Chapter Forty-Six: The Spotlight of the School
It is particularly worth mentioning that the following newsletter also introduces Wang Ming's experience of studying abroad and holding his own art exhibition when he returned to China, but there is nothing about Hu Cheng. Such obviously biased news was not made by the fat man, who else could it be?
The news of competing for the position of No. 1 school grass is too topical. It is often said that a spark can start a prairie fire, but now it is no longer a spark, but a raging fire, and it soon spread to the whole school. Even the seniors or teachers in the school heard the news.
At this time, the conference room of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.
"President, I heard that now the news that Wang Ming and Hu Cheng are going to compete in our entrance exam is spreading everywhere. ”
A boy sitting next to him nodded: "That's right, maybe this is a good opportunity for us to establish the status of the first club of our Huaxia University." ”
......
Seeing that almost everyone was excited, a girl sitting in the chief gestured to them to stop: "Okay, in that case, you go and arrange it, usually we hold so many calligraphy and painting competitions, but no one cares, but today there are so many people paying attention, no matter what the reason is, we must firmly seize this opportunity and try to do a good job in this entrance exam."
Your public relations department sent someone to ask the school leaders, and they must get the right to use the Wenjin Garden this afternoon. ”
The head of the public relations department stood up with a sad expression: "President, you also know that Wenjin Yuan is the best auditorium in our Huaxia University, and it will not be too extravagant to hold our freshman entrance exam." And the school leaders probably don't approve of this kind of small activity!"
The president shook his head and said to everyone, "Do you really think that only this year's freshmen will come to see now, if my estimate is right, even the best and largest auditorium in our school will not be able to hold so many people by then."
Hu Cheng left a deep impression on many people because of that freshman party and was known by many people. And you know who the king's name is, the most famous prince of the family in Kyoto, and the number of people who want to climb the high branches of the royal family is needless to say. You must know how many people the two of them will attract when they compete. ”
"Yes, President, there are still a few hours, and I will do my best. ”
The president shook his head: "It's not as much as possible, but it must be done, the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again." By the way, I have to invite teachers and professors to be judges, so that it can be convincing to make more people willing to join our calligraphy and painting association......"
As soon as the meeting was over, the whole association began to arrange for the news to be reported on the news platforms of the major schools, and the streets of the school were filled with posters and banners.
Just one club entrance exam was turned into a large-scale event. It can be said that since the establishment of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, there has never been a time when the entrance examination has been as grand as this one. And all this is a chain reaction caused by Hu Cheng and Wang Ming.
And these, Hu Cheng is not clear for the time being. He only knew that he would only be the final winner, which was also the pride hidden in Hu Cheng's heart after a hundred battles without defeat.
The two hours disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Hu Cheng set off for the Calligraphy and Painting Association.
But when he arrived, he was dumbfounded. The building is empty, isn't this a cheat, the person who just returned a room, if it weren't for Hu Cheng's disbelief in evil, he would have thought he had gone to a haunted house.
Finally, when I walked to the gate, I saw a blank piece of paper pasted on the notice bar next to it.
It reads: Due to the expected number of viewers, the association has temporarily decided to hold a new student entrance assessment in Wenjin Garden, and students who participate in and watch the competition are invited to move to Wenjin Garden. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Hu Cheng finally understood why there was no one here, he was late for a long time, and he didn't see the notice at all.
Hu Cheng patted his head speechlessly: Can you play happily, it is expected that there will be too many viewers, what the hell is this? It makes me ask for directions again.
After some effort, Hu Cheng finally found Wenjin Garden, and when he entered, he finally understood what it meant to have too many people. I saw that the auditorium was full of people, completely full, and crowded.
Fortunately, he was sharp-eyed, and when he saw the contestants' waiting area, he walked slowly towards it. The person in charge of the assessment obviously did his homework before, found his photo on the forum, and remembered his appearance.
The person in charge was anxious, seeing that Hu Cheng was still not in a hurry at this point, and hurriedly trotted over.
"You're Hu Cheng, you're too early, the exams are about to start, don't you know that most of the people here are coming to see you?"
Hu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and pointed to himself with his finger: "So many people have come to see me? Are you joking, it's not April Fool's Day yet." ”
The person in charge didn't know what to say when he heard Hu Cheng's words, such a big thing had happened, and the person concerned was still unknown.
"Isn't it that you want to snatch the position of Wang Ming's first school grass, so you challenge Wang Ming through our Calligraphy and Painting Association? How can you not know this? You must know ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, when am I going to snatch the name of the school?" Besides, how do you know that I have an agreement with Wang Ming, and it seems that he came to challenge me!"
"Don't you even watch the internal news of the school, well, it doesn't matter who challenges whom, as long as there is this thing. Now the most important thing is to take the exam, and I'll take you there. ”
In this way, Hu Cheng was still in doubt, so he was dragged to the contestant preparation area. When he walked in, he saw a few familiar faces, Wang Ming was sitting in the first row, many people gathered in front of him to ask for something, and Wang Ming was also smiling and explaining to them. Hu Cheng knew his ruthless methods, secretly scolded a hypocrite, and looked for Li Xueqian's shadow.
Li Xueqian was still sitting there quietly in a snow-white dress, so beautiful and dazzling, the surroundings were like a vacuum, no one dared to sit next to her, including Wang Ming, who was rushed to the front to sit in the dust.
However, one thing descends to another, Hu Chengcheng is like Li Xueqian's nemesis, he can always slowly break the defense in her heart and melt the ice in her heart.
"I said Xiao Qianniu, you are becoming more and more unkind, and you don't even tell me that the Calligraphy and Painting Association has an entrance exam, do you still have me in your heart. ”
When he saw Li Xueqian turn her head and look at him coldly, Hu Cheng hurriedly added, "This friend." ”
"There's really no need to tell you when I see you so confident, so I'm looking forward to you joining. ”
Seeing Li Xueqian talking nonsense, Hu Cheng was also a little helpless, he really didn't have any practical way to deal with her Laipi.
Hu Cheng was about to respond to her with words when he heard the host on the stage start to speak.
"Since its establishment, the Calligraphy and Painting Association has a history of 100 years, and a group of fresh blood will emerge every year, and the significance of our entrance examination is not only to select elites, but also to exchange and learn from each other.
Now there are two young talents Wang Ming and Hu Cheng who are willing to join our calligraphy and painting association and fight for the dragon. Therefore, our association has spent a lot of effort to hold this unprecedented assessment here. Thank you very much for your support......"
Hearing this, Hu Cheng had to praise the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and completely regarded himself and Wang Ming as free advertisements that did not charge money.
The host has obviously undergone very professional training and knows how to grab the audience's attention.
"In this assessment, we also invited two professors from the Department of Art to comment on the students, and let us welcome their strong support with warm applause. ”
In fact, there is no need for the host to say, the audience is already about to applaud thunderously, most of the people who came here were freshmen, where had they seen such a character as the professor, but now they saw it all at once, and they were two, and they all clapped their hands excitedly.
Next, the host began to introduce the assessment rules: "At the same time, a new ranking mode is adopted this time, 100 contestants will be divided into ten groups, whether you are calligraphy or painting, the ranking will be determined according to the judges' scores, and the top 50 will pass the exam and become a member of the association."
Because there are too many people, the current group stage does not require the contestants to create on the stage, but to complete the work off-stage in batches, and then hand it over to the organizing committee.
And in order to ensure fairness to the greatest extent, everyone cannot nominate the works, and can only be judged by the student judges according to the quality of the ten works in the group, and then select the top three works to advance to the group stage.
The 30 people left in the promotion round were divided into three groups, with 10 people in each group, and three people were selected to advance to the top nine.
In the end, the students will be seated according to their own numbers, and their works will be identified according to the content and characteristics, and the students who advance to the top nine will also reach the finals and will compete for the final ranking on the stage. ”
After listening to the host's detailed explanation of the rules, Hu Cheng nodded secretly, this entrance exam is still quite formal, and all the knockout rounds used in the competition are used to do the membership assessment.
In this way, Hu Cheng was placed in the second group because he drew the sixteenth.
The assessment began soon, and the exam time for the group stage was only half an hour, but Hu Cheng sat on the chair and was indifferent, looking at the distance between the left and right, and had already started to move, he still didn't start, not that he wouldn't, nor that he was handsome, but he really didn't know what to use to advance.
Why? There will be too many. In calligraphy, calligraphy five major fonts Kai, seal, line, grass, li. He practiced them all.
In painting, the categories of Chinese painting works, figure painting, flower and bird painting and landscape painting. He also dabbled in Western paintings, such as sketches, oil paintings, gouache paintings, acrylic paintings, etc.
