Whether a thing is worth a lot depends on hype.

For example, tulips that were once more expensive than gold in Western countries, Clivia that were once hyped in China, and... diamonds that are still dysfunctional.

Yes, Diamond!

Diamonds are neither rare nor rare, nor precious, but... they are so expensive.

How did it become valuable?

When you take out a diamond company, you buy it for a high price. When you take out a diamond, you buy it for a high price. When you take out a diamond, you buy it for a high price. You buy it for a long time.

When the others saw it, darn! Diamonds are so valuable? So diamonds are valuable.

When Lu Li saw the quotation for this sculpture, he thought about it for a moment and understood this truth.

Isn’t this how the value of art comes from?

A calligraphy and painting was sold for millions or even tens of millions. Then, this calligraphy and painting was worth so much money.

A few days later, the election time was held by the Xichuan Provincial Government.

Early in the morning, Lu Li and Manager Wu got on an Audi car and rushed to the airport.

The air ticket was booked by the Xichuan Provincial Government. Lu Li only needs to swipe his ID card at the airport to change his boarding pass directly.

When he entered the airport, Lu Li accidentally discovered that Manager Wu was actually walking with him.

"Manager Wu, are you going to Xichuan too?"

Lu Li turned his head and asked Manager Wu.

"Yes! Go ahead and call the front station in advance!"

Manager Wu smiled and replied, "Once your work is passed, we need to operate the bidding."

"Just after the election? Isn't it necessary to make an announcement online?"

Lu Li was a little surprised. The second step was the second step. Doesn’t the final result depend on the results of the people’s voting online?

"You mean online voting?"

Manager Wu smiled and said, "Aren't online voting all used? How can there be fair and just online voting? In fact, the result of the election is the final result."

Well, I was speechless!

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders.

Online voting... There is only one word, it is brushing!

Pure spontaneous voting, with the participation of domestic people, almost few people will vote.

The final result is the election, and online voting is just about watching the excitement.

This situation is not unexpected.

Since the final result is the election, I have to be more serious.

Lu Li reviewed the overall design process in his mind, began to organize the language, and carefully prepared a commentary speech.

A few hours later, the plane landed at Chengdu Airport.

"Teacher Lu, welcome to Rongcheng!"

Xiao Wang from the Provincial Government Office is a girl in her twenties. Seeing Lu Li, a young and handsome "Teacher Lu", who was less than 20 years old, Xiao Wang was slightly stunned.

It turns out that Teacher Lu is so young! Although she knows that Lu Li is a college student, Xiao Wang always thought that Lu Li is a graduate student and doctoral student!

"My hometown is also from Xichuan!"

Lu Li smiled at Xiao Wang, "He is from Yucheng, Xichuan."

"Wow! It turns out that Teacher Lu is a talented man from our Xichuan!"

Xiao Wang sighed with a smile, then reached out to Lu Li and Manager Wu, "Come on, two, please get in the car."

Then, the provincial government's reception car carried Lu Li and Manager Wu, drove all the way into the Chengdu urban area and arrived at a big hotel near Xichuan Art Center.

"Teacher Lu, you two are resting here for the time being. In the evening, Director Gao of our Provincial Government Office is preparing to welcome everyone."

After arranging the room for Lu Li and Manager Wu, Xiao Wang then left politely.

What an expert treatment!

Lu Li smiled. My calligraphy and paintings are all expert, and I have some confidence to say that I am an expert.

That night, Lu Li attended a welcoming banquet held by the provincial government office.

Manager Wu didn't know where he went, and Lu Li didn't see anyone during dinner.

At the welcoming banquet, Lu Li also saw his competitors. Not surprisingly, all of these shortlisted works came from top domestic art schools.

More than 300 submissions were submitted and twenty shortlisted works were selected. There is no shortage of top ten art schools in China, and the rest are also some famous schools.

Lu Li also found that other selected works are team works. One professor leads and a group of graduate students assisted in completing them.

Only Lu Li's works were created entirely by him.

At this time, Lu Li finally understood why there were high design fees and profit distribution. Because... they were all team works.

This money seems to be quite large, but after it is distributed, it will not be much in everyone's hands.

I actually completed the workload of a team by myself!

Lu Li smiled and shook his head. No wonder Mr. Han was stunned for a long time when he saw my work.

So... I'm so awesome!

After the enthusiastic speech by Director Gao of the Provincial Government, the dinner finally began.

"Brother, from the central government?"

A long-haired boy sitting next to Lu Li picked up his cup and signaled to Lu Li, "You are the only one? It's true that he is the Central/Central/Big/Master, so awesome!"

The so-called "central" refers to the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

"A soldier can only follow the baton."

Lu Li smiled and asked the long-haired boy with an artist-like temperament: "Where are you? Where are you?"

"Oh, we... national!"

The long-haired boy shook the ponytail behind his head and replied with a smile.

This sentence "national" refers to the National Academy of Fine Arts located next to West Lake.

"You are either the central government or the national government, and you are all big shots!"

A girl opposite smiled and took over the conversation, "We are so small, we can't compare with you big guys!"

Speaking of this, the girl smiled and said, "However, tomorrow's re-election is not about the name, but about strength. You central and national affairs should not be compared by our small places."

"Oh? This classmate seems to be very confident!"

The long-haired boy shook his ponytail again and asked, "Where are girls from small places?"

"From Zhoujiazhuang!"

The girl grinned.

Zhoujiazhuang?

The ponytail man was stunned and confused. Where did Zhoujiazhuang come from? What does it mean?

Lu Li glanced at the girl opposite and smiled, "Since Zhou Shu is from, what does it have to do with Lu Xun?"

Well, the so-called Zhoujiazhuang is Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. You, a girl from the three northeastern provinces, are a bit naughty!

"So it's from Luyuan!"

The ponytail man smiled, "Lu Xun Academy of Literature is very awesome, the Academy of Fine Arts... Then hehe!"

"Yo? Are you leading a war?"

Several students from Lu Academy opposite were a little ready to go.

"I'm passing by, I'm eating melons, you can do whatever you want!"

Lu Li quickly made his position. I'll eat melons and watch the show, and you can play slowly.

A non-harmonious dinner was finally over at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.

The next morning, the election team from major universities across the country gathered at the Xichuan Art Center.

First, draw lots in groups and draw the order of elections. Then, according to the order of elections, go to the review room one by one, display the works to the provincial government leaders and judges, and explain the design ideas.

The lottery that Lu Li drew was "6".

666! This already indicates that I will win!

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Li's mouth.

Lu Academy's works ranked third, while National Academy of Fine Arts ranked tenth. Lu Li did not pay attention to other colleges.

The review time for each candidate's work is only twenty minutes. It is necessary to demonstrate the characteristics and highlights of the work and answer the review questions, which also tests a person's ability.
