Reborn in the 1980s, Farming and Making a Fortune

Chapter 142
The training teacher in the afternoon was someone else. After lunch, Tang Gumeng separated from Wen Yun, and sat in the training room again. Tang Gumeng saw Xia Jinnan sitting in the seat he had sat in the morning.

He paused, frowned, changed direction, and found another seat to sit down.

Tang Gumeng lay down and prepared to rest for a while.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt movement around him, and turned his head to look, Xia Jinnan's face was facing him.

"Are you avoiding me?"

Thinking of Xia Jinnan's cold voice, Tang Gumeng was a little upset.

"Why should I hide from you?"

Xia Jinnan paused and replied, "Who knows why you are hiding from me?"

Tang Gumeng lowered his head, lying on his stomach and preparing to continue sleeping.

Xia Jinnan's voice sounded again: "Didn't you come from the countryside?"

"Yes, are the rural people hindering you?"

Xia Jinnan: "How can you know Professor Wen from a rural area?"

Tang Gumeng understood the reason for Xia Jinnan's abnormality: "Is there a possibility that Professor Wen is also from the countryside."

Xia Jinnan has always looked down on the country people. When Tang Gumeng said this, Xia Jinnan was a little weaker towards Professor Wen, but he quickly returned to his rationale: "Professor Wen is a person who has been abroad. Which rural family has money and can send it to you?" The child goes abroad."

What Xia Jinnan said is right. Whether it is now or in future generations, it is difficult for rural families to support the cost of a child going abroad.

However, Xia Jinnan's blatantly contemptuous attitude made Tang Gumeng a little upset: "Counting up to five generations, who's family is not mud-legged, your family is exceptionally noble."

Xia Jinnan dared not say this.

Seeing that Xia Jinnan had nothing to say, Tang Gumeng snorted coldly: "If you don't have the status of a prince and nobleman, don't always act like you are superior. Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog."

It was the first time Xia Jinnan was humiliated like this, and he clenched his back molars angrily.

The ears became quiet, and Tang Gumeng dozed off contentedly.

When he opened his eyes again, Tang Gumeng was woken up by Luo Yuan. When he opened his eyes, he found that there were people in the seat beside him, so he sat up straight immediately.

Seeing Tang Gumeng wake up, Luo Yuan carefully reminded: "These people are all sitting together for you."

Tang Gumeng squinted at the past, and sure enough, he saw several faces facing him, and the moment their eyes met, he nodded and smiled.

The teacher who taught in the afternoon was surnamed Qin, an old man who spoke very interestingly. When Tang Gumeng was listening vigorously, the old man called him by name.

"Which classmate is Tang Gumeng, stand up and let me get to know each other."

After a whole morning, almost everyone who participated in the training camp knew who Tang Gumeng was. Hearing the teacher's question, they all turned their heads to look at Tang Gumeng.

Tang Gumeng stood up under the eyes of everyone.

"She is a girl with aura. Tang Gumeng is the youngest among our participants in this competition."

"However, her design is the one with the most stories. If I only look at the works, I think she is a person who has gone through vicissitudes!"

Teacher Qin made no secret of his love for Tang Gumeng.

Tang Gumeng stood a little embarrassed.

Others have their own ideas.

The afternoon class was supposed to explain the entries, and let everyone see their own problems by evaluating the entries.

Teacher Qin quickly found Tang Gumeng's works: "Why don't you come up and talk about your design ideas?"

Teacher Qin looked at Tang Gumeng encouragingly, Tang Gumeng was not timid, and walked up generously.

After pasting his design drawing on the wall, Tang Gu Mengwan said: "The theme of the preliminary competition is gradient. As a series of clothing design, there are two ways to reflect the gradient from the appearance, one is the gradient of color, One is the gradation of style."

"I have nine works this time, and each piece of clothing represents an age group. The main meaning is to represent the life changes of different age groups, so I combined the two."

"Each age has certain colors that best represent the psychology of its age group."

"When we were young, our minds were pure, light blue, like a sky with only one or two clouds after the rain, fresh and without a trace of variegation."

"The blue dress in spring, decorated with white, is the pure sky, flawless, and the first one represents us in childhood."

"We are full of vitality when we are young. Green is an exuberant color, and it can better represent us at this stage, full of vitality. So I used green as the main color, in order to highlight the theme of gradual change and express the difference of youth. I also used gradient colors throughout the outfit.”

……

"White, we generally understand it as blank. I use it to represent the old age. Many people think that we are in our twilight years, because after a lifetime of accumulation, there are some thicknesses that cannot be compared with other ages. But I don't think it is, it is the experience For a lifetime, we will be more peaceful at this moment. Everything returns to nature, it seems empty, and it contains everything. Elegance in white, noble and noble, is the concept of this dress."

"Because the clothes in the whole series are in various colors, the main structure is similar in terms of tailoring, and only elements are added in the series. For example, puffy sleeves have always been called princess sleeves in the West, which also represents every girl. The princess dream of childhood."

"For example, this peony-shaped waist decoration, peony is the national flower, complete, auspicious, happy, noble, is our best hope for life."

……

After Tang Gumeng finished his ideas, the audience thought of applause.

After she returned to her seat, Teacher Qin continued to speak: "In this class, I planned to use the examples of two students as an example to explain, but after thinking about it, if I, an outsider, may only see this design. The tip of the iceberg, only the designer understands his own thoughts. I think Comrade Tang Gumeng’s explanation has given everyone a different understanding of this design. Let’s talk about our own opinions.”

Soon, someone spoke.

"My family is from Porcelain City. When I first saw this topic, I thought of the appearance of blue and white porcelain, so I designed a series of clothing based on blue and white porcelain as a whole. Comrade Tang Gumeng's design made me see my limitations. Sex, clothes are synonymous with a person, and naturally they can also be synonymous with a lifetime, I think clothing can be given a far-reaching meaning.”

"Comrade Tang Gumeng's design concept is very good, but after reading all the design drawings, I feel that it is a bit complicated. So many colors, so many styles, mixed together, or series? I remember that the teacher emphasized one point in class. , The theme is the core of clothing, and the most taboo thing about clothing design is the accumulation of elements, which weakens the core, and the gains will outweigh the losses.”

"I have seen a lot of fashion shows before. I think Comrade Tang Gumeng's clothing is too simple. We design clothing and do the most cutting-edge design, but I took a look. Comrade Tang Gumeng's sketches are all daily. The accumulation of elements, I can’t understand such a work, why let the teacher take it out alone. Except for the outstanding design concept, I can’t see the place to learn.”

……

There were nearly 20 people who participated in the training today, and almost everyone expressed their opinions. Most of them expressed doubts about Tang Gumeng being favored by the teacher. Coupled with the relationship between Tang Gumeng and Wen Yun in the morning, almost everyone present guessed that she left back door.

Xia Jinnan looked at everything coldly, and waited until everyone had finished speaking before he said: "Comrade Tang Gumeng is only 17 years old this year. At her age, everyone still didn't understand anything. Now that you can design this series of clothes, She is already ahead of most of the people. Regardless of whether she has something to learn, everyone should encourage her. As long as she accepts systematic learning, it is certain that Comrade Tang Gumeng will become a new star in the fashion design industry in the near future."

Xia Jinnan had the right to speak among the crowd. When she opened her mouth like this, it sounded like she was speaking for Tang Gumeng. She asked everyone to treat this issue with tolerance, but after careful consideration, she still felt that Tang Gumeng was not worthy of a high score.

Teacher Qin listened to everyone's discussion, stroked his few beards, and nodded repeatedly.

"First of all, we are participating in a competition this time, and the competition will have different dimensions. Comrade Tang Gumeng's most prominent is the concept, so I will take it out as a comment. Secondly, many people just said the elements, and the elements are fixed. However, the form of expression is not fixed. Many times, in order to avoid type collisions, many people will work hard in this area, but can the expression that is too novel really express the elements? Although the elements used by Comrade Tang Gumeng are very common Yes, but every use can be perfectly integrated with the concept, in my opinion, it is a perfect design.”

"We should look at every work with a critical eye, learn from its strengths, and learn from its weaknesses. This is also the purpose of my sharing, so thank you for your evaluation, and hope to gain something."

In a simple sentence, Teacher Qin put away Tang Gumeng's work, and quickly opened another set of design drawings: "Who is Xia Jinnan? This series of works is also the best in this competition. Let me tell you about your ideas." .”

Xia Jinnan walked up to the stage, and when he passed Tang Gumeng's place, he snorted coldly, a wave of hostility that even Luo Yuan who was sitting outside Tang Gumeng felt clearly.

Luo Yuan leaned over and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Xia Jinnan?"

Tang Gumeng focused on Xia Jinnan's artwork, and replied casually: "It doesn't count, it's just that the strong were not convinced by each other before."

Luo Yuan smiled: "You are welcome, and you call yourself a strong man. However, Xia Jinnan is really talented in this respect. He has participated in several international competitions, won awards twice, and accepted Professor Wen's instruction can be regarded as half of Professor Wen's student."

Tang Gumeng turned to look at Luo Yuan: "You are very familiar with this circle, you know this little thing."

Luo Yuan looked at the sky speechlessly: "Before Xia Jinnan used Teacher Wen's students as a cover for publicity, many people in the circle looked up to her because of this name. It was also because Teacher Wen publicly announced that he had never been a student alone. Then I changed my name and said it belonged to half of the students."

Tang Gumeng understood it, and suddenly understood why Xia Jinnan's attitude towards him changed from a little contemptuous to a complete contempt, and even regarded him as an enemy in one morning.

Although I am not a student of Disciple Wen, but seeing people who are unhappy with me is unhappy, I feel quite happy, and my mood improves. Tang Gumeng looks at Xia Jinnan's works again, and his mood is different.

"This series of mine is mainly to highlight the changes in my mood this year. Purple is my lucky color, so my works use purple as the main color,"

Xia Jinnan started to speak on the stage, Luo Yuan stopped talking and began to listen carefully.

"Four seasons, 360 days and five days, I have experienced many things in these 300 days. There are joys, setbacks, successes, and confusion. I think I have a little experience in the fashion design industry. Small achievements, so a year ago, in the praise of everyone, I was full of self-confidence and publicity, which is my characteristic, so I chose bright purple for my first dress. Embroidery elements were added to the whole dress, The dark purple pattern makes the whole dress more colorful."

"In the next competition, I encountered the first Waterloo in my life. The clothes I designed didn't even have a chance to enter the finals. I felt the blow for the first time. In the next month, I began to doubt myself. Without the ability to design, the dull purple has a dark feeling, which symbolizes my gloomy mood at that time, with confusion about the future and thinking about the past. Gloomy but also longing for hope."

……

"This last piece of clothing was designed by a burst of inspiration two days before the submission of the competition. At that time, the original design draft had been sealed and was waiting to be sent out. But thinking back on the entire design process, I suddenly I found that I no longer have the utilitarianism I used to think about clothes, but more about thinking about beauty and life. So in the finale, I chose the most common colors and used special tailoring techniques. It expresses my state of mind, that is An Ran after being cleansed."

After Xia Jinnan finished her introduction, she stepped off the stage. With her usual attitude, it was hard for Tang Gumeng to imagine that she had experienced darkness.

Teacher Qin also commented: "I haven't met Comrade Xia Jinnan before, but I am very familiar with the name Xia Jinnan. The design of this suit is her stable performance, and it is completely different from the public. From outstanding to ordinary, I, an old man, can feel her mood."

Compared with Tang Gumeng's mixed praise and criticism, everyone in the audience applauded Xia Jinnan's works uniformly.

This made Tang Gumeng can't help raising his fighting spirit. In this competition, he must come out on top.

When Tang Gumeng made up his mind, he didn't know that Xia Jinnan behind him had the same idea.It was the first time someone could be compared to him, Xia Jiannan also wanted to take this opportunity to let Tang Gumeng know what strength is.

The two secretly competed, and unknowingly started a new arena.
