"Okay, Mr. Zhang knows that your time is very precious. Let's start the introduction of the first auction item immediately. It is worth mentioning that this painting is an authentic painting by the famous artist of "Shiqu Baoji"." As soon as Zhang Zongbao finished speaking, there was a burst of whispering in the audience.
Seeing this, Zhang Zongbao nodded with satisfaction, "We are all experts, and we also know that as long as the calligraphy and painting of ancient painters appear on Shiqu Baoji, their value will immediately double.
"Judging from the current market situation of calligraphy and painting, the auction price of works recorded in "Shiqu Baoji" is rarely less than 5 million yuan to 10 million yuan.
"The "Shiqu Baoji" contains nearly two hundred pieces of Qian Weicheng's calligraphy and painting works, which is quite rare. This is an affirmation of his calligraphy and painting art, and it also shows how profound this famous painter's calligraphy and painting attainments are.
."
"Some friends may ask what "Shiqu Baoji" is? Is it some kind of scripture or secret book?"
As soon as Zhang Zongbao said these words, the audience burst into laughter again.
Zhang Zongbao also smiled and talked to himself: "This "Shiqu Baoji" is a large-scale calligraphy and painting collection compiled by the emperors Qianlong and Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty. There are three volumes in total.
"The first edition was compiled in the 10th year of Qianlong's reign, the sequel was compiled in the 58th year of Qianlong's reign, and the third edition was compiled in the 21st year of Jiaqing.
"It contains detailed collections of calligraphy and painting treasures collected by the Imperial Household of the Qing Dynasty, from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the middle to the early Qing Dynasty, and the entire Qianlong Dynasty. The works of almost all the famous calligraphers and painters of the past dynasties are included, and they are still the best. p>
"Although most of Qian Weicheng's authentic works are collected by major museums, there are still many works scattered among the people and overseas. This "Evening Ferry on the Autumn River" was unanimously identified as authentic by our Baoyuan expert appraisal team.
"Although this painting was not included in the "Shiqu Baoji", it was stamped with the imperial collection seal and was once collected by the imperial government. The starting price is 600,000 yuan.
"Today's first auction in this auction, I, Lao Zhang, have also invested a lot of money. There is no reserve price for this painting. Even if it sells for 610,000, it belongs to everyone.
"In addition, this is my Lao Zhang's private collection. If it is a fake, you will lose three for one fake. Now everyone can come on stage to watch the painting for five minutes."
In addition to the auction table, there is also an appreciation table in the hall. As Zhang Zongbao finished speaking, a huge red silk piece on the table was pulled open by the service staff, revealing a beautifully made glass cover.
There was a scroll painting placed on the long table in the cover. Shen Yu could only see these clearly because the distance was too far.
At this time, people had already gone to look at the paintings. Of course, the bigwigs from the antique and business circles in the VIP seats did not move.
Most of the first lots at auctions are good things, but they are not very valuable, because people have a sense of expectation. If the first lot is too valuable, the rest will not be easy to auction.
Li Qing'er turned to Shen Yu and whispered: "Qinan, I know Qian Weicheng's original work. It is very valuable. Grandpa has it in his shop. If it is real, let alone 600,000, it will be worth ten times more." ."
Shen Yu shook his head: "If it is an authentic work, don't think you can buy it for 600,000 yuan. After all, there are so many buyers here, and it can reach 6 to 7 million yuan in just a few rounds of bidding.
"Besides, even if no one bids and I'm the only one bidding, there are countless of their own people sitting on these seats, which are the so-called bidders. The purpose is to raise the price.
"Whenever there is a situation where the price is lower than their psychological price, the agent will increase the price to prevent good things from being bought cheaply."
Li Qing'er suddenly realized, "Isn't the trick of this auction too deep? Are there people like them among the co-authors?"
Shen Yu nodded: "Of course, you must know that Qian Weicheng's "Yandang Tu" was sold for a sky-high price of 130 million yuan, and "Taishan Ruijing" was also sold for 120 million yuan. It is impossible to buy an authentic painting by him for hundreds of thousands. , but Qian Weicheng is a prolific painter with many authentic works handed down from generation to generation. Some of his works are cheaper, but they are still worth several million."
"Wait a minute, why is the collection of Shiqu Baoji valuable?" Li Qing'er asked in confusion.
Pei Yuqin next to him smiled: "Famous ancient paintings and calligraphy have always emphasized orderly circulation, either with a clear and testable inheritance line, or mentioned in the description, so that they can be sold at a high price.
"Dong Qichang told such an incident in his "Essays on Painting a Zen Room" that a certain family in the capital had many authentic works by famous artists since the Tang and Jin Dynasties. Dong Qichang went to view them because of his name, and the other party readily agreed.
"Then in that house, Dong Qichang found a calligraphy and painting from the Tang Dynasty. There was an inscription written by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty on the painting. The brushstrokes were floating and it looked like a treasure in the painting. However, because Tang paintings were not unique, that painting was It is difficult to identify who painted the painting.
"Dong Qichang's first choice for identifying calligraphy and paintings was to find out the "Xuanhe Painting Book" and look at the pine needle veins in his paintings. Finally, he identified it as the original "Mountain Dwelling" by Wang Wei.
""Shiqu Baoji", like "Xuanhe Painting Book", is one of the most famous records of calligraphy and painting in our history. Do you understand now?"
Li Qing'er curled her lips and didn't reply.
Shen Yu would not take offense from both sides, so he also went to the stage to look at the paintings.
This "Evening Ferry on the Autumn River" by Qian Weicheng is a vertical axis, ink on paper, and is well preserved without any rat bites, insect damage, oil stains or dirt.
Qiujiang refers to the river surface in autumn, and the late ferry refers to the ferry boat at sunset, so the painting depicts the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in early autumn.
The middle ground of the painting shows towering ancient trees, waterfalls and springs. The mountains in the distance are hazy with rain and mist, and there are several small boats slowly crossing the water near the river.
The boatman and tourists are enjoying the rain and rain, and the characters seem to be alive.
The whole painting is vigorous and vigorous yet reveals a bit of tranquility and tranquility, and the artistry is very good.
There are two lines from an ancient poem at the beginning of the volume: The smoke from the cooking pot and the lonely boat bathing in the autumn wind, with hundreds of miles of green mountains in sight.

This is a painting with "Chen's calligraphy". It can be considered that Zhang Zongbao played a trick. Qian Weicheng is indeed a famous artist of "Shiqu Baoji", but this painting was not included in Shiqu Baoji. However, he said something about "Shiqu Baoji" 》If you don’t think fast enough about the various benefits and advantages, you will easily become confused.
Qian Weicheng, whom Shen Yu was very familiar with, was a famous number one painter in history.
There are few painters who have topped the imperial examination since ancient times. He was smart and loved painting since he was a child. He first made freehand brushwork of flowers and fruits, and later switched to landscape painting.
It can be said that I have developed a profound foundation of painting skills since I was a child. Later, my luck was so great that I got the guidance of the famous painter Dong Bangda, a famous minister in the Qing Dynasty, and learned to paint landscapes from Dong Bangda.
Qian Weicheng then changed his painting method, using dry brush to outline and paying attention to drying and dyeing. The brush and ink were integrated into one, and he was able to create boundary paintings, which eventually made him famous in the world.
In addition to the guidance of Dong Bangda, his paintings were taught by four masters of the Yuan Dynasty: Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, Ni Zan and Wang Meng.
Recently studied the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty, Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, Wang Hui and Wang Yuanqi.
Pay attention to one's predecessors and use the past as a teacher.
Qian Weicheng had a good reputation and was an official whom Qianlong trusted very much. Of course, this was also related to his ability. He served successively as You Zhongyun, entered the Zhinan Study Room, served as a daily lecturer, served as a bachelor, served as a bachelor, and served as a cabinet minister. Bachelor's degree, rites, engineering, minister of punishment and other positions.
His posthumous title is: Wen Min, and he was given the title of "Shang Shu" by Emperor Qianlong.
This posthumous title is very good. You must know that Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty and Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty also had this posthumous title.
"Shiqu Baoji" contains more than 160 pieces of his works, which shows how much Qianlong appreciated them.
Judging from the style of this painting, it is undoubtedly an authentic work by Qian Weicheng.
The time was about to come. Shen Yu turned around and returned to his seat. He glanced at the seat and was shocked. It turned out that Pei Yuqin and Li Qing'er were already talking and laughing together for some reason, just like best friends.
When he returned to his seat, his own seat was taken by Li Qing'er. Seeing that the two were chatting away, Shen Yu simply sat aside.
"Okay, the bidding for Qian Weicheng's "Evening Ferry on the Autumn River" has begun. The base price is 600,000. Each increase in price must not be less than 100,000. The one with the highest final price will win." Zhang Zongbao announced the start of the auction.
The initial bidding of Baoyuan's auction was not based on shouting. In a hall of 500 people, shouting would be inaudible.
Instead, there is a small bidding device on each seat, which is an electronic product slightly larger than a mobile phone. You can enter the lot number of the lot, then enter the price and press the OK button.
After calculating the data, a highest price is calculated every ten seconds and appears on the main screen behind the auction table and on the large screens on the left and right sides of the venue.
For example, Shen Yu is in seat No. 196. If he wants to buy this authentic painting by Qian Weicheng, after he inputs the price of 800,000, if it is the highest price during this period, "VIP No. 196 Bid" will be displayed on the big screen. 800,000”.
In the next ten seconds or the next ten seconds, if there is a higher bid than Shen Yu, for example, someone bids 900,000, it will be displayed below Shen Yu No. 196 with a bid of 900,000, and so on, until the bidding If there are no more changes within thirty seconds, the bidding will begin on the spot.
Each seat is equipped with a microphone, and the microphone starts to be powered at this time.
If no one bids higher than Shen Yu, the big screen will always be fixed at the price of 800,000. After the auctioneer calls out three times, the painting will belong to Shen Yu.
Baoyuan Auction House was the first to adopt this bidding method, and it has received great praise in the industry. At least the ears of wealthy businessmen will not be disturbed.
The bidding price begins to display on the big screen.
"VIP No. 325 bids one million yuan."
"No. 498, 1.2 million yuan."
"No. 186, 1.8 million yuan."
"No. 68, three million yuan."
In just forty seconds, the price of this calligraphy and painting rose from 600,000 to 3 million.
After just fifteen seconds, the big screen changed again, "On the 15th, four million yuan."
Pei Yuqin looked at the big screen and smiled at Shen Yu: "The bidding for the VIP seats has begun."
Shen Yu nodded to express his understanding. There were only thirty numbers in the first three rows, and number 15 appeared. Wasn't it because there was a bid for the VIP seat?
However, people in the back row do not necessarily mean less money. After only ten seconds, the big screen changed again: "No. 68, bid 8 million yuan."
People in the hall were stunned. This was a real tycoon. The bidding only took one minute, but it doubled to 8 million. One increase in price was 4 million.
Four million, this is too arrogant.
For a moment, everyone in the hall looked towards seat 68.
Shen Yu also looked forward, and coincidentally the other party also turned around and looked back.
Seeing the man's appearance, Shen Yu's pupils shrank sharply.
