Was he asking her to guess a question? Or was he trying to test her abilities?
Who was Zhou Yi? He had been in the business world for over a decade or two, but he could see through this childish trick at a glance. He had no interest in playing along.
Her expression remained calm and she was not in a hurry to answer him.
The elimination round consisted of random questions. Zhou Yi had indeed made some guesses before. At first, she thought that the questions of this era should be relatively easy, but after having just seen the contestants who advanced from the preliminary round at the door, she had a new opinion and believed that the questions would not be too simple, and might even be quite difficult.
But she didn't bring it up. If she expressed her guess now, if she guessed right, it might cause unnecessary trouble. If she guessed wrong, she would be in a passive position in the team later.
"Mr. Ma, I really can't guess this, but no matter what the title is, the work speaks for itself." Zhou Yi smiled and said confidently.
Ma Peipei squinted her eyes and looked at Zhou Yi inquiringly, wanting to know where her confidence came from. Although she was confused, she saw that Zhou Yi didn't want to continue this topic. They were in the same group and she and Xu Xiaoxiu knew each other, so it was not good to continue to pester her.
"Actually, I can't guess it either. We'll know when it's announced in the afternoon. And you're right, the work speaks for itself. I agree." Ma Peipei said with a smile.
Everyone continued to discuss creative inspiration and industry development issues, and no longer worried about the direction of the topic. After all, there was no point in worrying about it.
Everyone stayed here at noon. Jinghai University provided meals. After lunch, everyone strolled around the campus for a while and then rested directly in the classroom.
Shortly after the break ended, a tutor came into each classroom to announce the questions. The tutors stood at the door, opened the test papers in public, and then read them out.
The first round of creative work was to design a series of women's suits. The title was set but the theme was not. As Zhou Yi expected, the difficulty increased by two levels.
After the instructor finished reading, he handed the topic requirements to the group leaders and turned to leave. Zhou Yi's mouth curled up slightly inadvertently, which happened to fall into Ma Peipei's eyes.
He frowned. Why did she look like that? Did she guess the question?
But how is this possible? In the first round of the preliminary competition, everyone would have guessed that he would create a single product. Even he hadn't thought about creating a set series. After all, the difficulty of a single product and a set is different. If he directly released a set series, the difficulty would increase too much. There are many college students among the contestants. Isn't this difficulty gap too big?
Why did Zhou Yi guess that it was not a single item?
In fact, it was when she just registered that she suddenly realized that the level of the contestants this year was very high. The returnee Xu Xiaoxiu, the top talented student Qin Yue, the outstanding graduate of the previous year Ma Peipei, and many other contestants were not ordinary people in their conversation.
From this we can see that the quality of any work in the elimination round must be quite good, or even outstanding, so the probability of a single-product question appearing in the preliminary round is actually very low.
In fact, it is not much more difficult to improve a set than a single item. If the competition level of any work is high and the preliminary round is a team competition, then the possibility of a set series design is quite high.
Unfortunately, Ma Peipei would never have guessed what Zhou Yi was thinking!
After the creative direction was clarified, Ma Peipei led the group in a discussion and also shared some successful set series design cases, hoping to give the team members some inspiration and help in creative design.
After about an hour of communication and sharing, he asked each team member to come up with a theme design based on the direction today, summarize it tomorrow morning, and select the best solution to produce a series of designs.
The whole afternoon was spent in a creative atmosphere. Bai Richun and Ross had tried to put pen to paper, but their designs always lacked meaning.
Lin Lin was not in a hurry to start writing. He sat by the window and looked at the summer at Jinghai University outside. Occasionally, he closed his eyes and felt the chirping of cicadas outside. He was not in a hurry at all.
Ma Peipei kept his eyes closed, and if he hadn't been rhythmically tapping his shoes, everyone would have thought he was asleep.
Zhou Yi also sat by the window, leisurely looking at the cotton-like white clouds floating in the blue summer sky, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, a bit like playing the piano with one hand.
Occasionally, a cool breeze blew her long hair from the window. The scene was very beautiful, but she was unaware of it. However, Lin Lin saw it, and this touch of amazement was already in his heart.
I saw him quickly lowering his head and drawing on the paper on the table. If he was not satisfied with a drawing, he would crumple it up and continue, repeating this countless times.
In the evening, Ma Peipei asked everyone to go back and rest today, and to gather at 8:30 tomorrow morning to summarize everyone's theme design works at 9:00.
The other three group members continued to stay in the classroom to write and draw, but Zhou Yi picked up her small backpack and walked out of the classroom.
Ma Peipei watched Zhou Yi walk away with ease, without any sense of urgency, and there was even more confusion in his eyes.
I wondered, was Zhou Yi confident enough, or did he simply not care about this match?
Zhou Yi had just walked a few steps out of the classroom when he ran into Xu Xiaoxiu who was also walking out of the school.
The two greeted each other and walked out of the school chatting casually. They were both tactful enough not to talk about anything related to the competition. This was a professional quality that both of them possessed.
Xu Xiaoxiu was also surprised by Zhou Yi's ease, but also had a little doubt whether she was confident or just giving up?
But on second thought, this is not just a game for Zhou Yi, but also a great opportunity for Meiyi Clothing. She can't just give up, which means she is completely confident.
Xu Xiaoxiu suddenly felt a sense of crisis as if a strong enemy was standing right in front of him, and his originally relaxed expression became a little nervous.
