Chapter 1280: Sharper than a Knife
Huang Hao stood up, he was the same as Qi Haiyang, he didn't have much of a happy expression on his face.
Fifth place, this result is definitely not a success for Huang Hao, but a blow, or a very serious blow, he once swore before participating in the competition this time that he would definitely win the championship.
In the past, he was the champion of the Suzhou Jieyang Twin Cities Masters for four consecutive years, but he didn't expect to even enter the top three now.
It's no wonder that the mood can be good.
The other jade carving masters will also know his mood, after Huang Hao sat down, no one came to congratulate him, and saying congratulations at this time would definitely be salt on the wound for him.
Another cart was pushed in, and Song Lao also gave everyone enough time to react, so he continued to read.
"The sixth person to advance, Hu Yaohai!"
"Me?"
The jade carving master in Nanjing pointed to his nose in a daze, and immediately stood up.
He still opened his mouth and smiled, he was different from Huang Hao, as long as he could be promoted, it was an affirmation and a good thing.
In this jade carving master competition full of masters, being able to advance to the top ten is equivalent to leaving a name in the country, these jade carving masters are very proud, but not without self-knowledge.
Hu Yaohai smiled very happily, he is very famous in Nanjing, but compared with several masters in Suzhou, it is still a little bit worse, and he was surprised to finish sixth in today's competition.
Several jade carving masters in Suzhou glanced at him, all with a little disdain, and at the same time a little anxious.
Six people have been read out, which means that there are only four places left, and if there are no more of them in these four places, they can only pin their fate on the choice of the audience for a while, and no one has confidence in that choice.
"The seventh person to advance, Luo Ruihua!"
Song Lao's voice slowly sounded again, and Luo Ruihua stood up, his expression much calmer.
At this time, Luo Ruihua can see that Huang Hao, Heng Kai, Zhou Ye and Qi Haiyang are all people of the same level, they are all top masters of modern times, and they are the successors of the older generation.
Compared to them, I am indeed a little bit behind, and it is not so easy to achieve a good result in this Masters.
But what Luo Ruihua can't see through the most is Li Yang.
Luo Ruihua couldn't believe that Li Yang could compare with Qi Haiyang and them in such a short time, if Li Yang really reached this level, then Li Yang's progress was really terrifying.
It's too scary to believe.
But if Li Yang hadn't reached this point, he wouldn't have achieved such good results, which would have made Luo Ruihua have a great sigh in his heart, and at the same time, there was an indescribable complication.
My decades of hard work are not as good as a year's study of others, and it is unacceptable to anyone.
Luo Ruihua even thought about visiting Chen Wou-Ki tonight and asking carefully.
"The Eighth Person to Make the Cut......"
Song Lao read out slowly, and the expressions of each person who was named had different expressions, but the expressions of those who did not have their names were absolutely the same, and they were all nervous.
Ten people who were directly promoted, and soon after the reading was completed, the faces of the twenty-three people were "revealed" with disappointment, and among them there were still five places for promotion, but no one knew if such a place could fall on their heads.
"Mr. Song, I want to ask, why can Li Yang be promoted?"
As soon as Song Lao sat down, a person in the consultant seat next to him asked loudly, and many people also looked at Song Lao.
This consultant is from Taiwan, a famous master in Taiwan's jade carving industry, and his level is slightly worse than that of Song Lao, but he is a straight "character", and he will say whatever he has to say.
"That is, why was Li Yang able to advance?"
Another person asked, this time from the front row of the audience, a reporter.
Many people have seen the jade made by Li Yang this time, and in their eyes, it is impossible for Li Yang to make a promotion, let alone rank so high.
"Don't worry, the reason will be known soon!"
Song Lao smiled slightly, and the other judges also had different smiles on their faces, after announcing Li Yang's promotion, they expected such a situation to happen, but they didn't expect it to be so strong.
Ten cars had already advanced in the center of the venue, and Song Lao nodded to Qi Lao, and Qi Lao followed and stood up.
"The most important thing for us in this competition is fairness and justice, and now, we will show you the ten works that have been promoted today!"
With Qi Lao's words, the ten staff members unveiled the yellow "color" silk cloth of the ten cars.
Although it was ten, almost all of them set their sights on the second car after it was revealed, and they wanted to see Li Yang's work.
A slender jade knife with a crystal clear and bright light was quietly placed on the glass shelf.
"What's changed?"
"Didn't he not polish?"
"Even if it becomes better-looking, but this is too simple, it looks like a thin piece of jade, why can it be promoted?"
There were soon all kinds of discussions in the audience, all of which were aimed at Li Yang and this jade knife.
The jade carving masters who participated in the competition were also full of doubts, from the appearance, Li Yang's jade knife is very good-looking, but the technical "sex" is very low, in terms of good, the other nine are stronger than this jade knife, no one understands why Li Yang will achieve such a high ranking.
This will be in their hearts, and they also began to wonder if the judges helped Li Yang cheat.
Seeing is believing, and many people believe what they see, but sometimes what they see may not be true.
Qi Lao smiled and slowly left the judges' seat, he walked directly into the venue, standing in front of the first cart.
This cart is placed on Heng Kai's work, Heng Kai carved a complex water deng, water is also an ancient jade carving tool, or the most important one, but now few people use it.
This jade water is very small, but it is very exquisite, and Heng Kai cleverly arranged the uneven color on the jade material, and the whole jade water was added to a vitality, if you look closely, this jade water is like a tool at work.
This craftsmanship, this skill, has indeed reached the top.
Hong Lao and the others thought that even if they were at their peak, that is, they could make such a thing, presumably it was better, but they might not be able to do it.
This also proves that Hengkai does have the strength of a top master.
Qi Lao stood in front of the cart, constantly commenting on this item, and finally summed up, this is the first place in today's competition.
Many jade carving masters nodded silently, Heng Kai won the first place They were very convinced, even Qi Haiyang They also sighed, Heng Kai's craftsmanship is really strong, and he played well today, this jade water was carved by him to the peak, such a small jade water Deng, they can't do better than Heng Kai.
Soon, Qi Lao stood in front of the second cart again.
As soon as he stood here, countless eyes were focused on him, which made Qi Lao's heart also have a lot of emotion.
As long as it is related to Li Yang, it is definitely the most attractive, and it is not an exaggeration for Li Yang to be called the most dazzling person, and his demeanor even overshadows them as judges.
"This jade knife is also a very good work, during the competition, our twelve judges had some controversy, and finally unanimously decided that this jade knife and Yu Shui Deng are tied for the first place today!"
Qi Lao said slowly, and after speaking, he glanced at the master seat.
Heng Kai was stunned, Qi Haiyang was also stunned, Huang Hao and the others also looked at Qi Lao blankly, Li Yang's jade knife was already very surprising to them, no one expected that Li Yang's jade knife and Heng Kai's jade water were tied for the first place.
These two things are not harmonious no matter how you look at them together.
The audience also exploded, and countless people expressed their opinions, and those students reflected that they were very bland, they came to support Li Yang, and they didn't know much about jade carving.
Now that Li Yang has won the first place again, he is only happy in his heart.
"Let's be quiet for a while, I know everyone's doubts, no matter what doubts there are, I hope to talk about it later, now look at my side first!"
Qi Lao said loudly into the microphone, and after finishing speaking, he did not comment on Li Yang's jade knife, but picked up a piece of paper.
A very ordinary A4 white paper, Qi Lao held the paper in his left hand, picked up the thin blade with his right hand, and lightly scratched the paper, the white "colored" A4 paper was divided into two halves at once, and half of it fell to the ground slowly.
There was silence, and the venue became extremely silent in an instant.
Many people also opened their eyes wide, looking at Qi Lao in disbelief, this is a jade knife, not a real knife, how can it be so simple to cut a piece of paper?
"Impossible, no matter how good the jade knife is, he is not a real knife!"
Hu Yaohai screamed violently, his face full of disbelief, and several jade carving masters around him glanced at him and lowered their heads.
Jade, after all, is not iron, it is just a mineral, and it cannot be forged like iron.
It is even more impossible to make sharp knives like steel, this jade knife in Qi Lao's hand is completely beyond their common sense, just looking at the appearance of Qi Lao's cutting paper, this jade knife seems to be sharper than ordinary cutting knives.
Qi Lao didn't speak, and after glancing at the audience, he picked up the blank paper again.
This time, he directly picked up five.
The big screen was already aimed at Qi Lao's hand, and many people held their breath, they understood what Qi Lao was going to do, but there was always a strange feeling in their hearts.
Using a jade knife to cut paper, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, whoever told them about it would be laughed at by them and heard it as a joke.
Qi Lao's hand was raised, and this time he used some strength to directly take the jade knife and slash down from top to bottom.
"Z!"
The jade knife gently slashed across the five pieces of white paper, and there was a slight friction sound, and the four pieces of white paper, split in two from the middle, and the part that was cut slowly fell to the ground.
This time, the big screen was very clear, and many people looked at it stupidly.
