The image freezes.
Ye Li's name appeared on the big screen.
Exactly, the last one.
Staring blankly at the screen, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Looking at Ye Li, who had a calm expression, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
incredible luck!
Although people say that luck is also a part of strength, Ye Li's luck is just too good, isn't it?
At school, Professor Zhao held her in high regard.
She dumped Zhou Hechen and then hooked up with a bigwig in the business world.
Even Ye Li Studio, which only has two people, has qualified to come to Paris to participate in the competition, and now it has made it to the preliminary rounds at the very bottom.
On the other hand, she...
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't even listen to what the host on stage was saying. Jiang Chengcheng lowered her head, opened her phone, and started photoshopping beautiful pictures to post on her WeChat Moments.
They say comparisons are the thief of joy. She may not be as good as Ye Li, but she's more than capable of outshining everyone else!
Just as P was getting into the swing of things, his arm was jabbed hard by Xiao Qiao on his left.
Jiang Chengcheng glared at Dai Qingzhou, but before she could ask Xiao Qiao what was wrong, she met Dai Qingzhou's cold, angry gaze.
With a start, Jiang Chengcheng realized what was happening.
Embarrassed, Jiang Chengcheng put away her phone, straightened her back, and sat up straight, adopting the attentive posture of someone listening to a lecture.
Look at Ye Li, who has stood calmly and upright on the left from beginning to end.
Then look at Jiang Chengcheng on the right, who seems to collapse if you don't keep an eye on her.
Dai Qingzhou sighed inwardly.
There really are differences between people!
Has she... taken on a hot potato?
Hearing the name Diane with sharp ears, Dai Qingzhou pulled her scattered thoughts back and focused her attention back on the high platform.
Amidst enthusiastic applause, ten judges invited from around the world made their grand entrance.
Miranda, a top jewelry master from the Jewelry Association of the United States.
Julia, the court jeweler for the French royal family.
Susie, head of the Milan Jewelry Fair and chief designer of Forever.
...
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted throughout the venue.
It's important to know that any one of these design masters is a grandmaster figure whom designers revere.
Several of them are jewelry masters who own independent brands.
It would be a great honor to receive feedback from even one of them, let alone have my own design appreciated.
"The preliminary rounds have officially begun..."
A rousing voice rang out, and the host began to explain the rules.
On the big screen, 316 works were displayed in a shuffled scroll. The judges called a stop, and ten works were randomly selected and displayed on the big screen. The designers of the works came on stage.
Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.
Almost everyone here today is an expert, so we'll skip the basic step of explaining the design inspiration behind the work.
The judges asked questions, and the designers answered.
After everyone finished answering, the designers began their self-evaluation.
"If you can make better adjustments to the opponent's existing design and the opponent is convinced, then you win. Conversely, if the opponent proves that your adjustments are unacceptable and makes a reasonable and well-founded rebuttal, then the opponent wins. ... At the same time, if you beat the two designers in your group, you will directly advance to the semi-finals."
Is this the legendary...spot the difference game?
After a brief pause, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
Who dares to say their design is the best?
Learning has no end.
The same applies to design.
Even the masters on the judging panel probably wouldn't dare say their work is the best, let alone them.
The designers who had been eliminated from the preliminary rounds cheered and exclaimed that the competition was worthwhile.
Not only did they experience the fiercest competition, but they also learned a lot about the inspirational collisions between designers. Perhaps, after the judges' evaluation, even more creative ideas will emerge.
The 316 designers who have entered the preliminary round are eager to compete, but tension is also ever-present.
"Rising stars, are you ready?"
The host's booming voice was accompanied by a chorus of "Yes!" from the audience.
The preliminary round has officially begun.
drop.
drop!
drop!!!
As the second hand ticks, 316 works are displayed in miniature on the large screen, resembling a colorful mosaic photo wall.
The dazzling, dappled light spots flashed and shimmered, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
As the countdown ticked to its final tick, the image froze.
Designers in the venue gradually recognized their own work and got up to walk towards the stage.
"President Dai..."
Lydia from Diane Studio was surprised to be selected for the first round and hurriedly stood up and walked into the aisle.
Dai Qingzhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up!"
Ten designers stood on one side of the platform, intently watching the other nine works on the big screen. Each of them wanted to find the biggest flaw in the other's work in the shortest amount of time and win the competition the fastest.
But you have to understand that the people who can stand here are already the best in the industry, so how could they be so easily defeated?
People started speaking one after another.
Some people disagreed.
Someone on the stage let out a long sigh of relief.
Some people then stepped down looking dejected.
When only 5 people remained on stage, the host announced that time was up, and the first round ended.
Taking a deep breath, Dai Qingzhou turned around and saw Ye Li looking down at her phone, typing on the keyboard.
At first glance, it looks like a chat window with someone?
After a moment of surprise, a smile appeared in Dai Qingzhou's eyes.
They're definitely young.
The saying "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" is true.
It's true that he was young and impetuous.
