Chapter 780: Perfection and Imperfection
"Ten thousand votes!"
Gu Yun was obviously a little surprised by this vote, and then shook his head gently.
Hei Man was a little curious and asked, "What's the matter?" Childe, do you think that painting just now is not perfect? ”
"Hehe! It's not that it's imperfect!, but it's too perfect, from the painting to the final result!" Gu Yun smiled faintly.
"Then son, why are you still shaking your head?" the black man was a little puzzled.
If a thing has reached the extreme, and you can't see a single flaw in it, then after you have cheered excitedly for its perfection? Do you have a deep sense of loss? Do you have a sense of frustration because the things you see in the future are not perfect? There will even be anxiety about the loss of this perfect thing! Of course! We do not fail to pursue perfection, people still have to pursue perfection, but why don't we leave a trace of flaw in this pursuit! That is, to leave a little leeway for yourself, and with this leeway, you have higher pursuits and goals. ”
Gu Yun said, his eyes as deep as the sea, flashing with the light of thought.
"Then Childe, do you want Yan Shuqing to deliberately leave a little failure when painting, so that this painting will have a little flaw?" asked Hei Man, who seemed to understand or not.
When Yan Gongzi painted, he was engrossed in it, allowing himself to present what he had already thought deeply, but at that time, he should not let the idea of deliberately leaving a flaw in his heart, if he had, not only would it not reflect the desired effect, but it would make a mess of the painting, and even leave a flaw in his heart, which was extremely detrimental to his future practice. ”
"So what do you want him to do?" the black man became more and more confused.
"He doesn't have to do anything, all he does is paint his own picture, and the rest should be in the hands of those who vote, I think out of 10,000 people, even if the painting is perfect to the extreme, but people with different ideas will still have that. Two, of course, these two people must have been shocked by this perfection, but he also felt that there was a kind of other feeling, but this feeling was covered up in everyone's shock, he couldn't insist on his own judgment, so there was a perfect 10,000 votes, this kind of 10,000 votes may make Yan Gongzi lose the motivation to pursue, but also make everyone lose the emptiness after the passion, if someone did not vote, even if it was just a vote not voted, it is much better than this 10,000 votes, the person who voted suddenly found that there was still one person who did not vote, and will regret that this did not draw a vote, this regret and the perfect combination of the paintingThey will feel how right they are, and they will be greatly satisfied; and those who do not vote will not be disappointed because they are the only ones who did not vote, but will be proud of such a perfect thing only because he insists on different opinions; and Yan Gongzi will go in a more perfect direction because of the insignificant difference in this vote, that is, he must be recognized by everyone, although that goal is very difficult, but it is worth it! In that case, everyone will have their own place, and it will be much better than the current situation where the painting itself and the final result are perfect!"
"Oh, Childe, I kind of get it! Something, we have to set out in the direction we believe we are, and in the process of moving forward, flowers and applause do not guarantee that you will succeed, and the person who criticizes you is not necessarily the person who hinders you, but may give you enough motivation, even if that person is your enemy! On the other hand, it also made me know that although we are striving for perfection, in fact we can never catch up, but not being able to catch up does not mean that we have to give up, and if something perfect appears, it may mean the end! But the end is a kind of imperfection!"
Hei Man felt that he listened to Gu Yun's words, but it made him have a lot of insights, he followed his son, and he would make his cultivation progress faster, although his son was hundreds of years younger than him, but his knowledge was much higher than his own.
"Wow!
"Yes, but in the midst of that kind of extreme extreme, I felt a great shock!"
"At the moment when this painting took shape, I felt like my soul was cleansed!"
Hearing people's admiration again, Gu Yun looked over, but it was the wandering scholar Inskin who was painting.
His whole picture is just a drop of water dripping in the void, the picture is simple to the extreme, but when Gu Yun saw this painting, he also felt a great shock from the heart, making people feel the purity and flawlessness of the universe, and it also brought people to the endless distance of the universe, with many confused cosmic mysteries coming to him, as if he would lead himself to insight into the countless secrets of the universe
It seems that this Ingkins has explored some things in the depths of the universe, but it seems that he has only scratched some surfaces, but he expresses it from another angle, which is worth understanding.
In the end, Insking's painting also shocked the jury, receiving 9,861 votes, ranking second among all those who had tried.
Soon after, it was Heiman's turn to play, he directly manipulated all kinds of ink pigments to paint on paper with his divine thoughts, and finally made a painting that although the artistic conception was not so lofty, but it was also plain and natural, and it could make people feel different flavors after a long time, and the votes had just exceeded six thousand, and he was a little higher in the middle of everyone, and he should not be able to enter the final selection, but it was also a satisfactory result, two hours ago, he couldn't do it at all!
Hei Man was not proud, and Gu Yun did not praise, but he smiled and nodded, and the two stood together, feeling the different demeanors and artistic conceptions of different people, waiting for the final arrival
Finally, everyone has finished painting, and it is the turn of the last group, and Gu Yun is also unlucky to draw this last lot, only two people, that is to say, in the end, only three groups of judges are working, and the others have been liberated, and the judges who have enjoyed many beautiful paintings for more than an hour are really a little tired, and from the penultimate batch, several people who have drawn well have not received the ideal number of votes has verified the existence of this situation!
So, both of them seemed listless, just wanting to get out of this tragic situation, and they were both waving their brushes there!
Gu Yun, on the other hand, slowly walked to the place where he painted, and looked at the snow-white paper calmly
Because Gu Yun was in the limelight in the first stage of the previous selection, there was no one here who didn't know him, seeing him walking over slowly and calmly, he said in his heart, he is really an unusual character! It seems that he is really full of confidence in this competition.
But when they saw Gu Yun standing in front of the blank paper, everyone was already shaken in their views on the front!
Isn't he ready yet? It's been two hours and he's not ready, what's the use of thinking about it for a few more minutes?
He must have wanted to surprise everyone at the last minute! It is impossible to say that he has already typed a perfect draft of the work, waiting for it to be completed in one go at the last minute, and it will be a blockbuster!
This kid must be poor in donkey skills, he doesn't know anything about painting at all, I'm afraid he is already desperate at this time, so he will wait for the time to eliminate himself. What's the use of the scenery in front, at this time it's not the same as being eliminated, this is a competition of elegant people, you are a martial artist who doesn't know anything, come here, isn't it humiliating yourself!
At this time, different people have different ideas, some people are lamenting, some are looking forward to it, and some people are there to gloat, waiting to see the joke!
"Hei Man, what is your Gu Gongzi doing?" Hong'er asked Hei Man, there are relatively few people in their piano competition, and it will end first, she and Ruoxue came to look for Gu Yun, who had just arrived at Gu Yun and had already gone to paint, but Yan Liuyun went to He Ruoyun to ask for advice.
"My son-in-law must be trying to create an atmosphere that will make people feel profound! After all, this last competition is more difficult!" Hei Man said there with great confidence, he also sensed a trace from Gu Yun's many words just now, and he was already very convinced of his master.
"Do you want to make others have a deep impact?, I'm afraid that he will anger the judges who are waiting for the end!" Hong'er muttered, and then she glanced at Ruoxue's eyes, which were as calm as usual, but Hong'er could feel that Ruoxue was not worried, and she was very confident!
But where does this faith come from?
Gu Yun had been standing there for almost three minutes, I'm afraid those judges were already mad!
In fact, as Hong'er expected, the 10,000-strong judging group watched Gu Yun come over with confidence, and they were already tired and suddenly had some expectations, maybe this last one could give them something different!
But then, while Gu Yun was standing, they waited for two minutes, and finally their glimmer of expectation was shattered, they felt that this kid was just an idiot-like person, and they were being teased by an idiot, so they were still a little arrogant psychologically and were actually teased by an idiot at this time, so they scolded angrily, and the influence of the Xuantian Academy Palace that they usually received was thrown away at this time, only some white-haired old men shook their heads helplessly.
"That kid doesn't know how to draw!
"I was played by an idiot, how can I feel embarrassed?"
"Idiot, if you can't draw, get down, don't waste our time!"
"Hmph, if I'm outside, I'm going to have to smash him with a basket of rotten eggs!"
People are scolding frantically, as if they have suffered a great sin here at this time, can't they seriously think about it, since they are just doing a judgment work here, whether the other party paints or not, whether the painting is good or bad, you have to do your own thing well, others can't draw well, you don't vote, why show yourself such an unbearable side?
Anyway, it's five minutes, and you can see other people's drawings and you can't see other people's paintings, these five minutes have to pass, but why do you have two completely different attitudes?
If you only talk about the result, it is the same for yourself, why can't you take it calmly?
Just as people were scolding, Gu Yun suddenly picked up a thick pen and waved it towards the drawing paper
