Chapter 477

When song Lei fell into deep remorse, Chu Chen meticulously finished reading the picture of Lushan Mountain. Then he turned his head and asked song Lei, "Mr. Song, how much are you going to pay for this work?"

When people around him heard what Chu Chen said, they were stunned. Cao Hui asked, "Chu Shao, do you really want to buy this painting?"

"Why, can't I buy this painting?" Chu Chen said strangely.

"But this..."

Chu Chen interrupted Cao Hui and said, "Mr. Cao, it's been a long time since I came to you to do calligraphy and painting business. Haven't you heard of Lao Fang?"

Cao Hui was a little stunned when he heard the speech, and then he rushed to check it. He immediately blushed, and then said with a bitter smile: "it's really an old imitation!"

With that, he complained about himself in his heart, why he didn't find this earlier, and made a fool of himself in front of Chu Chen.

In fact, if it was someone else, Cao Hui would not be so careless. In fact, he had seen many calligraphy and painting works brought by song Lei before. Every time, they were high imitation paintings or shoddy fakes. After several times, he had no hope for the things brought by song Lei.

Song Lei didn't expect to meet Liu Yinhua Ming. He asked excitedly, "Chu Shao, right? How much are you going to charge for this work?"

"It's yours. It's not right for me to make a price."

At this point, Chu Chen saw song Lei's excited face, so he poured cold water on him:

"however, Mr. Song, I have something to remind you, no matter how good this work is, it's just a copy, the price can't be very high, and the author of the copy should not be a famous artist, but the imitation is more exquisite, and the superb painting art is not enough."

In the field of calligraphy and painting, there has always been the phenomenon of "imitation painting". Not all of these works are worthless. In addition, some excellent works of imitation painting also have considerable collection value. Among these paintings, in addition to the works of "masters imitating masters", there are also a large number of "fake celebrities" from the masters imitating masters of the old times.

Most of the so-called "fake names" were produced by painters in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Although these imitations are mainly used for making profits, there are quite a number of works with superb painting skills, old mounting and exquisite mounting. These works also have certain collection value.

For example, in 2000, an auction launched three "fake name" products to participate in the auction, and all of them sold at a good price. One is the Qing Dynasty's imitation of Zhao Lingzhen's colored silk scroll "a hundred birds and a phoenix", with a transaction price of 16000 yuan; one is the Qing Dynasty's imitation of Qiu Ying's colored silk scroll "Xuanji painting", with a transaction price of 80000 yuan; the other is the Qing Dynasty's Zhao Yong's colored silk scroll "Qun Xian Shou", with a transaction price of 50000 yuan.

And the reason why the three imitations were sold at a high price is that the most important thing is the delicacy. After all, art has nothing to do with authenticity. As long as you draw well, there will always be people who appreciate it and show the corresponding value.

Song Lei thought he was going to make a fortune. When he heard Chu Chen's words, his heart suddenly cooled down. However, he had already broken the jar. After pondering for a while, he offered 200000 yuan, which made other people at the scene feel some incredible price.

Hearing the price, Cao Hui wanted to scold him. Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Mr. Song, your work is not imitated by any famous artist. If it's Mr. Qi Baishi's copy of the high picture of Lushan Mountain, I'll buy it for two million, not to mention 200000. But you can only take back 200000."

Song Lei is also thick skinned. Seeing Chu Chen's posture that he doesn't want to talk about any more, he quickly smiles and says, "Chu Shao, I was just joking. For 20000 yuan, this painting belongs to you!"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I can give eight thousand at most!"

Song Lei begged: "don't mention it, Chu Shao. You are also a big man. Please feel sorry for me. Let me keep more money. I don't want more. How about eighteen thousand?"

If someone else, eighteen thousand Chu Chen may agree, but song Lei is the only one. He spread out his hand and said, "even if I have money, I can't spend it indiscriminately. If you really want to sell it, I can offer twelve thousand at most. If you want to make it higher, please do it!"

Hearing Chu Chen say so, song Lei turns his head and looks at Cao Hui. However, Cao Hui stands in the same place with a serious face. He can't see any other expression, but it's normal. Unless his brain is broken, he can stand up and grab what Chu Chen likes.

If Chu Chen was not there, Cao Hui would have bought the painting, but let alone 12000, he would not have given it.

Seeing this, although song Lei wanted to sell the painting to others, his experience during this period made him understand that the vendors were very black hearted. Even if the painting was sold to others, it didn't necessarily have the high price given by Chu Chen. The most important thing was that he was running out of food. He couldn't wait to experience the feeling that life was not like death again.

In the end, he thought for a moment and agreed.

After the transaction, song Lei carefully collected the money with him, then nodded and asked, "Chu Shao, do you want to have a look at these paintings?"When Cao Hui heard the words, he said: "I said, Lao song, you have shown me these paintings three times. I don't want them. Do you think the Chu major wants them?"

"Didn't you see that just now?" Song Lei murmured.

When Cao Hui heard him say this, he was angry in his heart. Isn't it that he broke his platform in front of Chu Chen? He is so angry that now he wants to kick song Lei.

Chu Chen explored with Bao Jue, then said with a smile: "I still believe in Mr. Cao's eyesight. I won't see these paintings!"

Of course, if there was something good in these paintings, he would not have said that.

Hearing Chu Chen say so, song Lei is a little disappointed, but today he sold a painting and solved his urgent need, so he didn't give any more persuasion.

Next, seeing that it was time for dinner, Cao Hui put forward the idea of inviting Chu Chen to dinner. Chu Chen originally wanted to go home for dinner, but he thought that Cao Hui had helped him after all. If he had to refuse to eat, it would be a bit of a rip off, so he agreed

After a relaxing lunch at a restaurant near Liulichang, Chu Chen and Cao Hui bid farewell. However, when he walked to his car, he saw song Lei sneaking over.

In this regard, Chu Chen did not feel strange, because when he and Cao Hui went to the hotel, he already noticed that song Lei was following them stealthily.

Although he had roughly guessed song Lei's idea, Chu Chen would not like to follow such a thing. He asked without expression: "Mr. Song, what's the matter with you following us?"

Song Lei quickly nodded and said: "Chu Shao, I think you also like collecting. I still have some collections in my family. I don't know if you are interested."

Chu Chen replied: "interest is there, but if you only carry these goods, then I can only say sorry."

Song Lei waved his hand and said, "don't worry, Chu Shao. There are two very good works in my family, which are not inferior to the one you just bought. Besides, there are many porcelains in my family, some of which you may like?"

"Porcelain?" Chuchen said with a smile: "I've heard from Mr. Cao that you sell porcelain. I'm not happy with that kind of porcelain."

Song Lei was embarrassed and said with a smile, "well, I admit that there are some fakes, but not all of them. You can see exactly how it is, and the price is guaranteed to be cheap."

Chuchen laughed and then asked, "since you still have porcelain, why don't you sell it?"

Song Lei laughs and doesn't know how to answer. Does it mean that others will send him away after seeing him?

Seeing this, Chu Chen whispered that he was to blame. Then he let song Lei get in his car. According to song Lei's guidance, he came to song Lei's home in the suburbs of Beijing.

Song Lei now lives in an old one bedroom. Now he is addicted to drugs and spends a lot of money. The original house has been sold by him and the money is almost spent.

Song Lei opens his burglar proof door, and suddenly a pungent smell comes to Chu Chen's face, which makes him unable to enter.

Seeing this, song Lei quickly opened all the windows, and then opened the fan in the living room. In this way, it took nearly ten minutes for the wind to blow away the taste of bone.

Song Chen shook his head and let him talk about the two paintings.

One of these two paintings is the same as the one just now. The Qing Dynasty imitates Qiu Ying's "beautiful forest Pavilion". The trees and rocks are thin and pliable, and the hills are round and beautiful. Whether it's sketching, brushwork is one of the texturing methods, and the light and bright green color is similar to Qiu Ying's style. It's also a good one.

Chu Chen was surprised that this painting was not only original mounted, but also mounted at a master level. You should know that it was just a copy. Unless it was painted by a famous artist at that time, it was not worth it.

But if it's really painted by a famous artist, it should have left its own promotion and seal. The key is that although the copy of this painting is OK, it can't be said how wonderful it is. Looking at the whole work, Chu Chen thinks that it can only be regarded as a painter's painting, and it's not likely to be a famous artist's work at all.

However, Chu Chen was surprised that such a painting had been mounted at a master level, which immediately made him think of the possibility that this painting might be another painting in a painting?

Thinking of this, he quickly used Lingbao eye on it.
