Chapter Seventy-Three: A Hodgepodge of Art?

The propaganda poster of the Great Shang Federation Empire Parade reflects the level of color printing technology on Liuqiu Island, which is completely related to the printing of the Great Song Dynasty New Year paintings.

The Great Song Dynasty had already begun to use woodblock printing for the production of New Year paintings, and it was also possible to use five or six colors of color printing at the same time.

Because of the use of color engraving printing, New Year's pictures can be produced in large quantities, and can be sold in the bazaar, making a good amount of money, thus, this technology can flourish, and the level is getting higher and higher.

Of course, in the eyes of Wang Defa's family, the propaganda posters printed in this way are simply the level of comic books!

But in the eyes of people in this period------ imperial army was too powerful, and no matter where it was posted, it would attract everyone to watch, and some people even wanted to buy it home.

In order to prevent people from tearing them home, Yang Youxing, the Minister of Culture and Education of the Empire, had to order a lot of printing and public sale.

Mr. Wang taught photographers how to enlarge black and white photographs and how to color them.

However, the effect after enlarged colorization is really not good-looking, and it can't catch up with the reality of the original black and white photos.

Wang Defa's family thought about it, let them go to practice, photos, it's just a bookmark of an era, it's enough to leave a file.

In fact, the best effect is still oil painting, especially after the theoretical guidance of King Zhang Guoan, the painter from Florence, the one named Cimabuye, and his disciple, named Giotto, their painting skills have increased by leaps and bounds------ in fact, in the eyes of King Zhang Guoan, it is becoming more and more realistic.

Chemabuye and Giotto each painted a portrait of King Zhang Guoan in a military dress------ in which he was radiant, seemed to have boundless energy, and had the confidence to grasp the truth of the universe.

He admired it for a long time, but he couldn't distinguish which one was better, so he had someone frame it, and hung one in his office and one in the living room at home.

As for the family portraits, they were given black and white photos, and let them follow the pictures and leave a souvenir, without asking for any artistry.

Giotto was the youngest of the painters and sculptors from Italy, and as a result, he learned to speak and write the Great Song dialect in less than a few years.

King Zhang Guoan's "theoretical guidance" on their art was basically relayed through Giotto.

One day, Queen Quiet smiled and said, "Guoan, you are talking about the painting techniques and styles of various genres, and you are not afraid to make a hodgepodge of art?" ”

"Hehe, a hodgepodge is a hodgepodge------ I really can't stand the style of the Great Song Dynasty figure paintings, it's just a children's painting! There is no proportion to the proportion, there is no perspective to see, and there is no light!

If you look at their sculpture level, it's really too bad, it's really not good not to learn from others! ”

In fact, there is no need for King Zhang Guoan to worry about it, since the Western-style oil paintings came out on Liuqiu Island, the painters of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Painting Academy have noticed it, and several painters have taken the initiative to go to Liuqiu Island to learn from foreign painters and sculptors.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty are easy to learn and are inclusive, and there are still ------ organizations like the Boxer Rebellion have no soil for survival at all.

Even though the types of human art are different, there must be something in common, and the two sides of the exchange really have a common language.

God knows what kind of hodgepodge will emerge when freehand and realism are intertwined------ anyway, it's just an artistic thing, no matter how bad it is.

During the military parade, Wang Defa's family found a deficiency------- they forgot to build a large military band!

It seems that the soldiers walked only with footsteps, which was not spectacular enough.

Of course, instruments like brass are very easy to make, but then there's the question of staves and sevenths!

The national emblem and national flag have been set, how can we forget the national anthem and military anthem!

Wang Defa patted his head and said to King Zhang Guoan: "We ignore art too much------- at this time, the Great Song people just use the name of the word plate to prescribe the tune, right?" Is there only five notes? And the future generations are all lost, right?

If we use staves to sort it out now, future generations will not know how much to thank us. ”

"Hehe, Lao Wang, don't worry, no matter how much we change, our future generations will definitely blame us for not doing well enough-------"

"That's right! We need unsatisfied descendants, not those who flaunt our achievements. ”

Subsequently, Wang Defa's family also began to give "theoretical guidance" to the young artists of the Great Song Dynasty, and soon cultivated a group of artists who could read staves, understand seven tones, and also know chords.

After a series of brass instruments were made, Wang Defa's family could only let them practice their own.

To be honest, he could know the structure of the instrument from the drawings, but it would be difficult to get him to play the tune.

Wang Defa wrote a song "The Empire is with Us", and then asked Wen Tianxiang to polish the pen.

After Wen Tianxiang saw it, he frowned and said, "This is a word?" Where do you Yin Di'an write words like this?! ”

Wang Defa said proudly: "Yes! We just need words that are easy for everyone to sing and have a simple and bright rhythm! ”

"But your rhyme is wrong, and you don't have a word name------ how can people sing it?"

Wang Defa suddenly realized and asked a very unprofessional sentence: "At this time, is there a word or a song first?" ”

What is this time?!

Wen Tianxiang rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, there is a song first, and it is common sense to use music to determine words-------

Well, Wang Defa's family rummaged through his laptop and found a tune that he thought was simple and bright.

Then let the Great Song artists perform for Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang didn't see these strange-looking instruments, but he could hear a rough idea, so he modified them according to the melody he heard.

The military song directly uses "Man Jianghong", regardless of whether it was written by Yue Fei or not------ marching song directly uses "March of the Grenadiers".

After working back and forth for a while, I finally got some appearance.

Wang Defa's family sighed: "It's finally starting to be regular!" ”

King Zhang Guoan said: "Wait for them to do it themselves, you see that you are busy." ”

"No, no, we have to get the direction right, if they make a nondescript national anthem and march in the future, I won't be able to stand it------ this can be regarded as a mandatory arrangement before I leave."

King Zhang Guoan sighed: "The people of the Great Song Dynasty have not yet learned to speak logic, saying that 'there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in people', which of the stars in the sky is not a star?"

You are in the direction of South Asia, and I am in the direction of East Asia, why can't we cooperate? ”

Wang Defa nodded silently and said, "Work hard for a while, for our next generation!" ”

When it comes to the next generation, the captain of the special brigade, Huang Zu and Squadron Leader Wang Xuanbin, are having a headache.

Since receiving a secret notice that the children in the upper grades of the Liuqiu School were going to the snow training camp at the mouth of the Yalu River for the winter camp------ Squadron Leader Wang Xuanbin has bid farewell to the leisurely life of Meizizi.

Huang Zu, the captain of the special brigade, also came to his barracks in advance, needless to say, how important is the defense work of this winter camp!
