London, England.
When the plane landed, there were many paparazzi around the airport.
The International Ink Painting Competition is a large-scale art competition in the world, which attracts a large number of people's attention every year.
Last year the competition was held in Sweden, and this year it is finally the turn of the UK.
The British people are very interested in this mysterious oriental painting.
Just as porcelain was very popular in the West during the Tang Dynasty, so is ink painting today. Many British homes now hang an ink painting or Chinese calligraphy.
As the saying goes, consumption promotes production. Therefore, ink painting has become very popular in the international art circle in recent years.
Especially Mr. Komata Keisuke from Sakura Island and Park Mingzhi from Bangzi Country.
The two of them are now almost universally recognized masters of ink painting.
"I'm sorry we don't accept interviews." The young assistant kept pushing the reporters.
Surrounded by security guards, Komata Keisuke came out in a white coat.
He is fifty-three years old this year. But due to the proper maintenance, it looks like it is only in the early forties.
Komata Keisuke has a typical island look, with yellow skin, a shaved head, and a mustache above his lips.
He is unremarkable in front of the media cameras.
No one would have imagined that such an ordinary old man would be an internationally renowned master painter.
"Mr. Keisuke Komata, last year your brother from the same school won the championship. Are you confident to win the championship for your school again this year?" A white reporter broke through the siege and passed the microphone in front of him excitedly.
Komata Keisuke's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "I will do my best."
the other side.
Park Mingzhi also received the same attention when he came out.
On the contrary, the Huaxia team that picked up Qi Linqing was ignored.
Xiaoyu shouted dissatisfied: "These reporters are too snobbish!"
Xiaoyu is the assistant sent by the state to guarantee Qi Linqing's daily life.
Probably because of his young age, it is inevitable that he is a little vigorous.
Qi Linqing comforted him in turn: "It's okay, we have never participated in a competition before, it's normal that local media reporters don't know us."
Xiaoyu sighed.
He also knew that although Qi Linqing was very popular in China, he was unknown abroad.
Foreigners may only know the ins illustration account of the Chinese painting newcomer or Qi Linqing, but they don't know him personally.
"One day you will become a well-known artist like them and become popular internationally." Xiaoyu said firmly.
Qi Linqing laughed it off.
Red or not, he doesn't care.
This time he came to London to participate in the competition, he wanted to let those neighboring countries see the true strength of Huaxia traditional Chinese painting.
The team sent a special car to transport them and their luggage to the hotel.
Domestic leaders attach great importance to this competition.
Whether it is the hotel, the team members, or even the painting utensils and materials supplied, they are all first-class.
If Qi Linqing can win the prize, in addition to the prize of one million pounds from the competition, the encouragement from above will give him a private allocation and a considerable amount of RMB.
From ancient times to the present, painters are not as holy as the public imagines.
In addition to love, what supports them to go to a higher place is the pursuit of money.
— Desire has been the source of inspiration for the birth of art since ancient times.
"Have you arrived at the hotel yet?" Zhong Chen called overseas.
"Well, just arrived."
"Come on for the competition, if you win this time, I will also prepare a gift for you." Zhong Chen put it off.
Qi Linqing: "Oh good."
Zhong Chen: "Are you not curious at all?"
Qi Linqing: "I'll know when I come back."
Zhong Chen smiled and said, "It seems that you are very confident in yourself."
Qi Linqing: "It's okay."
Zhong Chen: "Stop talking, I understand everything."
He can understand the confidence of the other party.
After all, Fu Yi, the saint of painting, was on the other end of the phone.
All over the world, the few Chinese painters who could defeat him are no longer alive.
The competition takes place at a theater venue in central London.
The night before, Qi Linqing happened to meet Komata Keisuke at a Chinese restaurant.
When the other party saw him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he walked towards him quickly.
"You are Mr. Qi Linqing from Huaxia, right?" Komata Keisuke reached out to him while speaking Chinese.
"Yes. Nice to meet you, Mr. Komada Keisuke."
Out of politeness, Qi Linqing got up and shook hands with the other party.
"Can I sit here?" Komata Keisuke pointed to the seat opposite him.
Qi Linqing: "Please go ahead."
Xiaoyu beside him suddenly felt a little upset.
Komata Keisuke ordered an egg fried rice, looked at him and said, "I have watched your live broadcast and bought your books. I have to say that you have made great contributions to the world of Chinese painting."
Qi Linqing: "Thank you for your compliment."
"Are those lost techniques passed on to you by your master?" Komata Keisuke asked tentatively.
Qi Linqing didn't speak, just nodded.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu muttered in his heart.
Komata Keisuke seemed to have malicious intentions at first glance, and he was eyeing Qi Linqing.
Otherwise, London is so big, how could they meet by chance in the same Chinese restaurant
The two of them ate at the same table, and it was basically Keisuke Komata who had nothing to say.
Qi Linqing occasionally responded twice.
Komata Keisuke thought he was young and wanted to find out about the situation.
But now it was unexpectedly discovered that the other party's tone was very strict.
"You take it easy, we're leaving first."
The other party's back disappeared in front of the restaurant door, Komata Keisuke narrowed his small eyes.
He has seen the paintings of the Chinese painting art exhibition held by the other party in China.
Compared to Park Mingzhi, this young Huaxia youth is probably his biggest opponent.
…
The next day, the game was held at ten o'clock in the morning.
Since the event has attracted a lot of attention in China, Huaxia specially sent professionals to record it live and broadcast the whole process live.
After the opening of the live broadcast room, in just half an hour, the number of people online broke through one million... until it soared all the way to tens of millions.
[So excited ah]
[Show me China's national prestige]
[Let's start quickly]
The camera turned around, and the commentator introduced the participating painters respectively: "This is Keisuke Komata from Sakura Island, that is Park Mingzhi from Bangzi Country, and Ri*Jerry from xxx, xxxx from xx... "
Although there were quite a few painters present, it was clear to everyone that only Keisuke Komata and Park Myung-ji were actually competing in the competition.
So the lens gives them a lot.
Qi Linqing was also particularly eye-catching among this group of middle-aged men who were generally over 40 years old.
He is simply too young. Also has a pretty face.
The surrounding western media reporters were stunned when they saw him, wondering what happened to Huaxia this time
He even sent a brat!
Soon, the competition judges came on stage.
There are 15 judges in total, composed of well-known artists and curators from all over the world. There will be no bias towards nationality, and fairness and justice will be guaranteed.
"The following is the announcement of the competition rules of this International Ink Painting Competition - first, we will adopt a new way of scoring on-site painting within a limited time. Second...there is no limit to the subject matter. All painters present can play freely. Finally, there are no scores in the competition, only rankings …”
When the judges were speaking, the camera turned and fell on Qi Linqing.
The live barrage filled the screen.
[Licking face, don't disturb]
[Qi Linqing has already won 10,000 times just by looking at his looks]
[Brother, come on, it doesn't matter if you lose, you are still young! There will be more opportunities in the future]
[There is poison upstairs, you started cursing Qi Linqing for losing before the game even started, what's going on]
[Huaxia must win! ! ]
[Huaxia must win! ]
Although the barrage was very positive, most people knew in their hearts that Qi Linqing's chances of winning were slim.
Game start.
In front of each painter is a uniform set of solid wood tables, chairs and painting tools. You can also choose to bring your own paint, drawing paper, and brushes.
Komata Keisuke is good at painting flowers and birds, pine, and bamboo.
He swung his wrist and moved his pen like flying.
The vague outline of an "Eagle Picture" stands out on the paper.
His brushwork absorbed the tradition of his country, with bright and rich colors, lifelike animal forms and gloomy shapes.
This kind of slightly cold and abnormal style of painting has become popular in recent years.
Moreover, while retaining the traditional form, Komata Keisuke also incorporated some modern elements.
The camera stayed on him for a long time.
The domestic audience who were watching the live broadcast were all sweating for Qi Linqing.
[This master looks amazing]
[Worthy of its reputation, Komata Keisuke does have the ability to be called a master]
The narrator said: "Komata Keisuke is very keen in observing nature. His ink painting is elegant and unrestrained, with excellent color and composition. I don't know if you have noticed that although he writes very fast, the position of every stroke is just right. , The strokes are vigorous, as if they have been pondered for a long time. Without decades of ink painting skills, it is absolutely impossible to come up with such clean lines."
[What a beauty… ]
[A leisurely Zen state rushes towards my face]
However, Park Mingzhi from Bangzi Country has a small and fresh style of painting.
He is good at combining man and nature, using blue instead of ink, to create bold imaginative works.
This time on the field, he drew a picture of snow-blue blooming flowers.
Blossoming bright blue flowers bloom on the white paper, seemingly pure and unpretentious, but can bring a strong visual shock, making people unable to move away from the home port for a while.
The narrator said: "Pu Mingzhi is very expressive of the subtleties of life. He uses blue ink to repeatedly smear and overlap techniques to express the agility of flowers, which are full and full, revealing a sense of tranquility. Naked and open-minded. People can't help but pull away from the tedious daily life, and fall into the contemplation of life and life."
With the commentator's on-site explanation, even some live viewers who know nothing about Chinese painting can understand the game.
After the shots of the works of the two masters, they couldn't help but thump in their hearts.
Can Qi Linqing's paintings really surpass these two
The camera turned and landed in the middle of the arena.
From the wide-angle photography, it can be clearly seen that everyone present, whether it is the audience, reporters, idlers or judges, is staring closely at the young Chinese painter at the moment.
Qi Linqing didn't use the table. Instead, draw on a piece of paper suspended in the air. With a calm body and a calm mind, he dipped the ink and wrote the pen quickly with his eyes and hands, and in an instant he created an extremely brilliant light ink landscape painting.
Everyone was amazed to see this scene.
In terms of game viewing, he won.
[Fuck]
[I'm stunned]
[Is this something humans can do? ]
[Qi Linqing is awesome! ! ! ]
At the same time, the only Chinese judge in the venue, Professor Gao, who has become an American citizen, opened his mouth in surprise.
"This, this is Huaxia's long-lost stunt, painting with floating paper!"
Reporters who had never seen such a painting scrambled to pick up their cameras and take pictures non-stop.
Even the participating masters who are immersed in painting have heard a little about the sensation in the arena.
Komata Keisuke looked back at the young man beside him, and was stunned.
A hint of shock flashed across Park Mingzhi's single-lidded eyes.
And Qi Linqing kept writing, and continued!
He is immersed in the state of splattering ink wantonly, falling into the emotion of creation and cannot extricate himself!
With the perfection of the work, more and more people couldn't help being surprised.
The live camera was aimed at him, and he didn't move the slightest.
"His landscape paintings are too majestic..." Some judges couldn't help sighing.
This kind of regret and vigor that goes through the picture scroll and directly reaches people's hearts has already surpassed the aesthetics of national boundaries.
The narrator's excited voice came:
"We can see that the landscape painting in front of us shows a brand-new art form under the special painting method! It has reached the highest state of blending things and me, adapting to the situation, drawing flowers with brushstrokes, and being natural. The majestic and magnificent Mountains and rivers, the charm of Huangzhong Dalu. It seems to reveal the majestic spirit of seeing all the small mountains... "
[so perfect! ! ]
[One glance at ten thousand years, I seem to be as moved as I saw "Landscapes of Thousand Miles"]
[Oh my god, I was so excited to cry watching Qi Linqing paint]
[He is the pride of our China, woo woo woo]
[Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission. He picked up the pride of Chinese painting of our Chinese people! ]
[From today, I would like to call Qi Linqing the light of Chinese painting]
[Hahaha, look at the demented expressions of those crooked nuts behind the judges' seat, it lights up]
[Tsk tsk, a group of guys who have never seen the world. Now I know that our Huaxia traditional Chinese painting is amazing! ]
…
competition is over.
The works of all participating masters were uniformly hung on the wall for the judges to consider and analyze.
Since all of you present here are quite powerful Danqing masters, it is impossible to rank them in a short period of time.
The judges have to go through three or four rounds of review before they can give an answer several hours later.
But when these paintings are all put together, almost everyone thinks that the most eye-catching one is the green pine landscape painting by a young Chinese painter.
Art is like cooking. Although everyone has their own taste preferences, they can generally tell the difference between good and bad food.
The beauty of Qingsong Shanshui is universally recognized.
The tens of millions of domestic viewers who are watching the live broadcast obviously feel the same way.
[Qi Linqing is number one! ]
[His real painting skills are even better than I imagined]
[Time and time again, I'm blown away by this young man]
[It’s really not that we bring our own filters, but that he draws really well]
[If he doesn't come first this time, I have to wonder if there is something shady about the competition]
For Keisuke Komata, these few short hours are like days and years.
He was somewhat sure of his Chinese painting skills. But after meeting this Chinese painter who was dozens of years younger than him, everything changed.
Now he is starting to feel anxious, worried about gains and losses, and uneasy.
On the other hand, the expressions of Park Mingzhi and other participating painters were not much better.
Finally the judges came out with the results.
Park Mingzhi ranked third.
Keisuke Komata ranked second.
"This "Landscape of Green Pine" from a Chinese painter uses the long-lost painting method of floating paper to paint. Not only does it take a short time, but it is also unimaginable. This is the work of a 19-year-old boy. We have been I think—Mr. Qi Linqing should win the championship!"
As soon as the voice fell, the narrator jumped up impatiently and shouted at the camera in Chinese:
"First! Qi Linqing took the first place! He is the champion."
The narrator was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
Komata Keisuke and Park Mingzhi's expressions changed slightly, but there was nothing they could do.
In terms of strength, the opponent is indeed superior.
Is this the legendary genius of painting comparable to Picasso? They thought in a daze.
The audience and reporters in the audience applauded involuntarily.
During the live broadcast, the barrage gushed out the joy of victory like a tsunami.
[Won! ! ]
[Huaxia traditional Chinese painting is number one in the world! ]
…
Huaxia Painting and Calligraphy Association.
The old people who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help getting up and running to tell each other, weeping with joy.
They witnessed with their own eyes the glorious road to the rise of a great young Chinese painter.
This glory is shared by all Chinese people.
Mr. Xu stroked his beard and sighed, "I knew he could do it."
President: "Old Xu, your eyes are still so accurate."
"I didn't know he could draw on floating paper... This kid, how many surprises he has kept from us."
secondary.
Ji Youguang stared blankly at the live video on the tablet.
The student glanced at the photo with Qi Linqing on his desk, and enviously said: "Mr. Ji, you actually taught the world champion painter before."
"world champion… "
The corner of Ji Youguang's mouth almost reached the solar system.
He never dreamed that he, an ordinary art teacher, would have what he is today.
Gome.
Suddenly there was an overwhelming scream in the dormitory building.
"Professor Qi won the championship!"
"Ahhh!!!"
"We will be students of world champions in the future..."
Teacher's dormitory.
Lin Chenye was dumbfounded.
Happiness comes too suddenly like a tornado.
Will he be the professional course professor of the world champion in the future
Qi family.
Qi Hui, Yan Qiongfang, and Qi Yingjun stood in front of the big-screen TV early on, watching the live broadcast.
When he saw his son won the championship, Qi Hui's head was buzzing, and his face turned red, as if he had drunk alcohol.
During the period, Mr. Yan called, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
And his business partners, friends and relatives also called to congratulate him.
As a parent, if a child can achieve such an achievement, he has reached the pinnacle of life.
In an instant, Qi Hui felt boundless joy and excitement.
This is no matter how much money he makes, it is impossible to have such an emotional experience.
At the same time, strong regret filled his heart.
Yan Qiongfang held a pack of tissues and said with tears, "How much suffering he has endured until today as a child."
She couldn't help but hit Qi Hui hard, "It's all your fault! I didn't support him in painting back then."
Qi Hui was silent for a while, opened his mouth, and said, "I'm sorry. I regret it very much."
Now he is so regretful that his intestines are green.
Qi Yingjun: "You should tell Linqing personally."
This is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, a day worth remembering by all.
Since then, the Chinese traditional painting circle has opened a new era.
Get off the plane.
Qi Linqing glanced over the crowd and saw the man at a glance.
Female voice: "The following is a broadcast to find someone. The xx child who got lost at gate 2, please go to the service desk after hearing the broadcast. Your father is waiting for you there..."
The luggage in hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Qi Linqing strode over to hold the other's hand firmly.
found it.
Zhong Chen smiled at him.
Qi Linqing's eyes fell on the other party's right hand holding an old purple-gold wolf hair brush that was broken in the middle and repaired with jade.
Zhong Chen explained: "This is a gift for you."
"Luo Duan." He suddenly raised his head and asked seriously, "Will you marry me?"
"Okay, Master."
