Chapter 650: Why Don't You Dare
On the side of the helicopter, Neil looked confused, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to really dare to come up.
"The people of the Yan country who are playing tricks! In that case, I'll just wait to see you make a fool of yourself for a while! ”
With a cold snort, Neil jumped on the plane as well.
Ning Xinran glanced at Qin Yu, and had no choice but to sit up.
The helicopter took off on the spot and flew towards the provincial capital with four people.
Below, a group of onlookers can only watch so far.
Still, when the crowd dispersed, many people were talking.
"You say, could that painting really be a fake?"
"How is that possible? Do you know what the name Anderson really means? Just the art in someone's house can open a separate museum, how can it be possible to give away a fake? ”
"Well, besides, even if it's a fake, it can't be the young man's painting, right? How old is he, how could he paint like that? ”
"In my opinion, they're just wasting their time."
Ouyang Zhuo didn't follow Lin Chen to the provincial capital, and after hearing the words of the people around him, he couldn't help but feel disdainful in his heart.
A bunch of idiots who don't know anything, can't paint like that?
If you had seen the painting of the emperor in the Kunlun Divine Palace, you would not have said such a painting!
It takes more than an hour to drive from Jiangcheng to the provincial capital, but it is only less than half an hour to take a helicopter.
Soon, Lin Chen and his entourage had arrived at the city center of the provincial city, the City Art Museum.
On the way, Neil took care of everything.
As soon as everyone got off the plane, they were greeted by someone from the art museum and led them into a studio in the art museum.
In the studio, the tools for painting have been arranged, and there are still many Europeans and Americans.
These people are the team of European and American art masters who came to the provincial capital to exchange as Neil mentioned earlier.
"Master Henry, Master Andy......"
Neil apparently knew them all, shaking hands and greeting each other.
"Mr. Neil, I heard that you bought the "Girl with Pearl Earrings" and asked us to give it an appraisal?"
"That's right, masters, I spent a lot of money to buy "The Girl with Pearl Earrings", which was originally intended to be given to my goddess Miss Qin Yu, but an idiot said that my painting was a fake! It just so happens that you are here today, so please give me an appraisal! ”
"Okay, then ask Mr. Neil to take out the painting."
Neil then put the painting on the shelf, lifted the cloth cover, and showed it to everyone.
The surrounding masters immediately stepped forward and took a closer look.
Neil thought that these people would quickly come to a conclusion and make Lin Chen look good, but he didn't want several masters to frown after observing for a while.
One of them even grabbed a magnifying glass and stared directly at the lower left corner of the canvas for several minutes.
Seeing this, Neil's eyes suddenly became a little flustered: "Everyone, what's wrong?" I bought this painting from the Morris Museum of Art for 80 million, so it can't be a fake, right? ”
The master with the magnifying glass raised his head, first looked at Neil fixedly for a few seconds, and then shook his head: "Mr. Neil, I'm sorry, I'm afraid this painting is really a fake." ”
What?!
Neil was taken aback: "Impossible! Are you mistaken? ”
Another master picked up the magnifying glass, looked at the lower left corner of the canvas, and then looked up and said: "Mr. Neil, this painting is indeed very perfect, almost comparable to the real work of Master Vermeer, but a fake is a fake, this is indeed a fake." ”
"Why? Why are you so sure? Neil shouted.
"Because in the lower left corner of this painting, there is no Vermeer's signature." Lin Chen said.
This painting was originally painted by him, and he naturally knew how his painting differed from the real thing.
Among the authentic works of Vermeer there is a secret signature hidden by Vermeer himself.
When Lin Chen was copying, he didn't draw this signature.
It's not that he didn't notice it, but Lin Chen deliberately left this flaw so that his paintings would not be regarded as genuine.
Later, Lin Chen's fake and Vermeer's original work appeared at the same time, and it was only by relying on this defect that everyone understood which one was Vermeer's real handiwork.
This matter has become an almost open secret in the Western art world, and no one can be mistaken.
That is, Neil doesn't know how to do it, plus he doesn't believe that anyone really dares to lie to himself, and he didn't ask a professional appraiser when he bought a painting, so he would fall for this kind of fool.
"Mr. Neil, this gentleman is right, this painting does not have the signature of Master Vermeer in the lower left corner, and it is indeed not genuine!"
"Yes, Vermeer has a habit of hiding his signature in his paintings, and this painting is not genuine."
Seeing everyone speak in unison, Neil was directly dumbfounded.
It turns out that I really just bought a fake?
Bastard!
Those bastards at the museum! How dare you lie to yourself! After he goes back, he must settle this account with them!
Seeing that Neil's face was full of embarrassed cold sweat, Qin Yu couldn't help but want to laugh.
But at the same time, Qin Yu's beautiful eyes looked at Lin Chen again.
Since this painting is really a fake, then this painting is really painted by Lin Chen?
How good can he be? Almost to the point of being fake?
This guy, what else is there he can't do?
"Although it is a fake, this painting is really good!"
At this time, a master suddenly sighed: "It's not because of the signature, I really almost lost my eyes." ”
"This must be a fake that used to be considered genuine, right? In the past, before Vermeer's original work was discovered, the painting was always thought to be genuine. ”
"Speaking of which, who painted this painting? It can be painted so fakely, even if it is a fake, its author must be a top master! ”
"That's right! I wonder who the author of this painting is? ”
Hearing their conversation, Neil, who was looking embarrassed, suddenly came back to his senses and felt alive.
Although he was really blind, he bought a fake painting and lost his face in front of Qin Yu.
But didn't that kid named Lin Chen say that he was the author of this painting? As long as he can expose him in public, then the face he lost in front of Qin Yu is nothing in comparison!
Thinking of this, Neil pointed to Lin Chen and said to everyone: "Everyone, don't you want to know who painted this painting?" This man said that he was the author of this painting! ”
"What? He? ”
Everyone turned their heads one after another, and when they saw Lin Chen, they immediately shook their heads, looking incredulous.
"How could he be the author?"
"That's it, how old is this kid? He can't be the author. To be able to paint such a vivid work, the author should be an international master! ”
Hearing their words, Lin Chen said indifferently: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, this painting is indeed painted by me." ”
Seeing that Lin Chen did not deny it, Neil was overjoyed in his heart.
Make your mouth hard, and see how you make a fool of yourself for a while!
"Don't worry, you have also seen that this gentleman is sure that he is the author of this painting! In that case, let's let him draw one on the spot now! ”
When the others heard this, they nodded their heads: "Good idea, draw one on the spot, and we will judge!" ”
Neil stepped forward and asked Lin Chen: "Boy, I really got you right by mistake before!" But now, it's time for you to be revealed! Now in front of everyone, draw another picture of "The Girl with Pearl Earrings"! Do you dare? ”
"Why don't you dare?" Forced to ask by Neil, Lin Chen smiled faintly, lifted the paintbrush, and made a bold move.
