Live footage, zoom in, zoom in again.
In the lens, the repaired area by Ning Fei was magnified, completely covering the entire screen.
Everyone watched attentively, for fear of missing a detail.
"It's amazing. I can't see any traces of repairs."
"Indeed, this is exactly the same as the original painting."
"Is this where the repair was done? Did I take the photo in the wrong place?"
"He is really a master. He can enlarge the painting to this extent and there is still no difference at all."
"The ink rhyme and texture of this ancient painting are so beautiful."
The painting was only live-streamed for more than ten seconds, because it still needs some professional processing to allow the ink marks in the newly painted areas to be better integrated into the painting.
A painting half a meter long and twelve meters wide has an area of approximately six square meters, or 60,000 square centimeters.
The areas they repaired were almost 5 square centimeters each, adding up to 10 square centimeters. Compared with the entire painting, the area was just a drop in the ocean.
But for ancient paintings of this level, the pursuit is completeness. There are two broken places, which always lack some beauty.
Now that Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe have successfully completed the restoration task, it can be considered a great achievement.
"Dear viewers, the restoration work of the Chinese paintings is over, and the next step is the mounting of the paintings and calligraphy. The Palace Museum has the most professional mounting masters, so there is nothing more for us to do."
After repairing the traditional Chinese painting, Ning Fei felt more relaxed than ever.
He became interested and continued to speak gently:
"As the saying goes, 'heavy decoration of monuments is like a disease that prolongs the healing process'. Therefore, the master of framing is also called the 'painting doctor'."
"If the doctor is good, he or she will die; if the doctor is not good, he will die with the medicine."
"Framing and restoration work are very particular and need to be done with great care. As Zhou Jiaxou in the Ming Dynasty once said: 'If you don't have good workmanship, it's better to keep the old things.'"
"Each work has a different restoration method. If it is not restored properly, it is likely to cause the picture to fade, and complete repairs will also distort the luck of the painting."
“There’s a lot of depth to it.”
At this time, more than ten million people in China are paying attention to this traditional Chinese painting repair work.
Young people like to watch live broadcasts, while older people like to watch this kind of art. Therefore, whether it is the live broadcast room of DouNiao Live Platform or China TV3, Ningfei’s live broadcasts are very popular.
At this moment, Ning Fei gave them a very strange feeling.
A handsome Taoist priest in white robes, in a mysterious room deep in the Forbidden City, repaired one of the top ten ancient paintings in China, and then quietly told some knowledge about the restoration of ancient paintings.
His expression, posture, and demeanor are all extraordinary.
There is a natural charm in every gesture.
"Where did this Taoist priest come from?"
Some people couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because Ning Fei is so amazing today.
Even Lin Shanhe, the master of Chinese painting beside him, seemed to be his foil.
"Everyone, today's live broadcast ends here."
"Thank you everyone for watching."
At the end, Ning Fei said to the netizens in the live broadcast room, Lin Shanhe also said goodbye to everyone, and then he turned off the live broadcast.
"Good! So beautiful!"
As soon as the live broadcast ended, Wang Xu, director of the Palace Museum, rushed over with a smile.
Just now, he carefully confirmed the restoration results of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". There were no problems, and the two missing areas were perfectly repaired.
The boulder hanging in his heart also fell.
"I've prepared the celebration banquet, I'm just waiting for the two masters."
"I have also paid the salary of the other two people to your account. You two can also check and accept it."
Wang Xu said with a smile again.
The cost of repairing cultural relics, especially cultural relics of the level of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", is not low.
The funds of the Palace Museum are still very sufficient, and the remuneration for two people is 5 million each. You know, the restorers who are usually in the establishment have no money to repair cultural relics.
Of course, this is also related to the difficulty of repairing "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Ordinary restorers really can't guarantee that they can repair and perfect this painting.
After that, Ning Fei's repair of cultural relics caused huge waves on the Internet.
Discussions on "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" have exceeded one million times in a short period of time, and are approaching tens of millions of times.
The Baidu search index for related words also exceeded one million times in one day.
Netizens were really eye-opening.
It was the first time that they saw the repair work of a Chinese painting at such a close distance.
And it was because of Ning Fei that they could see such a scene.
"The only difference between Ning Guanzhu and an old artist now is the word 'old'."
"This is truly a great artist."
"I can paint the white snow in spring, and I can paint people in the lower reaches of the country. Ning Guanzhu is really a god!"
"Songhua brews wine and spring water makes tea. Who wouldn't envy this kind of life?"
He was showered with praise online.
After Ning Fei discovered the repaired cultural relics, the popularity of his system also grew rapidly.
It seems that because of this incident, netizens' favor for him has surged.
By the time I finished repairing the Chinese painting, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
The Palace Museum arranged for him to stay in a guest house. The environment of the guest house here is very good, no worse than that of a big hotel.
But Ning Fei lived in the room, and his thoughts were all about the little guys in the Taoist temple.
"We have prepared enough food today, so they won't be hungry."
"The people who delivered the wooden house materials should arrive today. I told them the address of Nanhu and asked Lao Li to sign for it. I don't know if Little Bear was scared by them."
Ning Fei thought secretly in his heart.
Having just finished repairing the ancient painting, Ning Fei knew that there must be news about him everywhere on the Internet.
But he was not interested in these news. What he was thinking about was his own Taoism.
In the evening, Liu Tianzhi came to his room and asked a few questions about traditional Chinese painting.
This man was very humble and polite, and Ning Fei answered some questions simply.
Liu Tianzhi learned a lot more and then left.
The next day, Ning Fei got on the plane from Kyoto to Qincheng early, and then rushed all the way to Qingfeng Temple.
Before entering the Taoist temple, the live broadcast was already on.
Ning Fei used the key to unlock the door and pushed open the door of Qingfeng Temple.
As soon as he opened the door, the four little guys, Xiao Falcon, Xiao Fox, Xiao Quan, and Xiao Fei, stood in a neat row, waiting for him at the door.
Xiaofeng was also flying not far away.
I don’t know how long I waited to get rid of them.
When they heard the movement outside the door just now, the little guys became very excited. Now as soon as the door opened, the little fox jumped into Ning Fei's arms. The puppy was wagging its tail crazily, and Xiao Fei was running around Ning Fei's feet, chirping.
Xiao Falcon landed on Ning Fei's shoulder, and Xiao Feng landed on the other side.
The little guys at Qingfengguan gave Ning Fei a warm welcome.
Ning Fei held the little fox in his arms, stroked it, and then put down his luggage under the welcome of the little guys, planning to rest for a while.
Seeing this peaceful scene, netizens were particularly envious.
"I have a golden retriever at home. Every day when I go to work, the golden retriever will be waiting for me at the door. It feels really good to see it when I get home."
“There are a lot of troubles associated with owning a pet, but those troubles are nothing compared to the joy you get.”
"I'm so envious. As soon as I return to the Taoist temple, there are so many little guys to greet me."
"Little Fox and the others still don't know how big a sensation Guanzhu Ning caused yesterday."
"No matter how Ning Guanzhu is outside, for the little foxes, Ning Guanzhu is their only master."
"Yes, animals will not like their owners more because of how powerful they are outside, nor will they abandon their owners because they are penniless. Their hearts will never change."
In Qingfeng Temple, Ning Fei was teasing a few little ones, and the live broadcast room was still a familiar scene to netizens.
Ning Fei fed the little ones some food, and then went to the kitchen to cook a big meal. After resting for a while, he planned to take the little ones to Nanhu again.
It's still not very clean outside, it's very noisy, and it seems like the fans haven't left yet.
Not long after, two workers knocked on the door and came in. It was Ning Fei who contacted a surveillance store in Qincheng to install two surveillance cameras in Qingfengguan, one facing the outside and one overlooking the entire yard.
He can also see the two monitoring situations in real time using his mobile phone.
The reason why surveillance was installed was, on the one hand, Ning Fei was worried that there would be too many people outside and someone would be bold enough to break in through the wall. With surveillance, he could guard against villains.
On the other hand, when Ning Fei is out occasionally, he wants to see what the little guys are doing.
The installation of the monitoring system was very fast, and it was almost completed within an hour.
A few people came to visit Ning Fei along the way, and Ning Fei responded politely.
While installing the surveillance system, Ning Fei was also packing his things and putting them in the off-road vehicle, planning to live in Nanhu for a while.
"We will be living in Nanhu for the next few days, so you guys don't want to run around."
Ning Fei said to the little guys.
Hearing Ning Fei's words, the little fox twitched his ears and immediately ran to his pet house and ran out with Luo Xiaohei's doll in his mouth.
From the looks of it, the little fox wants to take the doll with him on vacation.
Ning Fei took the doll, looked at the little fox, smiled gently, and said:
"Okay, bring whatever you want to bring with you."
"Everyone at Qingfeng Temple is going on vacation!"
