A clipped jade carving video suddenly became popular in the jade carving section of the Dazhou live broadcast platform.
[Chengyu Jade Carving Mixed Cut Competition - May you be invincible and unstoppable!] This is a competition video, and the video content is the largest "Jade Carving Community" online competition in the circle.
The video is less than five minutes long and is accompanied by a very passionate background music. The video is divided into two screens, left and right. On the left is a pair of hands holding a jade carving pen and material and carving, and on the right are dozens of small screens, showing different jade carvers also carving.
The video uses an accelerated effect, and the hands on the screen move very quickly.
The left hand, in particular, was smoother and faster than the right, leaving afterimages. As she moved, the material beneath her hands gradually took shape.
The three works in total - the "Han Ba Dao" jade cicada, the "thinly carved" blue sky egret, and the "line carved" civet cat, are all clear and vivid with exquisite images.
They look either simple and elegant, or subtle and soft, or lively and cute, with almost no flaws in craftsmanship.
The video was released from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts studio, and he also released a piece of his own copy.
-Nanyi Studio: If I had this skill, my master would wake up laughing. Enough said, big guys are big guys, invincible. [Video] Nanyi has a high level of attention in the circle. Once the video was released, it quickly received over 10,000 views.
Not long after, Bai Gege forwarded this video, and the number of views quickly reached one million.
Bai Gege: Beautiful, worthy of the master I've set my sights on. //@Nanyi Studio: If I had this skill, my master would wake up laughing. Enough said, a master is a master, unbeatable. [Video] Shui Yiyao's jade carving livestream already had tens of thousands of followers. After this video went viral, the number of followers in the livestream broke through six figures and is approaching seven.
When Shui Yiyao discovered it, the number of fans had already reached 500,000.
She felt that her reaction was not slow, as it was only the third day after the competition.
I was busy with announcements for the past two days and didn’t log into my live broadcast account.
On the third day, when she got home from her job, it was already 9pm. She was usually not allowed to go home until 10pm, but today she was let in an hour earlier.
Working hours don't exceed 10 o'clock, which is also a right Shui Yiyao has fought for. She can get up early, but she will never work late.
She could earn less money, but she couldn't sleep less. Even though she had agreed with the company that she had to leave work before 10 p.m., they always let her go after 10 p.m.
Her contract was not upgraded to Class A, where rights and obligations are unified. Class D contracts have fewer rights and obligations, so her request to work until 10 o'clock is reasonable.
But having said that, work would always drag her until after 10 o'clock, so she usually fell asleep as soon as she got home.
It’s just that today’s task is simple, so she was let go home an hour early.
She hasn't done a live broadcast for a long time and has been on leave.
When I turned on the live broadcast today, I found that her fans had increased dramatically, from 20,000 to more than 500,000.
She was a little confused. Looking at the huge increase in the number of fans in her live broadcast room, she asked, "Is this a unified distribution for the live broadcast room?"
-Hahahaha I got it! A living boss!
-The boss has started broadcasting, go to the group and shout.
-I've called someone, someone's coming right away.
-I am very curious why the boss doesn’t show her face. From the sound of her voice, she must be a very beautiful young lady.
-Here I come, here I come, the big guy is starting the show?!
-squat.
-Did you guys buy houses in the live broadcast room?
Shui Yiyao was confused, but she continued to hold the half-carved material and gestured on it with the carving pen. "Today I will show you how to carve a Guanyin plaque. As the saying goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha..."
She paused, then looked up at the screen, still curious: "Where are you all from?"
-Didn't you see that competition video? It went viral!
-We were assigned from the live studio (No.
-Hahaha, we came here after watching the video of Invincible!
-Big Boss, carve faster! I feel so comfortable watching you carve now.
-I also.
What video is this?
Shui Yiyao was a little confused. She searched out of curiosity. What the netizen just said was, "forge ahead courageously and be invincible"?
She was curious and searched for the keyword on the homepage, and a video appeared on the screen.
She clicked it.
A line of large characters scrolled across the screen.
The 18th "Jade Carving Community" online competition officially began.
In the picture, each jade carver is preparing, holding the material in one hand and a jade carving pen in the other.
On the left side of the screen belonging to her, a line of subtitles appeared:
-Chengyu: This is my first time participating in the competition, please give me some advice!
Did she say this at the time?
Didn't she? She seemed to have just said: Whoever loses gets to call daddy.
Shui Yiyao: ...
The first match: Han Ba Dao.
-Similar in appearance and spirit, very grand!
The subtitles also included the comments given to her by the judges at the time and placed them on her screen.
Because of the accelerated processing, in less than two minutes, the work was completed on her screen, and a simple jade cicada appeared.
Other jade carving live broadcast rooms are still continuing with carving.
——Chengdao Jade Carving, wins!
-Chengyu: Thank you!
The video is less than 5 minutes long and it comes to an end soon.
In the three works, the word "acceptance" appears three times on her screen, each time with a larger font size than the last.
By the end, the other jade carvers were working on their second pieces, but Chengyu had finished all three and received the final affirmation and praise from his instructor.
The video ends and the screen stays on her engraving pen.
A line of big words appeared on the screen: May you be fearless, move forward courageously, and be invincible on this journey!
It really felt exciting. She didn't feel too excited when she was sculpting, she just felt it was easy.
These three skills might be difficult for others, but for her, they're just routine. I didn't expect the editing to be so interesting.
-We came here just because of this!
-Wow, I haven’t seen it, Chengyu. I can see her cache bar, 0%.
-What is Mr. Chengyu busy with? He never broadcasts.
-Will it be broadcast tomorrow?
After Shui Yiyao understood the situation clearly, she answered the question in the comment section: "My part-time job is very busy and I have to work until 10 o'clock at night. There's nothing I can do... But I will be able to finish my part-time job soon, and then I will focus on jade carving."
Shui Yiyao was carving while chatting with her friends, and during this period she also received jade carving orders from several platforms.
The barrage members chat among themselves.
-Am I the only one who found the original video without speeding up?
-I looked for it too.
-I also.
-Did you hear it? It seemed like someone was calling Chengyu's name, something like Yao, which sounded quite nice.
-Yi Yao?
-That's a nice name.
-Yao, beautiful jade. In the name of Yao, beautiful jade?
-Are you guys being toxic, discussing other people’s real names?
-Hahaha, that one is really good, I’ve already saved it! I’m planning on watching it again.
-A host who doesn't even dare to show his face, but you guys are chasing him to hear his true feelings.
-I heard that the competition is very niche and no big names in the circle participate.
There was some negative news, but it wasn't as obvious. Shui Yiyao didn't care; the few scattered pieces had already been suppressed by her followers.
After 10 o'clock, Shui Yiyao ignored the discussions of her fans and ended the live broadcast on time.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were not used to her style and were all shouting that it was too fast.
But Shui Yiyao walked so smoothly that no one noticed it at all.
So the barrage of comments was filled with "merciless" comments.
After she finished the live broadcast, she did not go to bed directly, but opened the online shopping platform.
She placed an order for a waterproof book.
This book is about science and technology and is at the elementary school level.
She customized dozens of copies to take back to the Holy Land. The books are waterproof and can be used underwater.
She earned some money, but instead of spending it all, she bought some books.
The mermaids were too weak, and she didn't know how to make them stronger. She could only start learning by reading, because knowledge is power.
The mermaids' ending in the original novel should not be very good. Shui Yiyao thought about it. Although the original novel did not mention the mermaids, it wrote that the eldest princess Shui Yiyao committed suicide by jumping off the building.
If the mermaids were fine, Shui Yiyao wouldn't have to jump off the building. It would have been better to just jump into the sea and return to nature.
Shui Yiyao was a bit too weak, but suicide was still too serious. So, she later suspected that the mermaids had been wiped out, leaving them with nowhere to go. This speculation fits the current situation quite well. Due to pollution, the seabed is in chaos. The mermaids' water purifiers were embezzled and confiscated, forcing them to flee to the river. Newborns are dying one after another. It seems ominous no matter how you look at it.
The demise of the mermaid tribe is not surprising at all.
What she was worried about was whether she could change the outcome.
She had no idea what to do now, so she could only buy some books for the mermaids, or buy some purifiers to give to them to improve their quality of life.
The batch of waterproof science books is almost ready, and she can deliver them directly when the time comes. She hopes the mermaids will like them and it would be best if they can be of some help.
After she confirmed the delivery time with the merchant, she looked at the time and it was already 10:15.
It's time to go to bed.
But she was not sleepy yet. After thinking about it, she opened her jade carving community merchant platform again and put the example pictures of the new orders she had made. Now she has several example pictures of her works.
She sorted it out and sent the sample pictures of her work to Mrs. Cheng.
Chengyu: Sister Chen, take a look. This is my latest work.
Mrs. Cheng replied to the message after a while: OK, I'll take a look.
These example pictures were all made by Shui Yiyao recently, including Ao Li's brand, Tang Baiyu's tiger and rabbit brand, several bracelets and Guanyin pendants. In total, there are quite a few works.
After reading it, Mrs. Cheng sent her a message: Why didn’t you show these to me earlier?
Mrs. Cheng: I am very satisfied. Your skills are very stable. Every jade carving is very beautiful!
Mrs. Cheng: I will send you the stone. Can you help me carve it? How much is it?
Cheng Yu: Sister Chen, as long as you like it.
Cheng Yu: But my current project is scheduled for a year from now. What do you think? If you're willing to wait, I'll schedule it for you. If you can't wait, that's fine too.
Mrs. Cheng: One year?
Chengyu: Yes, it’s currently scheduled for a year later.
Mrs. Cheng: I really regret this. I definitely can't ask someone else to carve this for me. I'll wait for you, one year at a time.
Chengyu: OK.
Mrs. Cheng: Actually, I wanted to come find you a long time ago, but I was afraid you would laugh at me, so I didn’t.
Cheng Yu: Ah, how could I laugh at you? I am so happy that you came to see me.
After all, I came to her to give her money.
Mrs. Cheng: Isn't it true? Don't you know? You've already become famous in our little circle.
Chengyu: Huh?
Mrs. Cheng: Chengdao Jade Carving, it’s you.
Chengyu: It’s me.
Mrs. Cheng: The daughter of the Chen family got married some time ago. She brought a jade pendant to the wedding. It was a sugar-white zodiac pendant with a tiger and a rabbit on it. I remember it was made of jade.
Mrs. Cheng: It was because of that Gemini sign that their relationship became widely known in the circle at that time, and this childhood sweetheart marriage was once cited as a good story.
Mrs. Cheng: That plaque is so beautifully carved. I heard people said it was carved by you.
Mrs. Cheng: I felt a little regretful at that time. I should have come to you earlier.
Cheng Yu: You don’t have to regret it. You are a distinguished guest here. It’s never too late to come to me.
Mrs. Cheng sent a voice message: "Okay, then I'd like to thank Yaoyao first. You are really amazing, Yaoyao."
Shui Yiyao was puzzled. The piece of sugar white jade had been completed a long time ago, but she didn't expect there would be any follow-up.
Mrs. Cheng said she was already a bit of a name in her circle, which was… a circle of wealthy women, wasn't it? No wonder she'd been approached more and more lately about getting her to work with expensive materials. It turned out there was more than just that viral video.
Sure enough, no matter when, the work is a living advertisement. As long as it is done well enough, you can naturally make money.
The next day, Shui Yiyao got up at 4 o'clock in the morning.
She chose to go to bed early, so she sacrificed her morning sleep time and got up at 4 o'clock to prepare for an interview.
The interview was about a variety show. A few days ago, she had just finished recording the third episode of "Anle Village" which Sister Yu had assigned to her.
This variety show still has the familiar style, live broadcast, slow pace, and enjoys the leisurely rural life.
However, the current program has been improved. It is no longer a simple live broadcast, but will have a special at the end, edited into a normal two-hour variety show, editing the lifestyles of the artists and guests, and letting the teachers comment on them.
This review program will be broadcast on satellite TV.
