After I Died, I Became Popular Again

Chapter 71

The progress of painting pays attention to step by step.

Qi Linqing studied Western painting at first, and now he has started to explore the topic of combining Chinese and Western.

Since the Republic of China, this topic has been flourishing for a long time. It's a common concept, but one that often applies to the medical world. But later, in the eyes of the artists, there were hidden mysteries during the period, and it gradually became a palace step leading to a higher realm of art.

So Qi Linqing is currently copying the paintings of well-known Chinese painters in modern times - Qi Baishi's shrimp, Xu Beihong's horse, Zhang Daqian's lotus, Han Meilin's panda, Lou Shibai's duck, Liu Jishao's tiger... He found them all on the Internet search platform Mount Tai Beidou.

And because of the historical background, they did not blindly imitate the past, but created a new style of Chinese painting.

Mr. Niu once said that if we can see farther than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

Qi Linqing is well versed in this. He went to second-hand bookstores and searched for the most high-definition collection of paintings on the Internet, or heard that there was a museum in City B that had a collection of these famous paintings by these masters, so he took advantage of his vacation to visit them. Copying, the most important thing is similarity.

He wants to know what he knows.

In order to draw exquisite shrimps like Master Qi, Qi Linqing even went to the vegetable market to observe the lively shrimps in the basket.

Seeing that his attire was out of tune with the surroundings, the vegetable vendor asked casually, "Do you want to buy it? Shrimp prices are cheap today."

Qi Linqing raised his head with a serious expression: "Then bring me some."

He did not use catty, but used the quantity unit word "only".

Finally, I carefully selected four vigorous shrimps in the basket, some big and some small, some fat and some thin, in short, they had different postures.

"How much?" he asked.

Vegetable vendor: "..."

I've been selling vegetables for many years, but this is the first time I've seen such idiots.

Four prawns cost only a few dollars. The vegetable vendor watched the young man leave happily carrying the water bag, which was really unbelievable.

Soon, the housekeeper and Cai Ji of the courtyard also discovered that something was wrong with Qi Linqing.

In addition to tending flowers and plants, reading newspapers and online news, he usually hides in the basement and studies painting.

But now, Qi Linqing has been staring at the four newly bought shrimps in the transparent glass tank all day.

Cai Ji and the housekeeper looked at each other.

The housekeeper asked cautiously, "Master, do you want to raise shrimp?"

Cai Ji: "... I don't know either."

With the appearance of the other party, it seemed that he was almost insane.

In desperation, Cai Ji had no choice but to contact Zhong Chen on WeChat to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, it fell into Zhong Chen's arms.

He took his two younger brothers and the camera to the courtyard that night.

In fact, Zhong Chen knew why Qi Linqing was so obsessed with a few shrimps—he was an idiot.

In ancient times and today, which famous artist who has become famous and has been famous forever is not an idiot.

In his previous life, Fu Yi was obsessed with studying mountains and rivers, and traveled all the way without hesitation. He believes that seeing is believing. A painter must work hard on real objects in order to draw works that can truly touch people's hearts.

"Can I record your painting process and put it on the Internet?" Zhong Chen asked straight to the point.

He knew that Qi Linqing would agree.

From the other party's live broadcast of Chinese painting Zhong Chen, it can be seen that Qi Linqing has no secrets.

Sure enough, Qi Linqing nodded and said "OK".

But he also has a requirement, that is, he should not show his face and fame like a newcomer to traditional Chinese painting.

Zhong Chen didn't intend to slap Qi Linqing's face at first. He has a small belly, but he is not willing to share the people he likes with the people of the whole country.

Qi Linqing led them into the basement.

He planned to copy Master Qi's shrimp work at night, but now he just added three people to watch.

The two younger brothers of Zhong Chen were quick in handling things, and they were not talkative. They quickly set up the camera and stood aside with their hands behind their backs.

They are out of the society now, and they have serious jobs. They wear suits and leather shoes and dyed black hair, but they still exude a strong social atmosphere standing on the left and right sides of Zhong Chen.

Qi Linqing didn't care.

He knew that Zhong Chen had started a live streaming company in private, and he also wanted to help the other party.

But Qi Linqing didn't want to provoke suspicion from netizens. Last time, his identity as a newcomer to the live broadcast of Chinese painting was almost revealed, and there was a lot of trouble. Fortunately, there are a large number of people who don't believe it, otherwise his current life would not be peaceful.

He looked at the suspicious red mole on the tiger's mouth on the back of his hand for a while, dipped some ink with a brush, and painted it black.

The shadows of the black dots are smudged, which is extremely realistic at first glance.

That's it.

Qi Linqing smiled relievedly, and at the same time as he was studying the ink, he freed up his other hand to spread the paper and prepare to paint.

The camera is aimed at the table, faithfully and clearly recording the painting process.

In Zhong Chen's plan, this video will be edited into two versions and uploaded to station B.

The Douyin anchor market is gradually becoming saturated, and now the pressure of competition is huge. He decided to find another way and take the promotion route of station B.

After all, compared with Douyin, the popularity of Bilibili is not low, and it is even more suitable for the development of technology flow.

Zhong Chen watched Qi Linqing's whole process of painting without taking his eyes off it.

He prefers to watch the other party's work, and his heart feels like being scratched by a cat's paw, itchy and crisp.

Qi Linqing copied Master Qi's shrimp. After studying for so long, he wrote like a god, and the ink was exhausted.

The outline of the shrimp outlined by a few strokes brings the freshness of the market. It seems that people can immediately smell the smell of frying oil smoke from the old alleys and streets.

The younger brother thoughtfully handed over a bottle of eye drops and said:

"Brother Zhong, you've been staring at him for so long, why don't you take a break?"

Another younger brother echoed: "That's right Brother Zhong, it's been more than an hour, why don't you do eye exercises and continue slowly."

Zhong Chen couldn't bear it anymore and growled, "Shut up!"

How embarrassing it would be for Qi Linqing to hear him.

Brothers: "..."

At this moment, Qi Linqing suddenly put down his pen.

He smiled warmly at Zhong Chen, and said, "Let's take a rest."

Under the warm light, Zhong Chen was completely dazzled by this smile.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and responded in a low voice: "Okay."

The younger brothers who witnessed the elder brother's instant transformation from a tiger to a soft cat fell silent again.

Sure enough, is this love

The younger brothers made up their editing knowledge overnight, and the next day, the video was uploaded to Station B.

After a long half-day review, there was no disturbance at first.

It wasn't until later that they took more pictures and copied more masters' works, a work about Qi Linqing's imitation of Zhang Daqian became popular.

The number of playbacks exceeded one million, and the barrage was blurred.

Recently, Zhang Daqian's paintings have become extremely popular internationally, and even fetched more than one billion yuan at auction.

Under the cusp of this storm, this extremely realistic imitation painting has entered the public eye.

[Good guy, this is too similar! ! ]

[Grandma like a printer]

[I went to see his other works, one by one and one by one]

[If these paintings hadn't been handed down from generation to generation and were collected in the xx museum, I would have thought they were originals]

[And do you feel that Grandma's imitation painting has an indescribable taste]

[? ]

[I'm an art student, so I can't tell you the details. That is, we know that this is a fake painting, but we can still watch the whole video with relish]

[I learned a lot from it]

[+1]

[With such superb painting skills, who is the grandma who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts? ]

[Definitely not a student! I think Grandma is a teacher]

[Don't guess the occupation here]

[I see that Grandma imitates so much that she can fake it in antiques]

[! ! ! ]

[yes]

[His paintings are completely fake, no flaws can be found]

[Too awesome, too awesome]

[I love his picture of shrimp imitating Master Qi Baishi the most]

[Although it is a copy, it does not lose the essence of Grandma herself]

[Where can I buy Grandma's paintings, I will pay a lot of money]

[laughing hahahahahaha]

[You go to private message him]

[Wait, I found out that this grandma is an artist under the live broadcast company run by Zhong Chen]

[? ! ]

[Could it be Qi Linqing hhh (just kidding)]

[How can it be]

[Look at the mole on the tiger's mouth on the back of his hand is clearly black, while Qi Linqing is red]

[. ]

[Are you blind? ! The positions of these two moles are exactly the same]

[Comparing the hand shape, I feel that this grandma is really similar to the newcomer to traditional Chinese painting]

[So....he is Qi Linqing? ]

[really]

[I do not believe]

[Qi Linqing himself is currently busy with the college entrance examination, so he should not be so free]

Netizens have different opinions, which has brought huge enthusiasm to the artist named "Lan Luo" at station B.

In just one month, the number of fans of Lan Luo's B station broke the 100,000 mark.

The maximum video playback volume is 5 million, and there are some rewards.

When the traffic is realized, you will definitely get a lot of money.

Taking advantage of Lan Luo's success, the Qingyi live broadcast company established by Zhong Chen also signed many newcomers.

While studying in the studio, his Internet celebrity career is in full swing.

When Feng Jiaqing found out, he was very surprised: "Could it be that you two are the legendary masters of time management?"

Qi Linqing: "?"

Zhong Chen: "."

People are in the studio, dating, studying, making money, career and love with both hands.

And what about myself

Nothing.

This made Feng Jiaqing start to reflect.

After being fortunate enough to observe Fu Yi's paintings at Qi Linqing's house that day, Yan Jiade went back and thought a lot.

His impression of Qi Linqing is still in the Mo Cup Chinese Painting Competition, the other party is a very talented Chinese painting genius.

He privately thinks that Qi Linqing is very likely to be a descendant of Fu Yichuan, who knows many lost secrets, but after all, he is young and his painting skills are slightly inferior.

However, Qi Linqing's painting in "Tangyue Fengyun" that broke out on the Internet is completely different from his level in the competition.

If the paintings of the opponent during the competition can still be called the works of students, but the paintings in the TV series can only be the works of masters.

Yan Jiade once zoomed in to observe and sighed inwardly.

This level is enough to compete with top Chinese painting masters like Mo Mingxuan.

He wanted to convince himself that the paintings in the TV series were most likely written by Qi Linqing.

But what about the scene where the other party painted by himself? It can't be P's.

Moreover, Qi Linqing's paintings are somewhat inconsistent with those of those masters.

Like Mo Mingxuan, when he gets older, his paintings will inevitably reveal the meaning of time and aging.

But the artistic conception of these two paintings in the TV series is extraordinarily vibrant, like the ancient young genius Fu Yi, revealing a strong youthful spirit.

The contradiction between the two made him hesitate for a long time.

On this day, Yan Jiade’s student Li Binhong sent him a message:

[Professor Yan, I was seriously stimulated today]

Yan Jiade was concerned: [What's wrong? ]

Li Binhong: [It has something to do with the recent trend on the Internet, that boy named Qi Linqing... Hey, I don't even know where to start. The crew of "Tangyue Fengyun" once invited me to be a painting substitute, but at that time I refused on the excuse that I was too busy competing. The art director of this show sent me the painting in the TV series, but at that time I thought it was the work of some big guy, and it made a joke. ]

[Thinking about it now, who would have thought that this was actually drawn by an 18-year-old boy! ! ! ]

Yan Jiade looked a little dazed. Yeah, who would have thought...

The only thing he could know was that Qi Linqing was about to stand on the cusp of the Chinese painting world.

Now the wind is raging outside, but it is not peaceful.

After Lanluo painter at station B became famous, Zhong Chen received a private message from Shashi.

The other party was so bold as to invite "Lan Luo" to make a fake painting!

He said that he would provide the drawing paper materials here, and Lan Luo only needs to imitate the paintings according to their needs, and the remuneration will be generous.

In this regard, Zhong Chen directly and unceremoniously submitted it to the police for investigation.

He hated these counterfeiters the most in his life. The current antique world is precisely because of this undercurrent.

But he didn't expect that after calling the police, Qi Linqing's courtyard was stolen.
