This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 22 Lu Ran is about to become a sensation! (Seeking monthly votes!)
The promotion of "Future Singer" has been nonstop on platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, and Kuaiyin these past few days.

On short video platforms like Douyin and Kuaiyin, users can easily come across marketing videos related to "The Future Singer" after scrolling through videos for a while.

And it just keeps happening on Weibo.

Today's Weibo is different from the Weibo of the past. In the past, Weibo was a platform for users to share their lives.

Now that short videos exist, everyone has basically moved to short videos.

Weibo is now just like a news app.

Trending topics on Weibo have become the focus of everyone's attention; these are essentially news ranking lists.

I just pop in to check Weibo's trending topics, see what happened today, and then I'm done.

With top star Jiang Yaofeng joining the show, "The Future Singer" is bound to be a hit.

It's common knowledge that top celebrities have fans who specifically boost their online presence.

The fighting power of this group of fans can be described as quite terrifying.

On Weibo, almost every Weibo post related to "The Future King of Singers" has comments from Jiang Yaofeng's fans.

"Looking forward to Jiang Yaofeng!"

"I've already booked the show, and I'm waiting for it to premiere with Mentor Jiang!"

"This name has appeared far too many times. No wonder it's my Jiang Yaofeng!"

"Programs with a high content of Jiang Zemin's influence are bound to be good!"

With the help of this group, "The Future Singer" has remained a trending topic ever since its official broadcast time was announced at 8 a.m.

Since it's Saturday, the topic's ranking jumped to third place after 6 PM.

This has drawn the attention of a large number of casual viewers to the program.

"What era are we living in? They're still doing talent shows? What's so great about the level of these celebrities these days?"

"I strongly suggest that the current talent show should only have two episodes. The first episode is for introducing the contestants, and the second episode is for awarding the champion directly, since the champion has already been decided in advance anyway."

"Everyone, let's all go home. How many of these people can sing well? The Chinese music scene has been dead for a long time. There are hardly any good songs or good singers."

Many people are not optimistic about talent shows.

After all, this is already a very common type of program.

In particular, talent shows in recent years have failed to provide the entertainment industry with high-quality talent.

Regardless, the show has already gained popularity.

……

Li Quan's home.

Zheng Yunxiang and the others sat on small stools around the table, drinking and eating.

After a few drinks, everyone started talking more.

Lei Lei asked, "Brother Quan, just tell us the truth, what's the situation with Lu Ran?"

Lei Lei has been coming to the set occasionally these past few days to reshoot scenes, including her interactions with Lu Ran.

After seeing Lu Ran's good looks, Lei Lei's dissatisfaction with him completely disappeared.

Putting everything else aside, his face alone is a gift from God.

If the script had included a sex scene, she would have asked the director to add one between her and Lu Ran; she would have made a huge profit anyway.

Today she was wearing a tank top with a white patch on her chest, her navel was exposed, and her slender waist was showing.

Li Quan took a sip of his drink and said, "It's going to start broadcasting soon, what's the rush? Just watch it yourself."

Li Quan smiled but remained silent.

A few days ago, the production team contacted him specifically to discuss Lu Ran's situation.

Because one of the highlights planned by the production team for this first episode was Lu Ran.

Lei Lei glared at Li Quan playfully and said in a complaining tone, "Brother Quan, you're getting worse and worse. You didn't even tell me this."

Li Quan waved his hand dismissively: "Stop it, your coquettishness won't work on me."

Lei Lei said angrily, "Gay men are such a hassle!"

The group burst into laughter.

Only Li Quan couldn't smile.

"I'll shave off my beard right now!" Li Quan said angrily.

Actually, he wasn't really angry.

At that moment, the TV reached eight o'clock.

The screen on Qincheng TV changed, and the opening animation of "The Future Singer" began to play.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the television.

"The Future Singer" was broadcast simultaneously on Qincheng TV and Orange Video.

Both platforms have made some detailed plans. For example, the premiere on Orange Video cannot be fast-forwarded and is basically synchronized with the TV broadcast.

If you want to watch it again, you can only do so on Orange Video, and there are also member-exclusive content and other settings.

Li Quan and the others just watch the full program; watching TV is enough for them.

After the opening animation aired, a preview of some exciting scenes was shown beforehand.

This kind of trailer is like clickbait, it lures viewers in and makes them want to keep watching.

One of the scenes involves Lin Xingchu and Zhou Hao vying for Lu Ran.

After these are broadcast, there will be a series of interviews with the contestants.

It contains Lu Ran's words: "Make up your mind, fear no sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and strive for victory."

You should know that the other contestants were saying things like, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm here to win the championship."

"I think I sing well, who disagrees? If you disagree, come and fight me!"

"I should sit in the mentor's seat."

There are far too many such statements, after all, everyone now understands the principle that even negative publicity can be considered positive.

When Lu Ran's serious answer was sandwiched in between, the audience's feeling was naturally different. "This handsome guy is so handsome when he's serious!"

"He's so handsome, he's my type!"

"Why is he so serious? You're participating in a talent show, not going to war."

"These are the words of a great man. This contestant is better than the others; he is cultured."

At Li Quan's house, no one was surprised.

After working together for the past few days, everyone has gotten used to Lu Ran's performance.

Lu Ran is a really positive person.

Next up is the mentors' performance show.

Finally, it was the first contestant's turn to go on stage.

Lu Ran's name appeared on the big screen.

Zheng Yunxiang and the others immediately sat up straight, their eyes glued to the television, afraid of missing a single detail.

Then came the reactions of the other contestants.

The contestants' mockery of Lu Ran was all edited into the program.

Zheng Yunxiang glanced at Li Quan, only to find that Li Quan was not angry at all, but was instead sipping his wine.

I don't know what's so special about this beer.

"There's definitely something wrong."

Zheng Yunxiang had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't believe it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Ran walked onto the stage. In the interview just before going on stage, his answers were still full of positive energy.

They were so rigid and inflexible, it was as if they had no emotions at all.

"Stop talking, you're being way too positive!"

"Brother, are you in the wrong place? Please turn left for the civil service exam interview."

"Bro, were you preparing for the civil service exam and got dragged into this show?"

Given Lu Ran's status as a college student, the audience misunderstood him.

When Lu Ran stood on the stage, he announced that the song he was about to sing was called "Sailor," an original song.

Lei Lei asked in surprise, "Lu Ran can also write songs."

Li Quan said smugly, "Just listen carefully."

He put down his wine glass and picked up the cigarette case on the table.

Since everyone present smoked, there weren't many concerns.

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, thought for a moment, and then offered one to each of the others.

Zheng Yunxiang waved his hand and said, "I just finished smoking."

"Take it first, you'll want to smoke it later," Li Quan said.

Zheng Yunxiang was full of questions, but he still took the cigarette.

Just then, the accompaniment to "Sailor" came from the television.

Everyone's eyes lit up; it sounded even better than they had expected.

Finally, Lu Ran's singing voice came through.

"The bitter feeling of sand blowing against my face..."

As soon as the song began, the melancholy in it reached everyone's heart.

The entire living room fell completely silent, everyone holding a cigarette and watching television.

On stage, Lu Ran didn't make any unnecessary movements; he simply stood there and sang without moving.

But his singing voice is so touching.

He said, "What's a little pain in the face of wind and rain? Wipe away your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams!"

He said, "What's a little pain in the face of wind and rain? Wipe away your tears, don't ask why."

When the song reached the chorus, Zheng Yunxiang reached for a lighter on the table and lit a cigarette.

His expression was complicated, and his eyes were glistening with tears.

None of the people present have any connections or resources.

We've all struggled our way up, and we can't even remember all the hardships we've endured.

Lu Ran's song touched their hearts.

The singing continues.

Lei Lei didn't cry during the chorus, but when Lu Ran sang "gradually ignoring news from my father, mother, and hometown," she burst into tears.

She wasn't from Qincheng; she was just a wanderer far from home.

Lei Lei fought back her tears and lit a cigarette in her hand.

She took a drag of her cigarette and said in a choked voice, "What is Lu Ran doing?"

Lu Ran's singing voice is infectious, and his ability to immerse himself in the emotions of the songs allows him to better understand the feelings in them, making it easy for his voice to move the audience.

No one responded to Lei Lei; everyone's attention was on the television, on Lu Ran on the screen.

When the song finally ended, a sigh came from the room.

There is no easy way in adult life.

They heard themselves in the song "Sailor," and they also heard encouragement.

Wipe away your tears and don't ask why!
Keep moving forward, keep moving forward, what's a little pain in the face of wind and rain!
At this moment, everyone understood why the boss agreed without hesitation when Meng Yichuan suggested adding more scenes.

It's all because of Lu Ran!

It's not because Lu Ran has any connections!

It's because Lu Ran is about to become famous!
