Chapter 242: Unprecedented! (Monthly Ticket Request!!!)

Zhou Yue was also quite surprised to see the improvement of the account.

“I didn’t expect that Senior Deng actually brought traffic to this account.”

It was not a very popular short video, just a little interesting.

But now?

It seems that these college students quite like watching it.

That's enough.

Fun, a little academic, and constant logical reasoning make up this short video. In just three minutes, it actually contains quite a lot of information.

"Okay, the traffic is pretty good now." Zhou Yue saw that in just two days, the traffic had reached 600,000 views.

The number of likes has reached as many as 30,000.

It’s actually quite good.

At least, it's a good start.

The account already has 50,000 followers, most of whom are promoted by Deng Yuanhang.

This account was created by their laboratory.

Of course, there are only two or three cats in their laboratory now.

He and two other undergraduate students from Ningbo University came to do odd jobs for him. All of them were admitted to graduate school in the School of Arts, under the subject of philology, and were assigned to him by Dean Chen.

He would not treat them unfairly and was giving them guidance on their thesis writing.

Anyway, he only has two places for graduate students.

I don't usually pay too much attention to them.

However, if they want to learn and want to study ancient characters in depth, then after following him for three years, he will definitely be able to train these master's students into experts in ancient characters.

If they can just get by, then at least he will ensure that they have enough high-level papers if they want to apply for a doctorate.

All in all, he doesn't force it, it's up to them.

In the end, their work will not be in vain.

The short video created in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts is not for profit.

There was someone at the Academy of Fine Arts who wanted to do him a favor.

This is their creative mode.

He taught two graduate students.

Then the graduate students write the copy based on the course.

Finally, we took it to the Academy of Fine Arts for joint creation.

This model can not only improve their level, but also ensure the operation of the account.

After one semester's course, they may be able to recognize all the ancient characters they can.

To this end, he also plans to compile a textbook.

After all, he has the resources of Jinghua Publishing House, so it is very easy to publish a book.

However, he planned to let the school's publishing house publish it. After all, he was not familiar with the review of ancient Chinese characters in Jinghua. It would be the same to use the publishing house near Ningda.

I can use the convenience of my position to simply urge them to do something.

Moreover, Ningda’s level of ancient Chinese characters is not bad either.

So his schedule is still very full now.

He would even give some design guidance to his masters and doctoral students. After all, he asked his people and the students of Tianyue Class to participate in this design competition.

There is still about a week left in the design competition, and he has already received three thousand designs.

You know, some international design competitions are the kind that everyone participates in, and the maximum number of entries is only more than 5,000. Here, only college students are participating, and the number of contestants has reached 3,000. There is still more than a week left, so even breaking 5,000 is not a problem.

It is completely comparable to top international competitions.

Moreover, almost all world-class universities participate, and almost all students from places with architecture departments will submit papers.

After all, the rewards for this event are still very tempting.

The first prize is a million-dollar bonus, plus a place in a top international university such as Beijing University.

Even though I know I may not win, the important thing is to participate.

They are still very enthusiastic.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is almost a competition mode.

Even the other judges were shocked.

There were many sighs in the group.

"It's an unprecedented event. I saw several works that are worthy of the special prize. They are almost as good as Dr. Dong's works. They are of different styles, but they are all very praiseworthy."

"Yes, the most commendable thing is that all the universities seem to be trying their best to design the best works. This may be the flourishing of the design circle. I have seen some universities in Europe and even America. They have reconstructed their own artistic styles and designed works that are very creative."

“This is just a small public library design, but it allows everyone to express their own ideas. This may be the meaning of design.”

"Not only that, I even saw some high school students participating, as well as some design enthusiasts. Although their works are not so amazing, some of them are definitely good. Unfortunately, these people do not meet the requirements for the competition."

"Everyone, please give your scores carefully. I think the difference in scores may not be that big in the end. It all depends on your eye for the best. Only if you satisfy all the judges can you stand out in the end."

“The charm of design may have been embodied at this moment. I even feel that the creations of these college students are really imaginative and full of vitality. This competition should continue.”

"I think the Tianyue Cup award ceremony this time can be more grand. After all, this may be a grand event in architecture in the future."

"..."

Zhou Yue also saw these comments.

I feel a little emotional. It is really hard to tell whether a design is good or bad, especially when they are of the same level but different styles.

That might require some luck.

Fortunately, the judges he invited are all world-renowned architects who are proficient in various design styles.

For example, Professor Nakajima Yu from the University of Tokyo and Professor Chris from Imperial College London.

These people are well versed in various styles of design.

Therefore, even in a public and anonymous situation, everyone has their own judgment.

After all, at their level, they can tell the good things at a glance.

It’s just a matter of who gets the reward and who is a little less lucky.

"I feel like if this continues, there might be some debate when the awards are given."

"But it doesn't matter. The purpose of awarding an award is to allow for a hundred schools of thought to contend and for everyone to express their own opinions."

The prize money is high and the influence is great, covering major universities in countries all over the world. It is also authoritative enough to invite the world's top architectural designers to serve as judges. Some of these designers even come from small countries but are extremely famous.

Their conflict of interest is not that big, and Zhou Yue hopes they will focus on the design itself.

Zhou Yue has the final say.

If such design competitions continue to be held, their influence may become greater and greater.

Of course, the first batch of designs must be evaluated.

By then, the drawings that are made public must be world-class.

Otherwise, it may cause a certain blow to the influence.
