The evaluation will continue after 2:30.
The judges will score and comment on the works on the spot, and then make a ranking of first, second, and third place. The invited judges were all calligraphers, painters, and officials from calligraphy and painting associations with certain qualifications, which inadvertently added a bit more weight to the competition.
Li Wei had returned to the auditorium and sat with Li Jianbo.
Everyone who has passed the preliminary round and entered the semi-finals will receive a finalist award. Now it is not easy to pick the ranking among these shortlisted works. The judges' scoring is based on strong personal preferences, so the focus is completely different.
Li Wei's "Mountain Villa" stands out among a series of slightly immature works and has high ratings. However, it is not certain whether it can get the first place because there is another work that has also been rated very well. It was a meticulous painting of flowers and birds. The white vase was filled with blooming peonies, and several butterflies were flying around these flowers. The color is rich and gorgeous.
This work was a painting by contestant No. 19. She remembered that Tang Shiyun was No. 19.
But she can also draw paintings like Tang Shiyun's!
After the judges scored, the results came out. The host began to draw the prizes, first awarding consolation prizes such as the Most Potential Award and the Best Performance Award.
Once these awards were presented, it was time to award the top three. The host said: "Now please invite the three players No. 11, No. 19, and No. 27 to come on stage."
Before Li Wei could react, Li Jianbo pushed her and said, "You are No. 27, go quickly."
Li Wei then stood up and showed a big smile to Li Jianbo. She walked slowly towards the stage, straightened her back and looked straight.
Among the three, only No. 11 is a boy. The boy wears thick-soled glasses and looks a little bored, maybe because he is young and nervous.
The host began to interview the three contestants. When No. 11 talked about his painting learning experience, his tone was a little trembling. When he was nervous, he even made a slip of the tongue, which caused a burst of laughter from the audience below. The boy blushed even more. The host Haozai did not embarrass him too much and then interviewed Tang Shiyun. Tang Shiyun was very generous and articulate. At first glance, she looked like a young girl who had seen big events and was not afraid of them at all. The host seemed to like this little girl very much, and the interview with her lasted two minutes longer.
Then the microphone was handed to Li Wei, and when the host asked her, "Why do you want to learn painting?"
Li Wei simply answered with a few words: "Because I like it."
Then the judges asked the three of them to interpret their paintings. Li Wei expressed his views on Li Gonglin and finally said: "I painted this painting to pay tribute to him."
Her words amused the judges, who thought that the little girl had such a strong tone and was really naive and ignorant of the world. Then comes the lottery draw. The third prize was awarded first, and it was awarded to the boy wearing thick-soled eyes. The young man held the trophy and certificate, his face smiled like a flower, and the shyness just now was completely gone.
Then the second place was awarded. When the host read Li Wei's name, she took a step forward. The host smiled and introduced: "This is a little girl from a remote rural middle school. It is not easy to achieve such results. The judges have always given praise. They think that the girl's writing skills are sophisticated and have profound skills. However, they have always believed that she needs innovation. There is still something missing, please keep up the good work.”
Innovation? Just because she was a copycat, she lost to No. 19? When Li Wei, who was seeking stability, received the trophy and award certificate from the vice director of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, she felt a little unwilling. I should have known better than to draw any "Mountain Villa Picture".
Tang Shiyun won first place with his painting "Chrysanthemums in Bloom".
The three of them stood in a row, with several cameras snapping pictures below.
She really did not make a sound, but she became a blockbuster. Li Jianbo clapped quickly, feeling happier than he had won the award at this moment. Li Wei felt a little unwilling but still generously sent his blessings to Tang Shiyun. Tang Shiyun was proud of a winner, but the smile on his face was a little stiff. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that this "Mountain Villa Picture" had a huge impact on her. Li Wei is a formidable opponent. If it weren't for her father's relationship, there's no telling whether she would still be ranked first today.
Once the prizes are distributed, the entire game is over. Li Jianbo went up and gave Li Wei a big hug: "Wei Wei wishes you the best."
Li Wei responded generously: "Thank you, second brother."
"You little girl really can't tell. I just wanted to take you out to see the world and gain some knowledge. I didn't expect you to go home with a trophy for the first time. I never knew you were so good." Li Jianbo scratched Li Wei's nose lovingly.
It was natural to celebrate after winning an award. Li Jianbo treated Li Wei to a treat and said he would take Li Wei to eat hot pot.
The long alley is a bit narrow, and even cars can't get in. Only bicycles can barely get in and out. However, there are two or three hot pot restaurants hidden in this area. You can smell the aroma wafting from inside as soon as you reach the entrance of the alley.
Li Jianbo took Li Wei into a store and found a seat against the wall. The hot pot of this era was very different from the hot pot eaten in Da Qi. There was a gas tank under the table, and there was a large groove in the middle where the pot was placed. As long as the gas was turned on, the pot would start to cook. Da Qi's hot pot was made by burying charcoal in the furnace, and it was hot while eating. Eating hot pot in winter was a kind of enjoyment, but I dare not try it in the summer like now.
"What kind of food do you like?" Li Jianbo looked at the menu, and Li Wei said, "I'll do whatever you want, you can order it."
Li Jianbo looked at it and ordered five dishes, and then ordered a bottle of drink.
When the food arrived, the pot started boiling. The thinly sliced beef slices had been marinated with seasonings and could be eaten by rolling them in the pot a few times. The dipping sauce was tender and salty.
In this era, supplies were much richer than those in Daqi, and of course there was a lot more delicious food. The sweets are delicious, and the hot pot is even more delicious.
Li Wei ate happily, with a happy smile on his face. Once again, I deeply felt that being an ordinary girl in this time and space was much more comfortable and comfortable than being the Queen Mother of Lao Shizi.
After eating hot pot, it was completely dark when we came out, and the street lights were already on, lighting up the city's night.
Urban nightlife in this era is still a bit monotonous. The traffic on the street has decreased, there is no square dancing, and there is no loud music, so it seems a bit peaceful.
Walking under a neon sign, Li Wei looked up and thought the flashing colors were really beautiful.
Li Jianbo originally walked a while, but found that his sister had not followed him, so he hurriedly turned back to look at Li Wei, only to see Li Wei standing in a daze under the sign. At this time, he began to wonder again, did his sister have the same fate as him? Otherwise, how could someone who couldn't even write well with a pen calligraphy become so good at calligraphy and painting
