The rules of "Poetry Storm" are very simple, there are 5 contestants competing in each issue, the first place among the 5 people, and then challenge the champion of the previous period, and if you win, you will become the champion of this period;

Therefore, Xiong Jie, as the champion, did not appear at the beginning, after showing the cheerleading team of the champion, in the applause of the audience, all 5 new challengers came on the field, and the 3 poetry judges were in place.

The host first introduced these five newcomers, who are of different ages and genders, come from different cities across the country, and are engaged in all walks of life. Among them, there was a man named Wang Daoxin, who impressed Liu Yan a little. Because the host asked him why he came to this show, he said, "My goal is to defeat Xiong Jie, end his winning streak, and become the new champion!"

After he finished speaking, half of the audience gave him applause and cheers, and half of them booed him. Wang Daoxin, who was arrogant, was not affected by the boos in the slightest, and he was full of confidence in the camera, he obviously came prepared! Just now, the host introduced him as a doctor of literature and history, and he is also a scholar, and he does have capital arrogance.

In fact, tens of thousands of people sign up for the "Poetry Meeting" every day across the country, and the five contestants in each issue are all selected through strict assessment, and their knowledge reserves in poetry are definitely the best in the crowd.

In order to increase the topic, the camera immediately switched to Xiong Jie's waiting room in the backfield, and the backfield host asked Xiong Jie, "Have you been scared by Wang Daoxin's challenge book?"

Xiong Jie hugged his chest and smiled disdainfully, "He's not a challenge, he's just a provocation." ”

Liu Yan was surprised, Xiong Jie on TV looked more crazy and confident than Wang Daoxin, and he was like two people in school, probably a nine-phase winning streak, and his talent gave him the confidence to despise everyone.

Liu Yan pointed to Xiong Jie and said to Lina, "He is my college classmate. ”

Lina looked at it carefully and came to the conclusion, "It's handsome!" She looked serious, it didn't look like nonsense, it wasn't a compliment, and Xiong Jieren wasn't here, who did she give a compliment to?!

Then she really thinks Xiong Jie is handsome. Foreigners have a strange aesthetic for Asians, some are severely face blind, and some regard the ugliest as the most beautiful. Similarly, they will not be too harsh on people in appearance, talent is more important than face, Li Xiaoru is now the piano goddess in the minds of countless foreign netizens.

"He would be happy if he could hear your compliments," Ms. Liu said.

"When he wins this game, I'll say it to his face again." ”

Both of them, of course, were joking.

TV began to introduce the theme of this issue's program, "Poetry Stormy Meeting" has a fixed theme for each issue, for example, the last issue was "Remembering Jiangnan", and the last issue was "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", after all, the content of classical Chinese poetry articles is as vast as a sea of smoke, no matter how powerful a person's brain capacity is, it is impossible to memorize all the content at one time, and the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination have an exam syllabus for students to know the scope of the exam.

Even if there is such a person with excellent memory, once he stands on the stage of live broadcast, facing professional judges and hundreds of live audiences and millions of TV viewers, it is impossible for him not to be nervous, in case he is too nervous, too anxious, and can't answer the question, he will be embarrassed, the show will be much less interesting, and it will seriously affect the efficiency and effect of the live broadcast.

Therefore, each episode of the show will frame a theme, so that the contestants can prepare for it one step earlier, so that they can have a bottom in their hearts, but the program team only tells them the theme two days in advance, if they don't have a certain amount of knowledge accumulation in the past, they can't prepare much in two days.

On TV, a dynamic moment mural unfolded on the screen, and a magnetic male announcer said at the same time, "It was an era of Jin Ge Iron Horse, the swords of the princes were fighting each other, and the sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty were like stars in the night, and they had prescribed good prescriptions for governing the world, and the violent collision of hundreds of schools of thought ......"

After a long period of foreshadowing, the picture is fixed on the words "Hundred Schools of Thought". This is the theme of the tenth issue - the hundred schools of thought. The audience exclaimed, ordinary people are still more familiar with Tang poems and Song lyrics, and the hundreds of schools of thought give everyone a deeper and more incomprehensible feeling.

When Liu Yan saw this theme, she couldn't help but worry about Xiong Jie. Xiong Jie once told her that the previous articles of the Han Dynasty were his weakness, and he was not very interested. Because Liu Yan has always shown super talent in this area, Xiong Jie mentioned this sentence to express his admiration for Liu Yan.

However, when Wang Daoxin, a doctor of literature and history, introduced himself just now, he said that the history of the pre-Qin and Western Han Dynasty was his most recent research topic. Liu Yan strongly doubted that the program team had gone through the back door for him, and the question was so in line with his field of expertise. However, the theme of the first nine issues of the show basically turns the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The five-person competition in the early stage, without any suspense, Wang Daoxin easily defeated the opponent and became the winner, and the remaining four people left the scene gloomily, he stayed on the stage with great ambition, no one on the scene booed him, after watching his performance of killing the opponent just now, everyone felt that he might really be able to win Xiong Jie.

For Lina and these foreigners, it should be a book from heaven, but she didn't show a boring look, but watched TV with relish, and Liu Yan helped her translate as much as possible - with Liu Yan's English level, it was also a big problem to translate in place, and she wanted Lina to understand the meaning of these esoteric sentences.

At least Lina can accurately pronounce the four words "Zhuzi Baijia", and she also knows that these are Chinese articles more than 2,000 years ago, she asked Liu Yan curiously, "Are the Chinese lyrics you sang in "That Prin Han" also Zhuzi Baijia?"

"No, no, that's a sentence from the Book of Songs. ”

"Doesn't the Book of Songs belong to the hundred schools of thought?"

"No, they are juxtaposed, the Book of Songs is poetry, and the hundred schools of thought are ......," Liu Yan struggled to organize her English vocabulary, "more like philosophy." ”

Lina nodded knowingly.

At this time, there was warm applause on the TV, the two girls stopped talking and looked at the screen, it turned out that Xiong Jie was on the stage, he and Wang Daoxin stood on a small stage with a single convex, looking at each other from afar, both showing their disdain for each other, the program team used the sabre-rattling soundtrack in a timely manner, and the audience also stood in line, shouting "Xiong Jie will win" while shouting "Wang Daoxin must win", and the atmosphere had a sense of tension that was about to erupt.

The host stood in the middle of the two, raised his hand, the soundtrack and the audience's cheering stopped, the scene quieted down, and the host said, "Wang Daoxin's performance just now was very good, did he put pressure on Xiong Jie?"

Xiong Jie smiled at the camera, "He should be the one who is under pressure!"
