Chapter 169 [The Youngest Expert in the Republic]
"What, you want me to take Zhu Tao's place? Deputy Director, you're not kidding me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qin Fan pointed to his nose in surprise and said with a strange expression.
Just now, a deputy director in charge of this treasure appreciation program suddenly found Qin Fan and asked him to take Zhu Tao's place and sit on the expert appraisal seat to continue recording the program and appraise the antiques for the guests.
Qin Fan didn't expect this to happen to him, and he was a little confused for a while.
"Look at what you say, I can still joke about the show. It's too late to find an expert in the field of miscellaneous and ceramics temporarily, and among so many people present, you are the only one who can take Zhu Tao's place. ”
Originally, Zhu Tao was responsible for the identification of miscellaneous items and ceramics in this show, but now that he is gone, this burden falls on Qin Fan. In terms of miscellaneous, Qin Fan had already proved his appraisal skills just now, let alone in the field of ceramics.
This deputy director knew Qin Fan's glorious deeds of becoming famous at the porcelain exhibition in the magic capital, and no one on the scene was more suitable to replace Zhu Tao than Qin Fan.
"Aren't there also people here who are good at identifying ceramics and miscellaneous? Besides, sitting in the middle of a group of gray-haired experts and professors at such a young age doesn't look like that. ”
Qin Fan's face was entangled, and it was indeed a bit dazzling to sit in the middle of a group of old experts at his age. And those experts may not be able to see him, just now there were a few experts who echoed Zhu Tao to bury Qin Fan. If they knew that Qin Fan was going to take Zhu Tao's place and sit on the expert appraisal seat, I don't know what they would think in their hearts.
"It doesn't matter if you're young, who rules that you have to be a gray-haired old man to be an expert. In terms of antique identification, the master is the first. Young people, give yourself a little confidence. ”
The deputy director patted Qin Fan's shoulder and said, "When the show is broadcast, it will be said that you are the youngest treasure expert in the Republic, and there must be many people paying attention." So I decided, and I'm going to talk to the other experts. ”
This deputy director really dared to say anything for the ratings of this show, and Qin Fan, who was fooling, was about to believe it.
As expected, when the deputy director proposed to let Qin Fan take Zhu Tao's place and continue to record the show, the faces of the experts who buried Qin Fan just now were a little embarrassed.
However, Qin Fan had already proved his eyesight and identification ability before, and those experts couldn't find any reason to oppose it, so at most they could only use the excuse that Qin Fan was too young to complain.
Twenty minutes later, the recording continued.
It's just that to the surprise of the audience and guests, Qin Fan replaced the injured Zhu Tao and sat on the expert appraisal seat.
The experts present did not deliberately embarrass Qin Fan in the face of Old Man Meng, as for the experts who had sour Qin and two sentences, their faces were extremely embarrassed, and their buttocks were as uncomfortable as pinpricks, and they couldn't wait to end the recording as soon as possible.
It was the first time for Qin Fan to sit on the expert appraisal seat, and it was inevitable that he was a little nervous when he was appraising antiques in front of so many cameras.
Coincidentally, after the show restarted recording, the next treasure bearer brought up an antique collection of porcelain, and it was also the famous Yuan blue and white flowers.
"The audience at the scene must have heard of Yuan Qinghua, but I am afraid that there are very few people who have seen it, so let's ask our treasure bearer to bring his collection up."
Xu Rujun quickly entered the presiding state, and asked the next treasure holder to come to the stage with a sweet voice.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses on the stage come out of the side door, Qin Fan noticed that he was holding a blue and white porcelain plate in his hand, this porcelain plate should be the Yuan blue and white porcelain plate he brought.
The treasure bearer introduced the audience to the origin of this blue and white porcelain plate, which he said he had bought for 2,000 yuan at an antique market in Xijing more than ten years ago.
If this piece of Yuan blue and white is genuine, the value is probably in the millions.
After the audience and guests at the scene gave their opinions outside the venue, the treasure bearer came to Qin Fan with this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain.
The bespectacled treasure bearer couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that the expert who had identified Yuan Qinghua for himself was so young, and his face showed suspicion.
Qin Fan didn't care, and seriously appraised this piece of Yuan blue and white for this treasure holder.
"In fact, Yuan Qinghua is still relatively easy to identify compared with the porcelain of other dynasties, I will talk about a few obvious characteristics of Yuan Qinghua, and the audience and friends can try to identify it themselves when they go back."
Saying that, Qin Fan quickly integrated into the role of an expert, and patiently explained to the treasure holder and the audience, "Let's first look at the color, the color of the Yuan blue and white decoration must be blue. Because the Mongols were influenced by Persian culture and admired white and blue. At that time, Genghis Khan suddenly conquered Central Asia and West Asia many times, opening up the main road of cultural communication between China and the West. A large number of Arabs and Persians poured into China, bringing with them a large amount of Western culture. ”
Then from the shape of the vessel, the shape of Yuan Qinghua is huge, and they are all large plates, large jars, large bottles, etc. This has to do with the rugged character of the Mongols. Turkey's Tobkabi Palace hides dozens of Yuan blue and white vessels, all of which were exported from China at that time. ”
There is also a special kind of porcelain in Yuan blue and white, called "the cup", which is now the goblet.
Since the Yuan people were a people on horseback and wanted to ride on horses often, they invented this kind of cup that could be held with one hand and drank wine on horseback.
"Another characteristic of Yuan Qinghua is that there are many themes, flowers, fish algae, feathered animals, dragons and phoenixes, characters, almost everything. And a large number of dramatic characters and stories appeared in the later period. ”
Among the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, there is a very famous "Ghost Valley Descending Mountain" blue and white jar, which was sold at a price of 230 million RMB in London, England, and can be exchanged for two tons of gold according to the international price of the day.
And the Yuan blue and white plate that this treasure holder brought up is painted with a blue and white unicorn picture, but the painting process is too rough, and the shape of the vessel is one size smaller than the ordinary Yuan blue and white. Collectors who have studied Yuan Qinghua can see at a glance that this is a modern imitation, and the imitation technology is not very sophisticated.
Qin Fan didn't have any worries, and directly informed the treasure holder of the appraisal results.
The treasure bearer seemed to have guessed the result, and behaved very calmly. After all, it may be more difficult to buy a million or even tens of millions of yuan blue and white flowers worth 2,000 yuan in the antique market than to buy a lottery ticket and win a jackpot of five million, so he didn't have much hope before he came.
"Thank you, expert teacher."
This treasure holder originally knew nothing about Yuan Qinghua, but after Qin Fan said this, he understood a little bit, thanked Qin Fan and left with the porcelain plate.
At this time, the audience at the scene was also convinced by Qin Fan's eyesight, and no longer had any doubts.
Xu Rujun looked at Qin Fan curiously, as if he didn't expect that Qin Fan could even identify porcelain.
Next, one by one, treasure holders took turns to appear, bringing antique collections to the experts on the scene for identification.
These antique collections are both real and fake, with porcelain, calligraphy and paintings being the majority. But basically they are some relatively ordinary antiques, and there are no priceless treasures.
In fact, it is no wonder that although there are many treasures left over from the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization, most of them have been collected into the museum and preserved. There are not many folk treasures, and it is even more rare to share them with so many collectors. How can it be so easy to appear a priceless national treasure-level antique.
The duration of this episode of the show on TV is about 45 minutes, but the recording process takes about two hours, plus it was interrupted by an emergency just now, and it was not over until more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the two hosts and appraisal experts on the stage were a little tired, and they waited for the last treasure holder to come on the field to finish the appraisal and then call it a day.
"Now let's invite the last treasure bearer to play."
Xu Rujun was strong and energetic, with a professional smile on his face.
However, what was surprising was that this man actually walked up with an ugly gray stone in his hand.
"Hello host, hello bricks. My name is Luo Gui, and I am from Luojia Village. On the stage, a man who looked like a farmer grinned wide, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Mr. Luo, what is the baby you brought today...... This stone? Xu Rujun's eyes widened with curiosity, she had never seen anyone bring a stone to the treasure appreciation program.
Luo Gui nodded hurriedly and said, "This stone was brought back from outside by my father a few years ago, and my father said that this stone is a treasure." This stone has been in my house for several years and has not been moved, so I want to ask an expert to show me what kind of treasure it is. ”
Hearing this Luo Gui say this, the appraisal experts here are in difficulty, and they don't know what this stone is, which expert should be invited to identify it?
"In my opinion, this stone should be identified by Professor Huang, an expert in jade." Someone suggested.
This Professor Huang and Zhu Tao got very close, and he didn't give Qin Fan a good look.
Hearing this, Professor Huang's face became bitter. He is a good expert in jade, but no matter how you look at it, this stone is picked up casually from the side of the road, so what value can it have.
Anyway, the show is almost over, so Professor Huang plans to say a few words casually and send this Luo Gui away.
It's just that when Professor Huang came to this stone, a strong stench came to his face, almost fainting him.
"What does this smell like, why does it stink so much?"
Smelling this stench, Professor Huang's face turned blue, and he didn't even dare to breathe when he covered his nose.
"I'm sorry, this stone was thrown into the pigsty by my mother-in-law a few days ago and stained with some pig manure, this smell is a little unpleasant, don't mind." Luo Gui rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said honestly.
Hearing this, Professor Huang's eyes went dark, and he almost vomited all the food he ate yesterday.
