Han Jianhua's loss of composure was entirely due to Wang Tianfeng opening the gift Su Yu had given him.
This time, Su Yu had indeed put his heart into it; he had imitated Xu Beihong's "Galloping Horses" to paint a Su Yu version of "Eight Steeds" for Wang Tianfeng.
Xu Beihong never painted "Eight Steeds"; the largest one he painted was "Six Steeds," which is now housed in the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall.
This was stated personally by Xu Beihong's grandson and is verifiable.
However, there is no Xu Beihong on Blue Star, and even less so an "Eight Steeds."
So, when Wang Tianfeng, Han Jianhua, and the others saw this vivid "Eight Steeds," one can imagine how shocked they were.
What made Han Jianhua most envious was that Su Yu had even inscribed a poem in wild cursive script!
"Eight steeds gallop furiously to the west, the great river roars, the sky low over Chu. Waves crush and mighty power rises, endless elegance in their hooves."
This is "Fu Ren's" "Poem on Eight Steeds," but who "Fu Ren" was and from what era is no longer traceable.
However, Su Yu felt that the exaggerated expressive technique of this poem was very suitable for his "Eight Steeds," so he inscribed it casually.
At this time, Su Yu, Li Xing, and the others also walked over upon hearing the commotion.
The result was that after seeing this painting, their eyes all widened, and they stood there dumbfounded.
Even those who don't understand art would feel a sense of awe after seeing this painting.
After all, the eight steeds in the painting were too lifelike, as if they were about to burst out of the paper at any moment.
"Little, Little Yu, can Uncle Li celebrate his birthday early?" Li Xing swallowed hard, asking somewhat shamelessly.
Good heavens, upon hearing Li Xing's words, not only was Su Yu speechless, but Han Jianhua and the others all rolled their eyes in unison.
You truly are a big clever one!
"That's enough, don't ruin my treasure!"
Wang Tianfeng carefully put the painting away after speaking, completely ignoring the reluctant and extremely resentful gazes of the others.
He intended to find someone to carefully mount and frame the painting, and even planned to buy a large insurance policy for it.
Because he felt this painting was completely worth doing so! It wouldn't even be excessive to collect it as a family heirloom.
After all, with Su Yu's talent and gift in poetry and painting, everyone could see that these works would undoubtedly be highly sought after and popular in the future.
Even if Su Yu's skill improved later, his early works would still be extremely valuable.
Wang Tianfeng's birthday banquet didn't end until late at night, and during the banquet, Old Wang, Old Li, and Old Han all got drunk.
Su Yu, on the other hand, was pulled aside by Jiang Yu and chatted about literature for a long time.
After the last Yanjing University literary exchange meeting, Su Yu had made a name for himself in the literary circles.
Especially Su Yu's poems and paintings also began to gradually circulate among the literati.
Jiang Yu sought out Su Yu tonight because she actually wanted to invite him to give a public lecture at Yanjing University.
After all, in terms of literary atmosphere, Yanjing University is the best in China.
This made the teachers and students there even more eager to witness Su Yu's literary talent.
Su Yu also felt a headache, a public lecture? What would he talk about?
Should he pretend to be awesome and instantly spout three hundred Tang and Song poems, directly shocking the world? Overthrowing the poetry and ci circles?
Or should he paint a few pieces in public to prove his painting skills?
Don't be silly, Su Yu had no such elegant leisure.
His identity was still a student in the Composition Department of Yan Music; if he were to give a public lecture to people at Yanjing University, God knows how many people would verbally attack him!
So, it's better to avoid trouble if possible.
When Su Yu returned home, it was already midnight on the 12th; after washing up, he checked the box office situation for the second day of "my old classmate."
148 million!
As expected, on Singles' Day, the movie's single-day box office exploded again.
Along with it, Su Yu's song "my old classmate" also exploded.
This was a two-way rush between the movie and the song, and it succeeded.
At this point, the song had already surged into the top ten of the November New Song Chart with a strange increase, temporarily ranking ninth.
And "left finger pointing to the moon" was ranked tenth, becoming the new doorman.
The original doorman, "guest," had now fallen to the thirteenth position.
Na La's "Mountain" had surged to twelfth place.
Similarly, Luren Jia's song "gentleman" also rushed to fifteenth place, and it seemed there was still room for improvement in its ranking.
And the fact that the top song on the November New Song Chart was still Su Yu's song was now completely without suspense.
This made some people vaguely sense that something unusual was happening!
Because Su Yu had already held the top spot for four consecutive months starting from July, plus this certain November, that would make it five consecutive championships.
No matter how slow their reactions were, they had figured out what Su Yu was going to do!
So, on the morning of the 12th, Su Yu, who had done nothing, was simply pushed to the top of Tribe's trending topics today.
And the headline of the trending topic was prominently #Su Yu's Ambition, Twelve Consecutive Championships in the Season Chart!#
Now, any news related to Su Yu naturally generated a lot of buzz.
And when this news was released and then analyzed reasonably, the popularity directly exploded.
As soon as Su Yu got up, he heard a knock on the door, and the person outside was, of course, Han Jiangxue.
At this moment, Han Jiangxue had just finished her run, holding her phone, and the interface prominently displayed today's Tribe headlines.
"Junior, the news of your attempt to achieve twelve consecutive championships has been discovered."
Han Jiangxue handed the phone to Su Yu, but her tone didn't show much nervousness.
Because in Han Jiangxue's opinion, this matter would be guessed sooner or later.
To be brought up only in the middle of the fifth month was already somewhat incredibly slow.
It's just that in the coming months, Junior's pressure might increase.
After all, apart from Tianxing Entertainment, no one wanted to see Su Yu truly accomplish the heaven-defying feat of twelve consecutive championships.
Even equaling Lin Feng's ten consecutive championships back then, they absolutely couldn't let it happen!
So, in the next few months, these entertainment companies, lyricists, composers, and musicians would definitely bring out their best works to snipe Su Yu.
"So, Senior, are you willing to release a new album in December to help me in this battle?" Su Yu asked, looking into Han Jiangxue's eyes after reading the trending topic.
Han Jiangxue's heart pounded at Su Yu's sudden action; she truly didn't know why Junior would suddenly exude his charm at this time.
"I'll release mine next January. This December, why don't you personally take on the challenge! The finals of "Who is the Singer" are on December 1st. If you release a new album on the night of your glorious unmasking, then your December will be stable."
Han Jiangxue collected her thoughts and stated the plan she had just thought of on the way.
It must be said that Han Jiangxue was truly very intelligent.
As long as Su Yu gloriously unmasked himself in the finals of "Who is the Singer," and then the identities of Wu Anjun and Su Yu merged into one, releasing a new album at that point would be nothing short of a nuclear explosion!
It was also at this moment that Su Yu realized Han Jiangxue had probably come to discuss this matter.
"It seems I won't be able to relax for the remaining half a month or so."
Su Yu shrugged helplessly, clearly agreeing to Han Jiangxue's suggestion.
December, he's going in personally!
