Chapter 189 Seven-day appointment, teach foreigners a lesson!
After explaining Wei Chengbin's work, let's take a look at Li Yuanhao.
Li Yuanhao was much more distressed. He wanted to copy the original work, but he didn't have the original work in hand. He couldn't go to the museum and copy the painting, right?
There are several photos hanging on the wall behind him, but the pixels of the photos are not high now, and many details cannot be perfectly reflected.
Li Yuanhao also doesn’t know what kind of paintings foreigners like.
Lin Ran had an idea in his mind. Didn't he have a rare and authentic collection in his home?
He returned home and took out Xu Wei's "Ink Banana Picture" hidden under the bed. It was his treasure at the bottom of the box.
So I brought it to the workshop carefully.
Seeing the picture of ink bananas, Li Yuanhao felt like a smoker who hadn't smoked for a long time and saw a good smoke, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Whose work is this?" Li Yuanhao asked with eyes wide open.
Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh: "You don't even recognize Xu Wei's "Ink Banana Picture"?"
"No, I'm asking who imitated it. It's so realistic! It's simply amazing!"
Li Yuanhao looked at the historical traces on it. Whether it was the brushwork or the appearance, they were all the same as the real thing!
This made Lin Ran laugh angrily: "Who told you this is a fake? This is an authentic piece from my collection."
"What!" Li Yuanhao was shocked, "This thing is still among the people?"
Xu Wei was a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty. This painting was created in the Bingyin year after Xu Wei suffered a mental illness and committed suicide repeatedly.
In current terms, this is the product of Xu Wei suffering from severe depression.
Xu Wei, who was in a depressed mood, saw the product created by Sunshine after experiencing a shock.
After the rain, the ink banana faces the sun, and the art of calligraphy and painting appears on the paper, which is extremely wonderful.
"The original is placed here. It's up to you how much you can imitate it." Lin Ran joked.
Li Yuanhao patted his chest and agreed: "If I can't copy the real thing before me, then it will be a waste of sir's kindness."
However, he soon discovered a problem.
"Copying and imitation are easy to solve, but how should we make the historical traces in our hands?" Li Yuanhao was troubled.
The rice paper in his hand was wholesaled from the factory. The papermaking technology in the Ming Dynasty was far less sophisticated than the current technology. It was relatively thick and the overall surface was uneven.
It was not visible on the surface, but for an expert like Li Yuanhao, it only took him a few minutes to see the mystery in the picture.
Lin Ran nodded in admiration, and then said to him: "I have a suggestion. You should bury the paper in the soil first. You want relatively moist soil, and take it out after a day and night before painting."
"Wouldn't the paper get damp? The paper loses its stickiness and will fall apart easily if you work on it."
Although Li Yuanhao knew that the paper must be dried after taking it out, wet paper is extremely easy to break, and the internal structure has long been damaged.
"So you need to apply a layer of wax on the surface first. Once the wax is there, its shape will not change easily."
“But how should this layer of wax be removed?”
"Just take out the utility knife and slowly scrape it off. This is a hard job." Lin Ran explained.
In fact, this method of fraud was invented by one of his colleagues back then.
It has not been publicized yet, but the rice paper of the Ming Dynasty is very different from the rice paper of today, which also makes it difficult to imitate Ming Dynasty paintings. You don’t need to look at the paintings at all, just look at the paper to know.
This method was unheard of by Li Yuanhao.
But he did as he was told. After getting the rice paper the next day and scraping the wax to dry, the traces of history were obvious.
"I admire him! Mr. Lin is indeed a god!" Li Yuanhao has been imitating works from the Song Dynasty because the scrolls are very similar.
With Lin Ran's technology, he can improve his painting skills for hundreds of years!
Next, they began imitation work in full swing.
Lin Ran was not worried that these counterfeit technologies would spread. The two people in front of him would be his right-hand assistants, not counterfeiters outside.
Lin Ran would not mind deceiving foreign cultural relics dealers.
Originally, this group of Eight-Nation Allied Forces were not good people, trying to seize other people's history. These things did not belong to them in the first place, and they took them home without permission, which caused a fault line in Chinese civilization.
Tolerable or unbearable.
Lin Ran decided to put his skills to the test through this arrangement to let them know that the children of China are not to be trifled with, and that civilization has never been broken. The two people in front of them are the best proof.
"How long will it take to ship the goods?" Lin Ran asked when he saw the two of them finally stopped to rest.
"It will take me six days." Wei Chengbin replied. There was some mud on his face, but there was a smile on his face, like a child playing in mud.
After finally mastering the new counterfeiting method, he simply couldn't stop.
"I need four days, but if I want to make it look old, it will take three more days." Li Yuanhao also replied.
He was already very good at making old tricks. Lin Ran checked and found nothing wrong.
"Okay, then I'll come find you in seven days." Lin Ran said.
"See you in seven days!"
In addition to Xu Wei's ink banana picture, Lin Ran asked Li Yuanhao to use the heavy color method to imitate one more and then another copy of Zhao Ji's "Flower and Bird Picture".
He has already been told how to modify the details. As for how far he can go, it depends on his own destiny.
Wei Chengbin asked him to make at least three tricolor cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty, but not too many, otherwise flaws would be seen.
And these three Tang Sancai cultural relics had not appeared in the market before.
Finally, three most representative works were selected: ladies from the Tang Dynasty, monks from the Tang Dynasty, and camels.
"The mission must be completed!" The two of them replied in unison.
Lin Ran nodded, turned and left.
Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao looked at each other, and Li Yuanhao spoke first: "Old Wei, no wonder you are so obedient to the child in front of you, he is the master of forgery!"
"Mr. Lin is not a master of counterfeiting, he is a genius of counterfeiting." Wei Chengbin said, "Mr. Lin is not like us. He has never done any counterfeiting, so he must not talk nonsense."
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake." Li Yuanhao laughed.
This is the first time I have seen Wei Chengbin take the initiative to defend outsiders. Usually this guy is self-centered and looks down on others at all.
"Mr. Lin is not only excellent in appreciation, but also understands these techniques. Perhaps he is the true successor of craftsmen." Wei Chengbin sighed.
If he were allowed to do his own research, he would not be able to produce something that could be completely fake after a hundred years of research.
He was confident that even people from the Tang Dynasty would not be able to recognize the fakes made according to Lin Ran's method.
"Isn't it? He is also a big collector." Li Yuanhao drank tea and looked at the ink banana picture pinned on the wall. He smiled happily, and his eyes were full of respect!
