In 2012, at the scene of a collection appreciation program, the host Wang Gang, holding a purple and gold hammer, slammed down on a small and exquisite white glazed cup on the display stand.
With a "whoosh" sound, the small cup instantly fell apart.
The audience sighed and stood on the side of the treasure holder, and his face was like earth.
Only Wang Gang said calmly:
"Pack it up."
In the "hammering fakes" link, Wang Gang has already experienced a hundred times. According to the rules of the program, any collection identified by on-site experts as a "fake" can either be withdrawn with the collection or smashed by the host Wang Gang on the spot.
At that time, Wang Gang could not have imagined that this ordinary hammer would actually bring him a lawsuit concerning "200 million national treasures".
It turned out that after the program, Fu Changyong, a very reluctant treasure holder, took the fragments of the collection and found a private appraisal agency.
Who knows, the appraisal report surprised Fu Changyong - this cup that was smashed by Wang Gang was actually a priceless Ming Dynasty treasure, which can be called a "national treasure".
Is it a minor sin to smash a "national treasure"?
In a fit of rage, Fu Changyong sued the program team and Wang Gang in court.
At the same time, the rumor that Wang Gang mistakenly smashed the "200 million national treasure" was rampant, and netizens who did not know the matter pushed him to the cusp of the storm.
For a time, Wang Gang was pointed out by a thousand husbands.
Under the charge of "cultural relics executioner", Wang Gang gradually faded from the public eye.
Now, nine years later, Wang Gang, who has entered the age of ancient rarity, when talking about this case again, he said:
"Fu Changyong deserves to be respected."
Is the mouth cup that was destroyed under Wang Gang's purple gold hammer really a fake?
The outcome of the trial speaks for itself. In the first instance, Fu Changyong lost the case, and the program team and Wang Gang did not mistakenly smash the "national treasure", and the collection was indeed a modern imitation.
After that, Fu Changyong appealed several times, but all of them were rejected and the original judgment was upheld.
The dust of this case has been settled for many years, and whenever a reporter mentions it to Wang Gang, he will count the words and say no more.
When asked why, Wang Gang said the truth:
"We want to protect the person in the case because his profession is that of a doctor, a healer with a benevolent heart, and he deserves to be respected."
Looking at this case, is Wang Gang, who has been scolded for many years, a ruthless person who ignores cultural relics?
Of course not, he is a complete "material idiot".
For Wang Gang, among his several titles, the one he recognized the most was the name of a collector.
Wang Gang's "obsession" with antiques stems from his father's "fascination" with old objects.
In 1948, Wang Gang was born in a family with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere, his father was a Peking Opera fan, and his mother was an amateur actor.
When my father was idle, he would take Wang Gang to the antique market. There, the two of them stayed for a few hours.
The mottled utensils, the yellowed calligraphy and paintings, and every treasure that came out of the old time fascinated little Wang Gang infinitely.
With eyes to see, no money to buy, this regret has become a seed buried in Wang Gang's heart, until he has been in the show business circle for many years and has a certain amount of savings, and then quickly took root.
Once, Wang Gang was moving to a new house, and he was going to mention a set of European-style furniture that had been predetermined. As a result, on the way to pick up the goods, he inadvertently walked into an antique furniture store.
Who knows, this time, he can no longer pull out his legs. Wang Gang, who was poked in the classical beauty of Chinese style, decisively overturned all the previous designs and turned the new home into an antique "old look".
In order to match the furniture, he happily ran into the antique market one after another, like ants moving, collecting all kinds of calligraphy and paintings and ornaments everywhere.
Finding the pleasure of collecting, Wang Gang rushed away on this road, laughing that he said that "playthings have reached the highest realm" and turned his home into a "museum".
With the antique "eye contact" more, Wang Gang gradually cultivated a pair of "fire eyes and golden eyes". Everyone said that he "mistakenly smashed the national treasure", but few people know that he also saved the national treasure from the hammer.
Also in the treasure-hunting program he hosted, a collectible identified as a fake had been placed on the display stand, ready to welcome the fall of the purple and gold hammer in Wang Gang's hand.
However, just at the time of the hammer drop, Wang Gang relied on his first instinct to think that this collection did not look like a fake from texture to workmanship. Out of caution about the collection, he requested that the results of the appreciation be re-checked.
Sure enough, the appraisal book was mistakenly taken in the hectics, and a treasure was almost destroyed.
If such a mistake really occurred, how could Wang Gang bear it? He once sincerely lamented in the "National Treasure" program:
"If a little slag falls on the cultural relics, it is a violent object."
In his eyes, every cultural relic is a life that carries the soul of culture and needs to be carefully cared for on the tip of his heart.
Beyond that, what else is worth his care?
If there is, then it is the character.
Wang Gang is an out-and-out "Hezhen professional household".
Starting from "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", Wang Gang performed a total of 320 episodes of "He yan".
However, for Wang Gang, although it is a "Hezhen", it is a number of "roles".
In "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", he plays a traitorous minister who regards wealth as fate and never feeds his feet, and in "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", he plays a sober person who has left the ideal and returned to reality.
In "Dream Break Forbidden City", he added a new footnote to "Hezhen" and performed a desolate life that was involuntary and difficult to control.
Although Wang Gang played "He Yan" to the extreme, in the beginning, being selected by "He Yan" was really not what Wang Gang wanted. For good reason, he didn't want to play a sinner of history.
In order to avoid this role, he even ran abroad and hid for two months.
After estimating whether "He Yan" should consider him, Wang had just quietly returned. Who knows, as soon as he landed, the producers actually chased him with perseverance and told him that the crew had been waiting for many days and waited for him to arrive.
In the face of this sincerity, Wang Gang could not refuse again, and he simply had a crossed heart and plunged into the speculation of "Hezhen".
Wang Gang felt that playing Hezhen as a simple bad guy was a desecration of the role, and what he wanted to do was to interpret the complexity of the character that was both arrogant and humble.
Since you choose a difficult path, you must bear some hard-to-swallow suffering. During the filming, there were several scenes, all of which made Wang Gang's heart extremely resistant.
There is a scene where he crawls on the ground with a puppy. At this time, he is 47 years old, and doing such an action in front of everyone is a great challenge for both the body and the mind.
However, as an actor, Wang Gang naturally knows that the drama is bigger than the sky. So, without saying a word, he bent over on the ground, learned the appearance of a puppy, and drilled in circles. This is the classic scene of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and the dog of Yan Xue to please the emperor.
Acting more, "He Yan" is like welding on Wang Gang's body, so that later he walked on the street, and many fans blurted out "He Adult" when they saw him.
Even Zhang Guoli in the program, from the beginning of the title of "Teacher Wang Gang", to the later mouth mistake into "and adult", are also unconscious.
What made Wang Gang cry and laugh the most was that because "He Yan" was played too deeply into the hearts of the people, the Supreme People's Procuratorate actually came directly to the door.
They invited Wang Gang to serve as an "anti-corruption" propaganda ambassador. Unexpectedly, when Wang Gang heard this, he immediately shook his head and resigned vigorously:
"I am a corrupt official, so how can I still publicize 'anti-corruption'?"
As soon as the staff's words came out, Wang Gang was happy on the spot. They said to Wang Gang:
"You have all 'lived' Hezhen, and you must be particularly aware of what the psychology of corrupt officials is, which is called the right medicine."
Having lived with "He yan" for many years, this actually made Wang Gang both happy and sad. Happily, he successfully created a character, and the sad thing is that the other characters he played were also covered by the aura of "Wakan".
Although Wang Gang had a smooth sailing on the road of acting, he stumbled in the matter of feelings.
Wang Gang has been married three times.
The first love begins with a letter.
In 1959, the 11-year-old Wang Gang was still known as a "bear child" who was preparing to expel him because he had pushed his classmates into the river.
This made Wang Gang panic at once, and he had nowhere to talk about his chagrin in his heart, and in a hurry, he had to put his heart into writing and write a letter to Chairman Mao.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, he actually received a reply letter from Zhongnanhai.
This letter completely changed the direction of Wang Gang's fate.
Overnight, he became a celebrity at the school. Not only did the school not expel him, but it also invited him to join the radio station as an announcer.
Who knows, from the moment he touched the microphone, Wang Gang's enthusiasm for the art of broadcasting was unstoppable.
In 1969, Wang Gang successfully entered the Jilin Provincial Military and Political Cultural and Industrial Corps. Here, he met his first wife, Du Xiaojuan.
In one performance, Du Xiaojuan was a announcer, and as soon as she appeared, Wang Gang was deeply attracted to her. Immediately, he launched a sweet attack on Du Xiaojuan.
The two young men soon fell in love, and two years later, they entered into marriage and gave birth to a daughter, Wang Tingting.
Unfortunately, the triviality of chai rice oil and salt, like mud and sand, washed away the dam of their feelings in one fell swoop. The marriage between the two lasted only one year and ended sloppily.
At this time, Wang Gang had emerged in his career, and without the bondage of his family, he poured all his thoughts into the broadcast. In 1982, "Harbin at Night", broadcast by Wang Gang, resounded throughout the streets and alleys, and Wang Gang became famous.
After that, he stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and broadcast the New Year's greetings of the leaders of various countries in English.
In the year of confusion, the career has reached the top, only feelings, is still a lack of regrets.
Until the appearance of the singer Cheng Fangyuan.
They met in an activity, and after some exchanges, they found that they had similar experiences with each other, and they had the same pursuit of art, and the feeling of pity for each other slowly rose in their hearts.
Although the 12-year-old age difference once made Wang Gang hesitate, the two crossed all obstacles to come together.
However, the mountain flowing water in art cannot replace the trivial skin in life after all.
After marriage, the contradictions between the two became more and more apparent. Cheng Fangyuan could spend a day studying opera instead of spending an hour washing his hands and making soup. And Wang Gang is even more so, he often calls for friends and companions, drunk tonight, but leaves his family behind.
Cheng Fangyuan's qinggao made Wang Gang lose face in front of his friends from time to time, and at the same time, Wang Gang's drunken appearance all day could not make Cheng Fangyuan feel the warmth of home.
Ultimately, the "child problem" pushes their marriage into a desperate situation. Cheng Fangyuan insisted on Dink, Wang Gang hoped to get another son, and no one would compromise.
Thus, a similar tragedy was repeated.
When the second marriage ended, Wang Gang was more than half a hundred years old, and he no longer had extravagant hopes for love.
Therefore, he could not imagine that after 4 years of divorce, he actually talked about "online love".
In 2005, Wang Gang was invited by Beijing Radio and Television News to open his mailbox and communicate with netizens. Shortly after the newspaper was published, a cellist named Zheng Yandong sent him an email.
Zheng Yandong told her appreciation and admiration for Wang Gang in the email. Out of courtesy, Wang Gang replied to the email to express his gratitude.
I thought that this matter would end here, who knows, Zheng Yandong sincerely invited Wang Gang to participate in his cello concert in the email.
As a result, this concert allowed Wang Gang to open his third love.
I was not born, I was born and I am old. Unfortunately, this is one thing.
Wang Gang is a full 20 years older than Zheng Yandong. Age is a big hurdle in front of them.
Moreover, he has been married twice, and Zheng Yandong is still in the middle of the word. He was afraid of delaying Zheng Yandong's beautiful years, so he had to try his best to hide from Zheng Yandong, and deliberately found various reasons to refuse to meet.
After separating for a while, Wang Gang found that his thoughts of Zheng Yandong had not diminished by a single cent.
At this time, her daughter Wang Tingting looked at her father "haggard for Yi Que", and could not help but feel compassion, she "bitterly mouthed" to persuade Wang Gang:
"Love does not distinguish between age and no right or wrong, if you really like someone, you must be brave, don't wait until you miss it, and then regret it." 」
Finally, with the encouragement of his daughter, Wang Gang chose to believe in love again.
In 2006, the 58-year-old Wang Gang solemnly married Zheng Yandong into the door. With the lessons of the previous two failures, this time, he put most of his mind back to his family and cared for Zheng Yandong.
Two years later, Wang Gang had another son, and he was so overjoyed that he splashed ink and wrote an interesting sentence:
"The pentagram is partial to the son, and the flower nail is rounded."
However, in addition to the joy of the old man, Wang Gang still had a hint of embarrassment, because his son and nephew were the same year.
There have also been media outlets that make a big fuss about this, pretending to be the tone of their sons, disgusting their fathers as old as other children's grandfathers.
Fortunately, in the process of accompanying children and grandchildren to grow up, this embarrassment is slowly dissolved. The 13-year-old son also "showed" his father's love in public:
"Only I can calm My Dad down."
Nowadays, Wang Gang has long ceased to be afraid of the eyes and discussion of outsiders, he generously took his son shopping, participated in activities, and even laughed at Zhang Guoguo that "he is still earning milk powder money in his 70s".
Last month, he wrote on Weibo, "Lao Wang, today is exactly 73 years old!" In the accompanying picture, Wang Gang wears exaggerated and funny glasses, and his hands are compared to the "victory" gesture, looking like an old naughty boy.
What about the rare years?
If there is something to love, we will go all out to pursue, and if there is a beloved, we will cherish it at all costs.
At any time, it's worth looking forward to, isn't it?
