Qi Linqing made a living by painting in his previous life, not calligraphy, which means he is better at the former.
The essence of calligraphy art is actually to evolve on the basis of the structure of Chinese characters, so as to gradually produce various styles of fonts.
The skeleton shape and direction order of calligraphy have been fixed. It is not like painting, which can be imagined without relying on utensils.
Qi Linqing has what he considers to be a fairly good talent in painting, but his calligraphy seems a bit unsatisfactory.
During the two years when he was terminally ill, he was inspired by two calligraphers and studied hard for a while. Although he could still write in all kinds of fonts, he was only good at Xingkai and Caoli.
——At this time, the inscription of this sample "Hundred Kingfisher" is Cao Li.
Qi Linqing looked at the painting and had more insights in an instant.
When the field manager shouted "Action!" and knocked off the slate, three cameras began to revolve around him in response.
Qi Linqing had never seen this kind of machine before, and felt like a dark monster exuding metallic luster. He was very interested at the moment, and his eyes moved from the painting to it for a while.
Director Shen's face darkened instantly.
The field manager tried his best to wink at Qi Linqing: Brother! big brother! ! You can't be distracted when you're acting (burst of tears).
Seeing this scene, Qi Lele showed a slightly worried expression.
Director Shen's temper is notoriously bad.
He won't praise actors who go through the scene once, but if they make a slight mistake in front of the camera, he will scold them bloody.
Just when Director Shen was about to reprimand Qi Linqing—
Qi Linqing finally realized that he was working for others, lowered his head and began to draw.
It doesn't make any sense to be curious right now, it's better to go home and find Du Niang.
After all, what if the other party is dissatisfied and deducts money? He often encountered this kind of thing in his previous life.
Qi Linqing thought that she had to hurry up.
…
Director Shen sat behind the monitor and asked Lai Ze in a low voice, "Do you really think he's good?"
Even if he believed in professionals, Shen Cheng was a little disappointed by Qi Linqing's performance just now.
Lai Ze pointed to the screen and said, "Just keep watching, the answers are all here."
Director Shen looked up—
Without the blond hair that made people stand out, the boy in front of the camera looked much more pleasing to the eye. He is thin, and his height of 1.8 meters is just about the same as that of Qi Lele. There is a solemn and ancient atmosphere in every gesture.
This time Qi Linqing didn't inscription first, but followed the normal order of painting - dipping ink and splashing directly.
He is used to starting from the details. Two drops of ink are dotted on the white paper, and the line is slowly drawn outward, first carving the mouth and nose of the kingfisher.
But at first glance, this painting method will make the viewer confused.
Just like now, there was a commotion among the onlookers.
"What did he draw?"
"The beak is not like a bird's beak, but like a duck's!"
Qi Linqing went to draw a line as soon as he finished drawing the kingfisher's mouth. From this shooting angle, the shape is indeed a bit strange.
Qi Lele stood aside and turned her back silently, as if she couldn't bear to witness her brother's car rollover scene with her own eyes.
The producer sneered, "It's better to let Qi Lele do it. The two of them draw birds, one looks like a chicken and the other looks like a duck. They're not the same."
Qi Lele: "..."
"That's right, Director Shen, why are you going to the trouble of hiring a high school student who has been hacked by the whole Internet to be a substitute?" The actor who usually has a good relationship with Qi Lele hurriedly stepped on him.
Hearing these words, Director Shen felt inexplicably irritated. He no longer stared at the screen, but got up from his chair and went to the corner to smoke a cigarette. He was already very disappointed in Qi Linqing.
Did his friend lie to him? Maybe this blond boy who can write good calligraphy is actually not good at Chinese painting... His expectations are too high. Think carefully about how there is such a young genius who is proficient in calligraphy and painting in this world, and I just happened to meet him
While everyone was talking, Qi Linqing had finished sketching the outline of a kingfisher, and began to trace the peach blossom branches and leaves underneath. He didn't copy "Hundred Kingfisher" mechanically, but used his brushwork according to his own habits.
If the other party is not satisfied, then he has nothing to do. Qi Linqing thought, he can only draw so far.
…
Finish a cigarette.
Director Shen stomped out the cigarette butt on the ground, turned around and walked back to the shooting scene.
"The filming of Director Shen has been finished." The scene manager pointed to the painting on the desk.
Daoman casually raised his eyes to look over, but saw that the expressions of the people present were different, and he was slightly taken aback.
Qi Lele was talking softly with a few actors who were usually close friends: "Brother is really good at drawing, I didn't even know he could have this talent."
Qi Lele is not stingy with words of praise, and his tone is sincere from the heart, which is in stark contrast to the extremely jealous Qi Linqing in "Metamorphosis". The actors couldn't help thinking silently that Lele was simply an angel.
There was also the producer, who conjured up a magnifying glass from nowhere and bent over to study the paintings on the table carefully, with an embarrassed expression as if he was trying to find a crack in the ground.
A question mark slowly appeared on Director Shen's head? , but walked to the desk like the wind under his feet, with a faint expectation.
Could it be that the blond boy turned his back on his fame
But when he saw the painting, his usual calm expression cracked.
It was he who misunderstood, and his friend did not lie to him.
It is obviously a copy, why does it seem to be more realistic and charming than the original "Hundred Kingfisher"! !
…
I haven't studied field affairs for a few years, so I don't understand Chinese painting at all. He stared at Qi Linqing's work for a while, and then looked at "Hundred Kingfisher", his face full of incredulity.
One is flat and the other is three-dimensional.
Why is everyone praising Qi Linqing for his good painting
"These two paintings don't look alike at all." The field manager murmured.
Several people present also echoed: "Yeah, although this kid's paintings are quite good, the feeling is completely different."
Lai Ze's face was complicated, and he explained: "Because he is not copying... but he used his own brushwork to express the agility of flowers and birds in another way."
People subconsciously ignore the outside world when encountering magical things.
Just now Lai Ze has not participated in the speeches of everyone.
Because you can't hear it at all!
Just now his attention was entirely on witnessing the birth of a living kingfisher.
Lai Ze's major is oil painting, and he has seen a lot of three-dimensional shapes created by shadow frames in the Western art system, but this is the first time he has seen Chinese paintings that can also use lines to draw a clear sense of volume and space!
This has completely surpassed his system cognition.
Director Shen looked at the blond boy, and was a little worried that he was too vicious to scare the other party just now, so he subconsciously softened his voice, "Thank you today, I will call the field manager to transfer the money to you later, do you want ZFB or WeChat?"
Qi Linqing: "Can you give me cash?"
He doesn't know how to use these two software.
Director Shen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Of course."
Director Shen asked the field manager to go to a nearby bank to withdraw money, and specially put the money in a red envelope and handed it to the other party.
Qi Linqing took it, opened it and counted it on the spot, and asked in a low voice:
"Why is there only three thousand yuan?"
Director Shen was embarrassed, "Isn't that enough..."
"Tangyue Fengyun" was originally a small-budget web drama, and it can't be too much money to hire actors and a stand-in.
According to the market, it was originally only one thousand and five. The three thousand yuan was specially applied for by Director Shen and the producer.
Qi Linqing: "The owner of the mounting shop told me that there are more than ten thousand."
Director Shen: "???"
Director Shen paused, and said honestly, "He lied to you."
Qi Linqing: "..."
After working hard for a long time, the sum of money on my body was still not enough to buy paints.
Qi Linqing sighed faintly, thinking that even if she lived a new life, she would not be able to escape the fate of poverty.
"Are you short of money?" Director Shen asked tentatively.
Qi Linqing said vaguely, "Well, almost."
After rebirth, Qi Linqing wanted to fulfill her last wish—to continue the painting of "Ten Thousand Miles of Landscape" that she had not finished in her previous life. Modern mass-produced paints in boxes are not easy to use, so he is currently anxious to earn money to buy natural ancient paints sold by the owner of the mounting shop for secondary processing and coloring.
Director Shen was overjoyed when he heard the words. Although he didn't know why the young master who had just come back from the Qi family was short of money, it was a good thing for him.
"Tangyue Fengyun" is an online drama adapted from Jin Jiang's novel. In the novel, there was originally a confidant character Gao Lanxi who played with the second male Li Tianyu. But because the plot required a lot of drawing skills for this character, Shen Cheng never found a suitable candidate, so he simply deleted him from the script.
Director Shen looked at the handsome young man in front of him, except for the blond hair that was like dry grass, the appearance of the other party was not inferior to that of Qi Lele, and even slightly better.
Moreover, he and Qi Lele happened to be the protagonists who had been on the hot search a while ago and participated in "Metamorphosis" "accidentally swapped 18 years of life".
If Qi Linqing is allowed to play Gao Lanxi... maybe it can create a wave of early publicity.
"We still lack a role here." Director Shen said, "Are you interested in acting?"
Qi Linqing declined: "Sorry, no."
When he first entered this book, he didn't quite understand why Qi Lele could regard acting as a career he had devoted his whole life to.
Even knowing that the times have changed, in Qi Linqing's view, it is still difficult for an actor to be a decent actor.
"How easy is it to rely on your face? It's a pity that you can't be an actor with this face!" the producer interjected.
In her previous life, Qi Linqing had an ordinary appearance, and she didn't pay much attention to appearance, but in this life, she was asked if she wanted to be an actress because of her good-looking face.
He said firmly, "I'm not interested in acting."
Director Shen was choked for a moment, and continued: "This character doesn't even have a single line, so you don't need to act. You just need to draw a picture like you did just now and let us film the process. You can copy it or not, this time Can I paint landscapes?"
Gao Lanxi is a painter famous for his landscapes. Director Shen wanted to fit the original work as closely as possible.
Qi Linqing fell into deep thought.
"..."
Like a row of crows flying by.
Director Shen was digging his toes, wondering if his request was too presumptuous
Too. With Qi Linqing's identity, there is no need to rely on his face or strength. Behind him is the wealthy Qi family. When the other party said that he was short of money, he was probably just joking.
Besides, if the other party can draw flowers and birds, he may not necessarily be able to paint more difficult landscapes...
"Can I have seven thousand eight hundred yuan?" Qi Linqing asked suddenly.
Qi Lin calculated the money for the paint minus the 6,000 he had on hand, and there was a difference of 7,800 yuan.
Director Shen looked blank, "What?"
Qi Linqing: "I want to ask if the salary can be 7,800 yuan
"Of course." Director Shen hurriedly said: "If you want, I will give you a big red envelope of 10,000 yuan!"
Qi Linqing nodded, and immediately agreed: "Okay, that's fine."
Director Shen: "..."
Unexpectedly, mere money could touch the young master's heart.
