Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Pine Blossom Brewing Wine and spring water boiling tea. Who Wouldn’t be envious
The live broadcast was zoomed in and zoomed in again.
In the camera, Ning Fei’s patch was zoomed in to the maximum, completely covering the entire screen.
Everyone was watching attentively, afraid of missing a single detail.
“This is amazing. I can’t even see any traces of the patch.”
“Indeed. This is exactly the same as the original painting.”
“Is this the place where the painting was repaired? Is it the wrong place?”
“It really is a master. Even after magnifying the painting to this extent, there isn’t the slightest mistake.”
“The ink and lines of this ancient painting are really beautiful.”
The painting was only broadcasted live for more than ten seconds because it still needed to be professionally processed so that the ink from the newly painted areas could be more integrated into the painting.
The half-meter long and twelve-meter wide painting had an area of about six square meters, which was 60,000 square centimeters.
The areas they repaired were about five square centimeters, which added up to 10 square centimeters. Compared to the entire painting, it was just a drop in the ocean.
However, an ancient painting of this level sought to be complete. There were two broken parts, which always lacked some beauty.
Now that Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe had successfully completed the task of restoring the painting, it could be considered a great achievement.
......
“Dear viewers, the restoration of the traditional Chinese painting has ended. What’s next is the painting and calligraphy mounting. This palace museum has the most professional mounting master, so there’s no need for us to do anything else.”
After the restoration of the traditional Chinese painting was completed, Ning Fei felt more relaxed than ever.
His interest was piqued, and he continued to say gently,
“As the saying goes, ‘redecorating a historical site is like prolonging a patient’s illness’. Therefore, the mounting master is also known as ‘Painting Doctor’.”
“If the Doctor is good, he will rise up with his hands; if the doctor is not good, he will die with the medicine.”
“The mounting and restoration work are very particular, and we need to be very careful. Just as Zhou Jiazhou of the Ming dynasty once said, ‘it is better to preserve an old object than to encounter good workers.’”
“Every work has a different method of restoration. If it’s not properly restored, it might cause the painting to fade, and if it’s completely restored, it will distort the painting’s fate.”
“There’s a lot of knowledge in this.”
At this time, there were more than ten million people in China who were paying attention to this restoration work.
Young people loved to watch live broadcasts, while older people loved to watch this kind of art. Therefore, whether it was the live broadcast room on douniao live broadcast platform or TV3 channel in China, Ning Fei’s live broadcast was very popular.
At this moment, Ning Fei gave them a very strange feeling.
A handsome Taoist priest in a white robe finished repairing one of the top ten ancient paintings in China in a mysterious room in the depths of the Forbidden City. Then, he quietly told them some knowledge about the restoration of ancient paintings.
His expression, posture, and bearing were all extraordinary.
His every move had a natural charm.
“This priest... Where did he come from?”
Someone couldn’t help but exclaim.
Because Ning Fei was too stunning today.
Even the master of Traditional Chinese painting, Lin Shanhe, seemed to have become his foil.
“Everyone, this is the end of today’s live broadcast.”
“Thank you for watching.”
Finally, Ning Fei said to the netizens in the live broadcast room. Lin Shanhe also said goodbye to everyone. Then, he turned off the live broadcast.
“Good! It’s so beautiful!”
As soon as the live broadcast was turned off, the director of the Palace Museum, Wang Xu, hurried over with a smile.
Just now, he had carefully confirmed the result of the restoration of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting. There were no problems at all. The two missing parts had been perfectly repaired.
The huge rock hanging in his heart also fell down.
“I have already prepared the celebratory feast. We are just waiting for the two masters.”
“I’ve also transferred the wages of the other two to your accounts. You two can also take a look.”
Wang Xu said with a smile.
The appearance fee for repairing cultural relics, especially cultural relics of the level of the Thousand Miles rivers and mountains painting, was not low.
The palace museum had sufficient funds. The two of them were paid five million each. One had to know that the repair staff in the organization usually didn’t get any money to repair the cultural relics.
Of course, this was also related to the difficulty of repairing the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting. The normal repair staff didn’t dare to guarantee that they would be able to repair and perfect the painting.
After that, the matter of Ning Fei repairing the cultural relics caused a huge wave on the internet.
The discussion about the thousand miles rivers and mountains painting had broken through a million times in a short period of time, and it was pushing for a million times.
The Baidu Search index for related words had also broken through a million times in a single day.
The netizens had really opened their eyes.
It was the first time that they had seen the repair work of a traditional Chinese painting up close.
And it was precisely because of Ning Fei that they had been able to see such a scene.
