Chapter 231: Fairness

This year, Ma Weidu only had a name in the antique circle and was not well known to the public.

Besides, he is not a serious researcher of cultural relics, but a wild road, he used to drive machine tools in a factory, and later became an editor of a literary magazine, and in his spare time he was engaged in antique collection.

In antique circles, he is considered a collector.

It's just that this kind of title is not recognized by experts and scholars, and it is called in private.

The circle of cultural relics collection is also divided into professional and amateur, and everyone who really knows how to stay in the Palace Museum.

The next ones are also in museums and antiquities institutes around the world, or archaeology majors at universities.

After all, Ma Weidu is just an antique lover, and he has learned about this knowledge through his own study, and there is still a big distance from the real experts and scholars.

He really wanted to be an expert and squeeze into that professional circle, but people didn't take him to play.

He is not short of money now, what he lacks is fame, and those experts ignore him, so he thinks about how to become famous, so that everyone knows him and knows that he is a collector.

He is no longer satisfied with entertaining himself in the antique circle, he wants to enter the public eye, and even wants to build a museum.

If you don't take me to play, then I'll play it myself and make a name for myself.

However, it is not easy for a collector to become famous.

Ma Weidu tried to write books and publish articles in newspapers to introduce collecting knowledge, but unfortunately this is not an era of treasure hunting, and there are not many people interested in antiques, and everyone is busy going to the sea to do business.

As for giving lectures at the university, he wanted to go, but he was not invited by the university.

The main reason is that he does not have the title of expert, and if he graduated from a prestigious university and worked as a researcher at the Palace Museum, it would be easy for him to give lectures at the university.

Of course, if he finds a rare treasure, unique in the world, he can also be famous.

At this time, Lin Zixuan came over and wanted to collect a few pieces of old furniture.

This was originally a very common thing, a friend introduced him, collected a few old things, he helped palm the eye, and took a little labor fee from it, which was nothing in the circle.

Ma Weidu's antique industry, one is to rely on self-taught knowledge, and the other is to rely on eyesight, very good at seeing people, and very good at seizing the opportunity, which is one of the reasons why he can succeed.

He inquired about Lin Zixuan's identity and saw an opportunity to become famous, that is, to go on TV for publicity.

As long as he can appear on Huaguo TV's "Cultural Interview", he can be regarded as an expert in this field.

Listening to Ma Weidu's request, Lin Zixuan secretly shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but it's not easy to be on "Cultural Interview", and the people who can be on this show are basically leaders from all walks of life, and they must have a high reputation.

There are also some wealthy entrepreneurs who asked someone to give the column group of "Cultural Interview", and directly offered 500,000 yuan to talk about their life experience on the show, but they were all rejected, and the grade of the program could not be lowered because of this.

For example, the show has always invited big stars like Gong Li and Jiang Wen, if a second-rate actor is invited in a certain issue, then no big star will be willing to be on this show in the future, it is too low.

This is a high-end talk show.

However, if there are really entrepreneurs who are willing to spend tens of millions of sponsorship fees, they want to go on the show, and Huaguo TV will not refuse, it still depends on whether they can come up with the starting price.

Ma Weidu's shortcomings are that he is not professional enough, he is not well-known, and he does not have a title that he can get.

If he had been on "Cultural Interviews", those experts would have criticized "Cultural Interviews" as unprofessional, and asked a layman to talk about collections, isn't that a joke? What do we experts do?

As a program of a national TV station, professionalism is the minimum requirement.

Lin Zixuan will not refuse directly, he wants to save face for the other party, he has always emphasized being kind to others, and will not turn friendship into evil.

"Brother Ma, as far as I know, this show has been full recently, I'm afraid there is no chance. Lin Zixuan politely refused, "If you really want to carry forward traditional culture, it is better to make a show yourself, the national station is not good, don't we still have the Beijing station?"

"You mean I'm presiding over it myself?" Ma Weidu wondered.

He heard Lin Zixuan's refusal, but he was very interested in the latter proposal.

"Let's talk to Jingcheng Station and run a column to popularize antique knowledge, it doesn't necessarily need to be so professional, just tell a story, Brother Ma, what you just told me was very good, and I was fascinated by it." Lin Zixuan proposed, "Linking antiques with historical stories and collectible value will make it more attractive to the audience." ”

"Is this going to work? I don't have any acquaintances in Beijing. Ma Weidu said worriedly.

"I know a few people who have time to talk about it, and this kind of show is both informative and interesting, and it should be popular. Lin Zixuan asserted.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, when it will be convenient for you to make an appointment for dinner, everyone will get to know each other. Ma Weidu thanked.

"It's easy to say, it's all a matter between friends. Lin Zixuan agreed.

He is only responsible for making ideas and pulling the strings, and whether he can negotiate it depends on Ma Weidu's ability.

Ma Weidu symbolically received 500 yuan of hard-earned money for the old furniture, which is estimated to be 2,000 less according to the market price.

"I've heard that people in this business are not very low-key, why do people want to be famous? Mu Shanshan was puzzled.

"Every man has his own way of living. Lin Zixuan responded, "In the future, I am afraid that this industry will not be low-key if it wants to, there are many rich people, and there is no place to spend, so they will invest in antiques, and the price of antiques will rise, and then this brother will be rich." ”

After the craze for civil service exams dissipated, a review appeared in the newspaper about a short film, which was "Sister".

Although it is only 20 minutes, because the subject of the film is children, it is easy to arouse the sympathy of the audience, and it has received a lot of attention, and many experts interpret this short film from different angles.

Some people believe that this is a lack of emotion caused by improper family education, and that attention should be paid to children's education.

There is a discussion about how parents with multiple children can balance their feelings.

A more strident view is that this is the work of traditional patriarchal thinking, and that parents forcibly change the fate of girls when they give the name of their sister before the child is born.

The girl who is the sister and thus becomes the boy's companion loses at the starting line of life from the beginning.

For example, if two siblings are admitted to university at the same time, the family is financially struggling, so only one of them can go to school.

"You are the elder sister, you should let the younger brother. ”

This seemingly fair sentence is actually the biggest unfairness, the elder sister went out to work, the younger brother went to college, and the lives of the two were completely different because of a decision made many years ago.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in China, and there are millions of such sisters who have lost their right to choose because they are sisters. (To be continued.) )
