Huang Hao stood up. Like Qi Haiyang, he didn't have much happy expression on his face.
Fifth place, this result is definitely not a success for Huang Hao, but a blow, a very serious blow. Before he participated in the competition this time, he had vowed that he would definitely win the championship.
Previously, he won the Suzhou-Jieyang Twin Cities Masters for four consecutive years. Unexpectedly, he did not even make it into the top three.
It's strange that your mood can be good.
The other jade carving masters also knew his mood at this moment. After Huang Hao sat down, no one came to congratulate him. Saying congratulations at this time would definitely rub salt into his wounds.
Another cart was pushed in, and Mr. Song gave everyone enough time to react before continuing to read.
"The sixth person to advance is Hu Yaohai!"
"I?"
The Nanjing jade carving master pointed at his nose blankly and stood up immediately.
He was still smiling with his mouth open. He was different from Huang Hao. For him, as long as he could advance, it was an affirmation and a good thing.
In this jade carving master competition where there are many experts, being able to advance to the top ten is equivalent to leaving a name in the country. These jade carving masters are very proud, but they are not without self-awareness.
Hu Yaohai smiled happily. He is very famous in Nanjing, but he is still a little behind the masters in Suzhou. He was surprised to get sixth place in today's competition.
Several jade carving masters in Suzhou glanced at him with a little disdain and a little anxious at the same time.
Six people have been announced, which means there are only four places left. If they are not included in these four places, the fate can only be pinned on the audience's choice. No one has the confidence to make that choice.
"The seventh person to advance, Luo Ruihua!"
Mr. Song's voice slowly sounded again, and Luo Ruihua stood up, his expression much calmer.
At this time, Luo Ruihua finally realized that Huang Hao, Heng Kai, Zhou Ye and Qi Haiyang were all on the same level. They were all top modern masters and successors of the older generation.
Compared with them, I am indeed a little bit behind. It is no longer easy to achieve a good result in this Masters.
But what Luo Ruihua couldn't see through the most was Li Yang.
Luo Ruihua couldn't believe that Li Yang could compare with Qi Haiyang and the others in such a short period of time. If Li Yang really reached this level, then Li Yang's progress would be really terrible.
It's too scary to believe.
But if Li Yang had not reached this point, he would not have achieved such good results. At this time, Luo Ruihua felt a great sigh in his heart, and at the same time there was an indescribable complexity.
My decades of hard work cannot compare to someone else's one year of study, and no one can accept it.
Luo Ruihua even thought about visiting Chen Wuji tonight and asking him carefully.
"The eighth person to advance..."
Mr. Song read out slowly. The expressions of each person whose name was called were different, but the expressions of those whose names were not called were definitely the same, they were all uneasy.
The ten people who were directly promoted were read out quickly, and the faces of the twenty-three people showed disappointment. There are still five more promotion places among them, but no one knows whether such a place can fall to themselves.
on the head.
"Mr. Song, I would like to ask why Li Yang was promoted?"
As soon as Mr. Song sat down, someone from the advisory table next to him asked loudly, and many people also looked at Mr. Song.
This consultant is from Taiwan and is a famous master in Taiwan's jade carving industry. His level is slightly lower than that of Mr. Song and others, but he is a straight-tempered person and will speak directly if he has anything to say.
"That's right, why was Li Yang promoted?"
Another person asked, this time the person in the front row of the auditorium was a reporter.
Many people have seen the jade that Li Yang made this time. In their eyes, it is impossible for what Li Yang made to advance, let alone rank so high.
"Don't worry, everyone will know the reason soon!"
Mr. Song smiled slightly, and the other judges also had different smiles on their faces. After it was announced that Li Yang had been promoted, they had expected something like this to happen, but they didn't expect it to be so strong.
Ten cars had already been pushed into the center of the venue. Mr. Song nodded to Mr. Qi, and Mr. Qi stood up.
"The most important thing in our competition this time is fairness and justice. Now, we will show you the ten works that advanced today!"
Following Mr. Qi's words, ten staff members unveiled the yellow silk cloth of the ten cars.
Although there were ten pieces, after it was unveiled, almost everyone focused their attention on the second car. What they wanted to see was Li Yang's work.
A crystal clear and slender jade knife was placed quietly on the glass shelf.
"Why has it changed?"
"Isn't he unpolished?"
"Even if it looks better, it's too simple. It looks like a thin piece of jade. Why can I be promoted?"
Various discussions soon broke out in the audience, all of which were directed at Li Yang and this jade sword.
The jade carving masters participating in the competition were also full of doubts. Judging from the appearance, Li Yang's jade sword is quite beautiful, but its technical quality is very low. In terms of appearance, the other nine are better than this jade sword. No one can
I don’t understand why Li Yang achieved such a high ranking.
At this moment, they began to wonder if the judges had helped Li Yang cheat.
Seeing is believing, many people believe what they see, but sometimes what they see may not be true.
Mr. Qi slowly left the judges' table with a smile on his face. He walked directly into the venue and stood in front of the first cart.
Displayed on this cart are the works of Heng Kai. Heng Kai carved a complex Shui Deng. Shui Deng is also an ancient jade carving tool, and it is still the most important one, but few people use it now.
This Jade Shui Deng is very small, but very delicate, and Heng Kai cleverly arranged the uneven colors on the jade material, adding a vitality to the entire Jade Shui Deng. If you look carefully, this Jade Shui Deng looks like
The tools at work are average.
This craftsmanship, this skill, has indeed reached the top.
Mr. Hong and the others believed that even if they were able to make something like this at their peak, it must be even better that they might not be able to do it.
This also proves that Heng Kai indeed has the strength of a top master.
Mr. Qi stood in front of the cart, constantly commenting on this item, and finally concluded, this is the first place in today's competition.
Many jade carving masters nodded silently. They were convinced that Heng Kai won the first place. Even Qi Haiyang and the others sighed. Heng Kai's craftsmanship is really strong and he performed well today. This jade carving was carved by him.
Even though they are at the top of their game, even with such a small Yushui Deng, they can’t do anything better than Heng Kai.
Soon, Mr. Qi stood in front of the second cart.
As soon as he stood here, countless eyes were focused on him, which made Mr. Qi feel very emotional.
Anything related to Li Yang is definitely the most attractive. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yang is the most dazzling person. His style even surpasses the judges like them.
"This jade sword is also a very good work. During the evaluation, our twelve judges had some disputes. In the end, they unanimously decided that this jade sword and Yu Shui Deng were tied for first place today!
"
Mr. Qi spoke slowly, and after speaking, he glanced at the competition master table.
Heng Kai was stunned, Qi Haiyang was also stunned, Huang Hao and others also looked at Mr. Qi blankly. They were surprised that Li Yang's jade sword could advance. No one expected that Li Yang's jade sword would be promoted.
Tied for first place with Heng Kai’s Yu Shui Deng.
These two things look incoherent no matter how they are put together.
The auditorium also exploded, and countless people expressed their inner opinions. The students' reaction was very dull. They came to support Li Yang and did not understand jade carving.
Now that Li Yang has won the first place again, I feel only happy.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I know everyone's doubts. No matter what doubts you have, I hope to talk about it later. Now look at my side first!"
Mr. Qi spoke loudly into the microphone. After speaking, he did not comment on Li Yang's jade sword, but picked up a piece of paper.
A very ordinary piece of A4 white paper. Mr. Qi held the paper in his left hand, picked up the thin blade in his right hand, and lightly scratched the paper. The white A4 paper was suddenly divided into two halves, half of which
It slowly fell to the ground.
Silence, the venue suddenly became extremely silent again.
Many people opened their eyes wide and looked at Mr. Qi in disbelief. This was a jade knife, not a real knife. How could it be possible to cut a piece of paper so easily?
"It's impossible. No matter how well-made the jade sword is, it's not a real sword!"
Hu Yaohai screamed fiercely, his face full of disbelief. Several jade carving masters around him glanced at him and nodded together.
Jade, after all, is not iron. It is just a mineral. It cannot be forged like iron.
It is even more impossible to make a knife as sharp as steel. The jade knife in Lao Qi's hand is completely beyond their common sense. Just looking at the way Qi Lao cuts paper, this jade knife seems to be sharper than ordinary cutting knives.
Mr. Qi didn't say anything. After glancing at the audience, he picked up the white paper again.
This time, he directly picked up five.
The big screen has been pointed at Mr. Qi's hand, and many people held their breath. They understood what Mr. Qi was going to do, but there was always a strange feeling in their hearts.
Use a jade knife to cut paper. If you don't see it with your own eyes, anyone who tells them this will be laughed at and treated as a joke.
Mr. Qi raised his hand, and this time he used some strength and slashed down from top to bottom with his jade knife.
"Now!"
The jade knife gently scratched across the five pieces of white paper, making a slight friction sound. The four pieces of white paper were split in two from the middle, and the cut part slowly fell to the ground.
This time, the big screen showed it very clearly, and many people looked at it stupidly.
