Chapter 10 The craftsmanship is not bad
Squeak, squeak......
This movement sounds like a dog scratching the door, and in other words, it is Zhu Bajie gnawing on the casserole, which is all disturbing.
The newspaper in Lao Zhang's hand hadn't been turned over for a long time, and the cigarette in his mouth was about to burn his mouth.
My eyelids couldn't stop jumping, and I felt like I was on the verge of collapse.
Finally......
"Xiao Gu, what are you doing here?"
Gu Bei, who was engrossed, heard someone talking, and the carving knife in his hand did not stop until the last cut.
When I looked up, I saw Lao Zhang frowning, his face full of impatience, and he realized that the movement just now was really annoying.
"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry!"
Seeing Gu Bei apologize, Lao Zhang didn't want to say anything, he was just curious.
As soon as I got to work today, Gu Bei was writing and painting there, and then he began to carve stones for a full three hours, as if he was going to grow on a chair.
"It's been the morning, what are you busy with?"
Lao Zhang stood up as he spoke, walked to Gu Bei's side, and first looked at the painting on the table, and knew what the painting was without asking.
He is also from the Taili art group, and portrait painting is not difficult for him at all.
"Yo! Sun Wukong, this is Zhu Bajie......"
Picking up the two pieces of paper on the table, he frowned again as he spoke.
"Xiao Gu, what did you draw...... How can it be different from what you usually see! ”
Gu Bei took the initiative to hand over the remaining two.
"Brother Zhang, you are an expert, help me take a look."
Lao Zhang nodded, and looked at it carefully for a long time, in the story of Journey to the West, the characters of the four masters and apprentices are not unusual, there have been cartoons before, and they often appear on the opera stage.
It's just that these pictures painted by Gu Bei are obviously far from people's general impression in terms of style.
"Your group is already preparing to style the characters?"
Lao Zhang also received a notice yesterday that he was assigned to the preparatory team of "Dream of Red Mansions", but as an artist, he has not yet received the task.
The chief director Wang Fulin is going to take a year off work to study, and the screenwriter Zhou Lei in the station is studying the adaptation of the original book with Zhou Ling, a red expert who was transferred from abroad.
The difficulty of the work is not ordinary, "Journey to the West" has finally been written, but "Dream of Red Mansions" is a bad ending.
It's still early for the character makeup to be set.
Speaking of this, it should be really depressing.
is also a preparatory team for the adaptation of famous novels, "Journey to the West" is not fully staffed, what about "Dream of Red Mansions"?
The start of construction has not yet been decided, but as a result, each department has already begun to take the lead in the construction.
The art group alone is divided into three departments: costumes, makeup, and props.
Perhaps from the very beginning, the leaders of Taiwan did not expect much from "Journey to the West", but it was only because CCTV introduced the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" and was scolded by the people of the whole country, so "Journey to the West" was also put on the agenda by the way.
How?
It's completely free-range mode.
"Not yet, Director Yang didn't assign work, I'll prepare first."
Lao Zhang smiled: "You are quite positive." ”
The attitude of the two towards work is obviously different, Lao Zhang only takes a turn after taking a breath, and Gu Bei gives full play to his subjective kinetic energy.
The leader doesn't say it, but does what should be done.
"If you follow this to set the look, will the audience accept it?"
Gu Bei's four portraits of the scripture study group focus on realism, especially the two core characters of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
In people's impressions, Sun Wukong is all about hooking his face, and Zhu Bajie has a long mouth and big ears.
But it's under Gu Bei's pen......
"Brother Zhang! You just said that what you usually see and have impressions is basically on the opera stage, and the characters in the cartoon are also created with reference to the appearance of the opera characters, but what we are going to shoot next is a TV series. ”
"What's the difference?"
"It's very different, Director Yang has decided yesterday, we are not filming this scene in the studio, we have to shoot outside, you think, real mountains and real waters, suddenly a monkey with a hooked face popped up, is that a match?"
Lao Zhang thought about it carefully according to what Gu Bei said, and then nodded: "It's really inappropriate, if you say so, the character image should really focus on realism." ”
After speaking, he opened the drawer, took out a few pieces of manuscript paper and handed them to Gu Bei.
"Give it to you, I won't be ugly."
What do you mean?
Gu Bei took a look and found that Lao Zhang gave him the same four pieces of paper, which were also painted portraits of the scripture learning group, but these four pictures were basically directly based on the characters on the Peking Opera stage.
"Yesterday, Mr. Wang Chongqiu looked for me, not only me, but also other artists in the stage, let us draw a picture of the four masters and apprentices, this is mine, but ...... There's no need for it, I'll give it to you! ”
Lao Zhang said, looking at Gu Bei's eyes became different, yesterday he just regarded Gu Bei as a newcomer little brother, but today he really regards Gu Bei as a colleague.
"In the end, I am a young man, with an active mind, many ideas, and the most important thing is that I am bold, not sticking to the original rules and regulations, and daring to jump out and re-create, compared with you, I feel old."
Lao Zhang is only in his thirties this year, less than forty, I am afraid that even he did not expect that he would make this sigh.
Gu Bei was just about to speak, but was stopped by Lao Zhang again.
"I just saw you sitting there for a moment, what? Seal? ”
"Whatever you carve and play."
Gu Bei handed over a seal that had just been carved, large and small seals, and there were still six on the desk.
Lao Zhang stretched out his hand to take it, he didn't pay much attention to it, first of all, the materials were very ordinary, I don't know which flower bed Gu Bei picked it up, but after looking at the words engraved at the bottom of the seal, he was immediately attracted.
"Yo! Xiao Gu, yes, it's okay, it's also a small seal. ”
Although Lao Zhang's education is not high, his education level is not low.
"Juran? Giant Monk! ”
"That's right."
Lao Zhang frowned and was puzzled: "Xiao Gu, what are you carving this for?" It is illegal to engrave a seal privately. ”
Gu Beizheng was holding a teacup, and almost splashed a cup of hot tea on his face when he heard the words: "Brother Zhang, don't scare me, the Juran monks have been dead for hundreds of years, I haven't heard of it, and it is illegal to engrave the seals of the ancients." ”
Although he said this, when he thought about it, what he was going to do now seemed to be really ......
At least the conscience of the foreigner will not be condemned.
Gu Bei comforted himself.
"That's right, the craftsmanship is not bad."
Lao Zhang also felt that he was overly worried, and he really hadn't heard of breaking the law and committing crimes with the seal of the ancients hundreds of years ago.
I have to say that people in this era are very simple, and no one could have expected what Gu Bei was going to do.
"Do you have any useless material? If you have one, engrave one for me, too. ”
Gu Bei took the seal back, and put all the unused stones in front of Lao Zhang.
"You pick it yourself, tell me which one you like, and I'll have time to engrave it for you."
Lao Zhang didn't expect Gu Bei to agree so happily, speaking of which, the two only met yesterday, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Not bothersome, right? You've just joined the group, so you're still worried about work, I'm ...... Not busy. ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked at the stones, he really guessed correctly, these stones were really picked up by Gu Beilin in the flower bed in the middle courtyard before he went out.
After looking at it for a while, none of it could catch the eye.
"Xiao Gu, I have a piece of Qingtian stone seed material at home, I'll bring it when I get back, you ......"
Halfway through the words, Lao Zhang felt a little reckless, that piece of seed material was his beloved thing, and he had been reluctant to use the knife for many years, for fear of destroying the material.
What's going on today?
I can actually trust Gu Bei such a young man.
Gu Bei also saw it, and when he heard that it was Qingtian Stone, he also felt quite surprised, Qingtian Stone couldn't say how rare it was, but if anyone had a piece of good quality, he wouldn't show it easily.
Seeing the entanglement on Lao Zhang's face, Gu Bei said understandingly: "Brother Zhang, you can spare me, I don't dare to start easily, so let's wait for you to find other materials, and then we'll talk about it." ”
"Oh! Good, good! ”
Lao Zhang got off the donkey and didn't mention it again.
I wanted to see the other seals carved by Gu Bei, but I saw that Gu Bei had already put them away.
That is actually a monk's seal, let Lao Zhang see it, and the other few are a little prickly, if you show it easily, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.
Carving the seal of the monk can still be said to be playing, but what is the meaning of "the treasure of Qianlong's imperial view"?
Several other seals are also used in calligraphy and painting, if you want to say that Gu Bei didn't plan to do anything bad, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
But if there is another way, Gu Bei will not bring this kind of thing to the unit to do, there are many people in the compound, and no one can hide what is going on.
What's more, the family can't pass this level, although the room where Gu Bei lives, although there is also a door, it is the same as nothing, everyone pushes the door and enters.
Personal privacy, private space?
You can't talk about this kind of thing with your parents.
What privacy?
You little bunny cub was born to me, and that piece of your body is considered private, so I'll cut it off for you.
Alas......
See how hard it is to have a career.
"Xiao Gu, there's a meeting on the third floor!"
Feeling Lao Zhang's gaze glancing towards the drawer one by one, Gu Beizheng didn't know how to explain it, but fortunately Peng Li relieved him.
"Teacher Peng! Coming soon! ”
Gu Bei said, and locked the drawer without a trace, this lock was bought on the way to work.
Just in case.
What he's doing now is really shady.
Fortunately, he was reborn, otherwise, if the old man knew, he would have to break his arm.
The craft of doing old is passed on by the old man, but the old man has said first, you can't do this kind of thing to be old, there is a first time and a second time, and you have done a lot, and the greed in your heart can't be suppressed at all, and sooner or later you will destroy yourself.
In his previous life, Gu Bei firmly remembered the old man's words and never relied on this craft to make money.
Can ...... now
The wind is about to blow, Gu Bei wants to be a pig standing in the wind, but he has no capital in his hand, and he is afraid that he is not even qualified to be a pig.
Besides, can being a foreigner be counted as a bad thing?
Gu Bei really found an impeccable reason for himself.
"Brother Zhang! Let's go. ”
After saying hello, Gu Bei picked up the sketch and went out, went upstairs all the way, and pushed open the door of the conference room, it was still the same people I saw yesterday, and Director Yang Jie hadn't arrived yet.
And who is that old lady?
Look at the face.
