Chapter 320 The fight in 'Oriental Metropolis Daily'
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Pujiang TV Station released a 5-minute "I Love You, China" MTV video with footage of the interior and exterior of the Tennis Center as scheduled.
A 5-minute film is not long or short.
The main thing is a wonderful thing:
Pan Hong on the Happy Coke assembly line, Liu Xiaoqing in the fourth workshop of the Second Garment Factory, Chen Peisi in the fire brigade wearing a green uniform,
Some employees of the "Afanti" studio of American Film Studio, the "Latent" translation team of the translation studio's recording studio, all the editors of Oriental Metropolis Newspaper...
Following the movement of the camera, groups from all walks of life sang on the screen one after another.
For a time, this song "I Love You, China" composed of various arias became the most dazzling star in the Spring Festival.
The crowd in front of the screen all shouted that it was wonderful and called for it to be done again.
Jiangshan's publicity plan for the "Rising Stars Concert" was originally interconnected.
First there was "Young Friends Come to Meet" sung by the studio's "Latent" team, and then there was "I Love You, China" sung by a large group.
Although it is just a piece of flowers, it is indeed enough flowers.
The purpose is to get people to rush around and tell each other, and then queue up to buy tickets.
The other one, of course, is to hook up with advertisements.
After all, a billboard worth 5,000 to 50,000 yuan a piece is not something that ordinary units can afford.
At first, when newspapers and TV stations jointly discussed the quotations for billboards to be installed in different locations, different opinions arose.
In the end, it was Comrade Jiangshan who stepped forward at the most critical moment.
In the name of "Chunfengdu" advertising company, we won this rare advertising agency opportunity.
And under pressure, he made an offer that neither party could resolve.
For a time, all three parties were happy.
If this transaction can be executed smoothly, more than 30 advertising spaces will bring more than 100,000 yuan in agency income to "Chunfengdu".
But plans are plans and reality is reality.
It's quite... not difficult to execute.
For example, this time, an accident occurred without any surprise.
Representatives from more than a dozen organizations gave up their holidays and came to the Oriental News Agency.
After inquiring about the quotation, we all rushed home to celebrate the New Year.
They all said that only a fool would buy an advertisement at this price.
Not to mention them, many insiders think so too.
Just when Ding Lingling and Jiang Zhuangzhuang thought that wealth comes and goes in a hurry,
Greater wealth came in another form.
…
In the editor-in-chief's office of Pujiang Metropolis Newspaper.
Before several other editors arrived, editor-in-chief Jiang Hai's eyes widened in shock.
"Radar costs three yuan, and Panasonic costs five yuan?" Jiang Hai felt that the advertising bidding was about to end: "A Coke named Coca-Cola ordered ten billboards? It's crazy!"
How could it be crazy? It's so energetic!
Before my family realized it, outsiders were already using the "Rising Stars Concert" to create momentum.
Jiang Shan tried his best to cooperate with the boss and opened his eyes:
"Director Zhang of the Propaganda Department personally called my office. When he heard that I was away, he called the TV station. Director Gu was so excited that he even dropped his cigarette from his pants."
"I really didn't expect it," Jiang Hai shook his head in disbelief: "They are not expensive? The billboards on Nanjing Road only cost a piece!"
Jiang Shan: "A piece of Nanjing Road costs 100,000, how much do we have?"
Comrade Jiang Hai said in a pragmatic manner: "The ones on Nanjing Road can meet with the masses every day, but what about yours? It only takes three days."
Seeing this, Jiang Shan also laid out the facts for him:
"Don't forget, the advertisement for the Ten Thousand Sports Center will be on TV. Don't think about it. Once this concert is broadcast on Pujiang TV Station, people all over the country will be able to see it."
Judging from the current development of the situation, Jiangshan has already regretted setting the price at a low price.
"Here is the way," Jiang Hai realized, but then he thought: "Why didn't you mention this during the meeting that day?"
"If I had explained everything clearly at that time, would they still have allowed me to be an advertising agency?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Jiang Hai shook his head: "Lao Sannong is so unreasonable, even I tried to hide it."
"If I sincerely wanted to hide it from you, I wouldn't have made it clear at this time." Jiang Shan defended himself: "Isn't it because I haven't been busy?"
"That's true," Jiang Hai admitted: "Except for New Year's Eve, I haven't sat down and had a proper chat with you these days."
"You don't talk to me when you have time,"
Jiang Shan said as he put a box of Chinese cigarettes on the table into his pocket: "I'm just going to watch "Chu Liuxiang" with my second brother."
Even though he knew that the third child was richer than him, Jiang Hai still threw the match at him out of habit: "Don't mention "Chu Liuxiang" to me. The second child and Xiao Chen didn't want to wait for me to watch it together. I've already missed several episodes.
."
"It's okay," Jiang Shan said with a smile: "In two days, I will bring you the video recorder in the office downstairs, and you can watch it however you want."
Before he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
Jiang Hai pointed outward: "With this office environment, you can look at it however you want?"
"Okay," Jiang Shan patted the boss on the shoulder: "We will talk about the concert advertisement later. Coca-Cola's money is not that easy to make."
Otherwise, the Propaganda Department would not have called me in a hurry.
dong dong dong
After three knocks on the door, several chief editors walked in one after another.
After everyone sat down in their respective positions, a smooth and smooth workflow started.
Normally, manuscripts have been finalized before entering the door.
The ones that were left to the end were all manuscripts that did not dare to make independent claims.
But what Cai Wensheng wants to say this time is an article that has been signed by the editor-in-chief.
"Lao Jiang,"
Cai Wensheng, who is an acquaintance of people, did not hesitate to speak: "Look at this manuscript...should we be more cautious?"
"Which one is it?"
Jiang Hai took it and took a look, then glanced at Jiang Shan, and then said: "It's okay, just send it normally."
The glance from the editor-in-chief made the editors in the room mistakenly think that this was another arrangement by Jiangshan.
So, Jiang Shan quickly raised his head and took a look at the manuscript.
Then he decided to admit it!
Sure enough, Editor Cai turned to Jiang Shan again:
"Chief Jiang," he shook the manuscript in his hand: "Why does our newspaper need to wade into this muddy water? Ordinary people can't understand this."
Rong Bin on the side also reminded: "Yes, Jiang Shan, this Xie Zhiliu is the curator of Pujiang Museum, you don't know that, right?"
It was obvious that they had already bumped into each other.
"I think so." Jiang Shan said calmly: "Even if we publish this article, it does not mean that our newspaper agrees with the views in the article, it is just that it is brought to the public's eyes."
In fact, if a publication agrees to publish an article, it at least means that it does not object to the views in the article.
However, Jiangshan is stubborn.
So when Cai Wensheng opened his mouth again, he spoke first: "Isn't it all said above? Everyone is allowed to express their opinions, and a hundred flowers are welcome to bloom."
Cai Wensheng: "..."
"Furthermore," what Jiang Shan wants to see most is:
"Since we can publish articles by experts from the Yanjing Museum, we can also publish articles from the Pujiang Museum. If Director Xie has any objections, you can submit articles to us."
But never settle for peace, be sure to get angry.
"This is the director of the Pujiang Museum," Cai Wensheng emphasized: "How can he not have any relationship with the Municipal Ministry of Culture?"
"What Lao Cai means," Rong Bin explained helpfully: "It's not a topic that ordinary people like to read, so don't stir up trouble."
Jiang Hai smiled and took the manuscript over:
"To be honest with you, this article does come from the north. As far as I know, it is because of Director Xie's prestige in the industry that this expert's article has nowhere to be submitted, and the friend who asked me to help publish it
, in fact, we are also from Pujiang."
After listening to the editor-in-chief’s explanation, the editors-in-chief also knew whose idea it was.
"What Section Chief Jiang just said was right," Jiang Hai continued:
"The leaders above have called on everyone to express their opinions. If we as a news unit do not support it, everyone will express their opinions."
Jiang Hai opened the drawer and took out a work cigarette: "Besides, why do the superiors ask everyone to express their opinions? Isn't it because they are afraid that one family will dominate!"
"It makes sense," Comrade Rong Bin nodded and smoked a cigarette: "Nowadays, the phenomenon of one family being the dominant one is still very serious."
Seeing this, the office was soon filled with light smoke.
There is no way, meetings in this era are just a waste of time.
Cai Wensheng thought carefully: "Me, actually, it's not that I want to protect anyone, the main thing is that I feel that the people won't care about this matter at all."
"Whether the people will care depends on what we say," Jiang Shan suggested: "Don't we have a content title on the front page of our newspaper? Then we will write like this: The Mystery of Thousand-Year Ancient Paintings."
"The mystery of thousand-year-old ancient paintings?" Cai Wensheng muttered a few times: "Hey, this is a wonderful title!"
When the typesetting editor Ning Hua heard this, she quickly reached out and took the manuscript over: "What on earth are you talking about? When you tell Section Chief Jiang this, I am extremely curious."
"No way," Rong Bin said with a frown, "Can the cultural relics hanging in the museum be wrong?"
…
The identification of Chinese calligraphy and painting is the most difficult and complex classification among all cultural relic identifications.
This "difficulty" does not refer to the degree of "difficulty", but to "difficulty" in one word.
There is a special rule in Ma Weidu's museum: no calligraphy or painting is allowed to be collected.
why?
It’s a long story, hard to describe in one sentence.
For other categories of cultural relics, generally as long as the age is accurately determined, it is enough.
And the appraisal of calligraphy and painting...
Even if you can determine its age accurately, it's still not enough.
Because the author of cultural relics, calligraphy and painting is the foundation that determines the value.
So there are many problems. Even if the painting has been signed by the author, there is still the possibility of a friend, disciple, brother, or even wife ghostwriting it.
This happened to Qi Baishi.
Spending time together day and night, his wife Hu Baozhu was deeply influenced by her, and her attainments were not shallow.
One day, Qi Baishi saw a painting on the table and recognized it as his own work.
He signed the signature with ink and stamped it with three seals.
It was only a day later that I discovered that it was the handwriting of my beloved wife, so I quickly added an inscription and an explanation: This small painting came from Baoji.
This was discovered in time, and many others were not discovered.
In addition, as we all know, even if we rule out the possibility of ghostwriting by our close friend Baoji, we still have to identify what this calligraphy and painting is:
Facsimile (a rubbing on a painting)
Copies (works copied from paintings)
Copies (works based on the style and brushwork of famous calligraphy and painting. This is the most common, and is freer than copies and copies.)
Ghostwriting (this is the most fascinating, Tang Bohu and Song Huizong both did it)
Counterfeit (everyone knows)
Listening to it makes your scalp numb. Isn’t it hard to explain?
Fortunately, our country has several national treasure-level calligraphy and painting appraisal masters.
In Jiangshan's opinion, domestic calligraphy and painting appraisal can be divided into two major schools, namely the sword sect and the qi sect.
One group is more in the physics department and objectively analyzes the details of textual research.
The other school is profound and mysterious, focusing on personal cultivation and understanding, and pursuing the ancient charm of calligraphy and painting.
The boss of Jianzong is Mr. Banchi Xu Bangda.
There is a saying in the calligraphy and painting circles that since the death of Mr. Xu Bangda, there are no appraisers in the Chinese calligraphy and painting circles, only appraisers.
Qi Buddhism refers to looking at Qi, observing its charm, and judging its authenticity.
This profound identification method cannot be explained in just one or two sentences.
It is a great test of the talent and vision of experts, and its representative is Mr. Xie Zhiliu.
As a close friend of Zhang Daqian, Xie Zhiliu's skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Like Xu Bangda, he is not only able to identify calligraphy and painting, but his skills in calligraphy and painting are also among the best in the industry.
The appraisal styles of the two experts are particularly outstanding.
Xu Banchi's main philosophy is to seek truth from facts. What's fake is fake. Even if the King of Heaven comes, I can't change it.
But Xie Zhiliu is different, he is a very particular person.
Pay attention to methods and methods.
For example, if a famous person holds a collection, ask two people to identify it.
Xie Zhiliu looked at it carefully and said: OK, OK, OK. Regardless of the authenticity of this painting, judging from its artistic value alone, it is already a very rare painting.
Look at Xu Bangda again, if you see one that has been carefully imitated: keep it for yourself!
It has no technical content at all: it’s completely fake.
So, this article that will be published in "Oriental Metropolis Daily" is a battle between these two sects.
In the Pujiang Museum, a "Snow Bamboo Picture" has been collected for a long time.
It has a length of 155 cm and a width of 99 cm. (This is very important)
This painting has no identification, unique painting style, and extremely rare expression techniques.
Xie Zhiliujing's research believes that "Snow Bamboo Picture" is the masterpiece of Xu Xi, a great painter in the painting circle of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, known as "Huang Quan Wealth and Xu Xi Hare".
After reaching this conclusion, Xie Zhiliu published the article "Xu Xi's Writings and Discussion of Snow Bamboo Pictures" in 1973.
What does this identification mean?
It means that the authentic works of the great painters of the Five Dynasties have appeared. This discovery is comparable to the "Haihun Hou" in the archaeological world.
You must know that whether it is paper or silk, it is extremely difficult to preserve it for thousands of years.
This is also one of the reasons why the "Pingfu Tie" donated by Zhang Boju has become a national treasure.
Soon, this unmarked painting was suddenly recognized as an authentic work by Xu Xi, which attracted widespread attention.
But given Mr. Xie’s status in the world of calligraphy and painting, most people would not dare to question him.
However, Mr. Xu Bangda stood up.
He made it clear: impossible, absolutely impossible.
Later, he also wrote an article.
However, in view of Mr. Xie's status, Xu Bangda's "Testing the Painting Technique of Xu Xi's "Falling Ink"" has been rejected.
It was not until 1983 that it was published in the magazine "Art and Beauty".
The article provides a comprehensive and thorough analysis of the painting based on a large amount of historical data.
To put it simply, "Snow Bamboo Painting" has reached a technical level that only appeared after the Southern Song Dynasty.
After Xie Zhiliu saw the article questioning him, he wrote another article "Rediscussing Xu Xi's Ink Writing—A Reply to Mr. Xu Bangda".
After that, the two sides went back and forth several times, but no one could convince the other.
The melon-eating expert group said one after another that they didn't care at all what year "Snow Bamboo Picture" was painted, they just wanted to hear the two masters discuss it.
In the end, Xu Bangda came up with his trump card: verify the silk size.
The challenger said: "Xu Xi was born in the fifth generation. The scrolls at that time were not wide and could not exceed 60 centimeters, but the "Snow Bamboo Picture" was about one meter wide.
Brother Xie, as long as you can find a silk painting with a width of one meter before the Northern Song Dynasty, I will lose."
As soon as this statement came out, Mr. Xie still couldn't agree with it.
Said: Just talk about painting, what are you trying to do with me?
At this point, the matter is settled for now.
"Is there no controversy over things in museums? That's not true,"
Like a master, Jiang Shan opened the lid of the cup and swung it: "Maybe, we really caught some hot news for our newspaper."
Seeing the death-seeking expression on the third child's face, Jiang Hai chuckled: "Maybe, someone will want to talk to me tomorrow."
