Chapter 378: A Comet Across History
This is a very special booth for the whole exhibition site, and all the works of the same famous artist are displayed.
These works are numerous, including paintings and calligraphy.
Several of them, even on display, have been marked with the word "sold".
"Mu Gan Yuan? What a strange name. ”
Ning Xinran looked at the words on the display board and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
What's the name? Sounds so weird.
But as soon as her voice fell, a middle-aged uncle next to her said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
"This wood master's name is a bit strange, but his work is priceless!"
"Is he famous?" Ning asked happily.
"Not really!" The middle-aged uncle saw that there were other people on the side who looked curious, and said a little proudly: "To tell you the truth, although the origin of this wood master is unknown and not very well known, in the collection world, this one can be compared with the calligraphy master and the holy hand in the painting!" ”
"Every piece of his work is worth a lot. For example, the calligraphy on display now has one of the calligraphy books that was bought for 95 million yesterday! ”
"And that picture of a lady, someone bought it for 130 million!"
Ning Xinran opened her mouth wide and looked surprised: "So expensive? But why had I never heard of this master's name before? ”
"yes, I didn't come here today, I didn't even know there was such a person!" Someone else shouted.
The middle-aged man smiled: "It's right if you don't know each other, to tell you the truth, this Master Mugan Yuan has only appeared in history for a short period of three years!" What you see now are the works of Master Mu Gan Yuan in those three years! ”
"Three years?"
"How can it only be three years?"
Someone wondered.
The middle-aged man shrugged: "I don't know about this, according to the records, the year when Master Mugan Yuan appeared was about 1,000 years ago, he was like a comet born out of thin air, and he suddenly caused a sensation in the upper class of the Yan Kingdom at that time." ”
"His calligraphy, his paintings, are known as the best in the world, and almost no one of his contemporaries can compare with them! Even if you look at the next 1,000 years, there may be people who can compare with him in a single item, but there are few people who can compare with him in calligraphy and painting at the same time! ”
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but exclaim: "So powerful? ”
"This must be a genius, right?"
"Master, do you continue to tell us? And then? ”
The middle-aged man said, "Later? There is no after! For some reason, three years after his appearance, the master disappeared from public view overnight, just as he did when he first appeared, leaving only his works. ”
"Because he has been around for so short, the number of works is extremely limited, and even fewer have survived thousands of years. That's why you don't know he exists! ”
"This time, it is also because a collector is in a hurry to cash out and send his collection here for exhibition and sale, so that we can see the works of Master Mugan Yuan here!"
Wow!
When the middle-aged man finished explaining, there were already many young people gathered around, and they were all the first to hear about this Master Mu Gan Yuan, and now they knew that this person was so good, and immediately many people began to be curious and walked towards the booth.
Ning Xinran also excitedly pulled Lin Chen and said, "Lin Chen! Let's check it out, too! I really didn't expect that there was such a master in the history of our Yan Kingdom! ”
Lin Chen smiled awkwardly.
After all, it will be a little embarrassing to be touted like this.
That's right, the middle-aged man who blew the magic Mu Gan Yuan just now was actually Lin Chen.
Mugan Yuan, this is actually just the pseudonym that Lin Chen used back then, he removed the left half of every word of the name Lin Xuanyuan, and the remaining words are not Mugan Yuan?
That year, Lin Chen happened to participate in a cultural competition held by the Yanguo Imperial Court.
At that time, the reigning emperor of Yanguo did not do his job, did not love the government, but preferred art, spent a lot of money, held a banquet of ten thousand flowers in the palace, spread heroic posts, and invited literati and scholars from all over the country to gather in the court, not to ask about the world, only to ask about poetry, writing and painting.
It can be said that it was a day when the country was erosive, but the literati were like heaven.
At that time, Lin Chen, out of curiosity, also participated in this feast, and then there was his blockbuster.
However, Lin Chen was tired of the days of incarnating as Mugan Yuan after three years, so on a moonlit night three years later, he gave up the emperor's reward and disappeared in front of everyone by moonlight, leaving only a legend about Mugan Yuan.
However, although he is now praised by later generations, in Lin Chen's opinion, his works at that time were actually a bit clumsy.
After all, this is the level he was at a thousand years ago.
Today, a thousand years later, his level is naturally much higher than in the past.
Therefore, when Ning Xinran wanted to pull Lin Chen over to take a look, this feeling was like going to see his kindergarten graffiti alone, and he would be a little embarrassed.
"Xinran, I'll settle the account first, just see for yourself."
Lin Chen then shook the large pile of imitations that Ning Xinran had just selected.
"Okay, then you can come here to find me in a moment, I won't go far." Ning said happily.
Lin Chen nodded and left first.
And Ning Xinran was alone, walking closer to watch.
After watching this, Ning Xinran admired this Master Mu Gan Yuan who heard it for the first time.
Because his works are really too wide, in addition to calligraphy, there are also various paintings with completely different styles.
Landscapes, flowers and birds, you name it.
But as far as Ning Xinran knows, people's energy will eventually come to an end, and most of those painting masters in ancient times were just interested in one subject, how could there be anyone like this one, any subject matter could come to a painting, and the level of each painting was so high.
Even Ning Xinran, who is not very knowledgeable about art, can see that the level of these paintings is exquisite.
Halfway through it, Ning Xinran's gaze suddenly fell on one of the paintings.
The painting has also been bought, and perhaps because the price of the sign on the side is so staggering, the number of people watching it is the most of all the works.
"I'll go! This painting costs 500 million? Damn, it's so expensive? ”
"Stupid, you don't look at the subject of this painting either? You can see the introduction on the side, but it is clearly written, this painting seems to be the only self-portrait of Master Mu Gan Yuan! ”
"What self-portrait? Isn't this just a backdrop? I can't see what this wooden ganyuan looks like at all. ”
While listening to the discussions of others, Ning Xinran's gaze froze in this painting.
This painting actually depicts a mountain scene, but on the top of the mountain in this painting, there is a person standing, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.
According to the introduction of the booth on the side, the person who only shows his back in this painting is the master of Mugan Yuan.
It's just that Yu Ning happily looks at it, why is this back so familiar?
It's like ...... Lin Chen's back?!
