Zhao Quan, a Linke University student, is a master of script killing.
Li Shi first met him at the script killing shop.
Li Shi was quite impressed by him. This young man was a well-spoken person who knew how to get things done. Moreover, his sister who was studying at People's College was quite beautiful. In addition, her sister's roommate was a flight attendant, a beauty with different styles. Together they served as painting models for themselves.
After seeing WeChat, Li Shi thought about this young man's situation. He glanced at Lu Congwei and Zou Die who were taking out their ID cards to check in, and gave instructions to the assistant Zhang Huijing next to him, then typed a reply and went to the lobby. Go to the door.
Now that you meet someone you know, it's natural to say hello.
When I walked to the door, I saw Zhao Quan, wearing a gray overalls and a hat, walking from the left. He was a little dirty and sweaty, as if he had just been doing some physical work.
"Zhao Quan, what a coincidence."
Li Shi took the initiative to say hello in advance.
Zhao Quan smiled and spoke as always: "Mr. Li, it's really you. How could there be such a handsome and handsome person in Tanzhou? It turns out it's really you, the boss. What a coincidence!"
Li Shi couldn't help but feel happy and asked: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Quan pointed to a van parked at the side corner: "I work part-time at an event construction company. The client is holding a wedding in this hotel, and we come over to do the on-site construction."
"How long will you have to work? Do you still have time in the evening? Since we met, I'll treat you to a supper."
Zhao Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wanted to agree immediately, but when the words came to his lips, he still held back: "I think we will have to stay up all night today, boss, I'll treat you to dinner next time."
He really wanted to find an opportunity to get to know Li Shi further, but it was impossible for him to leave his part-time colleagues and go on his own. Fortunately, he responded quickly and specifically said that he would treat him next time, so as to leave a link to contact Li Shi later.
Li Shi nodded: "Okay, let's do it next time. I still have friends inside. Let's talk about it later."
After watching Li Shi enter the hotel lobby, Zhao Quancai turned around and walked towards the van parked on the side of the hotel. After getting in the van, he drove to the back door of the hotel and called his part-time colleagues to come down and move things.
While waiting, he turned to his sister Zhao Lu's WeChat account and sent a message: "My dear sister, do you have any contact with Li Shi, the big guy who drives a Bentley?"
After a while, Zhao Lu replied: "It's not with him, it's with his assistant."
Zhao Quan was surprised: "???What's going on?"
Zhao Lu: “Sister Huijing, Mr. Li’s assistant, and I added WeChat after working as a painting model. It was originally just a matter of likes in the circle of friends. Later, we made appointments to go shopping a few times and found that we were quite able to chat. We’re just like best friends.”
…
Lu Congwei and Zou Die stayed in Tanzhou for two days.
I only went to Orange Island once, and spent the rest of the time studying the half-palm-sized piece of jade with Li Shi, and how to cooperate.
Originally, they thought of selling on behalf of the couple. After all, their career had entered a new stage and cash was a little tight. But after seeing the real thing, Lu Congwei, who had been in this industry for half his life, immediately changed his mind and spent the money directly. Take the money.
The reason involves his master, an old jade carver who always wanted to end his career with a perfect finishing work.
There is a mutually successful relationship between the jade carver and the material.
For jade carvers who have reached a certain level, good materials that meet their imagination are hard to come by.
Lu Congwei made a decision to buy this piece of material and use it to fulfill his master's wish.
Of course Li Shi has no problem. As long as the price is right, he doesn't care what you do with it. Zou Die, on the other hand, is a little disappointed, because this kind of work takes a long time to complete, and it will definitely not be able to catch up with the opening of her Jade Club.
"According to our previous inventory, if this piece of material is untied, we can probably produce a hand of egg noodles and... eight hundred plus six hundred, plus nine hundred, two thousand and three, what do you think?"
Li Shi agreed. The price was within his psychological range. Given their relationship, they had to talk to each other for a while before settling on the price.
He smiled again and gave a thumbs up: "My brother's filial piety towards your master is true. There are still risks when carving out of such good materials."
In the industry, the reality is that this kind of top-grade jadeite material is usually used to make plain noodles, that is, to make things like egg noodles or Fudou Pingankou Wushi brand, which can often maximize the value and make it easier to ship.
Commercially speaking, full carving is definitely not a good choice.
Now the two of them were sitting in the living room of Phoenix Bay's house. Li Shi personally poured Lu Congwei a cup of freshly brewed Mingqian Longjing.
Lu Congwei took it and took a sip, then looked at Zou Die, who was sitting on the sofa not far away, watching TV and chatting with Li Shi's female assistant, and said: "I made my fortune by relying on my master, so I should be filial to him. Yes, and although my master is an old-school jade carver, he is now older, but his skills are still there. In the future, if this piece of material is carved out, it can be kept as a family heirloom... But your sister-in-law is a little disappointed. She is career-oriented and wants nothing more. To get off to a good start, why don’t you take out one of those items you have at the bottom of the box?”
Li Shi refused without thinking.
Making money is making money, but he can't rush to ship goods.
Lu Congwei will receive 10 million of the 23 million first, and the remaining 13 million will be given after a period of time.
This is no problem, the two already have this basis for cooperation.
On Children's Day, June 1st, Li Shi personally drove Lu Congwei and his wife to Huanghua Airport. After returning to Phoenix Bay, he did not rush to read or practice calligraphy. Instead, he took out two mobile phones and logged in to each bank account. Take stock of your current savings.
"ICBC is 72.1 million, China Construction Bank is 12.25 million, Agricultural Bank of China is 12.23 million, 10,000...these add up to a total of: 96.77 million."
"Now the Bank of China account is used as a special account for missionary funds. It used to be 10 million, but now it is 20 million. When the 13 million owed by Lu Congwei arrives, there will be 33 million."
Li Shi came to the study, took out the "Calligraphy Master System Notebook" from the drawer, and began to update the progress of "Task Three": 33 million/1 billion.
He put down his pen and stared at the other three tasks in deep thought.
Of these three tasks, in Li Shi's opinion, the most difficult one is undoubtedly "(Task 2) Reading the Calligraphy of Famous Writers", because his requirement is to memorize 160 calligraphy copies of famous writers from ancient and modern times to the previous "Duobao Pagoda Stele" Degree.
"Even if I am a genius at copying, if I want to finish studying so many famous calligraphy, it will take a lot of hard work, and it will not be possible to achieve breakthroughs in a short time."
“This requires perseverance!”
"For the time being, I still insist on studying twice a day in the morning and evening, each time for more than one and a half hours. During the rest of the time, I will focus on (Task 1: Studying the Theory of Hundreds of Books) and (Task 4: Preparing a Platform for Preaching)!"
"The first task is Gan Shu. I will understand and study the theories of these calligraphers in conjunction with the temporary posts. There is not much to say. This should be the first task I complete."
"As for task four, you can use your skills and work together. Well, it's time for the little assistant who has been trained for so long to be put to use in real work."
Regarding (Task 4), Li Shi has already had an idea in his mind. In the future, he will definitely write books about calligraphy, and produce film and television dramas and documentaries about calligraphy to popularize and promote calligraphy and his own calligraphy. Before that, you can write some short stories and shoot some short stories to practice your skills and build an account on the video platform.
The more fans these accounts can accumulate before their calligraphy studies are promoted to (Professional+), the better. By then, they may play an important role in becoming a "grandmaster".
Li Shi remembered that he uploaded the last series of videos produced by "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide" the day before yesterday. These days, he was busy entertaining Lu Congwei and his wife and practicing calligraphy. He didn't pay much attention to the effect after uploading. He picked up his mobile phone and opened station b to watch it. Take a look.
"390,000 views, and the number of fans on the account increased from 7.3 to 85,000. Well, this series has come to a perfect end."
Li Shi looked at Douyin and found that the effect was not as good as that on Station B, so he added 900 fans.
Taking out the system notebook, he updated the progress of (task four).
In the end, [My Calligraphy Master System Version 1.0] on the notebook became——
Calligraphy (Proficient -), first round of phased tasks:
(Task 1) Study the theory of hundreds of books - Progress: 8/106
(Task 2) Read the posts of famous writers——Progress: 5/168
(Task 3) Saving funds for preaching - Progress: 33 million/1 billion
(Task 4) Preparing a platform for preaching - Progress: 85,000/1 million on Station B; 20,000/5 million on Douyin
…
In addition to funds, the fastest progress is naturally the current focus (task one).
In the past few days, when Li Shi was not talking about business, he studied the theories of ancient calligraphers whenever he had time. He successively compiled Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi Preface", Cui Yuan's "Cursive Script", Zhao Yi's "Fei Cursive Script", and Cheng Gong's "Cursive Script". I have read five works including Sui's "Lishu Style" and Wei Heng's "Four Styles of Script" many times.
In fact, these works are not very long, and can even be said to be very short. For example, Cheng Gongsui's "Li Shu Style" only has more than 400 words. However, their content often uses imaginative modification techniques to describe their knowledge and understanding of calligraphy.
For example, "Official Script Style" describes excellent works in official script as follows:
"Looking up at it, it is as gloomy as the night mist rising in the morning; smoke is floating in the clouds; looking down at it, it is floating like the clear wind and sharp water, and the ripples are written in writing."
Just this sentence, Li Shi pondered for a long time, and also found many official script works handed down from ancient times to assist in the detailed reference.
…
Li Shi took his mobile phone and called Zhang Huijing: "Director Zhang, what are you busy with?"
"ah?"
Zhang Huijing, who was using the computer in the studio to check the information related to the remote monitoring system, thought she heard wrongly. She pulled her phone away and looked at the display on the screen. After confirming that it was the boss's number, she said: "Boss, why are you calling me like that? "
Li Shi smiled and said: "Have you forgotten that your position is the office director of Nebula Dream Studio? Although you were the polished commander before, it will be hard to say in the future. Now you come to Phoenix Bay to pick me up. Let's have dinner together at noon. I'll bring it to you by the way. Let’s talk about the future work plan.”
It was still the same restaurant where they used to have dinner and entertain guests.
In fact, I hosted Lu Congwei and his wife two days ago and also had dinner here.
I asked for a private room and while eating, Li Shi introduced what he wanted not to do, and then arranged Zhang Huijing's work for the next period of time.
The point is to recruit people.
For the time being, we are hiring three people, a copywriter/screenwriter, an editor, and a handyman.
Zhang Huijing: "Boss, who is the handyman?"
Li Shi smiled and said, "I'm just hiring an assistant for you, the office director, to help you run errands."
After saying this, Zhang Huijing understood and immediately said: "Thank you, boss, I will do a good job!"
After dinner, he asked Zhang Huijing to drive him back to Phoenix Bay. Li Shi went upstairs and made a pot of tea. He sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the rushing river outside the window. After a short while, he took his tablet computer and Start reading "Book Break" by Zhang Huaiguan.
Zhang Huaiguan, a calligrapher and calligraphy theorist in the Tang Dynasty.
The book "Shu Juan" describes the origin of ten-style calligraphy and the three grades of calligraphers. Li Shi paid close attention to it when he checked the information before - because this book gives the concepts of three grades of calligraphers: Shen, Miao, Neng and so on. It is very consistent with Li Shi’s artistic perception accumulated from previous studies of literature, photography, painting, etc.
“Whether you are a literary creator or an artistic creator, you must ultimately let your works speak for themselves.”
“Based on Zhang Huaiguan’s theory, calligraphers may be divided into three levels: Nengpin, Miaopin, and Shenpin, which correspond to (expert-), (expert), and (expert+).
Professionally, those who can create divine works (Expert+) are already at the pinnacle, and a Grandmaster, on the basis of divine quality (Expert+), starts a sect and preaches, using his own things to benefit the public and future generations! "
As soon as this thought came out, the learning panel seemed to be touched, and Li Shi quickly summoned it, only to "see" the nebula in the background of the panel flickering and annihilating, then reborn, continuing to annihilate, and reincarnation.
Li Shi was determined. Smiled a little.
Retract the panel and continue to organize your thoughts.
"I don't care how other people define calligraphy or how they define calligraphers. For me, the learning panel has always been demanding. It has always been a combination of theory and practice, and it has to be measured by looking at the entire history of civilization."
"Calligraphy, an art unique to Chinese civilization, is reasonable to be comprehensively measured by 'technique' and 'Tao'."
"With high skills, there is a way, but those with a weak way can only be called nengpin. This kind of work requires more craftsmanship, but if you are skilled in using the pen and are familiar with various changing techniques, you can create calligraphy works of this level. , corresponding to (expert-), by then, I will be qualified to call myself a calligrapher."
"And I study calligraphy theory and copy the calligraphy of various famous writers in order to create high-quality works - in fact, with my calligraphy talent, there is a shortcut to get to this point quickly, but my goal is to learn the recognition of the panel I am a master, so I must lay an extremely deep foundation!”
"Those whose 'Tao' is high and whose skills are average, but whose 'skills' are not weak, are regarded as wonderful works. Such works are based on the calligraphy of Nengpin (expert-), and go a step further, with the opportunity of being accidentally obtained by skilled hands. Creating wonderful works that are not chaotic but whose artistic conception has greatly improved, or extended to a new style...etc., corresponds to the learning panel (expert) level."
"The technique and Tao are both high, the form and spirit are both perfect, the composition and artistic conception are completely natural, so it is naturally a divine product."
Li Shi was about to take a notebook to record his feelings when his assistant Zhang Huijing called.
"Boss, do you still remember Zhao Lu?" (End of Chapter)
