Chapter 837: The Grand Momentum of a Great Nation
In the program, Lin Fan came to the program site from the Palace Museum: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Fan, the guardian of national treasures... Now, let me open the legend of the previous life of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" for everyone."
Cheng Guohua's voice sounded off-screen: "The story takes place during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, who can be regarded as a rare artistic genius and all-rounder in Chinese history.
At that time, he selected an 18-year-old boy from among hundreds of painters in the painting academy, taught him painting skills personally, and ordered him to paint the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty within half a year...
A king who lost his country because of his artistic talent, a treacherous minister who was reviled by the world, and a young boy with mysterious talent, what kind of story will these three people tell? "
As Cheng Guohua finished speaking, the camera turned to the stage, revealing a classical desk already set up. An ancient pavilion scene also appeared on the large screen in the background, as if a stage play was about to be performed.
This lifted the spirits of the audience and they were looking forward to what was to come.
Grandpa Yu could no longer see the scene of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", so he had to sit back on the sofa reluctantly, adjusted his reading glasses on his face, and tried to see more clearly.
In the program, two actors have already gone on stage, playing the roles of Emperor Huizong of Song and the treacherous minister Cai Jing respectively, and discussed how to paint with the theme of "Returning Home with the Smell of Horse's Hooves Stepping on Flowers".
In the original version of "National Treasure" on Earth, because there was too little historical information left by Wang Ximeng to support the creation of a character, in this episode, the two characters, Song Huizong and Cai Jing, were mainly used to guide Wang Ximeng's painting.
The character of Wang Ximeng never officially appeared from beginning to end.
However, on Blue Star, Wang Ximeng's historical records are relatively complete. Although they are not long, they are about the length of an article in the "History of Song Dynasty", which is similar to the "Records of the Grand Historian" on Earth, about two hundred words, but they are enough.
Lin Fan plays Wang Ximeng.
Song Huizong valued Wang Ximeng's talent, so even though Wang Ximeng was lazy and even made various rude requests after receiving the painting assignment, Song Huizong still indulged Wang Ximeng.
This made the powerful official Cai Jing extremely jealous, and he would always try to flatter Wang Ximeng in front of Song Huizong.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Wang Ximeng wanted to use green and blue to paint landscapes?"
"What do you think, Grand Master?"
"I have a rough idea. Since ancient times, green has been used to highlight bright and luxurious appearances. Isn't it a bit vulgar to use it on mountains and rivers?"
Unexpectedly, Song Huizong supported Wang Ximeng: "I think that art does not need to be trapped."
"But I think Wang Ximeng lacks experience."
"But I think it's okay. What I value is his enthusiasm."
The king and his ministers exchanged words with each other, and the clash of acting skills between the two supporting actors showed the tense and urgent feeling to the fullest, which made the audience feel very excited.
The scene then changed and Wang Ximeng, played by Lin Fan, was painting.
The young eunuch who was in charge of serving Wang Ximeng came to him with a handful of precious minerals and told Wang Ximeng that Cai Jing had tried to deceive him again.
But Wang Ximeng didn't take this matter seriously at all. In the young man's eyes, there was only the unfinished "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
"Give me the ore now."
The boy took the precious mineral, cut it, smashed it, ground it into powder, and finally extracted the required color. Finally, he applied it to the scroll little by little, layer by layer.
The camera focused on Lin Fan's hands and pen, and the audience realized that Lin Fan was not pretending to paint, but was actually coloring a landscape painting! Grandpa Yu leaned in front of the TV again with his reading glasses, trying hard to see the picture shown in the close-up shot clearly.
Yu Mengmeng wanted to complain: Grandpa, you are presbyopic. The closer you get, the less clear you can see. But Yu Mengmeng didn't dare to do so, fearing that if she interrupted Grandpa's appreciation of the painting, Grandpa would break his legs.
Grandpa Yu looked at it for a long time and finally confirmed: "This is a new painting! Although it is a copy of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the brushstrokes are still different from the original, and they are also different from those machine-copied versions!"
Yu Mengmeng was stunned: "Grandpa, are you saying..."
On Chaobo, a comment suddenly popped up in the official account of the "National Treasure" program, and was quickly pushed to the top of the hot comments by others:
[Is it a human, a friend, or a dog: Damn! This is Lin Fan’s own copy of “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains”! ]
As soon as this hot comment came out, the audience who were watching the show and browsing Chaobo realized that the painting in Lin Fan’s hand was not a prop, or not just a prop prepared by the program team, but a copy of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by Lin Fan himself! Instantly, countless netizens and fans flocked to this hot comment and left a heated discussion:
[Time is like pig feed: My Brother Fan is amazing. Others only show off their painting skills when they go on TV shows, but Brother Fan actually painted a picture to use as a prop! ]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
【If you've had enough of wasting time, don't come back. I don't accept junk: Haven't you noticed that Wang Ximeng and Brother Fan are exactly the same? Both are so talented, both are so promising at a young age, and both are so lazy! In order to avoid working, he even dared to deal with the emperor's words. It's no doubt that I am Brother Fan, the real Fan! 】
[I miss you so much that my hands are cramping: So this is the downside of premiering on TV. If you want to post a comment, you have to go to Chaobo! I am dying of suffocation. I just have one thing to say: Brother Fan is awesome! Huaxia is awesome! ]
…
In the show, Lin Fan was still coloring the painting. Of course, under normal circumstances, after applying one layer of color, he needed to wait for the color to dry completely before applying the second layer.
But the show was so short-lived that it was impossible to wait for the colors to dry naturally, so after Lin Fan applied a layer of color, he moved to another table.
On the desk, a copy of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" that had been painted with a layer of color suddenly appeared in the camera!
"The second one!" the audience couldn't help but exclaimed.
However, that’s not all. After the second coloring, Lin Fan moved to the third, fourth, and even fifth painting!
Five copies! Lin Fan also added five layers of color to this painting! And each color had to go through repeated refinement day and night. Only such a sincere work of color could last for thousands of years without fading, and only then did the audience see "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"! At this moment, everyone's eyes were red, because they finally understood why "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was the best of green landscapes, and why it was the first cultural relic to appear in the "National Treasure" program.
Because it not only shows the meticulousness of the Chinese nation, but also shows the grand momentum of a great country.
At the same time, it can also travel through thousands of years, leading modern Chinese people to appreciate the Chinese history and culture thousands of years ago, witnessing the passage of thousands of years, and China will prosper forever!
