How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 77 Like the universe starry sky, countless colors are turning!

At the Standing Committee of Craftsman Rating, a group of leaders are discussing and appraising.

The focus of their comments was Zhao Chen.

On the one hand, Zhao Chen's achievements are too great. The restoration of the ancient judge's kiln and the ancient Faru kiln can be said to be the most significant achievement in the field of traditional handicrafts this year.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen was too young, he had just graduated from university for two months.

"I think it's no problem to judge him as a provincial official kiln porcelain art master. Everyone has seen his craftsmanship, which is no worse than any provincial art master. The success rate of firing porcelain is higher than that of national art masters."

"Shouldn't this kind of talent be given the treatment he deserves?"

Ding Wu, the president of the Porcelain Association, argued hard and said.

Under normal circumstances, in the selection of provincial-level porcelain art masters, the other leaders listen to Ding Wu's opinion. After all, Ding Wu is the person in charge of the Porcelain Association and has the right to speak.

But this time things are special.

"He's too young." Zhang Zhizuo, vice president of the Traditional Handicraft Association, said something.

Hearing this, Ding Wu frowned, he knew that this point really had a great impact.

This is not only about Zhao Chen, but also about the authority of the association.

Bai Jinzhong, the owner of the Traditional Handicraft Association, said:
"Everyone knows that the selectors of provincial art masters are at least selected after the age of 42, and no young people have ever been selected before."

"It's not that no one can have such a skill, what's more important is whether the young man can hold on to this position."

"When you are in your 40s, you basically don't have any big desires. The most important thing for such people is reputation and reputation, so they will value this honor very much."

"But for a 20-year-old, come up and judge him as a provincial art master, will he become impetuous, will he make a lot of money with this name, and will he use this name to mess around?"

"Take a step back and talk about it, what should I do if I destroy him?"

"So, I really can't comment."

Bai Jinzhong's words directly expressed the worries in everyone's hearts.

Seniors, they value their reputation very much, so they will be more clean and self-conscious, so as to ensure that their reputation will not be damaged.

For example, masters such as Sun Maohai and Liu Hanlin are all conscientious.

But young people, young people in mountain villages, if they can easily cash in millions with this name, will they become greedy for profit?
Probably!

Hearing Bai Jinzhong's words, Ding Wu couldn't say anything more.

Although he wanted to tell these people that Zhao Chen was a very steady and down-to-earth young man, these people wouldn't believe it, they didn't believe that young people would be steady.

Because when they were young, they did a lot of things.

Therefore, the members of the Standing Committee unanimously rejected the decision to select Zhao Chen as the provincial official kiln porcelain art master.

Just wait for the materials to come out, sign and seal, and then the announcement can be issued.

For such a result, Ding Wu could only lament.

The selection of the other two senior craftsmen also failed, their pure strength has not yet met the requirements.

Zhao Chen didn't know anything about the Traditional Handicraft Association, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

All his attention was put on Yaobian Tianmu.

On the second day, Zhao Chen glazed all the Tianmu cups, using the same method of oil drop glaze, and the methods are different.

Then, after waiting for another day, Zhao Chen chose to open the kiln to fire porcelain again.

But this time, Zhao Chen chose a completely different method from before.

"The environment has changed. In ancient times, Yaobian Tianmu could be fired, but now it cannot be fired, because the environment of modern kilns is too stable."

"I need a change of circumstances."

"What iron needs is a reduction reaction. Fire can consume the oxygen in the air. In this case, it will reduce the oxidation of iron and increase the reduction of iron."

"This is the art of Yaobian Tianmu."

"so."

Zhao Chen adjusted the temperature of the kiln, and then turned on the kiln.

But careful netizens discovered that Zhao Chen did not completely close the iron door of the kiln, but left a gap.

That is, the air can go directly into the kiln, which can reach temperatures of up to 800 degrees Celsius.

In this way, the interior of the kiln is completely unstable.

This is the effect Zhao Chen wants.

It is also a key step in his thinking!
Previous kilns were closed and air circulation inside was strictly controlled, but this time it was different.

This time, the environment inside the kiln will change a lot.

Just wait a day to see the final result.

"The reason why Yaobian Tianmu is so difficult is that in addition to the reduction of iron, there is also the segregation of silicon. The film formed on the glaze is in a very unstable state."

"The change of glaze color requires the action of silicon and iron on the glaze surface, coupled with the rapid cooling of the temperature, to achieve it."

"This time, fifty Tianmu lamps are equivalent to fifty completely different individuals."

"Every individual has infinite possibilities."

"I hope that with a cup of tea, I can successfully transform."

Zhao Chen said expectantly.

Next, Zhao Chen was busy by the kiln, adjusting the temperature of the kiln from time to time.

Since the door is open with a gap, the high temperature will be released from the gap, making the surrounding air hot.

Zhao Chen was already drenched in sweat by the side of the kiln.

Zhao Chen thought of the folk kilns by the river in the past.

When it was time to fire the kiln, the fire was in full swing, and the fire almost dyed the river red. The folk craftsmen were busy in the kiln shirtless, and they were also sweaty.

But this is more sincere.

"Jar, go to the yard and wait." Zhao Chen was worried that the puppy and fox couldn't stand such a high temperature, so he let them go out and wait.

The drone flew high, taking pictures of Zhao Chen's work as usual.

Everyone was once again moved by Zhao Chen's craftsman spirit.

[Brother Chen really worked hard! 】

[Counting the previous time, I have been in Sanbao Pottery Art Village for half a month, and I am busy with crafts every day. 】

[Everyone called him the master before, I thought it was a joke, but after watching it for a while, I found out that he is really a master! 】

[A real artist, I love it so much! 】

The barrage flooded in again.

The high temperature surged in the kiln, and the surrounding air became a little distorted.

Fifty pieces of exquisite teacups are constantly changing.

At the same time, the China Space Administration released the latest news that the Shenzhou 14 spacecraft is about to launch.

The level of this cultural celebration has been raised once again.

China's aerospace industry is already far ahead of the world.

The achievements made by astronauts one after another are also worthy of praise.

As a result, the enthusiasm of artisans across the country is high, and all provinces will send the most representative handicrafts to participate in this gift activity.

It is worth mentioning that after the exhibition, the handicrafts of the craftsmen will continue to be owned by the craftsmen. Therefore, the value of the handicrafts that can appear in this gift event will inevitably rise several levels.

Time passed little by little.

Slowly, at dusk.

The sun is like a fire, printing the clouds red.

Zhao Chen wiped the sweat off his head, and shut down the running kiln.

"call!"

He stepped outside to enjoy the cool evening breeze.

"This is the second attempt. The conditions should be met, but whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on fate."

"Sometimes one out of ten pieces can appear, and sometimes there are tens of thousands of pieces without Yaobian Tianmu."

"We can only hope for fate."

Zhao Chen said with emotion.

There are more and more people in the live broadcast room. After all, Zhao Chen's five or six days of hard work are all for this moment.

So, everyone is very much looking forward to the results.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the temperature inside the kiln was almost cooled, Zhao Chen fully opened the door, and then began to take out the porcelain one by one.

In the Tianmu cup fired this time, the probability of defective products is even higher. Due to the lack of a constant environment, the fusion of the iron body and the glaze is more variable.

Some Tianmu cups are deformed even at the mouth of the bowl, and some Tianmu cups are completely wrong in color.

All 25 pieces of Tianmu lamps from the first kiln were taken out, but there were still no Yaobian Tianmu lamps, and there were not even many good Tianmu lamps.

Zhao Chen was slightly disappointed.

Then, Zhao Chen opened the door of the second kiln, and took a flashlight, directly lighting up the inside of the kiln.

It was at this moment that Zhao Chen saw the light.

Saw a dreamy, colored light.

Like the cosmic starry sky, under the light blue halo background, countless colors are rotating.

For a moment, only astonishment remained in Zhao Chen's eyes.
