Antique collection has always been a topic of people's talk, whether it is a rich person on the rich side or a normal life in a miserable life, they also have a certain collection preference. Of course, with the rapid development of the level of science and technology, the technology of cultural relics counterfeiting is also constantly improving, and many high-level manufacturers can imitate new objects exactly like antiquities, even if those professional experts and scholars are difficult to distinguish between true and false.
In previous years, when network technology was not very developed, people's favorite entertainment platform was to watch TV, and among the many TV programs, treasure hunting programs can be said to have gained a group of loyal fans. Up to the professional platform of CCTV, down to the local stations, are trying to create their own treasure hunting programs, hire some professional treasure connoisseurs, and then attract treasure holders from all over the country, so as to create gimmicks, and then spread through TV programs, so that many people are very yearning for it.
At that time, many people went to these treasure hunting programs with the mentality of seeking truth, after all, some people still have "antiques" that have been purchased at great expense, even if they always say that these are handed down from generation to generation, but through the identification results, these so-called things still have a lot of fakes, especially many modern crafts.
With the spread of television programs, many people have also questioned why those experts know the true and false when they look at it, and it is difficult to judge the true and false even if some objects have undergone special technical testing, and why these experts can do it. Therefore, many people think that this may be the usual means of some experts, telling collectors that the items are fake, and then buying them at a low price, and finally getting the real collection. Such incidents were not unique at the time, and there were many well-known cases.
In order to attract people's interest, and want to make a name for themselves in many treasure hunting programs, the "World Collection" program team has made a very interesting link. At that time, the host of the show was the actor Wang Gang, Who himself was a rather avid collector, and there were many precious collections in the family, many of which were purchased at a large price, so when he was the host, he also gained a lot of viewers. At that time, there was a link in the program, Wang Gang was holding a "treasure protection hammer", if the three experts present unanimously agreed that the collection was a fake, Wang Gang would pick up the hammer and smash the fake.
And it is this link that makes many people quite interested, watching the collector's beloved items being smashed into pieces on the spot, many people actually have a feeling of relief in their hearts, anyway, they do not have, see others have, it is very uncomfortable. But is there a problem with such a link? What if the three experts looked away at the same time and smashed the real thing?
The program group itself also took this problem into account, after all, the value of cultural relics is determined by the market, and sometimes it is easy to have sky-high cultural relics. In order to avoid possible situations, the program group will sign an agreement with each collector before participating in the program, the content of the agreement is to understand the treasure smashing link of the program, and agree to the conditions proposed by the program group, as soon as the treasure is played, the fate is decided by the heavens.
The program team earned enough eyeballs by relying on broken treasures, but there were also times when horses lost their front hooves.
Once, a treasure lord named Fu Changyong came to the program group and claimed that he had brought a piece of Yongxuan porcelain. Regarding the value of Yongxuan porcelain, it is natural not necessary to say more, the porcelain built during the Yongle and Xuande Emperors was very limited, and the Xuande Dynasty, because of the short time, left behind a handful of fine products, because every piece that survived was of great value. At that time, Fu Changyong held a bit of luck mentality, thinking that the one in his hand was likely to be the real thing, but the result made him very disappointed, and the three experts present unanimously believed that this was an imitation, and finally Wang Gang on the side of the hammer fell, and the treasure became a fragment on the spot. Maybe they didn't think that this would really be a real thing, after all, how could ordinary people get such a precious collection?
As a collector, Fu Changyong saw that the treasure he brought was smashed on the spot, and at first there was no complaint, after all, he had signed a relevant agreement with the program team, and he also understood that there would be such a result, so in the face of the smashed baby, in addition to regret, there was no action in his heart, and he could only say that his dream was shattered.
However, once when he watched the project launched by the "World Collection" column in cooperation with a museum, he re-identified the smashed objects, and found that there were many genuine objects, that is to say, the program team smashed a lot of genuine treasures at that time, and the three experts did look away on the spot. Seeing this, Fu Changyong himself also began to have a throbbing in his heart, and he himself also knew the value of Yongxuan porcelain very well, after all, such a fine product but everyone who understood it knew his preciousness, in case his collection was really mixed by the program group, then this program needed to be responsible for it.
Fu Changyong, who had a fluke mentality, took the porcelain fragments he had brought back from the program and went to a professional organization to test carbon-14, because according to the test of carbon-14, it was easy to judge the age of the cultural relics themselves, and then they could also know the authenticity of the cultural relics and the approximate time range. The final result made Fu Changyong very excited, and the result showed that these broken bottles were more than 600 years away from today, so it was the fine product produced in the Yongxuan period, and there was no doubt that the Yongxuan porcelain he brought with him was a genuine piece.
Fu Changyong according to the relevant investigation and the previous auction collection price, and finally according to the market price to determine that it should be worth 200 million yuan, which is completely a sky-high price, the result is because of a show, his own genuine treasure into pieces, Fu Changyong began to be angry, decided to find the trouble of the program group.
He found the program group, detailed the results of his testing, and hoped that the program group could give him corresponding compensation, but after the program group listened, it completely ignored him, because he had signed the relevant agreement at that time, that is, any result, he expressed that it was acceptable, so the program group believed that it was completely unreasonable for Fu Changyong to propose compensation at this time, and he was not obliged to compensate. Seeing this attitude of the program group, Fu Changyong had no way for a while, after all, the agreement was signed by his own hand at the time, but his genuine treasure was broken like this or unwilling, and in the end, he chose to use legal means to sue the program group together with the host Wang Gang in court.
However, a fact to be known is that because there is a corresponding agreement contract, it proves that the program team has signed relevant agreements with Fu Changyong before, and it is agreed by both parties, and there is no coercion in it, so the legality of the agreement exists. Fu Changyong demanded compensation afterwards, which was completely unreasonable. In fact, the result was already doomed from the beginning. And because this case involved actor Wang Gang, he once received social attention during the trial of the case.
After a year of investigation and evidence collection, the Chaoyang District Court of Beijing issued a judgment in October 2014. The first-instance judgment paid Chang Yong lost the case, and the program team and Wang Gang did not need to compensate him.
Although the program group did not make corresponding compensation, but because such an act did cause some relevant controversy, and even by some cultural relics conservators, it was decided the fate of cultural relics by relying on the judgment of the three experts on the spot, which is not too dramatic, so the program group was also attacked by public opinion for a while. In the end, the "World Collection" program announced the suspension of broadcasting, and as more and more industry insiders were exposed, the related treasure hunting programs were also facing various pressures, and finally the treasure collection program was difficult to appear on TV, and could only become a historical memory.
At that time, the popularity of the treasure show really made many people pay attention. But the vast majority of programs are based on the experts on the spot for a few minutes to determine the authenticity of a cultural relic, which is indeed a bit ridiculous. Previously saw a content said that Qi Baishi's granddaughter took her grandfather's painting to appreciate, but she did not show her identity, experts on the spot said that this painting is not Qi Baishi's real handwriting, when the granddaughter personally said that she was Qi Baishi's granddaughter, and the painting brought can only be regarded as a draft, the atmosphere of the scene is indeed very embarrassing, the expert was punched in the face on the spot, it is indeed a very emotional scene.
For cultural relics, there is no need to pay too much attention to them, nor do they fall into the chaos of the market, after all, in the era of their production, they are just a daily necessities. Of course, there are also some avid cultural relics enthusiasts, and it is really difficult to understand that objects that are only used as open objects are placed in their homes.
