00201 The Statue of Victory is stolen
Lying on the bed, Wang Ding was still disturbed by the strange scenes that happened today, the coffin in the mysterious village house, Wang Ding was even more curious about how he appeared in Paris?
The clothes inside are all Chinese Qing Dynasty clothes, so it stands to reason that these clothes should be in China, but they are in Paris.
Could it be that there were once French people who robbed tombs in China, and then found this coffin in the tomb, and there were a large number of Qing Dynasty clothes in the coffin, and then the French transported this coffin to their country.
It was not impossible, but Wang Ding was even more convinced that there must have been more than these clothes that were transported at that time, and there should be a large number of treasures.
Where did the treasure go, whether it was on the old man, that's the question. Also, the Night Pearl appeared in the coffin, where did the Night Pearl come from.
One after another mysteries pounced, Wang Ding thought that he would have to go to the house again after tomorrow's game.
On the fifth day of the trip to Paris, the return to China has entered the countdown moment, of course Wang Ding doesn't want to go back so early, because there are still tricky things to do, but the domestic phone call is also very urgent, Wang Ding has no choice, so he has to speed up the efficiency.
No, after the carving of the Goddess of Victory was completed yesterday, the staff of the Louvre transported the new Statue of Victory to the sculpture hall.
Since it was placed in the sculpture hall last night, today is the first time that the Statue of Victory has appeared with tourists, and because Director Brewer is nervous that the new Statue of Victory will surpass the old one, it is also a more solemn and intensive publicity for the old Statue of Victory, until this morning, the streets and alleys are still the promotional posters of the Statue of Victory of Samot. It is imperative to consolidate its important position.
It is the same as the previous morning closure. The sculpture gallery is open in the afternoon to welcome visitors. In the morning, Mayor Huntley and Director Brewer were in the communication room to watch several young sculptors compete.
Yes, this morning there will be a sculpture circle competition in the Louvre's exchange hall, this competition was arranged by Director Breuer yesterday, and the six people of the competition are Rembrandt and Polkadot of the Louvre, and the famous new sculpture master of Paris, Britz. David, Lusa, and China's fledgling sculptor Wang Ding.
Two of Albeni's apprentices and one student competed, and Albeni became a coach and a spectator and sat in the audience. This year's jury included some of France's most renowned sculptors.
The competition was presided over by Mayor Huntley himself, and the project of today's competition was very simple, six people, each carving three sculptures.
As a sculpture, it is basically three categories, a figure, an animal, and then a still life, this competition. Six people had to carve these three types of sculptures within the allotted time of three hours. There is no limit to the subject matter.
After Huntley announced the start, the contestants soon entered the state of carving, as a small famous carving Britz, he chose to carve the figure directly took the prototype of Mayor Huntley, and while watching while playing the blank, Britz completed it quickly, basically, the limbs did not take much time, Britz completed all the carvings except the head in about half an hour.
As for the fine carving of the head, Blitz slowly cut down after observing Mayor Huntley for a long time, but after the knife, Blitz carved quickly and finished very smoothly.
Compared with Britz's skill, slightly inferior but still more prominent among several is Polkadot, Polkadot deeply passed on the essence of the sculpture of the previous director of the Louvre, plus as the most outstanding sculptor of the Louvre, he also has many overseas study experiences, Polkadot has a foundation, and he has shown his high level in sculpture.
He does not follow the scene of the figure carving, but he is the best at handling the female role, the sculpture of nude women is full of the Renaissance advocating freedom, breaking the boundaries of the representative temperament, than Britz tricks to curry favor with the mayor, Polka pays more attention to the cultivation of artistic sentiment, in another field of art, higher than the opponent, more like sculpture.
Compared to these two, David, Lusa, and Rembrandt were much more stupid in carving figures, and Lusa simply carved half of them and began to sculpt animals she was familiar with.
Having completed her rabbit sculpture with great difficulty, Lusa went back to work on her figure sculpture, but spent a lot of time calculating and analyzing, frustrated that she could not represent a perfect sculpture.
David's skills are not worse than Lusa's, in the figure sculpture, he wants to create a figure in action, influenced by the master Albeni, he wants to show a dynamic beauty, but because the skills are not enough, the figure he carves gives people the feeling of a static, always lacking a kind of vitality, no spirit, body resemblance but not god.
As for Rembrandt, the movement was even slower, and the blank was not beaten for a long time.
Time passed minute by minute, and the six of them were studying, painting, carving, carving, and busy in their own sculptures.
More than two hours later, Blitz and Polkadot had largely completed the sculptures of the three works, but in the final trimming to achieve the most beautiful state of the sculptures. Lusa has also completed her own design, although the handling of the characters is a little rough, but she can be regarded as doing her best.
Rembrandt is one of the worse ones, usually, the performance is okay in this competition, he was affected by this fierce atmosphere, the play is a little abnormal, more than two hours, he is still stagnant in the figure sculpture, the thinking is rigid and can't open, the animals are at a loss, not to mention the display of still life, he is admitting defeat, decadence is just maintaining the game.
Speaking of these people's situation, there are good and bad, in fact, Wang Ding's situation is the most mediocre one, at this time Wang Ding he completed the first two steps of the two sculptures, rough billet playing, fine billet polishing, these are no problem, Wang Ding is now on the two sculptures after the most polishing, and in time is absolutely at a disadvantage.
However, Wang Ding was not in a hurry. With the assistance of aura, Wang Ding can carry out the most perfect treatment of the sculpture of the figure. And this figure sculpture of Wang Ding's sculpture has to be said.
You must know that there are three treasures in the Louvre Museum in France, one is the statue of the goddess of victory carved by Wang Ding, one is the Mona Lisa oil painting of Leonardo da Vinci, and the other is the Venus of Milos.
Venus with a broken arm has a subtle beauty, a soothing beauty, a feminine beauty, she is the face of feminine beauty, a symbol of love and peace.
It is this classic that Wang Ding is carving at the moment.
Nude women, Wang Ding's portrayal of her surpasses Polkadot's design, exposing the three beauties of women on a larger scale. The aura of the treasure of the Louvre Town Store is no less than the title of Mayor Huntley, and this aura has become a weapon for Wang Ding to defeat Britz in disguise.
Wang Ding didn't think much about it at first, but as soon as his carving took shape, it undoubtedly made Polkadot and Britz realize a strong sense of crisis.
As soon as the nude Venus carved by Wang Ding appeared, her head, facial features, chest, waist, every part of the depiction was vividly and vividly, as if it was copied and pasted from the Venus of Milos, and everyone was instantly impressed.
Before the admiration could be stopped, Wang Ding's continued completion of the tiger and lion beast applauded everyone again.
Wang Ding's two works were completed, these two works ranked first in the unanimous praise, the sculpture of Mayor Huntley in Blitz and the nude female sculpture of Polkata were defeated, and both of them were also looking at Wang Ding's last sculpture, because, if he can successfully complete the display of the last still life within the specified time, basically, he will be the first place in this competition, the undoubted master of sculpture.
And being won by a foreigner in the sculpture competition is really not something to talk about, and Brewer, including Huntley, did not think that this Chinese could win.
"There are fifteen minutes left, and those who haven't finished their work should hurry, because the competition is about to end."
There were still more than twenty minutes before the game, but Huntley said it was only fifteen minutes after Brewer's repeated instigation.
Rembrandt, who had not finished the work, simply gave up, because he really couldn't stand the oppression behind this pressure, but Wang Ding would have been completely unaffected by Huntley's words.
However, he carried out his own creation on the last sculpture of his own category, and the last sculpture carved by Wang Ding was a field that he had never tried.
Because in Wang Ding's mind, what suddenly jumped out at that time was the night pearl he saw yesterday, and Wang Ding was carving the night pearl.
You must know that the night pearl is round, and the luster on the surface has to be modified, so Wang Ding has no more sculpture skills on the premise that he has no more struggling skills.
However, Wang Ding knew that as long as he could carve a sphere, the aura in the jade plate would help him complete the rest of the things.
It's just that the general creation of this sphere needs to be done by oneself, and it is not easy to complete it by cutting it like this.
Brewer looked at the time, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and there were five minutes before the game was about to end, so Wang Ding had a work that was not completed, and he must have lost.
Signaling Mayor Huntley to speed up the process of ending the game again, Huntley did not take Brewer's advice, insisted on waiting another five minutes, and gave Wang Ding the last time.
When Wang Ding finally created the round sphere, and then completed the creation of the Night Pearl with the help of the aura with the power of destroying the withering and decaying, he suddenly heard someone shouting in a hurry outside the door, the voice was in French, but it seemed to be saying that the statue of the goddess of victory was stolen, yes, it should be right, the statue of the goddess of victory was stolen! (To be continued......)
