Chapter 2734: Warm-up
After seeing everyone sit down, the emcee smiled and officially announced the start of the auction.
Then, the first exhibit was pushed up.
"Bosses, this is our opening product today."
"There were four great talents in the Song Dynasty."
"The first work we auction today is the authentic work of Tang Bohu, the first of the four great talents of the Song Dynasty."
An easel appeared on the stage, and a painting was placed on it.
Fully unfolding it and taking a closer look, it turned out to be "Queju"!
They had seen this calligraphy and painting at the exhibition just now.
The stroke style is extremely delicate, the handwriting is neat, and while it is round and natural, it gives people a feeling of vigorousness and grandeur.
This calligraphy and painting font is indeed Tang Yin's style.
Because everyone had already seen the exhibits, the emcee did not give everyone time to disperse for appraisal, but directly announced that the shooting could begin.
The starting price is——
12 million!
The opening price was 12, which represented the basic style of this auction, which was definitely not for civilians.
Every auction item will cost no less than six figures.
As soon as she finished speaking, there were bids immediately.
"13 million!"
"14 million!"
"15 million!"
Today, when households with ten thousand yuan are still synonymous with wealthy people, every price increase is directly calculated in ten thousand yuan, which makes the host smile from ear to ear.
She had never seen an auction of this level.
As the emcee and part-time auctioneer, she gets a commission from every item sold.
She added 5 yuan at the beginning, which made her smile naturally and her attitude became more friendly.
"Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting actually sold for 18 yuan?" Jiang Hua seemed a little surprised, because as far as he could see, even if it was an authentic work, it would cost more than 15 yuan.
This price made him feel a bit premium.
Lin Ran thought it was normal.
Tang Bohu's authentic work will not be difficult to sell in more than ten years.
In fact, there are certain differences between antique auctions and antique collections.
Antique auctions are more like a financial game. You buy collectibles that will definitely increase in value, keep them at home, and then sell them at auctions after a while, and someone will pay a higher price to buy them.
It's just that in this era, people generally don't have this awareness.
Especially the conservatives, mainly Jiang Hua, felt that there was no need to pay such a high price to buy Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings.
After taking a look at Lin Ran, he saw that he had no intention of bidding, so Jiang Hua also remained silent.
"20 million!"
As soon as the price was revealed, the surrounding area became quiet for an instant.
"I'll trade Zhu Zhishan's painting for you!"
Finally a different voice emerged.
The biggest difference between high-end antique fair auctions and ordinary auctions is that they support barter.
As long as you can bring out a collection of the same quality, you can negotiate with the seller to exchange it.
Of course, the seller must also hope to exchange for a more valuable collectible, so it can only be backward compatible and cannot be overstepped.
"Zhu Zhishan's paintings?"
"Are you kidding? Can he compare to Tang Yin's original work?"
"Ignore him, I'll pay 21!"
As the auction prices got higher and higher, someone finally started to question it.
This calligraphy and painting, which was originally priced at around RMB 20, has now been sold for over RMB [-]. Some people suspect that a consignment was arranged at the venue to deliberately raise the price to an unacceptable level.
This is already quite a huge amount of money, enough for ordinary people to start a small company.
After the price was raised to more than 20 yuan, the atmosphere at the venue finally became silent, and people were no longer online. At the beginning, there was just as much competition for bids.
"Forget it, don't buy it."
"It's just that it's too expensive. This is just an ordinary manuscript, but you want to sell it for so much money."
"Thinking about money is crazy."
"Don't worry about him, there's the next thing."
After all, they are all businessmen in the antique business, so they can afford to put it down.
It's just a Tang Bohu manuscript. Even if it's authentic, there's no need to spend a lot of money to buy it. After all, there are more than 100 auction items.
In the end, Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting were taken down by a middle-aged man.
With a proud look on his face, he walked to the auction stage, put the calligraphy and painting in his bag, and slowly walked off the stage.
Everyone gave him complicated looks.
There is envy and ridicule.
Some people think it's not worth it, while others admire it.
"Okay, thanks to Mr. Liu Ziqiang from Shancheng for taking the photo of Tang Yin's Qianguquatrain. We also hope that his business can reach a higher level like Qianguquatrain!"
The emcee seemed impassioned, and because of her personal charm, there was a sea of applause in the venue.
"It's so expensive, do people really buy it?" Yang Jianlong complained.
At this price, you can buy more than 100 sets of brand new imitations from Shengshi Craftsmanship, and you can hold a small art exhibition at home.
Hearing his complaints, Lin Ran and Jiang Hua couldn't help laughing.
Yang Jianlong has become more and more like a businessman, and is getting further and further away from the collecting circle.
The second auction item is still a painting.
Lin Ran's face showed surprise when he saw this hand-painted scroll.
The background of the picture scroll in front of me is a landscape painting, but between the mountains and rivers, there are clouds and mist.
The mountain has an obvious hilly style, with undulating slopes. The strong brushstrokes depict the majestic force of the rocks. Although the mountain is high, it is rarely steep.
This painting did not appear in the exhibition.
"Brother Lin, it seems that you are very interested in this painting." Jiang Hua noticed the change in Lin Ran's expression.
"Yeah." Lin Ran nodded.
"What's your opinion?"
"If I read it correctly, it should be Dong Yuan's evening view of the river embankment."
Dong Yuan is not as famous as Tang Bohu in the hearts of ordinary people, but Dong Yuan was a painter earlier than Tang Yin.
As early as the Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo called Dong Yuan "a wonderful pen".
Because the mountain shapes he painted are completely different from the majestic mountains of other painters.
Others see mountains as mountains, but he sees mountains as not mountains.
He focuses more on depicting the characters in landscape paintings.
Therefore, his paintings often give people the feeling of paintings of local customs and customs.
On the basis of his predecessors, Dong Yuan created a new style of landscape painting, and became Dong Ju with the equally famous Monk Ju Ran at the time.
As the saying goes-
Dong Yuan was above all the princes.
Wang Wei is known as the ancestor of Nanzong painting, but in fact, they are the successors of Dong Yuan's painting style.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Gongwang commented that landscape painters must learn from Dong, just like poetry must learn from Du Fu.
Lin Ran's eyesight was relatively good and he watched on the big screen for a long time.
Finally, it was confirmed that it was Dong Yuan's work, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's simply wonderful." Lin Ran couldn't help praising it.
The picture scroll in front of him made him linger.
