As an actor, it makes sense for me to know some kung fu, right?

After saying this, Shen Zizhen, one of the grand judges of this competition, shared the submission in his hand with the 'big judges group'.

In fact, it is the same as the audition judges having an ‘internal recommendation’ quota.

Each grand judge also holds five quotas in his hands, and each quota leads to the final trial.

Logically speaking, the general jury will decide which five works will get the quota after reading all the manuscripts.

But Shen Zizhen felt that the song "Birds and Fishes" in his hand was so exciting that he felt there was no need to wait any longer.

Because this poem must occupy a quota, there will be no second possibility.

And after he learned some inside information, he felt very disgusted.

So at this time, taking the lead in sharing ‘Birds and Fishes’ to the ‘Grand Jury Group’ is actually a way of expressing a gesture.

Zhang Xi next to him gave him a thumbs up and said:

"Old Shen, you are really not afraid of offending President Zhou, so you are releasing this poem now."

"Lao Zhang, we are the chief judges of this competition. We want to be fair and just, and we are not here to be flatterers. What should I be afraid of?

Besides, we have just reached a consensus that the song ‘Birds and Fishes’ definitely has the potential to win the championship, so there’s nothing wrong with my recommendation! "

"No problem, no problem, as long as you are happy. Anyway, I am not in your modern poetry circle and have nothing to do with me! If you are not afraid, then I will be even less afraid."

Zhang Xi chuckled.

That's right.

Although Zhang Xi is also one of the ten major judges, he is not actually a member of the modern poetry circle. He is an essayist.

Of course, he still has some appreciation ability, otherwise, he would not be invited by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to serve as the chief judge of the competition.

Before, this guy suspected that Shen Zizhen had some inside operations, but after hearing this, Shen Zizhen did not doubt him in turn, and it was also for this reason.

Even Zhang Xi is not a writer of modern poetry, so what can he do?

The two chatted for a while and were about to leave, but at this moment, Shen Zizhen's mailbox flashed again.

He clicked on it and found that it was his student Xiao Su who had recommended another work to him.

"What kind of trick is this Xiao Su? He didn't recommend any works for several days in a row. Why did he recommend two works to me in just ten minutes? Is this one also a masterpiece worthy of using the quota for internal recommendation?"

Shen Zizhen whispered in confusion.

But Zhang Xi, who was about to leave, stopped now and said with a smile:

"Hurry up and take a look and see what works your precious student has recommended for you!"

Shen Zizhen nodded and clicked on the internal recommendation email.

Soon, he saw the poem title of this manuscript.

"'To the Oak'? It's another very interesting name. Is it really like I guessed that Xiao Su recommended another masterpiece to me?"

Seeing the title of the poem, Shen Zizhen couldn't wait to click on the text of the manuscript.

Then, he and Zhang Xi next to him saw the poem "To the Oak Tree" "

'...roots...clenched in the ground...'

'...the leaves...touch each other in the clouds...'

"Well written, well written. If it weren't for the short length, I would have thought I was reading a wonderful piece of prose!"

This time, Zhang Xi took the lead in commenting.

Hearing this, Shen Zizhen nodded repeatedly and said:

"The poet uses a special perspective to interpret the meaning of love for us. The choice of the two central images of kapok and oak tree is really unique.

Lao Zhang, if I hadn’t seen the song “Birds and Fishes” just now, maybe I would have thought that this song “To the Oak Tree” was the winner. "

Zhang Xi also nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"You are a poet, and your appreciation of poetry is better than mine, but it is beyond reproach. These two poems are obviously extremely powerful works."

"Yes, I personally think that 'Birds and Fish' has the ability to be a stable champion, and this song 'To the Oak' can at least be in the top five, or even the top three!"

Shen Zizhen gave an evaluation.

Zhang Xi said curiously:

"Look who is the author of this poem? By the way, who wrote the previous poem 'Birds and Fish'?"

"Let me see, the contributor of this song 'To the Oak Tree' is 'Qinglian Jushi'? It's obviously a pseudonym."

Shen Zizhen was slightly startled, and then flipped through the information on the previously recommended manuscript.

Then, he was stunned:

"The contributor of the poem 'Birds and Fish' is also 'Qinglian Lay Buddhist'? Were these two poems written by the same person?"

Seeing Shen Zizhen looking at him dumbfounded, Zhang Xi quickly waved his hands and said:

"Don't look at me, I don't know either!

By the way, you are also a famous poet. Have you heard of this ‘Lady Qinglian’?

The person who could write the two poems "Birds and Fishes" and "To the Oak Tree" must not be an unknown person, right? "

“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of the name ‘Lady Qinglian’ before!”

Shen Zizhen shook his head and said:

"Either this is the new pen name of a famous person, or this person is simply a rising star."

"Which possibility do you prefer?"

Zhang Xi asked curiously.

Shen Zizhen thought for a moment and said:

“I prefer the latter one because the style of these two poems has not been seen elsewhere before.

In fact, the styles of the two poems are very different. I am really curious about who this 'Qinglian layman' is! "

"Are you also going to share this poem with the group?"

Zhang Xi suddenly asked.

Shen Zi really thought about it, shook his head and said:

"This song can wait a moment. One song has already been submitted. It will be put into the screening pool together with the other three songs when the time comes!"

"That's okay. By the way, Lao Shen, go and see if there are any comments on the poem you just shared in the group?"

Zhang Xi asked.

Shen Zizhen quickly logged into the big judges group, and then found that the group was quite lively at the moment.

Unread messages directly display ‘99+’.

Zhang Xi, who came over, took a look and suddenly smiled and said:

"Old Shen, it seems you have stirred a hornet's nest."

It turned out that when I took a closer look, I found that all these unread messages were posted five minutes ago.

It just so happened that Shen Zizhen had previously shared the work "Birds and Fishes" before the judges.

After the poem he shared appeared, the group of judges suddenly became quiet.

The previous unread messages were all comments made by several people praising another poem.

Shen Zizhen and Zhang Xi turned forward curiously, and finally came to the source of the unread information.

It turns out that before Shen Zizhen shared ‘Birds and Fish’, another great judge also shared a poem.

This great judge is none other than Zhou Wenhao, the current president of the Modern Poetry Society! He is also the ‘President Zhou’ they called before!
