Chapter 61

Eight models who had already changed their appearance appeared one by one in the background music, but none of them were professional. Their steps were uneven, and they had all kinds of virtues.

The other contestants were well prepared in advance and had everything they needed to do their styling. Compared to the first round, their overall performance was very stable, and their style was consistent with their previous works. There were no major mistakes or surprises.

Until the appearance of Jiang Xiaoyuan, the 'Northern Beauty'.

When the host announced 'There are beautiful women in the north on the 12th', the audience had already started to warm up with laughter before anyone arrived.

A shadow rushed up backstage, originally running all the way, and anyone close to the stage could hear him saying, "It's my turn to go on stage, girl. You're too lazy

The poor stylist who couldn't catch up with the model shouted from behind, "Pay attention to your manners! Don't run, walk slowly! The paint hasn't dried yet, don't rub it off

The person sitting close in the front row laughed again, and the next moment, the model appeared under the lights, and everyone exclaimed "wow" collectively.

The imagined scene of a man dressed as a woman and a bear dressed as a Diao Chan did not happen. The model on the 12th appeared shirtless, wearing a loose and exotic silk robe.

When this model first appeared, he was not very attractive. Unexpectedly, his figure was surprisingly good. There was rarely any excess fat on his waist, and several abdominal muscles were neatly arranged. His body seemed to have been coated with a layer of honey. The religious body painting was extremely tense, and the facial makeup was heavily colored. The corners of the model's eyes were artificially elongated, and the shadows on his face were just right at the critical point of strength and softness. It was a bit sacred, but also very eerie.

Not gods or demons, not Buddhas or demons, it seems that neither men nor women.

Jiang Xiaoyuan spared no effort to discover the tall and straight figure advantage of the model, and he was full of primitive spirituality.

The flash lit up, and Jiang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and followed calmly.

The guest who unexpectedly gave her a lot in the first round suddenly turned on the microphone and asked, "contestant number twelve, did your appearance refer to Dunhuang murals

Jiang Xiaoyuan nodded calmly and said, "Yes

Sitting in the back row, Jiang Bo was stunned and couldn't believe that Jiang Xiaoyuan had such a clever way of handling things.

She is different from others, with no plan in hand and no preparation on her own. Many complex materials cannot be found in time, and the model itself has grown into this ghostly appearance. In men's styling, clothing and accessories are still her biggest disadvantage. Surprisingly, she completely downplayed the "clothing" and "decoration" in her styling and creatively replaced them with body painting!

Although her painting skills have no achievements in the professional field, they are enough to leave a deep impression on people in a semi amateur setting.

Qilian turned her head with a smile and said, "How about it? I'll tell you

Jiang Bo remained silent for a while before asking, "I've always been curious. Where did she learn her profound artistic skills from

Where did her confidence that 'money is something outside of her' come from?

Can she really read about the world's famous brands from magazines? How much homework does that require?

Qilian suddenly felt a bit satisfied - because this was a secret that only he knew.

He pretended to think for a moment and gave a very disappointing answer: "I don't know, maybe it's innate

The bright lights on stage overwhelmed the discussions below, and this time, judges, guests, and audience members need to rate before commenting.

When the host read 'number twelve', Jiang Xiaoyuan heard the model next to her also take a breath - he was even more nervous than herself.

Host: "First of all, the public rating - out of 30 points, contestant number 12... Wow, contestant number 12 scored 29.5 points

Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't have time to be happy after listening, and she was completely stunned.

In the first round, Dianping, which didn't really buy her account, actually gave her the highest score of the whole game?

Being recognized by others is a wonderful thing, let alone being recognized by many people.

The surprise came a bit too quickly.

Jiang Xiaoyuan paused for a moment before revealing a proper smile and bowing to Dianping. With this score at the bottom, she felt that even if she was caught in this hurdle, it couldn't be considered a loss.

So next is the guest rating, and the scores given by the three guests are: "Ten, eight, and... one

When the word 'one point' was spoken, the host's voice lowered, and without asking, they knew who had scored this point. Fan Xiaoxiao acted recklessly, without considering her own and others' faces.

Suddenly, there were booing sounds from all around.

Jiang Xiaoyuan sneered and lowered her head, not feeling surprised.

The host quickly cleared his throat and said, "Finally, it's the score of the competition organizing committee's judging panel. The total score of the organizing committee's judging panel is 40, and the score of the 12th contestant

The host gave a subtle pause, and Jiang Xiaoyuan's originally calm heart followed suit. The ominous premonition once again knocked her down, and the next second, her premonition became true again.

Host: "Twenty nine points

Except for Fan Xiaoxiao, who disregards public order and good customs, the default minimum score for the preliminary round is seven points, four people, and twenty-nine points. This means that at least three of the four people gave Jiang Xiaoyuan the lowest score.

The crowd who had just booed was shocked to find that they had booed too early.

Jiang Xiaoyuan's heart, hanging in mid air, "clicked" and fell, causing her heart, liver, and lungs to tremble - just like she didn't expect her public ratings to be so high, and she didn't expect her judges' scores to be so low.

The people on both sides sat on the seesaw and played "one after another" against her score, adding endless watchability and suspense to this unknown preliminary match.

The judges are not as fierce as Fan Xiaoxiao. In this situation, we still need to send a representative to make a statement.

The representative is the wife of an investor whom Qilian has met privately. She sits upright behind the judging panel, looking very tired. When she speaks, her hands still rise and fall, and she is vaguely knitting a sweater.

The jury gave this score after careful consideration, "said the weaving professional." The twelfth contestant is very talented and her performances are unexpected, often bringing us surprises. However, after discussion, the jury still believes that her second round work has serious off topic issues

The host learned from the previous lesson and this time, she tightly held onto her microphone, not giving Jiang Xiaoyuan a chance to confront the judges.

However, just because Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't have a chance to speak doesn't mean others are the same. Suddenly, the guest who had been silent and silently gave Jiang Xiaoyuan a perfect score said, "I'm sorry, I have a different opinion

Among the three guests, Fan Xiaoxiao has the most presence, sitting there creates a huge sense of presence. There is also one guest who speaks the most, who not only makes various mediocre comments but also praises Ms. Fan's stinky feet.

Only this female guest, with short hair and an unremarkable appearance, wearing a thick woolen coat, has the image of an ordinary middle-aged woman. When she goes out, she doesn't seem to be a fashion industry practitioner at all.

She sat silently in the corner, hardly commenting, just silently grading. Despite being introduced by the host, others still forgot who she was.

The short haired guest ignored Fan Xiaoxiao's snow-white face and turned his gaze to the judging panel: "I would like to ask all the judges, what is the idea behind the 'beauty in the north' look in your minds? Or, in your hearts, what should the 'correct look' created by the contestant look like? A big man dressed as a ladyboy

The professional weaver chuckled awkwardly and said, 'That's not...'

The guest stubbornly asked, "What is that

Another judge quickly took the microphone and tried to smooth things out: "It's like this, we believe that design is a very subjective and expressive art. For the same topic, everyone will have their own different interpretations, so there's no need

The short haired guest said, "So you don't have any ideas yourself, how do you use your own 'answers' that you don't even have to answer to judge if someone else is off topic

Jiang Xiaoyuan and this guest are strangers, and I don't know why she suddenly spoke up for justice.

Then, the short haired guest who spoke up for her coldly glanced at her and said with a stern face, "I can see that you have a weakness in clothing, but the flaws do not overshadow your strengths. Moreover, you have successfully covered up this weakness in this round, so I give you a high score. I know that absolute fairness does not exist, but in an open competition to society, inviting so many people to participate in three rounds of competition and a three in one scoring model, if even basic fairness cannot be guaranteed, then I cannot think of the significance of being invited to sit here

After finishing speaking, the guest tapped the microphone and picked up the coat on the back of the chair to stand up and cover themselves: "Since the competition is already like this, there's no need for me to score anymore. My task is completed, you guys can play slowly

After speaking, she picked up her handbag as if no one else was around and walked out the back door, looking down on the mortal world.

Host: "..."

Guest judges and contestants lined up like dried salted fish on stage: "..."

The audience roared with excitement as if their voices were ignited. Halfway through the performance, the guests left. It was so bizarre!

The media's lights have sparked a new round of lightning frenzy, and the scene seems to be uncontrollable. The host on stage wants to cry and think, "I can't keep going, raise my salary

After the second round of the competition, it was forced to be suspended, and the front and back ends were in chaos. Jiang Xiaoyuan, a model who was neither divine nor demonic, with a tall and sophisticated appearance, stood in the mirror for a while and then turned back to ask Jiang Xiaoyuan, "Hey girl, why do you want to wash this thing when you go back

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."

She shrugged helplessly, wondering if the model could get his three hundred yuan. The organizing committee may have already treated her like a rat dropper. Since the day she participated in the qualifiers, the entire regional qualifiers have not stopped.

Twenty minutes later, the organizing committee urgently held a meeting and agreed to partially refer to the opinions of the guests who had already left, raising Jiang Xiaoyuan's "29 points" to "33 points", which is relatively moderate. After all, she is too far fetched to compare with the careful preparation of others.

The four contestants with relatively high points in the first two rounds will advance, while the remaining four will be eliminated with only one chance of revival, relying on public evaluation.

This time, the goddess of luck abandoned Jiang Xiaoyuan. She didn't score high in both rounds and finished sixth, so she had to be called off while someone else was giving a promotion speech.

There were only a few sporadic staff members in the background. Someone put a glass of water in front of her and left it alone. There was a small window in the corner, and the sunlight had begun to dim. Her mood fluctuated greatly, and she sat down to find that the cold sweat on her back had soaked through her thin shirt.

However, the result is still not satisfactory.

If she ultimately fails to make it to the finals, their studio's development in the unfamiliar city will be difficult. Can they win a place by advertising in Luoyang, where paper is expensive?

How many resources does Qilian investors have to make them advertise extensively?

For a moment, Jiang Xiaoyuan thought in frustration that if it weren't for Fan Xiaoxiao, it would have been great if Teacher Jiang could have personally taken the stage.

She felt like a half paralyzed person, always unable to walk in a straight line along the right path. With a slight gust of wind, she would become extremely arrogant, feeling like she could come and go freely within the four seas and five lakes. Even a slight setback would make her feel like she had nowhere to go, a person born without talent.

She could only realize after reflecting on these things that in a specific situation, it is impossible to grasp the psychological state well no matter what.

Perhaps I have some ability, "Jiang Xiaoyuan thought," but it's not enough

At this moment, the conference staff came in.

The organizer said, "Attention all four contestants, the final round of the competition is about to begin. For you, the final round is not a knockout round, but a revival round. There is only one spot left to reach the finals. You already know the questions, please use the models brought by you in the first round

Sorry to ask, what's the question? I don't know

The corners of the conference's mouth twitched, as if someone had slapped her. All the contestants turned around and looked at Jiang Xiaoyuan with strange eyes... It was unclear whether it was goodwill or malice, but for a moment, Jiang Xiaoyuan felt like a primary school student who had gone to the wrong classroom.

Her face was calm and composed, and her spine involuntarily straightened up. She said calmly, "May I ask what the topic is

Wear and travel through time and space. "For some reason, the organizers felt somewhat embarrassed under her gaze, their voices lowered a bit, and they hurriedly took out a piece of paper from their pockets." Please choose the person you most want to see in time and space, use at least one special effects technique to create the image of that person in your mind, and say what you most want to say to that person to the model on site

Special effects——

Very good, Jiang Xiaoyuan nodded calmly after listening, feeling that this time it was really going to be tough enough.

However, she ultimately refused to leave in a panic. Apart from her enemies, there were also her teachers and loved ones in the audience. The lighthouse virus couldn't make her surrender, let alone anything else?

After the host announced the resurrection method earlier, Jiang Bo also frowned deeply, but he did not mention the matter of leaving again.

The finished product of the third round came out quickly. The theme of "time travel" is not very interesting, and there are only two directions to choose from: historical figures or future themes. Choose more historical themes because visual materials and portraits can provide a lot of reference for styling.

In the time field, there is Wu Zetian, Newton disguised as a man, a Terminator from the future time and space, and Jiang Xiaoyuan.

Jiang Xiaoyuan's model was idle backstage. She asked the staff to place a full-length dressing mirror in the center of the stage. In the confusion of the crowd, she walked over from the stage with a cat waist and a collapsed back, struggling to move forward. I don't know how she did it, but her whole body seemed to shrink by one size.

She looked up and revealed a face covered in grooves, her gray hair tied up in a ball and stuck at the back of her head.

The question requires at least one special effects technique. Jiang Xiaoyuan chose the most basic elderly makeup and applied it to her face. She stood trembling in front of the dressing mirror and reached out to stick the "model" number tag on top of the "old lady" in the mirror.
