How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 115 Making the Ultimate Cloisonne?Go straight to the difficulty? !

Zhao Chen sold five pieces of ancient Faru kiln porcelain, each for 20 yuan.

He is a provincial master of porcelain art, and the craftsmanship of the porcelain produced is extremely high, and these porcelains are fully worth the price.

Zhao Chen also knows that porcelain can't be made too much, otherwise the price will drop.

After paying taxes, he earned about 60.

In addition, the prize money of the last international porcelain art competition was 10 euros, which is also a considerable income!

Afterwards, Zhao Chen began to think about the craft of making cloisonné.

In the evening, the live broadcast started.

Zhao Chen held a cat teaser and teased the gray and white kitten Jiuyue.

Jiuyue is innocent and innocent, as long as Zhao Chen picks up the cat teasing stick and shakes it in front of it, the little guy immediately stretches out his front paws to try to catch the ball on the cat teasing stick, but the ball dangles, Jiu Yue can only Head shaking back and forth.

At this time, the cat boss was also nearby.

Zhao Chen shook the cat teasing stick on the face of the cat boss.

The orange cat shrank its face back, trying to avoid the cat teaser, its eyes were three points cold, three points arrogant and four points careless.

Zhao Chen gave up with a smile.

There are a lot of people in the live broadcast room.

Zhao Chen said to the netizens in the live broadcast room:

"Cloisonne will be broadcast live tomorrow. Cloisonne is also called copper cloisonné enamel. The process of cloisonne enamel is simple to understand. It is to use tweezers to pinch red-hot metal into various shapes."

"For example, on the mobile phone case, first apply glue, then pinch the copper wire into the shape of two characters and stick it on, and then inject color paint into it. This is the simplest cloisonné enamel process that everyone can do."

"Of course, actual cloisonne is much harder."

"Tomorrow I will show you the whole process in real time."

Zhao Chen's voice slowly came out from the live broadcast room. Just like at the beginning, he quietly introduced the source of traditional culture to everyone, and then made it himself and broadcast it live, so that everyone can better understand these cultures.

The scenery in the yard is very beautiful, and the small animals also like the brand new soft lawn, playing on the lawn almost the whole time.

The two little foxes were lying on their sides, happily squinting their eyes and sleeping.

In the corner of the yard, Zhao Chen planted a new mosquito repellent flower, and the white flowers bloomed, sending out bursts of fragrance.

Netizens chatted on bullet screens while listening to Zhao Chen's story about cloisonne.

Some people have heard of the word "cloisonne", but they don't know what it does, and some people have never heard of it at all.

As the head of Yanjing Eight Wonders and an outstanding representative of Chinese handicrafts, cloisonne has a very high status in the traditional handicraft circle.

"Cloisonne is a real royal tool, a gift of a great country. This craft was born in the Yuan Dynasty. It has never left the palace for more than 600 years. It is exclusive to the royal family."

"Many emperors have personally made cloisonne, such as Khan Hezan of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty, and Qianlong. When Qianlong was the prince, he personally made a cloisonne for his father's birthday."

"It can be said that before modern times, the folks did not have cloisonne at all, and could not appreciate the beauty of cloisonne."

Zhao Chen began to tell the history of cloisonne.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by him.

Handicrafts made by the emperor himself?Royal weapon?Has it never spread among the people?
Does Huaxia still have such handicrafts?
"Cloisonne has various forms, and its plasticity is much better than that of porcelain."

"Cloisonne can be shaped into pagodas, multi-layered jade vases, butterfly sculptures, or complex structures."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. To make cloisonne, the first step is to design."

"This step often requires a year or even several years of inspiration, conception and repeated revisions by the cloisonné art master."

"The design must not only conform to the aesthetic art, but also consider the difficulty of realization."

"After all, some fanciful designs cannot be realized at all."

"I now have a rough design concept for cloisonne, and I will start drawing design drawings and details tomorrow."

"With the blueprint of the design, the subsequent operations can be easily started."

Zhao Chen said again unhurriedly.

Next, he will try to make cloisonné, and then make a popular science video for Station B.

Now Zhao Chen is not only the anchor, but also the big UP host of station B.

Although there are not many videos, but the quality is high, so the popularity is also very high.

Zhao Chen was hugging the kitten and thinking about the blueprint of the design when his phone rang.

On the other end of the phone, it turned out to be the live broadcast operation of station B.

The other party was straightforward and wanted to invite Zhao Chen to come to station B as a special anchor, and directly offered an annual salary of 1000 million yuan.

Although this kind of annual salary is not the treatment of top-level anchors, it is definitely in the ranks of first-line anchors.

Zhao Chen declined the invitation to operate, but he proposed the idea of ​​closing the tipping and starting a live broadcast on station B.

Just like in Douyin, the live broadcast is only a channel for the audience to understand traditional culture, and does not involve any monetary interests.

Station B readily agrees to this point, there is no conflict of interest, Zhao Chen is still a free man, and the platform can gain popularity.

After all, Zhao Chen's live broadcast on Douyin is very popular now, and many users of station B have come to watch it.

So, after Zhao Chen started broadcasting, it will be a simultaneous live broadcast on both platforms, and the rewards will be turned off.

The next morning, the weather was clear and sunny.

Zhao Chen sat in the gazebo, took out a pen and paper, and was concentrating on designing the blueprint of cloisonné.

At the same time, the Kyoto Cloisonne Institute.

Cloisonne is the first of the Eight Wonders of Yanjing, and it is also a royal weapon. Cloisonne in Kyoto has always been the most famous.

In the Kyoto antique and collection circles, collectors love the beautifully crafted cloisonné.

This kind of craftsmanship is very complicated, and machines can't do so many processes at all, so the collection value is very high.

At this moment, Yang Hua, a cloisonné apprentice from the training institute, was watching Zhao Chen's live broadcast.

Zhao Chen is now very popular on the Huaxia Network, especially in the handicraft field, and has gained a large number of fans.

After all, in his 20s, he was able to be selected as a provincial master of porcelain art. Such a resume is shocking in any handicraft industry.

The artistic ability and craftsmanship demonstrated by Zhao Chen has conquered these craftsmen time and time again.

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to start studying cloisonne, which happens to be a field I am familiar with."

"I've been studying for two years, and I'm considered an introduction. Let's see how he's doing."

Yang Hua thought contentedly.

Watching a live broadcast or watching a short video, the best thing is to see the industry you are familiar with, so that you can comment on the situation of the video and enjoy the superiority of knowledge.

He watched carefully.

Zhao Chen used a ballpoint pen to draw on the paper. At first, he drew a very simple outline, and then drew some iron structures that could be spliced ​​together.

Then, Zhao Chen began to add patterns to the outline.

Cloisonne is the art of metal, just as embroidery is to sew pictures on embroidered cloth with needles and threads, silk weaving uses silk looms and shuttles to weave pictures, and porcelain is to use glaze to draw pictures on porcelain blanks.

Cloisonne is to use metal to pinch out pictures on the surface of copper tires.

Therefore, the more complex the pattern, the higher the difficulty.

This is not something that can be drawn with a brush, but a craftsman who shapes and fixes it little by little, which consumes a lot of time and energy.

Zhao Chen's drawing ability is very strong, and soon, he outlined the pattern of metal filigree on the drawings.

Seeing these patterns, Yang Hua's eyes suddenly widened.

"Fuck! So ruthless? Go directly to the high difficulty!"

"This is a master craft!"

Yang Hua muttered to himself.

He originally thought that what Zhao Chen was doing was an apprentice-level cloisonné, and he was just broadcasting popular science to let everyone know. After all, ordinary anchors do not have such superb craftsmanship.

There are many levels of cloisonne.

For example, the novice level is the gadgets that people can make by themselves by buying some props such as glue, pliers, and copper wire.

Then there is the apprentice level, the professional level, and the master level.

Each level has subdivisions.

The reason why Yang Hua was surprised was because Zhao Chen, as an outsider in cloisonne, immediately challenged the highest level of difficulty.

The complex patterns still overlap each other, although Zhao Chen hasn't colored it yet, but Yang Hua can tell that he is filigree of two different colors.

From the appearance, the prop made by Zhao Chen is a three-legged incense burner with a diameter of about ten centimeters.

There are two symmetrical small handles on both sides of the incense burner.

The surface of the incense burner is painted with patterns of various colors, which looks bright and colorful.

Then, Zhao Chen drew the lid of the incense burner.

Seeing the cover, Yang Hua was even more stunned.

"Damn it! That's where the hollowing out is, brother Chen is probably trying to hollow out the cloisonné."

"It's not porcelain or jade, which can be hollowed out and carved into various shapes. Metal can only be fabricated, so the hollowed out places need to be pinched out bit by bit, and the difficulty is too high!"

Yang Hua said with emotion.

Then, he posted these thoughts in the live broadcast room.

Besides him, many knowledgeable people also said that the difficulty of Zhao Chen's cloisonne is indeed very high, and it belongs to a relatively exquisite level of craftsmanship.

After a while, Zhao Chen's design was over.

He said to the netizens in the live broadcast room: "I plan to make an incense burner this time. This incense burner is relatively simple in design, but I have added a lot of details and it will take some effort."

"Amazing cloisonné, many of which are half-meter-high bottles, with patterns and styles constantly changing from top to bottom. The ornamental effect is the same as that of porcelain, but it has higher plasticity and more shapes."

"That's really top-notch craftsmanship."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, many people responded in harmony:
[Brother Chen, the cloisonne you mentioned was made by the master for several years, it must be amazing! 】

[Your incense burner is also very difficult, can it really be realized? 】

【Good guy, I thought I was drawing a picture on a wooden board with the method of cloisonné enamel, but I didn't expect to make a censer full of details directly! 】

[The design is very good, but I don't know if it can be done! 】

[Brother Chen is a real artist, an old artist, no problem! 】
