Chapter 15 Internet fermentation, constant scolding
"I solemnly declare: There are no tricks in this lottery! After you win the prize, you will give it away directly! There is absolutely no trick to compete with Xixi!"
"If you want to exchange it for small money, I will deal with it through auction"
"Also...about my family...this needs to be kept secret~hehe~"
After Lin Xiao explained the problem, he looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock. It was time to go off the air.
"Dear viewers, I have some things to be busy with these days, so I may not start the live broadcast."
"See you then when the lottery is drawn~"
"Goodbye~"
Lin Xiao looked at the number of people in the broadcast room, which continued to increase, and felt relieved.
The bait has been released, now it's best to hide and let things ferment.
If you continue to live broadcast, you will only face countless questions. Instead of answering them yourself, it is better to let the audience guess by themselves.
The more you guess, the greater the controversy and the wider the impact of the matter.
When the barrage popped up like crazy, Lin Xiao closed the live broadcast room.
And the million-dollar gimmick is already circulating on the Internet.
........
Words like lightning struck wood, warding off evil spirits, and chainsaw engraving have also appeared in various comment areas and social software.
Many people are just looking at it out of curiosity and regard it as a gimmick.
And some of them who are good at expressing their opinions have endless discussions and arguments.
In a forum for sculpture enthusiasts, as the video of Lin Xiao's live broadcast was released, it immediately swept through all the popular sections in the forum.
[Chainsaw carving? Do you all believe this? It must be machine carving~]
[What year is it? Has the Internet just been connected to your home? Some people believe this~]
[That’s right, I still use an excavator to carve~]
[The world is so big that there are many wonders. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.]
[This is the live video of the chainsaw artist, if you are interested, you can check it out]
[Damn...this...is made by AI~]
【nb...】
[This technique...how much wood does it take to saw...]
[This is simply a humanoid engraving machine...]
[Machine carvings are all set back...]
Many wood carving enthusiasts directly jokingly call Lin Xiao: chainsaw artist, humanoid engraving machine, chainsaw human carving madman...
............
The controversy on a certain blog became even more intense.
Many old-school carving masters directly began to criticize Lin Xiao’s carving techniques:
[Absurd! Using a chainsaw to carve wood sculptures is simply belittling the craftsmanship left by our ancestors!]
[Which wood carving is not a work that relies on the hard work of the carver and takes time and effort to complete. Can something like this carved with a chainsaw be called a work of art?]
[If you really use a chainsaw to carve, why not use a machine to carve?]
[I am here to specifically criticize this kind of sensational behavior!]
[Wood carving is not a tool you use to gain fame, but a cultural heritage that belongs to everyone!]
Many young and middle-aged wood carvers are very unconvinced by the criticism of old-school wood carving celebrities.
Among them, the new factions such as Wang Dashou fought back particularly fiercely:
[Old seniors, stop guarding your one-third of an acre of land. If you want to develop wood carving, you can only look forward]
[Let’s not talk about whether you seniors can learn this amazing carving technique, but in terms of the quality of the finished product, it is far inferior to your carving work.]
[It’s not easy for a genius to appear in the woodcarving world, but you suppress it like this? If the founder, Izumi Izumi, knew better, the coffin boards wouldn’t be able to hold it down!]
[It is never the tools that create art, but the heart]
[Look at other people’s works, it doesn’t cost any money~]
.............
The sculptor's main battlefield is filled with smoke, and the people who eat melons are much more harmonious.
In the eyes of the masses, the views of the old and new schools are mixed with many professional terms and are relatively obscure.
As for the artistic component, they can’t understand it either.
They only know a few criteria for judging: does it look good or not? Is it useful? Is it worth the money?
Visually, the sand monk carved by Lin Xiao undoubtedly combines ancient and current aesthetic standards, so it is definitely good visually.
Secondly, the question is whether it is easy to use... The lightning strike wood is specially used to ward off evil spirits, so it is a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits.
Moreover, he is also the golden-bodied Arhat Sha Wujing, and his evil-proofing ability is directly maxed out.
Finally, there is the question of whether it is worth money. This kind of lightning strike wood is already very rare. It is also a small-leaf red sandalwood. Needless to say the rarity.
These three factors determine the degree of acceptance of this work by people.
The most important thing is, it’s free!
No one would refuse hundreds of thousands for free!
Wouldn't it be nice to resell this and get hundreds of thousands directly?
As a result, most people in the crowd supported Lin Xiao, and the situation presented a one-sided spectacle.
In the end, the old-school artist just dropped this sentence:
[Speaking of junk wood carvings, is it because there are so many junk viewers that there are so many junk wood sculptures?]
This immediately set off a huge war of words, and the participants swept into the new and old carvers, and no one was spared.
.............
Finally, even the big collectors came on stage and began to express their opinions:
[In my opinion, this is just a novel carving technique. In terms of artistic content, it is not much different from the current figures~]
[Does anyone still like old-fashioned stuff like Journey to the West? You should collect it, and you should also collect foreign artists~]
[Lightning strikes wood? No one really believes in something like this that uses electricity?]
[I maintain a neutral view. This kind of unconventional thing can often create an era!]
[You can carve this kind of work with only a chainsaw. If you use traditional tools, it’s not as good as heaven? I think the author is very thoughtful and the work is not bad!]
[I am in the collecting world, and I think this kind of rotten wood would be worth 100,000 yuan. Is it still worth a million?]
Among collectors, one collector who is famous for collecting leaks was the most criticized: Ren Chenyun.
He directly rated Lin Xiao's work as a waste of materials, which once again caused controversy.
Many melon-eating people outside the circle couldn't help but become interested in this collector, and the discussion became more heated.
[Fuck...what kind of god is this Chen Yun, who directly denies the work?]
[Hey~ Don’t believe even a single punctuation mark he says. This guy is just a pick-up, but he has really good vision. If you get it in his hands, you can at least double it!]
[F*ck... According to what you said, this person's vision is so vicious, wouldn't that lightning strike wood be scrapped?]
[This... I can't say for sure~ This Ren Chen Yun is very evil...]
