- #445 - Chapter 442: 440The unknown character Wang Bo! Stir the whole China
Chapter 442 440. An unknown figure—Wang Bo! Stirred the entire Chinese literary world.
In the center of the stage, the camera has been focused on a huge lottery box. This will be used as a behind-the-scenes feature in the uploaded program video so that everyone can see that the lottery is open, fair and transparent.
The host stood in front of the camera and said loudly: “Okay, we now invite Mr. Wang to draw lots first!”
Mr. Wang, he is talking about Wang Jianbin of Shuimu.
The day before yesterday, Wang Jianbin served as a judge on CCTV. Although Ganxi TV did not have a judge this time, it also invited Wang Jianbin to play a role.
Wang Jianbin didn’t hesitate, he stepped forward and waved to everyone, generously took out a straight jump from the box, and generously showed the name written on it to everyone, and the camera also gave a close-up.
The host took the note and said loudly: “The one Mr. Wang won was Yan Boyu, who was the governor of western Jiangxi at that time!”
Wang Jianbin smiled slightly, imitating the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and arched his hands to the people around him.
Zhang Guobin smiled and said: “Hello, Governor Yan!”
Wang Jianbin shook his head. As a master of Chinese studies, he also knew something about Yan Boyu, a name that did not have much space in the history of the early Tang Dynasty. He knew that this was a man born in northern Hunan who was the governor of Hongdu and rebuilt the Tengwang Pavilion. , I have already begun to think about how to play this role well.
Several people came up one after another to draw lots.
Basically, they are teachers, students and alumni brought by several prestigious schools.
Because these are the main stars of this show. Many other big-name stars in the entertainment industry, although their status is not low, are at least first-tier, but if they are allowed to go on stage to recite poems and compete, wouldn’t they be put on the spot? suicide?
So, many celebrities were applauding in their seats at this time, and when the afternoon program started, they would also be the first passers-by to applaud and shout.
A top-tier actor said in a low voice: “It feels like TV shows are becoming more and more different now, and we artists are almost becoming walk-ons.”
Several celebrity artists around him nodded in agreement, but they did not dare to express dissatisfaction or objection to this.
Once they dare to speak out and offend the surrounding cultural leaders, they may be sprayed to death.
If it offends Wang Cheng and word spreads to Wang Cheng’s fans, then they may have no choice but to withdraw from the circle immediately.
Although Wang Cheng has never managed fans, his fan stickiness and fan fighting power are undoubtedly irresistible.
Wang Cheng sat in the rest area and calmly looked at the people who came up to draw lots one after another. He heard every familiar celebrity from the early Tang Dynasty that he knew, and some he had never heard of, and there were also celebrities who had left traces in history.
Obviously, starting from the early Tang Dynasty, the historical trend was different.
When the host called Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng walked onto the stage calmly, and under the gaze of everyone in the audience, he reached out and took out a note and handed it to the host.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter who he draws.
The host’s face turned red. He excitedly took the note from Wang Cheng’s hand and said loudly: “The character from the early Tang Dynasty selected by Wang Cheng is Wang Bo.”
Many people who paid attention to Wang Cheng showed traces of doubts and thoughts on their faces.
Because, basically, they don’t know the name Wang Bo.
Even several experts in the field of history thought hard before they remembered this character.
This is because they did their homework in advance and read a lot of the history of the early Tang Dynasty in the past two days.
If you suddenly ask them who Wang Bo is?
They basically can’t answer it.
After all, historical experts are also human beings, not computers. It is impossible to remember all historical figures clearly and be available whenever asked.
Wang Jianbin also frowned and thought for a moment, then said: “Wang Bo is a tragic character. He traveled all his life. In the end, he became depressed and died of illness. His father was sent to Cochin to be the county magistrate, and he spent a lot of time in Cochin. , and later moved to Hongdu, Bashu, and Chang’an, and was assigned to be the county magistrate of a small county in the northeast. One was in the north and the other in the south with his father. When his father passed away, he went to Jiaozhi to pay tribute, and he also fell ill and died on the way back. .”
Wang Jianbin is, after all, a master of Chinese studies. For such a historical figure that most people don’t know about, he can tell the story of his life in detail.
Wang Hongyi next to him said in a low voice: “Mr. Wang is really knowledgeable.”
Everyone around them nodded in agreement.
Jiang Sihua said thoughtfully: “I don’t know how Wang Cheng will perform as Wang Bo this time.”
They all couldn’t help but think of the characters Wang Cheng played on CCTV last time, including Su Shi, who was not very famous in the Song Dynasty.
Playing the role of Su Shi, the song “Ding Feng Bo” written as Su Shi was rated by them as the number one poem in the history of Ding Feng Bo Ci Pai!
Of course, later Wang Cheng played the role of Manjianghong written by Yue Fei, and they also rated Manjianghong as the best in the history.
Similarly…
The Qingyu Case poem was also evaluated by them as the first poem of Qingyu Case Ci Pai in the history, and was also evaluated by many people as the first New Year’s Eve poem.
After Wang Cheng confirmed his identity, the program team thoughtfully gave him a biography of the character to let him know about Wang Bo. He took a look and found that this character was indeed almost the same person as the Wang Bo he knew. , while watching, while listening to many familiar names.
Those who knew Wang Cheng, such as Lu Zhaolin, Yang Jiong, King Luo Bin, etc., all appeared one after another.
For example, Li Lin, Lu Xuan, Wang Nanhong, Zheng Dongyuan, etc. were all unknown to Wang Cheng in his previous life. There was also a female poet Cui Ying who appeared on the list, and the winner was Shuangxing’s professor Yu Hong…
After all, there are so many people here. If we want to arrange the roles one by one, we can only catch all the celebrities from the early Tang Dynasty.
When Yu Hong drew Cui Ying, Wang Cheng took a curious look at the Fairy Hong whom he remembered from his previous life. After taking one look, he lowered his head and used his mobile phone to search for the detailed information of Wang Bo in the history of this world!
Peng Jie looked at the names drawn one by one and sighed in a low voice: “Almost all of them come from the five surnames and Qiwang. The early Tang Dynasty was the peak period of the aristocratic families.”
Other people who know history also nodded in agreement!
The Lu family, the Wang family, the Shishi, the Cui family, the Zheng family, etc. were the most influential surnames in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they controlled the lifeblood of the entire dynasty. The Li family of the Tang royal family was essentially descended from The lineage of the Li family in Longxi.
Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, Wen Yixiao, and An Keru were all sitting next to Wang Cheng. Seeing teachers, students and alumni from prestigious schools gathering in groups not far away, they felt a little worried.
Han Xiao whispered: “Wang Cheng, they are targeting you this time and are well prepared. The two people beside Mr. Wang over there are contemporary writers who graduated from Shuimu. One is Guo Shun, who has published two poetry collections and two prose books. Collection and a novel, and another named Yu Renhua has published three novels and two collections of essays, all of which have won national literary awards.”
“What President Zhang brought here is not an ordinary Peking University alumnus. He is a top student in the Chinese Department named Tang Yuanpeng who graduated from Peking University with an undergraduate degree and is a postgraduate and doctoral student at the University of Hong Kong. He learned calligraphy from Mr. Lin. He has published two novels and won the Hong Kong Island’s literary awards have good sales and influence in Southeast Asia.”
“There is also the low-key Jiangzhe University. President Peng also brings famous young and middle-aged literary figures. Let’s not talk about Wen Hanyue. A famous talented woman from Jiangzhe University has published a collection of poems on a small scale. There are many people in Jiangzhe. Some readers have become fans. The person he brought is one of the leading figures of the young generation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang literary circles. His name is Jiang Qin. He published a book at the age of sixteen. Now he is forty and has published six books and two poetry collections. He has won national literary awards, and several of his books have been made into films!”
Han Xiao introduced the people over there to Wang Cheng in a low voice, fearing that Wang Cheng would not know the seriousness of the matter.
Han Xiao is from a famous family after all, so he is aware of the current shock in the literary and Chinese studies circles.
It can be said that the literary and Chinese studies circles, which had been dormant for decades, suddenly seemed to be hit by a magnitude 12 earthquake. A huge wave suddenly arose, and almost everyone started to move.
Because, they almost all have the same goal—to defeat Wang Cheng!
Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao and An Keru all heard about it. However, they really felt this grand occasion today at the Ganxi Provincial Television Station.
In almost all regions of the literary world, representatives of the middle and young generations came to participate in this program, and they would all appear on stage with Wang Cheng.
On the contrary, Chen Yuqi, Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang and others who appeared on CCTV with Wang Cheng the day before yesterday did not go to the draw. Obviously they would not compete with Wang Cheng and would only play the role of a passerby who eats and applauds.
Wang Cheng looked calm after listening to Han Xiao’s words, and just nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Actually, of course he could have imagined that such a thing would happen.
After all, he was one of the big guys in those circles in his previous life, so he can certainly understand their thoughts.
It’s just that he can’t tolerate rising stars who can overshadow him.
Han Xiao and Wen Yixiao have some concerns. They are also afraid that Wang Cheng’s high-intensity creation in a short period of time will not keep up with his inspiration.
After all, writing poems correctly is not something you can just pat your head on.
Every good work requires a lot of accumulation and inspiration.
Inspiration and a strong accumulation of knowledge are both indispensable.
Wang Cheng wrote five or six masterpieces on CCTV within an hour and a half the day before yesterday, as well as two absolutes!
This is more work than all the literary people present put together could write in their lifetime.
So, according to common sense!
Just one day later, Wang Cheng once again participated in a similar live broadcast program on Ganxi Satellite TV, and he may not be able to write any good works.
Han Xiao and others are worried that Wang Cheng may suffer a huge blow if he loses to others in front of the live broadcast camera. What if Wang Cheng can’t bear the blow?
A few people were worried, but at the same time there was also a hint of vague expectation.
If Wang Cheng really loses and suffers a blow, his soul may be at its most vulnerable, wouldn’t their chance come?
Maybe they have the opportunity to truly enter Wang Cheng’s heart in one fell swoop, gain Wang Cheng’s approval, and stand by Wang Cheng’s side from now on?
As the only person of the opposite **** who could talk to Wang Cheng at the scene, Han Xiao was actually looking forward to it the most. If Wang Cheng was hit and his heart was fragile, she could justifiably follow Wang Cheng and comfort him by his side. …
but.
Wang Cheng himself didn’t say a word. He just checked the information. After reading Wang Bo’s meager information, he picked up the book he brought and started reading again.
Many other literary figures participating in the show have also begun to look up the detailed information of the characters they play in order to perform more realistically. At the same time, they are also thinking about what works to publish that can fit the identity of the characters they play!
Although they all come with their inventory, there are definitely not many works that match the background of the characters!
soon!
It’s time for lunch.
Wang Cheng didn’t stop, and directly got into the nanny car and left the show. Under everyone’s gaze, surrounded by a large number of fans who were still staying, he slowly left and went to the hotel to eat and take a nap.
The program team is busy going through the script process with each participating character one by one!
Seeing Wang Cheng leaving, Liu Haofeng and Zhou Zhihong both from the program team said nothing and just watched Wang Cheng leave. After all, they had already known about Wang Cheng’s unintelligible work and rest time and had made preparations. , so there is no emotion.
However, everyone else is more or less dissatisfied.
Because, except Wang Cheng, no one else left!
After all, there is not much time left for the live performance at five o’clock.
They rested and ate at the show site, and then continued to learn information and review the script.
Those who know each other privately discuss with each other how to deal with each other at the scene, for example, one goes on stage, while the other claps wildly in the audience to create atmosphere, etc.!
Those big names in the entertainment industry who came for free were eating melon seeds, drinking tea, and watching the literary figures learning variety shows on the spot. They all felt inexplicably a sense of superiority.
Peng Jie, Wen Hanyue, and Jiang Qin sat together and discussed the etiquette of the early Tang Dynasty with each other.
They are all from the Chinese studies circle, as well as insiders from other famous universities, so they don’t want to make mistakes in details and let the other party find fault.
This is completely different from the careless look of celebrities and entertainers in ancient costumes.
Seeing Wang Cheng leaving, Peng Jie, Wen Hanyue and Jiang Qin all watched Wang Cheng leave.
Peng Jie whispered: “Maverick, just like the rumors.”
Wen Hanyue stared at Wang Cheng’s back until Wang Cheng got in the car and then said: “I just noticed that Wang Cheng checked the character information on his mobile phone and then read his own book. It seemed that he had no concern for his own. What to prepare for the role.”
Jiang Qin said softly: “The character he drew is called Wang Bo. If I don’t look it up, I can’t remember who he is. There is very little information, so it makes sense without preparing anything. I just don’t know what he thinks about this character. Do you understand the characters and are you inspired? I’m looking forward to what he can write this afternoon!”
Peng Jie looked at Jiang Qin and smiled: “What about you? How are you preparing?”
Jiang Qin looked around at the people preparing at several other prestigious schools and whispered: “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time!”
Wen Hanyue looked at the name of the character she had drawn and smiled lightly: “I want to try it too!”
Peng Jie showed a proud smile on his lips.
He knew that Jiang Qin had never been an ordinary person, and had always had the heart to challenge the Beijing circle and many big bosses.
However, Jiang Qin has not taken any action because it is absolutely rebellious and will be rejected by the entire circle.
But now…
The opportunity to defeat others in an honest and fair manner is here!
The Jiangsu and Zhejiang literary circles have always been suppressed by the Beijing circle and the southern Pearl River Delta circle. Several generations of Jiangsu and Zhejiang literary circles have wanted to lead the Jiangsu and Zhejiang literary circles to rise, but unfortunately there has not been much improvement.
Because, there is really a lack of heavyweight works to break the constraints of circles and seniority.
