How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 80 A class with a hot atmosphere, the master's first-person perspective!

In the evening, Zhao Chen received a call from Tao Yiming, a staff member of the Forbidden City.

Tao Yiming told Zhao Chen that the Forbidden City wanted to include the Yaobian Tianmu teacup made by him.

In addition to more than 180 million registered cultural relics, the Palace Museum also has more than 6000 modern and modern exquisite collections, all of which are representative cultural collections.

Zhao Chen's Yaobian Tianmu teacup fully meets this condition.

"Um, is it free?" Zhao Chen asked tentatively, thinking of the dozens of Tianmu lamps that had been destroyed, which were all small money he had worked so hard to earn.

Tao Yiming was also stunned. It stands to reason that being able to be collected by the Palace Museum is the greatest pursuit of craftsmen.

"It doesn't count, there are several thousand dollars as a thank you fee and a certificate." Tao Yiming replied.

"That won't work. I'm building a house and need money, so I plan to sell this teacup. I'm sorry." Zhao Chen resolutely refused.

Tao Yiming also had some difficulties, but there was no way around it. Many of the exhibits in the museum were donated by the society.

Although public funds can be used to purchase cultural relics, approval and signature from superiors are required.

Moreover, the price is generally not too high.

As for modern handicrafts, the museum does not have much funding, so it is impossible to pay high prices.

However, there are other ways.

Zhao Chen doesn't care about the name, but there are many collectors who do.

This Yaobian Tianmu teacup can be photographed by a collector and donated to the Palace Museum.

In this way, the record of this exhibit is: "made by Zhao Chen, a master of official kiln porcelain art, and donated by a folk collector"

So much the better.

Moreover, this situation is not uncommon.

"Master Zhao, I can help you contact collectors, as long as the price is right. There are many people in Kyoto who are interested in this kind of thing."

Tao Yiming told Zhao Chen about this channel.

Zhao Chen readily agreed.

Yaobian Tianmu can be displayed in the Palace Museum, which is naturally the best.However, if the exhibition is free, Zhao Chen still feels uncomfortable.

Not long after, a collector in Kyoto contacted him.

In places like Kyoto and Shanghai, there are rich people everywhere. For them, an opportunity to write their names in the Forbidden City is more precious than any collection.

Therefore, after communication between the two parties, Yaobian Tianmu Tea Cup confirmed the transaction at a price of 200 million Huaxia coins.

For a handicraft made by a modern craftsman, this price is already very high.

The ownership of Yaobian Tianmu was finally confirmed.

That is to put it in the Palace Museum as a modern exhibit to show its style to tourists from all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that that night, several Japanese collectors came to Zhao Chen's yard and proposed the idea of ​​buying Yaobian Tianmu.

And they bid 400 million Huaxia coins, which directly doubled the price.

However, this time Zhao Chen resolutely refused.

For him, money is very important, but not the most important.

He is very satisfied with being collected and exhibited by the Palace Museum, and he will not change it.

In addition to Yaobian Tianmu, Tuhaozhan and Youdizhan have also been bought by many people in Taoyi Village.Rabbit hair is more expensive, 8 a piece.One piece of oil dripping cup is only 3.

Two pieces of rabbit hair and eleven pieces of oil droplets were finally sold for 49 yuan.

In addition, Zhao Chen's rating as a provincial official kiln porcelain art master has also come down. Zhao Chen plans to add his seal to his works from now on.

On the second day, Sanbao Pottery Art Village, Ceramic Art Training Institute.

At this moment, the students waited eagerly, their eyes turned to the door.

When Zhao Chen appeared in the pottery workshop, everyone immediately became excited, and even their eyes lit up a little.

"The master is here!"

"Really so handsome!"

"I'm so excited, I have to post on Moments to celebrate!"

"Senior knows that we can meet Master Zhao in this discussion and exchange class, don't mention how envious!"

The students were discussing happily.

Behind the workshop, there are about eight or nine teachers standing.

These teachers are master craftsmen of the training institute, and their skills are very good. They all come to listen to Zhao Chen's lectures because of their reputation.

Looking at the knowledge-seeking and excited eyes of the students below, Zhao Chen unconsciously became serious, but his expression looked very relaxed, quite like a master.

At the same time, with the consent of the training institute, Zhao Chen's live broadcast room also broadcast the classroom scenes in real time.

Zhao Chen walked to the front of the workshop, smiled and said to the students:

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhao Chen. I'm invited by the college this time to give you a practical class on pottery."

"Everyone has a different understanding of craftsmanship. If there is something wrong, please criticize and correct me."

"What I'm talking about is the techniques of the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln and the Southern Song Ru kiln in the molding process, and their differences."

"Next, I will explain the details that need to be paid attention to while shaping the porcelain blank."

"You can follow me to do it together, and I will help you correct it in time."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the students immediately geared up and were eager to try.

The classroom atmosphere is very hot.

There was a pottery turntable in front of each student, and it didn't take long for everyone to prepare the pottery clay.

This scene looks a lot like DIY pottery activities in shopping malls.

It's just that the requirements for the ceramics of the Ceramic Art Research Institute are much higher, and the height of the porcelain blank must be at least [-] centimeters, which is very difficult.

After all, the DIY pottery in the mall is at most six or seven centimeters in height.

Then, Zhao Chen began to tell everyone about some historical origins of the official kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty, and how the craftsmen made pottery in the past.

Then, he explained some details of the preform.

The students listened carefully.

A silent drone hovers at the back of the workshop to film the scene.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were also amused, as if they were following the master's online class.

[Brother Chen spoke really well, I can't wait to play with mud and pinch pots now! 】

[A master is a master, and the lectures are so interesting! 】

[I used to sleep in class when I was in college, but I didn't expect to actively watch the live broadcast of class now! 】

【Haha, it's a practical class after all, it looks fun, you can let the master teach advanced mathematics, and you'll still fall asleep a lot! 】

The barrage is very lively.

Most people have never seen the daily life of students in China University, so everyone is very interested in such courses.

There are more and more people in the live broadcast room.

The carcass of official kiln porcelain is relatively thin and the difficulty is relatively high.Therefore, after Zhao Chen shaped his own porcelain blank, he went down to give one-on-one guidance.

He commented on the porcelain blanks made by each student.

Sometimes, he would help the students to perfect the porcelain blanks, and with just a light pinch, the porcelain blanks that were originally crooked turned out to be much rounder in his hands.

This miraculous technique stunned the students below.

"Why are his hands so skillful? The muscles in his hands are so flexible that he can control the strength of each part!"

"I used to believe that craftsmanship requires talent, but I didn't expect such a perverted talent to exist!"

"The neck of the gooseneck bottle was broken halfway through I shaped it, and the mud was in a mess. Master Zhao came up and pinched it twice, and it was saved. I was numb!"

"It's fine if you're skilled, but you're also handsome. I was next to me just now, and my heart was beating so fast!"

The students whispered.

The atmosphere in this class was extremely hot.

Many students took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Zhao Chen's explanations. Someone posted these short videos on the Internet and received a lot of likes from netizens.

The title of the short video is: Master Zhao's first-person perspective on teaching.

Netizens were also amazed when they saw Zhao Chen correcting the students' mistakes and restoring the porcelain blanks in the video.

He really deserves to be a master of art. There is nothing wrong with his demeanor and technique.

Then, after the porcelain body experience of official kiln porcelain was over, Zhao Chen began to talk about the history and details of Ru kiln porcelain.

When he was lecturing, everyone listened carefully.

After all, Zhao Chen University's major is history, and he has personally experienced the era of the Song Dynasty, so the things he talks about make people feel as if they were actually there.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also listened carefully.

This kind of live broadcast is unique, but its popularity is surprisingly high.
