How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 100 Let the world know the beauty of Huaxia porcelain!
The next day, Zhuang Xiaoying and Zhang Rui came to Zhao Chen's home to take pictures of the official kiln porcelain coming out of the kiln.

The kiln was opened, and the smell of flames and earth came out.

This kind of taste is very unique, revealing a feeling of antiquity and vicissitudes.

Zhuang Xiaoying stood watching from a distance in the workshop, and Zhang Rui stood behind a fixed camera, using the camera to clearly capture the picture of the porcelain coming out of the kiln.

Such a picture, every frame is art.

Not long after, the blue official kiln porcelain was taken out one by one by Zhao Chen.

The biggest feature of official kiln porcelain is calmness, thickness, and a beauty of simplicity.

Its color is pure, and there are irregular cracks on it, but it makes this porcelain more beautiful.

In Zhao Chen's work this time, the cracks are even thinner, and the cracks are almost invisible at first glance.

In the Xiuneisi official kiln back then, this kind of official kiln porcelain was the best, and it could only be used by emperors and princes.

"There are four more pieces. The finished product rate of official kiln porcelain is very low. Now I can probably guarantee the level of five pieces into four pieces."

"This is because if you concentrate on making five pieces, it won't take too much effort."

"If more than [-] pieces are fired at the same time, the yield may decrease."

"But it's already pretty good."

Zhao Chen looked at the porcelain on the table and said.

The most beautiful time for porcelain is the moment when it is just born.

The clay and glaze turn into a small crystal blue bowl under the flame, which contains the unique beauty of Chinese traditional culture.

"It's really beautiful!" Zhuang Xiaoying came over and exclaimed.

"Master, let me take a 360-degree panorama." Zhang Rui picked up the camera, circled the porcelain twice, and took a close-up of the porcelain with the lens.

That way it will play well when played.

"This is the porcelain from the ancient judge's kiln. It is exactly the same as the unearthed cultural relics of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is 800 years less." Zhuang Xiaoying looked at Zhao Chen and asked.

"Well, these four finished products are the same as the unearthed Xiunei official kiln porcelain." Zhao Chen nodded and replied.

"That is to say, if these pieces of porcelain still exist after more than 800 years, is it equivalent to the status of cultural relics from the Southern Song Dynasty today?" Zhuang Xiaoying asked again with a look of light in her eyes.

Zhao Chen replied with a smile: "No, that won't happen."

"The reason why ancient cultural relics are precious is that many precious cultural relics have not been handed down during the years of wars in ancient times. Some of these cultural relics were collected by private collectors, some lived overseas, and some disappeared in the flames of war."

"There are not many cultural relics handed down, so the value is high."

"In today's peaceful age, if the society remains stable, a lot of top handmade porcelain will be handed down, so the value is far from being comparable to the status of ancient cultural relics."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhuang Xiaoying suddenly realized.

"Master, I understand." She responded with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Rui added from the side: "Master, special porcelain should be fine, for example, your Yaobian Tianmu, I heard that it cannot be copied, and it is an orphan."

Hearing Zhang Rui's words, Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and admitted: "That one is indeed counted, the possibility of Yaochang is very low, I can only say that if there is divine help, it may take a long time to copy it again. to make it."

"Master, don't be too modest. Now you are a hot figure in the porcelain industry. When we filmed this episode of "The Beauty of Porcelain", many porcelain masters in many places were discussing you." Zhuang Xiaoying said again.

"Discuss me?"

"Well, at present, only you can make ancient judge kiln porcelain, not even the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln museum." Zhuang Xiaoying replied.

Zhao Chen waved his hand and said:
"Official kiln porcelain is a matter of technique. This is difficult, but sooner or later someone will be able to fire it. The ancient Faru kiln has a unique glaze formula. The Ceramic Art Research Institute is already analyzing the glaze formula, and many simulation experiments can also restore it. come out."

"I can restore the ancient judge's kiln and the ancient Faru kiln, but sooner or later someone will be able to achieve the same level as me."

"There are as many craftsmen in Huaxia Games as there are stars, and I am not the only one with talent."

Zhao Chen took it lightly.

The ancient judge kiln and ancient Faru kiln set off a wave of enthusiasm in the porcelain industry. The official kiln museum is trying to restore official kiln porcelain, and the ceramic art training institute is constantly trying to restore ancient Faru kiln.

According to Zhao Chen's analysis, within two to three years, there will be powerful craftsmen who can reproduce his techniques.

However, the craftsmen of the training institute and the museum concluded that it is impossible for anyone to reproduce the ancient judge kiln and ancient Faru kiln for at least five to ten years.

The knowledge of these two porcelains is far from that simple.

In other words, for at least five to ten years, Zhao Chen's top position in official kiln porcelain and Ru kiln porcelain will be unshakable!

Only he has mastered the ancient methods of these two kinds of porcelain!

Then, Zhuang Xiaoying interviewed Zhao Chen many questions about porcelain.

Zhao Chen described in detail the historical origin, image characteristics and style characteristics of official kiln porcelain.

His speech is very good, to the extent that it can be broadcast directly on CCTV 3 after editing.

In this way, until the afternoon, this interview was completely over.

"This episode is expected to be aired next month. There will definitely be shots of the master at that time. However, the number of shots depends on the planning and post-production decisions."

"Master Zhao, thank you for your cooperation."

At the end of the interview, Zhuang Xiaoying stood up and extended her hand to Zhao Chen gracefully.

"You have worked hard." Zhao Chen and Zhuang Xiaoying simply shook hands and bid farewell.

Then, CCTV's commercial vehicle drove away from the village.

This incident was just an episode in life, and Zhao Chen's life returned to peace.

He took out a Shoushan stone the size of a watermelon from the backyard, preparing for the second stone carving creation.

The creation this time is the second little fox juice.

"Juice, come here!"

Zhao Chen called out softly to the little fox.

Juice is a very gentle little fox, soft and cute, who likes to act like a baby.

Hearing Zhao Chen's cry, the little guy immediately ran over happily.

Zhao Chen picked it up and put it on the table.

"Let me see what kind of posture is better to carve." Zhao Chen looked at it and then at the stone, thinking in his heart.

Zhao Chen intends to use the Shoushan Stone to restore these little guys one by one.

After all, idleness is idleness, and sculpting a little every day can also cultivate sentiment.

He is a person who is obsessed with craftsmanship. Shoushan stone carving is an intangible cultural heritage, and it is worth spending some experience to learn.

Jujue tilted her head, looking at Zhao Chen with a cute face.

"Just this shape, just right!"

Seeing its puzzled expression, Zhao Chen suddenly laughed.

At this moment, Zhao Chen's cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and looked, it was Chairman Ding of the Porcelain Association who called him.

Now that Zhao Chen is a master of porcelain art in the provincial official kiln, he has more contacts with the association.

Zhao Chen wondered why Ding Wu was looking for him, and at the same time picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Master Zhao, are you busy?"

"Okay, what's the matter, President?"

"So I have something to tell you, see if you are interested." Ding Wu's voice came from the phone.

"In another month, the Raphael International Youth Porcelain Exchange Competition will be held in Europe. This is one of the most famous art exchange activities in the world. The Huaxia Traditional Handicraft Association will also send people to participate."

"This is an international competition, and the country's cultural department needs to come forward to be eligible."

"Our Ministry of Culture will send two people over there, and they have the idea of ​​recommending you to go. I'll ask for your opinion."

Hearing Ding Wu's words, Zhao Chen's eyes gradually lit up.

Raphael International Youth Porcelain Exchange Competition?
Zhao Chen knew that this communication contest had a very high standard.Raphael is one of the three masters of the European Renaissance. This competition is also held in memory of Raphael.

In reality, there are many international art competitions, some are art exhibitions, some are photography competitions, and there are porcelain exchange activities.

The Raphael International Porcelain Competition is a form of competition, inviting outstanding artists from all over the world to participate here, and eventually an international exhibition will be held, and these works will be exhibited at the exhibition.

There are three awards in the competition, namely the Best Creative Award, the Best Visual Effect Award, and the highest-level Best Art Award.

"Of course I would like to go to this kind of activity." Zhao Chen is a person who likes to participate in art exchange activities.

Although I don't like to be lively, it is a very good thing to see many works of art being born.

"Okay, that's no problem. Zhao Chen, in the past porcelain competitions, our results were not very good."

"This time you go, come on!"

"The competition stipulates that the contestants should not be over 30 years old, and it will take 7 days to make on site, and you can bring the materials in advance."

"Departure on the 5th of next month, there is still a month to go, you should prepare well."

There was more than enough time, enough for Zhao Chen to prepare.

He nodded and replied, "No problem."

One month later, it will be a world-class porcelain exchange competition.

However, the situation is far less optimistic than people thought.

Because, there are seven top luxury porcelain brands in the world, and they are also the top porcelain with the greatest influence. None of these porcelains come from China.

The number one porcelain in the world is the Royal Porcelain of Copenhagen, Denmark, and its graceful and luxurious style is a symbol of its status.

The second place is the Hungarian Helun Porcelain, whose exquisiteness has attracted worldwide attention. In the country of Magnesium, Helun Porcelain is the top luxury.

In third place is Wedgwood Porcelain from Yingguo, whose embossed jade series is quite popular.

Of the seven most luxurious porcelains in the world, none of them come from China, the birthplace of porcelain!
After Zhao Chen knew the news that he was going to participate in the competition, his originally calm blood surged with excitement.

This time, he wants the world to see the beauty of Huaxia porcelain!
