Chapter 713 Qualifier Review
Charles's incident just now was just a small episode, and no one cared.
After all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and if you care about this, you can't care about it.
As long as he doesn't make trouble afterwards, Yu Qingyang doesn't plan to continue to pursue it, at most, he won't invite him in the future.
In the afternoon, several review experts came one after another.
These are just a long way away, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up with tomorrow's report, so I set off early.
Tomorrow is the peak of the report, and the organizing committee has invited a total of 300 experts and professors from home and abroad.
They are all professors of world-renowned universities and experts in the field of design.
The reason why so many experts and professors are invited to serve as judges is also to reflect the importance and authority of the World University Student Design Competition.
The first World University Design Competition has received more than 10,000 entries so far, and if there are fewer judges, there is really no way to complete the judging work in a short time.
Even so, on average, each expert needs to review more than 30 entries, and the preliminary review only takes two days, and the workload is still very large to see more than 30 design works in two days.
Not only to watch, but also to select works that can enter the semi-finals.
In the primary selection, according to the major, every three experts will form a group to jointly review the entries of the major and select the works that can enter the semi-finals.
Each jury member can recommend two works, that is, each primary jury panel can recommend six works.
Then all the review experts are randomly divided into ten review groups, these ten review teams are disrupted, no longer divided according to the specialty, each professional recommends a pair of design works, to participate in the finals.
Design is divided into several categories, including high-rise buildings, garden architecture, squares, bridges, and many other categories.
The works that can enter the finals will basically be adopted, and they can get a lot of design patent fees.
The organizing committee also stipulates another situation, if the review team believes that there are more than two works of comparable quality in the design works reviewed by themselves, the whole group will sign and report to the organizing committee to increase the number of participants in the finals.
This is a set of evaluation methods designed by Wu Yunfang and the people of the Administration Department for several months to be as fair and just as possible.
Of course, there is no absolute fairness and justice in this world, and even such a rigorous evaluation method always has some luck involved.
Luck is naturally divided into good luck and bad luck, for example, a work that could have entered the finals was directly excluded from the semi-finals because of personal liking.
It is also possible that from the preliminary round to the semi-finals, they were judged by their own teachers, and then passed smoothly and went all the way to the finals, although this situation is rare, but it cannot be said that there is none.
On the day of the start of the primary selection, a very simple ceremony was held, and Yu Qingyang said a few words to announce the start of the primary selection of the World University Student Design Competition.
Wu Yunfang took his subordinates to move the design drawings printed in advance to the conference room and distributed them to the experts who had been waiting for a long time.
Basically, everyone had a thick pile of design drawings in front of them.
The design drawings of the competition are basically equal to the preliminary design drawings, with shape and structure, but there are no detailed cross-sectional structural drawings and sectional structural drawings as construction drawings.
After the review began, Yu Qingyang walked back and forth in the various conference rooms.
The first meeting rooms were all small conference rooms, and there were only twenty or thirty people in each conference room.
Yu Qingyang's purpose of patrolling back and forth was actually to add some pressure to them, and silently told them, "Judge well, I'm staring at you."
The remuneration of 500,000 US dollars per person for these experts is not so easy to get, and on average one person has to review more than 30 works, and write their own opinions and suggestions on each work.
After the competition, the organizing committee will give feedback to the participating college students.
This can also be regarded as a small benefit for the participating college students, where it is good and where it is not, the opinion of experts is a guide.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two-day preliminary selection is over, and a total of 600 works are selected to enter the semi-finals.
On the third day, according to the schedule of the organizing committee, we will have a day off, and then start the semi-final selection on the fourth day.
"Chairman, take a look!" Wu Yunfang found Yu Qingyang and showed him a stack of design drawings.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qingyang looked at Wu Yunfang suspiciously.
"This is the design drawing that Charles Bronson reviewed......"
Yu Qingyang took the design drawings, looked through them, and his face became a little ugly.
Because entries are given out at random, no one knows who will review them.
Charles Bronson reviewed more than a dozen entries from Chinese university students.
These works, without exception, have been eliminated, and the comments above make Yu Qingyang think of a word, troll.
Normally, even if it is a work that has been eliminated, the comments on it will be more subtle, or directly point out the shortcomings.
However, Charles's comments are all about finding dissatisfaction, and there is no shortage of rubbish, shit and other insulting words.
And there are several entries in it, and the stars are better than the entries he recommends.
Although none of the entries have a nationality or name on them, who made Charles an expert in the field of landscape design.
The entries in Chinese gardens all have a distinctly Chinese style, which is too easy to identify.
In fact, the entries of various countries inevitably bear some traces of their own countries, such as Chinese style, such as European and American style, in the eyes of experts, there is no difference from marking nationality.
"Reprint a copy and then organize another expert to review these works!
Remember, find experts from Europe and the United States to review these works, and try not to alarm Charles!" Yu Qingyang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and explained to Wu Yunfang.
"Understood!" Wu Yunfang nodded.
Wu Yunfang acted quickly and found ten experts from famous European and American universities to review these entries.
The name is naturally the entries that have just been received, and in the spirit of being responsible for the contestants, they are invited to work overtime, of course, the overtime pay is a lot.
After a review by 10 experts, the results were very different, with the Chinese entries being promoted and the entries selected by Charles being rejected.
On the fourth day, Yu Qingyang summoned all the review experts to the auditorium.
"The semi-final review will start today, and I have gathered everyone here, there is a very regrettable news to inform you!" Yu Qingyang didn't say much politely to them, and said straight to the point: "Before I announce this bad news, please watch a short video first!"
As Yu Qingyang's words landed, a picture appeared on the big screen behind him, which was the conversation between Charles Bronson and the staff and Wu Yunfang that day.
