This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 198, "China in Classical Texts," is now airing!
After arranging these matters, Cai Jiasheng felt relieved for the time being.

His friend's online supporters are always very reliable.

Previously, by fabricating negative rumors, they caused an artist to not receive any work for a whole year.

A year later, the industry had changed dramatically, with new talents emerging.

This would make it very difficult for the artist's career to advance further.

He wanted to interrupt Lu Ran's upward momentum.

When Lu Ran finally has no other choice, Xingyao Media can extend an olive branch and take him in.

Time flies by.

The next afternoon.

On set, Meng Yichuan shouted, "That's a wrap!"

Today's filming is finished.

The filming of "The Beginning" has been progressing faster than Lu Ran had anticipated these past few days.

When filming a TV series, a lot of content is shot, and then it is selected and edited at the end.

With Lu Ran, there's no need to consider so much; basically, anything filmed can be used.

No need to take pictures of the extra ones.

With no unusable footage, a lot of time is saved.

Most importantly, the actors were all very reliable, which also increased the filming speed.

After the filming was finished, Ning Sirou and Wang Peng both ran to Lu Ran's side.

Wang Peng was also invited by Lu Ran to participate in the filming.

He gave the script to Wang Peng and asked him to choose a role from it. Without hesitation, Wang Peng chose the "Happy King" on the bus, who was either live-streaming or recording on his phone from beginning to end.

I must say, Wang Peng brought this character to life.

Not only does he take photos with his phone while filming, but he also takes photos on set when he's not filming, he's completely immersed in the role.

Wang Peng held up his phone and laughed, "Idol, isn't 'China in the Classics' premiering tonight? Let's all watch it together. We'll watch the news at seven and 'China in the Classics' at eight."

Ning Sirou looked at Wang Peng strangely: "Why are you watching the news broadcast too?"

Wang Peng grinned: "Of course, it was Lu Ran who taught me!"

Lu Ran said earnestly, "Young comrade, your awareness is still not enough. You should learn more from Wang Peng."

Ning Sirou pouted: "I'll learn it then, let's watch it together tonight!"

At seven o'clock sharp.

In Lu Ran's hotel suite, Lu Ran and two others sat upright on the sofa, watching TV.

CCTV-1 is currently broadcasting the evening news.

After listening for a while, Lu Ran picked up the notebook on the table and started writing as he listened.

When Wang Peng saw Lu Ran pick up a notebook, he also picked up a notebook from the table and started writing as he listened.

Ning Sirou glanced at the two of them, picked up the potato chips on the table, and ate them while watching.

A few minutes later, Wang Peng scratched his head and looked at Lu Ran with some confusion: "What are you writing? I feel like this part doesn't have any focus, so you don't need to take notes."

Lu Ran showed the notebook to Wang Peng.

"I didn't write anything, I was practicing my calligraphy."

The notebook was covered with the character "永" (yong, meaning eternal).

The character "永" is one that is frequently practiced when practicing calligraphy.

After seeing Lu Ran's notebook, Wang Peng's doubts disappeared, and he stared straight at Lu Ran with resentment in his eyes.

This gave Lu Ran the feeling that he was being watched by Xu Sanduo.

He'll have to get Wang Peng into the Soldier's Assault team sooner or later.

Finally, at eight o'clock, "China in Classical Texts" officially began airing.

"China in Classical Texts" does not have a fixed broadcast time, nor does it require a new episode to be released every week.

This program can't be rushed.

Like today's premiere, it was broadcast directly within the TV series.

Some viewers who are used to watching TV dramas are ready to watch a TV drama today, only to find that what is being broadcast is not a TV drama.

"China in ancient texts? What's that?"

"This looks kind of interesting."

"Forget it, I'll just watch it for a few seconds. If it's not good, I'll change the channel."

The short trailer had captivated many viewers.

Then, the main feature begins.

The scene shows two large doors that are opening, with a beam of light shining through the crack between them, and a figure walking towards the light.

Lu Ran's voice also rang out.

"Our ancestors of Yin had records and classics."

One sentence from him, and the atmosphere changed.

In some families, when Lu Ran came out, the elders would say, "This child is really handsome."

"For thousands of years, our ancestors have been recording our history and telling our stories. Every book here embodies the hard work and wisdom of our predecessors. People have protected it from generation to generation, passing it down from generation to generation, so that the spiritual bloodline can continue to this day."

"Open the classics and converse with the sages of the past."

In this segment, besides Lu Ran's lines and performance, the special effects were also very well done.

The audience was immediately captivated.

The program then officially began.

In the animation, it's a library of ancient books.

Later, previews of the later stages of the story were shown, which piqued the audience's curiosity.

"It seems like there's acting involved."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, this seems different from the propaganda programs I usually watch."

Later, Lu Ran came onto the stage, sat at a desk, and began to tell a story. As he narrated, the actors also came onto the stage and began to perform.

Now the audience understood.

This program isn't the kind of dry propaganda; it features actors performing.

The origins of the Book of Documents are revealed through the actors' performances and Lu Ran's narration.

Confucius and his disciples came onto the stage.

Confucius said, "The Book of Documents is an ancient book, an ancient historical book, with more than three thousand chapters."

The disciple responded.

"There are too many to read, and they are not easy to pass on."

Confucius smiled and said, "Of the more than three thousand chapters, selecting a hundred will make it easier to grasp the essence."

The disciple cupped his hands and said, "The Book of Documents consists of one hundred chapters, and we have been selecting them over several years."

"Why were the hundred chapters of the Book of Documents selected?"

"Of the hundreds of chapters in the Book of Documents, what is its essence?"

These scenes seem to draw the audience into the history of that time.

Confucius said, “By reading the Book of Documents, one can understand the principles of governance of the ancient sages; by reading the Book of Documents, one can understand the reasons for the rise and fall of dynasties; and by understanding the essentials of self-cultivation.”

The disciples recited in unison.

Lu Ran joined in the recitation, and this episode officially began.

"This program is really different. I got goosebumps when they recited that part just now."

"My parents and I watched it with great interest."

"Lu Ran has such a great presence; he can command the stage with ease."

Online, many netizens have already shared their opinions.

Later, the host led the experts in discussing the Book of Documents, telling various stories about it.

Afterwards, the director of the National Theatre of China led the actors to read the Book of Documents.

The actor who plays Fu Sheng, the main character in this episode, is Zhou Zhenghong, an actor from the National Theatre of China, and his acting skills are excellent.

Lu Ran also learned a lot from Zhou Zhenghong.

Before the performance, there is a costume change show for the actors.

An actor dressed in modern clothes stands in front of a mirror, in which he sees himself dressed in ancient costume.

This contrast allowed the audience to feel the weight of history.

It's as if modern people and ancient people are separated by a thousand years, gazing at each other from afar.

The story of the Book of Documents officially begins at this moment.

Lu Ran, a contemporary scholar, introduces himself to the audience.

Emperor Wen searched throughout the land for someone who could explain the Book of Documents. He learned that Fu Sheng was proficient in the Book of Documents, so he specially sent Chao Cuo to Fu Sheng's house to learn the Book of Documents.

Once the main story begins, the audience is completely captivated by the plot.

Audiences in this world have never seen a show like this before.

The story of the Book of Documents unfolds little by little before the audience.

Later, other actors performed the stories from the book, all of them vividly and realistically.

As the propaganda claims, the ancient texts have come to life.

The audience became more and more engrossed in watching.

Fu Sheng sat at the table and told Lu Ran the story of how he protected the books.

When he talked about how he hid the book inside the wall of his house and how he himself became homeless, Lu Ran already shed tears.

Many viewers in front of the screen also shed tears.

But when he returned, the book was already incomplete.

Fu Sheng, with his white hair, was emotional and his face was filled with guilt.

“I have dedicated my life to protecting books, but I never imagined that they would be damaged because of me. I am ashamed of my ancestors and my deceased wife and children.”

Viewers who witnessed this performance were also moved by the acting.

“Fu Sheng did not cry when he talked about the death of his wife and children, but he cried when he talked about the destruction of his books.”

"You acted so well!"

"Thank you so much to the gentleman and his family for risking their lives to protect the book!"

When everyone saw the end, Fu Sheng followed Lu Ran to a modern library.

He learned that the Book of Documents is still in the library today.

Two thousand years later, people are still reading the Book of Documents with satisfaction.

The children in the library recited excerpts from "Yu Gong" together, just as he had recited them when he was a child.

The hour-and-a-half-long reading of the Book of Documents quickly came to an end.

Many viewers were reluctant to say goodbye after the host announced that they would see each other again next time.

"This show is fantastic!"

"Thank you Fu Sheng, thank you to the sages. The story of Fu Sheng was truly moving."

"Programs made by cultural figures are just different!"

Tonight, the online discussion is destined to be about "China in Classical Texts".

That evening, Cai Jiasheng received a phone call at home from the head of the online trolls.

"Brother Sheng, I'm sorry, I'll refund your deposit. I can't do Hei Luran's job."

Cai Jiasheng's expression changed: "Why can't you do it?"

This friend was almost in tears.

"It's not that I don't want to criticize, it's that I really don't dare to."
