Chapter 309 Awards
After hearing Mu Bai's answer, Gongsun Huai said seriously: "Just get used to it, a genius is always lonely."

Mu Bai smiled and asked: "How do you know I'm a genius?"

"There is a huge difference between oil painting and comics. You must be a genius in the painting world if you are so good at both." Gongsun Huai said confidently.

Mu Bai shook his head, and turned to talk about the customs of Jin.

Gongsun Huai said: "When the princes were fighting, Jin often became the overlord. At that time, Jin represented blood, passion, and advanced thinking."

He sighed, and changed the topic: "It's different now. On the surface, Jin is still one of the five tyrants, but the royal family of Jin is extravagant, and officials are corrupt. This country is rotten from the root."

Mu Bai glanced at the pedestrians around him: "Isn't it appropriate to make such remarks in Jin?"

Gongsun Huai spread his hands, "The people of Jin State told me all this."

Mu Bai was taken aback, could it be that the state of Jin has become so corrupt that even its own citizens are disappointed with it?
The two chatted and came to the awards ceremony.

Although the Art Contest for College Students is also a world-class event, compared to the previous song conference that Mu Bai participated in, it is not 01:30 points worse in popularity.

At the entrance of the venue, there were only a dozen reporters and photographers taking pictures and interviews. The most important thing was that there were no fans around, and there were a group of relatives and friends to help out, so there was no excitement at all.

It wasn't until Mu Bai arrived and the reporters came to interview him together that the scene had the meaning of an international competition.

The reporter obviously knew Mu Bai, and mainly asked him some questions about new songs.

Mu Bai was a novice at the beginning of the last song competition, but in this art competition, he was a well-known figure and one of the main interview targets for reporters.

After all, Mu Bai's "Chengdu" entered the top five in the "National Ranking" last month, and this result is already at the level of an internationally renowned composer.

Mu Bai reminded them: "Today is an art awards show!"

A reporter immediately asked again: "Then Mr. Mu Bai came to sing for the party?"

"I'm here to get the prize." Mu Bai smiled and waved to everyone, and then continued to enter the venue.

Gongsun Huai on the side said with emotion: "Painters in big countries are indeed easier to get traffic, like me, I was considered a well-known figure in Wei, but when I came to Jin, there was still no one who knew me."

Mu Bai smiled and said, "You don't know me well enough to say that. How can there be any well-known painters in the art competition for college students?"

When they arrived at the entrance of the venue, Gongsun Huai had no choice but to separate from Mu Bai dejectedly because the seats of the two people were not in the same area.

After the awards ceremony started, Mu Bai had a partner of the same nationality by his side, and Gongsun Huaicai was really alone.

After Mu Bai sat down, he played with his mobile phone for a while, and the college student painters from Zhou State came together.

Everyone is from the state of Zhou, so they have heard of Mu Bai's name a little bit, but Mu Bai has never acted with everyone, and everyone feels that they are a little strange to Mu Bai, so everyone isolates Mu Bai intentionally or unintentionally.

Mu Bai was also a little helpless, unable to join their conversation, so he could only continue playing with his mobile phone.

More and more students and teachers entered the venue, and the venue gradually became lively.

Only then did Mu Bai discover the benefits of teachers coming together, the teachers not only know their own teachers, but also some foreign teachers.

As soon as they lead the line, the students get to know each other.

So the venue turned into a large social venue. After all, if you want to be a painter, in addition to having excellent painting skills, connections are also very important.

Only Mu Bai and some college student painters from small countries sat on their chairs and stared.

Mu Bai didn't make any preparations, he couldn't invite a heavyweight teacher to come with him, otherwise if Zhou Yazhe came with him, it is estimated that many teachers would have to take the initiative to talk to them.

On the other hand, college student painters in small countries want to enter the mainstream circle, but the mainstream circle doesn't take them seriously. They always have hot faces and cold asses, so they are reluctant to walk around anymore.

Many people discovered Mu Bai and saw him coming to the ceremony alone, thinking that no teacher was willing to accompany him.

Generally, such students would not have very good grades, so no one took Mu Bai seriously.

Around seven o'clock, Ding Xiyan and other bachelors entered the arena, and the awards ceremony entered the countdown stage.

Everyone just sat down and discussed in low voices whether their works could get a good ranking.

And Mu Bai already felt a little bored, if he was not curious about his current level, what level is it in the international arena, he would just go back to China, after all, the studio still has a lot of things to do.

At seven twenty, the party officially began.

First, there were speeches by several important figures, followed by several cultural performances, and then the award ceremony officially began.

Three encouragement awards were awarded first, and a student from Chu State made a brief comment.

Because it was the first award, everyone's applause was extremely warm, and the three winners were also a little bit flustered.

This is an international competition, and winning a prize is a great honor that can be written in your profile and resume.

One of the winners was Zhou Guoren. When he stepped off the stage, he even took a look at Mu Bai, thinking that he was famous?In such a high-profile event, it's not just that they can only come as a background, and they didn't even get an encouragement award!

After each artistic performance, three third prizes and two second prizes were awarded.

One of the third prizes was also taken by Gongsun Huai who came to the scene with Mu Bai. The painter from this small country immediately became one of the focuses of the scene.

As soon as he took his seat, many people came to congratulate him, which was in sharp contrast to the previous situation where no one paid any attention to him.

The level of the two second prizes is already very high, and they are all evaluated by bachelors from a certain country. In particular, a second prize winner was immediately accepted as a disciple by a bachelor.

This made everyone boil, everyone worked so hard to compete, isn't it just to get into the eyes of the scholars!

Now that someone has achieved such a goal, everyone immediately cheers them up, as if they have hope.

Mu Bai also wondered if his level is not enough to win the second prize?Obviously, the two second prize paintings are so-so in his opinion!
In the end, when the first prize was announced, the entire venue froze. Those who can win this award will have a high probability of becoming a first-class painter in the future.

And being able to get No.1 is equivalent to getting admission tickets to the highest universities in various countries such as Hongwen Museum. No matter what happened before, it will be a blockbuster in the future.

The host had a lot of skills and magnified the suspense several times. Just when everyone's hearts were jumping in their throats, he announced: "The one who won No.1 is from Zhou Guo!"

He paused deliberately to give everyone time to focus all their attention on Zhou Guo's position.

The eleven young painters in Zhou State, except for two who had received the award, were all excited. Is the goddess of luck really going to miss me?
Seeing that the atmosphere had finally reached a climax, the host arrived: "Congratulations to Mu Bai from Zhou Kingdom!"

After everyone was stunned for a short while, some people reacted and began to applaud.

Gongsun Huai, who was sitting in the back row, was shocked. Just now, he thought that Mu Bai would be shortlisted at most. After all, someone who is good at comics may not necessarily be good at oil paintings.

Unexpectedly, Mu Bai came out on top in this competition.

In the next second, Gongsun Huai smiled and shook his head, applauding Mu Bai: "The world is really wonderful."

Zhou Guo’s little painters had more exciting expressions. Just now they isolated Mu Bai intentionally or unintentionally, but they won the first prize all at once.

Now they don't know what expression to use to face Mu Bai.

Among them was an art student from Shenghuai College. Since Mu Bai and Ji Yuanjie's relationship was announced, many boys in the art department began to look at Mu Bai with colored glasses.

This student is one of the boys. When the teacher who came with him just now wanted to introduce other teachers and students for Mu Bai, he tried his best to stop him. He was a person who deliberately isolated Mu Bai.

Just now he won a third prize, and he has completely ignored Mu Bai.

After all, he was there when Mu Bai won No.1 at the Laba Gala last year, so he didn't like Mu Bai, but he still knows Mu Bai's painting skills well.

But he is also very clear that even Mu Bai is at the second or third place in the world.

After learning of the two No.2s, this classmate had already thought about how to brag about himself to his classmates after returning to China, and belittled Mu Bai for coming all the way, but ended up feeling frustrated and unwelcome.

How did he know that when Mu Bai was painting "The Interaction of Time and Space", he had no inspiration at all, it was almost a painting made by force.

But "Goddess of Luck" is different. The distress at sea and the long kiss with Ji Yuanjie inspired Mu Bai to burst out of inspiration. He painted vividly and freely, representing his works at his best.

When the host announced that Mu Bai was No. 1, the classmate clapped along numbly, as if he had lost his soul.

Teachers and young painters from other countries wondered why the teachers in Zhou Guo didn’t introduce such an excellent college student painter to everyone just now?
If they could teach such an outstanding student, they would want to let the whole world know about it!
It wasn't until Mu Bai got up that they realized that Mu Bai was the student who came without a teacher.

This made them feel a little uncomfortable. After all, they didn't make friends with Mu Bai when he was lonely. It would be a bit artificial to make friends with him now.

Mu Bai quickly came to the stage and greeted everyone first.

His words and deeds are very natural, unlike the students who received the award before, most of them are more nervous, and some people are so nervous that they can't even speak clearly.

Ding Xiyan, the most senior judge of this art competition, personally commented on "Goddess of Luck": "First of all, this painting combines abstraction and realism very well.

"Dark clouds, lightning and thunder, this stormy and stormy scene, Mu Bai portrayed it thoroughly, let us see the ferocious side of nature, and even unconsciously feel afraid.

"But look at the gray-black main theme, this colorful figure is the finishing touch of the whole painting, just a back view can make people feel at ease.

"Let's look at the whole painting again, is there an illusion that this character is sheltering people from the wind and rain?

“Although the storm is frightening and suffocating, this character single-handedly gives us the illusion of being outside the storm, which can make the viewer feel at peace.

"I commented that other paintings are all rich in color, so this painting expresses rich emotions. I even think that even if I use this painting to participate in an adult-level art competition, I will definitely get a very good ranking! "

Ding Xiyan's comment was a high praise, and everyone applauded again.

Mu Bai said a few words modestly, as if he wasn't the one who won the award.

In fact, he participated in this competition mainly because he wanted to compare his own level with the world's painting level through this competition, so that when he participated in similar art competitions in the future, he would know it well.

The host smiled and asked Mu Bai: "You should know that getting No. 1 in this competition is equivalent to having the opportunity to recruit special students. Are you happy?"

Mu Bai took the phone and said, "I wonder if I can give this opportunity to others?"

Many people exclaimed, and more people didn't quite understand what Mu Bai meant. They didn't believe that Mu Bai could give up such a good opportunity?

Mu Bai continued to explain: "I got the special admissions opportunity at the beginning of this year, and it's meaningless to take it again."

do not know why?Many students in the audience felt that Mu Bai suddenly became very unflattering.

Mu Bai is not a clay figurine, he has already recorded the cold treatment everyone gave him just now, and now he has the opportunity to make them feel uncomfortable.

The host was stunned for a few seconds before laughing: "Well, this is the first time I've encountered this situation, since Zhou Guo's Ding Xueshi is here, why don't we ask Ding Xueshi!
"Scholar Ding, what do you think of Mu Bai's question just now?"

Ding Xiyan smiled and said: "This is not a toy for children, how can you just let it go?"

Then she said: "At first, I wanted to take you in as a disciple, but after reading your "Goddess of Luck", I don't have anything to teach you. Otherwise, let my father take you in as a disciple another day."

There was another commotion under the stage. There had been a precedent for students who performed well in international competitions to be accepted as disciples by national scholars.

But such precedents are very few after all. Is there going to be one more case today?
In the end, everyone saw that Mu Bai seemed very embarrassed!Uncle!What's the problem?
Mu Bai thought for a few seconds before saying: "I have read Ding Guoshi's works, and I really hope to listen to Ding Guoshi's teachings, but you know, Ding Xueshi, I am too busy now, and I don't have time to study with Ding Guoshi. "

There are many people under the stage who are about to swear, and waste everything!Such a good opportunity did not know how to cherish it.

Ding Xiyan smiled: "We'll talk about this later."

The host then asked Mu Bai: "Since the chances of special recruits and the chances of Guoshi disciples can't impress you, then now that you have won the award, how do you feel?"

Mu Bai thought for a while: "I really want to know, how much is the first prize?"

A piece fell under the stage.

　Thanks to 【童叶】for the recommendation ticket.
