Chapter 272 The preliminary round begins!

 Two days later, in the auditorium of Qinzhou Art Institute, the Qin Yi Couplet Competition is about to begin.

The school originally planned to set up a stage in the playground to hold the couplet competition, which could accommodate more students. However, it was too hot on this September day, so it was converted into a large auditorium, which could accommodate about 2,000 people.

 The door is bustling with people.

 Journalists were fighting off the stage.

The competition has not yet started, the online live broadcast room of Shinhwa Video has been opened, and many viewers have stayed in front of the screen early.

"Have not started?"

 “I want to see Bai Di!”

“Do you think Bai Di is good at couplets?”

"Hard to say."

“Bai Di’s literary talent is not bad, but for couplets we should not only judge his literary talent but also his ingenuity and reaction speed. Besides, Bai Di’s literary talent is not that amazing.”

 “It’s like rap’s freestyle.”

"It's not that you can compose a song at any time if you are good at writing songs. On the contrary, I feel that it will be better if Chu Ci comes to participate. After all, Chu Ci's ability to write songs on the spot is so good. Even if the lyrics are improvised, it will generally be better." They are all of a very high level, and this kind of reaction speed is needed for the Dual League match.”

 “A fan of Chu Ci, right?”

“It’s okay when Chu Ci comes, but not Bai Di?”

"I'm just talking about things. Chu Ci writes songs quickly, and the lyrics are also fast and good. Isn't this a fact?"

 “Haha, the literary talent of Bai Di’s lyrics is no worse than that of Chu Ci.”

  "Pairing a pair is not about writing lyrics. Have you missed the point?"

　　　…”

　From the comments in the live broadcast room, it can be seen that many of the people paying attention to this couplet competition are here for Bai Di.

There are also many fans of Chu Ci.

 Maybe it’s because Bai Di and Chu Ci have been competing against each other for too long.

 So when Bai Emperor made some noise, Chu Ci's fans caught wind of it and ran over to watch the excitement.

If Bai Di didn't perform well, he could still say a few words later, right?

Just like every time Chu Ci broadcasts a live broadcast, there are a lot of fans of Bai Di watching it. The relationship between the two is so subtle.

 And in the midst of the barrages.

At the live broadcast, the host came on stage.

“Welcome to the audience on site and in the live broadcast room, and thank you for your attention to our Qinzhou Art Institute Couplet Competition. Today we have invited many leaders to witness..."

 After a crackling introduction.

The host began to talk about the key points: "There are a total of 105 contestants participating in our competition today, including 50 students from Qinzhou Art College, and 50 students from a sister school, Qizhou Art College. students, and five couplet masters..."

 The five couplet masters do not need to compete in the preliminary round.

ˆBe directly walked and advance to the finals.

 After all, these five people are masters of couplets.

The couplet masters are not here to compete so much as they are here to be guests. They are good enough to serve as judges for the students.

One hundred students from two schools need to quickly find out which ones they can match among the fifty sets of first couplets, and write their own second couplets. Students who accumulate more than fifty points in ten minutes can Advance directly.

 Finish introducing the rules.

The host reminded:

"Because each of the fifty couplets in the preliminary round has completely different levels of difficulty, the corresponding scores are also different. For example, because the difficulty of the first couplet is very low, you can only get one point if you answer it, but if the second question If anyone can match up, they will get two points directly, which means that the further up the link, the more difficult it will be..."

 Finish introducing the rules.

　　The host said loudly: “Let’s invite our contestants to appear!”

The voice fell.

Lin Zhibai stepped onto the stage among a hundred people.

There is no doubt that Lin Zhibai is the absolute star player among these 100 people. As soon as he came on stage and off the stage, there were countless cheers!

 “Bai Di!”

 “Bai Di!”

 “Bai Di!”

Netizens who are watching the live broadcast are also frantically using "Bai Di" in the barrage.

And now the director is sensible enough to give a close-up of Lin Zhibai, who is wearing the uniform of Qinzhou Art Institute and can't hide his extremely good looks.

Lin Zhibai’s expression remained normal.

On the other hand, some students from Qizhou Art Institute who were on the same stage with him showed surprised expressions.

 “Who is Bai Di?”

 “White Emperor? Is he the emperor’s emperor?”

 “This name is really arrogant.”

 “She seems to be a celebrity from Qinzhou Art Institute?”

 “It’s very popular among students.”

"Ha ha."

　　A student from Qinzhou Art College explained with a smile: "Bai Di is not only a celebrity in our school, but also a celebrity in the entire Qinzhou. In addition, Bai Di is a stage name, and his real name is Lin Zhibai!"

 “Are you the stars of Qinzhou?”

 “It can be understood this way.”

The Qin Yi student nodded at this explanation and pointed at Lin Zhibai's back, "That's the one, the most handsome one. He is super famous in our Qinzhou. Our couplet competition attracts so much attention. It’s all because of him.”

"Is it."

 A student from Qizhou Art Institute laughed and said: "So what about celebrities? This is a couplet competition, and the level of couplets is compared."

 We are all close to each other in age.

The students of Qizhou Art Academy have a sense of arrogance in their hearts, and they will not be submissive just because the "White Emperor" is very popular in Qinzhou.

Furthermore…

Students in top art colleges have seen many celebrities, and some of their seniors, seniors, and even classmates are celebrities.

 Even many of them will enter the entertainment industry and become stars in the future, so I don’t think there is anything surprising.

Some students from Qizhou Academy of Art were aroused with a certain feeling of envy and jealousy on the spot, thinking that when the competition started, they would severely suppress the limelight of this Qinzhou star.

This is normal.

There is nothing wrong with young people being competitive.

While such thoughts were swirling in their minds, many students from Qizhou looked at a tall and handsome figure beside them.

 “When it comes to celebrities, Jiang Tao is also a celebrity…”

 That’s right.

There is also a star among the fifty participating students from Qizhou Art College. This person's name is Jiang Tao. He is very popular in Qizhou and has outstanding literary talent. He should be the same type as the guy named "White Emperor", right?

But that "White Emperor" will definitely not be Jiang Tao's opponent!

 …

 While all parties had different thoughts, the one hundred contestants were assigned to their respective tables.

 Tables are separated by partitions.

  Fifty couplets appeared on the big screen on the stage.

 Four characters, five characters, six characters, seven characters, etc.

They were all first couplets. Lin Zhibai looked at them and found that the difficulty of the couplets got higher as they went up.

 At this time.

The host reminded: "You have five minutes to read the questions."

These five minutes are not the official time of the game, but they are precious to the players and can be used to plan ahead.

same.

 The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were also watching the fifty couplets carefully, and everyone felt very involved.

 “Fuck!”

“I really can’t participate in this competition if I don’t have a good level. I can’t handle the first top line. It’s just the simplest top line!”

“I have some ideas and I think I can figure out a few.”

 “I can handle the first three!”

 “The first three points are low, so I will give them points.”

“The fifth question becomes more difficult. If you answer it correctly, you will get four points!”

"Um?"

 “Look at the last question quickly!”

“This last fiftieth question is actually an additional question. If you answer it correctly, you will be directly promoted. You don’t need to answer other questions!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

 “This question doesn’t look difficult.”

 “Lonely and cold, a widow with an empty window?”

“I don’t think it’s hard to find ideas. I’m loyal to the withering family, okay?”

“Haha, not to mention the forced confrontation between flat and flat, haven’t you noticed yet, all the words in this first couplet are treasure hijab!”

"I go!"

"It really is!"

 “Who is right about this?”

At the scene and in front of the TV, the audience realized the difficulty of the additional questions. All the characters in the first couplet turned out to be Bao Hijab!

 No wonder!

As long as someone can solve this question correctly, they will be directly promoted!

Of course, Lin Zhibai also noticed the first couplet of "Lonely, cold, windowless, and widowed" at this time, and the moment he saw it, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

 Good guy.

 I am familiar with this couplet.

 Really, Jushi Yi An?

 …

 After the five-minute review time, the host said: "Everyone will start answering the questions. We will start a ten-minute countdown..."

The voice fell.

Lin Zhibai quickly started writing.

 There is an inkstone and a writing brush on the table.

 After all, in the couplet competition, it is naturally impossible to give pens or ballpoint pens, and everyone must answer questions with brushes.

Lin Zhibai learned calligraphy when he was a child. Not to mention how good he was, he didn't make a fool of himself, and he just used a very standard pen-holding posture.

 A few seconds later.

Lin Zhibai put the pen aside, closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the ten minutes to end.

Yes.

Lin Zhibai only answered one question.

 Because it is enough to answer this question.

 …

Students from Qizhou Art College represent this side.

Jiang Tao is also answering questions.

                                               .

After answering several questions in a row, Jiang Tao had collected enough points to advance, so he looked at the final additional questions.

 “Lonely and cold, a widow with an empty window.”

 Jiang Tao naturally wanted to answer the additional questions.

  After all, for him, apart from this question, other questions were not challenging.

 But he could naturally see the difficulty of this question at a glance.

 “Give me time, I should be able to figure it out…”

Jiang Tao frowned. In just ten minutes, he really couldn't find an accurate idea for the second line.

 Jiang Tao thought hard.

 …

soon.

 The ten-minute preliminary round is over.

The host said: "The ten minutes are up. Everyone has finished answering the questions. Next, our three judges will judge whether your second line is qualified."

 The three judges are all very old.

Two old men and an old lady wearing glasses, the kind who look very competent and even highly respected.

 The students put down their brushes one after another.

 Some people smile confidently, while others shake their heads helplessly.

Jiang Tao looked a little annoyed when he looked at the last question. After ten minutes, he still couldn't find a way to solve the problem, so he couldn't show off anymore...

If you answer this question, you will definitely become the most handsome guy in the room!

 Because Jiang Tao is very sure:

 Except for myself who hopes to answer the last question, no one else has a chance!
