Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 142 "Sell Yourself" to Pay Off the Debt

When Qin Luo put down the Kunwu knife in his hand, he heaved a long sigh of relief, and everyone else in the room also heaved a long sigh of relief.

It was morning when I came here, but it is already past six in the afternoon.

Although, the sky is still bright outside, there is no trace of evening, and the sun is still high in the sky.

"The sculpture is finished, everyone has been waiting for a long time, please feel free to watch."

Qin Luo said politely, then got up and went to the bathroom.

suddenly feel...

If you want to be a great artist, first of all, you must have a good bladder.

When I was working, I really didn't have time to put water.

The thinking cannot leave the work itself, otherwise, when it comes back, there may be faults.

Especially his one-stop carving method.

At the table.

The people in the room couldn't help crowding around. Those who were very polite didn't get started, but just looked at it repeatedly from various angles.

"Shocking, really shocking, just this piece of work is enough to be regarded as a master of jade carving."

Li Guoqin's face was a little flushed, and he seemed excited and surging.

For those who love jade, such a work is like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, a glutton seeing delicious food, and the inner madness is about to move, and the eyes and heart are enjoying it.

Someone glanced at him, but he didn't speak.

The live broadcast is now open.

Li Guoqin is high-spirited and upright, willing to make a name for the younger generation, but not everyone has such a mind.

Although, this work is indeed quite superb.

"I always feel that Master Qin's creation is slightly different from the traditional Zigang School's techniques, but I really can't figure out where the specific ingenuity is. Please give me some pointers?"

Another person spoke, with humility in his voice.

Facing this work, especially Qin Luo's technique shown in the creation, it is worth studying carefully.

study.

Facing this question, all eyes fell on Lu Jin for a moment.

She is a descendant of the Zigang faction, and she is also very famous, so she is the most qualified to answer this question.

Lu Jin pursed his lips slightly.

thought about it for a while.

"I'm thinking about it too, but it's not perfect yet."

"In terms of knife work, it is pure Zigang school, absolutely top-notch."

"However, the most amazing thing is the idea. Before the auction, I communicated with Mr. Qin. At that time, I thought that this piece of jade would be very suitable to be carved into a plate of lychees, like the jadeite cabbage."

"It's just that I didn't expect that he would handle the plate in this way, from a realistic style to a surreal style. But, I have to say, this kind of thinking is amazing enough. After carving the second layer, there is even a third layer. His Under the knife, what stands out is a majestic atmosphere."

"Actually, I now have a vague understanding of what kind of person you are, and what kind of works you can carve."

"Technology is still secondary."

Lu Jin said with great emotion.

It's like the end of all science is theology.

At the end of all arts is also ancient philosophy.

Do art first and be a man.

Cultivating art is also cultivating the mind.

At this time, Qin Luo came out of the bathroom, just as she said the last few words, she pursed her lips and smiled.

This line of thinking is correct.

"Mr. Qin, do you want to sell this work?"

At this time, Yang Jianjun suddenly asked.

Qin Luo bought this piece of jade at an auction for [-] million. Now that it is carved, it is enough to increase its value a lot.

Although Yang Jianjun asked himself that he couldn't carve such a work, he was not ashamed, because... he could afford it.

"I don't have any idea of ​​making a move yet, I'll have a look at it myself."

"To be honest, I'm really reluctant."

Qin Luo said with a faint smile.

I also have "fetishes".

Jade carving is not like purple sand and porcelain, those can be mass-produced, as long as you master the skills.

As for jade carving, there is no material, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Once you make a move, there is a high probability that it will no longer belong to you.

It's like selling a child.

Yang Jianjun laughed: "I understand, I understand, but if you want to make a move someday, please consider me, don't dare to forget."

"Hey, I'm a bit regretful now. If I had known, I would have snatched this piece of jade at the auction first, and then invited Master Qin to carve it."

"It's a loss, it's a loss, a blood loss of [-] million."

He said jokingly.

If that's the case, it's really a big hit.

It's a pity that Qin Luo produces and sells it on his own, and doesn't make a difference for the middlemen.

"If you have a good jade now, you can invite me to carve it. To be honest, I'm short of money recently, very short of money. In order to buy it, I borrowed a small one hundred million."

"All the wealth has been thrown in."

Qin Luo also said with a candid smile.

By the way, pull business for yourself.

The manual fee is all a net profit. The lifeblood of a craftsman's food, he will never dislike work.

The money owed must always be paid back.

I don't want to sell my works for the time being, and I can only sell my "body".

"Oh?"

"How long will Master Qin stay here?"

Yang Jianjun raised his eyebrows slightly, but he seemed to be in good business.

As a bigwig in the jade circulation industry, he naturally has a lot of treasures in his hands. Even if the seed material is not carved, it can be used as a collection.

Some jades are so good that people are reluctant to carve them.

Also need to prepare some goods in case of emergencies.

Now, if Qin Luo's technique can be used, then... it will obviously add a lot of value.

"I'm free until the Zigang Cup starts, hahaha..."

Qin Luo responded.

Hearing this, Lu Jin looked at him thoughtfully: "Does Teacher Qin want to take this work to participate in the Zigang Cup?"

Zigang Cup, she is also one of the judges.

Moreover, he is the most important judge, one of the three main judges, and his scores are highly weighted.

Lu Jin felt that if Qin Luo took this work to participate in the competition, it would almost be safe to book the gold award in advance.

After all, the price of the material of the jade carving itself is also a very important dimension of consideration.

"Thinking about it again, I'm not sure yet, but it doesn't feel right."

"It's a bit of a feeling of overwhelming people with materials, and it's impossible to win."

"The best thing is to choose a piece of ordinary material and find a way to fight between gentlemen in terms of knife craftsmanship."

Qin Luo didn't hide anything, and still spoke truthfully what was in his heart.

There is nothing that cannot be said to others.

What you say is what you think in your heart.

Don't engage in things like emotional intelligence, politeness, pleasantries, hypocrisy, and insincere words.

Now I have the strength to be such a person.

real person.

Lu Jin nodded slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then I will wait for your performance."

Yang Jianjun waited for the two of them to finish chatting, and then interrupted again: "Can Teacher Qin know how to live a chain carving?"

Ok?
Live ring chain carving!

These four words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This craft is definitely a housekeeping skill. The difficulty index, patience index, and perseverance index are all off the charts.

A waste of labor, waste, maybe, useless people.

The living link chain is to carve a piece of jade into a hollow inner chain that is connected to each other, and the real links are interlocking.

During the Qianlong period, it developed to its peak, but it was also a secret that was not passed on.

Craftsmen in the Qianlong period, in terms of handicraft art, can be said to have developed to the peak of the feudal dynasty.

The thin-bodied jade wares that Qin Luo made before are also one of the pinnacles.

However, it is still not the most sophisticated existence.

The most sophisticated ones have only two doors.

One is filigree inlaid with gold.

Second, it is the living ring chain carving.
