Chapter 211： Lin Kun and Yan Mu

The group matches are all over, and 40 qualifying places have been determined. At this time, there is still one week before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This week is also the time for the finals. This is undoubtedly the best Mid-Autumn Festival gift for many poetry lovers.

There are two biggest differences between the finals and the group stage. One is that the finals are propositions and poems, but the first few rounds of the finals adopt the elimination system.

A total of 64 people participated in the finals. In addition to the 40 who broke through the group stage, the other 24 were directly qualified as seed players in the finals.

These 24 people all have a certain reputation in China, and they are all over 35 years old. According to the official regulations of the Chinese Poetry Association, those who meet the above conditions at the same time are exempt from participating in the qualifiers and group matches. Instead, apply to the official to enter the finals directly.

The official will directly determine 24 places in the list of applicants. Of course, if the official application fails, you can start from the qualifiers and use your true strength to advance to the finals.

These 64 people will be randomly divided into two groups. One game will determine the winner. The winner will advance to the top 32 and the loser will be eliminated. If the two sides are tied, overtime will be played until the winner is determined.

The top 64 advances to the top 32, the top 32 advances to the top 16, the top 16 advances to the top 8, and the top 8 advances to the top 4. The rules didn't change until the top 4 was born.

This shows that if you want to advance to the finals, everyone has only one chance. Most people who have worked so hard to break through the group stage can only travel in the finals, which is undoubtedly much more cruel than the group stage.

In the first round of the knockout round, the top 64 will advance to the 32 game will kick off the day after tomorrow, which is September 9. The second round of the top 32 advancement to the top 16 will be held on September 10th, and the following games will be followed by analogy...

The game time is from 6:30 to 8 in the evening. The difference from the group stage is that when the competition starts at 6:30 in the evening, the official will first give the poem topic for this round at this time, and everyone will make a temporary poem based on the topic. The time is only half an hour. You must upload your work before 7 o'clock, or you will be eliminated directly.

After the work is uploaded, the process is the same as that of the group stage. From 7 am to 8 pm, the netizens will vote to determine who wins and who loses. Of course, if there are obvious problems with the votes of netizens, such as swiping votes, the official has the right to interfere with the results of the game.

On September 12, after the top four are born, the elimination system will no longer be carried out, but four players will compete at the same time, using the points system. From September 13th to September 15th, there will be 3 rounds in 3 days. In each round, the first place earns 4 points, the second place accumulates 3 points, the third place accumulates 2 points, and the fourth place accumulates 1 point.

September 15, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the end of the 3 rounds, the player with the highest points is the overall champion of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club.

The above are the specific rules and procedures of the finals. After learning about it, Li Fan couldn’t help thinking: “It’s really not easy to win the final championship. This is definitely a championship full of gold.”

I heard that last year's championship also participated this year. Among the 24 seeded players, they seem to be called Yan Mu. This made Li Fan excited and full of expectations.

...

September 8.

At 10 o'clock this morning, the official Chinese Poetry Association will broadcast live on the Internet, and the top 64 will be promoted to the top 32. It's just that Li Fan doesn't have time to watch, he is helping on the construction site.

Li Feng, who had just returned to the village the day before yesterday, was naturally pulled over by Li Fan to help.

Now, the whole house has begun to take shape, and the bottom wall is about to be completed. The progress is very fast. However, no matter how fast the progress is, the Mid-Autumn Festival can only be celebrated in the office building.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, workers will also go home on holiday to reunite with their families.

Every day, there are still some villagers watching the excitement around the house, and some tourists will be curious to watch for a while. While Li Fan helped with work, he took the time to chat with the villagers, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

...

Beijing, a private room in a high-end hotel.

"Brother Lin, you came from afar, and I toast you a cup." said a man in a white shirt.

The man is thirty-five or six years old, his face is slightly thin, his eyes are particularly energetic, his hair is slightly longer, and he has a small braid behind his head. It's not so handsome, but it's very stylish. The rate of turning heads when walking on the street should be good.

"Brother Yan, you are polite. Do it!" Opposite the man, there was a younger man. Twenty-five or six years old, with wheat complexion, a tall nose, and shiny diamond stud earrings on the left ear, looks quite handsome.

If Li Fan was here, he would be a little surprised. This younger man is no one else, but Lin Kun, who he had talked about some time ago.

The man opposite Lin Kun was the overall champion of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Society last year, Yan Mu.

Lin Kun was at the entrance of Sansheng Village last time, trying to trouble Li Fan, but he was embarrassed. This was a loss he had never suffered before, and he couldn't swallow this breath naturally after returning. He thoroughly checked Li Fan's identity personally, and he always felt that the kid was a little unusual.

After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the kid really did not move, and he even had a huge reputation in the fairy tales or comics circles. He finally understood why Su Qing would be a little bit interested in that country boy.

What's even more annoying is that the kid has recently made a splash in the field of poetry, and even the bird village of Sansheng Village has been on fire in the tourism industry.

This made Lin Kun greatly annoyed, but there was nothing to do. The force he was good at couldn't help that kid, and even with Su Qing, he didn't dare to go too far. Even if he dared to rectify the fire, he was not sure to rectify the kid. Li Fan's wicked performance at the entrance of Sansheng Village that day made him faintly awed.

If Wu is not good, then he can only write a message, and even if he is just a literary person, he can't do it.

However, his failure does not mean that others can't. Now, he finally caught such an opportunity.

He has been with Yan Mu for many years, and since the kid ran restlessly to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Fair, he was lucky to enter the finals. Then just use the hand of the word shepherd to teach that kid a meal.

Who is Yan Mu? That was the overall champion of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Society last year. His own strength is not less than that of famous poets such as Bai Yi and Liu Yuan. When the qualifications are sufficient, his status will be similar to that of the current Bai Yi, Liu Yuan and others.

No matter how good Li Fan is, can he be better than Yan Mu?

Lin Kun was extremely annoyed at the thought of Li Fan's boy constantly showing up in front of Su Qing's eyes. This time, the kid will have to fight for anything.

"Brother Yan, the kid Li Fan just talked about, but I'm begging you." Lin Kun said with a toast again.

After Yan Mu also toasted to a toast, he smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don’t worry, if that kid makes you unhappy, he is naturally my enemy. I have also read his previous works carefully. To be honest, his strength Very strong. If I write landscape and pastoral poems, even I am not sure that I will win. However, the finals are poems on the topic, and the time is only half an hour. In this way, he will not worry about it."

Lin Kun said: "This is natural. He must have written those poems after a long period of careful study. Even if he writes landscape and pastoral poems, he may not be able to write anything good in half an hour. Poetry, let alone other categories."

Yan Mu laughed and said: "It seems that Brother Lin has also studied carefully, and that is the fact. Come, let's have another drink!"

After Lin Kun had a drink, he also smiled and said, "Although I can't write good poems, I still understand the truth."

Yan Mu said again: "But I hope he will not be eliminated in advance before he meets me."

Lin Kun said in his heart: "If it's better to be eliminated by others, it would be even more embarrassing." But he said: "Then we wish him good luck."

After speaking, both of them laughed and raised their glasses again...
