Chapter 18 Two Scenarios
"I'm really sorry for being late and delaying everyone's time. Peng Bai smiled, he was approachable and soft-spoken, which also flattered the group of people next to him.
It can't be helped, even though everyone is an artist and has a name and a surname in the industry.
But there are also levels of artists. Not to mention, the difference between the sculpture industry and the construction industry. In terms of social status, a few famous sculptors present are certainly not as good as Pengbai.
You must know that Peng Bai and his team belong to the world's top existence.
Usually, it only undertakes billions or tens of billions of projects.
Zhonghai Sports Center, with an investment of more than 10 or 2 billion yuan, can only be regarded as a small project.
The reason why Peng Bai followed was mainly to support the construction of his hometown.
The human factor is very large.
To be honest, this kind of project Pengbai is at most a survey site and is responsible for the control of the general direction. After that, the detailed conception and the specific design of the project were basically completed by his students and team.
In addition, everyone also knows in their hearts that in the final review link, Pengbai's attitude is undoubtedly the key.
In other words, he is the one who makes the final decision. Didn't you see a group of experts, all of whom were already sitting on the sidelines, looking like they were watching from the sidelines?
For several reasons, several sculptors naturally couldn't sit still and got up to greet each other.
"Master Han!"
"Mr. Paul......"
Peng Bai was very polite and smiling.
After a few minutes of pleasantries, everyone sat down again. There was no doubt that Peng Bai was sitting in the middle, and naturally someone next to him handed over seven folders silently.
As soon as he sat down, Peng Bai smiled at the crowd and looked down to read the papers.
All of a sudden, the entire conference room fell silent, leaving only the sound of turning pages.
Seven folders, also with no markings. Therefore, the sculptors did not know which document was their own plan, and their reactions were naturally different.
Some are calm and indifferent, some are confident, and some are nervous.
Soon after, Peng Bai read the plan, and then he pulled out three folders and put them next to him. As for the other folders, he waved his hand lightly, and naturally some people understood and gently took them away and placed them in another place.
Seeing this, several sculptors stared at each other and knew what to expect.
Of the seven proposals, only three designs impressed Pengbai and entered his eyes.
Who are these three people?
Chen Daqi stood next to the water dispenser, his eyes swept over the sculptors, speculating with interest. But when his gaze was fixed on Bai Ye's face, he couldn't help but bare his teeth.
Damn the husky, there will definitely be no him.
Chen Daqi is sure, sure, and determined.
With him, I'll ......
Fortunately, Chen Daqi's oath has not yet been issued.
Peng Bai spoke, and he smiled kindly, "Mr. Paul, your work is very thoughtful. Can you tell me a little bit about your design inspiration and where you come from?"
"Absolutely. ”
Mr. Paul stood up and smiled merrily.
He is a typical European, with deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and three-dimensional facial features. The hair is millet and styled, and it is very smart. The eyes are pale blue and gray, revealing a shrewd light.
He was in his forties and fifties, at the peak of his youth, energy, experience and inspiration.
As an expatriate, he works and lives in a foreign country, and he doesn't know how much he has suffered. Starting with washing dishes during school, and then continuing to wash dishes after graduation.
After two more years of washing dishes, he found an opportunity to become an apprentice to a master sculptor.
He was gifted and hardworking. After five years, he went from apprentice to assistant. In the end, he married Miss Qianjin (not a typo) of the master sculptor and became the son-in-law of the master sculptor.
With the support of his father-in-law, he began to emerge in the sculpture world and gradually became a master sculptor.
It is these decades of life experience that have made Mr. Paul deeply understand the importance of opportunity. Especially now, this is a great opportunity to build relationships with world-class top architects, and you must not miss it.
"Look, this is a model of my work. ”
Having lived in this country for decades, Mr. Paul's official dialect is naturally very authentic, and even has a bit of Zhonghai dialect accent.
In his bag, he took out a model of a sculpture.
The thing is not big, more than ten centimeters high, the volume is like a ball, and there is a base. But if you look closely, you find that the so-called spherical shape seems to be two figures, each with their feet spread and their hands outstretched, fighting each other.
The problem is that there are shades of color for two bodies fighting each other. The most important thing is that the two of them spread their hands and wanted to entangle each other, as if they were ...... Symbol.
"This is the inspiration I got in the Taiji diagram. ”
Mr. Paul explained with a smile: "As we all know, the stadium is mainly built for competition, but the purpose of competition is not for fighting, but for unity and harmony. ”
"In my opinion, this concept is fully demonstrated in the Taiji diagram"
Mr. Paul said: "The essence of Tai Chi is the combination of yin and yang, movement and stillness, emphasizing the unity of heaven and man, the balance of all things, harmony and perfection. ”
"So when I received the invitation, I was immediately inspired and decided to use Tai Chi as a vehicle to express the core concepts of sports competition. In the beginning, my assistant and I thought about a lot of designs and drew a lot of design drafts, but we were not satisfied with ourselves and overturned all of them. ”
"At the end of the day, I thought that the carrier of competition is people, and only when people participate in competitive sports. ”
Mr. Paul laughed, "So I designed two human figures, which are abstract figures, not concrete human figures. It is two figures, which seem to be fighting each other, but in fact, they are round like balls, and they seem to be hugging, which has the meaning of Tai Chi harmony and harmony. I want to tell you that friendship and harmony are the purpose of the movement. ”
This foreigner is very proficient in Chinese studies, and he has a set of big truths.
Bai Ye is speechless, and he has to admit it.
Under the explanation of the other party, the seemingly simple sculpture has a profound meaning.
It is no wonder that he was included in the list of candidates.
Bang bang, bang bang.
When Mr. Paul finished speaking, Peng Bai immediately clapped his hands gently, and the others also gave face and applauded.
To the applause, Mr. Paul smiled, nodded to the crowd, and sat down contentedly. He evaluates himself and does not perform badly. Next, it's up to the opponent to weigh it.
After a moment, the palm stopped.
Peng Bai rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Han Lin, what are the considerations for the design of your work?"
As expected......
Quite a few people nodded, not surprising at all.
After all, Han Lin is one of the few sculpture masters in Zhonghai.
His work, if not included in the selection, is a rare thing.
"This is my work. ”
Han Lin got up and put the model of his work on the table.
The thing is a black base, but above the base, there is a globe. A V-shaped sloping wall stands on top of the earth. Above the sloping wall, there are many statues.
Someone takes the ball to make a jumping position, which is to slam dunk.
Someone leans back and has a ball on his toes, as if he wants to take advantage of the situation.
Someone took a bayonet sword and pierced it into the air.
Someone is holding a racket and swinging it.
……
More than a dozen statues represent different movements.
Converge on the V-shaped sculpture.
The works are laid out, which can be described as easy to understand and clear at a glance.
There is no need to explain it at all, and everyone can understand the specific connotation of this sculpture.
A master is a master, and his shot is really extraordinary.
But Han Lin still explained: "The inspiration for my work mainly comes from the competitive events of the Games. Even though athletes come from different countries, we are all part of the planet, regardless of each other. ”
"The V-shaped shape represents victory. In my opinion, no matter what kind of sport it is, when it comes to competing, the most essential core is to win. Only the final victor will be able to attain the highest glory. ”
"In addition, the V-shaped shape means standing on the earth, I just want to tell you that whether it is an individual or a country, only through hard work can we be qualified to stand on the top of the earth. ”
Han Lin said meaningfully: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest." ”
He revealed the truest side of the competition, Chi Guoguo.
The crowd was silent, and sighed in their hearts.
Reality!
At the same time, they wondered in their hearts.
On the one hand, it is to promote harmony and friendship, and on the other hand, it is to proclaim victory first.
Both plans are good, how to choose?
Wait a minute......
Caught off guard, some people reacted, and there seems to be a plan.
When Peng Bai's palm pressed on the last folder, the hearts of some sculptors couldn't help but speed up, panicked and expectant.
