Chapter 185 Are You Using Counterfeit Products to Blackmail People?
The Lin sisters dragged Yang Chen to Lin Zhengtian’s study.
Although it is a study room, it is very large, even more spacious than their living room.
The old man usually writes and draws here, and the walls of the room are covered with his works.
Lin Zhengtian is exchanging experiences with some experts.
Seeing Yang Chen coming, Lin Zhengtian introduced with a smile: "I would like to introduce a young friend to you old friends. This is Mr. Yang Chen. Mr. Yang, let me introduce these old friends to you."
Liu Qingguo, Director of the Municipal Museum, Zhang Tiancang, Deputy Director, Chen Yingjie, President of the Haicheng Painting and Calligraphy Association, Liu Chuanxiong, CEO of the Agarwood Collection Art Appraisal and Trading Company, Zhao Jingzhong, a Qingfeng layman, and Tang Shoucheng, the master of traditional Chinese painting.
Yang Chen greeted everyone very politely.
Because Yang Chen was a friend specially introduced by Lin Zhengtian, and he was also called Mr. Little, everyone thought that he was a painting genius like Zhang Quan, so they were all curious to find out who Yang Chen studied under, which family he belonged to, etc.
Yang Chen never hides his job and truthfully tells everyone that he is just an online ride-hailing driver.
For a moment, all the experts were stunned, and then looked at Lin Zhengtian with curiosity.
Lin Zhengtian said with a smile: "I know you will feel very strange. Anxiang, go and bring that painting to all the seniors for appreciation."
Lin Anxiang nodded and hurriedly ran to her room to get the "Picture of a Girl with Maple Leaves in the Lake" painted by Yang Chen.
Lin Zhengtian said with a smile: "Little sir, come, take a look at our paintings and give us some suggestions."
Other experts naturally showed a look of disdain. What level of appreciation can an online ride-hailing driver have?
Can you give me any suggestions?
Lin Zhengtian is either deliberately showing off, or he is too humble. There is really no need to act like this.
Yang Chen casually looked at a few paintings and found something wrong with them. However, there were too many people today, and all the artists wanted to be shameless. Yang Chen didn't want to find fault in public, so he smiled and nodded, saying: "Not bad, Lin
Lao’s paintings are good, and everyone’s paintings are also good.”
What the hell?
Not bad?
Isn’t this guy too rude?
Lin Zhengtian, a master of calligraphy and painting, Tang Shoucheng, a master of traditional Chinese painting, Zhao Jingzhong, a master of ancient style, Qingfeng layman...
Any one you pick out is authoritative, and he actually says it’s pretty good?
Liu Qingguo: "Kid, what you say is a bit rude!"
Liu Chuanxiong: "It's not just rude! Mr. Lin's paintings are top-notch ones that many collectors are vying for but can't buy. You actually said they're not bad. What? Can you paint better?"
Zhang Tiancang knew that his son Zhang Quan had some issues with Yang Chen, and he was holding back his anger.
Naturally, he would not miss such a good opportunity to attack Yang Chen.
"You kid, you are talking nonsense! Can you belittle the paintings of all the masters?" Zhang Tiancang reprimanded angrily.
Yang Chen was stunned.
How to drip mud?
Aren’t these three words a compliment?
Do people in the cultural and art circles understand these three words differently from ordinary people?
Isn’t that right? Aren’t they all from the Dragon Kingdom and have the Chinese characters of the Dragon Kingdom?
Are these three words derogatory to them?
Lin Zhengtian said with a smile: "Don't be so excited. The little gentleman said it's not bad, but there is still room for improvement? Then I want to ask the little gentleman for advice. I hope I can make further progress in painting in the future. I hope the little gentleman will not hesitate.
Please teach me."
Yang Chen probably understands why these people are angry. It’s not enough to say that the co-author is not bad, he must say things like great, awesome, invincible, etc.
Yang Chen: "Mr. Lin, don't call me Mr. Little. I feel ashamed. Just call me Yang Chen, or call me Ah Chen or Xiao Chen like my aunt. I'm just an online ride-hailing driver.
Do you have the ability to communicate with an authority like Mr. Lin?"
Lin Shuying: "It's okay for everyone to communicate with each other. It doesn't matter whether what you say is right or wrong, good or bad. Art is inherently subjective. It's normal for different people to draw the same thing with different results.
."
Lin Zhengtian: "Haha...Shu Ying is so right. I will call you Xiaochen. Xiaochen, don't think too much, don't have any psychological burden, just say whatever is on your mind."
Looking at the ugly faces of those experts, Yang Chen also felt uncomfortable.
Mad, don’t you want to save face for you?
OK!
Then let each of you realize what your level is.
Yang Chen pointed at the previous picture of "Farmers Returning Home" and commented on it.
"This painting is outstanding in terms of appearance and color. It depicts the scene of a farmer working for a day and returning home accompanied by the stars and moon."
This painting is the work of Qingfeng layman Zhao Jingzhong. Hearing Yang Chen's praise, a smile appeared on his face.
However, Yang Chen then changed the topic and said: "But the author of this painting made a common-sense mistake. It may have something to do with him working behind closed doors."
As soon as he said these words, the smile on Zhao Jingzhong's face disappeared.
Zhang Tiancang: "That's nonsense! Do you know whose painting this is? How dare you talk nonsense!"
Yang Chen: "I don't care about the painting but the person."
Zhao Jingzhong: "Haha...little brother is right. Then can you tell me what mistakes the author of this painting made?"
Yang Chen: "Judging from the farmer's white hair and silver beard, he should be an old man. In ancient times, old people who had to work in the fields at this age could not be so tall and straight, and would inevitably have a stooped back. And he is a farmer.
, if he is not a martial artist, how could he have such a tall and strong body? The most accurate way to draw him is to paint him as an old man with a stooped back and a shambling step. The author of this painting must be based on his own physical condition or the physical condition of the old people around him.
He drew the old farmer in the painting, but did not actually go to the countryside to see what the elderly people in their seventies and eighties looked like. So I said that he made a common-sense mistake and was a typical example of working behind closed doors. Isn't that wrong?"
Oops, it’s so embarrassing.
Zhao Jingzhong's face turned red, and other experts were speechless.
Paintings like this are required to be as realistic as possible. The more they return to nature, the more they are in line with the essence and the more valuable they appear.
After hearing Yang Chen's analysis, everyone instantly felt that Zhao Jingzhong's painting was worthless.
Yang Chen pointed to the "Green Mountains and Green Waters" next to him and commented: "This painting is good in terms of content, color, etc., but I still want to call it garbage."
The face of Tang Shoucheng, the master of traditional Chinese painting, suddenly tightened because this painting is his proud work.
Zhang Tiancang: "Child, what are you talking about?"
Yang Chen couldn't stand this guy anymore, and said: "Comrade Deputy Director, you are very jumpy. The director and experts didn't say anything. You said something childish and nonsense. How can you be the deputy director with this kind of state of mind?
You’re in this position? You bought it with money, right? Didn’t your dad teach you not to interrupt when others are talking? You don’t have the most basic courtesy, how dare you show up here?"
Zhang Tiancang: "You...you...as fast as your tongue, you..."
Curator Liu Qingguo said loudly: "Okay! We won't say anything and let him talk freely! I don't see any flaws in this painting. I want to hear how he finds the faults."
Everyone nodded and stopped talking.
Lin Shuying looked at Yang Chen with admiration, thinking: "This guy has been avoiding me. I thought he was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. I didn't expect him to be so brave when his temper got worse. Hehe..."
Originally, Yang Chen didn't want to attack them, but they insisted on communicating with him because of his reputation.
So when it comes to communication, you still have to say only good things and not bad things?
What a waste of communication!
Yang Chen said that Tang Shoucheng's painting was rubbish, and he certainly had his reasons.
Elementary school students all know that writing an essay must fit the theme. If the title of the essay is "Green Mountains and Green Waters," then the green mountains and green waters should be highlighted, and paragraphs should not be wasted describing other things.
Do you understand this?
If you apply this principle to painting, it’s actually the same.
Tang Shoucheng's "Green Mountains and Green Waters" should have focused on green mountains and green waters, which means that these two themes should occupy the majority of the entire painting.
However, the effect of his painting is that the green mountains and green water are from a distance, occupying only a small part, while the pedestrians and woods are close-up, occupying the majority of the painting. Can this still be called "Green Mountains and Green Waters"? p>
After listening to Yang Chen's analysis, everyone suddenly realized.
The picture must have a clear priority. The theme that the painter wants to express must occupy an absolute position, and the length must be the largest. It is most taboo to overwhelm the guest and take over the subject, without distinguishing the priority.
Lin Shuying: "What if we change the name of this painting? For example, call it a walk in the woods?"
Yang Chen shook his head and said: "It still doesn't work! Because the theme of this painting is green mountains and green water, so although these two parts occupy a small part of the picture, they occupy c space. If the name of this painting is changed, for example, it is called
When walking in the mountains and forests, it is true that pedestrians and mountains are close-up and occupy most of the picture, but they are not in the C position. When I stood in the front and looked over, I saw green mountains and green waters that only occupied a small part, and
It’s not a walk in the woods. You call it a walk in the woods, but it still doesn’t perfectly express the theme. Therefore, this painting is garbage, and there is no possibility of saving it!”
Damn!
The proud work of the master of Chinese painting Tang Shoucheng was actually rated as rubbish by him!
The key is that no one can find a reason to refute. Even if they don't want to accept it and are still very angry, there is nothing they can do.
Lin Zhengtian feels a little guilty now, Yang Chen hasn't commented on his paintings yet.
It would be so embarrassing if flaws were found in his paintings.
"Why does it take so long to pick up a painting with this subtle fragrance? It makes me anxious." Lin Zhengtian thought to himself.
Yang Chen walked in front of the "Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest Picture" painted by Lin Zhengtian.
Lin Zhengtian immediately became nervous, his heartbeat accelerated, and his palms became sweaty, just like a student who was about to face a teacher's assessment.
Yang Chen looked at it carefully and said: "This painting is very good, basically there is nothing wrong with it."
Lin Zhengtian was unhappy again. If there is something wrong, there is something wrong. If there is no writing brush, there is nothing wrong. What do you mean by basically being unable to find faults?
Lin Zhengtian: "Hahaha... Xiaochen, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are all veterans, and we are not so narrow-minded. Don't worry."
Yang Chen nodded and said: "I have seen the picture of Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest on the Internet. It is said to be the work of Tang Bohu. If I remember correctly, he painted a tiger and a big tree. It mainly shows the tiger descending from the mountain and swallowing up the mountains and rivers.
The author of the painting in front of me is obviously more thoughtful and expressive than Tang Bohu. In addition to the tiger descending from the mountain, he uses a certain amount of pen and ink to describe the mountains and woods. However, it is precisely this forest that makes this painting a bit...
Flaws. We can imagine what kind of impact a tiger roaring up to the sky would have on other animals in this mountain forest?"
Lin Zhengtian: "Other small animals will be frightened and run away, but because they are in the woods, they do not necessarily need to be drawn."
Yang Chen: "That's right, but what about the birds? When a tiger roars, there can't be a single bird in a forest as big as yours, right? It would be perfect if a group of panicked birds could be shown above the forest, and it would be more expressive.
When the tiger roars, the beasts scatter in all directions. After all, the theme of your painting is the roaring tiger in the mountains and forests, swallowing up the mountains and rivers with its anger."
Lin Zhengtian suddenly understood and kept nodding.
Let’s not talk about the level of Yang Chen’s painting skills. His level of appreciation of paintings is really high.
Lin Shuying: "Yang Chen, you are very good. After listening to you analyze these paintings, I feel that my level has improved a lot. You were able to pick out the problems in the works that I thought had no problems before.
Awesome!"
Yang Chen: "Haha... Miss Lin is ridiculous. I'm just talking on paper. It's like I don't know how to cook, but it doesn't affect whether the food is delicious or not. Right?"
Lin Zhengtian: "Haha... Xiaochen, that's good."
Other experts also smiled awkwardly.
At this time, Zhang Quan and others came with paintings.
Zhang Quan brought "Fishing Alone in the Cold River Snow" that his mother had taken, Liu Zhenping and Stefanie Liu brought "Mountain and Stream Huansha Pictures" taken by Liu Chuanxiong, and Zhao Rulong brought "Lotus in the Sun" taken by Zhao Jingzhong
"Special Red" and "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" are in the hands of Lin Zhengtian.
In this way, the four paintings of spring, summer, autumn and winter are completed.
At the same time, Lin Anxiang also arrived belatedly.
Lin Shuying blamed: "Why did it take you so long to hold the painting?"
Lin Anxiang explained: "Forget it, some members of my poetry club got into a fight with someone and asked me to come and help. I don't have time to help them, so I can only call someone to help solve it. It's really
I’m so annoyed by these people. They are all scholars, but they are always causing trouble outside. If this continues, I will disband the poetry club directly so that I don’t have to wipe their butts every time."
Obviously, people regard Lin Anxiang as a big grievance, and they are using her social connections for nothing.
Lin Anxiang handed Yang Chen's painting to her grandfather, but now that Mr. Jinghu's four paintings have arrived, everyone is no longer in the mood to appreciate Yang Chen's painting.
Lin Zhengtian said with a smile: "Come, let me show everyone this painting painted by Xiao Chen."
Lin Zhengtian unfolded the drawing paper, and everyone came closer to appreciate it carefully.
Zhang Quan looked disdainful and deliberately turned his head away to look away.
It was because of this painting that he lost the confidence and opportunity to pursue the Lin sisters.
Hum!
I don’t want to watch it!
Qingfeng layman Zhao Jingzhong: "Haha... my little brother's painting is indeed of some standard. If it can be painted well on the scroll, it will definitely be a good painting."
Tang Shoucheng: "It's not bad. It's pretty good among young people. However, the color matching is a bit uninteresting, the whole painting is also very rough, and the artistic conception is a bit off."
Liu Qingguo: "It feels too vulgar, not as majestic as Lin Lao's paintings."
……
Just now Yang Chen found fault with them, of course they would take the opportunity to find fault with Yang Chen.
What majestic things can be drawn on a piece of 1*1 paper?
Lin Zhengtian said with a smile: "This painting was drawn casually, and there must be some flaws in the details. But if you look at the brush strokes, the overall matching of the painting, etc., is it somewhat similar to Mr. Jinghu's painting?"
He is worthy of being an authoritative expert in calligraphy and painting, and he has some vision.
Everyone turned their attention to Mr. Jinghu’s four paintings and gave their own opinions.
Zhao Rulong: "Impossible! These paintings by Mr. Jinghu are so good. What the hell is this?"
Zhang Quan: "That's right! How can he compare with Mr. Jinghu's paintings?"
Tang Shoucheng: "There is some similarity, but I am more willing to believe that he deliberately imitated Mr. Jinghu's paintings."
Liu Qingguo: "Yang Chen, have you ever been to the Municipal Museum to see Mr. Jinghu's paintings?"
Yang Chen nodded.
Zhao Jingzhong: "Yes, he did go there, and we even discussed and exchanged experiences."
Liu Qingguo: "Haha... That's no wonder. He is clearly imitating Mr. Jinghu's style, but he didn't imitate it successfully. It's neither fish nor fowl, and he doesn't know what it means."
Alas...
They are all paintings by Yang Chen. They belong to Mr. Shangjinghu and are called good paintings. To say that they were painted by Yang Chen is nondescript. These experts really can’t say anything.
Lin Zhengtian: "Hahaha... Mr. Jinghu's paintings are indeed very good. He has very precise control over the content, lines, pigments, light and shadow of the paintings. Xiaochen, what do you think?"
Zhao Rulong: "What can he see?"
Zhang Quan: "That's right, it's okay for an online ride-hailing driver to drive, but just appreciating calligraphy and painting."
Liu Zhenping: "Don't embarrass Mr. Lin. If you ask him to comment, it is like asking a farmer to play golf, appreciate Beethoven, and play the piano to an ox."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
Lin Shuying: "What do you know? Maybe Yang Chen's painting skills are not that interesting, but his appreciation ability is as good as anyone else at the scene. Besides, Zhang Quan, what qualifications do you have to laugh at him? He was like that that day
I’ll beat you with this painting.”
Lin Anxiang: "That's right! Anyone can laugh at Yang Chen, but you are not qualified. You are his defeated general, and if you mock him, you are mocking yourself for being even worse!"
Zhang Quan was left speechless by the Lin sisters.
After all, Zhang Tiancang was present, and Lin Zhengtian had to give him some face.
Lin Zhengtian quickly smiled and said: "We are gathered together today to appreciate Mr. Jinghu's four paintings. Everyone can express their own opinions. Art is a very important thing. Everyone has different opinions and different aesthetics.
These are all really common things. Come on, Xiaochen, tell me about these paintings."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, walked forward and took a closer look.
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Although I don't know who this Mr. Jinghu is, judging from his paintings, he should be a young man with both appearance and intelligence. He is absolutely handsome as hell." Damn it, let’s just say Brother Chen, can we stop being so narcissistic?
Lin Shuying: "Huh? Why do you think he is a young man? I think he is an old man with white hair and silver beard."
Yang Chen: "If he were an old man, his painting style would be the same as that of Mr. Lin, Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhao and other seniors, giving people a more stable feeling. But look at Mr. Jinghu's paintings, the four paintings of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
All give people a simple and cold feeling. Only the arrogance and youthfulness of young people can create this effect. There is a saying that the words are like the person. I think the same can be said about the painting. Mr. Jinghu
He must be a beautiful boy."
An image of a handsome young man in ancient costume suddenly appeared in Lin Shuying's mind, and she instantly felt a little excited.
Lin Zhengtian: "Haha... If nothing else, Xiaochen's appreciation ability is really strong."
Zhao Rulong and others were very unconvinced.
"It's just talk on paper."
"It's just that I can't draw well, so I just rely on my mouth."
"I've seen Zhang Quan's paintings, which are much better than his paintings."
……
Yang Chen came here this time not to really appreciate his paintings with them, but to teach these two bastards Zhang Quan and Liu Zhenping a lesson.
They paid people to beat Yang Chen, and this account must be settled with them.
Next, it was the Lin sisters' turn to appreciate it.
Although Lin Anxiang doesn't understand much, Lin Shuying is a professional painter, so she can understand it to some extent.
Two young and beautiful girls stuck out their buttocks to admire the painting, and the men at the scene focused their attention on their buttocks.
Zhao Rulong and others wanted to go up and touch it. Everyone looked at it more seriously than when they were in school.
Yang Chen came to Zhang Quan, who was at the back of the crowd, and whispered: "How will you and Liu Zhenping find someone to beat me?"
Zhang Quan's eyes flickered and he whispered back: "What do you want? With so many people present, do you dare to take action?"
"What happened?" Yang Chen whispered back, and then bumped Zhang Quan with his knee.
Zhang Quan's body rushed forward and knocked over Zhao Jingzhong. Zhao Jingzhong was already old and his lower body was unstable, so he fell towards the Lin sisters.
Zhao Jingzhong's shoulder knocked down the Lin sisters. The two sisters fell forward with an ouch and instinctively reached out to grab the two paintings in front of them.
"His! His!"
The two paintings were torn apart by the two sisters.
The scene immediately became quiet.
The Lin sisters looked at the fragments in their hands with horrified expressions, and then looked at their grandfather at a loss.
Zhao Rulong quickly helped Zhao Jingzhong up and said, "Grandpa, how are you?"
When Zhao Jingzhong saw that the situation was not good, he quickly sat on the floor and could not get up.
If this guy stands up, he might have to take responsibility.
Everyone glared at Zhang Quan, who quickly pointed at Yang Chen and said, "He was the one who hit me."
The moment Yang Chen knocked Zhang Quan away, he quickly retreated to the chair behind and sat down.
Yang Chen put down the water glass in his hand with a confused look on his face, swallowed the water in his mouth, and said: "Master Zhang, are you bored now? I am more than three meters away from you, and I blew you away with my mouth.
"?"..
Zhang Quan: "It was obviously you who bumped into me and then jumped over and sat down. Don't deny it!"
Just now, everyone's attention was on the Lin sisters' pouting buttocks, and no one really noticed Yang Chen and Zhang Quan behind the crowd.
Yang Chen chuckled and said: "Zhang Quan, Liu Zhenping, do you have fun doing this? You asked someone to beat me, but I didn't bother you. Why are you going so much harder? Bring two imitations over and deliberately damage them.
, are you blackmailing me, Mr. Zhao, and the two young ladies from the Lin family? You can forget about blackmailing me, but you will not let Mr. Zhao and the two young ladies from the Lin family let go. This is a bit too much. Mr. Zhao is already old.
You still bump into him like this. The two ladies of the Lin family just don't accept your advances, so you are so concerned about it that you use such despicable means to harm them. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Is this the kind of dirty and scandalous thing that a famous family in your mouth can drive out? " What?
Imitation?
Zhang Tiancang roared: "You fart! How could it be an imitation?"
Liu Chuanxiong: "If you don't want to die when you step on the horse, take back what you just said!"
Zhang Quan: "You fart! This is a genuine product. I have no intention of harming Mr. Zhao and Miss Lin. Please don't slander me!"
Liu Zhenping: "You're causing trouble on horseback, right? You must have hit Zhang Quan, and you're still talking nonsense here!"
Today, let them know what it is like for a mute to eat Coptis chinensis and have difficulty speaking, and let them know that the author has the final say whether this painting is true or false, not bullshit experts like them!
It’s time to change the broken rules of the junk art, cultural relics and antiques circle.
