Jiang Xuesong gazed at Lin Chen's signature, "The top calligraphy masters have basically reached the realm of artistic conception."
"In the process of writing, they can integrate their own state of mind, thoughts, and emotions, and can inherit culture and spirit."
"Learning is endless. Some top masters throughout the ages believe that there should be other realms above artistic conception."
"The naming of this realm varies, but top masters have a relatively unified idea: calligraphy reaching such a realm can immerse ordinary people in it."
Chen Xinhan said in shock, "Are you saying that Master Lin Yu's calligraphy has already reached such a realm?"
Jiang Xuesong nodded slightly.
"Even the calligraphy of the Sage of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi, many ordinary people may find it just so-so after reading it."
"This character is different."
"Let yourself calm down and savor it carefully."
Chen Xinhan nodded.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down as much as possible.
Then he looked carefully at Lin Chen's signature.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Seven or eight seconds passed, and Chen Xinhan felt as if he was in a forest, and the trees in the forest were whispering.
He seemed to hear birds singing.
Jiang Xuesong did not immediately wake Chen Xinhan. Chen Xinhan woke up after being immersed in this state for a few minutes.
"Old Master Jiang, this—"
Chen Xinhan couldn't believe it.
Jiang Xuesong said, "I also have Master Lin Yu's signed book that you sent me before. Compare it with the previous one."
Jiang Xuesong took out the second book.
Chen Xinhan also stared at the signature with concentration, but this time he didn't feel anything after half a minute.
"Old Master Jiang, although this character is very good, it seems to lack some vitality compared to the one I just saw."
Chen Xinhan gave his conclusion.
Jiang Xuesong nodded: "This is the difference. This one only reached the artistic conception, and the new signature reached a higher realm."
Chen Xinhan: "Could it be that Master Lin Yu has made another breakthrough?"
Jiang Xuesong shook his head.
"Impossible."
"Master Lin Yu is likely playing with us. Reaching his level, he can control his level."
"The first book didn't reach the artistic conception, the second book reached the artistic conception, and the third book was above the artistic conception. How can it improve so quickly?"
Chen Xinhan nodded.
"Indeed, the publication time of the three books is not far apart."
Jiang Xuesong stared at Chen Xinhan: "Xiao Chen, I want to see Master Lin Yu, can you help me contact him?"
Chen Xinhan: "Old Master Jiang, I can help you contact him, but I don't know if Master Lin Yu will agree to see you. I don't have that much influence."
"Yes."
Jiang Xuesong nodded.
"Contact him tomorrow, don't disturb Master Lin Yu's rest, it's too late."
"This book—"
Chen Xinhan quickly said: "Old Master Jiang, this is a gift for you. It's not in those thousand signed books."
"Thank you."
Jiang Xuesong was overjoyed.
Chen Xinhan: "Old Master Jiang, there is a small problem. The previous signature was three thousand copies, but this time there are only one thousand copies. There are water armies on the Internet who are taking the rhythm to slander Master Lin Yu."
"Saying that he is floating after he became popular or something."
Jiang Xuesong glared: "How dare they. How can they slander a master like Master Lin Yu?"
"These thousand copies are more valuable than the previous ten thousand copies. The energy and spirit consumed are likely more!"
"Don't worry, I will contact some people to speak for him."
Chen Xinhan felt relieved.
"Old Master Jiang, I will go back first."
Chen Xinhan got up and said goodbye.
Jiang Xuesong went to the study and turned on the computer. He is old, but he can still use the computer.
Soon Jiang Xuesong found some things.
"Unreasonable."
Jiang Xuesong was very angry.
There are really many people on the Internet who slander Lin Chen, and many people go to Lin Chen's book review area to take the rhythm.
"Are there still a few people who haven't slept?"
Jiang Xuesong sent a message in the small group that he had spoken in before.
"Present!"
"Woken up by Lao Wang's phone call."
Soon the others responded.
It turned out that those who didn't make a sound all replied at this moment.
"Old Brother Jiang, what's the situation?"
Jiang Xuesong: "Unprecedented, and there may be no one to come after. Master Lin Yu's calligraphy has reached above the artistic conception."
The others in the group were shocked when they saw this.
"Old Brother Jiang, are you sure?"
"Brother Jiang, does such a realm really exist?"
Soon the group exploded.
Their average age is over seventy, but at this moment they are constantly sending messages. Some people can't type fast enough, so they send voice messages one by one.
Jiang Xuesong: "I'm sure."
"I have a book, you can come and appreciate it tomorrow."
"Everyone, someone hired a water army to slander Master Lin Yu. It is a shame for our calligraphy circle that Master Lin Yu is slandered."
"You all know what to do, right?"
Jiang Xuesong also directly sent a voice message because he couldn't type fast enough.
"Understood."
"Are we being bullied in the calligraphy circle?"
Everyone quickly took action.
They are all seventy or eighty years old, and they usually practice calligraphy to cultivate their morality. Their temperament is still relatively peaceful.
But at this moment, they are all very angry.
Master Lin Yu's level has reached above the artistic conception, a veritable leader in the calligraphy circle. If he is slandered by the water army, then what are they, ordinary calligraphy masters?
"DiDi!"
Jiang Xuesong and the others dialed one phone call after another.
They have a lot of contacts after decades. As calligraphy masters, they rarely use these contacts, but not using them does not mean they don't exist.
Many officials quickly took action.
The network monitoring department quickly determined that there was indeed a situation of hiring a water army.
In less than an hour, multiple official accounts spoke out overnight.
"It's over."
The guy who hired the water army turned pale.
His company bought a fairy tale story and printed a lot of it. It was selling well, but recently sales have plummeted.
He used such means because he couldn't beat him.
"Dong Dong!"
There was a knock on the door.
This person went to the door with a bitter face. He looked through the peephole, and outside were four handsome guys in uniforms.
"Liu Chunming, you are suspected of hiring a water army to slander others."
"Please come with us."
Soon this person was taken away.
More than one big shot spoke up, and his case will be treated as a typical case and will be dealt with severely.
Another place.
Wu Hao, the leader of the water army who organized this operation, was also arrested.
One night passed.
"DiDi!"
Lin Chen received a call from Chen Xinhan.
"President Lin, the problem has been solved."
"I went to see Old Master Jiang last night."
"Publisher Liu Chunming, who hired the water army, and Wu Hao, the leader of the water army, were arrested by the police overnight."
Chen Xinhan said happily.
Without the water army taking the rhythm, the situation has stabilized.
"Chief Editor Chen, don't disturb Old Master Jiang so late. If you sell less books, you sell less."
Chen Xinhan: "I originally planned to visit this morning, but Old Master Jiang saw the photo and asked me to go over overnight. Big Boss Lin Yu, Old Master Jiang said that your calligraphy is unprecedented."
"He wants to see you."
Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "Old Master Jiang is a senior, and he is very old. I will visit him if I have the opportunity."
Xu Mengyao's parents will be back next week.
At that time, he and Xu Mengyao will be much free.
