Chapter 578 579 [Art pressure as a pedestrian]
Xiang Nan smiled, and took out the stuff he brought.
are a snuff bottle, a brush washer, a folding fan, a bronze mirror, a jade carving and a Buddha statue.
He picked things on purpose, covering the four major categories of antique collections: ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade, and miscellaneous items.
Wang Gang started to look at the stuff Xiang Nan took out, but didn't pay much attention to it.
In his opinion, Xiang Nan is young and has so much knowledge, the gadgets he bought are likely to be fakes, even fake ones, not even high imitations.
But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the stuff Xiang Nan brought didn't seem so bad.
"Please allow me to get started~" Wang Gang put on his gloves, carefully placed the snuff bottle, brush washer, folding fan, bronze mirror, etc. in front of his eyes, and observed them carefully. Even took out a small flashlight to take a photo...
"Brother Wang, how are you doing?" Seeing his posture, Feng Gong couldn't help asking curiously.
"Oh, it's amazing, these pieces are all treasures." Wang Gang gently put down the Buddha statue, took a full sip of tea, and then pointed out one by one, "Ma Shaoxuan's snuff bottle, Ming Wanli blue and white brush wash, Chen Banding The flower fan, the sea animal grape mirror in the Tang Dynasty, the jade bear carved in the Han Dynasty, the gilt bronze Buddha statue in the Liao Dynasty...
Brother, this little friend is not as sloppy as you said Meng Lang, he is a master. "
Feng Gong was taken aback, a little incredulous, "Really?! Didn't lie to us?"
"You have to ask this little friend, what did your ancestors do." Wang Gang laughed, "Maybe he is a family of collectors, and maybe the family has a long history."
Xiang Nan smiled, "Mr. Wang is right. I'm sorry, Mr. Feng. In fact, I have been collecting with my neighbor's grandfather since I was a child. He was a court servant in a pawnshop and was quite proficient in this business, so I learned a little from him. Craftsmanship."
"It turns out that's the case. You told me earlier that I was worrying about you for nothing." Feng Gong complained with a smile. Anyway, it's a good thing that Xiang Nan didn't suffer.
"Look, let me tell you, little friend is an expert." Wang Gang smiled, "Yuan Xiaoyou, your eyesight is really good, let's communicate more."
Although Xiang Nan is young, his eyesight is very accurate, and he can pick these things well. That's the thing. In the literary and entertainment world, the most important thing is eyesight.
Whoever has good eyesight and ability is the master! Miegao is guilty, so he has to get close. Just a few words of advice from others will benefit you endlessly.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, I am happy to accompany you." Xiang Nan smiled.
There are quite a few people in the entertainment industry who like to collect. In addition to Wang Gang, there are also big bosses in the Beijing circle Ma Weidu, Huang Ama clothing business owner Zhang Tielin, tough guy actor Zhang Hanyu, first-line screenwriter Zou Jingzhi, top writer Hai Zhi, and so on.
Come on, play antiques in prosperous times, and hide gold in troubled times. Celebrities' money comes very quickly, and the salary for a movie can be several million or tens of millions. Collecting antiques is a good way to manage money for them.
Secondly, most celebrities have no culture. It is said that he graduated from university, but in terms of knowledge accumulation, he is probably not as good as a high school student. Therefore, in order to be arty and cover up my ignorance, I will also play with collections.
And in this way, a circle is formed that is not a circle. Xiang Nan is now developing in the entertainment industry, and still needs the support of contacts, so it is a good opportunity for him to make friends and build contacts through Wenwan and antiques.
…
At that moment, Xiang Nan talked about collecting with Wang Gang.
He has Ji Xiaolan's knowledge accumulation, Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming, all kinds of allusions, all kinds of anecdotes, he can easily read them, and Wang Gang and Feng Gong are all in admiration.
Although Xiang Nan is young, at such a young age, he has a family background and a profound foundation, which makes people have to pick Thumbs Up.
"Oh, I really learned a lot today." Wang Gang exclaimed, "If I don't have something to do tomorrow, I really want to chat with you tonight."
He learned a lot from Xiang Nan today. He has learned a lot of skills in the appreciation of ancient porcelain alone, which will save him a lot from being fooled in the future.
And this kind of knowledge, to be honest, it is not easy to learn. As the saying goes, it is better to give ten slings of money than to pass on the art. Appreciating antiques is a big craft.
In ancient times, if one didn’t learn from a teacher, one didn’t work hard for the master for more than ten years, serve tea and water during the day, and pour urine at night, it was impossible to be taught.
"It's okay, Uncle Wang, when you have time to get together again, I promise to be on call." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Okay, it's settled." Wang Gang smiled and nodded.
…
Getting acquainted with Wang Gang is a great thing for Xiang Nan.
Through Wang Gang, Xiang Nan then got to know Ma Weidu, Zou Jingzhi, Li Chengru, Hao Jinming and many other friends from various circles of literature, art, business, and literature, and his contacts were greatly enriched.
Through such a rich network of contacts, Xiang Nan also gained many opportunities.
Of course that's all for later.
…
In January 1999, Xiang Nan's second album, "Free Like the Wind", was finally recorded.
In order to promote it, Maimiao Records still suggested shooting a MV for publicity.
Xiang Nan also agreed with this, and wrote another MV script, still telling the story of the prodigal son wandering far away, the girl who can't forget, and the hometown that can't go back.
This kind of story is very attractive to young people. After all, when everyone was in the second year of middle school, everyone yearned for the distance... This is the common empathy of people.
The director of the MV still invited Huo Jianqi, and the heroine was still chosen by Xiang Nan.
After some screening, he finally chose Zeng Lai, a junior in Chinese opera.
Zeng Lai is a big beauty who is praised by everyone. She is known as the Seven Golden Flowers of Chinese Opera, and she is as famous as Zhang Ziyi, Hu Jing, Yuan Ting, Mei Ting, Qin Hailu and others.
And she is also very good, in "Male and Female Appearance", "Silent Witness", "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", "Blue File", "Injured Love", "Sisters-in-law of the Three Kingdoms" and other episodes Has a good performance.
However, it is a pity that such a well-recognized actor with good looks and acting skills is not popular, which is really surprising.
Xiang Nanxuan once came to play the heroine, and he also took a fancy to her appearance.
"Hello, Ms. Zeng, the Seven Golden Flowers of the Chinese Opera has been famous for a long time." He said with a smile.
"You're welcome, I am also very happy to cooperate with you." Zeng Lai said with some respect, "To be honest, I am your fan, and I like your song "I Have You in My Life" very much."
Among her classmates, there are many celebrities. For example, Mei Ting has already filmed "Blood Childlike Heart" and "Red Lover", and collaborated with the superstar Leslie Cheung; Hu Jing has also taken over the filming of "Love in the Internet Age"; Yuan Ting has also taken over the filming of "Spring Rhapsody" …
Only her. Although she is as famous as them, she has not achieved much in her acting career so far. So she cherishes this opportunity very much.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "I hope we can cooperate happily."
