The two got out of the car and before they took two steps, they heard a call from outside the gate: "Xu Jing! He Ying! This way!"

"Brother!" Xu Jing immediately recognized Cheng Bo's voice, and quickly picked up He Ying, who was looking at the entire film and television base, and ran over, asking anxiously, "Have they started?"

"No, I'm just waiting for you!"

Cheng Bo said and handed the two helmets to the two girls. When facing He Ying, he still had a smiling expression:
"Xu Jing told me last time that she was particularly interested after hearing you talk about ancient architectural color paintings. It just so happened that our school participated in the construction of the film and television city of "The Craftsman of the Ming Dynasty". As interns, we sometimes get to know some I would bring her over to take a look at the painting work. Today I heard her say on the phone that the great ancient architect from Tianyang is coming to visit, and all our members are very happy!"

"Master? I really don't dare to take this seriously." He Ying felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Xu Jing and then confessed to Cheng Bo, "I'm just a sophomore student, and all I learned was theoretical knowledge from books. . But you are different. Not only are you a member of the Xiangshan Construction Association, you also went to the Palace Museum to study. Your practical ability and professional level must be much better than mine."

"Stop being modest! You are Tang Guoguo's team leader. She is so powerful, you must be even better!" Speaking of Tang Guoguo, Cheng Bo never hesitated to praise her.

"Okay, okay! You two masters, stop complimenting each other! If you don't go in, they will start in a hurry. If we can't keep up with the whole process, won't we skip class in vain?"

The two felt that what Xu Jing said was reasonable, so they stopped talking about boring topics and went to the security office next to them to register.Because there are actors filming inside, the security personnel will interrogate the two people in more detail.

Hearing the news, Xu Jing was even more satisfied with the results of skipping class. She didn't forget to wink at He Ying when she went through the security check: "I didn't expect there was an unexpected gain. Let's see if we can get an autograph later!"

"Yeah, okay." He Ying nodded and put the bag on the conveyor belt to wait for security inspection.

Speaking of skipping classes, this is the first time in He Ying's student career.

If Xu Jing hadn't been persistent and she was really tired, she might not have followed.

This week, the four girls in dormitory 3306 have been in a tense and busy state.As the team leader and shouldering heavy responsibilities, He Ying is naturally no exception.

The course she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts sounds simple. In addition to practicing lines, she also learned color mixing.

But the lines of ancient buildings must not only ensure horizontal and vertical lines, but also need to have a sense of space. The pattern details of each component do not allow for the slightest error. She can only form muscle memory in her wrists through constant practice.So when He Ying returned to the dormitory every night, his entire arm would be so swollen that he couldn't lift it. He even put plaster on his wrist to relieve pain.

Although color mixing is not difficult, she has to try again and again to hone her hand. She does not need to look at the paint tray. She can mix a satisfactory color just by the water content of the brush and the weight of the paint dipped in it, so as to deal with occasional attacks. red-green color blindness.She even uses her fingers to twist the paint and distinguish the shades of azurite green by the thickness of the pigment particles.Therefore, the fingertips that were originally slender and white are now stained black and blue by the paint.

In this way, the creative art of traditional Chinese painting slowly turned into a mechanically repetitive technical discipline in He Ying's case.

From pavilions and pavilions to palaces and temples, from door and window carvings to caisson ceilings, as well as tile-ridged beasts and daylilies and dragon patterns, she disassembled and reassembled them and painted them many times.No matter the appearance or details, she strictly followed Ye Fangyu's requirements in every stroke.

Whenever Xu Jing and other Chinese painting students admired that her lines were straighter than those measured with a ruler, she would always smile and say that her paintings were full of craftsmanship and could not be called paintings.

And she is also going further and further on her way to becoming a color painting craftsman.

After a series of complicated procedures, He Ying and Xu Jing were finally introduced to the gate of the film and television city by Cheng Bo.

Although many buildings are covered by green nets, you can still see them in full as long as you stop for a moment.

What puzzled He Ying was that they clearly saw the roof of the palace that had been built on the highway, but when they walked in to take a look, they found that the palace was actually a semi-finished product. You can also see the internal wooden structure.

Along the way, the other buildings they saw were also of different styles and incomplete.

Cheng Bo saw her doubts and hurriedly explained:

"Because the TV series "The Craftsman of the Ming Dynasty" is about the life of the legendary architect Kuai Xiang of the Ming Dynasty. He designed and built countless buildings in his life, so these buildings of different styles and levels are needed for the scenery. And there are many shots. They all need to present the picture of the ancient building construction in progress, so there are many semi-finished products that need to be built here.”

"No wonder Tianyang City Government didn't publicize it. It turns out this is just a construction site!" Xu Jing curled her lips dissatisfied.

Little did he know that these semi-finished products were an unexpected surprise for He Ying!

It's great to go to BJ to inspect ancient buildings, but they can only see the exterior.The complex internal structure and construction details can only be seen here.

She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the palace from all angles.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Bo followed He Ying to the side of the main hall, which was called Fengtian Hall in the Ming Dynasty.

This main hall has been restored to a ratio of almost 1:1. Under the double-eaves verandah covered with golden glazed tiles, there is a huge space eleven bays wide and five bays deep.Under the rows of large and small dougongs, there are unpainted large square beams and eaves and pillars that have just been painted with red paint.Looking further inside, you can clearly see the six large pillars in the center, standing on the unpaved cement floor. Even if there is no Lifen Anjin Yunlong, it is enough to make this replica of the highest level palace full of slippery slopes. The film and television base with rails and spotlights exudes a heavy and powerful momentum.

"Let's talk about this replica of the Ming Dynasty Fengtian Temple!" Seeing He Ying taking out his mobile phone to take pictures from all angles, Cheng Bo introduced it more enthusiastically, "its construction process is an important main line of "The Ming Dynasty Craftsman God". From the very beginning, some of our staff members have to wear the clothes of Ming Dynasty craftsmen and work as extras while working! This will continue until the end of the filming. People in your group can come anytime they want."

"Then thank you so much! When we come back from the inspection, we will treat you to dinner!"

"You're welcome, just do me a favor when the time comes!"

He Ying, who was selflessly taking pictures, didn't notice Cheng Bo's embarrassed expression at all. She put away her phone and without asking what she was doing, she heard the assistant director's voice coming from the radio high up next to her:
"Attention, everyone is here. Gather in the open space behind Fengtian Hall in 10 minutes to shoot the next group portrait and pre-process the ground battle materials."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jing, who wanted to watch the excitement, pulled He Ying and ran towards the back of Fengtian Hall.

Cheng Bo, while chasing, whispered to the two of them: "Stand at the outermost edge. Don't make a sound before the director calls CUT. If you have any questions, wait until the crew finishes shooting this scene before going over to ask the master. Did you hear it?" "

"Brother, you are so long-winded, we know it!"

Xu Jing was a little impatient. She didn't even know what the craftsmanship of the floor was, so why did she want to ask questions about the pre-processing of the materials for the floor?At this moment, how to find a perfect location to watch the crew filming was the problem she was eager to solve.He Ying was naturally very curious.

But when she stepped out of the Fengtian Hall, her gaze passed over the crew, passed between the cameras, and settled on the bright red liquid spilled by an extra.

But he refused to take another step forward.

"Let's go, He Ying?" Xu Jing turned around in confusion, only to see He Ying behind her with a pale face and cold sweat on her forehead. She subconsciously shouted, "What's wrong with you?"

"Yes, He Ying, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He Ying only felt that the voices of Xu Jing and Cheng Bo were very far away. She shook off Xu Jing's hand and said, "I'm going to take a rest." Then she stumbled towards Fengtian Temple behind her.

The cement floor in front of her suddenly became rippled, and flashed back brightly and darkly. She closed her eyes and waited for a few minutes. When she opened them, everything in front of her became what she hated most.

The pillars of Fengtian Hall turned green.

At the same time, it turned green, as well as Xu Jing's newly dyed red hair.

"What's wrong with you, He Ying? Are you having a heatstroke or are you too tired?" Cheng Bo was worried, "Why don't you go back to school?"

Xu Jing nodded: "Yes, He Ying, you have worked too hard these days, why don't you get here first today."

"Okay." He Ying didn't insist, got up and walked out.

He walked quietly to the door and finally asked Cheng Bo: "What is the red liquid that the master poured out? The color doesn't look like paint."

"Oh, that's fresh pig blood, used to make blood material." Cheng Bo said without hesitation, "Blood material is widely used as a cementing material in the shells of ancient buildings, so during filming, the director also asked us to People try to restore traditional craftsmanship as much as possible.”

"Sure enough." He Ying lowered his head and said.

Cheng Bo didn't hear clearly and asked: "What?"

"Nothing, but if there is no fresh pig blood to make the blood material, can other materials be used instead?"

"It's not impossible." Cheng Bo thought thoughtfully, "There is no need to add blood to the lacquer floor battle, but this process is difficult, expensive, and very complicated, and almost no one uses it anymore. There is also the use of modern technology to imitate Yes, but the craftsmanship of ancient buildings is often used in the repair of cultural relics buildings, so we will still use traditional crafts and materials to do it. Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"It's nothing, I just don't understand. I want to know more about it. Thank you." He Ying was a little annoyed, but didn't know how to express it, so he had to smile.

Xu Jing didn't understand, so she asked Cheng Bo while waiting for the bus: "You guys have been talking for a long time, can you tell me what is Dizhan craftsmanship?"

Seeing that He Ying was uncomfortable, Cheng Bo answered by himself: "To put it simply, most of the ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were wooden structures. In order to protect the wood from wind, sun, and rain, the craftsmen also wanted to facilitate the installation of wooden parts. To make oil paintings on the surface, you will use ash, linen, cloth and other materials to make a solid shell and level the surface. This technique is called Dizhuang."

"That's it!" Xu Jing nodded, "No wonder I went to visit the ancient building and saw that the pillars were so smooth, and I was shocked that such powerful craftsmen could polish the wood so round. I just found out today that they didn't directly polish the wood. Paint it!”

"Of course not!"

Cheng Bo smiled and handed He Ying another bottle of water: "Today is a bit rushed, but the film and television base has always been here, and your group is welcome to come over at any time."

"I'm really troubling you today." He Ying took the water and felt a little guilty, "If it weren't for me, you could continue to watch the filming."

"Don't say that, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future." Cheng Bo smiled, paused, and finally took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his backpack, "Speaking of trouble, I also have something to trouble you with. Can you please , help me transfer this box of wisteria cakes to Tang Guoguo? I think you will leave for BJ inspection tomorrow. She will be hungry on the way, so she can eat it as a snack."

"of course can!"

He Ying was happy to oblige. She took the wisteria cake and was about to say that Tang Guoguo would like it when she unexpectedly received a call from her.

"Cao Cao is really here. I'll take Tang Guoguo's call."

Just pressing the answer button, before He Ying could speak, Tang Guoguo's anxious voice came from the other end:
"He Ying! Something bad has happened! Lou Xinyue and Chu Mingchen got into a fight with Chen Jingyi and Wang Jinyuan at the Academy of Fine Arts! Now they have been called to Professor Tan's office. I'm afraid they will be punished!"

"What?" He Ying was shocked, "They are both fine, why did they go to the Academy of Fine Arts?"

Before he could elaborate, the taxi arrived at the door. He Ying declined Cheng Bo and Xu Jing's offer to take her back and got in the car.

Watching the taxi drive away, Xu Jing felt a little strange: "Why was He Ying acting weird just now? She was very talkative when she first came here, why did she talk so little later?"

"Maybe it's because we are competitors. I stand with her, not to mention how nervous I am!"

"I think you are nervous because you think she is too beautiful!" Xu Jing joked with a smile.

"No! It's impossible for your brother and me to be so nervous based on appearance alone!" Cheng Bo followed Xu Jing towards the gate of the film and television city, but he still looked back frequently and whispered unconsciously, "It's an aura. , the aura of meeting my opponent in chess gave me a sense of crisis."

But he felt that He Ying's reaction just now was really abnormal. After thinking for a long time, he widened his eyes:
Could she be bleeding?
