Before it even started, the two sides were full of gunpowder. This time it was Mengkai who started the war: "Sean, last time you were lucky. This time I will make you the beginning of the failure of the American team."
"You really take yourself seriously. I was able to beat you last time, and I can beat you this time. My team members will fight for victory to the end. And your new captain, I think, is nothing more than that.
I haven't met any real opponents, and that female treasure appraiser, oh, how pitiful." Sean was not to be outdone, he would not easily let Meng Kai gain the upper hand in momentum.
"This is the biggest reason why you will lose the game. If you underestimate our captain, you will suffer a big loss. It is best to tell the players behind you not to be too desperate."
Meng Kai found it very funny. At this point, Sean still felt that Qiao Meng didn't have any real abilities. He just followed him to pick up bargains and get to the top eight. The position of captain was because he wanted to be a
Cover to confuse your opponent.
I really don’t know what he thinks. He has obviously watched Qiao Meng’s games, but he just doesn’t want to admit that he is very strong. Maybe it’s because he has a preconceived idea from the beginning.
Once he makes an idea, he can't change it no matter what. In addition, he has a very conceited character, so it is unlikely that he will think that the enemy is very strong, or even say that he is stronger than himself. This will not affect him.
recognized in the world view.
From the moment he led the team to win the world championship in the last term, it was destined that he would never take anyone seriously again. Even if Meng Kai defeated himself, he thought it was just a fluke and his own strength was the only one.
is the strongest.
However, Meng Kai also thinks this way. At the beginning, if Qiao Meng had not appeared, he would not have reached this point today. Perhaps he was still immersed in the thought of being the best in the world and unwilling to come out.
It was Qiao Meng who gave him a new lease of life and made him realize where he was lacking.
By Qiao Meng's side, he could always inadvertently learn a lot of things that he didn't understand before. He also grew up in this process, so he became more and more willing to be the second in command and give up his first position.
For Qiao Meng, even though he still has a trump card, he has not underestimated Qiao Meng's ability.
During this period of time together, he did see the deeper level of Qiao Meng's strength, which allowed him to gradually truly recognize this captain. He could clearly feel that even if he used his special abilities, he might not be able to win over Qiao Meng.
Strong, but when the special ability is not used, there may be a chance to close the distance. Once used, there is always some worry about being suppressed.
This inexplicable feeling made him dare not use all means to challenge Qiao Meng. He was also afraid that he would lose completely. In this case, he would really have no confidence at all. Now, at least he can still survive
There is a trace of thought and hope, which will not make the heart despair.
But how could Sean, who was opposite him, know this? He still said arrogantly: "Stop bragging, I found out why you love acting so much. If he is really so strong, why didn't he come out in the last year?"
Sean's words really made Mengkai unable to answer. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but that he didn't know what to say at all. He didn't understand why Qiao Meng didn't show up at all in the last term.
He has never been heard of in any treasure appraisal competition, not even in the antiques appraisal world.
An unheard-of contestant suddenly appeared in the world's highest level treasure appraisal competition for youths. How could he not be so amazing that it was impossible to imagine whether he was truly a strong person?
Seeing that Meng Kai didn't speak, Sean also felt that the war of words was almost over and it was time to get down to business. Then he cast a disdainful look, stood up and prepared for the game.
"Okay, both parties are finally ready, please press the red button." The host stood on the stage, and the spotlight hit him at the moment he spoke and then dispersed.
Now the spotlight falls on Meng Kai and Sean respectively, as if they are the only two people left in the entire field at this moment, and the scene looks quiet, like an ultimate showdown.
Their actions were unexpectedly consistent. In this round, Mengkai first conducted the appraisal of the treasure, and Sean asked the questions. Both parties were doing their own things, seemingly not interfering with each other, but the eye contact never stopped.
This kind of quickness between enemies and friends is indeed worth appreciating.
The first treasure that appeared was an oil painting. It seemed to be quite old, at least it must have been completed in the 19th century. The colors were more varied and the brushwork was very mature. It can be seen that he was definitely a master-level writer.
It depicts a scene that looks like a sunrise. A red sun appears in the picture, which is very conspicuous.
In fact, if anyone who knows painting knows the origin of this painting, it is impossible for a master like Meng Kai to not understand it. The only thing that troubles him is to identify the authenticity, because if it is fake, it will definitely
If there were any flaws in his answers, it would be easy to lose points, but now he still doesn't plan to use his special abilities.
Although it was true that his opponent was Sean, he felt that it would be too early to use his special ability in the first round. Not only would it consume a lot of money, but it would also be easy for players from other teams to spot the clues.
Because among the top eight teams, he is not the only one with special abilities. Once he is observed to have a way to deal with or restrain himself, it will be difficult to continue the next game.
Since you don’t need special abilities, you can only rely on experience and unique identification techniques to judge. The most difficult thing to distinguish in this world is indeed the two words "true" and "false". Many times, they are confused, resulting in
It is not uncommon for a matter that was originally simple to answer to become complicated, to the point where it can no longer be true or false.
"Are Monet's oil paintings real or fake?" Meng Kai began to get entangled. Five minutes was actually very urgent, especially for identifying such works.
For example, if they are some antiques that are very old, it is easy to say that many features can be used. However, oil paintings are still more than a hundred years ago, so they are easy to be copied. Sometimes it is difficult to truly reproduce them without using special techniques.
distinguish it.
But it’s not without a solution. You can also make judgments based on the material changes on the picture, as well as the smell, touch, and color expression. What’s more important is the artist’s painting technique, because everyone’s habits are different.
, even in the re-enactment, it is impossible to completely put aside personal colors. Two people will never become one person, only two people.
"If it's fake, there must be a flaw. It's not Monet himself. If you want to be him, there will be a difference. I have to calm down." Mengkai took a deep breath. One minute passed, and in his mind
He glanced at countless pieces of information, trying to get something he could use from it. After grasping the key points, his eyes immediately became sharp.
On the other side, Sean was also reading the description of the painting in the information. The most important thing was that he saw the word "real" on it, which meant that the painting was real. At this time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to have something.
He had some thoughts, and then glanced in the direction of Meng Kai, his expression looked very cunning.
"Hey, look, that guy seems to be harboring some bad thoughts." Baidu kept looking at Sean, so he said to Qiao Meng and the others.
"Haha, I believe Mengkai can handle it. No matter what his opponent thinks, he will never lose twice. No one can make him lose twice except me." Qiao Meng expressed his high trust in his team members.
, but at the same time he also showed great confidence. As a captain, he is qualified, or can be said to be very good.
"I've known you for such a long time, so it's okay to listen to what you said this time." Xiaowen was also happy for Mengkai for Qiao Meng's trust, which showed that the person she liked was indeed capable.
"It sounds like I usually don't speak well." Qiao Meng smiled helplessly and continued to watch the situation on the court without saying anything more.
Five minutes passed, and Meng Kai finally confirmed that the first painting was authentic.
The name of this work is "Sunrise Impression". It was Monet's controversial painting at the time, and it was also the most important reason for the emergence of the term Impressionism.
The painting depicts the scene of the port at sunrise in the hazy morning mist. In terms of color, it is composed of lavender, reddish, blue-gray and orange-yellow.
Facing this painting, the first thing that catches the eye is the vibrant red sun, which rises slowly with a wisp of orange-yellow waves in the sea water, vividly reflecting the sense of tranquility.
The sea water, sky, and scenery are intertwined and integrated under his relaxed style of writing. There are three boats on it, which represent near, middle, and far respectively. It can be clearly compared that the three boats are due to the distance.
, and become gradually blurred by the fog.
Some buildings, ports, cranes, masts and other objects in the distance are also looming in the morning light, and all these scenes were painted by the painter Monet looking out of the window.
In the painting, there are scattered brush strokes, which can be described as a wanton expression technique. The word "chaos" is used to reflect the hazy morning fog. For the Salon Academic School, which was always orthodox at that time, this was almost equivalent to
"Rebellious" art is not recognized and is ostracized and ridiculed by many people.
But time has proven that this painting is the dividing point in the art world, and it is also Monet's great contribution to art. He will beneficially promote the innovation of art techniques and conceptual changes in the future. Without his appearance, perhaps art
The development of the world is still stagnant, and we don’t know how many years it will take before someone dares to make a breakthrough.
People who take the lead are always great. They dare to fight against the current era and work hard to transform it. This is a manifestation of high value. It can be seen that the value of this painting is very high. Meng Kai valued it at 300 million
US dollars, this is still a conservative estimate.
