Chapter 30: The Widow King Setting, the Director Dies
"...The rules of the show are to randomly draw a poem from these two books. Based on the poem's artistic conception, description, and meaning, as well as the individual interpretations of the guest teams, you will interpret the corresponding story and design new costumes that match the theme. I would like to remind everyone here that good scenery and music will both add points. The final score is based on the overall effect, not just the costumes.
The scoring is composed of three parts: a professional jury, on-site audiences, and online voting.
Expert ratings account for 50%, on-site audiences account for 30%, and online voting accounts for 20%.
There is also a voting session among guests, and each guest’s vote is counted as fifty votes.
Did everyone understand? "
The host Wang Dan explained the program rules, holding a book of 300 Tang poems and a book of 300 Song poems in his hands.
There are exactly six episodes and six guests, and each person draws one episode.
This really caught everyone off guard.
I didn’t expect the program crew to play it this way!
Ye Mengyu thought about the subject matter she had discussed with Fang Zhixing before, maybe it could be related to Chinese style?
Who's so mean? Who came up with this idea? Two weeks, isn't this the equivalent of filming a short play? And it's a composition topic, are you asking for trouble?
Director Ainan sat in the control seat, turning a deaf ear to everything and taking it all as praise!
"Okay, then please invite Miss Su Lan to draw a topic. Just to digress, Su Su, this program setting is considered your comfort zone, right? You have so many representative costume dramas."
Su Lan laughed heartily, displaying her heroic, carefree, and silly personality. "Every profession has its own expertise. I'm just an actor, and I still need the help of my teammates for professional matters. Brother Dan, you're really good at praising me, hahahaha..."
"Hahaha, I'm telling the truth. Come on, Susu, turn around and turn the page."
"Okay. I'll start flipping through it. Which poem do you all hope to find? Which one does Brother Yu want?"
She asked with a shy look on her face, and started to seduce openly.
Jiang Fanyu's expression didn't change at all. "It's all fine. What do you think, Xiaoyu?"
Ye Mengyu was speechless. Didn't we agree to pretend we weren't familiar with each other? What are you doing now? Who told you to call me Xiaoyu?
"I don't have much poetry reserve, so it's all the same to me. Brother Ze also studied abroad. Do you agree with my ideas?"
"Brother, you're the car king, so think bigger. Don't bring your family conflicts outside and make people laugh. Please cooperate, please. I don't want to have a scandal with Jiang Fanyu, it's scary."
Jiang Fanyu: !!!??? You don't dare to have a scandal with me, but you dare to get a marriage certificate with me in secret? Tell me, isn't that contradictory?
Gu Yize: "Didn't you finish high school in China before going abroad? As a Chinese, don't you know a few basic Tang and Song poems? I want Wang Wei's "Out to the Frontier," it's so heroic."
Humph, I won’t cooperate with you, so what?
Ye Mengyu gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll choose Li Qingzhao's "Summer Quatrains", which commemorates the dead. Xiang Yu also truly loves each other and rushes to each other."
[It's better than building a big villa with Pleasant Goat on the green grassland above your head. Humph, you deserve to be a father and raise other people's children. You deserve to be ripped off, have a car accident, be disabled, lose all your property, and be left by Bai Yueguang to become a homeless person. You deserve it, you are so mean, it's all you deserve.]
Seeing that a bloody tragedy was about to happen, Zeng Qimo immediately responded, "Then let's choose Su Shi's "When Will the Bright Moon Rise?" I only know this one, and I can sing it, haha..."
Although she also loves to listen to gossip about Gu Yize, she still has to save the situation, which is tiring.
She even forgot that she was not the main guest.
Mo Chubai added affectionately, "I'll listen to Qiqi."
[Look, look, she's truly my kindhearted Fourth Sister. Look at her attitude and reaction. She's definitely staying away from scumbags and having a successful career. Fourth Sister deserves it. Great!]
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, everyone. Actually, we don't even know what we're going to draw. It's random. Susu, how about we start?"
Wang Dan was also impressed by Su Lan's ability to stir up trouble. Why was he so naughty?
Are you flirting? Why can't you have a little self-awareness? Why don't you know the situation? Do you think this is your bed? Do you think everyone else is invisible? This is so embarrassing.
After all, she is a popular actress, how can she be so low?
"Okay, then I'll smoke, I'll smoke..."
Turning her back, Su Lan's eyes were still fixed on Jiang Fanyu.
Finally, a page was turned.
Ye Mengyu felt sorry for Jiang Fanyu.
It's not easy, being stared at like that, it's like a dung beetle seeing donkey dung. If there weren't so many cameras on the scene, Su would have rushed over, pretended to faint, and thrown herself into his arms. He's worthy of being described by the movie actor's fans as someone who took off his pants and chased him for two miles, screaming about being raped. So amazing. I'll wait and see if they can release a press release when the show airs saying that Movie Emperor Jiang loves her but can't get her, and that Mrs. Jiang is calling to urge her to get married. She's her mother's most satisfactory daughter-in-law candidate. Ugh...
"Okay, Su Lan has chosen the poem 'Su Wu Temple' by the famous poet Wen Tingyun. Su Wu's soul vanished before the Han envoy, the ancient shrine and the tall trees stand in a daze. The geese cut off the moon from the Hu sky, while the sheep return to the Long Mountains amidst the smoke from the grass. The returning sun towers are no longer tents, and when I left, I was still a young man wearing a crown and a sword. The seal of nobility is no longer found in Maoling, and I can only weep over the passing river with my autumn eyes."
"My knowledge is limited, and I have never heard of this poem before. It is considered unpopular. I am also looking forward to seeing how the guests interpret this poem."
Wang Dan was still in control, but was completely confused by this poem.
Ainan was considering whether to re-record and draw again.
What luck!
"Okay, the first recording session is over. Everyone, please go back and prepare for the show within the next two weeks. Don't forget to livestream for at least one hour a day, and at least twenty hours a month. If you don't complete the livestream, you'll lose 200 points, which is practically a sign of surrender."
This is so annoying! The show is so complex to set up, and it even has to be livestreamed. What on earth has inspired Director Ai? Shouldn't it have been as simple as coming up with a theme and designing clothes for a runway show? The first episode seemed to be about the future. What's going on? Is he taking the wrong medicine? Is he really that respectful of his audience? Why make it so complicated? When will he finally come to his senses?
Most variety shows are still about piling up big-name guests and crowdfunding, and after they've lured in investment, they just let loose and indulge in a feast. Anyway, as long as the guests are big enough, the traffic is high enough, and there's no shortage of fans and water, the popularity can't be low.
Be fearless and create whatever you want.
How can this be possible? What’s the point of writing ancient poetry?
In this fast-food age, who wants to explore artistic value or engage in literature? Don’t they just want to see handsome men and beautiful women walking on the catwalk in beautiful clothes? Who cares about the depth of the short plays you worked so hard to create, or whether they are masterpieces?
This is simply going to extremes. Even if the artist wasn't removed due to a scandal, it's hard to believe it would have been popular. Jiang Fanyu can't save him, right? Isn't he still the "Die Lantern" of variety shows? No platform will ever dare to pull such a pretentious stunt again.
Why are you pretending to be such a cultured person? Why are you pretending to be such a cultured person?
Ahhh, so annoying.
She is just a vulgar person, okay?
Forget it, just do it casually, take the labor fee and go through the process.
"I think since this is a Su Wu Temple, it should focus on Su Wu herding sheep. Let's not make it all melancholy or sad. Can we stick to the theme of sticking to our original aspirations and being steadfast and resolute?"
When it came to the group discussion, it was clearly stated that one just had to go through the process and get paid, but Ye Mengyu was more serious than anyone else.
There’s nothing I can do, I’m just so strong-willed!
