This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 109 Fan Representative Conference
The role that Lu Ran will play in this drama is both important and unimportant.

The important thing is his identity; in the drama, this character is the male lead's older brother.

It's not important because it doesn't have many scenes.

What are now called fantasy dramas should more accurately be called fantasy idol dramas.

From the very beginning of the project, this kind of drama revolves around the male and female leads, then finds a few good actors to play supporting roles, and brings along a few less famous actors to serve as foils.

The main plot of the entire drama revolves around the male and female leads.

Since Lu Ran is currently popular, it's perfectly acceptable to cast him as a supporting male character.

There shouldn't be any problems with the producer either.

Ning Sirou was very happy.

Finally, I can film with Lu Ran again!

Lu Ran is handsome and has a pleasant voice.

"Director Fang, I'll go ask right now!"

Ning Sirou quickly jogged to a quiet place and made a phone call to Lu Ran.

In the conference room of Chang'an Entertainment.

At this moment, the first meeting of all employees of the Combustion Studio was being held in the conference room.

Lu Ran sat in the first seat, and Li Quan was sitting next to him on his right.

The remaining people include finance, new media operations, fan management, and drivers.

The team has just been set up and doesn't have many people; most of them are the original staff from Chang'an Entertainment.

Lu Ran said seriously, "The main task of the studio next is to prepare for the first fan representative conference. This requires everyone to organize and establish fan groups during this period and divide the fans according to their regions."

"The reason for holding the fan representative conference is that we need to listen more to the voices of the people. This is the first thing we will do after the recording of the King of Singers is over."

"Fan representatives will be elected through an election in the fan group. Our live broadcast will then be held online, with fan representatives from various regions joining the live broadcast room to express their opinions."

Li Quan was scribbling notes in his notebook.

After finishing his explanation, Lu Ran asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"

The employee in charge of fan management asked, "What were the main topics of discussion among the fan representatives at the meeting?"

"It can provide advice on decisions regarding the future development of the studio."

The employee nodded and continued, "If it's just fan representatives from different regions attending, the number of people isn't large. We can easily organize an offline meeting where everyone can gather together. This would also enhance the relationship between you and your fans, and the investment in this part wouldn't be too much."

Lu Ran raised his hand and pressed it down: "Your idea is dangerous. Large-scale offline gatherings need to be reported in advance. We can just hold online events."

"Okay." The employee said nothing more.

Just then, Lu Ran's phone rang.

It turned out to be Ning Sirou.

"The meeting is adjourned. I need to take this call."

Lu Ran left the meeting room with his phone in his hand.

As soon as the call connected, Ning Sirou exclaimed, "Lu Ran, congratulations on establishing your studio!"

"Thank you, this is both an honor and a pressure," Lu Ran said earnestly.

Ning Sirou had already gotten used to Lu Ran's style and said with a smile, "I have a role here, see if you're interested."

"What role?"

Ning Sirou then explained the situation on this side.

"This character has a lot of action scenes, but our action director said it's okay. The male lead doesn't do any action scenes anyway, so it doesn't matter if you don't. In post-production, we'll add slow motion and you can just strike a few poses. You're just responsible for looking cool."

After she finished speaking, Ning Sirou added another sentence.

She was worried that Lu Ran would lose interest in acting if he heard there were action scenes involved.

After all, it's quite difficult to film action scenes well. Not to mention the action choreographer and cinematographer, at the very least, you have to put in a lot of effort on the actors.

But most actors these days haven't trained, so they're naturally not good at fighting.

Nowadays, the action scenes in fantasy idol dramas are basically all subpar.

The action choreographer gives the action instructions, but the actors can't perform them.

In the end, all that was left was slow motion and PowerPoint-style fight scenes.

As long as you're willing to slack off enough, you can get a film.

Lu Ran thought for a moment.

He's quite interested in action scenes.

When I was a kid, I watched kung fu movies and learned a lot of the moves from them.

Now that I have the opportunity to film, I should give it a try.

"Send me the script first so I can take a look. Talk to my agent about the fee."

Lu Ran has already adapted to his celebrity status.

He was incredibly skilled at directing Quan Ge.

Ning Sirou happily said, "Great! Director Lu, I'll treat you to dinner when you come to the set. And I wish you the best of luck in winning the championship!"

"Thank you."

Lu Ran hung up the phone.

The show is called "Song of the Clear Sky," an S-level project, and it's being produced by Tencent Video. Playing a small supporting role in it would be quite helpful for him.

Even though it's a supporting role, it still allows you to enjoy the promotional resources of an S-level project.

"Trying to fool the audience? What do you take me for? I will never fool them. If you're going to act, then act properly. It's just an action scene; if you don't know how, you can learn!"

If I, Lu Ran, can learn to act like Lu Ting in three days, give me another three days, and learning an action scene wouldn't be too much for me!
Lu Ran returned to the conference room and made arrangements for the follow-up work.

Nothing major happened at the studio.

He was thinking of chatting with his fans after the recording of "Future Singer" was over to see what suggestions they had.

Li Quan was left to handle everything else.

After the meeting, he told Li Quan about the "Song of the Clear Sky".

Li Quan's eyes lit up: "I know about this. It seems that the actor who played the tiger demon Changfeng has been detained."

Lu Ran also became interested.

Ning Sirou only mentioned that the actor's career had been ruined, without going into details.

Li Quan whispered, "That actor was soliciting prostitutes at a hotel. He called over a roast chicken, who looked quite pretty, wearing stockings, high heels, and a uniform. But when she took off her skirt, they realized they could compare sizes. The male actor couldn't help but punch her and told her to get lost. The roast chicken was also unhappy, having not earned a penny and being punched. She couldn't swallow her anger, so she exposed the actor online."

Lu Ran gasped in shock upon hearing this.

I thought they were ordering roast chicken, but they ordered a rooster instead.

This circle is too chaotic!
"Brother Quan, you go arrange the time. I'm going back to study the script first."

"Go ahead, I'll definitely get you a high price," Li Quan said, patting his chest.

Starring in "The Song of the Clear Sky" is different from my previous two acting roles.

The previous time was when I was working for a company, and the other time was for a charity performance.

This is a legitimate commercial performance, and given Lu Ran's current popularity, his salary won't be low.

In the afternoon, Lu Ran went back to school and attended a class.

Fortunately, he is now a senior, and in the first semester he only has three classes a week.

By the second semester, there were basically no classes at all.

Given his special circumstances, his counselor made special arrangements for him.

After all, this is the first time in all these years that Qincheng University has produced a genuine artist.

Not to mention the counselor, even the principal pays close attention to Lu Ran.

Celebrities who embody this positive energy are extremely rare.

The more famous Lu Ran becomes, the better Qincheng University's education is, producing an upright and kind student.

The school also made a request: to ask Lu Ran to sing a song at the school's welcome party for new students.

Lu Ran had no reason to refuse, so he agreed immediately.

After lunch, Lu Ran returned to his residence in Wutongyuan to study the script.

The character he plays is a tiger demon named Changfeng, who belongs to the demon race and comes from the ancient White Tiger clan. He is the eldest son of the clan.

Changfeng's weapon is a 3.2-meter-long black iron spear, and he also possesses many exquisite martial arts techniques.

Lu Ran astutely noticed the problem.

It wasn't just any fight scene; it was a weapon fight scene, specifically with long spears.

He first searched online for information about spears.

There are several types of spears, such as the fancy spear, which is commonly seen in movies and TV dramas and is generally about two meters long.

The actual battle spears used in combat were generally about three meters long, which is equivalent to one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) in ancient times.

"The length of the spear in this drama is quite accurate."

Changfeng's weapon was a 3.2-meter-long black iron spear, which was about 10 feet long.

The spear is hailed as the king of weapons, with a wide attack range and the ability to both defend and thrust.

The red tassel on the spear is a blood shield, used to block blood from the spear. A flick of the wrist can remove the blood and keep the hands dry.

After understanding these basics, Lu Ran focused on how to handle the gun.

"The core of marksmanship consists of three points: blocking, seizing, and thrusting!"

"To block a spear, the spear tip arcs downwards and to the left to parry an attack from the outside. To hold the spear, the tip arcs downwards and to the right to intercept an attack from the inside. To thrust the spear, the spear tip is a straight thrust that requires speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness."

It may seem like there are only three moves, but it's actually quite difficult to master.

Lu Ran did not yet have a suitable weapon.

He needs to buy a gun of similar length before he can train.

Setting aside marksmanship for the moment, Lu Ran began analyzing the character.

"Since it is a tiger demon, even if it transforms into human form, it will still show tiger characteristics in some aspects. We can refine it further, add some tiger details, and integrate it into the character."

This one is relatively simple.

Lu Ran searched for "Animal World" on his computer and started watching videos about tigers.

He had to learn to observe the tiger's walking, ambush, and licking of its paws, as well as the tiger's muscle lines and changes in its eyes, all of which he incorporated into the role.

Lu Ran takes every role seriously.

This is being responsible to oneself, and also to the audience.
