By the time Zhang Junping drove the car to the school, the school had already set up a shed.
The school has a ready-made canvas shed. Just support the steel pipes and put the canvas on it, and that's it.
"What is this? Half a log?"
"This wood is really ugly, it's so dark."
"So thick and long!"
“Is the shed just for this piece of wood?”
"It's Senior Zhang Junping!"
This will happen to be the last class in the afternoon, so there are many students on campus (no matter how many there are, there are only three to four hundred students at Central America, including graduate students.)
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, what's your luck?" He was familiar with Zhang Junping and hurried forward to inquire about the news.
"This is a wooden sculpture."
"So big?"
"It's not bad! The main reason is the material limitation, otherwise I would like to make it bigger." Zhang Junping nodded reservedly and proudly.
"Senior Zhang, you are so awesome! By the way, you study Chinese painting, right? I didn't expect that wood carving is so awesome." The junior student said with admiration.
It's actually not accurate to say that he is a junior. This is his classmate in the same class. It's just that Zhang Junping graduated early and will be a graduate student in the Sculpture Department starting from next semester. Therefore, the former classmate and senior has suddenly become his junior.
"You flatter me!"
"No, no! I'm not flattering you. This wood carving you made is so good and exquisite!" The junior blushed and said very seriously.
Zhang Junping said a few more polite words before leading the group to continue walking forward.
Director Gao of the school's logistics department was also there. When he saw Zhang Junping coming, he hurriedly came over to greet him.
"Classmate Zhang, the awning has been erected. Take a look at what else needs to be corrected!"
"Director Gao, I'm causing trouble for you!" Zhang Junping said politely.
"No trouble, no trouble, you are the pride of our school!
With Classmate Zhang, when I go out and brag to others, my voice is louder than usual!" Director Gao smiled brightly.
After being polite with Director Gao, Zhang Junping asked people to carry the wooden sculpture into the shed.
Entering the shed, Zhang Junping frowned.
"Director Gao!"
"What's wrong, classmate Zhang, what's inappropriate and needs to be corrected?"
"Director Gao, you are too kind. I just have a few suggestions."
"you say!"
"You see, the light in this shed is a little dim because it blocks the sun. My wood carving is dark in color because it is made of Hainan huanghuali.
So, the dim light affects the visual effect, do you think we can add some lights in the awning?" Zhang Junping said politely.
"No problem, it's a small matter, just arrange for someone to add lights!"
Director Gao was very quick and quickly asked someone to pull wires and add six lights on the roof of the shed.
At this time, the school radio rang, and a crisp and beautiful voice came from the radio.
"Good evening, teachers and classmates!
Zhang Junping, a current student of our school and a member of the China Art Association, spent half a year carefully creating the giant wood sculpture "Morning in Wangfujing" which will be exhibited in the small square of our school.
"Morning in Wangfujing" is a giant wooden sculpture that reflects the great success of my country's reform and opening up through the scene of workers on Wangfujing Street going to work in the morning.
The far-reaching intention, magnificent length, and exquisite production have been unanimously recognized and praised by Dean Wu, Dean Yang, and Professor Tian of our school...
Dean Wu even commented that "Morning in Wangfujing" is no less than "Along the River During Qingming Festival"...
I hope teachers and students can observe in an orderly manner."
Initially, the construction of the awning attracted a lot of people's attention, and then Zhang Junping's move of giant wooden sculptures attracted a lot of people. This time, the school-wide broadcast attracted the attention of all the teachers and students in the school.
They are all curious about what the two deans and one professor have given positive reviews, and what kind of works are on public display throughout the school.
With little effort, the wood carving was surrounded by teachers and students from CAFA.
"Holy shit!"
"Fuck!"
"Awesome!"
“Plath is awesome!”
(The above is purely fictitious.)
"Senior Zhang is so awesome!"
"Yes, this carving skill is simply amazing!"
"It is indeed a work that the dean praised highly, I am convinced!"
"Wood carvings can be made like this, which is really not much worse than "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"."
"No, I think it's better than "Along the River During Qingming Festival"!
You see, each of these characters is only two centimeters in size, but each expression is lifelike. The most amazing thing is that each person's appearance and expression are different.
This is micro-carving, and such carving skills are definitely master-level."
"Not only the ones you mentioned, if you look carefully, these bicycles are also different.
There are Phoenix, Forever, Flying Pigeon, and Golden Deer, and the most amazing thing is that you can clearly distinguish the old and new of these bicycles." A middle-aged teacher in his thirties holding a magnifying glass heard the conversation between the two people and stood.
He stood up and said to the two of them.
"Really? So powerful?"
"More than that, if you look closely, none of the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside are the same.
Also, the shops on this street are all 100% restored."
"Okay! Zhang Junping, I'm really impressed after three days apart! You are so awesome now! I will follow you from now on!" Someone patted Zhang Junping on the shoulder and said loudly.
Zhang Junping turned around and saw that it was his counselor Ye Lilong.
"Teacher Ye, please stop making fun of me!"
"Don't call me teacher, call me senior! You are much better than me now, and I don't dare to be your teacher." Ye Lilong waved her hand and said with a hearty smile.
Ye Lilong's personality is very much in line with the characteristics of Beijing people, and she is very generous and straightforward in everything she says and does.
"Okay, then I will call you Senior Sister Ye from now on!" Zhang Junping also changed his words readily.
In fact, Ye Lilong, the counselor, is a few years older than them, and she has always played the role of a big sister in the studio.
"It really took you half a year to make this work?" Ye Lilong asked curiously.
"No way! It only lasts for more than a month, but Senior Ye, you have to keep it a secret for me. If others ask, it will only take half a year." Zhang Junping said in a low voice.
If others ask, Zhang Junping will naturally not tell the truth, but Ye Lilong has always taken good care of her predecessor.
When Zhang Junping first came to Beijing, except for the clothes he just bought, all his clothes were patched.
How could Zhang Junping, who has such a strong self-esteem, have the nerve to wear such clothes on the CAFA campus?
I can only wear one set of clothes, wash them at night and wear them during the day. Sometimes they don't dry, so I can only wear semi-dry clothes to class.
After Ye Lilong found out, she sold him two so-called second-hand clothes.
They said they were leftovers from his younger brother's clothes, but no one in the family wore them. They were piled there to take up space, so they were simply sold to him at a cheap price.
Fifty cents, two pairs of old clothes including shoes. Those old clothes were probably never worn, only washed.
Zhang Junping shouldered this responsibility for his predecessor.
