The judges' office one hour and forty minutes ago.

After several rounds of discussion, the method of setting questions in the top 16 live competitions still has no results. It is true that there are too many people and have a lot of people and have a lot of people to express their opinions. It is inevitable that they will not accept the argument.

"Only the topic essay can reflect their practical strength. A writer with real talent and knowledge must be able to dance with handcuffs, and must be able to do whatever he wants without breaking the rules. The time limit is this shackle that verifies their quality, otherwise the live competition will lose its meaning."

A judge suggested this.

"There is no problem with limited time, but the question limit requires long-term consideration. Although writing is a skill in dealing with words, there are differences in the end. Everyone has their own strengths, and the limit is too dead, and it will only bury talents. For example, you can't let Zhuangzi write poetry and Li Bai write lyrics. We need to give them enough space to play and express themselves."

Another judge expressed different opinions.

Then, everyone discussed these two topics, just like all human discussions, but no one could convince anyone. Finally, Dean Hu slapped the table and said, "I think this is the case. I find three things from the judges, and then take them to the students participating in the competition without making any other requirements. It's just such a question, see how they solve and solve them. Do you think it's okay?"

This proposal took into account the opinions of both parties, which not only reflected the idea of ​​unrestrictedness, but also gave the scope and rules, so everyone nodded in agreement one after another.

This is the hasty origin of the topics of the top 16 live competitions.

...

Liu Jingting's early handover brought a small commotion to the classroom. Everyone took their eyes away from the screen and glanced at Liu Jingting quickly. Without having time to sigh and complain, they immediately returned to their own pile of words.

"Submitting papers in advance" has always been a typical way for poor students to show their elegance and strength. Therefore, it has also become the most hated thing for those poor students and those who are not satisfied with their academic performance.

Because the competition site is ranked according to the audition ranking, everyone knows who the person sitting on the left of the first row is. So everyone knows very well that it is definitely not the abandonment of the poor student, but the attack of the top student. Therefore, everyone became more and more nervous, and the intensity of the keyboard was increased.

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

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

Whether watching TV shows or participating in some class committee elections, Liu Jingting’s favorite part is when the elimination begins, which is one of his many evil things. Because only at that time can the true emotions hidden by people be revealed.

Some cheers, some tears of sadness, and the four words "survival of the fittest" are fully reflected at this moment.

Liu Jingting likes to observe people's expressions and guess people's emotions. The ability he most hopes to have is mind reading. Of course, the kind of mind reading he pursues is not the pure halo skill in YY novels, but rather speculates and judges the thoughts of others based on subtle expressions and subconscious actions.

"What if it was myself who was eliminated?" Liu Jingting thought of this question and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Of course I won't cry with sadness, maybe it will be a little puzzled."

Liu Jingting took a relaxed step and began to leisurely stroll on the campus to see the auditorium, which is listed as one of the ten new scenic spots in the river and sea.

The Vientiane Auditorium is located at the south gate of the school. It is said that in front of the auditorium is a huge lawn. The auditorium and the school gate are therefore facing each other across the lawn.

Liu Jingting walked for ten minutes before walking to the south gate. When he saw the lawn, he found that he had underestimated the capacity of the word "huge". Standing next to the lawn, he was stunned to see a huge football field in front of him.

The auditorium is opposite, and it looks no different from a castle. A few pine trees of varying heights in front of the door stand tall like loyal guards. The shadows of the trees are sparsely cast on the outer wall of the auditorium.

The auditorium is one of the earliest buildings in Vientiane Academy. It was designed by the famous American architect Henry Bett. The overall structure combines ancient Roman and ancient Greek architectural styles.

Liu Jingting walked through the lawn and walked straight to the auditorium. Before entering the door, he suddenly felt the illusion of entering a strict church. An inexplicable solemn atmosphere came to his face with a hint of coolness. Liu Jingting headed forward and finally stepped into the magical building that was famous all over the world.

After walking around, we can basically tell that the plan structure of the auditorium should be a cross, with the southern end being the foyer and the northern end being the stage. The auditorium uses a large dome like an ancient castle, and a huge triangular lintel is piled up around it. The cross-shaped slope top and the copper-faced dome at the highest point are complemented by four giant white marble columns in front of the door. The overall column shape is designed in a standardized and delicate manner, full of vitality.

As the saying goes, seeing is better than seeing a hundred people. Liu Jingting can guess the important role of this auditorium after just a simple turn.

When leaving the auditorium, Liu Jingting inadvertently glanced at the big stage on the north side, and a thought came out of his mind for no reason: "One day in the future, I will stand in the center of the stage to receive applause from the nine thousand audiences."

This thought scared myself, smiled gently, turned around and walked out.

...

At 11:30, other contestants walked out of the professor one after another, and went to the toilet or canteen in different expressions. Liu Jingting accelerated his pace and walked towards the canteen.

"What did you write?"

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

"Ring, where are you?"

"It's also a ring."

“I chose earrings.”

Several people were chatting and ordered food. Liu Jingting was bored from side to side, so he sat down near them, listening to them chat while eating.

"I wrote a short story, which is almost 6,000 words. Time is too urgent and I didn't have time to modify it."

"I wrote prose. I originally wanted to write a modern poem, but after trying it a few times, I found that it was not enough to express my thoughts, so I had to change it to the prose that I was best at."

The next few people's chats basically explained and analyzed their own works. After listening to them for a while, Liu Jingting basically came to a conclusion that each of their arguments was based on "My works are the most awesome."

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

Maybe someone realized the strangeness of their conversation, so he stopped explaining his article in time and raised a common question.

"I usually like to read some Western aesthetic theories. I personally appreciate the innate comprehensive judgment he proposed the most, first the individual split, and then the innate logic is synthesised according to some innate logic. It is very interesting."

The following discussion revolves around Hegel's "small logic", Schopenhauer's "pessimism", Plato's "kingdom of reason", etc.

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

"What, are you watching martial arts?" Several incredible voices sounded at the same time.

"Yes. What's wrong?"

"Martial arts," someone laughed disdainfully, "That kind of thing, to be honest, is considered garbage in literature."

Another retorted: "Martial arts cannot be classified into literature, at most it is a fast food-like text. It does not have any nutritional value."

"I can't agree with you two. To be honest, I think your views are rubbish." The man who claimed to be watching martial arts was obviously angry and was angry. He also treated the other person with his own way. "Martial arts novels also state opinions and can also give meaning. Why can't they be called literature? You look at Western aesthetics. Look at Socrates Plato, OK, there is no problem, but I also have my own gains and summary when I look at martial arts. In fact, if I can sit here today, I am influenced by Gu Yongsheng's martial arts."

"Gu Yongsheng. Who is hyping the live writing?"

"You have seen Gu Yongsheng and understand the whole story?"

"Sorry, I don't have the time and energy to pay attention to these entertainment news."

"Then I'll just put it on the hat of hype, is it inconsistent with Kant's rational attention?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this. You said you were influenced by Gu Yongsheng, so how did he affect you in detail?"

"Remember the topic of the audition?"

"It's a gift."

"Yes. Have you seen "The White Horse Roaring the West Wind"?"

"I've heard of it."

"Then I must know a famous saying in it. Those are all good things. I just don't like it. Have you heard of it?"

"Hmm. So what?"

"You don't have to distance yourself too far. Since you know this sentence and remember our audition topics, how could you not think of the connection between them? What gift is the best? Have you ever thought about it? If you don't like it, you don't want to have a tall building, and you don't have a thousand taels of gold. If you like it, a small bottle is also very precious, that's the reason."

"Slightly white, slightly vulgar."

"Of course, for you literary youths, you must be a novice."

"Who do you say is literary youth, who do you say is literary youth, you are talented, you are talented, and your whole family is literary youth!"

...

Liu Jingting, who was sitting not far away, was overjoyed. He had no idea about the fact that others were prejudiced against martial arts. Even in that world, the rise of popular literature has gone through a long time, let alone this world?

The part that made Liu Jingting feel funny was that the classmate who was said to be literary youth had such a big reaction, as if the literary youth had any connection with the bastard and the bastard. This was really an incomprehensible situation.

In Liu Jingting's view, literary and artistic creators are most taboo to draw circles and divide sects. When they first learned Song Ci, they questioned the division of the bold and sect schools. For example, the leader of the Tenderness and sects also wrote the bold and unrestrained poem "Life is a hero, and death is a hero" like Li Qingzhao, while Su Dongpo, who was respected as the representative of the bold and unrestrained school, wrote "I hope people will live forever and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles apart", and Xin Qiji even sang sentences such as "I search for him in the crowd for thousands of years, but when I look back, the man is in the dim light."

Therefore, the act of forcing circles is to make one's own reading experience uncomfortable. Popular martial arts can accidentally carry the great meaning of life, and Gao Yangshang's traditional literature occasionally cannot be performed.

When Liu Jingting finished his meal, the debate between several people was coming to an end. After a series of debates and reasoning, everyone's differences were of course more irreconcilable.

...

The debate in the canteen has not yet ended, and there was a dispute in the judges' office, but unlike the situation in the canteen, the debate in the judges' office lasted for a few minutes and immediately achieved a rare unification.
Chapter completed!
