Chapter 1272 Two "Residence in Fuchun Mountains"
Jesse Cheng said: "Lin Wanqiu admires your house in Shudu very much, especially the layout of the old mansion and underground library. He said that there are very few in the world now. See the design with its own aquarium , and at the same time full of humanistic atmosphere, very suitable for the temperament of the heroine..."
"She is not trying to take advantage of me, Sui Huaxuan, is she?" Zhou Zhi was frightened when he heard this, and gave Lin Wanqiu a few words of peace of mind. Can I still have something good that my sister-in-law has been thinking about?
“That’s the ancestral home of my parents! I won’t change it!”
“No, no,” Jesse said with a smile, “I just want to borrow your place as the heroine’s residence. , take some outdoor shots.”
"Oh, luckily the decoration work was stopped during the Food and Drinks Festival!" Zhou Zhi said: "Then I will call back later to tell them not to rush to reinstall, and wait until your team goes over to take a look."
"There is no rush. I heard from the housekeeper that these are Zhou Shengqi's collections. Some of the collections are very precious. Please introduce them to us."
"Butler?" Zhou Zhi was a little troubled by Jesse. stupid.
“Ah, that’s the guy who likes to wear a cardigan, capital cloth shoes, small eyes and a crew cut,” Jesse said as he went to the countryside and followed the local customs: “Aren’t you the housekeeper here?”
"Ah ? Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi couldn't stop laughing: "He is not a housekeeper, he is Ma Ye, a big collector in Beijing. Not all the things here are mine, there are half of his things in the library behind. ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to have a look."
Zhou Zhi's collection in the capital is mainly inherited from Mr. Wang, including his famous Ming and Qing furniture, as well as the bronzes, porcelain, etc. that were transferred last time. Shanzi, hanging screen, seat screen, guqin, etc.
Calligraphy and painting here mainly preserves the calligraphy and paintings of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty and modern painters. Zhou Zhi basically brought the ancient calligraphy and painting to Suihuaxuan, where Zhou Zhi collected calligraphy and painting, books, inscriptions, embroidery, etc. place.
Porcelain is available in both places. The main ones here are from the Qing Dynasty, including the third generation porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, Jiadao Tongguang fine porcelain, the modern Zhushan Bayou porcelain of the Republic of China, Jianguo porcelain and Mao porcelain.
The porcelain before the Ming Dynasty was also sent to Suihuaxuan by Zhou Zhi.
Of course, this does not mean that the porcelain here is not valuable. On the contrary, there were no official kilns before the Ming Dynasty. The price of high-quality Kangxi official kiln porcelain is not comparable to that of the Hutian kiln, Yaozhou kiln and many other small kilns in the Song Dynasty. Only the five major Song kilns Only high-quality porcelain is qualified to compete with it.
It’s mainly a collection issue.
Jessie Cheng was short of money in the mainland for a while, and he was more optimistic about the real estate in Xindao. With the arrangement of the real estate consultant, he prepared to clear out the assets in the capital, but he was not really short of money.
And exchanging ten sets of courtyard houses for four sets of ancient Huizhou houses is really a good deal in Zhou Zhi's eyes.
One can rise to sky-high prices in a few decades, but sky-high prices also come with a price. Compared with "priceless treasures", they are still a notch behind.
It was indeed a pity, but Zhou Zhi was still prepared to lobby Jesse to return these things if he had the opportunity.
Of course, talking about this with Jesse Cheng now is a bit superficial, so it’s not the time yet.
In Zhou Zhi's impression, Jesse Cheng likes luxury cars and luxury watches, because the magazines placed by Zhao Xing in the film and television city all write about these.
But now that they got in touch, Zhou Zhi discovered that Jesse Cheng was actually quite interested in traditional Chinese culture and artwork.
That's good, Zhou Zhi is determined to suit his liking and attract Jesse's interest in Chinese cultural relics, which then escalates to concern, and finally to protection. This itself also echoes the theme of the film to be shot this time.
De Mian Tang’s most impressive collection is Ming and Qing furniture. Zhou Zhi told Jesse Cheng about Ming and Qing furniture.
The materials used by master craftsmen are often not defined by the rareness or commonness of wood. In their eyes, these are all "materials" with equal status.
The master craftsman in the Forbidden City likes to use boxwood and red sandalwood to match. Boxwood will turn golden yellow after being used for a long time, and red sandalwood will turn purple-black after being used for a long time. Both have very high hardness and texture. Very fine and can withstand the most delicate knife work.
There are currently two large pieces in the house that use this kind of craftsmanship. One is a large red sandalwood table inlaid with boxwood and the Eight Immortals, and the other is a boxwood and red sandalwood painting table with ten thousand characters pattern.
Both of these things were bought from Director Li when he bought the house. They are also some of the things Zhou is proud of in this house, because they were not "bought" from Mr. Wang. ", he has his own merit.
This mentality is funny, but I couldn’t help but feel so proud when Zhou Zhi introduced these big items.
Director Li Hanxiang is already a has-been director from Hong Kong and Taiwan. In the past few years, he even took on romantic films in order to pay off debts, which ruined his reputation. However, his films "Under the Curtain" and "The Burning of Old Summer Palace" are indeed They are two monuments in the history of Chinese film.
After Zhou Zhi carefully introduced red sandalwood and boxwood to Jicheng and Lu Siyi, he then explained to Jicheng: "It is difficult for ordinary people to judge the age and quality of classical furniture, but this does not matter, like For a man like Jesse who is not short of money, the best way to buy is to participate in auctions, and only buy those that are passed down. The auction items are inherited and collected in an orderly manner. ”
“Such items have been appraised and recognized by players of all ages, so the probability of errors is extremely low, and what’s funny is that even the Qianlong Imperial Collection like “Shiqu Baoji” is very rare. There is still the possibility of fakes in the collection catalogue. ”
"Emperor Qianlong? Collecting fakes?" Jesse Cheng felt that his knowledge had been refreshed today.
“Of course, there are many fakes inside.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “The most famous one is “Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains”. An ink painting on paper painted by the contemporary painter Huang Gongwang in Fuyang, Hangzhou. After this painting was completed, it changed hands several times, and he lost two parts of his body due to the burning of the painting. It was later acquired by Emperor Qianlong. I couldn't put it down, and I wrote fifty times on it. It was so dense that I had nowhere to write."
"But I didn't know that this painting was a later copy rather than an original. In the second year after I got this painting, people started to write. Another picture of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" appeared. One of the two pictures is authentic and the other is fake, but they are so similar that even Qianlong, who has a lot of research on ancient paintings, can't tell the difference. "
"In fact, the first volume of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" obtained by Qianlong was fake. Later generations called it the 'Ziming Volume'. The volume was copied by a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty."
"And The original work is called the 'Wuyongshi Volume'"
"No. Although this was the research result of later generations, Qianlong firmly refused to admit it. While he firmly declared that the real useless master scroll was a 'fake', he also bought this so-called 'fake' at a high price. The reason is that although this painting is not authentic, it is pretty good. This is called being stubborn with your mouth but being honest with your body."
"Hahahaha..." Both of the people listening to the story found it interesting. Jesse was naughty by nature and immediately laughed and said, "If I were Qianlong, So he placed these two paintings in front of the ministers and asked them to Let's judge the authenticity and test their quality."
"Qianlong really did this." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "He held a banquet for the ministers to appreciate the paintings, and he wanted to publish them in two volumes. "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" inscription and postscript ”
"Huh?" Jesse Chengdu was dumbfounded: "You are more ruthless than me, and you still need to leave evidence?!"
