Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

This time the work is very different from the previous one. This is not just a simple improvement, but a qualitative leap.

How long has it been?

In less than half a year, Xu Jiuzhao was able to complete the transformation from one field to another without any sense of jerky.

It can only be said that he has the ability that ordinary people cannot match in terms of artistic style and understanding. His unique creations are in a school of their own, and it is no exaggeration to be called a master.

Zou Hengxin lamented that he did not expect that his closed disciple could improve so fast.This is no longer just on par with him, but has far surpassed him as a teacher.

At the same time, Zou Hengxin was also very confused, what caused such a sudden change in him.But just the stimulation of losing the work can't make such an exaggerated leap.

When Zou Hengxin had a question in his heart, he naturally asked it.

Xu Jiuzhao naturally wouldn't hide anything from the teacher.

"I read those criticisms of me, and I gained something." Xu Jiuzhao admitted frankly. Although he took the negative and critical comments on the Internet as a relief, after all, he saw it in his heart. It's just revealed.

Only then did Jiang Xin realize that Xu Jiuzhao was still being affected, and she immediately felt distressed: "Jiuzhao..."

Xu Jiuzhao smiled at him and shook his head: "It's good to listen to criticism occasionally, at least it can let me know that I still have those shortcomings."

Jiang Xin said injustice for him: "Those people are simply finding fault, and they are not sincerely criticizing."

Xu Jiuzhao said calmly: "I don't think the talk of going off topic and showing off skills is not nonsense."

Zou Hengxin also read those remarks, but he came over in a big way, and the criticism he encountered was sometimes even worse than these.He was not surprised to hear these remarks against Xu Jiuzhao.

Don't be envied to make mediocrity, the young disciple will face this kind of situation sooner or later, he is just worried that the other party's heart will be affected.But now it seems that Xu Jiuzhao is strong and mature, and it is not a bad thing to suffer setbacks occasionally.On the contrary, it can hone his xinxing even more.

So he said: "Can you tell us about the changes in your thinking during this period? And the creative concept of this work."

Xu Jiuzhao nodded: "In terms of material selection, what I considered at the time was only to reflect the change of time, and life in ancient and modern times was different. I lamented the advancement and brilliance of modern life. For some reason, my head was a little too excited, so I exaggerated a little. It has lengthened the process and time span. It seems to be a bit off topic if you say it."

At that time, Xu Jiuzhao was thinking from his own point of view. His own experience was legendary, from the restoration of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago to modern times.The most important central idea is to express the impact of the two great changes in his life before and after, from the panic at the beginning to the calm acceptance, and finally to peace and tranquility.

This is his most perceptual cognition, and this is his life now.

But he is probably the only person who has personally experienced this kind of century-old change from the perspective of the world. Others can only stand from the perspective of a group, not an individual.Therefore, he was idealistic in the selection of materials.Strictly speaking, he digresses, but he can accept it.

"Technically speaking, when I finished that work, I was really proud of my unparalleled skills, and I was proud." Xu Jiuzhao said with downcast eyes.At that time, he said that he was modest, and when he saw that everyone was shocked by the four screens, he was very complacent in his heart.

After all, it is the combination of what he has learned in his past and present lives, and it can be regarded as the pinnacle of his porcelain-making career.

Feng Zhongbao couldn't accept it: "Jiu Zhao, what you have done is indeed admirable. It is human nature to be proud and complacent, and there is nothing to blame for this."

Zou Hengxin also nodded and said: "You are a young man, you should be more aggressive. You are too calm, which makes you seem meek. Our art creation is to pursue the liberation of self-spirituality. The most terrible thing is to have no personality. of."

Jiang Xin also said: "Yeah, you can be more assertive and arrogant." Although his Jiuzhao is not of this type of personality, as an artist, he insists on expressing his own ideas and personality, so that he can achieve something.

If it is clichéd, echoes what others say, and has no personality, it will disappear among all living beings.Fortunately, Xu Jiuzhao is now able to express his own voice through his works.

Gao Daquan said from the side: "Is it these two points that made you make a breakthrough?"

Xu Jiuzhao nodded and said: "I have been thinking about new works, and I am determined not to rely on skills, but to use the most traditional and basic techniques to create." He looked at Jiang Xin and said with a smile: "Although there is this direction, but there has been no The clue, thanks to Ah Xin, I can have this inspiration."

Gao Daquan turned his head and stared at the flawless white porcelain vase: "This design idea is very bold and breaks through tradition. It can be said to be unprecedented in ancient and modern times."

Zou Hengxin also walked over and bent down to take a closer look at this porcelain vase, which was half a meter high and could be called a large porcelain vase.

"Well, it is really difficult to express the human body with traditional pottery. What is rare is that the structure of Jiuzhao's vessel is masculine yet soft and tall." Zou Hengxin praised, "The shape of this porcelain vase It can become a type by itself."

Listening to the teacher's comments, Xu Jiuzhao couldn't help looking at Jiang Xin. To be honest, this work was completely done according to Jiang Xin's body proportions. As long as he looked closely, he could outline A Xin's lower body, and his ears began to heat up. , His cheeks started to get hot.

He never knew that he could be so bold and do such a shameful thing before.

Xu Jiuzhao's eyes were full of embarrassment, but he couldn't help looking at Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin naturally knew that the model for this porcelain vase was herself, poured out of two big cartons of milk.It can inspire Xu Jiuzhao and make Jiang Xin proud and happy.This is the proof that Jiuzhao loves him, look at this porcelain vase, it is full of love!

The two old men in front exchanged comments, and a pair of young lovers behind them looked at each other affectionately.

"Jiu Zhao, what do you plan to call this porcelain vase?"

Xu Jiuzhao looked into Jiang Xin's eyes, and replied without thinking: "Let's call it "My Lover."

"..." Zou Hengxin & Gao Daquan straightened up, and they both looked at Xu Jiuzhao behind them.

"??!!" Feng Zhongbao was shocked.

Only then did Xu Jiuzhao realize that the words just now were not from A Xin, but from the teacher's voice.

Zou Hengxin racked his brains to understand, as if something was wrong!

The little disciple said that the source of inspiration was Jiang Xin, and this work is called "My Lover"? !

The directivity is so obvious, if he can't taste it again.Unless he has dementia!

Zou Hengxin was so shocked that his face went blank, and he said in a trembling voice: "Jiu Zhao? When did you and A Xin happen?" Why didn't he find out? !

Xu Jiuzhao was also flustered because of this accident for a while, he was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain: "Well, teacher... listen to me."

Zou Hengxin was still calm: "Say it."

Although Zou Hengxin didn't get angry all of a sudden, it made Xu Jiuzhao very nervous.At this moment, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, he was not alone, and Jiang Xin took over immediately.

He first bowed his head sincerely and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zou. You can blame me for this matter."

Then, Jiang Xin talked about how he coveted Xu Jiuzhao when he didn't know him for a long time, then deliberately approached him, and cleverly used tricks to fool Xu Jiuzhao to Shanghai, and finally took Xu Jiuzhao into his bowl near the water. I told Zou Hengxin everything about the story.

Zou Hengxin put on a serious face: "So, Lao Jiang knows, his three senior brothers know, Zhong Bao knows, and even Zhang Wenzhao knows. I'm the only one kept in the dark?" Gao Daquan cleared his throat, and Zou Hengxin ignored it.

"If you didn't accidentally reveal your secrets this time, when are you going to let me know?" Zou Heng said in a new breath, "Or are you going to wait for my legs to kick and hide it from me forever?"

As Xu Jiuzhao's only teacher, Zou Hengxin naturally hoped that he would start a family and have children in the future.However, these thoughts were completely known by everyone around them, and no one objected to being hit. There was no way to express it.

Ah Xin is really not a young man with personality problems, and Jiu Zhao is also an old-fashioned temper.These two people are not children who can play around, no matter how they look, they don't seem to be impulsive, and they are rushing to live a long life.

A feeling of being ignored made Zou Hengxin feel overwhelmed, and lost his temper in depression.

Zou Hengxin is different from Jiang Weiguo who pays more and more attention to the face of the elders when he gets old. He can be very childish and confident, regardless of what others think.

Zou Hengxin is so old and young, Gao Daquan has seen it well, but the two young ones don't know.The anxious Xu Jiuzhao and Jiang Xin circled around, and it was Gao Daquan who finally pointed out the maze.

Jiang Xin hurriedly called Mr. Jiang. After Mr. Jiang came, he solemnly set up a table, and the relatives and friends of both parties sat together.The serious one is like a formal meeting to discuss marriage, so embarrassing that Xu Jiuzhao, who has been a man for two lives, is a little embarrassed.

On the other hand, Jiang Xin was shy, and served tea and water to Zou Hengxin cheekily, toasted and promised to live a good life with Xu Jiuzhao in the future.

In such a formal scene, Zou Hengxin felt respected.

Zou Hengxin said with a stern face: "Although you are two men living together, you should be like a normal couple, supporting each other and relying on life and death. Now I am not very tolerant of the situation between you two, you should treat each other more sincerely." , are loyal to each other. Got it?"

Xu Jiuzhao and Jiang Xin said in unison, "Understood."

Jiang Weiguo also said with a serious face: "Now it's officially settled for you. Although we can't hold a wedding, we must have everything we need to live a life. It's not a big deal for two people to spend a lifetime. You have to add another Children, I will give you old age in the future."

Xu Jiuzhao frowned, unwilling in his heart.Before when he was just with Jiang Xin, he could calmly ask Jiang Xin if he planned to have a child, but now that the two really love each other, he is not willing to let Jiang Xin have any intimacy with other people.

Feng Zhongbao said: "Isn't there a surrogate now? You two should have one each."

Jiang Xin said, "We don't have to have children who are related to us by blood." He glanced at Xu Jiuzhao who was surprised, and said, "I want to adopt one or a few in the future if there is fate."

He has always been thinking about the fact that Xu Jiuzhao was born in an orphanage and was an orphan.Therefore, I have more pity for those children who have no father or mother.If he really wanted his own child, he would rather have a child with Xu Jiuzhao and his own genes. Since he couldn't, he might as well take care of it himself.

Xu Jiuzhao nodded and said, "It's not necessarily worse than my relative's."

Jiang Weiguo said lightly: "It's good that you have plans, a child is also a complete family."

Jiang Weiguo didn't insist on having a biological child. Anyway, Jiang Pingjian's and Jiang Pingli's children had already married and had children, so Jiang Xin was no different.

Here they are eating happily, while Wu Miao, who is far away in France, is talking with someone with a blank expression on his hungry stomach.

The conversation started at nine o'clock in the morning and has continued until now. He was already hungry and rebelled, but Wu Miao still looked unmoved and ruthless on his face.

Who made him face the French police officer in charge of the case and the head of the organizing committee of the exhibition.

Both of them pissed him off.

As the representative of the artwork holder, Wu Miao came to understand the case this time.

French police officer Hank Nelson gave them a detailed introduction to the progress of the case.

Wu Miao said blankly: "You mean, after a month has passed, all you have achieved is to check all the suspects and find nothing?"

Hanke said calmly: "No, the existing suspects have no possibility of committing the crime, which can be regarded as a big progress. At least the possibility of these people has been ruled out, so we can spend more energy on other clues and narrow down the investigation. scope."

Wu Miao squinted her eyes, wishing she could lift the table!

It's been a month, it's been a month, and this little progress can be said to be a relatively large progress.

Wu Miao really wanted to curse.Seeing that he was about to explode, Officer Hank showed the latest progress: "We have preliminarily delineated the suspect who is most likely to commit the crime."

Wu Miao said patiently, "How did you confirm it? Those people were obviously the most suspicious before, so they were still eliminated."

Hanke said calmly: "The security system of the convention and exhibition center was designed by a first-class security company, and the security plan was also designed by the other party. Therefore, the possibility of security loopholes is very small."

The head of the organizing committee is a white man in his sixties with gray hair, named Kenny McKinsey.He echoed: "Yes, Mr. Wu. I know that this theft has made you suspicious and dissatisfied with our work. However, our security procedures are indeed no problem."

Wu Miao sneered: "How dare you say there is no problem? I clearly remember that no one came to check people's packages when I entered and exited the exhibition hall!"

Kenny McKinsey said: "Let the security guards check everyone's packages? Mr. Wu, we have no right to do this. It's too intrusive on people's privacy. If the exhibition really does this, I believe we will close it immediately." to a letter of indictment from human rights activists."

Wu Miao was furious: "Someone can transport artworks away without anyone noticing. At this time, you still care about other people's lives?"

Kenny McKinsey shook his head and said: "Mr. Wu, let me explain to you in detail. The place where the exhibition accepts registrations is separated from the warehouse where the works are stored. That place is far away from the registration place, and there are no staff Others are not allowed to enter. People are only allowed to enter and exit that area after being carefully checked outside the warehouse.”

Officer Hanke said: "So based on this, we first excluded most of the artists, gallery owners, and brokers who had no chance to go to the rear warehouse area. We focused on checking the staff, but it turned out that these staff did not The suspicion and possibility of committing the crime.”

Wu Miao frowned: "That means entering a dead end again."

Officer Hank shook his head and said: "This made us realize that we were going in the wrong direction, and we went back and re-analyzed. The risk of one person committing a crime was too high or too small, so in the end we concluded that this was a three-person, or It was the cooperation of three or more people to steal."

Wu Miao was really surprised now: "Is it a gang?"

Constable Hanke said: "In the form of a gang, but these people are not closely related, and they may not even have known each other before. One person is responsible for confirming the location of the stolen items, and the other person has security information. It provides a way to pass through security, and finally another person carries out the theft. There are no traces left at the scene, and the person who actually carried out the theft can be said to be a very experienced thief."

Wu Miao never thought that it would be so complicated. He thought that the thieves just took advantage of security loopholes to blatantly steal the four screens.

Officer Hanke said: "So, this is a case of internal and external collusion, with the nature of self-stealing. The police began to secretly investigate which of these people was the insider who sold the information of the item, but found nothing. At this time, Mr. McKinsey provided a Useful clue."

Kenny McKinsey sighed: "I'm very glad that our team has withstood the test, and this person did not appear in the organizing committee."

Wu Miao asked: "Who is the ghost?"

Kenny McKinsey said: "All exhibited works are placed in the warehouse before the opening, but if the artist wants to dismantle the exhibition or modify and fine-tune the works, he can enter the warehouse accompanied by the staff and take away his own works. The works may be adjusted on the spot. At that time, there were four artists who entered the No. [-] warehouse.”

"We are conducting an investigation against all four individuals," Sergeant Hank said.

Wu Miao thought for a while and said, "In other words, this is a crime caused by vicious competition among participating artists?"

Police officer Hanke said: "More than that, I believe these people are not enough to hire a robber just to remove an obstacle. For money, this is a big reason." Wu Miao looked at him in surprise, Hanke said : "On the black market, someone paid an astonishingly high price for this work."

Wu Miao asked Kenny Mackins: "Can you tell me the names of those four artists?"

Kenny McKinsey hesitated for a moment, but still told Wu Miao the names of the four people.

As a result, Wu Miao exclaimed, "Tony Lee?"

Officer Hank sharply asked immediately: "Do you know this person?"

Wu Miao said in a daze: "This person once had a conflict with Xu Jiuzhao! It seems that it was for the materials of that work."

Officer Hank patted the table, and he stood up: "Immediately list him as the first suspect!"

Kenny McKinsey stood up and said, "If you can, please get "The World of Light and Shadow" back."

Wu Miao called Xu Jiuzhao: "Little brother, I have some good news for you!"

Xu Jiuzhao said, "I also have good news to tell you."

"Then you speak first."

"The new work is ready, and you can come and take it away at any time."

"I can't wait to see it for myself."

"What good news did you say?"

"The suspect has been confirmed here, and the case is likely to be solved soon."

"Huh? Then which work will be exhibited at that time?"

As a result, the two of them worried about this problem for nothing.After Li Songyan and the security guard were arrested, he confessed that the piece of work had already been sold by the thief through a broker, and the day of recovering it was nowhere in sight.

It wasn't until the news that Li Songyan's manager Han Hao knew that Li Songyan had done such a thing.

When visiting the prison, the manager asked in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Why did you do such a thing?! Obviously you still have a bright future."

Li Songyan haggarded a lot, and he no longer had that kind of high-spirited and high-spirited energy.

He said: "Why did I do that kind of thing? It's not because of your plan! If Xu Jiuzhao really won the gold medal, who else would focus on me?! He stole all the limelight!"

Han Hao couldn't believe it: "That's what you are for? Although Xu Jiuzhao's appearance has affected your rise to a certain extent, but you know that the market for group artists is much easier to hype than individual artists! Take a ride with Xu Jiuzhao, even you It can also double your value!"

Li Songyan showed a crazy expression: "I don't want to wag my tail behind his ass!! He doesn't want to step on my head, don't even think about it!! He still wants to participate in the exhibition and win prizes, I'm yuck!"

Han Hao couldn't communicate with him. He shook his head: "You are really hopeless. Unfortunately, your plan failed. Xu Jiuzhao has completed a new work, which will be officially exhibited at the exhibition."

Wu Miao flew back to China, packed Xu Jiuzhao and Jiang Xin, who were inseparable as conjoined twins, and headed straight to Paris, France.

This time, he was determined to watch the exhibitor put this blinding porcelain vase on the booth, and if there was any problem, he would jump off the Eiffel Tower!
