Chapter 276
"Comrade, let me correct you. It's not that you can't buy good things in Tucheng, but that you can't buy them in the market!"
"If you want to buy good things, they are usually introduced by acquaintances, and they are all privately traded, and they will not be placed in the store!"
"If you are interested in any aspects, you can tell me. If there is something good, I will let you know."
said the boss.
"Thank you for your advice, but I'm not in a hurry to buy. I'm just here to see the name. If you have a chance, bring back one or two things you like. If you don't have a chance, don't force it."
After Zhao Aimin said hello to the boss, he left.
He now knows that there are circles in the literary and entertainment world.
Insiders have the same trading methods as insiders, while outsiders can only buy fake goods or ordinary handicrafts.
And Wenwan is not a necessity for Zhao Aimin, it's fine if you can't buy it, there is no need to get acquainted with people in the circle for this.
Thinking that I have already come anyway, it is better to take a stroll before leaving, so I went directly to the place where the park sells literature and entertainment.
This is a flat piece of land in the park, and there are many stalls on the ground.
There are all kinds of items on the stalls, and the stall owners are either sitting or standing, some are soliciting business, and some are bargaining with the guests.
Zhao Aimin turned around for a while, he found it very interesting.
Because he found that most of the items here are worthless fakes, and there are many "trusts".
Sometimes there is a group of people around a stall, and it looks like there are many customers, but in fact there is only one real customer, and the others are "Tuo".
"It's too deceitful." Zhao Aimin shook his head.
This place in Tucheng is well-known, but only insiders can buy good things here.
As for those tourists who come here for fame, or half-understood literary and entertainment lovers, they will only suffer and be fooled here!
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a painting scroll on a stall.
He feels that this scroll is a bit old, it should be something from a long time ago.
"System, check it out!" Zhao Aimin said silently in his heart.
Soon, a line of virtual small characters appeared on the top of the scroll, on which was written the age of the scroll, and it was indeed an ancient item.
Judging from the age alone, it can be called an antique.
I just don't know what the artistic value of the scroll is.
If it has artistic value, then this scroll is considered a good antique.
"Comrade, do you want to buy a painting? My painting is made by a master in the Ming Dynasty. If you have a destiny with it, I will sell it to you!"
The stall owner, in his 30s, with parted hair, noticed Zhao Aimin looking at the painting, and immediately greeted him.
"Boss, show me its content, and I'll talk about the style of this painting." Zhao Aimin said.
"I can tell you are an expert just by listening to you!" The stall owner unfolded the scroll and continued to brag.
When the scroll was unfolded, Zhao Aimin felt a little disappointed.
Because the painting is damaged in several places, although the damage is not the main place, but the appearance is damaged after all.
But this is not important, what is important is that from the quality of the painting, it is mediocre.
This kind of painting is estimated to be drawn by any painter who can draw it.
For antiques, its price is not only related to the age, but also related to its own value.
For example, objects that can reflect the artistic style of the time, or objects that are historical events at that time, are very valuable.
Otherwise, the price will be greatly reduced.
For example, some objects were even left over 2000 years ago, but because they have no artistic value or historical value, they will not have any collection value, and their price will not be high.
Conversely, if the artistic value is very high, the price will definitely be very high even for works from previous years.
The painting on the street stall now is unremarkable, and the Ming Dynasty was not too early, so Zhao Aimin didn't dare to be interested at all.
"This is a good thing. This is Master Xu's work. I want it!"
At this time, a middle-aged man came to the side and said.
"You have a good eye, you are an expert at a glance!" The stall owner praised and said: "But this young man saw this painting first, so we should sell it to him first!"
"Isn't this Master Xu's work? I don't think the style is quite similar in a few places. Look here, it's a little different from Master Xu's work."
Another old man with glasses came over.
"This is the work of Master Xu in his early years, so some parts are similar, and some parts are not." The stall owner explained.
"Since it is an early work, the value is low... What price do you plan to sell it for?" someone asked.
"My paintings are only sold to those who are destined. If there is destiny, only this amount is required. If there is no destiny, I will not sell it no matter how high the price is!" The stall owner stretched out a slap and shook it.
"Five hundred?" Someone among the onlookers asked.
"Five hundred? You are insulting Master Xu!" The stall owner's face changed: "This is five thousand!"
"Five thousand? Such an expensive ghost would buy it!" said the person before.
"You are wrong to say that. Master Xu is one of the important painters in the Ming Dynasty. Although his early works are not as artistic as those in the later mature period, they can reflect the change of the master's style, so they are more valuable as historical materials."
"Together, I think the master's early works are of high value!"
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with a goatee said.
The onlookers talked to each other, some praised it and disliked it, but most of them praised it, and those who disliked it were just talking about the master's early works.
Zhao Aimin sneered in his heart, he knew that these people were all trustees!
The point of trust is to confirm that this work is the authentic work of Master Xu.
As long as it is the authentic work of Master Xu, no matter how bad the painting is, it is still worth money.
One of them, "Tuo", made a lot of sense. The artistic value of the painting is not high, but the value of historical materials is high, and it is also valuable.
However, this is based on the premise that the painting is the authentic work of Master Xu.
Since the age of this painting is true, it is indeed a work of the Ming Dynasty, so it is difficult for a layman or a half-baked lover to identify whether it is the authentic work of Master Xu.
However, Zhao Aimin could identify it, even without the help of the system, it was not an early work of a master at all.
Anyone who is called a master is a genius.
Master Xu was a veritable master in the Ming Dynasty, and the characteristics of his paintings are very obvious, that is, they are full of aura.
Even in Master Xu's early works, or even the drafts made by Master Xu when he was studying painting, there are at least one or two highlights.
Only in this way can one be called a genius.
But the work in front of him was lifeless, without any brilliant features.
"System, identify this painting."
Out of curiosity, Zhao Aimin wanted to know which unknown artist did it, so he asked the system to identify it in his heart.
