Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 81 Art and Reality Collide

At the end of the month again, Hu Tu came to the store as if reporting for duty.

The business in the store was very good today, they were busy entertaining customers, he sat in front of the cashier and waited for a while.When there were fewer people, Xu Qiuyu came over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Hu Tu, are you busy these days?"

"Not busy." Hu Tu said honestly, "But after staying at home for many days, it's time to go out, otherwise I will be too busy."

"Then do me a favor." Xu Qiuyu said, "A week later, Gupeng City will hold a handicraft fair. Because I am here, my dad wants me to prepare for this fair. You I am a local, I am familiar with this place, and I am good at handicrafts, so I want you to help me as a staff officer."

For a person who has never seen the world, it doesn't matter whether he is a local or not, he is not familiar with things like trade fairs.A few months ago, Hu Tu was still a student, and he rarely even went to the city, and he was not "familiar" with the things in the city.And the process of making nuclear carvings can only be done by relying on the lotus, and he is not a real artist.He scratched his head and said, "Actually, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing, but if you need help, I can come over."

Xu Qiuyu explained: "This fair is similar to the previous ones. It will present brocade, ceramics, lacquerware, carving, weaving, painting and other classic handicraft products, and invite industry traders and art collectors and other professionals. , to create a trade platform integrating display, appreciation, communication and sales for domestic handicraft practitioners. It is very important for those of us who do sales to participate in such fairs. In the past, the company was always in charge of the publicity department. It’s not too big, and I’m close, so it’s handed over to me. So we try our best to do it, it’s good to do it well, and it’s a matter of accumulating experience if it’s not done well.”

If children from rich families can also work hard, they will have many inherent advantages over children from poor families. They can make many attempts, and they can accumulate experience regardless of success or failure.What's more, they can afford to fail.Children from poor families often look forward and backward, and dare not move forward because they are afraid of failure, so they are usually inferior to children from rich families with the same effort.

Xu Qiuyu is a child of a rich family, while Hu Tu is obviously a child of a poor family.Although they are getting closer in terms of living standards, there is still a big gap between them in terms of thinking, and it will take time to completely change.

Hu Tu is not exactly the Xiaobai from before.Although he hadn't seen the trade fair with his own eyes, after several months of study and influence, he understood the importance of the matter once he heard the content of the trade fair. "This is a good opportunity," he said. "What are you going to do?"

The opportunity he mentioned has two meanings, one means that Xu Qiuyu can take this opportunity to exercise himself; the other means that he himself can use this opportunity to gain insights.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Although Xu Qiuyu is not as completely clueless as Hu Tu, she is not as confident as she is usually. This is not an easy task for her. "Our company has participated in trade fairs, and the word 'new' has always been used over the years. During this period, the company has created many new products, such as the solid-color landscape sand paintings that are being sold in my shop, and two or three models are selling well. There are also craftsmen who cooperate with you, such as you, to do some root carvings and core carvings. There are so many things to sort out and figure out the main products.”

Hu Tu paused for a moment to chew on these words, and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"I didn't tell you, I haven't thought about it yet." Xu Qiuyu said with a smile, "When the company went to participate in the exhibition before, it would make creative ideas on exhibits and structures, and strive to make buyers remember it at a glance. This time There is no need to build a venue, there is only a 3*3m booth. We have to highlight some key points and select one or two truly competitive products. If the entire booth is regarded as a work of art, how should we design it? You can help Let me think about it together."

Anyway, there is no major issue that needs to be dealt with, Hu Tu agreed, checked some materials and on-site pictures of the exhibition, and thought to himself: "I don't see anything complicated about this thing, it looks similar to ordinary shopping malls, just But the level of selling and buying things is a bit higher. However, Qiu Yu values ​​this fair so much, it’s probably not that simple.”

He calmed down and continued to inquire about the preparations needed for the fair, only to see the doorway inside.The final decision on whether to sign a contract is the quality of the product, but it is also important to let people see the quality of the product.

As for the layout of the trade fair, it is negligible to determine the time, venue and venue design and decoration, but it takes a lot of work just to prepare for the display of products, small gifts and company coloring pages. If you want to be more formal, you have to wear uniform clothes and For unified training, one week's time is very tight.

When there were fewer customers in the store, Xu Qiuyu sat down and said: "Start by determining the products to be displayed. Sand paintings are definitely needed. This is not only the company's main product in the next stage, but also my main product at this point. I want to make it one of the highlights of this fair, but the booths are too limited, and how to exhibit is a big problem.”

Solid color landscape sand painting is the most fashionable and high-end sand painting art emerging, and it is also a highlight in Jingchuang store.It improves the shortcomings of sand paintings that can only be saved for a moment, or saved by taking pictures or recording.Through special techniques, sand paintings that combine light and shadow can be permanently preserved in their original form, making French paintings, like other fine arts, valuable for decoration and collection.

Hu Tu played back the sand paintings he knew in his mind, and suggested: "Isn't there a sand painting performance? Sand painting performances have always attracted people's attention. You can find the sand painter and design a picture for the performance." Suddenly he had an idea After a move, he added, "By the way, aren't sand paintings also paintings? You can show other works while performing, such as sculptures, and you can make them with real objects and sand paintings. This is also in line with the characteristics of your sand customization."

"The idea is a good one, but it's unrealistic." Xu Qiuyu shook his head, "The booth is too small and there is no big screen, so we can't meet the basic requirements of the performance. If you want to make sand paintings, you have to make a short video first. And there is not enough time, the sand painting show takes time, and the customers may not have the leisure time to watch the sand painting show. However, the idea of ​​making real objects and sand paintings correspondingly is good and can be adopted.”

Wang Xiaoling nodded, and said: "In this way, we can add one more main product, and we need to find a product that can better integrate with sand painting. The effect of this will be more shocking."

Because Hu Tu didn't understand the situation on the spot, what he proposed was only an idealized idea, while Xu Qiuyu and Wang Xiaoling started from a practical point of view, and every idea must first consider whether it can be realized.This is the collision of art and reality, and good ideas can often come out of the collision, which is why Xu Qiuyu sought Hu Tu's help.
