Chapter 1556 Mr. Zhou doesn’t deserve to earn this money

"The resources in the inland are great." Mao Yunsong was extremely envious: "Mr. Shanzi is very good at painting tigers, but he is much better at painting roe apes, and Mr. Zhou is no less good." Your collection of "Tall Trees Listening to the Stream" "Picture", is it the one painted by Mr. Daqian? "

"Yes, but the picture is small. The picture is of branches and roe apes. It is different from the vast mountains, ravines, pines, waves and sea of ​​clouds, so it can only be regarded as a small splash of color." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "This is an addiction that has not been solved. , but the hook became even stronger.”

"I think Mr. Zhou can quench his thirst this time." Mao Yunsong was amused by Zhou Zhi's words: "Just now Mr. Zhou said that Mr. Shanzi's "Huangshan Tour" is also a clue, because this creation is very exquisite, and at the same time it is related to Daqian. The number of pages in Mr. Daqian's album is the same, and the format is also the same. Can this prove that Mr. Daqian's paintings were not drafts, but were made by brothers? "

"No, it's the tail of Mr. Shanzi's scroll, and there is a tail written by Mr. Daqian," Zhou Zhi said: "The tail is a poem - Su Weng is good at Lushan. I like Huangshan, which is different. Twelve The new makeup is applied, and my brother appears again."

"Really?!" Mao Junsong was overjoyed: "The word 'chu' is used well! It means that Mr. Daqian's twelve pages were completed not long before Mr. Shanzi's scroll!"

After a pause, Mao Junsong suddenly asked: "I wonder if it is possible for Mr. Zhou to cut off his love?"

"Uh...Ms. Mao, I'm here to buy paintings..." Zhou Zhi said with a lawsuit on his forehead: "Is the paper appraisal still needed?"

"Of course it is necessary." Mao Yunsong said, "Now I am more confident."

While they were talking, Li Qiyan also arrived, accompanied by Cai Nan and a middle-aged man with a short white beard and meticulously combed hair.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Cai." Zhou Zhi quickly greeted several big shots: "Mr. Luo, I have admired you for a long time."

"We haven't seen each other for a year, and my temperament seems to be more refined again." Li Qiyan looked Zhou Zhi up and down: "We are very happy to hear Wan Qiu come back and talk about the many great things your foundation has done."

"There is also a large Chinese character library, which can be said to be of immeasurable merit." Cai Nan made a cohesive gesture: "At least my book only needs one edition now. Your Clover document editor, Traditional The simple one-click conversion function is also worthy of praise! ”

"Cai Gong is still writing, but I feel ashamed in comparison."

"Didn't you also perform well in the script?" Cai Nan joked with Zhou Zhi: "Jesse can prove this, right?"

Jesse Cheng responded: "Yes, I came here this time to give the major shareholders a share of the box office, but they started chatting first and I couldn't even get in the middle of the conversation."

Everyone laughed. After everyone took their seats, Luo Zhongrong asked Mao Yunsong, "How was the talk?"

Mao Junsong said: "We also had some unexpected gains from talking with Mr. Zhou. Not only did he agree to help us identify the paper used for "Travel to the Yellow Mountains", but he also provided a clue, which was his collection of "Panorama of Huangshan Mountain" by Mr. Shanzi. "The size and quantity are the same as Mr. Daqian's. It should be a harmonious work of the two brothers."

"The quality of Mr. Shanzi's scroll is extremely fine, as evidenced by the poems and titles of the first-rate famous writers at that time." Mao Junsong said: "Therefore, we can infer that the painting of Peihe is like this, which shows that Mr. Daqian's painting is impossible. It's a so-called 'draft', as the precision of the pages of "Travel to the Yellow Mountains" proves."

"The most important thing is that there is a poem by Mr. Daqian at the end of Mr. Shanzi's "Panorama of Huangshan Mountain", which can prove that the twelve pages of Huangshan Tour were written later."

As he spoke, he explained the poem and its meaning.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh at the coincidence of things. Now it was not Zhou Zhi who was seeking help from Luo Zhongrong, but Luo Zhongrong who was also seeking help from Zhou Zhi. As for Zhou Zhi lying, there is no need to consider it. Just say that Zhou Zhi is Li Qiyan's junior here and is a partner with Lin Wanqiu, so he has enough endorsement.

And he himself has done a lot of things that prove his character, especially the statue of the Three Saints of Huayan in the Northern Qi Dynasty that he recently sent to the National Museum. For those who cherish antiques, they have secretly thought about one thing in their hearts - If it were me at that time and place, would I be able to do it?

Even Lin Wanqiu lamented that her mentality was not as good as hers.

The value of Zhang Shanzi's paintings is certainly not as valuable as Zhang Daqian's, but according to Mao Junsong's explanation, the poems written by famous artists before and after the scrolls are also quite impressive. For example, the small poems and inscriptions by Zhang Daqian, Wu Hufan and others cost tens of thousands to tens of thousands per piece on Hong Kong Island. Tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

After pondering for a while, Luo Zhongrong said: "I heard from Mr. Mao that Zhou Sheng, you want to find a picture of the deer ape by Mr. Shanzi? Do you think this will work? I now have in my hand a picture of "Ape Playing with a Crane" by Mr. Shanzi. It's a six-foot-long hall with superb writing skills. It has eight or nine points of Yi Yuanji's skill. I want to exchange it with Zhou Sheng. What do you think?"

There is no doubt that Jiemeilou's collection represents the top quality of calligraphy and painting collections in the 20th century. Zhang Shanzi's "Ape Playing with Cranes" is his representative work and has been exhibited in exhibitions and published albums many times. Zhou Zhi is also there. I have seen pictures and introductions in pictorials, so I naturally know what level it is.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Mr. Luo is really a big business man. The price offered is really hard for me to refuse. Then I will call Mr. Ma soon and ask him to send the painting."

This was agreement. Luo Zhongrong couldn't help but be overjoyed. In his heart, he was already planning to have a joint exhibition between Zhang Daqian and Zhang Shanzi to slap the researcher on Taiwan in the face.

Mainly due to the vigorous advocacy of Mr. Deli and Mr. Wang, Mr. Yuan, and Mr. Qi in the past few years, Zhou Zhi can actually be regarded as one of the great collectors of calligraphy and painting in the 20th century. However, he himself does not actually value those paintings very much, so they are mainly stored in the capital. In Demian Hall.

If we include Li Keran's "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains", Wu Guanzhong's "Lion Grove", Jiang Zhaohe's "Return to Hometown", "Second Brother Leaving Sichuan", Xu Beihong's "Nine Prefectures of Nothing and Happy Farming", plus the hundreds of works of the Republic of China obtained from Sui Huaxuan In calligraphy works, De Mian Tang’s strength should not be underestimated.

However, many things are still hidden and have not been announced to the outside world, so outsiders cannot know.

Taking advantage of Luo Zhongrong's happiness, Zhou Zhi added: "As for Mr. Daqian's "Yellow Mountain Tour" album, I can authenticate the paper, so it is my obligation. However, it only represents my personal opinion and is for reference only. No appraisal certificate will be issued."

"Because I am Hanhai's appraiser, and I am appraising in my personal capacity. If something goes wrong, it will be a minor matter that affects me, but it is not appropriate to affect Hanhai's reputation."

"There is no problem with this." Mao Yunsong said with a smile: "It is reasonable. We completely agree."

After speaking, he added: "Mr. Zhou is so considerate at such a young age, which makes us feel more at ease."

Seeing that Luo Zhongrong and others were a little confused about what was going on, Mao Yunsong explained to everyone: "Private appraisals are endorsed by personal reputation. Of course, Zhou Sheng does not need to take such a big risk for this small matter."

"However, as the country's leading appraiser of ancient calligraphy and painting materials, his opinion is very important. If Mr. Zhou's appraisal is true, we can continue to invite famous experts to appraise it, issue opinions, and even hold a press conference."

"Of course, price is another story."

The implication is actually obvious, Mr. Xiao Zhou doesn't deserve to earn this kind of money.
