As a traditional culture researcher, I have always respected and loved antiques, so when I knew about the filming of the movie "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau", in order to show the charm of antiques and restore the temperament of antiques, I decided to use more than thirty antique genuine products to shoot movies, I couldn't help but throw myself into the ground.
In the movie, the most wonderful clip is the wish played by Lei Jiayin, and the treasure hunting moment played by Li Xian, when the two people reported the name and characteristics of one antique after another, the audience held their breath and followed the plot to feel the charm of the antique.
It is also in this scene that there are really many genuine pieces - Lei Jiayin said in an interview: "We also have a lot of genuine products, worth millions, and experts wear white gloves to stare at the side when shooting..."
He sighed even more: "Good things and bad things are placed there, you can really feel that good things are different." ”
After all, every antique is a treasure of the Chinese nation and a condensation of Chinese culture. However, the most noticeable thing in the movie "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" is the "C position" in antiques - Wu ZetianMingtang Jade Buddha Head.
It is rumored that Xue Huaiyi was a heavy subject of Wu Zetian, and after the Ming Hall was built, Xue Huaiyi cast a large statue of the Buddha under the will of Wu Zetian, but in the later period, Xue Huaiyi fell out of favor, and he burned the Ming Hall with a grudge, and also took away this jade Buddha head...
It is this Buddha's head that, in the early 90s, was given an estimate of more than 100 million!
In the movie, Xu Yicheng, the head of the five pulses, offered this jade Buddha head to the Japanese and was shot as a traitor, after three generations, the Japanese were willing to return the Buddha's head, but hoped that Xu Yicheng's descendants would come to hand it over, but the descendants of the Xu family, Xu Yicheng (Lei Jiayin), was an alcoholic who repaired home appliances at that time, and in the eyes of Huang Yanyan (Xin Zhilei), who tried to do a career, the wish was sloppy and unreliable.
The five-veined ruler who did not look up to the wish hoped that the elite of the returnee would be handed over by Yao or not (Li Xian).
However, they discovered that the Buddha's head returned by the Japanese was a fake. Therefore, finding the true Buddha's head before the handover ceremony became the most important thing.
This looks like a duel between "Wild Road" and "Academic", two people competing openly and secretly, using completely different means to collect clues synchronously, and at this time, the addition of Fu Gui (Ge You) makes this seemingly balanced balance tilt to one side...
They keep cracking old puzzles, and at the same time new puzzles appear in front of them.
Is it to give each other a stumbling block, or to cooperate with each other?
Is his old friend who lost his father genuinely helping or is he setting up a situation to guide him astray?
One suspense after another appears and unravels with the plot, ups and downs, fascinating, and the plot setting of the "innings" plot that responds to the name of the movie also makes the audience immersed in the invigorating of the mystery unveiling at the last moment, and the next second is confused.
Except for following the lead actor to solve the puzzle, until the last moment, everything is not credible.
In such a constantly reversed and reversed plot rhythm, in addition to seeing an audio-visual feast, the most exciting thing for the audience is the intuitive feeling of the national treasure.
As mentioned earlier, the film is mixed with true and false antiques, in order to identify them, the main actors performed a number of treasure hunting scenes, and the counterfeiting methods of antiques in the film were also shocking to see.
For example, Mao Tuofa uses a stone material called Maoshi to reproduce antiques and make them old, making it extremely difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The only flaw lies in the stone quality, the sandstone Buddha's head, which falls to the ground and is torn apart; and the forgery carved by maotuo method will shatter into dozens of pieces with blunt angles on the edges when it falls to the ground.
In the film, Wish used this method to identify a fake - the fake antique was broken, and my emotions were refreshing!
Moreover, what surprised me the most was that this whole story is really not a rootless water - in reality, the antique Buddha head that has the same experience as the Mingtang Jade Buddha Head in the movie also exists.
I don't know if you remember the Tianlongshan Buddha head that appeared in the "National Treasure Homecoming" program at the Spring Festival Gala this year, which is a Buddha head from the eighth cave of the Tianlongshan Grottoes in Shanxi, built in the Sui Dynasty, and was stolen and chiseled around 1924 and illegally transported out of the country.
In September 2020, the head of the Buddha in Tianlong Mountain suddenly appeared at the Japanese auction, so the State Administration of Cultural Heritage immediately launched a recourse mechanism.
On October 31, Japanese cultural relics holders decided to donate the buddha's head to the Chinese government.
In July 2021, the return ceremony of the Buddha's head was held in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and this national treasure that has been wandering outside for nearly a century has finally returned to its homeland!
All these efforts are worth it - the commemorative significance of the return of the national treasure is not to mention, the carving techniques, expression techniques and characteristics of the times displayed by this Buddha head alone are enough to prove that it is a typical example of the gradual localization of Buddhist grottoes in China, which is also of great significance for the study of the achievements of Chinese grotto art from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
How similar is all this to the plot in the movie! It is precisely because of this understanding that you know how precious and great the feat of the national treasure that the three generations of the Xu family spent more than 50 years to protect in the movie is.
Like the three generations of the Xu family, in real life, those ordinary people who spend huge sums of money to photograph cultural relics and donate them to the country free of charge, and ordinary people who do not hesitate to travel thousands of miles abroad to find evidence and help the government recover cultural relics... It is the heroes who have allowed us to lose a large number of overseas national treasures and have the opportunity to return to our homeland.
As the saying goes, a hundred rivers and rivers come from different sources, and all belong to the sea, our faith today is incomparably strong, the robbers who once broke into my house, you will eventually return what you have taken!
Then, as an ordinary person, if you also want to immerse yourself in the charm of the national treasure and want to follow the civilian heroes to experience the stimulation of guarding the national treasure, you may wish to go to the cinema and watch this "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" directed by Guo Zijian and starring Lei Jiayin, Li Xian, Xin Zhilei, Ge You and other good actors! The movie is released today, this winter burning moment, don't miss it!
