Sand Sculpture Childhood Friends Are the Most Lethal

The news that Wu Yunfei retired from the race really shocked me. I really can't figure out why he retired.

Is it really because there is no creative inspiration?

This reason is a bit far-fetched, I actually don't believe it in my heart, but he insists that this is the reason.

"What's the topic this time?" I asked.

According to my investigation, this guy's creative style is quite changeable, and he shouldn't feel overwhelmed in the subject matter.

If he is not even inspired, then others must find it more difficult.

This can only show that there is a problem with the theme setting of this episode.

In any case, it is too capricious to say "retirement" easily.

Didn't he want to prove himself to everyone through this opportunity?

"This time it's a Gothic theme... I really don't have any good feelings for this kind of dark stuff." He sighed and said, "I thought it was my preconceived prejudice that was at work, so I checked it online. Some materials of Gothic, but still can't get the beauty of this style."

Speaking of the word "goth", the image of a little loli in a black tutu popped out of my mind, but Wu Yunfei told me that it was not goth at all.

"Goth has a morbid feeling, like digging out the dark sentiment of the Middle Ages from the tomb of the historical context...The things you look at are using Goth as a gimmick, and the essence is still innocent and full of sunshine. "He said.

I thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was really such a thing.

But looking at his analysis like this, it seems that he has a good understanding of Goth, how can he not start?

"Understanding is one thing, having inspiration is another." Wu Yunfei said, "If you don't have a good impression of this style, even if you gritted your teeth and barely finished a work, it probably won't resonate with everyone. ."

According to him, the previous works were very successful, and he didn't want to end in a "junk" at the end.

"You haven't started making it, how do you know that the finished product will be rubbish?" I said.

"It's important for a person to have self-knowledge." He said, "You probably can't understand my feelings. Usually, the moment I hear the topic, the clothes are already in my mind. The next thing to do is to understand my mind. The dress in the middle is dropped on paper and then made out... This time the situation is completely different. My brain is blank and I can't think of anything."

"Don't panic, calm down." I tried to comfort him, "I can help you find inspiration together."

As a former junior, I am not unfamiliar with Gothic elements, and I have some opinions that belong to me.

I said you can try Gothic Lolita. He said that this is the style that the shopkeeper's sister is good at, and it is easy to crash in design.

I proposed religious themes, such as the elements of medieval nuns’ clothes, and he said that he had seen someone make this design before, and he couldn’t use it again...

All in all, no matter what idea I put forward, he will reject it for various reasons.

I suddenly realized that he is not without inspiration, but that there are only so many elements that can be used in this particular style of clothing. It is almost impossible for him to not want to have the slightest similarity with anyone's design.

This is simply dancing in shackles!

"If there are other themes, I can completely modify my previous ideas and use them directly. But I have never tried Gothic subjects before..."

Although it's just words, I can feel the feeling of weakness of the other party.

"Sorry... Have you seen the news on the Internet?" I asked.

Wu Yunfei will never suddenly care about other people's designs for no reason, and do everything possible to avoid crashes.

I feel that he was influenced by public opinion on the Internet.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to reply me with the word "um".

"I wanted to use a design that they had never seen before, but later found out that it was me who was beaten." He said, "If people are not going well, even God will fight against him... Why is this issue a Gothic theme? ?"

I told him not to pay attention to the words on the Internet, and just complete the work according to his own ideas.

"You should treat it as a bone scraping, and I promise that public opinion will be reversed in two days." I said.

"But what if I die on the operating table before the drug treatment is over?" He said, "I'm not Guan Yu, I can't talk and laugh while scraping the bone to treat the drug."

He looked depressed and in a very bad state, so I decided to talk to him face to face.

This kind of competitive show gets more difficult as it goes to the back. Seeing the players who participated in the competition get eliminated one by one, the psychological pressure can be imagined.

From a certain perspective, Wu Yunfei has been able to hold it very well now.

"Don't tell the program team about retiring. We will discuss it after I go and make a decision." I said.

If he really made up his mind to retire, I would naturally not stop him, even if the sky fell, I would still support him. I was afraid that he was impulsive because of too much pressure, and regretted it after he really retired.

But before I set off to find him, I still have some other things to do.

The brand has already replied to me. They thanked me for my enthusiastic action and said that they would take this matter seriously.

In order to show justice, they gave me a number, saying that if you have any questions, you can call me at any time.

I sent the number to the assistant and asked him to help me keep an eye on the situation here.

"What's wrong with our cooperation with this brand?" the assistant asked.

I told him that although this matter had no direct relationship with the group, life was a matter of life, and it was a little sloppy.

"Designers are almost unable to think about it because of excessive psychological pressure." I said.

The assistant promised to help me follow up this matter, but he was very curious about the relationship between me and the designer.

"Now it's a young girl, but after I chase him, it will be a relationship." I said.

The assistant is calmer than I thought. It seems that he has guessed about this a long time ago, but he just asked me to confirm it.

"Did you not come to work recently because you are dealing with this matter?" he asked.

"That's not... there was an accident last week and it was not convenient to go to work." I said.

The assistant listened to me and did not continue to ask questions, but wished me a speedy recovery.

I asked a few more things about the company. He said that my father took over my job. Generally speaking, it was a step-by-step process, without success.

"Fortunately, you made the work arrangement for the next whole month some time ago, otherwise it must be messy." He said with emotion.

Can you mess with things with him? I feel a little strange.

After I asked carefully, I learned that I didn't go to work these days, and he was basically on vacation. There was nothing to do when he went to the company. At most, I could supervise the work of various departments.

"The chairman doesn't seem to trust me very much, and he delegates all the work to his team." He said.

I don't think it has much to do with trust or not.

My father probably just wanted to check my work to see if I really experienced the same kind of damage as I said outside.

I comforted the assistant a few words and told him not to take this matter too seriously.

"I understand, I'm just explaining the situation to you." The assistant said, "I will do the job you give me."

After arranging all this, I drove to the shooting location in the suburbs.

Wu Yunfei looked a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was unsettled.

I looked at the manuscripts he drew, and every design was very beautiful.

"Isn't this pretty good." I said.

"It's not good at all... It's just a stack of Gothic elements, and there is no sense of story at all." He said.

"Story?" I didn't quite understand what he meant.

He told me that every good-looking clothes has a story behind it, connecting all the details of the clothes together.

"Clothes without a sense of story have no soul." He said.

Elements related to Gothic are often inseparable from religion and the Middle Ages. In this way, the two of us brainstormed and listed all the key words imaginable on the paper.

Horror, supernatural, death, decadence, witchcraft, castle, abyss, thorns, night, curse, vampire...

"It's too common." He said, "Don't talk about costume design, even comics use similar elements to express Gothic."

I also think these elements look very familiar, but if these elements are not included, can you still see that this is Gothic?

"Sure enough, I'd better give up." He said.

"Don't worry, think again." I said, "There is still time."

He seems to want to find an element that was rarely used by his predecessors, but everyone can associate it with Gothic at a glance.

Does such a thing really exist?

I looked at the desktop in a daze, and suddenly felt a pain on my face.

It turned out that Wu Yunfei touched my face through the mask.

"It's still very swollen." He said, "You must have not applied the medicine in the way I taught you."

The complexity of his technique is comparable to that of a woman putting on makeup. I usually squeeze a stick of ointment on the injured area after washing my face, and then push it away with my fingers.

"How can this work? You should remember to apply cold compresses for the first three days, and then change to hot compresses after the blood vessel wall repairs itself. When applying the medicine, remember to massage gently to remove the congestion." He said.

According to him, this series of operations will take at least a quarter of an hour. Thinking about it, it feels super troublesome.

And it was just a punch, and there was no other trauma, even if it doesn't matter, it can recover on its own after a while!

In order to keep him from nagging, I decided to change the subject.

"By the way, the guys who mingled with you at the beginning seem to have a lot of people dressed up very gothic. Can you find some inspiration from them?" I asked.

In fact, I am not very familiar with those people, but vaguely remember a few of those guys who often painted heavy eye makeup and dark lip gloss, which looked sick and weird.

"They're not called Gothic, they called Killing Matt." Wu Yunfei frowned and said.

However, he also admitted that it was precisely because those guys were dressed like Gothic that he didn't have a good impression of Gothic at the beginning, and he would try his best to avoid related elements when designing clothes.

"Unexpectedly, I still couldn't hide in the end." He said with emotion.

I looked at the design manuscripts that Wu Yunfei eliminated, and suddenly, I thought of an element that is rarely mentioned by everyone.

"Would you like to try Doctor Bird's Beak?" I asked.

In the Middle Ages, the Black Death was rampant in Europe. In order to prevent infections, doctors put on vinegar-soaked blouses, black top hats and a silver beak mask on their faces. Preventing it from being infected with the Black Death, secondly, it can scare away evil-doing diseases.

It has both religious mystery and a touch of darkness, which is absolutely in line with the Gothic theme!

Wu Yunfei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he smiled and said, "Yes! Why didn't I expect such a good idea!"

Seeing him smiling again, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Retire?" I asked.

"Don't retreat." He said, "Yah, who will pretend to be a wolf with a big tail this time, and slander me for plagiarism. I will kick him into the Middle Ages!"
