Each design drawing will be projected onto the screen in front.
Enlarge the details to make it easier for all judges to see.
After this design drawing appeared, the judges just took a glance at it, and before they could examine it carefully, their expressions all changed and became gloomy in an instant.
The set of four pictures previously sent by Chuguang Media were designed based on the four great mythical beasts in Eastern mythology.
The element of the four divine beasts is not uncommon. It will appear in every fashion design competition. After all, there are many designers and companies from China.
But since the establishment of the competition, that set was the only one that left a deep impression on them.
The judges are all top designers in the design industry and have sharp eyes.
Even though the design sent by Huaxiu was different from that of Chuguang Media, they could not fail to see that the former copied the latter, but did not copy any of the essential parts.
Not to mention, the original product was four dresses, but Huaxiu's design only showed one.
There are many cases of plagiarism in this kind of design competition, but most of them are plagiarized by unknown designers.
There has never been a case of plagiarism directly copying another entry.
"This Hua Xiu is really brave." The woman sneered and slammed the table and stood up. "Don't you know how capable they are? They even dared to copy the design drawings of Chuguang Media?"
In previous years, although Chuguang Media did not make it into the top three, it was able to leave Huaxiu, which ranked after the 15th place, far behind.
The two are simply not on the same level.
However, if Chuguang Media did not send that set of design drawings this time, Huaxiu would definitely be able to make it into the top three with this set of design drawings.
The other judges also looked serious.
One of them asked: "Is the designer of Huaxiu related to the designer of Chuguang Media? Are they colleagues?"
Otherwise, how could it be copied so similarly?
Even the patterns on the cuffs are exactly the same.
"Let me see." Another judge lowered his head. "The designer of Huaxiu is named 'Zhong Zhiwan'. I haven't heard of him. He should be a new designer. His age is——"
He looked down, his expression changed again: "At 17 years old, it stands to reason that a person of this age shouldn't have such a profound design foundation."
Except for geniuses, of course.
It’s a pity that this design was originally copied.
"It's definitely plagiarism." The judge said grimly, "A design like this won't even make it to the semi-finals. If it gets out, it will be a laughing stock."
What is the most taboo in the design world?
It's nothing but plagiarism.
Once a designer is branded with these two words, his life is over.
"Just return it." A judge on the right also nodded, "Since Huaxiu dared to use plagiarized works this time, I'm sure she will do it again next time."
"Huaxiu and its designers must be banned from participating in future fashion design competitions!"
"No need." The woman raised her hand to stop him. She said calmly, "Since they are so bold as to submit plagiarized works, they must be very confident."
"By this time, the dresses should have been made and the materials should have been prepared. We can't let them waste their efforts."
Hearing her words, the other judges looked over and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "What do you mean?"
The woman was thirty-six years old and her name was Martha Menuhin.
She is the youngest woman to have received the highest honor in the design industry and is also the leader of the jury this time.
She has the final say on all important matters.
"What I mean is, let them continue to participate." Martha nodded, "Make room for one more spot in the finals, and don't let plagiarized works take up other good works."
"Don't you like plagiarism? Let this designer named Zhong Zhiwan plagiarize as much as he wants in broad daylight and make a fool of himself."
Martha has no good feelings about plagiarism and she hates it.
Her work had been plagiarized by her classmates before.
If she hadn't saved the draft in advance, she would not only be bitten back but also kicked out of the design industry.
You also have to watch your own work being stolen by others in exchange for supreme glory.
"It's a good idea," agreed one judge. "It will also serve as a warning to other contestants so that this won't happen again in the future."
After the judging panel finished their discussion, they singled out Huaxiu’s design and then looked at the other entries.
——
Three days later.
Ke Huizhu received an invitation to the finals.
Although this was not the first time Huaxiu received the call, she was still very excited.
She can conclude that with this design, Huaxiu will be able to gain a foothold in the international design world and will continue to receive invitations in the future.
"Boss Ke, don't you think that a high school student can't design such a picture?" The special assistant at the side couldn't help but said, "Besides, this dress actually has some flaws."
For example, the lines at the waistband are a bit jerky.
"Okay, I checked. The style of this "Suzaku" does not belong to any famous designer." Ke Huizhu waved her hand. "If it was an unknown designer, do you think he would have the strength to compete with Hua Xiu? He probably doesn't even have the cost to make this dress."
Just give some hush money, that's enough.
Although Huaxiu is not a top-notch company, it can still help a young designer find his future in the design industry.
The special assistant didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Even if something does happen, we still have the designers to take care of it." Ke Huizhu didn't care. "This kind of thing is not something we need to worry about."
She held the invitation to the finals, thought for a moment, and asked, "How is the making of the dress going?"
"It's already halfway done." The special assistant reported hurriedly, "According to your instructions, we're using the best materials. The materials alone are worth three million."
After the dress is made, they still need to hire a model.
Ke Huizhu's expression finally calmed down and she nodded: "Take me to have a look."
——
Huaxiu specializes in providing customized clothing to small and medium-sized families in the imperial capital, and naturally owns a large factory.
After Ke Huizhu entered, she went straight to the innermost part.
Inside, there were twelve designers and tailors working on this set of gifts.
One of the designers was looking at the right sleeve of the dress with a frown on his face, looking very embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Ke Huizhu walked over, "Time is running out, don't waste it."
"Mr. Ke, I think this pattern is a bit strange." The designer said, "If it is removed, it will not affect the overall look, but after removing it, the dress loses its stunning feel."
"Then I won't go." Ke Huizhu looked at him strangely, "The design drawings have already been submitted, can you still make changes?"
The designer swallowed back the words, “I feel like this pattern forms a word.”
"Get ready. I'll give you another eight days." Ke Huizhu clapped her hands. "After eight days, we'll have the models try it on."
——
Shanghai city.
First Light Media Division.
"Boss, the four dresses you drew have been completed." The female secretary put the documents on the table and said enviously, "If it weren't too expensive, I would also like to try it."
"Do you like it?" Ying Zijin took the document and flipped through it. "After the show, you can pick one to take away."
The secretary was about to be ecstatic, but she heard the next sentence.
"The cost of materials will be deducted from your salary."
“…”
"Forget it then." The female secretary was extremely distressed, "My monthly salary is not even enough to buy a sleeve."
If the design alone is not enough, the materials used to make the clothes are also of paramount importance.
Otherwise, not only will people not feel the beauty of the design, but it will appear vulgar.
"These two sets are for Xie Manyu." Ying Zijin groaned, "She can handle it, and the other two sets are for Shang Yaozhi."
This set of dresses with mythological elements, "Suzaku" and "White Tiger" are women's wear, while "Azure Dragon" and "White Tiger" are men's wear.
Xie Manyu is a double-gold film queen under Chuguang Media. She is 32 years old this year, which is the prime time for a female star.
Although the young actresses born after 1995 and 2000 have more traffic, their momentum is still not enough.
"Okay, Queen Xie will fly back from abroad the day after tomorrow." The female secretary nodded, "Actor Shang has just finished promoting "The Bourne Supremacy"."
"Pink Spy" is the last TV series that Shang Yaozhi filmed at Star Entertainment.
As you can tell from the name, this is a drama with a strong female lead, which shows how viciously Star Entertainment sucks blood.
However, even though it's blood-sucking, the plot and characters of this drama are all online, otherwise it wouldn't be able to be broadcast on TV.
The female secretary walked out with her iPad, still following the hot news.
"Boss, this dress..." She suddenly stopped, "Why is it so similar to ours?"
She returned to her desk and handed over the iPad. There was a Weibo post on the screen.
[@洛子月v: It’s been a long time since I came out, so I’ll give you a sneak peek of the materials. 】
