Chapter 275: Goodbye Master and Apprentice

The ten candidates in Group 8 stood up silently and walked to the wooden table with their names written on it.

When Liu Yan got up, Zhou Buyan whispered beside her, "Come on!"

The calligraphy industry has always been "patriarchal", and if you look at the ratio of calligraphers to women, you can see that the number of women is pitiful.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is only one woman Liu Yan among these ten people.

The five judges all glanced at her more, and Su Xuezhen's eyes were particularly meaningful.

They have a remarks column after the names of the candidates, noting who they studied under or what honors they have received, so that the judges can have a preliminary understanding of them. Su Xuezhen saw that behind Liu Yan's name, the word "Suyi" was written.

His gaze wandered, and at the end of the spectator on the left, he found Su Yi and Ouyang Cen who had just sat down.

He hadn't seen the former master for thirty years. In the past 30 years, although there is no intersection between the two people, it does not mean that Su Xuezhen does not know the situation of Su Yi, Su Yi's status in the calligraphy world is too high, he is an authoritative figure, and his words and deeds can even affect the style trend of domestic regular script and official calligraphy.

Sensing Su Xuezhen's gaze, Su Yi met his gaze, but the old but still resolute eyes burst out with coldness and disdain. He didn't come to watch the first two sets of interviews just now, because he didn't want to stay in the same space with Su Xuezhen for even a second longer, and now that it was Liu Yan's turn, he had to stare at it himself.

The Su Xuezhen in his impression is still in his early twenties, arrogant and arrogant, and now Su Xuezhen is sleek and sophisticated, with the aura of a superior.

He looked directly at himself, without the slightest guilt and weakness, and even a trace of pride.

Of course, Su Xuezhen is very proud, he is only in his early fifties, but he has already gained fame and fortune, he is a well-known calligrapher, a respected college dean, a successful businessman, and a winner in life!

He already has enough confidence and qualifications, and facing Su Yi, his eyes seem to be saying to Su Yi: What he did back then was not wrong. Fang Huaiyuan can't compare to him at all, Fang Huaiyuan is the principal, and he is also the dean, but who still remembers that Fang Huaiyuan is also Su Yi's foot Su Yi's apprentice?

If it was changed to before, Su Yi would be like thunder again, brushing his sleeves away, out of sight.

But he has Liu Yan now!

Su Yi looked at the girl standing with his back to him, as if he had found a support, and the depression in his heart had also found a breakthrough.

After Su Xuezhen's incident, he was particularly cautious in accepting apprentices later, even if he met some talented young people, before accepting apprentices, he would consider it carefully and test it for a period of time before making a decision.

Therefore, in the twenty years after Su Xuezhen was expelled from the school, he only accepted 3 apprentices, but unfortunately, these three people, like Fang Huaiyuan, have developed well in their respective career fields, but none of them can stick to the road of calligraphy and become a "calligrapher".

He later gave up, thinking that he would not find a suitable person in his life to inherit his mantle, and he was also older, more indisputable, and concentrated on teaching and educating people at the university.

In this way, another ten years passed, and he saw Liu Yan's words written on the Internet to make money.

His heart, which had been silent for a long time, beat again, and he didn't expect that he would see hope at an age when he was about to enter the ground.

It's providential.

He hurriedly asked Liu Yan to participate in this calligraphy exhibition because he didn't know if he would survive the next four years. Otherwise, he would definitely spend ten or five years first handing over to her all what he had learned in his life, and then let her participate in the exhibition after she became a qualified heir.

Liu Yan didn't know the undercurrent between her teacher and the old apprentice, she didn't even look at any judges, the first thing she did when she walked to the stage was to rearrange the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table according to her own habits, handle it gently, quietly, and when she was done, she stood still.

Her standing posture is Xiao Zhao from her childhood ear training to face life, Xiao Zhao, who was born as a dancer, attaches great importance to manners, she did not teach Liu Yan to dance, but taught her all the basic skills that a dancer should have, so Liu Yan can stand like a green pine, light steps.

coupled with an antique skirt, it is like a talented woman in ancient times.

Liu Yan's competitors couldn't help but look sideways at her, and the one that looked at her most frequently was the young man behind her, his gaze was too dazzling, Liu Yan had to turn around, and first saw the name tag hanging on his desk: Su Maolin.

It turned out that he was the author of the regular script of "Broken Kiln Fu", the son of Su Xuezhen.

Su Maolin looks like he is in his twenties, he is very tall, probably because the clothes are all famous brands and well matched, he looks very energetic and a little handsome.

But Liu Yan felt that Su Maolin did not have his father's temperament, and he was not even as good as Zhou Bu's literary temperament, he did not have the style of a literati, at first glance, he was an ordinary rich second generation.

Liu Yan wondered, is he really the author of "Broken Kiln Fu"?

The interview began in the hearts of several people.

The first was the review of the works, where the five judges exchanged their views with each other. They start with the first candidate closest to the judges' bench.

Each judge evaluated two works, and the comments were only one or two sentences, mostly provocative and critical, and not good words anyway.

Liu Yan was in the middle position, and soon it was her turn, a judge with a beard who evaluated her, Liu Yan knew that his name was Wang Qinghai, a famous calligrapher, a member of the Calligraphy Association, and good at calligraphy.

Wang Qinghai looked at her and said, "Too much imitation, too much craftsmanship!"

Zhou Buyan had already said something similar, so Liu Yan accepted the criticism very calmly, and said generously, "Thank you for the judges' advice." ”

Wang Qinghai was a little surprised in his heart, and glanced at Su Xuezhen.

Su Xuezhen nodded lightly invisibly.

Wang Qinghai continued to comment on the works of the next candidate, and the next one was Su Maolin, who was about to listen to the teachings, did not make an humble gesture like others, but looked indifferent, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Su Maolin said, "The pen is strong and the structure is calm. ”

Ten reviews, and this is the only one that is positive.

It is true that Su Maolin's works are indeed the best among them, and it is impossible that they are without any shortcomings, and critics can even find thorns in Wang Xizhi's works.

Everyone knows in their hearts that Wang Qinghai said this because Su Maolin is Su Xuezhen's son. But the strength of others is there, and the dissatisfaction of others can only be turned into convincing.

Who makes himself inferior to others!

Next, it was time to ask people to cry, this link was not in order, each judge could ask whoever he wanted, and everyone was anxious to wait to be asked.
