I'm My Ex's Mother-in-Law

At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...

Chapter 708 Why give 9 points

Chapter 708 Why give 9 points

Liu Jingying was the first to laugh. "Tan Shi is very good at expressing herself. I already have a pattern for this dress in my mind. I wonder if the sketch your teammate drew is the same as what you described?"

Qin Shi saw that I hadn't finished drawing yet, and she had to continue to support the occasion. The eloquence she won third place in the last speech competition of A University was not exaggerated. While she was responding to several guests enthusiastically, my hands were almost cramping from drawing. I finally finished the design sketch before she ran out of words.

Although it is called a sketch, in fact the coloring and pattern details have already been drawn. Today's hand-drawing design software is very user-friendly, and the drawing speed is several times faster than pure hand-drawing.

Seeing that I had finally finished the drawing, Qin Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Our team's design drawing is complete. Teachers, please give your comments."

The design was projected onto the big screen. Qin Shi looked at the screen and continued to introduce: "This thin windbreaker is a modified Hanfu style. The main body of the garment is made of heavy chiffon fabric instead of the conventional cotton and linen. The asymmetrical cut retains the flowing feel, and the long belt modifies the waistline, making it more suitable for everyday wear."

There were exclamations of "Wow" from the audience, and a girl in the back row whispered, "Is this the world of academic masters?"

In the guest seats, Liu Jingying's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Can you make this dress? I can pay the deposit."

Qin Shi raised her eyebrows at me. When I was choosing the color just now, I deliberately chose a low-saturation earthy red color that is very suitable for Liu Jingying. This color will give her a sense of sophistication that no one else can wear. Sure enough, my bet was right. She knew very well the color that suits her and liked it as soon as she saw it.

Mr. Xiao said leisurely, "I am interested in purchasing this design manuscript. I will ask my assistant to contact you. Of course, the condition is that you produce a design draft of the same series.

As for Ms. Liu, you can rest assured that the first sample can be tailor-made for you."

Ning Bei teased, "Mr. Xiao, are you planning to invest in Team A's graduation show?" The whole audience laughed.

There is no doubt that we answered this question very well. Even though Mr. Fei and Liu Xingci don't understand design or fashion, with Xiao Shiqiu's move to acquire the design, they naturally know that we have done a very good job.

For the first question, all five guests, except Wang Bo, gave a perfect score of 10. The host asked Wang Bo: "I'm curious, why did you give it a score of 9?"

Wang Bo smiled and said, "This point gives them room for improvement, and also gives me a chance to speak on the show. Look, I gave them one less point, and you came to talk to me."

The audience burst into laughter, and we laughed too. It was indeed a bit unreasonable to get full marks. For us, there was no difference between 50 points and 49 points. Wang Bo was very smart to do this. It did not really affect our scores, and it also prevented others from talking about us. It also livened up the atmosphere. I decided to become his fan.

After we returned to our seats, the background music suddenly changed to the pipa piece "Yangchun Baixue".

The host turned to the film academy team members and said, "This question is for you. Please have a few representatives demonstrate how to recreate the 'rebounding pipa' technique using modern stage technology. Of course, you don't have to actually play it, just pretend."

The six people over there discussed it for a while, and then the particularly thin girl with curly hair and a tall and thin boy walked onto the stage confidently.

The boy took the microphone and said, "Let me explain this scene. First, a dynamic mural appears on the screen, and the actor is lifted into the air with a wire and then slowly descends.

Of course, we don’t have wire harnesses right now, so we can only do a simple demonstration.”

At this moment, the curly-haired girl suddenly took a sideways step, lifted the air with her left hand as if holding a pipa, raised her right hand backward, pretending to play it, and then did another round jump. The boy took the opportunity to hug her and lift her up, but he failed to lift her up at once. Embarrassed, he gritted his teeth and tried again before he succeeded.

That posture requires maintaining balance, which actually tests the strength of two people. The girl obviously has a solid dance foundation. She always keeps a smile on her face, her expression is natural, and her movements are relaxed. You can't tell that she is exerting any effort at all.

Su Rina sighed: "They are indeed masters at creating something out of nothing. They clearly have nothing in their hands, but they look like they are playing the pipa."

Soon the boy seemed to be unable to do it. I observed his movements carefully and it seemed that he had practiced ballet before, but he had not practiced for a long time. I guess it was because he was too tall and not suitable for ballet, so he switched to studying acting.

When learning ballet, diet is very important for both men and women because it requires very high muscle strength. After learning acting, people just want to be thin enough. With his current body shape, he doesn't look like he has explosive power.

Because the boys were exhausted, their demonstration ended quickly.

The guests were still very kind and gave three full marks and two nines.

The next two questions were more interesting. They had the same title, using the question [Dunhuang murals use "lapis lazuli blue" and "cinnabar red" as their signature colors. Analyze the cultural symbols of these two colors], but the two teams were required to answer the questions differently.

Our team was asked to design a set of costumes using two colors, while Tang Yuye and her team were asked to design a short play each.

There was only fifteen minutes to prepare, and of course, that preparation time would be cut.

After a quick discussion, Pang Xiaomin and I decided to draw together. I felt like the speed I'd developed to rush through training classes was actually for this competition! For the first time, I was grateful to my mom for her foresight.

Soon, I designed a starry sky gradient dress based on the lapis lazuli blue that symbolizes sacredness, and Pang Xiaomin painted a flame-patterned jacket based on the cinnabar red that symbolizes vitality.

Our designs were not particularly outstanding, but just average. After all, the time was too short, which limited our imagination.

Fortunately, it was the same over there at Tang Yuye. They also understood lapis lazuli blue as sacred, so the content of the impromptu performance was a pious fragment of pilgrims looking up at the sky.

They interpreted cinnabar red as a caravan on the Silk Road, chatting around a campfire at night.

The performances of the two teams are still evenly matched. Just like what Lao Xiao told me, the guests are maintaining the balance between our two teams.

Huang Tianyi whispered to me, "See? They're all masters of keeping things balanced!"

I nodded in agreement. In the adult world, people are often well versed in the art of balance, except for my mom.

The last question left at this time becomes the key.

The music suddenly changed. "Next, it's the quick-answer session. This is the key battle that will determine the outcome today!" The host's voice sounded, and we held our breath, not daring to be careless. Several of us had our hands ready on the keys.
