Chapter 191: The whole world learns Chinese painting
The theme of this year's Hanbo Award International Youth Design Competition is Chinese painting.
Every year, the organizer of the Hanbo Award will give a design theme.
Then the contestants will design their works according to the theme requirements, and each series will have 3-4 sets, not much.
It must also have distinctive characteristics of the times and culture, unique style, fine production, and complete clothing and accessories.
Each year's design theme is different, but most of them are designed to promote Chinese culture.
Compared with the "Chinese style" of the Fashion Institute, the requirements of Chinese painting are more specific, and the scope is also much narrower.
Chinoiserie is a general term that can be regarded as Chinese as long as it is a Chinese element.
There are also a lot of jokes in this, for the sake of the domestic luxury market, some Western luxury brands try to curry favor with Chinese consumers, and often launch some special styles in response to the occasion.
For example, the British luxury brand Burberry once launched a Spring Festival limited edition scarf, embroidered with the big red word "Fu" on its signature coffee, beige and black checkered patterns, apparently to cater to the Chinese love for "good color head".
As long as you show a "Chinese blessing" on the scarf, it is Chinese style, it is so simple and rude.
Of course, this simple and rough design is not only Burberry, Hermes has launched a Birkin bag printed with a 5-star red flag, and Gucci has also launched a "Spring Festival Limited Red" handbag.
Anyway, sticking Chinese characters can be counted as Chinese-style design, so the range of this thing is really wide.
However, Chinese painting is different, and the scope of design is basically limited.
Although it limits the imagination of the contestants, it is also hoped that the contestants will design new ideas in the elements of Chinese painting.
Chinese painting, this is a concept to the outside world.
At least for foreigners, they talk about Chinese painting, and if they Chinese, they generally call themselves Chinese painting.
In ancient times, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were called the four arts, and one of the four arts, "painting", refers to Chinese painting.
On a par with Chinese painting, Western oil painting.
As long as art students are no strangers to these.
Chinese painting can be roughly divided into figures, landscapes, boundary paintings, flowers, melons and fruits, feathers, animals, insects and fishes, and other painting disciplines.
However, the public distinguishes between Chinese paintings, but they are not so professional, basically landscape paintings, flower and bird paintings are the most familiar Chinese paintings.
There are many elements in Chinese painting, and similarly, there are many classic Chinese paintings.
There are even more works in fashion design that use Chinese painting as an element.
Before the fashion institute set up a big show, Han Bailing's "Birds and Flowers" series and Sun Xu's "Between Mountains and Rivers" are all Chinese paintings.
Similarly, Lin Zhengrong's "Bamboo Rhyme" is also a Chinese painting.
Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, using the painting technique of Chinese painting, this is also Chinese painting.
The four major elements of Chinese painting are "poetry, calligraphy, painting, and sealing", and each element can become the design itself.
However, if you want to integrate the elements of Chinese painting into the design, you must have a good understanding of Chinese painting.
Therefore, it is also useful for the organizers of the Hanbo Award to set the design theme as Chinese painting.
Because this year is the first year of Chinese style, the entire China International Fashion Week is held around this theme.
Chinese painting, for foreigners, is somewhat unfamiliar, but for designers from domestic colleges and universities, the most familiar, everyone is an art candidate, how to paint Chinese painting, will be contacted, even if not proficient, but for the elements involved are not unfamiliar at all.
For Lin Zhengrong, he is even more familiar, in his previous life, he was a student of Chinese painting at the China Academy of Art.
If you want to say that among the 25 contestants who entered the finals, if you want to talk about who knows Chinese painting best, it must be him, but it does not mean that if you understand Chinese painting, you will definitely be able to design excellent fashion, because this thing needs to involve a lot of things, in addition to art design, process design, and structural design.
Sometimes, it is also an innovation to incorporate new materials and high-tech into old designs.
It can even bring about a kind of disruption.
Lin Zhengrong really has nothing to look forward to for his works, because his works have already been completed when the big show was completed, and now participating in the Hanbo Award is more of a fried cold rice.
Although there is a requirement for the Hanbo Award: the entries must be personal original works that have not been publicly expressed, but the school has helped him deal with this problem.
It has not been publicly distributed, and this article is no longer in compliance with strict regulations.
However, there is nothing wrong with personal original works.
Of course, if you really dig deeper, you can also go along with the regulations.
Even if you don't say that the three judges jointly recommended it, even if the works that he had previously participated in the Hanbo Award and were brushed off in the primary selection are also "bamboo rhyme", I don't know if there is a fixed number in the dark, anyway, things were born by such coincidence.
It's no longer interesting to dwell on this, and there is no way to change his works too much except for the costumes and accessories.
So during the entire Hanbo Award, he had no way to pay attention to his works.
Most of the time I focus on the other players.
The Hanbo Award is called the "International Youth Design Competition", at least the finalists are indeed from all over the world.
There are young designers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as contestants from various countries in the Confucian cultural circle, and there are also many contestants from Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Compared with European and American designers, if they really want to make a name for themselves, they will basically set their goals at the Big Four, rather than at China International Fashion Week.
Most of the other foreign contestants are international students in China, or lovers of Chinese culture, otherwise it would be too difficult for a group of foreigners to understand what Chinese painting is.
Among the 25 finalists, Lin Zhengrong didn't know most of them, no, it can be said that except for one guy, he didn't know any other players.
He is the only student in the entire Fashion Institute, and in addition, there is not a single student in the same class, but there is one student in the previous class, and that is Wang Guodong.
This is a guy who impresses Lin Zhengrong.
In the previous grievances between him and Lee Ming-che, the other party played a very important role.
Because Lee Ming-che's competition work, the dragon totem, is from his handwriting.
Of course, this is just speculation, even if Lin Zhengrong picked up the other party's completed works from the official website of the European Fashion Institute, where the other party was a graduate student, and then published them on the Internet, causing a large wave of condemnation from netizens.
The other party also did not admit to ghostwriting, oh, it should be said that he was a gunman.
At most, it is an acknowledgment that Lee Ming-che's works were guided by him, and at most there is a phenomenon of over-borrowing.
The official definition of the Costume Institute also acknowledges this statement.
This is also the result of the official handling of Lee Ming-che's plagiarized works.
Borrowing too much.
Therefore, because the controversy was too big, the qualification for the silver award of the Bi Shi Da Show was cancelled, and the other party was asked to immediately make up for the Bi Shi works.
This matter is also a foregone conclusion.
After all, Li Mingzhe's Lao Tzu is still the vice president of the Fashion Institute, and no one can deny this.
The fact that the vice dean's son used his father's authority to bully ordinary students questioned by netizens was directly downplayed by the Fashion Institute.
Even, when it comes to destroying Lin Zhengrong's works, except for Wu Zhihao, an unlucky guy who was expelled from school, the other guys are all punished with major demerits.
The treatment of Lee Ming-che is also not painful.
Of course, these are all official handling opinions, and in private, this matter still has a lot of impact.
At least Lee Ming-che wanted to get a place to study at St. Martin's in vain, not only could he not be able to worship under John Weaver, but he also decided to guarantee the qualification of the fashion institute to other famous foreign fashion design schools.
In this way, if he wants to go to a famous foreign university to study, he will rely on his own ability.
Of course, these problems are not a problem at all for him, who has a vice president, but at least, the reputation of this product in the fashion academy has already stinked.
Within a year or two, it will be somewhat difficult to get along in the domestic fashion circle.
Anyway, the news that Lin Zhengrong learned was that after the ghostwriting incident broke out, Li Mingzhe was sent abroad by his son Li Hongyi.
As for going to study abroad or going on vacation, it is unknown.
Anyway, this thing is a thing of the past for him.
However, just when he was about to forget about this goods, Wang Guodong, a guy who had nothing to do with him, suddenly encountered him at the finals of the Hanbo Award.
If he met each other for the first time in the Art Building of the Fashion Institute, Wang Guodong looked arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all, then this time they met, the other party's face became much more exciting.
Even the face is full of gloom.
As for the gloomy reason, Lin Zhengrong somewhat understood, not only because Li Mingzhe was deprived of his place to study abroad, but also because the position of lecturer at the fashion college he wanted to seek was completely lost.
He had come back from studying in Italy and wanted to teach at the Fashion Institute.
However, except for the Lee Ming-che ghostwriting incident, whether it is a transitional reference or not, or he himself ghostwrote.
This incident has had a very bad impact on him.
Cutting off someone's future is like killing one's parents.
It's not just talking, it's a bit of a hatred here anyway.
It's just that Lin Zhengrong really didn't expect to meet each other here.
As for the other party's teaching at the Fashion Institute, Lin Zhengrong didn't know it before, and he secretly told Lin Zhengrong about it when Li Li met the other party backstage in the show.
If you want to say who is the person with the most complicated feelings, it must not be Lin Zhengrong, but Li Li.
When Wang Guodong was studying at the Fashion Institute before, he had a very good relationship with chestnuts.
Even if the other party still keeps in touch with Chestnut during his study abroad, otherwise, when he returns to China, he will not make an appointment with Chestnut Grain for the first time.
In addition to Wang Guodong, there is also Li Datong.
They all have a very good relationship with chestnut.
If it weren't for Lin Zhengrong's accident, Chestnut's relationship with them might have been closer.
There's no way, who made the class leader so popular.
However, there was an extra Lin Zhengrong between them.
I don't know if I love the house and Wu, or if I don't help my relatives, or for whatever reason, anyway, after giving birth to Li Mingzhe, Li Li left some distance with Wang Guodong and them.
But not to the point of turning the other cheek.
Even if there was a ghostwriting incident, Chestnut didn't turn his face with the other party, at best, it was to distance themselves from each other.
But no matter what, when he met Wang Guodong early, Li Li still habitually called Senior Guodong.
Being able to make the class leader obediently call out to the senior shows that in her heart, she still respects Wang Guodong very much.
Actually, this phenomenon is quite normal.
Excellent seniors will always attract the admiration and love of students.
This was not said by Lin Zhengrong.
It was summed up by senior sister Jiang Yue.
Before, when Li Li greeted Wang Guodong, Lin Zhengrong teased, "This voice is really kind." ”
Chestnut said get out.
Jiang Yue interjected, "Excellent seniors, of course, will attract the attention of juniors. ”
Then when Li Li's face turned red, she turned crooked at the right time and guided the topic to Lin Zhengrong's body, "For example, Xie Anqi and a few of their junior sisters, they especially worship and like you, before in the background, two out of three sentences are inseparable from you, and they have not talked to us about underwear in Allure, saying that Lin Zhengrong is handsome." ”
Lin Zhengrong said at that time, "What about you, senior sister?"
Of course, Jiang Yue didn't care about his jokes, and said with a smile on the spot, "I also like to worship you, the kind of five-body throwing." ”
Then the chestnut directly threw a white eye, "Lin Zhengrong, you can die." ”
The latter sentence was not spoken, but Lin Zhengrong had already seen it very clearly from her gaze, that is, dare to tease the senior sister in front of the old lady, you are finished.
Well, that's a brain supplement.
Lin Zhengrong would not be so idiotic as to continue to die, so he had to change the topic, "To be honest, squad leader, I'm curious, you have such a good relationship with Wang Guodong, why didn't you hesitate at that time, and stood on our side?"
This, to be honest, had always been curious about him before.
Excellent seniors all worship excellent seniors, this is not just talking, Lin Zhengrong agrees with it from the bottom of his heart, this is a very normal phenomenon.
In school, especially in college, whether it is a top student or those influential figures, they are very popular with little girls.
Because in them, it is easy to see that they are better than their peers.
This kind of excellence is not only in learning, but even if they have literary and artistic specialties or seniors who serve as student leaders in school, they are all better than their peers.
This kind of excellence, naturally, will have a natural attraction to the opposite sex.
This is also the reason why some seniors who are good-looking will target elementary school girls.
Good chase.
Well, it's easy to deceive.
Anyway, having said so much, it proves that Li Li has a good relationship with Wang Guodong.
