I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 375 Donation? !
"Dad looks like this is not a solution, or we should sell that jade pendant to the auction house. I think Dad carries it with him every day. Now many people in this area know that Dad has cultural relics. Now the United States is not safe. In case we're not around someday"

A young couple is sitting together in the kitchen with sad faces.

In another room next to them is old Uncle Zhang who is watching the show.

The husband sighed when he heard his wife's words.

Sadness overflowed from his eye sockets.

"I know, but I'm afraid that Dad will think too much. He always feels that we are trying to get his money. We usually go to work, and he is at home alone. He has no one to talk to, and his mind is already sensitive enough."

"However, there have been several cases of burglary in the neighborhood recently, and the two of us have to go to work again. You said that it is not safe for Dad to stay at home alone with this thing."

The wife also has her own considerations.

The husband and wife were so worried about this matter that they couldn't eat.

Working in the United States for many years, the husband and wife lived a good life, and the two of them were not greedy for material things, so they didn't have any worries about the jade pendant of the old man.

The only concern is the safety of the elderly.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from another room.

The couple looked at each other and got up immediately. One picked up the newspaper, and the other quickly put on an apron and went to the stove to pretend to be cooking.

When old Uncle Zhang walked into the kitchen, what he saw was a scene where a man dominates outside and a woman dominates inside.

"Dad, I've finished watching TV, you can take a rest, the meal will be ready soon."

The husband put down the newspaper and said with a smile.

Old Uncle Zhang looked suspiciously at the couple.

Sitting at the table, he coughed.

"I decided to give away the grape jade pendant."

At this moment, the couple stopped their movements at the same time and looked at each other.

the husband asked cautiously.

"Dad, why do you suddenly want to give it away? Did someone from the auction house call you just now?"

"No, I figured it out myself. My fate with this jade pendant ends here. Instead of passing it on to whom after I die, I might as well dispose of it myself."

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Old Uncle Zhang was full of love and reluctance.

When the husband heard this, he blurted out.

"You can pass it on to me."

"Pass it to you? You are not short of money. You give it to your son. Your son marries an American girl and gives birth to a half-blood. The mixed-blood marries an American girl and gives birth to another half-blood. If this goes on from generation to generation, it will eventually become an American girl." Human."

Old Uncle Zhang said angrily.

His set of theories made both husband and wife couldn't help laughing.

"That's fine. It's just that our area is really not safe at this time. You can hand over this thing early, so we don't worry. I'll contact the auction house."

The husband smiled and got up to find the business card left by the previous auction house.

But old Uncle Zhang called out to stop him.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

"Are you looking for someone from the auction house?"

The husband blurted out.

Old Uncle Zhang shook his head.

"When did I say I was going to sell to the auction house?"

"If you don't sell it to the auction house, who are you going to sell it to?"

The husband and his wife looked at each other, both of them were very puzzled.

"Director Xu! It's No. [-] again! This issue of ours is No. [-] again! I'll give out red envelopes later, remember to grab them."

As soon as "National Treasure" ended, Xu Wen received a call from the central station Wang Liang.

Opening his mouth is the familiar red envelope, which made Xu Wen also feel Wang Liang's good mood.

This issue of "National Treasure" has maintained a high level of ratings as always.

In 22 provinces, it won the No. 2 ratings in the same period, and won the No.[-] in the national total ratings on the same day.

On the online platform, the eighth issue of "National Treasure" has reached nearly 2 million views within 300 hours.

The ratings scores beat many programs.

It made many TV stations itch to watch.

As for the influence on the Internet, it is still quite popular.

Not long after the broadcast, I got 2 hot searched entries.

Both are related to cultural relics.

In the past few issues, because of the artist's problem, although "National Treasure" was also hot searched one after another, it always gave people a feeling of being a celebrity.

As soon as this issue ended, the cultural relics themselves became popular searches.

This makes people feel that the positioning of the show is finally right.

After all, for a program related to cultural relics, it doesn't feel right that artists are always on the top of the list.

Although the cultural relics provided by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Museums in this issue are relatively young.

But it has gained a lot of popularity on the Internet.

In particular, the "Wangong sedan chair" is exquisite in shape and complex in decoration. It is hard to doubt that it is a work of a century ago.

With the popularity of this "million-gong sedan chair", more and more domestic skills are known.

The magazine [Museum Tianxia] published an article about traditional crafts on the "Wangong sedan chair".

"The workmanship of the Wangong sedan chair is exquisite, and it is extremely difficult to copy even now. However, in the 5000 years of Huaguo, there are not a few handicrafts similar to this. Today I will list two of them. Not a simple traditional Chinese technique."

"The first type: internal painting."

"This is a technique that originated from the painting on the inner wall of the snuff bottle. The painter uses a special fine brush to draw landscape figures inside the transparent glass pot. Because the snuff bottle itself is only the size of a palm, it is still difficult to paint on the surface. , it’s even more serious to paint inside.”

"The second type: micro-carving."

"As the name suggests, this is a pocket-sized carving technique. Carvers usually carve coins, walnut nuts, and even rice grains. In addition to the pocket-sized objects, they will also carve on large-scale objects, but the content is still Pocket craftsmanship."

"Every kind of skill is a skill that takes many years to practice. There are not a few people like the "Wangong sedan chair" that take a lot of working hours. As the saying goes, slow work produces meticulous work. This may be the people of Huaguo Artistic refinement."

This science popularization, in addition to introducing the "Wangong sedan chair", even extended two other traditional crafts.

Among them, whether it is "inside painting" or "micro-carving", it seems that it is much more complicated than "Wangong sedan chair".

It also lets many people who have not paid attention to it know that there are so many niche skills hidden in the corner.

"This miniature sculpture, I visited an ancient town before, and there is such an exhibition hall inside!"

"I just went to search for the inner painting, it's amazing!"

"Micro-carving is really amazing! How can such a small thing be carved on it!"

"If you are interested, you can search for facial plastic models. It's not easy either!"

"In addition to inner paintings and miniature sculptures, there are also clay sculptures. Huaguo's clay sculpture culture is very good!"

"Upstairs, shake hands! I'm a clay sculpture lover."

It doesn't matter if you don't comment, a comment immediately turns this comment area into a popular science corner of traditional skills.

You can see all kinds of things that you have never heard of here.

At the same time, it also stimulated a large part of the exploration of these traditional skills.

In this wave of popularity, the traffic of those handicraft bloggers on the Internet is increasing.

I usually make things alone in front of the camera, and there are not many people. Now when I turn on the phone, thousands of messages pop up.

This makes many handicraft bloggers immediately wonder whether their mobile phones are broken.

Even some universities are offering similar elective courses in keeping with current events.

It seems that the spring of traditional crafts has really come.

In addition to these, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Museum, which exhibits cultural relics, has also broken the threshold.

Watching through the screen and watching live are two completely different concepts.

After visiting the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Museums, many people posted on the Internet.

Said that if you watch "Wan Gong Sedan" on the spot, there are only two words left: "Shock!"

So far, the other exhibition halls of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Museum may be normal, but as long as you go to the exhibition hall of "Wangong sedan chair", there are definitely many young ladies and young brothers taking pictures in concave shapes.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang are already rich in Internet celebrities, and now there is so much enthusiasm about this "Wangong sedan chair" on the Internet.

Naturally, Internet celebrities have no reason to let go, so a popular check-in place was born.

Just after Xu Wen snatched the red envelope from Wang Liang, Zhang Min stumbled into Xu Wen's office.

This embarrassed appearance startled Xu Wen.

"What's wrong with you?"

"There is a big event! Come here and deal with it."

Zhang Min held the door out of breath and said.

Xu Wen was a little surprised, and slowly stood up.

"What's the matter?"

"A foreign Chinese contacted us and said he wanted to donate cultural relics."

Zhang Min swallowed his saliva and spoke after becoming smoother.

Xu Wen was taken aback, with question marks written all over his face.

"Donate cultural relics? Why contact us?"

"It's a long story"

Zhang Min took a sip of the tea on the table, and then explained the ins and outs to Xu Wen.

After a few minutes, Xu Wen understood what was going on.

An old Chinese from abroad usually likes to watch "National Treasure". He has a family heirloom of a grape jade pendant, which was spotted by a local auction house and wanted to persuade it to be auctioned.

The old man didn't want Huaguo's things to go abroad, so he wanted to donate them to domestic museums. Because he didn't know anyone in China, he sent the information directly through the official email of Xu Wen's studio.

After Zhang Min saw it, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried over to discuss with Xu Wen.

Knowing the whole story, Xu Wen nodded.

Turning to look at Zhang Min.

"In this way, you get in touch with the old man first, and I'll make a video with him first to see that thing."

"You direct the video? Aren't you afraid of being a liar?"

Zhang Min was startled.

Xu Wen smiled.

"Even if it's a liar, I'm only fooled by a few seconds of video, but if it's true, then we might get back a cultural relic, right?"

"That's right, wait, I'll contact you now."

Zhang Min nodded upon hearing this, and quickly ran out of Xu Wen's office.

Ten minutes later, Xu Wen came to Zhang Min's office.

Facing the computer, he was ready to make a video call with the old Chinese.
