Chapter 401 The Difference Between Truth and Falsehood
"it's beautiful!"
Hua Ruyu and Chen Ling'er lost their voices almost at the same time. Although they were laymen, they could still tell whether it was expressive or not.
Several old men also stared at him, their praise clearly visible on their faces.
The others couldn't help but exclaimed.
How is this possible? Ye Tianlong really drew a picture of Fallen Flower Man Independence under everyone's eyes. It was still so vivid and lifelike that he couldn't help but couldn't believe his eyes.
What shocked their hearts even more was that this piece of Falling Flower Man was 90% similar to the one in Guo Sisi's hand.
The only difference is the paper quality, but as long as you give them some time and a little antique processing, the two paintings can be completely fake.
"How can this be?"
While everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tianlong in surprise and approval, Guo Sisi, Gao Fushuai and Jia Renyi turned pale, and their hands and feet couldn't stop shaking.
Because this painting was really bought by Guo Sisi from the Hong Kong Christie's auction house for 70 million, and he never thought that it would be a fake.
But the result is that it is obvious that it cannot be changed. The two paintings are exactly the same.
No matter how awesome Ye Tianlong is, he can't create the authentic painting of Xu Beihong. If Ye Tianlong can't create the authentic painting, it means that Guo Sisi's painting is a fake.
"Minister Ye, you are so awesome."
The three girls, Hua Ruyu, were the first to clap their hands and cheered for Ye Tianlong to regain his face: "The painting is so good."
The silent crowd also reacted and gave Ye Tianlong warm applause. One after another, they all expressed their amazement at his hand.
"Even if these two paintings are not 100% similar, they are 99% consistent and are infinitely close to the brushwork of Master Xu Beihong."
After examining the two paintings with a magnifying glass, the white-bearded old man made an authoritative judgment:
"The only difference is the newness of the paper. Although it may be true that the Fallen Flower Man in Donglaishun is independent, there is a greater chance that it was counterfeited by talents like Brother Ye. For safety reasons, I gave up on this painting."
He turned to the old man with glasses: "If you like it, Mr. Qiao, you can take the risk."
“It’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s false, so why bother with money?”
The old man with glasses hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Seventy million, if I really want to gamble, I would rather buy this new painting for my collection. His brushwork is closer to Master Xu."
Several old men nodded one after another, although they all knew that the painting in Guo Sisi's hand was probably that of Xu Beihong, and that Ye Tianlong's painting was completely new, but it seemed that the new painting was more perfect and powerful.
The former is 99% similar to Xu Beihong, then the latter is 99.9%.
The rest of the good people came up and looked at it bit by bit with a magnifying glass. Everyone who looked at it couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. It was really fake and real.
Gao Fushuai and Jia Renyi's faces turned pale.
Ye Tianlong himself, as if nothing happened, washed his hands with mineral water, and then said: "Now, do you believe that I am not causing trouble?"
The old man with a white beard smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Ye's painting skills are extraordinary, but we made a mistake."
The old man with glasses also echoed: "Brother Ye has this skill, and wealth will be within your reach in the future."
Immediately, there were rounds of applause and admiration from all around, and they were also full of envy and emotion. With this skill, you can definitely make a fortune.
You can also make a lot of money by specializing in counterfeiting.
Chen Linger's three daughters were also happy for Ye Tianlong and almost kissed him on the face.
Whitebeard stretched out his hand to Ye Tianlong: "Let me meet you. My name is Niu Taishan. I run an appraisal academy."
The old man with glasses also hurriedly joined in the fun: "Let me meet you too. My name is Qiao Beidou. I specialize in buying and selling antiques."
Although Ye Tianlong was amused by the strange name of the other party, he still shook hands with the two of them generously: "My name is Ye Tianlong."
Someone nearby shouted: "Boy, they are the Ersou of Antiques, the Taishan Beidou of Antiques. You are lucky to know them."
Niu Taishan and Qiao Beidou waved their hands: "Make friends, make friends."
"No matter how similar your painting is, it is still fake. It was painted by you, Ye Tianlong."
At this time, Guo Sisi, who had reacted, stared at the scroll with displeasure, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Your value is completely inferior to Master Xu."
Jia Renyi immediately struck while the iron was hot: "That's right, we bought it for 70 million yuan, how can it be a fake? It's Master Xu's arm."
"No matter how similar you draw, it's just a likeness."
Then he shouted: "I was messed up by a villain today. Miss Guo decided to take it away at a fixed price of 80 million."
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, Guo Sisi was willing to take action at 80 million, and just now he was shouting that he would start at 100 million.
It's just that this time is different from before. Ye Tianlong's paintings are fake and look like real ones, which makes people always worry that Guo Sisi's hands are also fake, so no one bids.
Guo Sisi shouted: "Original price, 70 million!"
Still no one said anything.
"Miss Guo, don't sell it. Your painting is really fake."
Ye Tianlong took a long breath and took a step forward to take Guo Sisi's painting: "Let me tell you, there is something wrong with this painting."
Guo Sisi originally wanted to snatch the painting back, but when she heard Ye Tianlong said there was something wrong with it, she shouted coldly: "Do you know anything about antiques?"
No one agreed this time. Ye Tianlong's painting just now explained everything very well. This boy really understands.
Niu Taishan, Qiao Beidou and the others came up and said, "Little brother, tell me, what's the problem?"
Qiao Beidou asked: "I can't tell the authenticity of the strokes. Is it a problem with the paper? It looks a bit rough."
Ye Tianlong coughed lightly, cleared his throat and then said: "The Fallen Flower Man is Independent, which was painted by Xu Beihong from 1942 to 1944."
"Everyone knows that Master Xu never pays attention to the paper quality when painting. He can also draw on paper worth 10,000 yuan, and can also use paper worth 10 yuan."
“So it’s meaningless to use paper to judge the authenticity of Master Xu’s works.”
Niu Taishan also asked: "It's not the paper, but the brush is not from the Republic of China?"
Ye Tianlong shook his head slightly, pointed to the painting above and said: "The paper for this painting is from the Republic of China, and the pen used for painting is also from the Republic of China, but the ink is not from the Republic of China, but the ink after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"Its technology has evolved a lot, so the lubrication of the ink is much more delicate than in the Republic of China."
"It's not that the counterfeiters can't find the ink of the Republic of China."
Ye Tianlong's fingers crossed the ink on it: "I found the paper and pen, why did I ignore the ink? It's because he deliberately left such a failure."
The words woke up the dreamer, and everyone stared at the ink on it. A few old men even reached out and touched it, and found that it was quite delicate.
Guo Sisi was worried that others might touch her, but she was even more worried about being labeled a fake, so she gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Ye Tianlong added: "In addition to the flaws in the ink, there is also the seal of Xu Beihong, which is obviously inconsistent with the layout of this painting."
"I can tell you that this seal is one size smaller than Xu Beihong's other paintings. If you don't believe it, compare it with an authentic one."
"I happen to have a picture of horse training there. I'll have someone bring it over for comparison."
Niu Taishan was obviously also a hardcore antiques expert. He immediately made a phone call after hearing Ye Tianlong's paintings. Not long after, a dozen people came over carrying a box.
Niu Taishan stepped forward and opened the box, took out an authentic painting of Xu Beihong's horse training picture, spread it out and compared it with Guo Sisi's.
Sure enough, everything was as Ye Tianlong said, the writing and ink were rough and the seal was one size larger.
Guo Sisi looked pale and said, "What does this mean? Maybe the larger seal is a fake."
As soon as these words came out, several Donglaishun staff members tugged on Guo Sisi's sleeves, which was the way to offend Niu Taishan.
The other spectators also shook their heads. Miss Guo was not a good person. Not only was her painting a fake, she also brought Niu Taishan into the water.
Niu Taishan didn't change his expression, but laughed loudly: "Miss Guo is right."
Then he looked at Qiao Beidou: "Old Qiao, you also have a picture of galloping horses. Take them out and compare them together. The three pictures together will be more convincing."
Qiao Beidou let out a hearty laugh after hearing this, and without too much nonsense, he took out his phone and called. Not long after, another group of people ran in.
Soon, a picture of a galloping horse appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The seal on it was the same as Niu Taishan's painting, with a relatively full and smooth structure.
In Guo Sisi's painting, the seal is much slimmer.
A comparison of three paintings completely proves that Guo Sisi's painting is a fake, not to mention the trump card of laboratory ink.
