"Shu Chang, do you think this is true or fake?" Wang Gang then asked Shu Chang.
"I also think it's fake. But I don't know how to collect. I just have an intuition that it doesn't look real." Shu Chang said with a smile.
"Okay, actually collecting antiques is all about eye contact. If your intuition is not true, don't touch it." Wang Gang nodded and said, "Su Jin, what's your opinion?"
"I also think it's fake. Although I don't know how to collect, I have studied painting. I think, as Mr. Cao said, the scenery and characters are all piled together, and there is no sense of layering or three-dimensionality." Su Jin also replied.
"Okay, all three of them made the wrong choice, so what are the opinions of the three experts?" Wang Gang asked the three connoisseurs with a smile.
After whispering, the three connoisseurs formally signed the appraisal certificate.
After Wang Gang took it, he said solemnly, "Friends, let's please protect the treasure hammer!"
Hearing what he said, everyone became excited.
"Okay, the life and death document has been signed. Now I want to ask you, do you want to withdraw?" Wang Gang held the treasure-protecting hammer and asked the treasure collector.
"I won't retreat." The treasure hunter's attitude was very firm.
"Really not retreating?!" Wang Gang asked again.
"I won't retreat!" The treasure hunter remained resolute, "If it's fake, I won't feel bad if it's smashed."
"Well, if the identification is dated, even in the Republic of China, we will not destroy it. But if it is a new defense, then I'm sorry." Wang Gang explained, "I ask you one last time, do you want to withdraw?"
"I won't retreat." The treasure hunter still refused to let go.
"Do the three guests change their opinions?" Wang Gang looked at Xiang Nan and asked them again.
All three shook their heads.
Wang Gang then clicked and dropped the treasure-protecting hammer, smashing the Pipa Master.
Seeing this scene, the treasure hider's face turned pale.
"I'm really sorry, this Pipa Zun is a new imitation." Wang Gang explained, "Then where are its flaws? Can a connoisseur answer it for us?"
"Actually, Mr. Cao has just said it very comprehensively, and the reasons are all right." The connoisseur said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Shu Chang, Su Jin, and the audience present all looked at Xiang Nan in surprise. They didn't expect that he actually got it right.
"I would like to add that the glaze is too loosely bonded. You can tell if you look carefully with a magnifying glass." Another connoisseur laughed.
Xiang Nan just observed it with his naked eyes and didn't see this flaw. Even so, it was already so impressive that Wang Gang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
…
"Okay, congratulations to the three of you on your successful start." Wang Gang said with a smile, "Now we invite the second treasure hunter to come on stage."
A moment later, the second treasure hunter appeared, bringing with him a blue and white pipa statue made of Guangxu brother in the Qing Dynasty.
"Three guests, please keep your eyes peeled~" Wang Gang said with a smile.
Xiang Nan and the others immediately went on stage to observe.
"Okay, let me ask Shuchang first, what do you think of it?" Wang Gang asked with a smile.
"I think it's too ugly to be painted," Shu Chang said with a smile, "It's much uglier than the one just now."
"Su Jin, what do you think?" Wang Gang asked again with a smile.
"I also think it looks fake. The painting method is not like Chinese painting, and the painting is too abstract. It feels a bit like abstract art." Su Jin also laughed.
"Cao Xiaoqiang, what do you think?" Wang Gang looked at Xiang Nan and said.
"I think this is true." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Firstly, its painting is smooth and natural, secondly, its opening is very even, and it is not the product of artificial distressing; thirdly, its blue and white color is still correct."
"Okay, two falsehoods and one truth, then let's see what the experts say." Wang Gang said with a smile.
After whispering among themselves, the three experts then gave their own judgments and jointly signed the cultural relics appraisal certificate.
"Okay, it turns out I've already got it. Secondly, please protect the treasure hammer!" Wang Gang shouted immediately.
Everyone's mood became excited again.
"The documents of life and death have been signed. I ask again, do you want to withdraw?" Wang Gang held the treasure-protecting hammer and asked the treasure collector.
"I won't retreat." The treasure hunter smiled.
"Asking the second time, are you really not going to retreat?" Wang Gang looked at the treasure hunter and said, "To be honest, even if it is fake, it is just a toy to display at home. But if it is smashed, you can't even display it. ."
"I won't retreat." The treasure hunter still smiled.
"Asking for the third time, are you really not going to retreat?" Wang Gang said in a pretentious manner.
"I won't retreat." The treasure hider's attitude was very calm.
Wang Gang then looked at Xiang Nan and the others, "Three guests, do you want to change it?"
Xiang Nan shook his head.
Su Jin and Shu Chang both hesitated.
"Otherwise, I'd better change it. I believe in Brother Cao." Shu Chang said with a smile.
"I still insist that it is false." Su Jinze still insisted on his original opinion.
"Okay, let's take a look at the results of the expert appraisal." Wang Gang opened the appraisal book and said, "The expert appraisal shows that this is a folk kiln product from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.
The carcass is thick, the shape is clumsy, the painting is relatively smooth and natural, the blue and white hair color is beautiful, and it has distinctive characteristics of modern blue and white cobalt materials. Congratulations to the treasure hunter. "
Seeing this result, and it was the same as Xiang Nan said, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
"Xiaoqiang, you really have a few tricks up your sleeve." Wang Gang smiled and nodded.
Because Su Jin made a wrong choice, he was sent to Wo Xin Zhai, where he took the money and tasted his courage in order to make a comeback.
…
"Okay, I'd like to invite the third treasure hunter." Wang Gang said immediately.
After a while, the third treasure hunter appeared. What I brought up was a pipa statue.
"Three guests, please pay attention." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Xiang Nan and the others immediately came to the statue together and looked at it carefully.
"Mr. Cao, do you think this is true or not?" Shu Chang asked curiously.
"It should be true." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
"Oh." Shu Chang and Su Jin both nodded.
"Okay, Su Jin, please tell me first this time, do you think it is true or false?" Wang Gang asked with a smile.
"Mr. Gossao said it is true, but I think it is false." Su Jin replied, "Because he is so young and his knowledge of antiques should be limited, so he should be wrong once out of three times."
"Hey, you don't understand this. There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. Being young does not mean that you are less capable." Wang Gang laughed.
"I'm really happy to have Miss Su praise me for being young." Xiang Nan smiled, making the audience laugh too.
"Shu Chang, how do you choose?" Wang Gang asked again with a smile.
"I trust Brother Cao's judgment, I think it's true." Shu Chang said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that he will lie to you?" Wang Gang said with a smile, "Then Cao Xiaoqiang, do you think it is true or false?"
"I think it's real." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "On the one hand, its shape is very regular, in line with the shape of the time; on the other hand, its painting work is very fine; on the other hand, its coating and opening are all very precise. It’s very natural. So I think it’s at least a hundred years old.”
"Okay, let me ask the experts to give their opinions." Wang Gang smiled and said, "Three please protect the treasure hammer!"
"The documents of life and death have been signed. I want to ask you one last time, do you want to withdraw?" He asked the Tibetan Master holding the treasure-protecting hammer.
"No retreat." The Tibetan Master insisted.
"Will you three guests change your ways?" Wang Gang asked Xiang Nan and the others again.
All three shook their heads.
Wang Gang then smiled slightly and said, "The lady's double-eared pipa statue with gold and pastel colors on a coral red ground is regular in shape, bright in color, and exquisite in painting. The base model has obvious characteristics of imitation after the Republic of China. It has been identified as a genuine product from the Republic of China, with a market estimate of 80,000 yuan!"
