While the two were talking, suddenly there was a commotion in front of them, and people moved towards the convention and exhibition center.
"Time is up!"
Tang Congyi, Feng Wen and others entered the hall.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a dazzling display. The glass display cabinets are dazzling under the lights, and inside are exquisite wood carvings.
Neither of them stopped.
The peripheral works are all works by enthusiasts or craftsmen for ordinary people to view.
For true experts, their works will be placed at least in the central area.
"Damn it! Who the hell arranged the position!"
After walking around for a while, Feng Wen found the palm-sized wood carving in the far corner of the central area.
Suddenly I felt very angry.
"Hey." Tang Congyi sighed.
The location of this exhibition has been decided a long time ago. It is based on reputation, rather than appreciating the past one by one, and dividing the works according to their quality.
If it is the latter, this wooden sculpture should be placed at the highest place in the center and be admired by others.
Just like the special platinum booth in the distance, only five works are displayed.
At the highest point is a peacock made of golden nan wood.
The nanmu is as delicate as fat, with a crystal-clear background, and the neat and orderly lines of gold threads form the feathers of this peacock. The blooming tail feathers are dotted with colorful jewels.
It stands with its head raised, exuding a sense of nobility and magnificence, which is extremely eye-catching.
When people enter the venue, they will notice this noble peacock statue at first sight.
As for the four works on the second step, they appear much bleaker and have completely become mere foils.
The first place always attracts the most attention. Who would care about the second place, or even the third or fourth place?
I don’t know if the organizer put them together intentionally.
Feng Wen and Tang Congyi were equally attracted by this lifelike peacock wood carving.
"The Golden Bird Comes to the World", author: Yun Huaying.
“I didn’t expect that Master Yun Huaying would also participate in the exhibition.”
"The rumors are indeed true. Four years ago, she was conceived of this piece of work. She traveled to the mountains and forests at home and abroad, lived with wild peacocks for a long time, and spent another year looking for the best materials. Sure enough... Huang Tian didn't
Thank you for your hard work, this work is enough to be passed down to the world."
"It is said that Master Yun Huaying originally wanted to carve a golden phoenix, but unfortunately there is no phoenix in the world..."
People nearby were talking a lot.
Tang Congyi and Feng Wen shook their heads in unison after looking away.
"I always feel like there's still something missing." Feng Wen said to himself.
"I think so too. I pay too much attention to the gorgeous appearance, but ignore the connotation, and fail to portray the charm that the peacock should have..."
Since seeing Master Zhou's work, the two of them have become much more picky in their aesthetics.
Before Tang Congyi finished speaking, a cold snort came from not far away.
"Shameless talk!"
"Do you know what Shen Yun is? Using some lofty words, you can question authority and get a sense of satisfaction from it?"
"When Master Yun Huaying became famous, you two were still wearing crotchless pants. How dare you pretend to understand and give advice on her hard work?"
There were two pairs of men and women nearby, all staring coldly at Feng Wen and others.
Apparently the words of the two people were heard by the crowd.
"Four days ago, I really didn't understand what Shen Yun was. But a master made me clearly feel the so-called Shen Yun."
Tang Congyi pondered for two seconds, neither angry nor annoyed.
"Are you Tang Congyi?" Suddenly, someone in the group recognized Tang Congyi's identity.
Then he laughed loudly, "You can't be so flattered by some fools that you really think you are a master? You are still far away from being a master."
A fat man sneered, "Who am I talking about? Tang Congyi, you said you know what Shen Yun is, then you can tell me."
"This... can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words." Tang Cong smiled slightly, Master? Ever since he got Master Zhou's work, he felt that his level was not far from that of Master Zhou.
"Pooh!"
"After all, you are just planning to act rogue? If you can't explain it, what else can you say about Shen Yun? Would you rather match it?"
A young woman in a dress with burgundy curly hair rolled her eyes.
"I can't tell, but you can see for yourselves." Tang Cong took a step to the side, and Feng Wen also gave way.
A small wooden sculpture was displayed in front of them.
"ridiculous……"
Before he finished speaking, the group of people froze, staring at the wood carvings. They didn't say anything for a long time, and subconsciously kept getting closer to the wood carvings, wanting to see them up close.
…
On the other side, in front of the exquisite platinum booth, three or four extraordinary people were surrounded by a group of people.
In the middle is an old man in a suit, about eighty years old, with white hair and beard, and the other is a tall woman wearing a white cheongsam, still charming.
"Mr. Chu, what do you think of my work?" Yun Huaying smiled confidently.
She spent a lot of effort and financial resources to carve this piece of work, The Golden Bird. It is the most proud work of her carving career.
"Excellent! It cleverly combines the characteristics of golden nanmu with the nobility of the peacock. The lines are natural and natural." Chu Shulin said seriously, nodded in agreement, and glanced at the golden peacock from time to time.
"How about your piece of Bodhi Enlightenment?" Yun Huaying narrowed her eyes slightly, "I want to hear the truth."
"It's worse than it is." Chu Shulin did not hesitate.
Yun Huaying's smile became even brighter, "Your opinion is consistent with the judges of Avis International Craftsmanship. They also think that it is better than your work. Therefore, they have already decided on the winner of this Avis Gold Award."
"Avis International!"
People who heard it nearby exclaimed. This is an international award, recognized as the most authoritative arts and crafts award. The entries include reliefs, sculptures, paintings and other arts.
Thirty-nine years have passed since Chu Shulin's last achievement. If he can win this honor, he will definitely make Chinese wood carving famous in the world again.
Involuntarily, everyone looked at Yun Huaying with even more passionate and admiring gazes.
"Congratulations, you deserve this award for your level." Chu Shulin's performance was very dull.
"Oh? Then do you think this work has reached the level of a masterpiece?" Yun Huaying's voice trembled slightly.
Rather than any international awards, she cares more about existing in the realm of legend.
The goal pursued by a group of woodcarving masters.
Chu Shulin looked at her deeply and did not answer for a long time.
The enthusiasm of the people around me is high. This is already the highest level of wood carving. What is it if it is not a master?
It's a pity that Chu Shulin shook his head, "It's almost perfect, but...it's still a little bit short."
Yun Huaying's smile disappeared, "Ten years ago, you evaluated yourself the same way! Why? Have you really seen masterpieces? The descriptions in some ancient books are too mysterious. No one in this world can do it!"
"I've seen it." Chu Shulin's faint voice was like a stone falling into water, causing ripples.
The people around him were stunned for a moment.
"Have you seen it before? Where is that thing?" Yun Huaying clenched her fists unwillingly. She did not believe Chu Shulin's words.
At this time, Chu Shulin looked ahead in astonishment and suddenly pushed aside the crowd, "Get out of the way!"
