The big-mouthed monkey didn't seem to know that he was being tricked by Chen Zheng, but instead gave him a sweet smile...
At this moment, the third lot came up, which was a painting. He Ren asked, "Is there an auction brochure? Are they all paintings?"
Chen Zheng laughed and said, "There is no manual, we just pick it up and shoot it. Isn't this more exciting?"
He Ren couldn't understand Chen Zheng's brain circuit, "What's exciting about this?"
Chen Zheng pointed at the big-mouthed monkey, "Isn't this exciting enough?"
He Ren secretly complained, it was so exciting. If Chen Zheng spent ten million to buy a two million painting, would he still feel excited?
"Can you retreat when you turn around? After all, you are all..."
"Don't worry, you can't retreat."
Chen Zheng waved his hand. He knew what He Ren was going to say. It was just that these people were the second generation and he thought the organizer did not dare to fool them.
"The boss here is much better than us. Who would go to someone to refund money? Isn't that asking for trouble? And the rules have been set long ago. It all depends on eyesight. Doesn't everyone bring an expert? Himself How can I have the nerve to ask someone to refund my money after I got a slap in the eye?"
He Ren curled his lips. These second-generation people are really adaptive to the bottom line. They start to abide by the rules when they meet people who are stronger than themselves?
He glanced at the big-mouthed monkey who was still smiling, and suddenly realized that the big-mouthed monkey also realized that the painting just now was not worth that much money, but did it deliberately?
Does Big Mouth Monkey know who put this painting up for auction? Take the initiative to give money to others? No wonder he made Chen Zheng suffer...
He Ren didn't know if his guess was right. He just felt that the second generation should not be so impulsive.
Xu Qingjie interrupted He Ren's random thoughts, "Who is this person in Wenbi's painting? Do you know Lao He?"
He Renke knew him so well, "It's Wen Zhengming."
"Clam?"
Seeing that Xu Qingjie was still confused, He Ren could only explain, "You are the four great talents in Jiangnan. Have you not seen Zhou Xingxing's movie? The one who is as famous as Tang Bohu."
"Holy crap! Is it him?" Xu Qingjie was shocked, and then he reminded Chen Zheng, "It's my turn this time. No matter it's true or not, you can't take action."
Chen Zheng curled his lips and said, "I know, come on."
He Ren was also refreshed. Wen Zhengming was a great master of the Ming Dynasty and was known as the "Four Ming Masters" together with Shen Zhou, Tang Yin and Qiu Ying.
He and his teacher Shen Zhou co-founded the "Wumen School of Painting" that was very prosperous for a while, but later experts and scholars believe that Shen Zhou only initiated it and carried forward the "Wumen School of Painting" and passed it down for hundreds of years. It's Wen Zhengming.
It can be seen from this that Wen Zhengming's fame and skills are naturally at the pinnacle. It stands to reason that there should be very few handed down works of this kind of master, but the reality is not like this. Wen Zhengming's handed down works are unexpectedly many.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wen Zhengming's reputation was well-deserved. Tang Bohu was the most popular painter in Suzhou. There was an endless stream of people who came to ask for paintings every day. Wen Zhengming was easy to talk to, so he could not refuse anyone who came, but he also I sold a lot of paintings.
But Wen Zhengming was an ordinary person after all, and he didn't have a lot of talent, so he definitely couldn't satisfy all the people who wanted to paint. So some people made a living by copying Wen Zhengming's paintings.
Wen Zhengming, like his teacher Shen Zhou, was very generous and had never thought about cracking down on fraud. Not only does he not crack down on counterfeiting, if someone comes to ask for verification with one of his fake paintings, Wen Zhengming will always say that it is genuine. If there is no seal of his on it, he will also put his seal on it...
A great virtuous person belongs to Yes.
Problems also arise, and many such "fake products" are passed down, making it difficult to distinguish.
"Old He, what are you thinking about? Let's see if it's authentic."
"Oh..." He Ren pulled his thoughts back and carefully observed the painting in front of him. It was an upright double-hook orchid painting about two square feet in size.
The so-called double hook generally refers to the combination of left and right or upper and lower hooks. It is usually used in meticulous flower and bird paintings, but there is no problem in painting orchids.
Wen Zhengming is the founder of the sect. In terms of painting, he is an all-rounder. He specializes in green, but he can also use ink, and he can also do some fine brushwork and freehand brushwork.
He also covers a wide range of subjects, and is particularly good at landscapes, orchids, bamboos, figures, flowers and other subjects. He is also very good at painting. For a while, He Ren couldn't tell whether it was an authentic painting or a copy...
"How is it? Do you see it?"
He Ren waved his hand to signal Xu Qingjie not to worry, and he looked at the title again.
Write a letter: "The light of the Nine Wans is turning in the wind, and the fragrance of dew falls on the heavy rocks. The Purple Palace Temple is Taiyi, and the Yao Xi recommends Qiongfang."
There is also a seal below with the words "Zheng Zhong" on it.
The poem is "Inscribed on a Painted Orchid" by Chen Lu, a poet from the Yuan Dynasty, which fits the situation. "Zhengzhong" is a character that Wen Zhengming later changed. Looking at the calligraphy, it also looks like Wen Zhengming's style.
But as I said before, Wen Zhengming was a very generous and generous person, and he also stamped the works he copied...
Xu Qingjie was a little anxious. Someone had already started bidding, "Old He, do you have any questions?"
He Ren softly told the whole story, and then reminded, "The inscription must have been written by Wen Zhengming, and the seal is also his, but the problem is that there is no author's seal or other celebrities' seals, which is a bit awkward. Good judgment.”
"If it was painted by Wen Zhengming, then this painting is still worth three to five million. If he was just out of charity, a few hundred thousand would be enough..."
Xu Qingjie was also stunned. For him, authenticity is more important than price. "Isn't there a seal of Wen Zhengming?"
He Ren Xiaoxiong spread his hands, "The whole painting just has this seal. It can be said that it is the author's seal, it can be said that it is the title written by Wen Zhengming, and then it can be stamped with a seal..."
Xu Qingjie was speechless. He hesitated for a moment, but still did not raise his sign.
The bidding at the scene was not very fierce. Everyone raised the price by 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. It seemed that the experts who were brought here also knew Wen Zhengming's old habit.
He Ren is not the only one with a good mind. People who play with antiques and novels have a good memory.
He Renze is still studying painting techniques. The technique of double hook is easy to say, it can outline a picture with just a few strokes, but it is very difficult for someone who is not a master to do it.
The painting in front of me has an air of elegance and elegance in its elegance and slenderness. The fresh and bright atmosphere is also full of vigorous and joyful interest.
Suddenly, a name jumped out of He Ren's mind, and he almost stood up.
Wen Zhengming is indeed a kind man, but usually he just stamps the stamp. This time he not only stamped the stamp, but also took the initiative to add an inscription. This move is a bit unusual.
In other words, Wen Zhengming's move was not only to let others have a living, but more likely to want the painter to sell more money. After all, with his seal and inscription, the price of the painting more than doubled. …
There is only one candidate who can make Wen Zhengming so interested and need money, and that is his good friend Qiu Ying, who is also a member of the Ming Four!
As soon as he thought about it, He Ren immediately reminded Xu Qingjie, "Mr. Xu, don't be too hasty when bidding. This painting is famous."
