Coquettish Rebirth

The government subsidy, 300 million or so a year, is not too much, but after Jia Hongjian pondered over it, he estimated that the wages of "old artists" were about the same. As for the remaining products, of course it would not be said It's Huaxia High-Tech's pure profit, so why should it be divided into the following with the old artists?Otherwise, Jia Hongjian and the others will be at a loss if they become famous later and run off to start their own business, right?So if you want to make the cake bigger, you have to share some with others.

Here, Lao Cheng said a word, and Jia Hongjian nodded his head, which seemed to make sense in his mind.To be honest, turning this old craftsman into an artist is a kind of skill, just like when we first liberated, we included all the singers who talked about cross talk, and prevented them from selling on the street. Live, but get paid.In this way, after the pressure of survival is gone, they can be allowed to talk about new cross talks that conform to the new morality and fashion of socialism according to the government's new attitude, instead of the old cross talks that are full of nasty jokes and swearing jokes. .At the same time, the government has also granted artist status to various artists. For example, Mr. Mei Lanfang became a state-recognized artist in no time, so he can enter various consultation meetings to discuss state affairs!In those days, it really improved the status of an artist—after all, according to the past practice, this artist was one of the low-ranking people in the past. Thieves and the like are all kind of people, isn't there an old saying that "a bitch is ruthless, an actor is ruthless"?

This suddenly changed them to art workers, and then gave them back the status of artists.Those one by one were joined together with Dan Qing who was a middle-class artist, that is, painters, and so on, which really greatly improved their social status!In this way, many artists were so moved by it back then, and this is what Jia Hongjian wanted to do at this time.Of course, Jia Hongjian didn't have that kind of prestige. He said that if so-and-so craftsmen became artists, they would be able to enter the Great Hall to discuss national affairs. This is definitely not possible.But what Jia Hongjian can give others is an improvement in status, that is, from an old man who runs a business in the streets and alleys and is facing elimination in the industry.A poor man with little culture.It has become a glamorous artist who can become a representative of traditional Chinese craftsmen to show foreign guests, earn foreign exchange, or even go abroad to promote the artist!How many artisans would be grateful just for this kind of improvement in social status?

Of course, tears of gratitude don't last long.people.Thank you two, three, three, five years later.Then get used to it, and then you will feel that it should be done.If it is said that Jia Hongjian blackmailed all the money from selling the product only by crying out for gratitude, it has been a long time.People have become famous, even if they feel at ease that this is good, but their sons and daughters, or even relatives around them don’t mean they won’t say a word——Since we are all famous now, why don’t we How about setting up your own business?If we sell it to foreigners, the money we make is our own, isn't it better than getting paid a dead wage now?

The so-called human heart is not as good as a snake swallowing an elephant. Even if it is Guo Degang, don't some of his apprentices think that they are enough, and they want to come out and do it alone?Although it was quite miserable later on, but before he came out, he felt that he could earn almost the same money as Guo Degang once he came out!

After thinking about it here, Jia Hongjian prepared to let the people below start looking for various craftsmen.It is not easy to find craftsmen, the best thing is to cooperate with the government or something.If there is such a document issued by the government, each district, community, etc. should report the handicraft celebrities within their range, and at the same time, the municipal government might also have information on intangible cultural heritage, right?

As soon as I inquired about it, there really were——there are 6 things clearly recorded in Shanghai, and the first one is Gu Xiu.This Gu embroidery is not a person, but a skill, which was named after the Gu Ming family in Songjiang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty.It is a "painting embroidery" based on famous paintings, and is world-famous for its exquisite techniques, elegant forms and high artistry.This Gu embroidery is different from other people's embroidery. Other people's embroidery is to embroider a little things, a little mandarin ducks, pheasants, etc., but this Gu embroidery, if it is really big, it can cover all the pictures of Qingming Shanghe Go up to Quanxiu!Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a painting!

The second one is bamboo carving, which is simple. The bamboo carving in Shanghai is also the largest school of bamboo carving in China. With bamboo as the carrier, all kinds of calligraphy, painting, poetry, seals and so on can be engraved on it.The third one is the noodle man. This noodle man can be found all over the country, and the one in Shanghai is also quite good. It uses flour and glutinous rice flour as the main raw materials, plus pigments, paraffin wax, honey and other ingredients. Anti-crack and anti-mildew treatment to make dough of various colors.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth are also found in other places, mainly straw weaving, paper-cutting and lanterns.Although these three things are found all over the country, Shanghai also has its own characteristics.

Of course people in these fields are looking for, but apart from these people, Jia Hongjian also needs to find some more interesting and everyday craftsmen, just like when he was a child, he remembered that there would be scissors sharpening in the alley. Shouting—there used to be special hawkers walking around the streets to sharpen knives and scissors for people!And mending bowls, etc., and even a very strange thing in Jia Hongjian's impression-cutting hair with a soldering iron!

Jia Hongjian also forgot when he saw this stuff, but he did have this stuff in his impression. When this stuff was cut, it didn't mean that it was the same as the later hair cut. Instead of cutting with scissors or clippers, more traditional methods are used-a red-hot soldering iron is directly attached to the hair, and the hair will be broken where it is burned, and then the scissors can be used to repair the details!

Stuff like this actually exists in foreign countries. Jia Hongjian heard that in the 5060s, there seemed to be such a way of cutting hair in Europe, but now people in Europe do not have it.How interesting it would be to make a "display stand" for something that used to be common in the past!

Even, in addition to the local handicrafts in Shanghai or near the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Hongjian thought that he could also recruit traditional craftsmen from all over the country, just like traditional shipbuilders - in the early years Shipbuilding is a handicraft, and it is difficult to draw curves on wood. There were no later scientific tools back then!That requires craftsmen to fasten ink lines on both ends of the wood, and then pull the middle of the ink lines by hand, and then let go, relying on this elasticity to make the ink lines pop up on the wood in an arc that is just right and scientific, and then follow such a How much skill is it to saw wood with an arc?How much experience is needed to practice this?But now that ships are all built by machines, no one will learn the ancient shipbuilding craft a little bit.

How good would it be to recruit such craftsmen?Yes or no?These things turn around here and they make their own craftsmanship, surrounded by a circle of foreigners, so why can't they sell tickets?Yes or no?After foreigners see this thing, they must be crazy!This is the magical skill of mysterious China!

So, when the company's employees are asked to cooperate with the government to find people, on the other hand, their Tianzifang has suspended the investment promotion work. Jia Hongjian also said that this area is not ready to attract investment for the time being. , but prepared to stay and play.You have to play by yourself, and the decoration is not easy to do in advance, so the Tianzifang Nagada, the construction site stopped immediately, and everything was waiting for Jia Hongjian to get it done.

If the construction site is stopped, it will always lose money - it is impossible for the workers to say that they will not be paid if they do not start work here!Although the construction team is theoretically paid for one day of work, if it rains, people will have no money to take it, but the problem is that it is not because of force majeure that makes people unable to work, but because the owner does not want to work, of course they have to pay up!Plus all kinds of equipment, all this has to wait on the construction site?It's all money?However, although the money went out, Jia Hongjian didn't care too much about it. Compared with the money he would earn in the future, what was the money that went out temporarily?

While waiting to find those handicraftsmen all the way here, when the construction site was shut down and waiting, Jia Hongjian received a call from Spielberg—"Hey, Hongjian, you guys Why is "Journey to the West" so obscure? It seems that the pleasure of reading is really... choking!"

"Haha," Jia Hongjian was delighted when he heard it, "Didn't you say you want to read the original flavor? This is the original flavor! But this book was written hundreds of years ago, so of course it is obscure. Now, isn’t the Lord of the Rings written by Tolkien also imitating the ancient style, so it’s also very obscure?”

"That's true, but to be honest, if you read this complete book, it feels like the story has expanded a lot all of a sudden, and the whole rhythm has been messed up a lot, but the chaos has increased the thickness of the story a lot... I always feel that the story behind Journey to the West It seems to be telling some kind of story, some places are not reasonable on the surface, why was the Monkey King so powerful before, but so weak after he arrived? Why did he become invincible to anyone after that, and have to ask others for help?" Si The old man Pielberg asked in puzzlement.

Hey!Did the old man see the key part? This question is also something that many Chinese people find very strange, but over the past few hundred years, everyone has explained it from their own perspectives. Some people say that Monkey King entered the system, no matter how capable he is. If you want to hide it, if you encounter someone's leader's "insider" making trouble, you still have to find the leader to clean it up, and you can't clean it up yourself. However, in Jia Hongjian's view, there is a huge conspiracy behind it. Secret...(to be continued...)
