Li Yang and Zhou Ye also returned to the competition seats and found two seats at the edge to sit down.
At the judges' table, Mr. Hong first glanced at Chen Wuji. According to the previous plan, he would take the lead in today's final selection, and Chen Wuji would finally announce the results.
"Lao Hong, let's start!"
Chen Wuji said softly that he understood what Mr. Hong meant by this glance. As long as people understand, no one will think highly of Li Yang's work, even if the raw material of Li Yang's work is the best jadeite like Black and White Wuchang.
There is no polishing, only the prototype, just like a beautiful woman, originally very beautiful, but her face is full of mud and has not been cleaned, and her beauty is covered up.
"Open!"
Mr. Hong nodded and gave direct instructions to the staff. The staff carefully opened the silk cloth, revealing a square black and white jadeite underneath.
There are strange patterns engraved on all sides of the jade. Some patterns look like the sun, and some patterns look like trees and flowers. In short, these patterns are just like Picasso's paintings, very abstract.
Jade carvings are not in the abstract style. Seeing this work, Chen Wuji couldn't help but frown.
"What a pity!"
"Master Li wasted his time before, otherwise this must be an incredible work!"
“Such good raw materials were wasted!”
The big screen focused on this piece of black and white jadeite, and the crowd quickly started talking about it. Some jade carving masters even looked sad. Black and white are not common raw materials.
Huang Hao also had some regret in his eyes. This was the raw material he had wanted to buy from Li Yang. If he could use this raw material, he would have absolute confidence to defeat Qi Haiyang and Heng Kai in today's competition.
In his opinion, it is really inappropriate for such raw materials to be wasted.
"Why!"
Mr. Hong sighed softly and waved to the staff member, who hurriedly pushed the jade article forward, directly in front of each of the judges.
This is an unpolished jade. The surface looks very plain, and the black and white colors are very good. Unfortunately, it cannot bring out the unique color without polishing.
It's just not polished. Li Yang can still polish the jade after the competition, but it's a pity that the carvings and incomprehensible carvings will greatly compromise the entire jade.
At this time, even Mr. Hong and the others were complaining about Li Yang's waste of materials.
The best jadeite like Black and White Impermanence is rare for seniors like Mr. Hong, and the four top masters have never encountered it in their lives.
"This piece of jade is carved using the whole-knife technique. The knife work is exquisite, the blade is powerful and spirited. The carving result is very powerful, but it is a pity that the carving pattern is not clear!"
Mr. Hong simply commented that full-scale knife carving is a type of openwork carving. Mr. Hong did not say this. Li Yang did use this knife carving method a lot.
When it comes to knife skills, Li Yang does have a very high level, and even Mr. Hong recognizes this.
But the whole piece of jade is not just about the knife work. The whole thing cannot be recognized by everyone, and it can only be said that all previous efforts have been wasted. The final comment made by Mr. Hong that the carvings are unclear is already a good evaluation.
…………
"How could it be that the boss's work is so bad?"
In the auditorium, Li Can was staring with big eyes. They had traveled thousands of miles and came here regardless of fatigue and busyness, just to see Li Yang achieve good results with their own eyes. No one expected such a result in the end.
"There's not enough time. Brother Li has wasted too much time!"
Sima Lin sighed softly, his words seemed to be looking for a reason for Li Yang.
However, he did not approve of Li Yang's jade in his heart. Sima Lin liked gambling on stones and also liked jade. Although he did not understand jade carving, he still had a certain eye for finished jade.
Apart from the raw material, nothing else about this jade caught his eye.
Zheng Kaida shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I was just careless for a moment. Li Yang is still young. He can participate in the next session and get good results!"
As friends, they were all thinking about Li Yang at this moment. The judges' words in front of them had already predicted the result. This result made them very disappointed.
"Yes, the boss is still young and has plenty of opportunities!"
Liu Jun nodded hurriedly. The atmosphere now was not very good. Several people felt heavy in their hearts. They originally wanted to congratulate him, but no one expected such a result.
Even if Li Yang can't get the first place, they will celebrate happily if he can get in the top few. Looking at it now, let alone the top few, don't even think about being among the ten. There is a high possibility that he will be the last.
The participants in this competition are all the most powerful jade carving masters in the country. Most of the judges praised their works. There were few criticisms. Not only did Li Yang’s work receive criticism, but every judge also praised it.
It's no wonder that you can achieve good results if you have criticism.
While Sima Lin and the others were discussing here, Zhang Ying and An Wenjun were also discussing quietly.
An Wenjun's face was still full of worry. She suspected that Li Yang's condition today was due to yesterday's unexpected incident. Yesterday's incident had a great impact on Li Yang.
If this is the case, it would be such a pity. What happened yesterday is something no one wants to see.
On the other side, Wang Dezheng was talking to He Jie.
"Lao He, what's up, did you lose?"
Wang De was smiling. After Mr. Hong’s comments, the other judges also made simple comments. The judges who had a good relationship with Li Yang or were easy to talk to spoke very tactfully. Some of them had a straight temper, or had treated Li Yang before.
There were jealous judges who judged the work as worthless.
"That shouldn't be the case. This kid has never done anything he's not sure about. Since he dares to participate in the final selection, he should be right!"
He Jie frowned. He knew Li Yang quite well and knew Li Yang's temperament.
If Li Yang really failed in this work, he would withdraw from the competition directly and would never participate in the final evaluation. He Jie was still sure of this.
It has to be said that He Jie's understanding of Li Yang is indeed better than Wang De's.
Wang De sighed softly and said: "I don't know exactly what happened. Now the judges are not optimistic about him, and the score won't be that high!"
He Jie said: "I understand, but don't worry, Old Wang, I will never deny it if I lose!"
Wang De looked at He Jie, just smiled and nodded, without speaking.
This bet is just a bridge to deepen the relationship between the two. He Jie will naturally not default on the debt, and he will not default on this debt if he loses. But today he won a promise from He Jie, which is indeed huge for him.
Harvest.
He Jie has always had a good reputation in the circle. His connections are also very strong. He is also capable. Such a person will have a long way to go in the future. If everything goes well, he may be as good as his father.
Establishing a good relationship with such a person in advance is naturally a good thing with no harm at all.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Mr. Hong asked a circle of judges to make a few comments, and finally asked Chen Wuji.
In fact, if he had a choice, he would not even ask Chen Wuji this question. For Chen Wuji to comment on this work, it would definitely be a kind of torture for Chen Wuji.
Everyone knows that Li Yang is Chen Wuji's close disciple and Chen Wuji's greatest pride.
Chen Wuji stood up, first looked at Li Yang's work, then looked at Li Yang, and then said: "Isn't this work of yours not finished yet?"
Chen Wuji's words made many people stunned.
It's not finished. This is indeed an unfinished work. Many people understand it, but no one has said it out loud. I didn't expect Chen Wuji to ask so directly.
"Yes, there are still a few steps left to complete this piece!"
Li Yang nodded gently and admitted directly.
Li Yang really didn't finish this piece of jade made of black and white impermanent jade. On the one hand, he didn't have enough time, and on the other hand, his body couldn't hold it anymore.
This means that even if he started working today, he would not be able to finish the work.
Chen Wuji's brows twitched and he continued to ask: "It's not finished, so why did you take it out for the evaluation?"
Chen Wuji's question this time was a bit sharp, and he sounded as if he was dissatisfied with Li Yang for taking an unfinished work. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Chen Wuji was giving Li Yang a chance to explain.
This will give Li Yang more opportunities to speak, which should change some people's views on him.
"Mr. Chen, it seems that it is against the rules for you to ask this. The participating masters have the opportunity to speak for themselves!"
Not far away, a consultant suddenly stood up. Consultants are not judges, but they have the right to supervise the judges. These questions raised by Chen Wuji are indeed suspected of violating regulations.
Chen Wuji's brows knit together tightly. He also couldn't understand Li Yang's work, and now he gave Li Yang a chance to explain but was interrupted.
Chen Wuji knew this person, he was a retired government official with high prestige. Not long ago, he personally came to ask for a piece of Chen Wuji's work, but Chen Wuji rejected it.
It is estimated that this person had resentment towards Chen Wuji, so he deliberately interrupted Chen Wuji at this time.
"Mr. Chen, are you finished with your review?"
Mr. Hong had to stand up. He had a good personal relationship with Chen Wuji, but this was a business matter and he could not openly favor Chen Wuji.
"It's over!"
Chen Wuji nodded directly. He had nothing to comment on. The other judges had already said what needed to be said. He was just confused. According to his understanding of Li Yang, Li Yang should not have done such a thing.
"Li Yang, you can speak freely. Remember, you only have two minutes to introduce your work!"
Mr. Hong turned back and looked at Li Yang. He also had doubts in his heart. Unfortunately, he really couldn't help Li Yang at this moment.
Li Yang looked at Chen Wuji and suddenly laughed: "I brought this unfinished work because it is now qualified to participate in the final selection. As for the time, two minutes is a lot. In fact, I don't need even one minute.
!”
Li Yang's voice was not loud, but with the microphone, everyone at the scene could hear it. After hearing Li Yang's words, the scene instantly became quiet.
