Chapter 2019: Wishful fortune failed

Ye Tianqinglang's voice still reverberated in the audience, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Bada Shanren, formerly known as Zhu Da, Zirenan, also known as Xuege, Geshan, Renwu, Daolang, etc., when he was a monk, he was named Chuanqi, a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, a painter in the late Ming and early Qing, and a master of Chinese painting. .
He was originally the ninth grandson of Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He was a royal grandson. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he cut his hair and became a monk. He became a desperado. He later converted to religion and lived in the Qingyunpudaoyuan in Nanchang.
He is good at calligraphy and calligraphy, flowers and birds are mainly freehand brushwork, with exaggerated and peculiar images, condensed pen and ink, Shen Yi, majestic and timeless style, landscape master Dong Qichang, simple writing, quiet and quiet, and sparse.
His calligraphy is also very good, and he can write poetry and essays. He uses very little ink when he paints. The picture of "Lotus Swimming with Fish" in front of everyone is the best proof. The whole painting is only more than ten strokes, and the brush is extremely simple.
Zhu Da's life was rough and mentally disordered. After learning from the painful experience, he chose to turn his back, isolate himself from the world, and place his lonely soul in his creation. This also formed his unique style of painting.
In the words of Bada Shanren himself, it means, ‘there are not many ink spots, but the mountains and rivers are still old mountains and rivers. In the chaotic world, we branched the coconut tree, leaving Wenlin to make a careful copy. This can also be regarded as his summary of his life."
Listening to Ye Tian's explanation, everyone at the scene couldn't help nodding for it, and secretly admired it.
"Ye Tian is exactly the same as the legend. He knows everything and is omnipotent. Not only does he have a sharp vision, he also knows the relevant historical knowledge very well. It is a bit scary to come here at your fingertips!"
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Bada Shanren is good at freehand ink painting. In the field of freehand ink painting, he can be regarded as an epoch-making master, and he can be regarded as a great master in both landscape and flowers and birds.
Due to time constraints, here, let’s not discuss Bada Shanren’s ink and wash landscapes, and specifically talk about Bada Shanren’s freehand drawing of flowers and birds in this "Lotus Swimming Fish", which is more intuitive.
To be precise, Bada Shanren's freehand brushwork paintings of flowers and birds are more typical of his style and personality. To put it more sleekly, Bada Shanren's achievements in freehand brushwork of flowers and birds are relatively higher than those of ink and wash landscapes.
In some early freehand paintings of flowers and birds by Bada Shanren, we can see that he was deeply influenced by famous painters of the Ming Dynasty such as Shen Zhou and Xu Wei. His brushwork was more square and hard, and his subject matter and layout did not depart from his predecessors.
However, the aloofness shown in the freehand brushwork of flowers and birds, as well as the eclectic bold tailoring, such as not seeking the integrity of the object, have foreshadows the future development of Badashanren.
At the time of artistic maturity, that is, in the later years of Bada Shanren, his brushwork became more and more indulgent, not forming the law, vigorously round and beautiful, and full of vigor, and the composition is complete without seeking completeness.
In his freehand paintings of flowers and birds, one flower and one bird is not about calculating the number and size, but focusing on the status and momentum of the arrangement, and whether it is used in a timely manner, surprisingly and cleverly.
The most prominent feature of the Bada Shanren flower and bird painting is'few'. In his words, it is'cheap'. Few. One is that there are few objects to be depicted; the other is that there are very few brushes when modeling objects. This feature is very much expressed in this painting. Clear.
Specifically for this freehand drawing of flowers and birds, Bada Shanren completed the entire painting with just a few strokes, especially the looming little fish at the root of the lotus. It only used one stroke, but it was extremely vivid."
With that, Ye Tian pointed to the little fish in the painting that was hidden in the root of the lotus and seemed to swim freely.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone around the round table looked there and looked at the looming little fish. Everyone was amazed and intoxicated.
Although the outside audience could not see this "Lotus Swimming with Fish", after listening to Ye Tian's explanation, everyone could imagine the exquisiteness of this painting, and it was also very fascinating.
Next, Ye Tian pointed to the poem inscribed in the upper right corner of the painting, and continued to say with a smile:
"Bada Shanren can write poems, and his calligraphy is exquisite, so even if his paintings don’t paint much, with his poems, the artistic conception will be sufficient. His paintings make people feel small but not a lot. This is art. Ingenious.
The poem inscribed on this freehand drawing of flowers and birds, "Lotus", appeared in another painting of Bada Shanren, but the calligraphy used is different. This should be one of the reasons why some appraisal experts eyed.
In fact, this cursive painting poem written by dragons, flying and phoenixes, precisely explains the origin of this painting and also enhances the value of this "Lotus Swimming Fish", because it was written by Bada Shanren in his later years and is extremely rare.
The Bada Shanren’s old age can be described as a wandering, and finally he built a thatched house on Chaowangzhou in the outskirts of Nanchang, titled "Wugecao". He spent his lonely and poor old age in this thatched house until Passed away.
During that period, because of poor life and lack of energy, Bada Shanren’s creative frequency began to decrease significantly, and there were very few freehand paintings combining calligraphy and calligraphy with flowers and birds. This is just one picture in front of me..."
Next, Ye Tian continued to explain this outstanding flower-and-bird freehand drawing, combining some of the characteristics shown in the painting, the signature and seal of the Bada Shanren, and the many postscripts and seals on the painting.
The people surrounding this round table, as well as all the other audiences on the periphery, heard mesmerizingly, and felt immersed in it.
The speaker, Ye Tian, ​​was also very engaged. While explaining, he admired this top-level artwork obsessively.
Five or six minutes later, his performance had just come to an end, and it came to the end.
"Combining the characteristics just mentioned, I can be very sure that this "Lotus Swimming with Fish" is indeed the hand of a generation of Chinese painting master Bada Shanren, and it is a masterpiece in his later years.
Of course, this is just a statement from one family. Other antique art appraisal experts may have different opinions. This is not a problem. Everyone has different angles of appreciation and appraisal, and the results are naturally different.
Let's talk about the valuation of this "Lotus Swimming Fish". As you may know, in 2010, a picture of "Bamboo and Stone Mandarin Duck" by Bada Shanren was sold at a sky-high price of 11.9 billion yuan in the West Cold Printing Agency.
Soon after, another painting of Bada Shanren, the hand scroll of "Three Friends of Sui Han", was sold at the auction of Beijing Jiuge for a price of 16.8 billion yuan, which triggered a frenzy of chasing eight works.
In the past few years, the market for the eight major paintings has been rising, and his calligraphy works have become hard to find. A piece of "Seven Poems in Cursive Script" was sold at a sky-high price of 34.5 million.
Starting from my appraisal conclusion, combined with the current hot market of Bada Shanren's works in the antique art market, plus this is an integrated work of calligraphy and painting, and it is very well preserved.
I value it between 1.2 billion and 1.5 billion. If it is sent to the top auction and operated properly, this "Lotus Swimming Fish" may be able to sell a higher price and create a new record."
Ye Tian's voice has not yet fallen, and the scene is completely boiling.
Without exception, everyone was completely shocked by the valuation given by Ye Tian and exclaimed.
"Let me go! 150 million yuan, I heard it right? This is just an ancient painting. Even if it is a work by Bada Shanren, the valuation is too amazing!"
"I didn't expect to see top art works worth more than 100 million yuan here. Today is really an eye-opener. Compared with this painting, our heirloom is not worth mentioning!"
Amidst the continuous discussion, Teacher Tang, his wife, and daughter were all stunned in the area, with a dumbfounded look, eyes full of incredible, full of ecstasy.
At this moment, they seemed to be a little bit unable to believe what they had just heard, and the happiness came a bit too violently, and they directly beat them up.
Unlike them, the old man Tang, who had been standing before, had already sat down with a pampered look, just smiled slightly and nodded at Ye Tian.
Obviously, this old man has seen a lot of big scenes, and the valuation of 150 million yuan does not move him, so he is moved by it!
In fact, the military medals worn on his chest are enough to explain everything!
Ye Tian also nodded to Mr. Tang, then turned to look at Teacher Tang, and said with a smile:
"Tang, I really like this "Lotus Swimming Fish" created by Bada Shanren at the peak of his artistic career. I intend to include it in my bag. I wonder if you are willing to sell it?
If you intend to sell it, after the Spring Festival Gala is over, we can talk about this artwork transaction. I am willing to spend 150 million yuan to acquire this freehand painting of flowers and birds.
This is the upper limit of the valuation I gave. Of course, if you send this painting to the top auction, you may be able to sell a higher price, but you have to bear the huge auction cost.
I don’t need it here. Once this transaction is completed, I will transfer it to you immediately. Let’s get the money and the money. I get this painting and you get 150 million yuan."
Following Ye Tian's words, the scene immediately boiled again.
"That's 150 million yuan. Ye Tian, ​​this guy said, just took it out. He didn't even knock a slap, how rich is he?"
"Ye Tian's handwriting is too big, and today I really saw what is a super rich!"
While exclaiming, everyone at the scene was stunned secretly, including famous entrepreneurs and big stars in the entertainment industry.
Even though each of them is rich in wealth, they may not be able to spend 150 million yuan in cash at any time to buy a top-quality artwork.
Teacher Tang and the others just woke up, but they were stunned by Ye Tian's big hand. They stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyes almost flying out.
Before Teacher Tang could respond, the old man sitting on the head had already spoken. The old man smiled and said:
"Xiaoye, thank you for your appraisal and valuation. You are worthy of being the world's top antique art appraisal expert. His vision is really sharp. It really deserves its reputation!
However, this painting of Bada Shanren is a family heirloom of our family. Since it is a family heirloom, it will not be easily sold. I can only say sorry to you."
Hearing this, Ye Tian didn't care too much, he just shrugged his shoulders lightly and said with a smile:
"That's really a shame! Mr. Tang~EbookFREE.me~ It seems that I have no chance to own this outstanding painting of Bada Shanren, but it is very lucky to be able to see this painting today. Look Own it!"
As he said this, the grandfather who was sitting at the top of the round table next to him couldn't help flashing a look of disappointment in his eyes.
In fact, the reason why Ye Tian intends to buy this eight great painting is to give it to his grandfather, and also to consume a little cash in his hand, the best of both worlds!
However, it is a pity that Elder Tang did not intend to sell this painting, and his wishful thinking fell through.
Next, Ye Tian admired the painting for a few more eyes, then reluctantly rolled it up and tied it with a ribbon.
Immediately afterwards, Teacher Tang put away the priceless top art piece and carefully put it back into the brocade box.
After the identification, Ye Tian was about to take off his gloves and return to his round table.
At this moment, a few voices suddenly heard nearby, which made him have to stop and turn his head to look over.
