It was just a love letter; I'm really no great writer!

"This poem..."

Everyone looked at Dante; the poem had a transcendent spirit to it.

But what exactly are the advantages?

Well, someone who's uncultured can't even understand poetry.

We still need the highly respected Dante to interpret it.

The old man remained silent for a long time, his eyes glistening with tears.

After a moment, he said cheerfully, "Little Lu, may I presume to interpret your poem?"

Lu Ranlian said, "Please go ahead."

Dante, as a living fossil of modern poetry history, holds a lofty position in the poetry world, and his academic level is beyond doubt.

The directors and photographers around them listened quietly, like primary school students.

Dante, in his youth, possessed a photographic memory and wrote down the entire poem without a single mistake.

Write and explain simultaneously:

"The opening two lines are allusions. In Zhuangzi's Autumn Floods, it says, 'The divine tortoise has been dead for three thousand years.' The Tengshe allusion comes from Han Feizi's Difficulties of Power."

"The phrase 'finally turning to dust' uses the mythical imagery of immortality to acknowledge the absoluteness of death, living towards death, short and powerful!"

The middle four lines are even more remarkable: the old horse, though aged, still has the ambition to travel a thousand miles a day; even when heroes grow old, their ambition to strive for progress will not cease!

"Haha, Xiao Lu is encouraging us to maintain boundless fighting spirit in our limited lives."

"This poem possesses a majestic and powerful spirit, reminiscent of an emperor. Excellent, excellent!"

After hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly understood, but they were even more astonished by Lu Ran's talent.

—In just a few minutes, he effortlessly produced a profound and magnanimous poem, truly a genius among poets.

Well-deserved reputation!

Zeng Yang couldn't stop smiling.

Drafting Lu Ran was definitely the right decision; the opening scene was a bombshell, giving us material for the pilot episode!

Mo Hua said to Yang Wendao, "An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles, but old Yang, how about winning another Nobel Prize for China?"

Yang Wendao laughed loudly: "Hahaha, good, borrowing Mr. Lu's poem, I, this old body, must also give it another push."

Lu Ran smiled slightly.

Cao Laoban's poem "Though the Tortoise Lives Long" has inspired countless heroes and valiant men for thousands of years.

Have you not seen the line, "Cao Cao wielded his whip, and left behind a poem at Jieshi Mountain in the east!"

If my own efforts in bringing this article out could lead to another Nobel Prize for China, that would be a meritorious deed.

After the four observers were introduced, Lu Ran took his seat to eat.

While I was at it, I took a quick look at the other guests.

Discovering an acquaintance—

"Hello, Aunt Ning." Lu Ran felt a sense of warmth.

Ning Ning was still pondering the poem she had just read when she nodded and said, "Even in his twilight years, a hero's heart remains strong. A very good poem."

Her husband translated and introduced foreign novels and poems during his lifetime, making numerous contributions to Chinese literature.

When Ning Ning saw Lu Ran's youthful talent, she vaguely saw her husband's handsome figure in his youth, and she was momentarily dazed.

Lu Ran smiled shyly.

His gaze swept over Zhao Qingqing, and he was surprised. Why was this old lady here too?

He had consulted with Da Xiong beforehand, and the process of bringing down Fu Liqun was quite complicated.

Zhao Qingqing was a great help to him.

This left Lu Ran somewhat confused about the woman's stance.

At this point, Zeng Yang introduced all the guests.

The girl sitting across from me, as pure and innocent as a white flower, is the recently viral "Nation's Daughter"...

A leading lady with 20 billion yuan in box office revenue...

A beauty that appears only once every six thousand years...

Zhou Haoxi.

On the right are crosstalk comedian Guo Lin and singer-dancer Xiao Cai, both very young, in their early twenties.

That concludes the impressive lineup of guests for the first season:

Lu Ran, Ning Ning, Zhao Qingqing, Zhou Haoxi, Guo Lin, Xiao Cai.

In terms of seniority, Ning Ning has the most experience;

In terms of age, Lu Ran is the youngest.

To be honest, he was quite curious about what kind of sparks such a travel team could create.

After having a meal, Lu Ran got to know Guo Lin, who was sitting next to him, and asked him if he knew the filming process.

Guo Lin was quite optimistic: "Who cares? The live stream's popularity is the production team's concern. We just need to focus on eating, drinking, and having fun."

"That makes sense." Lu Ran also put down his burden.

It's a paid trip anyway; you record for a month, get paid, and leave.

After lunch, Zeng Yang told them to go back to the hotel to rest and that the meeting would be held again in the evening.

Lu Ran spotted Di Qingling, who was strategizing and planning in the crowd.

But there are staff members everywhere here.

With everyone watching, there was absolutely no chance for private contact...

……

It was afternoon.

All the guests for "Heartbeat Trip" have been revealed, and the pilot episode has also been released.

Long-awaited netizens left numerous comments.

"Checking in for my brother!"

"Penguin is amazing, it has managed to gather the top talents from all fields."

"Which entertainment circle is your brother a top star in?"

"Holy crap, is this Lu Ran, the author of 'The Ballad of the Pipa'?"

"So handsome! I'm in love!"

"Sister, if you can't handle it, let me!"

"Mom, come quick! Lu Ran is about to recite poetry again!"

A stirring rendition of "Though the Tortoise Lives Long," coupled with Dante's interpretation, propelled the trailer to the top of trending searches.

This will also cement Lu Ran's name on the throne of the poetry world.

……

The hotel room.

Seeing all the praise for Lu Ran online, Zhou Haoxi pouted.

"Lu Ran..."

The poet she imagined...

Completely different!

First, appearance.

Even if you put Lu Ran in the entertainment industry full of handsome men, he would still be very capable, and he also has a free and unrestrained poetic temperament.

Secondly, her age is too young!

It looks like it's just reached adulthood, a virgin?

Ultimate talent...

She had just searched for Lu Ran's previous love letters. Although she couldn't quite understand them, she could still feel the vibrant poetic sentiment within them.

Suddenly, she felt that the task she had been given was of hellish difficulty.

"Well, let's just treat the symptoms first."

After Zhou Haoxi saw Zuo Hanzhi's photo.

He understood why the Zhao family had approached him.

Judging from their appearance and temperament, she and Zuo Hanzhi both belong to the type that looks pure and innocent at first glance.

"He likes innocent girls, that's easy."

Zhou Haoxi specially chose a white T-shirt with a perfect curve at the chest.

Pair it with a denim straight-leg mini skirt to show off your fair and tender calves, giving off a youthful and fresh vibe.

Finally, I sat in front of the mirror and applied a no-makeup makeup look: doe-like eyes, a light blush on my cheekbones, and glossy, moist, bright red lips.

For perfume, use the freshest orange blossom, carrying a touch of aloofness and naivety.

The girl in front of the mirror stroked her ponytail with satisfaction.

What a clean, youthful, and pure white moonlight! It's as if I've returned to my high school days.

However... she's a real girls' high school student, and no matter how much I try to act young, I can't be as pure as a blank sheet of paper like her.

But I also have my own advantages.

She's a celebrity, after all.

Her convincing acting skills, honed on the big screen, combined with the flirting techniques she just learned on Xiaohongshu...

Little virgin, you've got him!

dong dong~

The production crew knocked on the door: "The director wants to call a meeting."

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Zhou Haoxi stepped out of the room, composed herself, and followed the staff to the lobby on the first floor.

The guests were all in place, and Di Qingling stood in front of them with a serious expression, holding a card in her hand.

Zhou Haoxi secretly glanced at Lu Ran; his features were clear and handsome, indeed quite dashing.

Will he fall in love with me?

"Is everyone here? Please hand in your phones," Di Qingling said.

"Hand over your phone?" Lu Ran was taken aback.

"Yes, it's related to the mission in this episode."

After Di Qingling and the others handed over their cell phones, she said:

"The Journey of the Heart is a four-part series this season. The first part is called: Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty."

"You will follow in the footsteps of the poet Li Bai and visit the poetic Chang'an of a thousand years ago."

"Your first task is to travel in groups to the first ancient cultural city, Chang'an."

"During this period, your funds will be frozen, and you will be prohibited from engaging in any freeloading activities such as eating and drinking for free."

"Upon reaching the Chang'an checkpoint, participants will share the event funds based on the peak viewership ratio of their respective livestream rooms!"

Xiao Cai was taken aback: "Can't I even use my own money?"

"Yes, earning money also requires corresponding labor." Di Qingling nodded.

"Director Di, you didn't say it was a budget trip before we came, did you?" Lu Ran broke out in a cold sweat; this money wasn't easy to earn.

Di Qingling ignored her: "Let's draw lots."

"Teacher Lu, please." Zhao Sizhe smiled, took the lottery prop box, and walked to Lu Ran. "Those who draw the same number ball are a group."

Lu Ran reached into his pocket and found a red ball with the number 6 on it.

Zhou Haoxi, who drew the second lot, didn't know what kind of mechanism was in the box, but she reached out and touched it and pulled out a number 6 ball.

"Hey Lu Ran~ Let's be a pair." Zhou Haoxi walked over with a sweet smile.

The first trick to winning a guy's heart is to call his name, thus closing the distance to a flirtatious relationship.

"Yes, I look forward to working with you in the future."

Lu Ran originally thought that he didn't care who he teamed up with, as long as he stayed away from Zhao Qingqing.

However, being able to team up with this "national daughter" is a great achievement.

The live stream must be quite popular, right?

Xiao Cai drew Guo Lin, so Ning Ning and Zhao Qingqing were naturally paired together.

"Set off!"

With a command from Di Qingling.

And so, they were kicked out of the hotel by the production crew.

As night falls, the CBD is filled with towering buildings and a constant flow of traffic.

They hadn't prepared anything, hadn't eaten dinner, and their phones had been confiscated...

They looked like savages who had been airdropped from the sky.

Lu Ran turned around and looked at the diligent photographer following him.

"The live stream has already started. It's really like a travel variety show, giving us a budget travel experience."

"Wait, are we just going to leave like this?"

Zhou Haoxi realized something was wrong and was on the verge of collapse. "It's over 700 kilometers from here to Chang'an, and we can't even afford train tickets..."

Lu Ran pondered: "The production team didn't set a time limit."

"We can find a place to have a good meal tonight and then get a good night's sleep."

"It's not too late to figure something out tomorrow morning."

"But... I don't have any money!" Zhou Haoxi's stomach was already growling, and she looked at Lu Ran pitifully.

This wasn't an act; she genuinely lacked life experience.

Before becoming famous for his acting, he was a junior in college. After becoming famous, he had even less opportunity to experience the hardships of ordinary people.

Lu Ran had a pretty good idea of ​​what the production team was up to, and smiled.

"Who says you have to pay for food?"
