Cui Dongqiang is a collector player, and after getting a set of Journey to the West carving kits last time, Cui Dongqiang thought about getting another set of carvings of Water Margin characters.

He contacted Cao Han last time, and the latter promised to send it to him in the next few days, and the price was negotiated, if it was still yew wood, 100,000 would be no problem. If it's ordinary wood, it's up to 60,000.

But for a few days, Cao Han didn't reply, Cui Dongqiang was a little anxious, he called and asked Cao Han what was going on.

Cao Han, who had just come out of Xi Qing's house and ate a closed door, was very unhappy, you kid thought you were more bullish, didn't you just carve a little harder?

The earth won't turn away from you, Yaya, and say goodbye to me, the house you live in is still my girlfriend's, we're getting married, I'll discuss with my future daughter-in-law right now and kick you out.

Just as he was about to enter the door, the phone rang, and when he saw that it was Boss Cui, Cao Han quickly answered the phone, and his tone became kind: "Ah, Boss Cui." “

"You still know me, didn't you say that you brought me the Water Margin carving components for the past two days, why haven't I seen you for a few days."

"Boss Cui, something is wrong, can you give me two more days?"

"What the hell is going on? Is it the price? Cui Dongqiang knew that Cao Han was thinking about raising the price in his heart, but the sincerity of this carving won the hearts of the people, Cui Dongqiang felt that as long as it was not excessive, it would be a little more.

"Boss Cui, it's not the price, what can I say. You see, if I don't find you a carver again, yes, this master won't do it. Cao Han said.

"No, it's absolutely not okay to change people, I pay this price because I like this master's carving skills. Xiao Cao, why don't I add another 10,000 or 70,000 yuan to you, this is a lot, as long as I carve the Water Margin for me, I will call you for 70,000 cents, this is always okay, right? “

The more Cui Dongqiang said this, the more money he gave, the more uncomfortable and painful Cao Han's heart became.

He really wanted to slap himself twice, and when he asked him to meow, he said that it would be good to give Xi Qing a little more, why are you so greedy. Give him 50,000 yuan, and he will earn 20,000 yuan for nothing.

Now, the daylilies are cold.

"Boss Cui, I'm sorry, this business really can't be done."

Cui Dongqiang was also very disappointed, but Cui also heard it, and now, the key difficulty may not be his own price. Rather, it was Cao Han who had a conflict with the master of carving.

70,000, Cao Han must be satisfied with this price, but it must be the carving of the Journey to the West, and the master of the family gets less, so he doesn't want to continue to cooperate with Cao Han.

Cui Dongqiang originally had no intention of going to this master by himself, but Cao Han couldn't do it, and he still dreamed of the Water Margin characters.

It seems that I really have to go out of the mountain by myself.

…

Under the incandescent lamp, Xi Qing is doing carving seriously, the engraving of the anime is a simplified version and an improved version of the character carving, to be honest, normal carving needs to be tested with clay first, pinching out the shape, step by step, and feeling it slowly. Xi Qing experienced it directly on wood.

The carving knife is used to intersperse the wood, and the thickness of the knife is used to express the difference between the folds of the clothes and the skin, while the hair and clothes of Lihua Song need to be dyed with the help of lacquer after carving.

Speaking of which, it is not easier to shape a hundred figures of the same character than to carve a hundred figures. Because these 100 changes need to be reflected by you through subtleties.

In addition to clothes, the main changes in hairstyles.

What Xi Qing has to do is to depict the changes in the character's demeanor.

In addition to the movement of the whole body and the movements of the limbs, the facial expression of this portrayal of the character is the most important.

It is also the main means by which the sculptor conveys various emotions to the viewer.

For example, in these 100 images, there are cute and cute times, and there are also solemn times, happy, contemplative, fantastic, angry, sad and other emotions are all in these cartoons.

And all these demeanors are expressed by the relaxation of facial muscles to affect the changes in the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and even nose.

This requires Xi Qing to use a carving knife to embody this complex and subtle change in the main parts.

Xi Qing laid the embryo shape well, and then went to shape the expression muscles of Lihua Song, frowning muscles, laughing muscles, zygomatic muscles, upper lip square muscles, nasal muscles, etc. These changes in demeanor make each image of Lihua have a different visual impact and beauty.

The folk use the words "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness" to summarize people's basic expressions, "If you want to laugh, the corners of your eyes are bent and your mouth is upturned;

If you want to be worried, the corners of your mouth are bent and your eyebrows are furrowed. ”

"Anger raises eyebrows, sorrowful eyes hang and eyes are gone,

The eyebrows are happy and pretty, and the eyes are open and narrow. ”

In the carving industry, Xi Qing has a very deep understanding of these mantras.

He put the expressions of Lihua in place one by one, and a hundred Lihua performances slowly surfaced.

After carving the hundreds of Lihua songs, it was late at night, and Xi Qing glanced at the old clock he was hanging, it was already more than two o'clock.

It's okay, it's okay, a hundred carvings, six hours to complete.

It's not a short time, but it's really not a long time for this huge project.

Xi Qing has some remaining finishing paint that has not been completed, but Xi Qing is not in a hurry, it will take a week to hand over the work, and the rest of the work will be done in ten minutes every night, which will not affect it at all.

After finishing the carving of Lihua, Xi Qing's next wave of work is the Water Margin character chapter.

Yes, although Xi Qing rejected Cao Han, he did not reject the idea.

Water Margin is a book that I also like, Water Margin is one of the four famous novels, the image of one hundred and eight heroes, and Xi Qing also likes it.

However, this popular work, the specific characters in it, Xi Qing didn't want to carve it so quickly, as a great work that has been organized, processed and created on the basis of the collective creation of the people for hundreds of years, Xi Qing wants to carve the characters inside.

Naturally, he also has to read this book carefully, analyze the stories, backs, encounters, and feelings of each character approaching Liangshan, and portray the images of these characters.

This requires the help of the original book, novels, including some film and television dramas, just like Lu Dalu Zhishen, in the original work, through Shi Jin's eyes, he is an officer, "born with a round face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, a beard on the cheeks, eight feet long, and a waist of ten girths".

Coupled with the roles in some film and television dramas, Xi Qing can roughly know Lu Zhishen's image, and then according to his character and the story in it, he can restore a rude, upright, and heroic Luda.

The carving of the Water Margin kit, not overnight, there is a Water Margin in Xi Qing's bookshelf, he totaled, if you have nothing to do these nights, just take a look at this book, taste it carefully, and then slowly carve it when the time comes.
