Jieyang Stadium can be said to be crowded with people on this day.
The publicity made before the first National Jade Carving Masters Competition paid off. Almost 10,000 people came to watch this competition, most of whom were people engaged in the jade industry.[..com]
In Pingzhou alone, hundreds of people came this time. I heard that more than 2,000 people came in one province in Yunnan.
This can be regarded as a grand event for the jade carving industry. Many people engaged in the jade carving industry seemed very excited. In the past, such lively events were reserved for stone betting or jade fairs.
This is a truly grand event for their jade carving industry.
"There are so many people!"
Li Yang, who had already arrived at the venue and was in the large conference room of the stadium, looked at the people in the square outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
The audience has not yet arrived, but the gathering of thousands of people seems quite spectacular.
"The Jade Association finally did something right this time. We really shouldn't have worked behind closed doors before!"
Huang Hao walked to Li Yang and spoke slowly, with as much emotion as Li Yang.
In the past, the Suzhou-Jieyang Twin Cities Masters Tournament was never open to the public. Only people in one's own circle participated. Although the tournament itself has made progress, the overall environment has not changed.
This time the Jade Association took the lead in expanding the Twin Cities Masters Competition and truly made it a grand event in the jade carving industry, which can be considered a good thing.
"How are you? Do you feel stage fright?"
Li Yang looked at Huang Hao with a smile. There were many people in the large conference room, and they were all gathered in groups. They were all jade carving masters who came to participate in the competition.
These people are usually scattered all over the place, and they all have a certain reputation in the local area. Only this opportunity can bring them together.
"I still have stage fright at such an old age. You should take care of yourself first. You young people can't be as stable as us!"
Huang Hao's voice became louder. He was indeed much older than Li Yang. Speaking of which, Li Yang was the youngest person in this Masters.
"Do you think I'll get stage fright?"
Li Yang chuckled, Huang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.
Li Yang had never seen any scene before, and it was really not easy to get him to get stage fright. When Li Yang brought the Imperial Seal, he had to face tens of thousands of people wherever he went.
"Mr. Li, I heard that you are representing Beijing and Jieyang in the competition this time?"
Zhou Ye came over, and Huang Hao immediately turned his head away. Huang Hao's prejudice against Zhou Ye came from the bottom of his heart, and it was really not easy for him to change.
"Yes, I live in Beijing, but I also have property in Jieyang, so this is the only way!"
Li Yang smiled and nodded. After he proposed this suggestion the day before yesterday, Mr. Song and Chen Wuji discussed it and finally agreed.
Mr. Song understands very well that it is impossible for Li Yang to completely represent Beijing. If it were him, he would not agree to such a thing. Why should the apprentice I trained represent you in the competition?
Chen Wuji also considered that the situation in Beijing this year is indeed not good, and Li Yang actually lives in Beijing. His time in Beijing is much longer than that in Jieyang.
In addition, Chen Wuji also considered that if Li Yang achieved good results on behalf of Beijing, he could quickly establish his own prestige and even become the leader of Beijing.
In the jade carving industry, prestige is very important. Wen Wu is not the first, and military power is not the second. The same is true for the jade carving industry. If the level is about the same, no one will be convinced by the other. Especially for a young person like Li Yang, it is very difficult to be recognized by others.
not easy.
This Masters Tournament is an opportunity for Li Yang to use his strength to conquer many people.
"You are the only person with dual nationality among the many contestants among us. I heard others talking about it just now!"
Zhou Ye smiled. Li Yang represented the two places in the competition, which indeed caused a whirlwind.
However, many people are not optimistic about Li Yang, and there are many gossips. The main reason is that Li Yang is too young. He has achieved so many achievements at such a young age, which makes many people jealous and jealous.
Even a master can have pink eye.
"It doesn't matter, they can talk about whatever they want!"
Li Yang chuckled lightly, and when he spoke, the stadium had already begun to enter. After the audience entered, it would be the opening ceremony, and then it would be their turn to perform on stage.
This Masters Tournament has attracted attention from many aspects.
Chairman Gao of the China Treasures Association, the National Sculpture Association and some influential international organizations all sent people to attend.
Guangdong also sent a deputy governor, and Jieyang's municipal party committee and mayor were all present. This masters tournament was scheduled to be held in Jieyang, which also gave this place a good advertisement.
A lot of people came, but the opening ceremony didn't last long, so the Jade Association made a good decision this time.
After the opening ceremony, all the judges began to be introduced. There were a total of twelve judges this time, and Chen Wuji was the first judge. When he stood up, the audience gave him a warm round of applause.
As the only master in the jade carving industry, Chen Wuji can be said to be the pride of all his peers and the goal of many ambitious people. Everyone who is engaged in the jade carving industry wants to reach the level of Chen Wuji.
"Come on out!"
When it was finally time for the master to play, Huang Hao looked at Li Yang beside him with a smile, his eyes a little complicated.
He knew that this junior brother had very little luck, and he also knew that he had good talent, but after all, the time he had been exposed to jade carving was too short, only one year.
One year, at this time, he was still learning basic skills, but he already had the strength to participate in the Masters.
This is equivalent to the fact that Li Yang has traveled a journey of several decades in one year, and there is really no way to compare it with others.
He thought again of his master, Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong had made a mistake this time. At the beginning, Mr. Hong thought that letting Li Yang learn jade carving was a distraction from Li Yang's experience, which was not worth the gain.
Now everyone understands how hot Chen Wuji's eyes are, and he has discovered such a monster of a genius. In terms of eyesight, none of them are as good as Chen Wuji.
After everyone entered the room, Chen Wuji stood up directly. After the people at the venue saw Chen Wuji, many people who were talking fell silent. From this, we can also see Chen Wuji's terrifying influence.
"Everyone, the process of participating has been explained just now, so I won't go into details. I will present to you ten jade carving works in a moment. These works are made of different materials and at different times. You only need to tell me the advantages and disadvantages of them. After a while,
Please also keep your spirits up and don’t get distracted!"
"Ha ha!"
As soon as Chen Wuji finished speaking, many people in the audience laughed. Their laughter was not small, and some participating masters began to frown.
The noise is not small, and this time the noise is also a big difficulty for them. Some people who like quiet will suffer more than others.
Only a few people kept smiling and paid no attention to the noise around them.
Li Yang is one of them, and Li Yang is currently observing one of them.
This person is Qi Haiyang, the youngest son of Mr. Qi, the new leader of Hotan, and the new top master.
Qi Haiyang is younger than Huang Hao, and can be regarded as the younger one among the masters. He is only forty-three years old this year. At this time, Qi Haiyang is wearing a black collarless long-sleeved shirt, black shoes and black ku, and his clothes are very colorful.
Single, but looks very energetic.
Qi Haiyang, carrying one hand on his back, was also looking around. When Li Yang looked at him, he also looked at Li Yang and gave Li Yang a friendly smile.
He knew that Li Yang's ability to gamble on stones was very strong, and he also knew that Li Yang had only been exposed to jade carving for a short time and that he was a rare genius in a thousand years, but he did not know Li Yang's current strength.
In his eyes, Li Yang was still the same as before, just a new jade carving master. There was a huge gap between such a jade carving master and a senior master, as well as a top master like him.
Like Huang Hao, he only thought that Li Yang was here to feel the atmosphere, learn from experience, and go through the motions. He did not regard Li Yang as an opponent.
It's possible that Li Yang won't be able to survive the first two rounds.
The competition started, and someone came over pushing the first jade carving work. It was a large Lantian jade ornament. It was the work of a famous artist in the mid-Qing Dynasty. Even Li Yang did not expect that the first jade carving work was brought out.
It's ancient jade.
Everyone was silent and looked at the jade carving carefully. They wanted to quickly analyze the quality of the jade carving and then make a conclusion.
Two staff members pushed the cart past each participating master. People in the audience stopped talking and looked down quietly.
The moving jade sculpture was also tracked on the stadium's big screen.
The jade sculpture that was pushed out did not stop at all. It walked around everyone and left directly. Some of the participating masters began to close their eyes and carefully recalled their observations just now.
They have to write out all the pros and cons.
"here we go again!"
Some people hadn't closed their eyes for long before they heard the shouts of people around them. Many people hurriedly opened their eyes. After the two carts left just now, a new cart came in. There was also a thing on the cart.
Jade carving works.
The jade carving work this time was a Hetian jade ornament, which was not small in size. The cart soon arrived in front of the participating masters.
These participating masters were not stupid. They felt something bad when they saw the second cart. Many of them turned pale, and some of them hurriedly wrote something on the table in front of them.
These participating masters did not expect that today's ten jade carvings were launched in succession. Continuation and separation are absolutely two different things. If they were launched continuously, they had to observe continuously, think and sort out without time. Originally, some masters who were confident
, and now my heart began to become mysterious.
At this time, they finally understood why Chen Wuji reminded them not to let their minds wander. In this case, they really couldn't let their minds wander. It would be troublesome if their minds wandered.
The Masters, or the first Masters, is not as easy as imagined.
The second jade carving passed by everyone quickly, and the third was pushed out directly. This time it was a jade ornament, and it was also an old thing. It was a jade carving from the late Qing Dynasty.
The first three jade carvings, two old ones and one new one, all took less than ten minutes to go through in front of the participating masters.
