Volume 1: A World Made Out of Nothing (21) The Unspoken Rules of the Art Competition
There were still a few minutes before the official start of the art competition, and the judges were also gathered to rest in the lounge built by Mu Linfeng with the "power of imagery".
It is said to be a lounge, but in fact, under the operation of Mullin, this house is as exquisite as a private club.
The hall is surrounded by carved beams and paintings, and the furniture is exquisite and simple, which is also praised by several judges present.
"It's worthy of Master Mu, how can this be a conference room? It's a palace! Ma Zhenbei said happily.
"Chairman Ma praised it falsely, and it was just a gesture." Mullin Wind Duct.
"Alright, alright. The game is about to begin. How many of us judges! You can sit down and discuss the ownership of this champion! "The person who spoke was Chu Xiangling, the champion of the previous session.
"I said Master Chu, every art competition is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and it seems a little difficult to determine the ownership of the champion!" Liu Xiaoguang said.
"Director Liu, this is a bad statement. It is precisely because of this competition that we must be cautious when determining the ownership of the champion. Chu Xiangling said.
"Master Chu has some truth in what he said." Ma Zhenbei also thinks so, "Although there is a gap in the grade of our art competition in Duyang Town compared with other big cities. But it's also a tournament with a long history. So in order to ensure the quality of this title, we had better frame some big favorites first! ”
"It seems that Chairman Ma should have a framed candidate in his heart!" Ding Dai also saw Ma Zhenbei's thoughts.
"I can't say that, but to improve the quality of this competition. I did invite a few of the more outstanding masters. Ma Zhenbei said quietly, "For example, Master Jing Tian of Dejing Town, Miss Zixuan of Tianhe City, and Master Chang Qin of the provincial capital, etc. ”
"Chairman Ma, I didn't expect that these people invited this time are all powerful figures in the art world without exception!" Listening to Ma Zhenbei's words, Xiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but get up and say.
"I didn't expect that Miss Xiang usually went deep into Jane, these inconspicuous masters, you still know them!"
"I remember that this Dejing Town is the best at making porcelain, and the Jing family in Dejing Town is also a leader in the porcelain level of the entire Huaxu Kingdom. And this Jing Tian, although it has just passed the year of its establishment, the level of porcelain production has also reached the level of a master. And I remember that he should have a great friendship with Director Liu! ”
"Miss Xiang knows a lot!" Liu Xiaoguang said with a smile, "Actually, in the first few competitions, I invited Brother Jing out of the mountain. He always excuses himself for not being good enough. No, he just became a two-star chemist two months ago, so I dragged him over anyway! ”
When Liu Xiaoguang said this, his eyebrows also danced. It can be seen that he is very optimistic about this Jing Tian, who is good at making porcelain.
"Master Chu, I remember that this Zixuan girl from Tianhe City seems to have a marriage contract with you, right?" Xiang Xiaoyuan continued.
Listening to Xiang Xiaoyuan's words, Chu Xiangling was a little embarrassed.
"What did you say, it made Miss Xiang smile. Actually, Zixuan is my fellow sister. She had just been promoted to a two-star materializer, so I encouraged her to come and join the event. Chu Xiangling hurriedly explained, "Her attainments in jewelry and jade are already outstanding, and they are even better than me!" ”
"Of course, the Tian and Zi families have a deep heritage. The jade they made is often given abroad as a national gift, which is indeed everyone's style. ”
"Praise to the eldest lady."
"The last one, Master Changqin of the provincial capital. I have devoted my life to studying painting, and I have been a two-star chemist for a while. I heard that in order to participate in this competition, even the promotion review of the three-star elephant chemist has been postponed. Looks like it's going to get it! Xiang Xiaoyuan turned to Ding Dai and said, "Ding, I remember that this Chang Qin should be your senior disciple!" ”
"It's worthy of Miss Xiang, I understand it very clearly!" Ding Dai also said with a smile, "This Chang Qin is indeed my unsuccessful disciple." I'm always obsessed with painting, and I don't care about anything else. Their family is heartbroken by this! ”
"Being able to pursue the art of painting without distractions, Chang Qin's reputation in the provincial painting industry is also reasonable!" Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded.
After Xiang Xiaoyuan identified the identities of these champion candidates one by one, she was already very clear in her heart.
This art contest held in Twilight Town is no different from other internal competitions. Unless there is a shocking dark horse, the title will naturally fall on the heads of these three people.
However, it cannot be said that people operate in the dark. The artistic attainments of these three people, looking at the contestants this time, all of them have done several grades.
You must know that apart from these three people, there is no one who can reach the level of a two-star imager. Not to mention that these three are all from famous families, and the background is much deeper than that of other wild artists.
Originally, Xiang Xiaoyuan also had a lot of expectations for Yu Tianlu, but seeing this heroic and strong man, he also sweated for him.
And even if Xiang Xiaoyuan wants to help, because of the identity of the future heir of the Xiang family, she can't go too far. If the gap between Yu Tianlu and the other three works is too big, it is impossible for her to abandon the reputation of her family for the sake of her friends.
Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaoyuan's face couldn't help but feel a little hazy.
Ma Zhenbei, the elf, also saw Xiang Xiaoyuan's expression, and he thought that Xiang Jia's eyes couldn't rub sand, and he might have some objections to such an arrangement.
So he hurriedly spoke: "Miss Xiang, do you think that the contestants we recommend are a little inappropriate?" ”
"No, it's not. As the saying goes, 'the virtuous do not avoid relatives', and being able to have such a high-level contestant participate in the competition can also add luster to the art competition in Duyang Town. ”
"It's worthy of Miss Xiang, it's good to be able to understand our hard work."
Several judges were also relieved.
"But seniors, that's what I'm trying to say. What if there is a dark horse in this competition? Xiang Xiaoyuan got up and asked.
"How is this possible?" Chu Xiangling also blurted out, but soon he realized that he had lost his words, and quickly explained, "I mean, I have also studied the information of the contestants in this competition. It's really hard to find an opponent on the same level as these three players! ”
"But as the so-called heroes don't ask where they come from. There should be a possibility of upsets in every competition. Just like the last competition, it is estimated that no one would have thought that Master Chu would be able to stand out and win the final crown! ”
"This ......," Chu Xiangling said in his heart, "I didn't expect this little girl from the Xiang family to be so powerful, take me as an example, doesn't this constrain me from helping Zixuan too much when I am reviewing?" ”
For a while, Chu Xiangling didn't know what to say.
At this moment, it was Ding Dai who came out to play a round: "We have been in the art world for so many years, and we have long looked down on fame and fortune. This time, these people are recommended to participate in the competition, all for the purpose of discovering talents in Huaxu's art world. If, as Xiang said to the eldest lady, there is really a genius who can beat those three contestants, we will naturally accept it gladly. A few of you said, "Oh, no?" ”
"That's... That's..."
Several other judges also hurriedly chimed in.
Mu Linfeng on the side also smiled when he saw such a scene.
"It seems that this Xiaoyuan wants to help the maker of that Qingluan Divine Bird! Let me see if this Yu Tianlu is so powerful! ”
Just when the judges had their own thoughts, they only heard a shout interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"Come on, come on, everyone borrow it, please borrow it, be careful!"
The sound resounded throughout the venue like thunder.
"Who the hell is making a lot of noise?" Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
At this time, I saw that not far away, a small hill was rushing towards the direction of the venue.
"What's that?" Ding Dai also screamed silently.
And when the hill got closer, everyone revealed the true face of the "hill".
It turned out to be a lot of materials for making handicrafts.
High-grade materials such as "Xitu" and "Yanjin", and even materials for making clothing such as "Huansha, Silk, and Jinmian". No need to ask, these should have been borrowed by Ling Sha.
The judges looked at these mountains of materials and were also a little puzzled.
Because they have already discovered that the quality of the material in front of them is not low.
Who is making such a big battle? The judges also speculated with each other.
And the most surprising thing is that the person who carries this hill is actually a burly little boy with a childish face.
Carrying so many materials on his back, his face was not red, his breath was not panting, his voice was like a bell, and a loud shout also made the contestants present invariably make way for him.
The judges also looked at each other.
"What kind of sacredness is this!" Liu Xiaoguang looked at the little boy and wondered.
"Let no man be a disfigurer. With so many materials, not to mention hundreds of pounds, how can such a young child carry it! Ma Zhenbei was also shocked.
At the same time, he also recognized the little boy who was carrying the weight forward, it was the powerful boy who followed Yu Tianlu before-Yan Yue.
"There's nothing strange about that. I think this kid should have the power of imagery! This thing, as long as you use the power of visualization, you can easily carry it! Chu Xiangling said nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry Master Chu, but I didn't feel the slightest power of visualization from that kid!" Ding Dai said lightly.
"Isn't there any power of imagery?" Chu Xiangling was also taken aback.
"Not really." Xiang Xiaoyuan on the side also echoed, "It seems that this player should be born with divine power!" ”
"Born with divine powers? I didn't expect this art contest to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! ”
Seeing that this Yan Yue did not have the power of visualization, those judges were also relieved.
"As long as you don't know how to use the power of imagery, what if you have a lot of strength? The things that are made are still difficult to get into the hall of elegance. ”
The three judges of the black-box operation also nodded knowingly.
Xiang Xiaoyuan on the side looked at it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "You guys, it seems that you don't know my friend's methods yet. ”
Xiang Xiaoyuan also remembered the scene a few days ago, in the goldfish battle, Yan Yue won by an overwhelming margin.
"What if they don't have the power of visualization, and if they have him, they will definitely be able to create a more outstanding work than the 'Qingluan Divine Bird'!" Xiang Xiaoyuan also quietly cheered for her two new friends.
At this moment, there was also billowing smoke and dust in the center of the venue, and Yan Yue also came to the door of Studio 032 with all the materials in a hurry.
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, I brought all the materials here!" Yan Yue shouted loudly.
At this time, the door of the studio slowly opened, and Yu Tianlu's voice also came out: "Take it in!" ”
