"This work is quite interesting, and it is in line with the essential image of Zhonghua Group. ”

"It can be said that it is very Chinese to integrate the totem of the Chinese nation, the dragon, into the modern design concept. ”

"The front looks like a dragon face that is not angry and self-imposing, which really resonates with traditional Chinese culture. ”

......

There was a lot of discussion, and many people directly gathered in front of this work to comment.

At this time, Han Hao walked to him, looked down with the title of "Descendants of the Dragon", and saw a very distinctive front picture of a car (SUV).

I saw the matrix headlights composed of LEDs on both sides, like the deep eyes of a hidden dragon shining through the water. The logo of Chung Hwa Group stands in the center as the dragon's nose, with a silver chrome strip waving upwards on each side, like a flying dragon's whiskers.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the huge dragon's beak-shaped grille in the middle, which is designed with ripples of water droplets, as if a giant dragon is absorbing water. The huge air intakes on the left and right sides of the bottom of the body, with decorative strips of dragon claw elements in the middle, make people look like real dragons are dancing their teeth and claws.

In order to fully explain their design concept, the designer also spent a faucet on one side to make a comparison, and the image of the whole vehicle was more concrete.

Sure enough, the first design drawing has already taken the lead, and Han Hao continued to look down, looking forward to the second artwork of the work to surprise him even more.

The body design adopts the concept of "flying dragon in the sky", the whole vehicle adopts a streamlined design wedge-shaped waistline, and the roof uses the current popular suspension design, making the vehicle look very sporty and light. The two silver-gray luggage racks on the roof of the car are like dragon horns on the head extending to the rear of the car, further highlighting the styling elements of the "dragon".

The wheels adopt the concept of a five-clawed golden dragon, which is designed like five open dragon toes, and is equipped with 22-inch high-performance tires. You must know that in traditional Chinese culture, only the Son of Heaven can enjoy the treatment of a five-toed golden dragon, and the rest of his subordinates can only be three-toed and four-toed at most.

In the position of the door handle, the shape of the dragon scales is deliberately depicted in the form of dark lines, which can be described as a hidden mystery step by step.

Seeing this, Han Hao has already given this work a score of 85 points in his heart, which is enough to compare all the works he has seen before.

However, he still looked at the third picture with great interest, which is the design of the rear shape.

The first thing that catches your eye is a long tail light with a symmetrical dragon tail design on both sides, continuing to integrate the dragon concept to the end. As for the exhaust outlets, it is a double outlet design, and the shape of the dragon claw is used again on the top of it, echoing the front position of the front of the car, in line with the four-legged setting of the Chinese dragon. The bright chrome strip that covers the exhaust vents is once again decorated with dark dragon scales, once again taking the theme to the extreme.

After reading three design drawings in a row, Han Hao praised the concept of "dragon", and his score rose to 90 points in his mind.

"Descendants of the Dragon" means not only the deep meaning of the Chinese Group from China, but also means that every Chinese driving this model is worthy of the descendants of Yanhuang.

The designer of this astonishing work is Ma Xiaofei, the designer of the "Beacon Great Wall", from the Great Wall to the dragon, his understanding of traditional Chinese culture has been taken to a higher level.

The Great Wall is unique to China, and the Chinese dragon is also unique, and it is full of personality when you look at the world.

Needless to say, the "Descendants of the Dragon" design went very smoothly to the next round.

With the works that made his eyes shine, Han Hao's heart was settled, and he continued to look down with a more relaxed attitude.

"Oops, I didn't expect another good work to appear. The design is very zen-like and feels natural. ”

"The design of the whole vehicle has an intangible but unforgettable look. In the current trend of pursuing sharp lines to produce a sense of hierarchy, but through the design of the outer circle and the inner square, it is unique. ”

"This work makes people feel accustomed to Western oil paintings, and then looking back at Chinese landscape paintings, there is a hazy artistic conception, and I always feel familiar. ”

......

Seeing the good works, everyone stopped and began to comment.

"Enlightenment of Nature", Han Hao saw the theme of the work.

Compared with the "dragon" who was not angry and arrogant just now, this car is now more like a "frog" that has been free for nine days.

The same LED structure is located in the light position, but the shape of the "frog" light cluster is three toes, but it is only a daytime running light. The real headlights are hidden underneath, and the follow-up grille is connected together, so you can't really recognize it without looking closely at the lights when you don't turn on the lights. This design is in line with the performance of a frog floating under the water, which is in stark contrast to the mainstream of the market.

Under the front logo is a frog-shaped grille with a big mouth open, which adopts the concept of water droplet ripples, which is bold and restrained enough, which is in line with the temperament of the vehicle to transcend nature and pursue the true self. However, the middle is cut by a bright chrome strip like a tongue, forming a unique double-layer grille that runs through the front face.

The body also has a floating roof design, but two parallel waistlines give the body a large and rounded appearance. The taillights don't have a through-line design, but they are also impressive with three frog toes.

It's no exaggeration to say that the "Enlightened Nature" model is very similar to the Porsche, and it's not an exaggeration to call it a smaller Cayenne Evolution.

has been in the automotive industry for a long time, and as soon as a new concept car comes out, Han Hao probably knows what the market feedback will be.

A design as unique as "Enlightened Nature" has the beauty of modern abstract art, which can be said to be in line with the aesthetic concept of 6 years ahead of schedule. Coupled with the addition of Porsche styling, this car will definitely be a popular model once it is mass-produced.

In terms of products alone, Han Hao also gave a 90-point evaluation for this, which gave the Chinese brand a kind of evolutionary beauty.

In the end, after reading the whole plan, the most vocal ones were "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Enlightened Nature", and both sides had almost equal supporters.

Who will win in the end depends on the results of the subsequent selection.

In addition to the design drawings, the six works that will enter the next round will also receive a small clay design vehicle, and will be subject to anonymous voting by a larger public jury.

The eyes of the masses are bright, a total of 600 people in three batches of this round of voting, "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Enlightenment Nature" two works won the votes far ahead. In the end, "Descendants of the Dragon" defeated "Enlightened Nature" by 9 votes and became the winning work selected by the public jury.

"Dragon", the historical totem of the Chinese nation, is indeed emotionally irresistible.

But this is not the final result, and the winner is not yet to be revealed.

At the same time, the two works revealed their respective designers.

Before the unveiling, many people believed that Zhao Chunlei, the legendary designer of Zhonghua Group, would definitely be shortlisted for one of the final two works, but many people could not guess which one it was.

Seeing that "Enlightenment Nature" was made by the legendary designer Zhao Chunlei, everyone felt surprised and took it for granted. He does have such a masterful design ability, which can subvert his previous design style, but still maintain his unique characteristics.

As for the designer of "Descendants of the Dragon", many people would not have imagined that it would be done by Ma Xiaofei. Because he was unusually low-key after making the "Great Wall of Beacon Fire", he never liked to compete for the limelight in front of the stage.

However, the design draft of "Descendants of the Dragon" shows a strong enterprising spirit, which is in stark contrast to the "enlightenment of nature".

It seems that the designer speaks with his work, not how well he performs.

Witnessing the emergence of two designers who were praised by others, Zhang Fan, a new designer who originally planned to replace him with "Lingyun Wings", had to admit that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon within the China Group, his works still lacked a bit of heat in comparison, and needed to be further polished.

The final battleground of the two finalists will be held 25 days later at the 2011 Shanghai International Auto Show, where they will be presented as concept cars in front of the audience at the same time, and it will be up to them to decide who will come out on top.

From drawings and clay modeling to conceptual metal vehicles, the visual effect is completely different, and the object of judgment has become tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of auto show visitors.

25 days, for the China Group, which has huge resources, is enough for the "descendants of the dragon" and "enlightenment nature" to complete the manufacture of the shape of the vehicle, as for the interior design will be temporarily blank. In other words, on the day of the auto show, the audience can only see the concept car with the finished appearance, and the interior is not open to the public.

For Zhao Chunlei and Ma Xiaofei, they both have strong confidence that their work will win in the end, but they are both excited and surprised by their opponents' super performances. Excitement is that opponents with equal strength are more likely to stimulate their fighting spirit and creativity, but the surprise is that they can't imagine that there are such strong opponents within the China Group.

While the concept car is being built, the two will each lead a team to further refine their design work and strive to present the best in front of the world.

The long-awaited Hujiang International Auto Show has finally opened, and as the world's largest automobile market, the status of China's auto show has also risen, becoming on a par with the five major international auto shows. At the Hujiang Auto Show alone, 14 world premiere models were unveiled, and 25 Chinese market premiere models were registered, and all the world's famous automobile companies signed up for the exhibition.

As soon as you announce that you may enter the Chinese market or increase investment in China, the stock price will skyrocket, which represents China's position in the global automotive landscape today.

At the auto show, Chunghwa Group officially unveiled the newly finalized third-generation CVT automatic transmission product, and at the same time announced the patent information, saying that the new generation product solves the problems of the previous generation CVT cannot match the high power and slow shift acceleration. At the same time, the design works of 8AT will be exhibited, showing that Zhonghua Group has also not stopped moving forward in the AT field.

As for the engine, in addition to the main 2.0T mass production engine, the design models of the 2.5T and 3.0T engines were also announced, indicating that the Chunghwa Group will not meet the limit of 2.0T, but will continue to develop upward. In addition, the 48V electric hybrid turbine technology patent product was also announced, indicating that Zhonghua Group has strong technical reserves.

However, none of the above contents can be compared with the sensation achieved by the debut of the two concept cars "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Enlightenment Nature".

Chunghwa Group announced that the next generation of models will be selected from the two, and who will be the symbol of the Chinese brand in the next six years will be voted on by the majority of auto show visitors. In addition to on-site voting, online voting was also opened, claiming that "it is up to the Chinese to decide what shape of car to ride in the future."

As a result, most of the limelight of the auto show was suddenly stolen.

No wonder competitors sighed: "Zhonghua Group is the most marketing opponent in the Chinese market!"
