Across the literary and art world

Chapter 43 First
The hour hand of the clock is gradually pointing to the direction of nine, the originally deserted building is gradually bustling, and the day's work is about to begin. No matter what position or job, everyone must enter the state, in order to survive, in order to live.

On the thirteenth floor, hot tea has been placed on the long table in the lobby at this moment, and the average age of the people present is around 45 years old.

They are the seniors of the current literary world of the Shenzhou Empire. Among them, there are teachers, professors, writers, lawyers, and others. Although their occupations are different, they have two things in common. They are all elite experts in the literary world. They all have a common hope or goal, to promote the development of China's literary world and to train the next generation of successful successors.

They are the jury members of the No.30 Eighth Shenzhou Gold Cup Literary Competition.

Mr. Ma Shu, who was on the phone with the principal, sat in the third seat on the left hand side of the long table.He was looking ahead and listening to the speech of the leader sitting in the main seat.

"Dear colleagues, the 30th Shenzhou Gold Cup Literary Contest of China Empire No.[-] is about to begin. As usual, midsummer begins and golden autumn ends. Now that May is here, there are not many days until the competition officially begins. The audition for my competition has been completed. It has been prepared for some time, and it will be officially opened today. You must have received a lot of calls in the past few days. Ah, haha."

"But this is not important. The important thing is to select works from these recommended people that are eligible to participate in the audition. This is very important. The attitude of each of us is very important. If the attitude is stricter, our workload will be greatly increased. Lighten up, relax, we will be busy this summer, haha. But no matter what kind of attitude, I hope everyone strictly abides by the principle, no matter who recommends it, we only look at the works, and don't let anything else affect it. We will never give in on issues of principle." The leader said firmly.

"Well, the same as before, the list of auditions will be announced when the competition starts, and the questions will be announced at the same time. Therefore, everyone must increase the speed of the auditions, and there are still a few colleagues who will come up with questions. Take the time to come up with opinions and discuss them together, do you have any other opinions?"

A silence.

The leader nodded, "Then this kick-off meeting is over. I announce that the audition for the No.30 Eighth Shenzhou Gold Cup Literary Contest has officially begun!"

There was a burst of applause, "The meeting is over!"

The leader left first and entered the middle office.Others got up one after another and entered the office.

The leader, named Gu Qing, is a professor at the world's three top universities.Honorary dean of many first-class universities, has three doctoral degrees in literature, law, and economic history, and is also a poet and entrepreneur. He was No.30 in the Gold Cup Literature Contest 1 years ago, and was awarded by the United States and Austria at the age of 30. Appointed as an independent non-executive director by a top consortium, at the age of 35, he declined the company's retention. After ten years of founding a breakthrough fund company, he developed into one of the first-class companies in China and one of the top [-] companies in the world.The honorary president of the China Writers Association, whose writers and writers have a great influence on the Chinese literary world and even the world literary world, can be called the Taishan Beidou of the literary world.

And this year is the fourth year that Gu Qing served as the chairman of the jury of the Golden Cup Literature Competition.

After Ma Shu walked into the office, he saw several thick stacks of paper full of writing on the small table next to the desk at a glance, and shook his head, "How many people can stay. The temptation of Jinbei's fame and fortune is too great."

After walking to the seat and sitting down, Ma Shu was taken aback, "Why is this express delivery directly on my desk, and it hasn't been opened yet?"

However, Ma Shu quickly remembered that there was a courier that he had specially ordered to put on his desk without unpacking it.

And the sender of this special courier is Zhang Mingquan.

"I'd like to see what the stubborn old Zhang sent for this competition?" Ma Shu thought in his heart that his hands were not slow, and opened the express delivery.

"Well, the handwriting is very good." Ma Shu had a preliminary impression of the contestant in his mind.

There is a saying that words are the appearance of a person. From this aspect, Lin Feng has done a good job.

"Flying Bird and Fish, what does this mean? Well, the author Lin Feng, the name Lin Feng is so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere, forget it, let's read it first." Ma Shu murmured.

"The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you; the furthest distance in the world...is destined not to be together; the furthest distance in the world The distance is the distance between a bird and a fish, one soars into the sky, while the other dives deep into the bottom of the sea." Ma Shu didn't hold back, and began to recite gently.

"Birds and Fish" is a poem that has been adapted and used countless times by people in the previous life of the earth. The phrase "the furthest distance in the world" is even used as a confession. It is irreplaceable.What was looked down upon in the previous life is still shocking in this life.

The principal was shocked, Ma Shu was attracted, this is just the beginning.

Gently putting down the poem in his hand, Ma Shu's face was full of disbelief, "Old Zhang, you have good eyesight. I finally let you wait."

Ma Shu stood up, walked to the hall, came to the small bell in the southeast corner of the hall, and rang it.

"Clang, clang, clang."

More than ten seconds later, the doors of other offices opened, and the previous experts came out one after another. When encountering a good work or failing to make a judgment, the reviewer would ring the small bell to call everyone to appreciate or judge. discuss.

Everyone sat down in their original positions, all eyes were on Ma Shu, Chairman Gu Qing said: "Old Ma, tell me."

Ma Shu raised the paper in his hand, his tone was a little excited, "This is a classic poem, I don't think it's a big deal, I hope everyone can read it."

"Old Ma, what are you talking about? Eternal Fen?" A fat old man asked loudly.

"Yes, Professor Wang, this bird and fish can definitely be selected as one of the top ten classic poems in the world."

"Oh, Ma, you have such a high evaluation, let me have a look first." Chairman Gu said with a smile.

Ma Shu stretched out his hands and solemnly handed the manuscript to Chairman Gu.

"Flying birds and fish." Chairman Gu read, "very interesting names."

Chairman Gu started to read the text with a focused expression on his face.It took Chairman Gu about 10 minutes to write a poem of less than [-] words, but fortunately, I still have some concentration here.

Chairman Gu did not draw a conclusion immediately after reading it.Instead, he reached for a pen from the pen holder and wrote something on the paper on the table.

After another 3 minutes, Chairman Gu said in a solemn tone: "Comrades, I agree with the old horse's opinion, and it will last forever!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Taishan Beidou again.

"Flying Bird and Fish, it's a very simple name, and it's also a very simple poem, but," Chairman Gu paused, looked around the crowd, and continued: "Speak responsibly, this may be the most important poem in this competition." The biggest Lizhu in terms of respect. If Lin Feng, the author of this poem, can't continue to surpass."

Hearing this sentence, everyone's complexion changed more or less. It's okay for Lao Ma to say that, his standard is generally more lenient, but you Chairman Gu also said that, so there is a problem.

Back then, when Chairman Gu entered the jury for the first time, the highest record was more than 300 works in one day, but at that time there were only nearly [-] articles a day at most. For this reason, Chairman Gu had experience with almost every judge. debate.However, their debates are all about literary works. In order to give a reasonable judgment, it is an academic and progressive debate that does not involve personal feelings. Therefore, the chairman's popularity is still very good.

However, this also reflects how vicious Chairman Gu's judgment criteria are. All of you here are veterans who naturally know that Chairman Gu has high requirements for judging articles, and his words are tight, and it is no less difficult to say praise from him. The sow climbed the tree, and now Lizhu is out, it's crazy.

"Old Gu, are you all right? Don't be a fool. What kind of manuscript is it? It can bear such a high evaluation from you." A 60-year-old professor sitting first on the left of Chairman Gu asked.

Chairman Gu handed over the manuscript with a serious expression on his face, and said, "You will understand after reading it yourself."

The old professor took the manuscript, adjusted his glasses, and began to read it seriously. Except for Ma Shu, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all saw the curiosity in their eyes. What kind of manuscript could make Chairman Gu make such a comment.

Just as everyone remained calm on the surface and doubts abounded in their hearts, the old professor took off his glasses, put the manuscript in his hand gently on the table, and said: "The full text is compared, the imagination is strange, and the emotional explosion is perfect. The ending is perfect and appropriate, and the question again has profound connotations. I have no objection and fully agree with the chairman, this poem should be the first in the audition."

Chairman Gu smiled and said: "Professor Zhou's evaluation and analysis are very appropriate. It seems that this poem is not only shocking me and Lao Ma. Let's spread it and see."

What they were waiting for was your words. The curiosity in their hearts had reached the point where they could kill cats, and they picked up the paper in an orderly manner and read it carefully.

The time passed by the alternation of the hour and minute hands of the clock. More than 20 judges have finished watching "Birds and Fish" respectively, and some have watched it twice.

Chairman Gu took a sip of water, knocked on the table, and said, "Now, the first manuscript in the audition is set as "Birds and Fish", including those manuscripts that have not been reviewed yet. What do you think?"

"agree."

"Such a classic poem just audition is too wasteful, agreed."

"Second." "Agreed."

……

In the end, before all the manuscripts had been fully reviewed and all the work had just begun, "Birds and Fish" was voted first in the audition with a unanimous vote.

Seeing the emotional expressions of his colleagues, and hearing the affirmative vote, Ma Shu smiled, Lao Zhang, this Lin Feng is very good, very good.

　I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep.Finally, all kinds of requests, collections, recommendations, and advertisements.Thank you all.
