The Great Sculptor

I spent an afternoon reading all the updated chapters in one go. The six words "If you are not crazy, you are not alive" crashed into my mind at lightning speed, making me feel like crying. The first time I saw the works of Melon Dada was when I was in high school. I watched "Soul Painter". At that time, I was crazy about the madness and genius of the artist described by Melon. After two years, Melon once again returns to the same type and style of work, writing about the protagonist of a talented artist. How can it not be exciting? In fact, when I first read the new book "The Great Sculptor", I was skeptical, thinking that because of the pressure of life, Melon began to copy his own achievements. But after actually reading it, I feel sorry for my previous judgment. I can responsibly say that "The Great Sculptor" and "The Soul Painter" will be two different works. The only similarity is that they both have a soul with strong vitality. The overall style of "Soul Painter" is relatively relaxed. The system exists as a kind of gift and adventure. Although it has subsequently brought various life-and-death adventures, it still lacks depth. The "Black Mirror" in "The Great Sculptor" bestows both gifts and costs on the protagonist Shawne, "a gift and a curse." It is a deal made between God and Xiao Ne, which materializes reputation, money, skills and inspiration. As reputation and money increase, skills will increase accordingly, but inspiration will become increasingly scarce. God is full of malevolence. He said to Xiaone, "It will be my highest joy that you fall into terror and despair and eventually become insane." For an artist, the loss of inspiration is a terrible but unavoidable thing. You know what perfect and great things are like. You spend your whole life chasing and imitating the images of your dreams, but you still can't touch the heels of genius. This kind of pain is especially unbearable for geniuses. You once had a different pair of eyes that could see things that others could not see, but as you grow older you watch those amazing pictures fly away, your imagination disappears, your creative ability is lost, the world fades little by little, and the colors cannot be grasped after passing through your fingers, turning into the most mediocre black, white and gray. You have seen the world you were supposed to be in, and watched Him close the door in front of you, and you cannot bear to stay in this mediocre world for a moment longer. You can only despicably copy your past self, and you know clearly that after you finish replicating the dream in your memory, you will have nothing. ——What a cruel and ruthless god, what a lingering omen of tragedy. I felt a kind of suffocation and bitterness like my chest being pressed into the deep sea, but I was also tightly entangled by the tentacles of words and dragged forward. I thought of Gao Fan's pain and madness when he couldn't draw the picture he wanted in "The Soul Painter", and I can foresee that this fate will be reflected again in this book. I began to chew the subsequent plot with a fearful and greedy attitude, because I believe that art requires pain, and pain also creates art. I saw Xiaone's obsession with sculpture, I saw Xiaone's talent in art, I saw Xiaone's enthusiasm for chasing God, and I saw Xiaone's piety towards creation. Every feature struck me. I could feel that this book possessed the soul of a wildly growing genius. It was the embodiment of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers". It was warm, vibrant, and arrogant, with a background of coldness. A good book can be like a painting. The writer uses his genius to describe his emotions, thoughts, inspirations and what he sees and hears to others, and pours down the strong soul touch with overwhelming force. My eyes followed Xiao Ne, and I saw him pursuing and looking directly at the indescribable evil gods, and carving them out in the form of sculptures. He must use marble, his skills must meet the requirements, and he must be able to control the work. For the perfection in his heart, he does not hesitate to borrow money from everywhere and overdraw his future. What is the significance of creating these works? The author does not deliberately emphasize these external objects. Fame and money are obtained by smooth sailing. They are rewards in the short term and hidden dangers in the long term. Why do you write this? Because creation itself is meaning. How cool it is to use your own genius to create a work that can be passed down to the world! After I embarked on the journey of writing, I struggled with endless mental internal friction, the pain that was difficult to tell others, and the torment of being destined not to be understood. Therefore, I can better understand the state of mind of art creators. I can understand Xiaone's desperateness, his piety, and his madness, because if I were given the opportunity to create a great work, I would feel that I would have no regrets even if I died tragically the day after it was completed. It is a pity that most of us are mediocre. We can only try our best to follow the framework of the predecessors' brushwork, color selection, and techniques. Even if we burn all our efforts, we still cannot create a work that can be called "great". From this perspective, Xiaone is lucky. At least "Black Mirror" allowed him to discover his genius at the best age and condense this fleeting inspiration into sculptures. No matter what the future holds! Like an epiphyllum, it only blooms for a moment, or a moth flies into the flame and carries out a grand explosion with life as the condiment. How many times do people have such dazzling opportunities in this life? As a Christian online novel, there is no doubt that the book involves supernatural forces and the Bureau of Investigation. Currently, there are also some strange events and evil gods. But in my opinion, the God in the book can be explained by "inspiration" or "perfect work in mind". Yes, every literary and artistic creator knows in his heart what the most perfect work of art and the most suitable way of expression should look like. Creation is the process of using techniques to express the perfection in his heart. It is only limited by his ability. Not all artists are lucky enough to perfectly reproduce what they want in their hearts. This is why Xiao Ne needs to improve his skills and adjust his various values ​​to the appropriate level before carving the "god". From "Soul Painter" to "The Great Sculptor", I have always had the feeling that artistic creation is a mantra left by ancient times and a ritual to communicate with the gods. A few highly inspired geniuses were inspired by the great being and used creative rituals to convey the revelations they received to the world. They are prophets, shamans, and we are apes in caves, reaching for the light they bring. This feeling is very strange, but I always speculate that Melon may have had a similar feeling. For some geniuses, creation is no longer a means of making profit, but more like a ceremony and a pilgrimage. By describing the revelations left by God in dreams, they try to please the indescribable god in order to obtain his favor and attention. The book "The Great Sculptor" is an excellent and refreshing article. It is easy to pretend, and the sense of gain and expectation are intertwined. It is skillful in reading and reading, and it reads smoothly and naturally without any discouragement. But this book is not just a cool article. I believe that people who have also experienced artistic creation can read more content from this book, and can be deeply moved like me. They can also see that its background is cold, deep, and hidden pain. It's like watching a giant creature in the deep sea. While marveling at its uncanny workmanship, you will inevitably fall into madness. Creation itself is a painful process, and geniuses will more easily feel the pain keenly. But this kind of pain is bright, which is different from a literary masterpiece of the same period that also attracted much attention. If that book is about a middle-aged literati who is unwilling to be ordinary, mediating in the world of love, then this book is about a young genius in full bloom, galloping in the realm of imagination. That one was realism, and this one definitely falls into the realm of romance. In contrast, I am more optimistic about this book, because people always have to abandon their complacency and have a big dream. With the author's appropriate use of writing, the despair and pain in the fateful curse actually form part of the vitality of the work, which is sad but not sad. I cried over it, not because I was sad, but because I was moved. Finally, respect creation, respect love, and respect madness. In the field of art, we are all ignorant children, devoutly pursuing the footsteps of God.

The reason why "Soul Painter" is unique among the online novels is not because of the painter, but because of the suspense.

Just handwrite according to your soul. Your writing style is really good. It's important to find your own way.

As for the plot of my mentor's life being exchanged, the conditions for activating the life exchange were not mentioned, and the required price was not mentioned. The plot said that an interaction point was needed to cause one party to rise and the other to fall. I thought it was a condition, but I didn't expect it to be an antidote. . . Although this Cthulhu-style novel requires some unknown elements to create a suspenseful effect, it is not done this way. There is also no point of interaction between the protagonist's death and the current development. The background setting organization feels like they are all foreigners, and their own country has no impact on strange events. They are all background versions. All in all, the current plot is not promising. Let's see how the author completes the current plot. For now, it feels very confusing. There is no obvious main line, I don't know the development of the story, and the plot is a mess. Let's wait and see

Fortunately, I watched it before. Let me see if I can briefly describe it here: First, I will describe the tragic situation of CEA, and then how NRO came in and its purpose. Later, in the CEA video conference, Luo Ning expressed Xiao Ne's point of view: "Level 10 carving should be based on God." As a result, there were idiots in CEA because the Battle of New York attracted the world's attention, and they accused Xiao Ne of whether he was from the NRO. Shen Xing ignored him and talked about NRO's three level 9 sculptures. Luo Ning communicated with Li Bu after the meeting, and Li Bu mocked CEA for not knowing how to train its own sculptors.

His master criticized the protagonist as being worthless, and as a result, his apprentice was replaced without even knowing it. The protagonist still needs to be rescued, and this country can't do it either. No one.

Emmm, the writing is good, but the characters are too stereotyped, especially the early villain Lu Fan who is not only stereotyped but also a bit intellectual... I hope the author can portray the characters more deeply in the future.

I have to say that reading this book was both a pleasure and a pain, probably because my moral values ​​are rather antique. However, there is no doubt that the protagonist is not inhuman. He is still a human being, but he can only feel the joy of creation. All I can say is that I wish the plot was more humane. Gone

There really is no harm if there is no comparison. For example, in a food article I read recently, the entire article did not write about the process of making food. It only wrote about how awesome the ingredients are, and everything about addiction and brilliance. It did not write about knife skills or ingredient handling, which truly reflect the chef's skills. I feel that all literature should be understood, whether it is cooking, singing, performing, etc., In the later period, it is not very important to cultivate immortality or go to the universe, but in the early stage, when you are still in the city, you need to shake up some of these professional knowledge.

As in the title, I am the one who is trembling all over, and becoming crazy and crazy is the description of the protagonist. Words have vitality, but they are rarely seen on the Internet, at least in my narrow reading scope. If we say that ordinary cool writing is like fresher air, being in it makes your body and mind happy. However, as time goes by and you get used to it, it becomes the most easily ignored thing, and it is nothing more than 'seen'. Starting from the soul painter, I knew I had found it, found the most suitable one? No, no, it attracted me. My body and mind couldn't stop sliding towards the center of this black hole called "art". Magnificent and gorgeous descriptions, magnificent and mysterious depictions, twisted and mysterious playing... These descriptions of vision, hearing, smell and even taste and feeling, this is probably the charm of words. It is like being transformed into an insignificant black spot on a piece of drawing paper, front and back, left and right, up and down, everything around the body. Wrapped in darkness that may be thick or light, little bits of light loomed, bringing a reassuring light, but also illuminating more and deeper darkness. Countless incomprehensible and incomprehensible things were displayed in more obscure and wonderful ways. The five senses were disordered, and the boundaries between reality and illusion were blurred. Dead objects showed the characteristics of living objects, but the characteristics of living objects were closer to dead objects. This sense of shock, powerlessness and despair made me deeply shudder. But it is beautiful. From the moment it is combined with art or interpreted as art itself, everything has a symbolic meaning and is infused with the most important soul. The power called emotion penetrates through the screen in a wonderfully slow gesture and penetrates into the depths of the soul. It is alive. When it calms down, it arbitrarily tears off the disguise, rudely gathers the fear, then squeezes and crushes it into powder.
