1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 401 Worried about falling into another trap
We had an authentic local dish for lunch.

Director Wang and Luo Tao both have a tacit understanding of each other, not talking about money, but about art.

"Mr. Luo, I have something to trouble you with."

"Oh? I don't know if there is anything else in Pingjiang that Director Wang can't solve."

Luo Tao was very cautious when talking to him, for fear of accidentally falling into the pit.

He smiled, raised his glass and drank another one with Luo Tao, and then said: "Mr. Luo is Mr. Zhang Boju's proud student, and he is also the master of his calligraphy and painting appraisal skills. ... I would like to ask you to give us a slap, I don't know. May I?"

With these words, the big stone that had been hanging in Luo Tao's heart was relieved.

I'm afraid that Director Wang doesn't have the courage of the Director.

I also want to get some money from Luo Tao to repair the garden, so that he can achieve some political achievements.

Regardless of money, we are still good friends.

"To be honest, Director Wang, Mr. Zhang and I haven't studied the art for several years. We are still relatively young at this level and may not be able to handle such a big responsibility."

You still have to be modest and cautious about this matter, don't really mess it up at that time, it's a trivial matter to be ashamed of yourself, if you get Mr. Zhang's name, it will be a big deal.

To be honest, Luo Tao's current appraisal level is completely inferior to those of the seniors.

But let’s say this ugly thing first, just to be on the safe side so that no accident happens.

It would be nice to have a step down.

Director Wang did not take these modest words seriously at all. He had his own destiny in mind.

"Mr. Luo, you are too modest. Who in the antique shop in the capital doesn't know your name, Mr. Luo?"

Luo Tao felt quite at ease when he boasted a few words about it, so he agreed with the momentum.

"That's great. With your participation, the whole story of that painting will be revealed. Come, let's toast Mr. Luo and thank him for his help."

These people have been accompanying Luo Tao and Director Wang to eat, and they are all cautious and do not express random opinions.

I pricked up my ears and listened to the leader's conversation.

What Director Wang said was really a very difficult matter.

Just over a month ago, when they were cleaning up the cultural relics stored in major gardens in Pingjiang, they discovered a painting signed by Dong Yuan among the debris.

Dong Yuan (date of birth and death unknown), courtesy name Shuda, was born in Zhongling, Hongzhou (now Zhongling Township, Jinxian County, JX Province).

A master of painting in the Five Dynasties, the originator of southern landscape painting, and together with Li Cheng and Fan Kuan, he is known as the "Three Great Masters of the Northern Song Dynasty".

During the Five Dynasties period, he served as the deputy envoy of Beiyuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Dong Beiyuan" in the world.

It had a profound impact on the ancient Chinese painting world.Since the Five Dynasties are far away from the present day and the paper has not been preserved well, there are not many of his handed down works.

There are only a few collections in the country now, including "Picture of Xiaoxiang", Palace Museum; "Picture of Waiting for Ferry at Xiajing Mountain Pass", Liao Provincial Museum; "Picture of Summer Mountain", Shanghai Museum.

When Luo Tao heard that Director Wang said that the painting was Dong Yuan's, he was very excited. Appreciating famous paintings is an extremely enjoyable thing.

The reason why he asked Luo Tao to appraise this painting was to try his luck.

Prior to this, their experts from the Pingjiang Cultural Relics Bureau had already appraised the painting, and the result was that it was a forgery by later generations.

Because this painting is called "Snow Appreciation Picture", this painting is also very famous in the history of Chinese painting.

This painting brought together many masters of painting in the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time, such as Dong Yuan, Gao Taichong, Zhou Wenju, Zhu Cheng, Xu Chongsi and others.

"Snow Appreciation Picture" was not painted by one person, but by them together.

Guo Ruoxu, a painting critic in the Northern Song Dynasty, mentioned this painting in his book "Pictures and Knowledge".

"Gao Chong is the master of the ancients; the courtiers, the Ministry of Law, and Sizhu are the masters of Zhou Wenju; the pavilions and palaces are the masters of Zhu Cheng; the snow bamboo cold forest is the master of Dong Yuan; the ponds and fish are the masters of Xu Chongsi. The completion of the picture is nothing more than a masterpiece."

Since then, "Snow Appreciation Picture" has disappeared.Based on the above two points, one is that it was not painted by one person, and the other is that it has long since ceased to exist in the world.

Pingjiang experts concluded from this that it was imitated by later generations, which is fair to say.

But before seeing the real thing, Luo Tao didn't dare to speak out.

After finishing the drinking party here, Luo Tao returned to the guest house.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Lin scolded him: "What's going on? I know how to drink every day. Can we go out without drinking?"

Luo Tao didn't argue with her. He was still thinking about the painting in his mind and just sat on the chair.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, don't you listen? Don't sit there, go and wash up quickly, you're all smelling of alcohol."

She pushed Luo Tao.

Only then did Luo Tao speak, "It doesn't smell like wine. Please give me a glass of water. I've met a happy event today."

Zhu Lin didn't believe that he would encounter any happy events when he went out, so he rolled his eyes at him and poured him some water.

Little October looked at her father and asked, "Dad, tell me, I like to hear happy things the most."

Luo Tao looked at Little October, who was writing, and coaxed him, "Go, kid, what do you know? Hurry up and write your words. If you can't complete the task assigned by your mother today, be careful of your butt."

"Hmph! You just don't know the heart of a good person, so I don't want to deal with you yet."

He turned his head and wrote seriously.

"Give!"

Don't mention how fierce Zhu Lin was at this time.

This sound frightened Luo Tao, and he carefully took the cup of very cold tea.

Then she added: "By the way, after you left, Director Wu called me."

Luo Tao wanted to drink water by himself and not talk to her, but these words forced him to talk to Zhu Lin. Unwillingly, he raised his head and asked her: "What's the matter?"

Since the success of "Life", Wu Tianming and Xi Film Studio's influence across the country has been increasing day by day.

I've been shooting a lot of movies in the past two years. I shot several movies last year, and I heard I'm going to make a few more this year.

This time some new directors were also hired, such as Huang Jianxin, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others.

"It said that their factory wanted to film "The Pointer" written by you."

Wu Tianming said at the beginning of the year that he would not make a film this year, but now he wants to do it again.

"Oh, I know. I'll go down and call him and ask. You watch the little guy write well."

The couple also took great pains in the education of Xiao Shiyue. They were so far away from home, and they did not forget to assign him homework and supervise his studies.

"understood."

Luo Tao went downstairs and called Wu Tianming at the front desk.

After asking, I found out that it was not him who filmed it, but Director Chen.

After thinking for a while, Luo Tao agreed. He had only one request for them, and that was not to make random changes.

"The Pointer" is a very profound novel written by Luo Tao. Although it has the writing style of Wen Chaogong, he also gave this novel a slight reinvention.

PS: The current data of this book is too bad.I asked the editor again today, and she said that there are now more than 300 students pursuing it.

Hongye would like to ask everyone to give this book a ticket per person per day, okay!
