Chapter 667 New Local History
"This is purely a coincidence." Zhou Zhi told everyone the whole story of how he met Fu Xia, and finally said: "Although Fu Xia's level is still limited, I can Controlling the quality of the translation is mainly due to her equal and even admiring attitude towards my Chinese diet, which is the key to translating this book."
"There is no way around it" Zhu Da. Zhang actually has a good reputation. After hearing this, he couldn't help but feel depressed: "No foreigners come to admire my photography. It seems that overseas exhibitions are impossible."
"Isn't the response to the last provincial exhibition very good? "Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "The next step is to go to the National Exhibition and become a 'nationally famous photographer' first."
"Actually, I just said it for fun, how can it be so easy to fool..."
"In fact, it's not difficult." Zhou Zhi put down the water spinach he picked and drank another cup of oolong tea handed over by his third brother: "I have an idea, so that you, third brother, can become a nationally renowned photographer within ten years."
< br>"Ten years..." Zhu Dazhang thought for a while: "How to do it?"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Record history."
"Record...history?"
"Yes, the next ten years will definitely be the most drastic social changes in the history of our nation. If you use a camera Record it and exhibit it ten years later, it will definitely shock the whole country.”
“Many things will disappear from society as the times change, but they can be fixed in film.”
“Brother Da Zhang, your photography skills are now very good, and now you just need to capture a theme. Form a work."
"Now you and Miss Sixth Sister are not broke, so you can take a vacation every year to go out and record the whole country. With the changes in various places, you can even purchase the negatives of influential photography works every year from your colleagues as a collection category of your own.”
“I think it will have an impact if we hold it for an exhibition ten years later. The strength is at least national level."
The reason why Zhou Zhi said this was inspired by a story he saw in his previous life.
Vivian Maier Story.
Vivian Maier was a nanny who lived on the streets of Chicago from the 1950s to the 1970s. Her hobby was to quietly walk through the streets of various cities after work, capturing all the vivid images. moment.
She has never shown the photos to anyone, and it is even impossible for her to develop all the films she took - after all, the amount is too large.
Until 2007, a large number of negatives she took were discovered by local Chicago historian John Maloof, who posted them on his blog and held an exhibition for them, which soon caused a worldwide sensation.
Vivian used her own perspective to lock more than 20 years of history of a representative American city into more than 100,000 pieces of film. There is no doubt that this is a kind of record of local history. New way.
The mode of "street photography" has also become a new way of expression in photography.
"There have been great changes over the years." The family itself is the best example, so Zhou Zhi's words were recognized. Zhu Dazhang nodded: "It's just a waste of film, and now we can't afford it."
The weather in Manzhou is hot and humid, so everyone is used to eating cold porridge and cold dishes at night. In recent years, of course, there is more beer.
Miss Liu moved quickly and prepared a large table with cured meat and braised meat. The hot dish was a few stir-fried vegetables. Everyone drank and chatted in the garden.
This is also the common life of people in Jiachuan nowadays. In the past, it was impossible to sleep peacefully without playing until it got cold. Now, although Sister Xiaoliu’s house has air conditioning, the old habit has not been lost. Except for Xiao Nunnong, everyone They are all night owls.
During the dinner, the sworn brother talked about his understanding of the photography works hung in the office by Miss Sixth Sister. Now he scratched Zhu Dazhang's itch and pulled Mr. Qiao into the room to chat and introduce his inventory.
But Brother Yu was constantly urged to get married by his old man, and he looked hopeless. Xiaoliujie wanted to show off her role as a sister, and was concerned about Zhou Zhi's studies. She wanted him to study hard, and it would be terrible if he was delayed like this summer vacation.
Mr. Yu couldn't help but laugh: "How good would it be for me to hear these words from Xiaoliuqian back then? I wouldn't even be able to get into a medical school! And my education would be better than others."
“ Dad, you are too partial!" Xiao Liu said angrily, "I just want to push him hard because he is not good at studying! Is it wrong for me to ask him to study hard? I can't help him! Said him? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, that's not bad." Zhou Zhi handed Sister Xiaoliu a braised duck paw: "I did waste some time studying this month. I will make up for it in the next month."
"But it's okay." It's not in vain, I also found some good things in the capital this time." After that, he went into the house and took out two brocade boxes: "A gift for Miss Liu, and a tribute to the old man."
"What is it?" Sister Xiao Liu was a little curious.
When Zhou Zhi opened the box, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He forced himself to give face to his brother and said, "It turns out to be porcelain. We are still short of bottles for flower arrangements at home..."
"Just your words , It’s none of your business.” Mr. Yu took out his glasses and put them on, then took out a pink celadon-glazed Cong-style bottle, turned to the bottom of the bottle and looked at the bottom of the bottle: “I was shocked! I want to say that I can’t accept this thing..."
"This time I went to the capital to help the Gan Provincial Cultural Relics General Store identify a fake, and by the way I met Director Liao of the Gan Provincial Department of Industry." Zhou Zhi explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then said: "I won a "Batch five-character Jianguo porcelain and 7501 engineering porcelain"
"This imitation of the Song Dynasty Longquan pink celadon glazed cong-style vase, the base is the work of Jiangxi Jianguo Porcelain Co., Ltd., which was the first company in Jingde. Ying Porcelain Factory was established one year and two months before the founding of the Republic."
"So it is almost the earliest national porcelain in our country."
"This craft is absolutely amazing!" Although he said he would not look at porcelain under the lamp, the old man could not put it down after looking at it: "The taste of this glaze is absolutely right!"
He held up his hand and said: "The weight is also right."
"I asked Liao Ting that this was the soil made of 'talc' that was used back then. It is the best remaining kaolin material."
"Agate was added to the glaze formula, imitating it to the greatest extent from the Song Dynasty. Characteristics of glazes, fired The resulting shadow is thin but not light, moist but not floating. Only when you look at it in the daytime will you know how beautiful the glaze is.”
“This is even more beautiful than the Yongzheng imitation glaze! Even now, it's still better than this Slippery, it would be really hard to tell if you put a deposit on this thing!"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "That's impossible. In addition to the glaze color and the texture of the tire, this tire is still a glutinous rice tire. It just means using the process of devitrification glaze , surpassing the level of Yongzheng's imitation of Song porcelain, but it is still different from the incense ash body of real Song porcelain. "
"If you use the craftsmanship and glaze water at that time to get the body right..."
"There are also things like that. For example, the Shanghai Museum has two imitations of Jingde porcelain given by the No. 1 Factory. Except for the small tooth marks on the glaze joint, which retains the characteristics of the imitation, the other features are almost the same as the originals. "
"Actually, the same goes for this piece of porcelain, please touch here..." Zhou Zhi asked Mr. Yu to put his hand on the glaze joint and feel it.
"Jagged feeling."
"And here." Zhou Zhi asked the old man to touch the bottom circle again.
"Light grass bottom."
