Chapter seven hundred and thirteenth preliminaries review
What happened to Charles just now was just a small episode, and no one cared about it.
After all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, so I don’t care about this.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble afterwards, Yu Qingyang doesn't intend to pursue him further. The most he can do is not invite him again in the future.
In the afternoon, several more review experts came one after another.
These are just because the journey is quite far, and I am worried that I will not be able to catch up with the report tomorrow, so I set off early.
Tomorrow is the peak period for reporting. The organizing committee has invited a total of 300 domestic and foreign experts and professors.
They are all professors from world-renowned universities and experts with considerable achievements in the field of design.
The reason why so many experts and professors are invited to serve as judges is to reflect the importance and authority of the World Student Design Competition.
This first World Student Design Competition has received more than 10,000 entries so far. If there are fewer judges, it will be impossible to complete the review work in a short time.
Even so, on average each expert needs to review more than 30 entries, and the preliminary review only lasts for two days, and the workload is still very heavy to review more than 30 design works in two days.
Not only watching, but also selecting works that can enter the semi-finals.
In the preliminary round, according to majors, every three experts form a group to jointly review the entries of their majors and select those that can enter the semi-finals.
Each review expert can recommend two works, that is, each preliminary review team can recommend six works.
Then all the review experts are randomly divided into ten review groups. These ten review groups are disrupted and are no longer divided according to majors. Each major recommends a design work to participate in the finals.
Design majors are divided into several categories, including high-rise buildings, garden buildings, squares, bridges, and many other categories.
The works that can enter the finals will basically be adopted and receive a large amount of design patent fees.
The organizing committee also stipulates another situation. If the review team believes that the design works they have reviewed include two or more works of comparable quality, the whole group will sign and report to the organizing committee to increase the number of places to participate in the finals.
This is a set of evaluation methods that Wu Yunfang and the people from the administrative department have worked hard for several months to design as fair and impartial as possible.
Of course, there is no absolute fairness in this world. Even such a rigorous evaluation method always involves some luck.
Luck is naturally divided into good luck and bad luck. For example, a work that could have entered the finals was directly excluded from the semi-finals because I liked it.
It is also possible that you will be judged by your own teacher from the preliminary round to the semi-finals, and then pass smoothly and reach the finals. Although this situation is rare, it cannot be said that it does not happen.
On the day when the preliminary selection began, a very simple ceremony was held. Yu Qingyang said a few words and announced the start of the preliminary review of the World Student Design Competition.
Wu Yunfang led her men to move the design drawings printed in advance to the conference room and distributed them to the experts who had been waiting.
Basically, everyone has a thick pile of a dozen design drawings in front of them.
The design drawings submitted for the competition are basically equivalent to the preliminary design drawings, which have appearance and structure, but do not have the detailed cross-sectional structure drawings and cross-sectional structural drawings as the construction drawings.
After the review began, Yu Qingyang patrolled back and forth in various conference rooms.
The conference rooms used for the primary election are all small conference rooms, with only twenty or thirty people in each conference room.
Yu Qingyang patrolled the roads back and forth just to add some pressure to them, silently telling them, "Look carefully, I'm watching you."
The remuneration of each of these experts is US$500,000, which is not easy to get. On average, each person has to review more than 30 works, and write down his own opinions and suggestions on each work.
After the competition, the organizing committee will provide feedback to the participating college students.
This can also be regarded as a small benefit for participating college students. What is good and what is not good, the opinions of experts can be regarded as a pointer.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the two-day preliminary review is over, and a total of 600 works have been selected to enter the semi-finals.
On the third day, according to the time arrangement of the organizing committee, there will be a day of rest, and the semi-final selection will begin again on the fourth day.
"Chairman, take a look!" Wu Yunfang found Yu Qingyang and showed him a stack of design drawings.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qingyang looked at Wu Yunfang in confusion.
"This is the design drawing reviewed by Charles Bronson..."
Yu Qingyang took the design drawings and looked through them, his face became a little ugly.
Because entries are distributed randomly, no one knows who reviewed which entries.
Among the entries that Charles Bronson was responsible for reviewing, there were more than a dozen entries from Chinese college students.
These works, without exception, were all eliminated. The comments above made Yu Qingyang think of a word, troll.
Normally, even for works that have been eliminated, the comments above will be more implicit, or directly point out the shortcomings.
However, Charles's comments were all about dissatisfaction, and there were many insulting words such as rubbish and shit in them.
Moreover, there are several entries with celebrities that are better than the entries he recommended.
Although there is no nationality or name on the entries, who makes Charles an expert in the field of garden landscape design?
The Chinese garden entries all have a distinct Chinese style and are easy to identify.
In fact, entries from various countries inevitably bear some traces of their own country, such as Chinese style, European and American style. In the eyes of experts, there is no difference from marking nationality.
“Print out a new copy, and then organize experts to review these works!
Remember, ask European and American experts to review these works, and try not to disturb Charles!" Yu Qingyang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and explained to Wu Yunfang.
"Understood!" Wu Yunfang nodded.
Wu Yunfang acted quickly and recruited ten experts from prestigious European and American universities to review these entries.
The name is naturally the entries that have just been received. In line with the attitude of being responsible for the contestants, we ask them to work overtime. Of course, the overtime pay is a penny.
After review by ten experts, completely different results were obtained. The Chinese entry was promoted, while the entry selected by Charles failed.
On the fourth day, Yu Qingyang summoned all the review experts to the auditorium.
"The semi-finals review will start soon today. I have called everyone here because I have a very regrettable news to report to you!" Yu Qingyang did not be polite to them and said straight to the point: "Before I announce the bad news,
First, please watch a short video!"
As Yu Qingyang finished speaking, a picture appeared on the big screen behind him. It was the conversation between Charles Bronson and the staff and Wu Yunfang that day.
