Chapter 9 Comeback and surrounding support
Dean Zhen and Mr. Zhou Yuanan kept bargaining on the phone.
Ten minutes later, Mr. Zhen, who had just hung up the phone, was very satisfied with the results he had just gotten from his old classmate.
However, just as he was about to return to the workshop to show off his achievements to his apprentice, he was greeted by Jia Wenyan's flamboyant carving in the workshop.
Training in the Three Kings Pot space allowed her to memorize the production process of the red jade porcelain brocade box. Not only did she no longer have to draw the lines as carefully as before, she could even take care of the camera that was filming nearby from time to time.
She plans to use this production video as a new chapter in her comeback on D Station.
Her movements were getting faster and faster, and she looked so completely immersed in her work that Dean Zhen, who was about to push the door open, stopped his movements unconsciously.
"How on earth did that kid develop such superb skills?"
His eyes unconsciously looked at the clay blocks that were gradually drying up nearby.
If it was said that she had spent more than 20 days to carve out the dragon scale jade, it could be understood that the girl was interested in jade and had relevant reproduction training experience.
Now, this technique that is obviously more like a supermodel, as well as the porcelain craftsmanship combined with jade carving, completely breaks the upper limit of her age.
Zhen Yuandao was very familiar with the skills of his two students. He originally thought that Jia Wenyan's jade carving skills came from the inspiration and guidance of Su Chenghe, but now it seems that such technology is obviously not something that his apprentice can teach.
As for the remaining Gu Yuan, there is no point for those writers who are just armchair strategists to participate in the discussion.
Zhen Yuandao even once suspected that his little apprentice was the product of adulteration of Meng Po soup by a master craftsman when he was reincarnated. But at the same time, he had to admit that the fact that his apprentice was doing well really made them, as masters, feel secretly happy.
He even began to regret why he had made such a crappy requirement that Jia Wenyan would only formally become his disciple after the Yong'an Museum was operating stably.
Therefore, in order to avoid being poached by others, Zhen Yuandao did his best to provide Jia Wenyan with the best creative environment.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Jia Wenyan could see that Zhen Yuandao really worked hard on the list of materials she had provided.
From the day she asked, all the materials sent to the workshop were at least 30% higher than what she had requested. Her production speed also reached new highs without worrying about damage.
Her video was officially uploaded to Station D after being "purified" by editing.
#Relic Reproduction, challenge to reproduce the red jade porcelain brocade box used by Yang Guifei to hold rouge. #
The video opens with an interview with the help of "heavenly voice".
PD: How long has it been since you updated your video?
Jia Wenyan: "It's been almost two years."
PD: "Why haven't you updated for so long?"
Jia Wenyan: "First, I was busy with my studies. Second, the video of the cultural relic reproduction that was played over a million times on D Station gave me enough capital to learn some more advanced craft techniques."
PD: "So now you have learned something?"
"I guess I have gained a certain amount of confidence in myself."
PD: "What are you busy with recently?"
"Lately, of course, I've been busying myself for my future like other college students who are about to graduate. Right now, I'm preparing for the opening of my own craft museum in Xian'an City."
PD: "Museum?"
"Yes, a museum, but it's not the kind of state-owned museum that everyone imagines. Our museum is mainly engaged in the reproduction and reproduction of cultural relics."
"In simple terms, it is to reproduce the appearance of cultural relics in their own era as closely as possible."
"What I want to introduce to you today is the red jade porcelain brocade box that Yang Guifei used to hold her rouge during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty."
The restoration of extremely rare cultural relics, coupled with good looks, in this age of appearance, such a combination almost naturally puts one at a higher starting line in the competition for traffic.
Moreover, in the past two years, the public has been paying more attention to traditional culture, and Jia Wenyan attracted a lot of attention from "old fans" as soon as she resumed updating.
[Fuck, Boss Jia updated? ]
[It's been more than two years, beautiful lady, have you finally remembered your D-station password? ]
[What did I just hear? The beautiful lady from Luojia Mountain came to Xian'an? ]
[Preparing for the opening of the museum, is that what I thought? ]
[Fuck, this young lady doesn't need to trace the lines when she starts carving? ]
[Compared to when I made the Taishi jade pendant two years ago, I have made a lot of progress. ]
[Wait, this mold... needs to be fired by hand? ]
[This porcelain box is so beautiful...wait, is this going to be hand-painted? ]
[How can there be such a huge gap between me and humans? 】
[Carving, porcelain firing, hand-painting... Has the jade carving UP master evolved into a handicraft expert? 】
[The lady above is a talented student majoring in cultural relics restoration at Luojiashan University. ]
[A fellow student from the same school, please give me a thumbs up, and I would like to make a correction. The senior student Jia Wenyan in the video has a double degree in archaeology and cultural relic restoration. I heard that she went to Xian'an City this summer because of her graduation project that combined the two majors. ]
The old fans who got the news first started commenting and posting comments. However, this was just the beginning, because less than an hour after the video was uploaded, the official Weibo of Xian'an Museum directly liked and reposted the video.
At the same time, the official video blog and the bottom of the video also posted the genuine red jade porcelain box that had not been "restored".
[So this is probably why it didn’t become popular before. The restored version is completely different from the original.]
[But think about it, we don’t have a time machine, so the museum must try its best to preserve it. ]
[But the porcelain box that the young lady reproduced is really beautiful, and the apricot flower pattern is really amazing. ]
【And he was painting on porcelain, the art student was already on his knees. 】
The official certification and reposting by the top figures in the cultural relics circle instantly raised Jia Wenyan’s status.
Jia Wenyan also timely announced in the comment section:
"When the number of likes and collections exceeds 100,000, ten simplified miniature red jade porcelain brocade boxes will be randomly drawn from the comment area."
"The number of likes and collections has exceeded one million. In the next video, I will challenge myself to reproduce the intangible cultural heritage Ru porcelain."
This is a simple souvenir made by Jia Wenyan using the scraps when replicating the red jade porcelain brocade box.
Although these brocade boxes use the same craftsmanship, there have been considerable adjustments in both materials and sizes.
The porcelain box, which was originally the size of a mobile phone, was adjusted to the size of a ring box. Even the painted pattern on it was changed from the original red, pink and white apricot flowers to a random one.
But with the same craftsmanship, even a simplified version of the porcelain box still caused a frenzy in the comment section.
[Fuck, this thing is a simplified version. I really want a million views, but only ten draws are too few. ]
[Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking? This is a pure handmade product. Even if it is a simple version, it won’t be much cheaper. ]
[Yes, the most important thing is the workmanship. Do you think this is a mass-produced assembly line in Yiwu? Miss, hit me. I will propose next month and this will just be a good place to put the engagement ring.]
[I want to confess my love to the girl I have a crush on on Valentine's Day, UP host, please look here. 】
[UP Master, pick me. I am getting married next month and am currently preparing for the wedding. If you pick me, I will definitely send you an invitation and charter a plane and hotel. ]
[This is our 10th wedding anniversary. My fingers have become too thick to wear them, so I just wanted to find a nice box to keep them in, with my marriage certificate as proof.]
[My grandparents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Please pick me. 】
Confession, proposal, wedding, tenth anniversary, fiftieth anniversary...
There are thousands of rhetoric for the lottery, but Jia Wenyan's comment section was forcibly turned into a diverse scene of people in various emotional stages by netizens on Station D.
Although the direction is a bit off, as long as the popularity reaches the standard, Jia Wenyan doesn't care so much about these minor episodes.
After all, she also hoped that most laymen who came to join in the fun would become interested in the cultural relics just through such a video. For this reason, she also prepared a further plan. That is...
"Hello, everyone. I am Hongyu, a famous beauty blogger of the Yongan Museum Cultural Relics Family."
"My real body is a ruby porcelain box, which was used by Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty to hold the beauty elixir Taizhen ruby ointment."
"So I, Hongyu, have a very comprehensive understanding of beauty and skin care since I was born. My best work is Taizhen Hongyu Cream."
"I will be at the Yongan Museum and look forward to meeting you all."
Audience: [Okay, bye.]
Hongyu's soft and cute voice instantly attracted a large number of fans.
This is a hidden Easter egg in the video by Jia Wenyan. Netizens only need to scan the QR code at the end to watch this video recorded by Hongyu herself.
After Hongyu woke up, Jia Wenyan discovered that as long as she kept the Golden Eyes of Time open, she could preserve the images of the spirits. So she used this principle to let Hongyu record a promotional video for publicity.
As expected, Hongyu's cute Chinese-style little loli image attracted the attention of many two-dimensional fans as soon as it came out.
[So this museum also customizes the two-dimensional cartoon images of the cultural relics in the museum? ]
[It should be said that the image of this little Lolita with a bun hairstyle really matches the red jade porcelain box. ]
[Especially the little Hanfu with apricot blossom pattern that she is wearing. Is there a similar one? I want to buy one for my baby.]
[I have already begun to look forward to what a beautiful Ru kiln porcelain will be. ]
[The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you...my dear wife. 】
[Dear, although the song "Blue and White Porcelain" describes the representative color of Ru kiln, the blue and white porcelain described in this song is not Ru kiln porcelain. Blue and white porcelain, like the red jade porcelain brocade box just made by the UP host, is a kind of white porcelain that has been painted. ]
[Who can be sure that the representative image of Ru kiln porcelain must be a young lady? Maybe she is also a handsome scholar. ]
[Alas, whether it’s a young lady or a handsome scholar, I just want to know when the Yongan Museum will open and when these IP peripherals will be officially launched. ]
