My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 73 Flattering on the Horse's Leg

The skin and eggs are like a membrane, hard and clean as jade, thin and smooth.This is Zhao Zejun's evaluation of Chengxintang Paper.

He told everyone that the reason why such good paper appeared was that Li Yu, the most elegant king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, thought that the famous Shu Jian could not be preserved for a long time, and then ordered a special one.

In order to make the finished product in his mind, he spared no expense to select domestic masters, gathered in the capital, and opened paper workshops.In order to make good paper, he went to the temple to observe every day, even took off his yellow robe and put on paperwork clothes, and fished and baked paper with them.Every time he made a batch, he tried to write it himself, pondered over and over again, in order to improve it.

The emperor made a move, which is naturally extraordinary, and the paper made immediately became a treasure in Xuan paper.

Because it was made in the main hall of Chengxintang, it was named Chengxintang paper.As an imperial article, Chengxintang paper has never been released.It wasn't until the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty that all the items in the palace were moved to the palace of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin didn't like this kind of paper, so it was able to be handed down.

Although the Chengxintang Paper was published and amazed the world, after all, it is rare and hard to find.

Liu Chang, the prefect of Yangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, once got a hundred pieces of Chengxintang paper, and wrote excitedly: "At that time, one piece was sold for a hundred gold, and there were tens of thousands of scrolls in Chengxintang." He also gave 10 pieces to his friend Ouyang Xiu. Where can I find this paper? There are hundreds of pure, hard and greasy paper." Although he only had 10 sheets, he still gave two to Mei Yaochen, and Mei Yaochen also sighed: "The Li family in the south of the Yangtze River has a national day, and a hundred gold is not allowed. One in the city."

One can imagine how precious Chengxintang paper is.Dong Qichang, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, also sighed with emotion when he got Chengxintang paper, "I dare not write on this paper".

As for the Qing Dynasty, all the emperors wanted the famous paper of Shanzhai.

"This kind of paper was extremely precious in ancient times, and it is even more rare to keep it today. Xiao Fang, are you sure you want to use this kind of paper?" Zhao Zejun asked.

Fang Xing didn't care too much, the system rewarded a lot for this kind of paper.

"Really? I'll give Mr. Zhao some later."

As soon as these words came out, both Liu Shijun and others, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, all rolled their eyes wildly.

Hearing this, he knew that Fang Xing's family still had a lot of such precious ancient famous papers, and he didn't care about wasting a few.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao said a lot just now, explaining how precious this kind of paper is.

Zhao Zejun's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he was in a good mood: "That's a good relationship, that's a good relationship!"

Even a master of traditional Chinese painting like Mr. Zhao admires this kind of paper so much. As you can imagine, Chengxintang paper is indeed not simple, and its existence may be very small.

"Brother Fang was pk sculpting with someone last time, and now he is pk painting. I don't know what the next time will be."

"I can only say that the boss is worthy of being a boss, and he is versatile!"

"Obviously you can rely on your ancestors to eat and wait to die, but rely on talent, can you still make people live?"

"Uncle, I don't want to work hard anymore."

"The uncle who picks his feet upstairs gets fucked."

……

Contrary to Fang Xing's painting style, Zhao Zejun draws very slowly and meticulously. For a small detail, he may stop for a few minutes, striving to draw the most delicate.

This attitude, no one blames.

As for Fang Xing, a lot of things were done in one go, very smooth.

This made Fang Xing complete a painting in less than half an hour.And Zhao Zejun painted for more than an hour, and it took almost two hours to finish the painting.

What Fang Xing drew was a landscape painting, which is what Tang Yin is best at.

And Zhao Zejun, in his pastoral paintings, there are six kinds of animals: horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens.

This painting was also named "The Prosperity of Six Animals" by Zhao Zejun.

"Senior Zhao, your idyllic painting is extraordinary, I'm willing to bow down to you." Fang Xing smiled and clasped his fists.

Zhao Zejun immediately scolded with a smile: "Speaking of freehand brushwork, landscape painting must be higher, would you praise others?"

Seeing Fang Xing touching his nose in embarrassment, everyone couldn't help but roar with laughter: the horse's leg was flattered.

Now comes the most important part of valuation.

What Fang Xing copied this time is Tang Bohu's "Returning to Thinking on a Donkey", which measures 77.7 centimeters in length and 37.5 centimeters in width.

In the painting, the mountain flowers are blooming, the mountains are piled up, and the scenery of flowing springs and streams is broken.The winding path connects the Linliu Dangerous Bridge and the thatched huts in the valley. There are woodcutters crossing the bridge with their salaries and scholars returning home on donkeys, showing the literati's seclusion.

This picture is skillful in painting. Both the stone and the tree trunk are centered with a wet brush, and the big ax is turned into a long strip with water. It is delicate and meticulous, and it can be freely swayed.

Zhao Zejun admired it for a while, then nodded slightly: "It's more than [-]% as good as Tang Bohu's. It's amazing. It's unheard of to be able to learn as much as you by self-study."

"Mr. Zhao, do you have an estimate for this painting?" Liu Shijun said.

Zhao Zejun pondered for a while, then said: "Xiao Fang's reputation is not very big, this will seriously affect the price of this painting, about 150 million!"

He said that if Fang Xing's fame in the painting world was as great as his, this painting would be worth a million bucks.

This is about ten times worse, and the audience in the live broadcast room is speechless.It seems that fame is really important.If you are not famous, no matter how good your painting is, no matter how excellent it is, the price will not be too high.

Some people couldn't help but wonder, is this selling paintings or fame?

"Hehe! Don't be dissatisfied, whether it is the calligraphy circle or the painting circle, they are all the same. In the past, no one cared about Van Gogh's works, but after he became famous, his paintings set records again and again." Zhao Zejun laughed.

He does not have much objection to this situation. For a painter, fame is actually built up by his works.

Therefore, in the final analysis, it is still the work that speaks.

Of course, there must be hype and other factors in it.Some paintings themselves are not very good, but with capital operation, they become masterpieces in one fell swoop.This situation is what they hate the most.

You can hype, but you can't hype without a bottom line.

"Whoever wins this painting can sell it to me for 150 million yuan. Of course, you can also collect it yourself first. When Xiaofang becomes more famous, the price will naturally rise. To be honest, selling it now is a bit of a disadvantage. His There is a lot of room for the appreciation of paintings. If money is not very tight, I don’t recommend that you change hands immediately.” Zhao Zejun advised.

Everyone reacted.

yes!Fang Xing's reputation is not very high now, but will he be far away from being famous in the painting world?
For Fang Xing, there is indeed a lot of room for appreciation in the future.

Those two paintings that were sold earlier were a huge loss!

For a while, many people began to think that as long as they drew this painting, they must keep it first, and wait for the big guy to become famous in the painting world, and then take it out.
