Freelance Artist Chapter 495

Chapter 495 Ask God Li Qingzhao!

 December 20th.

On the sixth day of the Qi-Chu Wen Dou, the Ci competition will be held on the "empty mountain" at the junction of Qi and Chu.

After all, it is the place where Qi and Chu meet. This empty mountain is quite far from the hotel where Lin Zhibai and others live. It took the two continental teams an hour of driving to reach the venue.

 “What time does the game start?”

Lin Zhibai got off the car and looked up towards the top of the mountain, and found that the empty mountain was so towering that it reached the clouds.

 “At three o'clock in the afternoon.”

Hu Wei spoke, somewhat dumbfounded. Lin Zhibai was probably the only contestant who didn't know the time of the competition.

 Like an outsider.

It just so happens that this young man who is confused about the schedule and time is also the most powerful person in the game.

 “That's not enough now.”

Lin Zhibai felt that it was early and wanted to walk around and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Shi Yun reminded: "Let's go up the mountain first. The ropeway has been arranged. The scenery on the mountain is better."

With the height of this empty mountain, even a professional mountaineering team would take an hour to climb to the top. Ordinary people would not be able to climb it in less than three to five hours. Therefore, few people who come to Kongshan now say that they have to rely on their own strength to climb the mountain. Climb up with the strength of your legs.

"Um."

 No one has any opinion.

 While riding the cable car and looking down, if you are afraid of heights, your legs may become weak on the spot.

Even people who are not afraid of heights will be more or less afraid, so the faces of several literati were pale.

Lin Zhibai is a little afraid of heights, but when he looked down, he felt not only scared, but also excited. The people and trees became smaller.

  Arrived at destination.

Lin Zhibai found that this place was much more spacious than he had imagined.

The various pavilions and buildings around them must have cost a lot of money. I don't know whether the profits from tourism should be attributed to Qizhou or Chuzhou in the end.

 “Did you see that pavilion?”

Hu Wei pointed to a pavilion ahead and introduced: "That pavilion is called Kongshan Pavilion. Standing in that pavilion means standing at the highest point of the entire Kongshan Pavilion."

"I gonna go see."

Lin Zhibai wanted to go over, but was stopped by Shi Yun, "Kongshan Pavilion is closed today and will not be opened until tomorrow. Only the champions of Qi Chuwen Dou will be eligible to enter and take pictures tomorrow..."

 Champions?

Lin Zhibai blinked.

Shi Yun also realized that after so many projects, it seemed that there were five champions, but in fact it was Lin Zhibai alone all the time!

Thinking of this.

Shi Yun said with a strange expression: "Anyway, you have to wait until tomorrow to go in."

Lin Zhibai understood: "So tomorrow's game will also be held here, right?"

Hu Wei nodded and said: "Because the final champions want to take pictures at Kongshan Pavilion. This is an old tradition that has been passed down for so many Qi Chu Wen Dou sessions. There are also major project teams from all previous Qi Chu Wen Dou competitions in the pavilion. Where are the photos of the champions..."

Speaking of which.

Hu Wei's expression also became strange.

In previous Qi Chu Wen Dou competitions, the final group photo of the champions was all seven people.

This year's Qi Chu Wen Dou, the final group photo of the champions shouldn't be just three or two people, or even one person?

  There can't be more than three people anyway!

 Because Lin Zhibai has already won the championship in all previous events, including the following competitions, there are only two events left.

Lin Zhibai himself didn't think too much about it. He felt that the design was quite meaningful. The winners of the Qi-Chu Wen Dou finally took a group photo standing at the top of the empty mountain at the junction of Qi and Chu. The hidden meaning of this was very deep.

　　　not only foreshadows…

These champions are the highest peaks of Qi and Chu literary circles.

 At the same time, it also elaborates on the complex relationship between Qi and Chu.

 In the history of Blue Star, there were once two countries on the land of Qi and Chu.

 These two countries are neighbors to each other, but their relationship is very bad. It can be said that there is constant friction.

 Finally one year.

 There was a war between Qi and Chu!

That war was so tragic that almost all the young men of the two countries were wiped out.

It was also after that war that Qi and Chu formed a **** feud. Even though the monarchy was later overthrown, hundreds of years later, Qi and Chu were no longer the difference between the two countries, but the people of the two continents still didn't like each other.

　　　Why is the smell of gunpowder so strong in Qi Chuwen Dou?

Isn't it because of these historical origins?

Although in Lin Zhibai's view, the war between the two places hundreds of years ago does not need to extend the emotions to modern times.

 Just like the Three Kingdoms War on Earth.

 Hundreds of years later, Wei, Shu, and Wu were all gone.

Many of the former native residents of the Three Kingdoms did not even know whether the place they lived in belonged to Wei, Wu or Chu. They had no inexplicable sense of belonging to the place. Anyway, we are all Chinese people...

certainly.

 The reason why Blue Star is experiencing this situation may also be related to the fact that each continent is doing its own thing.

 Although people from all continents do not feel that they are from different countries, they do have a feeling that they are not from the same "origin".

 Hence, some past events have been passed down from generation to generation, forming a common understanding between the two places.

 While thinking.

 The organizers have arrived.

 There was a host who brought together people who participated in the Ci project from both continents.

Lin Zhibai thought he was going to announce the rules of today's competition, but he didn't expect the host to say something out of nowhere:

“Every teacher should be familiar with the history of Qi and Chu eight hundred years ago, right?”

 Everyone nodded naturally.

 They are all well-educated people, how could they not understand history?

The national war between Qi and Chu eight hundred years ago was extremely brutal even in the entire history.

 It's just that the host suddenly mentioned this. Could it be that today's topic is related to the history of Qi and Chu?

as expected.

 The meat show is coming.

The host smiled and said: "Since I am familiar with that period of history, I will make it clear that some of the questions in today's competition are probably related to the **** battle between Qi and Chu eight hundred years ago, so teachers should be mentally prepared."

"for example?"

 Someone couldn't help but ask.

The host said: "I can only remind you that ancient wars were often based on the personal wishes of those in power, rather than the wishes of ordinary people..."

Lin Zhibai was thoughtful.

 Others also have guesses.

There is still some time left in the competition. According to the host's reminder, everyone is already immersed in thinking and seems to have begun to draft some topics.

Lin Zhibai did not think deeply. He continued to watch the scenery. He was at a peak at this moment and looked into the distance. There were clouds and mist. It was really beautiful!

 “Everyone else is preparing for the game.”

 Hu Wei couldn't help but remind Lin Zhibai, but he smiled back: "When I was a child, I knew that the closer you are to an exam, the more relaxed you need to be."

 So and so.

 The time finally came to three o'clock in the afternoon.

 The signal was connected to the scene, and viewers from all over the world rushed into the live broadcast room immediately!

 Chinzhou.

 “Finally I can watch Bai Di write lyrics again!”

"Although not many of Bai Di's poems have been circulated, every one of them is a classic. I still remember his poem "Bu Shuzi Yong Mei", which was jealous of the Qinzhou literati at that time. , it's really inspiring!”

“It's great if a young man doesn't know how to feel sad!” “What I like most is his sentence: “I am a good man in the mountains and rivers of Qingdu…”

“Actually, Bai Di doesn't need many words, he can suppress the world with just one song!”

 “That's right, “Shui Tiao Ge Tou” is really awesome!”

The people of Qinzhou have always been very optimistic about Lin Zhibai. After all, he is truly one of their own.

However, few of Lin Zhibai's lyrics are true, and he relies on "Shui Diao Ge Tou" to suppress everything.

the other side.

People in Qizhou are also discussing.

 “I just want to know if the richest man can win six consecutive championships today!?”

“It's really hard to say this time. They all say that writing is not the best. Poetry really depends on the performance on the spot!”

"Let's put it this way, if Lin Zhibai was in such a hot state that night that he could write "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", then even if King Chen is reincarnated tonight, he would have to consider it!"

 “Cheer for the richest man!”

 There is no need to cheer for Qizhou anymore!

Qi Chuwen fights, Lin Zhibai has helped Qi Zhou win it!

It was during various discussions that the host started today's project introduction:

"We all know that creation requires inspiration. Sometimes the so-called inspiration can burst out in an instant, but more often than not, creation cannot be separated from repeated deliberation and consideration. Therefore, in today's lyrics project competition, we will give a Teachers set aside an hour…”

 An hour of thinking.

 The works that come out will not be bad.

 After all, writing lyrics is a laborious matter, so for a competition, each person can only write three or four songs at most.

"As for today's judges." The host smiled: "Today we invited fifty judges to vote. These fifty judges have a pivotal position in the literary circles of all continents..."

 Fifty judges!

This is the largest number of judges since Qi Chuwen competed in various major projects.

The reason is actually very simple, because literary appreciation is very subjective. If you have to distinguish between superior and inferior, then it doesn't matter if you like Li Bai and I like Du Fu.

 Poetry is like this.

The same is true for words.

 So if the number of judges is large enough, the sampling population will be large enough.

Some people may think that Du Fu and Li Bai are similar, but there are more people who support Li Bai's better poetry writing, so they have to admit that Li Bai is stronger.

certainly.

If there is a work that crushes other people's works at a glance, then the judges don't actually need to think too much. For example, at the previous Qizhou Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition, when Lin Zhibai's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" came out, the rest People don't need to compare.

 It's just that such a famous scene is not easy to come up with.

 So the organizer's considerations are very prudent.

After introducing the judges, the host talked about the topic:

"The scope of the questions probably revolves around the various connections between Qizhou and Chuzhou. We will randomly scroll some keywords on the big screen on the stage. When I called stop, the keywords that were finally locked were the first round The topic."

 The stage is temporarily set up.

 The big screen was carried up the mountain with great difficulty.

 As the host finished speaking, the keywords on the screen began to scroll.

"stop!"

 When the host's voice falls.

 On the stage, the keywords were locked, with two big characters clearly written on them:

Humour!

Given a grudge?

 Many male poets frowned slightly.

　　Two female lyricists participating in the competition showed smiles.

There are many outstanding works on the theme of boudoir in the history of Blue Star, and most of them are written by female poets.

Of course, this does not mean that men cannot write about their grievances.

 Poems about boudoir and grievances can be written by both men and women, and there is no gender limit.

For example, Ouyang Xiu is a man, but in "Butterfly Loves Flowers", the courtyard is a little deep, which is a typical poem about boudoir.

 So it's just a relative term.

 The natural delicacy of women makes them more adaptable to the style of boudoir poetry, so the female poets smile.

 After all, for this topic, their advantages are greater.

However, Lin Zhibai also smiled. He is also a man, but he can invite gods, and there are quite a lot of gods...

 Ouyang Xiu goes without saying.

Perhaps the song "How Deep is the Courtyard" can be used directly.

 Behind Ouyang Xiu, there is also the goddess "Li Qingzhao" in the field of boudoir poetry!

 While Lin Zhibai was thinking.

The host's words are not over yet:

“The two words “boudoir resentment” must have given teachers some creative inspiration. In fact, in the history of Qi Chu, there were many outstanding poets who created wonderful poems about “boudoir resentment”, such as..."

 Shushushua.

 A dozen or so poems about women's complaints appeared on the big screen, all of which were ancient classics.

Lin Zhibai took a closer look and raised his eyebrows. They all seemed to be in the graceful style. He felt very Li Qingzhao!

"The brilliance of these words is obvious to all, otherwise they would not be passed down through the ages, but some people may not know that these words were created by the poets during the Qi-Chu war eight hundred years ago. Maybe their husbands, children, or wives , all because of the war, we were separated from them, even separated from heaven and earth forever, so we must feel heavy when we see these grievances..."

 There was a pause.

The host added: "So, thousands of years later, although we are standing in the present, I still hope to see the grudges of that era in the writings of teachers, such as the story of this woman named Lanrong..."

 Lanjong.

 The wife of a Qizhou official.

 Her husband went off to war with the army, and Lan Rong waited at home.

  The host's intention is to ask everyone to write complaints about their relationship from Lan Rong's perspective.

Fresh.

It turned out to be a proposition composition.

However, obviously the host does not have such great power. It should be a question jointly created by the literary bigwigs from various continents behind the organizer.

 All the poets couldn't help but feel troubled.

 Fortunately, there is enough time, everyone can think slowly, and the host has started timing.

 The commentators in the live broadcast room chatted with viewers from all over the world about the style of the poem, its historical origins and other trivia.

 This is to prevent cold spots.

 After all, lyrics cannot be created instantly.

 As strong as Lin Zhibai, they all had to fall into huge troubles.

Of course, what other people are worried about is how to write this poem about love and resentment brilliantly!

 But what worries Lin Zhibai is:

Is this wave based on Li Qingzhao's "Looking for the deserted air", or her "I'm afraid that the boat on the Shuangxi River cannot carry many sorrows", or the famous song "There is no way to be in ecstasy, the west wind blows behind the curtain, "People are thinner than yellow flowers" even made a netizen angrily complain about his rhetoric "Do you know whether it should be green fat, red and thin"?

Disaster!

too difficult!

Lin Zhibai couldn't wait to take them all out!

But this idea can only be thought about. He must control the output of classic poetry within a reasonable range.

 You can choose any of these classics.

To fight Qi Chu and Wen Dou, one song is enough!
