Freelance Artist Chapter 483

Chapter 483 Yan Zhenqing!

 The next day.

 The third event competition starts at 7 o'clock in the evening.

In view of the growing influence of Qi Chuwen Dou, broadcasters from various continents have also paid more and more attention to it. They have started various time announcements early and even conducted some related activities. For example, Qinzhou organized a program to watch "Qi Chuwen Dou" Then Qi Zhou and others also conducted similar promotional activities.

 The discussion on the Internet has been lively since the morning.

 The topic of course revolves around Lin Zhibai and Zhuge Qiuliang.

 In fact, the outside world has long been looking forward to this calligraphy battle.

Especially the audience in Central Continent, they can't even maintain the mentality of eating melon like the previous two days!

 After all, the world today will witness:

Is Blue Star's number one calligrapher Lin Zhibai from Qin or Zhuge Qiuliang from Zhongzhou?

Not only the outside world, it can be said that calligraphy circles all over the world are paying attention to this competition. Countless famous calligraphers from various continents with high rankings have come to the Chuzhou competition site to see today's calligraphy. The showdown between the kings of the world!

 Some even come in advance.

 Arrived at the venue, a group of people started discussing:

“The biggest suspense today is how good Lin Zhibai's regular script and cursive script are, and how much they can reach the level of his running script.”

"yes."

“There is definitely no one who can rival Lin Zhibai in running script!”

“Zhuge Qiuliang's regular script and cursive script are both top-notch. If he can win, he must work **** these two fonts!”

 “I'm optimistic about Lin Zhibai.”

“I personally think Zhuge Qiuliang should win.”

"It's actually hard to judge, but I'm more optimistic about Zhuge Qiuliang, because after all, Lin Zhibai is a new monster in the industry. His calligraphy skills have never been shown to the public before the charity dinner, including his official running script works only "Lanting" "Preface", probably because his other fonts are not that strong, otherwise why wouldn't they be displayed to the public?"

 “Brother, didn't you watch yesterday's game?”

"If you watched yesterday's Go match, you would never be able to tell what you just said. Lin Zhibai has never shown his Go skills to the outside world before, but who would have thought that in the end, he, a newcomer in the Go world, would directly beat Liu Jidu was killed, so much so that the Go community now says he has the strength of Blue Star's number one Go master?”

 In the midst of numerous heated discussions.

 The time came to six o'clock in the evening.

The calligraphy masters who represented Qi Chu in the competition had arrived at the scene an hour in advance, and the two sides met backstage.

  “It's a pity that I couldn't play chess with Teacher Lin yesterday.”

Xiao Lin Dazhu actually reached out his hand to greet Lin Zhibai: "But at the same time, I'm glad that we didn't run into each other."

 “Didn't we meet each other today?”

Lin Zhibai smiled and shook hands with the other party.

Xiao Lin Dazhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Please, Teacher Lin, be merciful today."

Lin Zhibai was too lazy to be polite to the opponent, and said: "There is no way to be lenient in the competition. Naturally, everyone has to go all out."

Xiao Lin Dazhu felt bored and stopped pestering him.

As for Zhuge Qiuliang, who had a bad time with Lin Zhibai at the charity dinner before, he had no intention of coming to say hello at this moment.

 This is just right.

Lin Zhibai didn't want to go over and say hello anyway. Among the players representing Chuzhou, he only had a good impression of Ye Cai'er on the first day.

 The others are just passers-by.

On the other hand, the other four contestants in Qizhou's calligraphy projects had a good chat with Lin Zhibai. After all, they were all on the same side.

Those four people also knew it very well.

 The four of them are running with me.

Even in today's competition, except for Lin Zhibai and Zhuge Qiuliang, everyone else was running with them, even Xiao Lin Dazhu.

 While the players on both sides were busy with their own thoughts, the time finally came to seven o'clock, and live broadcasts had already started in all continents!

 At the front desk.

 At the conference venue.

 The organizer has arranged ten tables and chairs.

  Special papers for the competition with the same specifications are placed on the table.

There is no problem in mounting these calligraphy works directly after they are written.

As for the content of the competition, it is very simple. According to the host's introduction, ten judges will discuss and decide on an article of about 500 words, and the participating calligraphers will be responsible for transcribing it.

  This is a competition after all.

 There is only so much room for free play.

 Otherwise, if you write fifty characters and he writes a hundred characters, the structures of the characters are still different, so there is no way to compare and evaluate them intuitively.

 Unless the gap between them is really huge.

 But if everyone writes the same content, outsiders may not dare to judge who is good and who is bad. Many knowledgeable people can actually tell the difference at a glance.

 “The competition is divided into three rounds.”

 “The first round is running script.”

 “The second round is regular script.”

 “The third round is cursive writing.”

 The host is introducing how the game is played.

"Although it is divided into three rounds like the first two projects, the calligraphy competition does not say how many people will be eliminated in each round. We will arrange eight judges in each round to score, then remove the highest and lowest scores, and then calculate the average score. This is the official result of this game. As for the final victory or defeat, it is of course based on the total score of each teacher."

 There was a pause.

The host added: "Then there is a rule to add. Since regular script is more practical than running script and cursive script, our full score for running script and cursive script is 10 points each, but the full score for regular script is 12 points."

 Sure enough.

 Just like Li Bai's introduction last night.

This competition will add a little weight to regular script.

Just like the full score of some subjects in the monthly exam is 100, and the full score of some subjects is 120...

 Fortunately, the weight given in the competition is not exaggerated. Cursive and running script are given a 10-point scale, and regular script is only given a 12-point scale.

But then again.

 In master battles, sometimes the difference is just that small, so this difference in weight is extremely important to all contestants except Lin Zhibai.

ah?

 Why is it not important to Lin Zhibai?

Because Lin Zhibai's running script is so terrifying, his regular script and cursive script are so invincible!

Of course, the outside world is not yet fully aware of this, and everyone is seriously discussing the impact this weight will ultimately have on the results of the game.

“The better someone is at regular script, the easier it is to win!”

“So, the biggest beneficiaries of this rule should be Xiaolin Dazhu and Zhuge Qiuliang.”

 “Xiao Lin Dazhu's regular script is extremely famous, even known as the best in the world!”

“However, Zhuge Qiuliang's regular script is also known as the best in the world. There may not be much difference between the two of them in regular script alone.”

 “But I always feel that this is not good, because regular script is given too much weight!”

“For those of us who mainly study running script, it's a little unfair.”

"yes."

“Last year Qi Chuwendou's calligraphy project, the regular script score seems to be 11 points, right?”

“It's already 12 points this year. Why can't all three fonts be 10 points?”

 The competition format seems a bit controversial.

 Mainly because many running calligraphers are uncomfortable.

 Some people even think that this competition system seems to be aimed at Lin Zhibai!

 Because all the running script schools are very supportive of Lin Zhibai, of course they hope that the calligraphy of this first running script person will be ranked first in the world!   …

I know that my best is running script, and I also know that Xiaolin Dazhu and Zhuge Qiuliang are better at regular script.

  Why do we still need to add two points of weight to regular script?

 You need to know that the regular script of previous years only adds one weight.

Lin Zhibai couldn't tell whether the competition system was aimed at him, but he vaguely guessed that there might be something going on here?

After all, the fact that Chuzhou likes to find foreign aid shows that they don't care much about martial ethics.

It just so happens that this year's Qi Chu Wen Dou happened to be Chuzhou's home field, so they occupied a dominant position.

never mind.

 There's no need to think too much, maybe it's just a coincidence.

 Besides, in the face of a truly strong (crossed out) fool, all conspiracies and schemes are just paper tigers!

 My mind is changing.

 Ten contestants have been invited to the stage.

At the same time, the host began to introduce the background of these ten masters, almost all of whom were celebrities in the calligraphy world.

 Especially when introducing Xiaolin Dazhu.

 The audience at the scene screamed very loudly.

 When Lin Zhibai was introduced, the screams were obviously weaker, but when the camera was shown to the front row, the audience would see:

Many of those cheering and cheering Lin Zhibai were senior figures in the calligraphy world, and they are extremely important in this circle!

 Similarly.

 The situation was similar when Zhuge Qiuliang was introduced. The legal circle still recognized Lin Zhibai and Zhuge Qiuliang more.

 Kobayashi Otake has more of a home court advantage.

 It was in this live atmosphere that the host announced the start of the game.

"The first round today is running script. Our topic is "Jiu Zhangji" written by the great poet Chen Yuelan three hundred years ago. The full text of this article is less than 500 words. Masters have two hours... "

 Suddenly.

 The calligraphy masters all looked at the screen in front of them, where the original text of "Nine Zhang Ji" was written.

The so-called "Nine Zhangji" is a brand name, but Chen Yuelan's song is naturally the specific work.

After all, Lin Zhibai is from Blue Star, and Chen Yuelan is a famous female lyricist in Blue Star history, so Lin Zhibai is not unfamiliar with the content of this poem. What he wants to study now is each word in the poem. For a moment, think about the most beautiful structure of these fonts.

Or:

Lin Zhibai needs to think about what style to play today.

 Should we continue the Wang Xizhi style of "Lanting Preface"?

 Everyone knows that in the previous life, the best running script in the world was Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface".

Few people know that Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript of Sacrifice to My Nephew" was written vigorously and unrestrainedly, and was rated as "the second running script in the world" by the ancients.

As for Su Dongpo's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post", it is called "the third running script in the world".

As the **** of calligraphy, Lin Zhibai can not only write the charm of Wang Xizhi, but also reproduce the style of all calligraphy masters in the past, such as Yan Zhenqing and even Su Shi!

 Some calligraphers started to write, or even if they didn't start writing, they started to study ink. Only Lin Zhibai remained motionless and thought in the live broadcast.

 “What is Lin Zhibai doing?”

 “I'm probably thinking about what to eat for dinner.”

 “Hahaha, he is so stress-free when it comes to running script.”

“I don't dare to speak regular script or cursive script, but if I recognize cursive script as the second best, no one dares to recognize it as the first!”

“I still can't forget the shock of seeing “Lanting Preface” that day!”

“Let's just say that the Preface to Lanting is good, but the vast majority of people who don't understand calligraphy can't actually see that many skills.”

“Indeed, many people claim that "Lanting Preface" is pure and simple, but they are actually pretending to be cool. In fact, they cannot understand it at all."

“Just like many people say they like to read **** classics, they obviously love online novels, but they are still embarrassed to admit it.”

“Just these masters on stage. Of course I know they are great, but I can't understand any of their works. If I can understand them, I lose. I just feel that each of their handwriting is so beautiful.”

really.

 This is the threshold of art.

Lin Zhibai certainly knows that art has always had this kind of "threshold".

 It is precisely because the threshold for some arts is too high that the inheritance is being cut off or even dissipated.

However, Lin Zhibai has a skill called "writing like a spirit". Today he wants people who don't know calligraphy to feel the charm of calligraphy!

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai made a decision.

 He will use Yan Zhenqing's style to participate in this running calligraphy competition today!

 Why is it Yan Zhenqing and not Wang Xizhi? Because Lin Zhibai wants to show his comprehensiveness and become the "Sage of Calligraphy" of Blue Star!

 In contemporary times.

Want to be canonized?

How can you convince the public if you don't come up with something beyond human imagination?

Only by breaking people's imagination and creating miracles can we become saints in this contemporary era!

As for the benefits of canonization, it goes without saying. At least one thing is that when Lin Zhibai goes to other continents in the future, his starting point may not be as simple as the third line!

 Don't say it's too far away.

Just after Qi Chu and Wen Dou.

Lin Zhibai went to Chuzhou to develop.

 What initial rank will Chuzhou set for him?

The third tier is definitely unjustifiable, he must at least be classified as a second tier. After all, he is now considered a famous genius monster on the Chuzhou network!

Lin Zhibai was thinking divergently.

 Everyone else has started writing.

The footage of the competition shows the masters' preparations on the big screen.

 Especially the characters of Xiaolin Dazhu and Zhuge Qiuliang are arranged with very clear close-ups.

Although the running script of these two people is not as good as Lin Zhibai who wrote "Lanting Preface", they still make calligraphy lovers feel that "the world is worth it"!

 Suddenly.

The host said excitedly: "Lin Zhibai has started to write!"

 The camera seemed to be more excited than the host. It immediately arranged a close-up shot of Lin Zhibai, and then focused on his copybook.

The running script is like flowing clouds and flowing water!

Every word is so moving!

But after Lin Zhibai wrote a few words in succession, the host's expression suddenly changed. It was obvious that he was an expert in running calligraphy:

"etc!"

 “What kind of style is this!?”

“As a calligraphy enthusiast who has studied “Lanting Preface” hundreds of times, I know very well the calligraphy style of Teacher Lin Zhibai!”

 “But now I find—”

 “Teacher Lin Zhibai came up with another style!”

"This style is almost as shocking to me as "Lanting Preface"!"

Lin Zhibai couldn't hear what the host said. If he did, he would just smile. After all, his style has changed from Wang Xizhi to Yan Zhenqing.

But where is this?

 When he writes a certain number of words, he will trigger the passive "writing as if he has a spirit". That is Lin Zhibai's real killer move!
