Chapter 224: Western Art
Although everyone has read a lot of precious literature, many of which are still lonely, many people in the live broadcast room feel bored, don't know how to appreciate it, and can't help it.
If it weren't for the fact that the anchor spoke humorously and interjected a little cold joke from time to time, I am afraid that many viewers would have left.
Compared with those exquisite antiques, these ancient books and the like really don't have much charm. Perhaps, in the eyes of historians and archaeologists, it is like a peerless beauty.
Hu Yang also noticed that the number of viewers has decreased somewhat, and has dropped to about 500,000.
So, he hurriedly urged Ye Xin to look at other things, shift his position, and don't lose all this rare popularity. Taking advantage of everyone's efforts today, Populus euphratica is still planning, do you want to gather enough 300,000 followers today?
It's a bit hard, but it's not whimsical, and with a little effort, it's still possible.
"Everyone, pay attention! If today's attention exceeds 300,000, five surprise gift packages will be given, if you want to know what, everyone will help increase the amount of attention. Hu Yang said to everyone.
The old audience is actually quite speechless, such a strange anchor, I'm afraid there is only Brother Hu alone.
Everyone else took the opportunity to ask for gifts, and he only asked for attention. What is the surprise package this time? Two days ago, 60 pieces of jade ornaments were sent, worth nearly one million, benefiting many people, and everyone still remembers it vividly, even if there is no winner of the lottery, it also feels very exciting.
Of course, some people want to say that it was not sent by Brother Hu, is there actually a difference? As long as it is sent by this live broadcast room, who do you still hold accountable for sending it?
What can make Brother Hu a surprise gift package shouldn't be a reward of one or two thousand, right?
"Brother Hu, let's talk about what's in the gift bag first!"
"That's it, let's reveal it! I'm a little stingy this time! It's only five copies. ”
"How can you say that you are stingy? The whole platform, or the entire live broadcast industry, can you find an anchor as generous as Brother Hu? I estimate that it is more expensive, so I look forward to it! Everyone hurry up and pay attention, today we will take Brother Hu's surprise gift package. ”
......
Hu Yang didn't meet everyone's questions this time, shook his head and said: "It's all said to be a surprise package, revealed, are there any surprises? ”
The last sentence was relieved after everyone heard it.
In the past, there were thousands of yuan, one or two thousand. This time it is more expensive, and it is even crowned with the word "surprise", maybe forty or fifty thousand!
The anchor is really a rich man, and he is generous, and he throws out two or three hundred thousand yuan, and he doesn't take it seriously at all.
With this kind of benefit, the audience who just came was surprised. Especially the viewers who watched Brother Hu's live broadcast for the first time, they watched the speech on the public screen, and only then did they know that this anchor is so powerful that he often gives benefits to the audience. There have been quite a few lucky viewers who have tasted the sweetness.
Seeing everyone's speculation, it may be a gift worth about 50,000 yuan. The new audience was very excited, knowing that the probability of being drawn was very low, 500,000 people, only five people won the lottery, that is, the probability of 1 in 100,000.
But what if! one in 100,000, what if you are one of them?
Therefore, a lot of people who don't pay attention to it, all of them pay attention, and it doesn't cost money anyway. Don't say 50,000, it's 20,000 or 30,000, they have to try their luck too! This is much more cost-effective than buying a lottery ticket.
Therefore, Populus Hu found that in less than a minute, the attention soared by almost 20,000, and it has reached more than 280,000. The distance is 300,000, that is, the number of 120,000.
In fact, not only the audience in the live broadcast room was curious, but Ye Xin and Andy around them were also curious about what Brother Hu was going to send this time.
Especially Ye Xin, who doesn't know much about the previous poplars, and doesn't know what benefits he gave to the audience before, so he is even more curious. Is this a loss-making live stream?
To say that this young man is really just to spread the lofty ideals of traditional culture, Ye Xin is a little unconvinced. Looking at Populus euphratica like this, it is not for money, then it should be for fame.
However, after coming into contact with Populus euphratica, he found that he was not a vain person.
For a while, Ye Xin was a little unclear about this man, and his thoughts were unpredictable.
Everyone found that there are not only precious ancient cultural relics here, but also ancient Western artworks, and not one or two.
For example, the sculptures are clearly European-style.
"These are all gifts from abroad, and our museum also has exchanges with some other museums abroad. Sometimes, they will not only send back some of our former treasures, but even art from their own country. Ye Xin explained.
For example, these sculptures, in fact, in foreign countries, the artistic value is not too high, so it is not a big deal to take them out and give them away.
At this time, some people have to ask, China is a country that pays attention to etiquette, what kind of etiquette is still exchanged, and the most enthusiastic. People don't believe it, people just give it away for nothing, and we don't give anything else.
Hu Yang didn't embarrass Ye Xin these questions, and answered them for everyone: "Etiquette is still exchanged, this is as it should be." I gave away a lot of them, but they weren't what everyone imagined, and many of them were highly imitated works.
For example, the Century Baoding that we presented to the United Nations is sure that everyone has heard of it.
Century Baoding is 2.1 meters high, symbolizing the upcoming 21st century. Three-legged standing, two ears towering, slightly bulging abdomen, round bottom. Surrounded by Shang and Zhou gluttonous ornaments, the animal face to ward off evil spirits, and the moire pattern fills the bottom.
Dingyuan forbidden square, the whole Baoding is simple and dignified, grandiose, very majestic, it can be said to be a magnificent masterpiece.
Baoding is a big thing for the country, a real cultural relic, and it is impossible to give it away, even if the other party is the United Nations.
At that time, in order to build that Baoding, all the first-class bronze experts in China gathered in the capital, and it took more than three months to complete the design of that Baoding.
Later, many of the things that give away foreign artworks are high-quality imitations. But in terms of craftsmanship, we did not cut corners, even if it is a modern craft, it is also a work of art of great value. ”
Even high-quality imitation works, given by China, are very popular, after all, over the years, Chinese art has become more and more important in the international status and value.
Of course, it's not all imitations, and we can still get our hands on some less important cultural relics. Ye Xin said.
Like some porcelain that has survived a lot, it doesn't hurt to give away a few.
In fact, this practice is not only with Chinese characteristics, but also from other countries. The truly precious cultural relics are also hidden by themselves, and the gifts are also imitations.
"Some countries, their own imitation technology is not good, and they will even ask for help from China. For example, some countries in Southeast Asia have asked us to help us many times to imitate a number of their cultural relics.
This is also one of the reasons why the state supports high imitation so much. Ye Xin said.
After listening to Consultant Ye's words, many people in the live broadcast room were very proud. Made in China, not only ordinary goods, but even works of art?
Ye Xin pointed to the pile of sculptures and said, "Most of these sculptures come from Greece. Greek art in this area has been strong since ancient times, and can be ranked among the top three in the world. ”
The early Greek statues have traces of imitating Egyptian carvings, which still exist in the ancient period, but the sculptors have begun to be not satisfied with imitation, and strive to explore the structure and proportion of the human body with their own eyes, and create realistic, natural and vibrant artistic images.
The world-famous statues are basically from Greece, like the famous folding Venus, which is the work of ancient Greece. From the first day it was discovered, it was recognized as the most beautiful statue of a Greek woman to date, and it is also the jewel of the Louvre's three main museums.
The ancient West, Roman culture and Greek culture, almost all the essence of Europe. Britain can't hold its head up at all in front of others. When people were playing art, Britain probably still wore animal skin pants to hunt.
"For example, this sculpture, is it familiar to everyone? It is an Apollo statue, and it is also a high imitation.
Apollo is a Greek deity, you should know this, right?
But in terms of styling, there is actually an Egyptian style. The statue bows his head and gestures to life, he looks down, and his arms are stretched forward, as if to touch things, which is a manifestation of the humanity of the gods.
Some say that ancient Greek culture was influenced by many Egyptian civilizations.
In fact, this is not wrong, the ancient country of Egypt was indeed very strong. In the whole Mediterranean, which country was not affected? Just like our Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, except for India, which was blocked by the Himalayas, it could not be affected, and the surrounding countries were all influenced by Confucian culture. Ye Xin continued to talk to everyone.
She told everyone that these works of art were specially given by Greece.
Since the beginning of a few years ago, the state has not invested heavily in Greece, which has brought huge benefits to Greece's economic recovery, so they want to give back to China.
Among them, a lot of artworks were given away, and some Chinese cultural relics collected from Europe were returned to China free of charge.
So, sometimes you don't look at government funding to aid other countries, and you don't like it.
If there is no potential and no money to be made, are the Chinese so stupid? Investment is all about making money. Moreover, there are benefits that are not visible to the naked eye. The country's long-term considerations are not all that we can figure out.
Of course, the countries you don't expect to help are all like Pakistan, and it's normal to have a few white-eyed wolves, and they drop the chain at a critical moment.
"Greece is still a little sincere, and in the first two years, it helped us to take the lead and recover a number of precious cultural relics. ”
Putting aside other factors, at this point, it can be seen that Ye Xin has a good impression of Greece.
In fact, in terms of ancient cultural exchanges, there are not many countries that can have a dialogue with China.
In Africa, Egypt can still do it, and in Europe it is Greece and other small countries. Although India is one of the four ancient civilizations, the relationship between everyone is not particularly good, after all, there is still a Pakistani iron sandwiched in the middle, and you can't please both ends?
