Chapter 322 The Dark Horse
Luo Hao stood in front of his work table, and there was a piece of square jade raw material in front of him.
It is a little smaller than the palm, but its quality is not bad. It is a gold wire blue water jadeite.
Not only he has it, but everyone has it, except for the slight differences in color, shape and size. This is the raw material provided by the organizing committee for them.
The ownership of works carved with raw materials from the organizing committee belongs to the organizing committee.
The contestants who can participate in the finals of the Jade Carving Competition can be said to be elites from all over the world and have already become quite famous.
When the finals are over, these works will be auctioned. This competition will not only not lose money, but also make a lot of money.
The Jade Carving Competition does not charge any sponsorship. In addition to the small advertising fee in the competition, the biggest source of income is the auction of the contestants' works.
This has been the case in previous years, and everyone has long been accustomed to it and recognize it.
At about nine o'clock, a judge directly announced the start of the competition, and there was no host in the final.
There is a host on the live broadcast online, which started at half past eight. The host first introduced all the contestants, and when introducing Luo Hao, it only had two words.
Dark horse.
Luo Hao is the dark horse of this Jade Carving Competition. He participated in the first time and did not participate in the preliminary round, so he came up with the rematch.
The result of the rematch was actually the first, and the biggest dark horse.
There are many people watching the live broadcast, mostly jade carvers and a few jade lovers.
Luo Hao is not a famous person. In this year's Pingzhou public market, Luo Hao is the leader in the market. Many people who like jade know him.
But no one expected that Luo Hao was very good at gambling stones and had such a level in jade carvings?
No matter how bad he is, being able to win the Southern Rematch Championship itself proves that he has enough strength in jade carvings.
The jade carving competitions in recent years are relatively fair, and everyone also recognizes the results of the jade carving competitions.
The jade carving world in the north and south have been competing. If Luo Hao, the number one in the south, does not have real talent and knowledge, participating in the finals will only make the jade carving world even more embarrassing.
The competition begins.
All the players sat in front of their workbench. They had already thought about what to do in the first game. They had trained for a long time before. Now they are just repeating the previous training to keep their condition at their best and doing the best.
Only Luo Hao stared at the raw materials in front of him in a daze.
Before coming, he really didn't think about what he was going to do. He Pingjiang, Master Xia and Shang Xin all looked at him with a smile, and no one was in a hurry.
They all know the speed of Luo Hao's jade carvings. Not to mention that he hasn't started now, letting these contestants in one hour, Luo Hao can finally do it well, and even be the first to do it well.
Judging from the expected size in front of you, it is most suitable to make jade plaques.
However, Luo Hao planned to use imperial green as jade tablets in the second round, so that both games were jade tablets and would be repeated.
Although repetitions will not reduce points, Luo Hao himself does not want two identical categories to appear in the final works.
I don’t make jade tokens or ornaments, and the raw materials are a bit small.
The raw materials provided by the organizing committee of the finals are much better than during the rematch. The finals are gold silk jadeite, and the rematch is just dried green.
First, there are many more rematch contestants than the finals, and they all provide good jade, and the organizing committee does not have that much economic strength.
The second is to try to make the same jadeite as possible. The better the jadeite raw materials, the fewer the materials. More than 200 people in the semi-finals provide ice types, so they can't find so many at once.
Dry green seeds becomes the best choice for the rematch.
Such jade is also valuable. As long as it is carved well, it can also be auctioned for a good price.
The same was true in the finals, with only 36 contestants and the raw materials provided were much less, so the organizing committee took out the gold wire seeds.
The raw materials are smaller than the palm of your hand and can be made into small bracelets. Although jade bracelets are the most popular, no one will make bracelets during the finals.
What they want to compare is carving. The bracelet is good, but it is also the most difficult to show carving.
Many other contestants started to use the knife, and the sound of teeth was constantly sounding. Luo Hao was still staring at the wool in front of him, sitting there motionless.
Many judges were paying attention to him. Luo Hao was the biggest dark horse in this Jade Carving Competition and the number one in the Southern Rematch. Everyone also knew how he performed in the final, but Luo Hao just sat there, doing nothing, as if he had given up on the competition.
It took Luo Hao a full half an hour to pick up the tooth machine.
In the past half an hour, the online live broadcast platform has become much more lively. The live broadcast switches from time to time to time the contestants do jade carvings. Every time when they switch to Luo Hao, they will see Luo Hao in a daze.
Many people even posted barrage, thinking that Luo Hao was going to give up the game.
Without any description, Luo Hao started to take action directly. He had already ruled out the bracelet and jade token. The pendant was not suitable. The ornaments were too small, so there were not many left to choose.
What Luo Hao wants to do is hand-held pieces.
It is the kind that many people like to hold in their hands and play with them on their hands.
Hand-handle pieces are different from jade plaques. Hand-handle pieces are more complicated, especially carvings, which are very common and very important in hand-handle pieces.
This piece of raw material with a half palm size is sufficient thickness and can be used as a handle piece. What Luo Hao wants to do is a dragon-shaped handle piece.
The dragon is the totem of China and the most popular divine beast since China.
However, carving a dragon is not easy. It not only needs to be vividly carved, but also to make its eyes clear, as if it is alive.
Carving dragons is actually a lot of effort and time.
But for Luo Hao, this is not a problem. He has internal strength and is naturally advantageous. When it comes to jade carvings, it is much faster than others.
The tooth machine is carved bit by bit, and the dragon's scales appear one by one.
Many judges on the stage were looking at him. Seeing that he was carving a dragon, the judges started talking in a low voice.
"Luo Hao was half an hour later than others. If you carve a dragon, there would be not enough time!"
"It depends on his appearance, he has to make hand-held pieces, which is even more time-consuming!"
In fact, Luo Hao heard these arguments. He, who has the fourth level of internal strength, would not hide others from him if he was willing to talk in a low voice.
Is there not enough time?
That is more than enough for others and for him.
The tooth machine on Luo Hao's hand was shaking faster and faster, the dragon body quickly formed, and the faucet was next.
What Luo Hao wanted to carve was not one dragon, but two dragons playing with pearls.
On the online live broadcast platform, this will also talk about Luo Hao the most. It was wasted half an hour and had to carve two dragons playing with pearls. Many people were not optimistic about him.
The two dragon shapes were soon displayed in Luo Hao's hands, with the high dragon head and the elegant dragon whiskers appearing vividly.
Although it has not been polished yet, just by looking at this process, you can know that Luo Hao’s work is not bad.
"He did a good job in openwork!"
Master Xia smiled with satisfaction, Luo Hao did not let him down, and the openwork treatment was very good.
"The Yin-Yang Line is also perfect!"
Master He was not willing to be outdone, so he praised him, "Yin and Yang Line, that is his specialty."
After the two masters finished speaking, they started laughing together.
As long as Luo Hao maintains this state, the championship of this Jade Carving Competition will be stable.
If you think about it, you can know that if a jade carver who is better than them can't win the championship, how can he convince the public?
The other thirty-five people have good jade carving skills, but they are still worse than their eight top masters. Luo Hao is no less than them, and even better than them.
The two dragons were completely formed, but Luo Hao felt a little regretful.
During the carving process, he was always thinking about the Tianshui Dragon Horse by Lu Zigang. He really wanted to carve a real masterpiece like Lu Zigang.
Unfortunately, he failed this time.
Although his works are not bad, they have not reached the level of a master, which he knows best.
Such works can only be said to be at the level of top masters. Even if they are a little stronger than Master He and the others, they are limited in strength and do not exceed this category.
There is only one raw material. He cannot make a masterpiece in this game. He can only see whether his jade carving ability will be broken through and truly make a masterpiece.
Two hours after the competition began, Luo Hao polished and handed over his work.
He was the last one to take action and the first one to end the game.
The judges didn't say anything, but the live broadcast platform was blown up.
It is half an hour later than others and one hour earlier than others, which means that Luo Hao only spends half of the time that others have.
He made hand-held pieces. Although he saw that he did a good job on the live broadcast, because the live broadcast had to report to every contestant, there were not many shots for Luo Hao, and many people just took a look.
At this glance, I couldn't see much of it. Many people were suspicious that Luo Hao knew that he could not get good results and did this on purpose.
Nowadays, Luo Hao is the one who talks the most about on the live broadcast platform. Don’t think that he has submitted his own works.
Luo Hao returned to the arena.
Unlike the rematch, the finals are scored after each game, and the final three scores are added together, which is the total result.
The champion is the highest overall result.
However, the score must be carried out at the same time. The morning competition works will be scored at 2:30 pm. The competition will start at 3:00 and the competition will end at 6:00.
The judges' scores will not be announced to avoid affecting the status of the contestants. All scores will be temporarily sealed and will be announced after all competitions are over.
This is different from the rematch, but it is similar.
The total score was announced at the end, so as not to prevent the players who performed poorly in the first game from knowing that their performance was not good, which would affect their mentality. The performance in the second or even the third game became worse.
Back at his workbench, Luo Hao opened his perspective and looked at someone else's jade carvings.
No. 1 Han Sai is Luo Hao’s focus.
His jade carving ability is indeed quite strong. It can be said that he is only a little bit short of Master He and the others. His half foot has already entered the ranks of top masters.
Give him some more time, and he may be able to advance to the top masters in less than 45 years old.
Unfortunately, he is not a top master this time.
In the first game, even if Han Se can get high scores, it will not pose any threat to him. Han Se cannot do it, and it is even more impossible for others.
Chapter completed!
