Chapter 17 The Careless Goddess

Meng Ran put down the phone, feeling quite hurt.

Just a set of medium-priced tools cost 28,000 yuan. Including the materials, Meng Ran was only willing to buy 10,000 yuan of gold and silver materials. The remaining 10,000 yuan was used to buy a set of cosmetics with 5,000 yuan.

Yes, although the skill is listed as silversmith, there are many overlaps between silver jewelry and gold jewelry. She can make them just as well. She mainly uses silver and gold as embellishments.

The intra-city express delivery arrived on the same day. Meng Ran couldn't wait to put down his junior high school textbooks and unpack the boxes.

I have to say that the Shen family is quite comprehensive in their work. The tools are arranged very neatly in a box. This box is probably also specially made. It can perfectly put the tools in, put it away and zip it up, and it looks like a suitcase.

Meng Ran can take it everywhere with him.

But now that we have the tools and enough materials, what should we do?

A piece of forehead jewelry appeared in Meng Ran's mind.

Speaking of which, this forehead ornament is also very classic. When she was a child, she watched the Xianxia TV series. Her favorite was not the protagonist, but a supporting role with few subdivisions, even if the protagonist and the supporting role were played by the same person.

However, the jewelry in the human world was made by others, with beads added, but Meng Ran went for the silver jewelry, and did not intend to copy other people's ideas.

After all, let’s not talk about whether you can live with your conscience, this is considered an infringement.

She just wears it in private. The key is that she plans to post it online to earn commercial value, so she can't be found guilty of plagiarism after she becomes famous.

As for restoring and paying homage to that drama, forget it. She has great creativity and the ability. Wouldn’t it be better to be original?

Meng Ran did not rush to take action, but pulled out a piece of paper and drew on it with a pen.

Although she has never learned to draw, she has the skills of a silversmith, so the step of making a sample goes very smoothly. She designs the work by smearing on it, then measures her head and writes down the corresponding data.

Well, this can be considered tailor-made.

Meng Ran took out the crucible, threw the silver nugget in and burned it into silver water, took out a suitable mold and poured out a silver blank, then heated the silver blank and cut it into thin slices, rolled it into round bars, rolled it into round bars, and the like.

After drawing the wire, stamping out the basic outline of the silverware, applying a rubber plate, and then the key point is engraving.

This is the most difficult part, because the production process is the most complicated and the technical content is the highest. You have to use round, flat, crescent and other tools to create the pattern. Whether these patterns are exquisite and vivid enough illustrates the level of the silversmith.

This is the reason why a piece of silver jewelry is worth much more than the silver itself.

Otherwise, why would people spend more money?

This is not simply silver, but a work of art with silver as the carrier.

Meng Ran didn't dare to be careless and worked on it little by little. Fortunately, her hands were very steady. Not to mention the silversmith skills she mastered, she also had very strong hands-on ability.

When she was little, she took apart toys, and when she got older she took apart electrical appliances, from the simplest electric fan to the TV, and put them back together whenever she was told.

The most powerful repairman in their family is not her father, but her.

Two hours later, a complete forehead ornament appeared in front of Meng Ran. It was exquisite, delicate and ingenious. Even without beads, the hanging effect was strong and it had the elegance of tassels.

After polishing and polishing, and then using alum water to remove mildew and dirt, the silver she bought was still bright and there were only a few flaws that needed to be dealt with, so it didn't take much effort.

Finally, it’s a touch of blue and green.

Originally, he chose this forehead ornament because he valued the cold, ice-like feel of silver. Meng Ran didn't use too much paint, just a touch of cold blue to make the whole look clearer.

Meng Ran rubbed her fingers. It was a bit sore for the first time, but looking at the forehead ornament in front of her, she felt it was worth it.

"It's so cool. It turns out it's so cool to have skills."

Meng Ran sighed.

I remember that she was thinking about buying some beads to string up a forehead ornament for herself, but she had never learned how to do it. As beautiful as the picture in her mind was, it was so perfunctory to actually make it out.

Unlike now, her skills allowed her to turn her fantasy into reality.

Meng Ran quickly found free resources on the Internet and tied her hair in a traditional costume. At this time, the temperature of the silver jewelry had dropped, but it was still a little soft, but it did not prevent her from putting it on lightly in front of the mirror.

nice!

Meng Ran looked at himself in the mirror and thought.

Next, she put on the crescent-colored Hanfu that the original owner brought from home, and quickly put on makeup. Meng Ran stood up slowly, and his expression adjusted to a cold and indifferent tone. It really felt like a goddess who was above the nine heavens was looking at her.

"Perfect! It's just a good look. If you don't act in a fairy tale drama, you'd be sorry for the audience."

Meng Ran has a beautiful way.

"Come on, the system will shoot one. You also studied on the crew for two days. Your camera language is not required to be as good as Director Qin's. At least you can't lose too much, like Director Liang. I will post it on WeChat Moments and Weibo later.

If you spread the word a lot, you might get an audition opportunity."

As for people, they don’t have the opportunity to learn how to create.

She couldn't just wait for the path introduced by Uncle Xu and Director Qin.

Meng Ran decided to write a line, just like a ten-second skit produced by some bloggers, but he held his pen in a stalemate for five minutes and couldn't write a single word.

"Forget it." She put down her pen and admitted that there was a reason why her Chinese proficiency was the worst. "System, help me search for a paragraph."

Then Meng Ran explained his request in detail.

The system silently pulled up a section of information, but she turned out to be quite picky, so she asked the system to change a few more sections, and then made her choice. I want them all!

【……】

In this regard, Meng Ran spoke eloquently,

"I'll shoot it first, and then I'll choose which one to post on WeChat Moments based on which one feels most interesting. Others, posting on Weibo and short video platforms, can also be considered to create popularity for me."

At this moment, Meng Ran's proficient acting skills are gone. Her own acting skills alone are still a rookie [35/100], and even after shooting several videos, they don't feel right.

Meng Ran was angry and asked the system to find classic clips and learn from other people's old dramas.

Because her lines were short, she intuitively performed well, but the system projected it, what rubbish!

If this skit is released, it will simply bring trouble to yourself.

Meng Ran was helpless, thinking about whether he had mastered the one-month proficient acting skills he had signed up for, and then it was as if he had opened up the six channels of Ren Du, all over again!

Meng Ran looked over and over, but couldn't find anything worse.

"It seems that my taste is not high enough." She patted her head, "System, you make the choice."

【No.3】

Meng Ran was a little surprised that the system had the same idea as her.

No. 3 is the one with the least expressions, both happy and angry. In fact, it is not easy to stand out, but with skilled acting skills, it will not make people feel paralyzed, boring, and unattractive.

On the contrary, it makes people feel that this is what the goddess above the nine heavens should look like.

No sadness or joy.

As for the curiosity of other goddesses when they first descend to earth, the shyness when they are in love, and the despair of being betrayed by their lovers, although they are all faint, the flavor of the gods is not that strong.

Moreover, Meng Ran felt that the goddess had lived for so many thousands of years and had seen through the Spring and Autumn Period, and no matter how passionate her emotions were, they would have been burned to ashes.

Untainted love is the normal operation. Only the world and the common people can touch her.

"Then this is it."
