Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 601 Bless me
Because of Zhang Zhong's new book, "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" has re-entered the field of vision of ordinary people.

Many people are clamoring to go to the Forbidden City to see the original work, but the problem is that "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is not a cultural relic that is often exhibited.

As a picture scroll that has been preserved for nearly a thousand years, in order to prevent it from being damaged, it is usually only exhibited every few years.

The last time "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was exhibited was in 2020, which is the year before last.

And I don't know when it will be exhibited next time. It is conservatively estimated that it will take at least three years, maybe even longer.

And even if it is exhibited, it may not be the whole picture.

You can't see the real work, so you can only look at the pictures on the Internet for comfort.

Some people saw a business opportunity and made printed copies to sell, and many people really bought them.

The most famous high imitation is a Qing imitation.

This Qing imitation work has already sold for several million.

This time, taking advantage of the shareholder wind, the collectors put the painting up for auction again, and it sold for more than 200 million.

Although everyone knows that this painting is a forgery, it is very popular among collectors because of its unique colors, well-rounded and meticulous brushwork, rigorous details and high craftsmanship.

The collector who bought the painting for 200 million was a businessman himself. After he bought the painting, he built an exhibition hall in Yanjing, and put this imitation in the exhibition hall for people to appreciate.

Of course, it is not free to appreciate, and you need to pay ten yuan for admission to the museum.

When this incident first came out, some people were still laughing at this person, saying that his idea was too idealistic.

Who would pay to see a fake.

There are also enthusiastic netizens who settled accounts for this businessman.

There are 200 million yuan and 120 yuan for tickets. Even if labor costs and venue fees are not included, it will take [-] million people to recover the cost.

But no one expected that the number of visitors in a single day would exceed [-] just a few days after the exhibition hall opened.

The boss is very blatantly taking advantage of the popularity of Zhang's new book. In the exhibition hall, there are not only the high imitations he took, but also many things related to the new book.

There are various partial photos hanging on a long wall, on which all the characters mentioned in the book are circled, and annotations are made below.

In this way, the exhibition hall becomes the exhibition hall of "Code Code of Shanghe Tu during Qingming Festival".

Although everyone knows that this is a fake, but this is a fake that has been affirmed by many people, otherwise no one would spend so much money to buy it.And anyway, this is also a work of the Qing Dynasty, and it can be regarded as an ancient relic.

Anyway, it's better than looking at pictures online.

The most important thing is that the tickets are really not expensive.

For ten yuan, I can't eat a whole lunch.

If things go on like this, maybe the boss will be able to earn back the money he paid for the paintings in a few years.

After the money was earned back, he would have gotten a painting for nothing.

Of course, some people criticized his approach, because the painting on display is also very rare. If it continues to be exhibited like this, it will do great harm to the painting itself. This is not something that a person who loves painting can do at all.

The boss said that although paintings are rare, those who appreciate them are the most rare.It may be a wrong thing to exhibit the painting, but he is willing to bear the infamy, just to let more people who like this painting see it with their own eyes.

He made himself great.

Although the boss's statement is sophistry, it also has a little truth.

If he put the painting in his hand, wouldn't everyone be able to see it?
Many people scolded and went to see the painting, feeling very conflicted anyway.

Among the people who came to visit, many of them were foreign faces. Some people made rough statistics, and there were as many as hundreds of foreigners who came to visit every day, and they all came from various countries.

At this time, at the entrance of the exhibition hall, a reporter was interviewing a foreigner.

"Hi, I'm a reporter from XX News, where are you from, sir?"

"Canada."

"May I ask what are you doing here today?"

"Of course I want to go in and watch "A Picture of Rising the River During the Qingming Festival."

"Do you know that the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" inside is a fake?"

"Of course I know, otherwise why would I be able to spend ten yuan and just queue up for a while to get in."

"Since you know, why go in and see?"

"Because I really can't see it. I heard that this is the best imitation. It's a cultural relic from the Qing Dynasty. Ten yuan, don't you think it's worth it? I read pz's new book and went to Yanjing to read it. "On the River During the Qingming Festival", but after I came here, I found out that "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is not available every day. Someone told me that if I want to see it, I have to wait at least three years. My God, I don't It may be such a long wait. Many of my friends know that I came to see "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival". .”

"Will you tell your friends that what you saw was a fake when you go back?"

"Of course not. Instead, I will tell them that "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is very beautiful."

"Why?" The reporter was taken aback.

"It hurts me not to see the real thing, so I need a friend to share it with me. Haven't you heard a saying? Share the joy to double the joy, and share the pain to halve the pain? It's a famous quote from Bob Linton , by the way, I have seen all of "Bob's Life." The interviewed Canadian smiled playfully and walked into the exhibition hall.

In fact, many people, like this Canadian, were "deceived" to come here. They only know that the paintings are in the Yanjing Palace Museum, but they don't know that they are not on display every day.

Not only foreigners, but even many locals don't know about it, so they rushed over after reading an encyclopedia.

It was only after I arrived that I realized that there was no real trace at all.

Many people settle for the next best thing and come to see the high imitation.

……

Zhang Chong did not expect that his book would "deceive" many people to Yanjing, and he did not know that he had brought a lot of business to a certain exhibition hall.

Chen Qing called to tell him that the results of this year's Youth Literature and Art Awards came out.

There was no surprise, the winning work was Zhao Re's "Leaves Falling in Cold Autumn", and in the end, the Youth Daily still didn't make a big gimmick.

"It's very good. Zhao Re deserves this award, and he deserves it. Did he know about it?"

"Youth Daily sent the news directly to me, but I haven't told him yet."

Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "I should criticize you now. When I can't tell you, I should notify him as soon as possible. That's all right, I understand. Go and notify him."

"okay."

Not long after Chen Qing hung up the phone, Zhao Nuo called again.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhang Zhong guessed that Chen Qing had already told Zhao Nue about the matter.

"Hello, Old Zhao."

"Bless me, I also won a Youth Literature and Art Award."
