This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 21 I'll be very worried about you (A long chapter of 4200 words! Please add to your favorites!)

At this moment, Lin Xingchu is dancing in her studio.

She was wearing a form-fitting dance outfit, shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. The clothes were thin and elastic, clinging tightly to her delicate body and outlining her exquisite curves.

Besides her, there were more than a dozen backup dancers in the dance studio.

Lin Xingchu is preparing for her concert, and she is currently working with her backup dancers to rehearse the dance routines for the concert.

This is a little surprise she prepared for her fans.

Prior to this, she had never performed singing and dancing in any public setting.

There are quite a few celebrities holding concerts these days. When people first saw that so many celebrities were holding concerts, they knew they had to go see them.

It turned out that once these concerts started, they couldn't be stopped.

The main reason is that concerts are really profitable.

When Lin Xingchu terminated her contract with her former company, she paid a large sum of money in breach of contract fees. In addition, she now runs her own studio, and the company's expenses are also considerable, so she has to find ways to increase revenue.

However, while some concerts are just for show, she doesn't want to fool the audience.

She is very professional in this regard.

After finishing a dance routine, she sat down on a chair to rest and casually checked her phone.

Then she saw a new friend request in her WeChat.

This is her private account. Although she has many friends on it, they are all people she has met in person.

Lin Xingchu clicked on it and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh, it's Lu Ran. You finally remembered to add me as a friend?"

Lin Xingchu had a very deep impression of Lu Ran.

Who else left the show halfway through recording?
Looking at the entire "Future King of Singers" program, there is only one person like Lu Ran.

Of course, Lin Xingchu was still a little angry.

After the recording ended that night, out of the sixteen students in her class, fourteen were confirmed.

The remaining two will be chosen during the revival round.

Of the fourteen people, thirteen were waiting for her in the contestants' waiting room and had all added her as a friend, except for Lu Ran.

This made her wonder if the contestant was being impolite.

That's all.

Lin Xingchu didn't need to get so angry over such a trivial matter that she couldn't eat or sleep.

Now that Lu Ran has taken the initiative to add me as a friend, let's tease him and see how he plans to explain.

Lin Xingchu clicked "accept".

Then, he quickly tapped the phone screen with both hands.

"Lu Ran, Lu Ran, you finally added me as a friend! I've been waiting for you for two whole days! Do you know how I've spent these past two days?"

Lu Ran was about to greet Lin Xingchu after seeing that his friend had accepted his request when he saw this message.

"Waited for two days? What does that mean? Did I mean I should have added her as a friend on the 1st?"

The quick-witted Lu Ran realized what was going on.

He joined Lin Xingchu's class on the night of the 1st, which was just two days ago.

I shouldn't have left back then.

"Holy crap, I've completely forgotten about it."

This is my first time recording a variety show, I have no experience at all.

The staff already said we could leave.

Lu Ran's gaze drifted slowly towards Li Quan.

Li Quan noticed Lu Ran's gaze shift towards him, and awkwardly turned his head away, not daring to meet Lu Ran's eyes.

Because he really is to blame for this.

He's Lu Ran's manager, so he's the one who has to remind Lu Ran about these little things. In the end, he even took Lu Ran out for barbecue.

This is also the first time he's brought an artist to participate in a music variety show; he has no experience.

Lu Ran suspected that Li Quan slapped himself because of this, but it didn't matter.

He quickly typed on his phone.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Lin, something came up that day and I had to leave early."

Lu Ran told the truth.

I had something to do, so I went out for barbecue.

If you directly tell a girl that you're going out for barbecue and are standing her up, wouldn't that cause a huge uproar?

Lin Xingchu deliberately used an angry tone and continued typing the next line.

"I've been waiting for you for two days. How would you feel if I made you wait for me for two days?"

This is clearly a case of someone coming to demand an explanation.

It's because Lu Ran is so serious on stage.

Lin Xingchu wanted to see how Lu Ran would respond.

Just then, Lu Ran sent a message.

"If I were to wait for you for two days, I would definitely wonder if something had happened at home, if you had encountered any accidents, if you needed help, and if you would be safe. In short, I would be very worried about you."

Lin Xingchu's expression froze instantly.

She was a little overwhelmed.

So that's what you were thinking?
At that moment, all she could think about was how rude the contestant was and why he left so early.

Compared to Lu Ran, she is a terrible mentor!
He's only thinking about himself!

"Lu Ran, do you have to be so serious!"

Lin Xingchu was completely at a loss.

At this moment, Lu Ran replied again.

"Teacher, please don't be angry."

Lin Xingchu quickly seized the opportunity to back down: "I'm not angry, why would I be angry? I was just joking with you."

She changed the subject, asking, "Which song are you planning to sing for the first performance? Is it another original song?"

Lu Ran replied with an original post.

Lin Xingchu's eyes widened immediately.

Lu Ran just released one original song, and now he's released another. It's obvious that Lu Ran has a lot of talent to offer.

He has stock!

Lin Xingchu was also very excited.

She herself is a singer-songwriter, and she prefers singer-songwriters like Lu Ran.

Moreover, judging from her performance in the current class placement assessment, Lu Ran's overall strength is also in the top tier within her class.

"Feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

Lin Xingchu replied quickly.

She's not the aloof, mature type; on the contrary, she's quite chatty.

"No problem, thank you, Teacher Lin."

Lu Ran has now developed the habit of saying thank you. It's not much trouble to say it, and sometimes it can even trigger a points reward.

At this moment, Lin Xingchu thought of something.

"I don't know if your company is prepared. Once the first episode airs, you'll definitely be trending on social media, and you'll inevitably be attacked with slander. You don't need to worry about that; just let the company handle it. Being a celebrity means you have to adapt."

"Ok."

Although Lu Ran had never experienced this kind of thing, he had seen it before.

The entertainment industry is full of the same old nonsense, all about fame and fortune.

Without the system, Lu Ran might have gone along with it.

But now that we have systems, why would we care about this? What's the point of having systems if we don't?

Lu Ran was well-prepared mentally for what was to come.

Meng Yichuan and Yang Fang were still sitting together working on the script when Lu Ran, having nothing else to do, decided to stand up.

Li Quan, who was not far away, shivered.

Lu Ran ignored him and walked to the corner of the room where a broom and dustpan were placed.

When he picked up the broom, everyone in the room turned their attention to him.

what do you want?

Lu Ran didn't care about these people's opinions at all. Why should I care about your opinions when I'm doing something positive?

He simply picked up a broom and started sweeping the floor, since he had nothing better to do anyway.

Li Quan was stunned, Zheng Yunxiang was stunned, and the other staff members were also stunned. Zheng Yunxiang called out, "Lu Ran, why are you sweeping the floor?"

Lu Ran replied seriously, "I saw that the floor was a bit dirty, so I cleaned it up. Lu Jie himself is also very hygienic, so it's reasonable for him to clean the floor."

His sweeping of the ground did not affect the filming.

Zheng Yunxiang felt that Lu Ran's logic was indeed sound.

Holy crap, this guy is kind of weirdly righteous!

Which actor on set would do something like that when they have free time?

Zheng Yunxiang was so embarrassed that he flicked his cigarette ash onto the ground.

A few minutes later, Meng Yichuan and Yang Fang, who were focused on discussing the script, heard a voice from the side.

"Excuse me, could you move your leg?"

The two instinctively stepped aside, and then realized something was wrong.

Meng Yichuan turned his head and saw Lu Ran sweeping the floor.

"Lu Ran, what are you doing?" Meng Yichuan asked.

Lu Ran explained it again.

Meng Yichuan and Yang Fang were both stunned.

The key point is that Lu Ran is currently wearing an executive jacket, and this outfit does look a bit strange while he's sweeping the floor.

Meng Yichuan immediately shouted sternly, "What are you all standing there for? Are you going to let Xiao Lu do all the work? Get moving!"

Lu Ran immediately said, "No need, I'll be done soon, let everyone rest."

The staff were resting peacefully, and he didn't want them to get up.

"It's okay, we're not filming today. Everyone can go home after cleaning up."

Meng Yichuan and Yang Fang are still working on some details in the script; they definitely won't be able to finish it today.

It's better to work on the script properly and start tomorrow.

The staff were immediately motivated upon hearing this.

Cleaning is much easier than filming.

Soon, the billiard hall was cleaned spotless by everyone.

Lu Ran also successfully obtained 10 points.

After finishing, he had a meal with Li Quan and then took the company car back to school.

That evening, Lu Ran was added to a chat group by Meng Yichuan.

This chat group is for communication between the film's creative team.

Zheng Yunxiang and Yang Fang are both inside.

Meng Yichuan sent the new script to the group chat.

"Everyone take a look, the script has been changed. Apart from the fact that the theme of the film itself remains the same, Lu Jie's role has been expanded."

Meng Yichuan tagged Lu Ran and said, "Little Lu, I'll be troubling you these next few days. Lu Jie has quite a few scenes to reshoot."

"No problem," Lu Ran replied directly.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yunxiang received a private message.

The other party is Lei Lei, the actress who played a borderline female anchor in the movie.

Most of the actresses in online movies have had plastic surgery.

Lei Lei was the same, but her surgery was done better. Although she used technology, the doctor's skills were better.

She has an oval face, full breasts, and a perky butt.

Lei Lei's character in the movie is responsible for selling sex.

"Brother Zheng, what's going on? Why has the script been changed?"

Zheng Yunxiang told Lei Lei about what happened on set today.

Lei Lei was a hundred percent incredulous.

"Impossible, right? Just because he acted well, they added scenes for him and changed the script for him? This person must have connections."

In fact, Zheng Yunxiang was also wondering about it.

However, it was obvious that Meng Yichuan and Yang Fang were both carried away.

Zheng Yunxiang can understand why these two are acting impulsively.

It's incredible that the boss actually agreed to this.

The boss is always very careful with money in this regard, so why would he give an extra week?
But it wouldn't be right to say that Lu Ran and the boss have any relationship.

Everyone knows Lu Ran's background; he's a college student whom Li Quan signed a contract with at Qincheng University, and he didn't know the boss before.

At this moment, Zheng Yunxiang suddenly remembered what Li Quan had said: Lu Ran could also sing and had participated in "Future Singer King".

He quickly typed to Lei Lei: "Remember to watch it after the Future Singer King airs. Lu Ran is on that show, and I feel like he has something to do with it."

"Given our company's capabilities, it would be quite an achievement to even get Lu Ran into the show. Do you really think Lu Ran will make a splash on the show and bring a huge influx of viewers to our movie?"

Lei Lei simply didn't believe it.

If only talent shows were that simple these days.

You can become a huge star just by singing a random song? Are you kidding me?
"Whether you believe it or not, we'll see when the time comes," Zheng Yunxiang said.

He had no intention of speaking ill of Lu Ran behind his back; he found the young man quite interesting.

"Okay, I'll see what happens then."

In the following days, Lu Ran began his life on the film set.

Every morning, the driver would pick him up from the school gate and then drop him off after filming.

These added scenes are basically all related to him.

In the original script, Lu Jie didn't appear very often, but now his appearances are second only to the male lead, Chen Mo.

The news that Lu Ran had been given more screen time has already spread throughout the production crew.

Like Lei Lei, many people in the crew strongly suspected that Lu Ran was hired through connections.

Otherwise, why would the boss agree?

Soon, it was July 11th.

At 6 p.m. that day, on the film set.

Meng Yichuan shouted, "Cut! Okay, that's a wrap for today! Tomorrow is the last scene, and then filming will be finished."

The final scene is the ultimate showdown between Lu Jie and Chen Mo, in which Lu Jie commits suicide.

After Meng Yichuan finished speaking, cheers erupted from the audience.

Li Quan immediately put his arm around Zheng Yunxiang's shoulder and said with a smile, "Old Zheng, let's go, let's go to my place for a drink tonight."

Zheng Yunxiang asked in confusion, "What? I'm not gay."

Li Quan immediately lost his composure. He resisted the urge to punch Zheng Yunxiang and said, "The future king of singers will premiere tonight. Let's watch Lu Ran together."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yunxiang became interested.

"Future Singer" has been heavily promoted on various platforms these past few days, making it one of the most popular variety shows recently, with high audience expectations.

Most importantly, he wanted to see Lu Ran's charm.

"Okay."

Li Quan then looked at Lu Ran.

"How about you stay at my place tonight and come straight to the set tomorrow?"

Lu Ran shook his head: "I'm going to run on the track tonight."

Because he no longer has time to run in the morning, Lu Ran now runs in the evenings.

Fitness should not be neglected.

Li Quan was speechless.

What are you trying to achieve by being so self-disciplined?
You'll behave yourself the next day when an ugly, fat, rich woman takes a liking to you.

Li Quan then invited several actors he was familiar with, including Lei Lei.

Lei Lei had already planned to watch the show, so she didn't refuse.

After buying food and drinks, the group headed straight for Li Quan's house.

PS: Dear readers, please stand up! I'm begging you on my knees for two favors.

The first thing is that if you're able, you can vote for monthly tickets after midnight tonight. If you want to save them for double at the end of the month, that's fine too. It's up to you, but of course, it's best to vote if you can. You don't need to vote now. The new book ranking will refresh on Monday, so vote after midnight tonight. I will update two chapters to remind everyone then.

The second thing is that everyone should post more comments when they have time, as the comment score in the overall rating for the new book is a bit low. Traffic for new books on Qidian is currently very low, and they basically have to rely on the new book ranking. Please help boost the data so the book can get to the top of the ranking.

The key points are below:
The two chapters on Monday will be updated around 12:05 AM. I'm trying to climb the new book charts, so please vote with your monthly tickets after reading the new chapters. Thank you everyone. The normal update time will resume on Tuesday.

The book was updated with 65,000 words in just ten days during its new release period, so its quality speaks for itself.
