Chapter 256 Master Rank

The twelve-meter-high jade stone is the second only king of jade stone.

Some people may think that 12 meters is not high, so... In other words, 12 meters is almost as high as the fifth layer building.

This is the real giant jade carving.

Lu Li is very interested in this jade stone, and has made up his mind, must personally carve this giant jade stone.

Since Liaodong Province is going to build such a jade carving, Lu Li, as a famous jade carving master, will definitely invite Lu Li from Liaodong Province.

According to Mr. Jiang's news, this jade carving will be officially approved next year, so don't worry now, let's make the jade carving of the king of Nepal first!

Lu Li continued to hone his skills step by step while waiting for news from Shen Menglin.

A week later, Shen Menglin came to the capital from Nanyang. In the courtyard of Wangfujing, Lu Li received Shen Menglin.

"Master Lu, I have already negotiated with the King of Nepal."

Shen Menglin took out a stack of documents and handed it to Lu Li, "Master Lu, the King of Nepal's Jade carving... The conditions are a little different. He himself provided a jade stone for you to create."

"Thank you for your hard work!" once again.

The document has stated that the king of Nepal himself provided a jade stone of about two meters, hired Lu Li to create and process it, and paid 50 million US dollars for labor.

Lu Li doesn't care about the money, but... the jade stone provided by the king of Nepal is a bit scum.

Reaching out to pick up the jade stone photo, Lu Li frowned, "This jade stone...the real jade is only half of it, and it's not coherent, it's scattered in groups."

p>

"No way!"

Shen Menglin smiled and looked at the head, "Nipah is a small country after all, and the king doesn't have much money, so he can only make do with this material. Master Lu, Can you do it?"

"It can be done."

Lu Li pondered for a while, then said: "The non-jade part, the gray stone texture, must be To find another way, the only way is to use gold inlaid jade."

"Gold inlaid jade?"

Shen Menglin said with a smile: "Master Lu is really brilliant, so I will I know you have a solution."

"Let's go and see jade stone first!"

Lu Li glanced at Shen Menglin and said, "Book a plane ticket! I'll go tomorrow! Nepal."

"Okay!"

Shen Menglin hurriedly agreed.

On the second day, Lu Li and Shen Menglin made a special trip to Nepal.

Came to Nepal and met the king of Nepal. Lu Li immediately went to see the jade stone.

The real thing is exactly the same as the photo. There are lumps of jade stone mixed in a large piece of gray stone.

Overall, this jade stone is not small. However, the quality of jade is incoherent. In essence, it can only be regarded as a small jade stone mixed with a piece of stone.

It is really difficult to make this "stone" into a beautiful jade carving.

Exactly, I like difficult ones!

After Lu Li checked it out, he immediately confirmed: start work!

First, I made the modeling composition on the computer. In addition to the jade carving structure, Lu Li also used the technique of gold inlaid jade to beautify the stone texture between the jade stones with yellow golden mark decorations.

This jade carving, Lu Li made a statue of Thousand Hand Goddess of Mercy.

The ingenious combination of jade and stone, coupled with the gold-inlaid jade ornamentation, makes this piece look magnificent, perfectly concealing the flaws of the stone's texture.

When the King of Nepal saw this rendering, his eyes almost fell out.

Such a piece of "giant jade stone" really makes a wonderful jade carving treasure?

Master Lu, sure enough, name is not in vain!

Lu Li paid no attention to the praise of the king of Nepal.

The design has been confirmed, and Lu Li will start working immediately.

This time jade carving, compared to the jade carvings that Lu Li has done before, is more test of operation.

Because the texture of jade is different from that of stone, when cutting, the strength also needs to be accurately grasped, accidentally, it may cause the jade stone to crack.

It took Lu Li more work and more time to carve this jade stone.

It took Lu Li more than two months from design to production. During the manufacturing process, Lu Li's carving skills are also constantly improving.

When Lu Li inscribed his name on the bottom of the Thousand Hand Goddess of Mercy jade carving, Lu Li felt as happy as he had overcome a problem.

Innumerable thoughts flooded into my mind.

From the identification of cultural relics, I learned various ancient jade carving techniques, Han Ba Dao, Kunwu Dao... Various techniques have been integrated into Lu Li's mind and turned into Lu Li's own skills.

Since learning to sculpt, all the process of practicing sculpting and all the experiences of practicing sculpting have emerged in Lu Li's mind one after another.

All kinds of skills, all kinds of experiences, all kinds of perceptions, like a vortex, spinning like a vortex, extracting its true meaning!

Exactly! Calm down! Swift! Simply neat! Open and close!

Clearing comprehension's own skills and refining his own techniques, Lu Li finally summed up his own style of carving techniques.

This technique can be called... a chisel!

A technique like cutting gold and cutting jade is a chisel!

At this moment, on the character panel, the engraving skills bloomed brightly.

"Skill: Sculpting (Master)!"

Finally breakthrough!

After this time of jade carving creation, Lu Li's carving skills were the first to be promoted to Master Rank.

At this moment, Lu Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Master! True Master!

...

On the second day, the King of Nepal held a grand press conference to showcase Lu Li's new work "Thousand Hand Goddess of Mercy" in public.

At the press conference, the overjoyed King of Nebo was full of praise for Lu Li's skills and declared in public that this Thousand Hand Goddess of Mercy was the national treasure of Nebo.

Lu Li already not in sympathy for this accolade.

The engraving skill has been promoted to Master Rank. From Lu Li's current point of view, this Thousand Hand Goddess of Mercy still has many shortcomings.

The jade carvings of the kings of Nepal are nothing more than a work of practice that Lu Li used to hone his skills.

Lu Li didn't care, but the news media hyped it up again.

“The famous jade carving master in my country, the young artist Lu Li, has once again created a national treasure-level art treasure.”

“The king of Nepal praised: Master Lu Li is a national master! ”

This is the second time that Lu Li has created a national treasure-level work, and Lu Li’s reputation in Nanyang has reached a new height.

In China, Lu Li's second national treasure-level art treasure officially established Lu Li's dominance in the jade carving industry.

In the entire jade carving industry, only Lu Li has created two national treasures of art treasures. Such an honor, unique and unmatched.

So...before Lu Li could return to China, the Liaodong Prefect of Liaodong Province called.

"Master Lu, congratulations. You have created another national treasure-level art treasure. Your artistic achievements are amazing!"

The prefect of Liaodong first complimented Lu Li said, "Master Lu, we are in Liaodong Province, we are planning to build a Xiuyan jade stone cultural city, and would like to invite you to create a large-scale jade sculpture. Do you have time?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Li's face.

In those years, when Xichuan Provincial Government built the cultural center, it still needed to surmount all difficulties in order to be selected.

Nowadays, there is no competition for the jade stone cultural city project in Liaodong Province. The prefect of Liaodong sent an invitation directly and asked Lu Li if he had time.

This is the status of the rivers and lakes!

In the jade carving industry, the jade carving masters of the generation of Old Master Li have become old men, and they cannot handle such large-scale jade carving projects by themselves. pieces.

Apart from these Old Seniors, there's not a single one who can fight.

Draw your sword and look around, I'm invincible in the whole world!

Master Rank's carving skills have made Lu Li a pinnacle in the jade carving industry!

"Thank you for your invitation, I'm honored to be able to contribute to this!"

Lu Li replied sincerely: "I will try my best to create the best works! "

"Very good!"

The prefect of Liaodong was very happy, "Master Lu, it is very good for you to accept our invitation. It's just..."

Speaking of this, the Governor of Liaodong hesitated for a while, "You know, our funds are not particularly sufficient, and we may not be able to pay your high labor costs."

Lu Li to Siam Imperial Family For the production of the Emerald Buddha, the Siam Imperial Family paid US$500 million. Made Thousand Hand Goddess of Mercy for the King of Nepal, with a labor fee of 50 million US dollars.

According to this standard, Master Lu's creative labor costs are at least hundreds of millions of renminbi.

It is a bit exaggerated in China to spend 100 million or even hundreds of millions of labor costs.

Especially in government departments, the use of labor fees is more sensitive, which can easily lead to some misunderstandings by some people who do not understand the complete truth.

For example: Corruption/corruption! Corrupt/corrupt! There are bound to be all kinds of doubts. In order to avoid this kind of trouble, the Liaodong provincial government must not offer too high labor fees.

"No labor fee!"

Lu Li said with a smile:"I made this large jade carving work for the Liaodong provincial government for free, no labor fee!"

"Ah?"

The prefect of Liaodong was shocked, "Master Lu, you...you...you are so glorious! Thank you for your dedication to Liaodong Province and the people of Liaodong. Your spirit of selfless dedication. , admirable! Thank you! Thank you!"

"This is what I should do!"

Lu Li replied with a smile.

In fact, by now, Lu Li's jade carving is already Master Rank. The other three skills can also be promoted to Master Rank soon.

The story of this craft master is coming to an end.

The plot is coming to an end, what do you need money for? Anyway, you can't take it back, it's better to be free, and it can be highly praised.

"Master Lu, when will you return to China? I would like to invite you to visit Liaodong."

The prefect of Liaodong sent an invitation to Lu Li for a field visit.

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow." Lu Li replied with a smile.

"Okay! Master Lu, I'll pick you up in the capital tomorrow."

After talking about business, they chatted for a while, and the call between the two ended.

Second day, Lu Li returned to Beijing. The prefect of Liaodong personally went to the airport to greet Lu Li.

Lu Li went to Xiuyan, Liaodong together with the prefect of Liaodong without stopping, to inspect the environment on the spot, and saw the huge jade stone with a height of 12 meters with his own eyes.

This is the biggest jade stone Lu Li has ever seen.

The texture of this jade stone is very uniform, there is no top material, and there is not too much leftover material, it is all medium jade material, the hardness is moderate, although there are many kinds of colors, on the whole it is Green, with a small proportion of other colors.

This piece of material is really a natural piece of jade carving material!

After seeing it on the spot, Lu Li has already made up his mind.

Then, Liaodong provincial government held a grand press conference.

At the press conference, the Liaodong prefect announced that Master Lu Li saved hundreds of millions of labor fees and created a 12-meter-high giant jade sculpture for the Liaodong provincial government for free.

Faced with countless flashes and cameras, Lu Li smiled and shook hands with the prefect of Liaodong. The prefect of Liaodong praised Lu Li's high-spirited and selfless dedication.

Lu Li said: The highest pursuit of an artist has never been economic interests, and the greatest gain is that his works can be liked by people.

After the press conference, Lu Li once again name shakes the whole world.

"Fuck! Hundreds of millions of labor fees, just don't need it?"

"Lu Li has already made a lot of money, and naturally he has the capital to put on a high profile. It's not fair."

"It's unfair to say that upstairs. Lu Li made money. But he made money from foreigners. Besides, there is no direct connection between money and dedication. You can't deny other people's risks just because you have money."

"He's just playing lemon. Don't you understand?"

"Master Lu, worthy of being a Master . Virtuous demeanor, admirable!"

The two national treasures, coupled with the free jade carvings created for Liaodong, made Lu Li's Master status completely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and accepted and recognized by everyone.

"Players get a special badge: Master style (E) (honor × 20)."

"Your virtue style is admired by countless people."

After the press conference of the Liaodong provincial government, Lu Li returned to the capital.

This 12-meter-tall giant jade sculpture will not officially start construction until next year. Lu Li is not in a hurry to make jade carving designs anymore.

Calligraphy, painting and sculpture have not yet been officially promoted to Master Rank, and they still need to work harder.

When creating the Golden Inlaid Jade Thousand Hand Goddess of Mercy of the King of Nepal, Lu Li had another gain in addition to his engraving skills being promoted to Master.

That is the technique of gold inlaying jade, which also drives the improvement of sculpture skills. The manufacture of gold and silver utensils is essentially a sculptural technique.

In the following period, Lu Li not only researched how to create a new typeface and summarized his own painting techniques, but also designed and manufactured gold jewelry.

Liu mother once gave Lu Li two pieces of suet jade and asked Lu Li to make a pair of rings.

Lu Li never started. When the sculpture skill was promoted to Master Rank, must make this pair of rings.

Time goes by day by day.

Lu Li everyday all is practicing calligraphy, painting, and making gold and silver jewelry.

Aside from talking to Old Han, almost all of my time is spent on tempering skills.

Until the winter vacation, Lu Li's calligraphy, painting and sculpture were still a little short of the mark, failing to really advance to Master Rank.

Return to Rain City with Liu Qin.

During the Chinese New Year in my hometown, Lu Li helped Dad Lu chop firewood, and the moment he picked up the axe to chop, suddenly the dive light flashed.

Throw away the axe and dash into the room.

Lu Li spread out the rice paper, swiped with a pen, and wrote a line of large characters on the rice paper.

This is a brand new font! Condensing all Lu Li's understanding of calligraphy, summed up his own calligraphy skills!

Like mountains and vertical like mountains!

Heavy! Quaint! vigorous! Majestic!

The biggest feature of this font is that, unlike other fonts, it is like a knife, but it is like an axe.

“Skill: Calligraphy (Master)!”

The calligraphy skill will be promoted to Master Rank!

Lu Li smiled with a pen, and another skill has been promoted to Master Rank!
