Views:

The next three days were still shot in the ancient town, and the second day was completed in a temporarily rented studio. With heating, it suddenly became much more comfortable. Fortunately, the cold yesterday did not cause Li Wei to catch a cold, so it did not delay the progress of the filming.

She was hosting as usual, introducing experts, guests present, and then introducing the holders of several shortlisted collections.

In the first round, the holders will introduce their treasures, in the second round, guests will appreciate the treasures at close range, and in the third round, experts will give their opinions on authenticity and a market valuation.

The first person to appear was a young woman, holding a Qi Baishi painting. The lady was wearing a khaki cashmere coat and looked very elegant. After walking on the stage, she calmly introduced her collection.

"This painting was a dowry from my grandmother. My grandmother later passed it on to my mother, so my mother gave it to me. The main purpose of coming here today is to ask experts to help find out how much this "Shrimp" is worth."

Li Wei asked from the side: "May I ask, ma'am, if your grandmother's mother is quite well-off?"

The lady said without any concealment: "My grandmother was from a well-known family, and her father had been a high-ranking official. This painting was also given as a filial piety when someone asked him to do something. My grandmother's father liked it very much, and then gave it to me." It has been passed down to me from generation to generation for more than half a century.”

After introducing the treasure, the guest came on stage to appreciate it at close range, and then gave the appraisal results. After the guest's confirmation, they believed that the lady's collection was authentic, and gave a market reference price of 420,000 yuan.

The program went on as usual and the recording went very smoothly. When the fourth treasure holder came on the stage, Li Wei noticed the treasure he brought as usual, a piece of "Shu Su Tie" by Mi Fu. She liked to practice calligraphy at first, and she had read the copybooks of several people, including the famous Mi Fu. When the treasure holder opened his treasure, Li Wei took a closer look and knew it clearly.

The treasure holder then introduced the origin of his collection, and also told a story about a lucky find, which made people feel envious and jealous. Then the guests came on stage, some said it was genuine, some said it was fake, and everyone gave their opinions. Li Wei's identity is just a host, and her role is to guide the situation and control the scene. Then we asked experts to evaluate it.

The scholar sitting in the middle wearing reading glasses and a black Chinese tunic suit cautiously gave an appraisal opinion: "After unanimous appraisal by several of our experts, we believe that Mr. Rao's "Shu Su Tie" is an authentic work by Mi Fu. The market reference price is 700,000 yuan. The appraisal certificate is now issued to Mr. Rao.”

Li Wei was a little confused at the side: No, this "Shu Su Tie" is a later imitation. The imitator himself has good calligraphy, but after all, it is an imitation work. How can it be determined that it was written by Mi Fu? Naturally, the market price will never reach the level of 700,000, which is ten times higher.

She would be able to discover the mystery behind it after a few more looks, why several experts believed it to be an authentic work.

Li Wei was full of doubts. The director had reminded Li Wei several times backstage. Li Wei gradually came to his senses and hurriedly introduced the next holder. This is the last treasure of the day. It is a painting of flowers and birds. picture.

All Li Wei had been thinking about was "Shu Su Tie", and that's how the program ended.

The director stepped forward and asked Li Wei: "Anchor Li, what happened just now? Why did you suddenly become silent? Did you suddenly forget the information of the holder below?"

Li Wei finally realized her mistake and apologized to the director, but she had more important things to do. When several experts were about to leave, she hurriedly stepped forward and said to them, "Masters, can you please stay?"

The expert named Dai smiled and asked Li Wei very gently: "Is there anything else that the anchor can do?"

"Everyone, please wait." Then she went to stop Mr. Rao. Everyone didn't know what happened. The director and producer Zhu Heng, who was busy backstage, came over. Zhu Heng was confused as to what Li Wei was going to do.

Li Wei took the calligraphy, unfolded it in front of the experts, and said calmly: "I would like to ask four experts about this post. What is the basis for the authenticity appraisal that you have always given?"

The experts glanced at Li Wei for a few times, and one of them, Dai, secretly thought, what is this woman doing and why she still needs to question their appraisal results? Really young and reckless.

"The anchors have different opinions on the results we gave?"

"I just want to know the basis of identification you gave."

The expert surnamed Dai pointed to the handwriting and said, "Look at the overall charm and the handling of details, which are all the characteristics of Mi Fu." He was too lazy to explain too much to a layman like Li Wei, and she wouldn't understand it anyway.

Li Wei saw that the so-called expert did not say anything about the reason. She laughed a little disapprovingly and said: ""Shu Su Tie" is an early work of Mr. Mi Lao. He was still copying the handwriting of his predecessors, and He has not developed his own style. It can be clearly seen from "Shu Su Tie" that his pen is still imitating the handwriting of the two kings. The charm and momentum you mentioned are not true. "

Li Wei opened his mouth and came, which made the expert surnamed Dai unable to step down. Fortunately, another expert said: "Anchor Li only knows one thing but not the other. Why do we identify the authenticity? I am willing to agree with him." Anchor Li said it well..."

"Want to hear the details!" Li Wei didn't believe these people could call white things black.

She wanted to find out, but Zhu Heng came over and said to several experts: "It's cold, so I ordered mutton hotpot at Xianghe Building to warm up. I also invited a few of them to move to Xianghe Building."

Li Wei was unwilling to give up before she got the explanation she wanted, but she couldn't stop her when the leader came forward, so she could only watch as the producer asked several experts to leave. Mr. Rao hurriedly put away his treasure, glared at Li Wei fiercely and walked away.

Why these people would collectively cover up a fake product? There must be some inside story. If there is really an inside story, then what's the point of doing such a program? However, it goes against the original intention of "removing the false and retaining the true."

Director Gu came over and asked, "Li Wei, what's wrong with you?"

Li Wei smiled bitterly: "The director also thinks I'm ridiculous, right? But I'm just such a person, and I can't get rid of the slightest bit of sand in my eyes."

Director Gu patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said, "The producer will be angry. You can go to Xianghe Building later to apologize."

Apologize? Why do you need to apologize? She is not the one who needs to apologize.

At this time Yang Li came over and pulled Li Wei away.
