Chapter 229: An Extraordinary Identity

"【Passing down the essence of the classics for a thousand years, lighting the beacon of eternity.】"

A mere twelve characters, yet for some reason, they left Zhong Lin deeply shaken.

Since these words were written at the very beginning of the program introduction, they must be pointing out the nature of the program.

"This Luo Mo either doesn't make a move, or when he does, it's a big one," Zhong Lin couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"If the final effect of this program, its overall design and flow, doesn't live up to these words, then it would be a huge disappointment," Zhong Lin thought to herself.

She continued reading the program introduction and couldn't help but read it aloud.

"【Let future generations read the classics to understand the foundations of governance by the sages, the reasons for the rise and fall of dynasties, and the essentials of personal cultivation...】" The more Zhong Lin read, the more shocked she became.

"What on earth is he trying to do!!!" she shouted in her heart with curiosity.

On Earth, starting with the widely acclaimed National Treasure, CCTV seemed to have found its path and suddenly understood how to carry out cultural and creative promotion.

The China in the Classics, from a certain level, could be considered a relatively trendy program made by CCTV.

The so-called Ancient-Modern Dialogue within it is actually the host, Sa Beinan, witnessing history and conversing with the ancients in the capacity of a modern-day Reader.

Each episode takes a classic as its theme.

For instance, the classic described in the first episode is—The Book of Documents.

In terms of conception, it is to let modern people experience the aspirations of the ancients, promote one's own culture, and feel a wave of cultural pride. As for the ancients, they use the form of stage plays to take a look at the prosperous age of later generations on stage.

If you are interested, you can go to some short video platforms to search for some clips to watch; a few dozen seconds might just make you feel a different kind of shock.

However, in this program, there were also several flaws pointed out by netizens, and Luo Mo had made modifications to these areas.

There were a few places that were truly jaw-dropping, causing this program, which could have been done better, to have a few failures.

As time passed minute by minute, Zhong Lin looked at the project document improved by Luo Mo and finally understood what kind of variety show this was.

"CCTV should really like it, right?" This thought popped into her mind instantly.

Because the entire project document was written in great detail, she had been reading for a long time and hadn't even reached the halfway point.

Zhong Lin rubbed her slightly sore eyes, thinking: "He must be aiming for CCTV, right?"

"Then let me help you," Zhong Lin smiled slightly.

She didn't mind acting as a go-between here.

Because she knew very well how ecstatic CCTV would be after seeing this program!

A program of this stature should be broadcast on CCTV!

"This Luo Mo is truly fulfilling his mission of spreading culture from beginning to end," Zhong Lin couldn't help but say.

The heavy burden of spreading traditional culture, I shall shoulder it alone!

The social impact caused by such an influential celebrity will be terrifying to the extreme!

………

………

Zhong Lin volunteered to work overtime today.

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that she finished reading the project document for The China in the Classics.

In the process of reading, she shed tears several times.

At the same time, her heart was filled with a sense of national pride.

"It is my honor that this program was approved under my watch," such a thought actually emerged in her heart.

She really couldn't understand how Luo Mo thought of constructing such a terrifying variety show.

"Compared to those conventional variety shows, The China in the Classics might not necessarily be so explosive, triggering a nationwide viewing frenzy," Zhong Lin thought to herself.

But among similar types of variety shows, it is definitely the best of the best.

The most important thing is its significance and value!

From the perspectives of class, status, influence, and social guidance, as long as the popularity of this variety show can break out of its circle, the people at CCTV will definitely be thrilled.

"It's just that from the content, the stage play performances inside are really not something an ordinary person can act out," Zhong Lin thought to herself.

"Then, just helping to bridge the gap with CCTV might not be enough."

"I must make CCTV take it seriously, and then have CCTV come forward to invite those powerful actors," Zhong Lin quickly figured this out.

Luo Mo's main identity is a Singer, and with his current energy, he probably can't achieve this.

"It seems—I must mobilize my great-uncle!" Zhong Lin rubbed her red and swollen eyes.

After thinking about it, she did not contact He Ping'an tonight.

Her great-uncle is old, and she was afraid that he would suffer from insomnia after reading the project document for The China in the Classics.

"I'll go find him tomorrow; there's no rush for this one day," Zhong Lin thought to herself.

She picked up her underarm bag, took the car keys out of the bag, and prepared to get off work and go home.

On the way home, she was still thinking about whether to finish the remaining parts of That Rabbit after she got back.

But after she checked herself in the rearview mirror, she dismissed the idea.

"Zhong Lin, are you trying to cry yourself blind?"

This damned Luo Mo is the number one enemy of the people's eyes!

Luo Mo's idea was quite simple.

"In this society, everyone's life pressure is so high; crying out loud every few days is a great way to relieve stress, don't you think?"

……..

……..

The next day, Zhong Lin, with a pair of slightly bloodshot eyes, came to the Review Department to work.

After handling some simple tasks, she picked up her laptop and headed to He Ping'an's office.

"Little Zhong, what is it?" He Ping'an was dropping tea leaves into his enamel mug.

He had the habit of drinking tea, but he wasn't very particular about it, nor would he go through the trouble of using a whole set of tea utensils to brew it.

He would just toss the tea leaves into an enamel mug, pour in hot water, and it would be ready to drink in a moment.

"Where did you put that tea set I gave you to gather dust again?" Zhong Lin brought up this matter first.

He Ping'an glared at her and said, "This is a place of work; don't talk to me about these things."

"Oh, oh." Zhong Lin shrank her neck, placed her laptop on the desk, and said, "There is a new variety show submitted for review; please take a look!"

He Ping'an glanced at her, then asked in confusion, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

She really wanted to reply, "This is a place of work; don't talk to me about these things," but she didn't dare talk back to her elder and superior.

So, she said quietly, "It's... it's just that I watched the second season of *That Rabbit* and this variety show yesterday and cried."

"Oh?" He Ping'an became a little interested.

He put down the enamel mug in his hand and asked, "Before I look at it, tell me first, why do you need me to review it?"

Zhong Lin was at the team leader level and had real authority; she could have taken full responsibility for it herself.

"It's Luo Mo's," Zhong Lin said.

"Is that so?" He Ping'an's interest grew stronger: "Is he going to participate in this variety show?"

"No, he is going to make this variety show," Zhong Lin said.

He Ping'an: "???"

He was instantly bewildered and couldn't understand it.

"Why is he messing around with a variety show?" He felt that Luo Mo was somewhat "neglecting his proper work."

But his curiosity had already been piqued, so he began to read it carefully.

"*Classic of China*?" As soon as he saw the name, he couldn't help but look up at Zhong Lin, then continued reading.

"【Passing down the Righteousness of the scriptures for a thousand years, lighting the eternal lamp for ten thousand ages.】" He Ping'an read aloud.

"Good! This is written well!"

He read on slowly, becoming more shocked and excited the more he read.

Without realizing it, he had been reading for half an hour.

Zhong Lin, who had been standing there the whole time, really couldn't help it and gave a light cough.

Only then did He Ping'an remember her, waved his hand at her and said, "Go back to work; I'll call you when I'm done reading."

"Alright!" Zhong Lin walked out of the office on tiptoe and gently closed the door.

She didn't know if her great-uncle would be as emotional as she was, crying while reading a project document.

In any case, it was better to close the door; one couldn't let the people below happen to pass by and see He Ping'an with tears streaming down his face, right?

He Ping'an didn't call Zhong Lin into the office until just before getting off work in the afternoon.

As soon as Zhong Lin entered, she began to secretly peek at her great-uncle's eye sockets.

"Red! Swollen!" Zhong Lin shouted in her heart.

"Hahaha! Great-uncle cried too! Hahaha!" For some reason, she felt a trace of satisfaction in her heart.

——*I can't be the only one crying in the office*!

He Ping'an didn't notice Zhong Lin peeking at his eyes; he just said, "You showed me this because you want me to personally step in and contact CCTV, right?"

"Ah! You guessed it?" Zhong Lin said.

"What you're thinking, how could I not know?" He Ping'an said.

You girl, I watched you grow up.

His fingertips tapped on the desk, and he said, "This *Classic of China* is indeed suitable for CCTV to produce."

"I already called Lao Liu just now and briefly explained the program to him; he was very interested after hearing it," He Ping'an said.

The Lao Liu he spoke of was the head of CCTV!

If he attached enough importance to this variety show, then all difficulties would no longer be difficulties.

Once CCTV takes action, you know it's the real deal!

The problems regarding the drama segments inside are actually very easy to solve; there's no worry about not being able to hire good Actors!

In fact, for Luo Mo, as long as this point can be guaranteed, everything else is easy to talk about.

He Ping'an smiled and said, "This variety show is actually appearing at just the right time. In the last two years, isn't everyone supposed to be promoting 【National Reading】?"

Zhong Lin nodded; she naturally knew about this matter.

She had even represented the team she was in charge of and written a book recommendation article for the internal Review Department.

This matter wasn't just being promoted in places like campuses; it was just more common on campuses.

But this matter was indeed being carried out all over the country.

He Ping'an said, "If this *Classic of China* can really achieve results, Lao Liu and I will guarantee Luo Mo the status of 【National Reading Promotion Ambassador】."

"National Reading... Promotion Ambassador!?" Hearing this, Zhong Lin couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
