Chapter 292 Two Companies Confronting Each Other

What? The training camp actually uses Hui ink?

Netizens stared at the screen, as if they wanted to stick their heads in to get a clearer look.

[Is this ink stick with dragons and phoenixes carved on it the Huizhou ink? It looks similar to the ink sticks you buy at stationery stores, except that the patterns are a bit more complicated.]

[Brother, this is Hui ink! How dare you say it is only a little more complicated?! I searched on Baidu, and found that Hui ink has the characteristics of being as smooth as lacquer on paper, having a dark and moist color, not fading over time, not sticking to paper and pen, and having a rich and smooth texture. It was the ink specially presented to the royal family in the past, and the production process is complicated and not easy to obtain...]

[There are many varieties of Hui ink, mainly lacquer smoke, oil smoke, pine smoke, etc. I saw the Hui ink packaging they were holding, it was high-grade lacquer smoke ink! To make one of these, you need to use tung oil smoke, musk, borneol, gold foil, pearl powder, and other materials. ]

[I know about musk, but it's super expensive! Although I know that celebrities are rich, they put so much effort into the training camp, even the ink for calligraphy is a high-end brand... If the artists don't practice well, won't they be embarrassed? ]

As the saying goes, poor students have more stationery!

The more time they spend on writing, painting, and writing brushes to create hype, the more they want to become famous.

The starting point is so high. When the popularity rises, if the artists cannot keep up with the learning, wouldn’t it be a joke on the live broadcast?

Many netizens seem to be enjoying the fun!

There are also some people who open two live broadcasts of Youku, and send barrages back and forth in the two live broadcast rooms of Zhongxing and Xiangtian.

[Where is the progress? Have you distributed all the stationery? Is it time to invite the teacher? I see Xiangtian is already introducing the great achievements of teacher Zhang Guowen. We are about to see his true face! ]

After everyone distributed their food, they sat down at their seats.

Director Tang didn't come today. It was the big boss Jiang Chuan Ning who came.

He smiled gently as always, his expression of amusement hidden deep in his eyes.

"Welcome everyone to the Stars' training camp to study..."

Jiang Chuan Ning gave his opening remarks, and his eyes behind the lenses had a kind of sparkling shrewdness.

Although he was smiling, his attitude was cold and distant, as if he was not easy to approach.

Every time he spoke, he was very eye-catching. Every time we looked up at him, wanting to listen attentively, we were startled by his patrolling eyes like a class teacher, and dared not to look him in the eye for too long.

After finishing his opening remarks, Jiang Chuan Ning turned his gaze to the live camera.

It looked like the boss himself was here to watch the fun.

His tone was light, as if he was not paying attention. "By the way, last night I saw many netizens tag Zhongxing's official Weibo, saying that Tongxing Xiangtian Studio also invited a big name in the calligraphy world to teach live. I think such healthy competition is very conducive to promoting the positive development of the entertainment industry!"

After a pause, he continued, "The teacher invited by Zhongxing has also heard of the great name of Teacher Zhang Guowen for a long time. Today, I have specially arranged a projection screen. When our teacher teaches, we can watch Teacher Zhang from Xiangtian Studio teach at the same time! I hope that the ideas of the two different teachers can bring more learning experience to everyone present."

ha?!!

What?!!!

Not only did these words confuse the 23 artists, but even the netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly became silent? !

They seemed to have heard it wrong and were stunned for a full minute before they began to frantically refresh the comments.

[Holy crap? Is the big boss of the stars so tough? Isn't this just declaring war on the other party? ]

[It's so funny, Xiangtian was allowed to secretly invite Zhang Guowen, deliberately timed it to slap the stars in the face, but the stars were not allowed to refute it? ! ]

[Damn, Boss Jiang is really very emotionally intelligent! It was originally his own idea to attract fans by training in the Six Arts of a Gentleman, but Xiangtian invited the awesome Teacher Zhang without saying a word! For the top of this industry, unless the stars invite some hidden masters, they will be suppressed by Xiangtian! ]

【Hahaha, Boss Jiang directly said, let's watch Xiangtian's live broadcast together! I laughed my ass off! It was originally a competition between the two teams, but it became a friendly match! And no matter how the teachers of both sides teach? The stars have shown a humble attitude, so netizens can't find faults with them anymore, right?】

After all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you.

Jiang Chuan Ning's high emotional intelligence operation directly turned the PK into a competition. Who can still dare to criticize him?

As they were talking, a curtain slowly dropped from the beam in front of the shed. The staff fiddled with the remote control and actually brought out the live broadcast image of Xiangtian Studio.

Xiaoman, the host of Xiangtian, was wearing a cheongsam that outlined her slender figure. She was enthusiastically introducing teacher Zhang Guowen who had just appeared on stage to netizens.

Next to her, a white-haired old man in a Zhongshan suit stood straight in front of the camera. His eyes were bright and he didn't look like a man in his seventies at all. Instead, he looked like he had just turned sixty, with a feeling of being old but still strong.

There is a particularly large projection screen in front of Xiaoman, through which she can clearly see the comments posted by netizens.

At first, it was all welcome expressions of "pa pa pa", but towards the end of the introduction, the style suddenly changed.

[Anchor, do you know that the stars are also watching your Xiangtian live broadcast? 】

[I was dying of laughter. I originally wanted to watch the competition between you two, but Zhongxing immediately turned on the screen projection and watched your live broadcast room together. What should I do! I want to go to Zhongxing's place! After all, I can watch the two of you! ]

[That makes sense. We're all watching anyway. Here we have to split the screen to watch the stars' live broadcasts, but there we only need one screen to watch both sides. I'm going for it, sisters! ]

[Sisters, wait for me! ]

Before Xiaoman could figure out what was going on, she saw that the popularity of the live broadcast room suddenly dropped by tens of thousands.

The popularity on a certain fish platform is fake, unlike the big cat platform, where the popularity is determined by the number of people watching it!

When Zhang Guowen appeared, his popularity was already far ahead of the rest, reaching 700,000, which means there were at least 30,000 live viewers! Now that the number has dropped so much, does that mean that hundreds or even thousands of viewers are jumping from Xiangtian's live broadcast room to Zhongxing's live broadcast room?

Xiaoman kept her facial expression steady and continued with the process. When teacher Zhang Guowen started talking, she took the opportunity to leave the main camera to the teacher and hurriedly walked to the side to ask what was going on.

The little girl next to her was equally anxious. She explained the matter clearly in a few words, which stunned Xiaoman again.

Are the stars so magical?

Obviously, all the advantages were taken by Xiangtian! Their leader actually turned the tide with just a few words? !

My heart suddenly skipped a beat... Xiaoman suddenly felt that the strength of the stars should not be underestimated!

At this time, the director's voice came from the headset: "Xiao Man, the boss has ordered us to use screen projection to connect to the live broadcast room of the stars and continue to guide the topic to the PK between the two companies. We can't let them play any friendly matches."

What a friendly match!

When all the stars held a meeting to discuss the Six Arts of a Gentleman training, Xiangtian's cold planner was already on the lookout for top teachers in the country!

Xiangtian has developed well in recent years, and last year it also produced a top star, Si Younian, and the studio has risen in popularity. But in the end, it cannot be compared with Zhongxing, a long-established company with many years of history.

After the drug test, many artists from Zhongxing disappeared, and more artists switched to other companies, leaving only a very small number.

Xiangtian accepted several artists from all over the world.

Normally, it would take a long time to find someone! Now that he has come on his own, it is naturally a great honor for the studio.

Planner Leng had a very good relationship with a man named Chi Xianlin in this group. Through him, he learned a lot about the dynamics of the stars. He immediately decided to prepare a teacher, and when the stars started to promote their course learning plans, he would follow closely.

Originally they wanted to take advantage of the popularity, but when they found out that Zhongxing didn't hire anyone from those big guys' circles... Planner Leng became active again.

After all this time, the stars are still just making gimmicks!

By then, we can find some people from somewhere to teach them a lot, and netizens will praise us.

Isn’t it just taking advantage of the “positive guidance” in advance?

After all, ever since the drug tests, netizens’ attitude towards the stars has been nothing short of amazing!

Such overwhelming wealth cannot be enjoyed by one family alone! Planner Leng used his brains and decided to invite Zhang Guowen to compete with the stars at the right time. He wanted netizens to understand that the stars were just doing tricks to gain favor! Only Xiangtian Studio was doing this with all their heart.

Now the tide has turned, the director quickly contacted Leng Ce, who also reacted very quickly: "Don't worry, fight them! In the end, the stars will be the ones who get humiliated!"

After the director conveyed Leng Ce's idea, Xiaoman nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

So he straightened his clothes and stood on the stage again with a smile on his face.

"Teacher Zhang, we just got a piece of news that an entertainment company called Zhongxing is also holding a calligraphy teaching demonstration today. They heard of your name and turned on our screen in the live broadcast room, hoping to learn together. Since we are not a live broadcast platform, we can't connect, so we would like to ask for your opinion. Do you agree to let our screen be turned to Zhongxing's big screen so that we can learn together?"

This is a very clever statement. It seems like he is seeking the opinion of big boss Zhang Guowen, but in fact he is saying - the stars didn't even ask for our consent and directly moved our live broadcast over there, grabbing our fans like crazy!

Really...

Dirty business war!

Zhang Guowen doesn’t have as many thoughts as them!

After all, I am a master of my generation, and I am immersed in teaching calligraphy all day long, and my mind is relatively simple.

Whether it is in the classroom or in the recently popular live broadcast, as long as he can pick good students, he has no objection.

"OK."

As Teacher Zhang Guowen nodded, the projection screen in front of Xiaoman turned into the live broadcast screen of the stars.

Netizens had never seen such a scene before and they all exclaimed how cool it was.

[What kind of cool article is this? I love reading it! ]

【Fight, fight! 】

Teacher Zhang Guowen glanced at the screen for a few seconds, then suddenly took two steps forward and asked, "Hey, are they using Hui ink?"

Xiaoman listened to the director's instructions and said secretly, "Yes, the stars are very wealthy, and the tools they prepare for the artists are all the best."

Zhang Guowen nodded and commented: "Hui ink is known for its reputation of being light when picked up, clear when ground, fragrant when smelled, hard as jade, silent when ground, as white as lacquer, and lasting for thousands of years. There are not many workshops that still insist on using the ancient method to make Hui ink. The Hui ink they are holding is the Hui ink that Dexinzhai just released this year. It is really good for practicing calligraphy! The managers of Zhongxing are very attentive and they only find good things."

Xiaoman smiled softly: "Compared to that, what we prepared at Xiangtian is not that good..."

"You don't have to belittle yourself." Teacher Zhang Guowen didn't hear her sarcasm and advised, "When practicing calligraphy, it's about the heart, not the form. No matter how good the tools you use are, you can only write good works if your mind is calm!"

Xiaoman seemed to have learned something: "Thank you very much for your guidance, Mr. Zhang. I feel like I have been enlightened!"

But the audience didn't buy it.

[This female anchor is so good. Although it is true that the two companies are competing, every word she says is to guide Teacher Zhang Guowen, wanting the old man to criticize the stars for being flashy and superficial! I am speechless...]

[I don't mind Zhongxing Xiangtian engaging in business wars, but I do mind them dragging innocent people into it, okay? Teacher Zhang is a professor at Tsinghua University, and he has many students. He came to Xiangtian with the mentality of teaching and selecting good seedlings, but in the end he was taken advantage of.]

[Bullying an honest person! How annoying! ]

The comments were scrolling too fast, and Xiaoman took a quick look and saw only negative ones, which made her expression darken.

Zhang Guowen couldn't read the comments so fast, as all his attention was now attracted by what was happening in the live broadcast room of the stars.

"This paper... looks a bit like the sandalwood rice paper from Jingfangxuan..." He identified them one by one, his expression gradually changing from surprise to appreciation. "Yes, that's right, it's sandalwood rice paper... The inkstone is Shanlian's Guanshan inkstone, and the brush is Honghuting's small wolf hair brush..."

All are treasures!

Although the quality of the tools used in calligraphy practice is indeed not important, for those who love calligraphy and painting, the tools that suit them must be better!

Besides, they are very valuable. Even collecting one set normally costs thousands of dollars! Not to mention a full 24 sets!

Oh no, not only that! There is another set for the teachers right in front of the shed, but unfortunately the camera is a bit far away, so I can only vaguely see that it is a little different from the students', but I can't see it clearly.

This feeling is like a person who gambles on stones and sees the stone being put on the cutting machine and even hears the sound of the wheels, but he just doesn't lift his head to see what happens after being cut. It makes him scratch his head.

Xiaoman obviously felt that Teacher Zhang Guowen was a little curious, and she didn't dare to let him give all the topics to Zhongxing, so she quickly pulled it back and said, "After introducing Teacher Zhang, let's introduce today's students."

She extended her hand and made an invitation gesture: "Teacher Zhang, Xiangtian has selected three students with a basic knowledge of calligraphy, namely Si Younian, Chi Xianlin and Gongsun Ping."

After hearing this, Xiangtian’s live broadcast room became lively again.

[Wow, after three months, I finally see Younian again! ]

[Sisters, are you all here for Younian? Me too! Xiangtian has been hiding Si Younian too much lately. I heard that he was on the live broadcast, so I rushed here! ]
