Chapter 98 Old Yang's Ancient Painting

"Okay, please bring the next collection to the stage!"

When Chen Ran and Guo Hai left the restaurant, Fatty Zhang and the three were still eating, so they came later and were ranked last. Following the announcement of the hostess, Fatty Zhang came on stage. Holding a rectangular flat box in his hand, when he opened it, an ancient painting was 'revealed'.

Fatty Zhang's appearance on stage also attracted the attention of Chen Ran and Guo Hai.

It was Mr. Wang Zhiqing who identified the ancient calligraphy and painting. Chen Ran was the closest to Mr. Wang. When the fat man surnamed Zhang opened the painting, Chen Ran also took a look, but he was still a little far away, so he couldn't see it clearly. Based on his observation To me, it looks like an ancient painting, but the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is not that simple, let alone a rough look, even if you look closely with a magnifying glass, you may not be able to see anything.

The fat man surnamed Zhang heard the host ask him to introduce himself and briefly describe the origin of the collection, he said: "My surname is Zhang, and this painting was collected from a good friend of mine. After seeing it, they all said that it must be genuine, so I will trouble the experts to identify it.”

He fell behind, and the hostess asked, "How much did you charge?"

The fat man surnamed Zhang hesitated for a moment before replying, "Ninety thousand!"

"Didn't this guy just say he received [-] yuan, but now it's [-] yuan." Guo Hai whispered in Chen Ran's ear.

Chen Ran nodded. This kind of thing is normal. It is not for the experts to give him a little more estimate. Generally speaking, many guests who come to watch the treasure appraisal column come for the antiques that come to appreciate treasures. , When you meet your fancy, you can collect it after the treasure appraisal is over, and the price collected is basically based on the evaluation of experts.

And if the things brought by the treasure appraisers are identified as genuine by the experts, according to the rules of the treasure appraisal column, you can't leave before the end of the column, and you can't leave until the end of the column. Opportunity for guests who intend to make a move.

Of course, if it is identified as an imitation by the experts, then you can leave at any time.

The fat man surnamed Zhang spread out the ancient painting in front of Teacher Wang Zhiqing Wang with full expectation. Teacher Wang took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his head and said to the fat man surnamed Zhang: "This painting of yours, The style looks simple, and the shaft and padding are very ancient, but in fact, they are all old and antique. From the perspective of the painter, the brushwork of this painting is not round enough. From the subtle point of view, the technique is similar to modern painting. There are traces of craftsmanship, which means that this is just a modern handicraft made out of old, but the workmanship and brushes are not bad, I will give you an estimate of 1000 yuan."

Fatty Zhang surnamed was full of expectations, but Teacher Wang suddenly gave him such a result, as if a basin of cold water suddenly poured down from his head, it was cold from head to toe all of a sudden, and he was stunned. He said anxiously with a look of disbelief: "Mr. Wang, did you make a mistake? I bought it for 8... 20 yuan, and I asked someone to appraise it, and they all said it was genuine, worth [-] yuan. .”

Teacher Wang shook his head: "No mistake, your original "Eight Horses" was created by the famous painter Aixinjueluo Puzuo, and there is an authentic one in the museum of Dongdu. The eight horses have different shapes, some are gnawing hoofs, some are neighing, they are extremely lively, while the empty and quiet trees and rocks are drawn with rough lines to outline a bleak atmosphere. Although the eight horses on your picture of eight steeds also have eight shapes, they don't have that lively charm."

"But..." The fat man surnamed Zhang still couldn't believe it, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end, he 'touched' and looked at the ancient painting.

Sitting below, Chen Ran couldn't see clearly, so he released an energy aperture to detect the past, and the detected result, as Mr. Wang said, was indeed a modern imitation.

Guo Hai also wiped off the sweat of the fat man surnamed Zhang. He didn't feel deeply about what other appraisers said, but he felt deeply about the experience of the fat man surnamed Zhang. Thinking about it not long ago, Fatty Zhang surnamed proudly showed off, thinking that he had picked up a big leak, but when the appraisal result came out, he was just happy for nothing. He originally thought it was worth 20 yuan, but now it is 20 yuan, let alone [-] yuan His capital has also become one thousand.

It's really a thought of heaven and a thought of hell.

The experience of the fat man surnamed Zhang has completely cut off his idea of ​​learning to make antiques from Chen Ran, because he found that his 30 is really not enough for him to toss a few times, "Grandma", "Grandma", he still counts on the 30 Thousands of copies, can't be tossed away all at once.

After Mr. Wang’s explanation, when the fat man surnamed Zhang came to watch "The Picture of Eight Horses" again, he really found that what Mr. Wang said was really reasonable. Although the eight horses also have different shapes, if you look closely, they are all It feels like it lacks a "live" charm.

With such a result, the fat man surnamed Zhang could only leave the scene of treasure appraisal in dejection.

After the fat man surnamed Zhang left, the column of appraising treasures came to an end, and the last treasure appraiser came to the stage, and Chen Ran and Guo Hai were no strangers to this last appraiser, and it was astonishingly that he was the one with the surname Zhang. Lao Yang, who came with Fatty.

What Lao Yang brought was also an ancient painting.

"Mr. Wang, my surname is Yang. My ancestors opened an antique shop. However, during the Cultural Revolution, the four old things were destroyed and all those things were destroyed. This ancient painting was dug out when I cleaned up the old house. Yes, I don’t know about this either, I heard that our TV station holds such a treasure appraising program, so I will take this opportunity to ask Mr. Wang to help appraise it..." Lao Yang on the stage seemed a little stiff, and said When talking, he would 'touch' his nose and 'touch' his head from time to time, as if to show how nervous he was... As soon as he said this, Guo Hai almost wanted to vomit, although he didn't vomit. , but couldn't help scolding me in a low voice, obviously disgusted by Lao Yang's pretending.

In fact, the origin of Lao Yang's ancient painting is similar to what he said.

This ancient painting was collected by Lao Yang at a cost of 200 yuan. When he received it, the owner of this ancient painting told him so. Now he just relayed the origin of the ancient painting, but Replace the protagonist in the story with yourself.

His cautious and nervous demeanor, coupled with his little story, made most of the audience believe it was real, and they all guessed about this ancient painting that it should be the real one, like a dwarf guessed like this In the last round, he gambled on Fatty Zhang's Eight Juntu. Guo Hai listened to Fatty Zhang's conversation in the restaurant, so he bet that the Eight Juntu was genuine. As a result, Guo Hai also lost in this round of betting. , and now in this game, the dwarf directly bet that the ancient painting of Lao Yang in front of him is genuine.

But he had just bet the money, and when he heard Guo Hai's voice, he immediately asked curiously, "Brother, what's the matter? Do you know each other?"

"Ghosts know him!"

Guo Hai curled his lips contemptuously, and seeing the 100 yuan bet by the dwarf, he couldn't help laughing and jokingly said, "Brother Pig, with your eyesight, you will sometimes go astray!"

"Dahai, my god, if you call me brother pig again, I will fight for you!" Guo Hai played with the dwarf for so long, and he also knew the dwarf's name. The dwarf's surname is Zhu, and his name is Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng glared at Guo Hai, then asked with a smile: "This old man, you really know him!"

"Of course I do!" Guo Hai nodded, and happily told Zhu Feng about the scene in the restaurant: "Brother, you can't be fooled by his appearance..."

There is only the last collection left in the column of appraising treasures. Although this collection is calligraphy and painting, it is not only Mr. Wang who appraises it. type, but obviously knows a little bit about other types, so it is no problem to identify an ordinary painting and calligraphy.

The five experts looked at it in turn, and it took a little longer. Chen Ran sat down and waited, and then simply released the energy aperture to detect the past. The detection results were somewhat beyond his expectations. This calligraphy and painting is really I don't know the exact age of the ancient painting, at least now he has released an energy aperture to detect the past, although the aperture is absorbed on it, there is no response at all.

For a while, Chen Ran became interested, and released six energy apertures to detect, but there was still no reaction. This surprised him even more, and then quickly flew out another energy aperture.

Chen Ran finally released two more circles of energy, and the ancient painting finally reacted. Adding the first seven circles of energy, this ancient painting was equivalent to spending nine circles of energy on him. However, he was a little surprised It cost him nine energy apertures, but in return there were only two somewhat transparent and somewhat black apertures.

According to Chen Ran's speculation after countless experiments, generally speaking, if the number of transparent apertures consumed is greater than the number of apertures absorbed, it means that the engravers and craftsmen are very good, or very good. The more the merrier.

The same is true for the detection of calligraphy and painting by the energy aperture. The number of transparent apertures is greater than the number of absorbing apertures. If it is calligraphy, it means that the method is good; It depends on the painter's social status and artistic accomplishment. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means how famous the painter is, but no matter how famous he is, if his paintings are famous, then he himself must have profound painters and unique skills. Have a personal touch.

This is almost the same reasoning. A famous person may not be good at painting. A famous person is only famous in other aspects. But a person who is a good painter will definitely have a great reputation in art. Contemporary painters may have already trained as a painter, but they have not yet had the chance to be famous, but it was different in ancient times. As long as the painter is very good, even if they were not famous in the painter's era, they must be famous in modern times.

Although Chen Ran still doesn't know who made the painting in front of him, the painter who drew this work is undoubtedly a well-known master. In this way, this ancient painting is obviously very valuable.

Thinking about this point, Chen Ran also had to feel that Lao Yang was lucky. Based on his guess, this ancient painting must have been bought by Lao Yang. It is estimated that this ancient painting is no less than his current net worth. Of course, the net worth here includes the villa he bought with money, and even the 50 he gave Chen Ping... and Just when Chen Ran lamented that Lao Yang's luck was good, the experts on the stage also observed it. In fact, each of them did not observe for a long time. After the observation, the five whispered a few words, Teacher Wang spoke up.

I just heard Teacher Wang say: "I'm sorry to tell you that this ancient painting of yours should be a modern handicraft. Neither the shape nor the material is correct. It is completely contrived by counterfeiters. In the past dynasties of our country, there has never been a scroll with this shape. Apart from the scroll, let’s talk about the painter. It is a style of literati painting. Although judging from the style of calligraphy and painting, it seems to have some styles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but more of them are quite different. But I have to say that the painting level of this painting is very high. How about the style? Speaking of which, it’s rather unique, look, it’s quite novel, and I’ll give you an estimate of around 3000 yuan..."

After hearing the first sentence Mr. Wang said, Chen Ran was stunned!
