It was 20 12 years, and the premiere of Country Love 5 was held in Beijing. On behalf of several disciples, Xiao Shenyang presented a pair of exquisite paperweights to Zhao Benshan as a thank-you gift. When asked why he chose paperweight as a gift, Xiao Shenyang said, "My master's greatest hobby is writing, especially calligraphy. Writing more can relax muscles and promote blood circulation. I gave this paperweight mainly to ask Master to write more words for me. "
Later, Zhao Benshan said that in the most difficult times, he often wrote in brush strokes day and night. Sometimes when he can't sleep, he gets up for a walk, but when he gets to the desk, he stops and writes until dawn.
As soon as you write, you will write until dawn. It seems that calligraphy is very important to Zhao Benshan. He also has a heartfelt love for calligraphy. Perhaps, for Zhao Benshan, when he was practicing calligraphy, he didn't pursue what he would achieve in calligraphy art like a professional calligrapher. What he values is the traditional calligraphy art, which gives people spiritual nourishment and spiritual comfort.
Zhao Benshan has always been in awe of traditional culture. He often urges his disciples to study culture seriously on different occasions, and at the same time he is self-aware. He said that it is ok for people with low educational level to act in familiar fields, otherwise even the scripts in the field of making a living will be ugly.
Liu Shuangping, artistic director of Benshan Media, revealed that countless people invited Zhao Benshan to the dinner party to fight the landlord, but Zhao Benshan mostly declined. So, what is his main hobby in his spare time? Zhao Benshan said that he loves to practice calligraphy, and he hasn't been at the poker table for 20 years.
Zhao Benshan said, "Landlord fighting is very popular among people in Changsha, Wuhan and Chengdu. You can learn it quickly after observing it a few times. But I don't like that thing. Because of the delay in studying art, I spent most of my spare time practicing calligraphy at home during the Spring Festival Evening for more than 20 years. Practicing calligraphy almost every night, sometimes practicing calligraphy all night. "
Since 2008, Zhao Benshan's calligraphy works have been very expensive in the markets of Beijing, Shanghai and Liaoning. In 20 10, a work he wrote, Dragon Boat Dance, sold for 920,000 yuan. In 2009, a 264-word Heart Sutra, a birthday present given by Zhao Benshan to movie star Jackie Chan for his 60th birthday, was bought by a business owner at a charity auction.
According to some data, in the courtyard of Benshan Media, Zhao Benshan specially set aside a room to practice calligraphy for himself. During the rest time of preparing CCTV Spring Festival Evening sketches for many years, he also picked up a pen and practiced calligraphy every day. Zhao Benshan is away on business, and his assistants take Four Treasures of the Study with them. Even when filming a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in Shanghai, Zhao Benshan was still practicing calligraphy in the ward.
It seems that Zhao Benshan's passion for calligraphy has been passed down, influencing and inspiring his disciples. Liu and Zhao starred in TV series.
Song Xiaobao, one of Zhao Benshan's most admired disciples, has also been fascinated by calligraphy and painting in recent years. Once, a word was taken to a public auction, and the result was an auction of 80,000 yuan. In fact, it is not new for celebrities in the art circle to shoot high prices with calligraphy. For example, the famous writer Jia Pingwa once sold a painting for 6.5438+0.6 million yuan, and a calligraphy work "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" sold for 6.5438+0.6 million yuan. After the famous writer Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, a calligraphy work won 728,000 yuan.
In fact, among the actors, such as Sun Li, Zhang Tie-Lin, Tang Guoqiang and Yu Xia. Calligraphy is well written. It's good here, but for other actors, it's not compared with professional calligraphers. Calligraphy is no easier to become famous than acting. It's harder.
Besides hype, how to treat the value of celebrity calligraphy and painting? There is a saying that "words are important to people". That is to say, this person is very famous, has great achievements and contributions in a certain field, and has a lot of traffic, so his words also have certain value. For example, Ma Ji's handwriting, Xu's handwriting and so on, all have certain value. This value, and the value of the calligrapher's words, are two meanings.
So we can't say that Zhao Benshan's calligraphy is still worth so much money (except for some deliberate hype), but the words of some members and directors of the China Book Association are not worth so much money. These are two concepts, which cannot be compared or compared. Not in the wrong direction. This word is not that word.
Then, how to improve the level of calligraphy, in my opinion, is nothing more than six words, one is "vision", the other is "hard training" and the third is "understanding". This is the same as Wang Guowei's three realms of reading.
Last night, the west wind withered the trees, and I went up to the tall building alone and looked at the horizon. This is the first realm, which means that you must go to the ancient inscriptions, read more and learn more, and you will know what applause is. If you broaden your horizons, you will start from a high place.
I don't regret that my belt is getting wider and wider, which makes people haggard for Iraq. This is the second realm. It means that you have to work hard to practice calligraphy, and it is the same for any art category. The same is true of Zhao Benshan's short plays and TV dramas. It needs to be rehearsed, performed and revised repeatedly. It is said that sometimes I don't want to play and want to give up. But this time, it is the time when fine products are about to be produced.
In the crowd, I searched for her again and again in vain. When I suddenly turned my head, I found her there, dimly lit. This is the third realm. It means that after going through the first two realms, you will be suddenly enlightened. It turns out that calligraphy is so easy and simple, not so difficult, not to mention how unfathomable some fake calligraphy training institutions are.
Actually calligraphy is life. Keep your mind straight, and you will be able to write well if you are impeccable.
