Chapter 38: Ranking

The evaluation continues after half past two.
The judges will score and comment on the works on the spot, and then select one, two or three. The judges invited are all major calligraphers and painters with certain qualifications, as well as officials from the Calligraphy and Painting Association. They have no intention of adding a bit of weight to the competition.
Li Wei has returned to the audience and sat with Li Jianbo.
All those who have passed the preliminary rounds and entered the semi-finals have finalists. Now it is not easy to pick a place from these finalists. The judges' scoring has a strong personal preference, so the focus is completely different.
Li Wei's "Mountain Villa" is very eye-catching in a series of slightly immature works, and the score is high, but it is not certain whether it will get the first place, because there is also a work that is also well evaluated. It was a painting of flowers and birds in fine brushwork. The white vase was filled with blooming peony flowers. Several butterflies were flying around these flowers. The color is full and gorgeous.
This work is a painting by contestant No. 19. She remembers Tang Shiyun is No. 19.
But Tang Shiyun can also paint paintings like this!
After the judges scored, the results came out. The host began to draw prizes, first giving out consolation prizes such as the Most Potential Award and the Best Performance Award.
After these awards are awarded, the top three will be awarded. The host said: "Now let's invite the 11th, 19th, and 27th players to play."
Before Li Wei could react, Li Jian told her, "You are the 27th, go now."
Only then did Li Wei get up and she showed a big smile to Li Jianbo. She walked slowly to the stage, straightened her waist, and kept her eyes open.
Only number 11 of the three is a boy. The boy looks a little bored with thick-soled eyes. Perhaps it is because of his young age and nervousness.
The host began to interview the three contestants. On the 11th, when he talked about his painting experience, his tone was a little trembling. When he was nervous, he also made a slip of the tongue, which caused the audience to laugh. The boy blushed even more. Well, the host didn't embarrass him too much, and then interviewed Tang Shiyun. Tang Shiyun was generous and articulate. At first glance, he was a little girl who had seen the big scene, and was not afraid of it. The host seemed to love this little girl very much, and interviewed her for two minutes.
Then the microphone was handed to Li Wei, when the host asked her "Why do you want to learn painting?"
Li Wei simply answered a few words: "Because I like it."
Immediately afterwards, the judges asked the three of them to interpret their paintings. Li Wei shared his views on Li Gonglin, and finally said: "I painted this painting to pay tribute to him."
Her remarks amused the judges, thinking that the little girl had a big tone, and she was really naive and innocent. Then came the draw. The first prize was the third prize, which was awarded to the teenager with thick-soled eyes. The teenager was holding the trophy and the certificate, his face smiled like a flower, and the shyness just now was gone.
Then the second place was awarded. When the host read Li Wei's name, she stepped forward. The host smiled and introduced: "This is a young 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 is experienced in writing and has profound skills, but always thinks that she is innovative. There is still a little missing, please make persistent efforts."
Innovation? Just because she was a copy, she lost to number 19? When Li Wei, who was seeking stability, got the trophy and award certificate from the vice director of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, she felt a little unwilling. I knew not to draw any "Mountain Villa".
Tang Shiyun won first place with a picture of "The Blooming Chrysanthemum".
The three of them stood in a row, and several cameras below were snapping shots.
She really doesn't speak, she is a blockbuster. Li Jianbo applauded quickly, at this moment more happy than he won the prize. Li Wei was a little unwilling but still generously sent his blessings to Tang Shiyun. Tang Shiyun carried the pride of a winner, but the smile on his face was a little stiff. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew in her heart that this "Mountain Villa" had a huge impact on her. Li Wei is a terrible opponent. If it weren't for his father's relationship, it would be hard to say whether today's number one would fall on her.
After the prizes are issued, the entire competition is over. Li Jianbo went up and gave Li Wei a big hug: "Wei Wei bless you."
Li Wei responded generously: "Thank you brother."
"You little Nizi really can't see it. Originally, I only wanted to take you out to meet the world and gain some insight. I didn't expect you to take a trophy back when you participated for the first time. I never knew you were so good." Li Jianbo scratched Li Wei's nose dozingly.
Winning the prize was naturally a celebration. Li Jianbo invited him and said that he would take Li Wei to eat hot pot.
The long alleys are a bit narrow, and even a small car 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, and you can smell the fragrance wafting out of them as soon as you get to the alley.
Li Jianbo took Li Wei into a store, found a seat against the wall. The style of hot pot in this era is very different from that in Daqi. There is a gas tank under the table, and there is a big groove in the middle for the pot. As soon as the gas is ventilated, the pot will start to boil. Daqi's hot pot is made with charcoal in the heart of the furnace, and it is hot while eating. Eating hot pot in winter is a kind of enjoyment, but in summer like now, I dare not try it.
"What kind of food do you like to eat?" Li Jianbo took the menu and looked at it, and Li Wei said, "I'll do whatever you want."
Li Jianbo took a look and ordered five dishes, then ordered a bottle of drink.
When the dishes are served, they will be blanched after the pot is opened. The thinly sliced ​​beef slices have been marinated with seasoning in advance and can be eaten after a few rolls in the pot.
In this era, the materials are much richer than that of Daqi, and of course there are more delicious things. Sweets are delicious, hot pot is even more delicious.
Li Weida feasted, with a happy smile on his face. Once again, I deeply feel that being an ordinary girl in this time and space is much more comfortable and cozy than the queen mother of some kind.
After eating the hot pot, it was already dark when I came out, and the street lights were already on, lighting up the city at night.
The urban nightlife of this era is still somewhat monotonous. The traffic on the street has decreased, there is no square dancing, and no loud music, which seems a bit peaceful.
Walking under the sign of a neon sign, Li Wei raised his head and looked up, thinking that the brilliant color flashing was really beautiful.
Li Jianbo had walked out for a while, but found that his sister hadn't followed, so he hurriedly turned around to look at Li Wei, only to see Li Wei standing under the sign in a daze. At this time, he wondered again in his heart, is his sister also a person of the same fate as him? Otherwise, how did people who could not write well in pen writing become good at calligraphy and painting?
