How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 98 Is there a squirrel in the backyard scolding the street?Home gone? !

In the morning, the weather was fine.

Zhao Chen is tidying up the yard, because there is an interview today, so the engineering team stopped working for a day today to set aside time for Zhao Chen.

The studio has been almost renovated. There is a wide factory building with a few shelves outside and a kiln in the depth.

Zhao Chen started the live broadcast and chatted with everyone.

At this moment, the sound of a car turning off was heard outside the yard.

Hearing the sound of the car, the little ones were even more curious than Zhao Chen.

The little fox jumped up to the wall immediately, and lay down on it curiously to look out.

The little black back also looked outside, and when it saw Zhao Chen leaving, it immediately followed.

Zhao Chen pushed open the door and saw that the person who came was the beautiful reporter Zhuang Xiaoying.

At this moment, Zhuang Xiaoying had just opened the door of the commercial vehicle, and the first thing she saw were two little foxes on the wall.

"Look, there is a fox there, hurry up and take a picture!"

Zhuang Xiaoying immediately talked happily to Zhang Rui, the cameraman behind her.

Zhang Rui carried the camera, and immediately turned on the lens of the camera to take pictures of the two little foxes.

The two little guys are so cute, they are completely unaware that they may appear in the TV program next.

"Master Zhao, hello, I am an outdoor reporter from the TV station, and my name is Zhuang Xiaoying." Zhuang Xiaoying greeted Zhao Chen generously.

"Hello." Zhao Chen responded with a smile.

Whether it is the sweet-looking Wang Bingbing, the intellectual indoor reporter Zhang Yang, or the naturally beautiful outdoor reporter Zhuang Xiaoying, all of them have attracted a large number of fans.

Netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene, and the barrage suddenly became lively.

[Good guy, I followed a treasure anchor, it's amazing! 】

[This female reporter is very beautiful, do you have her Douyin? 】

[The eyes of picking reporters are not bad. These reporters are very educated and qualified, and they are so beautiful! 】

[Is Master going to be on TV? 】

Barrages kept pouring in, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was hot.

Then, Zhao Chen said to the netizens in the live broadcast room:

"Sorry, the interview process cannot be broadcast live, because the follow-up TV station will have to edit and process it, and it will eventually be broadcast on TV."

"So I will download it first!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chen turned off the live broadcast and took back the drone.

Netizens felt lost when they could not see the black screen in the live broadcast room, and then went to find other things to kill time.

Zhuang Xiaoying and photographer Zhang Rui walked into the yard, and Zhuang Xiaoying began to introduce their planned video script to Zhao Chen.

In fact, it is very simple. It is to photograph Zhao Chen's whole process of making Southern Song official kiln porcelain, then ask a few questions in the middle, and finally interview Zhao Chen.

This interview is the first issue of the cultural column "Chinese Traditional Crafts". The title of the program is "The Beauty of Porcelain".

Among them, the story of Zhao Chen and the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln museum are used as the main line of the official kiln.

For this kind of program to promote porcelain, Zhao Chen readily agreed.

The program team gave him an appearance fee, a total of 2 yuan. Although it is not much, it is only a two-day interview, which is already very good.

"Then master, let's start shooting, just show your usual steps of making porcelain." Zhuang Xiaoying said.

"Well, no problem, I'm making it here." Zhao Chen pointed to the casting machine, and then pointed to a bucket of clay and said, "These are prepared clay."

"Next, I will start from the blank making and show how many steps are involved in firing a piece of official kiln porcelain."

Shooting begins.

Zhao Chen sat on a chair and devoted all his attention to making porcelain.

Zhuang Xiaoying watched from the side, and she was surprised to find that when Zhao Chen's hand was placed in the clay, he seemed to be a different person.

His expression was focused, and his eyes were somewhat pious and lively.

Zhao Chen entered a very miraculous state.

The camera captures this image.

Soon, Zhao Chen molded several porcelain blanks.

In order to save drying time, these blanks are exactly the same as those already made yesterday.

In this way, after the blank is molded, it can be repaired directly with the dried blank.

"The next step is to adjust the porcelain blank, including the steps of digging blank, carving blank, rough blank, sticking blank, repairing blank, replenishing water, and cooling blank"

In the process of making porcelain, Zhao Chen occasionally pauses, and tells the production process of official kiln porcelain to the camera, as well as the history and development of official kiln porcelain.

Zhuang Xiaoying on the side was stunned.

Because Zhao Chen's camera sense is very good, that kind of eloquent demeanor, calm and charming.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen's youth, Zhuang Xiaoying would have thought that this person was a respectable senior.

Now Zhuang Xiaoying also understood why Zhao Chen was named a provincial official kiln porcelain art master at such a young age.

That's because they really have the ability.

In this era, young people are shining.

In many industries, young people are starting to outperform older generations.

Afterwards, Zhao Chen described in detail the techniques of glazing official kiln porcelain and the characteristics that distinguish official kiln porcelain from other porcelains.

Especially the opening and ice cracks of official kiln porcelain.

Official kiln porcelain looks like defective products with broken roots, but in fact, this is the most prominent feature of official kiln porcelain.

The glaze will burst and crack at high temperature, and the fine cracks spread all over the blue porcelain, which will have a unique beauty, a beauty caused by regret.

The interview process went smoothly. Zhuang Xiaoying is worthy of being the host, and her chatting skills are very good. The three of them get along very comfortably.

Until the evening, Zhao Chen kept replenishing water and glazing, and continued low-temperature biscuit firing. After completing the most complicated and difficult steps of official kiln porcelain, he put all these porcelains into the kiln. Today's interview is over.

This time is different from the previous times, this time, Zhao Chen carved his own unique seal on the bottom of the five pieces of official kiln porcelain:
赵辰
The seal he used was carved out of Shoushan stone. The two characters are up and down, and the font is relatively wide.

After the porcelain blank is ready, you only need to press the stamp firmly on the bottom of the porcelain blank to engrave the characters.

Such fonts are integrated with the porcelain body and cannot be destroyed.

After engraving the seal, glaze it, the glaze color will wrap the font, and it will not affect the overall and aesthetic feeling of the porcelain.

Both characters are in traditional characters, and Zhao is the portrait of Xiao on the side next to the word Zou.

Zhao is the head of a hundred surnames, and it is also the royal surname of the Song Dynasty. It was a symbol of status in that era.

The traditional Chinese character for chen is still chen, and chen represents the fifth of the earthly branches, which belongs to the dragon.

This is the origin of Zhao Chen's name.

Zhao Chen set the temperature and time on the kiln, and then walked into the yard.

Photographer Zhang Rui was arranging the equipment. Zhuang Xiaoying wanted to touch the two little foxes. She smiled and waved at the little foxes, showing a kind expression, but the two little guys didn't come over.

Little Heibei followed at Zhao Chen's feet, and two little white geese were wandering around in a daze.

The evening in the country courtyard is the most comfortable time of the day.

"Master, today's interview is over, we will come back tomorrow to shoot the effect of firing porcelain."

Seeing Zhao Chen coming out, Zhuang Xiaoying said with a smile.

"You are really amazing. No wonder you are a provincial master of porcelain art at such a young age. I am an outdoor reporter. If there are cultural programs, I may have the opportunity to meet you in the future."

Hearing Zhuang Xiaoying's words, Zhao Chen nodded and said, "I hope so."

The atmosphere was very leisurely, Zhao Chen planned to take a rest after a busy day.

At this moment, Zhao Chen suddenly heard a cry.

"Squeak~squeak~"

The call was sharp, small, and barely audible.

It is evening at this moment, the sound of insects has dissipated, and the sound of birds has also stopped, and the countryside is looking quiet.

The sudden cry caused Zhao Chen's expression to change slightly.

"Master, what's the matter?" Zhuang Xiaoying found that Zhao Chen's expression was not quite right, and asked.

"There seems to be a squirrel's cry, and the cry is a bit strange, like cursing, and it seems a little sad." Zhao Chen replied directly.

"The sound of a squirrel?" Zhuang Xiaoying was slightly taken aback by Zhao Chen's words.

"It's in the backyard, I'll go and have a look."

"Because I recently built a house, there was a tree behind that blocked the light of the main building. This tree was within the scope of my title deed. After I reported it to the Forestry Bureau, I cut down the tree."

"Maybe this tree is the home of this squirrel?"

Zhao Chen thought of something in his mind, and immediately quickened his pace.

After all, this kind of man-made thing will cause harm to small animals. Zhao Chen is a caring person, so he will feel a little guilty.

Zhuang Xiaoying thought it was very interesting, so she followed along and walked towards the back of the yard.
