Chapter 104: The Chief is absent
The competition schedule of the Shishao Cup will be held from August 1 to 14.
In addition to the fourteen-day schedule, there are a number of semi-public add-ons.
For example, the meeting of the excellent authors to sign the contract, such as the exchange of afternoon tea between the outstanding contestants and the judges, and the tradition handed down from the first Shi Shao Cup: the pre-competition dinner.
The pre-match dinner is a dinner party from 6 to 8 o'clock the night before the Shi Shao Cup, and all the contestants and judges are invited to participate.
At the pre-competition dinner of the first Shi Shao Cup, Su Sheng, who is nearly 60 years old, appeared at the pre-competition dinner as a special guest, bringing great surprises to the judges and contestants.
In each subsequent edition of the Shi Shao Cup, he often appeared as a guest at the pre-game dinner, even after the pen faded out of the literary world.
According to statistics, in the first 37 competitions he was alive, Su Sheng Su Wenhao attended a total of 23 pre-game dinners. And after Su Shichen's death in 2086, this tradition was still preserved.
It is said that at the pre-game dinner, Su Sheng's soul will return, give wisdom, and guide the young girls to embark on the road of literature.
Give wisdom and guide new people.
That's really ......
When he saw the relevant introduction, Su Bai smacked his lips and couldn't cry or laugh.
"It's also the mid-nineties of the twenty-first century, how can Blue Star still be feudal and superstitious. ”
"Such a legend...... Said Su seniors are like dancing the shaman of the great god. ”
In fact, not to mention Su Bai, ordinary people don't believe it and believe it.
But Su Shichen's position in Blue Star is so unique.
Thousands of years later, it doesn't matter if he can still be respected like Confucius, but all the news involving Su Shichen and Su Sheng will not be outdated no matter how many years have passed.
Some media take it out every year to stir up, chat, and pull, even if there has never been a supernatural incident at the pre-game dinner in the ten years since Su Wenhao's death, and no contestant suddenly seems to have been enlightened by Su Wenhao, this strange legend has been passed down in the form of a similar "college weird talk".
As for the inside of the Shi Shao Cup, there is no such superstitious statement.
Holding such a dinner party is to give a detailed explanation of the schedule, to let the contestants know each other, and to release the judges to show a show, so as to stimulate the contestants' enthusiasm for the competition and their yearning for Shanshi culture. To put it bluntly, it is the official pretending and showing off.
In the years when Su Sheng was still there, the main role of the pre-game dinner was to show that the goal of many young people to participate in the Shi Shao Cup was not to add points to further education but to see Su Sheng's true face.
And after his death, the left and right of the show attraction still existed, and the weight of the big bull judges decreased slightly.
……
7 p.m., Shanshi Park Ballroom.
The pre-match dinner was about to begin, and the ballroom was brightly lit.
Various media outlets have set up long guns and short cannons, and cameras of various types and colors are under the ceiling.
Eleven round tables were set up in the banquet hall, each with ten seats, densely packed with people.
At the front table, the nine judges and the chairman of the competition, Lin Ruiyu, were already seated, but there was a very conspicuous vacancy at the second table after the judges' seat.
The seats of the Shi Shao Cup dinner are arranged according to the ranking of the preliminary round, and the most conspicuous seat closest to the judges' seat is naturally arranged for the first place in the preliminary round.
"It's almost time, why haven't you yet?"
In the shadows that the camera can't illuminate, Fu Xiangchen, vice chairman of the organizing committee of the competition, holds a developer board behind his back and paces back and forth on the marble floor tiles.
Just as he looked at his watch for the seventh time and frowned a little more, the side door of the banquet hall opened, and his subordinate Xu Wen ran in panting.
"Chairman Fu, I'm really embarrassed, this Su Bai doesn't know where to go. ”
Xu Wen gasped and said: "I went to the dormitory to find no one, the phone was also turned off, and the sightseeing airship equipped for him was parked not far from the south gate of the park. ”
"I just called and asked at the south gate, and a staff member said that he seemed to see Su Bai go out ten minutes ago. ”
"Gone out?" Fu Xiangchen was surprised.
Theoretically, the pre-race dinner was a voluntary part of the players.
But at today's banquet, there are all the judges of the Shi Shao Cup, and all of them are the top writer idols.
Fu Xiangchen never thought that any contestant could give up the opportunity to meet many star writers, in his opinion, even if Su Bai choked on drinking water and fainted, the probability was a few points higher than if he deliberately did not come.
"He must have really gone out. ”
Xu Wen said: "I found the competition brochure in his dormitory, maybe this contestant reported too late and didn't have time to read it, and he went out first when he encountered something." ”
"Is that ......" Fu Xiangchen reluctantly agreed with this explanation.
In previous years, there have also been cases where players suddenly fell ill or fainted when they saw a certain idol god, which is not impossible to handle.
But others are good to say, but absent En is the chief of the preliminary round to give a speech on behalf of the competition, and if he is not there, he has to be replaced as soon as possible, and he has to be replaced by another player who can convince the public.
Fu Xiangchen's brain turned quickly, he handed the hanging board in his hand to Xu Wen, and arranged: "Give this to Jian Li, who is in second place, as soon as possible, and let him quickly familiarize himself with the draft, and let him replace the contestant's representative speech in a while." ”
"If it's not easy for him to read, you choose one of the top ten, time is running out, you improvise ......"
Fu Xiangchen was admonishing, and there was a sound of clattering high heels behind him.
"Lao Fu, is the contestant in first place here preparing to give a speech here?" A lady in a black uniform and stepping on ten-centimeter high heels walked over, it was Han Yinbo, the director of the Shi Shao Cup program group.
"You remember to let him stay a little after dinner," she advised, "and I need a pre-match interview." ”
Fu Xiangchen was suddenly embarrassed.
He didn't know how to explain it when another staff member came running from the front.
"Chairman Fu, Chairman Fu," the staff member said, "Mr. Su asked me to ask you, why is Su Bai, who was the first student in the preliminary round, not here." ”
Fu Xiangchen: "%...... & amp; amp; amp;*”
Trouble, why is this Su Bai so popular, even Mr. Su asked.
The more important question is, how do you answer it now?
He suddenly wanted to slap himself.
Lin Ruiyu, the chairman of the organizing committee, once specifically mentioned this Su Bai to him, and also told him that this was a player who couldn't be idle for a moment to make trouble, so Fu Xiangchen should keep an eye on it.
It's a pity that Fu Xiangchen's understanding of Su Bai is only in the two novels "Elopement" and "Miracle".
"Elopement" is very playful and interesting, and "Miracle" greatly pokes at the cool and thunderous points of this father, and his impression of Su Bai is simply not too good.
Some of the instructions are directly from the left ear and out of the right ear.
So now.
The problem is very large.
……
ps: When I went home on vacation, I took the subway across the entire BJ City, my schoolbag was heavy, and I was tired and cried.
There's probably only one shift tonight.,The phone poked out.,Please understand.
PS2: The 27th Shi Shao Cup was corrected to the 47th in the previous article, for the sake of the year, sorry.
