The rich man and the poor man

"The last minute!"

On the field, the clock was ticking, and Zhu Su's voice penetrated the entire hall.

"It's not finished yet, it's the last chance to race against time-be careful with the bottle, don't spill things at the last minute!"

The crow's mouth immediately saw results, and as soon as the words came out, the high-heeled grandma made an "ah" and fell to something. At the same time, other contestants began to rush into various situations.

Zhu Su: "Is it that the temperature hasn't cooled yet? Is there any one that has been over-cooled in the refrigerator? Before the end of the competition, the work must be restored to a constant temperature. Be careful!"

As he said that, he began to run for a long time again, with a large number of cameras behind him chasing him, live broadcasting his final comments and inventory of all the contestants' works.

"Miss Fu Yao's tactic is to challenge herself and experiment with the highly difficult 'male fragrance to female fragrance'. The finished product looks good-but the final taste will only be known later. It is either a big success or a big success." Disaster ~ let's wait and see."

"Hey, the sky, the layered colors are so beautiful! If the fragrance can be as good as it looks, it should be a perfect product."

"Grandma, today's theme is 'wine', right? Your aroma is so sweet, could it be rice wine? Ahaha, but I don't care if I say it alone, maybe other judges will like it?"

"Hey, Ms. Chi is very courageous! Re-engraved my 'Wine of Death'? Are you afraid of being poisoned?"

……

Zhu Su made jokes and explained, which attracted the focus of the audience and the camera, and Yi Changqing was left alone for the time being.

"I thought it would be a good story worth telling."

He was happy to be at leisure, and finally he could say something that he couldn't say in front of the camera.The voice is not loud, but the sense of contempt is quite heavy.

"Ordinary, unintentional, and rotten routines, I have the face to talk about it for so long on the show."

Before Han Fu approached him, he quietly took a look at Pei Zhen.Fortunately, Pei Zhen and Yu Wenzhe were whispering something, their eyes followed Zhu Su closely, and they didn't pay attention to this side.

"It's indeed a very common story." Han Fu admitted with a smile.

"Ordinary meeting, dating, and getting along well, it's really not like some 'stories' start like the first episode of an idol drama. However, I still like ordinary days, and all ordinary days after that , will cherish him, love him, and try to treat him well, definitely not like 'someone'."

Yi Changqing seemed to have been stabbed by something, the corners of his lips twitched nervously, and a look of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

"What happened in other people's 'stories', some things, he may not tell you."

"Oh, that's really embarrassing."

Han Fu was fearless: "My baby loves me so much, she told me everything a long time ago."

If there is no one around at the moment, with Yi Changqing's expression, I am afraid that there is no guarantee what will happen in the next second.

But after all, it was a big audience, so Han Fu remained calm.

...Provoking each other is a matter of whoever gets angry first gets weaker.And Yi Changqing's reaction once again confirmed his long-awaited prediction—"coldness" and "indifference" are really nothing but artificial settings and disguises.

After tearing off the mask, tsk.

"Teacher Changqing~ You should also make predictions for the audience! Who do you think has a better chance of winning this round?"

Zhu Su suddenly rushed over cheerfully from the side, interrupting the turbulence in the air.

Yi Changqing was dragged out of the country in the same frame, and she had to turn from a dark face into a normal person, Han Fu felt embarrassed for him watching those few seconds of hard work.

"Her."

The camera follows Yi Changqing's line of sight and captures the completed work of "Male Fragrance Transformed into Female Fragrance" on Fu Yao's desk

Zhu Su continued to ask with staring eyes: "Then, what does Zhenyi think?"

Ye Zhenyi: "Huh? But this time I already have a personal preference. Han Fu made my favorite 'Chocolate Wine'. I can no longer love others."

Zhu Su: "Oh oh oh? Lao Xia (Ye Zhenyi's husband) has a rival in love?"

Ye Zhenyi: "No! Of course I mean..."

There are still 2 minutes, and the end of a round of competition is coming to an end.Except for one or two players who are still in a hurry, most of the players have finished their work.

Han Fu quietly turned around and glanced around, and the works in the bottles of his opponents looked pretty good, even Fat Brother, Yi Changkong and a few others made attractive gradient colors.

Lowering his head, he looked nervously at his incense again.

Pei's "wine chocolate", but it should have been as bright and beautiful golden as ice wine.

But he made it whiter and more transparent, and the taste could only be imitated even though he tried his best.On the whole, it is still lacking a lot compared to the original.

Even so, Ye Zhenyi still has eyes for him.

So in Ye Zhenyi's eyes, how high should the meticulous original work be?

Han Fu clearly remembered that Pei Zhen had told him the night before that he should accept the opinions of the judges of the PA competition with an open mind, but he could not listen to them all.

At least, don't listen to Yi Changqing's opinion.

And Zhu Su's natural aesthetics are slightly different from ordinary people, otherwise she would not be jokingly called "perfume is poisonous" every day.But whoever makes the parents handsome, "Brother Poisonous Grass" is cute, the fan economy is extremely strong, and the perfume sells well, the status in the industry will follow.

Among the three, the only one recognized as superior was the "Perfume Queen" Ye Zhenyi.

Pei Zhen said that Ye Zhenyi's opinion should be relatively in line with the industry's authoritative and pertinent evaluation - the works that she said were good at the time would become popular in the future, and the works that she didn't like probably couldn't stand the test of time.

……

When the competition time is over, all contestants leave the incense mixing table according to the regulations, and are not allowed to touch the works again.

Next, ten senior judges in the industry will anonymously score all the perfume works of the contestants. There will be ten judges in each round, and each judge will score 10 points. The results will be listed on the big screen at the back door of the studio on the spot.

Taking "wine" as the theme, the contestants have already demonstrated their abilities.

Some of the submitted works have received a lot of praise and recognition, while others have been denied and questioned a series of times, and some have even been controversial.But regardless of whether it is a work with a high score or a low score, it has received a lot of pertinent comments and pointed out deficiencies.

"Creativity is very bold" "The color is too heavy to stain the clothes" "Not soft enough" "The taste is not balanced" "The distillation time is too long" "The theme of 'wine' is not highlighted"...

Han Fu carefully observed each fragrance from the sidelines.

The judges' opinions were also listened to very carefully and taken as a warning.

Since about a few years ago, he has mastered the skill of "learning from other people's mistakes" with great proficiency.

This is a "survival skill" that he believes must be mastered-after all, he is still very young and at the age of "fallible".

However, the opportunity for him to make mistakes.

In Pei Zhen's case, if he didn't do well enough, it would be too easy to get knocked out, and he wanted to stay by his side more than anything else.

not to mention.

It is enough for a person to make one unforgivable mistake in his life.

……

Han Fu's fragrance is evaluated at the bottom of the list.

He was a bit nervous, but seeing the expressions of the judges go from expressionless to slightly surprised, then look at each other, nod, smile and discuss, it gave him a lot of confidence.

"Overall, it's a very touching taste."

"Sweet with a bit of bitterness at the same time, the front, middle and back notes are distinct, as if patiently telling a complete story step by step, which fits the theme of 'Chocolate with Liquor' very well."

"Of course, if some of the raw materials can be refined in your own way, it may have a more personalized 'charm', but it is already very mature to be able to prepare such a finished product with simple raw materials."

"Wouldn't say it's 'perfect,' but the rhythm and balance of the aroma are of a pretty high standard."

"There is a fly in the ointment, if you can pay more attention to the control of appearance and color like some other players..."

Han Fu lowered his head and did not raise his eyes to look at Pei Zhen.

Ordinarily, getting a compliment means that he is doing well, and Zhenzhen should also be satisfied with his performance.

He should have blinked at him happily and triumphantly, not so disappointedly.

But I really feel very uncomfortable - the judges said that this work is not "perfect", but in fact Pei Zhen's work is very perfect.The judges said that the color control was not in place, but the original "wine chocolate" was so bright and beautiful.

They praise a shabby remake by a novice perfumer.

Didn't get a chance to really appreciate that piece and see how good it really is.No one will know how talented its real owner is.

The scores came out one by one.

On the big screen, 9 points, 9.1 points, 9.3 points... There are already five or six scores that burst out, all of which are above 9 points.

None of the previous players got such a high score.Han Fu is the only one who has scored 9+ points in more than half of the games.

At this moment, the audience can't actually smell the work.

But this does not affect them to intuitively estimate the player's strength through the high scores scored by the entire row of judges on the screen, and then follow the sixth 9+ and the seventh 9+, and start to be enthusiastic, excited, and looking forward to it.

The eighth... 9+, the ninth is still 9+, and the entire auditorium began to stir.

Tenth, tenth...

The last score finally jumped out, a red, abrupt, eye-catching "3".

After a series of 9+, such a score suddenly appeared, and the whole audience was stunned, and then there was an uproar.

Ratings are anonymous, no one knows who gave that 3.

The chief director was almost insane, he yelled at the assistant next to him, telling him to hurry up and make sure if he made a mistake.After dozens of seconds of confusion, the assistant ran out shaking his head. Judging by the meaning of body language, some judges really gave "3".

The chief director still didn't believe it, so he turned off the lights and started again, the last one was still "3", unchanged.

……

Pei Zhen felt that there was no need to guess who that strange flower was.

The ten judges, except for Zhu Su, Ye Zhenyi, and Yi Changqing, are all seniors over the age of 50 who are highly respected in the industry.And Zhu Su, who is the only one who may be "aesthetically distorted", will not be distorted into that kind of virtue.

The most direct evidence - he is really close to the judges' bench.

It is clear that when everyone else is puzzled by that "3" and whispering to each other, only Yi Changqing is alone. The hooked corners of the lips.

After the restlessness, the judges continued to score the works of other contestants.

There have always been several judges who gave stricter scores, but there has never been such a score fluctuation that is completely different from the normal value.

In the final ranking, Fu Yao temporarily ranked first with a total score of 89.5, Fat Brother ranked second with a difference of 0.1 points, and Han Fu was No.3 with a total score of 84.9.

If he wasn't held back by that Qingqi 3-pointer, he should be firmly number one this round.

"..." Han Fu himself felt indifferent.

The No.3 score is not very high, but it is definitely not bad.Moreover, according to the "principle of exempting the top three from elimination in the first round" of the PA competition system, no matter how good his incense in the second round is, today's elimination round can be guaranteed to be absolutely safe and will not be eliminated.

Short-term plan: Survive the first round of the knockout round safely.

The plan has been achieved √.

……

During the intermission, the audience was resting, but the contestants were being chased by hard-working camera buddies.

Especially Han Fu, the cameras almost poked him in the face, and the gossip live broadcast anchor kept asking him what he thought of that "3".

Han Fu begged to be let go, so he almost ignored his image and yelled directly to the live broadcast camera, "I'm in a hurry to pee, I need to drain the water".

After finally breaking out of the encirclement, he rushed to the corridor at the back door in a hurry, and was grabbed by the fat brother who had just "released the water".

"Hey, old Han, it just so happens that you come over to discuss it, what do you plan to do later?"

Han Fu: What are you talking about!

I don't have time to discuss with you!When he was squeezed just now, Yi Changqing seemed to wink at Pei Zhen, and then Pei Zhen followed him out, hurry up!

Fat Brother: "No, Lao Han, listen to me. Although we are second and third this time, and we can guarantee that we will not be eliminated in the next round, we must do our best! It is best to be together. Get into the top three and keep the points high so that if you accidentally stumble in the future, you will be saved."

As the fat man spoke, he shook the 1ml small glass tube in his hand.

In fact, Han Fu had just been handed a copy, which contained a sample of the last round's winner, Fu Yao's magically modified female fragrance.

After the half-hour rest time is over, the second round of "Zhenhua" is about to begin.

In the refinement stage, all contestants must take a unified test to reproduce the perfume of the winner of the first round, and must also carry out independent processing on the original basis.The requirement is to strive to be more harmonious and attractive than the original fragrance while retaining the characteristics of the original fragrance.

Fat Brother: "It's no wonder that in the first round, senior sister Fu Yao could reproduce the original work and pass the test easily, but she insisted on doing such a difficult magic modification! She had already thought about it, she went for No.1, and then They will kill us in the second round!"

"It is said to be 'masculine fragrance changed to female fragrance', but to put it bluntly, the senior sister made a 'own' fragrance on the spot."

"Such an unfamiliar Xinxiang, and I don't know what raw materials she used, it is difficult to reproduce it, let alone improve it! When she does it well alone, the rest of us will be suppressed super low."

"Han Fu! Han Fu, did you listen to me? Wake up, don't be dazzled by the short-term victory, this is in PA! It's all hard work to get here, we shoulder the burden, but still There is Lao Yu, and the hope of your Boss Pei!"

Han Fu: "..."

Yes, Fat Brother is right, he needs to wake up.

His attitude towards the competition was a bit "original". When he heard the title of the round was "wine", the only thought in his mind was, what would Zhenzhen like?I want to be someone who can please Zhenzhen.

But other contestants, such as Fu Yao, chose to plan step by step, take one step and watch three steps. If it wasn't for Fat Brother's kind words, he wouldn't be able to see it at all!

I hurriedly thanked the fat brother.

But now, his top priority is to find Pei Zhen first!

Han returned to the country and did not go to university in China.However, many students in high school have studied in China, and they complained about Ma Zhe in their freshman year.What the hell is "things have two sides, both opposites and unity"?Can't understand.

Han Fu didn't understand either, until today.

He had always felt that Pei Zhen's bad legs were a "bad thing" in a pure sense.I didn't expect that things do have two sides, and there are benefits to walking slowly!

He really caught up with him halfway.

It happened that there was no one around in the deep corridor, so he stopped decisively and pressed his arms against the corner of the wall.

Pei Zhen: "You..."

Han Fu: "Zhenzhen, don't go to him, don't fall for him! Don't talk to him, don't talk to him!"

I don't want you to meet that cheating 3-point demon king.

Even if you go to him to reason or quarrel!
