192 Flower Appreciation Competition

These people are obviously here to participate in the flower appreciation competition, Xu Mo glanced at it roughly, there were no less than three hundred people with flowers alone, and he didn't expect that so many people would come to participate.

Some of these people stood idle, or stopped to watch the performance on the stage, or talked to each other, or tended to their own potted plants; Others are divided into three teams and are in front of the three registration desks and are registering for the competition.

Xu Mo found a promotional poster, which marked the competition process, he took a closer look, and said that the contestants need to register here first, and then get the number plate, and then wait for the start of the competition, registration only registers the identity of the contestants, not the registration of works, that is to say, you just need to sign up, what flowers you bring or how many flowers you bring to participate in the competition, it's up to you.

Xu Mo found a small team to line up, looked at the time, it was already 1:45 minutes, there were still fifteen minutes, and there were not many people left to sign up, so it was too late.

"Yo, big brother, you have raised this pot of Tianyi lotus well!"

In front of Xu Mo was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance, he inadvertently turned around and noticed the flower in Xu Mo's hand, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said with some surprise.

Xu Mo smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, just raise it." ”

The Sven man carefully looked at the orchid in Xu Mo's hand, and his eyes became more and more surprised: "Tsk, you are too modest, this is just 'casually raised'?" Your orchid has definitely been carefully cultivated, and the variety is extremely positive, I have never seen such a well-raised orchid! ”

He said and looked down at a pot of orchids in his hand, and sighed: "I originally thought that this pot of golden sand chrysanthemum that I had worked hard for more than a year would definitely be brilliant in this flower appreciation competition. It's amazing, a little brother with him also has a pot of the best Tang phoenix feathers, both of which are good flowers that can definitely reach the finals, and now I see the big brother you pot of Tianyi lotus, it seems that this flower appreciation contest is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon......"

Listening to what the other party said, Xu Mo didn't understand much. However, when he heard the other party mention the little girl in the Netherlands with the best vegetarian crown, he guessed that most of it was Tang Yuyan, and remembered that Tang Yuyan said that her pot of flowers was worth five million, if it was not fake, it must be a star in this competition.

And Sven Young's words also attracted the attention of some people around him, many of whom paid attention to the orchids in Xu Mo's hands, and all of them were flower lovers, although they couldn't be said to be professional. But at least they all had some knowledge, and they all saw that Xu Mo's orchids were not good, and they talked about it, causing a small commotion.

"Huh? Brother Xu!! ”

At this moment, a surprised girl's voice sounded, Xu Mo followed the sound, and saw Tang Yuyan walking over from the crowd not far away, still holding his Suguan Netherlands in his arms. With a surprised expression on her face, it was hard for a little girl to hold such a pot of flowers all day long. Even if it's not heavy, it won't be easy.

And next to Tang Yuyan, there was a handsome young man, it was Yang Yunyu, who was actually holding a pot of orchids in his hand, and it looked quite unusual.

Although Xu Mo didn't have much research on orchids, he had done a little homework before. In particular, I checked the information of some orchids, and recognized that the pot of flowers in Yang Yunyu's hand was called Tang Fengyu.

Yang Yunju was also a little surprised when he saw Xu Mo, but there was a trace of vigilance hidden behind the surprise, of course. Needless to say, he knew that there must still be anger in his heart.

Xu Mo nodded to Tang Yuyan: "Miss Tang." ”

"Just call me Tang Yuyan." Tang Yuyan smiled cheerfully, looked at Xu Mo and said, "Brother Xu, I didn't expect you to come to participate in the Flower Appreciation Competition!" You're so cunning, you didn't tell me before! ”

"Uh......" Xu Mo didn't know what this had to do with 'cunning', and said casually, "I'm just here to have a good time, and there's nothing to say." ”

"Join in the fun?" Tang Yuyan squinted at the orchid in Xu Mo's hand, then raised her eyebrows, looked up at Xu Mo in surprise, and pretended to be angry, "Still lying, this pot of Tianyi lotus you brought is obviously the best, I think it's not worse than my Suguan Netherlands!" Okay, I can't imagine that Brother Xu, you are actually a real person without showing your face, and you are also a master of raising flowers? ”

Xu Mo said helplessly: "I'm really just a half-baked flower lover, this pot of flowers is actually not mine, a friend of mine asked me to help him bring it to the competition." ”

Tang Yuyan said suspiciously: "Then why didn't your friend come by himself?" And please? ”

"He's got something else to do." Xu Mo glanced back as he spoke, and said, "Okay, it's my turn, I'll register first, and we'll talk later." ”

With that, he turned around and walked to the registration office, filled out a form under the instructions of the staff, and then took a number plate that read '168' - the number was quite auspicious.

The registration here is coming to an end, and the performance on the stage next to it is the same, at this time, the song ended, and the audience erupted into a burst of thunderous applause and cheers, the music gradually stopped, Liu Feifei on the stage said a few words to the audience, and then the host came to the stage to announce the end of the performance.

"Friends, did our Fei Fei sing well just now?"

The host asked loudly on the stage, and the following was naturally a tsunami-like response: "Okay!! ”

"Do you want to hear it?"

"Yes!!"

"I want to too!! It's a pity that it won't work for the time being, because Fei Fei is also a little tired, and it's time for us to appreciate the flowers next, but don't be disappointed, because in the next competition, you can also see Fei Fei, she will continue to interact with you as one of the judges of this flower appreciation competition! And during the competition, there is also her passionate performance as a spice! Let's look forward to our flower appreciation contest and Feifei's wonderful performance!! ”

The host said something again, and the audience below cheered.

Next, the host interacted with the audience on stage for a while, mobilizing everyone's emotions, and at the same time skillfully introducing the flower appreciation competition, shifting everyone's attention from the star to the competition.

During this time, the stage was busily set up by a staff member, with a row of tables and chairs set up on one side. Put on the fruit plate, drinks, microphones, name tags, and other things, and soon the judges' seats for the flower appreciation contest will be set up for a while.

"Okay, now that our competition venue has been arranged, let us welcome the organizer of this flower appreciation contest and the representative of the organizer of this flower festival with the warmest applause. Mr. Yang Qinlin made the opening speech of the competition!! ”

After the host finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked onto the stage, took the microphone and began to speak.

At the same time, Xu Mo and a group of contestants here were also arranged to move to the backstage direction, divided into different batches according to the number plate, and prepared for the preliminary competition for a while, Xu Mo and Tang Yuyan also had no time to continue chatting, and they separated.

Xu Mo followed a group of people to stay in the temporary factory area behind the right side of the stage, and he couldn't see the situation on the stage. I just heard that the organizer announced the start of the competition without saying too long, and then the judges came on the stage, and the host introduced them one by one.

They are the presidents of the associations, the chairmen of the groups, and the senior consultants of the flower planting base.

"The next one, but a rare guest of honor, is the one we have to invite from the capital with great effort, and it is the vice president of the Orchid Branch of our China Flower Association - Mr. Tang Tiande! Warm welcome everyone!! ”

"Huh?" When he heard the host's introduction, Xu Mo couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously glanced up at the direction where Tang Yuyan was. found that Tang Yuyan also happened to look at him, and smiled mischievously. Then put a finger in front of his mouth and signal him to keep it secret.

- It turns out that Mr. Tang still has such an identity, no wonder Tang Yuyan can raise such a precious orchid, but his grandfather is a judge and still brings flowers to the competition. Aren't you afraid that others will say that there is a shady scene?

At the end of the introduction of the judges outside, it was Liu Feifei, compared with the previous six, she was the least 'professional' in flower appreciation, but she received the most applause - no way. Star effect.

"That's it! Presumably everyone is a little anxious like me, so next, I won't talk nonsense, just start our preliminary round, and see what beautiful, beautiful, precious and rare flowers we can see today! ”

"Before inviting our contestants to the stage, I would like to briefly introduce to you the rules of the preliminaries, in order to save time, we will divide all the contestants into groups of ten, each time a group of contestants will bring their favorite flowers to the stage, and our judges will jointly judge which flowers can enter the next round, and the rest will be eliminated."

"If the eliminated contestants have any objections, they can raise them on the spot, and our judges will make comments and answer questions."

"So, now it's time to invite our first group of contestants to the stage with their love flowers!!"

With the announcement of the host, a piece of music was played in the stereo, and the audience also gave a burst of applause, and then saw a group of people walking out of the right side of the stage, wearing number plates from 1 to 10, each holding a pot of flowers of different colors and varieties in their hands.

After the host said a few words to enliven the atmosphere, he handed over the scene to several judges, who each observed the flowers and potted plants on the field, and then wrote the number that decided to advance on the small question board in front of them, and then communicated with each other, unified their opinions, and Tang Tiande in the middle gave the final result.

In the first round, four people were promoted, and six people were eliminated, and after the results were announced, there was a burst of discussion in the audience, and everyone basically watched a lively discussion, discussing which flower was what flower, and why the pot of flowers looked beautiful and why it was eliminated.

The first group went down, followed by the second group, and then the third group......

The preliminary round was carried out in an orderly manner, not slowly, and the groups of various flowers made the audience overwhelmed, but it did not seem boring.

The elimination rate of each group is maintained at more than fifty percent, and there seems to be a trend of stricter and stricter in the back, and when it reaches more than 100, there is even a group that is all eliminated.

Because the judges only randomly commented on the flowers that were eliminated, everyone still doesn't know what is good about the flowers that have been promoted, and they retain a sense of mystery.

Finally, it was Xu Mo's turn to be in the group, when he arrived on the stage, Tang Tiande on the judges' bench couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and when he saw the flower in Xu Mo's hand, he was even more surprised, and looked at him several times, but quickly calmed down.

As a result, Xu Mo naturally made the cut, and he noticed that other judges except Tang Tiande also paid more attention to his flowers, even Liu Feifei, who didn't know much about flower appreciation, after all, even if he didn't know how to appreciate flowers, he could still see whether a flower was good or not, Xu Mo's flowers were obviously much better than others in the same group.

Although the judging speed of each group is very fast, after all, there are many people, and it took nearly an hour and a half to complete the first round of preliminaries.

The audience was also a little tired, but fortunately, the competition party arranged it very smartly, and during the short break after the preliminaries, Liu Feifei was invited to sing a song to liven up the atmosphere, and the audience suddenly became energetic again.

More than two-thirds of the people were eliminated in the first round, and only sixty-two people entered the second round, but it was not a few, and after the second round, only ten people could make it to the finals, or rather, ten flowers.

The second round still adopts the same method as the first round, but it is changed to a group of five people taking turns on the stage, but not directly eliminated, but first scoring each pot of entries, and the final top ten will enter the finals, and the judges will carefully appreciate and determine the final ranking.

Each group on stage, after scoring, two judges will be randomly invited to comment on an entry, so that the audience knows what are the benefits or disadvantages of the work, and some judges will also estimate the price by the way, which is the part that the audience prefers, whenever they hear which pot of flowers is worth tens of thousands, it can cause a burst of amazement, and hundreds of thousands are even more excited, but the judges did not comment on the flowers worth more than 500,000, obviously to save these surprises to the end.

Xu Mo's flower was not commented on, but after the final results of the second round were announced, he was on the promotion list.

At the end of the second round, Liu Feifei's song was still a transition, and the final finals began.

The remaining ten contestants, each with a pot of flowers, are all in the spotlight, people who understand flowers talk about how good these flowers are, and those who don't understand the content of the discussion is simple, that is, how much these flowers are worth.

At the beginning of the finals, each contestant came to the stage alone with his own flowers, and directly brought them to the judges for appreciation, and at the same time could make a self-statement.

All ten people redistributed the number plates, and they came to the stage in turn from the first to the tenth, and Xu Mo got the number eight.

When one person came on stage, the others were arranged under the stage, and there were seats, Xu Mo sat on the chair casually, put the flowers at his feet, and watched the judges on the stage comment on the flowers with great interest.

Among the ten pots of flowers that entered the finals, half were orchids, and half were other precious flowers, and some had never even heard of Xu Mo.

Like most of the people present, Xu Mo actually didn't understand the so-called artistic conception of flower appreciation, the purpose of his coming was actually to sell flowers for money, so the most concerned was the value, the first pot of flowers was estimated by the judges at 800,000, the second pot was 500,000, and the third pot reached 1.5 million.

The exclamations from the audience came and went, and a small pot of flowers was worth tens or even millions, which was unimaginable in the eyes of many people.

Xu Mo also has a bottom in his heart, he sees that the three pots of flowers don't seem to be as good as his own, it seems that his flowers should be able to sell for a good price. (To be continued......)
