A plan to seize the sea?!
Hai Lao seemed to have said something, yet he also seemed not to have said anything.
Xu Hongzhuo didn't understand, but Lin Rui realized something, though he didn't say it aloud.
If it involves the plan to seize the sea, then some of Lin Rui's doubts can be explained.
Perhaps, as Mr. Hai said, he did not read the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms, let alone read it two or three times.
That doesn't mean that none of those who support the plan to seize the sea have finished reading the novel; they might even have found what they were looking for in it.
Hai Lao didn't stay at Tianrui for long. After getting the answers he wanted, he left with Xu Hongzhuo.
Before leaving, Elder Hai mentioned it to Lin Rui, saying that if there was a chance, he would ask Lin Rui to visit the China Literature and Art Association.
Having not been home for over a month, Lin Rui had a rare meal with Lin Changhe and Dong Juan, and they chatted about his experiences in Lizhou recently.
The elderly couple simply listened without interrupting, genuinely happy for their outstanding son.
The villa was filled with joy and harmony, while outside, a large number of users flocked to [Voice of Xiazhou]. It was only evening, but [Voice of Xiazhou] was already incredibly popular.
Its popularity even surpassed that of Weibo.
These users who flocked to the site had a clear purpose: to wait until midnight so they could be the first to hear the three new songs that Fusheng had announced on Weibo.
It's worth noting that two of those songs were sung by Fusheng himself!
"Have you heard? The Chinese Literature and Art Association has sent people to ask Xiao Rui to adapt 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' into a film or television series."
Luo Qi and Zheng Jing remained at the company, accompanied by Shen Yun, Sun Youlin, Ye Yinhui, Xu Huijing, and others.
Upon hearing that it would be adapted into a film or television series, everyone present's eyes lit up.
Although they had already obtained physical copies of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," reading the entire book in classical Chinese, while not quite obscure or difficult to understand, still presented a considerable challenge for them.
However, since this book was written by Lin Rui, even if the reading experience wasn't great, they still shamelessly asked the company's lyricists and screenwriters for advice, after all, these writers' literary achievements are still worthy of praise.
"Any ideas?"
Luo Qi hesitated: "It is said that in order to speed up the process, the authorities may directly recruit actors from various states for auditions."
Where did you hear this from?
Not only Zheng Jing, but everyone in the room looked at Luo Qi with curiosity.
"It's not that I want to keep it a secret, it's just that it's inconvenient to reveal that person's identity."
Luo Qi was very frank; she didn't want to say it, and she couldn't say it.
In fact, Secretary Liu, Xu Hongzhuo's close associate, has always had close ties with Zheng Jing in private.
As the saying goes, men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age, but both sides had concerns, so they kept it a secret.
Zheng Jing seemed to have guessed something and smiled, "Then I won't say, but the information you provided is very important, and I think everyone should pay close attention to it."
Zheng Jing looked at Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui.
Both Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui understood the underlying meaning in Zheng Jing's words.
If you're really interested in adapting "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into a film or television series, then you need to be more discerning and not wait until the cast list is finalized before thinking about it.
Given that this is an official initiative, the audition process will inevitably adhere to three key principles: speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.
"Xiao Rui isn't planning on getting a role?"
Zheng Jing looked at Luo Qi as if she had just thought of something.
"Xiao Rui doesn't understand, but the official team intends to cast Xiao Rui as Cao Zhi."
After a pause, Luo Qi added, "Cao Zhi's role in the drama should be small, but there is still a possibility of scheduling conflicts, so Xiao Rui probably won't be participating."
"That's a real shame."
Zheng Jing said with some regret.
"If the recording of 'Masked Singer' hadn't been postponed by a week, Xiao Rui might still be staying in Lizhou."
"Furthermore, Xiao Rui intends to finish filming 'Cat and Mouse Game' before the World Arts Conference. He doesn't have three heads and six arms, so he simply can't spare any extra time to participate in other film and television dramas, even if he plays a role with few scenes."
Hearing Luo Qi's analysis, everyone was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Lin Rui has always been a lazy bum at the company, and it's hard for anyone to imagine that he would ever have a moment of great accomplishment.
Xu Huijing was quite interested in "Masked Singer," after all, she was undoubtedly the number one person in variety shows in Yuezhou.
On the other hand, Ye Yinhui felt a little jealous at this moment.
In "The Legend of 1900," he only played the role of a captain, with few lines and very few screen time.
But now, Xu Huijing has been invited to join the judging panel of "Masked Singer".
Of course, this is not the "Masked Singer" event held in Lizhou, but a show produced by Tianrui Entertainment, which is now scouting for talent in sixteen states.
Having conducted on-site research in Lizhou and even participated in some of the recordings, Tianrui Entertainment's variety show directors are well aware of the show's unique features and selling points. Now, Zhou Rongze wants to create an identical variety show in Sixteen States, which is no problem at all for Tianrui with its manpower and resources.
In terms of lineup, there is indeed a huge gap in level between the judging panel and the masked singers. However, in terms of popularity, the two shows are equally matched, and may even be far more popular.
The group chatted idly for a while, and before they knew it, midnight had arrived.
Almost instantly, many onlookers noticed a significant lag in [Xiazhou Voice], which nearly caused the software to crash.
Ren Hetai also opened [Xiazhou Voice] immediately; he has never been late for Lin Rui's new song release.
"Principal, we've already paid for the download. Which song should we listen to first?"
As always, whenever Ren Hetai wanted to stay in the office to wait for midnight, Director Luo would always volunteer to accompany him.
"Let's talk about Cao Cao."
Ren Hetai patted the copy of *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* lying on his lap, and said thoughtfully, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me..."
Although Director Luo has never read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," it doesn't mean he is completely ignorant of the characters in the book.
He was particularly curious about Cao Cao, having heard about him from Ren Hetai more than once.
Or rather, he simply wanted to find more common ground with Ren Hetai; reading novels and learning about the characters in them were just secondary considerations.
As Director Luo pressed the play button, a suppressed melody pulsated throughout the office.
Gradually, the drumbeats reverberated, as if unveiling an epic battlefield scene.
Ren Hetai was somewhat surprised. He had thought that "Cao Cao" would be a traditional Chinese style song, but the repeated use of electronic percussion instruments in the intro made him have the absurd idea that Lin Rui might be going to sing rock.
"If you're not a hero, you shouldn't read Romance of the Three Kingdoms; if you are a hero, how can you not understand loneliness?"
Although it differed somewhat from his previous thoughts, it wasn't the rock music he had mistakenly imagined, which gave Ren Hetai a slight sense of relief.
"Alone I walked down Changban Slope, the moonlight so gentle. Cao Cao was ruthless, single-mindedly focused on taking Jingzhou, using intrigue, open schemes, and covert tactics to seize it..."
A calculated scheme.
conspiracy.
To be frank.
Stealing secretly.
Ren Hetai's lips curled up slightly, which reminded him of the scene he had imagined when reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Cao Cao took Jingzhou.
These eight characters aptly describe Cao Cao.
