Chapter 37: The Judges
"Wow, I've never seen such a lavish lineup. ”
"Look at it, isn't that the myth of the design world - Mr. Hua?"
"I don't know, Old Man Hua has always been elusive, where we can see it casually. ”
"Well, too. ”
As dozens of black elongated Lincolns slowly stopped, the restless crowd invariably turned their eyes to the door, expecting to be able to block the dignity of the design masters.
The first to step out of the car door was a crane-haired old man wearing a Tang costume and a dragon-headed cane, his beard was long and white, and it swayed lightly from time to time as he walked.
His wrinkled face was not angry, he only glanced at the crowd lightly, nodded, and took the lead in walking into the center of the venue with the support of a bodyguard wearing black clothes and black pants and black sunglasses.
He has been famous in the design industry for a long time, focusing on Chinese style and quintessence design, which can be seen from the outfit on his body. He is - Lin Xiao, Old Man Lin.
She was followed by a fashionably dressed old lady, who was clearly in excellent condition. The face that has lost collagen does not apply too much fat powder, and the simple makeup outlines her luxurious but not indifferent cheeks.
Contrary to Lin Xiao, she has a kind and intimate smile on her face, if you put aside her dress and temperament.
In terms of appearance alone, people who don't know still think that she is the most ordinary kind old lady in whose family.
She is Luo Wanwan, her time of fame is not much different from Lin Xiao, according to their fame time and extraordinary influence, Luo Wanwan, Lin Xiao, and the old man Hua mentioned in the crowd before - the three people of Hua Heng are called "three masters".
The people who got off the bus one after another were different men and women, young and old. Leaving aside the "three masters" of the design world, the other judges were in their fifties and early thirties, and they were all dressed up brightly, wearing their most proud design works, with just the right smile on their faces, and walked into the venue with just the right smile on their faces.
It can be said that all the seniors who have more weight and voice in the design industry, except for Mr. Hua, are officially gathered here today.
Everyone walked into the octagonal pavilion unhurriedly, and after taking their seats according to their names, the twenty leather seats that were neatly placed were vacant in the first place.
After a long time, all the judges still stood still, smiling and sitting in their seats talking to each other, and the audience at the next head became a little restless again because of the delay in the competition.
The contestants are even more so, there are people like Shen Ling who are calm, let the sweat drip down, still smile gently and generously and do not move at all, like Shen Zhiqing who complains while shouting about wearing sunscreen, touching up makeup, playing umbrellas and other systematic things are even more common.
In the audience, some staff members were talking in a low voice,
"Why is Hua Lao's position vacant?"
"Didn't you come today? I didn't get notice. ”
"Hurry up and call the chief. ”
After a while, the person in charge of the event, who was busy and sweating profusely, trotted over, and then stood beside Lin Wanwan with a respectful face and asked softly,
"Mrs. Luo, is our design competition ready to start? It's not too early now...... I don't know if I need to wait any longer, Old Man Hua?"
Looking at the staff's embarrassed eyes looking at the first seat, Luo Wanwan smiled slightly,
"He, he is disrespectful to the old all day long, I don't know where to fool around, don't wait for him, let's start. ”
"And that chair, don't remove it, he'll come himself in a moment. ”
After getting Luo Wanwan's message, the staff was amnesty.
Whether it is the unexcused absence of the first judge, or the removal of a judge's chair after the start of the competition, it is considered an accident of this competition.
And the judges present today are all extraordinary, and they are unruly, once they have any unhappiness, the consequences of such an accident are not their own small event field control can be responsible.
"You haven't seen Lao Hua today?"
Lin Xiao asked coldly.
Luo Wanwan shook his head,
"I went to his room in the morning and knocked on the door, but then I found out that he wasn't there, so I went to look for you. ”
"Hmph, this old thing, let him be a judge, he didn't do a good job, so he simply asked the staff to remove his chair. ”
Lin Xiao's snow-white beard turned up angrily, and complained dissatisfied.
"If he was honest as a judge, he wouldn't be Hua Hengzhi. The two of you have been making trouble for so many years, don't you know his temperament?"
Luo Wanwan laughed and joked with Lin Xiao.
"Whoever made a fuss with him, it was obviously him who found fault every day. ”
Lin Xiao raised his face a little unnaturally, and there seemed to be a suspicious dark red at the base of his snow-white beard.
Luo Wanwan also accepted it when he saw it, stopped the topic with a smile, and stopped teasing Lin Xiao anymore.
Standing at the top, under the scorching sun, the person in charge of the venue solemnly introduced the judges who were present today, and they each nodded and smiled, and then the same opening remarks and pre-game statements.
After a complicated and lengthy speech by the person in charge of the arena, a strong and powerful "The game has officially begun" woke up the sleepy players and spectators in the audience.
The design competition is different from other competitions in that all contestants are required to draw their own design core and design concepts on the drawings at the same time in a specified time and in front of countless spectators.
This not only requires the designer to have unique insights and understanding of design, but also to have excellent psychological quality, but also requires the designer to have rich drawing skills and expression ability, and be able to express all the things he wants to express through a drawing.
The theme of this competition is "Hybrid", which combines three or more design elements through one's own design techniques.
With the order of the person in charge, all the contestants who were sitting neatly at their respective tables began to draw. As the minutes ticked by, all the contestants were frowning or relaxed, thinking about how their design drawings could be brilliant.
Shen Zhiqing on the other side was like a divine help, I don't know what the drawings were, anyway, the movements were smooth, as if she had practiced a hundred times and thousands of times.
After completing her drawings in one go, Shen Zhiqing raised her head triumphantly and looked around, trying to search for Shen Ling's sad face thinking about the drawings.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiqing crashed into a pair of calm and waveless eyes.
The eyes were dark and shiny, and there was no trace of panic in the round eyes, she met Shen Zhiqing's eyes and looked back calmly.
Shen Ling? What's going on?
Shen Zhiqing rubbed her eyes in disbelief and looked over again, only to see Shen Ling holding his arms and leaning unhurriedly on a pillar in the pavilion.
Shen Ling didn't participate in the competition?
Shen Zhiqing was dumbfounded.
As the person in charge of the designer of the time, no matter what the final result of the design competition is, at least you must have the courage to participate.
But Shen Ling didn't even dare to try?
