Chapter Thirty-Eight: Improvisational Painting

"The drawing contest starts now! There is no limit to the type of painting, and the competition time is 120 minutes......" The sonorous and powerful voice of the host spread to every corner of the venue.

"Wait!" Tang Yin's voice came out abruptly, interrupting the host's words.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tang Yin, including Guitian Ryuichi.

"Tang Yin has something to say?" The host turned to face Tang Yin and asked humbly.

"Well, I want to have some excitement with Guitian-san, I don't know if he dare?" Tang Yin walked into Guitian Longyi and said with a smile.

Gui Tianlong looked at Tang Yin, who was smiling evilly, and said slightly timidly: "Why don't you dare?" …… How to play? ”

Tang Yin touched his nose and smiled: "I'll ask first, I don't know if you will paint ink, watercolor, gouache or oil painting later?" ”

Guitian Ryuichi said without thinking: "Ink painting! ”

Tang Yin then smiled and asked, "Oh, you're also good at ink?" That's good, dare to ask whether it is a gongbi painting or a freehand painting? ”

Gui Tian Long: "The fine brush painting is neat and meticulous, the color is rendered layer by layer, the details are clear and detailed, and it is too time-consuming to use extremely delicate brushstrokes to depict the image!" I paint freehand paintings, hoping that in the shortest time, I can use concise, bold and sprinkled brushwork to depict the shape and spirit of objects and express the feelings in my heart! ”

"Haha, that's good, since everyone draws freehand paintings, then let's let the smart computer come up with a topic, and it's good to divide the idea into a high and low! Also, two hours is too long, in order not to make the audience wait too long, the time should also be shortened to one stick of incense, I don't know if you dare to accept it? ”

When Tang Yin's words came out, everyone was shocked: the painters who dared to let the computer draw questions on the spot, not to mention in Huada, even the whole of China, there are few people!

Why? Because no one knows what kind of questions the computer will draw out, in case the topic is too difficult for the painter to draw new ideas, then, even if you are a wonderful hand, it is a sigh of hope!

What's even more powerful is that Tang Yin proposed to shorten the game time, shortening two hours to one stick of incense!

You must know that the time for a stick of incense is only 40 minutes, which virtually increases the difficulty of the game by more than one notch!

Gui Tianlong looked embarrassed and was silent.

Originally, he had already thought about what to paint, and he had even painted it many times at home, and he was familiar with it, but he didn't expect Tang Yin to propose an impromptu painting!

You must know that the improvisation competition is very good for the basic skills of school painters, and those who are not deep in skills will lose the slightest mistake and lose the whole game!

……

To say yes or not to say yes?

If you agree, you will not be able to step down, and you will lose the face of the emperor.

"Guitian-san, are you only going to fry leftovers, not improvisation? If that's the case, it's not much fun to compare with you! Tang Yin said with a wicked smile.

"You...... Good! Improvisation, improvisation, am I still afraid of you? If I can't draw it, you probably won't be able to draw it! Guitian Longyi pretended to be brave and comforted himself.

Tang Yin smiled and said, "Haha, I hope so!" Moderator, announce the new rules of the contest! ”

The host turned around, faced the audience, and said with a slight excitement: "After the discussion between Tang Yin and Guitian Long, the type of painting is set to ink freehand painting, and the topic will be drawn out by the intelligent computer at will, and the competition time will be changed to a stick of incense!" ”

As soon as the host's words came out, the audience's blood boiled: exciting, really exciting! It turned out to be an impromptu topic for painting, awesome!

When the staff heard this, they immediately set up an incense burner in the center of the stage and planted a 30-centimeter-long sandalwood plant.

"Please scroll through the alternative questions on your smart computer!" The host shouted.

Suddenly, on the big screen, there were titles with only book titles: "", ""......

"Stop!" The host with his back to him called to stop, and the scroll bar came to an abrupt end!

"Please smart computer, turn the question!" The moderator said.

A flash of light flashed, and a few words appeared out of thin air in the title of the book on the big screen: Watching the flowers

"The game starts, please light the incense from the staff!" The moderator said.

Suddenly, the uniformed beauty on the side lit the sandalwood on the large incense burner in the center, and the cigarette rose curlingly, overflowing a piece of incense.

As soon as the exam question came out, the audience immediately discussed: What does this question mean? How should I draw to create something new?

"Please be quiet and don't disturb the players' thinking!" The host reminded.

……

After Guitian Longyi raised his eyes and finished reading the question, he smiled and said in his heart: What problems do you think will come out? That's it? Hmph, don't think I don't know what it means to "look at the flowers"!

Walk the horse, run on a horse, look at the flowers, is to ride on the running horse to see the flowers, the so-called "spring breeze is proud, a look at the Chang'an flowers." "That's what it means!

So, Guitian Ryu began to conceive it.

After reading this exam question, Tang Bohu smiled and said in his heart: This topic is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say! Whether you can be a step ahead depends on each other's intentions!

So, Tang Bohu recalled the allusion to the idiom of watching flowers.

Wandering around the flowers, from Meng Jiao's poem: "After Dengke".

In the past, it was not enough to boast about dirty, but now there is no end to debauchery.

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers.

When Meng Jiao was forty-six years old, he thought that he could start a new life from now on. I couldn't hold back my smug joy and turned into this unique little poem. This poem is more well-known because it left two idioms of "spring breeze pride" and "walking horses and seeing flowers" to future generations. The poet fell into the first place twice, and this time he was actually in high school, as if he had suddenly come out of the sea of suffering and climbed to the peak of joy. Therefore, at the beginning of the poem, he directly poured out the ecstasy in his heart, saying that the difficulties in life and ideological uneasiness in the past are no longer worth mentioning.

"The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." The poet was triumphant and full of joy, so he rode a horse in the spring breeze and galloped in the flowery Chang'an Daobu, and people were in good spirits at happy events. At this time, the poet was in high spirits, not only felt that the spring breeze was swaying, the sky was high, the avenue was flat, and even his own horses were full of wind. There is a huge Chang'an City, with countless spring flowers, but he has seen it all, it is really "debauched"!

The poet's love and scenery will be realized, and he not only vividly depicts his proud state after high school, but also expresses his pride heartily, which is bright and smooth and has a unique rhyme. As a result, these two poems have become people's favorite famous sentences for the ages, and two idioms have been derived, but the poet's extreme ambition is also a manifestation of his small strength.

Tang Bohu remembered this allusion, and the idea of this painting was clear in his chest!

……

At this time, Zhang Lan and several people in the large private room on the third floor were also discussing this question fiercely: how should I draw it?

Some people say that they focus on painting people, some say that they focus on painting flowers, some say that they focus on painting the prosperity of Chang'an streets, and some say that they focus on painting how fast the horses run.

……

Cigarettes curled and sandalwood had burned a fifth.

Guitian Longyi was splashing ink, and Tang Yin was still calm, smoking and pondering there.

The audience was a little worried about Tang Yin: Tang Yin couldn't think of it, right? Why haven't you painted it yet?

Tang Yin finished smoking, thought about it, and decided to visit his opponent.

Guitian Ryuichi was engaged in painting, and he didn't care that Tang Yin was peeking behind him.

"Guitian-san, why are you in such a hurry? Come on, shall we smoke a cigarette? Tang Yin sneered.

Guitian Longyi was startled, hurriedly blocked his painting, and said angrily: "This set again? Lao Tzu doesn't smoke! You Chinese people are so cunning, don't peek at my paintings! Get away from me! ”

Tang Yin smiled and said, "Peeking at your paintings, it's really a joke, do you think your ideas are very clever?" Later, if I draw the same as you, even if I lose! Now you are relieved, right? ”

Guitian Longyi was slightly surprised, and said in his heart: So confident?

"That's what you said! Okay, I'll show you! Guitian Ryu flashed to the side, letting go of the sleeves that covered him.

The strange thing is that Tang Yin didn't take a look at it anymore, and said lightly: "I already took a look at it just now, I really can't stand it, I'm afraid I can't help but comment for a while, you will cry!" ”

Gui Tianlong's eyes rolled: "Hmph, if you can't think of it, come to make trouble, disturb me, and want to disturb my mind, I won't fall for you, you get out of the way!" ”

Tang Yin laughed and left.

After leaving, Tang Bohu took out the wine gourd, drank two sips of wine, and recalled his past life: Compared with Meng Jiao's 46-year-old Zhongjinshi, he was even more miserable!

The highest in his life is Ying Tianfu Xie Yuan, went to Beijing to take the exam, was implicated in the fraud case and was imprisoned, and he never had a chance with Jinshi again in his life, not to mention the top three Jinshi: champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua!

Thinking of this, Tang Bohu's eyes moistened, he was only eight years old, and he actually had no chance with Jinshi in his life! He understands better than anyone that after Meng Jiaozhong Jinshi, he wanted to see all the Chang'an flowers in one go!

So, he dipped himself in thick ink and began to splash ink!

Tang Bohu intends to put the pen first, ink on a large scale, smear the east and west, sway freely, and the half-pillar incense kung fu will be waved!

After the painting was completed, Tang Bohu inscribed a poem in the blank space in the upper left corner of the painting: "Walking Horses and Watching Flowers"

Down-and-out and pitiful, chess is the moon and wine is the year.

Life is not drunk before the flowers, and the years pass to the past!

ps: "Watching the Flowers" is a fusion of many poems by the uncle who intercepted Tang Yin, and I laughed! Thank you for the rewards of [Sage Returns to the City], [Newspaper Furnace Eating Melon], [Style Default] [Writing and Breaking the Sword] [Young Master Xu Han] and others! The missing thanks will be made up!
