"Master, I understand what you mean, whether a piece of jade is worth or not, the key is not in the jade, but in the person, the tree is dead, the person is alive, you have to use your brains more."
Tang Dashao said in a deep voice."
Hehe, that's what it means, you see this piece of jade, the texture is not very good, it can be said to be the middle and lower, if it is cut into small pieces, made into jade pendants, pendants and the like to sell, a piece is estimated to be worth dozens of yuan, hundreds of dollars, the whole piece of jade is completely divided, and it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan at most.""
But after such a process, the main part is carved into a mountain, the fracture is carved into a cliff, and the variegated part is carved into a forest, the value of this jade has completely changed, and I can conclude that when I completely carve out this ornament, its value will definitely not be less than two million, and it will increase in value in the future.""
Look at it this way, Brother Wang, he has made a lot of money."
Tang Dashao said with a smile."
Of course, how can the jade depreciate unless it is demolished in its entirety, even if it is demolished, I have a way to make it not lose money," Xing Lao said with some pride."
That's right, Master, your manual fee is not collected in vain," Tang Dashao complimented.At this time, Shi Yan walked over with three shelves in his hand, and there was a picture on each shelf, which seemed to be made in the form of a roll-up banner, and then fixed on the shelf, "These four pictures add up to a panorama, I heard that there is a CAD tool recently, which can be designed by the computer first, which is much more convenient than drawing, but unfortunately I don't know how to use it, and your third senior brother doesn't understand." ”Xing Lao shook his head and said."
CAD's tool should be a computer software, I don't know much about this thing, if you have a need, I'll ask Brother Wang to find a master in this area to teach you" Tang Dashao said softly."
Hehe, this is okay, and let your three senior brothers learn together, so you don't have to worry about drawing."
Xing Lao said with a smile."
Master, these four pictures were all drawn by you yourself," Tang Dashao said in surprise as if he had discovered a new continent.Although these four pictures look quite strange, they are not as majestic as the landscape pictures seen on weekdays, but the orderly lines, pine branches and cypress leaves are also well-founded, and this painting is also a must in the eyes of Tang Dashao's appreciation."
Well, it's all painted by me, before we carve something, we always have to design the shape, size, generally speaking, it is measured by hand, and then drawn, this hand is a necessary skill for carvers, and you will have to learn it in the future."
Xing Lao nodded."
Master, I feel that you are no less than some painters."
Tang Da Shaodao."
It's not inferior to a painter, that's definitely an exaggeration, you ask me to paint a person, a landscape, I definitely can't draw it, but you ask me to draw a bracelet, draw a design drawing of an ornament, you can.It's like a carpenter, he can draw tables, chairs and benches at any time, but I can't do that, I have a specialization in the arts, and that's probably it. ”Xing Lao shook his head and said."
Yes, junior brother, Master doesn't know how many design drawings he has drawn over the years, there are several thick stacks in the small warehouse, if you are interested, you can look through it yourself."
Shi Yan said with a smile."
Master, can you give me these drawings?"
Tang Dashao suddenly asked."
Give it to you, what do you want it to do," Xing Lao asked."
Exhibition," Tang Dashao gently spit out two words from his mouth, "Exhibition, this thing can also be exhibited," Xing Lao asked a little dumbfounded."
Why can't these drawings bear witness to the journey of a carver's life, from a beginner to a master, and of course can be exhibited.""
If Master is willing, after my museum is completed, I can open a special exhibition hall for Master, hang all these drawings of Master, and then explain each drawing, which will definitely attract a large number of people who are interested in carving."
Tang Dashao said softly."
Hehe, let you say this little guy, I am a little moved, what people live for nothing more than fame and fortune, as soon as your exhibition hall opens, if it is really popular, then your master may really leave a strong mark in the carving world like Lu Zigang's predecessors."
Xing Lao smiled lightly."
Master, you agreed," Tang Dashao said in surprise.The construction of his museum must be big enough, but the collection is not enough, and it is not bad to open a master-level exhibition hall of engraving drawings, which can attract a lot of popularity "No, I don't agree" Xing Lao shook his head lightly and said."
Why," Tang Dashao asked puzzled.As you said, people live for a lifetime, for fame and fortune, if these drawings enter the museum, and then publicize it, it will definitely be popular, once this fame is there, profit will come, fame and fortune, Tang Dashao is a little puzzled, why did the master refuse "Because I haven't really taken that step yet, I don't have this qualification." ”Xing Lao shook his head and said."
Take that step," Tang Dashao wondered."
Well, it is the so-called master realm of the realm of the grandmaster, in fact, not only me, many people have reached it, but the realm of the grandmaster, except for Lu Zigang's predecessors, I haven't heard of anyone who can reach it, there are many romantic figures in the carving world who are famous for a while, and your master and I used to be one of them.""
We have all reached the realm of masters, but we can't break through to the realm of grandmasters, we can't reach this realm, Jing will never be able to experience the mentality of Lu Zigang's predecessors, and we can't carve his unique Zigang jade, let alone pass it on to future generations.""
Your kind of hype-like propaganda may be able to raise my reputation to a peak, and even become a representative of the carving industry, but those are not what I want, people are rare, fame and fortune are just the clouds of the past, what I really want is to be able to take that step and carve out a real grandmaster-level work, when that time, these things of mine will really have the qualifications to enter your museum" When Xing Lao said about the grandmaster-level works, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously extremely longing for the grandmaster realm, "Master, Grandmaster-level carving, you should know very well what you need," Tang Dashao said softly.Grandmaster-level works seem to have spirituality, but this spirituality is given by the author himself, in order to endow it with spirituality, the author will consume a lot of spirit, and even vitality, "Of course I know, I have also read the books of Lu Zigang's predecessors, maybe I will die because of this, but I can die when I hear about it, I'm afraid, I don't have the opportunity to hear the Tao in this life" Xing Lao sighed.Tang Dashao looked at Xing Lao's heart full of admiration, he was an old man, his master, but he was also a respectable seeker, for the Tao in his heart, he could ignore his life, no matter what he saw that he was a master so persistent, Tang Dashao couldn't help but wonder, what is he pursuing, is there anything that is necessary to let himself go out of his life, and he must do it, "Okay, okay, this topic is a little heavy, you kid want to see those things, just go and see them, it's good to see more, and seeing more will be good for your future." ”"I know that your kid is a big family, and it is impossible to dedicate yourself to the carving career and dedicate everything to carving, but I still hope that you can learn more and have more skills."
Xing Lao smiled and patted Tang Dashao's shoulder.The topic just now is really heavy, what kind of death, seeking the Tao and so on, some things can be done as long as you cling to them, "Well, I understand, Master." ”Tang Dashao nodded."
Haha, come on, junior brother, let's take a look at the panorama we designed, how about it, do you have any opinions, and give me a few words" Shi Yan said with a smile."
Senior brother said and laughed, I don't have any opinions, but there are just a few small proposals" When Tang Dashao said the second half of the sentence, Shi Yan, whose voice was a little weak, originally listened to the first half of the sentence, which was quite comfortable, but the second half of the sentence suddenly made him a little depressed This little junior brother is really ashamed, this panoramic design I and the master don't know how many times they have modified it, and they think they have reached the point of perfection, but this guy actually has a proposal, and it is a few "What proposals, let's listen to it" Xing Lao said."
Master" Shi Yan looked at Xing Lao Dao."
It's okay, let your little junior brother finish speaking" "Okay, little junior brother, you come" Shi Yan was a little unwilling Tang Dashao saw this situation, and also knew that he seemed to have a fierce wave, after all, this drawing must be the final draft that the master and the third senior brother worked hard to revise for a long time "Master, third senior brother, I just make a little suggestion, you look at this place, the dark green jade is in flakes, the master and the third senior brother plan to make this place into a forest, in fact, I feel that it will be more appropriate to make it a lawn, because this is a gentle slope"" There is also this place, the idea of the cliff, the color of the jade here, some white, can be carved into the shape of a river, the dark green above should not be cut off, carved into a single-plank bridge in the shape of a beam, and here, here" But after a while, Tang Dashao put forward five suggestions In fact, these were not his own ideas, but at the moment when he just entered the door, the figure of Lu Zigang appeared in his mind, and the jade carved in Tang Dashao's mind had already been carved by Lu Zigang Strictly speaking, Tang Dashao had already seen the most perfect jade ornaments after molding, so after seeing the panoramic design drawings drawn by Xing Lao and Shi Yan, he couldn't help but say something different from what he saw After listening to Xing Lao and Shi Yan, the two first fell into contemplation, and then their faces showed ecstasy, it seems that Tang Fei's few small proposals can make the overall effect of jade ornaments go to the next level This little guy is really amazing:
