Chapter 368 Character Card Drawn by Master Su Dongpo

The battle between Su Chen and Shi Rang for the top spot on the creative charts has attracted much attention since the end of the United Music Festival.

After all, the two were evenly matched at the ceremony.

There is no fighting over winning or losing.

So fans all know that in the new year, these two bosses will definitely have a tough battle to determine the winner.

But no one expected that this battle would come so quickly.

And it happened under the circumstances of a strange combination of circumstances.

The creative team of Canghai Universal Pictures' "Flying Island" released the piano and lyric versions of "Castle in the Sky" and "Starry Sky" at the same time after repeated deliberations.

And explain it in the form of copywriting on the official Weibo.

"The action movie "Flying Island" is currently competing for a theme song. The creative team is having a hard time making a decision. We kindly ask our dear fans to listen and vote. We will select the one with the highest vote as the theme song for this animated movie..."

Music links and voting links are posted below the copy.

Su Chen and Shi Rang were not named in the copy.

This is also a sign of respect for the two of them.

However, "Flying Island" has already been promoted for three rounds, and the film is already well-known and influential in China, Yamato and Korea.

In addition, Canghai Universal Pictures already has many fans.

Therefore, as soon as Weibo was released, many fans immediately clicked in.

"It's actually a bidding war!"

"Hahaha, I haven't participated in such a big project for a long time. Let's do it!"

"Huh? The two songwriters competing for the song are actually Su Dad and Shi Rang!!"

"Damn it!!! The gods are fighting!"

"Smells gunpowder."

"Hahaha, the two big guys just met at the beginning of the new year!"

“‘Castle in the Sky’ and ‘Starry Sky’ both have piano and lyrics versions.”

News of Su Chen and Shi Rang's bid spread like wildfire.

Soon this Weibo post became a hot search topic.

Fans rushed to tell each other.

People came to listen to the music.

Not only fans, but also songwriters and singers in the circle are very interested in this duel and began to pay attention to these two works.

Li Zongsheng, Huang Wenshan and others happened to be drinking tea together. After seeing the news, they also started to listen to their music.

As a party involved, Shi Rang

I am even more concerned about Su Chen's song "City in the Sky".

Shi Rang was the first to click on the piano version of "Castle in the Sky".

The ethereal, soothing, slightly sad notes quietly flowed into his heart, allowing him to enjoy it.

Hmm... I can't describe it as stunning.

Instead, it played into his heart instantly.

He appreciates this kind of music very much.

But it wasn't enough to convince him.

Because compared with his "Starry Night", he thinks the two are on par. Regardless of the song itself or the beauty of the artistic conception created, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

It’s no wonder that the creative team of “Flying Island” couldn’t make a choice.

Then listen to the lyrics version!

Shi Rang clicked to play the lyrics version of "City in the Sky" with curiosity and exploration.

As soon as the music started playing, Shi Rang frowned instantly.

In his expectation, the prelude of the lyrics version of "City in the Sky" should be the sound of piano. However, to his surprise, Su Chen abandoned the piano and made a new arrangement for it.

Yi Shi lets his best and favorite violin enter the stage.

Cleaner and quieter than a piano.

The violin sounds more elegant and poignant.

The sad atmosphere deepened further.

The violin is joined by the cello, and the strings are interspersed with piano slides.

The appeal and completion of the prelude alone are not comparable to the piano version.

And such an arrangement!

It is obviously a challenge to Shi Rang's "symphonic" arrangement.

This time Shi Rang was amazed!

Even the fans feel the same way.

"I'll go!! After listening to the prelude of the lyrics version, I feel like the piano version is my younger brother!"

"Dad Su: The piano version is just for casual play. Well, do you understand the DEMO?"

"What a luxurious demo..."

"Hahaha, now Su Daddy's songs can be divided into perfunctory and serious versions."

"Even if it's a perfunctory version, it's still awesome!! It will bring down half of the music world when it's released."

"Why don't you say that Su Daddy is a god?"

Stunning! !

The intro and arrangement of the lyrics version are worthy of this adjective.

Shi Rang became more interested and continued to listen.

"The horizon shines brightly in the distance

It's because you're behind

A little light makes people miss you so much

it's because you're in it

Come on, let's go, stuff the bread, the knife and the lantern into the backpack

And the enthusiasm left by my father

The affection in mother’s eyes

The world keeps turning and you hide in it

Twinkling pupils, twinkling lights

The world keeps turning and you hide in it

Stay with us until the day we meet again."

The lyric version Su Chen asked his wife Shu Wan to sing and record.

Shu Wan has made every detail perfect.

As a brand new version, Su Chen divided the song into two parts. The first part is sung with lyrics, and the second part is just pure singing.

At first, Su Chen just wanted to give it a try.

But I didn’t expect the final result to be surprisingly good.

And the advantage of this is that the team of "Flying Island" can intercept the singing part later as an interlude.

Shi Rang felt agitated for a long time after hearing this.

For the piano version, he thinks the two's works are on par.

But the lyrics version, its arrangement, lyrics, and artistic conception are all superior to his "Starry Sky".

"Starry Sky" still uses piano as the main melody, so the arrangement complexity and completion are not as good as "Castle in the Sky".

Lyrics are not Shi Rang's strong point, slightly inferior to Su Chen.

What Shi Rang likes most is the last pure voice chant.

The lingering sound lingers in my ears after listening to it.

It lasts for a long time!

"I have no chance in this round..." Shi Rang sighed.

However, this does not mean that he admits that Su Chen is better than him. He thinks that he has lost a round here, and he must win a round next time.

It is just as Shi Rang expected.

After listening to "Castle in the Sky" and "Starry Sky", the fans gave the same feedback.

"The lyrics version of "Castle in the Sky" is really much better than "Starry Sky."

"Having said that, "Starry Sky" is still a top-level work."

"Shi Rang: I was careless! Su Chen actually changed the main instrument directly."

"Castle in the Sky" really moved and made me cry."

"Uh... am I the only one who likes the pure music piano version?"

"I've decided to learn the piano version today."

The votes for the two works rose rapidly.

At the beginning, the two were evenly matched.

But as time went on, "Castle in the Sky" gradually widened the gap.

On major music platforms, these two works also began to dominate the charts, and at the beginning, the two were also alternating on the charts.

Later, they gradually stabilized.

The rankings of Su Chen and Shi Rang on the Creation Chart did not change.

But it can be seen that Su Chen's influence value has shrunk a lot.

"The road to the New Year's chart-topping has already begun!"

"He has defeated the highest peak of the three peaks at the beginning! Su Dad is also awesome."

"Wait for Su Dad to be on the top of the list."

"I think Su Dad will not only be on the top of the list this year, but will also raise the Chinese music scene to the position of the Asian hegemon."

"Too awesome!! He has single-handedly raised the style and level of the entire Chinese music scene."

The competition between Su Chen and Shi Rang is very crucial.

Because it is related to the status of the Chinese music scene and the Yamato music scene in Asia and even in the world music scene.

It cannot be sloppy.

Therefore, Su Chen and Shi Rang attach great importance to it.

What the creative team of "Flying Island" did not expect was that when they conducted such a "bidding vote", the two songs became popular, and the movie "Flying Island" also became a hot search.

It took advantage of a wave of hot searches.

It was a free promotion.

Therefore, when tickets can be booked, the pre-sale box office of "Flying Island" is extremely popular.

"I went to see the 100-minute MV of "Castle in the Sky."

"Hahaha, I went there to listen to the music, too."

"Watch the MV +1"

The movie hasn't even aired yet, but the term "MV" has become popular.

This made the creative team of "Flying Island" laugh and cry.

But it was also because of this that Su Chen was valued by Canghai Universal Pictures, because they found that as long as Su Chen wrote songs for the movie!

It would be a hit!

The rapid development of Starlight Pictures made Universal Pictures feel a sense of crisis.

Therefore, the company's top management almost reached a consensus that in the future, they would ask Su Chen to help write theme songs for movies and TV shows as much as possible.

This might also be able to snipe Starlight Pictures.

But what they didn't know was that

Su Chen was actually the boss behind Starlight Pictures.

The song "Castle in the Sky" was talked about with great relish, and the piano music was used as background music when people were working and doing homework.

"This is my favorite piano piece, bar none."

"I still prefer "Canon""

"I played this piece on repeat for a whole day while doing homework on the weekend."

"Love it!!"

"Wow, dad Su, please write more piano pieces like this."

Su Chen receives all kinds of private messages from fans every day.

He reads them all.

But he only replies occasionally.

After all, human energy is limited.

"Water Margin" has been updated all the time.

Lu Zhishen makes trouble in Mount Wutai, "drunk and beats the mountain gate". This is a very famous plot in "Water Margin".

It has been changed into Kunqu Opera, Shao Opera, Henan Opera, Qinqiang Opera, Peking Opera...

It is widely circulated.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", this play was ordered on Xue Baochai's birthday.

After "drunk and beats the mountain gate", Lu Zhishen could no longer stay in Mount Wutai, and the abbot wrote him a letter of introduction, asking him to go to Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo to seek refuge with Zen Master Zhiqing.

Of course, readers have both praise and criticism for Lu Zhishen after this plot.

Some people say that he is pitiful and was calculated by others.

Some people say that he is a reckless drunkard!

Bad drinking habits.

"This story tells us not to drink with people who have bad drinking habits."

"Destroyer!"

"I can see that Lu Zhishen really has some Buddhist nature."

"He has such a personality... Well, I can only say that personality determines destiny."

Before Lu Zhishen left Mount Wutai, the abbot also gave Lu Zhishen four mantras.

In the subsequent plot, there are four more sentences that hint and summarize Lu Zhishen's fate.

"Rise when you meet the forest, get rich when you meet the mountain, prosper when you meet the water, and stop when you meet the river."

"Catch in summer, hold in December, round when you listen to the tide, and quiet when you see the letter."

Wild Boar Forest, Erlong Mountain, Liangshan Marsh, Qiantang River... all of these sentences are fulfilled.

Of course, this is all later.

After Lu Zhishen left Wenshu Temple in Mount Wutai, he went to Daxiangguo Temple. Passing Taohua Village and Waguan Temple, he had several adventures.

After arriving at Daxiangguo Temple, Lu Zhishen was sent to guard the vegetable garden.

It was settled.

On the first day, he met "Zhang San Li Si" and others who wanted to give Lu Zhishen a warning, but he was severely taught a lesson by Lu Zhishen.

In this way, Lu Zhishen accepted a group of younger brothers.

The next day, the younger brothers brought wine to honor Lu Zhishen. Although Lu Zhishen knew that drinking would harm him deeply, he couldn't help it when he saw and smelled the wine.

So he started drinking again.

When drinking, the crows on the tree made people upset.

Lu Zhishen performed a scene of pulling out a willow tree.

After that, he met Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 imperial army in "Water Margin". Lin Chong's wife was molested, which also paved the way for Lin Chong's later experience.

Lu Zhishen originally planned to stand up for Lin Chong, but was stopped by Lin Chong.

Lin Chong said: "I'm not afraid of officials, I'm only afraid of being controlled!"

So he endured it.

But Lin Chong's repeated forbearance led to the tragedy later.

Lin Chong, Lin Chong!

He failed because of the word forbearance.

He endured it for a lifetime.

After that, he was exiled to Cangzhou, and the snowy mountain temple, etc., which are all well-known to everyone, so I won't mention them again.

Readers will find that the story is more exciting and the characterization is wonderful.

Whether it is Lu Zhishen or Lin Chong, they all have a helpless and tragic color. Maybe this is the era and society.

They have a heroic spirit.

But they also live in the dire straits of society in the great era.

There are human relationships, injustice, and cannibalism...

Maybe!

It is because of the wonderful description of these little heroes that this "Water Margin" has become one of the four great masterpieces.

"I like Master Lu! No one can stop me!"

"Fuck! Pulling out a weeping willow! Wherever Master Lu goes, it's a famous scene."

"Don't drink? I'll never not drink in this life!"

"True nature."

"Lin Chong is very aggrieved... His wife is being teased! Just do it! Why think so much?"

"Lin Chong is so miserable! Gao Qiu is probably the big boss."

The readers couldn't stop.

And it was at this time that Deputy Editor-in-Chief Qinglong sent an email to Su Chen.

The email contained character cards designed by Pangu Chinese for Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and other characters, which were used for operation and promotion, and asked Su Chen for his opinion.

Su Chen looked at the cards and found that they were all made in a cartoon style.

Su Chen didn't think it was very good.

There was no feeling of a green forest hero.

There was no feeling of all villains.

So Su Chen personally took charge and re-drew the character cards according to the "all villains" at the end of "Water Margin" in his memory.

Then he packed them and sent them to Qinglong.

When Qinglong saw the painting technique, how could an ordinary painter draw this?

The description in the article was restored one to one.

It was lifelike.

And this technique was obviously drawn by a painter with profound background.

"Teacher Elbow, did you draw this yourself?" Qinglong asked in surprise.

"No." Su Chen denied.

He wanted to say that it was drawn by Li Xianyu, but after thinking about it, he was going to draw a long scroll of 108 heroes later to make a small profit.

So he said: "It was drawn by my friend Mr. Su Dongpo."

"Mr. Su Dongpo?" Qinglong felt numb all over, "Mr. Su Dongpo... is he also your friend?"

"Yes." Su Chen said, "Keep it a secret for me."

Su Chen did not notice the word "also".

Qinglong knew the true identity of the big pig's hoof.

Su Chen often said that the big pig's hoof was his friend, the squid was his friend, and Andersen was his friend...

To be honest, Qinglong was numb.

Because after he exposed the identity of his friend, Big Pig Hoof, he suspected that all his friends were Su Chen himself.

And now there is another friend who is a master of Chinese painting...

Could it be him too?

So how wide is his skill tree?

It's incredible!

Qinglong didn't ask any more questions.

After receiving the card, considering that it was designed by the master of Chinese painting Su Dongpo, he specially made a virtual seal of Su Dongpo to print it on it to ensure the copyright of the card.

Then Qinglong uploaded the character card of "Water Margin" from the editing background!

Readers came in to like, reward, and comment when they saw the character.

When they saw the virtual seal of Su Dongpo, the whole network exploded!

"Master of Chinese painting Mr. Su Dongpo is also a reader of Big Pig Hoof? He also designed and drew the character card himself?"

"Card face!!"

"What kind of immortal reader is this?"

"The most generous reader in history has appeared!"

Readers are crazy.

Because as a master of Chinese painting, Su Dongpo could easily sell a character card like this for millions or even tens of millions if it were auctioned.

And!

This is just a character card from "Water Margin"!

How extravagant!
