Chapter 594: Focus on Calligraphy
After such a careful analysis, some of Xia Chuan's more calm fans felt that they were being used as a gun by Xia Chuan, and they resolutely expressed their willingness to stop being his fans. So when Liu Man's fans increased rapidly due to her calligraphy video, Xia Chuan lost fans at the same speed. The loss was too fast, too severe, and too ugly. Xia Chuan had no choice but to ask his agent to contact the water army company and spend a lot of money to buy himself a large number of zombie fans, which was also a kind of psychological comfort.
Liu Lan had long forgotten about Xia Chuan. She herself had not expected that her attempt to help with the regular script class would cause such a big response on the Internet.
First of all, hundreds of people applied to add her on WeChat, and the red circles behind the new friends increased to 99+. She couldn’t keep up. Some of these people were students in her regular script class.
Like other teachers, Liu Lan left her WeChat ID and email address at the end of the PPT, saying that students can add her on WeChat or send her an email if they have any questions. The student who uploaded the calligraphy video remembered to block her contact information, but another student spread her WeChat within the school, causing many students who were not taking the elective regular script class and whom she did not know to add her WeChat.
She doesn't mind these things. Her WeChat is similar to the address book in her mobile phone. She doesn't post to Moments often, so it doesn't matter if she has more contacts.
With Liu Man's current online popularity, under normal circumstances, her number of Weibo fans increases at a rate of about 10,000 per day. If there are specific events, such as a video of her singing at a celebration concert being edited by Tao Zhiyao and posted online, or her song being pushed to the homepage of a music website, then her number of fans will surge, increasing by more than 100,000 in one day.
With more than 10 million fans, she actually doesn't care much about these numbers anymore. She is not as eager to increase the number of fans as when she first started to become an internet celebrity. She holds the idea of going with the flow and takes it as it comes. She doesn't force it and as long as she doesn't lose fans, it's fine.
However, the less you care, the more unexpected surprises you will get. After the calligraphy video went viral, her Weibo followers increased by more than two million within a day.
Many people left messages on her Weibo asking her questions about learning calligraphy, such as what kind of brush and paper should be bought for learning regular script; which font should children learn first for calligraphy; which regular script master's copybook is better for beginners...

Everyone seemed to treat her as a real regular script teacher, which really made her ashamed.
She quickly posted a Weibo to clarify the facts. "I'm very happy that everyone pays attention to me because of calligraphy, but I'm just a substitute teacher entrusted by my teacher. I'm a beginner of regular script like everyone else. Because I have a foundation in seal script, the regular script I write is readable, but I can't delve into it, and I'm not proficient in it. The content I explain is just the basics of what my teacher taught me. I'm like a setter. If you have any questions about regular script, you can leave a message directly on my teacher's Weibo @苏老头, but my teacher is in poor health and has been very busy with work recently, so he may not see your questions. Or you can leave a message on my Weibo, and I'll collect your questions, show them to my teacher, and then reply to them in one go."
Liu Lan's humility makes people who are not familiar with her feel good about her. There is a reason why she is so popular.
Liu Man also answered some common questions about calligraphy on Weibo, such as the choice of brush, ink, paper and inkstone, the posture for writing and the way to hold the brush.
Finally, she said on Weibo, "When practicing calligraphy, you must be calm and composed, start and finish well, and not be impatient or perfunctory. You cannot change the font style at will. Once you choose one, you must persevere and practice solid basic skills before considering learning other fonts."
"Many students have asked me if it is too late to start learning calligraphy now. I can tell you with certainty that it is never too late! As long as you persist, you will see the effect one day. In addition, I would like to recommend the Weibo of several calligraphy masters. They often share some of their calligraphy writing experience, which is based on experience and is very useful!"
Liu Lan recommended the judges she met at the calligraphy exhibition, including Cheng Zikun and Chen Jianqiu, and also wrote down the Weibo of Wu Qu and Zhou Budai, and indicated the fonts they are good at after each name. Zhou Budai and others were popular for a while when the calligraphy exhibition was held, but they were not Internet celebrities and did not have a hot spot that could continue to ferment. After the limelight passed, ordinary people would no longer pay special attention to this group of people except for true calligraphy enthusiasts.
Everyone believed Liu Lan's words without a doubt. Moreover, a quick search on the Internet showed that these people were all well-known and well-known figures in the calligraphy world. They should just pay attention to them!
Zhou Budai, who was far away in the ancient capital, found that his Weibo account, which had not been updated for a long time, suddenly began to gain followers. He easily found the source because the comments under his Weibo were all in the same format: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I was recommended by Liu Man."
