When doing this, no one knew Xu Jiuzhao's plan.Feng Zhongbao just signed up for him and sent the work to the courier. Zou Hengxin just knew that he participated in the Jingdezhen Traditional Ceramic Art Innovation Exhibition this time, thinking that he was just going to increase his qualifications.At that time, Jiang Xin was far away from abroad, Xu Jiuzhao just mentioned it, Jiang Xin got dizzy and forgot it.

Only now did these relatives and friends become happy when they knew that his work had been shortlisted.

Of course, winning at Xu Jiuzhao's level is a sure thing, and it would be strange not to win.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Jiuzhao's work this time is a trap aimed at Ma Xiushan, but Xu Jiuzhao couldn't do it himself if the trap had to work, so he told Jiang Xin to let him carry out the rest of the plan.

After Jiang Xin heard this, she complained why he didn't speak up earlier, but it's still too late to start pushing now.

Compared with the previous national joint exhibition, this innovation exhibition has a higher level and level, and those who do not have a certain level and just come to mix their qualifications are brushed off.The judges are all veteran artists and art critics from the National Artists Association.Because this circle is relatively small and often related to relatives, the works are selected anonymously, just to be as fair and impartial as possible.

Ma Xiushan was also one of the judges, but the right to speak was obviously not as loud as last time, so he could only vote behind others.

Xu Jiuzhao arrived in Jingdezhen with Jiang Xin. The trip was too short, and his feelings of closeness and timidity had arrived before it had time to ferment.Xu Jiuzhao looked at this completely modern city with a lot of emotion, and it didn't look like it was in his memory at all.

"Jiuzhao?" Jiang Xin looked at Xu Jiuzhao who was standing there with a complicated expression in doubt, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jiuzhao blinked his moist eyes: "No, I just didn't expect Jingdezhen to look like this now."

Jiang Xin smiled, and said: "Modern cities are developing very fast, and if you don't come back for 10 years, they will be different."

Xu Jiuzhao forced a smile, followed him into the taxi.He stretched his head and looked around from the car window, trying to find a little bit of the building in his memory, but in the end he found nothing.

At that time, Jingdezhen had thousands of porcelain kilns, large and small, with a population of nearly one million.Businessmen from all over the country and even all over the world come and go, making this place very prosperous.

"White smoke covers the sky during the day, and red flames burn the sky at night." This is the grand occasion at that time.It's a pity that modern firewood kilns are all prohibited from burning, and there is no special approval. The Environmental Protection Bureau does not allow such an environmentally polluting production method.

But now Jingdezhen looks more vibrant and energetic, Xu Jiuzhao's lost mood gradually faded away, looking at the modern streets and houses, neat street lights, he was also happy in his heart.

After arriving, Xu Jiuzhao and Jiang Xin didn't go to the venue of the exhibition because the awards would be judged the next day.How could I not visit the remains of the Imperial Kiln Factory when I came to Jingdezhen, so Jiang Xin took Xu Jiuzhao to Jingdezhen Royal Kiln Factory National Archaeological Site Park.

When he came here, Xu Jiuzhao had a vague feeling of deja vu. When he saw the archway of the imperial kiln factory, he suddenly became excited.

He thought that the city had been completely changed beyond recognition, but he did not expect that the ruins of the Imperial Kiln Factory would be completely preserved.Even some of the exterior buildings are newly refurbished, exactly the same as before!

"How is it? Isn't it shocking?" Jiang Xin looked at Xu Jiuzhao's back with her hands behind her back and smiled. It was rare to see him so emotionally leaked. Sure enough, Jiuzhao would like this place, "Let's go in and have a look."

"En." Xu Jiuzhao nodded impatiently.

After buying tickets, the two entered the door. The inside was not as bright as the outside. Some places were completely covered by protective sheds, while some places were under construction and had not yet been completed.

Xu Jiuzhao didn't care about these, but looked at everything in the park with nostalgic eyes.He is very familiar with this place. Although the structure of some places is different, the general location has not changed.

Jiang Xin invited a tour guide to introduce them to the two, and Xu Jiuzhao revisited the old place under the introduction of the director without saying a word.

Compared with the behemoth of history, he is really too small.Not only traces of his existence, but even his contemporary kiln officials failed to leave traces.

Xu Jiuzhao's excited mood was gradually replaced by a sense of loss, and Jiang Xin inadvertently noticed that he was not in high spirits.

"Tired?" Jiang Xin stood there and looked at him worriedly, "Why don't we go back to the hotel to rest?"

Xu Jiuzhao shook his head: "It's okay, let's go back after the visit."

The two stood still, and the tour guide had no choice but to stay.Xu Jiuzhao forced himself to walk quickly, and then no one was in the mood to take a good tour, and after a hasty walk around, he returned to the hotel.

Jiang Xin was really worried about him, so she went back to the room together.

"Jiuzhao, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Xin looked at Xu Jiuzhao worriedly and concerned, and bent down to look at his face.

Xu Jiuzhao sat on the edge of the bed, his heavy heart was slightly relieved by Jiang Xin.He looked up and smiled: "I'm fine."

Jiang Xin stroked his hair: "Why are you so sluggish, you were fine at that time."

Xu Jiuzhao had no choice but to say: "I just looked at the ruins in the venue and thought about the grand occasion in the past. Then I felt that the world has changed. Those prosperous things in the past have disappeared in history, but now there is no trace left. I just feel emotional."

Jiang Xin raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, Xu Jiuzhao has never been such a sad character, why is he so sentimental now?

He carefully comforted: "How could there be no traces left? Although many people are unknown, the ceramics produced by this imperial kiln factory are still carefully kept in the hands of various museums and collectors. Isn't it all left by them?" anything under it?"

When Xu Jiuzhao was told this, he suddenly realized: "I'm on the edge of a dead end." Then he showed a big smile: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Xu Jiuzhao's little sadness came and went quickly, Jiang Xin couldn't figure it out, seeing that his mood really improved, he didn't care anymore.

The next day, the two rushed to the exhibition site of the Jingdezhen Traditional Ceramic Art Innovation Exhibition. There were a lot of people, but the order of the venue was well maintained. Someone asked Xu Jiuzhao's name, and took him to a seat in the first few rows.

The reporters behind and the onlookers watching the excitement could only stand.

Xu Jiuzhao saw Ma Xiushan at a glance, but Ma Xiushan's row of seats was in front of him, but the other party didn't see him.

It was still early for them to come, and all the leaders stepped forward to give congratulatory speeches to celebrate the complete success of this exhibition.Talking took up two-thirds of the time, and Xu Jiuzhao later felt that sitting was also a tiring thing.

When the time came to 11 o'clock, it finally entered the whole, and the awards began.The first thing to do is the third prize. The winner is a professor in a ceramics school. He is in his forties. The winning work is a porcelain plate painting.

Then there is the second prize. The winning work is a screen insert. The winner is a very artistic man in his 30s with long hair and a beard.

When it was time to announce the first prize, the host above said with a smile: "We congratulate the winner. Although this blue and white story map radish bottle follows the traditional production process, the expression of the painting is also very unique. It is classical and has the distinctive features of the Ming Dynasty. However, it has made bold breakthroughs and innovations in the material of the story. For such breakthroughs and innovations, we are very encouraging and supportive. The judges’ evaluation of this work is very Very high, I think this is a new direction for the development of traditional ceramics in the new era!" The host raised his hand in the direction of Xu Jiuzhao under the signal of the staff: "Now we invite the first prize winner Mr. Xu Jiuzhao to come on stage!"

There was a low burst of applause, Xu Jiuzhao stood up, nervous but calm on the surface and slowly walked over.

He had never experienced an award ceremony before, although someone had introduced the process to him just now, but when he really arrived at the scene, his nervous hands and feet were a little stiff.

The host looked at Xu Jiuzhao in surprise, and couldn't help but said: "Our winner is really young, and he is really a formidable young man!" Xu Jiuzhao stepped onto the stage, and the host said to him: "Congratulations, you have won the first prize of this innovation exhibition." Waiting for the prize, how do you feel now?"

Although this kind of questioning is old-fashioned, the audience just loves to listen, until it forms an inertial pattern, they don't like to listen, and they have to listen when they get tired of listening.

Xu Jiuzhao took a deep breath and said calmly, "Very nervous."

The host smiled and said, "It can be seen..."

Even if he was nervous, the host couldn't let Xu Jiuzhao pass it off with just three words.When the host was interacting with Xu Jiuzhao and the two on stage, Ma Xiushan who was sitting below was dumbfounded with shock and anger.

He never thought that the award-winning work would be Xu Jiuzhao. Not only did he say a lot of compliments, but he even wrote a review article full of praise last night at the invitation of someone.

Ma Xiushan sat on the spot with a livid face, Xu Jiuzhao on the stage slowly calmed down, and the conversation went on smoothly.

"How did you come up with the theme of this creation?" the host asked.

Xu Jiuzhao glanced at Ma Xiushan in the audience, and said: "My teacher told me when he taught me that traditional ceramic art should be carried forward on the basis of inheritance. The reason why those old classic styles and patterns are loved by the world Love, there must be something special. Beautiful things are never out of date at any time. As long as we make a little change, we can continue to make it loved by the world. I named the exhibited work "Seven Brothers" The theme is taken from the animation program that everyone is familiar with, but the expression method uses traditional craft painting techniques, and now it seems that this attempt is still successful."

The host smiled and said: "Yes, it can be said to be quite successful. To be honest, I was really surprised when I saw the story picture on the blue and white radish bottle that turned out to be Calabash Brothers. Until now, I still feel a little unbelievable. I never thought that the stories of modern creations could be expressed so beautifully on blue and white ceramics, I have to say that your painting skills are very solid."

The host praised him again, and Xu Jiuzhao stood there calmly and smiled, showing neither humiliation nor overbearing, which made people like him very much.

After the awards were presented, Ma Xiushan hurriedly left the venue and called the person who asked for the manuscript yesterday: "Bring back that manuscript! Bring it back to me quickly! I won't post it anymore, and I'll refund your money!!"

The man said in surprise and incomprehension: "But it has already been sent."

Ma Xiushan's head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground: "It's over, it's over."
