Chapter 581 Cultural Relics Restoration Factory

Zhang Lin and Mou De'an would not know. Yin Jun did not know about the Forbidden City Cultural Relics Restoration Factory from a friend.

The boy's impression of the Forbidden City Cultural Relics Restoration Factory all came from a documentary.

"I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City".

This three-episode documentary was originally to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Palace Museum. In the minds of the production staff, it was actually not that complicated, and they didn't think too much after making it.

But once it was aired, "I'm Repairing Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" became an overwhelming word-of-mouth movie, with over 176 million hits and tens of millions of comments on several online platforms alone.

Although the big movie version edited and edited according to the existing materials took advantage of the trend, it only sold 6.22 million in 21 days, but compared to another super popular big movie "A Bite of China", which is less than 2 million, it is also very good. up.

In fact, many Chinese people at this time do not have the mentality to calm down and watch a movie slowly. Instead, watching documentaries on the Internet will make them more relaxed.

This is also the most important reason why documentary films have repeatedly hit new lows at the box office in China.

Leaving aside the movie version, Yin Jun also really likes "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City".

There is no such random sensationalism in the second season of "A Bite of China", some are just the hard work and seriousness in the work. The masters and experts are like ordinary people you usually meet on the street. approachable.

In the seemingly trivial and straightforward narrative of "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City", what is actually hidden is their and our love for cultural relics, history, and pursuit of Chinese culture.

It is this sense of identity with Chinese culture that it can be liked by so many people, including Yin Jun.

Yin Jun didn't think about what to do at first, but Wei Xiaofan said last night that when he came to visit the Forbidden City today, Yin Jun immediately thought of this documentary, the brilliance of it, and the hardships they had in their work .

To be honest, since 1953, these masters were personally invited to the Forbidden City by Wang Yeqiu, director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage at the time, to start various repairs and restoration work, and the treatment was good.

Although they were sent down to herd cattle and work in the middle, they didn't suffer much. After the chaos was rectified, they returned to their jobs immediately and continued to start their work.

All kinds of housing, wages, benefits, etc. I dare not say that they are comparable to foreign-funded enterprises, but they are higher than ordinary public servants. After all, what they do is to maintain and repair national treasures. Don't talk about it, and work hard, it's unreasonable not to give better treatment.

However, compared to the Forbidden City’s current collection of more than 1.3 million cultural relics, which will increase to more than 1.8 million in the next 2105, and the Jinling Museum’s underground warehouse, there are more than 2,000 boxes of cultural relics that were transported back from various places after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. There are still constraints such as too few personnel, too much time spent on various repairs and maintenance, insufficient working conditions and equipment, and insufficient maintenance funds.

Because of these various deficiencies, many national treasures that urgently needed to be repaired and maintained had to be delayed, and the work arrangements were directly arranged for several years or even ten years later.

Especially now, just after the reform, opening up, and opening up, money has to be spent everywhere. The Forbidden City’s funds are very insufficient. Even if there are ticket fees for visiting, there are still various building repairs to compete for funds. For the restoration of cultural relics This one, there is definitely no way to do it well.

Yin Jun sometimes wonders why so many people donate their treasured cultural relics to the country.

Even after 2010, when the moral standards of reform, opening up, and opening up declined sharply, even when the whole people were talking about collecting and making money, many people donated treasures worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, to various museums. It was not what Yin Jun could have imagined at the time.

When he thinks about it, at least you leave it to future generations, or sell it to improve your life and make yourself live better, isn't it good?

If there are so many people donating hundreds of thousands or millions of treasures to the country, what kind of mentality is this?

When he remembered "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City" yesterday, he remembered the hardships of the older generation of cultural relic restoration experts mentioned by those masters, and remembered the insufficient personnel and funds until 2015. I felt like I should do something.

Not for anything, but because he felt that he had to do something for the inheritance of this country's culture.

I don’t need to donate too much, even if it’s only 10 million a year, many of these real masters who came from the Republic of China would not have only restored "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and "Five Bulls" in the 1980s. This is a rare treasure. They still have a lot of energy at this time, and they will definitely be able to restore more treasures and accept many apprentices.

It's not like in "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City", some groups actually have only one inheritor, which is simply too dangerous.

Although cultural relics cannot be eaten or used, it is a kind of spiritual inheritance in it. Every Chinese who visits the Forbidden City, no matter where their nationality is, will be sincerely excited by the brilliant civilization created by their ancestors. Increasing the sense of identity of their Chinese descendants has a great effect on the cohesion between overseas descendants and domestic people.

Coincidentally, Yin Jun is not only rich, he also knows how to recruit students, and he has a lot of connections.

Through "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City", Yin Jun knows that the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts are the two most important bases for providing apprentices for the Palace Museum.

Some people may not understand that the two art academies are not just for cultivating painters.

Among their majors, sculpture, weaving and dyeing and fashion design, mural painting, calligraphy, architecture and other disciplines are all related to the restoration of ancient cultural relics.

Although there are not many graduates in these years, after all, they are only recommended for admission, but there are still many talents living among the people. In addition, the college entrance examination has begun in the past two years, and a large number of new graduates will graduate in two years. It just happens to be able to continuously transport talents into the cultural relics restoration factory of the Forbidden City.

As long as such a virtuous circle is formed, then in the next few decades, the restoration of cultural relics in the Forbidden City will naturally go up several steps, and the treasures of the ancestors will not just disappear in the world.

The leaders of the Palace Museum still attach great importance to super rich people like Yin Jun.

When Yin Jun and the others turned out, besides Zhang Lin and Mou De'an, there were two old men wearing glasses waiting beside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Come on, come on, Mr. Yin, let me introduce you. This is Bao Benshan, the deputy director of our Palace Museum, and this is Ma Chunxi, the director of our cultural relics restoration factory." Zhang Lin introduced warmly, "Bao Old, old Ma, this is Mr. Yin Jun, the boss of Qilin Culture Company from Xiangjiang, and these are his friends."

Bao Benshan and Ma Chunxi have received many foreign guests and overseas Chinese over the years. You can tell that they are not mainlanders just by looking at Yin Jun's demeanor and attire.

Bao Benshan, who had been a soldier, could tell that the burly men behind Yin Jun and the others must be bodyguards.

He has seen many people from Xiangjiang, but it is still rare to see so many bodyguards, at least it proves his identity is not simple from another aspect.

When Bao Benshan and Ma Chunxi heard the report just now, they immediately called the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts to inquire about Yin Jun's situation. They were very satisfied after they got to know it.

This is a super rich local tyrant. If he can get a donation from him, that would be a great thing!

So both of them were very polite. After shaking hands with Yin Jun, they proposed to let Yin Jun visit their workplace.

Although the name is some treasures that cannot be seen outside, this is actually a set of fixed procedures. Basically, distinguished guests will see something different, so the two of them are not considered a violation.

Now Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia were a little tired after walking, but seeing Yin Jun's high spirits, they could only persevere.

Aunt Zhang has recuperated well over the past year, but walking for more than two hours was too much for her, so she was asked to sit and rest in the reception room over there.

The rest of Dong Wei and the others were at the time when they were young and full of energy. When they heard that there were better treasures to watch, they naturally cheered up.

They don't have much culture, but after the tour guide's introduction just now, they also know what a national treasure is. The kind of treasure that is thousands of years ago is really rare in Huajing, let alone Xiangjiang.

At least half of the Forbidden City is not open to the public.

One part is an office for research and restoration, or a place to store treasures, the other part needs to be repaired before opening, or the other part is prepared to be used for rotation with other places.

The third part is usually where distinguished guests can go to see. There are usually more treasures placed here, and they will be taken away and placed elsewhere when the rotation starts.

Bao Benshan and Ma Chunxi acted as the guides. After walking for another hour, the cultural relics and treasures they saw were not too many, but there were quite a few boutique ones, especially the rooms where some concubines and princes lived. I also went in and looked at it, and felt it.

They even saw a lot of places where treasures were repaired, and saw how masters repaired calligraphy, paintings, vases and bronzes.

If the masters hadn’t pointed out some completed and restored cultural relics, they still wouldn’t know where they were restored.

Even Yin Jun, who has watched the documentary, feels that watching it personally is more intuitive.

Yin Jun is like this, a group of people who have never seen these works before, naturally they watched them with great interest, and felt that they were much better than the previous simple visits.

During the whole process, Niu San'er seemed very honest and didn't talk much.

Smart people know when to show themselves and when to hide their clumsiness.

Seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, Bao Benshan smiled and said to Yin Jun, "Mr. Yin, it's getting late, why don't we have a light meal together?"

"Is this not going to bother you?" Yin Jun said politely.

"How do you say it's troublesome? Mr. Yin is a patriotic overseas Chinese. It's hard for us to come to our place. We should do our best as landlords." Ma Chunxi said, "It just so happens that there are two chefs in the cafeteria we belong to. The grandparents used to be cooks in the palace, and they cooked good dishes, which you can't eat anywhere else."

Just now, Wen Bixia felt the royal style, and her eyes lit up when she heard the words, "Brother Jun~ Let's eat here? Anyway, Uncle Wei is busy today!"

Guan Zhilin pursed her lips, "Food, you can't even walk when you see food?"

"It's up to you! Why don't you go back and eat?" Wen Bixia was never afraid of her.

"Do you think I'm stupid? This imperial meal is eaten by the emperor and his concubine. I ate it with brother Jun today, so I can feel it in advance. When I return to Xiangjiang, I can ask others to make it for us." Guan Zhilin said provocatively.

"Cut, don't tell me Brother Jun will give it to me when he has something delicious?" Wen Bixia gave her a blank look, she couldn't see Guan Zhilin treating Yin Jun as her private property, Brother Jun is mine!

"Okay, okay." Yin Jun patted the two women's Fen Zhen with a smile, "Stop arguing, since the invitation is so kind, let's go back after eating... Viagra, what's your opinion?"

"Hey, this is an imperial banquet!" Dong Wei giggled, "Thanks to you, I want to see it!"

Seeing that everyone agreed to stay here for dinner, Niu San'er hurried to Yin Jun's side quietly.

Because of helping Wei Xiaofan with things, Niu San'er wanted to make progress, so he found a Cantonese native to learn Cantonese, and it was no problem to understand most of the words.

He lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Master Jun, I think their posture seems to be aimed at your money. If you eat this meal, I'm afraid it's not in line with human relations if you don't donate something. .”

"Well, I know." Yin Jun nodded, "It's okay."

Niu San'er saw that he understood, so he smiled, "I'm also counting on your blessing today, Master Jun, and I'll have something to brag about when I go back."

"As long as you help my brother Wei wholeheartedly, third brother, then you will have a good life in the future." Yin Jun said with a smile.

"Yes, I know." Niu San'er smiled respectfully, then sat down in the corner.

After he walked away, Yin Juncai turned around and said in Mandarin, "Then I will trouble you, Dean Bao!"

"Okay, you guys sit down first, and I'll make arrangements." Ma Chunxi turned around and left.

He who was treating guests to dinner had a beaming face, and the same was true of Bao Benshan who was left beside him.

Everyone is from Huaguo, so of course they all know that Yin Jun is willing to stay and accept the hospitality, so there must be a gift in return.

In this way, at least half of their wishes will be achieved.

As for how much donations they can receive, it depends on their continued efforts.
