antique appraiser

"This book should be the best among this batch of imitations." Wen Liyan admired, "If it is an ordinary expert, I am afraid that nine out of ten will think it is a genuine "Liao Zhai" Strange Tales, I am afraid that there is nothing wrong with the details I mentioned just now. Judging from the smell of the ink, this book should use ancient ink, and the paper is not deliberately made, but It is the paper made in the ancient way. The old way is very clever. The top experts may be able to judge it through the feel, but the difference is too subtle, and it will even be ignored as an illusion. It is difficult to distinguish. Speaking of paper , I would also like to tell you the characteristics of a fake book. For some fake books, their own paper is ancient paper, which is directly transformed on the ancient paper as a cultural relic to make it look like a book. Such a book is the most It’s hard to identify, after all, if you just look at the paper, this book is indeed an antiquity.”

Wen Liyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took a short rest. After all, he had said so much just now, his throat was naturally a little uncomfortable.He then went on to say, "While the book is perfect in many respects, it is in the details."

Wen Liyan put the book flat on his hand, so that the side on the top of the book faced the audience and the camera, and then pointed to the junction of the spine and the page, "Look here, everyone. The place between the book and the page is actually our A detail that is often overlooked. But it is this detail that makes this imitation ancient book show its feet."

What exactly is it?Wen Liyan talked nonsense here for a long time and didn't get to the point. The curiosity of the group of people rose to the peak, and they looked at the stage from a long distance, staring at the small seam, as if they were like this You can see why.There are quite a few people who have a well-thought-out look, as if they already know what is wrong here, which makes people laugh.

Su Ming and Qu Jingshui also watched Wen Liyan's movements with interest, waiting for him to continue explaining.

"Let's make a comparison with the real book." Wen Liyan said, stacking the fifth book on top of the last one, and the photographer hurriedly took a close-up of the joints between the spines and pages of the two books.

I thought that Wen Liyan's next sentence would reveal the secret, but who knew that Wen Liyan said: "It seems that there is not much difference here." It made a group of people's expectations come to nothing, as if they were being tricked same.

"However," Wen Liyan spit out two more words, attracting everyone's attention again. Wen Liyan's performance had already had an impact. More than ten unique identification methods in a row have attracted people's attention, and I am very interested in his last identification method, can he still play a different identification?The same is true, Wen Liyan's random words make people's emotions fluctuate.

"When we are holding a book, we will feel the difference. Like this, without the cover and back cover, just pinch a dozen or so pages of the book in the middle at will, and lift a book." Wen Liyan put the genuine book on the On one side, he picked up the book he judged to be a counterfeit, "This book is a counterfeit, so when we hold the book like this, we don't have the feeling that the book will fall. The pages are tightly connected by what? Glue." He pointed to the thin layer of white glue between the spine and the pages, "But I think everyone should know one thing , the glue will age, unlike the part of the non-aging plastic that was transformed by cosmic rays in the catastrophe, the glue will age after such a long period of time from ancient times to the present, and it is inevitable to mention a book like I just mentioned For books, because of the aging of the glue, I should feel that the pages are separating from the spine, so the whole book is falling. But just now, I didn’t feel this way at all.” Wen Liyan said while putting down the book in his hand. Fake ancient books, pick up the real ones.

"Let's look at the real thing again. Although it seems that the glue between the spine and the pages is not much different from the imitation just now, but in fact?" He opened the book in the palm of his hand, and then pointed to the spine again On the side, there has become an n shape.

Wen Liyan: "As you can see, this is the gelatin after aging. It can be easily turned like this. If I lift up the book by pinching a dozen pages like I did just now, the book will definitely fall down and the pages will be scattered. Relatively speaking, if you want to open the imitation book in a straight line, you have to use a little effort."

After hearing Wen Liyan's explanation, everyone immediately applauded.Wen Liyan actually authenticated these books in more than a dozen completely different ways!It's amazing, the other few experts can't do this level, right?

Amid the applause, Wen Liyan smiled, walked back to his seat silently and sat down.

This is a good performance, and it can be said that he has gained a lot of limelight.Scanning the others, Wen Liyan was not surprised to see their expressions of deep thought or shock.This time, my performance probably shocked them a lot, right?Can the identification still come like this?From those small details, we can finally judge the authenticity of an item.

Wen Liyan really didn't know, it was because of his performance this time that some experts present embarked on the journey of studying an extremely small classification for identification, and they really made a lot of achievements.

However, he does know that if he picks out the details in all aspects, I am afraid that those who cheat ancient books will be miserable. His method is not technical, and it can be used as long as he is careful enough. However, the difficulty level has been greatly increased, and more investment is required. As a result, there is no way to gain much benefit from the ancient book fraud business.But maybe I think too much about my own role. After all, not everyone will watch such a TV. There are always some people who are taken advantage of and rush to give money to others.

What's more, not everyone can have this feeling when it comes to feeling, smell and taste.Playing with antiques depends on the feeling. Only when you get in touch with real products and have the influence of the environment can you get such a feeling. Wen Liyan is better than he lived in that era. He has been in contact with these "antiques" in people's eyes for more than 20 years. The feeling is stronger than anyone else.

After the program was recorded, Wen Liyan didn't mention to Su Ming that "Journey to the West" became "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio", but no matter what, Wen Liyan still felt uncomfortable.Regardless of whether this matter is related to Su Ming or not, it always happened in his territory.Although there is a suspicion of venting anger, Wen Liyan can't control that much anymore.He is not a saint, it is normal for ordinary people to vent anger.

Therefore, before Qu Jingshui left with Wen Liyan, during the few conversations with Wen Liyan, Su Ming sensitively felt that Wen Liyan was a little indifferent to him, and thought that Qu Jingshui had confessed something to him, and secretly thought it was a pity, He really appreciates Wen Liyan, but Qu Jing's water defense is tight, and it is really difficult to dig into the wall.Forget it, a gentleman doesn't take what others like. It seems that Wen Liyan and Qu Jingshui are getting along very well now, and Wen Liyan is quite loyal, so why should I get involved?

After waiting on the flying saucer, Wen Liyan finally opened his mouth: "Boss, the title of my identification book was changed before, and no one informed me."

Qu Jingshui was taken aback. Seeing that Wen Liyan spoke clearly and without pause, he thought that Wen Liyan had been reminded by Su Ming in advance to prepare, but now Wen Liyan told him that the topic had been changed, and instead Wen Liyan didn't receive the notice?

He thought of two questions at the same time. The first one is, how strong is Wen Liyan's ability to perform so amazingly even if he knows the topic temporarily?Second, who is the person who did this and what is his purpose? Is he targeting Wen Liyan or Qu Jingshui?

------

Four days later, the first episode of "A Collection of Curiosities" was broadcast.

After editing, the highlights identified by the experts are even more exciting, and some minor flaws have been covered up.And Wen Liyan, who seemed to be able to use up all kinds of magical identification methods, shocked everyone even more.

The enthusiasm for ancient culture in this era is unimaginable for ordinary people, so when this program was broadcast, the idea that only a few people watched this program in Wen Liyan's imagination did not become a reality, and this program became a reality almost immediately. Ratings hotspot, watched by many people.

And Wen Liyan became famous in one fell swoop because of his outstanding performance.

An expert in ancient characters, an expert in ancient culture, Wen Liyan's two first dumplings were not recognized by the group of people in the industry. When he thinks he fits these two titles, no one will listen to what the industry insiders say.As long as Wen Liyan is in Guangyuanhang, there will always be several times more people looking for him to appraise, saying that they believe in his ability.

Compared with the situation in the antique business where there may not be a single business in a day, the excitement of Guangyuan Bank naturally attracted the envy and jealousy of many colleagues, and after watching that TV program, I don’t know how many people are secretly hating It wasn't me who took Wen Liyan in at the beginning, otherwise it would be my family's antiques that are outstanding now.These people never imagined that if Wen Liyan really went to other antique stores, he would still be able to appear on Su Ming's show. Would he get many opportunities because of Qu Jingshui's relationship?

There are always too many factors affecting personnel and personal encounters. Sentences like "if only..." are never really what will happen.

However, these thoughts of others cannot affect the current Wen Liyan. The next job he has to do is to expand the influence of "Rare and Wonderful Gathering" that Qu Jingshui and Su Ming discussed before: conduct on-site appraisal directly in reality , making program locations.In order to attract more people to enter the antique market, and also obtain some rare collections that are not easy to buy at ordinary times.

The first stop, under Qu Jingshui's fight, was placed at Guangyuanxing.
