Chapter 1683: Triggering Praise and Likes Across the Entire Internet!
Regarding Qin Feng's new livestream title.
The goofy netizens buzzed with discussion:
--【It's starting! The 'rhinoceros-hide lacquerware' segment should officially begin filming!】
--【Feng-ge must have been secretly preparing and planning this for a long time!】
--【Exactly~ this man always keeps such a low profile.】
--【Feels like Feng-ge is doing a very new kind of intangible cultural heritage OvO!】
--【You bet — first there was the 'cyber intangible heritage version' of bamboo-thread porcelain, now there's the 'intangible heritage speedrun version' of rhinoceros-hide lacquerware!】 --【All I can say is, Feng-ge put on one heck of a show~】
In the livestream's camera frame.
It was a shot of the entire Hui-style courtyard.
One could tell the camera was placed very high.
And on the second floor of the courtyard.
Reba and Yang Mi sat in front of the filming equipment.
Da Mimi said: "We're the GoPro guardians today?" Reba replied: "Can't guard for much longer~"
Yang Mi asked, puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Reba said: "I'll tell you after the shoot." At this very moment.
Da Mimi had only one thought in her heart:
Good lord! So you've learned to keep people in suspense from Qin Feng, have you?
And in the livestream's camera frame.
It was Master Li and Qin Feng, at many tables.
Arranging lacquerware pieces at different stages of lacquering.
And Reba and Yang Mi's task today was to give close-ups of these lacquerware pieces at their different stages. After all, from lacquering to air-drying takes at least three to five days.
Therefore, Qin Feng's so-called 'condensing of time'
was essentially showcasing lacquerware pieces from different stages of the process.
Without a doubt.
In this fast-paced internet age.
This approach was perfectly reasonable.
After all, netizens are impatient at heart.
They have no patience to spend a month witnessing the birth of a single piece of lacquerware.
The old artisan was moved to tears!
What the audience didn't expect even more was.
Unlike before.
When introducing rhinoceros-hide lacquerware.
It was actually Reba and Yang Mi, sitting in front of the GoPro camera, taking turns doing the voice-over.
Reba, fairly professionally, explained: "Rhinoceros-hide lacquerware, also called xipi lacquer, Boluo lacquer, tiger-skin lacquer — as early as before the Tang and Song dynasties, artifacts of rhinoceros-hide lacquerware had already been unearthed." Yang Mi and Reba each had a script in hand.
And they took turns shifting the camera's focal length.
Switching between the rhinoceros-hide lacquerware pieces laid out on the courtyard tables.
Then, Da Mimi began reading from her script:
"Perhaps in everyone's understanding, rhinoceros-hide lacquerware imitates the hide of a rhinoceros."
"But actually that's not the case. According to historical records, rhinoceros-hide lacquerware originally imitated the alternating positions of horse saddles and horse saddle pads, the layered patterns produced by their constant friction." Just as Yang Mi read out the words from the script.
Rhinoceros-hide was originally called 'xipi'.
It can be understood as the leather texture on Western people's horse gear.
The prized coloration goes from black to red, from blue-green to purplish, with alternating colors layered upon each other.
Without a doubt.
Qin Feng's livestream pulling off this 'new trick'.
Caught the audience completely off guard, and they shouted 'amazing!'
From start to finish.
Qin Feng and Master Li kept arranging various rhinoceros-hide lacquerware pieces.
And upon learning that millions online were paying attention to and praising 'rhinoceros-hide lacquerware'.
Master Li, who had spent many quiet years painstakingly researching this 'rhinoceros-hide lacquerware'.
Could not help but be moved to tears!
This time, these lacquerware pieces stood in a light where young people could see them!
