Gu Weijing threw the brush into the pen washer on the side.

He looked down at the still wet scroll on the page, and even when he came back to his senses, he was slightly startled.

It's so beautiful!

In order to paint the "Little Prince", Gu Weijing walked through the boundless nebula in the candlelight, and watched the sunrise with Xiao Zhengtai on the sand dunes forty-four times before he got the last "painstaking" level work.

Now.

The second Chinese painting of the same level in his life was lying alive on the table in front of him, the ink was as red as blood.

The painting process was not painful at all, he was only slightly mentally tired.

The slight sleepiness after returning home from a fugue.

He looked at his own painting of "Wisteria Flowers", then turned his head sideways to look at Tang Ning's "Hundred Flowers" hanging on the wall, and casually picked up a brush hanging on the windowsill to dry next to him, put it in his mouth and bit it gently.

It's a childish move.

Gu Weijing helped his grandfather take care of the habit of art when he was a child, Chinese painting is very delicate, both afraid of moisture, but also afraid of dry, under normal circumstances, the ambient humidity can not be higher than 60%, for the moist and bright of the pigment, it is best not to be less than 48%, feel the tip of the brush with the tip of the tongue, not astringent or wet, soft and moderate.

Gently licking, you can feel a trace of wetness on the tongue, but there can never really be moisture, which is the ideal condition for placing calligraphy and painting works.

This is a local method that has been passed down from generation to generation by the elders.

When he grew up, Gu Weijing finished painting, and occasionally liked to bite the pen.

After Sakai Katsuko found out about her boyfriend's little habit, she was a little worried, and she wanted Gu Weijing to correct this bad habit of biting pens many times in the past two weeks.

Wang Ximeng, a court painter in the Northern Song Dynasty who painted "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in history, is said to have nothing to do, and likes to lick the paint and hang up the braids.

The plant-based pigments of Chinese painting are fine, and plant extracts such as rouge are not harmful, but the crimson pigments contain mercury in almost all water, and the yellow pigments contain arsenic in almost all water, which is a close relative of arsenic.

The quick-drying test pigments in oil paintings are counted as one, and there are heavy metals such as manganese, lead, and cadmium as additives to make oil pigments solidify quickly.

Although toxicity aside from the dosage is all hooliganism, there are very few toxic substances in the brushes that are washed and dried.

It's not a snack to play with, is it?

I like to look at the humidity, ready-made humidity agents are everywhere, and that's not much more accurate than licking a brush.

When Gu Weijing was painting, Katsuko Sakai never affected him. But whenever he saw Gu Weijing preparing to stuff a brush into his mouth, he would gently pat his forehead.

In the small studio, there is a row of lemon-flavored lollipops stuck in the pen holder.

It wasn't for Jasmine's children, but for her boyfriend.

She thinks that Gu Weijing is an unconscious biting and chewing pica.

This is a disease, to change, he likes to bite things, whenever he bites the pen, Miss Katsuko intimately peels a lollipop next to him and feeds it into his mouth.

Same as Pavlov's dog.

In the future, if you develop a muscle memory conditioned reflex, your boyfriend will stop biting the pen and bite the lollipop instead.

Katsuko Sakai's boyfriend development plan has had little effect so far, and the power of habit is very strong.

In the dead of night, when Miss Sakai is not around, Gu Weijing still likes to bite the tip of the brush with the tip of his teeth as he did when he was young.

Testing the humidity is just a incidental thing.

He prefers this kind of sporadic residual ink that remains between the gaps between the brushes on the tip of the tongue, which is bitter at the beginning of the mouth, and gently sweet after the taste.

In the Middle Ages, pious monks would whip their bare backs with rattan belts inlaid with thorns, believing that the sense of pain would allow their bodies to better establish direct communication with the gods in the sky.

And Gu Weijing likes this kind of bitterness.

Bitterness is a kind of bridge in the dark, linking the painter with his calligraphy and painting works, like a kind of bond that exists and does not exist.

Lemon-flavored lollipops can't give him such a sense of steadiness.

Gu Weijing bit the tip of the pen, and the feeling on the tip of his tongue came clearly, reminding him that the shocking and moving painting in front of him was painted by his own hands.

This work may not be the most awesome work of his life, but it is the perfect ending of this twilight spring when he is about to turn eighteen.

Those lifelike wisteria flowers and leaves forever froze his state of mind on the paper.

Since then.

It will never wither with time again.

"The humidity in the room is a little bit higher now, but not to the point where the ink doesn't dry out or gets damp during the rainy season in July and August, which can damage the paintings. Tomorrow when the rain stops during the day and the temperature goes up, it should be noon, and the painting will be almost dry...... Well, what words should I mention? ”

Chinese painting pays attention to inscriptions.

Gu Weijing first took a seal of his seal and engraved it in the corner of the rice paper as a payment, and then raised his eyebrows and thought.

Gu Weijing is also broken and then stands, but his mentality is similar to Uncle Sakai, and there is also an essential difference.

After Professor Kazunari Sakai painted the painting, he put it down peacefully, not caring too much about whether anyone looked at the painting or how much it would sell.

Because he already has Mrs. Cruz as the most important audience.

People are like rainbows.

The rest are murmurs.

Gu Weijing is different, his painting is to meet Tang Ning's questioning, that is, to show others.

Uncle Sakai painted a picture of tranquility.

Gu Weijing's painting is a competitive painting to meet challenges, a painting of a new life after letting go of fear and self-pity, and a painting of an adult.

He wants to use the brush in his hand to paint his dignity in Tangning.

The inscription reads - "To the seniors? ”

It's a little soft, and Don Ning didn't talk to him so well.

Or write - "Draw it to you?" ”

It's a bit vulgar again, and Gu Weijing's ancient literary skills are average, writing vernacular Chinese, and the same teleprompter as a shrew scolding the street, I don't know what Tang Ning's mood is when he sees it.

Gu Weijing himself felt insulted by such a great work.

Well......

He fell into a long period of contemplation, he went to a European-style English international school, and his classical Chinese skills were already insufficient, and it was difficult to think of the inscriptions that could express his mood very well.

Gu Weijing bit the pen.

The paintings were all drawn, and I stumped myself with the prompter.

After thinking about it, he hesitated to visit the old man Wu next door tomorrow morning.

This old man is practicing calligraphy, and he will ask people this kind of thing at two ends in three days, and he should know how to specialize in art.

Hey?

Gu Weijing suddenly patted his head.

He suddenly realized that he had missed something.

In "The Godfather", the old godfather said that a person who can understand the essence of things in an instant is naturally a different fate from a person who spends half his life not being able to see the essence of a thing.

Gu Weijing calmed down, and suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the essence of this matter.

Tang Ning demonstrated to himself because other female painters hated him? No, this statement is too exalted for him.

It was because Cao Lao showed his love for him.

The essence of the matter is always the attitude of Mr. Cao Xuan.

The rest is completely unimportant to Gu Weijing.

Therefore, people say that you can't draw her divine will, and what he does should not be to paint a great work to fight back.

Advocate some demonstrative words on the scroll and give it to Downing, and the other party may not care at all.

He should be dedicated to ...... It's Mr. Cao.

Thinking about this, Gu Weijing knew how to do it now and how to write.

He raised his head and glanced at the "Hundred Flowers", this work is also very innovative, different from the general Chinese painting system, except for a small "Ning" character signature, there is no inscription.

In the blank space on the right side of the picture, Tang Ning used upright regular script to mention the four words "Qiong Bao Jie Cui".

He also listened to Professor Lin Tao and knew that the origin of these four words was extraordinary.

This is not only to say that the flowers and trees she painted, colorful, frosty white and green, but also a classic.

Among the four great talents in Jiangnan, Wen Zhengming is the oldest to become famous and has the highest achievements. Whether it is books, paintings, or articles, Wen Zhengming can be ranked in front of Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan.

It is considered by many scholars to be the first person to attain artistic attainments in the Ming Dynasty.

When Wen Zhengming was young, he was a guest at the Zhao family in Tianshui, and painted a total of eight volumes of "Flower Pictures", including orchids and wildflowers, begonias and moon seasons.

On the first page of this set of "Flower Pictures", there are four words "Qiong Bao Tie Cui".

Ms. Tang Ning is not only imitating the antique and antique, expressing her respect to the ancient flower painters, but also the art of the first cry of the young phoenix, catching up with the momentum and ambition of the ancients.

Today's people don't have to be inferior to the ancients.

Tang Ning hoped that his simple "Hundred Flowers" would be better than the eight volumes of flower pictures in Wen Zhengming.

Later generations of literati and writers mentioned this allusion again, first thinking of her Miss Tangning, and then after that, she was a great talent in the Ming Dynasty.

Take a look.

Just these four words, there are so many doorways, which not only highlight the pattern of bearing, but also have ancient elegance.

The family history of the scholarly family really has something that Gu Weijing can't compare, so he thinks that he will never come up with such an exquisite word game.

Gu Weijing pondered for a moment.

I took the tip of the brush out of my mouth, dipped it on the inkstone next to it, calmly wrote it on the surface of the rice paper.

"The younger generation Gu Weijing is dedicated to the revered Mr. Cao Xuan, and I wish Mr. Cao to be like a hundred flowers, and he will be called a birthday cup every year."

Mr. Cao, I think this title is just right.

It is normal for the younger generation to call the elder teacher a teacher, and he did not arrogantly call himself a disciple, but expressed his true intentions and wishes.

He thought about it for two seconds, and then wrote the words "white-haired hairpin pen Yuxiu" at the bottom of this line.

It was Ms. Downing who inspired him.

Tang Ning likes to use allusions from Wen Zhengming, and Gu Weijing can also use the same allusions from Wen Zhengming.

The white-haired hairpin pen is a praise for Wen Zhengming's career achievements, he is the longest longevity painter in the feudal history of Eastern Xia, there may not be one of them, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty. When he was born, he was still in the year of adulthood, and when he died, Nurhachi was already born.

When Wen Zhengming was young, his artistic level among his peers was not as famous as Tang Bohu and others, but he lived a huge life, and the older he used the pen, the older he became.

He became famous at the age of thirty, became a grandmaster at the age of fifty, and was already the first person in the Jiangnan Painting Sect at the age of sixty.

Back to basics, the more you paint, the more fairy you have.

The same expression is appropriately used to refer to Mr. Cao Xuan.

Gu Weijing's words are a bit shameless and suspicious.

But that's right.

He's just slapping the sycophants, what's wrong!

Ms. Tang Ning has the elegance of a literati, and a child like him also has the brightness of growing up in the market.

It doesn't hurt to have a little sweetness in a child's mouth.

Gu Weijing has already figured it out, and the emotional master on YouTube said in his love teaching that if you love someone, you must speak out boldly. It's the same with wanting to worship someone as a teacher.

You must do a good job in painting, and don't just paint in the studio without saying a word, as if people are rushing to accept you as an apprentice.

To pat himself on the back from time to time, the painting is dedicated to Mr. Cao, expressing his desire to learn from his teacher, he is happy, and Cao Lao is also happy.

How wonderful.

Gu Weijing smiled slightly, feeling that he was really a planner.

——

In front of the old Bauhaus-style complex of the HFBK (Hamburg Academy of the Arts), a rehearsal of extras breaks the tranquility of the past.

The photographer kept adjusting the still-head camera movement of the Sony cinema camera in his hand, and there was a DJI inspire3 professional drone overhead that was designing and programming aerial waypoints to fly back and forth.

A beautiful girl in a green backless dress, in front of the sculpture in front of the school gate, tried to concave a "melancholy and sexy charming" shape in the director's mouth.

It's hard to say whether sexy and glamorous is not sexy.

In the cold outdoor wind of less than 10 degrees in Hamburg in April, although a shawl was draped on the girl's skinny bare back before the official start of filming, her face was still a little pale from the cold, and the melancholy was melancholy enough.

However, the director did not signal the start of filming, and no one in the shooting venue complained.

Even the heroine didn't run to a few dozen meters away, driving a warm camera car to avoid the cold wind, everyone was holding their breath, as if waiting for something.

Finally......

A short "beep" electronic sound came from the school building in the air.

This is the uniform bell for the first big class in the afternoon at the University of Hamburg.

The bell sounded like a referee's starting gun, and everyone on the set immediately became busy.

The assistant took the cloak from the girl's back and threw it on the prop table on the side, the drone took off into the air, and the camera was controlled by the focus officer to focus on the front door of the school building.

"Hurry up, today there is Professor Cao's A Brief History of Oriental Art, the brother who signed up for that course said that the class was on time, Professor Cao has already gone out, and in another 3 minutes and 24 seconds, the old professor will walk out of this gate and cross the lawn in front of the building from the side, the photographer is ready, catch this shot, there is only one chance."

The director glanced at the message on his mobile phone, and he arranged an internal response among the students who were drawn by lot to teach Professor Cao's class, and immediately ordered in his mouth.
