God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1186 Spirit

The difficulty is that there are five focal points in one painting.

However, the ingenuity is also here, because this painting is not a flat plane, but to be outlined on the outer surface of the bracelet, which is a large round surface.

On a large circular surface, five focal points are scattered on a circular surface of about [-] centimeters. On average, there is one focal point of about two centimeters. In this way, one focal point can be seen from any angle, and no more than two focal points can be seen. The visual effect can be said to be just right.

This kind of picture layout and structural processing can be said to be very ingenious, not to mention others, at least in Xu Jingxing's career, the ingenious structure and layout of this painting can be ranked among the top three.

However, it is obviously not enough for a painting to have only layout and structure, especially for an excellent painting, it needs finishing touches.

To be more specific, there are only branches and no flowers in this painting, which is obviously not acceptable, because those who understand painting can see that the painting is a plum blossom, but those who do not understand painting can only see a piece of dry wood.As far as the public's artistic literacy is concerned, the domestic public is obviously not qualified.

Therefore, the finishing touch is a must, and it must make people understand what the painting is.

So, what to do?

It was very simple for Xu Jingxing, just make use of the blank left.

As I said before, the main trunk in this painting is a curved and strong branch from thick to thin. The thickest part occupies almost the entire width of the picture, but the thinnest part is less than two millimeters, that is, at the extremities of the branches.

As for him, he worked hard on this tip, and a thinner branch protruded from the side of this tip, and on this thinner branch hung a budding flower bud, which was very small and slightly opened. It is open but not fully unfolded, and the stamens inside can be vaguely seen but not clearly.

In this kind of picture, we can imagine the plum blossoms we usually see. At the slender end of the branch, there is a slender twig, and an even more insignificant small flower hangs on the insignificant twig. The towering ends are about to let go, as if they are afraid of the blowing of the cold wind, and seem to be ashamed of the buds that are about to unfold, just like a beautiful girl who wants to show her beauty in the crowd but is a little shy attitude.

Such a picture is very moving to imagine.

From an artistic point of view, such a budding flower suddenly lights up the whole picture, not only telling the audience what kind of flower it is, but also telling the audience that this is the season of the first plum blossom, and through such a flower at the end The small flowers are reminiscent of the other five branches that stretch out but no one can see them. People can't help but imagine what kind of grand scene it will be on the other five branches. There are only a few flower buds that are also budding. ?Or is it already in full bloom and waiting for the grand scene of spring?

This kind of technique that can bring people unlimited imagination is not something everyone can master. It not only requires a very skilled technique, but also requires enough imagination and control over beauty. Painting, there is poetry in the painting, which can give people unlimited imagination.

After finishing the painting, Xu Jingxing himself was very satisfied.

But he re-examined it carefully, and fine-tuned some details in the painting, adjusted the positions and angles of the five branches, and adjusted the curvature of the main trunk to make the background wider and the focus sharper. concentrated.

In this way, he was satisfied, and then he picked up the electric sharpener and began to buckle the bracelet.

The production process of the bracelet is relatively simple. Cut the raw material into slices, draw two circles or two ovals on it, and then cut off the material between the two lines, so that a bracelet blank is completed.With the blank, the next step is to polish it according to the shape you design, whether it is round or flat, you can do it according to your own craftsmanship.

With Xu Jingxing's hand that can buckle beads as round as the beads coming out of the car, polishing a bracelet is not a serious job, but this time, he needs to let his true self participate in the polishing of the shape.

What does it mean to get involved with the truth?It is to use the electric sharpener to grind the shape of the bracelet blank, and let the real phase simultaneously polish the physical properties of the bracelet blank.

As mentioned earlier, jade has relatively strong physical properties, and the better the quality, the stronger it is, and because the reasons for its formation are very complicated and the age is very long, the physical properties are very tough and difficult to polish, so it requires the high-intensity participation of the original form, and The shape is polished synchronously, and the polishing effect is the best.

This step is quite simple, it’s just a laborious job, it doesn’t require much skill, just control the polishing strength of the truth, don’t crush the physical properties of the bracelet blank, you know, the strength of his truth depends on it In other words, crushing the physical properties of such a bracelet is not too simple, crushing is much simpler than polishing.

After the bracelet was formed, Xu Jingxing first polished the bracelet twice with polishing powder. At this point, this bracelet can be placed on the counter for sale, and it can be used as a treasure of the town store. After all, it is a high-quality suet jade bracelet , Suet jade seed bracelets of this level are very rare these days. The market price is guaranteed to be seven digits, and it is not a small seven digits. In jargon, it is seven digits, not one or two.

What does this "seven, not one or two" mean?That is, in units of tens of millions, 1000 million taels and 2000 million are exempt from discussion.

To put it more bluntly and accurately, the starting price is 3000 million.

There is no way, high-quality Hetian jade is so valuable, if it is auctioned, the transaction price will only be higher.If he added the title of "Xu Jingxing Purely Handcrafted", well, his current reputation doesn't seem to be very valuable, but it will only increase.

But that's the thing about jade. The most valuable thing is the material, and then the workmanship. Of course, this is not to say that the workmanship is not important, but that if measured by the market price, good materials are more precious than good craftsmanship.

Take this bracelet as an example. This kind of mutton fat jade material is exquisite in quality, extremely oily, almost flawless, and large enough to make bracelets. Let alone one piece a year, it may cost three to five years. It may not be possible to produce a piece, and even if it does appear, it may not flow into the market. It is an existence that can be encountered but not sought after.

Therefore, if Xu Jingxing wants to sell it, let alone asking for 3000 million yuan, if he meets someone he really likes, he might fill in a zero and they might be willing to take over. , There is almost no difference between 3000 million and [-] million. Anyway, those who can afford it are the super rich who are willing to throw money in this regard. Those people still need to look at the price when buying things?

It's just that Xu Jingxing took out this top-quality material and carved it into a bracelet, not to sell it for money, and even if he wanted to sell it, he would not sell such a semi-finished product.

That's right, what is a soulless thing if it's not a semi-finished product?
Next, what he has to do is to infuse soul into this bracelet, and create a "god" exclusive to this bracelet, which is called "spirit", which is the truth, um, it is more fluent to call it the truth .

Xu Jingxing pondered over this crucial process, slowly collected his mind, fixed the bracelet, picked up the electric sharpener replaced with the smallest blade, urged the truth, concentrated his energy, and turned the high-speed rotating blade Press it on the bracelet according to your own idea, and then slowly move the knife according to the sketched pattern.

At the same time, I tried my best to push the truth into polishing and transforming the physical properties of the bracelet.

This is a crucial step, and it is also a step that determines whether the true nature of the bracelet can be formed and whether it can possess a certain degree of spirituality.

With the operation of the electric sharpener, the physical properties of the bracelet are condensed little by little, and as the pattern on the surface of the bracelet gradually appears, it takes shape from the original chaos to a plum blossom, which is almost the same as the pattern on the surface of the bracelet. It is exactly the same, no, to be precise, it is more complete than the pattern, because the five twigs that were not drawn in the picture also appeared, and the shape, posture, and state are almost exactly the same as the picture imagined by Xu Jingxing when he was designing.

It's just that Xu Jingxing at this time has been devoting himself to the carving and polishing of the bracelet, with almost no distracting thoughts in his mind, and he is trying his best to achieve the true spirituality of the technical bracelet, just like the spirituality of that little suckling dog and Deng Qingqi.

The question is just a plum blossom, how can it have spirituality?You can't let a plum blossom run around like a little suckling dog to act coquettishly, right?Not to mention whether he can do it, even if he can do it, he can't do that, it's too contrary to harmony!

After much deliberation, he found that there are only two spiritualities that a plum blossom can possess, one is white, the other is fragrance, and the third is the spirit of not being afraid of the cold.

Among these three points, the third point is actually the best to deal with, because this kind of spirit is invisible and intangible, and it is completely shaped by Xu Jingxing. As long as Xu Jingxing's true strength and ability are sufficient, it will not be It is difficult to achieve, but the second point and the first point are all about awareness. It is too difficult for an ordinary person to feel the existence of the truth level.

Unless, plum blossoms can have the spirituality of a little suckling dog, and plum blossoms can be brought into contact with people actively, so that ordinary people can "smell" the fragrance emitted by this plum blossom at the level of truth when wearing this bracelet.

But the question remains, how can Meihua have the same initiative as a little suckling dog?How should this initiative be presented?
This is a difficult point.

Fortunately, Xu Jingxing had already prepared the draft. He added a little bit of wind to this plum blossom, so that the plum blossom was in a state between movement and stillness. One seemed to be moving but not moving, but it seemed to be moving, and the flowers were not moving but fragrant. Already in a state of fluttering with the wind.

But the wind is an invisible substance, so how should it be expressed?
It's very simple, as you can see from the picture.

To put it bluntly, it is through the small flower bud at the end of the main trunk in the picture to present the fact that "the spring breeze is coming".
