In the past few days when Li Shi returned to Tanzhou, in addition to continuing to write his self-composed seven-character poem, he also spent time and energy getting to know the circle of calligraphy.
In addition to finding people with similar interests online, I mainly learned from Editor Wang of the publishing house.
The more he learned about it, Li Shi discovered that this circle seemed to be similar to the traditional martial arts circle. They were both polarized, with either too much official flavor or too much Jianghu flavor.
He immediately gave up the idea of actively approaching the circle.
"Anyway, we are not short of money and we are not seeking profit. In today's era of information explosion, it is good to play with ourselves first."
"Next, I will continue to follow the previous plan, while deepening my basic skills and finding my own style in creation; while slowly promoting my calligraphy through various media channels today, I will also contribute to the popularization of calligraphy."
"The focus now is to quickly turn that poem into a satisfactory work."
Li Shi's idea is good, but it's hard to say anything about creation.
Just like Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection", it is said that after Wang Xizhi sobered up, he was not very satisfied with the traces of corrections and wanted to write a better version, so he wrote it many times later, but after writing it, it failed. Not as good as the draft version he made at the party.
Li Shi also faced a similar dilemma.
Until July 5th, he wrote the poem no less than two hundred times, but in the end he never came up with a version that made him particularly satisfied.
I always feel that these works, even if they are the best, are still short of breath.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to try Zhang Jingyi's character substitution method.
So in the next two days, he asked Zhang Jingyi for a lot of advice.
That afternoon, Li Shi felt good, so he went to sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, dialed Zhang Jingyi's phone number, and started psychological construction with her help.
Then I tasted Mingqian Longjing alone for a while, looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, adjusted my mood to the state of Gujing Bubo, and started psychological suggestion, imagining that I was the hero in the story, and that I experienced everything in the script. :
At the beginning, he gave up the beauty of his first love and got the fame and fortune he wanted. But as the years passed, he found that what he originally pursued was not that important. Instead, it was the throbbing of his boyhood deep in his memory that made him He became more and more haunted.
He regretted his original decision more and more, and his longing for his first love deepened day by day. Finally, he couldn't hold it back anymore and returned to his former hometown, trying to find the beautiful figure in his dream.
But things have changed, and the girl who used to practice calligraphy with him is now a wife and mother, living a happy life with another man.
Sorrow and sadness welled up in my heart unconsciously.
Li Shi was depressed. He fell into the drama. Full of regret, he walked slowly to the desk and wrote:
I can't help but miss you every day, and my mind is in turmoil.
…
Put down the pen and read again.
The content of the original poem was revised in many places due to the excitement of emotions, and the whole poem's intended expression has undergone relatively large changes.
"The previous one was more about longing and regret. This change has made me a little more open-minded... My own outlook on life is different from that of the male protagonist in the story. I am more open-minded than him, um, and more positive. Be optimistic, after all, wherever we go, the sun shines."
"This can be considered as a way of cultivating the truth under false pretenses."
Li Shi was so happy that he looked at the calligraphy carefully and couldn't help laughing proudly.
In terms of composition and technique, the calligraphy in this painting is not particularly perfect. It is an emotional work, and it is inevitable that there are some imbalances in the control of the writing. But precisely in this way, the emotions are expressed and the emotions are publicized.
"Very good, really good! In addition to the beauty that hits your face, you can also faintly feel the emotions carried by each stroke."
"The rhyme, method, and meaning of this painting are skillful in calligraphy, and what stands out is the three-point true feeling. In history, it is enough to be considered a masterpiece!"
Li Shi felt that he was vaguely grasping something, and quickly turned off his phone.
Sitting on the chair, looking at the calligraphy on the desk, thinking:
"Freehand brushwork rises from emotion to the expression of interest and feelings."
"This kind of expression cannot be rootless, it must be based on technique."
"And the bottom line of everything is beauty."
…
For a long time, Li Shi had a thorough understanding of the entire creative process, and something was immediately touched in his mind!
He quickly called up the learning panel——
Name: Li Shi
Physique: 34.9 [Fusion or not]
Wealth: 23.491【Whether to redeem】
Currently studying: Calligraphy (major)
Learning completion library: etc.
"Promoted from (major-) to (major)!"
Calligraphy creation also depends on status and opportunity.
(Professional-) is a calligrapher who can create exquisite works.
And the upper limit of (professional) is a wonderful product!
"For calligraphers with general ability (professional), wonderful works are always hard to come by, but I have a learning panel to support me with a permanent certificate! As long as I follow effective creative ideas and methods, I should be able to compare Producing wonderful works steadily!”
"And with this wording guarantee, after the film is produced, I can finally use it... The entry skills taught by the school girl are quite useful."
Li Shi remembered that Zhang Jingyi had been helping him analyze how to get into the role day and night these days, and immediately sent her a WeChat message: "I succeeded! Thank you!"
Zhang Jingyi finished the work at hand two days ago and entered a resting state. She has been waiting for news from him. After seeing WeChat, she immediately sent a voice message and asked: "Congratulations! So, I can see you after you join the drama. A work of creation?”
She was so helpful to him, so Li Shi was naturally willing to show her the work, but he did not want to spread the image data of this work for the time being, so he typed: "When you come over and see the real thing directly, I plan to do it tomorrow. Take the troops to your hometown. As my assistant director, you should come over as soon as possible. (Smiley face)"
Zhang Jingyi: "Wait a minute and I'll check the air tickets right away!"
Li Shi looked at her message, smiled, and then focused on the words on the desk.
"In the previous state of creation, I vaguely felt that every word was a blur of beauty. I was describing her graceful figure with pen and ink."
"If you look closely, there is indeed a breakthrough in the 'rhyme' of this calligraphy."
"Beauty calligraphy style?"
…
Zhang Jingyi quickly sent her ticket information: "Director Li, your assistant director will be back at noon tomorrow! (Biya)"
Li Shi, who was originally in a good mood because of the great harvest, saw that what she said was interesting, and even said happily: "Okay, Assistant Director Zhang, I am looking forward to this cooperation with you."
After chatting with Zhang Jingyi, Li Shi dialed the number of his assistant Zhang Huijing: "Inform Zhao Lingfang and Wang Zhi, especially Wang Zhi, and ask him to inventory all the shooting equipment. Give him the car and ask him to go with you tomorrow. Zhao Lingfang first drove to Zhaoyang County with the equipment."
In order to shoot, Li Shi purchased a lot of shooting equipment after discussing with photographer Wang Zhi during this period, which cost him more than 300,000 yuan.
This kind of photography equipment is very expensive. Although Li Shi is not short of money, he is still just testing the waters, so what he purchased is entry-level configuration for movies. Adding in the previous stuff, it is barely enough for making movies.
In fact, the way to save money is to rent.
However, there were many restrictions on renting equipment, and Li Shi didn’t know what his shooting would be like, so he bought it directly as he didn’t have much money.
For convenience.
Zhang Huijing has been on standby these days. After hearing this, she immediately said: "Okay boss, what about me?"
Li Shi: "You arrange for them to set off tomorrow morning, and then come to Phoenix Bay. We will pick up someone at the airport first, and then go to Zhaoyang County... Also inform the actors to arrive at the hotel in Zhaoyang County before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. gather."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Li Shi assigned the task to his assistant. He felt relieved. After hanging up the phone, he admired the work on his desk again. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was so good at writing such a good work. hand!
He got up and went to the safe to take out two sets of top-grade seals. After thinking about it, he decided to use the top-grade Shoushan Tian Huang Seal.
But don’t rush to add a cover.
He took out a small pen and wrote a draft on a new piece of paper: He wrote his own poem "Missing the King", which he felt after entering the theater on May 22, 1898. Li Shi wrote it in Tanzhou.
After writing it three times in a row, I felt it was almost done. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths several times to adjust myself before writing to the lower left corner of the work.
After that, the introductory seal "Xingyun" is stamped on the upper right corner, and the name stamp "Li Shi" is stamped on the lower left corner.
After completing everything, Li Shi admired it again and nodded with satisfaction.
I got up and went to the storage room, found a thin safe suitcase that I had prepared before, opened it, and found that it was padded with two layers of sponge wrapped in black silk cloth.
Li Shi first took off a layer of sponge, put three layers of oil paper on it to prevent moisture and dust, then laid "Sijun" flat on the oil paper, then added five layers of oil paper on top, and then put back the sponge he had taken off before. , secured with bandages from the box.
"If I have a portable space, I can just put it in the portable space... Now, I still have to find a mounting expert to frame it as soon as possible, so as not to damage my first masterpiece and regret it later."
Li Shi put the suitcase flat on the bookshelf, then took his mobile phone and returned to the tea table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He searched for information on framing on the Internet and found that there were many famous framing studios in Shanghai. He thought he was just right. I was going to see the performance of "Only Green" in a while, so I sent a message to Wu Yuan and asked her to help me find a framing expert.
When Wu Yuan received his message, she happened to be having a beauty treatment with Sister He at the beauty club, so she immediately asked her.
The two of them were dressed very coolly and covered with silk blankets. They lay side by side on the beauty chair and were served by the female technician next to them.
Sister He was chatting with Wu Yuan with her eyes closed. After hearing this, she opened her eyes and looked up at her: "I know a lot of framers, some of them are particularly good, but why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Wu Yuan also glanced back at Sister He's fair and plump body and said, "I asked for it for a friend."
Seeing the seemingly uncontrollable smile on her face, Sister He immediately thought of something. She blinked and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "The WeChat message just now was sent by that little wolfdog of yours, right?"
Wu Yuan didn't hide it, she smiled openly and said: "Yes, it's him."
Sister He rolled her eyes, waved the female technicians out, and asked curiously: "This little wolf dog is so good, and his WeChat message can make you so happy?"
When Wu Yuan was asked this question, she immediately thought of Teacher Li's various talents and strengths, especially the thirty-three works of Erhai Lake. Her eyes couldn't help but become a little blurry, and she whispered: "Of course he is the best in the world." This man, I have been willing to fall into his hands my entire life."
Sister He couldn't see her look like this: "Xiaoyuan, can you be a bit promising? You are usually a strong career woman, but you are unmoved by those men chasing you? Aren't you just a little fresh meat? You won't be able to do it at every turn. For life, right?”
Wu Yuan put on her coat and immediately returned to her strong-woman appearance, but she still smiled and said: "Sister He, I'm not afraid of your jokes. His weight in my heart is on the same level as my own life."
Sister He became more and more curious: "After you said that, I really want to meet him."
Wu Yuan immediately smiled and said: "Sister, help me contact the most powerful framer. When he comes to deliver the framed things, you can see him then."
Sister He rolled her eyes at her: "Trick me?"
After saying that, he still picked up the phone and started looking for the number: "I really fell for your trick. You don't know, my aunt is a calligrapher and painter. She also collects calligraphy and paintings. I used to help her find a good master to repair and frame them... Are you sure you want to find the best framer? It’s not a good thing, sometimes it’s not necessary.”
"I just want to find the best, sister, please excuse me."
Wu Yuan unconditionally believed and carried out Li Shi's words. In her opinion, even if Li Shi found the best master to frame his elementary school homework, there would be no problem!
Li Shi received a message from Wu Yuan half an hour later.
"Gu Xiao, director of the China Framing Association, contracted restorer of the Palace Museum, contracted restorer of the Xi'an Museum... Judging from this title, he should be quite powerful."
He immediately replied: "Then you contact me first, and I will come to see you on the 15th, Ms. Wu."
Wu Yuan received the code and immediately replied: "Yeah! (Excited) (Looking forward to it)"
In the evening, Li Shi originally planned to go out to a restaurant to have a big meal to celebrate that he had taken another big step on the road of calligraphy.
But it’s not interesting to think about eating a big meal alone, and my calligraphy talent is really evil. Although I have put in a lot of hard work along the way, in fact, it is so smooth that even if it is filmed on TV, it will make the audience feel that it is fake. .
"Forget it, let's celebrate after being promoted to (Professional+) after a while."
He didn't ask Zhang Huijing to deliver the food. He opened the takeout app on his mobile phone. Just when he was about to order the Duck King that he hadn't eaten in a long time, Zhang Jingyi sent a message: "Senior, all my matters have been taken care of in advance. I just changed my flight ticket. If it’s not late, I’ll be at Huanghua Airport at 10:15. I’m the only one. Can you pick me up?”
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, then thought, it seems that today's celebration meal is unavoidable.
He smiled slightly and typed: "Of course, no problem."
