Game scene.

The live broadcast is about to begin.

Lin Zhibai and other participating painters have all arrived.

Someone was introducing the rules, even though everyone already knew them.

This year's Qi Chu Wen Dou painting competition has no requirements in terms of content, but there are strict rules on the type, that is, contestants must draw ink paintings.

Ink painting is the representative of traditional painting.

Basic ink painting consists of only water and ink, that is, black and white.

As for advanced ink paintings, there are also meticulous flower and bird paintings, etc., which can be described as colorful, and sometimes they can also be called "color ink paintings".

According to the rules of the competition, today's painters comply with the competition regulations whether they create the most traditional black and white ink paintings or create advanced "color ink paintings"——

If we were on Earth, oil paintings would also have great influence.

In the painting circle of this world, ink painting has the highest status.

After all, this is Blue Star. The Eastern culture of the Great Celestial Dynasty in the previous life dominated the world, so the top painting competitions are all ink paintings, and the most valuable paintings must also be ink themes.

Wait until the rules are introduced.

Painters began to enter.

Every painter has his own position arrangement.

After Lin Zhibai and other participating painters arrived at their locations, the live broadcast officially began!

host:

"Welcome everyone to watch Qi Chu Wen Dou. The competition has entered the fourth day. Today we are going to compete in painting. The type is of course our favorite ink style. The competition will start in ten minutes. Let's start with the painters. Just do a simple random interview.”

Said.

The host walked towards Lin Zhibai.

When Lin Zhibai saw the host approaching, he knew that the other party was going to interview him and was mentally prepared.

"Hello, Teacher Lin Zhibai!"

"Hello."

"Teacher Lin Zhibai won the championship in the previous several events. Now viewers from all over the world say you are a god online. What do you think of this?"

"It's passed."

"Haha, Teacher Lin Zhibai is very humble. What do you think of your painting level?"

"good."

"Sure enough, Teacher Lin Zhibai is very humble."

The host smiled and interviewed the next painter, but the live broadcast rooms in various continents were full of barrages!

…

Qinzhou.

"Finally the painting project is here. Bai Di has already won three gold medals. Can we continue today?"

"It's impossible. Although he is a god, gods should have their limits. He himself said that painting is just okay."

"Looking at Qizhou's variety show, Bai Di's painting skills are also at the master level, so the level he says is good is the master level that most people in the world want to look up to!"

"Master, it's okay, Lin Zhibai!"

"This smell is definitely Lin Fangbi himself!"

…

Qizhou.

“It’s so safe to see the richest man in every project!”

"I seem to feel the same way, but we can't expect the richest man to win the prize in painting, right?"

"It doesn't matter if we lose today. Anyway, we have won three projects. We just need to win one more of the next four projects!"

"Next there are poems and couplets, both of which are the strengths of the richest man!"

"Yeah, that's why I said, painting doesn't matter, so what if Chuzhou wins!"

…

Chuzhou.

"It's our turn to win today!"

"The first three rounds were so frustrating, being suppressed by Lin Zhibai so miserably!"

"It doesn't matter, I don't believe that Lin Zhibai is really a god, and he can continue to show off today!"

"Lin Zhibai couldn't show off today. The host just asked him how his painting skills were, so I just answered it, okay?"

"This must be a bit timid."

…

Zhaozhou.

"Today we, the Zhaozhou audience, can watch with our heads up and our chests high!"

"Hahaha, our Zhaozhou's number one painter, Teacher Ling Tian, ​​is Chuzhou's foreign aid. Unfortunately, Lin Zhibai's painting level may be far inferior to the level of his first three projects, but he is not really a god after all. , it’s time to lose!”

"What if, I mean what if, Lin Zhibai still wins today?"

"Haha, if Lin Zhibai wins today, then I will obey him for the rest of my life without even trying to support him!"

"Tsk, tsk, I thought you were going to say he was going to win. He's live streaming Chixiang. It seems he's still not firm enough."

…

Zhongzhou.

"Watch Lin Zhibai's game for the first time!"

"I have watched this episode, and Lin Zhibai won the championship in the end!"

"Hahahaha, wake up upstairs. Lin Zhibai has won three championships. If he wins again, I will doubt whether he is an alien!"

"Looking at the interview, Lin Zhibai is also very low-key. I guess he doesn't have much confidence in painting."

"I checked Lin Zhibai's information. He is better at the latter few projects. He doesn't seem to have much to say about painting. However, Chuzhou's foreign aid Ling Tian is the top ink master of Blue Star!"

…

The name Ling Tian is really domineering.

What's even more domineering is Ling Tian's achievement, the number one painter in Zhaozhou!

He is said to be number one in Zhaozhou, but in fact he is also ranked among the top in the entire Blue Star!

Some people even say that Ling Tian's paintings are unrivaled in the world, but this is like saying who has the best literary talent.

Hard to comment.

After all, there is no second place in literature and martial arts.

Unless someone can crush everyone in the same industry.

Obviously Ling Tian is not yet capable of crushing everyone.

There are still a few painters in the circle who can compete with him or even share the same score.

And top painters usually don't participate in any painting competitions.

That is to say, Qi Chuwendou's situation was special enough that he invited Ling Tian out.

God knows how much Chu Zhou paid in order to invite Ling Tian to appear. Thinking about it, it couldn't be too small.

Obviously.

Chuzhou attaches great importance to Qi Chuwendou.

It's just a pity that they met Qizhou's "strongest foreign aid in history" Lin Zhibai, who had already won three gold medals!

"We can only hope that we will start to overtake today!"

"Although we have lost the first three events, if we win all the next four events, we will still be the final winner of this Qi Chuwen competition!"

"Yes."

"Even Lin Zhibai can't be perfect every time!"

"Today's competition is about painting. Almost no one can beat Teacher Ling Tian in painting!"

Chuzhou hasn't given up yet.

After all, as long as they win all the next four events, they can beat Qi Chuwendou with a score of four to three!

It may sound like a long shot, but don’t forget that last year Chuzhou defeated Wen Dou six to one!

Six to one they all did.

Four to three, could it be more difficult than six to one?

This is the psychological advantage saved last year, so until this moment, Chuzhou still has hope for a comeback in his heart!

…

While all parties were discussing, the competition was officially announced, and the ten painters began their own creations.

Of course Lin Zhibai also started.

Ink paintings mostly feature mountains, rivers, natural landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and insects as their themes.

The most grand among them is the theme of landscape.

After all, landscape painting is the essence of loving nature, the beauty of heaven and earth, yin and yang, darkness, clear rain, cold and heat, morning and dusk, day and night...

All have endless fun.

Therefore, Lin Zhibai also planned to use landscape as the theme.

As for the name of the painting, let's just keep it simple and call it "Lishan Picture".

Yes, Lin Zhibai wants to paint Lishan in Qizhou!

Since he was participating in the competition on behalf of Qizhou, it made sense to paint the scenery of Qizhou.

Besides, Lin Zhibai still missed Lishan. After all, it was one of the few pastoral lives he had ever experienced in his life.

Think of this.

Lin Zhibai began to paint.

…

Painting is a very consuming task, especially if it lasts for a day. Sitting for a long time will cause backache.

After the game starts.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

Some painters will get up and stretch their muscles while painting.

Lin Zhibai didn't need it. He was the youngest painter. He wouldn't suffer from back pain even if he sat for several hours.

This makes other painters envious when they see it.

As for the content of the paintings, no one could tell the difference in the first few hours.

After all, anyone who really knows how to paint knows that the final effect takes hours of continuous rendering.

In other words, whether a painting is good or not depends on at least 80% of the painting being completed before you can see some clues.

When painting reaches noon, the painter can pause and go backstage to eat.

After all, there is no such thing as cheating in painting, unless you find someone to write for you.

But this is a live broadcast, and there are so many shots that make you want to shoot them in the face. The contestants must and can only complete the paintings independently.

Lin Zhibai didn't eat until half past twelve.

At this time, six or seven-tenths of his painting was completed.

Although it is still unclear whether the painting is good or bad, the charm has been vaguely revealed.

even.

Some viewers from Qinzhou and Qizhou recognized it!

"This picture!"

"What a familiar sight!"

"Is this mountain Lishan!?"

"Look at the two bulges, they are clearly the Twin Bird Peaks in Lishan Mountain!"

"Yes, yes, there is also the pink sea of ​​mist that only appears in the sunset. The richest man is wearing pink!"

“Although I haven’t drawn it yet, it already looks very beautiful!”

"The richest man is a master after all. How could his paintings not be beautiful? I see that the works of several other teachers are getting better and better!"

"Yes, the work is starting to take shape!"

"It may take until the afternoon or even evening to see the real difference!"

"No matter what the rich man's achievements are, he can paint Lishan. As a Qizhou native and an audience of "Lishan Xing", I really couldn't help but shed a little tears!"

Qizhou people were very moved!

Qinzhou people are also very emotional!

Lin Zhibai seemed to have some feelings for Qizhou, otherwise he would not have chosen Lishan as the subject of his painting.

…

Because the painting time is too long, it takes a lot of effort from the host.

In order to create more topics, the organizer arranged two hosts for this project.

One of them, Ken Watanabe, is a professional painter from Chuzhou with a master level. He participated in the competition last year.

The other one is a host who knows a lot about painting.

The two chatted while watching the game.

Moderator: "Teacher Ken Watanabe, who is the best painter currently?"

Watanabe Ken: "It's too early to evaluate now, because they were basically busy laying out the frame for the first few hours. The final level of the painting depends on their processing at each step, but from now on it will be presented Judging from the results, it is obvious that Teacher Ling's landscape paintings are the best. You can see that the layers are already very rich. Then Teacher Huang An's paintings are also good. They all used color, maybe because they considered the audience's appreciation threshold. Well, don’t just use black and white..."

that's all.

Ken Watanabe commented one by one.

When the lens of Lin Zhibai was switched to, Watanabe Ken's voice suddenly paused, and then made a "hiss" sound.

"Why?"

The host also typed the word "Hey", as if there was something special about Lin Zhibai's paintings.

In fact, there is something special about it.

Because Lin Zhibai moved too fast!

Most painters move very slowly!

Because if the ink painting is not handled properly, the piece will rot.

It's not like a pencil, if you can't draw well, you can erase it and start over again, so other painters are careful every time they draw...

Even if it looks cool, it must not be fast!

Unlike Lin Zhibai, every stroke was done without any temptation, as if he knew that he was the final result!

Exactly.

Lin Zhibai really didn't make a single mistake, and every stroke he made was effective!

Although it is not the final effect, it is obvious that he is in control of every step!

"So smooth!"

The host couldn't help but sigh: "I even feel that Lin Zhibai's movements are smoother than Teacher Ling Tian!"

"Take the feeling away."

Ken Watanabe's eyes were a bit strange: "In terms of smoothness, Lin Zhibai is the best in the game. His pen is so stable and his pen control level is definitely the best in the world!"

Pen control level?

The host's eyes lit up, "Teacher Watanabe Ken, do you think this is because Lin Zhibai is the best calligrapher, and he can control this kind of brush at will, so..."

"That's probably what it means."

Both painting and calligraphy rely on one's control of the pen.

Lin Zhibai is the god of calligraphy. His pen can be used as flexibly as his arms, so there is no such thing as a mistake.

"Then will Lin Zhibai win the championship?"

The host couldn't help but tell a possibility that made all the viewers' hearts beat faster.

"Ah."

Watanabe Ken said with a smile: "Who told you that if you draw fast, what you draw must be the best in the world. Lin Zhibai has a silky control of the brush, but what he drew in the end..."

Sudden.

Watanabe Ken's voice paused.

The host was wondering why you didn't continue talking. When he looked up at the big screen, he couldn't help but exclaimed!

"so beautiful!"

It turns out that Lin Zhibai started to deal with color and layering, which means that his paintings have begun to process three-dimensional effects.

This is called light and shade processing in sketching. This is not the case in ink painting, but the meaning is quite the same.

Many people should know that once the contrast between light and dark is added to a sketch, the three-dimensional effect will appear. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the drawing is, it will just be a flat plan with neat lines.

No gut taste.

Now Lin Zhibai feels the same after doing similar processing on ink paintings, and the effect is coming out bit by bit!

Although no one knows what the final effect will be, the little effect he has made now is already stunning in the eyes of the host!

No wonder Watanabe Ken was suddenly silent!

After being silent for several seconds, Watanabe Ken followed the host's words of "so beautiful" and spoke:

"very scary……"
