Chapter 274: The Interview Begins
At the same time, there is also news about the calligraphy exhibition on TV, paper media and the Internet, after all, this national exhibition is only held once every four years, is a grand event in the calligraphy circle, and now the upper class vigorously advocates cultural rejuvenation, calligraphy is one of the art categories that can best represent Chinese culture, so even if the calligraphy exhibition is small, it is still put in the headlines, it is the kind of news headlines that belong to the main theme, people often only glance at the headlines, too lazy to read the content.
There are already many calligraphy lovers at the exhibition site, posting pictures of nine palaces on Weibo and posting photos of some of their favorite works, and a fan of a Hanfu goddess first discovered that among these works, there is a character signed "Liu Yan".
He copied the photo of this work and specially posted it on Weibo to ask everyone, "Ask, is this calligraphy written by my goddess? Or is it the same name and surname?
At the beginning, only a few people noticed this Weibo, and they were also curious about the answer, so they helped forward it, more fans saw it, and more fans helped forward it, so it iterated layer by layer, and this Weibo became popular all of a sudden, which attracted the attention of netizens, and everyone left messages to discuss, whether it was the Mobao of the goddess of Hanfu.
Some people say that it is the goddess of Hanfu, and some people have the same name and surname, and there are different opinions.
Netizens, who have never paid attention to calligraphy, began to be curious about the exhibition of calligraphy and seal carving works in this country.
"The name of this exhibition is long, can someone give us a group of illiterate science about what it is?"
"I read the news introduction, saying that it is a calligraphy selection activity held by the Chinese Calligraphy Association, and the best exhibitions are selected from the calligraphy and seal carving works across the country, which can be compared to the good voice of the singing circle. ”
"There is also an introduction on Baidu, and it is still held every four years, and this year is the fifteenth. ”
"Sounds pretty lofty. ”
"The main thing is that it's too professional, and people who don't know calligraphy don't know it at all. ”
"Today is the first day of the exhibition, and the 300 works on display have been carefully selected. ”
"So, can anyone tell me that she wrote it?"
"Directly @ the princess and ask her. ”
"Aite, she ignored it. ”
"It's okay to go to the scene to see it, there are exhibitions in the capital and the ancient capital, we go to the Capital Art Center, and maybe we can meet the goddess of Hanfu herself. ”
"The Capital Art Center is a seal carving exhibition, and the calligraphy on paper is in the ancient capital exhibition center. ”
"Okay, for the sake of the goddess of Hanfu, I'll go to the exhibition center now. ”
"I'll go too, I'm close. ”
......
More and more netizens are interested in the calligraphy exhibition, to be precise, they want to join in the fun by watching the goddess of Hanfu!
In the afternoon, the number of visitors in the exhibition center was nearly twice as large, and these extra people were different from real calligraphy lovers, the first thing they did when they came in was to find Liu Yan's works, and when they found them, they took pictures with their mobile phones and posted them on Weibo!
Then take a walk around to see if there are any other works that fit your eyes, take a few photos casually, send them to Moments, set a position, write two sentences, and improve your style.
In front of Liu Yankai's work, which was not favored, there were circles of people, each holding a mobile phone, looking very excited, making other visitors think that this was a master's work, and they also followed the trend and came over to watch, standing outside the crowd on the third floor and the outer three floors, holding their mobile phones high to take photos.
Without scrutinizing the details, Liu Yan's words are still very good-looking, and they can hold up on the stage, everyone just feels that it is a pity that they did not see the goddess of Hanfu.
Could it be that this "Liu Yan" is not a goddess of Hanfu?
At this moment, in the sub-hall of the Ancient Capital Exhibition Center, five judges are already seated, and they are about to evaluate the works of the exhibitors in groups 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Group 6 is line script, group 7 is official script, group 8 is regular script, group 9 is cursive script, and group 10 is seal script.
Liu Yan is in group 8 and Zhou Buyan is in group 9, and they have already come to the deputy hall in advance.
In front of the judges' bench were 10 wooden tables, each numbered, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
Behind the wooden table, there are 50 makeshift plastic chairs where the candidates in the back group can sit and wait for the judges. The interview process is not open to the public, and only members of the Calligraphy Association can enter the audience, and their seats are more advanced, which is the soft seat where Su Yi and Ouyang Cen sat before.
There are about 20 of these soft seats, which are distributed on both sides of the table, as if it were another way of judging.
Liu Yan and Zhou Buyan sat on plastic chairs, and after watching the review process of the first two groups, they knew the general process.
First, the jury commented on each submitted work in turn, and then asked the candidates questions one by one, each of whom had different questions, and they did not know which jury was asking questions about them.
It is said to be a question, but in fact it is a difficult question.
Just now, there was a candidate in the 6th group of books, and he encountered difficulties from the judges, he couldn't answer the questions, and he was so anxious that his face was red, but the judges showed no mercy, and he had to say a reason, so he could only leave early.
None of the five judges are easy to talk to, and each of them is sharp, or this is a deliberately set level for the interview, which can brush off half of the people.
In the end, the jury will give a sentence, a quatrain or a short article, and let ten people write it on the spot within a fixed time to decide the first and second.
Except for the first and second place works, the other works will be returned to the participants and left to their disposal.
At the end of the 7th group of interviews, the two finalists were overjoyed, while the other eight people had different expressions, anyway, none of them had a good face, and one of them was even more indignant and tore up the words he had just written in public.
He turned to leave,
Su Xuezhen stopped him,
"Please clean the floor before leaving, so as not to affect the next group of judges. ”
This person was very embarrassed, and he was angry but didn't dare to say it again.
offended Su Xuezhen, the works he was exhibiting in the outer hall would definitely be taken down immediately, and he himself would be permanently banned in the domestic calligraphy circle.
He honestly walked back to his desk and crouched down to pick up the pieces of paper he had torn up bit by bit. After cleaning the floor, he didn't leave until there was no slag left, this time his back was lonely and depressed.
Unmoved, the five judges looked down at the miniature drawings of the next group of entries, and the staff quickly took away one group's works, re-laid the clean rice paper, and replaced the name tags on the table with the names of the members of Group 8.
All of this took place in silence, and no one spoke at the scene.
