...... The Hu father and son had no choice but to flee in panic.

Someone will definitely ask: why run? Because it is not only Zhang Daqian who suffers, but also collectors who have bought hundreds of fakes: because everyone thinks that Zhang Daqian is dead, since it is a posthumous work, of course, if you buy one, you will have one less, so each one can be called a sky-high price, and combined with the background of the times at that time, who will be able to afford it?

Losing money is nothing, and a small life may not be guaranteed, so you can only run away, and you don't do it, the father and son also took away Zhang Daqian's most valuable collections: among them, there is the authentic work of this one, Shi Tao's "Searching for the Peaks...... Later, they were given to the Japanese, and then they were exiled to the United States, and in the 70s, they were recovered from abroad by the "National Cultural Relics Secret Acquisition Team" and finally collected in the Forbidden City......

In addition, there is Shi Tao's "Lushan Waterfall", which is now in the collection of Sumitomo Kyoto, a famous private museum in Japan. There is also a huge landscape ink painting on paper by Zhu Qi, which is now in the collection of Xiangguoji Temple in Kyoto, Japan......

There is another one, which is still the original work of Zhu Qi, "Four Birds", which is also in the collection of Sumitomo. And which of these paintings is not worth more than one billion?

As for why it came to the Japanese? Of course, the father and son took the initiative to send it in order to save their lives and seek refuge...... So you can imagine, what did this mean at the time?

is not only a deception of teachers and ancestors, a great rebellion, but also a heinous ...... To borrow a phrase with the characteristics of the times: this is self-isolation from the people...... Therefore, the impact of this incident has lasted for nearly 100 years, including now:

Just in terms of the work itself, Hu Ruosi's standard is actually quite high, otherwise he would not be able to deceive so many insiders and celebrities with the fake. And the speed of creation is extremely fast, and there are at least tens of thousands of works in the world. But to talk about the price...... Well, you can check it out for yourself......"

"Expert Li, where can I check?"

Li Dingan smiled: "Of course it's on the Internet!" ”

"When I went, it turned out to be a legal auction network, and there were several of them, and the length was not small...... The time was two years ago, and the executor was his grandson...... Haha, the starting auction is 5,000 yuan, but the auction is lost? ”

"There are, 997788, long-established collection and art auction sites...... I go, why is the price so low: the highest tens of thousands, the lowest hundreds? ”

"That's not right...... Look at his entry: "Guilin Landscape" was collected by the National Art Museum of China, "Yellow Mountain Pine Cloud Map" was collected in the JS Provincial Museum, "Evergreen Map" was displayed in the Great Hall of the People, and "Ten Thousand Pine Winds" was displayed in Zhongnanhai Ziguang Pavilion......

At the age of 15, he participated in the World Exposition held in Belgium at that time and won the gold medal...... How can such a famous artist's works not be millions or tens of millions? ”

"Isn't that? During the Republic of China, there was no record of art works winning World Expo awards...... There is also the Purple Light Pavilion, a total of 12 rooms, a total of 24 paintings and calligraphy works on display, how can there be Hu Ruosi? There are more than 600 works of modern masters on display in the Great Hall, but there is still no Hu Ruosi ......"

But this report said that the value of Hu Ruosi's works is higher than Zhang Daqian's? Forget it, I'll send it out for your own seeing: Danqing glows, master and apprentice compete at the same price, and 2006 Zhang Daqian, Hu Ruosi special auction: this auction accounting 59 works, most of them are Zhang Daqian and his master Hu Ruosi's masterpieces......

The top three are all Hu Ruosi, and the highest price is "Guilin Landscape", with a transaction price of 6 million...... Well, a certain entry says that this painting is in the collection of the National Art Museum of China...... Is it so outrageous? ”

"There are even more outrageous ...... If you look down and look at the fourth place, it turned out to be Zhang Daqian's imitation of the Song Dynasty Juran's "Clear Peak Map", and the transaction price was only 1.08 million? What are you kidding: this painting has only been sold twice: the most recent was the 2019 Guardian auction, which sold for 150 million ......

The last time was the 2008 Poly auction, which sold for 79 million ...... Let's not talk about whether there is this painting in this auction in 2006, but only that it has only been two years, and the transaction price is dozens of times different? It's not such nonsense, if it's really more than a million, the news network will have to report it......

"Haha...... and the sixth place, Li Keran's huge landscape "Fubo Stacked Cui", only 720,000? This painting is in the Jiangsu Hall of the Great Hall, when did it flow out? ”

"What's flowing out, it's still good...... If it is auctioned, it will be less than 300 million, and I will jump down from the upper floor......"

"What's flowing out, it's still good...... If it is auctioned, it will be less than 300 million, and I will jump down from the upper floor......"

There is also this report, Hu Ruosi's "Yellow Sea Pine Cloud Map", which was also auctioned in 2006 and sold for 3.6 million yuan...... In the entry, it is said that it is collected in the JS Provincial Museum? and the previous "Guilin Landscape", what is going on, is it the same work, Hu Ruosi painted many pictures? ”

"Look at the reporting unit: the former is a certain wave of finance, the latter is Shanghai Securities, and the time is August 2006...... These two have a bad reputation, as long as you give money, you let him report that he is his father's father, he will dare to ...... So why do you need to ask why: it is clear that there is capital to hype Hu Ruosi's works, but it didn't get hyped......

As for the entry, eighty percent of it was someone who received Hu Ruosi's work again and wanted to transfer it at a high price, so he built a special entry, and then searched for a bunch of specious things and copied it...... Friendly reminder, unless there is a relevant certification, anyone who wants to change this thing can change it......"

"That is, this painting is really only worth a few thousand dollars?"

"If it is Hu Ruosi's work, it is really only worth so much...... But the premise is that it is indeed the ...... painted by Hu Ruosi"

Again, it's about picking a bone out of the egg, right?

Li Dingan was just about to speak, and a very long comment popped up on the screen, and then looked at the ID, it was really familiar:

Xiang Zhiqing of the Chinese Painting Research Institute: "There is no need to fight, it is just Hu Ruosi's imitation of Shi Tao...... The inscription on the left is not seen, two of them, one is 'green hook charm, ink fragrance intoxicating.' This is an imitation of Wu Changshuo's book, but it is only a three-point image. If you compare Hu Ruosi's handwriting when he was young, there are eight points similar......

Look at the inscription again: "The Record", Wu Changshuo does have such an ivory material for his own use, which is now collected in the ZJ Provincial Museum, there are photos on the Internet, you can compare: the two are not on the same horizontal line at all, so this square seal is a temporary imitation engraving, and the carving is very urgent......

There is also an inscription: Swing a little, the next pen comes true, and the inscription is "Swallowing the Great Wilderness". It's the same, the font is Hu Ruosi's imitation of Xu Beihong's best Wei tablet, but only two points are similar, the seal is also imitated, the original author is Qi Baishi, the same, the difference is 108,000 miles......"

"Who is this?"

"Honorary President of the Academy of Chinese Painting, former Vice President of the National Academy of Painting, Vice Chairman of the Artists Association, Doctoral Supervisor of the Chinese Academy of Arts, and enjoys the special government allowance of the State Council......"

"My God, Dean Xiang was shocked? Our dean, the dean of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, is his student......"

"What is Xi'an, starting from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, but all the well-known colleges and universities that teach Chinese painting, from the dean to the professor, more than 20% are taught by him or his students......"

"Isn't it the master of Chinese painting?"

"I can't talk about it, but in the early 80s, when I first came to the Shanghai Academy of Painting as a painter, Hu Ruosi retired and returned to work, and he was also a painter. I used the same studio and the same office with him, and we worked together for about three years until he retired again, so I was familiar with the ......

It is also a coincidence that the Shanghai Painting Institute has a lot of Hu Ruosi's works, including paintings and calligraphy, as well as seals...... It just so happens that I know each other well, so I can ask someone to take some photos and send them over, and then discuss them with you and compare them......"

I'll go, this is still a fart?

Not only netizens, but also those Tibetan friends, big Vs, and experts.

Before, it could be said that he was hot-headed and was led by others, but as the same evidence was listed one after another, and there were more authoritative figures in the authority to corroborate it, no matter how unwilling he was, and then he put aside the facts, he could only put down the flag.

If you want to die again, you are asking for trouble...... Do you really think Li Ding'an made it in the mud?

Therefore, the live broadcast room once again fell into the previous "as if static" picture, and the public screen was unusually clean.

But contrary to the previous one, the number of people in the upper right corner is no longer increasing, but decreasing...... At first, it was only a few hundred, but as the silent atmosphere became more and more eerie, it was like a landslide, almost a few thousand or thousands of seconds retreated.

And click on the online fans, there are fewer and fewer with the word "V", and then take a closer look, the official accounts of those experts, collection and auction companies who were righteous and righteous before, and none of them can be found?

For a while, Li Dingan only felt that he was bored. After being stunned for a while, he sighed again: "Everyone, that's all for today, let's disperse!" ”

Meaning, that's it?

The fans who came to recruit names were a little uneasy: Li Dingan is too good to talk, and if it is not good, he should also point to the camera and ask: Come on, who dares to BB...... Oh no, who still has doubts, just come!

And some fans directly sent a private message to Li Ding'an, asking him why he didn't do this?

Li Dingan also saw it, but he smiled: it is too middle and second, and it does not fit his current personality and identity.

And what's the use?

If you want to teach people a long lesson, you have to make him feel pain, and it can't be light, like the two in front of you.

He closed the live broadcast room, put away his mobile phone, tried his best to keep a straight face, and his tone was extremely indifferent: "Jiangnan Lingyu, right, wait to collect the summons!" ”

This time, it's not "looking like I'm about to cry", but really crying...... In an instant, Jiang Lingyu was frightened and tears fell down: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......"

But before she finished speaking, Li Dingan walked out of the exhibition hall. Jiang Lingyu was in tears, but he didn't dare to chase after him.

"Sister, he won't really sue, right?"

Qian Jinyu's face was not ordinary white: "I...... How can I say that correctly? ”

With her understanding of Li Ding'an, nine out of ten is scaring people, but what if?

With Li Ding'an's fan base and the influence of this incident, let alone a real prosecution, whenever he posts a statement of accountability on the Internet, his family's business will be affected......

After a pause, she gritted her teeth: "Let's go, go back to the hotel to record a video!" ”

Jiang Lingyu wiped a handful of tears: "Why are you recording a video?" ”

"A public apology, of course...... I'll ask the old fan to intercede again, let him raise his noble hand, and let us go......"

"That's ...... Okay? ”

"How do I know?"

Li Ding'an, who hadn't gone far, couldn't help but shake his head: How will this become smarter?

Turning his mind, Zheng Wanjiu followed apologetically: "Teacher Li, I really didn't expect it to be like this......"

Li Dingan waved his hand indifferently: "I don't blame you!" ”

Strictly speaking, I still blame him for being negligent: if he couldn't shoot or broadcast live if he refused to be righteous and stern at the beginning, of course there would be no such things as follows.

Zheng Wanjiu breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a while: "What about tomorrow, is it going back to the capital?" If I go back, I'll book a ticket now! ”

"No hurry...... It's hard to come out for a trip, so let's go shopping and see more! ”

"That's right!" Zheng Wanjiu subconsciously replied, "Then where to go, do you want to make a detailed itinerary plan?" ”

"Okay...... Then go to the Shenyang Forbidden City first, and then go to collectible companies such as Anbenzhai and Shengshi Collection! ”

Anbenzai, Shengshi Collection, why are they so familiar...... Well, I'm going?

In an instant, Zheng Wanjiu's eyes widened.

Li Dingan smiled faintly: "What, can't you go?" ”

"Go, of course you can go......"

But the question is, how do you look at it, how does it all look like the rhythm of something big happening?
