Chapter 444: Aren't You Cowardly?
Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost time to arrive at the morning hotel, and the opening ceremony was full of people. Five or six thousand people gathered together the scene is still very spectacular, the crowd is full of voices, are chatting about this exhibition, everyone is looking forward to it, because those masters in the carving world are not you can see each other, this time all the masters in the country gathered, in their hearts than the Oscar ceremony is more grand.
Everyone has their own social circle, and ordinary people chase stars because they feel that stars are high. But in the eyes of the real rich, what is a star? Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the actress who is high above the ice and jade is the plaything under the body of a certain rich man. Because if they want to be popular, they must please many people, and only in this way can they continue to make appointments and make a lot of money.
Engraving is different, many carvers can pay a piece of work for a first-line star and a TV series. Moreover, most carvers regard money as dung, and it can be said that their carving is no longer the pursuit of money, but the pursuit of art.
Art is priceless, and because of this, they are sought after by many wealthy people.
"What's going on, why hasn't Master Zhao shown up yet?" Some people talked a lot, the guest seat was already full, but only Zhao Xiaoning's position was empty.
"Yes, why hasn't Master Zhao shown up yet, I ran so far just to see his demeanor, if he didn't attend, it would definitely be a pity. Another Zhao Xiaoning's brain-dead fan sighed.
"Could it be that Master Zhao can't come because of something, right?" said someone in a low voice.
Hearing the unconcealable regret on the faces of these many people, the name Zhao Xiaoning is already in full swing in the entire woodcarving world, and many people are coming for him, after all, he has created a new genre, he is only sixteen years old, and the future achievements of this kind of person are unlimited.
In fact, many people know that Zhao Xiaoning is very likely to be sealed as a golden knife this time, just because he is young and has unlimited potential. It is precisely for this reason that they will come here, in order to see the master's demeanor, but if he is absent, it is destined to make people feel regret and pity.
Li Hongyuan sat there quietly, unable to see any expression. But he also had a kind of worry in his heart, worried that Zhao Xiaoning would not appear, he turned down the meeting of foreign projects, what was he here for?
Li Hongyuan doesn't like those star artists in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't chase stars, but he fell in love with wood carving in the past two years. And Zhao Xiaoning has also become his most admired idol, he wanted to be a star chaser, but he didn't expect Master Zhao to appear for a long time.
"Impossible, I asked someone to inquire, Master Zhao had already entered Beijing the night before yesterday, and he would definitely participate in this carving competition. Someone whispered.
"Your news is not as good as mine, I heard that Master Zhao will not only attend, but even give a speech on stage at the opening ceremony. The other man looked smug.
"Master Zhao will take the stage to give a speech? No wonder he didn't show up, I think, he should be backstage, right?"
"Master Zhao is really my idol, the first time I attend this kind of large-scale exhibition, I can give a speech on stage, who can do it?"
"Nonsense, Master Zhao has created a new genre, can others compare?"
Hearing people's discussions, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyuan's mouth, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground. looked at Zhao Xiaoning and said, "Good son-in-law, do you hear that?" These people are all loyal fans of Master Zhao, I don't ask you to be worshiped like Master Zhao, but at least you have to learn how to talk to your elders, at least you have to know how to respect me." ”
"Maybe Master Zhao is the same as me. Zhao Xiaoning shrugged.
Li Hongyuan shook his head with a smile: "Obviously, to create a new genre, Master Zhao is at least a calm young man." I heard that he was once imprisoned for the crimes of the villagers, not to mention anything else, just this mind, can you have it? How many people in the world can have it? Can you rob Lao Tzu like a robber?"
The rich people play with the car, and the rich play with the watch.
Li Hongyuan's toy watch was specially designed, and the materials used are all the most luxurious in the world, just say that the twelve diamonds, those diamonds alone are worth two Rolls-Royce. Of course, there are many things in the world that money can't buy.
Zhao Xiaoning struck: "Old man, isn't it just a watch? As for being reluctant to give up like this? Look at your unproductive cowardice, do you look like the richest man on Hong Kong Island?"
"You say I'm cowardly?" Li Hongyuan's eyes widened angrily, wanting to kill someone.
"Aren't you cowardly?" Zhao Xiaoning chuckled.
Li Hongyuan forcibly endured the anger in his heart: "Lao Tzu is too lazy to pay attention to you, a scoundrel, don't spoil Lao Tzu's mood when he sees Master Zhao." As he spoke, he twisted his head to the front, but the corner of his eye was aimed at Zhao Xiaoning's wrist from time to time, and it was obvious that he was reluctant to give up this watch.
Zhao Xiaoning turned a blind eye, although Li Hongyuan was very inconsistent with the image of the old man in his mind, but one thing was undeniable, his vision was still in place. This watch is deeply loved by Zhao Xiaoning, how can he return it to him if he finally grabbed it?
Nine o'clock sharp.
A woman wearing a red slit cheongsam walked to the middle of the stage with a microphone in her hand and announced the opening ceremony.
After that, a middle-aged man in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses took the stage. He is the deputy director of the Beijing Cultural Bureau, and it is necessary to take the stage to deliver a speech at this moment. After all, carving belongs to an ancient cultural heritage, which has been included in the category of national intangible heritage protection, and he has to come to the stage to say a few words anyway. Because with the development of the times, many ancient inheritances have disappeared in the long river of history. The purpose of this exhibition is to promote and disseminate the protection of intangible heritage, and only with the participation of the whole people can we preserve what has been passed down from our ancestors.
After the deputy director finished speaking, the host invited an old man in his seventies, although he had gray hair and a wrinkled face, he was in good spirits. and is the head of the seven golden knives, named Guo Shiwei.
Guo Shiwei burst into thunderous applause, and after speaking a few words, he stepped down.
"Let us thank Mr. Guo again for his speech, I believe that his words will definitely inspire many young generations. The hostess smiled: "Similarly, let us invite the youngest carving master in our country with the warmest applause, and invite Master Zhao Xiaoning Zhao to speak on stage." ”
At this moment, the huge exhibition site erupted in thunderous applause, everyone looked at the left side of the stage with anticipation, and everyone's eyes bloomed with expectation.
