Li Er wanted it very much, but he just wouldn't say it.
As an emperor, if you like something you want, you can't just ask for it. You have to let your ministers take the initiative to deliver it.
Of course, Li Yunze doesn't need to do this.
Half reluctant, Li Er hurriedly sent someone to the palace to get his golden helmet.
This set of armor and stomach is very eye-catching, and the golden light makes it look dazzling.
Of course, this thing is for ceremonial purposes. If you really go to the battlefield and wear such a suit, it will be a magnet for arrows to miss.
Li Er assumed a majestic posture and stood in front of a large piece of green cloth with a slight doubt, "Why use this cloth?"
"For post-processing, it's just a p-picture." Li Yunze, holding the camera, took a pose. "Don't think so much, just maintain a majestic posture..."
Having said this, he paused and said, "Your Majesty, where are you going to use it? In the Daming Palace or in the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"
"Too..." The corners of Li Er's mouth twitched, forcing down his anger.
'This bastard actually dares to curse me and hang me in the Ancestral Temple...'
"Let's hang up in the bedroom." Li Er thought for a while and said.
After hearing this, Li Yunze put down the camera in his hand: "Your Majesty, if you want to hang it in the palace, it is best to take photos of daily life, focusing on a harmonious and warm family atmosphere. Your military uniform photos are usually hung either in the main hall or in the ancestral temple."
'You're talking about the Ancestral Temple! Li Er twitched his eyelids and took a deep breath, "Let's paint it first. This armor is very heavy and it will be uncomfortable to wear it for several hours."
There is no such thing as a camera in this day and age. If you want to draw portraits, you have to hire a specialized painter.
As a model, it is common for me to not move for several hours.
Li Er took the posture and was about to kill time with his head empty, but he only heard the sound of 'kacha', and then Li Yunze over there had already lowered his head to look at the box, "Okay, take it off."
Li Er, who had never had such an experience, was stunned on the spot, "What do you mean?"
"It's a disarmed stomach." Li Yunze simply walked over and showed the camera in his hand to Li Er, "Let's see what the effect is."
Looking at his extremely shrunken figure on the camera screen, Li Er's clenched fists trembled slightly.
That is to say, I have been mentally prepared for Li Yunze's magic over the years, so the scream in my heart was suppressed.
Otherwise, Li Er would have to shout 'Monster! How dare you capture my soul! '
"What is this?"
"Don't even think about cameras. If Datang can't do it, there's no need to promote what it can't do."
Li Yunze raised the camera in his hand and said, "It's okay to use it on a small scale, but if you want to industrialize it on a large scale, it's impossible."
Rough things, like the railway, which looks long and majestic, actually have no technical content at all.
After decades of hard work, Datang was finally able to initially digest it and be able to build early railways.
But the camera looks small, but the smaller the thing, the higher the technology integration.
Not to mention precision electronics, Datang couldn’t even refine silicon. Even finely polished lenses cannot be done here in Datang.
Li Yunze will not provide things that cannot be achieved within decades or even hundreds of years, or that cannot even be achieved with early technology.
Li Er was thoughtful, but quickly calmed down, "This painting is so small, it is very different from Li Ji's painting."
"Small? It doesn't matter if it's small, as long as it gets bigger."
Li Yunze said with a smile, "Don't look down on the small ones, otherwise you won't be able to bear it when you get older."
Just a few days later, a carriage carrying Nuo Da's framed photo came to the palace gate.
When the palace guards were inspecting it, when they untied the silk cloth and saw Li Er on it, they all gasped in fright, and some even saluted directly.
Without him, it's so similar, almost exactly the same.
It was as if their Majesty was lying on the carriage...
This incident caused a huge sensation. After the news came out, many nobles and dignitaries looked around to find out which master with such wonderful brushwork could draw such a lifelike image.
Then Li Ji jumped out and proudly invited the nobles to come to his home to see his full-body uniform photo.
While everyone was amazed, they naturally knew that it was Li Yunze's handiwork.
After that, everyone came in droves to get such a picture for themselves and leave it to future generations to admire.
The painting techniques of this era pursued the idea rather than the form, and naturally the paintings were not painted to the level of lifelikeness.
Because of this, Lijiazhuang was suddenly busy with traffic, and there was an endless stream of people asking for paintings.
Li Yunze did not refuse, and did not even accept the money.
But the request was made, that is, he had to take some photos wearing woolen military uniforms.
Because the price is quite expensive, the sales situation of woolen fabrics is not as optimistic as expected.
While thinking of ways to reduce costs, Li Yunze also started advertising, and these nobles became the best advertising models.
After all, only by stimulating the demand for wool can we better promote the scale of sheep cannibalism on the prairie.
As a photo of Zhang Xungui wearing crisp woolen clothes was circulated, at least the related trend in Chang'an City was gradually stimulated.
When you have enough to eat, pursuing a better quality of life is an eternal choice.
This is also the reason why most of the dynasties have tried to control the people to be half hungry and half full. When they are not full, they will only think about how to eat enough, instead of thinking wildly.
After all, if everyone wants to live a good life, the interests of the upper class will be affected.
Because this incident was the hardest hit, it was the local painters of Datang.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was tolerant and open, and it pursued new things instead of banning them. Therefore, when everyone liked to take pictures, the original hand-painted paintings naturally gradually lost their market.
A profession like a painter must rely on customers to support itself.
Since all the guests stopped visiting, the painter naturally had no food to eat.
Just like Yan Liben, although he reached the position of being a young eunuch at a young age, his main job is still to paint for the emperor.
But now that the emperor was taking pictures with his camera all day long, he was no longer required to paint. Yan Liben was immediately in danger of losing his job.
Everyone in the workplace knows that unemployment is a terrible thing, which means that there is no source of livelihood.
In order to avoid losing their jobs, male employees talk down to them, while female employees sacrifice their lives... ahem.
Yan Liben, feeling the unemployment crisis, took the initiative to find Li Yunze to seek new painting techniques.
"It's not impossible to teach you." Looking at the former painting master of Wu Daozi in front of him, Li Yunze stated his position clearly and neatly, "But you should also understand that you can't teach this kind of skill in vain, right?"
Of course Yan Liben understood. If you want to learn how others eat, how can it be possible without dedication?
"Yan is willing to become his master." Yan Liben, with a solemn look on his face, immediately bowed and said, "I will never forget the ceremony of becoming my master."
In ancient times, it was said that the king of heaven and earth is the master, and the relationship between teachers and students is very close.
But the root cause is that masters and students can indeed help each other and provide benefits, which can make everyone live a better life.
Just like in court, the teacher has a large group of students who can wave flags and shout, and the weight of his words is natural. Accordingly, if teachers promote students and give them more opportunities, everyone will be satisfied.
It's not like those so-called teachers in some time and space who only want cattle, horses and free labor. They shout that students should respect teachers, but they do disgusting things that are worse than animals.
Yan Liben wanted to become a disciple, so he was naturally aware of it.
He didn't know what a camera was, so he naturally mistook those lifelike photos as being drawn by Li Yunze.
Marveling at such ingenious painting skills, he naturally had no objection at all to becoming a disciple.
However, Li Yunze flatly refused, "I can't accept you as a disciple, but I can teach you a set of corresponding skills."
Yan Liben looked puzzled and said, "I don't want to accept disciples, but I am willing to teach skills." Could it be that he is a fool? '
Of course Li Yunze is not a fool. He naturally has what he wants. "In return, you can just draw me some paintings."
What kind of reward is this? For Yan Liben, drawing is as easy and simple as breathing. He has drawn hundreds of pictures of all kinds.
Hearing this, he was even a little ashamed, feeling that he had taken advantage.
Li Yunze laughed and called out the names: "Pictures of the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Mansion", "Pictures of Wei Zheng's Admonitions", "Scrolls of Calligraphy and Paintings of the Northern Qi School", "Pictures of Fighting for Treasures in Foreign Countries", "Pictures of Tribute", "Pictures of the Western Regions", "Pictures of Mingling Portraits", "Foreign Countries". picture"……"
After talking about dozens of paintings in one go, he took a breath and said to the dumbfounded Yan Liben, "Come on, create these paintings and send them over, and I will teach you a brand new painting technique."
As a painting saint before Wu Daozi, Yan Liben has many works.
Except for those that haven't had time to appear, such as "Walking Chariot Picture", Li Yunze plans to let him make a set for himself.
There is no doubt that it was made by Yan Liben himself. Who dares to say that it is not authentic?
As for "The Picture of the Chariot", Li Yunze would never let Li Er do the sand-casting work anyway, and took the initiative to help Tubo to upgrade its technology.
The technology and craftsmen Li Er provided to Tubo were no less significant than providing a full set of industrial technology upgrades in the industrial era, turning an agricultural country into a primary industrial country in an instant.
Li Yunze's liver trembled with anger when he thought of this.
Sha withered, without a doubt sand withered!
Seeing that the pursuit of new-style paintings in Chang'an City was becoming more and more intense, many of the previous patrons had switched to the embrace of new-style paintings. The anxious Yan Liben began to retreat after returning home and began to create seriously.
This creation was created in the eighth year of Zhenguan.
When Yan Liben came to Lijiazhuang with dozens of paintings that he had worked hard to create, Li Yunze was busy with the opening of the railway line from Chang'an to Luoyang.
After carefully reviewing the many paintings brought by Yan Liben, Li Yunze expressed that he was very satisfied. They were completely in line with his wishes, except that the paintings were all brand new.
A few days later, when Yan Liben came to Lijiazhuang again, he met several famous painters in Chang'an City.
While everyone was confused, Li Yunze came to everyone with charcoal pencils and drawing board.
"Everyone." Li Yunze showed the charcoal pen in his hand, "Today I am going to teach you a brand new painting technique."
"The name of this technique is sketching."
