Shen Qianshu covered her mouth and chuckled. Master is indeed Master. Shen Qianshu’s heart has found its balance, what is she going to do now?
Taking coolness to a whole new level. And the thing is, he’s not being pretentious, he really is cool.
The first judge started with the shortest introduction of the year. The CEOs of the three big jewelry companies gave simple and short introductions as well. The professional judges gave longer introductions than them, but they were still much shorter than the ones they made the previous year.
After the judges had finished their introduction, the contestants did theirs. After that, they screened photos of the jewelry competition from previous years and the designs that had been given awards in the competition. All eyes were on Shen Lin, and she became the center of attention. The AG designer Xie Xiaomei was the first runner-up, and Luo Jingshu was third.
This segment took a longer time, and following that, it was time for the appraisers.
The appraiser panel was placed in the last segment. It was because the appraisers had to announce the scores of designers from the first round. Although they were from different companies, the names and scores were fixed. Luo Jingshu scored 100 marks, Shen Lin scored 90, and the second runner-up scored 85. The other three scored 80. It was the same for all three jewelry companies; this segment accounted for 20% of the overall score. The maximum score was 100, and they would be taken into account during the calculation of the final score.
Luo Jingshu from Dream Star had a higher score than Shen Lin, and that surprised the audiences. On stage, Luo Jingshu and Shen Lin did not seem to be bothered.
The first part followed the usual rules. They had to use the gem of their choice, and using the characteristics of it, design a product. From the selection of the gem all the way until the competition, many contestants would prepare a lot of design works. As to which design they would use, they would decide that during the competition. This was the most common starting of design competitions. The reason Shen Lin was anxious to get designs was so that she could interpret and understand the designs earlier. Shen Qianshu gave her the design the day before the competition on purpose. But that was not considered making things difficult for her. After all, Shen Lin’s interpretation of the design was not bad, and she could understand.
Ye Ling said calmly, “The first part is a routine. The judges need to see two designs.”
Ye Ling spoke suddenly, and that surprised Shen Qianshu. She could not help but look at Shen Lin. Indeed, Shen Lin seemed nervous and a little flustered. She tried her best to calm down. This was the first time in so many years that there was a change in the rules. In the past few years, the judges only required one design.
Shen Qianshu thought, Shen Lin is about to suffer a setback…
Unless, she had already prepared for it a long time ago.
From what she knew, Shen Lin’s designs were inconsistent. Some of them were not bad, and Shen Qianshu hoped that she could develop her ideas well. At least, she did not want to ruin her own reputation.
After all, Shen Lin’s designs came from Shen Qianshu. She wished that her products would win awards.
Eighteen designers were busy designing. The first design came out very quickly, but as for the second one, even Xie Xiaomei struggled a little. In the past few years, only one design was expected. They gave in their all to prepare for a design to use in the competition. Wanting two designs and wanting them to be perfect required everyone to think thoroughly. But time was short, and they only had half an hour. The contestants put on earphones so they could not hear what the emcee was talking about.
Every detail in the competition would be live-streamed to the audiences.
From brainstorming of ideas to penning them down until the moment it was finished.
During this half an hour, it was not boring at all. The emcee would introduce the gems that the contestants were using and talk about the finished designs. The emcee would also interact with the judges and appraisers while the live-stream was also going on.
There were very few jewelry competitions that were held in such a way.
