Yunlian Studio and Long Yuying Studio exchanged harsh words with each other, which caused quite a stir in the industry.
One mocked the other as a novice, merely a facade.
The other ridiculed their lack of professionalism, underestimating others like serving dishes according to the diner’s perceived status.
Both sides engaged in several confrontations every day, but one thing stood out: Long Yuying Studio was rife with vulgarities, but Yunlian Studio never resorted to foul language.
Overall, the industry recognized Long Yuying more, after all, she had been in the business for many years and had considerable prestige.
Many people even took Long Yuying’s stream of obscenities as a sign of personality and capability.
@Long Yuying Studio: "Recently acquired a treasure of an art piece, currently seeking the owner’s permission to exhibit it. When it’s time, I’ll show you what real art is."
In dealing with the art piece, Long Yuying still played by the rules, contacting the "owner" of the suit via email.
Upon seeing the email, Shi Lan laughed at how politely Long Yuying phrased her sentences.
This person wasn’t disrespectful to talent or lacking in aesthetic appreciation, but why always have a beef with Mrs. Chen?
With such thoughts, Shi Lan replied to Long Yuying’s email: "It can be exhibited!"
Long Yuying: "I’ve recently clashed with a crazy hag who has no talent yet insists on showing off and deceiving others, so I want to use your art piece to properly educate her. Let her understand what true folk embroidery is and also give netizens something to feast their eyes on!"
Shi Lan: "No problem, it can be exhibited, but since I will participate in an event soon, I hope you can return it to me afterward."
Long Yuying: "No problem, but can I place a pre-order with you?"
Shi Lan: "Of course you can."
When everything would go public and the truth revealed, then she would specially send her a set, just to humiliate her properly.
Having obtained permission, Long Yuying planned to display the embroidered suit in her own exhibition hall for visitors to admire.
The next morning, Long Yuying had the display case prepared and hung the suit inside.
The originally pure white suit now boasted a complete and lifelike pattern of "The Hundred Birds Paying Homage" made of velvet flowers, an Intangible Cultural Heritage. But on this suit, these stunning velvet flower patterns were actually achieved through embroidery. This was exactly why Long Yuying was so amazed—it was like promoting our two unique skills at once, simply brilliant!
After Long Yuying exhibited the suit, she quickly received praise from industry insiders.
This craftsmanship was simply too extraordinary!
Subsequently, Long Yuying Studio displayed the piece online.
And continued to provoke Yunlian Studio.
@Long Yuying Studio: "@Yunlian Studio—Have you seen it? What is real art, what is a true artisan? Your skills are not even fit to show off here, totally not up to par! Quit folk embroidery altogether. The stuff you make dares to be called art? I declare here today, from now on, it’s irreconcilable between Long Yuying Studio and Yunlian Studio. You are the disgrace of the industry, better scram out of this circle!"
Not just industry members, even passersby couldn’t take their gazes off the art piece.
Because it was too extraordinary!
Simply a visual feast!
Young people who liked embroidery also rallied behind Long Yuying’s stance.
Because what she had shown was just so incredible, it virtually obliterated Yunlian Studio, leaving nothing but dregs.
But at this point, Yunlian Studio didn’t panic and calmly posed a question in return.
@Yunlian Studio: "Seen it, but... so what?"
