"Do you believe it, do you think I believe it?" Wang Jianhua smiled, he was invited to participate in the Tiangong Award, but he didn't expect to meet Sun Xiaobao here, let alone say what he just said.

Sun Xiaobao shrugged: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"

"Then I'll wish you the Tiangong Award in advance!" Wang Jianhua laughed and walked to the side as he spoke. Although he was smiling, Sun Xiaobao could feel the disdain for him in his words.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony of the Tiangong Award was held, the leader of the Provincial Museum came to the stage to deliver the opening speech, and then the president of the Engraving Association came to the stage to deliver a speech, which was nothing more than some official words and carried forward the traditional culture, etc., which was particularly boring and boring, but this is the process of the opening ceremony of Huaxia.

After saying the official lines, Hao Yinghua, president of the Engraving Association, introduced the process of the Tiangong Award: "The Tiangong Award lasts for three days, and after three days, seven carving masters will select one of the 137 works to win the honor of this Tiangong Award, and the author of the Tiangong Award will not only receive a cash reward of three million, but also receive the honorary certificate of the carving master issued by the Engraving Association." ”

The reward of three million may be an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but it is nothing for some famous carvers, and the real attraction is the honor of the master carver. It may be that the same piece of work is worth 100,000 yuan carved by ordinary people, but if it is transferred by a master carver, then the price will be doubled, not to mention 100,000, and millions of people will buy it.

The opening ceremony lasted for more than half an hour, and those who came to visit only then entered the back of the exhibition area, there are more than 100 pieces of jade carvings in the exhibition area, each jade carving has a special display case, most of them are some character themes, the most is Guanyin, and the Buddha statue in the Buddhist gate, after all, these themes have always been very popular with the common people and collectors.

In addition, there are a few carvings on the theme of landscape painting, which fully integrate the color and concept of the jade itself, which looks particularly vivid.

When Sun Xiaobao and Kong Sheng came to the exhibition area, he clearly felt a hostile gaze looking at him, it was a young man in his thirties, I saw that he was about 1.8 meters tall, although he looked handsome, but those eyes made people feel gloomy.

"You're Sun Xiaobao, right?" the young man walked over with a gloomy face.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xiao Baoge's tone was flat, he didn't know why the young man was hostile to him, after all, he was an honest and responsible person, and he never provoked others.

The young man reported to his home: "My name is Yang Wei." ”

"And then?" Xiao Bao frowned slightly.

A trace of anger flashed in Yang Wei's eyes: "You took my place!"

"Oh!" Sun Xiaobao suddenly realized, and then said: "Your quota has been replaced by me, are you still so arrogant? This is not a glorious thing, right?"

Burst!

Kong Sheng on the side almost didn't laugh out loud, Sun Xiaobao is not only powerful, but even the ability to scare people is very unhurried!

"The surname Sun, let's see, I will definitely make you pay. Yang Wei viciously left a sentence and turned to leave.

"Hey!" After Yang Wei left, Sun Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is Brother Sun sighing?" Kong Sheng couldn't help but ask.

Sun Xiaobao said: "The reason why I don't want to replace other people's places is that I don't want to cause more trouble, which Cheng thought still aroused Yang Wei's hostility!"

Kong Sheng smiled and said: "Actually, it's not your fault, even if you don't replace him, others will replace his previous place, if you want to blame this Yang Wei is too small-bellied." Hey, that name sounds familiar!" he said, looking thoughtful.

Sun Xiaobao frowned: "Have you heard of him?"

Kong Sheng nodded, and his expression became serious: "Brother Sun, if you want to win the Tiangong Award, I guess it's a little difficult, if I'm not mistaken, Yang Wei should be Zhao Chengbin's proud protégé of Master Zhao, and this Zhao Chengbin is the vice president of the Engraving Association." ”

"Even if his master is the vice president of the Engraving Association, what can he do?" Sun Xiaobao's expression was flat, but he was a little depressed in his heart, he definitely wouldn't come to participate in the Tiangong Award after knowing Yang Wei's identity, not because he was afraid of the other party, but because he hated these intrigues.

Kong Sheng smiled bitterly: "You may not know, the selection of the Tiangong Award is extremely strict, seven carving masters must vote at the same time, and the opinions must be unified, if six of the seven people voted for you and the other voted for others, then you can't get the Tiangong Award, to put it bluntly, the Tiangong Award has a veto." As far as I know, Zhao Chengbin is a special calf protector, you replaced Yang Wei's quota to participate in the Tiangong Award, he will definitely exercise the right of veto!" Speaking of this, Kong Sheng showed a hint of apology on his face: "Actually, I am also to blame for this, blame me for not knowing Yang Wei's identity, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened!"

"Lao Kong, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself, after all, the quota has been full before, and it is not easy to find a quota in itself, who will inquire about the origin of the other party?" Sun Xiaobao said with a smile.

Kong Sheng barely smiled and didn't say anything, although he had connections in the provincial capital that others couldn't imagine, but the seven carving masters were not from the provincial city, this time they were just here to participate in the Tiangong Award, even if he had a relationship, it would not be useful.

didn't think about Yang Wei's matter, Sun Xiaobao and Kong Sheng visited those jade carvings in the exhibition hall, it is undeniable that many works are very good, although there is still a certain gap from Sun Xiaobao's eight horses, but they can also be too faced. Especially when he saw Huang Yuhua's work, he stopped in front of the white jade Guanyin, which was about half a meter high, although it was not carved from mutton fat jade, but it was also carved with fine white jade.

In fact, the best way to judge the statue is to open the face, the face is the most important step, it is obvious that Huang Yuhua has reached the point of perfection in this regard, the face of this Guanyin is extremely realistic, it looks peaceful, stepping on auspicious clouds, and looks extremely vivid. So much so that many people were amazed, and even many people took pictures with their cameras. Because anyone can see that this work has reached the peak level of Huang Yuhua, if it is sold, the price is estimated to be as high as tens of millions.

They were all people who loved jade carving, and since they couldn't own this masterpiece, they had to take pictures with their cameras for later enjoyment.

"Isn't my old man Huang Yuhua's brainless fan? Why isn't he here?" Sun Xiaobao looked around twice, but did not find Wang Jianhua's figure, when he saw Wang Jianhua standing in front of his eight horses and watching, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flush a shallow arc...
