Following Yun Huaying's explanation, Zhou Huayang roughly understood the rules of the exchange competition.
In previous years, works will be classified into ten major categories and thirty minor categories, and similar evaluations will be conducted. Three rankings of gold, silver, and bronze will be selected in each of the ten categories.
On this basis, the Crystal Awards will be evaluated, and this last one will compete for all the top works in various fields.
"The Crystal Award is the highest honor in the Global Art Exchange Competition. However, due to its special requirements, no works that meet the requirements have been selected so far. Ninety percent of the participants recognized it. This requirement is too harsh." Chu Shulin echoed from the side.
"Indeed, to break it down, artists in different fields still have somewhat different pursuits of art. Coupled with factors such as the disdain of peers, the most dazzling work in the previous session only received 40% participation.
author’s approval.”
Yun Huaying's eyes showed yearning. The monetary benefits brought by the ranking were secondary. Winning the Crystal Award was undoubtedly a recognition of the winner's level. Everyone who participated in the exchange competition was more or less eager.
This Crystal Award, no... even the Gold Award, is much more important than the Avis International Crafts Award she wanted to participate in before.
"The author of the work Master Yun mentioned is none other than Kelki..." Chu Shulin glanced at Yun Huaying subconsciously.
At the mention of this name, the other person's face became a little unhappy.
Chu Shulin quickly sneered, "At that time, he used a plaster sculpture of Athena's chant, which surpassed all sculptures, including the works of several of our Chinese sculpture masters."
Speaking of this, Chu Shulin sighed.
Wood carvings, stone carvings, etc. are all types of sculpture.
As a leading figure in the field of wood carving, he naturally feels ashamed.
"Hmph, I don't think my golden bird will be inferior to his in this world!" At this time, Yun Huaying raised her chin slightly, showing a hint of arrogance.
"That's natural. Master Yun, the top-quality wood carving that you spent several years polishing will definitely compete with the chant of Athena in this exchange competition."
Chu Shulin agreed very much. He was old and could no longer hold the carving knife steadily, so he did not plan to participate in this session.
"If I had never met Master Zhou again, I would indeed have entered it into the competition, but since I saw Master Zhou's amazing work "Children Playing with Pigs" and under Master Zhou's guidance, I have gained a lot of insights.
The world is nothing but its appearance, and I have already smashed it."
Yun Huaying's smile was full of confidence. After meeting Zhou Huayang's eyes, she bowed respectfully.
"What! It was smashed..."
"I am confident that I can create better works, and I can do it well before the exchange competition, and then our Chinese wood carvings will be praised..."
Yun Huaying suddenly stopped and shook her head, "With Master Zhou here, why do you need me to win glory for Chinese wood carvings?"
"Any piece of Master Zhou's work will definitely become the focus of the exchange competition and surpass all works in the field of sculpture."
Speaking of this, Yun Huaying's eyes became a little more inexplicable. She glanced at Zhou Huayang, but she felt an inexplicable feeling of loss spreading in her heart, and her excitement faded a lot.
"That's right. Master Zhou will definitely shine in the exchange competition this time and become a top artist that attracts global attention." Chu Shulin did not notice anything unusual about Yun Huaying and agreed excitedly.
After all, others are not blessed to receive guidance from Zhou Huayang, so how can I be considered a half-disciple?
"That's right!"
The two stared at Zhou Huayang.
"Forget it, I'm not interested." Zhou Huayang waved his hand.
"Why!" Yun Huaying looked at Zhou Huayang in disbelief.
"Master Zhou, you should think twice. Even if there is a bronze medal work in the exchange competition, a large number of collectors will bid for it, and the price may be two to three million yuan! Silver medals and gold medals are worth tens of millions of yuan.
Sky-high prices.”
"The Athena's Ode in Kelchi sold for a sky-high price of 30 million U.S. dollars!"
"If your work becomes the first to win the Crystal Award, it will completely confirm your title of master and be recognized by the world! Your fame and wealth will also be immeasurable."
Chu Shulin was so anxious that he spoke like a cannonball, trying to dissuade Zhou Huayang.
"Mr. Chu, please don't insult Master Zhou! Is Master Zhou the kind of person who is greedy for vanity and makes profits from his works?"
Yun Huaying's face turned cold. Who did Chu Shulin think Zhou Huayang was when he said these words about money?
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Okay, what's there to argue about?" Zhou Huayang shook his head helplessly, while pouring a cup of tea for the two of them, "I have no interest in competing or anything like that."
"But..." Yun Huaying hesitated to speak.
"With Sister Yun's level, she may not be able to win glory for China. If she works hard during this period, she will definitely make some progress."
"Little fat pig, you still want to eat?" Zhou Huayang lowered his head and glanced at Pang Dun'er. The little bastard's mouth was full of dark chocolate, and a lot of it even rubbed onto Zhou Huayang's trouser legs.
Immediately, he cleaned up the fat boy by himself and poured him another cup of tea.
Yun Huaying and Chu Shulin looked at each other, slightly helpless. They knew that Zhou Huayang didn't want to continue this topic, so they couldn't stop trying to dissuade him.
"After lunch, I will take you to Xishan to carve." Zhou Huayang added.
"Yes, thank you Master Zhou."
"I'll invite you to try the fruit wine brewed in our village later."
"Master Zhou brewed it himself? You must try it."
The three of them chatted casually and no longer brought up the matter of Liusai.
Yun Huaying's eyes flickered, as if she had no intention of giving up.
Near noon, Zhao Hexiu and his wife came back and were very enthusiastic when they saw Yun Huaying and prepared a sumptuous lunch for them.
Half an hour after the meal, several people were chatting at Zhou Huayang's house, and then Zhou Huayang took them to Xishan.
Fatty, Ah Da, Ah Er, Hei Bao, and other pets surrounded Zhou Huayang, wandering around the streets and alleys from time to time.
In the sky, white feathers spread their wings and flew around Zhou Huayang twice at low altitude from time to time.
Along the way, Yun Huaying and Chu Shulin marveled, "I haven't been to Liusheng Village in the past two weeks. The changes are really big. It's changing with each passing day. It's very promising."
"Indeed, it is indeed the place where Master Zhou lives. The scenery is pleasant and full of vitality."
"If I have free time in the future, I will definitely come to live here." Chu Shulin stroked his beard.
Yun Huaying nodded in agreement. This was their sincere words, not to please Zhou Huayang.
After arriving at Xishan, Pang Dun'er took the lead and went straight to the orchard.
Zhou Huayang's face darkened, and he knew without even thinking what these little bastards were going to do.
When they reached the mountainside, the white monkey led a group of monkeys to jump and climb among the trees, and at the same time made a slightly excited cry.
Pounce~ The white monkey landed first and stood in front of Zhou Huayang.
In addition to the monkeys, there were also several employees responsible for taking care of the orchard behind. "It turns out that Huayang is here. I thought the monkeys were going to escape."
"Brother Zhou, let's go back to work first."
The employees then left with peace of mind.
"Humph." Let's go pick fruit. Fatty'er hugged the white monkey. Xiaoxue was so disgusted that she deliberately hit me every time she picked fruit.
Just after it finished complaining, it saw the white shadow flash between Zhou Huayang and Pang Dun'er, so fast that only the afterimage remained.
"Hmph." Oops, who took a picture of me!
