The workers are ruthlessly substituted!
It's so exciting!
It took the French artist 8 years to use 700,000 matches
An Eiffel Tower was erected
But it was officially rejected by Guinness
The reason turned out to be that I bought the wrong match?!
What kind of injustice is this?
Here's the thing
法国艺术家理查德·保罗(Richard Plaud)
Dream big
To do a "big production"
- Build a 7.18-meter building with matchsticks
A "miniature Eiffel Tower" taller than a two-story building
Sprint with this
Guinness World Records for the tallest match sculpture
In order to perfectly replicate every detail of the Eiffel Tower
Paul started with pixels
A three-dimensional version of the Eiffel Tower is depicted
In order to make this two-storey "match building" stand tall
He even designed it himself
Structural scheme, accurate to slope, weight, part size, etc
All of them are repeatedly calculated and verified by computers
An artist has been turned into an engineer!
Once you've designed it, you'll build it yourself
To know
It is not easy to build a two-story tower with ordinary bricks
What's more, with small matchsticks!
Because there is limited space at home
He will be the Eiffel Tower
It was split into more than 100 parts and assembled!
The whole living room was crammed to the brim
The family didn't dare to move at all
I'm afraid I'll collapse his parts
We have to rebuild again!
It took 8 years of hard work
Just when the whole family was full of anticipation
Guinness poured cold water on him!
Because matchsticks do not meet the regulations
The record cannot be passed!
It turned out that Paul thought it was too troublesome to cut match heads
I specially ordered a batch of headless matchsticks from the match factory
But I didn't expect that
Outsmart oneself
That's exactly where the problem lies!
This dramatic scene
Paul almost fainted on the spot!
That's 8 years of hard work!
After media coverage
caused a huge controversy
Many workers said that they were brought in!
At last
After some discussion, Guinness official
I think the rules are really too strict
Re-certified with his world record!
I have to say
The process is really full of twists and turns
It's more exciting than the movie!
Let's be less clever in the future!
