"Wang Fu Ma can't come out, and his best friends on the way to calligraphy and painting can come and try it."

Wu Haogu carefully cleaned up his painting tools as he spoke, "When they can't come out, my paintings will be valuable, even if it's a piece of paper." ”

"A piece of paper?"

Monk Fu exclaimed: "The Huang family is rich and Xu Xiyeyi is just like that, right?" ”

The Huang family is rich and noble, and it mostly refers to the works of Huang Zhen and Huang Juhuan father and son (Huang Juhuan also has two brothers, who are also members of the Huang family's wealthy faction, but they died early and left few works), while Xu Xi Yeyi is the work of Xu Xi, a great painter of the Tang Dynasty. Unlike the Huang family father and son, who like flowers, Xu Xi's paintings focus on the outline of ink bones, light colors, and a chic style, which can be called the Huang family's wealth and nobility at the end of the Five Dynasties and the early years of the Great Song Dynasty. And the authentic works of Huang Juhuan and Xu Xi are now sold for thousands and 10,000 yuan in the Panlou Market.

"This martial artist's realism is not under the wealth and wildness, but just a thousand pieces of paper...... Unless ......" Guo Jing looked at Wu Haogu and smiled silently.

Wan Wan is not a small amount of money, and it is almost impossible for a living painter to reach a sky-high price.

Of course, the high price that painters can't get is not a problem to replace it with big bureaucrats like Wang Xu, Cai Jing, Su Dongpo, and Huang Tingjian.

In the calligraphy and painting shops of the Song Dynasty, the works of calligraphers and painters and the works of scholars and bureaucrats who were proficient in painting and calligraphy were not the same price.

On the one hand, the status of calligraphers and painters cannot be compared with that of aristocratic bureaucrats, and their works are naturally undervalued; On the other hand, calligraphers and painters make a living by selling paintings and writing, and the supply of works is large, while the aristocratic bureaucrats do not rely on selling paintings and writing to make a living, and the supply of works is small, so it is naturally easy to speculate.

Guo Jing said "unless", that is, unless Wu Haogu went to Zhongzhong Jinshi, it was unlikely that his paintings would be sold for a thousand pieces of paper while he was alive.

It's just that Guo Jing doesn't know that the "Mulberry Family Wazi Map" in front of him shows all the skills of Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu's real expertise in hyper-realist oil paintings in another life! Although he is not a master painter, he still has some real kung fu. As long as he can get together the materials for making oil paintings (the painting tools are easy to get around, but the difficult ones are paint, oil and suitable canvases), the portraits or scenes he paints can be copied by Wang Shu and others!

Because the lines and outlines can be copied, but the rich and realistic colors unique to Western oil painting cannot be imitated by the Chinese painters of the Northern Song Dynasty - this is not to say that the oil painting technique is higher than that of Chinese painting, but the two sides are in different systems, so it is difficult to imitate each other, even if they can't be copied.

At that time, Wu Haogu's paintings will have enough scarcity and research value—Eastern and Western paintings are not the same system, but they can learn from each other. For everyone like Zhao Ji, Wang Xu, and Mi Fu, what is Wan Wan?

And once these people ask for a high price, then someone will definitely follow suit, and then Wu Haogu's paintings will be "fried".

The value of this work of art is largely "fried"! Wu Haogu, who came from later generations, naturally knew this way.

Therefore, he must not go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to set up a stall to sell paintings...... If according to Monk Fu's price, a hundred pieces of paper are sold out, and only 10,000 pieces of paper are sold, and with a hundred pages of ultra-realistic brushes or oil paintings circulating in the market, Wu Haogu will not be able to sell a single paper of 10,000 paintings in his lifetime.

And the "Mulberry Tile Picture" that Wu Haogu is creating is also not sold for money, and it is to be given to Gao Yu as a thank you gift.

It's not to shoot the farts of the high-ranking guys, but to raise the value...... If you want to collect money, it would be good to be able to ask for hundreds of dollars, which invisibly set the price for "ultra-realistic work". And if others want to buy it again, Wu Haogu can't refuse, otherwise it will be too offensive.

Therefore, Wu Haogu would give the painting to Gao Yu, which was actually given to Wang Xu, and asked Wang Shu to do publicity for himself.

At the same time, he would tell Gao Yu that he was going to the Dailou Academy in the south of the city to "work hard" (in fact, he went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to squint). In this way, he was no longer a merchant selling paintings, but a scholar...... The scholar is a high-minded person, and he doesn't like things that are blocked, so he should not sell paintings.

However, Wu Haogu does not sell his own "hyper-realistic paintings", which does not mean that he does not imitate other people's paintings to cheat money...... Oh, you can't say that he is a liar, he is now a scholar, can it be considered a deception?

Wu Dalang walked to the window and glanced out. Seeing that there were no idlers wandering downstairs, he closed the window and returned to his seat.

He lowered his voice and said, "Although my paintings will be a long time sooner or later, they are far away after all. If you want to quench your thirst, you can only fake it. ”

Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, and Monk Fu in the room all had their hearts beating faster when they heard this. No matter how expensive Wu Haogu's own paintings are, what does it have to do with them? But if Wu Haogu wants to fake the painting...... Then you have to have a good man and three gangs, after all, there is still counterfeiting after counterfeiting, and it is difficult for Wu Haogu to take care of it alone.

"Da Lang," asked Guo Jing, the eldest in the room, "whose painting do you want to make?" ”

"Paint the picture of the saint."

"Wu Daozi's paintings?"

Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, and Monk Fu couldn't help but look at each other, and they all secretly felt frightened. They originally thought that Wu Dalang would copy a few paintings of the Huang family's wealth to sell for money.

The Huang family is a standard courtyard painting, the market is very large, and the Wuhao ancient family also has two authentic paintings. With the authentic handiwork, it is easier to copy and copy. With Wu Haogu's ability, he should be able to make seven or eight "true" paintings.

"Da Lang, do you have the original in your hand?" Liu Wuji suddenly remembered something.

Counterfeiting of calligraphy and painting is divided into four categories: "adding and changing names", "splitting and packaging", "copying" and "imitation".

Among them, "adding and changing the name" refers to the use of the original calligraphy and painting works, such as changing "nameless" (no paragraph) to "famous" (the money of the famous artist), or changing the "nameless style" (non-famous family) to "the famous style" (famous family).

"Split and Assembled" is to divide the original painting into several sections and divide them into several independent works.

Copying is to copy a work with the technique of "pro" or "copy", and then make it old, add a name, and sometimes add an inscription - the text written in front of a book, tablet, calligraphy and painting is called "title"; The one written at the back is called "Ba", and the general name is "inscription". Inscriptions are also divided into three categories: author's inscriptions, simultaneous human inscriptions, and posterity's inscriptions. The inscription, like the paragraph, is the basis for identifying the authenticity of calligraphy and painting.

The three types of forgery methods of adding and changing names, "splitting and packaging" and "copying", are all indispensable to the original.

Only "imitation" does not need the original, because "imitation" is actually a kind of creation, which is to use the brushwork and painting style of a famous artist to create a new work, and then make it old, add famous items and inscriptions, and turn it into an ancient painting.

Among the four major types of painting and calligraphy counterfeiting methods, the most difficult is undoubtedly "imitation".

"There is no original," Wu Dalang's answer surprised Guo Jing, Liu Wuji, and Monk Fu again, "I plan to imitate Wu Daozi's real handwriting!" ”

"What's the hell!?"

"Imitation of the painting saint?"

"Dalang, are you serious?"

"Yes, imitate the portrait of the saint."

Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and Monk Fu exclaimed in unison, although the "boundary painting tower" displayed by Wu Dalang already has the style of a grandmaster, but Wu Daozi is good at characters, and he is good at Buddhism and Taoism.

"Da Lang, can you really draw people?" Guo Jing asked with some suspicion.

Figures are also a key point of ancient Chinese painting, in the so-called "Thirteen Departments of Painters", there are four subjects such as Buddha and Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor and King Daoxiang, King Kong Ghost God Arhat and Sushi Figures. However, there are not many painters who are really good at figures, from the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty to the present, that is, Zhao Guangfu, Wu Zongyuan, Wang Xu, Li Gonglin, Li Tang and a few others.

And Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty painted figures in white, which is almost a peak that is difficult to surpass! Wu Dalang's great-grandfather Wu Zongyuan imitated Wu Daozi's decades of practice, and he may not be able to imitate the characters of the painting saint, not to mention Wu Dalang, who is still shallow?

"Don't hide it from the third brother," Wu Dalang laughed, "What is good at painting portraits is so ancient!" ”

Wu Haogu specialized in oil painting at another art academy, and also studied hyperrealist oil painting with the masters of hyper-realistic oil painting, and body painting is one of the focuses of oil painting.

Although Wu Haogu in another life did not go too far on the road of oil painting for some reasons, but changed his career to become an original painter, his body painting skills are very solid.

If you want to compare "realism", that is, to paint likely, even Wu Daozi is not comparable to the hyperrealist style of later generations.

In addition, Wu Dalang has practiced hard in this life, which is the unique skill of their martial ancestors, and Wu Dalang already had Wu Zongyuan's five successes before he was replaced. Now it is a combination of the painting skills of the two worlds, and in terms of white depiction of the human body, it is no weaker than Wu Daozi and Wu Zongyuan - well, not a portrait, but a human body.

The clothes and belts of the characters painted by Wu Daozi are blown by the wind, and they have the momentum of dancing in the wind, so they are called "Wu Belt when the wind". The current Wu Haogu is still lacking in this regard, but if he wants to strip off the model's clothes and draw the human body, then Wu Daozi will definitely not be as good as Wu Haogu......

"Don't believe me, do you?" Wu Hao Gu looked at the three of them with puzzled expressions on their faces and smiled, "Then I'll draw a piece of paper for the three of you to appreciate first." ”

"But what do you draw?" Wu Haogu looked at the little monk with beautiful eyebrows in the room and said, "Why don't you draw a Fu monk first!" ”

Monk Fu was stunned, "Painting a poor monk?" ”

"Yes, quickly take off the monk's robe, a certain family wants a photo!"

The monk was taken aback, "Ah, do you still want to take off your clothes?" ”

Wu Haogu nodded seriously, "You don't need to take off naked, just take off a monk's robe." ”
