Chapter 142: One Person Doing Three Jobs

Her voice is very delicate, with a sense of ease, which makes people feel refreshed when listening to it.

When the other guests heard the sound, they all looked over curiously.

Before Meng Chuyuan opened the paper in her hand, the camera was already giving a close-up of her hand. Even though the complete paper window decoration was not seen, the shape of the rabbit could be roughly seen.

The director was watching in front of the monitor, holding the chair handles with both hands, leaning forward slightly, obviously unable to sit still.

It seemed as if his previous words were spoken just a second ago. Before he could even sit down in his chair, Meng Chuyuan had already figured out the method of paper cutting.

Tingjiu suddenly came over and said expectantly, "Really? Let me see."

Meng Chuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and casually unfolded the paper. Because there were many hollowed-out areas and the paper was small and thin after being cut, he had to be extremely careful when unfolding it.

Not long after, Meng Chuyuan finally unfolded the entire piece of paper.

Her paper is round, and the rabbit she cut out is viewed from the front, mainly highlighting the rabbit's head, with hollowed-out symmetrical flowers and plants all around it.

The only difference between the pattern cut by Meng Chuyuan and that of the program team was the rabbit. The program team cut it from the side, while Meng Chuyuan cut it from the front, eliminating the complicated patterns on the rabbit.

She followed the symmetrical method, added a bit of her own ideas, and reduced the original difficulty to the minimum.

[Sister Meng, can you lend me your smart brain? I really need it.]

Is this really something a beginner can learn?

[Compared to Sister Meng, everyone here is a younger brother, hahahaha]

[Sister Meng has her own ideas, and the results of her practice are also very good]

[This kind of delicate work is beyond the ability of a careless person like me. It’s another day of worshipping Sister Meng.]

When Lu Jinsen saw the rabbit she had cut out, he was extremely impressed, but he didn't show it on his face.

He said calmly, "It's quite realistic."

After seeing Meng Chuyuan's paper-cutting, the other guests suddenly felt pressured.

Before Meng Chuyuan could say anything, Tingjiu was already standing up for her. She looked at Lu Jinsen with disdain, "Can you even speak? My sister is so amazing and you can't even bear to praise her."

Meng Chuyuan held up the paper window decoration, looked up at the director outside the venue, and asked, "Director, is this okay?"

Logically, she had cut out the thing, but some parts had been changed by her, and it was not the same as the reference picture. Meng Chuyuan directly raised the questions she wanted to know.

The director looked at the time. It was only nine o'clock. If he let Meng Chuyuan pass now, the other two groups would probably use the same method to replace him, and today's live broadcast time would be greatly shortened.

To avoid this from happening, the director coughed lightly and replied to her in a serious tone, "No, your level of reproduction isn't high enough."

Given Meng Chuyuan's intelligence and talent, the director felt that this level of difficulty should not be a big deal for her, so he rejected her proposal and asked her to redo it.

Meng Chuyuan understood what the director meant: "That means it has to match the reference picture."

She frowned slightly, put down the paper cutting in her hand, picked up a new one, and started drawing.

In fact, she is quite good at drawing, so looking at the reference picture provided by the program team, Meng Chuyuan picked up a pen and drew it completely.

First, Meng Chuyuan measured the size of the paper, then determined the proportion of the drawing area before starting to paint.

Basically, she draws as big as the paper.

Glancing at Meng Chuyuan referring to the picture, Lu Jinsen's eyes paled, his brows etched with confusion: "Why do you draw like this? Wouldn't it be easier if you put the picture under the paper and printed the line drawings?"

Meng Chuyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at him helplessly: "Why should I do that if I can draw?"

That's because the reference picture provided by the program team is very small in scale. If she draws it exactly according to the scale above, a lot of scraps will be cut off when cutting later, which would be a waste.

She didn't want to give up too many usable parts, so she tried to maximize the proportion.

Lu Jinsen was suddenly shocked by what she said, and he said with a sense of righteousness: "You can, but I can't."

[Young Master, you'd better keep your mouth shut, hahaha. You're not capable of this, yet you speak so confidently.]

Although I can't see how Sister Meng's painting is going, I see that she never stops working and is very serious about it, so it should be quite good-looking.

Printing a picture is lazy. Painting directly and being better than printing a picture is strength.

[The young master's question is also my question. Maybe this is the difference between me and the great god.]

[Sister Meng: Are you insulting me by following the lines?]

Liao Jiake happened to overhear their conversation, and then she turned to Liao Jiayan and said, "Why don't we put the picture underneath and draw it, so that when we cut it out it will look the same."

The group started drawing very quickly. Shuangqi brother and sister found that they were using the method of copying the mat map, so they followed suit to trace the map.

This method works but has no real effect.

One side of the paper-cut is red. Although it is very thin, it is not very transparent, making it difficult for them to see the lines underneath.

While the other guests were following suit, Meng Chuyuan had already finished drawing everything.

There were no traces of modification on her paper, and the pencil lines were very light. Under the live camera, the audience could not see the effect of Meng Chuyuan's drawing.

Seeing that she had completed the drawing step, Lu Jinsen just reached out to take the reference picture to use as a basis for drawing, when suddenly, at this moment, Meng Chuyuan handed him the paper with the drawing on it.

Meng Chuyuan: "Cut it along the lines above."

Lu Jinsen was stunned. He didn't expect that she would give him the picture she had worked so hard to draw without even taking a look at it.

He took the paper in astonishment, lowered his eyes and looked at it for a few seconds, and found that it was exactly the same as the picture given by the program team.

Before he was about to draw the next picture, Meng Chuyuan pulled him back from his thoughts: "Don't look at the size of this picture. In fact, the bigger it is, the easier it is to cut. The complex parts are easier to control and it's less likely to make mistakes. Hurry up and cut it. Don't just stand there."

"Sister Chu Yuan, what about me?" Ting Jiu came up to her and looked at her with blinking eyes: "Draw one for me too."

He was just cutting randomly and had already wasted several sheets of paper.

Meng Chuyuan subconsciously reached out and brought all the papers in front of him to himself, saying slowly, "Don't worry, okay? I'll draw for you now."

[Suddenly I feel like this group with one more person is a bit of a burden hahaha]

[Sister Meng's task is arduous, one King leads two Bronze players]

Little Jiujiu is so well behaved, it feels like he's just sitting there waiting for Sister Meng to feed him.

I feel sorry for Sister Meng for 0.01 seconds. Two ignorant brothers made me do the work of three people alone.

Did Sister Meng think that the young master was unreliable, so she drew a large picture for him that was easier to cut?

Tingjiu sat beside her, holding his chin with both hands, looking sideways at Meng Chuyuan, waiting quietly for her to finish painting.

With the composition ideas and methods from the first time, Meng Chuyuan sped up this time and quickly outlined the rabbit's body, then completed the auspicious pattern inside, and then slowly filled in the surrounding patterns.

The other two groups struggled to draw the rabbit, but they felt tracing was too tiring and gave up.

Finally, they followed Meng Chuyuan's method, placed the reference drawing next to them, and drew it according to the reference lines.

However, they did not have the same talent for painting as Meng Chuyuan. Because they had not found a way to control the brush, they made multiple mistakes in the same place. If they wiped the paper too much, not only would the color fade, but it might even cause holes in the paper.

Meng Chuyuan was not affected by the other two groups at all.

Although her group was large and her share was still unresolved, she knew that rushing around would only make things more complicated.

Lu Jinsen was still cutting paper seriously. There were too many lines to cut and many hollows inside. He didn't know how many times he had turned the paper in his hands.

The director looked at the guests immersed in paper cutting and entering the slow-motion variety show effect he wanted, and smiled with satisfaction.

Compared to others, Meng Chuyuan couldn't slow down. She was drawing at a rapid speed, wanting to finish Tingjiu's work as soon as possible, otherwise she wouldn't be able to finish her own.

After finishing the last stroke, Meng Chuyuan threw the drawing directly to Tingjiu. Without even having time to talk to him, he started painting again without stopping.

"Thank you, sis."

When Ting Jiu got Meng Chuyuan's painting, his eyebrows were curved and the corners of his mouth never fell.

Seeing that Lu Jinsen had cut most of the way, Ting Jiu was not willing to be left behind. He picked up the scissors and started cutting along the lines.

On the other side, Qi Yan no longer had much patience.

Especially when she stopped to rest, she looked up and inadvertently saw Lu Jinsen and Tingjiu cutting paper, and their drawings were not finished yet, she felt annoyed.

She hadn't controlled her emotions well and was holding a pencil in her hand, so she subconsciously pressed it on the paper and the pencil tip broke.

Qi Zhen heard the slight sound of the pencil tip hitting the table. He turned his head curiously and found that Qi Yan's pencil was broken.

"Use mine." He placed his pen in front of Qi Yan.

If it wasn't still being broadcast live, Qi Zhen would probably have turned a blind eye.

Qi Yan lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand.

However, she simply ignored Qi Zhen's pencil and took the scissors next to it. She didn't plan to continue drawing the remaining ones.

Qi Zhen: “…”

[What an awkward scene! Qi Yan's temper hasn't changed at all.]

[Why is she looking like this again? I really don’t want to see her.]

[What kind of person is this? How arrogant he is. How can he act so arrogantly?]

Poor brother Qi Zhen, he has to suffer again just after returning. If they reveal that they are not siblings one day, I will believe it.

Mother Lu insisted on clocking in at the company from nine in the morning to six in the evening. She had a lot of things to do, but in the end, none of them fell on her.

She was just holding the title of acting chairman, sitting in the office, signing documents on behalf of others, just for show.

When she is bored, Lu's mother will sit on the sofa and play with her mobile phone.

Mother Lu seemed to be relatively free today, because Lu Qingye had instructed his subordinates not to come to her for everything, so she had nothing to do.

"It's boring." After losing several rounds of Landlord, Mother Lu lost interest and didn't want to play anymore.

Thinking that Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen were recording a show, she searched for the show out of curiosity.

The variety show has been recorded for such a long time, but this is the first time that Lu's mother opened it to watch.

Lu's mother usually doesn't like watching TV shows. Even though she has a son in the entertainment industry, she has never seen a play starring Lu Jinsen.

She registered an account specifically for this purpose, and without changing her account number or profile picture, she directly clicked into the live broadcast room.

"Look at what they are doing..."

The next second, the scene of the variety show live broadcast appeared on the mobile phone screen.

There was still some paper left in Lu Jinsen's hand that he hadn't finished cutting. Seeing this, Lu's mother suddenly became a little surprised: "This kid is so talented, he can actually cut this thing."

I don’t know why, but I feel relieved to see this Lu’s mother.

This gave her such a big surprise right after the live broadcast started, and also made Lu's mother want to continue watching.

When it came to Meng Chuyuan, she also stopped writing and started cutting.

Her drawing speed is quite fast. The other two groups only drew one picture and their progress was not as fast as hers.

Lu Jinsen was about to finish. Although Tingjiu's movements were slow, he had almost finished cutting half of it.

The other two groups also started cutting paper. The drawings they drew were not very realistic. At the beginning, they followed the reference drawings and directly fixed the proportions, leaving no room for development.

The lines drawn by Meng Chuyuan are very smooth, and the small flowers and plants are much easier to draw than before, and he doesn't have to be so restrained when using scissors.

[It seems like Sister Meng is going to win again this time]

The pressure on a three-person team is already high, so they're definitely at a disadvantage if they're competing in speed. However, Sister Meng drew three pictures in one go, which really boosted her speed and left plenty of time for her teammates. Excellent!

The pictures in those two groups look so-so, and the cut lines are weird. I wonder what the finished products will look like.

Wuhu! Who would have thought that the eldest son would be the first to complete the paper-cutting task?

Lu Jinsen held his breath and finally cut out the pattern on the rabbit.

"I'm done." He put down the scissors confidently and looked towards the director.

After hearing this, Tingjiu stopped to take a look, revealing an envious look: "So fast."

After two or three seconds, he slowly withdrew his gaze and subconsciously increased the speed of cutting.

Seeing him suddenly speed up, Meng Chuyuan couldn't help but say, "I drew this picture so carefully, can you please cut it properly? It's okay to go slower."

She basically enlarged the small pattern, so there were no parts that were difficult to cut, but some lines were close to each other. Meng Chuyuan was worried that Tingjiu was not careful enough and would cut it wrong.

"Oh." Ting Jiu tried the method of speeding up, and he also felt that this method was not suitable for him.

At this moment, Mother Lu was watching the live broadcast on the screen. When she heard what Meng Chuyuan had just said, she suddenly realized, "I was wondering, how could that idiot Lu Jinsen possibly cut this thing?"

It turned out that the picture was drawn by Meng Chuyuan, and they were only responsible for cutting it.

Seeing that Meng Chuyuan remained calm at this final moment, Mother Lu inexplicably admired her even more.

She nodded meaningfully and said thoughtfully, "Aye's wife is quite interesting."
