Chapter 1716 Intention to Cooperate
In addition to the body of this gourd being cut in half, even the handle of the gourd was cut open. Since the handle of the gourd has a certain curvature and twist, this made Zhou Zhi Even more amazing is how this effect is achieved.
Lessoage tugged at Zhou Zhi’s sleeves, walked to the side and whispered: “It’s glued later.”
“Take the raw vines, cut them open, restore the bundled shape, and dry them in the sun. Then stick it on again?" When Zhou Zhi said this, he immediately understood that the handicraft of the gourd is called a gourd, and the processing process is still very complicated. The most difficult part is to keep the handle of the gourd, commonly known as the "faucet".
A gourd with a faucet and a gourd without a faucet are two different things in terms of value.
The premise is that it is natural, but it is not possible to stick it later, so it is preconceived before Zhou Zhi.
If it could be post-glued, there would be too many ways to do it. Anyway, it would not be obvious when it is finally processed into lacquerware. Zhou Zhi almost understood the process in the blink of an eye.
Lessoague quietly gave Zhou Zhi a thumbs up, which meant that you were right.
With this "faucet", this gourd can be regarded as a handicraft. Even the porcelain from the Jiukou Township Steamed Bun Kiln is sold to international friends for 500 yuan each. Of course, such an exquisite craft gourd cannot be cheap. .
In the end, this craft gourd was bought by Matsui Zukou for 3,000 yuan, and Jin Chunyi also took a fancy to the two rhino lacquer paintings on the wall. This one is much cheaper, and only one painting is needed. Thousands of dollars.
Although Zhou Zhi is the initiator, he is not very interested in these works. After all, this kind of creation method has relatively few human factors and cannot meet Zhou Zhi's requirements.
However, he spent 8,000 yuan to buy the original oil painting on canvas of Lesoage's "Love in Liangshan" tile painting at the train station, and spent 1,000 yuan each to buy the other two Oil paintings "Mother" and "Snow Mountain".
This is Zhou Zhi’s first time collecting oil paintings, but although he has never eaten pork, he has seen too many running pigs.
Collection of calligraphy and painting is very simple for laymen, that is, famous artists and famous paintings.
A famous painter must have enough fame. What is enough fame? That is, they have won national or even world-level awards, have many masterpieces, preferably in series, have many works collected by national museums and important places, have many paintings published and reported in important national publications, etc. Standard...
Famous paintings are naturally those representative works that have been reported, won awards, or are full of stories and can be hyped. It is best to be the representative works of the painter at his peak.
According to the standards of later generations, Lesoage can still only be regarded as a young painter, but his ethnic minority status, academic background, and personal talent have made some of his works collectible.
"Mother" is based on Yi mothers. The picture only shows the back of a mother carrying her child on the red earth. The mother's tall dished head and scattered hair under her neck cover her body. The Erwa cloak, the little head wrapped in a red kerchief exposed above the cloak, the mother's three-section two-color pleated skirt, and the thick winter cloth boots all clearly express the Yi identity of the mother and the child. .
Different from many themes that express mothers, this mother’s body is very tall and straight, and her steps are very firm. It seems that for the sake of the child on her back, any hardships and hardships are not worth mentioning in front of her. The entire painting The painting is full of a strong and persevering spirit.
It is indeed a work that won the Ministry of Culture’s Second National Star Art Works Excellence Award.
Most people don’t know about this award, but it actually belongs to the highest government social and cultural award established by the state. It is mainly awarded to mass cultural workers and amateur literary and art enthusiasts.
This award includes seven categories including fine art, calligraphy, etc., and a maximum of five works in each category can win the award. Especially in the previous years of the award, the weight is quite heavy. This painting was Lesoage's "first" work. He was still a student at the time, but he became a professional after graduation and was no longer eligible for the award.
But having said that, being able to win this award before entering the academy is enough to illustrate his talent.
The other painting "Snow Mountain" is his famous work. In the foreground is an old Yi man with dark skin, reflected in the strong sunlight. His face is full of deep wrinkles, and in each wrinkle is written Full of stories.
The background of the old man is a snow-covered hillside, not a distant view but a close shot, which shows that this painting does not use snowy mountains as the distant background, but shows that the old man is standing on the snowy mountains.
The old man's eyes are completely hidden in the shadows caused by the eyebrow frame due to the sunlight. Because of this, the picture appears deeper.
This work won the first prize at the Second Ethnic Minority Art Festival, and its weight is equivalent to the one just now.
Although the original work "Love in Liangshan" was not submitted to the exhibition for evaluation, it is full of story-telling just because it was selected as the iconic decorative painting of the train station, enlarged and fired on the ceramic tiles.
But in terms of fame, Lesoage is still only a slightly famous "local painter", and the price Zhou Zhi can give is already very reasonable.
Like the equally famous "Jiazhou School of Painting", the paintings of Zhang Daqian's disciples from another generation are almost as famous as Lesoage. One of his traditional Chinese paintings now only costs two to three hundred yuan. Zhou Zhi has already considered oil paintings. The particularity and size of the painting, the awards and reports surrounding it, and the story-telling aspect have made it possible.
It cannot be compared with the situation in later generations.
As expected, Lesoage was very happy. Zhou Zhi’s visit brought him an income of less than 20,000 yuan. In an autonomous prefecture that is generally poor, today’s income is more than 60% of the autonomous prefecture’s income. People, their combined income in ten years is not that much.
Of course, the purpose of taking Brother Dayong and the two foreigners around and back is naturally more than that. Zhou Zhi also wants to take them to Li Yutang to give him reassurance.
In the large conference room of the autonomous prefecture government, several parties jointly signed a letter of intent for cooperation.
There are multiple letters of intent.
One is the acquisition plan of Zhengchang Food Company, a package plan to reform the system, solve employment problems, introduce production lines, and produce Zhengchang buckwheat soy sauce, Panxi sun-dried vinegar, and Saturday lady mushroom sauce.
It is impossible to complete this plan only with the size of the original factory. Therefore, the previously randomly invested saltwater mushroom production line will be dismantled at the original site, and equipment will be introduced to expand the scale and continue to produce soy sauce and sun-dried vinegar. But this time I am no longer used to supply and marketing cooperatives, so I use bottles for everything.
The remaining needed factory area will be built on the seaside in the suburbs. The state government will allocate a piece of land to the group, with three connections and one level. The mushroom sauce production line will be built there, and together with it, there will be Cold storage for both dry and fresh use.
The next step is the second cooperation intention. The state government, Qingshan Airport, and Saturday Food Group have reached an agreement on aviation cold chain transportation. In addition to Qingshan Airport, the group will also invest in the construction of a cold chain transportation facility in Shuangliu, the capital of Shu. Cold chain warehouse is used to ensure the entire cold chain transportation.
