Chapter 49 Time Determination
Shi Guang was fooled. He didn't expect that Director Jia, who was usually steady and calm, would become so crazy when he really went crazy.
Is this a common problem in art?
That’s right… Anyone who is truly into art will have some dramatic artistic traits.
Shi Guang tried his best to calm himself down, but before he could calm down, Jia Wenyan suddenly threw a booklet to him and said:
"This is the list of cultural relics that we will reproduce in this Shang Zhou themed exhibition. You can pick one that interests you."
Shi Guang: "Director, do you mean... let me do it?"
"What else? You've been my apprentice for a few months now, and now it's time for you to really practice something."
"Otherwise, all the potato meals you've eaten for the past six months will have been wasted."
"Teacher Jia..."
Having his little thoughts exposed, Shi Guang scratched his head in embarrassment.
This is different from Zhen Shuwang, who moved to the Yong'an Museum due to resource integration and industrial transition.
The reason why Dean Zhen arranged time for her so early was obviously because he hoped that Jia Wenyan could help teach the students.
If Jia Wenyan remembered correctly, that should have happened before she came to Xian'an City.
As an honorary professor of Xian'an University, Dean Zhen regularly organizes internship assessments for each grade group of the school's cultural relics restoration major every year.
However, the difference is that his internship exam does not select one person from each grade group, but screens students based on their mastery of knowledge and skills in their grade.
The time was during the summer vacation of the second semester of my sophomore year, and I got this precious opportunity by passing the exam.
Shi Guang originally thought that he would be able to improve his skills by interning with Dean Zhen like his seniors from previous classes and working at cultural relics restoration sites like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Research Institute.
At that time, although he was not very clear about what kind of work Dean Zhen would arrange for him, according to the news circulating in the school, every year the students selected by Dean Zhen either stayed in school or ended up working in the Xian'an Museum.
This is an opportunity that every student majoring in cultural relics restoration cannot refuse.
However, what was unexpected was that in his class, instead of spending the whole day at on-site archaeological sites like his predecessors, he did not even have the opportunity to learn from Dean Zhen.
At first, he thought that Dean Zhen was getting old, so he wanted to gradually break away from the archaeology and cultural relics restoration majors at Xian'an University.
But at that time, it was really hard for him to understand why Dean Zhen would hand him over to a girl who was almost his age.
Don't forget that the university he is in is Xian'an University, a famous place in the fields of archaeology and cultural relics restoration.
It would be fine if it was a senior from the same school, but he really couldn't imagine why Dean Zhen would hand him over to a peer from another school.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the consideration of Dean Zhen's personal resume and the advantage he would have gained in the future, Shi Guang might have really refused and given up this opportunity.
But not long after, when Guang learned from Dean Zhen that Jia Wenyan had independently reproduced the dragon scale jade pendant, he knew clearly how much time and effort it took to carve the dragon scale jade pendant, and he completely let go of his previous contempt.
Shi Guang: "Yes, after all, I am not like those seniors who only got the opportunity in their junior and senior years. I just finished my sophomore year. Even if Dean Zhen wanted to teach me, he couldn't teach me any advanced techniques right away. So it might be a good idea to find a senior with solid basic skills to substitute for me."
Shi Guang adjusted himself in this way, but soon, after he met Jia Wenyan under the introduction of Dean Zhen and witnessed Jia Wenyan repairing and reproducing the Terracotta Warriors, Shi Guang looked at Jia Wenyan with only unbelievable admiration in his eyes.
Although he is just a newcomer in college, he has been in Xian'an University for so long that he has some understanding of Dean Zhen's students.
Among Dean Zhen’s students, there should be no one who is so young and can possess such master-level skills.
Especially when he learned that Dean Zhen was going to let Jia Wenyan inherit the Yong'an Museum and Yong'an Workshop, he even suspected whether Jia Wenyan was Dean Zhen's illegitimate daughter or granddaughter who was living outside.
However, these are all old things. What he cares about most right now is how to master as many skills in porcelain or carving as possible from Jia Wenyan.
However, not long after, when he thought that Jia Wenyan, his "senior", would teach him techniques little by little like most teachers.
When he was still in the budding stage of university, he was immediately shocked by Jia Wenyan's amazing craftsmanship.
Whether it is the Terracotta Warriors, porcelain, or even the unbelievable super-large all-porcelain cherry tree.
After getting into the state, Jia Wenyan did not show any thought or hesitation during the process of replicating the cultural relics.
The genius's habit of taking things for granted made him completely unable to cope, and he was really worried that the questions he asked would make Jia Wenyan think he was a fool.
So at the beginning, he always focused more on the gaps and imitations. Later, when Jia Wenyan went on a business trip to Yanjing, and the subsequent "national gift project" came, he didn't want to affect Jia Wenyan's work progress, so he completely positioned himself as an assistant.
He planned to spend as much time as possible observing and recording Jia Wenyan's techniques, and then watch them repeatedly after returning to his office or dormitory.
Shi Guang believed that it would be impossible for him to reach Jia Wenyan's level in a short period of time and operate with the same precision as AI.
So what he did most during that time was to train with potatoes from the kitchen.
Those potatoes, whether crispy or sandy, allow Shi Guang to be trained repeatedly at a relatively cheaper price.
He originally wanted to wait until his skills improved to a certain level before going to Jia Wenyan to learn.
But he never expected that Jia Wenyan not only noticed his mood changes, but was even planning to ask him to participate in subsequent design activities?
This is a situation that has never been imagined in the past.
He had already taken advantage of the previous incident with the Porcelain Cherry Blossom Tree.
Although he was just listed as an assistant in the design column like Zhen Shuwang.
But for Shi Guang, a student at school, this is an experience that can be used as a highlight on his resume.
To be frank, at this moment, I really feel that I have gained a lot from the Yong'an Museum.
But what he didn't expect was that before he could find out the key to his confidence in the field of craftsmanship.
Jia Wenyan refreshed the cognition of everyone present with a complete set of handicraft illustrations.
"Teacher Jia...are you sure I can do this?"
Shi Guang looked at the cultural relics information on the list and asked in disbelief.
At that moment, Jia Wenyan, who was waiting for the bronze bell to cool down, subconsciously glanced in the direction of time and said:
"Don't worry, we are only reproducing the cultural relics this time, not repairing them. If there is anything wrong, I will help to rescue them.
"But of course I've already said that if the quality of your work is truly beyond saving, then I won't include it in this exhibition."
"With the same construction period, I have thirty of them and you have one. If you can't do the job well, then..."
"Then I don't deserve to continue in this line of work."
Shi Guang said this as he checked the artifacts in the manual.
Although Jia Wenyan said that the theme exhibition was about cultural relics from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, she did not put all the emphasis on the Shang and Zhou bronzes collected in the British Museum.
She had seen Shi Guang's training progress, although at the moment he was still far from reaching his "cultivation" level after years of training in the weapon spirit space.
But in the circle of most people of the same age, the current time is considered to have mastered very good skills.
For example, when he helped prepare the Porcelain Sakura not long ago, he put in a lot of effort.
Jia Wenyan made a simple calculation and said that although Shi Guang's craftsmanship was not yet fully developed, as long as he selected some texts and pictures that he was good at in his own field, then there would be a chance to reproduce the cultural relics.
Moreover, just as they had discussed with several artifact spirits before, as long as the other party is willing to calm down and work hard, there may be a chance to replicate some top-level artifacts.
You have to know that in this age of information explosion, if she really just let all the spirit objects trapped in the British Museum return to their places without caring.
Then there will definitely be media outlets that will misinterpret her words into something else.
At that time, even with Grandma Xu's help, she had no way of guaranteeing whether too many coincidences would lead to some possibilities that had not been thought of before.
Therefore, the current plan is the best way for Jia Wenyan to deal with it.
Given Shi Guang's personality, he would not have challenged Shang Zhou, a field he was not familiar with, right from the start. Jia Wenyan could also use that work as a cover to avoid the possibility of other public opinions fermenting.
She hopes to gradually shift the public's impression of the reproduction of the Yong'an Museum's cultural relics from her personal impression to the Yong'an Museum's "team achievement."
But what is unexpected is that I don’t know if it is because time has been suppressed for too long.
Jia Wenyan originally wanted to use this opportunity to stimulate him. But who would have thought that when Guang learned that he had the opportunity to participate in this project as a producer, he began to become extremely anxious.
But he did not let his emotional fluctuations affect his thinking. The mechanical pencil in his hand quickly sketched on the notebook.
At that moment, Jia Wenyan smiled as she looked at Shi Guang, who had already begun comparing various possibilities on paper.
His final choice was a piece of carved porcelain that had been collected in the British Museum for a long time.
Although Shiguang is not very good at firing porcelain, he is still somewhat confident in his carving skills.
As long as he works hard, with Jia Wenyan's help from time to time, he will be fine.
Then there is no need to say that I have been relying on potatoes, radishes and other ingredients to improve my skills during this period of time.
Shi Guang was confident that he would be able to handle the subsequent production work. However, who would have thought that just as he had finalized the production plan, Jia Wenyan took out a representative bronze artifact of Donghuang.
That is...Changxin Palace Lantern.
"Jingyun Bell plus Changxin Palace Lantern, Director Jia, is this the amount you want by the end of this year?"
