Chapter 40: A Trip to Tanzhou (6)
On August 20th, the Imperial High School Students' Poetry Contest opened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt 8 o'clock in the morning, hundreds of people poured into the largest studio of Tanzhou TV station.
According to the original plan of the organizing committee of the competition, the opening ceremony was planned to be held in the main square of the television station. It's a big place, some bunting, hot air balloons, and all sorts of things. The scene should be as grand as it should be, how grand it should be, and the style should not be too high!
But the weather is too hot, and the subtropical high, the heat island effect and the special geographical location have turned Tanzhou into a real furnace. Even if there is a parasol on the rostrum, people can't bear it.
Some people still chanted: What did you think at the beginning, isn't it good to put the competition venue in Tanzhou and in a northern city? Isn't it good to change the time? This upper layer pats its head, and it's all our little minions who suffer.
However, when the high-level came, things naturally changed, and with a wave of a certain big hand, the organizing committee of the competition temporarily decided to put the opening ceremony indoors.
Nearly 300 people from 32 teams participated in the opening ceremony. The organizing committee allowed a maximum of 10 participants per team, but many teams were not satisfied. For example, Zhao Yiming's team and the two teams encountered on the train only had seven or eight people.
In addition to the participating teams, there are 7 judges of the competition, more than 50 staff members of the organizing committee of the competition, and more than 40 people from the host and other staff of the borrowed TV station. In addition, forty or fifty reporters also filled the studio of Tanzhou TV Station, which can only seat 450 viewers at most.
The opening ceremony was lackluster, no different from what Zhao Yiming had seen in his previous life, and there was nothing new at all. The speeches of the representatives of the organizing committee of the competition and the speeches of the judges were full of official tones, and the people who listened were drowsy.
Zhao Yiming had a good night's sleep last night, and after getting up early in the morning to exercise, he took a pleasant hot bath, and he was in good spirits. He couldn't sleep, so he took out his mobile phone, pressed mute and played Tetris.
Row by row stacked and then eliminated, and the game is getting stronger.
Suddenly, I heard Yang Yun beside me exclaim: "Look, Hu Junliang is speaking on behalf of our team members." ”
Zhao Yiming raised his head, of course he knew this person. The winner of two poetry contests, and the call for victory this time is also very high.
As the most important opponent, He Yiyi has already introduced this Hu Junliang to Zhao Yiming in detail.
Hu Junliang on the stage is a sunny and handsome teenager, as soon as he came on stage, many girls below cheered.
It's very popular!
As his speech began, Zhao Yiming couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
The writing is polite, the conversation is funny and humorous, especially the way he laughs, with a touch of kindness. His speech may not be very remarkable elsewhere, but it is absolutely brilliant compared to those cookie-cutter official speeches. After all, the quality of things depends on contrast, safflower should be set off by green leaves, and flowers should be moisturized.
Hey? It seems to have been mixed in with some strange metaphor.
Yang Yun looked at Hu Junhao on the stage for a long time, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Yiming: "I supported you to win the championship before, but now I want to change my mind." ”
Everyone around laughed.
"Little nymphomaniac." Yu Wenlan hit her head with a finger, but she raised it high, but it fell gently.
Hu Junliang quickly finished his speech and stepped down, and then the representative of the TV station took the stage again. The opening ceremony reverted to its previous monotony and tastelessness.
"It's only half past the opening ceremony, and there is still half an hour, it's too difficult."
Zhao Yatong began to complain, she finished reading the "Phantom City" she brought over last night, and she was not like Zhao Yiming, who could be satisfied with a "Tetris", so she had to be in a daze now.
"Sister, bear with me. 30 minutes will pass quickly. Zhao Yiming could only comfort her like this.
Zhao Yatong sighed helplessly, and could only continue to endure the boredom of the opening ceremony.
At this time, in the editor-in-chief room of "Tanzhou Evening News", the editor-in-chief Zhang Jianjian's eyes lit up excitedly while listening to a recording.
"Guanyu! I'm going to give you credit! This is big news, Hu Junliang, the winner of the poetry contest in '04 and '05, actually won the championship by cheating and bribery. This is a big scandal, and it will definitely break out when it breaks out, and the popularity of our "Tanzhou Evening News" will definitely reach a higher level. ”
Zhang Jianjian listened to the conversation between Hu Junliang and Nong Yanghua on the rooftop last night.
"The editor-in-chief, why did you withhold the manuscript I rushed overnight last night. Today's poetry contest opens, let's give it a break today, isn't it just right? ”
Le Guanyu actually came to Zhang Jianjian to explain.
Le Guanyu is a news reporter for "Tanzhou Evening News" and has been working for two years, and it is rare that his enthusiasm is still the same after two years. It's just that he wasn't very lucky, and he never caught any big news.
And the heavens seem to have seen his efforts and finally gave him a great reward.
Tanzhou is so big, and there is so much news. This summer, the most talked about on the streets of the city recently is the Imperial Poetry Contest for Middle School Students, which will be held in Tanzhou.
There are many reporters who are paying attention, and he is no exception.
He went to the Orange Island Hotel yesterday to find out what news there was. But after grinding for hours as usual, I didn't find anything decent. finally blocked Kong Yongan, the chief judge of the competition, but he slipped away with a few perfunctory words. Looking at his excited look, Le Guanyu even made a small association with a bad taste.
And very late, he was disappointed and about to go back, but he accidentally saw the judge of the competition, Nong Yanghua, going out late at night. Looking at Nongyang Huadong looking sneaky, Le Guanyu's heart moved, there must be a situation. No matter how late it was, he immediately followed.
Follow carefully all the way. No matter how careful Nong Yanghua is, a university professor, how can he be his opponent as a journalist. He's done secret visits. Le Guanyu soon followed Nong Yanghua to the rooftop.
After Nong Yanghua went to the rooftop, it would be fine if he didn't close the door of the rooftop. It was too far away for Le Guanyu to hear what they were saying without being detected. But Nong Yanghua was a thief and closed the door.
As a result, the conversation between Nong Yanghua and Hu Junliang was all recorded by him leaning on the door.
Although it was a little dangerous when Hu Junliang went downstairs. Le Guanyu couldn't dodge it and was almost discovered. But Hu Junliang's negligence helped him again.
After going back, Le Guanyu immediately rushed to write the manuscript, hoping to publish it in the "Tanzhou Evening News" on the 20th. Unexpectedly, he was forcibly deducted by the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief only informed him to report to the editor-in-chief's office with the recording in the morning.
Facing Le Guanyu's questioning, Zhang Jianjian looked at the most energetic subordinate and smiled: "Childish! Do you think having this recording will uncover this scandal? ”
"Editor-in-chief, this is a live recording, and the evidence is ironclad."
"The evidence is good. But it's not like a mountain. For the sake of Le Guanyu getting a big news, Zhang Jianjian decided to enlighten him: "Guanyu, there are all human and material evidence, and the evidence is ironclad." Now you just have no evidence for this recording. They planned to frame this Zhao Yiming, but did they do it? They've done it before, but it's been a year, and there's no evidence anymore. ”
"If we blow things out now, they will deny it and say that your recording is fake. Because they haven't done anything yet, there will be no evidence for what they haven't done. ”
"Oh" Le Guanyu suddenly realized: "The editor-in-chief is high, high!" That's high! ”
"So, you go to the site right now. Carefully observe whether the host named Du Han maliciously made things difficult for Zhao Yiming's team. Zhang Jianjian instructed: "With facts, there is physical evidence, so that we can be invincible." ”
"Well, all right." Le Guanyu agreed and walked out, but he seemed to remember something, and turned back again: "Editor-in-chief, then should I notify that Zhao Yiming and let them be careful." ”
"Silly!" Zhang Jianjian was originally in a good mood, but when he heard him ask, he couldn't help but get angry: "It's good that they are eliminated, so that the shady scene can be shown and the scandal can be bigger." You're lacking in eyes. ”
"Oops, I see." Le Guanyu rushed out of the editor-in-chief's office with his head in his arms.
When Le Guanyu arrived at the venue, the participating teams also happened to enter the arena again. After hurriedly applying to the TV station, Le Guanyu finally arrived at Studio 2 before the start of the competition. This time, he didn't just have a voice recorder. The editor-in-chief assigned him a video camera and a videographer.
"Master, the focus of this camera is on the host, and your camera must follow him closely." Le Guanyu took advantage of the gap before the competition started to say the main points to the cameraman: "Also, the judge of Nong Yanghua in the audience should also pay attention, especially his interaction with the host, must be filmed in full."
The photographer was inexplicable, and the newspaper sent a camera to the TV station, which was also news. But the editor-in-chief has already instructed to listen to Le Guanyu's arrangement, and no matter how big the question is, he has to obey.
Le Guanyu explained the precautions to the photographer and waited for each team to be in place. He looked at the team with sympathetic eyes on the nameplate of the participating team that read "Jingxing No. 1 High School".
Several times, he couldn't resist wanting to walk over and talk to them, but in the end he didn't really act.
The race has finally begun.
Around thirty years old, the host Du Han, who was wearing a blue suit and a red bow tie, held the topic in his left hand and some question cards in his right hand, walked on stage.
He smiled at the players and spectators: "Hello to the audience and friends, and the contestants. The final of the 32nd round of the 10th Imperial High School Poetry Contest has officially begun. I'm your friend, host, Du Han. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, so as not to make our audience wait. Let's move on to the first round, the Poetry Challenge. ”
"Each team can send three representatives to participate in the poetry challenge, and the contestants are asked to step forward and stand in front of the microphone and answering machine."
With the words of the host Du Han, each team stood up with three people.
The team of Jingxing No. 1 High School also stood up with three people. But if anyone knows them, they will find that the three people who came forward are He Yiyi, Yang Yun and Liu Yuze.
Zhao Yiming did not play.
