"Zhang Qian Stele" is simple, mellow and powerful. It is a representative work among the Han Dynasty inscriptions. Although it has been passed down for a long time and is incomplete, it may not even meet the aesthetics of some contemporary people. But in Li Shi's eyes, Looking across the long river of history, from oracle bone inscriptions to bronze inscriptions, to large seal script, small seal script, and Han Li, he can see the beauty of the changes in the art of writing in the historical development.
Every era has its own words.
The characters of each era will have corresponding calligraphy art and beauty of calligraphy.
They also reflect the temperament and atmosphere of an era.
"If you can see its true face through the incompleteness and look closely at the font, you will see that there are many changes in the squareness, but also a little bit of charm in the simplicity and thickness. It is round inside and square outside, and it is rounded inside and extended outside. It is square but not rigid."
Li Shi went over it again and thought about it carefully, and felt that the harvest was not small.
I picked up the pen again, spread out a new piece of rice paper, and tried to express my thoughts.
In Li Shi's understanding, there are two types of implication: one is imitating the meaning of the original work, and the other is translating my meaning into the body of the original work.
He is a more "self-centered" person and likes to do things like "note me in the Six Classics".
""Zhang Qian's Stele" is a dharma post. When it comes to meaning, it is necessary to grasp the changes in the font structure..."
After writing a few sentences, Li Shi read it again, shook his head first, and then nodded.
"It's a little less heavy and a little more elegant. It's pretty good-looking. It's similar to the style of Yi Bingshoulin's works that I saw when I read the post yesterday."
…
In the next few days, apart from visiting the studio in the morning and paying attention to the progress of the script and casting, Li Shi spent the rest of the time at home studying.
For the time being, I mainly focus on reading, supplemented by writing posts.
This semi-reclusive state made his study efficiency extremely high, and he was full of energy. He was so excited every day that he was so excited until two or three in the middle of the night without even realizing it.
By June 12th, the completion status of the phase tasks is as follows:
(Task 1) Study the theory of hundreds of books - comprehensive reading: 106/106; intensive reading: 82/106
(Task 2) Facing famous writers’ calligraphy—opposite: 45/168; back: 9/168
"During this period, I have made rapid progress."
"My basic calligraphy skills quickly accumulated to the point where they became exaggerated."
"If you want to truly achieve the goal of 'Insert the Six Classics into me', you must first achieve the goal of 'I inject the Six Classics into me'!"
In the afternoon of that day, Li Shi temporarily came out of seclusion and went to his hometown city to participate in the interview for the teaching qualification examination. After finishing the exam on June 13, he went back to the village to visit his mother and stayed for one night. Tian rushed back to the provincial capital and continued to enter a state of semi-reclusion.
On June 24th, the weather gradually became hotter.
That afternoon, after Li Shi carefully read all the 106 theoretical chapters of the book writer, he closed "Qi Gong Lun Shu", poured some ink, picked up his pen, and wrote on the white paper in the style of Qi Gong style. Start writing the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching.
"The Tao can be the Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao..."
Suddenly something happened in my heart. The hand holding the brush stopped in mid-air and directly called up the learning panel——
Name: Li Shi
Physique: 33.9
Wealth: 22.491【Whether to redeem】
Currently learning: Calligraphy (Proficient+)
Learning completion library: etc.
He raised his eyebrows and said with joy: "The promotion is earlier than expected when revising version 2.0. Alas, I still underestimated my calligraphy talent!"
Although he was very happy about the sudden promotion, Li Shi was not too surprised.
With the systematic study and study of calligraphy theory from ancient times to the present, and the exploration of the characteristics of calligraphy art in each era, as well as the development and changes of calligraphy art in the times, his understanding of calligraphy has reached a very high level.
When theoretical learning achieves results, the efficiency and gains of post-writing will also accelerate and increase.
Of course, what supported his rapid growth was his demonic calligraphy talent!
"Like just now, writing the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching three to five times a day, and incorporating what I learned and realized that day into my own writing habits, also plays a vital role."
"This is the most difficult thing to copy."
With a smile on his face, Li Shi continued to incorporate his learning experience of Qigong Style into his regular script, and then wrote:
"A name can be named, but it is not an eternal name... Mysterious and mysterious, it is the door to all mysteries."
After finishing writing, look carefully at the words on the paper. They are tall and steep yet beautiful and even.
Li Shi put down his pen, took out the notebook of his self-created system from the drawer, and opened the modified data——
(Task 1) Study the theory of hundreds of books - comprehensive reading: 106/106; intensive reading: 106/106
(Task 2) Facing famous writers’ calligraphy - Facing: 168/168; Facing behind: 21/168
"When I was intensively studying book theory and studying theory, I unknowingly studied all the 168 calligraphies I selected, which is equivalent to reading all the calligraphy through!"
Li Shi recalled his studies during this period, and various calligraphy fonts suddenly appeared in his mind.
He sat on the chair, lost in thought, and remained in a daze for more than ten minutes. Then he suddenly stood up, brought a new stack of rice paper, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching.
The first time and the second time were written in Xiaozhuan, using Li Si's style.
The third to twentieth times were written in official script, first using the style of "Zhang Qian Stele", then the "Cao Quan Stele" style, then the "Liturgical Stele" style, and then the "Shi Chen Stele" and "Shi Chen Stele" styles. Yiying Monument" and so on.
From the 21st to the 59th time, they are written in cursive script, first in the style of Zhang Zhi's "Champion Tie", then in the style of Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen Tie" and Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie", and in the style of Sun Guoting The style of "Shu Pu" and the style of Zhang Xu's "Four Notes on Ancient Poems", etc.
Later, Li Shi himself didn't know how many times he wrote it. He finished cursive script, regular script, and finally running script.
Some calligraphy styles are written only once, while others are written three or five times.
I wrote from afternoon to dusk, from dusk to late at night, and from late at night to dawn.
The entire study room was gradually filled with manuscripts.
I drink water when I'm thirsty, and go to the kitchen to get some fruit bread to eat when I'm hungry. I also drink two bottles of milk occasionally.
It was around eight o'clock the next morning. Li Shi, who had not slept or rested all day and night, was full of energy and finished writing one hundred and sixty-eight ancient and modern famous calligraphy styles. However, he did not stop, but continued suddenly with a feeling. When he picked up the pen to write, it was still the first chapter of the "Tao Te Ching", but this time, he no longer wanted to say goodbye to the calligrapher, but began to copy his original handwriting - I copied myself!
The me who hadn’t started formally learning calligraphy a few months ago!
"I can say that I have gained the essence of a small number of famous calligraphers in ancient and modern times, and I have some understanding of most of the rest. Now, if we only talk about calligraphy skills and composition skills, looking at ancient and modern times, there are no one who can compare with me. Too much!"
"In the future, I can continue to complete the 'Operation Task' and learn calligraphy from ancient times to the present, so as to enhance my basic skills to a level that is unprecedented and unprecedented!"
"But before that, let's thoroughly digest what we have learned so far."
"You can learn from the ancients and sages, but after all 'I' am 'I'!"
Li Shi felt extremely calm at this moment.
He wrote twice and felt something was wrong, so he stopped temporarily, stood up, and found all his old notebooks, starting with the notes he took when he first got the panel to learn Chinese.
I don’t look at the specific content written, just the words.
He took notes, mostly in running script.
Turn back page after page.
An hour and a half later, Li Shi finished flipping through his recent writing, picked up the pen again, and continued writing.
At first, copy the words from a year ago.
Then, eight months ago, seven months ago, six months ago... one month ago, ten days ago...
Follow your own original handwriting, slowly find your own writing instinct, forget about so-called techniques, and forget about copying other people's fonts.
First I wrote running script, then I wrote some regular script in a regular manner, and then I speeded up and wrote some cursive script.
He gradually forgot what he was doing and just regarded it as when he was in elementary school or middle school, copying homework and completing the dictation tasks assigned by the teacher.
Suddenly, that familiar touch came to my mind again.
The pen in Li Shi's hand stagnated, and he came to his senses. His eyes immediately filled with joy, and he called up the learning panel——
Name: Li Shi
Physique: 33.9+1 [whether to fuse]
Wealth: 23.491【Whether to redeem】
Currently studying: Calligraphy (major-)
Learning completion library: etc.
"It's a professional level, my first professional level! At this point, I'm good at calligraphy. Even if I call myself a calligrapher, I don't have to blush!"
Li Shi lowered his head and focused on the Tao Te Ching he had just silently written.
I can see traces of my previous handwriting, but it is well organized and looks much better than my previous handwriting!
"It's just my running script, but it's hard to tell whose calligraphy I've learned. Well, in terms of writing skills, I still use Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface", Ouyang Xun's "Zhang Han Si Yu Tie", and Mi Fu The "Shu Su Tie" and other three are more numerous."
"It seems that, in today's popular terms, these three posts are the 'natal posts' in my running script. In the future, I will pay more attention to these three posts."
Li Shi was promoted to (professional-) in one fell swoop, and Li Shi was in a good mood. He hadn't eaten much all day, and now his stomach was growling.
At this moment, he wanted to find a place to have a big meal. The study room full of manuscripts looked messy, and he was too lazy to clean it up. He came out of the study room with his turned off mobile phone, turned it on, and quickly called his assistant Zhang Huijing: "Put the work in Call everyone in the room, go to the old place now, order a table of dishes, I will be there soon!"
Although Zhang Huijing didn't know why the boss called everyone to eat at eleven o'clock, she always followed Li Shi's words and agreed without saying a word: "Okay boss, I will take people there right now."
Put down the phone, rushed into the bathroom of the master bedroom, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went downstairs with the car keys.
After entering the elevator, I first said a few words in the "we three" group, and then I couldn't help but habitually sort out my subsequent studies.
After sorting it out for a while, he found that the "calligraphy system" he had made before seemed useless.
If you want to be promoted from (Professional-) to (Professional) or even (Professional+), in addition to continuing to enhance your exaggerated basic skills, the main pursuit is to develop your personal style and deepen the expression of charm, law and interest!
Here it’s more of a creative thing.
"The plan can't keep up with the changes!"
"Oh, it's all my fault for being too talented in calligraphy."
Li Shi giggled and got into the Volvo, drove out of the community and went straight to the restaurant where he used to eat.
On the way, looking at the street outside the car window, he thought to himself, there are many things. Only when you get to this point do you know what the scenery outside the car window is exactly - where to stand to see the scenery at that location!
…
When he arrived at the restaurant, Li Shi first had a table of delicious food and two large bowls of rice, and then talked about the script with the studio's screenwriter Zhao Lingfang.
"Boss, I have already written the third version of the script, but there are a few areas that I still want to polish, so I will probably be able to hand it over to you tonight."
Zhao Lingfang is very subjective. In addition to Li Shi's request some time ago, she will also take the initiative to polish the script more perfectly.
Li Shi felt that he had found a treasure again, so he appreciated her initiative.
Of course, in addition to verbal praise, her bonus will also be increased accordingly based on the quality of the final script.
Li Shi chatted with her for a while, then turned to look at his other "old baby".
Zhang Huijing had been paying attention to him. When she saw this, she immediately said: "I have compiled the personnel information of several main characters into documents and sent them to your work email. I really have no experience in this area and don't know how to choose actors. Only the boss You did it yourself.”
"Well, you worked hard too."
Li Shi immediately logged into his mailbox with his mobile phone, found the document, and quickly flipped through the pages.
There are more than twenty candidates for the male lead, all of whom are local college students in Tanzhou, mostly students from the Biomechanical Vocational College and the People's College. It is obvious that Zhang Huijing and Zhao Lu used their connections at their alma maters to find them.
Li Shi looked through the photos. Judging from the photos, these boys were all decent in appearance, but not too delicate. They were in line with the appearance settings of the male protagonists in the biographies, but which one to choose still required an interview.
He called up the learning panel and took a look.
"Calligraphy is already (Professional-). With my unparalleled talent, (Professional+) is a sure thing, and it shouldn't take long! Then for the final step of promotion to (Grandmaster), we must prepare as early as possible!"
"This step is actually the one I feel most unsure about."
"Next, I will try to create calligraphy works. At the same time, I will shoot the first short story that incorporates some of my thoughts on calligraphy."
Li Shi pondered for a moment and then said to Zhang Huijing: "Let's arrange for these people to come for interviews tomorrow."
"OK."
After dinner, he returned to Phoenix Bay. In the group of "the three of us", Chen Qiuye asked him: "Shitou, are you taking a temporary break this time, or is the retreat over?"
Li Shi replied: "The retreat is over."
Chen Qiuye called immediately: "Great, I'll ask for leave in a minute, and I'll go back to Tanzhou with my sister today!"
Li Shi knew that she missed him too much. He thought that it would take some time to prepare for the actual shooting of the short story, and the next study would mainly focus on creation, so there was no need to stay at home, so he said: "Don't ask for leave, I will I will rush to Yangcheng tomorrow night to comfort you."
Chen Qiuye immediately said "viciously": "Okay, this time I must let you, a little brother who only knows how to study, taste our power!"
Li Shi smiled and said, "Don't surrender when the time comes."
"Whoever gives in first will be the puppy!"
"you sure?"
"..."
After chatting for a while, we hung up the phone.
Li Shi thought of the actor interview tomorrow.
"Among the people I know currently, there seem to be only two people related to film and television. I can ask them about their experience first."
