After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

Wednesday is the day for recording the second episode of "Sounds in the Ears".

Lu Qingfeng was sitting in the back seat of the car, reading a book called "Martial Arts Collection".

He discovered this book in the Peking University Library. After flipping through it, he found it very interesting and borrowed it.

This is a note-style novel written by Qian Jibo.

Not many people may have heard of this name, but his son Qian Zhongshu is probably more well-known.

Compared with his son's achievements in literary history, the old man first studied Chinese classics and then learned Western physics, mathematics, chemistry and other courses.

Chinese learning as the basis, Western learning for practical application.

He devoted his life to teaching and educating people, and was concerned about the country and the people. He deserves the title of master.

Anyone who knows a little about him knows that the old gentleman mainly wrote the General History of Confucian Classics and the History of Modern Literature.

Few people know that the old man also wrote martial arts novels.

Even in his later autobiography, he never mentioned this book.

If we really want to investigate it carefully, we may have to trace it back to the old man's early years and the grievances and hatred between him and another literati, Lin Shu.

I won’t go into details here.

The so-called note-style novel is a type of Chinese classical novel and was popular during the Republic of China period.

The themes are mainly folk tales and interesting stories about people, with short length and simple narrative.

"Miscellaneous Talks on Martial Arts" records the interesting stories of martial artists during the Republic of China and Qing Dynasty.

Among them are some figures that may also be known to modern people, such as Ma Yongzhen.

It was also after reading this book that Lu Qingfeng realized that perhaps many of the martial arts techniques in Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels were also influenced by this book.

For example, there is a piece called "The Fujian Monk", which has many similarities with the plot of the martial arts competition between Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Among them, the Fujian monk competed with others, shouted the Shaoyin sword technique, and then kicked out a green air from eighteen feet away.

And draining alcohol from the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot, all these remind people of the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Although the articles are all written in classical Chinese, they are very interesting if you can patiently read them carefully.

The writing style is vivid and humorous, and the content is bizarre and confusing, with the flavor of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Lu Qingfeng couldn't put this book down recently.

As I was reading, I unconsciously realized that someone was paying attention to me. I subconsciously looked up and saw Brother Niu, who was the guest driver today, quietly looking at me through the rearview mirror.

Brother Niu’s full name is Niu Shiyu, and his original job was new media operation.

In order to facilitate the schedule, the studio finally bought a nanny car, but has not yet recruited a suitable driver.

So when we came out to record the show today, I asked him to make a guest appearance.

He is less than 30 years old, of medium build, and has no special features in appearance. He can only be described as ordinary.

But I heard that he is very active in his work in the office. For example, he volunteered to drive this time.

Perhaps noticing the gazes from the back row, Niu Shiyu quickly retracted his gaze, then looked up and smiled embarrassedly.

Lu Qingfeng found it funny. He put a bookmark made of a leaf in the book and closed it.

"Brother Niu, do you want to chat?"

"Hehe, sorry, boss, I just want to know what book you are reading."

"If you want to read 'Martial Arts Collection', I can lend it to you. However, it's a school book, so please take good care of it."

Lu Qingfeng showed the cover of the book.

"thank you boss."

"Brother Niu also likes reading?"

"I saw more of them before, mainly because our area is quite remote and there wasn't much to do. Later, when I moved to a big city, I saw fewer of them."

"Now I prefer to browse my phone. Even when I read, it's online novels."

Niu Shiyu answered very honestly.

"The main problem is that I can't concentrate. Sometimes I make up my mind to read a book, but end up reading it piecemeal for various reasons. I feel like I don't remember anything, so I might as well not read it at all."

This reminded Lu Qingfeng of his past. In fact, it was not just studying, but many things were like this.

For ordinary people, life is always filled with various trivial matters that they have to face.

Finding some free time, sitting down, enjoying a cup of tea and reading a book seems like a simple thing, but it is actually difficult to do.

He thought for a moment and said.

"In fact, there's no need to force yourself to gain anything from a book, or to remember its contents. There's no need, nor is it worth remembering everything in this world."

“Reading is a feeling. As long as you read, even if you don’t read it completely, it will eventually remain in your memory in various ways, and you will suddenly recall it at some point.”

The vehicle also arrived at the destination. Lu Qingfeng unbuckled his seat belt, handed the book in his hand to the person in the front seat, then patted Niu Shiyu on the shoulder and turned to get out of the car.

Today's opening shooting location is CCTV's broadcasting building, and Lu Qingfeng is already familiar with this place.

After entering the building, we were led by the staff to a studio where the "Sounds into My Ears" production crew had already set up the cameras and a group of people were gathered around.

After walking in, he saw Li Yinan and Tong Jin had already arrived, and hurried over to say hello.

The three of them talked for a while, and then Liu Qianya and Si Hanyun arrived. After they put on their microphones, director Xu Yan announced the start of the second shooting.

As soon as the camera turned on, the director made an announcement.

"The hall you are all in now will host a concert next month. The music you created in the first three episodes will be performed here. The concert will be held on November 19th, which is the day we filmed our sixth episode."

"I still feel pressured. There's less than a month left."

Si Hanyun held his face in his hands, expressing his fear.

"The third shoot will be on the 29th of this month, which means we only have 20 days to create and arrange."

Li Yinan counted the time on his fingers.

"How's everyone's progress on the first episode's music?"

Liu Qianya asked.

"almost."

Everyone nodded.

"Then let's practice the first part of the song first, so that it will be easier later."

Everyone then had a discussion. In addition to the musicians invited by the program team to perform with several people, each person's song also needed the assistance of other guests.

For example, the two songs written by Lu Qingfeng also require accompaniment from other instruments.

That is to say, in the next period of time, in addition to filming, they also need to find time to practice together.

After the discussion, the topic turned to the recording theme of this episode.

"Has everyone had breakfast?"

Xu Yan asked a few people off-camera.

They immediately became alert, the scene from the first episode still fresh in their minds.

"I ate it here."

Lu Qingfeng spoke first, and the others also said they had already eaten.

"Is that so? Then let's go somewhere else."

Xu Yan said with some regret that it looked like the goal had not been achieved, but Lu Qingfeng felt that the real purpose of this director who had so many creative ideas was not this.
