Failed to show off wealth, relying on talent to become popular in the entertainment industry

Chapter 680: This is called knowing a little bit?!
"Ren, your campus is still so charming and full of history. I like it very much!"

"Would you consider staying, Traud, don't you like our roast duck very much?"

"Hahahahahaha, no matter what you say, you are still so humorous!"

Traud, a white-haired and energetic little old man, is not talking about business. He really likes the campus of the University of Washington.

As I get older, I have little resistance to the feeling of mountain pavilions, waterside pavilions, and fishing lakes.

Yukino in the back was also looking at the scenery on both sides with great interest. Although the sense of technology was not as strong as theirs, this sense of antique history was indeed a beautiful scenery that could not be seen in beautiful countries.

Of course, she would enjoy the peace more if there weren't two annoying chatty people around her.

Jamie and Park Hee-joon were stunned the first time they saw Yukino, and they were constantly attentive to this delicate, capable and sassy girl.

Both are from top universities. These two people are very ordinary but extremely confident.

Jamie's Yelu University achieved good results in the top 16 in the NCBB National Championships that ended not long ago. Jimmy also relied on his strong physical advantages and superb skills to win the MVP of several games. The basketball team of Lu University can even be said to have become a hot basketball star among college students all over the country.

You must know that the beautiful country's emphasis on basketball is completely different from our country.

In particular, NCBB can send 85% of players to the NBA every year. Entering the NBA means that honor, money, and beauties are all at your fingertips.

So Jimmy was very proud.

Park Hee-joon is even regarded as one of the strongest poets of the new generation in Bangzi Kingdom. His representative work, the Chinese poem "Farewell", has given him a very proud position in the poetry world of Bangzi Kingdom.

Yukino, who was pursued by these two people, was not only Mari's top school beauty this year, but also a famous genius girl.

She was admitted to the graduate school of general mathematics at MIT at the age of 16, and was admitted to the doctoral program at the age of 18. Her life seemed to be on a roll. Last year, she also won the Cole Algebra Prize because she changed her understanding of p-group representation.

This female math genius is the reason why several major international joint universities have crushed BGI this time.

To be honest, although there are many geniuses in Huada, it is really difficult to find someone who can compete with Yukino in the field of mathematics in terms of graduate students and doctoral students. This competition is also a section that several major universities in China have given up by default.

The bottom line for several principals is that they don’t lose in calligraphy and poetry.

"Principal Troud, want to try our school's cafeteria? Meet our students by the way?"

After shopping for a long time, Ren Boquan asked Traud with a smile.

"Okay! Last time I came to Mari, I took out the delicacies we packed at the bottom of the box. Have you prepared the most amazing dishes for me?"

"Don't worry, today's meal will definitely not disappoint you!"

Ren Boquan smiled and led Traud and his party towards the canteen.

From a distance, he saw many students surrounding the entrance of the cafeteria, and they couldn't even squeeze in. Ren Boquan frowned slightly, what's going on?
He glanced at an accompanying teacher next to him, and the teacher immediately hurried to the cafeteria.

Seeing this, Traud was a bit teasing: "Ren, does your BGI cafeteria not have enough? Why are the cafeterias so crowded on weekends?"

Ren Boquan was already angry.

There are actually many canteens in BGI, and today is Saturday!

Logically speaking, there were relatively few people in the cafeteria on Saturdays, so Ren Boquan did not ask people to evacuate the cafeteria in advance, but just ordered the chef to prepare some special dishes.

Unexpectedly, it was blocked inexplicably!

But soon, the exchange group saw that all the students crowded in the cafeteria dispersed, and the teacher just now also hurried over.

"Sorry principal, it's because the participating students are in the cafeteria, so..."

When Ren Boquan heard this, he immediately thought of something and his expression softened slightly.

"It's him?"

The teacher nodded.

"No wonder."

When Traud heard their riddle words, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why are there so many people watching the participating students in the cafeteria? Who is he? Is he famous among you students?"

Yukino Jamie and other students also looked over curiously.

Ren Boquan smiled and said, "He is a graduate student we specially recruited to study Chinese language and literature with Dean Ji."

Jamie sneered disdainfully after hearing this and muttered: "Students from top universities in China have never seen much of the world. So many people came to see just one graduate student. In our school, there are only well-known business tycoons or NBA stars. That’s why you get this kind of treatment.”

One thing to say is that although the players of Yelu's basketball team play well, their quality is indeed not high.

Various scandals are emerging one after another. Some time ago, a player was involved in a sex scandal. However, because Yelu's status in the beautiful country is still very high, and it is more open over there, nothing happened. .

Jamie was a little jealous in his heart. After all, when they won the top 16 of NCBB, the students in their school did not pursue him so much.

Jamie was a little unhappy that a graduate student who could only recite two acid poems could receive such treatment.

"Jamie!"

Troud scolded.

Although Jamie's voice was not loud, he did not mean to hide it, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

Then Troud said to Ren Boquan: "Sorry, Ren, these sports kids are not very good at talking."

Although he said he was sorry, Troud didn't look too apologetic. Instead, he seemed to think just as Jamie thought, these students from China's top universities were too unsure.

Ren Boquan waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, let's go."

Only the teacher looked a little strange.

A group of people entered the cafeteria and saw more than 20 people gathered together to talk and laugh. Most of the students in the cafeteria had been evacuated by the teacher just now, but the few remaining students looked on with excitement. Looking at a boy among the more than 20 people.

When the students in the exchange group saw the boy's appearance clearly, several of them exclaimed!

"White.Su!"

Two girls even had their eyes wide open! If Troud hadn't been there, I would have wanted to rush up and take a photo.

Hearing the sound here, the group of students also followed the sound and looked over. Then a group of people stood up and greeted Ren Boquan:

"Principal Ren!"

Ren Boquan waved to them with a smile and said: "This is Principal Traud from Mari, this is Professor Katz from Yelu, and this"

A group of postgraduate and doctoral students greeted Traud and others one after another.

Traud also saw Su Bai in the crowd.

After Su Bai became famous in the world music competition, his influence in the beautiful country is not inferior to those of Grammy and Hollywood superstars.

Especially the young people in the United States, they can be said to admire Su Bai to the extreme!

The American people have always advocated personal heroism, and Su Bai, who suppressed the world's big-name singers with his own strength, created many popular songs, and defeated Medho, is simply the male protagonist of a cool novel!
Even the old principal, Troud, knew Su Bai!

Not to mention the students, several foreign girls in the exchange group looked at Su Bai with tears in their eyes!
So handsome!

Su Bai's face is a very standard dark-colored handsome guy, with a three-dimensional facial contour, a clear jawline, large and deep eyes, and bright black pupils. If you look into his eyes carelessly, you will feel as if you will fall into his pupils.

The appeal of this face has transcended national borders, both in China and abroad.

The people present had only seen Su Bai on TV before, and when they saw him in person, they felt that he was even more handsome than on TV.

Even Yukino, who was devoted to academics and research, felt a little restless inside.

Want to bump into!

Seeing that his students were not as good as those from Hua University, Troud looked visibly embarrassed.

And Jamie was the most awkward.

They had mocked others before, but they didn't expect that they would slap themselves in the face so soon!

The most important thing is what he just said: "Only business tycoons or NBA stars will receive this kind of treatment."

These foreign students may not necessarily know about Su Bai's other industries, but they definitely know about Su Bai's Bai Ze and the ambiguous relationship between Su Bai and several top luxury groups.

There is nothing wrong with saying that Su Bai is a business tycoon, even though this person has always claimed that he has no talent for business.

As for NBA stars
Football and basketball have similar status in the world, and football may even be better. However, this overly handsome young man in front of him once beat the World Footballer of the Year and, with his own efforts, brought his commercial value to the bottom.

To be honest, even though he was beaten by Su Bai, Meddu's skills are still among the top three in today's football.

Correspondingly, let alone ordinary NBA stars, perhaps only a few basketball superstars can compare with him?

Of course Ren Boquan saw the reactions of these people and felt secretly happy.

Just now, he deliberately didn't mention Su Bai's name, and looked like he let it go. Wasn't it just for the expressions of Troud and the others at this moment!

So comfortable!

I have to say that Principal Ren is quite sinister.

Troud was embarrassed for a moment, then his expression immediately returned to his cheerful state.

"Ren, as far as I know, isn't Su Bai a musician? Why is he the student participating in your exchange competition?"

Strictly speaking, wasn't the purpose of this communication between Troud and the others to eliminate some of the influence brought by Su Bai?
So they didn’t even mention music during this exchange!

Why did you find this guy anyway?
Ren Boquan smiled and said, "Oh, Xiaobai is our graduate student at Huada this year. Didn't I just say that he is studying Chinese language and literature at Huada, and his calligraphy is also very good, so he also knows a little bit of the items in our competition."

"What the fuck is this called a little bit?!"

Tsuruta Akira's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on Su Bai's slender hands and the 300 million Ming Dynasty ivory openwork grape and squirrel brush. A thousand kappas flashed through his mind.

As the country that attaches the most importance to calligraphy in the world besides China, the development of the island country is deeply influenced by Chinese calligraphy. The history of island country calligraphy, also known as "Shudao", can be traced back to ancient times.

In ancient times, Japanese calligraphy was called "rumokudo" or "brushstroke", and the term "shodo" was not used until the Edo period (17th century). Japanese calligraphy became popular after the introduction of Buddhism.

Monks and Buddhists imitated China and copied scriptures with brushes, thus introducing China's calligraphy art to the island nation.

Tsuruta Akira, 27 years old, studied under calligraphy master Aoyama Sugyu. He is considered the top calligrapher of the younger generation in the island country and a calligraphy genius who was admitted to the doctoral program at Dongjing University as an exception.

He had a very good grasp of the most important aspects of calligraphy: eye technique, brush technique, structure and composition, and was later accepted as a disciple by Qingshan Shanyu.

Yesterday, after a brief exchange with Troud and the students from the University of Washington, they returned to their arranged residence. Tsuruta Akira is a relatively introverted person, but he is very passionate about calligraphy, so even though he only has one day, he practiced very seriously in the room.

Early this morning, the exchange competition was announced to begin, and the first event was calligraphy!

As for why this project was chosen, it was also the result of a crazy fight between Ren Boquan and Troud.

The events of the exchange competition are selected by their International University Alliance, so it is of course most reasonable for Huaguo University to choose the order of the competition events.

Among the four projects, calligraphy is the one that the Huaguo University Alliance is most confident in.

On the Spring Festival Gala that year, Su Bai's "Lanting Preface" gave many old men who love calligraphy a high C.

Who has had the greatest influence on calligraphy in this island nation?
Wang Xizhi, the great Wang!

So when Mr. Ji and others were discussing it, Su Bai was used as the trump card of the calligraphy project.

The rules of the competition are very simple, and it is a competition between four types of fonts: Li, Cao, Kai, and Xing.

The organizing committee of the exchange competition will provide a piece of content, and both parties will write it out. Then, the 20 judges of the organizing committee and the 400 Internet expert judges from China, the United States, South Korea and Japan will give scores together.

Logically speaking, there should be one person who can write each font. After all, everyone has his or her own expertise. Except for a god-level figure like Wang Dada, it would be good enough for ordinary people to be able to write one font to the pinnacle.

When the official script competition just started, the International Universities Association was relatively calm and sent a talented calligrapher from South Korea.

It has to be said that none of the people who were brought to participate in the exchange competition to slap the faces of Chinese universities are simple characters.

The official script of this Korean player is dignified and straight, with two wings open.

An expert can tell whether something is good or not just by looking at its hand. Several calligraphy contestants from China were all a little nervous when they saw this exquisite official script.

It’s not that we can’t beat them, but we are just on par with each other at best.

The judges are clearly unfavorable to China, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Therefore, unless it is a work that can clearly crush the International Alliance, if they are only on par with each other, China will most likely lose the vote!
"Principal Ren, I'll go."

Su Bai originally wanted to wait a little longer, but seeing that the others seemed to have no confidence, he volunteered.

Ren Boquan was a little confused: "Xiao Su, isn't running script your favorite?"

"That's just what I wrote before, it just happened to be in running script. Principal Ren, it's better to have a good start in your first game."

Su Bai's tone was full of confidence, and he left behind a very imposing back view.

then
Official Script: Su Bai won completely, using the "best official script in the world" - "Zhang Qian Stele", written by an anonymous calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cursive Script: Su Bai won completely, using the "best cursive script in the world" - "Autobiography", the calligraphy of Huaisu, a calligrapher from the Tang Dynasty.

Regular Script: Su Bai won completely, using the "best regular script in the world" - "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription", the calligraphy of Ouyang Xun, a calligrapher from the Tang Dynasty.

Running Script:

Tsuruta Akira: "You call this a little bit of knowledge?!"

Are you Chinese people so reserved?
Isn't that a bit too reserved?
"Mr. Su Bai! I would like to ask if you know Chinese Taoism?"

Tsuruta Akira grabbed Su Bai in a daze and asked earnestly.

Su Bai: "?"

"What are you talking about?"

Tsuruta Akira: "I've read your Chinese novels, and it seems that you have a kind of Taoist technique called 'inviting gods', which can ask the ancestors to descend and possess their bodies to help them. Did you invite Mr. Wang Xizhi?"

Tsuruta Akira's words made the other contestants look at Su Bai as well.

indeed!

Su Bai's calligraphy is so amazing. The contestants present are all very familiar with the calligraphy of the great master Wang Xizhi.

They are basically copied.

It is impossible for two identical people to appear in this world, and it is also impossible for two identical words to appear in this world!
but!

The running script written by Su Bai fully possesses all the characteristics of Wang Xizhi's running script.

"The flowing water and the moving clouds are as graceful as a startled swan."

His running script style is natural and smooth, like flowing water, without any hindrance. The strokes rise and fall, showing a dynamic beauty.

At the same time, his running script is also characterized by lightness and elegance, like a startled bird flying, light and elastic, showing an ethereal beauty.

This is outrageous!
Simply put, many people can achieve a similar appearance, and the best among them may be able to achieve a similar spirit, but Su Bai...
Are you the great god Wang himself? !

In addition, as a Japanese who grew up reading comics, Tsuruta Akira has a high degree of belief in these strange and mysterious things, so he asked such a bizarre question.

Especially after saying this, the others suddenly thought of the "Devil Sound Sect" that Su Bai had made up when he boasted about it at the World Sound Competition.
Suddenly, the way people looked at Su Bai changed.

Even the always extremely rational Yukino
"Student Su, you don't really know Eastern magic, do you?"

Su Bai: "."

Ren Boquan: “.”

All the teachers from Huaguo University accompanying the team: "."

At this moment, the fans in the live broadcast room burst into laughter!
[No way, this is too sci-fi, hahahahaha! Even novels don’t dare to write like this! ]

[Who says it's not true? A bunch of masters and doctors from the world's most advanced universities all believe that we really have the magic. Do you dare to believe it? ]

[Hahahahahahaha, I really want to know what novel that island friend who lives a good life is reading. I kind of want to go and read it hahahahahaha]

[The most important thing is that these people seem to be questioning sincerely! Look at the white-haired old man leading the team, he looks suspicious.]

[Su Bai’s confused expression is so adorable, hahahahahahaha]

[Su Bai: Who am I? Where am I? Am I the heir of Taoism? ]

This scene seems a bit outrageous in everyone's eyes, but it is actually very normal.

The more they understand the world, the more top scientists will believe in these theologies.

For example, Einstein and Newton, two great scientists.

In their later years, one of them was crazy about theology, and the other was crazy about Christ. This has to be said to be a very magical thing.

And strictly speaking, Su Bai actually deserves a compliment.

"My little island kid with a lot of imagination, your guess is close to the truth!"

Although this system cheat is not like inviting the great god Wang to possess the body, it is actually almost the same in a strict sense.

Of course, this cannot be said.

Su Bai patted Tsuruta Akira's shoulder and said, "My friend, you are a student at a top university. We should believe in science. There is no such thing as supernatural things. It is pure nonsense!"

Although Su Bai completely denied it, artists are generally stubborn. Tsuruta Akira stared at Su Bai's back in a daze and made up his mind that he would start studying Su Bai when he returned!
This person definitely knows magic!

He didn't believe that there was anyone in the world who could reproduce Wang Xizhi's calligraphy so accurately!

Even his teacher, Ono Michikaze, the god of calligraphy on the island country and known as the "Saint of Calligraphy", couldn't do it!

To be honest, this silly kid Tsuruta Akira collected all of Su Bai's movies, TV, variety shows, music, interviews, etc. resources while he was still in China.

Su Bai's barrier-free communication with animals in variety shows, including the incident of rescuing Jiang Huai on Shirakami Mountain, made Tsuruta Akira more determined in this regard.

After returning to his country, he became good friends with Kenta Takagi, and both of them became little fans of Su Bai in the island country.

This is something for later, so I won’t mention it for now.

Su Bai's outstanding performance in the calligraphy competition gave a great relief to Principal Ren and all the Chinese professors who were worried.

Finally got off to a good start!

Especially Mr. Ji’s face was almost broken from laughing.

This is his student who has not yet been admitted!
Although Su Bai already has a teacher, Cheng Daoming is his acting teacher, not his academic teacher!

He, Ji Ningzhong, is Su Bai’s academic teacher!

No matter whether he has taught before or not, whether Su Bai is willing or not, he is his teacher anyway!

The students from the International University Alliance were a little frustrated, but the attitudes of several leading teachers, such as Traud, were also good.

Calligraphy is an uncertain subject for them.

After all, to be honest, calligraphy does originate from China, a culture that has been passed down for thousands of years. Moreover, the writing styles evolved by South Korea and other island countries based on Chinese characters do not have the same charm as the original calligraphy.

"Jamie, the next game will be your strong point. Although Chinese basketball is better than football, it is still not up to par internationally. You won't let me down, right?"

Troud looked at Jamie with sharp eyes.

Jamie glanced at the basketball players from the Chinese University Alliance with disdain and curled his lips:

"Principal Troud, don't worry. With their weak bodies, we can at least beat them by 50 points in the first half. Just let me and my players beat them!"
