The deadline for bidding for the S1 project was approaching, but Xiao Yarrow made an international call from Italy, hoping to extend the deadline by another week, as they still had the finishing touches on it. In order to apologize, they will take out two pieces with different design styles at once to make up for the lost time.

"It seems that the Italians are imperative to win this project, using a double insurance tactic!"

Han Hao nodded and agreed to the other party's request.

At that time, the design plan will be selected by blind selection and secret ballot, and Han Hao is also one of the judges, and it is still unknown whose design plan will be selected in the end.

In order to show fairness, China Motor specially invited the staff of the Jiangzhou Notary Office to witness and supervise the whole process to ensure that there was no black-box operation.

"Zhao, do you think we can win?"

George and Zhao Chunlei's design was submitted at the deadline and sealed by the notary, and now the time has been specially extended for the Italians, and many people privately say that the Italian work is estimated to be the favorite of the high-level.

"It's useless to be in a hurry, at least we have learned a lot from it. ”

Faced with George's inquiry, Zhao Chunlei replied.

In addition to Han Hao and other expert judges, there are also 200 ordinary employees of Zhonghua Group, who will also participate in voting for their favorite works.

A total of 13 works were submitted, and now they have completed the modeling design with computer 3D modeling in accordance with the regulations, as well as real scale models made of clay, which will be presented on the stage one by one.

In another small conference room, the contributors of their works rested and waited for the final results to be announced.

Xiao Yarrow and the designer also came from Italy to attend the meeting, and they specially prepared two sets of works of different styles this time, which is bound to win the championship this time.

"Take it easy, Alexander. Even though we were in a hurry, the work was perfect and I couldn't wait to open the champagne to celebrate. ”

Seeing his assistant staring nervously at the TV screen in the live broadcast, Xiao Yaluo persuaded him.

It can be said that this collection of works is clearly for the purpose of selecting good works, so the scene did not hesitate to carry out live TV, and the live picture can be transmitted to the internal TV screen through the signal.

The China Automotive Research Institute's large investment in informatization has done a very good job, which is only a side effect.

"The design of the No. 1 work is inspired by Chinese characters, and it adopts the most popular minimalist design language in the world, using a five-lane grille to outline the front face of the 'Zhong' character, so that people can know at a glance that it is the design work of China Motor. The rigid and square shape is adopted on the body, which makes the whole vehicle tall and mighty, which conforms to the thinking of the structure of Chinese characters......"

It can be said that the design inspiration of the No. 1 work is very unique, which makes people feel close at a glance, and it is very suitable for the theme of China Motor. Under the introduction of the host, the on-site judges learned about its design connotation.

The audience, including Han Hao, couldn't help but sigh when they saw it, and nodded their heads in praise.

Xiao Yaluo didn't expect to draw one of the works of his studio on the first day, and the reaction to the scene seemed to be good, which was a customized plan for Chinese customers.

After the introduction of the No. 1 work, the clay prototype car model was placed on the stage at the No. 1 booth, and the judges were asked to come to the stage to watch it up close.

However, the disadvantage is that the model is too square, with a hard-core off-road style, which does not match well with road SUVs.

"Inspired by the traditional Chinese architecture of the quadrangle, the No. 2 work uses the symmetry of the north-south axis and the closed quadrangle to blur the grille into a courtyard courtyard, so that it forms an abstract quadrangle with the front face of the vehicle......"

With the introduction of the host, you can see that the entire front of the car, together with the windshield and roof, really applies the design language of the courtyard, symmetrically closed into a whole.

I can't imagine that there are a lot of talents who dare to submit, and the two consecutive works have strong Chinese elements.

However, this work emphasizes too much creativity, and there is no novelty in the shape of the body mechanism, copying the shape of the RAV4, making the front and rear matching a bit nondescript.

……

The moon, the mountain, the pagoda, and even a stone can be a source of inspiration for designers, and many of the submissions show their wonderful creativity.

"Inspired by sharks, the No. 9 has a large open mouth grille on the rounded and protruding front end, and the deliberately enlarged headlights on both sides resemble a strong shark hunting. The body shape is also in line with the streamlined style of the shark, forming a unified style with the front face, and the shark fin antenna on the roof is very eye-catching......"

Again, it was a work that amazed the audience, and its bold and avant-garde design style was impressive, like a concept car.

The disadvantage is that the requirements for the process are too advanced, and it is estimated that it is very difficult to mass produce now.

"Work No. 10 is inspired by the Forbidden City, and the shape of the grille is like the inverted shape of the roof of the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, which fits the shape of the round sky. The roof is curved and rounded, while the front and rear of the car are square, and the overall design method of yin and yang harmony organically unifies the two different styles. ”

This is the second work that Xiao Yarrow brought to him, and it is also the work he thinks is the most likely to win.

It can be said that the No. 10 work shows an atmospheric and elegant temperament, which is very unique in Chinese culture.

But if you take a closer look, you will feel that the model design is somewhat familiar, it turns out that it is out of the same door as the Brilliance sedan division, and there are many other parties' design languages on it, but the sedan has become an SUV.

If it weren't for the Brilliance Sedan, this would have been a groundbreaking high score.

The shape of the Brilliance sedan was very popular in China, so in a limited time, Xiao Yarrow asked the designer to recreate it on this basis and came up with the No. 10 work.

Not only Han Hao, but many people present also saw the clue and guessed that this work should be made by Italy.

Despite the suspicion of homogeneity, this is by far the most S1-compliant work, and it would be easy to mass-produce.

Selling two things, what a cunning Italian businessman.

……

"The idea for work No. 12 comes from a cheetah running in the water. The front grille is inspired by the ripples caused by water droplets falling on the surface of the lake, combined with the back-grain shape on traditional Chinese bronzes, creating a water road with traditional Chinese charm. The headlights are designed in the shape of water droplets, which look like two crystal clear teardrops from a distance, which echoes the back-patterned grille. The design of the top of the body refers to the waist curve of the cheetah when it is running fast, and combined with its thick and powerful buttocks, it creates the classic shape of the tail......"

Originally, I thought that the No. 10 work should be a big hit, but I didn't expect the No. 12 work to rise again.

The interior is built with the remnant snow of the broken bridge and the moon reflecting the moon in the three pools, and the appearance shape of the broken bridge is extracted from the center console, extending from the main driver's seat to the passenger seat. The instrument panel adopts the design shape of the moon seal in three pools, and the speedometer and tachometer are arranged in an orderly manner......"

Unlike other works that skip a word about the interior, the No. 12 work also has a fine design of the interior, which is the product of Jiangzhou's unique landscape style.

Seeing these familiar scenes, everyone present nodded one after another, and it was obvious that everyone was very surprised and satisfied.

"Zhao, it looks like our work is very popular!"

Seeing the situation on TV, George said excitedly.

The No. 12 work is the product of his collaboration with Zhao Chunlei, with the water droplets and interior of the front of the car coming from Zhao Chunlei, while George used cheetah running inspiration for the body design. The two sides combined the strengths of their respective works to form the No. 12 that amazed the audience today.

Seeing the appearance of the No. 12 work, Xiao Yaluo's relaxed expression just now disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a serious face.

He also saw that this newly announced work was more popular than his own, and it was more original to be honest. Looking around, he wondered who could have created such a perfect work on his own.

……

When the works are finally showcased, the 13 works are quietly displayed on their respective booths for people to admire up close, and the winner will be voted on after 15 minutes.

Until the last moment, no one can say victory, whether it is the Italians or Qiao Zhao, they are holding their breath and waiting for the moment when the results are announced.

From the moment he saw the 12th, Han Hao decided that this was the work he needed the most today, and now Zhonghua Group urgently needs an original model with its own characteristics to be launched, so as to break the accusation of plagiarism.

More than 200 people voted one by one, and under the inventory of the notary, the final result was released.

The No. 12 work won the S1 model design selection with an absolute lead of 136 votes, and the second place was the No. 10 work with 32 votes, and the remaining works are all in the single digits.

When the notary read out that the winner was the No. 12 work, as well as "the author Zhao Chunlei and George", the two of them jumped up in the small meeting at once, and the two sides hugged each other tightly and enjoyed the taste of victory.

For this selection, they gave up almost all their leisure time and devoted themselves to the creation of the No. 12 work.

The $30 million flew like this, and Xiao Yaluo's heart was full of bitterness, their world-renowned studio was defeated by two hairy boys.

"Hello, can you give me a business card of yours? Congratulations on your final victory, your work is excellent. ”

No wonder his father always told him not to underestimate the world, Xiao Yaluo quickly ended the reality of failure, he wanted to see who could defeat him.

"We don't have business cards, his name is Zhao, my name is George, and we are both designers under China Motor. ”

George saw the Italian coming, and replied after learning of his intentions through an interpreter.

Sure enough, it was a nobody, Xiao Yaluo quickly cheered up, there was no result on the side of the China Group, so go to Brilliance Group to take a look, this No. 10 product may be able to be sold there.
