Chapter 47: The Battle for the Gold Medal
Su Ho, who was still excited about being shortlisted just now, began to suffer from gains and losses at this time, she stared nervously at Liu Guangya who read out the results, different from what she was expecting to hear the names of herself and Fang Yang just now, at this time Su Ho was praying in her heart not to read Fang Yang and herself, because this means that she can get a bronze award at the very least.
Seeing Soho's appearance, Fang Yang couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement. He is very sure in his heart that unless the judges' brains are in water or there is something shady, these two works will not only win an excellence award. And today, Master Bai Yan is in charge in person, Fang Yang's heart is even more determined, he believes that with the teacher's vision, he will never miss those two works.
Sure enough, until Liu Guangya finished reading the list of winners in his hand, the names of Fang Yang and Soho were not read. This means that both works are in the top 10, and they can at least win the bronze award.
"Yay!" Soho clenched his pink fist and cheered softly, with a look of joy on his face.
The look on the face of Director Lu Qiushi in the front row also eased a little, because just now there were three students' works from Southeast Normal University that were selected as Excellence Awards, and there were only two people in Rong University, in addition to Fang Yang and Su Ho, Shen Tufan's works also successfully entered the top ten.
In this way, Southeast Normal University and Rongcheng University occupy three of the top ten seats, which can be said to be evenly divided. As for the excellence award of Shaodongnan Normal University, it is harmless, this award is originally chicken ribs. Now it depends on which side has a higher level of award in the next selection. Especially the Gold Award, there is only one award, and if any school wins the gold award, it is definitely the most popular, even if there are fewer other awards, it will not matter.
And Hu Lizhong, the dean of the School of Arts of Southeast Normal University, who is sitting next to him, is still there, but he is not frustrated because this link is equivalent to three people being eliminated, because his optimistic works, especially Yan Huiming's ink landscapes, which are very promising to hit the gold medal, have all entered the top ten, Hu Lizhong firmly believes that this year's gold medal must still be from Southeast Normal University, and eighty percent of them were won by Yan Huiming. Thinking that he had the hope of knocking out his old rival Rongcheng University for three consecutive years, Hu Lizhong's eyes were also eager.
Yan Huiming, who was also shortlisted for the top 15, was not thinking about the competition at the moment, he was looking at his mobile phone, and the deputy director of the Rongda Police Station had just sent him some of Fang Yang's information with a text message. According to the data, Fang Yang's household registration was transferred from Nanpu County in northern Fujian to Rongcheng Zhonglou District because of enrollment, and the family relationship is also very simple, his father has died, and his mother's name is Han Xuehua, a vegetable farmer in the suburbs of the county, nothing more.
Yan Huiming's face suddenly became gloomy, he was almost frightened just now, dare to love this kid is really a poor ** silk!
Although Xiaowen's attitude towards Fang Yang just now Yan Huiming was seen with his own eyes, he was already paranoid at the moment that Fang Yang and Leng Junfei knew each other just by chance, with his family background and strength, it was impossible for Leng to have a deep friendship with him!
All of a sudden, Yan Huiming's previous worries were all gone, and hatred began to rise slowly.
The relationship between Fang Yang and Soho is not simple, Yan Huiming is not a fool, so it can naturally be seen.
And just now, he made a mess of himself, and apologized to Fang Yang in a low manner, and he lost a lot of people in front of Soho, and Yan Huiming also recorded this account on Fang Yang's body as a matter of course.
Therefore, although the competition is not over yet, Yan Huiming is already thinking about how to give Fang Yang an unforgettable lesson after the event.
Yan Huiming, a gentleman who looks polite on the surface, is not so simple in private. Through the name of his uncle, the director of public security, he really got to know a lot of people in society, and he was ruthless when dealing with enemies. Yan Huiming once beat up a classmate because he was jealous, and found an excuse to send him to the detention center and detained him for a few days. Although it turned out that his classmate was innocent, he was frightened and applied to withdraw from school and return to his hometown as soon as he left the detention center.
No matter what Yan Huiming thinks in his heart, the selection activities are still going on.
The Excellence Award has been announced, but the award presentation will be held by the last 50 people. Therefore, after announcing the results, the expert group directly began the evaluation of the gold, silver and bronze awards.
At this time, the experts are much more cautious, because the remaining ten works are all selected among the best in the big waves, and the so-called Wen Wu is the first, and if you really want to distinguish a high level in these ten works, it will test the experts' eyesight. Because this is a live broadcast, countless pairs of eyes are staring at it, maybe the audience is not as professional as the expert, but who is good and who is bad everyone has their own standards in their hearts, if the result is too outrageous, then the expert is smashing his own signboard.
At this stage, there are also more debates among experts, of course, mainly focusing on a few works that are generally recognized as high standards. These arguments were also transmitted to the ears of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV through the microphone in front of the experts.
"I think this "Seven Laws of the Long March" is very good, although it imitates the style of the chairman, but it is magnificent, and the whole article gives people a sense of incisiveness!"
"Lao Xu, I don't agree with your point of view, this calligraphy is too strong, can't be put on the table, I think this "Dotted Lips" level is very high, the handwriting is delicate and delicate, look at the words and read people, at a glance, you know that the writer must be a girl with a blue heart, and this character is quite Cai Wenji's style, very rare!"
The person who spoke was He Ping, the president of the Southeast Provincial Calligraphers Association, everyone was a literati, and they were not polite at all, and they had no scruples about being on the live broadcast at all. He first criticized the painting that Lao Xu admired mercilessly, and then praised the "Dotted Lips" under the name of Soho, and did not hesitate to praise it.
However, "Dotted Lips" is indeed of a very high level, and as soon as He Ping said this, he immediately received the support of several experts, but Master Bai Yan took a deep look at the words and did not comment.
As soon as he heard the comments of the experts on the stage, Su Ho couldn't help but smile, glanced at Fang Yang, leaned over to Fang Yang's lips and chuckled:
"Little girl, the expert is praising you for your blue heart! Hee-hee......"
"Is it good for me to call it a fake mess? If you think that I can even be blindfolded by experts, it means that my level is much higher than that of experts! Fang Yang said cheekily.
In fact, as soon as Fang Yang saw Master Bai Yan's expression, he knew that the master had already seen that this character was not from a woman's hand. The teacher's vision is so vicious, no matter how strong Fang Yang's copying skills are, he can't escape his eyes.
The experts on the field were arguing, and the audience below also listened with relish. Especially for the students whose works were shortlisted for the top 10, whenever the experts mentioned their works, they were nervous and excited.
Gradually, the opinions of experts converged. This is mainly because Master Bai Yan played the role of Dinghai Shen Needle, he did not speak lightly, but whenever someone had a dispute over a certain work, Master Bai Yan would make a timely and point-to-point comment.
It is often as soon as Master Bai Yan comments, the two sides of the dispute immediately die down, after all, the old man is highly respected, and what he said is indeed on the point, which is very reasonable, and people have to be convinced.
"Okay, thank you to the experts present for bringing us a wonderful discussion, which is equivalent to giving us all a unique art lesson! So, who will win the gold medal in this competition? Which two works will win the Silver Award? The review team will have a 10-minute closed-door meeting, and let us send the experts to the conference room with warm applause! The host Bai Xue came to the stage and said.
The closed-door meeting is not broadcast live to the public, which is also a necessary way to maintain a sense of mystery, although through the live discussion just now, everyone can roughly judge which work can win what award, but the final result has not been announced, and no one dares to guarantee that it is 100% correct.
After the experts left, the host played an interactive game with everyone. And Fang Yang also took out his iPhone and plugged in the headphones, Fang Yang put on one ear and handed the other earbud to Soho. Soho hesitated, but still took the earphone and stuffed it into his right ear.
Fang Yang turned on the music player and chose Shuimu Nianhua's "Life with You", after pressing the play button, the melodious melody slowly sounded, Fang Yang closed his eyes slightly, feeling the artistic conception in the song.
"How many people have loved your face when you were young
But who can withstand the changes of time......"
When the chorus part sounded, Fang Yang and Soho unconsciously clasped their fingers, and their hearts were filled with boundless tenderness and sweetness......
The two of them on Fang Yang's side were close to each other, but the atmosphere in the conference room across the wall was tense. In fact, the general opinions of the experts have been unified, and basically everyone recognizes the bronze medal and one of the silver medal winners, and this confirmed silver medal winner is Soho, the author of the calligraphy work "Dotted Lips".
As for the remaining two works, who is the gold medal and who is the silver award, the experts have a serious disagreement, and they form two camps, one side insists that Fang Yang's lady painting should win the gold medal, and Yan Huiming's ink landscape from Southeast Normal University should win the silver award. The other side has the exact opposite opinion.
Master Bai Yan was unusual, just quietly listening to the arguments between the experts on both sides, and did not express his opinions in time.
The main experts who supported Fang Yang were He Ping, and Yan Huiming's supporters were also three or four, led by Liu Guangya.
On the one hand, he is the president of the Provincial Calligraphers Association, and on the other hand, he is the executive vice president of the Provincial Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and it can be said that the status is almost the same. And there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and everyone has their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone.
Seeing that the ten minutes were coming soon, and the experts had not yet unified their thoughts, the assistant director in charge of the progress coordination on the provincial side of the station was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and turned his attention to Master Bai Yan for help. However, Master Bai Yan still sat calmly in the center position, looking at his nose and nose, and he had no intention of speaking.
Liu Guangya also carefully looked at Fang Yang's works, and he also admitted in his heart that Fang Yang's works are actually higher than Yan Huiming's landscape paintings, both in brushwork and artistic conception.
But Liu Guangya had to support Yan Huiming, the bloodstone seal left after the people visited him last night is still in his study! People make it very clear: they are going for the gold medal! And Yan Huiming's work is indeed very good, if it weren't for Fang Yang's dark horse, Yan Huiming would have won the gold award.
Liu Guangya had to force himself to take a serious look at Fang Yang's works again, looking forward to picking a bone in the egg and finding out what flaws to support his point of view, so as to successfully push Yan Huiming to the top. At this moment, Liu Guangya suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he grasped a point that he had been ignoring just now, and he was suddenly excited, and said something that surprised all the experts present.
