Chapter 116

"Judge of the poetry competition?!"

After Ye Xuan received the call, he was slightly stunned.

The poetry level of this cultural desert world is very different from later generations.

There is no poet Li Bai and poet Du Fu, nor is there any romantic figure like Su Shi and Xin Qiji.

Even poetry itself, in today’s Chinese literary world, is simply the least valued literary form.

But in another place, poetry is the precious essence that condenses Chinese culture, and it is the treasure of the entire cultural heritage!

The belly has poetry and books, and the chest hides literary ink.

If there is poetry and books hidden in the heart, time will never defeat beauty.

A few short sentences have exhausted the infinite beauty of poetry!

Just as Ye Xuan’s thoughts drifted far to later generations, he heard the hesitant voice on the phone ring again.

"Mr. Ye, we want to invite you to be a judge of the first Chinese Poetry Competition, but our poetry society’s funds are indeed not abundant, and the appearance fee for you is about one million..."

The voice of President Liu on the phone became smaller and smaller, almost to the point of being inaudible.

At this time, President Liu’s own face twisted.

The person talking to him on the opposite side is the Nobel Prize winner Ye Xuan.

Not to mention the royalties of The Old Man and the Sea and One Hundred Years of Solitude, that is at least tens of millions of income.

Just by brushing Weibo a little bit, he also learned that Ye Xuan sold three copyrights in a row.

Just for the Condor Trilogy, Ye Xuan can at least get tens of millions of copyright income.

Compared with this high copyright fee, the one million he can give is too inconspicuous.

He also knows that the price he gave is not high, but this is the highest price the entire poetry society can give.

Poetry has always been undervalued, which has also led to the entire poetry society not being rich.

Thinking of this, President Liu’s expression dimmed.

But just then, President Liu heard Ye Xuan’s faint voice coming from the opposite side.

"Okay."

Two light characters fell into President Liu’s ears, and he felt that these two words were simply the most beautiful music in the world!

His eyes brightened, and President Liu’s brows stretched out.

He clenched the mobile phone in his hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but confirm again.

"Really?! Mr. Ye, you... you really agreed to us?!"

In excitement, President Liu’s words couldn't help but tremble.

The tone was full of disbelief.

Until a "um" word came from the opposite side again, President Liu clenched his other fist, and his whole body trembled.

"Mr. Ye, thank you, thank you for your support for our Chinese Poetry Society.

I, Old Liu, don't ask for anything else in my life, I just hope that poetry can glow with new vitality in China.

Thank you so much..."

Hearing that President Liu’s voice was trembling, Ye Xuan also felt the excitement of the old president on the opposite side.

After confirming the relevant information, Ye Xuan hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, Ye Xuan received the information sent by President Liu.

The competition venue of the Chinese Poetry Competition was set at the Guozijian Museum in Yanjing, and the time happened to be half a month later.

Ye Xuan quickly booked the ticket and waited to set off at that time.

On the other side, President Liu of the Chinese Poetry Society was still excited after hanging up the phone.

The fourth judge was finally decided.

After this excited mood eased, President Liu also hurriedly arranged it.

The three judges found before were all old friends of President Liu for many years. Although they didn't know what the first poetry competition would be like, they were all people who loved poetry, so they agreed to President Liu’s request.

The four judges have been gathered, and President Liu couldn't wait to announce it on Weibo.

[Official Channel of the Chinese Poetry Society: The first Chinese Poetry Competition will be held at the Guozijian Museum in Yanjing on September 10th. Let’s take a look at the judge lineup. Applause welcome @Dong Qin, @Kang Hui, @Wang An, @Ye Xuan]

Although it is the official channel of the Chinese Poetry Society, the fans of the entire official channel are only 100,000.

The heat may not be comparable to an 18th-line small star in the entertainment industry.

As soon as the news was issued, only sporadic comments and likes were obtained.

It was not until a few hours later that the news of this official announcement was discovered by many netizens one after another.

"Poetry competition?! Is this kind of competition meaningful?! Who will watch it?!"

"Holy crap! My beautiful sister Dong Qin actually went to be a judge?! Or a judge of a small poetry competition?! That’s right, Dong Qin likes poetry and songs the most..."

"Even Kang Hui went?! How can this small poetry competition have such a big face?!"

"Who is this Wang An?! The name sounds a bit strange [Question mark]"

"Holy crap! Why did Professor Wang An appear here?! Shivering, Professor Wang An is our Normal University professor..."

However, when everyone’s eyes fell on the last judge, countless netizens felt that n question marks appeared on their heads.

Ye Xuan?!

What is Ye Xuan doing here?!

It’s no wonder netizens think so, after all, all the works Ye Xuan has published so far are novels.

Although novels and poetry are both forms of expression of literary works.

But different industries are like mountains.

Why did Ye Xuan not be a writer, but turned to be a judge of a poetry competition?!

Just when many netizens were puzzled, netizens with fast hands had already dug out the lives of these judges.

Dong Qin, one of the top ten hosts of CCTV, guest professor of poetry class at a certain normal university.

.... ........ 0

Kang Hui, one of the top ten hosts of CCTV, CCTV’s big brother, has hosted many poetry programs.

Wang An, professor of the School of Literature at Yanjing Normal University, majoring in poetry, doctoral supervisor, postdoctoral fellow in literature.

Ye Xuan, novelist.

After a rough comparison, netizens also reacted.

Professor Wang An of the School of Literature at Yanjing Normal University, he is a doctoral supervisor majoring in poetry, so it is undoubtedly serving as a judge of this poetry competition.

And the two hosts, Dong Qin and Kang Hui, seem to have no relevant experience in poetry.

But one has hosted a poetry program, and one has served as a guest professor of poetry class, which is enough to prove the accumulation of the two in poetry, and it is understandable to invite these two to serve as judges.

However, when seeing the last novelist Ye Xuan, many netizens felt that their eyes paused.

Putting Ye Xuan here, why does it feel like there is always a sense of disharmony?!

Many netizens directly left messages to ask.

"Why did Ye Xuan become a judge of the poetry competition?! [Small eyes, big doubts JPG]"

"There is always a sense of being in the wrong set! [Dog head]"

"I have a bold guess, did Ye Xuan treat this poetry competition as a novel creation competition?!"

"It feels like, I thought I went to a shoe store, but found that this store sells bread [Can’t understand JPG]!"

"The metaphor above is so vivid! Can’t understand this fantasy operation!"

At this moment, not only netizens are muttering, but even the other three judges looked at the newly announced competition judge list and were puzzled ten.
