Soon, Boss Li handed Zhang Xuan a piece of Xuan paper, a sharpened research ink, and a top quality wolf hair.
“Boss Li, please take our dishes for this table and collect them.” Zhang Xuan took the rice paper and shook it out in front of him. When Boss Li arranged for someone to clean up the table he was sitting at, Zhang Xuan laid the rice paper flat on the table, then turned his back on the white and waved the wolf’s hair in his hand.
As soon as the pen was put down, Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered something and turned to Lin Qinghan and said, “Wife, watch for me, don’t let this master see me put down my pen.”
Lin Qinghan was Zhang Xuan this sudden wife, called the pretty face a red, cheeks slightly shy nodded, “Good.”
After the confession, Zhang Xuan turned around and continued to wield the pen.
With Zhang Xuan’s confession, Lin Qinghan three women, standing in rows behind Zhang Xuan, staring at Yu Bai, not allowing Yu Bai to see what Zhang Xuan was doing, at the same time, they could not see what Zhang Xuan was doing.
Only Fang Lu, who could see Zhang Xuan’s movements, stared at him with wide eyes and his mouth unconsciously opened wide.
Five minutes later, Zhang Xuan put the brush in his hand and let out a long breath, “Phew, well, wife, that located that Master Bai did not see it, right?”
“No.” Lin Qinghan shook his head, turned around, and asked curiously, “What are you doing?”
“This.” Zhang Xuan raised the rice paper on the table, and at the same time, what was on the rice paper was displayed in front of everyone’s eyes.
The moment they saw the rice paper, almost everyone, like Fang Lu, stared in awe, and their mouths unconsciously opened wide, including Lin Qinghan’s three women.
On this rice paper that Zhang Xuan picked up, there are several shrimps being drawn, these shrimps, but the painting of Boss Li, exactly the same, every dotted line, every stay brush, exactly the same.
“How is this …… possible!”
Boss Li walked to Zhang Xuan with an unbelievable face, looked at this painting in Zhang Xuan’s hand, and carefully asked, “Sir, can you show me?”
“Sure.” Zhang Xuan handed the painting to Boss Li with a casual face, the ink was not yet dry and there was still a smell emanating from the painting.
Boss Li placed this painting painted by Zhang Xuan together with his ink shrimp, carefully observed, found that these shrimp painted by Zhang Xuan, in size, the length of the dotted line, even the ink color of the shrimp section, are exactly the same as his own, even if it is printed on top of the original painting to copy, can not do so detailed.
“Zhang Xuan, you ……” Lin Qinghan a pair of beautiful eyes, flashing a look of disbelief.
Zhang Xuan smiled, “This is my method, Master Yu, may I ask, can you tell where the brush is broken in this painting that I painted?”
“You!” Yu Bai stared at Zhang Xuan, did not know what to say, he really did not think that someone could so, will this ink shrimp, copied out, how did he do it?
Just now, what Yu Bai himself said about the broken brush, painting style, that was all his own nonsense, he was also so emboldened because he knew that this painting was the real one, but now, if he was asked to tell the details, he simply could not do it.
“What? Can’t say it?” Zhang Xuan looked at Yu Bai’s speechless appearance and sneered, “As an honorary member of the Painting Association and vice president of the Suhang Painting Association, what you should do is to maintain the reputation of the Association and pass on the correct values, not to use your identity to do nonsense and talk nonsense! Appraisal of paintings, there has never been a person, like you, just look, and identify the true or false, I am now clearly telling you, Li boss this ink shrimp, not the real master Qi.”
As soon as Zhang Xuan’s words fell, there was a cacophony around.
“How is it possible!”
“It’s impossible! Boss Li just took out the certificate, can’t the certificate be a fake?”
“It doesn’t make sense, the certificate, who dares to fake ah, look at that, but the steel seal!”
Mr. Li’s face changed, “This gentleman, I admire your paintings, but you have to be responsible for your words, the certificate of my painting is clearly here, how can it be fake.”
“Kid, this big talk of yours is a bit too much!” Wan Yichang sneered.
Not to mention these people who are not related to Zhang Xuan, even Milan and the girls, they are a bit confused, Boss Li has already produced the certificate, why Zhang Xuan still said that the painting is fake.
Zhang Xuan smiled, “Boss Li, pay attention to what I said, I did not say that your painting is fake, nor did I doubt your certificate, I just said that your ink shrimp is not the real master Qi’s painting.”
Just after Zhang Xuan’s words, Wan Yichang chided, “Joke! I have been in this business for more than ten years, it is difficult to say that in the Qing Dynasty, there are two other masters of shrimp painting, both painted this ink shrimp.”
Zhang Xuan faintly looked at Wan Yichang, said softly: “You ignorant, it does not matter, but you should not shout so loudly to show off your ignorance, the Qing Dynasty, there is only one master shrimp painting, but in the Qing Dynasty, but there are multiple ink shrimp!”
“Sir, what do you mean by that?” Boss Li frowned.
“Everyone, have you ever heard of it, Corotype?” Zhang Xuan swept his gaze over everyone in the room.
“Corotype? Isn’t that the meaning of the printed version?” One person spoke up.
“Not bad.” Zhang Xuan nodded, “The reproduction of calligraphy and painting works mainly uses, manual copying method, photographic reproduction method, woodblock watermark method, Corotype method, offset printing and digital printing method, the earliest Corotype, appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and early Civil War period, this ink shrimp, is the Corotype produced at that time, so I said, Li boss’s certificate is correct, this painting, indeed, is a product of the Qing Dynasty period, but It is not the real painting of Master Qi.”
“How can you prove it?” Yu Bai asked in a low voice.
Zhang Xuan reached out and pointed to his head, “common sense, you care a little bit about painting, you will know that this master Qi ink shrimp of the real, has been stored in the provincial museum, and, this ink shrimp of the real, the bottom color of the paper is not yellow, but green, only the Corot edition, is yellow, you want to prove, you can use your hands to lightly touch the shrimp shell on the painting where the color is heavy. You are all engaged in painting, you should know that the ink color heavy place, after the ink dries, with the hand, you will feel the rough texture, but the Coro version will not, and, although Master Qi style is extremely simple, but each stroke, the force is extremely deep, Coro version of the ink color, will not penetrate to the back of the paper, which in itself does not make sense.”
Boss Li subconsciously reached out to touch his own ink shrimp when Zhang Xuan talked about ink color, and sure enough, the place where the ink color was heavy, there was not a bit of roughness, but appeared to be smooth.
“Boss Li, what he said, is it true?” Wan Yichang asked to Boss Li with a somewhat ugly face.
“Everyone wait a moment, I’ll make a phone call and ask for confirmation.” Boss Li took out his phone and walked to the back kitchen.
People who are in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, there are some doubts between their eyebrows, now, they do not know, in the end, who said is true, who said is false.
