Section 166 Another Kind of 'Food and Clothing' of Jade Carvers
"Hmm...... How can I run out of talent?"
Qin Huai shook his head, his eyes swept over the other jade materials one by one, and there were still a lot of ideas in his mind.
However, only Moyu was the only one who could not be creative.
That's kind of interesting.
The corners of Qin Huai's lips were slightly hooked, and he also knew that the subject matter of Moyu's jade carving was extremely restrictive, and there were almost no good themes to carve.
Generally speaking, the seed jade is regarded as a black stone stele, and a calligraphy work is engraved with a yin line on the surface of the stele, and finally the calligraphy Chinese characters are plated with a layer of gold.
In other words, it is to use the fine light and restrained black lacquer ink jade as the paper, the golden gold as the ink, the jade steel knife, the knife and the axe to cut out a calligraphy work.
Although it is somewhat interesting, there are countless similar works from ancient times to the present, and there is nothing new at all today.
It's just an old terrier.
Otherwise, it is to carve some black tigers and leopards.
These gameplay methods are not eye-catching, but can only be said to have a little literati interest.
But it was only the pleasure of the literati......
It is precisely because ink jade is difficult to carve and never produces fine products, so jade carvers rarely use black jade.
As a result, the price of black jade fluctuates greatly. Sometimes the price is very high, and sometimes the price of cabbage is not wanted.
Although Qin Huai did not have a desire to create this piece of ink jade, no matter how it was said, it was also a piece of superb ink jade......
If other jade carvers were allowed to carve it into a gold-plated statue, Qin Huai would be distressed to death.
Buy, buy, buy.
Isn't it money?
"I bought this piece of superb ink jade. β
Qin Huai's eyes were firm, and he took it into his pocket with a wave of his hand.
From then on, he Qin is also a person who collects the best Khotanese jade!
ββAlthough it is not the best mutton fat white jade, ancient books record: yellow as steamed chestnut, white as fat, black as pure lacquer, called jade charm.
It can be seen that the black black jade is also the best in the jade, and a small collection is still good.
Qin Huai thought so.
Seeing Qin Huai's bold movements, Boss Li was stunned for a moment.
In fact, he just casually sold it, but he didn't expect to agree so casually and freely, without even asking the price?
'Maybe this is the Guy!'
Boss Li knelt down, and he could sell 100 million yuan for a random carving work, and his mood was completely different from that of other jade carvers.
"Mr. Qin, the price of this piece of black jade ...... Up to four million. β
Boss Li hesitated and said, the price may be a little high, even if it is the best mutton fat white jade, it is almost two million more expensive.
"Yes. β
A piece of superb ink jade with a large volume, the price of four million can be described as very fair.
Hearing this, Boss Li breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the price would exceed Qin Huai's bottom line, but fortunately, Qin Huai's style of acting was always different from other jade carvers.
"Did Mr. Qin have any ideas?"
Boss Li asked curiously.
"This piece of black jade is so pure that if it has some green or white spots on it, I can also consider whether it carves a starry sky. β
Qin Huai shook his head.
And the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
The other jade carvers who heard Qin Huai's words were in an uproar.
With black jade as the vast starry sky, the pretty spots are skillfully carved into galaxies and planets. Unleash the vastness and mystery of the universe......
This idea is a starry sky theme that has never appeared in the industry!
The jade carvers present were all excited, and their eyes fell on the only remaining piece of black jade, and they couldn't suppress their ecstasy.
ββOver the years, the jade carving industry has almost fallen into a bottleneck.
Because the skill of jade carving has existed for too long, it has a history of 7,000 years from the current excavation of the Hongshan culture.
After 7,000 years of development, almost all the subjects that can be carved have been excavated.
The jade carvers copied Dunhuang, Yungang, Tang and Song poems, and the Dream of Red Mansions......
Up to now, jade carving has no subject matter and no content to carve, because all the ancients we can think of have thought about it.
Five hundred years ago, the ancients played with things, and now the jade carvers are still playing, flowers and plants, bamboo orchids and plum chrysanthemums, not only the jade carvers feel uncomfortable.
Even collectors are starting to get disgusted.
It's really boring to fry cold rice all the time.
However, creativity is hard to find, subject matter is hard to find, and in order to find a good idea, jade carvers often rack their brains and get no return.
And Qin Hezhou's idea about the starry sky just now is definitely a big category idea that is about to develop into a trend-
The black jade is used as the background of the starry sky, and the spots and colors are skillfully carved into nebulae and galaxies, so as to express the curiosity of cosmic exploration......
Cool!
It is completely different from the style of the small family ladies' literati in the Qing Dynasty, and they are very open-minded, and this kind of theme is actually a bit of a Tang Dynasty style.
Qin Hezhou is indeed Qin Hezhou, and a casual sentence is a golden and jade good word that makes jade carvers flock to it!
"Mr. Qin, can we use this idea of yours?"
A jade carver asked with apprehensive anticipation, his face flushed.
"Which idea?"
Qin Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"It's the idea you just said that the spots of black jade can be carved into the starry sky. β
"Oh...... Anyway, what kind of idea is that?"
Qin Huai asked incomprehensibly.
Looking up at the sky and casually thinking about it, I thought of it, it's just a sparse and ordinary idea, it's not creative at all, is it worth being excited to the point of red-facedness?
Qin Huai's voice fell, and the boiling atmosphere in the field suddenly fell silent.
It seemed that everyone was stepping on the oxygen tube on which they depended, and the feeling of suffocation came well.
Boss Li: "......"
More than a dozen jade carvers: "......"
Comrade Chen Duxiu, please stop showing off, it makes our scalp tingle.
In the contemporary era when themes such as bamboo chrysanthemum orchid plum, landscape restaurant, spring peach blossom and other themes are popular, the starry sky is skillfully carved with black jade and pretty colors, which is not called creativity?
Just thinking about it, I feel that this idea is very unique and unique.
This passage expanded a large type of jade carving, but Qin Hezhou didn't care.
Don't you like it?
Qin Hezhou abandoned it like a broom, but they regarded it as a treasure, isn't it a little embarrassing......
The jade carvers looked at each other.
'It's okay, it's okay. We are all 'lackeys under Qin Huai', what's wrong with picking up a creative idea?'
Thinking about it this way, the jade carvers were rightly emboldened.
- People are like this, if Qin Huai is only a little stronger than them, they may be jealous and gossip behind their backs.
But Qin Huai was a few floors stronger than them, and they only had to admire.
"Thank you Mr. Qin, even if we use this idea, it is not as good as Mr. Qin's work. β
More than a dozen jade carvers were excited with a little gratitude.
I have to say that Qin Huai has fed a group of jade carvers, from returning to people on a snowy night to the green jade Kui dragon pattern tea set, all of which can be imitated.
Now there is a starry sky theme again.
The jade carvers found that Qin Huai was a bit similar to another kind of food and clothing parent in the jade carving industry.
Whenever Qin Huai releases works, they can follow the trend and eat some meat!
Qin Huai waved his hand indifferently, and then walked around all kinds of windows.
However, the jade of fate can be met but not sought, and as far as today is concerned, the raw materials that make his eyes shine have not appeared.
He could only spend 13 million to buy some Gaobai mountain materials, green jade, and jasper materials.
After the payment was over, Qin Huai walked briskly to the Dongbei log market.
Nuclear carving, jade carving, stone carving, wood carving...... As the so-called ten thousand carvings do not leave their sects, Qin Huai is going to play with wood carving.
And next, Qin Huai wanted to buy some strange wood.
