"You don't need to praise me. What I want to say is, since I can cross the gap of time, why can't other teenagers?" Xiang Xiaoyuan said seriously.
"Miss Xiang, please stop joking. That No. 032 is just a child from the mountains. Compared with you, he is like a crow!" Chu Xiangling said flatteringly.
Xiang Xiaoyuan naturally disdains this kind of flattery.
But now she doesn't want to defend herself. She believed that Yu Tianlu would definitely bring them works that would surprise them.
Mu Linfeng, who was on the side, saw this and thought to himself: "I really didn't expect that this eldest lady would value this Qingluan boy so much. Is he really talented?"
Time flew by, and in a short while four hours had passed.
Some contestants even couldn't hold back and were ready to submit their works in advance.
"Report to the judges, I will apply to be judged!" a contestant said confidently.
"It's really unexpected that someone has already submitted a work just after half the competition time." Qiu Mei also said happily, "No matter what the work is, we should applaud this contestant for his courage."
"This person must be Master Fan Wei!" Someone in the audience also recognized this player.
"Master Fan Wei, I remember, is an astrological master! He is very accomplished in sculpture. He completed the work so quickly, it seems that he must be very confident!"
At this time, Fan Wei had already stood in the center of the stage. Behind him, a red cloth covered his work, and the work looked quite big.
The expression on Fan Wei's face looked very proud, and it seemed that he was also very satisfied with his creation this time.
After a while, Ding Dai and other judges also gathered at the center of the stage.
"Contestant Fan Wei, are you sure you want to submit your work now?" Ding Dai looked at Fan Wei and said very seriously, "There is still half an hour left, why don't you stop processing it?"
"No, dear judges. I think my work is good enough!" Fan Wei looked quite confident, "Judges should know that this art pays attention to one go. After I entered the studio, inspiration burst out and I was selfless. I even lost track of time while creating. When I finished the work, I found that only half of the time had passed."
"I originally wanted to re-process it and strive for excellence. But I found that if you add one point to this work, it will be more, and if you subtract one point, it will be less. This is the most proud work of my life, and I really don't know how to change it. !”
When saying this, Fan Wei also looked around.
The audience in the audience also looked at Fan Wei and talked a lot.
"Is this guy so arrogant?"
"It's not arrogance. I feel that Master Fan has such capital."
After hearing Fan Wei's words, the judges couldn't help but frown.
Even Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't believe it.
"This Fan Wei is also unknown, so he may not have any amazing works!"
Just as Xiang Xiaoyuan was thinking about it, Ding Dai also spoke first: "Now that contestant Fan Wei has made up his mind, let's start the judging! Fan Wei, you can take off the red cloth."
Fan Wei nodded, turned around and suddenly lifted the red cloth away.
"Let the judges take a look at my masterpiece!" Fan Wei turned around confidently after saying this.
Everyone present at this moment also saw Fan Wei's work, a huge relief sculpture.
"It turns out to be a relief!"
I saw an ancient battlefield carved on a huge marble section.
Countless soldiers fought fiercely on this vast battlefield.
The generals are high-spirited, commanding with determination, and take the lead; the soldiers are brave, risking their own lives, and charging ahead.
Fan Wei also portrayed each soldier and general vividly and with distinct personalities. This almost tragic battle came to life vividly on the page, making the audience feel as if they were actually there.
"He is indeed a master of sculpture!"
"It is not easy to carve on this marble, and to be able to carve it to this extent in just a few hours is really amazing!"
"I see how Master Fan Wei can get a high score!"
The audience in the audience also praised Fan Wei's relief sculpture. They believed that this work could get a high score.
"Fan Wei, your work is indeed very skillful." Ding Dai said slowly, "But don't forget, the theme of our competition is 'Heroes', no matter what kind of work it is, it must stick to the theme. I think Please tell me, how does this relief reflect the word 'hero'?"
Fan Wei smiled slightly and said confidently: "This is an obvious thing! My relief carvings depict a group of fighting heroes. They risk their lives on the battlefield and do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. Such people are not heroes. What is it?"
"Master Fan's works really interpret the theme of 'hero'!"
"That's right, I was also infected by that relief. It's so exciting!"
The audience in the audience started talking, it seems that Fan Wei is really going to have a face.
"Okay, let's ask the judges to rate Contestant Fan Wei's work!" Qiu Mei also said loudly.
The judges looked at the relief again, picked up their pens and wrote down their scores on their scoreboards.
"I wonder how many points this majestic work of Master Fan Wei can get! Let us all take a look together!"
Following Qiu Mei's words, everyone also focused their attention on the judges.
But after the judges raised their scoring boards, the entire venue suddenly became quiet.
"7 points, 6 points, 8 points, 7.5 points, 7 points. Player Fan Wei's final score was 35.5 points."
When Qiu Mei revealed this score, Fan Wei's expression, which had been full of enthusiasm just now, instantly turned solemn.
You must know that Fan Wei has always been conceited, and he also thinks very highly of his relief work. He thinks he is perfect. If the judges' score is not perfect, he should give it a score of 9 or 9.5.
This average score of about 7 points was something he couldn't accept no matter what.
"I need an explanation? Why did you give me such a low score?" Fan Wei was like a powder keg that could explode at any time.
"Why do you give such a low score?" Ding Dai sneered, "Fan Wei, don't you understand it yourself?"
"I understand? How do I understand? Is it because my sculpting skills are not good enough, or what? Let me ask you, how many of the contestants in this venue can produce works of this level?" Fan Wei shouted loudly.
"If you hadn't participated in this competition, your work would indeed be considered excellent. It's a pity that you made a fatal mistake." Liu Xiaoguang said coldly.
"What did you say?" If it weren't for Liu Xiaoguang's age, Fan Wei might have exploded at that time, "Judges, I need a reasonable explanation now. I have never received such a low score! "
"I'm talking about Fan Wei, it seems that it makes sense for you to stand still for so many years!" Chu Xiangling looked at Fan Wei with disdain.
"What did you say? Chu Xiangling, please keep your mouth clean!" Fan Wei was also furious.
In fact, Fan Wei and Chu Xiangling, who are similar in age, debuted at about the same time. At the beginning, their talent and strength were not far apart. Although Chu Xiangling always dominated Fan Wei, public opinion at that time still criticized them. Two new artists are hyped to be "instantly bright" and "double gems in the art world".
However, since Fan Wei was from a grassroots background and Chu Xiangling was backed by the Tian and Zi families, it didn't take long for the gap between the two to widen.
Especially when Chu Xiangling won the championship in Muyang Town's art competition, the criticism quickly knocked Fan Wei to the bottom.
Although in the eyes of others, Fan Wei, an artist with the title of astrology master, is already at the top of the mountain, in the eyes of Fan Wei, a guy with a higher ambition than the sky, Chu Xiangling is his goal to catch up.
Now how could Fan Wei bear being ridiculed by the person he was most jealous of?
"I'm just stating a fact, and did you know that just now I was the only one who gave you an 8-point rating because of our friendship when we debuted together before?"
"What did you say?" Fan Wei was also completely shocked.
It was a great insult to Fan Wei to be pitied by the person he was most jealous of.
In Fan Wei's view, the judging panel was full of hostility towards him and gave him low scores through tinted glasses. So he looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan for help.
"Miss Xiang, I don't believe other people's comments. I only believe in Xiang Jia's vision. I would like to ask you to explain, are my works really so bad?" Fan Wei also said excitedly.
"Master Fan, please be patient. If you don't understand, I am willing to give you a fair explanation." Xiang Xiaoyuan replied calmly.
The entire audience also focused their attention on Xiang Xiaoyuan, and other judges also wanted to see this young heir to the Xiang family's knowledge of art.
Facing everyone's gaze, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not have stage fright. She looked at Fan Wei and said seriously: "Master Fan, please forgive me if my review is not good."
Xiang Xiaoyuan also slowly walked to the relief, pointed to these patterns and commented: "The material of this marble section is also very rare. It can be seen that Master Defan has carefully prepared for this competition. And being able to In a very short period of time, each character was portrayed so vividly in relief, I believe Master Fan must have used a relatively high-end 'image etching' technology."
"'Image etching'? What kind of technology is this?"
"I think I've heard of this technique before!"
The audience was in commotion again.
"The so-called 'image etching' technology is to use the power of image to transform into a liquid-like carving knife, and then engrave on the surface of the blank like corrosion. This is a technique for the carver to control the 'power of image'. And the engraving technique is a great test. I can responsibly say that those who can use 'image etching' better than Master Fan can only use one hand."
"That's it!"
"Master Fan's technique is indeed exquisite and unparalleled."
"But why is such a superb technique only given such a low score?"
The audience once again cast doubtful eyes on Xiang Xiaoyuan.
"If this competition had no theme, Master Fan would be able to compete for the championship trophy based on his carving technique alone. Unfortunately, the key flaw of this work is that it does not hit the topic."
"It's not relevant?" Fan Wei also opened his mouth, "How is this possible? Isn't the theme this time 'hero'? Isn't the fighting hero shown in my relief wrong?"
Looking at Fan Wei with a confused look on his face, Xiang Xiaoyuan also shook his head.
"Master Fan, you seem to have misunderstood the battle heroes. Although this relief does show a magnificent battle scene, I can't feel any heroic figures on it!" Xiang Xiaoyuan's expression looked very serious.
