The female host held the microphone and said, "Next, I will announce the time limit. After the judges and each contestant have set a question, each contestant will have ten minutes to answer. If no one can answer it within ten minutes, the person who set the question will win and receive ten points."
Right, why couldn't he win!?
Would he win or lose?
The female host immediately gave Zhang Ye a point.
Immediately, everyone looked up in anticipation. Some people even stared at the little old man. They tensed up and prepared to match the second half of the couplet.
Zhang Ye said calmly, "I'm not confident, nor am I confident."
On the stage, the female host repeated, "Let's welcome Teacher Zhang Ye."
"There's no way to cheat in the finals! Don't come up and make a fool of yourself! "
Seeing that Zhang Ye did not forfeit and had come up despite everyone's ridicule, Big Thunder looked very displeased. However, on second thought, he got over it. Wasn't this a chance for them to regain their reputation from the "Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet"? The champion would definitely be Big Thunder's. If that happened, not only would they regain their lost reputation, they would also let everyone know that the Beijing Writers' Association lived up to its name. Furthermore, if Zhang Ye did not obtain a placing, the matter of him cheating would also come to an end. You performed so well in the preliminaries, but you can't even obtain a placing in the finals? If you aren't cheating, then what are you!?
"Couplet Organization member, Teacher Lu Fang."
However, Big Thunder and many others believed that as long as they were given time, they would be able to match it!
Everyone stared at him in shock!
As he was the least experienced and the youngest, Zhang Ye was placed last on the list. The female host looked down and announced, "Let's welcome the last contestant, famous poet, famous bestselling author, famous radio host, Teacher Zhang Ye!" Zhang Ye's title was the one with the most people.
Today, let's see who's more skillful!
Many of Zhang Ye's friends and old colleagues instantly broke out into cheers. It was so liberating! It was so f * * king liberating! Who said that Teacher Zhang Ye cheated? Ah? Who said that Teacher Zhang Ye relied on others to pass the preliminaries? Open your eyes wide and watch carefully! This is called cheating?
On the platform.
Zhang Ye smiled, "Thank you. I understand." This was his first time participating, so he naturally had to know the rules.
However, Zhang Ye did not even look at him. He just closed his eyes to rest.
The contestants entered the arena one by one and sat in the 50 contestant seats.
Zhang Ye knew that his lucky time was limited. He had to answer a question in a few seconds, or he would have to waste a second Lucky Bread. Hence, he replied very quickly, "Lush green trees, lush green!"
Great!
Big Thunder glanced at Zhang Ye.
Xiao Lu jumped up and screamed, "Teacher Zhang, well done!"
But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Ye actually stood up.
Many people's attitudes were not very friendly.
The male host read the name and said, "The runner-up from last year, Teacher Big Thunder!"
"That's enough." The third judge said, "I'll start with the question. Everyone, get ready."
The female host answered patiently, "The microphones in front of the contestants are open. You can just say it directly. Whoever gives a perfect answer first will get one point. Here, I want to say that the answer is perfect. If there is a little bit of imperfection or a slight deviation in the mood, you will not be qualified. The three judges will consider this. If there is a word that the judges are not sure about, the contestant can write the second half of the couplet on the computer board in front of you for the judges to see. But in general, speaking is the most important."
Some of the audience were dumbfounded hearing this!
Big Thunder, Zheng Anbang and the other contestants also thought so. And they could not not think so, or else there was no way to explain Zhang Ye's current prowess!
Zhang Ye did not even think before answering, "Calligraphy in Han Mo, Hanlin Shu!"
The third judge was stunned. Big Thunder and the other contestants were also dumbfounded. Holy sh * t! You're too f * * king fast!
F * * k!
The female host said, "Next, let's invite the contestants to enter the arena."
Just as the third judge was about to say the first half of the couplet, the second judge beside him accidentally knocked the lid off while drinking. The porcelain lid landed on the table with a clatter. The third judge looked over and his attention was diverted. He momentarily forgot the first half of the couplet he was about to say. However, he still had a lot of couplets in his mind that no one in this world could match, so he immediately changed to another one. "Lotus Flower Monk Painting!"
Zhang Ye snapped his fingers, "How do I answer first?"
Was it a success or a failure?
Everyone's applause was sparse and not enthusiastic. This was because everyone's attention was still on Zhang Ye's cheating. Even though the judges and the organizers of the Couplet Organization had said that the report was invalid and there was no evidence, the people naturally believed in conspiracies. They felt that it was not true and that Zhang Ye had cheated.
The countdown began. Five minutes …
It was Elder Qian's turn to give a question. It was still a reverse couplet, "Snow reflects plum blossoms, mei reflects snow."
The male host asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"
All three points!
I'll play with you!
Xiao Lu clenched her fists and stood up, "Teacher Zhang said it too well! All the best! "
But at this moment, just as the third judge was about to open his mouth, Zhang Ye quickly took out the game ring's inventory and reached into it to take out one of the two Lucky Bread. This was what he had in stock from a while ago, and now he could finally put it to good use. This was also the only way Zhang Ye could think of. He wanted to use the Lucky Bread to reverse the situation. He wanted to use the effects of luck to prevent those people from saying a couplet that Zhang Ye did not know! Was there such a possibility? Of course there was. Zhang Ye already knew the effects of the Lucky Bread very well. It was to increase his luck!
At this moment, Elder Qian could not help but smile wryly. He looked at his two old friends from the judges beside him and threw up his hands helplessly. The questions that they had thought about for days had been answered by Zhang Ye in a conditioned reflex in less than a second. The second and third judges looked at each other speechlessly. They had suffered a great blow! They knew that these questions could really be answered by an expert, but they did not expect it to be so fast. He did not even need to think before coming up with a couplet? Isn't this too f * * king ridiculous!? And the third judge's "Monk Lotus Monk Painting" was a dead end question that he did not even have a couplet for. Yet, Zhang Ye had easily matched it. He did not even stutter!
Zhang Ye squeezed out from his seat and strode to the 50th seat. His name was written there. He squinted his eyes and sat down calmly. So confident? Yes, Zhang Ye's current expression was one of confidence after suppressing a great deal of anger. Why did he suddenly have such a change in expression? Because just now, amidst the immense pressure and doubts, under the pressure of the stain that could destroy Zhang Ye's career as an artist, Zhang Ye's mind had an unprecedented flash of inspiration. He suddenly thought of a solution! He was actually not very sure of this solution. He did not even have a 50% chance of success, but now, he had to give it his all! He wanted to take a gamble!
Zhang Ye had no way of knowing, but the anger in his heart made him absolutely unwilling to admit defeat. Beijing Writers' Association, do you think you can defeat me, Zhang Ye, just like this? Do you think such despicable means can consign me to eternal damnation, to the point where I will never be able to make a comeback? And achieve your despicable goals?
Why can't it be me?
The male host looked at the judges, "Teachers, are you ready?"
Zhang Ye only said one sentence, "There are only two outcomes. Win or lose. But in every competition, someone has to win. So why can't I win?" This sentence was said by the famous basketball star of Zhang Ye's world, Kobe. Zhang Ye had always remembered it very clearly.
"Then why are you going?" Hu Fei did not approve of him going.
The Lucky Bread was in effect!
The first couplet was already so difficult?
Following that, the second judge came up with the next question, "Red flowers everywhere, red flowers everywhere!" It was still a reverse couplet. It was also a very difficult question that required time!
Hou Ge and Xiao Lu also said in unison, "You want to participate in the finals?"
Tian Bin also encouraged him, "Teacher Zhang, let those people who doubt you see your ability! Use your actions to shut them up! "
He matched it again?
However, there was one person who did not give them the time. The moment he heard the first half of the couplet, Zhang Ye smiled. He knew that the Lucky Bread had taken effect. He obviously knew this couplet. It was a couplet given by Tang Bohu. He had even said that if anyone in the future could match this couplet, they would be a genius.
"Famous romance author, Teacher Shen Anbang."
When all the contestants heard this, they smiled wryly.
However, the moment Zhang Ye's name was mentioned, many people started to jeer.
It can't be, right? Making it so complicated!
Killing two birds with one stone!
Big Thunder and Shen Anbang glanced at Zhang Ye, who was sitting in the audience, and smiled at each other. He was in the audience? They were still wondering why they did not see Zhang Ye backstage. So it was because he did not plan on participating and had given up? At least you still have some sense! Big Thunder was determined to win the championship!
At this moment, the infuriated Zhang Ye was filled with fighting spirit!
It's not as fast as you!
"Go down!"
"Little Zhang? You … "Big Sis Zhou said in surprise.
The second and third judges also said, "Pass!"
Elder Qian smiled and nodded, "Pass!"
Zhao Guozhou also gave a suggestion, "Little Zhang, you have to consider it carefully. If you really don't have the confidence, then don't go. That way, you can at least preserve a bit of your reputation. But once you go, and if you don't get a placing, then the matter of cheating will definitely be exposed. Everyone will say that you cheated. It would be equivalent to making this matter a reality."
"Teacher Little Zhang! You are too cool! "Hou Ge also screamed!
Zhang Ye smiled, "I will!"
Just as he said that, Zhang Ye said, "Ying yi liu xu, liu yi ying!"
Zhang Ye had used less than ten seconds!
Three questions in a row!
Big Thunder had wanted to be the first to answer, but when he heard the first half of the couplet, he felt helpless. He could only slowly think about it. He knew that this first half of the couplet would be difficult to match in a short period of time. This first half of the couplet looked normal, but it was different when it was read backwards. The pronunciation was the same even if it was read forwards or backwards!
Hu Fei said worriedly, "Didn't you say that you didn't have much confidence in the finals?"
"Peking University's Associate Professor, Teacher Zhou Yan."
Many of the audience members were still skeptical. They felt that it was a coincidence. Maybe Zhang Ye was very good at using reverse couplets, but nothing else!
"Yi!"
