Chapter 325 Unexpected and magical development

With the audience's high expectations, "Lanting Preface" was successfully selected as the first issue of "National Treasure Season" and ranked second among the submitted works!

The first place is "Written on the Beauty of the Motherland".

Su Zhe said that there is no shady story here, it is the real choice of the audience. He has no objection and will definitely continue to work hard in the future.

Audiences:

【…】

[Forget it, just use the silver medal as the gold medal, I won’t say more. 】

But obviously, the ranking is just fictitious, and the love of the audience is real.

None of the other songs were on the hot search list, and only "Lanting Preface" suddenly became popular.

On major online platforms, "Lanting Preface" was just uploaded and almost immediately occupied the top position on the playlist, soaring list, and new song list.

There was also a heated discussion on Weibo:

[Su Zhe deserves to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination. His literary skills are so strong. I feel that every lyric is beautiful and full of ancient meaning, but he does not pretend to be profound. 】

[Su Zhe is very good at using allusions. For example, the lyrics "It has nothing to do with the wind and moon, I am waiting for you to answer the inscription" are adapted from Ouyang Xiu's "Life is full of love and infatuation, and this hatred has nothing to do with the moon and wind", which perfectly fits the theme of the song. 】

[Su Zhe becomes affectionate, like a dull knife, grinding carefully on your heart, tears streaming down his face as he listens. 】

[I don’t cry for songs, but for my own regrets, youth, and lost memories. 】

At the beginning, the painting style was quite normal, and a group of listeners praised "Lanting Preface" together.

However, on the short video program, a male internet celebrity named [Scholar] changed the tone of "Lanting Preface" and lip-synced the song, which became an instant hit among middle-aged and elderly female fans.

Countless fans expressed their love under his video:

[Brother scholar, are you doing farm work? I feel really sorry to see you working so hard. You must remember to drink more water. 】

[You are so talented, you are good-looking, and you sing well. My sister really likes you. 】

The song "Lanting Preface" made him gain millions of fans. The number of fans on the short video platform exceeded 10 million in one fell swoop, even higher than top celebrities such as Su Zhe.

(Su Zhe doesn’t play short videos and has more followers on Weibo.)

This attracted public attention. Countless young people were completely shocked when they saw the scholar's oily performance and the crazy performance of middle-aged and elderly female fans:

[Why do aunts like this type? Isn't it too artificial? 】

【How disgusting! 】

[Ahem, in fact, girls in the fandom also have this image in the eyes of others... Anyway, those artificial traffic, I don't think is better than "scholars". 】

[It makes me laugh so hard. His short video fans are even higher than those of the original singer Su Zhe! 】

[It’s over, “Lanting Preface”, such a nice Chinese-style song, instantly became low-key, and even turned into a “scholar’s ​​ditty”. 】

[When the ditty plays, the subsistence allowance is robbed; when the scholar smiles, the aunt screams. 】

Seeing the scholar's popularity, other local Internet celebrities also lip-synced "Lanting Preface". Although they could not steal the limelight of the scholar's exclusive BGM, the number of clicks on the video also increased dramatically.

Including another Internet celebrity, Bai Yueguang of the big guys - [Qingguoqingcheng], lip-synced to sing "Lanting Preface", which also received tens of millions of views.

The sugar canes were all confused:

【what happened? When I returned to the village, I found that the whole village was listening to "Lanting Preface", which was a local version. I listened to the original version, and the uncles and aunties said that I didn’t listen to it authentically. 】

[Why did such a beautiful Chinese-style song suddenly become a country war song and the king of earthy flavors? 】

Not to mention fans, even Su Zhe was stunned. He did not expect that "Lanting Preface" would have such great power among middle-aged and elderly people.

Maybe it’s because the erhu in the prelude is so brilliant?

Some fans suggested that Su Zhe defend his rights and collect copyright fees, but Su Zhe didn't want to offend such a large number of adults, so he ignored them.

Although no money was received, "Lanting Preface" became popular across the country in a strange way thanks to the blessings of middle-aged and elderly people, and it was popular among different age groups.

Moreover, as the song became popular, the footage broadcast on TV at that time also spread all over the Internet——

Since Su Zhe didn't have time to shoot the MV, the program team simply used the scenes he copied from "Lanting Preface" as the music background.

During the live broadcast, Dong Jinwen praised Su Zhe's copy as being unparalleled in the world, which shocked countless water friends. However, due to the single lens of the live broadcast, he was never able to show the details of the calligraphy.

In the official program, the audience finally saw the whole process of Su Zhe's copying, and there was also an original clip of "Lanting Preface" on one side for comparison.

There is no shortage of people in China who know and love calligraphy. A group of professionals immediately lamented:

[Su Zhe's level is so high that I can't tell the difference between the copy and the original. 】

[Actually, if you look carefully, there are subtle differences. Su Zhe's copying emphasizes the meaning rather than the form (it's not completely similar, after all, it's not a copy). 】

[Compared with the most famous Shenlong version, the Shenlong version used the double hook method to copy (compare and reproduce). The fonts are almost the same, but they are relatively dull and feel far inferior to Su Zhe. 】

[Although I dare not compare it with the original, among the replicas, Su Zhe is truly unparalleled! 】

【Young people are amazing! 】

At this time, Su Zhe immediately became a nationally famous calligraphy master.

This triggered a craze for business performances, and a boss paid a high price for Su Zhe to attend the shopping mall opening ceremony.

Although Su Zhe is not short of money, there is no need to refuse such a simple and quick way to make money through commercial performances, not to mention that he can take the opportunity to meet fans and send a few autographs, which is also considered a kind of fan favor.

After he arrived at the mall, before he even took the stage, the venue was filled with fans and passers-by who heard the news, shouting:

"Su Zhe, sing "Lanting Preface"!"

"Sing a new song, a new Chinese-style song!"

"Yes, we want new songs!"

Soon, a unified voice formed:

"New song!"

Su Zhe looked helpless and waved to the fans before interrupting the noise, causing the fans to scream.

The shopping mall owner was speechless:

"Teacher Su's popularity is too high. I have invited many celebrities before. Some of them are famous and charge high fees. No one cheered at all at the scene. They were all fake. There are also some traffic, the fans are very crazy, but passers-by don't recognize them at all. It all depends on the fans’ special trip to support us.”

Su Zhe was not very good at business communication and there was no need to flatter his boss. He just nodded when faced with his compliments.

This actually made the boss even more impressed:

"Sure enough, Mr. Su's handwriting is just like his character. Teacher Su's handwriting is so good, and he is also noble and dignified! He is indeed an artist."

Su Zhecai doesn't believe in the saying that words are like people and chess is like people. To put it bluntly, it's all just skills.

But he just smiled, accepted the compliment, and finally went on stage, planning to sing an old song——

New song? What are you thinking! Apart from singing half of "C Capital" when he first started working in business, how could he possibly use his precious new songs in business performances?

Su Zhe calmly stretched out his hand to the host, but he didn't expect that the host didn't hand him a microphone, but instead handed him a writing brush.

"???"

He looked at the brush in his hand and fell into deep thought. The host took the opportunity to direct the employees to move tables, rice paper, inkstones and other items onto the stage.

The boss also walked onto the stage and said respectfully:

"Teacher Su, please give me a piece of calligraphy, which is the name of the store [Baohang Shopping Plaza]. We will make a plaque and hang it at the door."

Su Zhe was confused and turned to ask Yan Xiling:

"Do we still have this business?"

Yan Xiling has never seen such a battle:

"Theoretically it's not within the scope of business, but it's indeed an elegant thing."

Usually Su Zheshang's acting is too simple and he never drinks with him, and Yan Xiling doesn't have to follow him either.

But today she made a special trip here just to make friends with the bosses. In the future, the young artists signed by Mary Sue Studio will have more commercial performance opportunities and make more money. ——She has recently taken advantage of Su Zhe's opportunity to expand Long Aotian's production and is also working hard to develop and expand Mary Sue.

Su Zhe thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Writing a few words seemed easier than singing, so he splashed ink and wrote the six characters "Baohang Shopping Plaza".

"Thank you, Teacher Su." The shopping mall owner felt like he had found a treasure and asked people to put it away carefully, and the business performance was over.

The fans in the audience were dumbfounded:

That's it?

If you sing, they can listen to the scene together; but if you write calligraphy, they can't see anything!

Su Zhe also felt a little awkward. Looking at the aggrieved expressions of the fans, he sighed and asked the host to get the microphone and said to the mall owner:

"Boss, let me sing "Lanting Preface" again."

The mall owner was a little embarrassed:

"I already asked you to give me calligraphy treasures. I'm really sorry to bother you with singing anymore."

Su Zhe waved his hands and said to the fans in the audience:

"Actually, I'm borrowing your place to sing a song for my fans. Thank you for your support!"

The fans were so happy that they cheered:

"Brother is so handsome! I am so doting on my fans!"

"(Male voice) Husband, I love you!"

Su Zhe pointed at a certain male fan who yelled "husband" the loudest in a "threatening" manner, told him to shut up, and then sang affectionately.

After singing the song, some passers-by wiped away tears. Su Zhe's [vocal appeal] was more powerful live than on TV, and it was a tear-jerking weapon.

"thank you all!"

After Su Zhe finished singing, the mall owner came on stage again, holding a small gift box and said with admiration:

"Teacher Su, you are so kind to your fans. I can't take advantage of you in vain. If I spend a share of money to ask for calligraphy treasures and commercial performances, my friends will laugh at me for being stingy! This is a little kindness, and it can also be regarded as a sword given to a hero."

Su Zhe curiously took the small box, opened it and saw that it was a bright red stone. He was stunned for a moment and then tentatively said:

"bloodstone?"

The mall owner nodded and said:

"I just noticed that Teacher Su didn't have a seal after signing the payment. This piece of chicken blood stone is considered a fine product. It's a pity in my hand, but it complements the other in the master's hand."

Su Zhe didn't know about chicken-blood stone seals. He heard that the cheaper ones ranged from several thousand to several million, but since the mall owner dared to give them away and wasn't afraid of jokes, he probably didn't think they were cheap.

But the price was not very expensive. It was similar to what he asked for in a business performance. On the contrary, it looked elegant. Su Zhe did not refuse and accepted it with a smile:

"Thank you very much, boss. Excuse me. I'm going to sign some autographs for the fans."

He walked off the stage, signed some autographs for the fans as usual, and asked them enthusiastically, "Do you like the new song?" "Do you want to support the Chinese style album when it is released?" and so on.

As he signed autographs, a video of the commercial performance was quickly uploaded to the Internet by fans.

When netizens saw Su Zhe's frowning expression as he looked at the brush, they immediately laughed to the point of peeing:

[Haha, Su Zhe’s question mark face has officially replaced the black question mark face and become my emoticon. It’s so funny! 】

[Before Su Zhe went: I have so much stage experience, what kind of battles have I not seen? After getting the brush: I have never seen this before. 】

Others were shocked by the boss’s generosity:

[The boss is confused! Spend millions to hire celebrities to write calligraphy? 】

[See that piece of bloodstone? It is estimated to be worth several million! 】

【You know nothing! The boss is smart. From now on, the seals on Master Su’s calligraphy works will be given by him. Telling the truth will help you gain face! In front of rich brother, isn’t he more handsome than everyone’s pretty girl with a luxury car? 】

[Yes, isn’t Wang Lun famous because of Li Bai? You can participate in the works of masters by sending a seal, which is a rare opportunity. 】

[I just said that the goddess used the condom I bought, which means I also participated, which is really rare. 】

【…】

Su Zhe didn't have time to read the comments online. After signing some names for fans, he planned to leave.

But at this moment, a group of gray-haired old people squeezed into the fan queue and jumped in line to get Su Zhe's autograph.

Su Zhe was dumbfounded:

"Grandpa, please don't jump in line. You also want an autograph? Are you asking for it for your granddaughter?"

When the old man jumped in line, his waist and legs didn't hurt. He pushed the young fans aside and said loudly:

"Sign it for myself with a brush!"

"Write me a "Preface to Orchid Pavilion"!"

Everyone:…

Everyone understands that they are co-authors to prostitute Su Zhe’s calligraphy works for free!

Su Zhe was speechless. Although he had a lot of fans, it was obvious that these people were not his fans. They just wanted to resell his calligraphy works for profit.

Yan Xiling quickly became the "bad guy" and said seriously:

"First, please queue up to sign; second, only use a hard pen to sign some simple blessings, please forgive me for limited time; third, signatures are not calligraphy and cannot be used for profit."

As she and the security guards maintained order, some elderly people left, but there were also elderly people who queued up in a neat line. When they arrived, they said:

"Su Zhe, you have done a great job in promoting Chinese culture. My grandson has learned calligraphy from me. Please encourage him and don't give up halfway."

Su Zhe respected this kind of old man very much and immediately wrote a long paragraph to his grandson.

After finally signing, Su Zhe left, and this section was uploaded to the Internet.

Netizens have become accustomed to the behavior of some elderly people who jump in line. What is even more surprising is that even the grandfathers know Su Zhe and know that his calligraphy is precious.

[Has Su Zhe really become a well-known calligrapher? 】

[I really envy the sugar cane people. Other celebrities’ ghost drawings, except fan dogs, don’t want them; Su Zhe’s autograph is really valuable! 】

As if inspired, in the next business performance, the bosses directly asked Su Zhe to keep his calligraphy. It didn't matter whether he sang or not.

Even the museum in his hometown contacted the studio and wanted Su Zhe to write a plaque, but the writing fee was not high, only a few hundred thousand.

Su Zhe always felt that it was a bit strange that Shang Cheng was selling calligraphy, so he only agreed to the hometown museum, and forfeited the money and gave him a calligraphy painting for free. He refused everything else:

"Sister Yan, I am a celebrity after all. I don't make a living by selling calligraphy. From now on, except for public welfare organizations, all those who ask for calligraphy will be forgotten."

He wanted everyone to pay more attention to his new songs rather than his calligraphy.

Yan Xiling also has her own understanding:

Stock up and wait for the price!

No matter how good Su Zhe's calligraphy is, it is worthless if it is given away without restraint. If it is given away without restraint, the value will drop rapidly.

He doesn't lack the money, so he might as well keep the price high, which is a very dazzling halo for him.

Moreover, calligraphy works are hard to find at high prices, and it would be more sincere to give them to "you know" in the future.

"Okay, then let's stop hyping your calligraphy and focus on your songs."

They decided to keep a low profile, but they did not expect that the [artwork hype (1 time)] previously activated by the system would gradually develop a terrifying momentum!
