Gym.

The auditorium was crowded and packed.

Xu Tian came out of the toilet and took the pass and went inside, the opening speech was over, I saw that a leader of radio and television had just put down the microphone and walked off the stage, and then the two hosts went up, all of whom Xu Tian had never seen, they should be students at nearby Kyoto University, male and female.

"Hello leaders, guests. ”

"Welcome to the annual Poetry and Song Conference. ”

"I feel very honored to be the host and feel the light all over me. ”

"You're a firefly, I've known you for so many years before I know you still have this function?"

The lines were obviously arranged in advance, and the two hosts complained to each other for a while to liven up the atmosphere before announcing the rules of the competition, "Before the opening dance begins, let's introduce the rules of the finals." He pointed to a long row of seats next to the rostrum, about fifty or so, on the side, there are three judges' seats, with the names of the tags, that is, the three judges of the preliminaries, "Here are the seats of the contestants, there are the judges' seats, the finals are carried out in a situation of rushing to answer, each of the three judges has a question, and then each of the fifty contestants has an uplink, and the first to answer and get the unanimous approval of the three judges is a valid answer, one point, but there is no match for the next link after the answer...... One point will be deducted, it is worth noting that there is a new rule this year, if no one can match the player's own uplink within the specified time, then the player will get ten points, and the player with the highest final score will get the top three in order. ”

The rules of this session are slightly different from the previous one, but they are not too similar, that is, the points statistics and deduction convenience have been adjusted.

"Here's the opening dance. ”

"Applause to welcome the dancers and teachers of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles"

An ancient melody sounded, and several dance artists in ancient costumes appeared, with long sleeves fluttering, which caused bursts of applause from the audience below

Xu Tian bent down and walked briskly to his seat in the front row, "Come on, thank you." ”

When others saw that it was this young talent who had just shined in the preliminaries, they immediately started to talk about it.

"Eh, aren't you Mr. Xu......?

"The finals are almost starting, why don't you go up?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu, you ......"

They were all stunned that they would see Xu Tian in the audience.

Xu Tian waved his hand and found an empty seat to sit down, "I won't participate, let them compete." ”

"What? Why don't you participate? You have such a deep background in couplets, such a good opportunity, how can you ......?"

Some of the others were anxious, "Teacher Xu, you go up, hurry up, where can you not go!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, if you just give up, what's the point of today's competition!"

Xu Tian said honestly: "The pair was blindfolded in the preliminaries, and it happened that I didn't believe it in the finals, they were all masters, so I won't go to show ugliness." ”

Originally, Xu Tian still wanted to try the finals, of course he wanted to seize such a famous opportunity, but when he just entered the door, he heard the rules of the finals, and then he didn't plan to go up and be embarrassed, it was better to leave a mysterious impression of the preliminaries. Why? Why didn't you even try? It's because there are too many questions, he has never heard of most of the couplets in this world, he can't say that he can't answer 100%, at least 80% he can't start, and he can't use the culture of his world as a foundation, even if he goes, it happens that people have a few questions that Xu Tian has heard, it won't help, he can't get the top three, everything is in vain, it's better not to do it, save that Tu Fanghuai a chance to suppress himself, and don't give them a reason to talk about things.

As for whether the abstention will damage his prestige? If there is no preliminaries, it will definitely be, but Xu Tian staged an earth-shattering battle with Mu Lao in the preliminaries, and he won, so even if Xu Tian does not participate in the finals, his fame will only increase.

"Xiao Xu"

"Oops, you ......"

The people next to him persuaded him.

Xu Tian just shook his head, he was helpless, but others didn't understand the situation.

Seeing that Xu Tian really didn't mean to participate, everyone could only regret it, and they didn't say anything more.

Opening dance.

Chinese culture recitation.

The ancient classics of famous calligraphers waved ink on the spot.

The show lasted for an hour, which was colorful and enjoyable.

At this time, the scene was already broadcast live online, with one or two cameras falling around the rostrum, and two hanging cameras, one above the rostrum and one behind the audience. Compared with the live broadcast of the general professional TV station, this is not professional, and there are few seats, but considering that it is a live webcast, this is already good.

At this point, the show ends.

A man and a woman took the stage.

"Hello everyone, I believe that the performance just now has made many people addicted, but the more enjoyable must be yet to come, I announce, the finals begin, I will first introduce the judges of the Beijing Couplet Competition...... "Every time she pronounces a name, a judge will come out of the backstage and sit down in the judges' seat in the applause of the audience, and then the hostess continued to announce: "Next, I announce the list of players who have entered the finals through the preliminaries, Lu Fang, Tu Fanghuai, Shen Anbang, Zhou Yan...... "The last name," ...... Xu Tian. ”

Suddenly, something seemed to be wrong.

A staff member with a blue badge ran out, and at first glance, this person was from the Writers' Association, and the Writers' Association's pass this time was blue, and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles was white, and different units were different. Then a few staff members of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Writers' Association came out one after another, and gathered around the three judges, as if they were discussing something with them. Immediately, someone made a pause gesture with the host on stage, as if to ask the host to delay first

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"The atmosphere is so tight?"

"What's wrong? It's still live, why don't you start the finals?"

The camera camera hurriedly dodged over there, but the audience present could see it clearly, and they all talked about it.

The male host also reacted quickly, "This final can be said to be highly anticipated, and I don't know who can win the championship this year, the last champion Professor Wang is unwell because of his age, and I regret not participating in this year's competition, this year I am optimistic about last year's runner-up Mr. Tu Fanghuai, what about you?"

The hostess smiled and said, "I'm optimistic about Teacher Xu Tian." ”

"Why?" The male host looked at his expression, obviously not knowing who Xu Tian was, but when his partner said so, he could only pretend that he knew him.

The hostess blinked, "No reason, because I'm a fan of Mr. Xu Tian, and I can memorize every one of his poems." ”

The male host said happily: "But this is a couplet competition." ”

"What's the matter, it doesn't prevent me from worshipping my idol," the hostess said of course.

"I just knew you were chasing stars. The male host couldn't laugh or cry.

The two of them procrastinated and changed the topic without saying a word.

"It's not a loss, Mr. Xu. ”

"Look at our Mr. Xu's popular fans all over the capital"

"Yes, the hostesses are all fans of Mr. Xu. ”

The audience next to him touched Xu Tian with his arm, "Mr. Xu, are you sure you really don't participate in the competition?"

Xu Tianxin said I want to go.

Five minutes passed, and the audience was getting impatient.

The host couldn't drag it anymore, so he looked at the audience and said, "Judge, can you start?"

Below, a staff member with a blue badge saw this, walked quickly onto the stage, took the microphone and said: "I'm sorry, something happened here, someone just reported that a member of the contestant cheated in violation of regulations, so please wait patiently for a while, we are discussing." ”

"Cheating?"

"Who is it?"

"What cheating?"

The audience was chirping.

The employee said quickly, "It was Xu Tian who was reported." ”

The faces of several judges over there flashed a trace of sternness, especially Mu Lao, who looked coldly at the staff of the Writers' Association who spoke without their consent on the stage, the result of the handling has not yet come out, who asked you to casually announce the name of the contestant who was reported? Who told you to say it?

The hostess was also stunned, she had just mentioned that she was optimistic about Teacher Xu Tian.

But the staff of the Writers' Association didn't seem to see the scolding eyes of the leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and several judges in the audience, and continued to grin: "Because Xu Tian discussed the topic with his friends around him throughout the preliminaries, and some people even heard his friends give him advice and help him solve the problem together, and after receiving the report, we also checked the camera records at that time and found that this was indeed the case."

Mu Lao was furious, "Let him come down!" ”

Wang Hongbo's face was also pale: "What do you say one by one!"

Several people in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles also looked ugly, and a leader of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles immediately said to a leader of the Writers' Association: "Who asked you to say it yet?"

The leader of the Writers' Association spread his hands, looked innocent, and said, "I didn't let him go." ”

A woman from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, who was in charge of receiving Xu Tian, said: "Let him get out of here for me" The dirty words came out.

The leaders of the Kyoto Writers' Association frowned, but they still let their employees come down, but everything that should be said has been said, and it is useless to come down.

The words are amazing, and this matter also exploded all at once,

Both in the live audience and in the webcast, everyone heard it.

"Xu Tian?"

"Xu Tian cheated?"

"The preliminaries were helped out by his friends, huh?"

"Hey, I'll just say, such a strange couplet, how can a person make a couplet in such a short period of time, there must be someone to help. ”

"This kind of person still comes to the competition?"

"Yes, hurry up and revoke Xu Tian's place in the finals. ”

"I thought that Xu Tian was very powerful, but I didn't expect that it was someone else who entered the finals, and the drama is really a drama. ”

At this moment, Xu Tian felt that the sights passed around him were strange.
