Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Not even Liu Yu, not even Tong Yang could be convinced by this argument.

Sure enough, Liu Yu sneered and said, "I thought you had some unique insights, but it turns out you were just following the script."

Lin Ran had known that he would be like this. People with skills are like this. It can't be persuaded by just a few words, unless you can show your skills.

He stood up, picked up the Bronze Guanyin, and took a closer look. Sure enough, as he thought, there was a particularly obvious flaw.

However, Lin Ran did not say it directly, but asked Tong Yang to borrow a paper and pen.

He wrote a few strokes on the paper and put it away.

People around him felt that he was just making a fool of himself. Lin Ran handed the note to Liu Yu and said, "I'm not very good at expressing myself. Don't take it to heart. In fact, Master Liu Yu's works are already very superb, and I am also very good at them." admire."

Liu Yu looked confused. There was something he couldn't say in person.

He is a very outspoken person, so he expresses his dissatisfaction directly.

However, I still want to know what problem this boy saw?

He opened the note and frowned at first, but after seeing it, his eyes widened.

Then, he carefully inspected the Bronze Guanyin statue. He had never thought of this before.

Even Liu Yu himself admired the Bronze Guanyin because of its realistic shape and smooth overall shape. He created this work because his daughter-in-law was about to give birth and he wanted to express the joy of becoming a grandfather.

In this case, Guanyin was cast in copper.

But he failed to express this and spent too much ink on the statue of Guanyin. Instead, he missed the child in his hand, whose expression was extremely stereotyped.

This is the core of the entire bronze sculpture!

In fact, Lin Ran does not have deep research on bronze sculptures, but pottery with the theme of sending children to Guanyin has actually appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It really flourished during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

During this period, a large number of statues of Avalokitesvara appeared, forming a unique system of their images.

The statue of Avalokitesvara cast by Liu Yu is actually more inclined to the image in the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" in the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of carving techniques. If it is cast using the techniques of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there will naturally be deviations.

No wonder he has always felt that there is a difference between the works of real masters of bronze sculptures. He just imitates the work of a cat and ignores the details.

To become a true master, you not only need superb casting skills, but also need to study the background of the cast avatar.

He showed an expression of enlightenment and slapped his hands fiercely.

This action startled Tong Yang next to him. He thought he was going to make a move, so he quickly stood between the two of them.

It would do him no good to offend anyone.

However, Liu Yu reached out and held Lin Ran's hand excitedly, with a hint of gratitude on his face: "Mr. Lin, I have been trapped in a bottleneck for so many years, and your words really enlightened me! I don’t know how to thank you enough.”

"No need." Lin Ran smiled slightly. Liu Yu's ability to correct his mistakes after he recognized them was also a skill.

Lin Ran actually admires his casting skills. There are not many such works in the world today. If he can go further, he will definitely become a contemporary master.

His words were not a compliment, and Liu Yu's face was filled with a smile.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your guidance. I will definitely work hard in this direction."

Tong Yang was a little surprised. After so many years of cooperation with Liu Yu, this was the first time he saw him talking to others with such a pious expression. However, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Haha, since you are talking like this Come on, how about I treat you to lunch and let everyone have a good meal?"

Lin Ran quickly waved his hand and refused: "I came here today to find a gift."

"Yeah." Liu Yu directly interrupted Tong Yang's polite words and said, "I just promised you. As long as you can point out one or two, I will introduce you to another bronze statue worthy of a gift."

This was Lin Ran's purpose, and what he just said was just to remind him.

Tong Yang did not expect that a treasure appraiser in Jincheng would actually know something about the casting process of bronze statues. Could it be that he specializes in the research of bronzes?

He only met the person who could convince Liu Yu today.

I used to think that Lin Ran was young and could become Tang Lanxuan's apprentice more or less because of his family connections. Now it seems that he was wrong. This man does have some abilities.

"Mr. Lin, if you have time in the future, you are welcome to come to my workshop. Judging from your hands, you must be a craftsman, right?" Liu Yu asked.

In order not to cause trouble, Tong Yang asked his men to move the Bronze Guanyin back first. If anyone else takes a fancy to it again, there will be trouble.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting in a lively manner, he just happened to step away and could now explain to Zhuang Sheng.

He made an excuse to leave, and at the same time told the store staff that if Lin Ran wanted to check out later, give him the maximum discount.

After Tong Yang left, Liu Yu also got straight to the point.

"Your friend is celebrating his sixtieth birthday, so this bronze statue is perfect. You wait here and I will move it out for you." His expression was serious and somewhat solemn.

He has regarded Lin Ran as his friend, and pointing out the differences in artistic conception to him can help him reach a higher realm.

Therefore, the items he wanted to prepare for Lin Ran had to be sincere.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the backyard.

Lin Ran sat on the sofa and continued to sip Guanyin tea.

I thought that Liu Yuren was not bad, but if it were someone else who was proud of his talent, not only would he not admit his mistakes, but he might find fault with him.

Lin Ran thought he was very good for being able to accept other people's opinions and take the initiative to get valuables.

I am also considering whether to consider bronzeware as a development goal in the future, and then I can consider cooperating with him.

Liu Yu left for a moment and came up with a box.

The box was still covered with red cloth and looked quite heavy.

At the same time, Zhuang Sheng also came back with Tong Yang. Since it was Lin Ran's suggestion, he couldn't lose his temper anymore.

He also wanted to see the bronze statue that Liu Yu said was suitable as a gift.

Tong Yang just walked into the living room and saw the red box, his expression suddenly changed.

I didn’t expect Liu Yu to actually take out this bronze statue!

You must know that this is his private collection, and he is not even qualified to see it normally, but he is so generous and sells it to Lin Ran?

He finally saw Liu Yu's generous side, and admired Lin Ran even more, which unknowingly affected the people around him.

Even through the red cloth, they could feel the difference in this bronze statue.

Zhuang Sheng didn't talk nonsense this time, staring straight at the box, waiting for Liu Yu to reveal the answer.
