This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 3 You're such a negative influence!

At this moment, Lu Ran was waiting for Li Quan at the entrance of the TV station building, while Li Quan went to park the car.

He had just thought about it and decided to praise the security guard in a smooth way.

I don't know why, but after telling the security guard that he had worked hard, I always felt a little strange.

"It should be a shame about doing good deeds."

However, Lu Ran felt quite comfortable after completing this positive action.

It felt like even corpses were coming back to life, and people became more cheerful.

Sure enough, he was born to be a good person.

Lu Ran checked the rewards he had just received.

[Vocal Training Room: After placing the song you wish to sing in the vocal training room, you can spend 10 points to enter the room for two hours of training on the vocal skills corresponding to the song. Professional guidance is available inside the training room, and one hour in the training room is equivalent to one minute outside.]

[Getting something for nothing is not a positive thing. Although you have obtained the song, you still need to work hard to master the perfect way to sing it.]

[Complete a positive action to earn 10 points.]

Lu Ran thought the system was right.

He was already thinking about how to practice the song "Sailor" well, since there were only a few hours left before the recording of the show.

With this vocal training room, everything is different.

It costs ten points to play here for two hours.

Points can also be used for a lucky draw.

Lu Ran felt it was best not to use it if possible. If he could master "Sailor" on his own, he wouldn't need to spend points.

At this moment, Li Quan also arrived.

The two entered the TV station building, and Lu Ran asked, "Brother Quan, does our company have channels for releasing songs?"

Li Quan was somewhat surprised: "You're overthinking it. Our company doesn't even have a composition department, so how can we have channels to release songs? You're our company's first singer."

What Li Quan didn't finish saying might also be the last thing he said.

In today's entertainment industry, the path of a singer is not easy.

After all, most of the singing performances on major TV stations' New Year's Eve galas are by popular actors.

Singers need to have extremely high popularity to get on these shows; smaller singers have no chance.

For a small company to cultivate a singer with high popularity is incredibly difficult.

The reason for signing Lu Ran was that the company boss had a sudden whim and wanted to cultivate a singer.

At this point, Li Quan realized the problem.

"You're releasing a song? Did you write it?"

Lu Ran nodded. Although this behavior wasn't exactly positive, he had no choice but to accept it.

Li Quan didn't say anything more.

Which singer hasn't written songs? That's perfectly normal.

Since the company doesn't have any channels for releasing songs, let Lu Ran do as he pleases.

Li Quan thought for a moment and said, "If you want to sing your own song in the competition, that's fine, the company won't interfere, but your lyrics must be positive and nothing bad should appear."

Lu Ran recalled the lyrics of "Sailor".

This is so positive!

"Don't worry, Brother Quan."

Afterwards, Li Quan contacted the TV station staff, and soon the staff brought the two of them to the rehearsal room.

There were several staff members in the rehearsal room.

There was also a man in his forties, with a fair complexion and wearing a white shirt, who was clearly the leader here.

Li Quan took the initiative to step forward and greet him: "Hello, Director Zhou."

This person is Zhou Ruiyang, the music director of the "Future King of Singers" program.

Most talent shows have a music director position.

After all, besides the contestants competing, the production team also needs to present a decent stage for the audience.

The music director can assist the contestants with song and stage design.

Li Quan and Zhou Ruiyang had met once before, and they were quite friendly with each other from the start.

Zhou Ruiyang smiled and shook hands with Li Quan.

Lu Ran also politely greeted, "Hello, Director Zhou."

Zhou Ruiyang quickly scanned Lu Ran's body and face.

Lu Ran's clothes weren't designer brands, but his face was undeniably handsome.

This is the most handsome contestant he has ever seen.

"Your face is a gift from God," Zhou Ruiyang said with a smile.

If Lu Ran wanted to hook up with a rich woman, he could start working there right away.

It's a pity they had to participate in the talent show.

This has little to do with whether you're handsome or not.

The other staff members also turned their attention to Lu Ran's face.

A girl wearing black-rimmed glasses already has little stars in her eyes.

These days, the entertainment industry is full of celebrities who constantly market themselves as incredibly handsome, but only a handful are truly good-looking; most of them are unremarkable in real life.

In a TV series, he plays a domineering CEO, but because he's not tall enough, he has to wear platform shoes.

In real life, which domineering CEO wears platform leather shoes?
Lu Ran is different. He is 1.83 meters tall with a well-proportioned body, and he gives people a different feeling when he stands here.

However, everyone felt a little sorry for him. Lu Ran didn't have any connections.

Being handsome alone won't get you far; the entertainment industry is full of good-looking men and women.

Zhou Ruiyang said, "Let's not waste any more time and get started quickly. Are you going to sing and play the guitar yourself or bring accompaniment?"

"I brought accompaniment."

Lu Ran handed the prepared USB drive to Zhou Ruiyang.

He has already extracted the instrumental track of "Sailor" onto a USB drive.

Li Quan instructed, "Listen to Director Zhou carefully. I have some things to take care of."

Lu Ran nodded.

Li Quan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "The director of Future King of Singers is a woman. I'll see if I can get in touch with her. If she needs you to offer yourself up, then cooperate."

Lu Ran was speechless.

You're such a negative influence!

You should show me the director's photo first.

After Li Quan left, the little girl with black-rimmed glasses handed the microphone to Lu Ran.

She smiled and asked, "What's the name of the song you sang?"

“Sailor,” Lu Ran said.

The young woman was Zhou Ruiyang's assistant. She tried to recall a song called "Sailor," but she couldn't remember any hit song called "Sailor."

"Is it an original work?" the little girl asked again.

"Yes."

In an instant, Zhou Ruiyang became interested.

"Finally, an original song! Come and listen, Xiao Lu. Don't be nervous. I'm not your teacher. Just sing well."

Zhou Ruiyang is very approachable.

He worked as the music director on a talent show and encountered all sorts of contestants.

You know, some contestants sing terribly, but you can't even offer any feedback.

This is very uncomfortable.

In fact, Lu Ran's greeting of "Hello, Director Zhou" after entering the room greatly increased his goodwill towards him.

This circle is full of people who look down on others just because they have connections.

However, Zhou Ruiyang didn't have high hopes for Lu Ran's song.

Creating an excellent original song is not an easy task; many top singers in the music industry don't write their own songs.

It's not that I don't want to write, it's just that I really don't write well.

Zhou Ruiyang only asked that Lu Ran's song be a song that was at least listenable.

Lu Ran composed himself and walked to the center of the rehearsal room. He politely said, "Please give me your guidance."

The staff at the control panel gave an OK sign and pressed the play button.

As soon as the intro started, Zhou Ruiyang, who was about to lean back in his chair, was startled.

Damn it?

Isn't this prelude too mature?

Is this a piece of music that a newcomer could compose?
After the intro ended, Lu Ran began singing the lyrics.

"The feeling of bitter sand stinging my face, like my father's scolding and my mother's weeping, is unforgettable."

"When I was young, I loved to be alone at the beach, roll up my trousers, and walk barefoot on the sand."

When the song reached its climax, Lu Ran had to restrain himself from continuing with "Starry Night" as the next line.

These two songs can be seamlessly connected without any sense of incongruity.

A few minutes later, Lu Ran finished singing a song.

Because it was his first time singing, he felt that his singing was not perfect, and there were some flaws in his breath control and vocalization.

Fortunately, he managed to sing the whole song.

At that moment, a notification sound rang in his ears.

"Complete a positive action to earn 20 points."

Lu Ran was a little confused; how did this become positive energy?

He looked at the staff on site and was immediately taken aback.

Several staff members had red eyes, and the girl with the black-rimmed glasses was wiping away tears.

It's hard not to be moved when you first hear the song "Sailor".

This is also positive energy.

Zhou Ruiyang tapped on the table and asked, "You were a sailor?"

"I've never done it," Lu Ran said.

"So how did you come up with the idea of ​​using sailors as inspiration?" Zhou Ruiyang asked curiously.

"I thought of it while I was taking a bath."

Lu Ran was very frank; Zheng Zhihua wrote it exactly like that back then.

The group burst into laughter.

That makes perfect sense; there's no way to refute it.
