The first thousand and eighty-eight chapters cry across the long river of history
The theme of the first program is recording history.
The protagonists of the story are historians from past dynasties, and they use their own notes to write down facts one after another.
Among them, the most classic one is the Sima family.
That’s right!
In the history of China, the most famous family in recorded history is also the Sima family.
What's even more coincidental is that the father and son in history were also named Sima Tan and Sima Qian.
Chen Ming felt that this should be a certain kind of fate.
On earth, "Historical Records" will be remembered by future generations, and the story of Sima Qian is even more familiar to everyone.
In China, there is the same name and the same story, but people in China know very little about Sima Qian’s story.
Chen Ming bent down and bowed. When the golden light completely melted away, he slowly straightened up.
In an instant, the vocal band's music stopped abruptly, leaving no trace of noise.
The audience's breath stopped.
This kind of solemn picture has not been seen for many years.
In other words, in China’s entertainment industry over the years, whether it is a movie, a TV series, or even a variety show, there has never been such a shocking opening.
In just these few minutes, the audience felt that the quality of this program was already infinitely high.
"Talk to the Sages!"
The lights on the stage suddenly dimmed.
The golden light also completely disappeared in just a few seconds.
Instead, there is a magical blackness that feels like traveling through time.
After a while, the darkness dissipated.
Chen Ming was still standing where he was. He was still wearing a black gown, which matched the background color perfectly.
But the setting on the stage has changed.
What was previously an ancient book with flipping pages and floating words has now become an antique room.
On the ancient desk, a middle-aged man wearing ancient clothes is lowering his head and writing something.
At the same time, a line of vertical words appeared on the screen watching the program: Sima Qian.
This person is Sima Qian.
"China in the Classics" uses a dialogue between ancient and modern times to promote history, and the host Chen Ming plays the role of a modern junior.
suddenly,
"Sima Qian" paused slightly and slowly raised his head.
His face was haggard, and even the hair on his temples was messy, unlike Chen Ming's hair, which was clearly defined and neat.
Seeing Chen Ming,
"Sima Qian" looked confused, put down his pen, and stood up: "Who are you?"
This should be his home.
Why did this strange young man show up at his home?
Moreover, the young man's clothes were completely different from his. I don't know where he came from.
Chen Ming bowed again: "Junior Chen Ming comes from later generations."
Later generations?
Hearing these two words, "Sima Qian"'s doubts became even more intense.
I'm afraid this is not a crazy young man.
I have to say that the acting skills of the drama actors are really amazing.
Obviously this is a live drama performance, but their acting skills made the audience think that Chen Ming had really traveled through time and was talking to an ancient person.
At this moment, Chen Mingdu became a supporting role.
Because in this drama, there is no need for Chen Ming to perform.
He just needs to be a spectator.
"Since you are a descendant, let me ask you, do future generations know about me, Sima Qian?"
"Sima Qian" was just a joke.
But Chen Ming replied seriously: "Thousands of people admire you!"
People like to hear good things.
The ancients were no exception.
Chen Ming's four words obviously made "Sima Qian" happy.
The two of them were just like friends, sitting on the floor and chatting about some weird and ancient things that the audience didn't know. They even had a great time chatting with each other, and it felt like they had just met each other so late.
This program arrangement is to let the audience understand some allusions.
Telling ancient history from the mouth of "Sima Qian" will make the audience understand it more and make a deeper impression.
certainly,
In terms of program design, the arrangement of this section is relatively relaxed.
The audience won't look too sad.
But don’t forget!
The host of this show is Chen Ming.
Another purpose of the program is actually to make up for the regrets of the ancients.
Chen Ming shoulders such a responsibility.
"Sir, do you have any regrets in this life?"
Chen Ming asked softly.
There was silence on the stage.
Asked here,
"Sima Qian"'s mind was slowly immersed in the past, and his expression gradually became sad.
actually,
Chen Ming knew what the regret in his heart was.
It is recorded in ancient books: Sima Qian's regret was his father.
The book "Historical Records" should have been compiled jointly by Sima Tan and Sima Qian.
But during the compilation process, Sima Qian's father Sima Tan unfortunately passed away.
The book "Historical Records" is not only responsible for the world, but also to fulfill my father's last wish.
Seeing "Sima Qian" become sad, Chen Ming stood up and pointed to the other side of the stage: "Sir, please look."
Lights converge and disperse.
On the other side of the stage,
In the place illuminated by the light, another ancient room appeared, and in the room, there were two people, an old man and a young man.
"This is?"
"Sima Qian" was suddenly startled.
This is the picture in his memory.
The old man and the young man are respectively the young Sima Qian and his father, Sima Tan, whose days are numbered.
Chen Ming held his breath and concentrated.
The middle-aged version of "Sima Qian" beside him also did not dare to move.
At this moment,
An old man and a young man over there started a conversation.
"Qian'er, I have run out of oil and my lamp has dried up, and I will die soon."
"Sima Tan" has gray hair and an expression full of indifference.
Death is not scary.
After all, people are subject to birth, old age, illness and death, and things that they will definitely experience in their lifetime cannot be regarded as terrible things.
In an instant, the young version of "Sima Qian" shed tears.
Here comes the touching and sensational part.
The first part is relaxed, but from this moment on, the rest is basically a tear-jerking plot.
Seeing the ancients shed tears, the eyes of the audience in front of the screen also turned red.
They can feel the pain of separation from their loved ones.
"Father, my son cannot live without your teachings."
The young "Sima Qian" bowed slowly, not wanting to let his hot tears wet his cheeks.
"There are only endless books to read, and there is no one who will never leave. Don't be sad for me. "Historical Records" will still be written."
This was the last chat between Sima Qian and Sima Tan before his death.
After this chat,
Sima Qian left home due to business.
Sima Tan did not see Sima Qian again before his death.
Immediately afterwards,
The lights here dimmed.
Before Chen Ming's "Sima Qian" had time to grieve, another light came on.
There was only Sima Qian's father and Sima Tan sitting there.
"What a pity! You and I, father and son, agreed to write history together, but my father is about to break his promise."
"Qian'er!"
A sudden shout made countless people's hearts twitch.
These should be Sima Tan's last words, and billions of people are listening.
