The modern entertainment industry is becoming more and more developed, and many entertainment practitioners are trying to find ways to put their daily work and lives on the TV screen, hoping to make a grounded and pleasing program.
In this way, the treasure industry has entered the public eye.
In order to pursue the effect of the program, it is also necessary to create all kinds of gimmicks for the audience, and the mistake of Wang Gang smashing 200 million cultural relics eight years ago was produced in this context. What exactly caused the experts to make mistakes, and how did this end?
First, entertainment and treasure hunting merge
Due to the long history of the mainland, so a variety of cultural relics have been handed down to the world, but on the other hand, there are good things on the top, and the next must be effective, and many imperial homes also regard antiques as a favorite, so the lower officials and even the merchant families have risen with the custom of collecting treasures. There is a market where there is demand, so not only have there been many treasures in the past, but also the treasure master and the counterfeiting market are also prosperous.
China has always valued antiques more than gold, and there are many stories of the collection of gold in the chaotic world, as well as many stories of destroying family treasures. Many of the people's understanding of antiques is also popularized by television programs, such as the mainland's regulations on the classification, management and sale of cultural relics, in fact, the people are very blind.
Since the reform and opening up in the 1980s, the wind of folk collection has gradually risen, while on the other hand, the level of appreciation has not kept up, and the market development is not perfect, in this context, antique popularization programs have begun to flourish. Subsequently, after the rise of foreign reality shows, the control of the desire to spy and the weakness of human nature, treasure hunting programs also began to become popular, including Wang Gang's World Collection.
This program, in fact, invites all kinds of experts who have always been locked up in small rooms for appraisal from behind the scenes, on the one hand, to let ordinary audiences understand the insider of the collection industry, on the other hand, to popularize traditional cultural knowledge.
Second, the world's collection
The success of the show "Collection of the World" is because the experts they invite are the top contemporary Chinese experts, which are not the same as ordinary pawn shops, private museums and other places. Moreover, in order to improve accuracy, the program stipulates that the firmness of antiques requires the agreement of several experts to prevent the accident of one of them.
People familiar with Chinese collections know that the counterfeiting of cultural relics and the collection of cultural relics in the past dynasties are a pair of wrongdoers, and many cultural relics collectors themselves are counterfeiters, and have a very high level of technical craftsmanship, while having a top connoisseur's vision. In modern times, counterfeiting technology is changing with each passing day, the realism of many replicas has reached the peak level, there is no diamond diamond to do porcelain work, the popularity of this show, it is precisely because there are such high-level experts sitting on the spot. However, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of it, and the accident still happens.
The host of the show, Wang Gang, is both a famous actor and a collector, and his appreciation of antiques is also innumerable, and over the years he has honed a pair of fire eyes and golden eyes, not the kind of small fresh meat with hue. Therefore, there is a link in the program called the removal of false truth. If the experts of the program group identify fake goods, let Wang Gang personally smash the fake antiques in front of the TV set to prevent the fake goods from continuing to circulate in the future market. This is not only the purpose of the show, but also the demand of the market.
Third, the national treasure is destroyed by hitting the eye and destroying the hand
This link has a certain degree of gambling, many people who love collecting have the courage to fight in their bones, on the one hand, they want to know whether their collection is the real thing, on the other hand, they also hope to borrow the hot spots and traffic of the column to help them find a buyer. Therefore, there is an endless stream of people applying for program appraisal, including a person named Fu Changyong, who came to the column group with a pair of sweet and white glazed water glasses from his collection and came to the appraisal.
At that time, the program group communicated with Fu Changyong in advance, if the pair of pressurized water cups is fake, it will be smashed on the spot by Wang Gang's hammer, Fu Changyong approved of the column group's approach, and said that if it is a fake, it can be accepted.
After careful selection, Fu Changyong's sweet white glazed water cup was selected by the column, and he signed a letter of commitment with the TV station. After several rounds of identification of the program that day, experts confirmed that the pair of sweet white glazed water cups were fakes, so Wang Gang hammered down, and a pair of white glazed water glasses turned into pieces.
Fourth, the follow-up of chicken feathers in a place
Originally, Fu Changyong had no objection to the results of the treatment, but at this time, a person around him wanted to buy the fragments of the pair of cups for 20,000 yuan, which aroused his strong suspicions. Although many of the people present did not have the reputation of top experts, they also had very professional visions, and many of them were even comparable to the leak-picking kings of the sweeping priests. Because of his thoughts, Fu Changyong did not agree, but collected the fragments of the cup and found other experts to identify.
After the results came out, Fu Changyong was surprised, and after other experts identified the cup as a cultural relic of 600 years, and gave an appraisal price of 200 million yuan. Fu Changyong felt that he had suffered a big loss, so he came to the court with the appraisal certificate and asked the program team to compensate him.
In view of the contract that Fu Changyong signed with the program group, the court did not support his claim, but this matter has greatly damaged the reputation of the program group and is widely circulated in the society, and many people who have been identified as fakes are not willing to find another appraisal.
After that, many experts were silent, and the court also held that the cultural value of the cup was not great. But even so, for Fu Changyong, he was still not willing to accept this result.
Wang Gang said that because Fu Changyong signed a contract, he should bear the consequences of smashing the cup, and even if this porcelain is a real cultural relic, the estimated value of 200 million yuan is too large, because according to mainland law, cultural relics before 1840 cannot be circulated abroad, and the collections of museums at all levels cannot offer a sky-high price of 200 million yuan.
epilogue
Although there are many cultural relics in China, there are more fakes, and the water in the industry of cultural relics identification is too deep, which is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people. In particular, there are more doorways in porcelain, for example, the real counterfeiting master can do the ancient porcelain piece or the base of ancient porcelain into the new porcelain, and finally even the instrument can not be identified. Therefore, it is really too common for a piece of porcelain to disagree with expert opinions.
In short, in the collection industry, listen more, see less, and experts cannot stand still, and should comprehensively use a variety of new technologies to support it. The antique industry is like this, the more you learn, the more you feel unfathomable, endless learning, no matter at any time, don't be so determined, because antiques are not only antiques, but also include thousands of hearts.
