Chapter 547: Competition
There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the classroom, and Li Yi noticed that a few people even slapped their hands lightly, and couldn't help rolling their eyes, forgetting to ask Zhong Qi, was the atmosphere so relaxed in the previous games?
"Okay, no jokes, most of the people who participated in the competition this time are old faces, but there are also a few newcomers I don't know, everyone will have to eat in a pot in the future, or, introduce yourself?"
Shi Chongxuan is a bit famous after all, plus he is a professor himself, and he is used to leading students, so it is very easy to deal with this kind of scene, and there are also people who are willing to support him.
I saw that before he finished speaking, one of the corners stood up first,
"I'm a newcomer, named Li Yingying, it's the first time to participate in the competition, I hope you will take care of me, it's best to let me win a first prize! Because if I can't get it, my daughter-in-law may divorce me when I go back, so wouldn't I be worse than our teacher Liu?! ”
"Phew! You old thing, you have participated in not five but three competitions, if your daughter-in-law divorces you every time, you say, how many have you changed? ”
"Uh...... But this time she's going to play for real! ”
"Hah, isn't that what you want? Change it, change it, how boring the old husband and wife are......"
The atmosphere in the classroom is even more lively, and judging by the noise coming from next door, the other classrooms should be similar.
Seeing them playing so crazy, Li Yi was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he understood that calligraphers and painters are also people, and the reason why they usually give people a mysterious and cold impression is partly because they don't understand and speculate, and the other part is mostly because the environment and the people present are wrong, and you can't see the other side of them.
This is actually the same as Wang Haoqing's performance in front of Li Yi, not to mention Lu Ningshuang, in front of him and in front of other boys, it is simply two people, Li Yi sometimes wonders if he was accidentally fooled......
"The reason why I say this is that I want everyone to get to know each other. In the past, the same imperial examination was called the same year, and we don't have the imperial examination now, but there is a competition, and it is fate to be able to get a classroom! Not to mention, Lao Liu and Lao Li are all acquaintances, these three little brothers should be rising stars, so start with me first, introduce yourself, my name is Shi Chongxuan, 34 years old this year, a teacher at Sujiang Academy of Fine Arts......"
After a while, all 12 people in the classroom introduced themselves, and everyone else stared at Li Yi, no way, the youngest one here was almost 10 years older than him.
"I remember, just after the solar calendar year, Teacher Hu Jinquan and Teacher Zhong Haoqing accepted an apprentice together, isn't it?"
Although Li Yi did not hold an apprenticeship ceremony publicly, and Hu Jinquan and his family did not deliberately publicize it, but after so long of the incident, the news has already spread slowly, so as soon as Li Yi said his name, coupled with his age, he was immediately recognized.
"Oh, I said how to look familiar, it turns out that I have read your words in the Yanjing Book Association! At that time, when I looked at the photos, I thought I was in my 30s, that is, I was a little younger, but I didn't expect to be so young! ”
The person who spoke, Li Yi, has also seen his information, Ma Weizhong, 35 years old this year, an official member of the Yanjing Calligraphy Association, a rising star of the Beijing-Tianjin School of painting, just a variety of calligraphy and painting exhibitions of all sizes, no less than 50 have been held, although the achievements in calligraphy are higher, but a stroke of ink and water, if you play well, it should not be a problem to win a second prize.
"Teacher Hu and Teacher Zhong have accepted apprentices again? Or did two people collect it together? It's over, with Xiao Li here, it seems that he really can't keep his wife this time! ”
"Go aside, what you said, do you have to do with Xiao Li if you can keep your wife?"
A group of people talked for a while, and Liu Keyi clapped his palms,
"Okay, everyone should be more relaxed at this point, so let's get started. Although the three days are much longer than the previous sessions, I am afraid that the standard will also be improved, everyone should be careful, but don't make a first prize vacancy at that time, this person will lose a lot of money. ”
Hearing this, Li Yi's heart sank, if Liu Keyi didn't say it, he really couldn't think of this possibility. Indeed, the average creation time of a painting is 36 hours, so its quality requirements should be higher than that of 12 hours of painting, this time, let alone the first prize, it should be more difficult to win a third prize than before!
Obviously, before Liu Keyi's reminder, Li Yi was not the only one who didn't think of this possibility, so the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly stagnated, and after a while, Ma Weizhong said with a wry smile:
"I hadn't thought about the first prize before! However, if the standard of the first prize is really raised, then the second and third prizes will definitely rise, and it seems that I should not participate in this competition. ”
"Also, Brother Ma, you didn't prepare well for your calligraphy competition, but you came here to compete with us for places, which is too inauthentic! Otherwise, if you quit now, we will forgive you! ”
"Forgive the hair! I came to participate in the painter contest because I had no way to live in the calligraphy competition. Hey, let me tell you, just Li Yi, he improvised a song "Wuling Chun" at a party at that time, guess what? From the president of the book association to a few regular script masters, that's called a robbery, and Fang Lao even offered a price of two for one......"
Although Ma Weizhong didn't go to the book association gathering, he was clear about what happened at the party, and as soon as he said it at this time, the eyes of everyone in the classroom looking at Li Yi were different. If it was just envy that he worshiped two good masters just now, and it was to give his master a face to praise each other with him, then at this time, he really regarded him as an opponent who could threaten them.
After almost an hour, the classroom finally quieted down, Li Yi also had 11 more business cards and two invitations in his hands, Shi Chongxuan and another painter from Lin Gui, Zhang Xiaofan, were going to hold an exhibition before the end of the year, and they just took this opportunity to invite everyone to come and cheer.
Because of the opening ceremony and chatting, the morning passed quickly. When he left the classroom, he took a look at everyone's easel and found that there were only one or two with him, and the rest had roughly outlined the frame lines of the whole painting, and looking at the appearance, the things to be painted should have been practiced many times, the layout positioning, and the dynamic transition had already been in the chest, and he was still too tender.
Everyone didn't waste time for lunch, and after half an hour of hurried work, they all returned to the classroom, and then the morning drawings began to be drawn in detail. And after Li Yi sat quietly for more than half an hour and recited "Difficult to Walk" repeatedly, a pattern of majestic mountains and rivers began to slowly emerge in his mind.
The afternoon was relatively long, and the dinner was also in the form of a buffet, from six o'clock to nine o'clock, so everyone's meal time was not together, and when Li Yi was temporarily finished and ready to eat, he found that four or five people had already begun to paint the second work.
"Try to rush forward a little bit, so that even if it's okay, you can choose two better ones to hand in at that time, the competition time is extended, and the difficulty has increased."
This time, Ma Weizhong chose to go to dinner with him, but his first work has already been completed.
"Li Yi, I don't think you have practiced much in this painting, why, Teacher Hu didn't give you special training before?"
Li Yi shook his head and trained specially, but the training was based on basic skills, not works used to participate in the competition.
"Awesome, Mr. Hu has seen far away! You're still young, and the results of one or two games don't say anything at all, only laying a good foundation is the most important thing. I can't do it, when the age is up, I won't have a chance if I don't fight. But ......"
Ma Weizhong shook his head and smiled bitterly,
"I was prepared well, but I didn't expect that this time one picture would become four, alas, ......"
After eating, Li Yi returned to the classroom, and found that Liu Keyi, Shi Chongxuan and others had left, and the painted works were also taken away by them, so he sighed helplessly, there is no way, the level is not as good as people, and the preparation is not as adequate as others, so he can only rely on his youth and hard work!
On the first day, Li Yi only slept for 4 hours, and on the second day, he only slept for 5 hours, and on the third day, when he arrived at the classroom early in the morning, he found that almost everyone had already come, and no one started to write anymore, they all gathered together, pointing around a work, and from time to time there were people looking up to the sky and sighing, looking full of emotion but helpless.
"Huh? Xiao Li is here, you have worked hard enough these days, how about it, have you chosen the works you have handed in? ”
Li Yi nodded, glanced at the painting they had just studied, and found that it was a work by Liu Keyi, so he couldn't help but lean over to take a closer look.
In the picture, the scenery of mountains, rivers, flowing water, clouds and smoke and houses fully reflects the artistic conception of the combination of "lofty", "far-reaching" and "flat" in the landscape, coupled with the reality of the mountain and the illusory nature of the clouds and smoke, so that the picture produces an ethereal and elegant feeling out of thin air.
Moreover, in this painting, Liu Keyi's brushwork is smooth and undulating, as the main body of the picture, the combination of outline and various rubbing techniques, not only gives people a feeling full of spirituality, but also allows people to see the thick texture of the mountain at a glance, it is indeed a masterpiece.
"With the level of this painting alone, it is definitely another first prize in the past, but this time it is more troublesome, and we have to see the other three, and I don't know where we will be pulled to sketch in two days, if we have been there before, it will be advantageous."
"Well, Brother Liu's masterpiece has already been appreciated, who should be next?"
Shi Chongxuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally stopped on Li Yi,
"Why don't we take a look at Xiao Li's first?"
