Section 357 Why are the excellent afraid of offending the mediocre?
"What was the main purpose of the meeting?"
Qin Huai asked.
He didn't know what to discuss.
"There is a question about the future direction of the jade carving industry. ”
Oh.
Qin Huai nodded, indicating that he understood.
After that, the style of painting gradually became handsome.
"Regarding jade carving, I will make a brief analogy.
A little lower.
It is the situation of modern jade carving.
As we all know, the price of Hetian seeds, white seeds, red skin and white flesh jade is increasing day by day, and even jade carvers may not be able to afford to buy them.
Many jade carvers want to find a different way and choose carvings such as green jade, black jade, and jasper.
However, the public recognition of these new jade species and new materials is far less high than that of Hetian seeds, so the market demand is very small.
The demand is small, and jade carvers do not dare to use these jade materials for carving.
Thereupon.
Every jade carver went after Hetian jade.
I've tried carving green jade and black jade, and the results are good, but one person can't change the overall situation.
For the new jade material, countless jade carvers need to work together to change the public's perception of green jade, black jade and jasper. I hope you will pay more attention to the new jade material.
My green jade works were sold for 100 million yuan at the auction house, and ninety percent of the mutton fat white jade carvings were not as high as me.
So you see, these new jade species actually have extremely high potential. ”
Qin Huai talked about it. When it comes to speaking, it gives people a sense of purity, fresh and handsome, elegant and casual, which makes people feel emotional.
The jade carving craftsmen in the audience nodded in agreement.
Qin Hezhou's words are always so penetrating!
……
The potential of green jade is obvious to all.
Qin Hezhou only used a small amount of green jade, and with ingenuity and craftsmanship, the value jumped to a thousand times, and the inferior jade with cotton wool was carved out of the wind and snow and returned to the people, and sold for more than 10 million.
These have given confidence to peers.
So the influence of a big guy lies in this.
If in the past, others said that inferior cotton wool jade can make money and have good ideas, it will definitely be despised.
And now, many jade carvers are willing to try new jade species, hoping to replicate the myth of Qin Hezhou.
Invisibly.
Qin Huai has changed a lot.
However, Qin Huai still needs to mention it again, because the innovation is still not high!!
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
"The second point.
Times are always moving forward, and so is the aesthetics of consumers.
The jade carving market today is certainly different from the jade carving market hundreds of years ago. The aesthetics of consumers have been qualitatively improved, and elegance and vulgarity have been raised and lowered.
Consumer aesthetics have improved.
However, some of our jade carvers have never improved themselves, and their works have stayed in the past in terms of aesthetics, creativity, subject matter, etc., and have not made the slightest change, so they cannot satisfy consumers.
We need to always remember that consumers only vote with their money!!!
If your work doesn't make them feel pleasing to the eye, then if you blow it up to the sky, consumers won't pay for it.
Only by appreciating the elegance and vulgarity, keeping pace with the times, and constantly improving their aesthetics and skills, can we avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to sell.
Of course, it's best if you can rely on your own judgment to accurately grasp the aesthetics. ”
Qin Huai put his hand on his waist, analyzed it carefully, and elaborated word by word.
There was no preparation in advance.
There are no drafts.
The analysis is based on personal understanding, but it seems very organized. Step by step, the two most difficult problems in the jade carving circle are analyzed.
The second problem is not only the problem of the jade carving circle, but also the problem in the entire traditional industry.
The jade carving craftsmen in the audience nodded again and again, agreeing with Qin Hezhou's words ten thousand.
This kind of thing may have been said by others.
But it is easier to be convincing when it comes out of the mouth of Qin Hezhou.
After all, even if a celebrity says chicken soup, it will become a famous saying.
"Poor is changing, change is passing, general is long, any industry needs to be constantly changing, improving, in order to be invincible.
Today's jade carving market is indeed sluggish, and many jade carving studios have closed down, but there is no need to be sad, this is a normal elimination.
I want to get a foothold in traditional handicrafts.
Virtuosity is the first threshold.
There's a word for a craftsman.
Skilled workers are the first stage, which refers to skilled craftsmen, and when they reach this stage, they can eat and drink without worry.
Artisan is the second stage, which refers to a thoughtful and creative craftsman. At this stage, he is already a famous teacher.
Therefore, everyone should be more confident and drill a little more. Polishing skills, accumulating experience, and reaching a certain realm, you will not worry about the market. ”
Qin Huai stepped down from the stage and sat in the vacant seat reserved for him in the front row.
The applause was thunderous, and many young craftsmen were inspired by Qin Hezhou's words.
It is undoubtedly extremely exciting for such a living myth to give them chicken blood.
Of course.
There are also some jade carvers with outdated concepts who have no feeling for Qin Huai.
Qin Huai's own contribution to the jade carving world is extremely positive, but his apprentice Lin Li is different!
Going against these jade carvers everywhere and forcing them to be very embarrassed.
What's more, Qin Huai once protected Lin Li once, causing many jade carvers to look cold and even grit their teeth with hatred.
But these jade carvers gritted their teeth with hatred, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Qin Hezhou was too powerful, and there were many supporters, they didn't dare to touch the stone with eggs.
Not only did he not dare to touch the stone with the egg, but he also had to cooperate with the applause and force a smile.
No way.
Qin Hezhou is too strong.
Lin Li and they can still bully two sentences, but Qin Hezhou ...... Let's not say a word......
Next.
Qin Huai sat down and listened to the content of the meeting.
He found the controversy to be very numerous.
And the first to bear the brunt is Lin Li's jade carving group.
For a time, the debate between the innovative and conservative schools became the focus.
Qin Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise, his apprentice can, he has attracted so much hatred, it seems that the carving process has robbed many jade carvers of their jobs.
Blocking people's money, such as killing parents, it's no wonder that Lin Li can't pull hatred.
But.
Lin Li, as a firepower concentration area for verbal and written attacks, is very calm, and at this point, Lin Li thinks that he is becoming more and more like a master.
There is no insult to the teacher!!
Lin Li smiled and stood up.
Everyone was amazed.
How?
Lin Li actually has something to say in this situation?
"Say hello to Master first. ”
Lin Li bowed respectfully at Qin Huai, no matter what, Master was the existence he respected the most.
Qin Huai bowed slightly.
"Is an oracle bone engraved incense burner launched by our Jiangling Jade Carving Group creative?
Among the jade carvers who are here to mock me, who has a work that is more famous than the one designed by me and Jiang Ran?
Who has the highest sales of this jade?
I'm afraid that your jade bracelet and jade Buddha are not as good as my oracle bone jade incense burner!!
With all due respect, you jade carvers who jumped up and mocked me are rubbish.
When you criticize others, don't pee to see how many pounds and taels you have!"
Lin Li was very arrogant, sneering and sneering.
"My master also said that the jade carving creativity of our jade carving group is good, and at the same time, our jade sales are high in a few days, our craftsmen have more than five years of carving, and our polishing process uses veteran craftsmen who have retired for more than ten years.
Our jade prices are high, but almost all of them are positive, and the jade is on sale in the eye-catching season, and it is booked by collectors early. Every aspect of our collective is impeccable.
My master said that in the jade carving circle, only rely on the work and strength to speak, and everything else is empty.
My master also said that if a person is nameless, bow his head and practice the sword. Unknown mockers, I would like to advise you that it is better to go home and devote yourself to studying your skills. ”
Lin Li is as if he has nothing to do, like a leisurely stroll, and now he is getting stronger and stronger, and his self-confidence is increasing day by day.
Meantime.
I learned the master's no-nonsense and arrogance to the fullest.
But.
The master is as gentle as jade, but he is more direct.
Like him, who has been beaten for three years, he can grit his teeth, but he doesn't have a strong temper with a carving knife.
Of course, it should be more sharp.
Qin Huai was dumbfounded.
Vision.
It reminded Qin Huai of Lin Li's stubborn appearance when Mr. Xu was 80th birthday.
Pretty good.
Those who are excellent, why are they afraid of offending mediocre people?
