Chapter 262: God-Tier Soundtrack

The second episode of *Classic of the Classics in China* ends here.

Many in the audience sat there, silent and motionless.

Some felt shocked, some felt tearful, and some felt admiration...

All these different emotions converged, turning into a consensus: "This is a good program!"

Ning Dan sent a WeChat message to Luo Mo overnight, informing him that the momentum of the second episode was even fiercer than when the first episode premiered.

The growth rate of viewership was faster than the first episode, which showed that after word-of-mouth fermented, it still brought great benefits.

At the same time, the popularization of a program and the expansion of its popularity also require time.

After a week of accumulation, *Classic of the Classics in China* reached a new level, breaking the record it had created itself!

Many people said that this variety show had already reached the ceiling of cultural and educational variety shows.

"Then let's build another floor on top," Luo Mo said with a smile in his heart.

………

The second episode of *Classic of the Classics in China* sparked heated discussions online that very night.

Not only did it reach the Hot Search, but it also flooded major short-video platforms.

Many netizens directly recommended this variety show on their WeChat Moments, calling on friends and family to go watch it.

Many schools also began to strongly recommend it, and various media outlets promoted it even more crazily.

For this variety show, whether it was the first episode or the second, Luo Mo had added some new elements into it.

And his last two sentences moved the hearts of countless viewers.

"We cannot resist the tide, but we will always remember the lighthouse."

"It is time for our generation to hold the lamp; two masters, sleep well."

After these two sentences appeared, the bullet comments exploded in an instant.

"Masters, may you live forever in our hearts!" These four words directly flooded the screen, dense and thick.

Many netizens had already cried while watching the program, and then they went to search for online comments and the audience's replies, and were directly—stabbed in the heart again!

The words written by some netizens were truly too infectious.

Someone adapted a segment from the second season of *Year Hare Affair*:

"【One day when the world is free from hunger, after you are full and go out for a walk, if the wind blows through the rice fields, it is me coming to see you!】"

Another netizen left a message:

"Grandpa Yuan has gone to report his work to the predecessors; perhaps he will say to them in heaven: Look, in this Prosperous Age today, we have not been lazy."

"Will Hua Hua go to Grandpa's Rice Field to sniff this and sniff that? Everywhere smells like Grandpa, but from now on, it will never find Grandpa again. Hua Hua thinks of Grandpa on the ground, and Grandpa watches Hua Hua from the sky."

"Grandpa Yuan, I will eat well."

"Suddenly realized, the Cat that Grandpa raised is called Hua Hua, could it be the 'flower' of the rice flower?"

As for *Exploitation of the Works of Nature*, many people expressed shame, saying it was the first time they knew what this book was about, and the first time they knew the author was named Song Yingxing.

"Seeing him with his pant legs rolled up, wearing straw sandals, just like an old farmer, I really wanted to cry. Clearly, he was a scholar-official."

"I blow this program up!"

"How can Luo Mo have so many ideas in his head?"

"Amazing, CCTV is amazing this time!"

At the same time, many people began to get curious.

Now that there has been *Book of Documents* and *Exploitation of the Works of Nature*, then, what will the content of the next episode be?

In fact, the third episode has already been recorded, and Ning Dan's team is already working on the post-production, which should be finished in these two days.

And the Classic that the third episode focuses on is *Records of the Grand Historian*!

……….

……….

Time passed quickly, and a lot of the early scenes for *Sword Fairy* had already been filmed.

Guan Fei was a bit shocked by Luo Mo's efficiency, feeling that this person had a very clear mind and seemed to know exactly what he wanted to film in the end.

He even suspected that Luo Mo had already imagined the final finished film in his head and had already built it all up in his mind.

He himself was not like this; he often had some whimsical ideas in the middle of filming, and then made trade-offs during post-production.

Most works might be much longer before being edited.

Today, Guan Fei, as the Producer, arrived at the filming site early, with expectation on his face.

As mentioned before, in the entire script, the character he personally liked the most was Jiu Jianxian.

But previously, due to schedule conflicts, the Actor playing Jiu Jianxian only had time to film a small portion of the literary scenes at the beginning, and none of the action scenes were filmed.

And today, the action scenes were to be officially filmed.

It is worth mentioning that this drama did not hire a professional Martial Arts Instructor from the outside.

The Martial Arts Instructor was played by Luo Mo himself.

Regarding this, although Guan Fei had seen Luo Mo dance with a sword, that was designed by the Martial Arts Instructor of the *Cat Demon* crew.

He felt that the *Sword Fairy* crew really needed a reliable and awesome Martial Arts Instructor to achieve better results.

Although Luo Mo himself knew some martial arts routines, whether it was sword dancing or spear play, he looked the part.

But could he really design action scenes that would make people's eyes light up?

It is a xianxia drama, after all; everyone has extraordinary power and does not need to follow conventional fighting, so the point is to make it look good, shocking, and stylish.

Therefore, action design is especially important.

Luo Mo said to him: "I want to try it myself first; if it doesn't produce the effect, we will go hire someone else."

Regarding this, Guan Fei had no objections either.

Young people, after all, will always have many ideas of their own; this is very normal.

He felt there was no harm in trying more.

Either one suddenly discovers—turns out I'm so awesome!

Or one will discover—turns out I'm just a piece of trash!

The Actor playing Jiu Jianxian got up bright and early, while Luo Mo got up even earlier than him and was currently giving him his second round of scene coaching.

He held Jiu Jianxian's sword in his hand and even specifically demonstrated several movement details.

However, because they were all in slow motion and lacked coherent execution, Guan Fei couldn't mentally visualize the effect yet.

Moreover, this scene required wirework; only after flying up would one know if there was a feel for it.

The Actor playing Jiu Jianxian had acted in quite a few wuxia and xianxia dramas; he had trained in various film crews and possessed some Basic Skills.

After the scene coaching ended, everyone began to officially film.

The content of this segment was that the people of the Moon Worshipping Cult wanted to take Zhao Ling'er away, and Li Xiaoyao naturally was no match for the villains and fell into a crisis.

Zhao Ling'er was unable to cast immortal arts at this moment and fell into a dead end.

Just at this moment, the still-charming Auntie made a flashy entrance, declaring: "My dozen or so years of Kung Fu Hustle have finally come in handy!"

And then... she was knocked flying.

Just as the three were preparing to continue forward, a sword descended from the sky.

And during filming, the sword was definitely inserted into the ground ahead of time.

The pyrotechnics team was also already rubbing their hands on set, ready to detonate after finding the right timing to showcase the effect of the flying sword landing.

The post-production team would also integrate a portion of special effects at this time; if it were just the explosion, the aesthetic would certainly be insufficient.

The long sword stood in the center between the villains and Li Xiaoyao and the others, directly separating the two groups.

A burst of long laughter came, and everyone only heard the sound and saw the sword, but did not see the person.

Accompanied by this long laughter, a middle-aged man with slightly slovenly attire, stubble, and chaotic eyes descended from the sky.

To be precise, he descended from high altitude in a flat-lying position, and then, his back landed on the hilt of the long sword; the whole person relied on this small support point to lie horizontally in mid-air and stretched a comfortable yawn.

"Cool!" Guan Fei watched from the side, his brain beginning to frantically imagine what kind of special effects should be added at this moment.

One must know that the scene of Jiu Jianxian's appearance in the third episode was one of the famous scenes in the early part of the entire drama.

That kind of dashing, unrestrained manner left an extremely deep impression on countless viewers and instantly became one of the most outstanding supporting roles in "Sword Fairy 1".

"Senior Sword Immortal." Li Xiaoyao stepped forward, as if seeing a savior.

Jiu Jianxian had just finished stretching, and at this moment, he opened one eye and raised an eyebrow to look at him, still lying on the tip of the sword hilt inserted into the ground, and said in a lazy tone: "Is there wine to drink?"

He didn't put the small fry behind him in his eyes at all.

This was the first scene filmed today, and as a result, just the movement of descending from the sky and that look he gave Li Xiaoyao were filmed for nearly 20 takes.

By the time they reached the end, the Actor hanging on the wires felt like he was about to puke.

Jiu Jianxian was someone who wouldn't get drunk after a thousand cups, but he felt like he was truly about to be "drunk."

Luo Mo was different; he was watching take by take, while in his mind, the BGM from every time Jiu Jianxian appeared in the early stages was constantly playing.

"Thinking back, this was also a man who came with his own BGM, and every time, he was acting the coolest." Luo Mo thought in his heart.

To be precise, the reason why those famous scenes of Jiu Jianxian were so dashing was that the Actor's acting and temperament were one aspect, the action design was one aspect, and the musical score was also a very important aspect.

Mai Zhenhong is known as the 【Father of Xianxia Music】, and that is truly no joke.

Do many people have this kind of experience, where you watch some dramas from when you were young and discover that the background music in them is swapped and repeated?

The background music of this drama, you might have also heard in other dramas.

This is not your illusion, because around the year 2000, especially for costume dramas from Baodao, many relied on finished copyright music, with hundreds of fixed tracks placed there, used over and over again.

Although it saves money and worry, the feeling is somewhat lacking in consistency and cannot perfectly fit the theme.

This situation was actually broken by this man in one fell swoop.

Because the music he created not only had excellent effects, but after you turned it into an album and released it, there were actually a large number of people who came to buy it, snapping it up!

In Luo Mo's heart, this person has always been a genius of film scoring.

Finally, Luo Mo thought for a moment and called the Actor playing Jiu Jianxian to the side.

He felt that this person's state was still not good enough, and after hesitating for a moment, he thought, why not let him listen to the BGM to find the feeling?

It's just like how many people wear headphones, listen to hype songs, and then walk on the street, feeling that they are very swaggering and cool.

Music can make people generate a sense of immersion.

This piece of music is incomparably classic, and many listeners left comments below, all of which are very interesting.

"This music is incredible; once you hear it, you feel like you're just missing a sword."

"After listening to it, I suspect Mai Zhenhong has cultivated immortality."

This piece of music is called "Celestial Sword 5 Origin of Wonders".

On the internet, a 【Pipa Version】 later became popular for a period of time; in the words of netizens: "My dog and I listened to this song, and I saw from its eyes that it wanted to ride me onto the battlefield."

The actor playing Jiu Jianxian, Wei Hongming, originally didn't think much of it, having heard for the first time that a director teaches acting by listening to music, until he put on the headphones.

(PS: Second update, asking for monthly tickets!

Those interested in "Celestial Sword 5 Origin of Wonders" can listen to it; perhaps it can open the door to your memories.)
