This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 26 Director Lu: No one can judge me! (A long chapter of 4400 words, please read on!)

Lei Lei's expression froze, and she stared at Lu Ran in surprise.

She suspected she had misheard.

Lu Ran didn't actually intend to avoid it from the beginning?

If Lu Ran were to challenge Jiang Yaofeng with his current strength, it would be like sending Benboerba to capture Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

This is an impossible task.

The reason why top celebrities are top celebrities is not only because of the traffic they bring, but also because they have a lot of capital behind them.

To put it bluntly, a whole bunch of people depend on him for their money.

In this situation, you are not just facing a top influencer, but a huge capital group.

This is why some top celebrities can quickly resolve even minor issues.

Once you reach that position, you won't fall unless there's a very serious public opinion crisis.

Of course, it is also possible that they will gradually fall out of the top tier.

After all, in today's entertainment industry, there are the most popular celebrities, one after another.

Jiang Yaofeng's position is stable because he didn't reach the top of the entertainment industry through film and television dramas, but through singing.

Despite the controversies surrounding him, his status is beyond question.

The only top star among the younger generation in the music industry.

In this field, no one can shake his position.

Lu Ran didn't seem to feel anything.

If you can't become a top star even with the help of the system, then you might as well just kill yourself.

However, he now adopts the attitude of not attacking proactively but also never backing down.

We haven't reached that point yet.

Seeing Lei Lei's surprised look, Lu Ran said, "I was just joking, you actually took it seriously."

Lei Lei immediately retorted playfully, "You're so naughty!"

She even punched Lu Ran, her chest, clad only in a tight-fitting tank top, swaying slightly with the movement.

It's not that Lu Ran doesn't appreciate beauty, it's just that the technology involved is too advanced.

Meng Yichuan shouted, "Alright, hurry up and get your makeup done. We'll wrap up filming after we finish this last scene."

Lu Ran went straight to get her makeup done with the makeup artist.

The film crew has rented this farmhouse, and preparations are being carried out here.

On the other hand, Li Quan also managed to build good relationships with these reporters and even added them all on WeChat.

Managing the relationship between celebrities and the media is something an agent should be doing.

This was the first time Li Quan had encountered such a situation.

After seeing the group of reporters off, Li Quan thought to himself, "I have to learn from the middle school too."

A celebrity's future development is also closely related to their agent.

A capable agent and an incapable agent are worlds apart.

Li Quan felt the pressure and was determined not to hold Lu Ran back.

Meanwhile, the reporters returned to their cars.

It was very hot outside, but the air conditioning in the car was very cool.

The reporters opened their laptops and raced against time to publish the interviews they had just conducted.

Lu Ran is still trending on social media, and whoever posts related news first will be the first to ride that wave of popularity.

Soon, related news began to appear online.

Lu Ran responds to controversy over her Weibo nickname!

"Lu Ran was running on the playground last night when his show aired!"

Lu Ran responds to Jiang Yaofeng!

"Lu Ran's outfit!"

Topics were displayed in the news content.

When netizens came across the relevant information, they immediately saw this information.

"Holy crap? What's with Lu Ran's outfit?"

"The video is hilarious! How can Lu Ran be so serious!"

"The reporter should ask him if he is preparing for the civil service exam."

"Don't worry, Lu Ran, we will definitely not burn it when we shouldn't."

Netizens were amused by Lu Ran's appearance and words.

This person is so positive!
In the end, everyone's attention naturally fell on Lu Ran's response to Jiang Yaofeng.

"Lu Ran's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but reasonable and well-founded."

"Like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice, that's so true. To be honest, I listen to the emotions in the song 'Sailor'. I don't understand the melody. I just feel that it touches me, and that's enough."

"The way educated people speak is just different from that of uneducated people."

Amid the discussion, Jiang Yaofeng's fans joined in.

It is well known that when a celebrity gets into trouble, their fans usually act before the celebrity does.

Fans in the fandom are like people with sensitive skin; they can burst into tears at the slightest touch.

As Lu Ran's reply went viral, Jiang Yaofeng's fans on Weibo began to control the comments section.

"Yaofeng is an original musician, and his evaluation is spot on! The melody of 'Sailor' does lack innovation. Lu Ran's fans shouldn't blindly praise it; Lu Ran himself has admitted it."

"They're already rushing into bundled marketing in the very first phase?"

"Unscrupulous media outlets create controversy, and the production team deliberately edits together conflicts to promote the royal family. Lu Ran's royal family script is too obvious."

After the fans left the scene, the controversy escalated.

Many entertainment companies were originally planning to take action against Lu Ran today.

After all, Lu Ran posed too great a threat to their people.

Even if they don't know how Lu Ran will perform in the next episode, they still have to take action.

As for how to make a move, it's very simple: just gather some ambiguous dirt on them.

It will have a slight impact.

Topics such as Lu Ran's royal family script, bundled marketing, and Lu Ran's pretense of positive energy gradually began to emerge and appear on users' mobile phones.

After Lu Ran finished her makeup and went through today's script again, the group prepared to set off.

In today's scenes, Lu Ran is the real protagonist.

However, the final scenes take place in a house on a hillside in the village, not at a farmhouse.

As Lu Ran got into the car, Li Quan walked up to him and said seriously, "Focus on filming. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of everything, and the company will handle it all."

Lu Ran could roughly guess what had happened.

"Brother Quan, thank you very much."

"Don't mention it, it's nothing. I won't go with you," Li Quan said with a smile.

Lu Ran got into the car and closed his eyes, immersing himself in the emotion.

This scene is very similar to the scene in "In the Name of the People" where Director Qi's curtain falls.

According to the plot, Chen Mo had already obtained evidence of Lu Jie's crimes and had also caught Lu Jie's online girlfriend, who was a borderline female anchor played by Lei Lei.

However, Chen Mo didn't know where Lu Jie had gone.

In fact, Lu Jie went home.

His parents are dead, and only his grandfather is left in the family.

He had been lying to his grandfather, saying he was an official outside the palace.

When his grandfather learned about this, he specifically told him, "Be careful when you come back. Don't let anyone know that you are an official. I won't tell anyone either. If the villagers know that you are an official, they will definitely ask you to do things for them."

When Lu Jie was a child, his family was bullied a lot by the villagers.

Grandpa silently protected Lu Jie's lies.

Lu Jie knew he was going to die, so he wanted to see his grandfather one last time before he died.

After the crew finished the preparations, Meng Yichuan said to Lu Ran, "To be honest, this scene is a bit difficult, but I believe in you. I believe you can do it well!"

Lu Ran nodded.

He is now completely immersed in the role of Lu Jie.

Meng Yichuan picked up the megaphone and shouted, "On your marks!"

The scene immediately became busy. Lu Ran quickly ran to an SUV and sat down in the driver's seat.

He already had a driver's license, and now it comes in handy.

"Scene 39, Shot 1, First Shot!"

The script supervisor snaps the clapperboard, and filming officially begins!
Lu Ran drove along the cement road in the village, and then drove onto the dirt road on the mountain.

He drove until the road ended before stopping.

After getting out of the car, his gaze fell on the small earthen house on the hillside.

This earthen house is where he lived since he was a child.

Later, when he had money, he wanted to rebuild his family's house, but his grandfather sternly refused, saying that he wouldn't need the money and that it should be kept in the city.

Lu Ran's expression was complicated. He slowly took off his executive jacket, revealing a black polo shirt underneath.

He draped his jacket over his arm and took a handgun from the car. After inspecting the gun, he held it in his hand, covered it with his executive jacket, and headed home.

He seemed to hear the sound of home.

That was a children's song.

"The kite flies and flies, over the small hill~~"

"The thread is wrapped around my hand, and Grandma smiles at me~"

"The kite floats and floats, soaring into the clouds to see what it's like~"

"The breeze is blowing gently, it's time to go home~"

"Little kite, little kite, no matter how far it flies, it will always return to its nest~"

"The spool spins and spins, the road home is long and winding~"

This is a children's song for the world.

In the actual footage, the editor will cut out Lu Jie's childhood scenes from this part, and use nursery rhymes as background music.

"Crack!"

Meng Yichuan shouted.

Over and over again!

Meng Yichuan wasted no time; he knew that the actors' condition was extremely important.

Lu Ran was now fully immersed in Lu Jie's state, and speed was key!
Then, the filming of the next shot began.

Lu Ran pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard.

An old man was sitting on a bench smoking a pipe. He looked at Lu Ran after hearing the door open.

"Who?"

he asked.

His eyes and ears had long since failed.

"Master, I'm back." Lu Ran smiled gently.

The old man stood up abruptly and walked quickly toward Lu Ran.

His gaze swept over Lu Ran, then he grabbed Lu Ran's arm and walked home, angrily saying, "Who told you to wear this outfit home? Dressed like this, the villagers will know you're an official outside."

"It's alright, sir."

After the old man pulled Lu Ran into the house, Lu Ran said, "Grandpa, I'm hungry. I want to eat a bowl of noodles."

"Then you wait here, I'll go make it for you."

The old man turned and left.

Lu Ran placed his executive jacket on the chair, with the pistol inside.

The film crew had already prepared the noodles and brought them out.

Eating scenes are one of the more difficult scenes for actors to portray.

In many popular dramas, because the celebrities themselves need to maintain their figures, they either fake eating or simply don't know how to act at all.

However, Lu Ran had no such concerns.

He deliberately skipped breakfast before coming, and he's still hungry.

This is a bowl of sour soup noodles, with a poached egg and some chopped green onions.

His eyes welled up with tears as he ate.

In his memory, this is how movies on Earth depict such scenes.

Having become emotionally immersed, he handled Lu Jie's emotions very well.

This was the taste he had eaten since childhood, and it was also the last bowl of noodles he would ever eat.

A group of staff members who were watching from the sidelines were stunned by what they saw.

Is this the acting skill expected of someone his age?

"There are no techniques involved, it's all about emotion."

"Lu Ran is not only a good singer, but also an excellent actor."

Although Lu Ran's acting skills are not on par with those of professional and accomplished actors, they are definitely top-notch among the younger generation.

In the storyline, Chen Mo is on his way with the police at this moment, and they will arrive soon.

After finishing his noodles, Lu Ran put down his chopsticks and smiled, "Master, it's delicious."

The old man smiled kindly and said, "Would you like another bowl?"

"No, one bowl is enough."

Lu Ran chatted with his grandfather about everyday things.

Just then, Meng Yichuan shouted, "Ready!"

Chen Mo is here!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ran looked outside and then closed the door.

He pulled a pistol from his executive jacket and pointed it out the window.

The old man shouted, "What are you doing?"

Outside, as cars came to a stop, the area was completely surrounded by police.

However, the police did not fire.

Chen Mo wanted to capture Lu Ran alive and let the law judge him.

Chen Mo walked over step by step without carrying a gun.

Lu Ran released his grandfather first, and then began his confrontation with Chen Mo.

Zheng Yunxiang said calmly, "Director Lu, this is your home, right? I didn't expect you to come home in the end. I haven't been home for three years."

Lu Ran scoffed, "Are you like me, without parents?"

He raised his pistol and pointed it at Zheng Yunxiang.

"Chen Mo, don't you think that the person I most want to kill in this world is you?" Lu Ran said calmly.

Zheng Yunxiang said slowly, "Your return here today, back home, shows that your humanity has not been completely extinguished, and that you still have a sense of right and wrong. So I am willing to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

After a pause, Zheng Yunxiang continued, "Director Lu, how could you bear to lay a hand on Zhang Jianguo? Didn't you treat him like a father? Do you really feel any guilt when you did these things?"

Lu Ran listened without speaking, his expression complex, a mixture of ruthlessness and emotion.

But there was no regret.

He has no regrets!
Lu Ran roared, "I have no choice! I treat him like my father! I don't want to kill anyone! I have no choice!"

Zheng Yunxiang continued, "That's right, you're not that kind of person, but you don't want to lose everything you have now—your money, your wealth, and how people around you address you. When you do these things, are you afraid inside? You've also lost your father. Have you ever thought that Zhang Jianguo is also someone else's father?"

Lu Ran's eyes widened in fury as he shouted, "What the hell is fear! It's just death anyway! It's just death!"

Zheng Yunxiang continued speaking, trying to persuade Lu Ran to lay down his weapon.

This also fits Chen Mo's character.

Lu Ran said excitedly, "Am I the only one in Xinghai City who lends money at exorbitant interest rates? Why are you always chasing after me like this!"

As Zheng Yunxiang continued speaking, Lu Ran slowly pointed the gun at him.

Not far away, Meng Yichuan and the others were on tenterhooks.

That long monologue wasn't easy to deliver.

The back of Zheng Yunxiang's clothes was soaked through.

In contrast, Lu Ran continued to perform steadily.

The moment Lu Ran pointed the gun at Zheng Yunxiang.

He shouted, "You just wait and see, Chen Mo!"

"No one in this world can judge me, not even God!"

Zheng Yunxiang showed no fear and continued to persuade him.

Lu Ran's expression gradually calmed down, and he put away the gun in his hand.

However, after Zheng Yunxiang finished speaking again...

A fierce look returned to Lu Ran's face.

"Chen Mo, our grudges are now settled!"

"I will repay Zhang Jianguo's life. No one in this world can judge me. To hell with God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ran shoved the pistol into his mouth and fired!
His body then fell backward to the ground.

Zheng Yunxiang's expression froze for a moment, revealing a look of surprise.

Meng Yichuan shouted excitedly, "Crack crack crack, crack crack crack!"

The entire staff on set was stunned by the power of Lu Ran's long monologue.

The emotions conveyed in the dialogue are quite important.

If you don't have the right emotions, food will taste bland.

The moment Lu Ran shouted "Fire!", everyone got goosebumps.

Screenwriter Yang Fang exclaimed excitedly, "Holy crap, this part is brilliant! No, it's Lu Ran's idea that's brilliant!"

The inspiration for this part came from Lu Ran.

At this moment, Meng Yichuan shouted, "We're not finished filming yet! Let's keep going! Everyone, give it your all! Our movie is definitely going to be a hit!"

Thank you to the heavy truck driver with ten years of experience for the donation.
