This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 162 "Let Us Row Our Boats"

The internet is currently very lively.

After the last episode of "We Are Walking on the Road" aired, everyone felt that this was the limit.

After all, a student majoring in mechanical automation and also a part-time celebrity can teach elementary school students the text "Ode to Young China".

Isn't that explosive enough?

Isn't that exciting enough?

The second episode was even more explosive.

Lu Ran wrote an article titled "In a Hurry," and naturally followed up with a poem titled "I Love You, China."

"This article by Cong Cong is really well written. My opinion of Director Lu has changed once again."

"How come he, a science and engineering student, has such good writing skills?"

"Oh dear, Jiang Yaofeng is really blind, he didn't even notice that."

"Does anyone remember that during yesterday's roadshow, someone asked Jiang Yixuan about a cultural relic that appeared in a movie, and Jiang Yixuan couldn't answer?"

"I'll say it again: cultural workers must be cultured!"

"I don't expect everyone to be like Lu Ran, but at least I should be able to do my job well."

The article "In a Hurry" and the song "I Love You, China" became popular online without any promotion.

First of all, it's this song, because it's currently the National Day holiday, and the whole country is immersed in the atmosphere of celebrating National Day.

The topic has been consistently generating traffic on Weibo, and the same is true on short video platforms.

The children's voices of the Sunshine Choir give this song a unique listening experience.

Some specialized media outlets have also started using this song as background music in their videos, thereby promoting the song.

In a secluded corner, Zhou Hao quietly released a rock version of "I Love You, China".

As a result, netizens rated his rock version as inferior to the children's version.

Everyone said, "Teacher Zhou, we appreciate your patriotism, but please don't bother with this song anymore."

This made Zhou Hao quite depressed.

what's the situation?
Is the rock version really that unpopular?

However, there are still people who like Zhou Hao's version.

Meanwhile, the article "In a Hurry" has also begun to spread on various platforms.

On Douyin and Weibo, Lu Ran's original recitation videos are used by many recitation enthusiasts for study.

Netizens, known for their quirky humor, have started to find amusement in this difficult situation.

"Swallows may return after they fly away, but money is gone forever."

"I stayed home and did nothing during the National Day holiday. As I read novels, the days slipped away between the words; as I scrolled through short videos, the days passed by on my fingertips. My days are gone forever."

"I couldn't help but feel a chill and tears welled up in my eyes as I wasted my time."

The article "In a Hurry" touched the hearts of many young people.

In today's fast-paced and competitive society, time is not just fleeting, but passing in the blink of an eye.

I get up in the morning and go to get off work, and by the time I get home, the day is over.

"In a Hurry" accurately touched everyone's hearts.

In addition, the language here is quite beautiful, and some netizens have even extracted sentences from it and paired them with cute or funny pictures to create memes.

The article "In a Hurry" was born on Earth during that special period, and it has a special significance, being given another layer of value by the times.

When Lu Ran recited this article, he didn't expect it to cause such a sensation.

This era is not the same as it was a hundred years ago.

This is an era with the highest cultural penetration rate in history, and also an era of information explosion.

The article "In a Hurry" is more likely to become a viral hit.

If Lu Ran wants to further increase his influence, he needs to produce more outstanding works so that more people can recognize his literary talent.

However, Lu Ran's current influence is enough.

Lu Ran got up on time at six o'clock the next morning.

After working out in the hotel gym for a while, he came back and took a shower.

Li Quan woke up at this moment.

Li Quan was sitting in a chair, smoking his first cigarette of the morning.

Lu Ran greeted him and then went back to her room to take a shower.

The children in the choir also got up one after another, and washed up and got dressed under the teacher's arrangement.

After Lu Ran finished showering, Li Quan came to his room.

“I just received a call from the publisher. They want to include your piece ‘Hurry’ in their book. I asked about the royalties. They said your piece is a kind of poetic prose, a masterpiece of slow literature against fast-food culture. I don’t quite understand what they mean.”

The uncouth agent could not understand the traditional literary world's adoration for this essay.

Lu Ran: "You can arrange this."

The article "In a Hurry" will inevitably be included in a physical book, perhaps a literary magazine, a collection of essays, or even as practice questions for elementary or middle school students.

We'll do a reading comprehension exercise about "Hurry" sometime.

I wonder if kids will still like me after seeing this question?
Lu Ran put on his clothes while thinking about it.

After breakfast, the group headed to Beihai Park.

Although the park wasn't packed with people due to the holiday, there were still quite a few visitors.

The good news is that the weather is nice today, perfect for taking photos.

Staff were already waiting at the entrance of Beihai Park.

When the staff saw Lu Ran get out of the car, their pupils contracted.

Lu Ran's outfit today was more casual, with a shirt underneath and a dark executive jacket on top. The jacket was zipped up, so it didn't look too stiff.

But combined with Lu Ran's temperament, it creates a very imposing atmosphere.

Lu Ran was accompanied by Li Quan, who was carrying a bag. Behind them were the homeroom teacher Li Dan and another teacher, leading twenty-four children.

Tourists around them all turned to look.

"What's going on here?" "Are some local leaders bringing their children here for an event?"

"Why does this guy look so familiar?"

The tourists looked on with curiosity.

Li Quan went up and chatted with the staff, and Lu Ran also went up and shook hands with the staff.

"Hello, Professor Lu Ran."

The person who greeted Lu Ran was a female staff member in her thirties.

"Hello, hello, I'm so sorry to have troubled you during the holiday. This shoot was a bit rushed." Lu Ran was very polite.

The staff member seemed a little surprised.

Lu Ran's way of speaking is quite pleasant.

Celebrities have visited Beihai Park before, and film crews have also used it as a filming location.

But some of the people there are arrogant and don't even look at others.

The staff member smiled and said, "It's alright, we work on holidays anyway. Please follow me."

The group entered the park.

A group of security guards immediately stepped forward to clear the way, while others stood on either side of Lu Ran.

Lu Ran immediately said, "There's no need to clear a path. I'm not some big shot, there's no need to make such a fuss."

The security guard looked somewhat embarrassed and glanced at the park's management.

Lu Ran was adamant; he felt it was unnecessary to have a group of security guards protecting him.

Those fan groups are capable of doing things like rushing forward, but there are no such people among his fans.

Although the tourists around him were watching, they didn't completely crowd the area.

Not really.

He hasn't reached that level yet.

The female staff member instructed, "No need to clear the way, just keep an eye on things."

After the security guards moved aside, no other tourists stepped forward.

Finally, a little girl stepped forward and asked curiously, "Are you Lu Ran?"

Lu Ran: "Yes, that's me."

The little girl looked surprised and hurriedly took out her phone.

Can I take a picture with you?

"can."

When the little girl turned on her selfie camera, Lu Ran stopped in his tracks.

Looking at the screen on his phone, Lu Ran remained silent for two seconds before saying, "Young man, could you turn off the beauty filter?"

The little girl immediately laughed and then turned off the beauty filter.

Lu Ran's looks don't need beauty filters; in fact, if you turn on a beauty filter, he'll look like a ghost.

The little girl left excitedly after taking the photos.

Later, more people came up to take photos with Lu Ran, but there weren't many.

Many people took a few steps back when they saw him wearing an executive jacket.

This is also why Lu Ran wore an executive jacket to the park—to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Sure enough, we encountered very few problems along the way.

Once they arrived at the filming location, the cameraman began his work.

I spent the whole morning shooting all the video footage.

It took Lu Ran most of the day to finish editing the video.

He showed the video to the children first, and they were all very satisfied.

After confirming that everything was correct, Lu Ran sent the video to Sun Shengqiang.

Then it was sent to Shen Qingyi.

The mother who sponsors the Sunshine Choir should have watched the video before netizens.

That evening, Shen Qingyi was lying in bed, applying a face mask while watching anime.

Her phone rang, and she picked it up to take a look.

[Lu Ran: The music video is finished. Please review it, Comrade Shen.]

There's also a video on WeChat.

Shen Qingyi clicked on the video.

The scene begins with a view of Beihai Park, including the park's most distinctive white pagoda.

Music started playing, soft and pleasant.

The song title also came to mind.

Shen Qingyi read out the song title.

"Let us row our oars."

In the video, children wearing matching uniforms and red scarves are playing in a park.

As the scene shifted to children rowing a boat, singing began.

"Let's row our oars, and our little boat will push through the waves!"

As Shen Qingyi listened to this song, she felt as if her soul had been cleansed.

It felt as if I was carried onto the lake and rowing with the children.

A sense of hope slowly rose in my heart.

Shen Qingyi felt much better after listening to the song, as if she had been injected with positive energy.

She sent Lu Ran a message.

"Reviewed and ready for release at an opportune time."
