With the satisfaction of people's basic material life in recent years, the public began to gradually pursue spiritual material satisfaction, in order to cater to the market, various entertainment programs emerged in an endless stream, and just a few years ago, a variety of national treasure tasting programs under the banner of promoting traditional culture with their unique aesthetic value and cultural value stood out in a number of programs that were increasingly charming, and were wildly sought after by the general public and were all the rage.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the program effect and culture, the manufacturers of various national treasure tasting programs have indeed made a lot of efforts to invite major treasure experts and scholars to cooperate, which has also allowed more and more historians to gradually enter the public eye. However, at this time, there was a "fraudulent painting" accident, which can be said to be a turning point for such programs and related "scholars", which has made the public more and more unable to believe its authenticity.
1. Excellent academic background - Liu Yan, an expert in treasure hunting
Since the gimmick of the program is treasure hunting, the relevant experts and scholars invited by the program must naturally have a certain cultural background and cultural heritage, and also have strong language expression ability and antique tasting ability, and Liu Yan stands out among the experts with his excellent academic background and personal ability - he has served in the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Capital Cultural Center and the well-known Beijing Cultural Relics Store, such a background can be said to be more than enough for the TV show, plus Liu Yan can target the so-called "treasure" in each program "The details of professional tasting, saying that the head is also the Tao, as well as a certain historical and cultural background, naturally soon won the favor and recognition of history lovers and antique collectors."
This kind of tasting program is to put it bluntly, the layman looks at the lively insider to see the doorway, and now the multimedia film and television industry itself has huge competitive pressure, in this context, all kinds of programs in order to ratings, naturally will use various means to improve the interest of the program on the basis of ensuring the correct output of values and cultural views to attract the audience, Liu Yan with excellent eloquence by the major program groups have been madly pursued to invite, and those who do not understand professional culture and history and culture of the so-called "layman" can not understand the professional part, In the face of Liu Yan's talk, he was naturally stunned and stunned, and he was naturally willing to watch such programs. For a while, I don't know whether Liu Yan made the show or the show achieved Liu Yan, in short, in the end, both sides earned a pot full of fame and fortune.
2. Can "fake paintings" sell for high prices?
In the years when the treasure show was thriving, watching the treasures that were tasted in the show were sold at a high price, and most of the such programs were cloaked in the cloak of "close to the people and grounded" to win the ratings, many of the guests of the program were ordinary people without background, which made more and more people want to take out their home antiques to try it, in case they really sold a high price, they became rich.
Under such an idea, the 66-year-old Zhu Yun also took his ancestral "Chongyang Han Baitu" to the "Gate of Huayu" program group that was on fire at that time, it is said that this painting was personally tasted by the Qianlong Emperor at that time, and the cultural significance is extraordinary, but because Zhu Yun himself does not understand these things, and they are also legends, and they do not know whether it is true or false, so he holds the mentality of trying it out and wants the experts to taste it.
At that time, the treasure expert invited by "Huayu Gate" was Liu Yan, who looked at this painting and said that it looked a bit fake, from the paper, technique, and handwriting of the painting to the art genre and qing Dynasty history, and even some folk wild history were pulled out, and finally came to the result: fake. Zhu Yun himself is an ordinary person who understands these things, seeIng that Liu Yan said so professionally, plus Liu Yan was famous at that time, he didn't think much about it, but he just felt that the fake one was fake and there was nothing to lose.
But at this time, Liu Yan once again said that although this painting is fake, but the workmanship and artistic value are still remarkable, and now the market value can be about 30,000, but he just has a friend who likes this type, so he is willing to buy this painting at a high price of 170,000. Zhu Yun listened to a jump three feet high, and this good thing? Thirty thousand paintings can sell for 170,000, and for an ordinary family, 170,000 is not a small amount. In this way, Zhu Yun signed a sales contract on the spot and went home with money.
3. Fake paintings become real paintings, experts become liars
The next year, Beijing Poly Company sold a painting at a high price of 84 million yuan, and this painting is Zhu Yun's "Chongyang Han Baitu", Zhu Yun got this news and immediately couldn't sit still, he didn't know whether this painting was his own, said yes, people really sold 84 million, their own is only 170,000 fake, say no, look at it, and "Chongyang Han Baitu" is just such a picture, can you pop up two?
Zhu Yun was confused, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he directly sued Liu Yan and the painter in court with a paper petition. This accusation directly set off a huge wave in the industry at that time, after investigation, Liu Yan's background information was actually all false, there was indeed a person named Liu Yan who worked in the museum, but people stayed well in the academic community, and this Liu Yan, who was active in the treasure hunting program, simply used the name of others. But despite this, Zhu Yun could not win the case after all, because the business at that time was your love and my wishes, so he could only eat this dumb loss.
Although "treasure hunting expert" Liu Yan was exposed and counterfeited, it did not have much impact on him, and he was even active in various regions of the mainland to carry out treasure hunting activities. Here there is not only the pursuit of capital for the antique industry profiteering, but also the greed of ordinary people who want to get rich overnight, I think even if this fake "Liu Yan" is abandoned, as long as people do not look at this industry correctly, or are blinded by desire and money, there will still be a new "Liu Yan" after that.
