Chapter 488 Lin Zhibai, Lishan Picture!

 At the competition site.

The live broadcast is about to begin.

 Lin Zhibai and other participating painters have all arrived.

  Someone is introducing the rules, even though everyone already knows them.

This year’s Qi Chu Wen Dou painting competition has no requirements in terms of content, but the type is strictly stipulated, that is, contestants must draw ink paintings.

 Ink painting is the representative of traditional painting.

 Basic ink painting consists of only water and ink, that is, black and white.

As for advanced ink paintings, there are also meticulous flower and bird paintings, etc., which can be said to be colorful, and sometimes they can also be called "color ink paintings".

According to the competition rules, today’s painters must comply with the competition regulations whether they create the most traditional black and white ink paintings or create advanced “color ink paintings”—

If we were on Earth, oil paintings would also have great influence.

 In the painting circle of this world, ink painting has the highest status.

After all, this is Blue Star. The Eastern culture of the Great Celestial Dynasty in the previous life dominated the world, so the top painting competitions are all ink paintings, and the most valuable paintings must also be ink themes.

Wait until the rules are introduced.

 The painters began to enter.

Each painter has his own position arrangement.

After Lin Zhibai and other participating painters arrived at their locations, the live broadcast officially started!

host:

"Welcome everyone to watch Qi Chu Wen Dou. The competition has entered the fourth day. Today we are going to compete in painting. The type is of course our favorite ink style. The competition will start in ten minutes. Let's start with the painters. Just do a simple random interview.”

 Said.

The host walked towards Lin Zhibai.

Lin Zhibai knew the host was going to interview when he saw him coming, and was mentally prepared.

 “Hello, Teacher Lin Zhibai!”

"Hello."

“Teacher Lin Zhibai has won the championship in the previous projects. Now audiences from all over the world say you are a **** online. What do you think of this?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

“Haha, Teacher Lin Zhibai is very humble. What do you think of your painting level?”

"good."

“Sure enough, Teacher Lin Zhibai is very humble.”

The host smiled and interviewed the next painter, but the live broadcast rooms in various continents were full of barrages!

 …

 Chinzhou.

“Finally, the painting project is here. Bai Di has already won three gold medals. Can we continue today?”

"It's impossible. Although he is a god, gods should have their limits. He himself said that painting is just okay."

"Looking at Qizhou's variety show, Bai Di's painting skills are also at the master level, so he said that he is good at it, and that he is the master level that most people in the world look up to!"

 “Master, it’s okay, Lin Zhibai!”

“This smell is definitely Lin Zangbi himself!”

 …

 Qizhou.

“It feels so safe to see the richest man in every project!”

“I seem to feel the same way, but we can’t expect the richest man to win in painting, right?”

“It doesn’t matter if we lose today. Anyway, we have won three projects. Let’s just win one more of the next four projects!”

  "There are poems and couplets next, and the richest man is his strong point!"

“Yeah, that’s why I said, painting doesn’t matter, so what if Chuzhou wins!”

 …

 Chuzhou.

“Today it’s our turn to win!”

“The first three rounds were so frustrating, being suppressed so miserably by Lin Zhibai!”

"It doesn't matter, I don't believe that Lin Zhibai is really a god, how can he continue to show off today!"

"Lin Zhibai couldn't show off today. The host just asked him how his painting skills were, so I just answered it."

 “This must be a bit tiring.”

 …

 Zhaozhou.

“Today we, the Zhaozhou audience, can watch with our heads up and our chests high!”

"Hahaha, our Zhaozhou's number one painter, Teacher Ling Tian, ​​is Chuzhou's foreign aid. Unfortunately, Lin Zhibai's painting level may be far inferior to the level of his first three projects, but he is not really a **** after all. , it’s time to lose!”

“What if, I mean what if, Lin Zhibai still wins today?”

“Haha, if Lin Zhibai wins today, then I will obey him for the rest of my life without even trying to support him!”

“Tsk, tsk, I thought you were going to say he was going to win, but he is still not determined enough for the live broadcast.”

 …

 Middle-earth.

 “Watch Lin Zhibai’s game for the first time!”

“I have watched this episode, and Lin Zhibai won the championship in the end!”

“Hahahaha, wake up upstairs, Lin Zhibai has already won three championships, if he continues to win, I will wonder if he is an alien!”

“Looking at the interview, Lin Zhibai is also very low-key. I guess he is not very confident in painting.”

“I checked Lin Zhibai’s information. He is better at the latter few projects. He doesn’t seem to have much to say about painting. It is Ling Tian, ​​the foreign aid from Chuzhou, who is the top ink master of Blue Star!”

 …

 The name Ling Tian is really domineering.

 What’s even more domineering is Ling Tian’s achievement, the number one painter in Zhaozhou!

 It is said that he is number one in Zhaozhou, but in fact, he is also ranked among the top in the entire Blue Star!

Some people even say that Ling Tian's paintings are unrivaled in the world, but this is like saying who has the best literary talent.

 Difficult to comment.

 After all, there is no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts.

 Unless someone can crush everyone in the same industry.

 Obviously Ling Tian is not yet capable of crushing everyone.

 There are still a few painters in the circle who can compete with him or even equal him.

 And top painters usually do not participate in any painting competitions.

 It was because Qi Chuwen Dou's situation was special enough that he invited Ling Tian out.

God knows how much Chuzhou paid in order to invite Ling Tian to appear. Thinking about it, it cannot be small.

 Obviously.

 Chuzhou attaches great importance to Qi Chuwen Dou.

It’s a pity that they met Qizhou’s “strongest foreign aid in history” Lin Zhibai, who had already won three gold medals!

“We can only hope to start overtaking today!”

“Although we have lost the first three projects, if we win all the next four projects, we will still be the final winner of this Qi Chu Wen Dou!”

"Yes."

“Even Lin Zhibai can’t be perfect every time!”

“Today’s competition is about painting. In painting, almost no one can beat Teacher Ling Tian!”

Chuzhou hasn’t given up yet.

 After all, as long as they win all the next four events, they can beat Qi Chuwendou with a score of four to three!

It may sound like a slim hope, but don’t forget that last year Chuzhou won Wen Dou six to one!

 Six to one, they've all done it.

 Four to three, can it be more difficult than six to one?

This is the psychological advantage saved last year, so until this moment, Chuzhou still has hope for a comeback in his heart!   …

During the discussion among all parties, the competition was officially announced, and the ten painters began their own creations.

Lin Zhibai of course also started.

 Ink paintings are mostly based on natural landscapes of mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects.

 The most grand among them is the one with the theme of mountains and rivers.

 After all, landscape painting is the essence of nature, the beauty of heaven and earth, yin and yang, darkness, clear rain, cold and heat, morning and dusk, day and night...

They all have endless fun.

 This is because Lin Zhibai also planned to use landscape as the theme.

As for the name of the painting, let’s just keep it simple and call it “Lishan Picture”.

 Yes, Lin Zhibai wants to paint Lishan in Qizhou!

Since I am representing Qizhou in the competition, it makes sense to paint the scenery of Qizhou.

Besides, Lin Zhibai still missed Lishan quite a lot. After all, it was one of the few pastoral lives he had experienced in his life.

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai began to paint.

 …

 Painting is a very demanding thing, especially if it lasts for a whole day. Sitting for a long time will cause backache.

 After the game starts.

 One hour, two hours, three hours.

Some painters will get up and stretch their muscles while painting.

Lin Zhibai doesn’t need it. He is the youngest painter. He doesn’t suffer from back pain even if he sits for several hours in a row.

This makes other painters envious when they see it.

As for the content of the paintings, in the first few hours, no one could tell the difference.

  After all, anyone who really knows painting knows that the final effect takes several hours of continuous rendering.

  In other words, whether a painting is good or not depends on at least 80% of the painting being completed before you can tell a little bit about it.

 When painting reaches noon, the painter can pause and go backstage to eat.

  After all, there is no such thing as cheating in painting, unless you find someone to write for you.

 But this is a live broadcast, there are so many shots that make you want to shoot them in the face, and the contestants must and can only complete the paintings independently.

Lin Zhibai didn’t eat until half past twelve.

 At this time, sixty-sevenths of his painting had been completed.

Although I can’t tell whether the painting is good or bad yet, the charm has already been vaguely revealed.

even.

 Some viewers from Qinzhou and Qizhou recognized it!

 “This picture!”

 “It’s such a familiar scene!”

 “This mountain is Lishan, right!?”

“Look at the two bulges, they are clearly the Twin Bird Peaks of Lishan Mountain!”

“Yes, yes, there is also that pink sea of ​​mist that only appears in the sunset. The richest man’s color is pink!”

 “Although I haven’t drawn it yet, it already looks very beautiful!”

“The richest man is a master after all. How could his paintings not be beautiful? I see that the works of several other teachers are getting better and better!”

“Yes, the work is starting to take shape!”

“It may take until the afternoon or even evening to see the real difference!”

“No matter what the richest man’s achievements are, he can paint Lishan. As a Qizhou native and an audience of “Lishan Xing”, I really couldn’t help but burst into tears!”

 The people of Qizhou were very moved!

 The people of Qinzhou are also very emotional!

Lin Zhibai seems to have some feelings for Qizhou, otherwise he would not have chosen Lishan as the subject of his painting.

 …

 The painting time was too long, which was very difficult for the host.

 In order to create more topics, the organizer arranged two hosts for this project.

One of them is Ken Watanabe, a professional painter from Chuzhou with a master level. He participated in the competition last year.

 The other one is a host who knows a lot about painting.

 The two chatted while watching the game.

　　Moderator: “Teacher Ken Watanabe, who does he think is the best artist at the moment?”

Watanabe Ken: "It's too early to evaluate now, because they were basically busy laying out the frame for the first few hours. The final level of the painting depends on their processing at each step, but from now on it will be presented Judging from the results, it is obvious that Teacher Ling's landscape paintings are the best. You can see that the layers are already very rich. Then Teacher Huang An's paintings are also good. They all used color, maybe because they considered the audience's appreciation threshold. Well, don’t just use black and white..."

that's all.

 Ken Watanabe reviewed the past one by one.

When the lens of Lin Zhibai was adjusted, Watanabe Ken's voice suddenly paused, and then made a "hiss" sound.

"Why?"

The host also typed the word "Hey", as if there was something special about Lin Zhibai's paintings.

 In fact, there is something special about it.

 Because Lin Zhibai moved too fast!

Most painters move very slowly!

 Because if ink painting is not handled properly, it will rot.

It’s not like a pencil, if you can’t draw well, you can erase it and start over again, so other painters are careful every time they draw...

Even if you look cool, your speed is definitely not fast!

Unlike Lin Zhibai, every stroke is done without temptation, as if he knows that he is the final effect!

                       .

Lin Zhibai really didn’t make a single mistake, and every stroke he made was effective!

 Although it is not the final effect yet, it is obvious that he is in control of every step!

 “So smooth!”

The host couldn't help but sigh: "I even feel that Lin Zhibai's movements are smoother than Teacher Ling Tian's!"

 “Get rid of the feeling.”

Ken Watanabe's eyes were a bit strange: "In terms of smoothness, Lin Zhibai is the best in the game. His pen is so stable, and his pen control level is definitely the best in the world!"

 How good is your pen control?

The host's eyes lit up, "Teacher Ken Watanabe, do you think this is because Lin Zhibai is the best calligrapher, and he can control this kind of brush at will, so..."

 “That’s what it should mean.”

Both painting and calligraphy rely on one's control of the pen.

Lin Zhibai is the **** of calligraphy. His pen can be used flexibly like his arms, so there is no such thing as a mistake.

“Will Lin Zhibai win the championship?”

The host couldn't help but tell a possibility that made the hearts of all the viewers quicken.

"Ah."

Ken Watanabe smiled and said: "Who told you that if you draw fast, the things you draw must be the best in the world? Lin Zhibai has silky control over the brush, but what he drew in the end..."

Sudden.

 Watanabe Ken’s voice paused.

The host was wondering why you didn't continue talking. When he looked up at the big screen, he couldn't help but exclaimed!

"so beautiful!"

 It turns out that Lin Zhibai started to deal with color and layering, which means that his paintings have begun to process three-dimensional effects.

This is called light and shade processing in sketching. This is not the case in ink painting, but the meaning is quite the same.

 Many people should know that once the contrast between light and dark is added to a sketch, the three-dimensional effect will emerge. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the drawing is, it will just be a flat plan with clean lines.

  No internal taste.

 Lin Zhibai now has a similar feeling after doing similar processing on ink paintings, and the effect is coming out little by little!

　　Although no one knows what the final effect will be, the little effect he has made now is already stunning in the eyes of the host!

 No wonder Ken Watanabe was suddenly silent!

After being silent for several seconds, Watanabe Ken followed the host's words of "so beautiful" and spoke:

"very scary…"
