"Trust me, I can fix this."

Grabbing Ning Xinran's hand, Lin Chen said softly.

His words instantly warmed Ning Xinran's heart, and a flustered heart settled down.

It turns out that her husband has become so reassuring?

"Lin Chen, are you sure?" She asked.

"Of course, it's just that I'm sorry for you, you need to wait here, I'll go outside to find some materials and tools, and I'll be back soon." Lin Chen said.

Ning nodded happily: "Then I'll wait for you here." ”

Ning Xinran's trust made the corners of Lin Chen's mouth slightly raised.

"That's okay, right? My wife will be waiting for me here, I'll clean up the painting and I'll be back shortly! ”

The exhibition manager thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, but you move quickly, otherwise I won't be able to explain when the owner of the painting comes!" ”

Lin Chen nodded happily at Ning, and then walked outside.

Seeing that he was really gone, Ning Lizhi couldn't help but sneer: "Ning Xinran, do you really believe that your waste husband went to clean up the paintings?" In my opinion, he probably left you and ran away by himself! ”

Ning Xinran looked firm, and said without the slightest hesitation: "No, Lin Chen will come back!" ”

Ning Lizhi rolled her eyes, she didn't believe that Lin Chen's waste could really clean the stains on that painting, but it was okay like this, when Lin Chen didn't come back, she would be able to mock Ning Xinran again!

Thinking of this, the corners of Ning Lizhi's mouth couldn't help but rise.

In this way, everyone began to wait for the return of Lin Chen.

On the other side, after leaving the exhibition, Lin Chen went straight to the street and began to inquire if there was a store specializing in imitation paintings.

In fact, the manager of the exhibition was right, this self-portrait painted by Lin Chen thousands of years ago is indeed hopeless.

Originally, the painting was an antique, the canvas and the paint on it had been fragile for thousands of years, and the sugar and liquid on the drink had caused irreversible damage to the painting.

Even if it is Lin Chen, it is actually impossible to clean and tidy up the canvas.

However, what Lin Chen said just now was not a lie, or an excuse to get out of the scene.

He really had a way to get a picture back as good as new.

In his opinion, since it can't be cleaned, why not paint it again?

Who made this painting was originally painted by Lin Chen.

This method, I'm afraid that even if I look all over the world, only Lin Chen can do it.

However, of course, it is impossible to get away with painting a "self-portrait of Master Wood" directly, even if Lin Chen is exactly the same as the original painting, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just an imitation, and the real "Self-portrait of Master Wood" cannot be equated in value at all.

So Lin Chen's plan is to paint a fake!

A fake that is more real than the real thing!

If you have been to a place like the antique street, you will definitely know that wherever you sell antique relics, there will be counterfeiting.

Fake antiques, fake cultural relics, fake calligraphy and paintings, as long as they can make money, those counterfeiters will make counterfeits.

And in order to deceive those customers and experts, the counterfeiting methods in the hands of these counterfeiters are also diverse and ever-changing.

Some of the top counterfeiters are able to restore ancient craftsmanship and materials almost completely.

What Lin Chen is looking for now is a counterfeiter who can provide him with canvases and paints for his ancient paintings.

Such a businessman is naturally not easy to find.

But for Lin Chen, it's not a problem.

With the experience in his mind, Lin Chen quickly found a seemingly ordinary calligraphy and painting shop.

The shops sell some ancient paintings that are not very old, that is, one or two hundred years ago.

Most of these ancient paintings are not masterpieces, most of them are not famous, or only in the northwest of the provincial capital generation of a little well-known ancient works, the price is not high, most of them are only between tens of thousands, and few break 100,000.

But perhaps because of the low price, there are still a lot of customers who come here to buy calligraphy and paintings.

For these guests, they can't afford to spend tens of millions of calligraphy and paintings, and it makes no sense to take out too cheap imitations to give away or collect, so it is better to buy some low-priced ancient paintings, at least a kind of collection.

However, these customers may not know that the so-called ancient paintings in this store are actually fake.

It's just that the production process of these paintings is very high, and without professional equipment, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

However, although these fake paintings are clever, they can't hide Lin Chen's eyes.

After looking around, he knew that this store was exactly what he was looking for!

So, Lin Chen directly approached the owner of the shop and made a request, hoping to borrow the studio where they painted.

"This gentleman, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, right? We are a serious painting shop here, where is there a studio for fake paintings? If you're here to make trouble, please forgive me for not accompanying you! ”

The shopkeeper's surname is Wang, and after hearing Lin Chen's words, he directly put on a straight face and wanted to send off customers.

But Lin Chen's next sentence made him change his mind immediately.

"A million, or I'll go and tell the guests outside, these paintings are fakes, although some people may not believe it, but I believe that at least half of the guests will reconsider, what will you choose?"

"A million? What exactly are you going to do? Boss Wang asked.

"I need to borrow your tools and materials to make a fake," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Boss Wang also smiled: "It turned out to be a peer, sir, you just said no!" ”

He smiled and patted Lin Chen's shoulder, but the one million was the same.

After the money was transferred from Lin Chen's bank card, Boss Wang took Lin Chen directly to the second floor of the store, which was their counterfeiting room.

When the two of them went upstairs, there was a young man working in the room.

This young man's name is Xiao Liu, is a high-achieving student found by Boss Wang from the Fine Arts Department of Yanwu University, he is very talented in ancient paintings, but he is distressed because of his skills, after the two met, they hit it off, Boss Wang paid for it, Xiao Liu contributed his efforts, and the two of them opened this shop together, specializing in selling fake paintings.

Seeing that Boss Wang actually brought someone here, Xiao Liu's face immediately changed: "Lao Wang, why did you bring someone here?" ”

"Don't be nervous." Boss Wang explained: "This gentleman is your colleague, and he wants to borrow something from us to paint a picture." ”

"Peers?" Xiao Liu looked suspicious and asked, "What dynasty do you want to paint?" ”

Lin Chen looked at the tools on the scene and smiled with satisfaction.

Sure enough, there are a lot of materials here, including canvases for imitation, as well as handmade paints based on ancient painting pigment recipes.

It can be said that these materials alone are actually similar to ancient things, and if the skills are up to standard, they can almost imitate ancient paintings to the point that they are ninety percent similar.

"What I want to paint is a self-portrait of Mu Gan Yuan." Lin Chen replied.

"Mu Gan Yuan?! Isn't that a thousand-year-old master? ”

Xiao Liu exclaimed, a little incredulous: "That's a legendary master from a thousand years ago!" Do you want to paint his fake? ”

"That's right." Lin Chen picked up a canvas, put it on the easel, and then moved his muscles.

Xiao Liu immediately felt a little funny.

Mugan Yuan, that is the brightest comet in the cultural history of Yanguo, calligraphy and painting are unique!

The realm of his works is extremely high, not to mention him, even if you look at the top masters of the current Yanguo painters, I dare to say that they can imitate the essence of his paintings, I am afraid that there is no one.

This man who came out of nowhere, but said he wanted to paint his fake?

Don't you think, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog?

Amusing!

It's ridiculous!

However, in his sneering eyes, Lin Chen really began to draw.
