Entertaining Children

The spotlight above the sixth seat came on. Xiao Yao, who was dressed in a simple blue short-sleeved T-shirt, khaki slacks, and white sneakers, also stood up and waved to the audience, helped the ear-hook earphones near his mouth and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Xiao Yao! "

"Wow~" Seeing Xiao Yao's appearance, the audience burst into applause and cheers no less than Tu Yiyuan's.

"I'm a little surprised at the gender ratio today," said Chen Qun, a professor of literature at Yuzhou University, who was on the guest seat. How? But the gender ratio of our contestants and audience in the first two seasons was not so exaggerated."

"I think of a saying, there is a little red among the green bushes, Xiao Yao is a little green among the thousands of flowers, it should be pretty in my heart?" Another guest commentator, Yuan Meng, a professor of the history department of Qingzhou Normal University, joked with a smile.

"I'm very honored." Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"Compared with gender issues, I care more about the subjects Xiao Yao is studying." Liao Qing continued, "As the only science champion today, facing these five liberal arts champions, will you feel that you are Are you actually at a disadvantage, or because of this reason, you will be more relaxed?"

"It's not bad," Xiao Yao waved his hands, "The science college entrance examination also takes the Chinese language test. My Chinese scores are also good, and I have read a lot of poetry since I was a child. As for relaxation, my mental quality has always been good. Very good."

"Since you said that you have read a lot of poems, please use a poem to describe your five opponents on the field." Chen Qun asked Xiao Yao a difficult problem.

"There is poetry in my belly." Xiao Yao looked at the five female contestants, and read a line of poetry with a smile. In terms of appearance, these five are definitely not as good as those beautiful candidates he saw during the art examination of the acting department, but they have a particularly strong bookish atmosphere, which is also very suitable for today's occasion .

"Okay." The only female guest, Xu Man, an associate professor of the Department of Literature at Minzu University, clapped her hands and smiled, "This is from Su Shi's "Farewell to Dong Chuan". It is Su Shi's description of Dong Chuan. But Xiao Yao uses it to describe the scene here The five female contestants on the website are also very suitable. To say that a girl has temperament is a smarter compliment than to say that a girl is beautiful."

"How did I hear that there is a saying that when a girl is not beautiful enough, she will praise her for her temperament?" The fourth commenter who had been silent all the time, Lu Xiyuan, a professor of the Department of Literature of Qilu University, suddenly laughed and joked.

"Ms. Lu, you are making trouble." Liao Qing smiled helplessly and said to Lu Xiyuan, "Are you trying to make the five female contestants on the field confront Xiao Yao?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Cheng Yixin, the second contestant, stood up with a smile and said,

"We know that Xiao Yao is still a famous singer and songwriter, and he must have seen a lot of beauties. In terms of appearance, compared with the female singers Gong Chen, Xu Yuan, and Fan Linxuan who have worked with him, It’s really not as good, we still have this bit of self-knowledge.”

"Is there someone who took the initiative to stand up and speak for Xiao Yao? It seems that, old Lu, your plan to provoke others will not work." Yuan Meng next to him smiled and said to Lu Xiyuan next to him, "The charm of other people's idols is very attractive. big."

"But since he is a singer and songwriter, Teacher Yuan also said that he is a star," Cheng Yixin continued with a smile, "I haven't seen a star singer's live performance yet, so I wonder if Xiao Yao can be invited to the scene Sing us a song? I've heard he has an original song every time he performs in public."

"That's a good suggestion." Several commenting teachers nodded one after another.

"Sing! Sing!" The audience also started booing and shouting.

"Xiao Yao, do you want to satisfy everyone's request?" Liao Qing also asked Xiao Yao with a smile. Although this program originally did not have a talent show, but because it is a recorded program, there is not much time limit, and it is not impossible to add a performance temporarily.

"Today is an ancient poetry conference, and it's not a variety show. Singing doesn't seem appropriate. I think it spoils the atmosphere." Xiao Yao said with a wry smile, "And I thought I was going to participate in the show today as the champion of the college entrance examination. , has nothing to do with my identity as a singer or star, and I didn’t prepare a song.”

"In fact, your status doesn't matter much. You are the number one student in the college entrance examination and you are also a singer. The song "Water Tune Getou. When Will the Moon Come" you wrote for Gong Chen used Su Shi's words to match the tune. That song fits perfectly. This is the occasion today. How about you sing that, or a song similar to it?" Liao Qing reminded and suggested.

"That song is more suitable for Gong Chen's voice. I don't have that taste in singing. It's a pity that Gong Chen didn't come today. I don't have any other songs with poetry as the lyrics." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Yes. Why don't I just recite an ancient poem to everyone?"

To say that in Xiao Yao's mind, there are songs with pure ancient poems as lyrics in his previous life, but most of those songs are also suitable for female voices, such as Yang Shen's "Linjiang Fairy" which is the theme song of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". " and Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" sung by Luo Wen, not to mention that there is no soundtrack at the scene, and they can only sing a cappella. Even with the soundtrack, Xiao Yao consciously can't sing that kind of taste.

"Recite ancient poems, did you compose it yourself?" Chen Qunda asked with great interest, "I read all three of your modern poems "Birds and Fish", "Seeing and Not Seeing" and "If Talent Is Not Recognized" Passed, very good, do you still have original poems?"

"Well... yes." Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded. In fact, Xiao Yao planned to recite an ancient poem casually at the beginning, mainly to show off his three-chamber resonant drama tune, but when Chen Qun said this, Xiao Yao simply prepared to show it with modern and modern poems from his previous life.

"Okay, we are all ears." Liao Qing also said a little excitedly. In the two seasons of the Ancient Poetry Conference, there were quite a few poems written by the teachers themselves in the guest review seats. This is the first time that the poems written by the contestants themselves have appeared.

"It's summer vacation now, and it's quite hot, so I'll come up with a poem called Snow." Xiao Yao smiled, "The name of the poem is Qinyuanchun."

"Qinyuanchun, this is a very common title." Chen Qun nodded and said, "Su Shi, Lu You, Xin Qiji and other famous poets in the Song Dynasty all have poems of this name, let's appreciate yours below. "

Xiao Yao brewed it up for a while, and then began to recite it in his well-established dramatic accent:

"Qinyuan spring, snow. The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only a vastness; the river is suddenly lost. The mountain dances with silver snakes, and the original galloping wax statues want to compete with the gods. It must be a sunny day, looking at the red dress, it is extraordinarily enchanting."

"This poem is magnificent!" After Xiao Yao finished reciting the upper que, several commenting teachers sat up straight unconsciously, and nodded slightly with joy on their faces.

"************, attracting countless heroes to bow down. Pity Qin Huang Han Wu, a little less literary talent; Tang Zong Songzu, a little less coquettish. A generation of geniuses, Genghis Khan, only know how to bend bows and shoot big eagles. It's all over, count the romantic figures, and look at the present!"

When Xiao Yao recited the last sentence, several teachers just nodded in satisfaction, but when Xiao Yao finished reciting the whole poem, several commenting teachers, the host Liao Qing, several other contestants and the audience all cheered. Already a little silly. Everyone didn't respond, and looked at Xiao Yao in disbelief. Throughout the scene, only the reverberation of Xiao Yao's penetrating voice echoed.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao's voice fell for a few seconds, and several commenting teachers stood up from their seats as if they had just woken up from a dream, applauding excitedly.

Not only the teachers, but also the other contestants on the stage and the audience couldn't help standing up, together with the host Liao Qing, they clapped and shouted excitedly.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao bowed to the teacher and the audience as a thank you

"It's such a rare and good poem! The poem is majestic and majestic, and it sounds heroic." Yuan Meng, who sat down again after applauding, was the first to praise, "A man should have such a heart. What a talent! Good manners!"

"This poem really shocked me." Xu Man also said a little excitedly, "It's hard to believe that it was written by the 18-year-old high school graduate in front of me."

"Compared to your modern poems, this poem by Qin Yuanchun is even more inconceivable to me." Chen Qun also gave two thumbs up and said calmly, "The "**** in Xiaque" **********, attracting countless heroes to bow down. "This sentence is very beautiful, and it is a very rare good sentence! In your eyes, Emperor Qin, Han, Wu, Tang, Zong, and Song Zu are all "all the past, counting the romantic figures, and looking at the present", this spirit is good!"

"After listening to this poem, I can use an idiom to evaluate how I feel about you now." Lu Xiyuan shook his head in disbelief and said, "It's astonishing!"

"I'll go." Seeing the excitement of several professor-level teachers, Xiao Yao's heart broke out in sweat, and he suddenly felt that it was a bit too much to bring over the old man's words from his previous life. As a singer of eighteen or nineteen years old, writing such a poem seems to be a bit too much.

"Mr. Lu said that you are a heavenly being. I know you are called a monster by many people. Anyway, you must not be an ordinary person." After Liao Qing was excited, he said curiously, "But I am still more curious. Such a poem, you When, where, and under what circumstances was it written?"

"In winter, on the Great Wall, seeing the heavy snow all over the sky, I express my feelings." Xiao Yao thought for a while, anyway, he definitely couldn't put the experience and stories of the previous Taizu's Long March period on himself, so he could only use the words in the words The sentence explained.

"I remember you have a song called "The Great Wall"?" Liao Qing interrupted suddenly.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "I have been to the Great Wall many times, in all seasons. The song "The Great Wall" was also written after I went to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is the most famous landmark in our country One, it has a long history and profound cultural connotation, and it is also a symbol of the will and strength of our Chinese nation. Standing on it, you will always think about the past unconsciously, and it is especially easy to feel it."

"Emperor Qin, Hanwu, Tang Zong and Song Zu are all historical figures, but I am still young, the so-called young and frivolous, and occasionally arrogant." Xiao Yao finally said a little embarrassed, "I made everyone laugh."

"I think the audience at the scene, like the teachers and me, was deeply shocked and moved by your poem. Just like what the teachers said, you are a very talented and courageous young man " Liao Qing also boasted, and turned to ask the other contestants, "How do you feel about Xiao Yao's poem?"

"I know a lot of people say he's a monster," Cheng Yixin sighed, "Actually, it's the same thing that Mr. Lu said, he's not an ordinary person anyway. I saw it with my own eyes today."

"The teachers have commented on that poem just now, so I don't think there is anything else to say." Another contestant named Jiao Wan also said, "I just want to say that I am very glad that this program is not about creating poems, otherwise I would have nothing to say." I want to go back straight away."

After Jiao Wan finished speaking, the other players couldn't help but nodded.

"Okay, thank you very much Xiao Yao for bringing us such a wonderful poem." Liao Qing turned to start the normal flow of today's program, "But as Jiao Wan said, we are not composing poems today. .So next, we will start the competition among the contestants. First, let me introduce the rules of today’s competition.”
