Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-One Straight Male Disease Relapse
After hearing Zhang Junping's words, Liu Zhengwen was shocked, and then he solemnly clasped his fists at Zhang Junping, "Ping'er, I won't thank you for your kindness. I will remember your kindness in my heart."
The Jiguge Tea Garden Young Painters Exhibition is not something that just anyone can attend if they want to.
The minimum threshold is to win prizes in some art exhibitions or youth painting competitions.
Another thing is to get recommendations from masters.
Liu Zhengwen does not possess these two qualities, but now that Zhang Junping is willing to exhibit his paintings, this is tantamount to providing him with a way to advance.
"Damn, I'm so grateful to you, so why don't you thank me?
How about you kneel down and kowtow!" Zhang Junping teased Liu Zhengwen.
"Go away, you kid can't spit out ivory. What a good thing, but it tastes bad in your mouth." Liu Zhengwen punched Zhang Junping and scolded him with a smile.
"Hahaha, who made you so angry? Two brothers in the same generation, talking about useless things.
If I can take your paintings to an exhibition, it means your paintings are really good.
Red plums serve as evidence, and we grow old together. What a beautiful meaning?
I can tell you, no matter what the final ranking is, this painting is mine."
"The paintings are all in your hands. I want to snatch them back. Can I beat you?" Liu Zhengwen rolled his eyes.
The painting comparison was just a joke. After the painting, no one said who painted well and who painted poorly.
Everyone has something in mind, and it would be a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.
With nothing to do, Zhang Junping took out the gifts from Ma Weidu, Wang Shuo, Guan Jiaming and others.
I didn't open it yesterday to see what was given.
I just have time today, so I opened it and took a look. No matter how valuable it is, it is a favor that will be repaid in the future.
The gifts given by Ma Weidu, Wang Shuo and others were really uncreative, they were all paintings.
Zhang Junping slowly opened the scroll, and Liu Zhengwen exclaimed from the side: "It's Mr. Xu's painting, Five Horses! Ping'er, lend me this painting for a few days."
Ma Weidu sent Xu Beihong's horse, which was okay, not one horse, but a picture of five horses.
There is a very interesting thing about the horses painted by Xu Beihong and Mr. Xu. That is, the horses painted by Mr. Xu are priced according to the number of horses. In later generations, a horse is worth seven or eight million, and the eight-horse painting is amazing.
More than eighty million.
Of course, the same Eight Horses painting by Mr. Xu actually has different prices. It also depends on the size, whether it is a meticulous work, and whether there is an inscription on it.
There are also some work that others simply requested to paint, and they had to be painted for the sake of face.
This type of work has the lowest value.
"Go away, you're just learning oil painting. What kind of Chinese painting should you study? If you want to study it, go to a Beijing painting store and buy it yourself.
There are many horses painted by Mr. Xu there, whether they are standing horses, galloping horses, drinking horses, two horses, three horses, four horses, five horses, six horses, or even eight horses.
." Zhang Junping simply rejected Liu Zhengwen.
It's a rejection, but actually it's also a reminder. If Liu Zhengwen really likes Mr. Xu's paintings, and really goes to the art store to buy a few of Mr. Xu's paintings, twenty or thirty years later, any painting will be sold, and the money will be paid.
Even if you lie down with your leg broken, you won’t be able to spend all the flowers.
"Seeing how stingy you are, I just borrowed it to study Mr. Xu's painting skills.
If you don't want to borrow it, I'll buy it myself." Liu Zhengwen said contemptuously.
Liu Zhengwen, who had just earned fifty yuan in design fees, was very confident at this time.
After appreciating Mr. Xu's painting of five horses, he carefully put it away and then took out the painting given by Wang Shuo.
"Is this "Four Happiness Pictures" by Mr. Xu?" Huang Xue looked at the newly opened painting in disbelief and shouted.
What Wang Shuo sent was also a painting by Xu Beihong and Xu Lao, but instead of horses, it was a painting of four magpies, also called the Four Happiness Picture.
"Haha, yes, this is the "Four Happiness Pictures", but it is not Mr. Xu's "Four Happiness Pictures"."
"Impossible, this is definitely Mr. Xu's "Four Happiness Pictures". I have studied Mr. Xu's paintings, and this style of painting is his." Huang Xue retorted.
"Haha, Miss Huang, Mr. Xu's "Four Happiness Pictures" was painted in June 1937. Mr. Xu gave it to Zhang Qun to express his admiration for Zhang Qun's literary character when facing the Japanese powers.
meaning.
That painting should be in Tai☆☆North now, still in Zhang Qun's hands.
Therefore, this painting of "Four Happinesses" is an imitation, but the imitation is really good and captures Mr. Xu's charm."
"Then why couldn't it be Mr. Xu who painted the two "Four Happiness Pictures"?
You know, Mr. Xu painted hundreds of horses, so why can't he have two "Four Happiness Pictures"?"
"Miss Huang, what you said makes sense.
But if you look carefully at the inscription and postscript, the above inscription expresses admiration for Zhang Qun. What does this mean?"
"Zhang Qun lost his painting, and it was picked up by someone else. Then Wang Shuo bought it by chance, and then gave it to you as an opening gift."
"Hahaha!" Zhang Junping laughed out loud at Huang Xue's amusement, "Miss Huang, I am absolutely sure that if you write novels, you will definitely become a great writer.
How can there be so many coincidences? Who is Zhang Qun? He is a senior official over there and is Chiang Kai-shek's think tank. How could he lose the painting, let alone sell the painting given by his friend, so your reasoning does not hold water
.”
"Hmph, you're the only one who's good!" Huang Xue snorted and turned away from Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping's straight man's disease relapsed, and he didn't care about Huang Xue's expression at all. He continued to admire the "Four Happiness Pictures". Judging from the painting skills, it was also a work of a famous artist. Looking at the condition of the paper, it should have been imitated before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, until the end of the 1980s, no one bothered to do this. Those with such power would not fake or imitate other people's paintings.
No matter what, this is Wang Shuo's intention, and people don't know that it is fake.
The other paintings sent by Ye Jing and Hai Yan were also paintings by the big guys from CAFA, including "A Long Way to Go" by Wu Zuoren.
After reading the gifts given by Ma Weidu and others one by one, I carefully put them away.
These paintings are worthless now, but in twenty or thirty years, any one of them will be worth tens of millions.
Even the "Four Happiness Pictures" imitation of the Republic of China would still be worth a lot of money if its origin could be found.
For example, Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's pictures of ladies, even though he knew they were fake, still sold for hundreds of millions.
In the future, when they have something to do, write a calligraphy or draw a picture and give it to them as a return of this favor.
Zhang Junping thought to himself and took out the gift from Guan Jiaming.
The gift from Guan Jiaming looks like a box from the outside. When you open the outer package, you will find a lacquer box made of golden nanmu.
Not to mention the contents inside, the lacquered nanmu box with golden threads alone is worth a lot of money.
Zhang Junping admired the paint box for a while, then opened it to reveal the contents inside.
"Hui ink, Cao Sugong's ink ingots?! These Hui ink are all mine, you are not allowed to snatch them from me." Huang Xue snatched the nanmu lacquer box with revenge and said arrogantly.
"Okay, okay, it's all yours, I won't let you go together!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
