Chapter 89 The Four Heroes of Tianmen
Listening to them talking from porcelain to calligraphy and painting, Tong Yao and others did not dare to show off and listened silently.
Among all the antiques and antique art categories, calligraphy and painting are the most profound and highest-standard collectibles.
There was once an example of a painting being shot at the highest price in history, and there were also examples of millions of dollars being shot and being hit.
Not to mention them, even Tong Hao and the others dare not touch calligraphy and painting at present, because this is the most time-consuming and difficult knowledge to identify the true and false, and the learning threshold is very high.
Therefore, when Tong Yao heard Chen Fengmian chatting with the shopkeeper, he heard a lot of seriousness.
"When it comes to paper, I prefer silk, especially Song silk." The shopkeeper Song smiled and his voice was long: "The silk of the Yuan Dynasty is thicker than the silk of the Song Dynasty, and is not as fine and white as Song silk. In comparison, it is still slightly inferior."
Chen Fengmian smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and his voice was slow: "The silk from the Ming Dynasty is also good, but it's just a little bit."
The two talked from silk to paper, and from paper to painting. Manager Song even completely forgot where he was and sat down and didn't want to leave.
When talking about calligraphy and paintings, Shopkeeper Song looked at Chen Fengmian with joy: "Why does Boss Shen like the Wu Sect and Songjiang Sect? Which one of the Susong Sects? Do you have any collections?"
Chen Fengmian smiled: "I like all the four Wumen families, but unfortunately I couldn't collect one."
Someone next to him couldn't understand and asked softly what the four Wumen families were.
Although their silences were not loud, they were actually noise, which affected Tong Yao's chat with Chen Fengmian and others.
She was very upset when she heard this and glanced at her: "Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, Qiu Ying, and the four masters of the Wu Sect, also known as the Four Masters of the Ming Family and the Four Masters of the Tianmen."
Although she had a bad attitude, the children were still very happy and wanted to ask questions. However, because Chen Fengmian and others were not able to speak in chat, the excitement in their eyes was almost overflowing.
Manager Song frowned slightly and pondered: "I have a little understanding of the four Wumen families... Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming, two famous scholars, are simple in official careers, poetry, calligraphy, and painting, with similar origins, painting interests, and their own expertise and characteristics... However, they are still not as good as Qiu Ying."
Chen Fengmian held the teacup and smiled at the shopkeeper: "Qiu Ying is a professional painter. He is a fellow teacher of Zhou Chen with Tang Yin. He has comprehensive skills and superb skills. He has benefited from copying famous works of his predecessors. They are different from Shen Zhou, so it is difficult to distinguish between them."
When he talked about these things, he knew them all, and everyone was stunned.
Manager Song was obviously a little surprised, with a surprise bursting in his eyes and a more real smile: "Speaking of this, there is a copycat of Qiu Ying's "Wen Ji Returns to Han Scroll". Is Boss Shen interested in viewing it?"
Chen Fengmian nodded with shame and stood up, got up and walked towards the painting cabinet on the other side.
Manager Song smiled while walking: "In 2009, the Hong Kong Changfeng Spring Auction was auctioned, but unfortunately I failed to go there, and I always thought it was shocking."
"I went there at that time, but I only took a look. I was young at that time and the focus was more on its auction price of $11.2 billion."
Chen Fengmian said lightly, but he didn't know that these words sounded so amazing to everyone.
At that time, the tickets for the auction were extremely rare, especially this finale, which was basically impossible to see with your own eyes unless it was easy.
Shopkeeper Song was slightly shocked and sighed: "This kind of experience is really rare... It's a pity that I didn't meet at that time. Alas... I regretted it for three years because I missed this auction. Later, when I was in the 12-year-old Chinese calligraphy and painting auction special session in New York, I pushed everything over. I was going to shoot "Xiyuan Elegant Collection Pictures" for my customers, but..."
A regretful smile appeared on his face and did not continue talking.
Someone couldn't help asking: "But what?"
Manager Song laughed and shook his head: "But I can't take pictures of him."
Chen Fengmian looked at him comfortably and said in a deep voice: "After all, it is an auction that breaks the world record of Qiu Ying's painting auction. The 10 rounds of bidding are indeed very difficult."
It was not just difficult, it was simply hellish. The starting price was $500 million at that time, and later it even sold a sky-high price of $9.5 billion (about 6 billion yuan).
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Song suddenly remembered Chen
The message implicit in Fengmian's words looked at Chen Fengmian in surprise: "Have you gone too?"
"Yes." Chen Fengmian smiled, very humble: "Looking from a distance, never touching it."
"..." Manager Song suddenly felt a little upset. God knew that he only saw it on the screen, and he didn't even look at the original one.
Chen Fengmian actually saw the real painting? Master Tian, his seat must be different from him...
While speaking, I had already walked to the calligraphy and painting counter.
Manager Song looked at Chen Fengmian with complicated eyes and raised his hand to take out the imitation.
Although it was a imitation, it still made everyone slightly stunned after it was unfolded.
The reason is nothing else, this silk is really too real.
The slightly yellowed silk is painted beautifully and the brushwork is elegant.
The dynamics and expressions of the characters are depicted in detail and rigorously.
Chen Fengmian looked carefully and was quite surprised: "It's really good..."
He did not reach out to touch it, but because he had a little understanding of Qiu Ying's calligraphy and painting, he could still see a slight difference from the subtle points.
But the others are different. People who were originally only watching outside slowly walked up and stared at the painting intently.
In the past, many people imitated "Wen Ji Returns to Han Long Scroll", but they only had the shape and did not have the charm. However, this imitation has 20% of Qiu Ying's charm.
“There are still…”
Manager Song led them to appreciate many calligraphy and paintings, all of which were of great importance.
Although there are many imitations, it is rare to have unique charm and exquisite paintings. It is even more pleasant to say that it is imitation.
After all, the original works are too difficult to find. Although this is a imitation, it is still very suitable to give gifts.
The value will not be too high or too low.
Now many people decided to buy a few on the spot, and Shopkeeper Song smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
Qin Qingyue sat aside with Chen Fengmian to drink tea, lowered her voice and asked him: "Do you want to buy one?"
"No." Chen Fengmian slowly drank tea, stretching his eyebrows: "It's boring to go to the business of rushing to buy and sell."
Manager Song was busy, and Chen Fengmian didn't bother him.
Except for the occasional gathering of eyes and nodding and smiling at each other, Chen Fengmian did not look around again.
On this day, Rongshengtang's business was good, especially the imitation calligraphy and paintings sold a lot, which was a good start.
I thought I would be getting along with each other in peace, but I didn’t expect that some new products were available on Rongshengtang the next day.
Tong Hao couldn't help but listened and encouraged Tong Yao to go and take a look.
This time, Tong Yao did not refuse, and ran around quickly, and came back and stopped talking: "They removed all the things on the first floor, and added a lot of them on the second floor... I feel like it was based on the goods on Zhenpinzhai."
