Chapter 18 Two Options
"I'm sorry to be late, I'm so sorry to delay everyone's time." Peng Bai smiled. He was approachable and had a gentle tone, which also surprised the crowds of people next to him.
There is no way, even though we are all artists, we have names and surnames in the industry.
But artists are also divided into levels. Not to mention the difference between the sculpture industry and the construction industry. In terms of social status, the few famous sculptors present are definitely not as good as Peng Bai.
You should know that Peng Bai and his team are world-class top-notch existences.
Usually, it only undertakes projects worth billions or tens of billions of dollars.
China Overseas Sports Center, an investment of more than 100 billion yuan can only be considered a small project.
The reason why Peng Bai next was mainly to support the construction of his hometown.
The human relationship is very important.
To be honest, Peng Bai is at most a survey site and is responsible for controlling the general direction. The subsequent detailed conception and specific design of the project are basically completed by his students and teams.
In addition, everyone knows that in the final review, Peng Bai's attitude is undoubtedly the key.
Or, he was the one who made the decision in the end. Didn’t he see a group of experts sitting next to him, looking at him?
Based on several reasons, several sculptors naturally couldn't sit still and stood up to greet them.
"Master Han!"
"Mr. Paul..."
Peng Bai was very polite and said and said aloud.
After several minutes of greeting, everyone sat down again. There was no doubt that Peng Bai was sitting in the middle, and naturally someone handed over seven folders silently next to him.
As soon as he sat down, Peng Bai smiled at everyone and lowered his head to read the documents.
For a moment, the entire conference room became quiet, leaving only the sound of turning pages.
There are seven folders, and there is no mark. So the sculptors don’t know which file is their own solution, so their reactions are naturally different.
Some are calm and calm, some are full of confidence, and some are uneasy.
Not long after, Peng Bai finished reading the plan, and then he took three folders and placed them on his hand. As for other folders, he waved his hand gently, and naturally someone understood it and gently took it away and placed it in another place.
Seeing this, several sculptors' eyes narrowed and they knew it.
Of the seven plans, only three of them touched Peng Bai and caught his eye.
Who are these three people?
Chen Daqi stood next to the water dispenser, his eyes swept across the sculptors, and he speculated enthusiastically. But when his eyes were fixed on Baiye's face, he couldn't help but bare his teeth.
Damn Husky, he will definitely not be there.
Chen Daqi is sure, sure, and sure.
If he is...
Fortunately, Chen Daqi's oath has not been issued yet.
Peng Bai spoke, and he smiled warmly, "Mr. Paul, your works are very thoughtful. Can you talk to me about it, are you inspired by the design, where do you come from?"
"Of course it's OK."
Mr. Paul stood up and smiled happily.
He is a typical European, with deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, three-dimensional facial features. His hair is millet-colored, and his shape is very capable. His eyes are light blue and gray, and he reveals a shrewd light.
His age is between 40 and 50 years old, which is the peak period when Nian R&F is strong in energy and full of experience and inspiration.
As a foreigner, he worked and lived in a foreign country and didn’t know how much hardship he suffered. He started washing dishes during his studies and then continued to wash dishes after graduation.
After washing the plate for two more years, he found an opportunity to become an apprentice to a sculpture master.
He was talented and worked hard. Five years later, he changed from an apprentice to an assistant. Finally, he married the sculptor's Qianjin (not a typo) lady and became the son-in-law of the sculptor.
With the support of his father-in-law, he began to make his mark in the sculpture world and gradually became a famous sculptor.
It is the decades of life experience that have made Mr. Paul deeply understand the importance of opportunity. Especially now, such an excellent opportunity to be associated with world-class top architects, must not be missed.
"Look at it, this is a model of my work."
After living in this country for decades, Mr. Paul's official elegant language is naturally very authentic, and even has a bit of Chinese dialect tone.
He took out a sculpture model from his carry-on bag.
The thing is not big, more than ten centimeters tall, like a ball, and has a base. But when you look closely, you will find that the so-called spherical shape seems to be two bodies, with feet spreading, hands spreading, and fighting each other.
The problem is that the two fighting bodies have different colors. The most important thing is that the two people are tangled with their hands, as if they are... symbols.
"This is the inspiration I got in Tai Chi diagram."
Mr. Paul smiled and explained: "Everyone knows that the gymnasium is mainly built for competition, but the purpose of competition is not for fighting, but for unity and harmony."
"In my opinion, this concept is fully displayed in the Tai Chi diagram."
Mr. Paul said in a casual manner: "The essence of Tai Chi is the combination of yin and yang, movement and stillness, which emphasizes the unity of man and nature, the balance of all things, and harmony and perfection."
"So when I received the invitation, I immediately got inspiration and decided to use Tai Chi as a carrier to express the core understanding of sports competition. At the beginning, I and my assistant thought about many designs and drew many design drafts, but we were not satisfied with it ourselves and overturned them all."
"In the end, I thought that the carrier of competition was people, and only those who participated were competitive sports."
Mr. Paul smiled and said, "So I designed two human figures, which are abstract images, either concrete portraits. They are two figures that seem to be fighting and competing with each other, but in fact they are as round as balls, and they also seem to be embracing, which has the meaning of Tai Chi harmony and harmony. I want to tell everyone that friendship and harmony are the purpose of sports."
This foreigner is very proficient in Chinese studies, and he has a set of great principles.
Bai Ye was shocked and had to admit it.
Under the other party's explanation, the seemingly simple sculpture has a profound meaning.
No wonder Peng Bai was included in the alternative list.
Papa, papa.
After Mr. Paul finished his explanation, Peng Bai immediately clapped his hands gently, and the others were also very proud of their face and applauded.
Amid the warm applause, Mr. Paul smiled, nodded to everyone, and then sat down with satisfaction. He evaluated himself and performed not badly. Next, it depends on the weight of his opponent.
After a moment, the hall stopped.
Peng Bai's eyes turned and smiled and said, "Brother Han Lin, what are the considerations for the design of your work?"
As expected...
Many people nodded, not surprising at all.
After all, Han Lin is one of the few sculpture masters in China Overseas.
It would be strange if his works were not included in the alternative.
“This is my work.”
Han Lin stood up and put his model of his work on the desktop.
The ground is a black base, but above the base is an earth. A V-shaped oblique wall stands on the top of the earth. There are many statues above the oblique wall.
Someone takes the ball to jump, which is about to dunk.
Some people lean back and have balls on their toes, as if they have to take advantage of the situation.
Someone held a stabbing sword and stabbed the sky straight.
Someone was holding a racket and waving.
...
More than a dozen statues represent different movements.
Converge on the V-shaped sculpture.
The work is presented, which is easy to understand and clear at a glance.
There is no need to explain it at all, and you can understand the specific connotation of this sculpture.
The master is a master, and his actions are indeed extraordinary.
But Han Lin still explained: "My work is mainly inspired by the competitive events of the sports meet. Although the athletes come from different countries, we are all members of the earth, regardless of each other."
"The V-shaped shape represents victory. In my opinion, no matter what kind of sport it is, the most essential core of the competition is to win. Only the final winner can obtain supreme glory."
"In addition, the V-shaped shape means standing on the earth. I just want to tell everyone that no matter it is an individual or a country, only through hard work can one be qualified to stand on the top of the earth."
Han Lin said meaningfully: "Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest."
He exposed the truest side of competition.
Everyone was silent and sighed in their hearts.
Reality!
At the same time, they also thought about it.
On the one hand, we promote harmony and friendship, and on the other hand, we declare victory first.
Both solutions are good, how to choose?
etc……
Some people reacted because they seemed to have another solution.
