Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 220 Light and Shadow Relationship and Perspective

Of course, Li Xin couldn't hide this narrow-mindedness from Li Shimin. But Li Shimin was just talking, he didn't really want to hit Li Xin, so he didn't say much, just rolled his eyes. For Li Xin's behavior of playing tricks on inexplicable details, he was really angry and funny.

While the big figures in the box were talking, the commotion below gradually subsided. The VIP seats on the second floor have already been seated, and the new customers who have entered the first floor have already allocated their seats. At this time, it is time for the good show to begin.

A small open space was left in the hall on the first floor earlier, and it has been transformed into a stage now, which is more complete than the crude stage used for practice in Li Xin's house. At least the curtains on both sides can be raised and lowered with ropes. The background board can also be easily switched with a rope during the performance. It can be easily removed and replaced when performing other plays in the future.

I also want to know that Li Xin is the only one in the whole Tang Dynasty who can produce such an exquisite design. After all, he is an engineering student, so it shouldn't be too easy to engage in such simple machinery, pulley blocks and so on.

As the hall on the first floor gradually quieted down, a soothing and melodious tune suddenly sounded on the stage, and the red curtain slowly opened, revealing the background board with the glittering lake scene behind it.

"This painting is extraordinary!" the knowledgeable among the audience couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.

"Indeed! It's as if you can walk in!" The other person is obviously not that expert, and can only make the most direct evaluation and praise from the visual effect.

For a while, many viewers began to discuss this painting as the background.

Needless to say, this painting uses some Western oil painting techniques, and the painting that is biased towards realism is of course also by Li Xin. To be precise, all the backgrounds of "Legend of the White Snake" were created by him. He never expected that his rough lighting and perspective skills would attract so many admiration. However, after thinking about it carefully, he understood. The perspective relationship of scenery was not systematically and comprehensively explained in the Western art world until the 15th century. With the current painting level of Tang Dynasty, Li Xin, who can express such skills, is not an exaggeration to be called "the god of painting".

Li Shimin was also attracted by the background painting at the back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave Li Xin a funny look: "The writing is like a dog crawling, but the painting is decent. Just this painting of yours, I am afraid that Yan Liben will Be willing to bow down."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Li Xin replied wiping away his sweat. He regretted drawing so seriously. But to be honest, if you ask him not to use the perspective and the relationship between light and shadow in later generations to draw pictures, he may not be able to draw at all. Because those skills have already penetrated into his bone marrow, even if he draws a few lines casually, he will instinctively draw them according to these rules.

This is the so-called "curse of knowledge" in later generations. Its specific meaning is that when you have mastered a certain skill or knowledge, you can't imagine what it would be like if you didn't know these things. Just think, who can successfully imagine and understand what it looks like when you can't add, subtract, multiply and divide?

Li Shimin knew that Li Xin liked low-key and clumsy peeing, so he didn't say much, but he had more expectations for this young man in his heart.

Li Xin, Li Xin, what kind of skills are you hiding that I haven't discovered? It's okay, I still have a lot of time to watch you.

Li Shimin thought so.

Li Xin's well-crafted background painting did not catch the audience's attention for too long, because the two beautiful women who appeared amidst the sound of music were obviously more likely to attract the audience's attention. One of these two women is wearing a white shirt and the other is wearing a green shirt, they are Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing. The audience had never seen this style of clothes before, and they all admired it. Some even half-jokingly said that the two on stage were fairies. To some extent, the images of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, the two fairies in "The Legend of the White Snake", seem to have no major problems if they are fairies.

"The clothes are really pretty." Empress Changsun said suddenly, "Who made them?"

Li Xin blinked, smiled wryly and said, "It was done by Weichen."

"Why do you even study women's clothes?" Empress Changsun glanced at Li Xin, her eyes full of puzzlement.

Li Xin didn't know how to explain it. In such an era of outdated concepts, Li Xin's identity as a tailor does give people a strong feeling of being unemployed, not to mention that he still makes women's clothes, which adds a few Very lewd impression.

"Weichen also went to study for this play." Li Xin tried hard to explain for himself.

Empress Changsun obviously didn't quite buy it. But at this moment, the two women on the stage below had already sang the song, so she didn't say much, but listened intently to the libretto. She was also very curious about what this so-called "drama" "Legend of the White Snake" was, and it was worth Li Xin asking Li Shimin to come and see it in person.
