Be gentle

Since the purpose of this competition is not simply to allow contestants to compete in skills, the judges also took other aspects into consideration when selecting the ten round-robin contestants.

There are many kinds of embroidery, among which the four famous embroidery of Su embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Shu embroidery and Yue embroidery are the most well-known. In order to popularize science to the public, the program team hopes that at least one contestant will be in each category of these four famous embroidery.As for some other local famous embroideries, excellent players can also be given priority.

Because the venue of the competition was in province Z, Si Tong was afraid that there would be too few contestants in other categories, so he invited a few embroiderers who were well-known before.

There are ten contestants, two men and eight women, including two each from Suzhou Embroidery, Hunan Embroidery, Yue Embroidery and Shu Embroidery, and one from Hangzhou Embroidery and Beijing Embroidery. Two male contestants are from Guangdong Embroidery and one from Hunan Embroidery.

All kinds of embroidery have distinct characteristics, and the styles of male and female contestants also have obvious differences. It is of great benefit to popularization of science and entertainment, but it is quite a headache for the judges in terms of competition evaluation.

Huaran is No. 2 in this competition, and the No. [-] contestant before her happens to be the male Cantonese embroidery contestant.Guangdong embroidery has two branches: Chao embroidery and Guang embroidery. Legend has it that it first started from the Li nationality, a small minority. In ancient times, most embroidery workers were men, which is extremely rare in embroidery.

The second contestant, surnamed Li, is called Li Jinming. He comes from G City Embroidery Craft Factory. His ancestors were extremely famous Cantonese embroidery workers. G City Embroidery Craft Factory has been established for more than [-] years, and has made great contributions to the development of Guangzhou Embroidery. Apprentice teaching makes Guangzhou embroidery rejuvenate.

The craft factory was formally restructured two years ago, and Li Jinming's participation in the competition this time was the result of Si Tong's communication and invitation.

He is only in his early thirties, not too old among the players, and he is tall and handsome, standing on the stage is very eye-catching.

His work this time is called "Bird Feather". The main body of the picture is a male peacock about to fly, and the background is complicated and gorgeous flowers.

The theme of flowers, birds, insects and fish does not require contestants to put these four things into the same work, and contestants can choose at will according to their intentions.Due to time constraints, most contestants only picked one or two of them, and Li Jinming chose flowers and birds.

Guangdong embroidery is famous for its diverse use of threads and bright colors, and is especially good at expressing flowers and birds.The novelty of Li Jinming's work this time is that he directly uses the thread made of peacock feathers to express the peacock, which can be described as lifelike and gorgeous.

The judges all gave high evaluations and praised him greatly.

Hua Ran took the stage after him, the pressure can be imagined.And this time, because Bai Shuyi had to attend class, she couldn't cheer for her on the spot, which made her very unsure.Fortunately, Shen Shenshen didn't miss the recording this time, and arrived at the scene early to encourage her secretly.

The lights on the stage were still dazzling, this time Huaran was not as at a loss as last time, and quickly entered the state.After saying hello to the judges and the audience, and having a brief chat with the host, the work was pushed onto the stage by the assistant.

On the stage is a pair of embroidery with a square of [-] centimeters. The base material is nylon silk. The background of the pattern displayed in front of everyone should be the water's edge. Not open yet.

A crow-colored water bird stands on the bank, with its long neck tilted, its eyes seem to be focused on this lotus.

The color of the whole work is clear and elegant, and the stitches are not complicated. Coupled with the background of the water in the early morning, the freshness comes to the face.

Huo Hanwen was the first to say: "Xiaohua's work is the essence of the beauty and liveliness of Suzhou embroidery, but I really can't see anything outstanding just looking at it this way. Can you introduce its characteristics to us?"

Several judges have seen it before, so they naturally know the special features of this work, but for the sake of the program effect, the play that should be performed still needs to be performed.

Knowing the process, Huaran was much calmer than before, and then said, "Mr. Huo, before the introduction, can I move the display stand?"

"of course can."

The male host hurried up to help, while the female host first probed to the back and exclaimed.

After the display stand rotated around, everyone saw another scene.A golden carp is lurking in the water, and a dragonfly is suspended in mid-air.

"It turned out to be double-sided different-color embroidery. It's awesome to be able to embroider such a work in such a short period of time." Wang Yuanzhi nodded approvingly, "Flowers, birds, insects and fish, in order to show their skills and maintain their intentions, the previous contestants only chose One or two things, what makes you prefer to sacrifice the expressiveness of the stitches and embroider all these patterns into the work?"

The double-sided different-color embroidery is amazing, but the reason why the competition is a competition is because it has a time limit.Compared with the previous two contestants who focused on expressing the same thing, Huaran's work is obviously much simpler in stitching.

"I was also troubled for a long time when I conceived, how to choose. Later, I remembered what the judge Xiao Zhen said, and felt that I had no advantage in skills compared with other seniors, so I finally decided to implement my idea. Embroidery needs to go To get rid of arrogance, and at the same time be patient and meticulous. In fact, it is not suitable for our type of game. I believe other players have a stronger feeling that the game limits their strength, and this is why I am closing the gap with them. Opportunity."

"So do you want to make up for these gaps through creativity?" Xiao Zhen obeyed Bai Shuyi's words, and kept smiling in this game, just matching her questions and her performance in the previous game. People think she hides a knife in her smile.

"I hope so much, I just don't know if I can do it."

"Different-color embroidery is really good, but it's too creative. If you embroider flowers, birds, insects and fish on both sides, what is the idea of ​​this work?"

"This requires some cooperation from the scene so I can explain it better."

It has to be said that Huaran's presentation was very effective for the show, and the director began to feel a little regretful that she appeared in the third place.

"Huaran, just tell me what cooperation you need." The male host was very active.

After Huaran expressed her request, the lighting engineer gradually dimmed the lights in the studio, and only kept the spotlight on the work.The light comes through from the back, and the thin nylon material clearly reflects the pattern on the back under the light.

The dragonfly stands on the tip of the lotus, the carp hides under the lotus leaf, and the place where the water bird is pointing its neck is actually where the carp on the back is.The carp hides at the bottom of the lotus leaf, and seems to be coveting the dragonfly on the lotus.

Fresh, indeed fresh.Not only is the way of expression fresh, the air in the morning is fresh, and the ingredients are also fresh.

It is clearly a beautiful work, but everyone can see a bit of tension.

After the effect comes out, there is no need for Huaran to explain too much.

Huo Hanwen was amazed, "Not only put flowers, birds, insects and fish into the same work, but also conceived such an ingenious display method, which brought double-sided different-color embroidery to the fullest."

Wang Yuanzhi also said: "Xiaohua has a clear understanding of herself and her position, which is the most valuable thing for young people. Skills can be honed, but creativity is hard to come by."

Each of the ten contestants participating in this competition has the ability to design independently, but there are strengths and weaknesses, which is also a very important item for scoring.

These two judges have always spoken softly, so it is not surprising that they gave such evaluations. The audience held their breath and waited for Xiao Zhen to speak.

"This idea is indeed very unique and special," Xiao Zhen lived up to everyone's expectations, and said slowly, "Since you have admitted that you are weak in terms of skills, then I will not comment anymore. This time I will mainly talk about your idea."

The lights have been turned on again, and everyone can clearly see the smile on Xiao Zhen's face.

"The effect of your work on the stage is very good, but have you ever thought about whether it is not intuitive enough if you simply put it on display? I think that as a creator, you should not only consider yourself, but also consider appreciation By……"

Among the audience, even the supporters of other contestants felt that Xiao Zhen was just looking for trouble.People participate in the competition for the purpose of displaying. It is too common to be outstanding, and it is too unique and the display method is too complicated, which is not conducive to promotion.

This is... too much, right?

Shen Shenshen still doesn't know about the relationship between Xiao Zhen and Hua Ran, so he just finds it quite strange.

Huaran seems to be devoting herself to the game, but in fact, she has always been thinking about Bai Shuyi, so she didn't react much to Xiao Zhen's seemingly targeted words this time.

"Thank you teacher for your comments, I will pay attention to it later."

The program group secretly complained.They wished that there would be more players like this, but they didn't expect Xiao Zhen to give such a direction.

Thanks to Huo Hanwen's old way, he said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, I think the competition belongs to the competition, and the creation that can take the stage factor into consideration is not the meaning of the competition?"

Wang Yuanzhi nodded and said: "I can understand Xiao Xiao's thoughts. Now that embroidery wants to be popularized, it is true that we can no longer produce some high-end works. But the purpose of the competition is to show everyone the best side, and we should also encourage Players innovate and create new heights."

The other two judges have said the same thing, so of course Xiao Zhen will not refute.

"The two teachers are right. This is the truth. I take back what I just said."

Hua Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and got off the stage after thanking the judges.The fourth contestant had already made preparations, and even took a special look at her before going on stage.

Hanaran's mind was full of Bai Shuyi, and she didn't know that she was starting to attract the attention of other contestants.

The author has something to say: Xiao Zhen: Your work is naive... (my daughter is awesome)

Hanaran: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you are right, OK (how is Xiaobai...)

The embroidery part actually borrows a background, and most of it is based on nonsense. In order not to mislead everyone, I will not write in detail. If you are interested, you can check it yourself.
