Pens, ink, paper and inkstones are all ready.
On the table next to it, there are thousands of brushes and inkstones, paints, inks and other materials.
Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe were grinding.
On China TV3, Liu Tianzhi was invited to be a guest and responsible for commentary.
He explained to netizens:
"My teacher and Ning Guanzhu are now preparing for the first step of restoring the ancient paintings, which is to grind the ink."
"They want to create the same ink rhyme as "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"."
"This step sounds simple, but in fact it is very troublesome."
"Because they can only judge the proportions of water and ink when Wang Ximeng was painting by observing the painting."
After hearing Liu Tianzhi's explanation, netizens understood how rigorous cooperation is required to restore an ancient painting.
The paper in front of Ning Fei was the same as the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" scroll.
The ink used is the same ink.
Ning Fei prepared the ink and paper and first sketched on the paper.
The strokes of the brush move across the paper, changing from thick to light.
After the ink was completely soaked into the paper, Ning Fei took a magnifying glass, magnified the strokes he had sketched, and observed them carefully.
"My head is 30% green and pale."
He said calmly.
At the same time, Lin Shanhe also said: "Four layers of green on the head, three layers of green on the head, it's heavy."
The two people looked at each other, and immediately poured out all the ink they had grinded, then changed to a new brush and started grinding the ink again.
Liu Tianzhi continued to explain on the TV show:
"They need to find the same ink rhyme as "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", so they need to make constant adjustments."
"The restoration of cultural relics requires care."
Netizens watched quietly.
This show is different from all other shows.
The exchange between Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe was very brief, with only a few words, all about the dosage and final result.
At other times, the two of them were concentrating on comparing the ink rhyme they drew with the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
Once, once, once.
The side was stained with various dark green brushes, and the table was already piled full of them.
Every time they adjusted the ink, they would compare it with the painting with great expectations, and then shake their heads in disappointment.
Failed again and again, but came close to the final result again and again.
Netizens admired the perseverance of these two people. From the beginning to the end, Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe only had concentration on their expressions.
Everyone could see that the two of them were really immersed in it.
Is this the realm of a master
Perhaps, only such people can really bear the title of master.
"Still not right."
After the results of the two people were close, Lin Shanhe used a magnifying glass to compare the two and found that the ink they drew was still different from the ink in "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
Did you fail at the first step
Netizens silently prayed for the two people in their hearts.
Ning Fei also frowned. He looked at "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". The charm of this painting was still there, and Ning Fei could clearly feel the majestic artistic conception in it.
Therefore, he was even more determined to restore this Chinese treasure.
At this time, he noticed something.
"No, look here."
Ning Fei said something.
"The side edges of this mountain are not quite right with the ink rhyme. It's just that if the head is green and the head is green, it can't be so smooth."
"It's rouge, he added rouge to it!"
"It's amazing! Wang Ximeng is such a genius. No wonder the landscapes he painted are so freehand. He actually mixed some plant pigments into the mineral pigments!"
Ning Fei's expression was a little excited. After hearing Ning Fei's words, Lin Shanhe also looked over intently.
He looked at the ink rhyme carefully, and then he also laughed:
"It's rouge! It seems that when we were studying the ingredients this afternoon, we were missing an ingredient!"
"No wonder the ink rhyme we draw is always wrong!"
Lin Shanhe also became excited. He hurriedly asked Wang Xu to find some rouge. Fortunately, the cultural relics restoration center had extra supplies, so this matter did not take long.
Netizens looked at the live broadcast with amazement.
Although they couldn't understand what Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe were talking about, they knew that these two people were very powerful.
Then, the two people mixed some rouge into the ink and continued to study the ink rhyme. This time, the speed was much faster. In about ten minutes, they found the most correct ink rhyme, which was the same as the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Mo Yun is exactly the same.
If you look carefully with a magnifying glass, you will find that the ink patterns and textures drawn by Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe on the paper are exactly the same as those in "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
The two men adjusted the ink, and then they did the same thing again.
They took out a new brush, dipped it in ink, and drew another line on the paper. Then, look carefully with a magnifying glass.
Immediately, use a new brush and repeat the process.
Netizens are even more curious, what are they doing? Haven't you found the most correct ink? Why outline it again.
At this time, Liu Tianzhi explained on the TV show:
"My master and Ning Guanzhu are doing the second step, painting. In this step, they need to master the strength of the ink soaking into the rice paper."
"To put it simply, the paper is divided into thousands of layers. The ink of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has penetrated to the 600th layer, and their ink must also have penetrated to the 600th layer."
"So, they need to know how much ink the brush needs to be dipped in, and they need to be familiar with how hard to use when drawing."
"It's the details."
"Only true masters of traditional Chinese painting can do this."
When he said this, Liu Tianzhi's tone was full of admiration.
Netizens found it even more eye-opening.
They never imagined that just repairing a little Chinese painting would require such precise craftsmanship.
It’s no wonder that the Palace Museum has not maintained this traditional Chinese painting.
Because the difficulty is really too high.
"Several levels of certainty."
After practicing for a while, Lin Shanhe turned to Ning Fei and asked.
"Currently on the sixth floor."
Ning Fei looked at the ink mark outlined by his pen and said quietly.
"Start when you reach the eighth level."
Lin Shanhe returned to the road.
"OK."
In fact, Ning Fei had just practiced a few times and was able to control the intensity of the ink 100%.
After all, he has skills. These precise techniques are difficult for others, but they are very simple for him.
However, in order to take care of Lin Shanhe's face and to not appear so abrupt, Ning Fei deliberately lowered the possibility.
Then, the two people traced and compared for a while before finally starting the most critical step:
Painting.
"The temperature, if it rises two degrees, it will cool down when I say it will cool down."
Lin Shanhe said something to Wang Xu next to him.
Wang Xu nodded.
Then, Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe each held a piece of pen and ink and came to a place that needed to be repaired in "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
When netizens saw this scene, they were so nervous that they did not dare to take a breath.
As everyone knows, the most critical part is coming.
Ning Fei and Lin Shanhe looked at each other, and they both saw confidence in each other's eyes.
"Are you ready?" Lin Shanhe asked
"No problem." Ning Fei nodded.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Two people hold pens at the same time, grind at the same time, and paint at the same time.
One old and one young, both looked calm and steady as a mountain.
Netizens discovered that when these two people started painting, their aura completely changed.
The tip of the brush is filled with ink, just right, one point more but not too much, one point less but not enough.
Ning Fei only used the tip of the brush to outline and perfect this ancient painting little by little, following the ink rhyme of "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
The most difficult part of Chinese painting is the charm.
He needs to master the charm of this painting in order to paint the charm.
However, his skills are very high, so there is no need to worry too much.
The drone hovered very high, and the focal length of the lens continued to increase, magnifying the area outlined by Ning Fei.
Netizens can clearly see how Ning Fei perfected that small area.
The area was only about four square centimeters, which was insignificant compared to the entire painting.
An ordinary person might be able to cover this area with just two strokes.
Ning Fei, on the other hand, carefully perfected this area bit by bit.
Upon closer inspection, netizens discovered that the place Ning Fei had painted was completely integrated with the original painting, and it was completely natural. There was no trace of any irregularity at all.
This is his strength.
This is also the reason why he can repair Chinese paintings.
Netizens were hooked on the feeling of watching two masters of traditional Chinese painting concentrating on restoring a classic Chinese painting.
At this moment, every time Ning Fei writes, it affects the hearts of thousands of netizens.
The director of China TV3, the director and deputy director of the Palace Museum, and others were so nervous that they did not dare to take a breath.
That is a priceless ancient painting, a classic treasure of the Forbidden City.
If Fan Ningfei and Lin Shanhe make a mistake, the loss will be immeasurable.
But these two people are too strong.
Until the two people finally repaired the painting, there was no mistake at all.
The two stopped writing at the same time and looked at each other with a smile.
Then, Lin Shanhe shouted: "Repair completed, lower the temperature."
Hearing his voice, everyone's attention was attracted.
