jade life

When Su Zhiyang participated in the second "Jade Carving Contest", Rong Xingchen watched the live broadcast on the Internet. Because of the success of the first "Jade Carving Contest", the ratings of the second "Jade Carving Contest" skyrocketed, which made the TV station leaders excited endlessly.

After the knockout round of the first jade carving competition, the TV station invited Su Zhiyang to rush to produce a new commercial, with Su Zhiyang as the main feature.

Originally, Su Zhiyang wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the hard invitation from the TV station, so he finally agreed.

In the advertising video, Su Zhiyang didn’t say anything, just sat quietly on a chair, carefully carving a piece of jade with a carving knife, when the camera moved to him, he raised his head and looked slightly at the camera. smile.

After the promotional video was aired, special comments on the Internet: That slight smile crossed the distance of the TV and inspired countless accelerated heartbeats.

The second "Jade Carving Contest" chose a new scene. The main venue is not too big, but there are a lot of spectators, but the scene is full of seats.

This time, the camera was aimed at Su Zhiyang purposefully, which indeed attracted a lot of screams from the scene.

Su Zhiyang was surprised to find that someone in the audience was holding up a "Su Zhiyang I love you" sign, as if he was a fan.

Well, he really didn't want to be a star, did he?

Among the [-] contestants selected, besides Su Zhiyang, Qiu Xiang was also lucky to be selected. In the knockout round, he carved the meaning of "more than every year", a fish playing among the lotus leaves, a very traditional carving pattern, but because of the integrity And a good sense of art, was selected into the top twenty.

In fact, most of the top [-] contestants are older and experienced jade carvers.They may not be regarded as masters of jade carving, but after this competition, their works will be sought after by more people and even collected.

Not to mention Su Zhiyang's own jade-like appearance, even his age is the youngest among the twenty contestants.

The youngest 12-year-old player in the first match was eliminated in the first knockout round.

The competition time of this jade carving competition was extended to one hour, and after the on-site scoring, an on-site voting session was added.Off-site voting is also carried out at the same time, until the on-site voting ends, and off-site voting stops at the same time.

Su Zhiyang promised his master Shi Yonghe that if he wanted to carry forward the Yu family school in this jade carving competition, he would naturally do what he said.

When he got the unified jade that was distributed this time, he thought for a moment.This is a piece of Hetian jade white jade seed material with black skin, the material is much better than the last knockout.

In this competition, each contestant got different jade seed materials, even with some flaws, making it more challenging to carve.

Su Zhiyang conceived to carve a jade pendant, and the content of the carving was a combination of Chinese and Western.First of all, it combines western aesthetics with Chinese jade carvings to create a lively artistic conception.Carving a landscape work this time, the overall layout is ingenious and appropriate, as if there is a breath of air flowing between the landscape, making the whole picture vivid and full of vitality, and then carving traditional Chinese characters on the jade skin on the side of the landscape work, while retaining the The white jade part forms a visual contrast with it, creating a solemn and heavy feeling, adding to the historical atmosphere of the work.

One hour is too short, and the time for thinking has to be deducted. Su Zhiyang didn't have time to draw a draft on the jade, so he started directly.

In the first knockout round, Su Zhiyang started directly without drawing a draft, because he carved the lotus figure he was very familiar with, but this time, if he wanted to innovate, but still had no draft, it was a bit risky.

But Su Zhiyang didn't have time to think about it, because the carving time this time was too tight, especially the carving of the last few traditional Chinese characters, which might take a lot of time. He conceived the pattern in his mind, and started to carve directly.

The engraving process is not beautiful, after all, jade shavings will continue to emerge, and it is difficult for others to see what pattern you want to engrave.

Under normal circumstances, time is too tight. Most jade carvers will choose relatively simple patterns or patterns that they are very familiar with to carve. Like Su Zhiyang, they will directly use the black skin of the seed material in the jade to highlight the pattern of Chinese characters. The practice is even more rare.

Time passed by, many people's eyes were fixed on Su Zhiyang, and the camera naturally would not let go of the focus of increasing the ratings.

When the bell representing "Time's up" rang, Su Zhiyang breathed out, put down the carving knife, took a piece of cloth and gently wiped it on the jade, and the whole carving work was displayed, Su Zhiyang smiled slightly.

The following time is for each contestant to introduce his work.In the first knockout round, Su Zhiyang was the No.18 contestant, but after the knockout round, Su Zhiyang was ranked last. I don't know if this was intentional by the TV station.

The first contestant still carves the traditional pattern - Buddha Yin Fulai.This pattern is engraved with Maitreya laughing happily, forgetting worries when watching it, and attracting bats to dance, implying peace and happiness.

Because the jade carvings carved on site are not polished, they look a little rough.But the carving is simple and the lines are smooth, which is already considered a rare work.

Several judges scored separately, and finally gave a score of 7:5, because it is the first contestant, so this score is not comparable.

The second contestant also carved a traditional pattern - Fushou Ruyi.The design engraves a dancing bat, floating on the surrounding Ruyi, with a magnificent shape and auspicious meaning.

This pattern is simpler, and finally the judges gave a score of 7 points and 3 points.

Most of the engravings by successive contestants were auspicious patterns with good meanings, and the highest score was 8:9.

And the second brother Qiu Xiang carved the pattern of dragon and phoenix, because the jade material he received had a crack, so he boldly hollowed out the crack directly to form a hollowed out pattern without affecting the beauty of the carving , just because of this, the judges gave a higher score of 8:8.

In the end it was Su Zhiyang's turn. When Su Zhiyang's work was presented in front of everyone, everyone felt that this jade carving seemed to be different from other jade carvings.

One of the judges directly explained the reason: the works of other contestants have not been polished and polished, and they look relatively rough, but this work of Su Zhiyang, although it has not been polished, has already had the effect of polishing and polishing. Smooth and delicate, beautiful and smooth lines, several ancient Chinese characters are distinct in black and white, and Western landscape paintings are delicate and soft, all of a sudden appearing in front of you.

It is hard to say whether the jade carving works can be liked by others. After all, everyone has their own preferences. Maybe some people like simple and clear ones, and some people like delicate and beautiful ones. It's good, but it can still be recognized by most people.

Not to mention the Western landscape paintings, that is, the few black and white ancient Chinese characters, you can already see Su Zhiyang's skills.Thinking back to the process of carving just now, Su Zhiyang didn't even have time to make a draft, and he directly sculpted with a knife, but it was so perfect, it was really amazing.

The final score given by the judges was 9:5, which was the highest score in this competition.

In the subsequent on-site voting, Su Zhiyang was also far ahead, 2 votes more than No.130.

The off-site voting was also in full swing. When the on-site voting ended, Su Zhiyang was also far ahead in the number of off-site voting, even more than 2 votes more than No.3.

Su Zhiyang deservedly became No.1 on the scene, and this No.1 is more recognized by people because of his skills.

And the second brother Qiu Xiang got No.3.

Shi Yonghe wept with joy, the camera turned to Shi Yonghe's body, live broadcasting his excited expression, which also made him embarrassed to see people for several days.

The host invited Su Zhiyang to the stage and asked him to give an acceptance speech. Su Zhiyang looked at the excited look of the master and said with a smile, "I inherit from the "Yujia sect". It was the master who brought me in and taught me how to carve. My wish since I was a child is to carry forward the "Yujia School" and let more people appreciate the artistic perception brought by our traditional Chinese skills. Today, I am standing here, and I can finally proudly say a word to the master: Master , did you see it? I did it! Thank you, Master!"

Shi Yonghe wept with joy, the camera turned to Shi Yonghe's body, live broadcasted his excited expression in front of the people of the whole country, and made him embarrassed to see people for several days.

Of course, this is something.

Rong Xingchen watched the live broadcast, feeling proud.At this moment, he really wished he could hold Su Zhiyang tightly in his arms, and feel his excitement and happiness together!

After this jade carving competition, Su Zhiyang will start school.Rong Xingchen's injury has also improved, and the matter of becoming a supernatural person was also discovered by Robert, a supernatural person from country E. It seems that there is no need to pretend to be sick now.

Rong Xingchen considered whether to return to Huaguo again.

At this moment, Rong Xingchen received a call.

This call was from Raymond. Robert had already told Raymond that Rong Xingchen had become a supernatural being. After all, there were only two supernatural beings in country E, and a country needed the concerted efforts of supernatural beings.

"Dear Summer, I'm Raymond." Raymond didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point, "We received news that the supernatural beings of country A discovered a spirit stone mine in the Atlantic Ocean, and this news was spread out somehow. , Now all the supernatural organizations in various countries should have received the news. We originally wanted to block the news of your becoming a supernatural person, but it is no longer necessary. Robert and I have only obtained one spirit stone for so many years , and that piece of spirit stone has already helped Robert enter the "solidification" stage, and helped me enter the "liquefaction" stage. One can imagine how precious the spirit stone is. The news of the spirit stone mine will not come from nothing, so this For this mission, the three of us set off to the Atlantic Ocean together, fighting for every opportunity to get more spirit stones."

Rong Xingchen's expression was serious, and he responded directly on the phone, "Okay."

Although Rong Xingchen is not yet ready to enter the supernatural world, time is running out for him. He can only work hard to improve himself so that he can integrate into the world he just broke into faster.
