Xue Lao's words caused some people to be delighted and others to worry.[Super good!]
From the answers shown by 8 teams, some teams judged Jin Ying as a fake. Now there is no need for judges to score, everyone in the field knows that those who judge Jin Ying as a fake have nothing to do with the first place.
Not only did I not get first place, but I also lost a lot of face. Although people have their slips and horses have their stumbles, at this moment, no matter what others might say, one's own heart is not very calm.
Fortunately, the 8 teams participating in the competition, despite coming from different countries, have a high level of quality. After all, they were able to stand out from their own country and participate in an international exchange conference, with some people looking forward to it, and also having good hardware themselves.
Don't look at Wang Juan, who often has brain farts, but she did get into the government agency through her own hard work. In such a big gathering, she still knows what to do and what not to do.
Moreover, she and Xia Jun didn't get photographed dead from the start, and their identification answer also thought that this golden eagle belonged to a genuine product.
In this last item of competition, those who got it wrong from the start were in the minority, with only two teams doing so.
The two teams that answered incorrectly maintained their composure, sitting in their own positions and calmly waiting for what Old Xue had to say next.
Gu Meng didn't find this answer unexpected. What she cared about was the basis for the explanation that followed. Judging correctly is only half the success, and the remaining half must be correct in order to truly be correct.
She knew that after the first true or false judgment was correct, the focus of the scoring would be on the basis of the identification given later. The more accurate, comprehensive and meticulous the answer is, the higher the probability of getting a high score will be.
Mr. Xue and others on the scene discussed the answer given first in a low voice, then continued to explain the golden eagle: "This golden eagle belongs to Western antiques, but don't be fooled by the two words 'Western'. From its appearance, this golden eagle does conform to the aesthetic view of Westerners, but it was not entirely made in the West. The owner of this collection is from Country M, and he personally designed this golden eagle, but the craftsmanship was done by Qing dynasty artisans. In other words, judging from its age, it should belong to the Qing dynasty."
Gu Mei let out a sigh of relief when she heard this. Her judgment had been correct, and after considering all the characteristics, it was indeed from the Qing dynasty. She had clearly written that in her answer.
Next, about the casting technique of the eagle body, and the carving technology of the white jade eagle head, etc., Mr. Xue gave a detailed explanation one by one. The more Gu Mingyue listened, the happier she became, and she basically answered the few points that Lao said.
There are also many people who secretly rejoice in their hearts. After all, what Xue Lao is saying now is basically solid, with a good foundation, and those with more practical experience can still answer quite a few questions.
Unexpectedly, it was Bill Green. As a foreigner, he had a good understanding of oriental antiques. Whether it was the casting technique of the eagle body or the carving technique of the eagle head, he answered them all perfectly, not inferior to the oriental contestants at all.
The final match, from the draw, was favorable to Western participants. After all, this golden eagle is a Western antique. However, after identification, it turned out that Eastern participants were at an advantage. Except for its appearance, this golden eagle was basically made using ancient Eastern techniques.
Xue Lao said as much. The scores of each group on the big screen began to appear, and as long as they answered correctly, even if it was just a little bit, they would be given points according to their degree of correctness. As for those who didn't answer, naturally no points were added. There wasn't a situation where points were deducted either, which also saved everyone's face.
Here is the translation:
With this, the scores of each group have changed slightly again. Bill Green's team continues to hold first place, while the second place has changed. Gu Ming and Qin Sheng's team and Xia Jun and Wang Juan's team continue to be tied for second place, while the team that was previously tied with them for second place lost points and fell behind.
The three teams that are currently ranked first and tied for second have become the focus of everyone's attention, and if nothing unexpected happens, the champion will be one of these three teams.
Xue Lao didn't indicate that he had finished explaining, so the others continued to wait patiently for the rest of the answer. (Cotton Candy)
Xue Lao's face was stern as he slowly scanned the 8 teams not far away, focusing on the 3 teams that were likely to win first place.
Wang Juan was no longer concerned about her dissatisfaction with Gu Mian, who had tied for second place again. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and stared at Old Xue on the stage with a hint of tension.
Xia Jun looked calm on the surface, but somehow seemed too calm, giving people a sense of discord.
"What I just said are all superficial and easy to see, what I'm going to say next is about the body and head of this golden eagle." Xue Lao paused for a moment, then continued: "The original head of the eagle was damaged due to some reasons, and the head of this golden eagle was actually replaced later. Only one team among all the people answered this point correctly."
As soon as Xue Lao's voice fell, the score changed immediately. He said that only one team answered correctly, of course referring to Gu Qing and Qin Sheng's team.
At this moment, Gu Ming and Qin Sheng were tied for first place with Bill Green's team, while Xia Jun and Wang Juan's team ranked second alone.
Faced with this change, a trace of discomfort flashed across Wang Juan's face, but it was quickly covered up by her. Bill Green turned his head to glance at Gu Mian and Qin Sheng, then silently turned his head back around.
Gu Meng took a deep breath, feeling her heart beating faster and faster. Now tied for first place, whether or not she could become the true champion would depend on what happened next.
Qin Sheng seemed to have sensed Gu Mian's change, and subtly leaned in a bit closer to Gu Mian. This subtle movement of his did not attract much attention from others, but Tang Ming, who had been paying close attention to Gu Mian and Qin Sheng from the audience seat, noticed it.
A faint hum issued from Tang Ming's nose, which even Robert sitting next to him did not hear.
"The eagle head and body were not made in the same period, and the craftsmen who made them were also very different. The eagle head used high relief technology, which was more popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Upon close observation, it can be seen that this high relief should have been carved by a Qing dynasty craftsman, but it has some subtle differences from the usual high relief techniques."
Xue Lao paused again before continuing: "This eagle head was actually carved by a foreigner, not a traditional Qing dynasty craftsman. In your answers, someone mentioned this point, saying that it combined Chinese and Western carving techniques, but one team clearly pointed out that the eagle head was carved by a foreigner."
Qin Sheng's eyebrows slightly raised as he listened to this point, and he glanced at Gu Mian beside him.
The score on the big screen changed again, and team No. 8 jumped to first place, Bill Green's team second, and Wang Juan and Xia Jun's team third.
Xue Lao's explanation ended, and the large screen automatically added the total score of each participating team. Gu Xiang and Qin Sheng's No. 8 team ranked first, while Bill Green's team became second with a slight difference, and Xia Jun and Wang Juan's team remained third.
He was really happy now, knowing that their team had won first place, and couldn't help but turn around and grab Qin Sheng's hand: "We're first, we're first!"
Qin Sheng looked at Gu Mian, whose face rarely showed such excitement, and his expression softened instantly. A smile also appeared in his eyes as he said softly, "We won."
Professor Wang, at the moment he saw the final result, had to make a great effort not to jump up from his seat. Excitedly, he couldn't help but slap Mr. Qiao's shoulder heavily and said with an undisguised triumphant smile: "See? Gu Mian won!"
"Congratulations, this time Gu Zhen has really given you face." At this moment, Mr. Qiao naturally wouldn't be the one to pour cold water on it, and he congratulated Professor Wang with a smile.
"Gu Meng has always given me face!" Professor Wang was overjoyed, and he wished that everyone knew that the team that got first place had one of his students in it.
Those who knew Professor Wang were also tactful and began to congratulate Professor Wang one after another.
Although Wang Juan didn't get the first place, Professor He was still very sincere in expressing his happiness for Gu Mei's first place. As for Professor Guan, it's even more unnecessary to mention, the beauty in his heart can't be expressed in just a few words.
Among the top three, both the first and third places have their own people. In such a gathering, this honor is not something that can be easily obtained.
He had already thought of it, after this exchange meeting ended and went back, the people above would definitely be satisfied with their performance this time.
"Congratulations, you guys are great!" Bill Green said in fairly standard Chinese to Gu Mian and Qin Sheng.
Although their team narrowly missed out on first place, his congratulations were genuinely sincere.
"Mr. Green, you're also great, your knowledge of Oriental antiques is really deep. To be honest, if the project we drew this time wasn't Golden Eagle, first place wouldn't necessarily be ours." Gu Ming shook hands with Bill Green in a friendly manner.
"I've always been fascinated by Eastern culture and antiques, so my research focus has also leaned towards the East. Even if I didn't draw the Golden Eagle this time, I don't know what the outcome would be. Miss Gu and Mr. Qin are both capable individuals, and sometimes luck is also a kind of capability." Bill Green thought for a moment before continuing: "May I ask presumptuously, Miss Gu, how did you determine that the eagle head was actually carved by foreign craftsmen rather than your country's craftsmen?"
