Recycled Porcelain [Ancient Wears Today]

Naturally, Jiang Xin rushed to teach Xu Jiuzhao how to drive in order to increase the time they spend alone, but Xu Jiuzhao himself didn't know that he had to go to a driving school to learn how to drive and take a driving test.

Of course, not everyone has to go to a driving school to learn the test book. There are a small number of people who can get the driving book without going to the driving school.He didn't belong to this group before, but after Jiang Xin intervened, he became this small group of people involuntarily.

Jiang Xin first found the textbooks for Xu Jiuzhao's written test. The two of them sat at the dining table in the living room on the first floor, and Jiang Xin explained them to him one by one.Then I was afraid that Xu Jiuzhao would not be able to memorize it, so I got him a set of questions and asked him to memorize while doing it.

The real driving practice is even easier. After teaching Xu Jiuzhao the use of various parts on the car, Jiang Xin drove him to an open field in the countryside and let Xu Jiuzhao practice his hands.

Just like this, Xu Jiuzhao quickly overcame the little fear and got a little bit of a look.

Although Xu Jiuzhao learned the knowledge of the written test quickly, there are always various mistakes and problems in the actual operation. Fortunately, Jiang Xin is a patient coach who will not lose his temper with him, and he corrects it bit by bit All kinds of problems with him.

After starting again and turning off the engine, Xu Jiuzhao himself felt embarrassed, and he beat the steering wheel with his head in frustration.

Jiang Xin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this is one of the most common problems for novices, let's do it again."

Xu Jiuzhao wiped off the sweat from his tense face, and continued to try again.This time he carefully recited the steps silently in his heart, but when he manipulated it, he was half a beat slow again.Seeing that the engine was about to turn off again, Jiang Xin quickly pressed Xu Jiuzhao's hand to release the handbrake, and the car started smoothly.

"This is not very good." Jiang Xin said.

Xu Jiuzhao felt even hotter on his face, if Jiang Xin hadn't held his hand, he would have turned off the fire again.

Because the moment Jiang Xin held his hand was very impressive, Xu Jiuzhao went smoothly after that, and the engine never turned off again.

The weather is very hot, Jiang Xin is also very busy, not every day has time to come out to practice with him, Xu Jiuzhao makes modern pottery by himself when he is not here.

Maybe because it opened the door to a new world, Xu Jiuzhao dared to try clay more and more. He tried all kinds of weird styles and shapes.

This may be the fun of playing with mud that Xu Jiuzhao has never experienced before. Now this kind of novel and extraordinary attempts aroused Xu Jiuzhao's playfulness.

Although the style has also tried to be exaggerated and deformed, the deep-rooted classical ceramic art cultivation still makes his works have a delicate beauty, which is not like the one he saw in the exhibition hall of the national joint exhibition at first. Works that make people feel the enjoyment of beauty.

The ornamental porcelain vase named "Baohe" by Jiang Xin was robbed immediately after it was fired, and the porcelain bowl composed of five maple leaves was used by Xu Jiuzhao to make a candy bowl.

After Tang Xiaoyi came once, he also walked away a few times.Seeing this, Jiang Xin hated secretly, and told Xu Jiuzhao not to let these ceramics flow out.

Xu Jiuzhao said: "I'm just doing it for fun, I don't know how to sell it."

Jiang Xin said: "Your current works have a very stable market price, you can only go up, don't let it fall."

Xu Jiuzhao nodded: "I understand. These modern pottery works are fired in electric kilns, the cost is not high, and they cannot be sold at high prices. I will not let these hands-on ones flow to the market."

Jiang Xin said: "In addition to this reason, the number of your works put on the market every year should be controlled a little bit, otherwise the appreciation space is small, and people will not be willing to buy."

The reason why works of art are valuable, in addition to the artist's own skills and fame, has a lot to do with the amount of existence.

If a ceramic master has only a few hundred works in his life, it is much more valuable than another master who has thousands of works in his life.

And the old works appreciate faster than the young ones, because the old ones die earlier than the young ones, and it is doomed that his works cannot increase much.But the young ones are different, who knows how long they can live and how many works they will produce later.Although so ruthless and cruel, the collectors who bought those works were actually speculative in anticipating the early death of the old artist.

Xu Jiuzhao nodded and said, "I know, these senior brothers Wu told me about it."

Jiang Xin blinked and said, "By the way, he took a batch and sold it abroad. How about it? Did he sell it?"

Xu Jiuzhao nodded embarrassingly and said: "It's sold, but what Brother Wu Miao gave me is foreign money, and I have enough money for a while, so I don't care about it."

Wu Miao sold him all in Euros, a total of 12, equivalent to about 9900+ in RMB.The most valuable thing was the gourd bottle with the story picture, which sold for 10,000 Euros, which was not far from what Wu Miao had estimated.

Xu Jiuzhao didn't know how to turn this foreign money into RMB, so he just left it alone.

Jiang Xin was speechless, and finally had to say: "Then don't move, and you can use it directly when you go abroad." Then he said thoughtfully: "Do you want to find a broker or an economic manager?" OK?"

Xu Jiuzhao blinked in surprise: "What?"

Jiang Xin said patiently: "Artists generally have agents or brokers who manage their assets and sell works for them. Artists are only responsible for producing their own works with peace of mind, and don't care about anything else."

This suits Xu Jiuzhao so much!

He is a professional art creator, and it is not a waste of time to let him sell it by himself.

Xu Jiuzhao had also considered this issue, but since it was not imminent, he was not in a hurry.In the past, his works were sold through the sales channels of Yunwen Porcelain Factory, but he was sold through exhibitions twice later.He himself does not have any means and connections to sell his works.

Xu Jiuzhao moved to Shanghai, and Zou Hengxin felt that he had already taught everything he could teach, so he returned to his home in Handan and let Xu Jiuzhao make his own way.Although he loves the closed disciples, he also knows that it is impossible to cover everything to the end and control everything.

So Xu Jiuzhao also thought about how to sell his works in the future.

The works of art produced by modern art artists are often sold through four public channels: auction houses, exhibitions, agency galleries, and consignment agencies.

Among them, auction houses and exhibitions belong to the form of collectively selling a large number of artworks, and the cooperative relationship is not stable.Agency-based galleries are more flexible. They can sell their works to galleries at any time, and they can even sign contracts with galleries, and the galleries will package and promote them.Consignment agencies are galleries and cultural relics and art stores engaged in consignment sales. Artists hand over their works as commodities to the other party for sale, and the two parties settle the settlement when they are sold.

Brokers belong to non-public private channels. Good brokers have amazing contacts and can quickly open up the market and word-of-mouth for artists.

Jiang Xin explained the differences to Xu Jiuzhao in detail, and Xu Jiuzhao listened thoughtfully.

Jiang Xin said: "In terms of commission, the auction house is the least, the broker is in the middle, and the gallery is the most. Although the auction house will also carry out publicity, it will not create fame for the artist. The broker is cost-effective, but they may not be able to find suitable ones." , and although the gallery has the highest commission, it covers everything to the end."

Xu Jiuzhao looked up at him: "You mean to suggest that I choose a gallery?"

Jiang Xin shook her head and said, "No, if you can, you'd better find an agent."

Xu Jiuzhao was surprised: "Why?"

Jiang Xin said: "The agent-based gallery has only been in my country for more than 30 years, and the business model of the gallery in China is not as sound as that in foreign countries. The reputation and reputation are not very good, and the service cannot keep up. Now large and small There are good galleries and bad ones, and the packaging hype is all over the place, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t choose it.”

Xu Jiuzhao was perplexed, but still planned to follow Jiang Xin's suggestion.

"Then I'll find an agent." He finally made up his mind.

Jiang Xin nodded and said, "Okay, don't be in a hurry to find a good agent. I'll help you find out slowly. For the time being, if you have works, put them on Boguxuan for sale first."

Although Tang Xiaoyi is also an art dealer, his main focus is on antiques, not modern art.Otherwise, let Tang Xiaoyi act as Xu Jiuzhao's agent, and get less commission (Tang Xiaoyi: ...).

Xu Jiuzhao looked at Jiang Xin's thoughtful face, and couldn't help being moved.Ah Xin has such deep friendship, how should he repay him?

Not long after, Xu Jiuzhao passed the written test and was waiting for the driving test.With Jiang Xin's intervention, although Xu Jiuzhao didn't have to go to the driving school to study, he still took the driving school test procedure, and didn't get him a driving book in a high-profile way.

One day, Xu Jiuzhao received a call from a stranger.

"Hello, are you Mr. Xu Jiuzhao?" a man asked.

"I am, who are you?"

"It's like this. The blue and white story map radish bottle you sent to the exhibition has been shortlisted for one of the highest awards. We will present the awards and rankings on the spot two days later. Please be sure to come to the scene."

Xu Jiuzhao smiled when he heard the words: "Okay, I will definitely be there."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jiuzhao waved his fist happily.

"Hmph, Ma Xiushan, let's see how you can turn black and white and splash dirty water this time." Xu Jiuzhao sneered.

Ma Xiushan is far away in Jiangxi, and the slander of Xu Jiuzhao is in a magazine, which is equivalent to striking from the air.Xu Jiuzhao wanted to retaliate against being too far away from others, and splashed dirty water back in the media. The teacher told the brothers that it would expand the influence and the reputation would be even worse.

So Xu Jiuzhao came up with such a way to openly win the award again, which made Ma Xiushan feel ashamed without anything to say.

After reporting the good news to those who should know, Xu Jiuzhao packed his luggage and sent Master Miao to Xiaoyanglou to be taken care of. Jiang Xin insisted on following after he found out, so the two went straight to Jingdezhen, Jiangxi.

That's right, the battlefield this time is Ma Xiushan's home court, Xu Jiuzhao's hometown in his previous life - Jingdezhen.
