"Xiao Lu, congratulations!"

Ms. Liu was all smiles, she was very happy, "You have created a sculpture representing Xichuan's humanistic spirit, and you are already a veritable artist."

"Lu Li, congratulations! Today is your day of glory, and we are very happy for you."

Liu Qin also praised Lu Li beside him.

"Oh, thank you!"

Lu Li answered with a smile, then turned to look at his parents next to him, and asked Liu Qin, "My parents... came with you?"

"Yes!"

Before Liu Qin could answer, Mother Liu immediately took up the conversation, "I heard from Liu Qin that your sculpture was completed today. I think... your parents must also want to come here in person to share the joy of your success. Ask Liu Qin to bring his in-laws...uh, ahem, and bring your parents over."

Huh?I seemed to... heard something amazing just now!

Mother-in-law, you are my real mother!

The joy in Lu Xin's heart!

It's just... This unfinished sentence of "in-laws" made Liu Qin's face flushed, Liu's father's face darkened, and Lu's father and mother's faces dull.

The power of the mother-in-law is terrifying, and the lethality is really huge!

"Little Lu! That... let's go first!"

Mother Liu also knew that her words were too scary, so she was ready to run away.

Liu's father had a dark face, turned around and left without saying a word.How embarrassing!Is this girl out of her mind?I was a hero, why did I find such an asshole?

Even if Liu Qin and Lu Li are talking about friends, why do you call "in-laws"?

The daughter of my old Liu family, is she so afraid of no one?You can't wait to deliver it to your door, how do you let others see it?

This woman... I really want to slap her to death!

It's a pity that Xi Chuan is famous for raking his ears.Lao Liu's family status...he really didn't dare to slap him.

Liu's mother fled in embarrassment, and Liu's father turned around and left with a dark face.Liu Qin blushed, turned around and left with his head down.

"Son... what is this...?"

Father Lu watched the Liu family leave in a hurry, with a dazed look on his face.

"No! Nothing!"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "Maybe they have something to do, so they should leave in a hurry!"

"No, I just heard..."

"You didn't hear anything!"

Lu Li hastily gagged Father Lu's mouth, not letting him speak out.

Mother Liu slipped her tongue for a while and made an oolong mess, which made Liu's father very embarrassed and Liu Qin was very embarrassed.

This matter must be treated as if nothing happened to avoid embarrassment in the future.

"Oh……"

Lu's father and Lu's mother looked at each other, and said a long "oh", and they understood.

My son... this is talking about friends!

After the inauguration ceremony, Xiao Wang from the provincial office sent another car to take Lu Li's family back to Yucheng.

Lu Li left the provincial capital, but the influence of this inauguration ceremony was still fermenting.

Because the Xichuan provincial government officially proposed the Xichuan humanistic spirit, and also used Lu Li's sculpture as a representative work of Xichuan's humanistic spirit, which made Lu Li's reputation even louder.

"Lu Li's sculptures have become the embodiment of Xichuan's humanistic spirit."

"Lu Li will tell you what real art is!"

"Lu Li, a well-deserved young artist."

"A work of art that carries the humanistic spirit!"

The media once again made a lot of hype about Lu Li, elevating Lu Li's artistic achievements to the level of humanities and art.

Xichuan art circles and cultural circles also conducted in-depth analysis of Lu Li's work, analyzing its humanistic and artistic connotations.

Seeing these "in-depth analysis" articles, Lu Li...was confused and stunned!

What does the expression on a certain pandaren's face represent?What does a certain action of a certain pandaren represent?

What did you dissect... what?

As an author, why can't I understand what you have analyzed?

I... I don't think so at all, okay?

After seeing these interpretation articles, Lu Li finally felt like doing "reading comprehension".You understand too deeply, you are awesome!

The completion of this statue also marks the official launch of Lu Li's first representative work!

In the foreseeable future, this sculpture representing the humanistic spirit of Xichuan will definitely stand on the cultural square for a long time.

No one can deny Xichuan's humanistic spirit, so no one can dismantle Lu Li's work!

This is a golden signboard!

When this sculpture was completed, Lu Li's title of artist was already worthy of the name and unshakable.

On this day, Lu Li was famous all over the city.

In addition to his great fame, Lu Li had other gains.

After the inauguration ceremony of the sculpture, the Xichuan Provincial Government had already settled the final payment with the Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company, and Lu Li received another large sum of money.

After deducting costs and paying taxes, Lu Li earned another 850 million from this project.

Including the design fee of 500 million, Lu Li made a total of 350 million, accounting for [-]% of the entire project cost.

This is the real double gain of fame and fortune!

……

After the inauguration ceremony of the sculpture, it was already the end of the year.

Lu Li, who returned to Yucheng, was already on winter vacation.

It's just... Lu Li received a call from the counselor. In addition to congratulating Lu Li on the completion of the work, the counselor also told Lu Li a sad news.

That is... All his courses this semester have zero marks.

If you don't even take the final exam, you will definitely not get a grade.

Lu Li was helpless.I am a famous young artist, I am a top student with full marks in the college entrance examination, but I got zero marks in all subjects?

Fortunately, everyone knew that Lu Li's absence from the exam was due to special circumstances, and it would not count as failing the exam. He only needed to make up the exam at the beginning of the next semester.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders. It seems that he needs to apply for early graduation as soon as possible.

Chapter 238 Expert Sculpture, Lu Li's New Work

"It's still comfortable at home!"

Back in Yucheng, the moment Lu Li stepped into the house, he saw the house that had been artistically processed by him, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

From Lu Li's current perspective, the exquisite furniture carvings and wall paintings looked immature now.

This is a good thing!It means that I am constantly improving.

With a thought, I opened the character interface, and the skill level displayed on it now has a new change.

Calligraphy: expert.

Painting: Expert.

Sculpture: Specialist.

Engraving: Mastery.

After completing the sculpture of "Pandaman", Lu Li's sculpture skills officially broke through and he was promoted to expert level.

So far, of Lu Li's four basic skills, only carving has yet to break through.

One method, one hundred methods.After calligraphy, painting, and sculpture were promoted to the expert level, Lu Li also clearly felt that his carving skills were about to break through.

After returning home, Lu's father and Lu's mother resumed their daily life and continued to go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables every day.

Lu Li's life is also very ordinary.

Every day is still a step-by-step skill practice, practicing calligraphy, painting, carving, and sculpture.

Because he had money, in addition to the 400 million he gave to his parents, Lu Li still had 950 million in cash.Therefore, Lu Li's carving materials became more advanced.

Huanghua pear, rosewood, golden nan, red sandalwood, ebony, and other precious woods have become Lu Li's new creative materials.

Of course, Lu Li didn't do any big things at the beginning, they were all small texts and ornaments, which were perfect for practicing.

Pen holders, tea trays, rosary beads, ink cartridges... All kinds of wood carvings gradually appeared on Lu Li's desk.

With constant practice, Lu Li's carving skills improved more and more, and his experience bar was almost full.

After the new year, Lu Li started to create his first large-scale root sculpture.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the first lunar month, after seven days of hard work, Lu Li finally completed his work.

This is a large root carved tea table.

A set of tea tables carved with golden nan root, elegant in shape and majestic in style.Following the tree root texture and various knots, various sculptures such as landscapes, towers, flowers, birds, insects and fish are constructed.

When the last carving was finished, Lu Li's carving skills officially broke through, and all four basic skills were promoted to the expert level.

At this moment, whether it is calligraphy, painting, sculpture, or sculpture, Lu Li's skills are superb and his attainments are very profound. He is already a veritable artist.

Moreover, he is an artist with a solid foundation and no shortcomings.

Polish the root carving tea table, apply a layer of varnish, and let it dry to complete the work.

After his carving skills were promoted to expert level, Lu Li began to buy more expensive materials.

After purchasing some jade carving materials such as agate, beeswax, turquoise, Dushan stone, Xiu jade, and white jade, Lu Li began to create jade carvings.

It should be mentioned here that Lu Li didn't dare to do jade carving until his carving skills were promoted to the expert level.Because... these materials are so expensive!

Even though the materials were purchased through Manager Wu's "internal price", they were still some small pieces of jade, which cost Lu Li hundreds of thousands.

The price is calculated in grams, and many jade materials are more expensive than gold, which is really not something ordinary people can afford.

Jade carving, if carved beautifully, will naturally double the value of jade.If the engraving is not good...then it's useless!

Even though Lu Li had close to ten million in cash, he didn't dare to use jade to practice his skills. This was worse than burning money. It was all crooked, and it was heart-wrenching!

Jade carving is basically done by grinding, so jade carving is also called "carving".

Modern high-tech jade carving tools are somewhat similar to dentist tools in a sense.

When the rapidly spinning engraving needle landed on the jade, it made a teeth-piercing scream.

Flying jade chips... every gram is money!

Therefore, there is absolutely no drastic removal of materials in jade carving. The carving creation of each piece of jade material needs to maximize the use of materials according to the shape and structure of the material, because...it cannot be wasted!

Agate is not very expensive, so Lu Li first practiced with agate.

After carefully measuring the size of the agate and determining a plan to maximize the use of the material, Lu Li dug out a dozen or so small beads on the agate material.

Carve these small beads into round beads, and then carve various arhat shapes on the beads to make a bracelet.

After polishing, drilling and threading, a string of dark red agate beads is officially completed.

Pick up this bracelet and look at it in front of your eyes. The translucent agate is shining in the light, and the smiling arhats on the beads are lifelike.

"good!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "My bracelet is worth at least tens of thousands. It belongs to Dad!"

Putting down the bracelet, Lu Li continued to create.

I also made an agate bracelet and a beeswax necklace for my mother.
