But everyone is here, and at this point, he has no way out. He can't let people say that he, the successor of the Guangling folk paper-cutting school, is afraid of a celebrity, right?
However, Guan Zecheng still said, "I don't know what kind of competition you are having, or what the purpose of it is. Young man, you said earlier that you are a star, and our current competition is being broadcast live nationwide. Now that you are here, I also hope that more children can see what our ancestors have passed down, and treat it as a chance to learn from each other."
"We can't just throw away the good things our ancestors passed down. As for the competition, let's not take it too seriously. I'm not here to be used as a tool for anyone. I just have this good opportunity now, so I'll show off and ask Mr. Tan to see if there are any shortcomings in my skills."
Guan Zecheng's words made Zhang Gouyao look a little embarrassed again.
This is tantamount to saying that he was deceived by Zhang Gouyao, which is a slap in the face!
Mr. Tan and Su Bai nodded secretly. It seemed that the old man was not clear about the situation, but he was not stupid. What he said was very sincere.
So Su Bai said, "I have indeed studied paper-cutting. It is a very interesting traditional folk art. Mr. Guan is right. We don't need to treat it as a competition. We can just take this opportunity to show this art to the young people in China. If someone is interested in learning about it, it won't be cut off."
Then several employees brought by Bai Ri Fei Sheng brought over some rice paper that had been prepared in advance.
Su Bai was very well prepared for this competition, and he had prepared almost all the tools and musical instruments needed for the talents he could think of.
Guan Lao took out a few sheets of red rice paper, but refused the staff's scissors. Instead, he carefully took out a few sharp-looking scissors from his inner pocket and said with a smile, "I always carry these with me when I eat. They are very convenient for me to use."
Su Bai had no objection to this, he just took a pair of scissors and some colored rice paper.
Everyone looked at Su Bai holding the colored rice paper with a bit of confusion, and He Ling even asked the doubts in the audience's hearts directly:
"Xiaobai, why are you holding colored paper? Aren't paper-cuts usually red?"
When it comes to paper-cutting, most people probably think of the red "囍" character.
But in fact, it is not true. Generally, beginners will choose ordinary red paper, which has moderate hardness and is cheap, but it fades easily.
Those with a higher level of skill will need to create more complex patterns and works, and generally choose to use gold-sprinkled paper or colored cardboard. These materials have special textures and colors that can enhance the artistic effect of paper cutting.
When Mr. Guan saw the paper Su Bai had chosen, he looked at Su Bai with a more serious expression: "Xiao Su, do you really know how to paper-cut?"
Su Bai smiled and said, "Although some professors who don't deserve the title have always said that I am just creating a persona, I am here to prove it today. Mr. Guan, I really know how to paper cut. You'd better use all your strength, otherwise I will beat you!"
Guan Lao Wan'er, originally he really planned to perform at 70% of his level, he didn't want to be used as a tool by others, but he couldn't just give up the title of paper-cutting successor in front of so many audiences, he still had to show some strength.
But now that Su Bai said this, the craftsman's competitive spirit was immediately aroused.
So he picked out two more sheets of gold-sprinkled paper and said, "Then I won't be polite! This old man is usually reluctant to use such fine paper!"
"Feel free to use it! As much as you want!"
Mr. Tan in the audience was staring at Su Bai with great interest. To be honest, he came here for Fan Dezhi's sake. He originally wanted to go through the formalities, but he didn't expect that this young star really knew how to do it!
He immediately became interested!
As soon as Teacher He said "start", both of them quickly started to work and began to process the paper.
Paper cutting is not something you can just pick up a piece of paper and start cutting. Generally, you need to process the paper first, fold it diagonally or in half to form different shapes and design basis, and then use a pencil to draw the design on it.
The next step is rough cutting. If the design is more complicated, decoration and hollowing operations will be required.
Therefore, paper-cutting masters generally have good painting skills and are all good designers.
Su Bai was also a little excited. He had never played with this thing before, but he was not panicked at all.
He is a cheater!
