What is brainwashing?

Bai Ye was a little speechless, which was clearly a probation...... Yu Chi himself is not strong-willed, and Tian Huangshi is a rare gem in Shoushan stone, the charm must not be said much, he has been infected, and it is normal to like it.

In the original time and space, many things were also widely known to the world through marketing methods, although some things were proved to be pure hype, with little or no value.

But there are also some things that can't fall once they are hyped up in the sky.

At the end of the day, it's quality that matters.

Chen Daqi saw it, and hurriedly said: "Bai Ye, didn't you come back with a bunch of stones, give me a few too, and I will also carve a few chapters." ”

"Good. ”

Bai Ye nodded, and added, "Do a good job of watching and send one to Professor Yu." ”

"Huh?"

When Yu Chi heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "You plan to use my dad as an advertising agent again?"

"No. ”

Bai Ye smiled and said, "I just think that Professor Yu should like such a good thing." Besides, isn't it his old man's birthday in a few days? We don't have much money to buy good things, so let's just give him a medal. Politeness is light and affectionate, and he shouldn't mind. ”

“……”

Yu Chi rolled his eyes and confirmed Bai Ye's calculations. To put it bluntly, it is to use his father as a promoter and give play to the celebrity effect.

"That's a good idea. ”

Chen Daqi's eyes lit up: "After reading your chain seal, I also have itchy hands!"

As he spoke, he immediately got up and ran to the studio. In a pile of Shoushan stones, it took a long time to select a piece and start pondering.

Next, it was his turn to forget sleep and eat and start creating.

However, the things he carved were not as complicated as Tian Huang's three-chain chapter. It was completed in two days at most, and it was a cup.

The three-inch high cup has a very retro shape, like an ancient one, and a pair of rings are hung on both sides, which is quite beautiful.

After the thing was completed, Chen Daqi also sighed: "The chain carving is really difficult, I just made a pair of buckles, and I felt that it was difficult, like walking on thin ice, I was afraid that my hands would shake and the rings would break." Thanks to you, you carved three chains, and it was successfully completed without the slightest mistake, which is really calm. ”

"Fluke. ”

Bai Ye was telling the truth, his original plan was to fail a few times, and he would succeed once.

"I want to get away with it too. ”

Chen Daqi pursed his lips, then frowned and looked at the cup, a little dissatisfied: "I don't know why, I always feel that my works are unsatisfactory." ”

The stone of the same quality is made into the form of a cup, and the quality is not bad, but compared with the Tianhuang three-chain chapter, it seems to have some less charm.

Chen Daqi is sure that this is definitely not a technical issue.

"It's a real thing. ”

Yu Chi looked at it seriously and agreed: "Modeling problem? or color?"

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Bai Ye smiled and said softly: "Some materials should also pay attention to fit, not that you can carve any shape." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Daqi was stunned for a moment, and then blinked: "You mean, this kind of Shoushan stone is not suitable for carving cups?"

"No, I mean, Shoushan stone is a natural seal stone. ”

Bai Ye directly picked it up and said: "The seal stone made of it is beautiful, and it is very suitable for treasure, appreciation, and other ornamental objects, but it is a little bit less meaningful." ”

"Hmmm......"

Yu Chi and Chen Daqi were stunned.

A natural seal stone!

For a moment, Yu Chi was ecstatic, and his voice trembled: "So what you actually fancy is its potential in this regard?"

"Don't you think?"

Bai Ye played with the Tianhuang three-chain seal lightly, and the printing surface was already engraved, and it was also coated with good cinnabar mud. On rice paper, press lightly. took turns three times, and two clear Zhu Wen and one Bai Wen suddenly came into everyone's eyes.

After the test printing, he gently hung the things on a special shelf, the chain buckle was suspended, the three chains hung down, the printing surface was light, and the cinnabar mud was naturally dry.

After doing all this, Bai Ye continued: "You must know that the seal originated from the pre-Qin period, starting with the official seal and then the private seal. ”

"The materials of the seal also changed from the initial metal casting, to the later jade, rhino horn, ivory, bamboo, clay pottery ......"

Bai Ye said slowly: "But it should be noted that although the seal carving has a long history, it has also flourished and declined with the development of the times. It arose in the pre-Qin period, flourished in the Han Dynasty, declined in the Jin Dynasty, was defeated in the Tang and Song dynasties, and was revived in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. ”

"Since the revival, it has been passed down to modern times, and it has not declined. The reason is very simple, that is, because before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, most of the seals and seal carvings were circulated in the yamen of the palace magnates, and they did not penetrate into the people at all. ”

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the painter Wang Mian discovered that the flower milk stone could be used in the seal, so that the stone became the ideal material for sealing, thus starting the second peak of seal carving art. ”

Bai Ye sighed: "Compared to things like gold, silver, tooth and horn jade, stones are undoubtedly cheap, as long as you have the heart to learn, you can find stone carvings at will." ”

"But there are thousands of kinds of stones in the world, and there are only a few varieties that really fit into India. After years of exploration and research, we have concluded that there are very few beautiful and practical printing stones. ”

Bai Ye looked around: "Shoushan Tian Huangshi, the texture is dense and delicate, warm and smooth, easy to carve into a seal, and has ornamentality, isn't it an excellent seal stone?"

"Makes sense. ”

Chen Daqi immediately nodded: "I think it can be done." ”

In the process of carving the cup, he personally verified the quality of the stone and knew that what Bai Ye said was the truth. He also felt that this kind of stone carved into ornaments, ornaments, and the like, did not mean that the quality was not good, but that compared with other jade, it was obviously not advantageous.

But on the other hand, if you make it a seal stone, it is very advantageous. It's easy to play the knife, and you can play it casually, leaving plenty of room to play.

In addition, although the seal has ornamental properties, it is not a real reward, and it is usually stored in a special box, and it will only be taken out when it needs to be used. It can be said that as long as it is carefully kept, it can be passed down for thousands of years and will not be corrupted.

With these two advantages alone, it is enough to be used as a seal stone.

What's more, Bai Ye is dedicated to promotion, and with his ability and network, it is impossible not to bring the fame of Shoushan Stone.

This means that this stone has plenty of upside and is worth the investment.

"I think I can, too. ”

Yu Chi's eyes flashed: "I have decided, this year's birthday of my father, I will hold a special event, and call my family's relatives and friends, as well as celebrities, including students and teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts, one of them counts." ”

"Yes, yes. Chen Daqi responded positively.

Yu Chi tilted his head and stretched out his hand: "So you guys, don't you plan to sponsor me for millions?"
