The Rise of the European Emperor

This time to the Ming Dynasty, Marin attached great importance to it. The reason why I want to go out in person is mainly because my inner curiosity is too strong.

The Ming Dynasty was a legendary dynasty. Although it was completely blackened by the unreferenced history books that were harmoniously coordinated by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, it still could not stop the charm of the Ming Dynasty.

As a child, Marin liked to watch Lu Songxian's version of "The Swordsman", which tells the story of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it's not just arrogant, many martial arts films also have elements of the Ming Dynasty. For example, a bunch of classic martial arts films such as "Blood Sword" and "New Dragon Inn". There is also the famous movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", which seems to have elements of the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is said that the history of these martial arts dramas has been changed into a mess and cannot be referred to, it is undeniable that through these martial arts dramas, Marin developed a strong interest in history. It is these nonsense martial arts dramas dressed in the cloak of history that make a generation like Marin have an ancient costume plot since childhood, and then become interested in history. Even later, Marin University chose the unpopular major of history.

Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty in this era, there are too many celebrities. If nothing else, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao was definitely a famous figure in the Ming Dynasty. The nonsense life of this guy has been put on TV dramas many times. Although many of them were hacked by the Qing Dynasty and his cousin Jiajing, the common people couldn't help but like these gossips. Then, this product is the darling of later TV dramas, and it is difficult for Marin not to know him.

And Liu Jin, the great eunuch under Emperor Zhengde, is not weak at all. In the Ming Dynasty, there were several super eunuchs who could control the court. In the official history, this guy controls the government and plays with authority, and he is a master in politics. In the martial arts drama, Eunuch Liu is a ruthless martial arts master, and his team of Jinyiwei and Changfan are also strong in martial arts, and they are super villains.

How could Marin not want to watch these two famous people?

Moreover, Ma Lin also planned to bring court painters to paint the faces of Emperor Zhengde and the eunuch Liu Jin with more realistic oil paintings, and preserve them as precious historical images. Although the level of Chinese painting is also good, it only focuses on artistic conception, and the details are much worse than oil painting. The portraits of emperors handed down in later generations are not of great reference value. Because these portraits have little detail, they seem to be a little bit of a cookie-cutter feeling. Only such an ugly portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang can leave a deep impression on people. Other portraits of Ming Dynasty emperors seem to only remember wearing a dragon robe and wearing a beard... More details, no more...

Therefore, this time, Marin intends to bring powerful painters and use oil paintings to paint the portraits of the Zhengde Emperor, Liu Jin and other celebrities, and properly preserve them as precious historical materials for future generations. In this way, it can also provide the basis for the selection of actors for the foolish directors who make movies and TV in later generations.

To tell the truth, Marin really convinced those directors in his last life, and what actors did he choose. In the early years, it was fine. A few years before Marin Crossing, all of them chose fresh meat.

It's not that Marin has an opinion on Xiao Xianrou,

But, you are playing the role of a middle-aged man, why did you choose a little white face?

The most ridiculous thing is that 10 years later, many middle-aged people in historical dramas will have no beards... no beards... no beards... important things are said three times...

In ancient times, it was very rare for middle-aged people to have no beards. Moreover, without a beard will also be regarded as "no hair on the mouth, inability to do things well". It's okay to have no beard when you are young, but in middle age you will be suspected of being a eunuch without a beard!

Therefore, after seeing those so-called "historical dramas" in which all the men had no beards, Marin directly judged them as "eunuch dramas".

Think of the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Tang Guoqiang was also a little fresh meat at that time (called Butter Xiaosheng at that time), but he played Zhuge Liang, and he was also full of beards. Zhou Yu does not have a beard, but there are very few people without a beard in the whole play. That kind of historical drama is normal, and most of the men in the whole drama don't have beards, and they don't deserve the name "historical drama" at all. This is simply an idol drama in ancient costumes. Only in modern idol dramas, men will go bare-faced. Men in costume dramas don't have beards, either the director is a scumbag, or he deliberately spoofs like Yu's mother...

...

In addition to painting portraits of Emperor Zhengde and Liu Jin in oil paintings, Ma Lin also planned to leave oil paintings for important civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. For example, big bosses like cabinet ministers and so on must also paint oil paintings.

In order to draw realistically, it is obvious that high-level painters must be used. After all, not everyone can draw realistic portraits. Therefore, we need to find a high-level oil painting master and go to the Ming Dynasty with Marin.

Originally, Marin planned to take Da Vinci there. After all, Da Vinci is the top oil painting master. However, considering that Da Vinci is old, in his fifties, he may not be able to adapt to life at sea for a few months. If you accidentally die at sea, it will be a big loss. After all, the value of Leonardo da Vinci is not only painting, but also a science tycoon who has to train college students for himself.

Marin has been worrying about candidates. After all, it is not easy to find a young and high-level painter...

...

But by coincidence, one day, Marin went to Da Vinci's house to play and met a young great painter. Then, the young great painter was "kidnapped" by Marin...

Who is this young great painter? His name is Dürer, Albrecht Dürer, a young great painter who is only 38 years old!

"What, your name is Durer?" Marin stood up in shock after hearing that the young painter who visited Leonardo da Vinci reported himself.

Because, Marin has heard of Dürer's name in later generations!

Although Marin had little interest in European art history, he recited the names of many famous people and their works for the exam. For example, this Dürer is one of the great German painters.

Marin has seen Dürer's hands and feet in later generations. It is so realistic that Marin almost mistaken it for a black-and-white photo, which shows Dürer's great painting skills.

Moreover, there is a saying in later generations, that is - Durer is actually a weakened version of Da Vinci...

What does that mean? It is lost that in addition to being a great painter, like Leonardo da Vinci, he is also very talented in the fields of sculpture, mathematics, machinery, architecture and anatomy. Also, this guy is an alchemist...

However, his achievements cannot be compared with Da Vinci, and can only be regarded as a weakened version of Da Vinci. But history only remembers the best people or champions, so Dürer, the all-around big man, is not valued.

Moreover, the reason why Dürer is so versatile seems to be greatly influenced by Leonardo da Vinci. This product also studied in Italy and was greatly influenced by the Italian Renaissance.

The reason why he is so comprehensive seems to be because he worships Da Vinci and imitates Da Vinci... So, he is a fan of Da Vinci...

The idol is in Aurich, and Dürer, a fan of Da Vinci, naturally came to visit. When Marin saw him, it was actually Dürer's third visit to Leonardo.

...

Seeing such a talent, how could Marin let go. After listening to Leonardo da Vinci's explanation that he was talented in practical sciences such as mathematics, mechanics and alchemy, Marin's glasses were about to go out...

"You don't have to leave! Stay with me in the future!" Malin Qiang left Durer, who was planning to go back to Nuremberg...

Da Vinci watched this familiar scene and immediately persuaded Dürer not to resist. why? Because the consequence of resistance is to be knocked unconscious, and then continue to stay. For this, Da Vinci has a deep memory... Back then, when Marin said "stunned and taken away", it was Da Vinci's lingering nightmare...
