Li Shi went to bed at around two o'clock last night. He woke up naturally at dawn in the morning. He checked the time on his mobile phone and saw that it was not even six o'clock.
Looking at the sleeping beauty next to him, he was stunned for a while.
I haven’t slept in a hotel outside for a long time.
He smiled, gently got out of bed, came to the living room, and then went straight to the administrative workbench.
The words of the song "Beauty Bath" are being pressed on by a clean inkstone and several remote controls.
Li Shi admired it from beginning to end again.
It is a masterpiece of such a standard that is outstanding among other products. It is really pleasing to the eye, and the more you look at it, the more you feel happy.
And when he thought that such a work was made by his own hands, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
After reading it back and forth twice, Li Shi sat down and sorted out what he had gained over the past two days.
"I watched the dance drama live last night, and it was indeed different from watching the video. Those thoughts and insights helped me a lot in deducing the style of Meiren calligraphy, especially in the 'rhyme'!"
"Now that my calligraphy foundation has been laid extremely deep and solid, I will continue to read and write posts, but the focus should be on creation."
…
Li Shi stood up and took his backpack, opened it, and took out a thick, straight black paper tube from inside.
This is a calligraphy and painting storage tube that he specially customized online. He puts it in his backpack when he goes out, just in case he creates good works by outside opportunities like now, and can store it without folding it.
Open the upper lid, roll up the piece "Beauty Bath" together with seven or eight pieces of unused rice paper, put it in, cover it again, fold it together with other papers used for calligraphy practice, and put them into the bag.
Then I took out the notebook that I would always carry with me, turned over a new page, and wrote two words on the paper with a pen: Creation.
You must deepen and sublimate your calligraphy style in creation!
Li Shi continued to think.
"Since it is creation, if it is aimless, the efficiency will be ridiculously low."
“So there still has to be a theme.”
"Although setting a theme risks increasing the 'craftsmanship' of the work,... I am extremely talented and my calligraphy touch is demonic, but I don't need to worry too much about this aspect."
"Besides, I still have the successful experience of 'getting into drama' and 'learning calligraphy with snow skin' to draw on."
Li Shi pursed his lips with a smile, and made up his mind to shift the focus of his study to theme creation in the next period of time.
He thought for a few more minutes, picked up the pen, and continued to write a few keywords:
The rhyme of dance, the rhyme of drama, touching emotions with scenery, classical artistic conception...
Li Shi's eyes quickly focused on "classical artistic conception".
"Classical artistic conception... This is the core of traditional art. This is true for poetry, painting and other arts. In fact, calligraphy is also the same. For example, Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript for Nephew Memorial" is an artistic conception of sorrow and anger, and Su Shi's "Han Shi Tie" It is a bold and desolate artistic conception."
"Relatively speaking, poetry has the most comprehensive use of artistic conception, and we can learn from it."
He wrote again——
Artistic conception: majestic and boundless, tranquil and quiet, ethereal and distant, lonely and desolate, fresh and elegant, slender and graceful...
After listing some common artistic conceptions in ancient poetry, Li Shi thought about how to use these artistic conceptions to create calligraphy works.
"As for artistic conception, we still need to start with images. More fundamentally, we need to start with objects, scenery, and people."
"Objects, such as JK's clothes last night."
"The scene is like a hotel room, like the Oriental Pearl Tower reflected by the colorful lights last night, standing straight on the bank of the turbulent river, and high into the deep sky..."
"The human elephant is Chen Muling in jk. Her skin is white, and she blends in with the jk clothing, the scenery of the hotel room, and the distant river scenery. The environment with her human elephant as the core is filled with a kind of charm and confusion. The artistic conception made me addicted to writing books with her snow-white skin."
The more Li Shi concluded, the more he felt that he was on the right path of creation: "No matter what artistic conception, it is all to make me, the creator, moved and emotional to the greatest extent, so that I can be immersed in it, so that I can be inspired and create excellent works."
"so……"
Li Shi put down his pen, stood up, and looked around. The scenes of last night emerged in his mind. Whether it was the seat, the sofa, the curtains, or the bathtub over there, there were memories left behind by Xue Fu's practice of calligraphy.
"So, everything must be based on impressing myself!"
"Well, whether it is scenes, objects, or people, they must be beautiful, and the beauty is in line with my orientation!"
"In addition, the physical charm of dance and the charm of opera can also be explored deeply. For example, dance can be directly used as an element and integrated into the theme and artistic conception."
"But which artistic conception should be used as the theme for creation first?"
Li Shi thought for a moment and decided to put it aside for the time being. After the first two works were framed, he would go to Yangcheng to stay for a few days.
Not to mention that I was too busy some time ago, but I can’t rush things like creation.
There is a certain amount of relaxation.
Suddenly I heard a movement in the bedroom. After a while, Chen Muling, who was only wearing underwear, poked her head out of the dressing room. Her eyes met Li Shi who looked over when he heard the movement. Her eyes were as bright as crescent moons. He blinked his eyes and said in a playful voice: "Li Shi, I'm hungry, but I don't want to go out. Can I order breakfast to be eaten in the room?"
"Of course, what do you want to eat?"
"A normal breakfast is fine. I'm going to take a shower first."
Li Shi watched the girl's pretty face disappear at the door, grabbed the landline phone on the executive desk and called for room service.
Suddenly he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. He was about to hang up the phone, but asked how long it would take for breakfast to be delivered to his door.
"Sir, we can deliver it in twenty minutes."
Li Shi asked again: "Can you specify a time?"
The other party immediately said: "Of course, if you have special needs, I can help you make notes here."
Li Shi picked up the cell phone on the table, looked at it, and said, "Then you can send it over after eight ten, and let the chef calculate the time to cook. Thank you."
It's seven twenty-nine now. Well, about forty minutes, which should be enough to take a shower.
It wasn't anything else. He mainly wanted Chen Muling to eat the freshly cooked food immediately after washing, so that it would taste the best.
He is a rough person in other places, but his heart has always been very careful.
After hanging up the phone, Li Shi thought of making up for Chen Muling's help in inspiring him to create "Beauty Bath", so he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Go and ask her what she needs."
After a while, the sound of water inside turned into a song, faintly saying:
Water drop curtains, blue ceramic tiles, silver jade and red lips.
The sound of spring overflows, and the pistils are scattered in the morning.
Who makes the fragrance of ink rhyme and penetrate into the snow-skinned skin, with three or two strokes, every beauty.
…
The hotel's service is indeed pretty good. Breakfast was delivered at 8:12 minutes.
After the waiter left, Chen Muling came out of the bedroom in a bathrobe, sat at the dining table by the window, opened the curtains, and prepared to enjoy the food.
Li Shi sat next to her, and the two chatted while eating.
Let’s talk about the open dance class I’m going to watch in the afternoon.
"I can see some dancing stars up close, and maybe even get an autograph from Zhu Jiejing."
Chen Muling is a complete fan of dance. When talking about dance, she is always in high spirits.
He knew the name Zhu Jiejing and asked, "Zhu Jiejing seems to have won the Lotus Award too."
He has seen too many dances online.
Chen Muling immediately took out his mobile phone to search and said: "I have won it before. I danced "Crested Ibis". I also danced "Farewell My Concubine" a long time ago and won three gold medals for creation, performance and lighting."
When she said this, Li Shi immediately remembered these two dances, and he was impressed.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Shi suddenly remembered something and asked, "You don't seem to be vlogging anymore?"
Chen Muling took a sip of coffee and said softly: "I was busy writing my graduate thesis some time ago, so I stopped updating. Now that I have stopped updating, it will be difficult to pick it up again. Plus, I plan to return to Treasure Island in a while."
Li Shi tasted the fruit and asked, "Are you really not planning to stay in the mainland for development?"
"I myself hope to stay, but my family suggested that I go back, especially my mother, who hopes that I can work and live in a city closer to her... We'll see, anyway, I'll go back to visit my relatives first."
The weather in Shanghai is particularly good today, the sun is shining brightly.
Sunlight shines through the window on Chen Muling's snow-white skin, making her look like she is glowing and pure as a saint in her white bathrobe.
He suddenly felt that the thank you he gave in the bathroom just now was not enough.
How about taking the time to thank me again?
Li Shi has always been a man of action. He put down his fork and walked straight over to do something ugly and beautiful that was blasphemous to the sanctity.
…
The time came to around ten o'clock in the morning.
Wu Yuan has arranged a lot of work today. She has to take advantage of Li Shi's absence to quickly handle the important things at hand, so that she can free up the next few days to do what they want to do and love with Li Shi.
However, when Sister He made an appointment, she and her assistant rushed to the cafe near the new store as soon as possible.
After entering the store, she saw He Yaru sitting by the window from a distance. Wu Yuan asked the female assistant to wait here. She walked over alone and sat down opposite Sister He.
"Sister, what's going on? You're in such a hurry?"
After sitting down, she took a sip of the cappuccino that Sister He had already ordered for her, and then looked at the lady opposite.
Sister He and Wu Yuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "It's still your Teacher Li's business. I went to my aunt's place last night and told my aunt about Teacher Li's matter. She..."
She explained the situation in detail, and then said: "My aunt is particularly curious about Teacher Li and wants to appreciate his calligraphy. I also want to collect his works, so Xiaoyuan, you don't have to ask Li Shi for two calligraphy works for me."
Wu Yuan was stunned. She knew that Sister He's aunt was a great calligrapher, and she also knew that Sister He was a collector. She never refused to collect rare items. The calligraphy and paintings in her collection were all works by famous artists. She couldn't help but said: "It turns out that Teacher Li's calligraphy is so amazing." Is it to this extent?”
Although she thinks Teacher Li's calligraphy is very beautiful and she likes it very much, she is not a calligraphy enthusiast. Yesterday she learned that Li Shi's copying is amazing and amazing, but she has no specific idea of how high his calligraphy level is. .
Sister He suddenly looked at Wu Yuan with a strange look. After a while, she said quietly: "You woman, you have really found a treasure. My aunt said that she thinks Teacher Li is probably the youngest person in the world today." Master of calligraphy... Of course, we have to see Mr. Li's specific works before we can draw a conclusion, but this speculation itself is already very revealing. If you really like him so much, then quickly hold him firmly in your hands. Come inside."
Grandmaster?
Nowadays, this word has been overused. Wu Yuan was not too touched when she heard it. Moreover, she knew Teacher Li very well, and her obsession with Teacher Li had nothing to do with calligraphy.
As for keeping Teacher Li in your hands?
Wu Yuan shook her head slightly, and suddenly said something very philosophical: "Teacher Li is mine, and he is not mine. There is nothing that can't be grasped."
Sister He raised her eyebrows slightly, lowered her voice and leaned over to ask: "Doesn't he have other things... is he a scumbag?"
Wu Yuan didn't want anyone to say anything bad about Li Shi, so she rolled her eyes at Sister He: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the one who is pestering him... Forget it, don't talk about this, Sister He, we are sisters." , I am a good best friend, but don’t say anything bad about Teacher Li in front of me in the future, otherwise I will hate you... I will tell him now that you want to ask for a letter."
After saying that, she took out her mobile phone from her orange Hermès handbag and sent a WeChat message to Li Shi.
Sister He opposite looked at her as if she had seen a ghost. What Wu Yuan said just now was beyond her expectation.
After a while, He Yaru couldn't help but said: "Xiaoyuan, aren't you being fooled by some PUA or talking skills? Is Teacher Li that good?"
Wu Yuan raised her head and smiled at her, but continued typing without making a sound.
But she was saying in her heart, Sister He, a lady like you who has been living alone in an empty house and has been a widow for many years, how can you know the bone-deep joy that thirty-three photos bring?
I may have been PUAed, but it was not by Teacher Li, but by myself.
Because I enjoy it.
After a while, Li Shi replied to the message. Wu Yuan looked up again, looked at Sister He and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, Teacher Li refused. He said that he doesn't have many works that he can produce at the moment. If you want If you ask for a calligraphy, you have to wait...but even if you wait, I can only get a calligraphy from you."
Sister He remembered that Li Shi tore up the poem in the teahouse yesterday morning and threw it into the toilet and flushed it away. She realized that this was a calligrapher who was extremely strict with his works.
For such a calligrapher, asking for two paintings of calligraphy at once is indeed a bit much.
What she wanted to know most now was what kind of works Li Shi could produce that he was satisfied with. She immediately said: "Xiaoyuan, I remember when we were drinking tea yesterday, Teacher Li seemed to have said that he wanted to The framed text is in your safe, right? Can I go to your house now and take a look?"
Wu Yuan refused without even thinking about it: "Sister, I can't make a decision for Mr. Li. Anyway, it will be framed in the next two days. You can join us then, so there is no rush for these two days."
He Yaru couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, and said angrily: "I can see that you are a woman who forgets her friends after seeing sex. Forget it, I'll tell Teacher Li myself. You pushed him on WeChat give it to me."
When drinking tea yesterday, she didn't add Li Shi's WeChat message. In fact, she regretted it when she went back.
Now I have an honest excuse to add to it. (End of chapter)
