City: Start from participating in the Appreciation Program

Chapter 125 Two Designs
It's just that the big one is definitely more difficult.

As for why he brought two pieces of jade, and why he had to take the bigger one first, Hu Mingwei naturally had his own intentions.

Hu Mingwei deliberately handed this large piece of jadeite to Luo Fan, and said, "Master Luo, what do you think of this stone?"

This big piece of jade is very famous, because of its unique characteristics, it was also a trump card in the trading market at the beginning.

Hu Mingwei has actually purchased this piece of jadeite for several years, but due to the difficulty of the design, he sought out several masters but failed to come up with a satisfactory solution.

Either these plans failed to bring out the characteristics of this stone, or they were a bit too ordinary, so that this stone purchased with a lot of money could only be left as ashes at home.

Hu Mingwei also became the laughing stock of others because of this piece of jade, and the arrogance of spending a lot of money at the beginning was called stupid.

The purpose of Hu Mingwei taking out this stone is also very simple, just to suppress Luo Fan's arrogance.

Luo Fan's confident appearance was seen by Hu Mingwei as arrogance, and he planned to suppress Luo Fan's momentum so as to gain the initiative.

When Luo Fan backed out, he took out another piece of jadeite, this Luo Fan should obediently use his best strength to help him design?

Maybe I can take the opportunity to lower the price, as long as I can reach the level of the pair of dragon and tiger pendants, this business will not lose at all.

Although it would take a long time to continue like this, the emerald design is not something that can be completed in a few clicks. Anyway, he has nothing to do recently, and he can afford to wait in City C.

Luo Fan took the piece of jade and looked at it. It was the most prominent piece of yellow leather, with light yellow yellow leather on the outside, and a very high-quality jade in the middle.

However, judging from the opening of the window, although the jade inside the yellow skin is of high quality and very icy, it has a fatal flaw, that is, there is too much cotton.

Proper use of cotton is the finishing touch, and improper use can be said to be flaws.

In addition, the design of this material generally needs to be combined with the outer yellow skin, and it is impossible to wear it all off to check the internal situation. Therefore, the difficulty of design can be said to be very large.

After all, inexperienced designers may not even be able to detect the general appearance of the interior.

Luo Fan used the power of truth on this piece of jade, and soon got an optimal solution and two feasible solutions.

Now that the result has been obtained, Luo Fan said flatly: "This piece of jade has some characteristics, and the design is a bit difficult. So..."

Hu Mingwei took it immediately and said, "So, Master Luo, you want to refuse?"

How did Luo Fan feel? Hearing that he might refuse, this Hu Mingwei was even happier than himself, and said speechlessly: "So, I can only give you the design plan tomorrow afternoon."

What?Why is Luo Fan's answer different from what he imagined? How difficult is it to design a plan for me tomorrow afternoon?
Generally, emerald design takes one and a half years, and the shortest time is one and a half months. Hu Mingwei felt that Master Luo was joking with himself, saying that it was difficult, and at the same time, he could design a plan for himself tomorrow.

You know, this piece of jade is a recognized intractable disease!
The reason why Hu Mingwei came to Luo Fan this time was because he wanted to learn. The emerald design is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight. When discussing with the master, he can undoubtedly learn a lot.

However, this Luo Fan actually told himself now that the design plan will be produced tomorrow afternoon, he must have heard it wrong.

Hu Mingwei asked suspiciously: "Master Luo, I didn't hear what you said clearly just now, please repeat it again, when can you give me a design plan?"

Luo Fan looked at Hu Mingwei sympathetically, thinking to himself, this young man is only a little older than himself, why did he suffer from deafness at such a young age.

In order to take care of a deaf young man, Luo Fan repeated it very loudly, saying:
"I mean, this piece of emerald has some special features, and the design is also a bit difficult. Therefore, I can only give you the design plan tomorrow afternoon."

In fact, Luo Fan can also draw it now, but he feels that it is completely unnecessary. This Hu Mingwei always looks at him suspiciously, and he deserves to be asked to run one more time.

Hu Mingwei never imagined that the time he thought was extremely fast was not at all Luo Fan's real speed. If his attitude was better, Luo Fan could give him a live painting performance.

Luo Fan thought for a while, and added another sentence: "Also, your piece of jade needs to be placed with me for a day, and let me design it according to its characteristics."

"If you mind, I can watch it under your nose, but in this case, the design progress will be much slower."

After making sure that he heard it right, Hu Mingwei said with confidence: "Yes, then this piece of jadeite will be placed with Master Luo first."

"However, the ugly words are up front. If you plan to do any processing on this jadeite, you need to ask for my permission first."

Luo Fan nodded and said, "I'm the emerald designer you're looking for, not a carver. Why should I process this emerald?"

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go first, I still have something to do here."

Now that Luo Fan has issued an order to evict guests, it is impossible for Hu Mingwei to stay here any longer. He picked up his backpack and planned to leave.

However, after leaving Luo Fan's field of vision, his eyes immediately became playful, thinking that Master Luo was still young.

In his opinion, Luo Fan's so-called design drawing tomorrow is completely fooling him, and it is estimated that he will send himself away with a random design by then.

Because Master Luo is young, his skin is a little thin. Although he can't design a plan, he still insists on giving himself a garbage design.

When the time comes, it will be the problem that I don't want, not the reason that Master Luo can't design.

This is also a common method used by some masters when encountering jadeites that cannot be designed, and both parties are tacitly aware of it.

As for why the results will come out tomorrow, it seems that it is because he does not intend to waste each other's affairs, and intends to solve the problem of the emerald design as soon as possible.

But this is also in line with Hu Mingwei's expectations. At that time, he only needs to say that the design drawing this time is not suitable, and Master Luo will borrow the donkey from the slope to push the problem on himself.

Then I took out the piece of jade that really needed to be designed, and this time the design invitation was almost completed.

No matter how clever Master Luo is, he would never have thought that the piece of emerald I gave him at the beginning was not the goal of this design at all.

Then, if he pressed the price again, Master Luo would definitely accept it directly.

When it comes time to seriously design, the two of them will discuss the concept and ideas of the design from time to time, and learn from each other a little bit, isn't it perfect?
Thinking of this, Hu Mingwei felt that the main purpose of his visit today had been achieved, so he left contentedly.

He purposely found a hotel that was relatively close to Luofan Villa, just to facilitate the two of them discussing the design of the emerald from time to time later.

……

The next afternoon, Hu Mingwei came to Luo Fan's villa as scheduled. After drinking a cup of tea that was not very tasty, he asked straight to the point: "Master Luo, how is the design of this piece of jadeite?"

Luo Fan pointed to the small table next to him, and said, "The emeralds and blueprints are all placed on it, you can see for yourself."

Hu Mingwei was thinking, this master Luo is still trying to be brave, and wants to see his garbage design by himself, and suddenly showed a tacit expression, saying:

"Master Luo, there's no need to read this, why don't we go straight to the topic?"

"actually……"

Just when Hu Mingwei was going to say that he actually had another piece of jadeite for Luo Fan to design, Luo Fan interrupted him directly, saying, "Theme? Isn't it the theme if I help you design this piece of jadeite?"

"It's you, I worked so hard to design it for you, what does it mean if you don't even look at it?"

"If you come to amuse me, just go, I don't want to see you!"

This is a plan that Luo Fan spent 10 minutes devising. Hu Mingwei didn't even bother to look at it, and even said something that got into the theme, which made Luo Fan blown away.

Well, you are a master, you are amazing, and you are still angry if I don't act with you.

Hu Mingwei had no choice but to laugh apologetically, and said, "Master Luo, that's not what I meant."

"You're right. Your design is the main theme. I'll see it right away."

After Hu Mingwei finished speaking, he picked up a design draft next to Jade. He wanted to know what kind of rubbish Luo Fan would give himself to perfuse himself.

And it's still the kind of rubbish that doesn't work if you don't look at it, and gets angry if you don't look at it.

However, when Hu Mingwei opened the design draft, he was dumbfounded. The first thing he saw was a very mighty tiger. The artist had nothing to say, and even had a vivid feeling.

As a three-dimensional sculpture, the design drawing is of course not that simple. Next, there are several other detailed design drawings. As long as these design drawings are combined, a very three-dimensional picture of a tiger going up the mountain can be obtained.

The finished picture is placed at the end. This is a white tiger going up the mountain, with the aura of looking down on everything, it is facing a round of red sun in the distance, roaring for a while.

Moreover, according to the details drawn by Luo Fan, this is a white tiger, and the fur made of cotton can be seen at a little distance, which makes up for the defect that the middle is all white ice and has no color.

There are even some heavier cottons that have been ingeniously carved into the stripes of white tigers, as if this is a real white tiger.

The location of this cotton is also similar to the location that Hu Mingwei once spent a lot of money to detect. It is hard to believe how this Master Luo saw the distribution of cotton in the reminder.

Didn't this master Luo just scribble casually?
This is a very powerful design draft. If it is carved according to this design draft, there is absolutely no problem in wanting to win an award.

This design draft is even more powerful than Hu Mingwei's previous designs from so-called top masters.

Especially in the depiction of this tiger, Luo Fan's level is very good, not only using light to carve the white tiger's fur skillfully, but also fully highlighting the tiger's awe-inspiring aura.

Hu Mingwei was ecstatic, he had picked up a treasure, this Master Luo was countless times more powerful than he imagined, no matter the quality or speed of the design, no one else could match it.

Moreover, this master Luo seems to be particularly good at designing animals. The dragon and tiger pendant in the past and the three-dimensional tiger now are very vivid.

As long as he recognized Master Luo's strength, Master Luo's strange behavior became very reasonable, and it was not at all what Hu Mingwei thought about himself.

It's no wonder that Master Luo was angry. He thought about taking out another emerald without even looking at his carefully designed plan. This is simply a blasphemy to Master Luo.

However, what makes Hu Mingwei a little uncomfortable is that according to Master Luo's design speed, he probably has no possibility of stealing a teacher.

And there is no need for people to discuss with me at all, how dare I point fingers at such a masterpiece.

After seeing Luo Fan's terrifying strength, Hu Mingwei let go of the last bit of luck in his heart, and said sincerely:

"Master Luo is simply a genius. This design seems to have taken the world away. It's so perfect that it doesn't look like it was created by human beings."

"I've decided. I'm going to use this design to carve this piece of jade. Maybe I can win the first place this time."

The previous master Luo was just Hu Mingwei's polite words, but this sentence is his sincere words from the heart.

As for why he didn't have 100% confidence in winning the first place, it wasn't that Hu Mingwei didn't have confidence in Luo Fan's actual plan, but that this kind of animal design was born with disadvantages and couldn't convey too much meaning.

Sometimes, the meaning contained in these entries is much more important than the engraving.

Perfect doesn't look like it came from the hand of a human being?Are you beating around the bush and calling yourself inhuman?

It's just that, seeing Hu Mingwei's sincere praise, Luo Fan was too embarrassed to argue.

Luo Fan nodded and said, "It's fine if you're satisfied, but it's too early to make a plan, why don't you scroll down?"

After being reminded by Luo Fan, Hu Mingwei discovered that there was something under the design draft. Master Luo actually made more than one design draft?

Since ancient times, the easiest way to deal with cotton is to design him as snow, and Luo Fan's next design plan is around the theme of snow.

Chengmen Lixue is the theme that Luo Fan wants to express. The sculpture of this painting is much simpler, but the theme is more profound.

The difficulty of this design lies in the overall design, the overall layout and the use of cotton. Luo Fan has solved these, and Hu Mingwei only needs to follow the carving.

This is a completely different design from the picture of the tiger going up the mountain just now. It directly overturns Hu Mingwei's idea of ​​Luo Fan. This is not a designer who is good at animals. This picture of Chengmen Lixue is not bad at all.

No, it should be said that there are still some gaps. There are less carvings and more intentions. It can only be said that each has its own merits.
