Chapter 98 Idol Wu Hufan

"Ghost City picks up leaks?"

Sun Zhongzheng originally planned to leave today and go back to the Central Plains, so Sun Yuyao and Wu Tianyuan should rest assured here, just to train the young people.In the end, he saw Wu Tianyuan's mistake again, so he simply stayed and waited until the next special session was over before leaving.

"The Four Treasures of the Emperor? It's worthy of the name!"

Elder Sun touched the Ziyun Inkstone obsessively, and said with a smile, "Yuyao is worrying about what to do next? Emperor's calligraphy is arrogant, but the starting point is so high, the next one will be difficult. In the end, you got these, Yu Zhi The study room, the four treasures of the emperor!"

"Just stay here and go back after the special session is over. There's nothing going on over there. The capital is so lively, and the Xilin Printing House is still waiting for the next special session to turn around!"

"You boy!"

Sun Zhongzheng suddenly remembered something, took out an invitation letter and handed it to Wu Tianyuan, saying: "This is the invitation letter just sent by Baoli, let Zhongzheng go to their auction, this time it is a small special sale, there are four or five, mainly Calligraphy, painting and porcelain are miscellaneous, let's go to learn and see how others operate."

"Bolly?"

Wu Tianyuan was excited that he was finally able to participate in Baoli's auction, which was the top and highest level auction in China.

"This is a brochure, look at the cover, I guess you are interested!"

"Wu Hufan's picture of living in the Fuchun Mountains!"

Wu Tianyuan was taken aback. Baoli's cover this time turned out to be Master Wu Hufan imitating Huang Gongwang's painting of living in Fuchun Mountain. It was really fate. He just got Wang Hui's Fuchun yesterday, and today he met Wu Hufan again.

"Wu Hufan, your idol, don't you want to shout a few hands?"

Sun Zhongzheng has always heard that Wu Tianyuan's idol is a modern master, Mr. Wu Hufan who identified the giant eyes.One is the old family with the surname Wu, and two, Wu Hufan is indeed a once-in-a-century master.

Wu Hufan, a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu, is the grandson of Wu Dacheng.Collect Hongfu, good at identifying and writing lyrics.The landscape traces back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties from the "Four Kings" and Dong Qichang, and breaks through the barriers of the northern and southern sects. It is unique in its elegant, graceful, delicate and elegant composite painting style. is the most representative.

He was born in a famous family and was good at connoisseurship. He had Song Tuo Ou Tie Fan Si in his family collection, so his residence was called "Si Ou Tang".General collectors should ask them to identify the real ones.Especially the ancient paintings, after he glanced at them, he could distinguish the authenticity from the false.Famous calligraphy and painting appraisers Zhang Heng, Xu Bangda and Yang Renkai are his disciples.

Influenced by his family, Wu Hufan loves art. At the age of 13, he started to learn painting from the "Four Kings" and Dong Qichang, and then explored the Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.On the one hand, he carefully observes the famous relics collected by his family, and on the other hand, he travels all over the famous mountains and rivers, thus forming a unique style of art that is meticulous, plump, clear, meaningful and moist.

His calligraphy combines Mi Fu and Song Huizong Zhao Ji's "thin gold style" in one furnace, and combines his own flavor and interest to form a style of his own with individual characteristics, thus becoming the most famous calligrapher and painter in Shanghai. Family.Together with Zhao Shuru, Wu Daiqiu and Feng Chaoran, they are known as the "Four Masters of the Sea".

Together with Wu Zishen, Wu Daiqiu and Feng Chaoran, they are collectively called "Three Wu and One Feng".In the 20s, Chinese painting circles had the reputation of "Southern Wu (Hufan) and Northern Zhang" (Daqian).Among the "two and a half painters" that Daqian admired throughout his life, Wu Hufan was the first.

"This 1954 copy of Wu Hufan's imitation of Fuchun Mountain Residence is a rare masterpiece. In modern times, only he can imitate the essence of the ancients. The Fuchun Mountain Residence is still separated from the two places. The useless scroll is in the West Lake Museum, and the leftover mountain scroll is in Taipei. The Forbidden City. He has studied for many years and has seen the original, so he can imitate the scroll that appears now, so Baoli has to take it out as a heavy weapon for the cover."

Wu Tianyuan is a little passionate. He admires Mr. Wu Hufan's artistic attainments the most, and he is not an exaggeration to say that he is an idol.Today, I met the most satisfying work of the master in his life, Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains. Look at the reserve price of 4000 million, and you must grab it back!

"Tomorrow is the preview, the three of us will go together, Hu Jianmin will probably be invited, and Lao Song will also go, to see Baoli's style."

Just as Wu Tianyuan left the office, he received a call from Hu Jianmin and asked to have lunch together.It turned out that it was also about Baoli. He participated every year. He was the highest-level VIP and contributed nearly [-] million in turnover. Naturally, he was Baoli's guest.

"You want to shoot Fu Chun on the cover? Domineering!"

Hu Jianmin and Song Lao have been studying the emperor's calligraphy without leaving home for the past few days, and today they finally left the customs and asked Wu Tianyuan to come out for dinner.

"The cover grades are all heavy items, and they are the finale of the auction, and they are sold at sky-high prices every time."

Hu Jianmin analyzed with experience: "Wu Hufan's market has gradually heated up recently, and he has also auctioned tens of millions of items. However, he is still inferior to Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, and Xu Beihong, who are masters of [-] million yuan. It is not about the artistic level, but the market performance. "

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said: "I just like the masters of our old Wu family, Wu Changshuo, Wu Hufan, Wu Guanzhong, the romantic figures of the Wu family."

"It doesn't matter, I am willing to have money that is hard to buy!" Hu Jianmin laughed and said, "Anyway, you are also rich, so it doesn't matter if you just sell or not! Baoli invited you this time because of Zhenghe's potential. Hu Yan is a nice person. Known as the Iron Lady, there is no harm in communicating more."

Since Hu Jianmin said so, Wu Tianyuan is even more curious about tomorrow's preview. Every time he watches TV, the big collectors are tens of millions of treasures, and he has to experience it himself!
"Mr. Hu, you are finally here, and I am going to call you, please come in!"

In the morning of the next day, Wu Tianyuan and his group came to the VIP room of Chang'an Hotel, which was the preview site of Baoli. As soon as he entered the door, Hu Jianmin was held back by a beautiful woman.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhongzheng's Sun Lao, his granddaughter Sun Yuyao, and this is my master Song Lao. You should have heard of this kid, right?"

The beauty smiled and said: "Wu Tianyuan, the name is really popular these days. Hello, I am the person in charge of Baoli Painting and Calligraphy, Liu Yunru."

Several people were chatting and laughing, Hu Jianmin saw someone, he pulled Wu Tianyuan to say hello.

"Sister Hu, are you hiding here?"

Hu Jianmin walked up to a young woman in her early forties, laughed and said, "You owed me a good calligraphy in the last auction, are you going to pay it back today?"

When Wu Tianyuan heard this, he carefully sized up the well-maintained young woman. She was of average appearance, but with a capable temperament, she looked like a strong woman.Judging by Hu Jianmin's tone, he should be the head of Baoli, Hu Yan.

"Brother, your requirements are too high. It must be an authentic work from the Yuan Dynasty, or a famous work! You also need to give the younger sister some time to collect, right? Even if I fool anyone, I don't dare to fool you, do I?"

Hu Yan smiled heartily and resolved the embarrassment with a few words. She is indeed a battle-tested master.

"Today I'll introduce you to a younger brother, Wu Tianyuan, you should have heard of it, right?"

Hu Yan's eyes lit up, looking at the calm young man, she stretched out her hand and said, "Your thunderous brother, I sent you an invitation letter a long time ago, and today I can finally meet a real person!"

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly said politely: "Sister Hu is the heroine in our circle, my younger brother has long admired her name, today is really lucky."

"What are you talking about here?"

Bai Hua also came over, Baoli Auction must be indispensable to Wanda, a big family, the four were chatting and laughing, and saw two acquaintances after a while.

"Brother Zhai, Brother Wang, you are late!"

Zhai Jianmin was a little tired and complained: "I just rushed back from the United States, and the jet lag is still chaotic. It's really uncomfortable. Brother, those who didn't come a few days ago rushed back to help you, don't blame my brother!"

"It's okay, I'm not fine, it's just a small thing."
