The moment to test your filial piety has arrived!
[I'm not going to steam buns, I'm going to fight for pride! I'll crush them and avenge your master, my idol!]
Go for it!!!
In the meme, a little yellow duck with pigeon-toed gait draws a 40-meter-long sword from behind it with a sharp sound.
With a single slash, the little black duck opposite the little yellow duck spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Coupled with Ye Li's menacing yet excited "Charge!", the comedic effect is off the charts.
Everyone: !!!
The melodious and light music echoed in the venue, and everyone came to their senses to realize that the competition had officially begun.
Like other competitions, "Starry Night" is divided into three rounds: preliminary round, semi-final, and final.
In the preliminary round, each team will submit a work that matches the participants.
The judges will score each participant to determine the top 100 who will advance to the semi-finals.
For each player who makes the cut, the team earns 1 point.
In the semi-finals, each advancing contestant earns 5 points for their country's representative team.
Reaching the finals, the gold, silver, and bronze trophies represent 100, 50, and 10 points respectively.
Ultimately, the team with the highest score is the winning "Starry Night" team.
This directly determines which country will host the "Night of Stars" two years later.
"The competition has officially begun..."
With a wave of his hand, the host displayed thousands of design works on the large screen, resembling a photo wall.
The ten jewelry design masters on stage are all world-renowned top designers.
In addition, the 100 designers in the first three rows below the stands were well-known designers, fashion media professionals, and fashionistas at the forefront of fashion invited by the organizers of "Starlight Night".
In other words, to win an award, your design must not only be recognized by professionals, but also allow those who do not understand jewelry design to appreciate its uniqueness and beauty.
drop!
Beep beep!
As the 10-second countdown began, the more than 1,000 scrambled works were randomly divided into 10 sections, which were then assigned to the 10 professional judges on stage.
Meanwhile, 100 amateur judges in the audience can randomly select works to comment on and score.
The large screen was divided in two, with one half representing the professional judging panel and the other half representing the public judging panel.
Everyone looked down at the design drawings on their tablets, deciding whether to approve or reject them.
The tense atmosphere instantly intensified.
Bang!
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a heavy punch was heard.
More than a thousand people in the audience looked up at the same time.
A jade green necklace named "Flowing Light" was the first to appear on the big screen.
Everyone was completely baffled.
The host explained with great enthusiasm: "If a work is approved by both professional judges and more than 90% of the public judges, then regardless of the final score, the work will directly advance to the semi-finals."
"Not only does the design have to be outstanding, but you also need to be lucky enough to be seen by the public jury!"
"That's right, it's not enough for the judges on stage to just approve it."
"This... is this considered a chosen one? After all, the works are selected randomly. How easy is it for them to be seen by the audience judges at the same time? Let alone for 90% of the audience judges to like and approve them all! This is just too difficult, isn't it?"
"The Flowing Light is so beautiful! The design is beautiful, and the name is beautiful too!"
"Such a poetic name, you can tell it's full of Chinese style just by listening to it. It must be the work of the Chinese team, right?"
"..."
There was a buzz of discussion off the field, and the designers all turned to look in the direction of the Chinese team.
The designers from the Chinese team looked at each other in bewilderment.
Clearly, no one has claimed it.
Compared to the semi-finals and finals where the questions are randomly selected, the entries in the preliminary rounds are prepared in advance.
All the works were selected from the best individual works of the designers after countless meetings within the team.
"Flowing light" is clearly not included in this category.
Ye Li's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up again, sure enough, Hu Jingyao's face was practically overflowing with smugness.
Cheng Yanxi, standing beside him with bright eyes, exclaimed with admiration, "Brother Yao, you're amazing!"
When someone from the US team claimed that it was Hu Jingyao's work, there was a brief commotion in the area to the left.
The first work to be revealed will naturally attract more attention.
Not to mention, they even have Chinese faces on the US team.
Those who knew the inside story looked at Hu Jingyao and then back at Xie Chenlu, their eyes almost unable to conceal their gloating and gossipy intent.
It's as if it's saying: Isn't this what your Chinese ancestors meant by "the student surpasses the teacher"?
"President Ye..."
Look at Xie Chenlu, whose face is as still as an ancient well, revealing no emotion.
Let's take another look at Ye Li and Wan Mingyi, who remain calm and composed.
Jolian tugged at Ye Li's sleeve, "I think this flowing light design is pretty good. What do you think, we... no, not us, but us, what do you think, Xiao Mu and I, with our skills, when can we kill that traitor in a second?"
Hu Jingyao and Cheng Yanxi broke away from their master and even represented the United States in the competition, which united the entire YL Studio in their hatred.
Jolian empathized with him.
Xie Chenlu's skill level is beyond question; he is Hu Jingyao's master.
Even without this incident, he would still be Ye Li's idol and the most powerful boss in the eyes of everyone at YL Studio.
Needless to say, Morning and the others are his direct disciples who received the master's true teachings.
By all accounts, she and Mu Qingning are the weakest in the studio.
