Chapter 164: Ms. Jiang Said the Opening Ceremony Will Be Very Lively
The opening ceremony of the Grammy Card Maker Competition was held in the form of a street performance at Kollywood Plaza near the Avenue of Stars.
This session is obviously much grander than before.
In the past, there was no such thing as an opening ceremony. Audiences needed to buy tickets to enter the stadium to watch.
This time, you don’t need to buy a ticket for the entire journey.
The competition will be held the next day after the opening ceremony, which will also be held at Kollywood Plaza.
Gu Ci and others came over after dinner, and it was already quite late.
The sun sets early in winter.
At 7:30, it started to get dark and neon lights lit up the streets.
The opening ceremony hasn't started yet, but the square is already packed with people.
There are also scalpers selling positions.
Jiang Qianye said before that the witch-robed people were short of money, and it was hard for Gu Ci not to suspect that scalpers were also witch-robed people.
After arriving at Kollywood Plaza, the detection card turned into a warm baby again.
Gu Ci also specially gave a few to Xia Zhi so that the girl could also warm herself up.
Everyone found a place to stand with a relatively wide view.
A Li complained about the unhealthy food in Dayang Country.
Dinner is the most luxurious meal for Dayang people, and it mainly consists of meat.
After a busy day, I decided to eat this meal to my heart's content. Of course, I had to eat well.
The restaurant offers set meals including steak, pizza, grilled chicken, meatballs, etc.
Various meat dishes.
It's quite rich, but too greasy.
Although there were fruits and desserts after the meal, I was tired of them all. Eating these again would not change the fact that I would gain several kilograms of meat in one meal.
Coco covered her mouth and laughed: "Didn't Master Gu specially order a salad for us? Who told you to eat meat all the time?"
A Li felt aggrieved: "I can't control it..."
How uncomfortable it would be to have a delicious meal in front of you and watch others eat it if you don’t want to eat it!
Only Jiang Qianye has better self-control.
No matter how delicious the food was, she would only take one bite and then continue eating her own salad and papaya milk.
Director Yang said: "If you are not used to it, we will go to Chinatown tomorrow."
Tomorrow's destination is the beach, so we're on our way.
Xu Tuantuan raised his hand in agreement: "White rice still smells good!"
Everyone was chatting about the itinerary for the next day.
until eight o'clock.
There was a burst of warm applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the opening ceremony of the 100th Annual Grammy Card Maker Competition. I am your dear host, Chris Parker."
"First of all, please allow me to express my gratitude to everyone for their enthusiasm, thank you for your support and recognition of Grammy, and friends from abroad, thank you for coming across the ocean and coming here, whether you are a contestant or an audience, I promise
, you will all feel that this trip is worthwhile..."
A blond man in a suit walked onto the stage.
Holding a microphone in one hand and a small card in the other, he skillfully delivered an opening statement.
As his words fell, the 100th Grammy Card Maker Competition officially kicked off.
It is inevitable to go through a process.
"Don't think I'm verbose. I'm also paid to do things. Some things must be explained clearly, such as why this Grammy will be postponed to now..."
"Actually, I want to start the competition more quickly than you, because my mother-in-law's only daughter's son will also participate in the competition. I want to know how he performs. This will determine whether my family status will be reduced to the bottom in the future.
Still remaining second to last..."
Chris chattered a lot.
With a bit of self-deprecating and sarcastic humor, this hosting style does not seem boring.
"Okay, I've finished what I have to say, now we invite our special judges for this competition to come on stage and say hello to everyone."
Chris glanced at the small card and said: "First of all, our goddess star card artist who is popular in all states and is proficient in ice and fire, Ms. Avril!"
"It's actually Avril Lavigne!"
"Goddess! My goddess!"
The crowd suddenly became excited.
Some tourists are confused: "Who is Avril Lavigne? Is she famous?"
Avril Lavigne fans proudly replied: "You may not know Avril Lavigne, but you must know Avril Lavigne Tower!"
Waiguo tourist: "..."
Is this the same thing?
In the East, big star card masters generally rarely appear in public.
You won't reveal your identity when you show up, so it's relatively low-key.
The West is different.
In every era, there will be a few big star card masters who appear in the public eye in the form of stars.
They will accept advertisements, endorsements, film movies... and even hold on-site card-making sessions.
Avril Lavigne had just finished her personal card-making session and was invited to Angel City to be a guest judge for the Grammys.
This woman has a charming appearance and elegant temperament, and her card-making skills are also quite good.
The highly ornamental card production method and the quality of star cards far above average have allowed Avril to capture a large number of fans.
In the entire Great Sheep Kingdom, Avril can be said to be one of the most popular card makers.
Avril Lavigne, wearing an ice blue evening dress, came to the stage with a smile and waved to the crowd.
"It does look pretty good." Gu Ci judged with a professional eye.
"Really?" Jiang Qianye looked at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi looked at Gu Ci: "Is it okay?"
Gu Ci didn't squint his eyes and added objectively: "But it's still a lot worse than our Xia Keai."
Chris raised the microphone on the sidelines: "The second guest judge is from the Island Star Card Association, the record holder of the world's fastest card production speed, and the great star card master known as the master of the empire, Mr. Kato Yoshio! "
Amidst the cheers, Kato Ying also went on stage and went through the motions, with a friendly and friendly smile on his face.
Jiang Qianye: "Master Gu, your opponent is here."
Gu Ci: "He can't be faster than me."
No one can be faster than Master Gu.
Kato Parrot can no longer use both hands.
Chris: "Third, Mr. Park, the representative of the World Heritage-listed country of the International Federation of Star Card Artists, the inventor of the women's group system, and the great star card artist Park Guoxiao!"
What a great inventor of the women’s group system.
As expected of Mr. Pu Guosu Pu.
Mr. Park is laughing, and so is the person underneath.
Chris loudly said: "The fourth one is a member of the board of directors of the Star Card Masters Association of the Eastern Powers. He is a super strong star card master in both combat and card making, Jia Sanyuan, Director Jia!"
Director Jia?
Gu Ci: "..."
Jiang Qianye: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Director Yang's mouth twitched: "Director Jia is a special guest judge? Why didn't he tell us?"
Gu Ci asked Jiang Qianye: "You don't know either?"
Jiang Qianye: "I don't know."
Gu Ci pursed his lips: "I thought nothing could be hidden from Miss Jiang's eyes."
Jiang Qianye tilted his head: "It depends on whether I care or not."
Next, Chris introduced several guests, all from different countries.
All great star card masters.
The lineup is quite luxurious.
Chris also specifically said at the end that the above order of appearance has nothing to do with ranking. It is an honor for them to come to the Grammy Awards.
The attitude is very good.
After introducing the guests, it was time for the performing arts part of the opening ceremony.
Avril Lavigne took the stage to sing the "Theme Song" from the Grammy Awards.
Her voice is mature, with a little magnetism, and her singing gives people a gentle feeling of light veil blowing on the face.
Gu Ci doesn't know much about music.
There is no way to judge pitch and mood from a professional perspective.
He only knows whether it feels comfortable or not.
As long as it's comfortable, it's a good voice.
Coco whispered: "I can also sing."
A Li glanced at her but said nothing.
cocoa:"?"
A Li: "?"
Coco pouted: "Ali, why are you ignoring me?"
A Li was surprised: "Are you talking to me?"
Coco: "What else?"
A Li: "I thought you told Master Gu."
cocoa:"……"
may be.
But Master Gu stood so far away, several positions away from her.
It was so noisy, how could you possibly hear it?
Gu Ci really didn't hear it. He was asking Lu Beibei when he was going to come.
The competition lasts for seven days, and the card maker can come on stage to make cards repeatedly.
However, this "repetition" is conditional.
You must be in the top ten in terms of scores and be defeated by PK before you can go on stage again for "revenge".
In general competitions, the card makers are tired, but in the Grammy competition, the judges are tired.
The card maker can leave after making the cards on stage and just leave the cards in the arena, while the judges must stay on the stage.
The scoring rules are simple.
The full score is 100, and each judge will raise a placard.
The classic method is to remove the highest score, then remove the lowest score, and then calculate the average score.
If you don't get a high score the first time you make a card, you won't have a second chance to make a card.
The stage is not big and can only accommodate up to thirty players making cards at the same time.
So the earlier you go, the better.
If you enter the first round, you only have to compete with twenty-nine other card makers for the top ten. It is not difficult to get a second chance to make cards.
In the second round, we have to face fifty-nine card makers.
Eighty-nine in the third round.
The further you go, the more people will compete with you on the same stage, and the difficulty rises straight up.
A truly powerful card maker is naturally not afraid.
To them, there is no difference between winning twenty people and winning two hundred people.
It's all a matter of one card.
But for card makers who don’t have enough confidence in themselves, it’s better to start playing early.
At least you can make it a few more times.
Maybe if you perform exceptionally well, you can get a good ranking.
"It means that if I get into the top ten for the first time I make a card, but I get pushed out, and I get into the top ten for the second time I make a card, and I get pushed down again, can I still go to the stage to make a third time?" Xia Zhi was curious.
I asked, are these rules too friendly?
"Yes." Director Yang nodded, "The Grammy Competition is very tolerant of capable card makers. If you can get in the top ten every time, it means that you have the ability to compete for the championship, and the competition will give you more.
For some card-making opportunities, one person can have up to ten times."
Ten times sounds like a lot, but in fact it has to be done by the card maker himself one at a time.
If I don't get back into the top ten after being squeezed out, there will be no next time.
It is worth mentioning that if you are already in the top ten but are not satisfied with your results, you can continue to make cards.
The opportunity is counted within the individual's ten times, and the card with the higher score is selected as the score for ranking.
To put it bluntly, it is a volume.
Everyone wants to be in the top ten, those in the top ten want to be in the fifth, and those in the top five want to be in the top three.
We are already in the top three, why don’t we try harder to get the first place?
Seeing that Lu Beibei didn't answer, Gu Ci couldn't help but poked his waist: "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Beibei looked thoughtful: "I'm thinking about how to play more in line with my status as a genius."
Gu Ci: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Why don't you just ask when is the best time to show off?
Lu Beibei said: "It's definitely not possible to play in the middle. If you are timid, your momentum will be weak."
Only card makers who don't dare to play at the beginning and are afraid that they won't be able to compete in the end will choose to play in the middle.
"Then you can go up on the last day." Gu Ci said, what's so confusing about this?
The finale, when everyone thought the dust had settled, rewrote the competition rankings in one fell swoop and shocked everyone for a whole year.
Isn’t this how all the previous kings have done?
Lu Beibei: "But I won the first place in the first round and then maintained it until the end of the game. The force is also very high."
Gu Ci: "..."
If you put this thought into studying star cards, now the rate of creating epic cards is more than 50%?
Lu Beibei decided: "Let's do it, I will come tomorrow!"
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Lu Beibei.
Who among young people doesn’t want to be in the limelight?
Lu Beibei participated in the Star Oriental Card Maker Competition with high spirits, hoping to become famous, but was suppressed by Gu Ciwen.
This pressure lasted for more than half a year.
There is no hope of turning around at all.
Lu Beibei was almost exhausted.
This time Gu Ci is not here, he must behave well!
Gu Ci asked: "Do you want us to come and cheer you on?"
Lu Beibei waved her hand: "No, it's just a small scene. I can handle it. You can just come back when the awards are given on the last day."
Gu Ci: "Okay."
Xia Zhi blinked: "Then can we go to the beach as normal tomorrow?"
The beach...
Not really sure.
It depends on whether things go smoothly or not.
The opening ceremony is still going on.
After singing the Grammy's "Theme Song", Avril followed the script and sang a World Cup "Theme Song" to warm up for the upcoming decisive battle.
She used a performance method from her own personal card-making club.
Make cards and sing at the same time.
When singing the chorus, the tune suddenly rises.
At the same time, a red golden light bloomed, making the audience scream with excitement.
It directly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Of course Avril is not that fast in making cards.
She just prepared some star cards that were almost finished in advance.
Avril Lavigne often does this in personal card making sessions.
Avril Lavigne did not hide this from her fans.
She clearly told everyone on her social account that she used "props".
"Avril is so honest!"
"As far as I know, intermittent card making is more difficult than normal card making, right? It needs to be connected with the previous ideas and writing techniques."
"Avril Lavigne really works hard for the effect of the show."
Fans said one after another that the goddess is awesome.
There is a saying in the circle of Western star card masters.
If you think card making is a boring thing, please go and see Avril Lavigne making cards on site.
Now I see that many tourists who don’t know Avril Lavigne are starting to shout that they want to become fans and follow her as soon as they get back.
The scene was bustling with activity.
Countless white paper flowers suddenly fell from the sky.
Folded into the shape of a rose, pure white and delicate.
Passerby A: “This year’s prop team is very careful, it’s not just ribbons and dry ice.”
Passerby B: "There are so many handmade paper roses... I feel the sincerity of the prop team."
Passerby C opened his eyes wide: "No, this is not a rose! It is a letter!"
He opened the rose and found a line of writing inside.
