"Big sister!" Bai Wei said in a low voice.

Boss Gu stopped his movements and glanced at Bai Wei, who was immediately silenced and beckoned to Lin Qingcha.

Lin Qingcha walked to Bai Wei's side, and Boss Gu didn't say anything, just continued to concentrate on the work at hand.

The handmade silver jewelry basically goes through the process of melting silver, forging, blanking, making lead support, carving, welding, and washing silver.

At this time, Boss Gu is carrying out the third step, blanking.

On the workbench in front of him were drawings and materials, and the drawings were not yesterday's, but re-copied, more detailed than yesterday's.

He was drawing a little bit of silver from the drawing, but the silver was slightly larger than the one on the drawing, probably to leave room for processing, just like the reason for leaving room for engraving.

Lin Qingcha looked at it with interest, but her mind was thinking about yesterday's inspiration, how to present it, if she wrote it in the background of a silver jewelry store, how much did she need to know about the craft of handmade silver jewelry and this industry......

Compared to Lin Qingcha's distracting thoughts, Bai Wei has not been distracted since Lin Qingcha came over, staring at the movements in Boss Gu's hands with full attention, and Xiao Rou's face is full of seriousness.

At this step, when Lin Qingcha came, Boss Gu had already done most of it, so it didn't take long for the rough processed silver pieces to be ready.

"It's almost time, the other children should be here, do you want to go out?" Boss Gu stopped and said to the two.

Lin Qingcha nodded, she was originally curious to come and watch, it was almost enough, but Bai Wei looked unsatisfied.

He asked, "Uncle Gu, when will you do the next steps?"

"Right now. ”

Bai Wei pinched his fingers and struggled for a moment, and then made a decision: "Then I won't listen to the story, just continue to watch Uncle Gu's silver jewelry here!"

"Okay. Boss Gu agreed directly.

Lin Qingcha looked at Boss Gu and felt that the way he looked at Bai Wei was a little familiar......

She thought about it carefully, and then suddenly remembered, isn't this look the same as the look in Old Man Gu yesterday when he saw Boss Gu take out a satisfactory drawing?

Gratified.

……

"Then I'll go out first. Lin Qingcha nodded politely to Boss Gu, and then walked towards the door.

Bai Wei suddenly shouted at her again, then ran over and took out a paper bag from his pocket.

"Now, I promised to bring you sour horn chips!"

Ah, the obedient child is the most likable, and he wants to have a son!

Soon, though, she calmed down.

Forget it, there are no objects......

Taking the sour horn slices, Lin Qingcha also took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Bai Wei, and by the way, pinched a handful of fleshy faces.

cough, suddenly I feel like a weird aunt.

Back in the front hall, there were already several children around the old man, each with a small Mazha, obediently eating tea fruits, waiting for the old man to tell a story.

"Come out, find a pony to sit on by yourself~"

"Good. ”

Because it was cold today, the old man put the place indoors, the front hall was not big, there were many people, and it was a little crowded, but it was also lively.

Among the bunch of small radish heads, the adult Lin Qingcha is particularly special, but she is still very complacent, and it would be good to think of herself as a six-year-old~

However, the old man didn't ask Bai Wei if he couldn't come out at all, as if he had expected that he wouldn't come out, so he started telling the story directly when he saw that the people were almost over.

At the beginning of the story, the little radish heads no longer had the heart to pay attention to her, and they all stared at the old man and listened carefully.

After all, the old man is old, and he won't talk for an hour or two in a row, and his body can't stand it, so he talks for a while, rests for a while, and then answers some whimsical questions from the children.

Time passed quickly, Lin Qingcha took the pen and wrote a lot of things in the small notebook he brought.

When the little radish heads gradually dispersed, the old man looked at what Lin Qingcha recorded in the notebook, and said: "Actually, old man, I'm a little curious, why did you come to Kunming, Miss Lin?

"You look a little different. ”

Lin Qingcha closed the notebook and smiled gently: "I'm a director, and I'm looking for the next story to be filmed." ”

"Found it?"

"Found it. ”

"That's good. Old Man Gu nodded.

Lin Qingcha glanced at the compartment, but Bai Wei hadn't come out yet.

"Old Man Gu, Bai Wei, is it Boss Gu's apprentice?"

Old Man Gu shook his head: "Not yet." ”

"Why? I saw that he seemed to be interested in silversmithing. ”

"Yes, Ah Wei is very interested in this, and he is also eager to learn, and we are willing to teach. Old Man Gu sighed slightly, "It's just that he's still a little younger, we don't know how long he can last, and his parents don't quite agree with him coming here for an apprentice." ”

"What do Ah Wei's parents think?"

They are also for Ah Wei's good, hoping that he will study seriously and go out, instead of staying in a small silversmith like Kunming as a silversmith for the rest of his life. ”

"Now that technology is getting more and more developed, and the silver jewelry process has also been affected by mechanization, no one wants to learn our time-consuming, laborious and unprofitable handicraft......"

Lin Qingcha could feel the sorrow in the heart of the old man.

The times are advancing, and there is a giveaway, and these traditional crafts are the easiest part to be given up.

There are many people who are also trying to protect these crafts from being drowned in the torrent of time.

Sometimes, however, such efforts do not necessarily work, and this is a matter of recourse......

Lin Qingcha didn't know how to comfort the old man, so he could only remain silent and listen silently.

……

Leaving from the ancient family silver ornaments, Lin Qingcha's mood suddenly became a little heavy, and she felt a little empathy for the old man's mood.

Not only the handicraft industry, but also the development of the film industry today also makes Lin Qingcha feel a little at a loss.

Coming here these times, she feels a sense of impetuousness in this industry.

She watched a lot of new films that came out in the past two decades and found that many directors no longer make movies to tell a good story, but for money.

As long as you can make money, any kind of movie can be made.

Recently, "Return" is about to go offline, with a box office of nearly 300 million, successfully breaking the total box office record of Chinese domestic literary films, and exceeding it by many others.

The domestic boutique film forum mentioned by Shu Xianyi before is also about to be held in the past few days, and it is said that someone has already asked a question-

Whether the times created "Return", or "Return" created a new era, can the success of a literary film represent that the Chinese film market has entered a diversified inflection point after nearly 5 years of expansion and commercial impact?
