The program "China Treasures" will feature the recent nationwide attention-grabbing "Young General's Descending Horse" (pictured). The guest invited is Wen Qianqian. The simultaneous release of these two pieces of news sent the entire internet into a frenzy:
[Wow, Wen Qianqian is so awesome! "Chinese Treasures" is a program co-produced with the National Museum of China. You don't get to be on this kind of program just anytime. Once again, I envy her career-building fans. I'm so happy.]
This kind of program clearly shows someone directly appointed by the authorities, indicating that even the higher-ups think Wen Zai has a good image and is capable of handling such a big responsibility. The above person is right. As a fan, I'm so happy!
The last person to participate in a similar event was Zhang Yan, who won Best Actress six months after appearing on the show, rocketing directly from a third-tier star to an internationally recognized star. This shows just how much national recognition can boost a star's career. It's a shame Wen Qianqian isn't a star anymore; otherwise, with this opportunity, she'd have been one of the top female stars in China.
If you don't want to be a female celebrity, then don't be one. Others treasure the celebrity profession, but Wen Zai doesn't even look at it. Why would you want to be a celebrity? Wouldn't it be nice if you could just ascend to the rank of police inspector?
[To reply to the previous post, simply participating in the show certainly won't lead to a promotion, but it does help with awards. I've heard from professionals that Wen Qianqian's awards and achievements are among the best in the industry, and she might actually be able to achieve the rank of Inspector in a few years.]
[Oh my god, how come my Wen is so outstanding? Mommy is so proud of you! ]
The more I listen, the more I feel like being a career fan of Wen Qianqian is such a joy. Wow, is it too late to join now?
Three days later, Wen Qianqian appeared on time at the taping of "Treasures of China." Unlike programs like "Fa Shuo Xian," this show is more of a variety show and sometimes involves interaction with the audience. So, even though she was the only guest on this episode, the show was packed with lucky viewers who had shared promotional posts and won prizes in the lucky draw.
So when she appeared on the show in a light-colored uniform, the audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers:
"Smell cub, smell cub, look here!"
"Qianqian, we love you!"
"Wow, Wen Qianqian is even more beautiful in person than on TV. She's so pretty, with a small face, great skin, and an amazing figure! She's so beautiful, I want to be her fan!"
"She's so beautiful, passed the civil service exam, has outstanding performance, and is highly valued by her superiors. How can such a perfect person exist in the world?"
The host was stunned when he saw Wen Qianqian, who was bright and beautiful with a slim figure and a ponytail in her uniform. He immediately stepped forward and greeted her, "Hello, Officer Wen."
"Hello, host." Wen Qianqian smiled confidently and generously.
The host was in high spirits. Having heard she was a police officer, he had been a bit worried about whether she would be too serious and put pressure on people, or perhaps too nervous and stage frightened. But when he saw her in person, he found her to be beautiful and generous, with a smile that occasionally crossed her face, making him feel relaxed and happy.
"Hello, Officer Wen," the host said with a smile, "Say hello to our audience."
Wen Qianqian nodded, put her hand to her cheek, waved it, and smiled broadly: "Hello everyone in the audience, I am Wen Qianqian, a police officer from District C of the Imperial Capital."
After he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause:
"Ahhhhhhh, I finally see him in person. Mama loves you!"
"Wen Zai is so sweet. I always thought she was cool, but I didn't expect she had such a sweet side. Her smile is so sweet!"
The host was stunned by the audience's enthusiasm and looked at Wen Qianqian in amazement. "This is the episode with the loudest cheers from the audience in all the episodes of 'Treasures of China' that I've hosted. It seems Officer Wen is really popular!"
"Of course, she is Wen Qianqian!" An audience member suddenly shouted, and then everyone around laughed.
Wen Qianqian couldn't help but curl her lips: "Calling me officer sounds a bit serious, just call me Qianqian."
The host shook his head, feeling such a relaxed atmosphere for the first time. Although their audience were drawn from the reposted Weibo posts, it seemed as if they were all fans of Wen Qianqian and loved her very much.
Wen Qianqian herself was very casual, and the whole show was relaxed and comfortable.
The host smiled and held up the microphone: "I heard that Qianqian participated in the auction of our national treasure map. She was lucky enough to be selected and get up close and personal with the national treasure. How did you feel at that time? Were you excited?"
Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I was quite excited. The moment I saw that painting, it was like seeing 1,500 years of Chinese history quickly passing by before my eyes."
"People today cannot see the moon of the past, but this moon once shone on the ancients. It's magical to think that I have viewed this painting with historical figures from thousands of years ago."
"Well said!" the host nodded. "So, this is the significance of cultural relics. Thousands of years later, we and the ancients are actually looking at the same moon and the same painting. Time and space overlap here. We can observe and reflect on cultural relics, reconstruct the lives of the ancients hundreds and thousands of years ago, and draw wisdom from ancient civilizations."
After saying this, he looked at Wen Qianqian and the audience and said, "In order to better showcase the painting to the world, our program team has specially produced a short stage play to tell the story of the national treasure's past and present."
"Please invite Qianqian to sit in the middle and enjoy this legendary journey of our national treasure with our audience."
After she finished speaking, all the lights on the stage went out, and the host invited her to the front guest seat to watch the stage play that was specially designed and rehearsed for the show.
Two minutes later, the lights on the stage slowly came on, and a man dressed in a dragon robe, resembling an emperor, said to the ministers around him: "This empire was conquered by me and seven generals together. You and I are as close as brothers. I am willing to use the wealth of the world to support them, so that you and I can share the joy of prosperity."
"Pass on my order, order Chongyi to paint for me and the generals, and pass on the generals' achievements to future generations."
Next came a man who looked like a painter, who carefully sketched every stroke on the paper, recording the most heroic and unrestrained appearance of the person in front of him with his brush.
Then, the stage background changed and the scene came to a chaotic palace.
Outside the palace, the sound of horse hooves and fighting from the attacking enemy troops were getting closer and closer. The interior of the palace had long lost its former orderliness and became a mess. The palace maids and eunuchs were running around in the palace, trying to pack up their things and find an opportunity to escape.
In the Ganxin Hall of the Imperial Palace, the former emperor had long lost his former high spirits. His eyes became dull and silent, and he listened indifferently to the chaotic sounds of fleeing and shouting around him.
Standing beside him was a woman wearing luxurious palace clothes and with an unparalleled appearance. She frowned slightly. Although she was also afraid of the surrounding environment, she still stood firmly by the emperor's side.
"Your Majesty, Empress Xian, if you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave later!" A man who looked like a eunuch urged anxiously.
The audience understood instantly that this section was probably from the end of the Li Dynasty 500 years ago. Emperor Li Ai lived a luxurious life, which led to the people's livelihood being in dire straits and the people's morale was low. The neighboring Xi State took advantage of the decline of the Li Dynasty and wanted to seize the opportunity to invade.
The emperor on the stage remained indifferent to the eunuch's words. After a moment, he slowly spoke with his eyes blank, "In this situation, where can I go? I will not leave. I would rather die in the palace than take a single step outside."
After saying that, he looked at Concubine Xian next to him and said, "Everyone else has left, why don't you leave?"
The woman next to her shook her head: "I'm not going anywhere. I'm just staying with the Emperor."
The emperor on the stage smiled and said, "Great! I never thought that at the end of my life, there would still be someone willing to accompany me. Very good! I have seen all the glory in my life, so there is nothing to regret."
He looked at the woman in front of him, feeling a little reluctant: "Think carefully, if you stay here, you will die. It's not too late to leave now."
Concubine Xian once again shook her head firmly. Instead of leaving, she hugged Emperor Ai's arm and said, "I have been with Your Majesty since I was young. If I leave you, even if I escape, I won't have a good life. It is better for me to stay with Your Majesty and go together."
Emperor Ai's empty eyes wavered for a moment.
He sighed and touched Concubine Xian's hair.
The roar outside was getting closer and closer, and the whole ground seemed to be shaking due to the galloping horses' hooves.
Emperor Ai took one last look at his palace. In the huge Ganxin Hall, only he and Concubine Xian were left. The room was filled with heirloom treasures, standing quietly in the palace.
Emperor Ai's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and he roared, "Even if I die, I won't let those villains get away with it! I just can't give them what they want!"
After saying this, he stumbled over to grab a pot of wine from the table and stuffed it into Concubine Xian's hand: "Concubine Xian, if you don't want to go out, then come with me! This is a bottle of poisoned wine. I'll drink it first. Afterwards, you will help me burn this palace, and then come to accompany me, okay?"
Empress Xian looked around with a look of reluctance on her face, but before she could try to persuade him, she saw Emperor Ai holding the wine pot like a madman and pouring half of the wine into his mouth.
Blood quickly seeped from his face. He smiled as he supported Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian, remember my order. Burn everything here, leave nothing behind!"
After saying that, he fell to the side unconscious.
Empress Xian looked around again, her eyes sweeping across the eight paintings hanging in the hall, her brows furrowed, an expression of reluctance on her face.
She wanted to fulfill Emperor Ai's last wish, but she couldn't start when looking at the paintings in the room.
At this time, the old eunuch who had just left ran in again in a panic. Seeing Emperor Ai lying on the ground, he was so scared that he rolled on the ground.
When Empress Xian saw him, she suddenly had an idea. So, she quickly stood up, took down all the paintings on the wall, rolled them up, and stuffed them all into the old eunuch's arms.
Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer outside, she didn't have time to say anything more, and could only say to the old eunuch: "Eunuch Yu, this is a painting that has been passed down from generation to generation. It has extraordinary meaning to us. I can't bear to see it ruined like this."
After saying that, she leaned close to the old eunuch's ear and said, "You are the emperor's most trusted person, and you will definitely be able to complete the task."
"Take the painting now and leave through the east gate of the palace. Head east without looking back until you reach Mashan Stronghold. Hand the painting over to General Zheng, and your mission will be accomplished."
The old eunuch trembled: "Then my lady, what will you do?"
Concubine Xian looked back at Emperor Ai lying on the ground and said, "I promised to accompany him."
The old eunuch instantly burst into tears and tried to continue persuading her, but Empress Xian pushed him out the door and said, "Hurry, run, all the way east, and give the painting to General Zheng!"
Hearing the enemy's voices getting closer, the old eunuch did not dare to delay and had to run out desperately with tears in his eyes.
He ran for an unknown distance until he could no longer hear the sounds of fighting and horses' hooves. Then he turned his head tremblingly, and saw only flames rising into the sky from the direction of the palace.
At this point in the story, the lights on the stage went dark.
Someone in the audience immediately couldn't help but ask, "Is this the end of the story? So the painting was finally handed over to General Zheng?"
"That's not right. If it had been handed over to General Zheng, it should have been passed down from generation to generation. How could it have been lost overseas?"
"Yes, and later General Zheng wiped out the enemy and became emperor himself. If the painting was in his hands, it shouldn't have been lost!"
There were whispers in the audience, with many questions, all questioning the whereabouts of the painting.
The host waved his hand gently: "Everyone, please be patient and continue watching."
After he finished speaking, the scene changed and the lights on the stage came on again.
In the picture, the old eunuch, after traveling all the way, finally arrived at a place with a sign that read "Mashanzhai".
When he got here, he kept breathing heavily, as if he was almost at the finish line and could finally take a break.
He stopped and ordered a bowl of noodles at an open-air noodle shop on the roadside.
The waiter took a quick look at his attire, said nothing, and quickly prepared the noodles and brought them up.
The old eunuch quickly finished his noodles and was about to pay the bill before continuing on his way.
Suddenly, when the bill came, a large ingot of silver rolled out from his chest. The old eunuch was startled and was about to pick it up, but the waiter smiled sinisterly, then pulled out a long knife from under the pot, knocked the old eunuch to the ground, and robbed him of all his money.
The audience in the audience gasped when they saw this scene, and then couldn't help asking:
"So, in the end, the painting wasn't delivered to General Zheng? Was it robbed by the owner of a shady shop?"
"Oh my God, how could this happen?"
“How terrifying…”
"Damn, this makes me so angry. I can even imagine what happened next. Because the official silver on the eunuchs had a mark, it would definitely be discovered if used outside. The black shop owner found that the national treasures he looted from the old eunuchs could not be used at home, so he simply gritted his teeth and took everything out of the country, and then made a fortune abroad?"
At this time, the lights on the stage had come on again, and the host and Wen Qianqian walked onto the stage again.
The supporter heard the audience's question, chuckled, and replied, "We originally planned the story to end with the palace on fire, and the sequel was added at Qianqian's request."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Wen Qianqian: "Qianqian, can you share with our audience why you added this paragraph?"
"Okay," Wen Qianqian nodded. After thinking for a moment, she said into the microphone, "Anyone who has read Chinese history knows that the records of the handed-down paintings in the history books are that they disappeared in the palace of Emperor Ai."
She pursed her lips. "But that's not accurate. Disappearing from the palace was the old saying. Now that the painting has reappeared, it proves it wasn't destroyed."
"According to historical records, Emperor Ai's palace was burned to the ground, and many jade and gold artifacts were not spared, let alone a painting."
"The only possibility is that the painting was taken out of the palace and then flowed overseas."
"Based on historical inferences and some folk tales and legends, I thought of continuing to write the story behind the painting." She thought for a moment and looked at the audience who had spoken before: "As this audience member said, the domestic production level at that time exceeded that of overseas. If there were no special reasons, the paintings would not be taken overseas. So my inference is the same as this audience member's. It may be a treasure shipped out of the palace. Although precious, it is difficult to circulate on the market, so they simply took this windfall and took a ship abroad.
”
After saying that, she smiled and said, "Of course, this is just my guess, not real history. If you have any new ideas, please feel free to communicate with us."
The audience immediately became happy:
"That's great! If I go back and study history carefully and find any clues, will I have the chance to get close to Wen Zai?"
"No more talking. After the show is over, I'll go back to studying history."
Below the stage, in the far corner of the studio, two men in baseball caps sat there. They lowered their heads, and the brims of their hats almost covered most of their faces, but just looking at the small part that was exposed, one could still tell that they were two handsome guys.
Shen Yanjun raised the corner of his mouth and pulled up the brim of his hat: "No wonder you said you were coming, it turns out you came to see your girlfriend... Tsk, do you know how much I spent on this ticket from someone else? I'll reimburse you, you hear?"
The people next to him were only focused on the slender figure on the stage, not even looking at him, and replied nonchalantly, "Okay."
Hearing this, Shen Yanjun was finally satisfied, then he pointed at the screen and asked Lu Xingyan beside him: "Ayan, do you think this story adaptation is reasonable?"
Lu Xingyan thought for a moment and said, "It may seem a bit far-fetched, but if you think about it carefully, it's actually quite reasonable. After all, the Xie family themselves can't clearly explain how they started their business overseas."
"The paintings flowed from the palace to the outside world. The Xie family rose to prominence overseas, doing business in gold, silver and antiques, and then becoming an aristocratic family. It seems like a coincidence no matter how you look at it."
Shen Yanjun's voice was surprised: "Is it true? How do you know so much?"
Lu Xingyan said calmly, "Some things, as long as you have doubts in your heart, you can still find clues if you investigate carefully."
"Awesome, really awesome!" Shen Yanjun couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
“Are you so interested in the Xie family’s affairs because of your uncle or because of your girlfriend?” Shen Yanjun couldn’t help but feel curious.
Lu Xingyan didn't say anything, but his mind suddenly emerged of the time when he and Wen Qianqian went home together and heard her say that national treasures were precious. Whether as a citizen or as a police officer, she didn't like paintings to flow overseas.
Her expression was very serious, so he couldn't help but care. In addition, Xie Yunjin and Lu Zhanxun were too close, so he had to be wary. It was natural for him to investigate Xie Yunjin.
Just as I was thinking about it, the host suddenly announced on the stage: "Now that everyone has watched the stage play and has some understanding of this national treasure, let us now, with excitement, feel the surprise and shock that this masterpiece brings us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two emcees with graceful figures wearing high heels walked out from the backstage. They were wearing light green cheongsams that outlined their figures particularly well.
The two of them walked to the center of the stage holding the painting in their hands. They each held one side and slowly unfolded it, and a lifelike national treasure was displayed in front of all the audience.
"Wow," everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and there were gasps one after another at the scene.
Even Shen Yanjun, who was sitting in the corner and had already seen the painting, couldn't help but marvel at it when he looked at it again.
National treasures are national treasures. Every time you see them, you will have a different feeling.
"Oh my god, why did my tears well up when I saw the national treasure return?
It’s coming out soon.”
"That's right, that's right. I'm so moved. The painting is so beautiful. Being able to see it with my own eyes, I feel like I have no regrets in my life."
"This is probably the power that culture and history bring us!"
"Neighboring country H has also been promoting a retro style recently, but is their history worth reading? They have nothing but what they stole from others. Our country is still the best. We have our own civilization and heritage, which others can't steal even if they want to."
…
The audience below the stage kept exclaiming in amazement, but Wen Qianqian was staring at the painting in fascination.
Suddenly, a flash of memory came to her mind. At this moment, she immediately closed her eyes and began to capture the information that had just flashed by.
Suddenly, she remembered. The book described that the painting last appeared in China at an auction. Yue Yingxue was chosen as a lucky guest to go on stage and was allowed to view the painting up close.
In the book, the heroine Yue Yingxue's luck was once again demonstrated at this moment. She was standing on the stage when suddenly an earring fell to the ground. She hurriedly stepped back a few steps and bent down to pick it up.
At this moment, she was half-squatting behind the painting, lowering her head to pick up the earrings. The moment she looked up, she discovered the secret of the painting.
It turns out that the reason why the Martial God series is called the most satisfying work of the painting saint Chongyi is not only because of its historical background, but also because the painting itself contains a mystery.
As long as you stand behind the painting and tilt your head 45 degrees to look at it, you can see that this picture looks like one painting, but there are two other paintings hidden inside it, making it a three-in-one painting.
Because this painting is precious and rarely seen, even if people see it, they only see it from the front and the right angle, so almost no one knows the secret of this painting.
Thinking of this, Wen Qianqian immediately took a few steps back while the emcee was presenting something in front of her, then recalled the description in the book and imitated it by turning her head to look.
At first, I didn't see anything. I felt that it was just like any other ordinary painting, and there was no such thing as a painting within a painting.
But she did not give up. After thinking for a while, she gently tilted her head to the other side and adjusted the angle little by little.
Just when she had almost tried them all and thought the description in the book was wrong, her head suddenly tilted a little to the right, and then a miracle happened.
She saw it, she really saw it!
From the front, the painting shows a grassland with a young general in armor taming a wild horse. But from the back, it shows a young general in a red official uniform standing in the court, holding a sword, looking energetic and dignified.
A little further to the left, there is a figure wearing ordinary clothes, with long hair tied up high and a dogtail grass hanging from his mouth. He is lying on the grass, squinting his eyes, and basking in the sun. The picture is extremely detailed, depicting a free and easy young man vividly.
Wen Qianqian was so shocked that she covered her mouth. She didn't expect that the picture contained a three-in-one painting including battle uniform, official uniform and daily clothes.
