Shui Yiyao looked at the refreshing gift messages, and then looked at the barrage.
-I saw so many gifts this time that my collector panicked.
- I feel dizzy.
-Keep sending, don't stop!
-Am I the only one wondering how much these things cost?
-How much have you given?
-I recorded the screen! Famous scene!
She had never seen any of these gifts before, and didn't know how much they cost, but just by looking at the ID "Good Morning" rapidly rising up the list of gifts, she knew they weren't cheap. But to Ao Li, they seemed like just data, and he gave them one after another without blinking an eye.
In a short while, he was already at the top of the gift list.
The comments were incredible.
-Yu Yu’s number one on the list is around one million, right?
-right……
-This is the number one on the list, it’s indeed Mr. Ao!
-Although our Yu Yu's ranking is notoriously low, it's only been ten minutes, which is too fast.
"Dean Ao, I know you have money. Don't send me any more."
"Save it for next time when you send me off?" Shui Yiyao said, "A steady stream of love will last forever."
After Shui Yiyao finished speaking, the gift information was no longer updated, and a special barrage floated over.
Good morning: OK.
Good morning: I like a steady flow.
"That's really..." Shui Yiyao paused and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Good morning: You're welcome.
Shui Yiyao watched the barrage of comments pass by, then lowered her head and resumed the work at hand.
She murmured, "Don't come here so often. People come here to see me carve. It's not nice of you to keep coming here."
If there was anything to say, they could have said it in private. She was a serious jade carver, and it didn't seem serious at all to do this.
-Yuyu, you're acting like a complete jerk right now. → Mr. Ao: I want to make it public. Yuyu: No, I don't. (That's exactly how I feel. 2333.)
-Isn’t this Mr. Ao’s first time here?
-Yu Yu: Men will only affect the speed of my carving knife!
-Career fans feel relieved.
-Hahahaha, don't chase me away! I think it's okay! I can see it very well.
-I can see it well, it doesn't affect our viewing of the sculptures.
Good morning: But I want to see you carve.
Shui Yiyao: "Just look, don't do those things..."
Good morning. I want to give you a gift. I'm your fan.
She was interrupted before she could finish the rest of her words.
Shui Yiyao: "Okay. ...Okay, let's move on to this, the thin-walled incense burner."
She couldn't argue with him, so she stopped looking at the comments, picked up the carving knife, and focused on the work at hand.
When she finished her work and looked up again, it was three hours later. She looked at the gift leaderboard. The top-ranked person's avatar was gray, indicating he was offline. His ID had also been changed to "See you tonight."
Will he come again in the evening?
She smiled, said nothing, rubbed her wrist, and picked up the material again to continue.
Suddenly someone asked her on the barrage.
-Yuyu, are you still able to make that kite pendant? I love it!
-I want him like crazy. Handsome and cute.
-envious!
-Yuyu, can that be mass-produced? I want to buy one too. A machine-carved one would be fine. It's so beautiful!
-Kite?
-You can go and check out Yu Mingming’s Weibo, he was Yu Yu’s former agent.
-It's really beautiful! What a cool kite.
Shui Yiyao looked at the comments and realized that Sister Yu must have received the kite pendant and posted on Weibo.
"Go get a glass of water first." She stood up with her phone and went to the water dispenser.
While turning on the water dispenser and waiting for it to be filled, she opened Weibo.
Yu Mingming: This is a birthday present from Yaoyao, hahahaha. I love it so much. [Image]
I posted nine pictures, each from a different angle.
I have to say, Sister Yu's photography skills are quite good. She captured every detail clearly. One of the photos was magnified ten times, and the flame pattern on her kite's tail was even captured.
She picked up the cup of water from under the water dispenser, took a sip, and opened the comment section.
- From the middle picture, it looks like a simple, elegant kite jade pendant, though a bit more ferocious than a typical kite. But there are so many details, including many small patterns in the center, that you wouldn't be able to see them if you didn't take the photo like this.
-Is this black jade or black jade? It looks so beautiful.
-Is this Hetian jade? This is the first time I've seen Hetian jade carvings like this.
-Beautiful. Sister Yu, is this custom-made? Which designer created it?
Below this post, Yu Jie replied: "Ms. Bai, this is black jade. It was given to me as a birthday gift by Shui Yiyao, an artist I used to coach. Isn't it beautiful? She designed it herself, you can ask her."
This comment seemed to be from someone Sister Yu knew, and there were a lot of replies. Shui Yiyao clicked on it and took a look.
-Abai!
-This is really nice.
-Hasn't our Abai always liked trendy and avant-garde things? Why is it Hetian jade this time? It feels so old-fashioned.
-Is this going to be a new trend? Hahaha?
-Possibly! Our Ah Bai's fashion sense is beyond doubt.
-It’s hard to say whether it’s trendy or not, but doesn’t it look good?!
Turns out she's a fashion blogger. No wonder she's suddenly getting so much attention.
Shui Yiyao drank the water, carried the cup back to the workbench, put the cup down, and sat back at her workstation.
Sister Yu is indeed a professional, and she really spared no effort to help her with publicity. Was this someone she hired?
On the computer screen, someone was asking about the kite in the barrage.
-Yuyu, can this be machine-engraved? I love it!
-I came here after seeing Amway's recommendation. The kite is really beautiful.
Abai: I want a custom one. I just went to your online store, but no one was there, so I came to watch your livestream. Abai: Can I have one custom made? Just the same one will do.
Among the comments, the one called Abai stood out, clearly a wealthy person who had spent money, and it was very eye-catching. He must be a VIP account.
Shui Yiyao: "I gave it to a friend as a birthday present. I'm really sorry. I won't sell it."
-You're not selling it? What a shame. I really want it.
-Aren’t there enough beautiful things made in Yuyu Shop?
But it's different. Most of Yu Yu's artwork is based on traditional themes. This time, it's nothing to do with gods or Buddhas, just kites. And they're really cool kites. I even saw animal prints, which are so cool.
Shui Yiyao saw that the comments were constantly talking about it, and the discussion was indeed quite high. She thought for a moment and said, "I won't sell it, but I can give it to you."
"This is a handmade product. Some of the craftsmanship is a bit difficult to machine carve for now. Let me tell you, I'll find time to make ten of them and then give them away through a raffle to my fans. The production period will be about three months. I'll post a status update in three months, so keep an eye out for it."
After she finished speaking, she said, "Thank you all for your support."
Ah Bai: Raffle? Can everyone enter?
Shui Yiyao: "This is a fan benefit."
[Abai: Is this model available in high-end custom-made styles?]
Shui Yiyao: "Place an order on my online store, but the order queue has been waiting for almost two years. I won't accept expedited orders within three months."
The schedule for the past three months has been very tight, and the margin for error on the orders she has is very low, so she has no time to do expedited orders. So she just wants to give back to her fans.
【Abai: Okay, I’m a fan now.】
[Ah Bai: I want to participate in the lottery. I also need to place an order. I can wait two years.] - Ahhh, rich lady Xiao Bai, don't try to compete with us for the lottery! You have to place an order anyway!
-Lower the winning rate series.
-Only ten! This winning rate is… incredible.
-This is hand-carved and the level of refinement is quite high.
[Abai: With this level of refinement, ten is already a lot.]
"Okay. I'll redesign it when the time comes. It won't look like a kite." Shui Yiyao smiled and continued, "Okay, let's move on to this, the thin-walled incense burner."
She held the material in her hand and said: "The design was drawn a long time ago. The material was selected based on the design. Since I want to create a freehand style, I chose blue and white. This carving will have the feeling of ink painting."
"However, I can't guarantee success on the first try. If the material is damaged, I'll choose a black jade next time."
When making thin-bodied jade carvings, you must be prepared for failure at any time.
-Using thin plastic to make figures? Ridiculous.
-Do you know anything about carving???
-Aren't you just hyping up the intangible cultural heritage that is being lost bit by bit?
Shui Yiyao hadn't made her move yet and was explaining what she was going to do when suddenly three new comments appeared.
Because these three comments were too long, the word "ridiculous" was repeated more than ten times in the first one, and there were more than ten question marks after the next two sentences, which directly filled up most of the screen and attracted Shui Yiyao's attention.
She frowned and stopped immediately.
"Do you know what a breakthrough is?" Shui Yiyao frowned. Thin jade carvings don't usually create figures; it's a technical limitation. Without a breakthrough, how can you win an award?
She was a little angry: "A little finger knife carving? If you have the guts, come out and compete with me. The housing manager, please don't ban me yet. I want to see if he can teach me what carving is."
She clicked on the three comments and saw, as expected, they were all from the same person, Jiu Zhangji.
This guy came after me so quickly? I just negotiated with him in the jade carving community, how long has it been? Is he not convinced?
-Why are you so arrogant? Do you think the association belongs to your family? Sue me if you dare! The association is reporting you for abusing your power!
-Why are you reporting me? I just used your image. It's not a proprietary design.
Just now she said she didn't know it was her picture, but now she's quite frank.
She actually suspected that Jiu Zhangji was the one who had asked her to do some aging for him before, and because she refused, he was making trouble - since she refused to imitate the ancient jade for him, he started to imitate her.
You've become famous for your fingernail carving, not design. We're in the same business, so what if someone uses your images? It's no big deal.
-I don't even want the money I give you, you're just messing with me. Is it because you think the money isn't enough?
I guess the Supervisory Committee informed him, and he knew that she really reported him, so he came out to vent his anger.
-If you don't know how to point a knife, do you think the association can handle it so quickly?
-He only knows how to use a finger knife, and is not much better than us ordinary jade carvers.
Probably to let Shui Yiyao see, he added more than ten question marks after each of his comments. It was particularly conspicuous.
So someone immediately refuted it on the barrage.
-Don't come here to represent ordinary jade carvers. We ordinary jade carvers don't steal other people's designs for commercial use! Thank you!
-If you have a problem with your brain, can you please not embarrass yourself by coming out?
-Going crazy because you were reported?
-Yu Yu, don't pay attention to him. I've already called the mental hospital.
But Jiu Zhangji didn't stop. He stubbornly said: You think you are so great, but you can only do a little finger knife carving.
Shui Yiyao said directly, "Don't try to play that game. If you have the guts, come and compete. Don't just talk about this; it's useless."
"You can choose anything, as long as it's jade carving."
What's with all the hype about just being able to carve with a finger knife? These people only saw her winning awards for her carving skills. She studied for over a decade, but no one noticed. No one saw her crying while learning. If they were like her, starting to draw in kindergarten, picking up a carving knife at five or six, carving until their palms blistered and still holding a carving knife, they would be the same.
Shui Yiyao couldn't help but sneer.
She can say frankly that what she got was what she deserved, and she doesn't know what she is being jealous about.
"Housing Manager, please give him some special effects for now."
The housing manager temporarily added a special effect to it, a red border to make it more conspicuous.
-Jiu Zhangji: If you take me off the blacklist, I will chat with you privately.
-Jiu Zhangji: I can also apologize to you. If you need.
