Chapter 445: Come out, water tune singer!

Chapter 445 Come out, water tune singer!

I don’t know what kind of wine Qizhou is, but Lin Zhibai feels dizzy as soon as he drinks it, and the stamina is very strong, making him more and more dizzy.

  【The richest man’s drinking capacity is really average. 】

   【Haha, my face turned red after drinking, this is only a few cups. 】

  【It should be that you are not used to our Qizhou wine. 】

  【Don't get really drunk for a while. I don't want to get drunk at the poetry meeting. 】

  【Not everyone will act drunkenly when they are drunk. 】

  【This should be regarded as the only weakness exposed by the richest man since he participated in the recording of "Lishan Trip". 】

                   Must you really have no other weaknesses? You actually forcefully include poor drinking ability into it. 】

  【There is also a weakness, such as the average level of playing the guqin (dog head)】

  【The richest man is going to sleep! ? 】

The audience's eyes widened, and they saw that after Lin Zhibai finished drinking, he put his chin on his hand and closed his eyes to take a nap.

However, the literati around him chatted with each other and did not notice that Lin Zhibai was sleeping.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when Lin Zhibai was almost asleep on the table, that someone noticed something strange about him and started laughing.

 “I’m afraid Mr. Lin is too drunk.”

 “It took only three cups to be poured.”

“Mr. Lin is probably the first person to fall asleep at a poetry meeting.”

“Sleeping is nothing. The year before last, there was a drunken drunk at a poetry party?”

“When it comes to wine tasting, Mr. Lin wins too much.”

"makes sense."

Everyone was teasing him kindly, but no one went to wake up Lin Zhibai.

On the contrary, when Lin Zhibai heard someone reading his name, he opened his eyes slightly, his consciousness became much clearer, and he asked:

 “What are you calling me for?”

Someone joked: "Everyone just said that you fell asleep at the poetry meeting. You should also perform a show like Xinyi."

programme?

Lin Zhibai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, stood up and walked towards the guqin that had not been moved away, "Then I will also play a piece for everyone."

 “He was joking.”

Hu Wei smiled and said: "But since Mr. Xiaolin is so interested, we are all ears."

 Is this so?

Lin Zhibai didn't care either. He was already sitting in front of the guqin. At the same time, he calmly summoned the system to redeem related high-level performance skills.

Ding dong.

 Hong Kong: [Congratulations to the host for acquiring master-level guqin skills! 】

 Being able to reach the master level in any field can be said to be standing on the top of the pyramid. As the system beeped, one-fifth of Lin Zhibai's reputation was instantly consumed.

In fact, as long as Lin Zhibai doesn't waste money, with his current reputation, he can basically spend it all.

 As a result, this wave of events actually cost him one-fifth of his reputation, which shows how precious this "guqin master" is.

But Lin Zhibai thinks it’s worth it.

Because Lin Zhibai believes that "being able to play the guqin" can also give him a huge boost in his journey to become an intercontinental star!

 “Mr. Lin, which piece of music will you play today?”

 Some scholars asked Lin Zhibai, who was sitting in front of the guqin and had not made any movements.

Lin Zhibai felt the rich Guqin skills and related knowledge in his mind, showed a smile and said: "I will bring you an original Guqin song. Its name is "Three Plum Blossoms"."

 Personal originality?

Three Plum Blossom Alleys?

The literati at the scene were immediately aroused. They felt that Lin Zhibai may have realized that his technique of playing the guqin must be inferior to Xia Xinyi's, so he wanted to win people's approval through original creation.

 And this happens to be Lin Zhibai’s area of ​​expertise.

After all, Lin Zhibai now has a huge reputation in the Qizhou music scene.

For such a true master of music, since he dares to say that he is original, he must not be any worse.

Even Xia Xinyi was staring at Lin Zhibai, curious about what kind of guqin music he would create. You must know that Qizhou literati dare not say that everyone can play guqin, but at least most people can understand it. , and with a certain degree of appreciation, ordinary original music may not be heard by everyone here.

  【Oh haha. 】

  【Want to play the piano? 】

  【Who said the richest man is not good at Guqin? 】

  【Isn’t it time to play a song? 】

  【How is the technology of the richest man? He seems to know a little bit about it? 】

  【You can question the rich man's skill in playing the guqin, but you must not question the quality of the rich man's original work! 】

【That is required! 】

  【Is the new song list "Five Sons Dengke" a joke on you? 】

  【This name feels so elegant, 'Three Plum Blossom Lanes' sounds very classy. 】

 The audience is also interested.

 Of course I am mainly interested in Lin Zhibai’s personal original compositions.

In this atmosphere, Lin Zhibai plucked the strings. The piece he wanted to play had another name:

 Meihuayin.

 This is one of the top ten famous guqin pieces in China.

Of course the original author cannot be Lin Zhibai, but he can't give any other explanation.

It is said that "Three Songs of Plum Blossoms" was originally a flute piece composed by Huan Yi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was later adapted into a piece of qin music by Yan Shigu, a qin player of the Tang Dynasty, and has been passed down to this day. This piece is one of the best works that expresses plum blossoms among Chinese classical music. Widely circulated among the people, the whole song expresses the white and fragrant plum blossoms and the noble character of frost and snow. It is a Qin music full of the taste of ancient Chinese scholar-bureaucrats.

But there was no Jin and Tang Dynasties in Blue Star, so naturally there would be no such song.

The sound of the lyre, peaceful and upright, was flowing through Lin Zhibai's fingertips at this moment.

When everyone first heard Lin Zhibai’s performance, they didn’t feel that it was so amazing. They just felt that the melody was very comfortable to their ears, and they felt refreshed inexplicably—

All right.

 After all, "Three Plum Blossoms" has been evaluated by Chinese netizens as a great medicine for "electronic kidney replenishment".

It is said that listening to "Three Plum Blossoms" from 7 to 11 in the morning can unblock the kidney meridian. I don't know who started teaching it. Anyway, friends with kidney deficiency are all excited.

Lin Zhibai guessed:

Probably because of this piece of music, people will feel calm and even want to meditate after hearing it.

but…

As Lin Zhibai played, the eyes of the literati present gradually changed as they listened.

 After all, among so many people present, there are many masters of Guqin. As the saying goes, "As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether there is one or not."

Those who know the guqin can naturally see and hear Lin Zhibai's playing technique. It is obvious that he has reached the point of being extremely proficient and easy to pick up!

For example, in a typical Sanyin performance, Lin Zhibai did not press the strings with his left hand, but instead plucked the strings with his right hand. The open strings that popped up were as broad and solid as the earth, and the tone was deep and rich!

 There is a kind of silent shock!

Then Lin Zhibai's left hand gently touched the strings, and the music turned into standard overtones, as high and ethereal as the sky, and the tone was light, elegant and refreshing!

 As the music gradually reaches its climax.

Lin Zhibai's hand speed gradually increased.

Especially Lin Zhibai’s left hand, which is as flexible as a snake, using various pressing and sliding techniques!

Because the technique is rich enough, the sound of the piano in Lin Zhibai's performance is as delicate and touching as a human voice!

  In a trance.

People feel as if they are in early winter, with dark clouds and cold fog.

There are plum trees dimly visible, and plum blossoms flicker in and out. Sometimes the syllables are smooth and soothing, and sometimes they jump up and down. The sound they make is like the tinkling of a mountain spring, as light as the water splashing from a mountain stream, or as light as the wind blowing a copper bell. Crisp.

 It can be described as ups and downs!

In this harmonious contrast between movement and stillness, people seem to see the beauty of winter plum blossoms and smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised. It turned out that this was "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms"!

Although Lin Zhibai only played for about seven minutes, when he finished playing, Tianju was completely silent.

Everyone looked at Lin Zhibai stupidly, their eyes were not only shocked but also weird!

This Lin Zhibai, didn’t he say with certainty before that he only had a “little understanding” of the guqin?

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched slightly.

They are all showing the unity of heaven, earth and man. Can you tell me whose "someone knows" looks like this?

We don’t really understand the guqin, right?

When we can’t see how brilliant your playing technique is?

 What if we can’t hear how profound your guqin sound is?

Not to mention other people, even the two big guys Hu Wei and Shi Yun were dumbfounded at this time.

certainly.

 The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned!

However, the vast majority of the audience is not aware of how strong Lin Zhibai is.

 They just felt that the sluggish reactions of these scholars seemed to indicate that Lin Zhibai's performance was not simple.

Besides, this piece of music is really nice to listen to, and it has a special flavor in it, which makes everyone feel "unconscious".

As the old saying goes, "I didn't understand it, but I was shocked."

  【This is played very well! 】

【Why didn't this naturally full of civil and military officials say a word? 】

I thought that when the richest man said he knew a little bit, he meant that he was only at the entry level, but it seems that his proficiency in playing the guqin is particularly high, and his hands are flying like butterflies! 】

  【I feel like a snake. 】

I don’t know much about guqin. Can you tell me the level of this piece and what is the playing technique of the richest man? 】

  【Guqin professional, let me answer this question. The song "The Richest Man" is very good. As for the performance level, I can only say that heaven, earth and man are one. 】

  【What is this thing so mysterious? 】

  【It's not that mysterious, the unity of heaven, earth and man, in the professional field, refers to the perfect combination of scattered tones, overtones and portamento. 】

  【So the richest man is actually a master of Guqin! ? 】

Just when the audience was wondering, Hu Wei finally spoke. He suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Lin Zhibai and said:

 “Excessive modesty is pride.”

After a pause, Hu Wei said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Mr. Xiaolin, you don't even know the guqin at all. You are clearly teasing us. If you can only be said to know the guqin at your level, then I'm afraid not many people here would dare to say so." I understand the piano myself.”

beside.

Shi Yun, who had just recovered from the music, suddenly turned to look at a figure in the crowd and asked:

“Xinyi, how does it compare to you?”

Xia Xinyi looked at Lin Zhibai silently, and then said bitterly after a while:

 “How can a little girl compare with a guqin master?”

Someone said before that she was the best at Guqin among the literati present. Although Xia Xinyi didn't say anything, she was very proud of it in her heart.

Of course, my literary talents cannot be compared with Lin Zhibai. The other person is indeed the most talented person I have ever seen in my life.

 But only in the field of Guqin, Xia Xinyi felt that she would never be weaker than Lin Zhibai.

Even the reason why Xia Xinyi finally played a piece seriously despite her apparent reluctance just now was just to get Lin Zhibai's appreciation——

 It sounds a bit childish.

But isn’t everyone like this?

 In some situations, you will subconsciously want to show off yourself, not to show off, but purely to attract someone's attention.

It doesn’t mean that Xia Xinyi fell in love with Lin Zhibai, that’s not the case.

It's just that some favorable impressions are inevitable. A boy of his generation has incredible looks and a brilliant literary talent. It would be strange for any woman not to be moved by him after seeing him.

If it weren't for this reason, Xia Xinyi would not finish the performance and still want to get Lin Zhibai's evaluation.

 “At least when it comes to the guqin, you will definitely appreciate me.”

Xia Xinyi, who was thinking this way at the time, closed herself off after hearing Lin Zhibai play "Three Plum Blossoms" and felt like a clown.

 The gap between my Guqin skills and Lin Zhibai’s is really huge!

This is why Xia Xinyi is in a bitter mood at the moment. She feels that her unknown thoughts are somewhat "clown".

 As Xia Xinyi finished speaking.

Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room were immediately stunned!

  【I wipe! 】

  【What did Xia Xinyi say? 】

  【Lin Zhibai is a guqin master? 】

  【Is the co-authored master a Chinese cabbage! 】

  【How come Lin Zhibai has reached a master's level in painting and a master's level in Guqin! ? 】

  【Those who don’t know think that the master is so average! 】

There are only about a dozen people in Qizhou who can be called masters of painting. 】

The number of guqin masters should be about the same, so Lin Zhibai’s level is that of the group at the top of the pyramid! 】

  【Kneel down to the richest man! 】

 Almost everyone in Blue Star knows what the so-called "master" is.

 This is not the case with those in China who can even play with ink jetting and be called "calligraphy masters".

Those who can be called "masters" in Blue Star are all so powerful in that field that ordinary people need to look up to them.

 And Xia Xinyi is no longer an ordinary person.

 Her guqin skills have reached the professional level, and she can even win rankings in relevant top competitions.

 Even she said Lin Zhibai was a master——

If Xia Xinyi wasn't deliberately trying to flatter her opponent, then Lin Zhibai might actually be a guqin master! ?

 This is so crazy!

 Perhaps it’s really crazy, making everyone wonder if there’s something fishy going on here.

There are already a large number of viewers in the live broadcast room. They can't help but feel doubts in their hearts. They went to WeChat or even posted on the forum for consultation:

 “Has anyone watched "Mid-Autumn Poetry Club"?

“Can you tell me whether Lin Zhibai’s paintings are considered master-level?”

“There is also Lin Zhibai’s performance of “Three Plum Blossoms”. Is it really a master-level piano performance?”

 Online at this time.

 Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair has extremely high traffic!

 Because this poetry meeting was broadcast live to Qizhou, it can be called the number one event in the literary world at the moment!

In addition to the participation of Lin Zhibai, a popular guest from "Travel to Lishan Mountain", and the photographers arranged by the program team to take direct shots, the influence of this Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair has surpassed any previous one in Qizhou. Qizhou Poetry Conference.

So is the reason.

 Soon a real boss showed up.

This real boss's name is "Wang Lili", a guqin master from Qizhou, who has been certified by Weishu. He first said: "I don't know much about painting. It's difficult to comment on this. After all, every line is like a mountain."

 Subsequently.

Wang Lili commented on Lin Zhibai’s guqin skills.

"I just listened to the whole guqin performance of Mr. Lin. Let me tell you this, after playing the front part of Mr. Lin's "Plum Blossom Three Lanes" in the live broadcast, the whole guqin circle has been discussing it. This piece is absolutely extraordinary. It is extraordinary, no less than the famous songs of ancient times. As for Mr. Lin's playing skills, he is indeed at the master level. There is no need to have any doubt about this. Without the strength of a master, he would not be able to achieve the level of performance of his program group. "

And then.

 In the Qizhou painting circle, some big names have also stepped forward.

This painting master is called Lin Yuan. Judging from his surname, he is still from the same family as Lin Zhibai. At this time, he also posted an update saying:

"A friend just took a screenshot of Lin Zhibai's ink shrimp picture and showed it to me. Although I couldn't watch it live through the screen, it is indeed at the master level. Shi Yun was also present and admitted it personally. There is nothing to be confused about, there will always be some geniuses in this world who make their peers despair from time to time, and there is no doubt that Mr. Lin from Qinzhou is such a genius."

  Crash.

 As the popularity increases, more and more people in the painting circle, as well as big figures in the guqin circle, and even celebrities in the calligraphy circle, have joined the discussion on these topics and given their own opinions!

in.

There is a Qizhou calligraphy master named "Shi Mo" who posted this update:

"I attended the last Blue Star Charity Dinner, and I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Lin Zhibai compose "Lanting Preface" live. I was shocked at that time. Many friends said that his running script is the best in the world. But what I didn’t expect was that Mr. Lin’s regular script seemed to be at an extremely top level. Although it wasn’t clear from the show, he must be qualified to compete for the top spot in the world.”

 Post various questions below.

 In countless retweets.

 Almost everyone answered in the affirmative!

Both professionals and enthusiasts are answering those questions:

Lin Zhibai is a genuine guqin master and painting master!

As for Lin Zhibai’s calligraphy, he doesn’t even need more recognition. After all, his reputation as “the best in the world in cursive calligraphy” has spread to all continents with the end of the last charity dinner!

 Shuashuashua!

After celebrities in various major fields have left one after another, Weishu's hot search list has completely declined, with Lin Zhibai completing the top three!

 The most searched topic is #林智白 Painting Master#

 The second hotly searched topic is #林智白Guqinmaster#

The third most searched topic is #林智白梅花三面#

 Those who don’t know think this is in Qinzhou.

 After all, Lin Zhibai only had influence among the top three Bao Yuan searches in Qinzhou before.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhibai would have close influence in Qizhou without realizing it.

Despite the turmoil on the Internet, Tiantianju has returned to calm. Faced with Hu Wei's irritation, Lin Zhibai smiled and said:

 “I am a conservative person.”

 “Mr. Lin.”

Someone joked: "You are a conservative person in speaking, but you are not conservative at all in poetry and couplets. We have all heard about the couplet you wrote in the first pass of Dongting today, 'It's natural for guests to go up' You are a guest from heaven. Do you think you are an immortal by calling yourself a guest from heaven?"

 “How dare you?”

Lin Zhibai cupped his hands, thinking in his mind that he had been in the limelight enough, now he should really keep a low profile.

 After making up your mind.

Then let the group of people chat freely, while Lin Zhibai ate the mooncakes on the table with peace of mind. The five kernels tasted pretty good.

By the way, I need to sober up.

The wine was too strong, and Lin Zhibai was afraid of making a fool of himself.

This system is usually quite reliable, but there are no anti-hangover pills or any magical props that can make you drink more.

Lin Zhibai complained in his heart.

At this moment, Hu Wei looked out the window and suddenly said:

 “round.”

Following the direction of Hu Wei's line of sight, everyone looked out the window at the same time.

The windows of Tiantianju are large and low. After all, it is a building handed down from ancient times. After all the windows are opened, everyone can find the angle of viewing the Mid-Autumn Moon indoors. The moon at this time is just as Hu Wei said , already quite mellow.

 “Everyone.”

Shi Yun smiled and said: "Being in front of the flowers and under the moon always makes people most poetic. How about following the rules of previous years and each person writing a poem with the theme of Mid-Autumn Festival?"

 “I’ll tell you the truth.”

 Some literati said sheepishly: "I wrote it in advance just for this moment."

 Other literati laughed.

Who is not?

How many people can actually write a poem on the spot?

We all know that poems will inevitably be written about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Of course everyone will compose in advance, after all, this poetry meeting will be broadcast live to the whole Qizhou.

If the work you create is exciting enough, it will be able to show your face in front of countless Qizhou audiences.

Although Lin Zhibai didn't know that Qizhou's Mid-Autumn Festival poems would have such a process, he was not too surprised.

After all, it is a gathering of literati, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was specially chosen.

If we don’t arrange the creation of poems for the Mid-Autumn Festival, wouldn’t it be a waste of time, place, and people?

 The staff seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

After Shi Yun suggested it, he immediately removed the moon cakes and the like for everyone, and carefully prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones for the literati.

 Everyone was very interested and began to write directly with ink.

 Some people are pretending, as if they are thinking temporarily.

In fact, the vast majority of people have a draft in mind, but wouldn’t it be more elegant to show a temporary creation?

Lin Zhibai was not in a hurry to write.

Of course, I didn’t pretend to be deep in thought.

Although Lin Zhibai was indeed thinking seriously about an issue that he had considered before coming here:

 Which poem should you write about the Mid-Autumn Festival?

There are too many choices. Countless ancient poets in China have written related works.

but…

 As for the best choice, of course it has to be the famous "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" by Su Shi and Su Dongpo!

 This is a great move for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

 No, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival nuclear bomb!

On this occasion today, do you want to come up with this poem?

After pondering for about a minute, Lin Zhibai made up his mind. He dipped his pen in ink and casually wrote a piece of running script that made him famous.

 “Drinking happily in the Mid-Autumn Festival and getting drunk, I wrote this article while thinking about Qinzhou.”

Come out!

  water tune singer!
