Chapter 1269: The Contest Begins
Jieyang Gymnasium, this day can be said to be crowded.
The publicity that preceded the inaugural National Jade Carving Masters paid off, with more than 10,000 people coming to watch the competition, most of them in the jade industry.
Pingzhou alone, hundreds of people came this time, and more than 2,000 people from Yunnan province heard about it.
This is also a grand event of the jade carving industry, many people engaged in the jade carving industry seem to be very moving, in the past, such a lively thing, but it belongs to the gambling stone market, or the jade expo ォ have.
This is a grand event that truly belongs to their jade carving industry.
"There are so many people!"
Li Yang, who had already arrived at the venue and was in the large conference room of the gymnasium, looked at the people in the square outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
The audience hasn't arrived yet, but it's a spectacle of the thousands of people gathered together.
"The Jade Association has finally done one thing right this time, we really shouldn't have done it behind closed doors before!"
Huang Hao walked to Li Yang's side and said slowly, he had the same deep emotion as Li Yang.
In the past, the Suzhou Jieyang Twin Cities Masters has never been open to the public, but only the people in their own circle participated, although they have made progress, but the general environment has not changed.
This time, the Jade Association took the lead in expanding the Twin Cities Masters, which has truly become a grand event in the jade carving industry, which can be regarded as a good thing.
"How's it going, do you feel stage fright?"
Li Yang looked at Huang Hao with a smile, there were a lot of people in the large conference room, and they were all gathered in groups, they were all jade carving masters who came to participate in the competition.
These people are usually scattered all over the place, and they all have a certain reputation in the local area, and there is only such an opportunity to bring them together.
"I'm still going to have stage fright at such an age, you better take care of yourself first, you young people can't compare to us!"
Huang Hao's voice increased a little, he was indeed much older than Li Yang, speaking of which, Li Yang was the youngest person in this Masters Tournament.
"Do you think I'm going to have stage fright?"
Li Yang laughed, Huang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.
Li Yang has never seen any scenes, it is really not easy to make him stage frightened, when Li Yang took the jade seal of the country, he didn't face tens of thousands of people.
"Mr. Li, I heard that you are representing Beijing and Jieyang in the competition this time?"
Zhou Ye walked over, Huang Hao immediately turned his head away, Huang Hao's prejudice against Zhou Ye was from the heart, and it was really not easy for him to change.
"Yes, I live in Beijing, but there is also an industry in Jieyang, so that's all!"
Li Yang smiled and nodded, after he made this suggestion the day before yesterday, Song Lao and Chen Wuji discussed it, and finally agreed.
Song Lao understands very well that it is impossible for Li Yang to completely represent Beijing, and he will not agree to such a thing, why should the apprentices I have cultivated represent you in the competition.
Chen Wou-Ki also considered that the situation in Beijing this year is really not good, and Li Yang really lives in Beijing, and his time in Beijing is much longer than in Jieyang.
In addition, Chen Wou-Ki also considered that Li Yang, representing Beijing, would be able to quickly establish his own prestige and even become the leader of Beijing's side if he achieved good results.
In the jade carving industry, prestige is very important, there is no first, there is no second, the jade carving industry is the same, if the level is about the same, no one is convinced, especially a young person like Li Yang, it is not easy to get the recognition of others.
This Masters is an opportunity for Li Yang to use his strength to subdue many people.
"You're the only dual citizen among so many of our contestants, and I just heard others talking about it!"
Zhou Ye smiled, Li Yang represented the two places in the competition, which did cause a whirlwind.
However, many people are not optimistic about Li Yang, and there are a lot of gossips, mainly because Li Yang is too young, and he has achieved so many achievements at such a young age, which makes many people jealous and red-eyed.
Even a master can have pink eye.
"It's okay, whatever they want!"
Li Yang chuckled, and when he spoke, the gymnasium had already begun to enter, and after the audience entered, it was the opening ceremony, and then it was their turn to perform on stage.
This Masters has attracted a lot of attention.
The senior president of the China Treasure Association, the National Sculpture Association and some important international organizations have sent people to participate.
Guangdong also sent a vice governor, Jieyang is the municipal party committee xxx, the mayor is all present, this time the masters are set in Jieyang, but also made a good advertising here.
There were a lot of people coming, but the opening ceremony was not long, and this time the Jade Association had a good grasp.
After the opening ceremony,ォ began to introduce all the judges,This time there are a total of twelve judges,Chen Wou-Ki is the first judge,When he stood up,The audience gave a very warm applause。
As the only master in the jade carving world, Chen Wou-Ki can also be said to be the pride of all his peers, and it is also the goal of many self-motivated people.
"Let's get out!"
Finally when it was time for the master to play, Huang Hao smiled and looked at Li Yang beside him, his eyes were a little complicated.
He knew that this little junior brother had little luck, and he also knew that he had a good talent, but after all, the time he had been in contact with jade carving was too short, as short as only one year.
One year, at this time, he was still learning the basics, but he already had the strength to participate in the Masters.
This is equivalent to Li Yang going through his journey for decades in a year, and there is really no way to compare people.
He thought of his master Hong Lao again, Hong Lao could be regarded as a blind eye this time, Hong Lao thought that letting Li Yang learn jade carving was to distract Li Yang's experience, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Now everyone understands how hot Chen Wouji's eyes are, and he has unearthed such a demonic genius, in terms of eyesight, none of them are as good as Chen Wouji.
After all the people entered, Chen Wou-Ki stood up directly, and after the people in the venue saw Chen Wou-ki, many of the people who spoke quieted down, which can also show Chen Wou-ki's terrifying influence.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the process of participating in the competition has just been said, I will not talk about it in detail, I will present you with ten jade carving works, these works are of different materials, different times, you just need to say the advantages and disadvantages, and please mention your own spirit for a while, don't desert!"
"Haha!"
As soon as Chen Wou-Ki's words fell, many people in the audience burst out laughing, and their laughter was not small, and some of the participating masters began to frown.
The noise is not small, and this time the noise is also a big difficulty for them, and some people who like to be quiet have a lot to lose compared to others.
Only a few people were smiling all the time, oblivious to the noise around them.
Li Yang is one of them, and Li Yang is focusing on one of them.
This person is Qi Haiyang, Qi Lao'er, the new leader of Hetian, and the new top master.
Qi Haiyang is younger than Huang Hao, and he is also a relatively young one among the masters, only forty-three years old this year, at this time Qi Haiyang is wearing a black sè collarless long-sleeved shirt, black shoes and black ku, and his clothes are very simple, but he looks very spiritual.
Qi Haiyang carried it with one hand, and he was also looking around, and when Li Yang looked at him, he also glanced at Li Yang, and smiled at Li Yang friendly.
He knew that Li Yang's ability to gamble on stones was very strong, and he also knew that Li Yang's contact with jade carving was very short, and it was a rare time in a thousand years, but he didn't know Li Yang's current strength.
In his eyes, Li Yang is still in the past, just a new jade carving master, and the gap between such a jade carving master and a senior master, as well as a top master like him, is very big.
Like Huang Hao, he just thought that Li Yang was here to feel the atmosphere, learn from experience, and go through the motions, and he didn't regard Li Yang as an opponent.
It is possible that Li Yang will not be able to survive the first two rounds.
The competition began, and someone pushed the first jade carving work over, which is not a small Lantian jade ornament, which is a famous work in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and even Li Yang did not expect that the first jade carving work was taken out of ancient jade.
All the people were not talking, looking at this jade carving carefully, they had to quickly analyze the quality of the jade carving, and then make a summary.
Two staff members walked in front of each participating master with a cart, and the people in the audience stopped talking, quietly looking down.
On the big screen of the stadium, the moving jade carving was also tracked.
The jade carvings that were pushed out did not stop at all, and after turning around everyone for a while, they left directly, and some of the participating masters began to close their eyes and carefully recall their observations.
They have to write down all the advantages and disadvantages.
"Here we go again!"
Some people's eyes haven't been closed for long, they heard the shouts of people around them, many people hurriedly opened their eyes, just after the two carts left, sure enough, a new cart came in, and there was also a jade carving work on the cart.
This time, the jade carving work is a Hetian jade ornament, and the volume is not small, and soon the cart will be in front of the participating masters.
These participating masters are not stupid, they felt bad when they saw the second cart, many of them had a little pale faces, and some people hurriedly wrote something on the table in front of them.
These participating masters also did not expect that today's ten jade carving works are continuously launched, continuous and separate are definitely two different things, continuous launch, they must continue to observe, no time to think and sort out, originally some sure masters, this will also begin to mysterious.
At this time, they finally understood why Chen Wouji reminded them not to desert their minds, in this case, they really can't get distracted, and if they get distracted, they will be in trouble.
The Masters, or the first Masters, is not as easy as imagined.
The second jade carving work quickly walked by everyone's side, and the third piece was directly pushed out, this time it was a jade ornament, and it was also an old thing, a jade carving in the late Qing Dynasty.
The first three jade carvings, two old things, one new one, and the three jade carvings all walked through in front of the participating masters, and none of them lasted more than ten minutes.
