Chapter five hundred and ninety eight.
Wan Jianhao doesn't like drinking coffee, so every time he goes out, he asks people around him to help prepare tea. He doesn't care much about drinking tea, unlike some rich people who like to show off their face, either the best Longjing or the precious Tieguanyin. He drinks tea at a bargain on the street. He drinks those good teas unless he invites friends or discusses business.
I heard that this was a habit left by him when he was in the army. When he was in the army, he stood guard and had to stay up late, so he drank strong tea to boost his spirits. In that era, any good tea could be found in the army, which was similar to the new tea on the market. Therefore, he only had one requirement for drinking tea, as long as it was "strong" enough.
If you think Wan Jianhao is so simple to drink tea, it would be wrong.
Yes, the rich man had no requirements for tea, but he was very picky about tea. Because when he was in the army, he happened to be in the Qinghai border area. Qinghai's Kunlun Mountain is known as the place on the edge of the sky, with the most primitive environment and no pollution at all. The Kunlun Mountain Spring Water there can be said to be the best spring in the country.
Because he was used to drinking the mineral spring water from Kunlun Mountain, Wan Jianhao was very uncomfortable with drinking the water here after returning to the capital. After becoming famous, he specially arranged a plane to transport this spring water directly from Kunlun Mountain to him.
Therefore, the tea that Wan Jianhao drank might be very ordinary, but the water used to make tea is extremely expensive mountain spring water-a bucket of water is enough to be a monthly salary of an ordinary worker in Beijing.
At this moment, Wan Jianhao was drinking tea with Tan Jinfu while talking about the pre-exhibited auction items. The general manager of Bohai Auction Company was also serving him carefully. Although Bohai is very big and has strong strength, the millionaires can buy it every minute and every second.
Suddenly, Wan Jianhao seemed to be interested in a preview painting and gave some advice on the work.
Tan Jinfu didn't know what he said to him, and then Wan Jianhao burst into laughter.
People around him also laughed. As for those competitors, they directly wrote down the name of the work on their small notebook. As the key object in the competition, do you think, can the works that are attracted by the millionaires and Tan Jinfu be bad?
The three big men of Pan Jiayuan also tried their best and stretched their heads to see the work. However, it was a calligraphy and painting by Wen Zhengming, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, called "The Picture of Spring Trees after the Rain".
Since everyone is a collector and a player, he is more or less familiar with Wen Zhengming. Even if he doesn't talk about this, he knows the style of this great literary talent in many novels and films. For example, in Stephen Chow's "Tang Bohu's Flavor of Autumn", he is one of the four great talents in Jiangnan who is as famous as Tang Bohu. In addition, there is the old-fashioned scholar played by Lin Jiadong in the Hong Kong TVB TV series "The Four Great Talents in Gold Suit".
In fact, as a master of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty, Wen Zhengming learned various arts since childhood. According to legend, when Wu Kuan was mourning his father and stayed in his hometown of Suzhou, Wen Zhengming learned classical art from him nearby. This happened when he was nine years old, 1478 years old. Ten years later, in 1488, he learned calligraphy with Li Yingzhen. At the next year, 1488, he learned painting through Shen Zhou's copy. He learned various styles of painting. On the one hand, Wen Zhengming absorbed and understood, and on the other hand, he created his own methods. Until he became a school, his basic concept of painting was to not boast about the "skill" of using the brush. At first glance, it was the place where he truly hidden his value. Therefore, Wen Zhengming was hailed as a master in the painting world in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, all the appraisers hired as staff members couldn't help but want to show their knowledge in front of their employers in order to demonstrate their "gold content".
Lin Yi couldn't help laughing and silent after listening.
Seeing that other appraisers actively discovered that Lin Yi did not speak out, but the three big men of Pan Jiayuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Yes, they trust Lin Yi and the others very much. If they don’t trust him, they will not take the initiative to hire him as the appraisal consultant for this auction. But deep down, the three of them were still a little worried about Lin Yi. After all, they knew that Lin Yi’s rumors were heard and had never seen them with their own eyes, so they still had some doubts about Lin Yi’s strength.
Among the three shopkeeper Bai, Da Jinya and Mandarin, Mandarin is more arrogant. Even if he is not sure about Lin Yi's strength, he will not say it on his own initiative. Da Jinya is more philanthropist and wants to ask Lin Yi directly, but is thinking about how to speak. As for Manager Bai, he is much more slick. Instead, he smacks his lips and says: "Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and paintings are also treasures, but I am afraid that I can't suppress his coffin board, and he will jump out of it." After saying this, he looked at Lin Yi and said, "What do you think?"
This sentence is learned.
First, he completely denied and despised the appraisers' views and opinions on this "Rain and Spring Tree Picture", and then he threw this thunder to Lin Yi and asked him to say one, two, three.
Who is Lin Yi? Of course, he understands the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, but he didn't care much and commented casually: "Many people respectfully call Wen Zhengming the master of the painting world in the Ming Dynasty, but they don't know that he learned from Shen Zhou, and Shen Zhou learned from him that he could teach the only 'inspiration craftsman' in painting. The so-called 'inspiration craftsman' refers to the ability to construct the scenes of calligraphy and painting. In my opinion, Shen Zhou's later work "Falling Flowers Picture" can almost be compared with Wen Zhengming's early work "The Rain and Spring Tree Picture". Although the two works have great differences in form, brushwork and theme, the two belong to green landscapes, and their basic composition is almost the same."
"I wonder if the three people noticed that this is more obvious in Wen Zhengming's angle of the hillside. Looking at the foreground, we can see the basic shapes of the two: the top of the slope becomes a flat hill, showing endless plainness and tranquility; the stones are formed into band-like distributions. These are all intercombined with colors: the upper part of the hill is light green, and the sides are painted with warm yellow-brown, and the stones are either cyan or cyan. Although each shape is independent, they are tightly tied to each other.
Co-written. Using these two ‘images’, Wen Zhengming designed a series of ‘regional pictures’ in his paintings. This ‘regional picture’ folds from right to left, from left to top, and then from right to finally reach the top. In this part, with the gray mountains on both sides, it becomes the core of the whole picture; at the same time, the mountains with flat tops have become farther away, and the shape changes are also seen. The suppression of the white space part makes the skills used based on these two themes more affirmed."
"From the composition point of view, Shen Zhou's treatment of form and space in "Falling Flowers Picture". The hills drawn with smooth and clear outlines are drawn with graphic rocks and cliff-like figures. This picture is completed. The rocks and earth slopes are blue and green. It can be said that this painting is almost exactly the same as Wen Zhengming's painting. The craftsmanship is so ingenious and the painting is integrated. This is what Wen Zhengming learned from Shen Zhou. So if Wen Zhengming's painting is good, it would be better to say that the artists passed down to him by Shen Zhou were used by him."
After Lin Yi said this, he stopped talking.
The three big men of Pan Jiayuan were stunned and looked at Lin Yi foolishly, as if they were watching some rare monster.
They don’t know much about the professional terms and nouns that Lin Yi said, but they know one thing very well, and Lin Yi said everything right.
Why? Because next to Wen Zhengming's "Picture of Spring Trees after Rain", the preview of Shen Zhou's work "Picture of Falling Flowers"!
The previewer is not a fool, and he will not put the two works together for no reason. However, none of the appraisers just now connected the two works together, only Lin Yi, he did it!
The appraisers were eager to express themselves in front of the boss and carefully commented on Wen Zhengming's works, but they just forgot that Wen Zhengming was Shen Zhou's apprentice, and even forgot that Shen Zhou's "Fallen Flowers" happened to be next to him.
The mastery of calligraphy and painting is equivalent to the bloodline of the world, which is the most popular point.
But as a great appraiser, everyone forgot this, as long as Lin Yi picked it up and gave comments.
At this moment, it is unique.
Papa, suddenly applause sounded.
Lin Yi looked at him and the person who first applauded him was Tan Jinfu, the "god appraiser" who just now disdained to look at him.
