How difficult is it for young people to gain recognition from the market?
For a student like Chen Xingchen, he could only take shortcuts, so he chose to make high imitations.
If you want to be recognized by the market, you must at least sell the high imitations in your hands, right? And you must sell them at a high price.
After walking out of the pottery museum, walking on the corridor, he took out a cricket jar from his convenience bag, held it in his hand and examined it carefully.
While looking at it, I exclaimed: "This craftsmanship is really good!"
Chen Wenzhe doesn't know how to make, but he can watch. After all, he has watched too many things in the ceramics museum in the past two years.
It has to be said that those who can study for a master's degree and a Ph.D. are not short of talent.
If you work hard enough, you will achieve something in the future, which is a sure thing.
Unfortunately, making a fine piece of ceramic requires not only talent, but also luck.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the color of this blue and white after painting and glazing is completely different from the color after firing.
Before firing, the pattern may be ugly, but after firing, it may be so beautiful that you can't take your eyes away.
On the contrary, maybe before firing, the pattern drawn with blue and white materials is beautiful, but after firing, it looks like a lump!
Looking at the cricket jar in his hand, he thought of Chen Xingchen's actions just now.
Chen Wenzhe understood a little bit. Was that guy just concentrating on being old?
However, Chen Xingchen’s distressing technique doesn’t seem to be very good!
Thinking like this, it seemed that a switch was triggered in his head, and countless information poured out, making Chen Wenzhe unable to digest it for a while.
"Classmate, are you okay? I see you have been standing here for more than ten minutes."
Just when Chen Wenzhe was still thinking about continuing to understand the newly acquired knowledge, a voice woke him up.
"Ah? It's okay. I just thought of something and was a little distracted!"
Chen Wenzhe walked out of the building quickly, but instead of going back to his dormitory, he went to the school supermarket.
Here, all kinds of consumables needed by students can be purchased.
Not only paint, canvas, clay, etc., but also various minerals, chemical raw materials, etc.
Some are used by the School of Comprehensive Materials, and many are materials used by ceramics, sculpture, glass printmaking and other disciplines.
Thinking and selecting, it took Chen Wenzhe more than an hour to find what he needed.
"To inherit civilization, shouldn't we directly teach the craftsmanship of firing ceramics? How can we reward distressing technology?"
"Does the system also know that I have no money? Is this asking me to earn a start-up capital first?"
"Well, this distressing technology doesn't seem to be very powerful. Can we only use firelight?"
Now think about it, when Chen Xingchen rubbed the cricket jar with a soft cloth just now, he was using chemical agents to wipe away the layer of light, or in other words, the fire on the outside of the cricket jar.
The popular explanation for glaze is: the dazzling glaze on the surface of new porcelain.
There are also people who call it "fire light" or "thief light", which are all the same thing.
With this layer of light, both novices and veterans can see at a glance how old the porcelain is.
Therefore, when making high imitations, it is not enough to just make exquisite porcelain, but also to make it old.
But just eliminating the thief light is not enough, you also need to apply paste.
The so-called patina is the soft and moist light that has been deposited over time on antiques.
This is the accumulation of time. It is easy to cheat, but it is difficult to do it naturally!
"How to apply the paste?"
Chen Wenzhe tentatively asked in his mind, but he didn't expect it to be really useful.
"Upgrade the basic distressing technique. The upgraded skills include: patina technique, water rust technique, soil rust technique, blood Qin technique, glaze technique, chicken claw pattern..."
Chen Wenzhe was speechless. The system he got was really not serious. It taught all deceptive and deceptive techniques!
Chen Wenzhe received too much knowledge today and received too much impact. Chen Wenzhe's head has become dizzy.
I had no choice but to hurry back to the dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Wenzhe fell asleep.
In a daze, Chen Wenzhe fell into a series of bizarre pictures.
What happened in this weird dream seemed like his own experience!
In this process, he learned a lot of knowledge, mainly about making things old.
The first step is to make it, and after finishing it, start concentrating on making it distressed!
The distressing of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, the distressing of gold, silver and bronze, and even the distressing of wooden furniture and wood carvings.
It can be said that as long as it can be used and sold for money, he has learned it all!
As for the basic manufacturing technique, he still hasn't fully learned it. It can only be said that the basic distressing technique he obtained is not simple!
“The first step in making it distressed is to make it, the second step is to remove the shine, and the third step is to apply patina!”
"This system is really not serious. It teaches only odd techniques, and every technique seems to be very useful!"
"Ah!" I don't know how long it took, but Chen Wenzhe suddenly sat up.
What happened in the dream just now? In the end, he was beaten to death with random sticks?
Chen Wenzhe was naturally very happy after learning a lot of skills. But just when he was overjoyed, a large group of people came over and beat him with sticks.
The feeling of the stick hitting his flesh was so clear, as if someone was really hitting him.
Chen Wenzhe woke up with a start and sat on the bed with a look of horror on his face!
Is this the rhythm of the liar's death? Or is it the liar's death?
Chen Wenzhe silently sorted out the information displayed by the system. Does this system have a bottom line?
Although the techniques it teaches are not serious, they are really useful.
"Learn the pulping technique!" Thinking of what he saw in his dream, Chen Wenzhe said tentatively.
"Need achievement points!"
"How to get achievement points?"
"Adopt quantitative rules and gain recognition from the world, and you will gain achievement points!"
Another message came, and Chen Wenzhe finally understood the rules of this system.
There is no money required for inheritance. You can learn skills directly through the system and need achievement points!
The so-called quantitative rule is to produce a work. The higher the selling price, the more achievement points will be obtained. The level of achievement points will be judged through the expression of value!
Learning the advanced skill - Baojian Specialization only requires ten achievement points, so it doesn't seem to be difficult.
However, he needs to sell his own works in order to obtain achievement points.
Chen Wenzhe: Basic distressing skills level one, achievement value (0);
Advanced skills that can be learned: patina technique, water rust technique, soil rust technique, blood Qin technique, glaze technique, chicken claw pattern...
Learning basic skills requires one achievement point, while specialized skills require ten achievement points.
"We have to find a way to get some achievement points!"
"Activate Novice Task 1: Complete a work, and the success reward will be worth one point!"
Complete a work? He only knows the basics of distressing now, just firing porcelain. Should he be asked to distress a piece of porcelain?
