"Master Zixuan, this jade should be the Purple Star Jade from the Tian Hezi family!" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
"As expected of Miss Xiang, you really have good eyesight." Zixuan nodded and said, "This is the Purple Star Jade of our Zi family."
"This is the legendary Purple Star Jade!" Qiu Mei quickly took over the conversation and said, "I heard that this Purple Star Jade is refined from the jade ore found in meteorites that fell from the sky."
"Yes, so this Purple Star Jade can be said to be extremely rare." Xiang Xiaoyuan introduced, "The jade carved from this Purple Star Jade is top-notch in terms of material and value. And this Purple Star Jade has One of the biggest features.”
"The biggest characteristic, what characteristic?" Qiu Mei asked while the iron was hot.
"Perhaps this Purple Star Jade comes from outside the sky and seems to be less susceptible to the influence of the power of imagery. However, this Purple Star Jade is very fragile. If other tools are used for carving, the entire jade blank will be easily destroyed. ." Xiang Xiaoyuan explained, "So successfully turning a piece of Purple Star Jade into a work of art is a very challenging task in itself."
"It turns out that this is the case. After such an introduction to the eldest lady, we all became enlightened! It turns out that there are so many ways to do this purple star jade!"
"If we just talk about the craftsmanship of this work, it would be more appropriate to describe it as ingenious." Ding Dai also gave a very high evaluation, "For such a difficult-to-handle jade blank, it seems that you should use Zixuan Your family's 'water etching knife'!"
"What is this 'water etching knife'?" Qiu Mei asked curiously.
"The so-called 'water etching knife' is a technique that uses the power of imagery to control water to carve jade blanks." Xiang Xiaoyuan explained, "Since purple star jade is so fragile, soft water is used instead of ordinary carving knife Carving is the best method. Then, with the power of imaging, we control water to carve on the surface of the jade blank, so as to make purple star jade a top-notch work of art."
"But as far as I know, this technique is a great test for the carver, both in terms of carving skills and the accuracy of controlling the power of image formation." Ding Dai looked at Zixuan and continued, "I know a few masters. All the masters of this technique are masters over fifty years old. There are also several senior experts from your Zi family. You have already mastered this technique at such a young age, you are really better than your master!"
"The two judges have given the award!" When Zixuan said this, his expression was already very calm.
"But Master Zixuan, don't forget one thing." Liu Xiaoguang frowned at this moment, "The theme of our competition is 'Hero'. You have carved such a beautiful beauty, which seems to be in line with this one." The theme is totally irrelevant! I wonder what Master Zixuan’s explanation is?”
"Director Liu asked a very good question!" Zixuan opened his lips lightly and said, "Who said I didn't interpret this theme? Does it mean that only men can be representatives of heroes?"
"This...Zixuan, what do you mean?" Liu Xiaoguang was also surprised.
"Yes, what I show in this work is a heroine." Zixuan said calmly, "And it should be a heroine that everyone is familiar with."
"A familiar heroine?"
"Master Zixuan, I think the heroine you are referring to should be Hua Xu, the mother of our Huaxu Kingdom in ancient mythology!" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
"Yes, what I am showing is the Mother of Huaxu." Zixuan continued to explain, "In myths and legends, the Mother of Huaxu is not only a human being, but also established the ancient Huaxu Kingdom on this continent. Under the protection of the Mother of Huaxu Next, the people of Huaxu Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment, and continue to thrive on the mainland."
"It's a pity that the people of Huaxu Kingdom did not cherish this hard-won good life at that time. Some people were even arrogant and not only disrespectful to God, but also made actions that angered God. So the gods prepared to send down divine punishment. , destroying the entire Huaxu Kingdom in one fell swoop."
"At the critical moment of the life and death of Huaxu Kingdom, Huaxu's mother stood up. She was willing to bear the divine punishment from heaven with her own body. When a bloody storm struck, Huaxu's mother's body protected the entire Huaxu Kingdom. Use her own flesh and blood to bear the faults of her own people."
Zixuan also told this fascinating myth in an emotional voice.
She turned back, looked at Liu Xiaoguang, and asked: "Director Liu, do you think Hua Xu's mother is a hero?"
"Well..." Liu Xiaoguang sighed helplessly, "I'm talking about Zixuan! You've already moved Hua Xu's mother out, so what else can I say?"
"Xuan'er, your work this time is completely in line with the theme of 'hero'. It seems that you have lived up to Uncle Zi Xuan's hope." Looking at Zi Xuan, Chu Xiangling also said emotionally.
Seeing her fiancé's scorching eyes, Zixuan, an iceberg beauty, blushed on her face.
"Okay, okay. Next is the most important scoring step." Qiu Mei said quickly.
The judges soon gave their scores.
"9.5 points, 10 points, 9 points, 9.5 points, 9.5 points, the total score is 47.5 points. A pretty high score."
No need to ask, the 10 points were naturally given to Zixuan by Chu Xiangling.
None of the scores of the contestants who submitted their works before have exceeded 40 points.
Zixuan's high score also opened up a cliff-like gap, and he became the favorite to win the championship.
Seeing such a high score, Xiang Xiaoyuan, one of the judges, looked over at Studio 032 involuntarily.
Night had fallen by this time, and the lights had already been lit in the studio.
It seems that Yu Tianlu is still busy working on his work inside.
"Xiaolu, you have to work hard!" Xiang Xiaoyuan prayed secretly.
Soon the other two popular candidates for the championship, Jing Tian and Chang Qin, also completed their works.
Jing Tian's works are hundreds of ceramic statues made of crystal clay. Jing Tian’s technique of “one mind, one mind, many uses” is fully demonstrated in this work.
On the huge sand table, various ceramic sculptures of human figures outline a grand scene.
"What I show is the once-in-a-hundred-year flood that Huaxu Kingdom suffered that year. In the face of that natural disaster, human beings should have been very small. But we, the people of Huaxu Kingdom, with a fearless spirit and this We have fought a protracted battle against natural disasters. In the end, against all odds, we will finally defeat this disaster."
Jing Tian talked eloquently and introduced his works in detail.
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoguang naturally nodded his head: "Everyone is united to fight against the flood. It seems that everyone in Jing Tian's work is a hero!"
"Yes, maybe there are no superheroes in this world, but as long as everyone joins hands, we will definitely be able to create our own heroes in Huaxu Kingdom." Jing Tian said with high spirits.
Jing Tian's words were so resonant that the audience cheered in unison.
"The intention of Master Jing Tian's work is quite high!" Even Ding Dai couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "And the crystal breath soil is even more difficult to process than the purple star jade. 'One mind, one hundred uses' and The 'Water Etching Knife' is also comparable in terms of artistic techniques. This is really a difficult thing to do!"
In the end, Jing Tian's score was 48 points, which was 0.5 points higher than Zixuan. He simply beat her.
Although Chu Xiangling was unwilling to do so, he had to admit that Jing Tian was indeed top-notch in terms of ceramic production.
Next it was Chang Qin's turn. At this moment, his face was pale and his eyes were blood red, as if he had just gone through a big battle.
His painting was covered with white cloth and slowly carried to the stage by two assistants. Chang Qin himself is behind the work just now.
"What's going on?" Seeing Chang Qin in such a state, Ma Zhenbei was very surprised.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Ma. This is an old problem for me, a closed disciple." Ding Dai sighed.
"I heard that Mr. Chang Qin is known as the 'Painting Demon'!" Xiang Xiaoyuan said, "He seems to be able to put emotion into painting and use the almost lost 'spiritual painting'!"
"It seems that Miss Xiang also knows a lot about this 'divine consciousness painting'?"
"I just heard my father mention it once. It is said that this 'spiritual painting' is a painting technique that combines one's own mental power with the power of visualization. Paintings created with this painting technique can combine characters and scenery. The portrayal is extremely lifelike.”
"That's right, it's just that I, a closed disciple, have a problem." Ding Dai explained.
"What's wrong?" Ma Zhenbei asked curiously.
"Once he uses 'Divine Consciousness Painting' to paint, this guy will devote himself completely to it, even staying up for days and nights. Many times, he won't stop until his body is broken."
"I see, but it's only for a few hours this time, so there shouldn't be any problem!"
Ding Dai shook her head and said: "On the contrary, the problem is even bigger. Originally, the paintings of a few days had to reach the highest level within a few hours. I guess Chang Qin started to squeeze his life force again. This kid, this competition After all, I have to ban him from painting for half a year."
It can be seen that Ding Dai blames Chang Qin on the surface, but in fact she loves this closed disciple very much.
"Okay, Master Chang Qin, can you let us see your 'hero' painting?" Qiu Mei said with a smile.
"Okay, but please help me uncover it!" Chang Qin said sheepishly, "Actually, I can't even lift my hand."
After Chang Qin finished speaking, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the two assistants on the side reacted quickly and supported him, so that Chang Qin would not make a fool of himself.
"It seems like this 'painting devil' has exhausted himself again." Chu Xiangling muttered in a low voice, "It looks like his work this time will be very amazing!"
Qiu Mei carefully opened the white cloth.
But when the white cloth was unveiled, the whole place was in an uproar.
Because behind the white cloth is a canvas as white as snow, with no patterns on it at all, let alone any heroic themes.
"Master Chang Qin, did you pick up the wrong thing? Isn't this piece of white cloth your work?" Chu Xiangling frowned.
"No, this is my work, I got it right." Chang Qin said calmly.
"Did you get it correctly? There's nothing on it!" Chu Xiangling said with a smile, "You're not trying to fool us with a scam like the 'Emperor's New Clothes'!"
"Master Chu, what you said is wrong!" Xiang Xiaoyuan said at this moment, "If I guessed correctly, this is indeed a painting made with 'divine consciousness painting'. The reason why this picture is not shown now is The time has not come yet.”
"The time has not come yet?" Except for Ding Dai, the other judges also looked at each other.
You must know that this painting is not their area of expertise, let alone "spiritual painting", they don't understand it at all.
"Then when can we see the picture? Everyone is looking forward to this 'spiritual painting'!" The audience below was impatient to wait.
