My scenic spot is a hit

The little clay figures on the window sill of the conference room were made by Luo Yanning for the leaders of the scenic area when she had nothing to do. newᴄᴏᴍ

Among them, Yang Mimi, the assistant to the general manager's assistant.

"Old Zhang, look at this..."

When Deng Wenjuan saw the clay figurine of Yang Mimi, her small mouth opened so fast that she could hold her own fist.

"This is...this is the girl who just brought us in!"

When Zhang Hongtu saw the little clay figurine pointed by his wife, he immediately recognized it as Yang Mimi, who had just brought them in.

"This hairstyle, these clothes, this expression, these eyebrows, these facial features... are amazing!"

Zhang Hongtu wiped his glasses again, brought them close to the little clay figurine, and praised him for a while.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

With just one glance, Zhang Hongtu knew that the skill of the person who made these clay figures was definitely better than his.

"Lao Zhang, this time we... I'm afraid we're going to fail."

Although Deng Wenjuan is not as famous as Zhang Hongtu, her skills can be regarded as an expert in making clay figurines.

Just from analyzing the works in front of her, she felt the huge gap between herself and her husband and the authors of these works.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. There is no shame in being inferior to others. It is a great pleasure in life to meet a craftsman who surpasses our Zhang family in this life!"

Zhang Hongtu didn't feel disappointed at all, but was very excited.

Before today, Zhang Hongtu was recognized as the "ceiling" in this industry.

Someone has overturned the "ceiling" and raised the upper limit of the craft of making clay figures to another level.

It is a top priority event for the development of the entire industry!

Publicizing and promoting the cause of clay figurines is the mission of “Clay Figurine Zhang Chuanren” in the past generations.

However, after more than 100 years and nearly 200 years of development, the industry of "making clay figures" is still a niche among niches, and it is difficult to achieve scale. There are very few people in China who know about this industry.

There is no shortage of talents like Zhang Hongtu in the clay figurine making industry, but there are few geniuses like these clay figurine creators in front of us!

An industry can only be known to everyone if there are brilliant talents who transcend the times.

Just like Wang Mazi who sharpens scissors, Wang Shouyi Shisanxiang in the seasoning industry, and Lao Ganma in the chili sauce industry.

Mei Lanfang in the opera industry, etc., etc.

If someone with more skill could take the skill of making clay figurines and become popular, they would become popular.

It will also play a great role in promoting and promoting the publicity and promotion of this craft.

Although this challenge may be unsuccessful, for Zhang Hongtu, what he gains is much more than what he loses!

"Each of these works is lifelike. This author is definitely a genius born for making clay figures!"

Zhang Hongtu carefully read all the works on the window sill, then straightened up and let out a sigh. new

"Sure enough, the masters are among the people. Before, our husband and wife boasted of being the top of this industry, which was really a bit arrogant."

Deng Wenjuan suddenly remembered something and said in surprise: "By the way, Lao Zhang, I remember that the person making the clay figurine in the video seemed to be a young man?"

"Yes, he is still a very handsome young man." Zhang Hongtu couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he said this.

Excellent craftsmanship and good looks, these are all important elements to become popular!

In this era where appearance is justice, as long as your appearance is good enough, you can become famous even if your skills are not good enough.

For example, those vases in the entertainment industry, little fresh meat and the like.

Obviously he has no acting skills, his expression is dull, and his eyes are dull, but he is good-looking and has traffic.

Zhang Hongtu felt that he failed to make the clay figure popular, and his appearance had to bear a large part of the responsibility.

If I were one-tenth as handsome as the young man in the video, I might be able to make the clay figurine industry popular.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened with a creak from the outside, and Luo Yanning led Shui Miaomiao into the conference room.

"Are you Mr. Luo from the scenic spot? I'm so glad to meet you! I'm Zhang Hongtu, the descendant of the clay figurine!"

When Zhang Hongtu saw the two people entering the door, he stepped forward to shake hands with Luo Yanning with excitement on his face.

"..." Luo Yanning was confused by Zhang Hongtu's enthusiasm and excitement.

"Hello, Mr. Luo! I am Deng Wenjuan, Hongtu's lover. It's an honor to meet you."

Deng Wenjuan also stepped forward and greeted Luo Yanning eagerly.

"Ahem... Hello, hello." Luo Yanning greeted the two of them with a puzzled look on her face, "Welcome to our Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area."

As the saying goes, you should never hit someone with a smiling face. Although the two of them were rivals who were scheduled to compete, their attitudes were gentle and their words were enthusiastic.

Luo Yanning couldn't stand up to the two of them, as she seemed to be heartless.

"This is..." Deng Wenjuan and Luo Yanning finished shaking hands and stretched out their hands to Shui Miaomiao with a smile.

Shui Miaomiao generously stretched out her hand towards Deng Wenjuan: "Hello, Ms. Deng, Shui Miaomiao is the vice president of Heilongshan Scenic Area."

"Good name, good name. Mr. Shui is really just like his name, the water is flowing."

Deng Wenjuan smiled, shook hands with Shui Miaomiao, and complimented her casually.

Zhang Hongtu also gave a thumbs up and praised the two of them: "Mr. Luo and Mr. Shui have managed the scenic spot to be so prosperous and lively at such a young age. They are really promising young people and are role models for our generation!"

Luo Yanning: "..."

Shui Miaomiao: "..."

Luo Yanning and Shui Miaomiao looked at each other and asked each other with their eyes. new

Luo Yanning: Miaomiao, are you sure these two are the clay figurine Zhang Chuanren who were invited to the scenic spot to participate in the challenge?

Shui Miaomiao: Before I went to find you, these two people were still very aggressive. I don’t know why their attitudes have changed 180 degrees!

Luo Yanning:...

After exchanging a few polite words, the four of them took their seats.

Luo Yanning went straight to the topic and said: "Does Mr. Zhang have any comments or suggestions about the schedule of the competition?"

Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan's attitudes were warm and polite. Luo Yanning could not feel a trace of hostility in them, so her attitude towards them also changed and became very polite.

Zhang Hongtu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to compete, I admit defeat, and I will also admit defeat publicly on my Weibo and apologize to Mr. Luo and your scenic spot."

"This..." Luo Yanning and Shui Miaomiao looked at each other, feeling that the development of things was a bit inexplicable!

We haven't even competed yet, so why do we just admit defeat? Are you even asking for a public apology?

Zhang Hongtu continued: “Before, I was arbitrary and said that your scenic spot was falsely advertised without any investigation.

I sincerely apologize to Mr. Luo and your scenic spot, and hope to get the understanding of Mr. Luo and all the leaders of the scenic spot.

If there is any damage to the reputation of our scenic spot, I am willing to compensate for it. "

After Zhang Hongtu finished speaking, Luo Yanning and Shui Miaomiao were completely dumbfounded.

"This time, a flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple. The whole family no longer recognizes each other."

Deng Wenjuan said sincerely: "Mr. Luo, Lao Zhang and I sincerely apologize to you and hope that you will not pursue our faults again."

The more Luo Yanning listened, the more confused she became. Why did she become "a family" just by talking?

Zhang Hongtu asked with an expectant look on his face: "Mr. Luo, I would like to ask, who is your clay figurine master? Can you recommend someone to us?"

"Me..." Luo Yanning said with an embarrassed smile, "To be honest, I learned it by myself when I had nothing to do at night."

"Mr. Luo is actually self-taught!" Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan were shocked again after hearing what Luo Yanning said!

Judging from Luo Yinning's age, she must have been in this industry not long ago.

To be able to teach oneself in such a short period of time is beyond the scope of genius. It is simply monstrous!

Zhang Hongtu said with excitement: "Mr. Luo, could you please show me and my wife your skills?"

Deng Wenjuan also said: "If we can have the honor to observe Mr. Luo's craftsmanship on the spot, it will be a worthwhile trip for me and Lao Zhang."

"Then, okay!" Luo Yanning reluctantly agreed, turned to look at Shui Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, go to the handicraft department and get me some plasticine."

"Okay boss, I'll come as soon as I go." Shui Miaomiao promised, got up and walked towards the door.

After Zhang Hongtu watched Shui Miaomiao leave, he said curiously: "Mr. Luo, the handicraft department you mentioned..."

"That's right, our scenic spot has recently established a handicraft department..."

Luo Yanning briefly explained to Zhang Hongtu the original intention of establishing the manual department and the progress of the manual department.

After listening to Luo Yanning's narration, Zhang Hongtu looked excited and said: "Mr. Luo's move is of profound significance!

It not only solves the human resources problem in the scenic spot, but also cultivates a large number of talents for our clay figurine industry! It’s really admirable! "

Luo Yanning said modestly: "It's just a matter of hands, making clay figures is a craft that has been passed down by our Chinese nation for hundreds of years.

As future generations, we are naturally obliged to carry it forward, and we cannot let such a unique skill be lost in our generation. "

"Mr. Luo! What you said is so good! Please bow to Hongtu!" Zhang Hongtu was so moved by Luo Yanning's words that he took his hand and bowed.

Luo Yanning hurriedly supported him: "Mr. Zhang's words are serious, and Luo is too embarrassed to live up to his words."

"No! Mr. Luo deserves this tribute!" Zhang Hongtu said excitedly, "Compared with Mr. Luo's outstanding contribution to our clay figurine industry.

There are so many differences between the grand plans, it’s really shameful! In the future, Hongtu will definitely learn more from Mr. Luo! "

"In order to cultivate talents for clay kneading, Mr. Luo worked hard and paid for it. This selfless spirit of dedication to the industry is worthy of my gratitude to Hongtu."

Deng Wenjuan said and bowed to Luo Yanning.

Clay figurine making is an industry that requires concentration, slow learning, and careful polishing.

Moreover, the employment prospects in this industry are also extremely worrying.

It is very possible that you have been learning to make clay figures for several years, but in the end you can no longer even support your family, and you have to find another way out.

Especially young people of this generation either go to factories to tighten screws, or deliver express delivery or takeaway food.

Few people are willing to learn the old-fashioned traditional craft of making clay figures.

Even Zhang Hongtu, the "Clay Figure of Zhang", has only had three or five apprentices over the years.

Moreover, these apprentices do not make a living from this, they all develop it as a hobby.

Luo Yanning trained dozens of clay-making professionals at one time, and also provided them with living security and employment directions.

Although his main purpose is to solve the problem of overpopulation in scenic spots.

But his outstanding contribution to the clay figurine industry is also obvious.

After all, in the future, these dozens of people will be engaged in the clay figurine making industry and will all make a living from it.

Practitioners in the clay figurine industry will see huge growth!

This is a great benefit for the inheritance of the clay figurine craft and the social influence of the entire industry.

"You two are serious..." Luo Yanning waved her hands modestly.

He really didn't think so much about it at the beginning, let alone making any contribution to the clay figurine industry.

He just wanted to find something to do for the idle people in the scenic area, so as not to be said that he only supports idle people!

As soon as Luo Yanning finished speaking, Shui Miaomiao knocked on the door and came in with a few pieces of plasticine.

Deng Wenjuan said politely: "I have Vice President Laoshui, please."

"No trouble, Ms. Deng, you are too polite." Shui Miaomiao greeted Deng Wenjuan and handed the plasticine to Luo Yanning.

Luo Yanning casually opened the package and kneaded the plasticine while saying: "The two of you who have come from afar are our guests of the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Area.

I don’t have much of a gift, so I’ll just make two statues for you two as a welcome gift. "

"Mr. Luo Luo!" Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan nodded. Luo Yanning's proposal was exactly what they wanted.

After Luo Yanning said this, she glanced up and down at Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan several times. After firmly remembering their appearance, she began to concentrate on shaping their bodies.

The plasticine changed into various shapes in Luo Yanning's hands. Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan became more surprised and frightened as they watched.

"So fast, such a clever trick!"

"You can actually pinch your eye sockets like this, why didn't I think of that before!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The shape of the lips is so pinched!"

"..."

Even though Zhang Hongtu and Deng Wenjuan are experts in making clay figurines, they couldn't help but be amazed after seeing Luo Yanning's technique and felt that they had learned a lot.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

It took three minutes and 41 seconds to finish the first clay figurine.

Luo Yanning was the first to win over Zhang Hongtu, whose hairstyle and clothing were relatively simple.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe even if I was killed that someone could create such a similar, realistic and lifelike work in such a short period of time!"

"Mr. Luo is so ambitious in his craftsmanship that I have to let him down! I dared to challenge Mr. Luo before. It's really too much!"

Deng Wenjuan and Zhang Hongtu were completely convinced after seeing Luo Yanning's speed and skills with their own eyes. They were convinced both heart and soul, and they fell in admiration!

Luo Yanning was not proud and continued to pinch the second one, which was the clay statue of Deng Wenjuan.

Deng Wenjuan's hairstyle is much more delicate than Zhang Hongtu's bald head, and her clothing is much more complicated, and the time it takes is more than double.

It took Luo Yanning ten minutes and thirteen seconds to shape the statue of Deng Wenjuan.

"Mr. Luo! Hongtu is convinced! From now on, you will be the ceiling of our clay figurine making industry!"

Seeing the statue of Deng Wenjuan made by Luo Yanning, Zhang Hongtu resigned himself to defeat again.

The portrait that Zhang Hongtu created most in his life was that of his wife Deng Wenjuan.

He made not only a thousand but also hundreds of clay statues for Deng Wenjuan. It can be said that he has become extremely skilled.

But compared with the work Luo Yanning had just made, he was still a little behind.
