This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 12 is a bit eerie
Lu Ran's company, Chang'an Entertainment, primarily focuses on actors.

This company may not be considered a big company in the entertainment industry, but it operates several accounts with millions of followers.

These accounts have gained a lot of popularity by shooting short videos.

The boss then entered the online movie industry.

Most online movies in this world now follow a low-budget approach.

Chang'an Entertainment uses the same tactic, adding some erotic scenes to movies and pairing them with an attractive cover.

Currently, Chang'an Entertainment isn't doing particularly well in the online film sector, but it rarely loses money and can even make a small profit.

As for big-budget web series, TV dramas, and theatrical films, they have little to do with small companies like theirs.

The online movie that Li Quan asked Lu Ran to make a cameo appearance in was also invested in by the company itself.

It's just an online movie anyway, so we can do whatever we want, as long as it passes the censorship.

Lu Ran had no objection to this.

There's still a long way to go before the next competition, so it won't be difficult for him to take on a cameo role.

These days, you're almost embarrassed to call yourself a star if you don't act in a movie.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Quan transferred two thousand yuan to Lu Ran directly.

"This is a red envelope from your boss, not a bonus. It's a gift from your boss that he gave you separately."

Lu Ran accepted the money without hesitation.

In his memory, the female boss usually wore clothes that were not cheap, and drove a luxury car whose price Lu Ran did not know.

Chang'an Entertainment is a small company, but the boss must still have some money.

They take advantage of capitalists whenever possible.

Li Quan picked up the car keys and walked to the motorcycle.

As soon as he inserted the key, Lu Ran's hand landed on his dashboard.

"Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking."

Li Quan pointed to the other side of the road: "My home is right across the street. I'll enter the residential area after I cross the road."

Lu Ran shook his head firmly.

"You can either call a designated driver or push your motorcycle inside. If you don't want to push it, I'll help you push it."

For such a short distance, Li Quan definitely wouldn't call a designated driver.

Li Quan finally understood what was different about Lu Ran.

Lu Ran is such a positive role model now!
In the past, Lu Ran would never have cared about these things.

Li Quan got off the motorcycle: "I'll push it in."

“I’m going to keep an eye on you,” Lu Ran said.

Li Quan was speechless.

Then, under Lu Ran's watchful eye, he slowly pushed the motorcycle into his parking space in the residential area before Lu Ran left.

Li Quan felt a shiver run through his body; he had a bad feeling.

Lu Ran is really a bit strange!

On the other side, Lu Ran also received a system notification.

[10 points earned.]

He successfully prevented an impending drunk driving incident!

Then, Lu Ran headed towards the subway station.

It's not that he wants to save money; he already has a 2,000 yuan red envelope, so taking a taxi back to his school dormitory is no problem at all.

He mainly wanted to see if anyone on the subway needed to be offered a seat.

Once on the subway, Lu Ran checked his points.

He received 40 points for singing "Sailor" during the official recording today.

Including the points he accumulated from other positive behaviors, he has a total of 135 points, which can be used for two draws.

Lu Ran wasn't in a hurry to draw the prize.

Lottery draws are largely based on luck, so he needs to do some preparation beforehand.

Unfortunately, there was no one on the subway that needed to be given up for so late at night, so Lu Ran didn't earn any more points.

When he got back to the dormitory, it was already midnight. He called the dormitory supervisor to open the door, and Lu Ran praised her, saying, "Auntie, you look so beautiful today," thus earning 5 points.

The dormitory supervisor was left with a happy expression.

When Lu Ran returned to the dormitory, only her roommate Cheng Dong was there.

Qincheng University starts summer vacation early; it's already summer vacation time.

Cheng Dong stayed at school because his girlfriend was preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, so he found a summer job to work while spending time with her.

Cheng Dong was engrossed in playing a game on his computer when he casually asked, "Lu Ran, how's the competition going?"

His roommates all know that he signed with an entertainment company, and they are all quite curious about it.

"I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can't say," Lu Ran said.

It turned out that it was okay when I told the company boss, but not when I told other people.

"A confidentiality agreement? I'll knock your head off, and you'll still keep it a secret!" Cheng Dong said casually, without asking any further questions.

However, he did not hear a response from Lu Ran after he finished speaking.

When his screen turned black and white because his game character died, Cheng Dong turned to look at Lu Ran.

And so they saw Lu Ran sitting in a chair in the dimly lit dormitory, his gaze deep and his face full of emotion, as if he were lost in memories.

Cheng Dong asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Ran sighed and said in a voice full of emotion, "After going to the arts and culture scene and seeing all sorts of people and things, who can remain calm when they return to this ordinary dormitory?"

Cheng Dong said directly, "In the current entertainment industry, let alone the arts and culture scene, we haven't seen much literature or art. You can stir things up for now, I'm going back to playing games."

Lu Ran didn't waste any time and went straight to wash up.

He still remembered the system saying that his physique was not good.

He decided to get up early tomorrow and work out!

Meanwhile, the recording of "The Future Singer" has also ended.

We'll shoot a few more shots tomorrow to finish the rest.

On the mentor's seat, Lin Xingchu stretched and started to worry about her dark circles.

She stayed up all night again.

Although she always says she will definitely not stay up late tonight, she still can't help it.

Some of them were due to work, while others were beyond her control.

Fortunately, starting from the next episode, filming will be done during the day, so there's no need to stay up all night.

As she stretched, the white short-sleeved shirt on her chest was stretched into a perfect arc.

At this moment, Lin Xingchu suddenly remembered something.

"Where's my first contestant, Lu Ran? I want to add him on WeChat!"

Lin Xingchu immediately stood up from her seat and strode towards the contestants' waiting room.

She was already imagining Lu Ran's reaction when he saw her.

"His first words will definitely be 'Hello, Teacher Lin'."

Lin Xingchu found Lu Ran's methodical way of speaking quite interesting.

Maybe it's because he's handsome.

However, when she arrived at the players' waiting room, she did not find Lu Ran.

Lin Xingchu grabbed a staff member and asked, "Where's Lu Ran?"

The staff member said, "Lu Ran left two hours ago."

Lin Xingchu was stunned.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

"He's gone? He's gone? He actually abandoned his mentor and just left?!"

Lin Xingchu still couldn't believe it. Everyone was there except for Lu Ran.

She pressed, "Where did Lu Ran go?"

The staff member said, "They should have gone home."

Lin Xingchu was completely helpless.

She decided that when she saw Lu Ran again, she would definitely torture him and teach him a lesson, so that this student would know how powerful she, as his mentor, was.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Su Qingtang hurriedly got into the driver's car.

After finishing her work during the day, she quickly took the next available flight back, not daring to waste a single second.

The sheet music for "The Song of the Earth" stored on her phone was like a seductive little devil, constantly tempting her.

She simply cannot concentrate on anything else.

Even on the plane back, she kept looking at the sheet music for the song, thinking about how to sing it well.

After looking at it from different angles, she finally came to a conclusion.

It's very difficult to sing this song well; you definitely can't reach your perfect state within a few days.

But she has already notified everyone that there will be a song selection meeting at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and she needs to get the group of people at the meeting to agree on choosing this song.

This demo isn't enough; she has to sing it herself.

"Who sang this demo? It's terrible, so bad," Su Qingtang thought to herself.

Finally, the driver drove into her residential area.

Su Qingtang quickly went home, put her things away, took a shower, and then put on a face mask.

She lay on the sofa wearing a silk nightgown, beneath which lay her fair skin, slightly protruding breasts, a flat stomach, and her long legs crossed.

Su Qingtang was holding a printed sheet music file of "The Song of the Earth".

As she watched, she sang aloud.

"To perform this song well, the overall vocal range should be between C5 and G5. However, if you just pile on high notes, such high notes will definitely make the sound shrill. When singing, you need to use a mixed voice to keep the high notes clear and bright but not harsh."

"When releasing a single, you can sing from G4 to B4, but live performances need to be even higher for a better effect."

Both of these vocal ranges fall within the range of a soprano, and the entire song must be sung within this range.

The singing difficulty here is exceptionally high.

In addition to these, Su Qingtang also discovered pronunciation problems with the lyrics.

Like trampling it flat, spreading it out, singing those three words, when singing the first word, you must have a powerful presence.

This also involves the use of breath.

"Increasing the drag to increase the impact of the airflow, thereby generating explosive force, can make the pronunciation clear, crisp and powerful."

The more Su Qingtang pondered it, the more she felt that this song was worth studying.

She holds a master's degree in ethnic vocal music and is currently pursuing a doctorate.

This song could definitely be included in her doctoral dissertation.

After making most of the preparations, Su Qingtang finally went to sleep.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Su Qingtang arrived at the conference room of the folk song art festival organizer on time.

The meeting room was mostly filled with people in their forties and fifties, some even older.

Although Su Qingtang had only slept for a few hours, she was full of energy and showed no signs of sleepiness.

At this moment, an elderly man with graying hair asked, "Xiao Su, why did you call us here in such a hurry? Has something happened?"

With a smile, Su Qingtang took out the sheet music file for "The Song of the Earth" from her bag.

"Everyone, take a look first."

The section on the singing method of "Song of the Earth" in this chapter is only a partial excerpt, and it comes from my doctoral dissertation "My Exploration and Practice of Jin Tielin's Theoretical System of National Vocal Music Teaching," specifically the section on "Song of the Earth."
