This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 297 Accidentally Joined the Spring Festival Gala Directing Team
Ignoring Xue Yao's expression, Lu Ran continued, "Qincheng used to be called Chang'an. I think Chang'an is not only the Chang'an of the people of Chang'an, but also the Chang'an of all Chinese people. This program is not about introducing Chang'an to the audience, but about letting the audience know that Chang'an belongs to them."

After Lu Ran finished speaking, Zhang Lian and Xue Yao were both shocked.

Having culture makes all the difference.

Hearing this, Xue Yao could no longer suppress his curiosity.

He hadn't thought much of it before, but as soon as Lu Ran mentioned Tang poetry, he realized that his show was missing something.

You've already introduced Chang'an, how could you forget Tang poetry!

Xue Yao immediately pressed, "How do I add it in?"

There's a specific method to choosing which of the 300 Tang poems to include.

Lu Ran: "Is there a computer here?"

"Wait a minute, I'll bring my computer over for you!"

Xue Yao rushed out of the office in a hurry.

There was silence in the room.

Lu Ran immediately took out a memory recall card and recalled the memory of "Chang'an: Poems of Mountains and Rivers".

I quickly went through the entire program in my mind.

Xue Yao returned just then, carrying his laptop.

He placed the computer in front of Lu Ran and urged him quickly, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Xue Yao felt like he was being scratched by a hundred claws, his heart itching with intense desire.

He couldn't think of a suitable line of poetry for the time being.

Lu Ran didn't waste any time and quickly created a new document on the desktop.

Zhang Lian was standing behind Lu Ran at this moment.

Both she and Xue Yao realized that Lu Ran's suggestion to add Tang poems would bring about a dramatic change to the entire program.

Lu Ran's hands flew across the keyboard.

"We celebrate the passing of the old year and welcome the new in one night."

After he typed out the poem, Xue Yao asked curiously, "Who wrote this poem?"

Lu Ran: "Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin's 'Staying Up on New Year's Eve'".

Xue Yao was immediately surprised.

He had never heard of this poem before.

After writing these two sentences, Lu Ran continued to write about the overall presentation effect of the program.

Thanks to the training he received from the system, he also gained insights into screenwriting.

Writing these things down is not difficult at all.

Time ticked by, and Zhang Lian and Xue Yao stood behind Lu Ran watching.

The document contains not only poems, but also the design of each scene, detailing what each shot should look like.

Zhang Lian and Xue Yao were increasingly alarmed as they looked at it.

According to Lu Ran's vision, there will also be scenes of countless people reciting poetry together.

In the animated version, Li Bai shouts loudly from the top of the palace: "Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky, rushing to the sea never to return?"

In Chang'an, the people chanted in unison: "Have you not seen the bright mirror in the high hall reflecting the sorrow of white hair, black as silk in the morning, turning to snow by evening?"

Both of them could picture the scene in their minds.

This is the real Chang'an.

Finally, Lu Ran finished writing the first draft of the entire program's planning proposal.

As for the specifics, they will have to be adjusted on set, but the basic framework of the program has already been established.

The last poem in the entire program is "The sun shines brightly on thousands of households, as new peachwood charms replace the old ones."

After finishing writing, Lu Ran said, "Let's call this program 'Poetry of Chang'an'."

Upon hearing the name, Xue Yao exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Great name!"

Li Quan, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned.

Weren't you here to talk to the director about the show?
Somehow, during the conversation, Lu Ran ended up making a show on his own.

Isn't this identity a bit off?
Lu Ran looked at Zhang Lian: "Director Zhang, this is my general idea. Everything the production team arranged before can be used. The only things that need to be remade are some special effects scenes."

Lu Ran wasn't worried about the special effects scenes.

CCTV in Beijing has its own special effects team, and the Spring Festival Gala is a top priority for them. These simple special effects are a piece of cake for them.

Anyway, there's still more than a month until the Spring Festival Gala starts, so there's plenty of time.

Zhang Lian nodded: "This is indeed very good."

She then looked at Xue Yao: "I've put Lu Ran's name in the program planning section, you don't have any objections, do you?"

Xue Yao shook his head repeatedly: "No objection."

Since the leader has said so, what other opinions can we have?

Moreover, Xue Yao genuinely thought Lu Ran's program design was quite good.

The show didn't overturn his original design; instead, it modified it, elevating it to a higher level.

Zhang Lian then looked at Lu Ran: "Lu Ran, you've worked hard these past few days. You need to be on-site to oversee the adjustments to the venue."

"It's not hard work. Once my thesis proposal defense and final exams are over, there won't be much to do."

In the workplace, offering ideas is just asking for trouble.

It's different for celebrities.

Planning programs for the Spring Festival Gala, that's something that everyone talks about.

Zhang Lian then quickly had a contract drafted.

After signing the contract, Lu Ran directly joined the directing team of the Qincheng branch venue of the Spring Festival Gala and became one of its members.

When the Qincheng branch venue directing team held a meeting, Lu Ran sat down in the conference room, leaving the other staff members dumbfounded.

These celebrities are usually just guest performers, so why are they sitting with the production team?

Soon everyone's doubts disappeared.

After the proposal for "Poetry of Chang'an" was presented, everyone fell silent.

Anyone with a modicum of aesthetic sense can see that this program is quite well-designed.

The Spring Festival Gala has been criticized every year for the past few years.

The Qincheng branch venue is more independent and involves fewer parties.

If we can produce a good program, it will benefit everyone.

The meeting at Qincheng TV station lasted until the afternoon.

Lu Ran and Li Quan took a car back together.

On the way, Lu Ran checked Weibo.

I don't know which paparazzi was staking out the entrance of Qincheng TV station and published the photos of him visiting Qincheng TV station today.

Recently, Qincheng TV has not had any events, so the Spring Festival Gala directing team is working here.

Marketing accounts are also using the hashtag Lu Ran appearing in the Qincheng Spring Festival Gala directing team.

Netizens are also actively participating in the discussion.

"Is Director Lu going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala? Is he from the Qincheng branch venue?"

"It's normal for Director Lu to be invited since he's from Qincheng."

"Great, great, we'll be able to see Lu Ting on the Spring Festival Gala this year."

At this point, some trolls started to jump out.

"So it turns out I didn't make it to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala after all."

"This is hilarious. They don't even have the qualifications to go to CCTV, but their fans are making all sorts of boasts."

"Who cares about the programs at the branch venues? If you don't go to the main station, it doesn't count as the Spring Festival Gala."

The little black guys have been feeling restless these past few days, and now that they've finally found an opportunity, they're giving it their all.

Especially some of Jiang Yixuan's die-hard fans.

Even after the building collapsed, these fans remained.

Even if my brother goes in, I will stay with him and wait for the day he comes out.

Just as these people were making a fuss, the official Weibo account of the Spring Festival Gala posted a message about personnel changes.

"Young artist @LuRanShaoBa has officially joined the directing team of the Qincheng branch venue of the #2021SpringFestivalGala# as a program planner! The cultural programs he creates will integrate the grand scenery of Chang'an with the culture of poetry, showcasing the new charm of the ancient capital in the modern era, and interpreting the contemporary charm of Chang'an culture from an innovative perspective. We look forward to Lu Ran injecting new vitality into the Spring Festival Gala!"

Lu Ran didn't say anything, but silently forwarded the Weibo post.
