Chapter 302 Helen and the Golden Carpet
The smaller statue is also a statue of a figure, carved from a piece of ice material of Fu Lu Shou weighing nearly a hundred catties.

The so-called Fu Lu Shou refers to emeralds with green, red, yellow or green, yellow and purple colors at the same time.In fact, there are not many jadeites with three colors at the same time, but most of the multi-colored jadeites are poorly grown, and their appearance is ugly. However, there are few jadeites that are well-grown, and multi-color jadeites that are well-grown are even rarer. .

Han Zhenyang was willing to take out such a piece of ice-born Fu Lu Shou material, which was really costly.

The material is so good, so naturally we can't just carve a theme to deal with it, and it is also a good theme for careful design and carving.

In the choice of subject matter, I still chose the legendary characters in Greek mythology, but this time I chose a female character, and it was the famous Helen. Yes, it was Helen who triggered the Battle of Troy, the daughter of Zeus and Leda. .

Judging by the moral concepts of modern people, this famous alluring beauty is an out-and-out woman, but in the legend, no one seems to criticize her behavior.But it’s normal when you think about it. Whether it’s the main god or demigod in Greek mythology, or other heroes, they seem to be very casual about sex and love. Let’s not talk about others, just talk about Helen, the king of the gods. Dad Zeus.

In myths and legends, there are as many as eighteen women who have had relationships with Zeus. These women include Zeus’s second sister, third sister, cousin, cousin, aunt, aunt, and great-granddaughter. The most important thing is seventeen of them He also gave birth to at least one child.

With such an old man watching in front of her, Helen's affair was simply a child's play, and it could barely be regarded as a public affair.

Of course, Han Zhenyang didn't intend to criticize this peerless beauty, nor did he intend to defend her, but he felt a little ridiculous when he knew the background of the story before creating it.

But I have to admit that this Goddess Helen did provide him with a very good creative subject matter.

The scene he chose was the scene of Helen weaving the golden carpet in the city of Troy, and at this time, her current husband Paris and her former husband Menelaus were fighting a duel outside the city.

In the picture, Helen is lazily leaning on a large ancient Greek style bed, with her head bowed, weaving a golden blanket.

If you only look at the picture, it is a girl who is weaving a carpet, but combined with the legend, this girl-like character is worth tasting, because the golden carpet she is weaving records her previous experience. She eloped with Paris After arriving in Troy, I often felt guilty, so I wove my own experience on such a golden floor.

Coupled with the fact that her two husbands are engaged in a life-and-death duel outside the city, the leisure and tranquility she displayed at this time is even more worth pondering.

What is a good work of art, the old Schroeder said, you portray the characters and let the readers imagine and taste by themselves.

Han Zhenyang deeply implemented this idea of ​​creation. He did not attach any personal thoughts when he sculpted Helen. Instead, he copied the legendary picture that was only recorded in words in the form of sculpture. Helen in the picture is an ordinary girl, but she His appearance is more beautiful and more moving.

Not only is the theme good, but the material is also good. Han Zhenyang’s ingenious design and exquisite carving work perfectly combine the two. The whole body of this statue is mainly green jadeite, but the background, such as the big bed, is mostly purple. The finishing touch is the yellow part of this piece of emerald. He skillfully carved that bit of yellow jade like chicken oil into the golden carpet in Helen's hands. Against the backdrop of the purple background and green theme, such a bit of yellow is particularly unique.

The most important thing is that Huang Fei, who was carved into a carpet by Han Zhenyang, can not only see the texture of the carpet, but even the patterns woven on the stalls, which belong to Helen's experience.If you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can see that it is a series of small murals. The content of the painting is exactly the legend that Helen was snatched away by Theseus, rescued by her two brothers, married to Menelaus, and married to Menelaus. Paris had an affair, eloped to Troy and other experiences.

There are so many small murals hidden in the sculpture, and each one is so lifelike, which is more advanced than "picture-in-picture", it should be "picture-in-picture-in-picture".

How superb Han Zhenyang's craftsmanship is, in fact, there is no need to repeat it, the "Achilles heel" has been fully demonstrated, and his previous works are not bad at all.But when the old Schroeder saw this Helen statue, he still looked at it carefully for more than 30 minutes before he came back to his senses.

The old Schroeder who came back to his senses tightly grasped Han Zhenyang's palm, and said very seriously: "Han, I can guarantee that you are going to be famous."

"I hope so," Han Zhenyang smiled reservedly.

"However, why do you..." Old Schroeder said with a wry smile, "Why did you use Helena's face as the model?"

Han Zhenyang shrugged his shoulders, "Old Shi, I really couldn't imagine how beautiful Helen is in the legend, until I met Helena, so when I chose Helen as the subject, I made up my mind to ask Helena models."

"Oh? When did she model for you? Why didn't I know?" Old Schroeder was taken aback. Most of the models in the field of Western sculpture are nude models, because Western sculpture has very strict requirements on the proportions and details of the figures. Strict, the degree of realism is higher than that of oil painting or even sketch, if wearing clothes, it is difficult to show some details.

Therefore, when the old Schroeder heard that Han Zhenyang asked Helena to be a model, he subconsciously thought that Helena was Han Zhenyang's nude model.

Han Zhenyang secretly laughed: I have seen your granddaughter thousands of times, and I can even count how many hairs she has on her body, so there is no fuss.

Of course, I did not dare to say this, but hastily defended: "Lao Shi, don't think about it, I just had that idea, but later found that Helena's appearance has been deeply engraved in my mind, even though With my eyes closed, I can carve out her face exactly, and then..." He pointed to the statue, "and then it existed."

Old Schroeder opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally shook his head with a wry smile, "Han, you're an asshole, but you're also a genius, really."

"Thank you for the compliment," Han Zhenyang always showed a sunny and gentle smile, behaved decently and politely, and sometimes made some modest jokes.There's no way, old Schroeder is just going to do this. In order to get close to the grandpa and grandson, he had to do this.

Old Schroeder shook his head while admiring the three sculptures carefully.

All three sculptures are based on Greek mythological figures, except for Achilles and Helen, the remaining one is Prometheus.

Prometheus is also a tragic figure, and has a higher status. He is equivalent to the creator of human beings, the guide of light, and the spreader of fire. Anyway, the aura on his body is more dazzling.

The scene selected by Han Zhenyang is the scene of Prometheus being tied to the cliff of the Caucasus Mountains. The shape is quite tragic. Not only are the limbs supported, but the knees cannot be bent, nails are nailed to the chest, and an eagle is watching staring at his chest—ready to peck at his liver at any moment.

The carving is also real and exquisite, and the aura of grief and indignation diffuses through every line of the statue, and the aura is quite tragic.

After reading it, Old Schroeder praised and sighed, "Han, Helen's is called 'Helen and Her Golden Carpet', well, this one is called 'Prometheus'?"

"Whatever, it's just a name, it doesn't matter what it's called, anyway, in the eyes of different audiences, they all have their own names, so we don't need to guide them, right?" Han Zhenyang smiled casually.

"Haha, use my theory to teach me, Han, it's really up to you," Old Schroeder laughed.

"You are a good teacher," Han Zhenyang smiled, "Lao Shi, where is Helena?"

"I went shopping for groceries. She decided to cook for lunch today. Han, you are very lucky. You can taste the delicacies cooked by Helena. Usually young men don't have this opportunity."

"It seems that my efforts these days have not been in vain."

"Hahaha, there is still a long way to go, young man, don't worry too much. There is an old saying in your country that goes, 'You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry', and it's the same when you are chasing girls." Old Schroeder laughed, "Although I don't want Helena With you, but love is like flowing clouds, it is never fixed, unpredictable and unthinkable, it can only go with the flow."

"Lao Shi, Helena is lucky to have grandpas like you," Han Zhenyang praised earnestly. Westerners do have something to learn in this respect.

Old Schroeder sighed and shook his head, "If, I mean, if, Helena really chooses you, please treat her well!"

Han Zhenyang pierced his eyes, and suddenly felt a little strange: Why do these words sound familiar? It seems that there are similar plots in many novels and movies. It is a typical Tuogu language. Generally, after saying these words, it will definitely happen. What a big deal.

However, he quickly laughed at himself, joking that he was a little nervous, and that his interpretation of Old Schroeder's words was a bit too much.

Old Schroeder naturally didn't know what Han Zhenyang was thinking. After sighing, he changed the subject directly, "Han, I'll go back to Germany tomorrow to help you run the operation. If everything goes well, it can be done within half a month. If it doesn't go well, time may It will take a little longer, so I want you to help me take care of Helena."

Han Zhenyang's eyes widened in surprise, "Helena won't go back with you?" Because Helena is the assistant of old Schroeder in name, it makes no sense for old Schroeder not to take Helena with him when he goes back.

Schroeder smiled wryly, "She has been mysteriously busy lately, and she probably doesn't want to go back."

"Then you are not afraid that I will take advantage of the fire to rob you," Han Zhenyang deliberately showed a fierce expression.
