Chapter 315: Promotional song for the Palace Museum Ceramics Exhibition; Drafting the theme for the new song.
Wang Yueheng eventually agreed to the Palace Museum's invitation to meet.
More than ten minutes later.
Three men and women arrived at Wang Yueheng's hotel room.
Two of the men were dressed in blue shirts and black trousers, carrying briefcases, and looked like cultural scholars.
Another middle-aged woman wore light makeup, a light white dress embroidered with blue flowers, fair skin, and a gentle and refined demeanor.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Qi Xingguo, the curator of the Ceramics Gallery of the Palace Museum."
"This is Fan Junsheng, the head of our publicity department."
The older, round-faced man shook hands with Wang Yueheng first and introduced himself.
The young man beside him smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello, Mr. Yue Heng. You can call me Xiao Fan."
"This is Ms. Cao Jianjia, the fourth-generation inheritor of a renowned ceramic family in Jingzhen, the porcelain capital, a master of Chinese crafts, and a member of the Ceramic Artists Association."
Qi Xingguo, the curator of the ceramics museum, then pointed to the woman in the blue and white dress next to him and solemnly introduced her.
"Hello Mr. Yue Heng, it's a pleasure to meet you in Kyoto."
The woman, named Cao Jianjia, gracefully stepped forward and shook hands briefly with Wang Yueheng.
The woman was around thirty years old, dressed with a touch of mature charm, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, like a classical beauty untouched by worldly affairs.
Looking at the visitors before him, Wang Yueheng sighed inwardly.
As expected of the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, I have met all sorts of people in just a few days here.
Mo Zixue was brewing tea for several guests on one side of the living room.
Such people of unusual status and position are already commonplace.
"We know you have other matters to attend to, so let's make a long story short. Here's what happened..."
"Jingzhen, the ceramic capital, plans to hold a ceramic culture exhibition at our museum to promote the ceramic culture of China and encourage people to visit Jingzhen for tourism."
"We originally commissioned a veteran singer to create a promotional song for this exhibition."
"As a result, this veteran singer unexpectedly fell ill and was hospitalized, so the songwriting project fell through."
"However, they specifically recommended you, asking us to help them complete this promotional song for the exhibition..."
Fan Junsheng, who was in charge of publicity, placed his briefcase on the table and spoke first.
"I see…"
After listening to the other party's explanation, Wang Yueheng immediately understood what was going on.
"Of course, we also know that most people are not interested in things like ceramics."
"If you could agree to help us compose this promotional song."
"We also brought some relevant materials, hoping they can provide inspiration for your creative work..."
As he spoke.
Fan Junsheng opened his briefcase and took out a beautifully printed 16k booklet.
"As you can see, the porcelain pieces featured in this exhibition are mostly representative works from well-known Jingzhen porcelain..."
"This includes exquisitely translucent porcelain and delicately crafted famille rose porcelain with rich colors..."
"Colored glaze porcelain passed down from the Ming and Qing dynasties..."
"And blue and white porcelain, which originated in the Tang and Song dynasties, reached its technological peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with its glaze being serene and elegant..."
Fan Junsheng flipped through the picture album one by one, quickly and concisely introducing the relevant knowledge to Wang Yueheng.
Help him understand the main content of this ceramics exhibition.
When introducing blue and white porcelain, Qi Xingguo, the curator of the ceramics museum, added:
"Especially this blue and white porcelain, which is fired at a high temperature of 1300℃ after being glazed, has a bright blue color that is clear, elegant and serene..."
"It possesses a refined and elegant beauty characteristic of the East, and it is also a highlight of our Palace Museum exhibition this time..."
"Blue and white porcelain is durable and there are a huge number of surviving pieces. Therefore, it is the first of the traditional porcelains in Jingzhen and also Ms. Cao Jianjia's favorite."
After speaking, the curator, Qi Xingguo, looked up at Wang Yueheng's reaction.
For young people in China.
Understanding traditional ceramics is as dry and boring as understanding traditional opera.
Few young people are interested in these things that are only for show and not for practical use.
If it weren't for that experienced senior in the music industry who proactively recommended Wang Yueheng to take over and complete the promotional song,
Qi Xingguo is the curator of the Palace Museum Ceramics Gallery.
I never would have thought of asking this young singer who had just debuted to help with songwriting.
