This city simulation game can affect reality.

Although these three themes are very different in style and artistic expression, they are also quite different.

But whichever option you choose, it will be enough to fully demonstrate the solid teaching level of Woodcutter's Hut and the students' growth rate.

Chen Jun had no doubt about this.

With the production results fully meeting expectations, "Silk Road Legacy" is undoubtedly the most ambitious in scale.

Both the artistic conception it expresses and the quality of the work itself are top-notch.

However, from the perspectives of regional affinity and market resonance, "Longding Mountain Scenic View" has unique advantages.

If this work is successful, it will surely be able to accurately capture the local people's sense of belonging and gain their emotional resonance.

This is also an excellent opportunity for the local tourism industry to promote the place name Longding Mountain and let more tourists from other places know about it.

Before this, Longding Mountain was merely a regional scenic spot lacking influence, far less famous than well-known historical sites. Outside of Nanjing, it was virtually unknown.

Such a large-scale landscape wood carving has the potential to become a landmark cultural symbol.

Moreover, according to Chen Jun's initial estimate, the physical size of this work is also quite considerable, and it will bring a sufficient visual impact once completed.

As for "One Hundred Children Playing in Spring," it is not as grand as the previous two in terms of scale, but its technical content and artistic level are by no means inferior.

Even in terms of the difficulty of carving, accurately capturing and vividly presenting the different playful movements and innocent charm of a hundred children, creating a lively and vivid "interactive feeling," is an ultimate test of the creator's character shaping ability and control over micro-details.

From the most intuitive market perspective of "attracting attention" and "generating buzz," Chen Jun was actually not very fond of "One Hundred Children Playing in Spring."

After all, most ordinary viewers have not had in-depth contact with woodworking, and their aesthetic appreciation is basically limited to intuitive feelings.

Judging by appearances alone, "One Hundred Children Playing in Spring" is not as impressive as the other two.

"If we participate in any industry competitions later, we can bring out this piece as a secret weapon."

Chen Jun thought to himself.

For true industry experts, they can see through the surface and deeply understand the complexity of the techniques used in this work, thus knowing its true value.

But at this stage, what the resort needs is a work that can instantly move audiences at all levels and completely crush Yunhai Woodworking Workshop, delivering the final blow and securing victory.

After careful consideration, the "One Hundred Children Playing in Spring" painting can only be ruled out for now.

After narrowing down the target range, only two options remain.

The "Scenic View of Longding Mountain" is more down-to-earth, rich in local characteristics and emotional warmth.

"The Legacy of the Silk Road" has a grander vision, full of historical depth and international perspective.

Chen Jun was caught in a dilemma.

Unable to make a decision on his own, he went to the woodcutter's hut and told Li Qingxin about his considerations, the pros and cons, and the points he was struggling with. He also asked the other three masters for their advice.

"The two plans have completely different focuses, but it is foreseeable that they will both be stunning works of art when completed. I really can't decide which one to choose."

Chen Jun frankly expressed his predicament.

Upon hearing this, the other three fell into thought, and after a moment one of them looked up.

"Personally, I think that the natural textures that need to be restored and reproduced in the 'Longding Mountain Scenic View' painting, such as the textures of the rocks, the bark of the trees, and the traces of water and soil, are almost the areas where the wood-boning muscle-building technique can shine the most."

Master Yang spoke first, "Xiao Li has already grasped the basics of this skill, and using it as the core for her creations is a good way for her to strike while the iron is hot."

His analysis is based on the fit between teaching progress and skill characteristics, and is not out of personal bias.

The other two masters also wanted to take advantage of this "big production" to promote their skills, but they had to admit that Master Yang's views best met the core requirements of the project.

If it doesn't involve commercial promotion or teaching demonstrations, the safest approach is naturally to have several masters personally handle the production.

The problem is that after the work is completed, Chen Jun plans to release some behind-the-scenes footage and clips to prove to potential clients that the work was led by the core students trained by the Woodcutter's Hut.

If the masters were to do it, this promotional point would be impossible to implement.

Although there's no need for live production this time, the main focus of the subsequent promotion will still be on Li Qingxin and Xiao Xiong.

"Brother Yang is right. My 'thousand layers of transparency' technique can also be used in my works to depict the layers of clouds, mist, and trees. But rationally speaking, we should definitely use the techniques that Xiao Li is best at as the foundation."

Master Zhao nodded in agreement.

"The elements involved in 'Silk Road Relics' are too complex, and the design work in the early stages of creation is extremely demanding, which may slow down the overall progress. On the other hand, 'Longding Mountain Scenic View' uses local materials, and we can even do on-site sketching, which is more efficient."

Master Han also added objectively.

If the three masters reach a consensus, then this matter can be considered to have been agreed upon.

However, Chen Jun still looked at Li Qingxin and asked, "What's your opinion?"

"I agree with the views of the three masters."

She responded, "Our core objective this time is to showcase the teaching results of the Woodcutter's Hut, and the scenic view is undoubtedly the best medium. Moreover, we have already demonstrated our ability to handle grand narrative themes when we performed the 'Havoc in Heaven' puppet show. This time, I think we should try a different approach, using extreme realism and delicate local customs to impress them. Perhaps this will bring even greater surprises."

Li Qingxin's opinion was exactly the same, but her reasoning was different.

If Longding Mountain could be recreated on a wood carving, it would be an unprecedented feat.

"Okay, it's settled then."

After hearing everyone's opinions, Chen Jun's hesitation vanished.

Once the subject matter was decided, he didn't delay Li Qingxin's studies and immediately returned to his office.

Although the woodcutter's hut currently has sufficient manpower, to complete this massive project, everyone will need to work together and dedicate at least twenty days of intense work.

And all of this is predicated on Li Qingxin fully mastering the core techniques of the Wood Bone Muscle Building Technique.

Fortunately, Master Yang is currently providing guidance. Although he will not personally perform the procedures, his experience and expertise have largely compensated for Li Qingxin's initial lack of proficiency.

Once she reaches the threshold of barely mastering it, production can begin immediately.

This "training through combat" model undoubtedly greatly shortens the preparation time.
