Chapter 257: What Kind of Divine Show Is This

Xiaolangjun sat in front of the computer, feeling his blocked train of thought suddenly clear up.

He instantly figured out a plot point he had been stuck on in his next book, "The Great Stick Watchman".

He had been thinking about what kind of words the protagonist should say to be pretentious enough, to have enough class.

The 【Four Sentences of Hengqu】 that Luo Mo spoke on the show perfectly met his requirements for this plot segment!

"These four sentences... I'm definitely using them!" He could already imagine the thrill the readers would feel when they saw them.

As for this variety show called "Classics in China", he also decided to watch every episode.

Luo Mo's identity as the 【National Reading Promotion Ambassador】 instantly made him feel it was well-deserved.

"What kind of spirit must a person have to be able to say such words!" he exclaimed.

"After I finish watching this show, I'm going to stay up all night writing ten thousand words!" Xiaolangjun's dormant heart for writing had awakened.

At the same time, he opened his WeChat group chat and recommended this variety show to his fellow author friend known as 【Cuchangyou】 in his web novel author group.

………

………

The 【Four Sentences of Hengqu】 in this backstage interview were inserted at the perfect moment.

Because next, Fu Sheng, the 【Book Protector】 played by Luo Chun, was about to appear, and Luo Mo, the 【Reader】 who runs through the entire season of the show, naturally needed to be positioned and introduced before the official content began.

During the backstage interview, he said these four sentences without any buildup.

Under these circumstances, it still made everyone who heard them feel incredibly shocked.

At this moment, after the audience finished watching the opening and the segment on Kongzi, hearing these four sentences made their feelings soar!

The bullet comments surged, covering the screen.

"To establish a heart for Heaven and Earth, to establish a life for the people, to carry on the lost teachings of past sages, to open up peace for all generations! Isn't this too fiery?"

"This theme is top-tier!"

"Wow, I suddenly regret not studying hard."

"My sense of mission has suddenly exploded!"

"The inciting power of these four sentences is too terrifying; I'm going to go do practice problems as soon as I finish this episode!"

"I feel like the whole show has been elevated!"

"Is this a show I'm even worthy of watching!???"

"Invincible, this is the highest-class variety show I've ever seen."

"Is this the legendary 【National Reading Promotion Ambassador】?"

"Amazing, just these four sentences alone are amazing!"

The character positioning instantly became clear.

The 【Reader】 played by Luo Mo is not an individual.

He is a 【Perspective】 in the show, but not just a 【Perspective】.

Such positioning makes everything more meaningful.

Still that same saying: "Open up the perspective!"

At this very moment, those in the cultural circle watching the show all fell into silence.

At first, when Luo Mo appeared, quite a few people were extremely unhappy.

Because Luo Mo's role was 【Reader】, their thought was: "We are being represented by him?"

By what right does he represent us!

Especially those who had designs on the identity of 【National Reading Promotion Ambassador】 were even more resentful.

This is a CCTV variety show, the nature of it is different.

You playing the 【Reader】 in it, the nature is also different.

This is actually a kind of honor.

Many people were envious, jealous, and hateful!

Therefore, when the backstage interview segment appeared, many people were waiting for Luo Mo to mess up.

If this were an ordinary entertainment variety show, then just saying a few things would be fine, no harm done.

But CCTV is different.

And Luo Mo's answer made many people feel their heads buzzing and their hearts feeling empty.

Too shocking, these four sentences were too shocking.

This definition given to the identity of 【Reader】 not only contains academic pursuit but also carries with it a sense of social mission.

Some people use the 【Four Greats】 to correspond to the 【Four Sentences of Hengqu】, which are: Great Realm, Great Magnanimity, Great Ambition, and Great Responsibility.

This perfectly displays spiritual belief and value coordinates, and is even richer in enlightening significance for contemporary people.

"We were still waiting to see you make a fool of yourself, how did you end up raising the bar instead?"

"How were these four sentences written?"

"Seemingly simple, and the rhetoric isn't flowery, but that sense of resonance and spirit makes one's heart surge!"

"It was my perspective that was small."

All along, Luo Mo had also caused shocks in the cultural circle.

One was the emergence of 【Chinese Style】, and the other was that poem "Green Jade Table".

It's just that "Green Jade Table" followed a more subtle route, and one can imagine what those 【Mad Scholar】 types who love to argue would say.

But in the face of these 【Four Sentences of Hengqu】, they had nowhere to attack.

Many even felt that with these four sentences, he was worthy of the identity of 【National Reading Promotion Ambassador】.

And as mentioned before, the National Reading campaign will continue to be promoted nationwide for three years.

Every year, an ambassador is selected.

These four sentences will surely bring endless pressure to the next two promotional ambassadors.

When others ask you, the promotional ambassador, what a "Reader" is, how will you answer?

Can your answer compare to these four sentences?

By then, you guys who fancy yourselves intellectuals will be the laughingstock of others!

"How about... let's just forget it?" many people thought to themselves.

A certain human body Yueqi began to beat; it is called the drum of retreat.

……..

……..

The first episode of the program continued to air, and Luo Chun began to appear.

In the program, the Classic reading session after everyone received the stage play script was broadcast.

Luo Mo did not participate in this segment because it was conducted internally by the National Theatre of China.

Just like on Earth, the person presiding over the Classic reading session had an extraordinary status; it was hosted directly by the president of the National Theatre of China.

During the Classic reading session, the president of the theatre had Luo Chun and the others read a few lines of dialogue as a trial.

This allowed the audience to see the terrifying line-delivery skills of the veteran Actors.

It is very strange; simple sentences, when read from the mouths of veteran Actors, just inexplicably carry a sense of presence.

You must know that stage plays are definitely different from filming on set in daily life.

That is directly letting the audience watch a live performance.

This places extremely, extremely high Requirements on line-delivery skills.

After all, when filming, one can still dub later; many Actors do not even use their own original voices for lines, and all are helped by other professional voice Actors.

Line-delivery skill is very important; if one does not pass in this aspect, it will make the audience feel very detached from the play.

Many stars now, when you see them on variety shows, even have a bit of a lisp, or their speaking speed is very strange, or their speech is very slurred, making it hard for people to hear clearly.

Like a certain famous "crazy" actress, what she says is not only hard for people to understand, but also a bit hard to hear clearly.

When the Classic reading session ended, the screen switched to the costume and makeup section.

Once the Actors had their big transformations, the audience just felt it was superb.

As soon as the official stage play content was broadcast, just a single look from the frail and elderly Fu Sheng, played by Luo Chun, left the audience stunned.

"I absolutely praise this acting!"

"Too explosive, this acting is too explosive!"

"This program is also too strong!"

"Wow, this is what you call an Actor!"

"Awesome, there is a feeling of watching masters compete in acting!"

"Those Actor-type variety shows next door, come in and get beaten! Look at what is called a real Actor, and what is called acting!"

"No, no, I must recommend this program to the people around me!"

"Go viral! This variety show, go viral for me!"

"Can the rating really only be ten points? Why can the rating only be ten points!?"

Looking at the market, many true veteran-level Actors do not have enough exposure, nor do they have a stage that allows them to compete in acting and showcase themselves for a long time.

At the very beginning, everyone was accustomed to Actors having acting skills; developing until now, the appearance of more and more trashy Actors has caused everyone's mentality to shift.

It is just like on Earth, where in the last few years, the popularity of more and more veteran-level Actors has gradually begun to soar.

Before, they did not receive attention, had no popularity, and had no buzz.

Everyone did not even know what they were called; looking at their faces, they could only call out the names of the characters they played.

But these few years are different; it has completely changed.

Luo Mo can see that this world is also gradually beginning to have this trend.

What is needed now is actually a phenomenal work that gathers veteran Actors and has explosive viewership ratings!

Therefore, *Dialogue Between Past and Present* is actually also a great platform for these "National Team" Actors of the National Theatre of China.

Some old Actors cannot keep up with the times; if you let them go on other variety shows or reality shows, they cannot handle it.

But *Dialogue Between Past and Present* is different; the thing you need to do is your own professional job.

You only need to—act well!

This is also why these people's attitude toward Luo Mo is also very friendly.

It is not only because they appreciate him, but also because he provided everyone with a good platform, a good opportunity, and a stage they love.

A network of relationships can be perfectly woven under such a win-win situation.

At this moment, the stage play content of the first episode was playing to the part where His Majesty bestows a 【Dove Staff】 upon Fu Sheng.

"This is a 【Dove Staff】 bestowed upon you by His Majesty, to commend your longevity and high virtue."

The white-haired Fu Sheng raised his head; just that one look made the audience feel incomparably moved and incomparably pained.

For so many years, he had sacrificed too, too much to protect the books.

Finally, at this moment, he received recognition.

When he said the two words "humbly accept," the audience felt so miserable.

On the day before Fu Sheng officially lectured on the *Book*, Luo Mo appeared.

It began to proceed to the 【Dialogue Between Past and Present】 segment that the audience was greatly looking forward to.

Luo Mo asked Fu Sheng: "Dare I ask, senior, where does the goodness of the 【Book】 lie?"

Only to see Fu Sheng begin to speak from his childhood, then talk about the *Yu Gong*, and talk about Dayu dividing Jiuzhou.

On another stage, another group of Actors began to portray Dayu taming the floods and dividing the Jiuzhou.

As the names of the Jiuzhou were read out one by one, viewers immediately left comments in the barrage, stating which province they were from and checking in.

Amidst the impassioned and sonorous background music, Fu Sheng walked slowly, leaning on his staff; his steps were faltering, yet firm.

"Vast are the tracks of Dayu, mapped into the Jiuzhou," Fu Sheng said.

"The 'Tribute of Yu' let me know from a young age where the Huaxia Jiuzhou came from."

This was using the 'Tribute of Yu' as an entry point to tell everyone the significance of the 'Book of Documents'.

Fu Sheng turned his head to look at Luo Mo and asked in a deep voice, "Younger generation, why is Huaxia one entity?"

Luo Mo stood beside the old man, raised his eyes, and looked around at his surroundings.

He watched the portrayal of Dayu taming the floods on stage, watched the magnificent landscapes on the screen, and watched the sages of successive dynasties, then replied:

"It has been one entity since ancient times."

This is... one of the meanings of the Classic.

Why is Huaxia one entity?

It has been one entity since ancient times!

"Well answered," Fu Sheng said.

Luo Mo replied, "The teacher taught well."

Fu Sheng took a step with his staff and said, "The 'Tribute of Yu' records the history of Dayu dividing and settling the Jiuzhou."

Luo Mo said, "The 'Book of Documents' records the China of thousands of years ago."

The frail and elderly Fu Sheng slightly raised the staff in his hand and said in an old, hoarse voice, "That is why I could not help but risk my life to protect the 'Book'!"

The viewers watched the content in the program, thinking only: "CCTV is too explosive this time!"

"Teary-eyed; I don't know why, but when Fu Sheng said that line with all his might, I instantly teared up."

"The stage presence of a veteran actor is terrifying!"

"Shocking! What kind of divine program is this!?"
