Chapter 233: Nine Dragons Play Pearls
This process, which is similar to the process of chiseling and polishing in the wood carving process, lasted until the afternoon... Multi-tasking. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info cleaned up the finer stone chips again, the general appearance of the whole work has appeared.
This is an ornament, Xie Bin himself named it "Nine Dragons Playing Pearls". Nine dragons naturally have nine dragons. Generally, in other works of art, there are two dragons playing with pearls, and there are also one dragon and one phoenix, but it is very rare for nine dragons to gather together.
Speaking of which, it is not unusual for nine dragons to gather together, it is nothing more than seven more than under normal circumstances, why spend 50,000 yuan to find Tan Rui for so long to design? Do you Xie Bin have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, or what does Tan Rui mean to save the country?
Naturally, things don't say that, one dragon and two dragons are nothing, I don't know how many art forms have appeared since ancient times, and there are countless places to learn from. But for each more dragon that appears, the difficulty increases by one point, and even more than a hundred times more in the end.
Why? A work of art is only about a form and a god, whether it is an image or a charm, the most taboo is repetition and complexity. If you draw a person very expressively and vividly, but if you draw two people who are exactly the same person on a painting, it will be a lot less; But if you don't just draw two, you draw nine identical people together at once, and it's not a work of art, it's a print.
Just like the Qingming Riverside Map, why is he so precious? In addition to being able to clearly reflect the social state at that time, what is more important is that there are so many characters and scenes on the same picture scroll, but there is no similarity, and each person and each scene has its own characteristics, which is the most rare.
The same is true of the "Nine Dragons Playing Pearl" designed by Xie Bin and Tan Rui, nine dragons gathered on this small piece of jade, which is not a simple matter in itself, and it also requires each dragon to have a different shape and demeanor, which is even more difficult. And the most rare thing is that these nine different dragons should be placed together in a harmonious and orderly manner.
Just like shaping the statue of the gods in the temple, whether it is Guanyin Arhat, or the Eight Immortals of the Three Qings of the Taoist Ancestors, they are all very Jing images, but if you want to put these gods in a temple, what kind of feeling will you think? Can it be put together? It's not impossible, it depends on how you design and how you place it.
When Xie Bin and Tan Rui were designing these nine dragons, they also struggled to design these nine dragons, which was much more difficult than placing a few great gods. Because the nine dragons require that each one cannot be ignored, each one must show its own characteristics, and the nine dragons must be able to complement each other and merge into a whole.
Especially considering the texture and characteristics of jadeite, a lot of intangible difficulties have been added to the design process.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after so many design modifications by Xie Bin and Tan Rui, they finally found the most suitable plan, that is, the image in front of them. However, it is only a semi-finished product, not a finished product, and ordinary people can't see the trick at all. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is nothing more than nine vague dragon-shaped jadeites entangled together.
If it's wood carving, the next step is sanding, and then carving details such as hair ornamentation; But this is a jade carving, and it should be polished under normal circumstances, and then it will be considered a finished product.
But not with Xie Bin, because the details have not yet been dealt with, such as dragon scales and dragon claws and other details. Ordinary jade carvers rarely carve dragon scales, and even if they do, they are only carved with a few pieces as symbols. But Xie Bin can do it more meticulously and more elegantly.
But this is also to be done after polishing, no way, if you do too much jingzhi and then polish, those details xing things will be thrown away together.
For this kind of complex shape, especially objects with more small holes, Xie Bin generally uses a machine to polish. It's not that Xie Bin is lazy, but because manual polishing can't do anything to such a complex object, even if it is reluctant, the effect is much worse than machine polishing.
As mentioned earlier, the effect of machine polishing is not worse than that of manual polishing, but it is less flexible than manual polishing. If it is a bracelet or an interface and a pendant of ordinary shape, it is nothing to polish by hand. But something too complicated, Xie Bin's abilities can't do anything, and he can only use high technology to do it.
Fortunately, there is another process after polishing, it doesn't matter whether it is polished by machine or by hand, it looks like the effect is almost the same, and even the effect made by the machine will be better.
After putting the objects into the polishing machine and setting the time with polishing powder, Xie Bin washed his hands and went upstairs.
Guoguo was doing her homework, and when she saw Xie Bin, she said crisply: "Brother, I left you food, put it in the refrigerator, and you can eat it hot." ”
Xie Bin's heart warmed, and he smiled: "I know, concentrate on doing your homework." "Human affection is like drinking water, and you know your own warmth and coldness. Some feelings don't need to be on your lips all day long, sometimes it's just a smile or a small gesture, or just a small thing.
The food made by fruit may not be very delicious, but it feels like home in your mouth. Looking at Guoguo's slightly thin body, Xie Bin smiled secretly, my family, I also have my family, I am no longer a loner.
Return to the basement, take out the polished object, and carefully ponder it against the drawings, and feel that there is no error, then put it at ease, this time may not fall short.
I wanted to continue to complete the rest of the steps, but I thought that if I continued, I would inevitably have to stay up late, although Guoguo was taken care of by Chen Minhan and others, but he didn't want to give up his family for work. When you are alone, you can stay up late and go one or two meals without eating, but now you can't, once or twice is nothing, but after a long time, it will hurt your family very much.
According to Xie Bin's grandfather's xingzi at that time, thinking that Xie Bin would be said to be a little family without ambition or something. But it's strange to say that Xie Bin was more or less influenced by his grandfather in other aspects, but in terms of attitude towards life, the two were even diametrically opposed.
The old man rarely knows how to care about life, and for his hobbies, he can even care where the next month's living expenses are, and he doesn't care much about Xie Bin, who is dependent on each other, and lets Xie Bin grow by himself.
But Xie Bin is completely different, he is still willing to live a better life, between his interests and work and his family, Xie Bin chooses the latter more. Maybe it's because Xie Bin has lacked love since he was a child?
Idle, Xie Bin took out a piece of black jade, cut it with a small cutting machine to make a brand, carved different words, inspirational nostalgia and landscape figures and other images, ready to be given as a gift, how aura does this thing give? It's not like those machine-milled brands. After all, it was all done by Xie Bin himself, and the value and meaning of this value are completely different.
didn't wait for Zou Xintong and them to come back in the evening, Chen Jianjun called, "Xie Bin, come to Ted Hotel, I'll treat you, bring your big and small women, haha, there is no one else today, it's still familiar to us, Miss Xue and Yu Fei's pair, well, that's all, let's not get drunk and don't return, be prepared not to go home." ”
Xie Bin smiled bitterly, it looks like he is really unsafe tonight, Chen Jianjun said this, he must be drinking to death. Well, the women are fine, but I don't know how much Jiang Guanghao can drink. Thinking of Jiang Guanghao, who looked like a student two years ago, it is estimated that the amount of alcohol is not much better.
However, Xie Bin is not afraid of drinking, although he doesn't know how much he can drink, but it is still no problem within two catties. Yesterday at the wedding, Xie Bin didn't stop Chen Jianjun from drinking, Xie Bin himself didn't remember how many glasses he drank, those people coaxed each other to have a full drink, and several grooms lay down early, so Xie Bin was fine.
called Zou Xintong and told them to go directly to the Ted Hotel after work, and then Xie Bin also took Guoguo over there.
Fang Weizhong was still the same, and he accompanied Chen Jianjun with a smile to wait for Xie Bin and them in the hotel lobby. Seeing Xie Bin's car stopped, he hurriedly ran to the door to welcome, and Chen Jianjun and Liu Mingna also came out.
"Hey, why just the two of you?" Chen Jianjun asked with a glare.
Xie Bin smiled: "Wait and come, we didn't go all the way," he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said Brother Heizi, why do you have to drink if you don't go on your honeymoon?" Sister-in-law has no opinion? ”
Chen Jianjun waved his hand, "What kind of honeymoon can you spend at this time?" The whole world is full of people from our country, what about going out and suffering? Wait until the long vacation is over, and then you can't find it if you want to find me, haha. ”
Chen Jianjun is right, with more and more visa-free countries now, during this long holiday, not only domestic attractions are overcrowded, but almost all interesting places in the world are also the same. It's really inappropriate to go out during the long vacation.
"What about Yu Fei and Xue Yuying? Not here yet? ”
"They probably have to wait, let's go and sit for a while," Chen Jianjun beckoned: "Yesterday was really busy and dizzy, you didn't eat well or drink well, you must drink enough today, I have asked the old party to arrange the room, the presidential suite." ”
What else can Xie Bin say, "Okay, but I guess you can't see when I'm drunk, hahaha, did you wake up from yesterday's wine?" ”
Chen Jianjun pouted, "Don't brag, who is afraid of anyone when drinking." That being said, Chen Jianjun's face was really a little pale, and he obviously didn't slow down. When he left last night, Chen Jianjun was still sober, but he must have drunk a lot of alcohol at night and at noon today, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
