Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 676
Chapter 678
The appraisal continued, and Xiao Ran opened another exquisite brocade box.
What immediately appeared in front of him was a golden brocade embroidered with the pattern of dragons and phoenixes.
Xiao Ran looked at the situation in the brocade box, then reached into the brocade box and gently lifted the golden brocade.
The treasure covered under the brocade is a thick scroll of calligraphy and painting, tied with a golden ribbon.
Due to its age, this scroll has long turned apricot yellow, and the shaft heads at both ends are a little bad.
Fortunately, the reel body is not badly preserved.
Except for some festering edges, the main part is largely well preserved.
On the surface of this scroll, there are some Chinese characters written impressively.
“Luoshen Futu, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Gu Kaizhi
” Although he already knew that this was the famous “Luoshen Futu”, but at this time, Xiao Ran was still very excited, and his eyes instantly lit up like a searchlight.
Not only him, but also several old men in Beijing stood up in unison, all of them excited.
The next moment, Elder Jin’s voice that was so excited that it trembled suddenly came from the earphones.
“Xiao Ran, you kid must be careful, this is the “Luoshen Futu”, the ancestor of Chinese painting!”
“Although this is not the true work of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is only a white sketch of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is also a national treasure among national treasures
” “More importantly, this is a relatively complete “Luoshen Fu Map” in existence, which has extremely high historical and cultural research value!”
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: ”
A few old men, don’t worry, I will add 10,000 care, and I will never damage this national treasure-level work of art!”
“In order to exchange for this volume of Southern Song Bai’s “Luoshen Futu”, I took out a work by Rembrandt one-on-one, and then said to move the Frier Art Museum!”
“According to the current market conditions, Rembrandt’s painting is worth at least $50 million!”
Saying that, he took out a new pair of gloves and replaced the one he was wearing.
Several old men in Beijing were taken aback by his words.
Immediately afterwards, Elder Shan said with disdain:
“As far as those paintings of Rembrandt are concerned, where can they be compared with the Chinese painting ancestor Gu Kaizhi’s “Luoshen Futu”, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes!”
“Those guys in the Freer Museum, who can promise you trading conditions, are definitely blinded by lard!”
“Hahaha”
Several old men all laughed and nodded one by one.
Xiao Ran was the same, happy.
After a few jokes, he carefully reached into the brocade box and took the heavy “Luoshen Futu” scroll out of the brocade box!
Immediately afterwards, he gently placed the scroll on the table, and then pulled the ribbon that tied the scroll.
At this time, Elaine, who was also wearing gloves, had stepped forward and prepared to assist him in unfolding the five-meter-seven-meter-long scroll.
The next moment, Xiao Ran slowly unfolded this ancient painting that was famous in the annals of history.
At the same time, he was also introducing Elaine to them.
“Luoshen Futu” is a representative work of Gu Kaizhi, a great painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in ancient China, with a history of more than 1,600 years, and is one of the top ten famous paintings in ancient China
” “Of course, the volume of “Luoshen Futu” in front of me is only a white sketchbook of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it also has a history of eight or nine hundred years
” “This painting is a magnificent long scroll composed of multiple story complexes, similar to comic books, and integrated together””
The whole volume is divided into three parts, meticulous and layered depictions
, the sincere and pure love story of Cao Zhi and Luoshen” “The characters in the painting are arranged appropriately, naturally alternating, overlapping, and exchanging in different time and space, and in the depiction of mountain and river scenes, they all show a kind of spatial beauty
” “In the history of Chinese painting, “Luoshen Futu” is considered to be the first painting adapted from literary works
” “And “Luoshenfu” is an extremely beautiful Fu text created by Cao Zhi, famous in the history of Chinese literature!
As he spoke, Xiao Ran had already unfolded the scroll in his hand.
With his actions, a beautiful and moving romantic love story with lingering emotions slowly appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
The first thing to show is a beautiful view of dusk.
At sunset, Cao Zhi led his entourage from the capital to the fiefdom, stopping to rest when passing the shores of Luoshui.
On the calm water, the peerless and affectionate Roselle clothes are flowing, dynamic and calm, and come in waves.
On the willow bank, Cao Zhi leaned forward slightly, stretching out his hands to block the entourage.
The entourage’s gazes were dull, and Cao Zhi’s eyes were burning at the beautiful Luoshen on the water in front of him
, although this picture was already apricot yellow, and even a little blurry.
But the romance revealed in the painting, as well as Cao Zhi’s surprise when he saw Luoshen, are extremely vivid and jump on the paper.
Looking at this scene in the painting, Xiao Ran and Elaine were instantly attracted and admired intoxicated.
Several old men staying in the conference room of the Forbidden City were staring at the high-definition TV screen and watching intently.
After a while, everyone woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the scene resounded with admiration.
“Oh my God! This painting is so beautiful, the characters in the painting seem to come to life!
“The content of this painting is so romantic, I have never seen such a Chinese painting before”
While admiring, Elaine and the girls were also excited.
They can all see that this is definitely a top-notch work of art, very precious, and the value must be very amazing!
If it wasn’t the top artwork, Xiao Ran couldn’t look at it!
Before the words fell, Elder Jin’s excited voice suddenly came.
“Xiao Ran, there is no problem with this white sketch of the “Luoshen Futu” in the Southern Song Dynasty” “There are two volumes of copies of the “Luoshen Futu” in the Forbidden City, we are familiar
with it” “Compared with the two, there is no difference in the content of this Southern Song Dynasty white depiction
” Immediately after, Shan Lao immediately continued:
”
Congratulations, Xiao Ran, you kid has made another great achievement and got back a priceless treasure!”
“Just this white sketch of the Southern Song Dynasty’s “Luoshen Futu”, placed in any museum in China, can be regarded as a treasure of the town hall”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but laugh proudly.
“Gotta go! With the appraisal conclusions of several of you, I will accept this volume of “Luoshen Futu
” “It won’t be long before this treasure will be publicly displayed in my private museum for all Chinese people to enjoy!”
Before the words fell, Elder Shan nodded.
“We look forward to that day coming as soon as possible, it is a great thing to celebrate
” “I have to say, the location of your private museum is too good, our two museums can communicate more in the future
” “And our national museum, it should be our three museums!”
Mr. Qiu hurriedly interjected.
“Okay, please advise me then,”
Xiao Ran replied with a smile and a nod.
Saying that, he continued to unfold the long scroll in his hand, intoxicated to admire the lingering love of man and god in the painting.
Elaine and Fang Yufei, who were standing beside them, as well as Pierre and others, were deeply attracted by the content of the painting and admired it intoxicatedly.
Several old men in Beijing admired and helped with the appraisal at the same time.
“Luoshen Futu” is too long, and there are many people in the exhibition hall, and it can’t be opened at all.
Therefore, Xiao Ran did not fully open this long scroll, only opened less than a third of it, for appreciation and identification.
After the identification was correct, he carefully re-rolled the long scroll, tied it with ribbon, and put it back in the rosewood box!
The remaining two-thirds of the part, although he did not expand appreciation and appraisal, but Xiao Ran knew very well in his heart.
For the rest of the painting, there is no problem, and the Freer Museum does not play any tricks.
After putting away the “Luoshen Fu Map”, Xiao Ran opened another brocade box next to him.
Packed in this brocade box is still a work of calligraphy and painting, and it is also a long scroll.
This is the “Lock Scroll Scroll” made by the suspected painting Saint Yan Liben, which is more than two meters long, and it is also a national treasure-level work of art!
The appearance of “Lock Scroll” once again caused a commotion.
Especially the few old men in Beijing were even more excited.
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he carefully took out the “Lock Scroll”, slowly opened it, and began to appreciate and identify.
Although this “Lock Scroll Scroll” is a copy of the Yuan Dynasty, it does not lose the style and charm of the original work, which is particularly precious!
As for the identification results, you don’t need to ask!
Next, Xiao Ran successively looked at the rest of the antique artifacts and works of art that the Freer Art Museum took out for trading, and one of them fell.
Among them, there are the most complete existing national treasures such as Shang Xiangzun, Tang Jinyinping, and the Mirror of the Horse Figure.
There is nothing wrong with these antique artworks, and every single one is unmistakable.
The subsequent transaction also went very smoothly.
After the deal with the Freer Art Museum was completed, it was time for lunch.
Instead of leaving the Philadelphia Museum of Art, everyone had lunch at the museum dining area.
After lunch, trading continues.
In the following time, Xiao Ran made a series of transactions with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery, as well as MOMA!
In addition to these three top museums, there are the Rothschild Family Foundation, as well as art dealers from Griffin and Bill Gates, among others.
Of those dealers, only Gates’ art dealers traded in cash.
Bill Gates spent 120 million US dollars to buy two oil paintings and a sculpture from Xiao Ran, both of which were stolen antique works of art without owner!
Deals with several other top museums and foundations, as well as with Griffin, brought Xiao Ran many of China’s top antique artworks.
Especially in the transaction with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of America, Xiao Ran only got more than 50 paintings and calligraphy works of various dynasties and generations!
The number of other antique artifacts and works of art such as porcelain is also quite amazing.
The deal with MOMA brought Xiao Ran more than a dozen works by famous Chinese modern and modern painters.
These include works by masters such as Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian, as well as Huang Binhong.
In the blink of an eye, it was around seven o’clock in the evening.
After completing all the transactions for the day and depositing all the exchanged Chinese antique artworks in the vault, Xiao Ran and they left the Philadelphia Museum of Art and returned to the hotel.
As soon as the motorcade left the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Sam’s voice came over the intercom.
“Sean, the Polish ambassador to the United States and the cultural counselor, this will be in the hotel lobby, waiting for you to go back
” “The Poles are very angry, they are constantly shouting and protesting, do you want to see those guys?”
“If you don’t plan to meet them, let’s go to the underground garage and take the special elevator upstairs”
Hearing the report, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but chuckle.
“No need to ask, the Poles must have come because of Raphael’s “Portrait of a Young Man” ”
They already know that this legendary painting of Raphael was taken away by the Metropolitan Museum and the National Gallery, so they are extremely angry!”
“For a while, they could only come to the hotel to find me to express protest and dissatisfaction!”
“I’d better meet these guys, their anger should not come at me, but should go to the US government to protest!”
“Some things still need to be clarified, I don’t want to be treated as an enemy by all Poles!”
“Hahaha”
Elaine and Fang Yufei, who were sitting in the car, both laughed.
At this moment, Sam’s voice came from the intercom again.
“Okay, Sean, let’s go to the main entrance of the hotel, I’ll let the guys pay attention to security
