Several golden knives were also thundered by Zhao Xiaoning's words, because what he said was too direct, so direct that it insulted the sacred profession of carving, after all, it is very vulgar to talk about money many times.

The reporter has thought about a lot of questions, but Zhao Xiaoning did not play according to the routine, which has already disrupted his thinking.

Zhao Xiaoning continued: "I know it's vulgar to talk about money, but don't forget that money is indispensable on the road to chasing dreams, although money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible." For example, I love carving, I love it to the core, and I can even steal, rob or even sell my family's house for carving, is this correct?"

Many people were silent when they heard this, because there are many people like Zhao Xiaoning said in this circle, no, to be precise, there are such people in many industries.

Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams, but is it really necessary to fight and work hard for those unattainable dreams? Even if the dreams come true, is it really worth losing all the results?

"Therefore, I would like to tell some friends who love carving, everything must be done within their means, especially carving, this industry not only needs to endure loneliness, but even needs to have strong funds as a backing. ”

"As the first golden knife in the carving industry, I shoulder the mission of promoting and inheriting carving. But what I want to say is that what I'm trying to do is not to fool everybody in, but to tell everyone how difficult it is because there are many things that you can't imagine. ”

"Master Zhao, can you give us an example? Can you tell us about this way of learning the scriptures?" a reporter asked.

"For example?"

"Like what inspires you to create, and how much time you spend. ”

Zhao Xiaoning thought for a while and said, "In order to create this work, I pondered for several hours, and it took four or five days just to carve. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence at the scene, and everyone was stunned. It took four or five days to complete this piece of scripture? I'll go to your uncle, when did the carving become so light?

"Is this what you call difficult?" the reporter asked blankly, a little confused.

Zhao Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Slip of the tongue, it's four or five years." ”

Everyone looked at him quietly and didn't speak, four or five years? How old were you at that time? Your rise in the woodcarving world was only within half a year, and it was only more than three months since you announced the sealing of the knife, okay?

Zhao Xiaoning said embarrassedly: "Okay, okay, don't worry about this detailed problem! I don't recommend people who don't have the ability to mix in this circle. Well, yes. ”

"Oh, by the way, I just said I was short of money, right? Since there are so many people here today, I'll make an announcement. I plan to carve twenty jade carvings in twenty years, so anyone who can afford me can come and talk to me. ”

Zhao Xiaoning's words are already very clear, this is to take orders in public. Receiving orders is very common in the circle, but few people are as clear as Zhao Xiaoning, and no one only takes twenty orders like him.

For a while, many people were moved, of course, only moved, because everyone knew Zhao Xiaoning's reputation in the carving world, and they also knew what appreciation space his works represented in the future. If you want to get one of his works, you must have money, you must know that there are only twenty lists, and the price of each list will be ridiculously high, which is not at all something that ordinary people can have.

Time passed, and many people looked around the exhibition area, and they all had their favorite works, and they all voted for their favorite works.

Zhao Xiaoning's way of learning from the scriptures is good, but the work is small, although the artistic conception is very sufficient, but more people value the carving of the work itself. So he didn't get a lot of votes, but the second place was still very promising.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the votes will be announced. At this time, several media had already come here, and the people who came to watch the exhibition also gathered at the opening ceremony, and a large number of people gathered in Wuyang.

"Is it finally time to announce the votes?

"Which master's work do you like?"

"Master Liang Weiliang's thousand-armed Guanyin is a must!"

"Yes, that work is natural, not to mention winning the Divine Craftsman Award, it is very likely to win the Heavenly Craftsman Award. ”

"Master Liang Wei doesn't make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, he will be a blockbuster!"

"Master Liang's thousand-armed Guanyin is certainly amazing, but I personally still like Master Zhao's path of learning scriptures. Journey to the West is my childhood dream, and although the jade material is only the size of a palm, the artistic conception it exudes has brought me into that dream. It's a pity I only have one vote!"

"I like Master Zhao's way of learning from the scriptures, although his work is not finely carved, but the artistic conception is enough, the key is that it is Master Zhao's first jade carving. The first jade carving is so exquisite, in terms of price, even two thousand-armed Guanyin can't compare. After all, this work is Master Zhao's first work, and the three words "first" alone can double the price of this work. ”

The onlookers talked a lot, most of them were optimistic about Liang Wei's Thousand-Armed Guanyin, and there were many older people who liked Zhao Xiaoning's way of learning from the scriptures. As for the others, few people have mentioned it, because everyone knows that the winner of this year's Divine Craftsman Award will be born between Zhao Xiaoning and Liang Wei.

"Seriously, it doesn't matter how many votes you have, the most important thing is to look at the attitude of a few golden knives. You know, they all have a veto!"

"What's the matter, are you still worried about shady? Don't be funny, I believe others when you say it, but don't forget that Master Zhao is the No. 1 golden knife in China! Who dares to play shady with him?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. ”

"There are two sides to everything, what if Zhao Xiaoning plays tricks? If he vetoes Master Liang Wei, then the winner of this year's Divine Craftsman Award will be his. ”

"That's not without a possibility!"

"Impossible, Master Zhao is the first golden knife of the Engraving Association, how could he do such a shameless thing for the sake of the Divine Craftsman Award?"

Just when people were talking, the host appeared on the stage, she held the microphone in her hand, wearing a white cheongsam, and felt like a classical beauty.

According to the rules, the next time is to announce the first, second and third prizes of this exhibition. The first to be announced was the third prize winner, Master Yan Caoyi's Zhong Kui Demon Suppression. ”

Many people have no doubt about this result, after all, whether it is the thousand-armed Guanyin or the way to learn the scriptures, it is all about Zhong Kui's demon.

Seeing that the third place has been announced, many people are frozen in their breath, and you must know that the second place is next. The announcement of the second place is equivalent to the announcement of the first place. Everyone wants to know who can win the Craftsman Award, Zhao Xiaoning or Liang Wei.

At the front of the guest seat, Liang Wei clenched his fists, his eyes were a little nervous, but more than that, he was still looking forward to it.

"The next thing to be revealed is the second prize winner, who is Zhao Xiaoning Zhao Master. Master Zhao has just crossed into the jade carving world and made a masterpiece like the road to learn from the scriptures, which is really a genius, and I think he will definitely win the Tiangong Award in time. Let us give the warmest applause to Master Zhao and thank him for giving us a different journey to the west. ”

The applause was not intense, because some people didn't like this answer, because some people really hoped that Zhao Xiaoning could win the first place.

Of course, there is also someone with a smile on his face, and that is Liang Wei. He was smiling, as if he saw the trophy of the Divine Craftsman Award flying towards him.
