An hour and forty minutes before the judges' office.

After several rounds of discussion, there is still no result in the way of the top 16 on-site competition, it is not wrong to have more people and more power, and it is inevitable that there will be many people, each expressing their own opinions, and not being convinced.

"Only propositional composition can reflect strength, a writer with real talent and real learning must be able to dance in handcuffs, to be able to do what he wants without exceeding the rules, and the time-limited question is this shackle to verify their color, otherwise the live competition will be meaningless. ”

One of the judges said so.

"There is no problem with the time limit, but the limited topic needs to be considered in the long run, although writing is a craft that deals with words, but there is a difference after all, everyone has their own strengths, the limit is too dead, it will only bury talents, just like you can't let Zhuangzi write poems, let Li Bai write lyrics, we need to give them enough space to play, to express xiàn. ”

Another judge disagreed.

Then, everyone discussed these two topics, like all human discussions, and the result was that no one could convince anyone, and finally Dean Hu slapped the table and said: "I think so, find out three things from the judges, and then take them to the participating students to see, and don't make any other requirements, it's just such a question, see how they solve it, can you say it?"

This mention happened to take care of the opinions of both parties, which not only reflected the idea of no restrictions, but also gave the scope and rules, so everyone nodded in agreement.

This is where the sloppy question of the round of 16 comes from.

……

Liu Jingting's early submission brought a small commotion to the classroom, and everyone took their eyes off the screen, quickly glanced at Liu Jingting, and immediately returned to their own words in the pile of words.

"Submitting papers in advance" has always been a typical means for scumbags to show their chic and top students to show their strength. It has also become the most hated thing for those students who are above the scum and under-the-top students.

Because the competition site is based on the seats in the ranking of the audition, everyone knows who the person sitting on the far left of the first row is, so everyone knows very well that it is definitely not the abandonment of the scumbag, but the attack of the top student, so everyone is getting more and more nervous, and the intensity of tapping the keyboard is also increasing.

Liu Jingting closed his hand and greeted Yan Minghui. Leave the classroom lightly.

According to the flow of the game, today's results will not be announced until tomorrow, which means that eight people will leave here tomorrow morning.

Whether it is watching TV shows or participating in some class committee elections, Liu Jingting's favorite part is when the elimination begins. It was one of his many bad tastes, because only then. The true feelings that people hide will be revealed.

Or cheer. or sad tears, the four words of survival of the fittest are vividly reflected at this moment.

Liu Jingting likes to observe people's expressions and speculate on people's feelings, and the skill he hopes to have the most is mind reading, of course, the kind of mind reading he pursues is not the pure halo skill in YY's novels. Rather, it is to speculate and judge the minds of others based on subtle expressions and subconscious actions.

"What if it's yourself who gets eliminated?" Liu Jingting thought of this question and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Naturally, I won't cry sadly, maybe it's a little puzzling." ”

Liu Jingting took a relaxed step. Begin to leisurely walk around the campus, to see the auditorium, which is listed as one of the new ten scenic spots of Jianghai.

The Vientiane Auditorium is located at the south gate of the school park, and it is said that there is a huge lawn in front of the auditorium, so the auditorium and the school gate face each other across the lawn.

Liu Jingting walked for ten minutes to the south gate, and when he saw the lawn, he found that he still underestimated the capacity of the word "huge", standing on the edge of the lawn, and in a trance there was a huge football field in front of him.

The Great Hall, on the opposite side, looked like a castle, with a few pine trees of varying heights standing tall and tall like loyal guards, and their shadows sparsely cast on the outer walls of the Great Hall.

The auditorium is one of the earliest buildings in Vientiane Academy, designed by the famous American architect Henry Bate, and the overall structure is a fusion of ancient Roman and ancient Greek architectural styles.

Liu Jingting walked through the lawn, walked straight to the auditorium, before entering the door, suddenly had the illusion of entering a solemn church, an inexplicable solemn atmosphere accompanied by a trace of coolness, Liu Jingting head-on, and finally stepped into the magical building that was famous all over the world.

After a rough walk, it can be judged that the plan structure of the auditorium should be a cross, with the south end being the foyer and the north end being the stage. The auditorium has a large castle-like dome, surrounded by a large triangular lintel, with a cross-shaped sloping roof and a bronze dome at the top. There are four white marble pillars in front of the door, and the overall column design is standardized and delicate, full of vitality.

The so-called hearing is better than seeing, Liu Jingting can probably guess the important role of this auditorium after simply turning around.

When leaving the auditorium, Liu Jingting casually glanced at the big stage on the north side, and a thought welled up in his heart for no reason: "One day in the future, I will stand in the center of the stage and accept the applause of 9,000 spectators." ”

The thought startled him, smiled lightly, and turned to walk out.

……

At half past eleven, the other contestants walked out of the professor one after another, and went to the toilet or canteen with different faces, Liu Jingting quickened his pace and walked to the canteen.

"What did you write?"

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Liu Jingting heard someone discussing the writing test questions.

"Ring, what about you?"

"It's a ring, too. ”

"I chose earrings. ”

A few people chatted and ordered food, and Liu Jingting was bored left and right, so he sat down near them and listened to them chat while eating.

"I wrote a short story, almost 6,000 words, and the time was so urgent that I didn't have time to polish it. ”

"I was writing prose, and I wanted to write a modern poem, but after a few attempts, I found that it was not enough to express my thoughts, so I had to switch to the prose that I am best at. ”

Liu Jingting listened for a while and basically came to a conclusion, and each of their arguments was based on "My work is the most awesome." ”

"By the way, what books do you usually read?"

It could be that someone realized the weirdness of their conversation. So he stopped explaining his article in time and threw out a common question.

"I usually like to read some Western aesthetic theories, and I personally appreciate the innate comprehensive judgment he put forward the most, which is the separation of the individual first, and then synthesized according to a certain innate logic, which is very interesting. ”

The next talk went around Hegel's "petty logic", Schopenhauer's "pessimism", Plato's "kingdom of reason", and so on.

Liu Jingting was listening drowsily, when he suddenly heard someone suddenly rise up and said, "I'm watching Gu Yongsheng's martial arts now." ”

"What, you're watching martial arts?" several incredible voices sounded at the same time.

"That's right. What's wrong?"

"Martial arts," someone laughed disdainfully, "that kind of thing, to put it mildly, can be considered garbage in literature." ”

Another retorted: "Martial arts cannot be classified in literature. At best, it's a fast-food-like text that doesn't have any nutritional value. ”

"I can't agree with either of you. To put it mildly. I don't think your opinion is rubbish at all. The man who claimed to be watching martial arts was obviously enraged by the siege, and he used his own way to govern others and said, "Martial arts novels are also stating points of view and giving meaning, so why can't they be called literature? You look at Western aesthetics, look at Socrates Plato." OK, there is no problem, but I watch martial arts, and I also have my own gains and summaries. In fact, the reason why I can sit here today is because of the influence of Gu Yongsheng's martial arts. ”

"Gu Yongsheng, the one who hyped up the on-site writing?"

"You have seen Gu Yongsheng, do you know the whole story of that incident?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have the time or energy to follow this entertainment news. ”

"Then rashly labeling the hype is not in line with Kant's rational attention?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, you said that you were influenced by Gu Yongsheng, so how did you specifically influence you?"

"Do you remember the topic of the audition?"

"Gifts. ”

"Yes, have you watched "White Horse Howling West Wind"?"

"I've heard of it. ”

"Then I must know a famous quote in it, those are all good things, I don't like it, have you heard of it?"

"Well, so what?"

"You don't have to distance yourself too far, since you know this sentence, and remember our audition topic, how can you not think of the connection between them, what gift is the best, have you thought about it, if you don't like it, high-rise buildings, don't want gold taels, if you like it, a small bottle is also very precious, that's it. ”

"Plain, slightly vulgar. ”

"Of course, for you young people, it must be a little white. ”

"Who are you talking about, who are you saying is Wenqing, you are Wenqing, you are Wenqing, your whole family is Wenqing!"

……

Liu Jingting, who was sitting not far away, listened with great joy, he had no opinion on the fact that others were prejudiced against martial arts, even in that era, the rise of popular literature had gone through a long time, let alone this world?

The funny part that made Liu Jingting feel was that the classmate who was said to be Wen Qing actually had such a big reaction, as if Wen Qing had some connection with the bastard and the bastard, this is really an incomprehensible situation.

In Liu Jingting's view, literary and artistic creators are the most taboo to draw circles and divide sects, when he first learned Song Ci, he questioned the division of the bold school and the graceful school, for example, Li Qingzhao, the leader of the graceful sect, wrote the bold verses of "life as a hero, death is also a ghost hero", and Su Dongpo, who was respected as a representative of the bold faction, wrote "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together", Xin Qiji even sang "The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the lamplight" and other sentences.

Therefore, the act of forcibly drawing circles is to make one's reading experience uncomfortable, popular martial arts can accidentally carry the great meaning of life, and traditional literature on the high ocean is occasionally too good to work.

When Liu Jingting finished eating, the controversy between the several people was also coming to an end, and after a series of debates and reasoning, everyone's differences, of course, were even more irreconcilable.

……

The cafeteria controversy was not over, and there was a controversy in the judges' office, but unlike in the cafeteria, the debate in the judges' office continued for a few minutes and immediately achieved a rare unanimity.

Liu Jingting's "Necklace" was once again rated as the first! (To be continued......
