This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 34 I've Become a Member of the Royal Family?
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have connections with their hometowns.

Many celebrities even do charity work in their hometowns, giving away money instead of spending it.

For example, Huang Xiaoming has a good relationship with his hometown.

This is a win-win situation for both the celebrities and the local authorities.

Qin Cheng is actually in a bit of an awkward position. He does have a few good actors, who debuted early and are known for their acting skills.

With the advent of the era of internet traffic, these actors can only play supporting roles for internet celebrities.

As for famous singers, there isn't a single one.

Moreover, some celebrities who are doing well no longer stay in Qincheng Prison.

Qin Cheng has lost his generation of stars.

When a TV station wants to invite a celebrity to an event, the celebrity will definitely prioritize other platforms.

It would be different if there were a connection to one's hometown.

Moreover, just as Xu Zi said.

The entertainment industry these days is rife with all sorts of shady characters; every day, celebrities are facing scandals and scandals.

Lu Ran is completely different. Since he has adopted a positive image, it is very difficult for him to fall from grace.

Choosing this kind of celebrity makes it less likely to cause a scandal and won't have a negative impact on them.

"You want to promote Lu Ran?" Cai Zhenhai asked.

Xu Zi shook her head: "I don't think Lu Ran needs to be promoted. As long as he is given a fair competitive environment, he will definitely become famous."

Cai Zhenhai began to ponder.

Xu Zi's words really convinced him.

If Lu Ran really becomes a top star in the future, would he be willing to promote Qincheng?
Will Lu Ran come to the Qincheng TV program?
With the added connection of being from the same hometown, he's definitely different from other contestants.

However, this creates a conflict of interest with Orange Video and other entertainment companies.

Everyone wants to flatter someone.

After thinking for a while, Cai Zhenhai said, "We'll decide in a meeting tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Xu Zi didn't expect Cai Zhenhai to make up his mind right now.

……

On the other side, Lin Xingchu was drinking milk tea with a group of her students in a lounge.

People felt obligated to help him, and their attitude towards Lu Ran changed.

This person isn't that weird.

Lu Ran didn't care about any of that; he even earned points by treating everyone to milk tea.

After everyone finished their milk tea, they went home.

After Lin Xingchu got into the van, Sister Qin asked, "Xingchu, what would you like to eat this afternoon?"

Lin Xingchu had just finished a cup of milk tea, and her stomach was bloated, so she had no appetite at all.

"I'm not hungry."

Sister Qin's expression immediately changed, and she stared at Lin Xingchu suspiciously.

"Did you secretly eat something, or drink something?"

Lin Xingchu felt a little guilty.

"No, I just had a cup of milk tea."

Sister Qin was speechless: "Grandma, have you forgotten that you ate and drank excessively during that time, and as a result, your haters mocked you for gaining weight?"

Lin Xingchu rubbed her knees with both hands, lowered her head, and dared not meet Qin Jie's eyes.

She repeated what Lu Ran had said.

"Within a normal range, delicious food will not turn into fat on your body, but will be transformed into warm blood, forming your rosy cheeks, beautiful hair and bright eyes, which will become the power that supports you to pursue your dreams."

"They're talking about the normal range!" Sister Qin said simply.

"Fine, let's leave it at that. Where did you learn to say that from?"

Lin Xingchu must have just found out about this.

Lin Xingchu felt there was no need to implicate Lu Ran, so she said, "I saw it online."

Sister Qin shook her head helplessly.

The TV station parking lot.

Lu Ran saw Li Quan chatting with Chen Ke next to the car from a distance.

Wang Jiayue was standing next to Chen Ke.

When Lu Ran arrived, Chen Ke took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Brother Quan, you're not free tonight, how about we have dinner together? It's on me," Chen Ke said with a smile.

Her eyes kept darting around Lu Ran.

Li Quan refused outright: "Sorry, I have some things to take care of at the company. Let's do it another day."

After saying that, he pulled Lu Ran into the car.

After the car door closed, Lu Ran asked curiously, "Brother Quan, this manager has a great figure and is pretty too. Why didn't you go to dinner when she invited you?"

Li Quan said irritably, "She invited you to dinner. She's the one eating, you're the one eating!"

“Is there such a good thing?
Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

Li Quan patted Lu Ran's thigh: "Stay away from this kind of woman. If you sleep with her, she'll probably record the whole thing."

"So exciting?"

"What's so exciting about that? If she has the video, she'll have something on you. How will you ever be able to face the world again?"

Li Quan felt it was necessary to make Lu Ran understand the dangers of the martial arts world.

"This is so negative!" Lu Ran said angrily.

"Let's go to my house first. I've got you more than a dozen outfits. Try them on when we get back."

Lu Ran's expression hardened upon hearing this.

"Brother Quan, I don't think it's very safe for me to go to your house, just the two of us."

"Nima!"

The two started playfully fighting inside the car.

The next morning, Lu Ran got up and ran five laps around the track, then ate breakfast and took a shower.

After taking a shower, he saw several missed calls on his phone, as well as a message from Zhou Ruiyang.

"Call back immediately upon seeing this."

Lu Ran made the call.

After the call connected, Zhou Ruiyang said directly, "I have good news for you. My future is not a dream has been chosen as the theme song for the Future Singer program. I called to ask if you agree."

Then Zhou Ruiyang quoted a price.

Although the copyright of the live versions of the songs Lu Ran sang on stage belongs to the program team, it is limited to the live versions on the "Future King of Singers" stage.

Other authorized program production teams also need to buy from Lu Ran.

The price is quite high.

This song is exclusively authorized for use by the "Future King of Singers" program team, including its use in the program and promotion.

If Lu Ran performs by himself, it will not be affected.

The price is 500,000 for a buyout, and the production team can use it for a long time.

"I need to discuss this with my agent."

Lu Ran did not agree directly.

He asked the system, and the system said that 500,000 was far beyond the normal industry price.

This is in relation to Lu Ran's status.

If Lu Ran were a top-tier singer now, his price would definitely exceed one million.

Five hundred thousand, more than he earned from acting and selling "The Song of the Earth" combined.

Moreover, granting the rights to the program team will not affect his ability to release singles.

He called Li Quan and told him about it.

Li Quan slapped his thigh: "Holy crap! Don't sell!" "You won't sell for 500,000?" Lu Ran was somewhat surprised.

"Right now, the most important thing for you isn't money! You can earn as much money as you want once you become famous! Just wait, I'm coming to your school right away."

After waiting for a while, Li Quan arrived at the school gate.

Once in the car, Li Quan began his analysis.

"Let's put aside how Xu Zi convinced the higher-ups to choose your song as the theme song for now, and just talk about the price."

Normally, this song of yours isn't worth this price, but Xu Zi still offered you this price, so she definitely isn't interested in you as a person.

"Are you that sure?" Lu Ran asked back.

Looking at Lu Ran's handsome face, Li Quan changed his mind and said, "It's still possible."

"The core of the entertainment industry is resources. Resources are far more important than money. Let's see how I perform when we get to the TV station."

After the van arrived at the TV station, Lu Ran and Li Quan went to find Xu Zi.

This time, Xu Zi did not refuse and received the two in her office.

She sat on the sofa with her legs together, her posture elegant, staring at Lu Ran and Li Quan.

"Mr. Li, please speak freely," Xu Zi said with a light smile.

After a moment's thought, Li Quan immediately said, "The song can be sold, and the price can be lower. I need the production team to guarantee Lu Ran's subsequent screen time."

Xu Zi smiled and said, "Okay."

……

After the two came out of the office, Li Quan wiped his nose and said, "Lu Ran, you should stay away from Director Xu in the future. That woman is no pushover either."

Of course, the old A8 consumes a lot of fuel.

Lu Ran mentally complained.

But it must be said that today's negotiations were very successful.

The buyout price was 300,000, plus the production team's promise to guarantee Lu Ran's screen time in the later stages.

This will not be affected by other investors; the contract is already signed in black and white.

"Brother Quan, does this mean I'm really royalty now?"

“Remember my words, as long as you have the ability, you are not royalty. That means if Qincheng TV station has any problems in the future, you will probably have to lend a hand. However, we are a company in Qincheng, so it is only right and proper for us to help.” Li Quan said.

As for helping, we'll talk about that after Lu Ran becomes famous.

We haven't reached that point yet.

Li Quan understood something even better: Xu Zi was able to persuade the higher-ups to choose Lu Ran's song as the theme song because she really wanted Lu Ran as a person, not his body.

As for how far he can go and how steadily he can go, we'll have to see how Lu Ran performs in the future.

Opportunity favors the prepared mind; when it comes, it's up to you whether you can seize it.

At noon, Lu Ran ate a little something, not daring to eat too much, so as not to affect his performance.

After rehearsing on stage, he went to the contestants' waiting room.

There were already quite a few contestants sitting in the waiting room.

The other mentors' contestants' expressions changed when they saw Lu Ran enter, some showing curiosity and others disgust.

The students on Lin Xingchu's side were different; everyone was very enthusiastic.

Jiang Yaofeng's team consists entirely of contestants who are backed by entertainment companies.

These contestants may appear to be in the same class, but they are actually engaged in fierce competition.

Among Lin Xingchu's students, half are amateurs and half are from companies, and those from companies aren't from particularly prestigious ones.

"Lu Ran, sit here," Zhao Long waved and called out.

Lu Ran sat down next to Zhao Long.

Then he took out his phone, opened a video app, and selected to play the "News 30 Minutes" program.

Zhao Long was stunned.

Why are you still watching the news?

"I care about everything, from family affairs to national affairs to world affairs."

Lu Ran took out a wireless Bluetooth earphone and handed one to Zhao Long: "Do you want to take a look?"

Zhao Long shook his head: "I'm not watching, it's too boring."

One minute later.

Zhao Long, wearing Bluetooth headphones, watched the news for 30 minutes with Lu Ran.

"I haven't seen these news articles online," Zhao Long said, somewhat surprised.

“Online media chase trends; why report on things that aren’t trending?” Lu Ran said.

Zhao Long thought Lu Ran's words made a lot of sense.

The people around were speechless. You two are about to go on stage and you're still watching the news.

Around 2 PM, staff came in and told the contestants to make their final preparations.

Lu Ran took off his earphones and handed both his phone and earphones to Li Quan.

I earned 10 points by reading the news and paying attention to family and national affairs.

When it was exactly 2 o'clock, the recording of the program officially began.

Unlike the last performance, this time there were 500 audience members present.

As for the actual quality of those 500 audience members, that remains to be seen.

After seeing the situation on the screen, many of the contestants exclaimed in surprise.

The presence of an audience and the absence of an audience make a world of difference.

Last time it was a mentor selection process; this time it's a combination of mentor and audience voting.

The first contestant went on stage directly; this contestant was from Jiang Yaofeng's class.

Last time, Lu Ran was the first to appear, casting a huge shadow over the other contestants.

This contestant also tried to replicate Lu Ran's performance, but ended up failing miserably.

Zhao Long muttered, "It's unlistenable without audio editing."

Since it's a pre-recorded broadcast, the audio will definitely be edited in post-production.

The audio engineer scored high.

Lu Ran didn't respond, waiting for Jiang Yaofeng's comments.

Lin Xingchu and Zhou Hao both pointed out the contestant's problems. When it was Jiang Yaofeng's turn, he smiled and said, "Your stage presence is more mature than I saw last time. This kind of confidence in front of the audience is the most valuable quality of live performance. All ten of my tickets are for you!"

Lu Ran was stunned.

That's why they say someone's a top star; they can even praise that.

In the waiting room, quite a few contestants showed expressions of surprise.

Even some simple-minded people were stunned by Jiang Yaofeng's outrageous actions.

The entertainment industry, a veritable melting pot, subtly influences everyone.

As contestants took the stage one by one, it was soon Lu Ran's turn.

When Lu Ran's name appeared on the big screen, cheers erupted throughout the venue.

Because of Shan Xiao's self-destruction, Lu Ran's popularity is still maintained.

The song "Sailor" is also at the top of the new song chart.

The audience members who were able to come to the venue were quite looking forward to Lu Ran's performance.

Lu Ran stood up, and Wang Jiayue and Zhao Long both cheered him on.

He nodded in acknowledgment and then went to the stage.

He stepped to the center of the stage and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Ran."

After he finished speaking, cheers erupted from the entire audience.

A few shouts were also mixed in.

"Lu Ran, burn it!"

"Lu Ran, burn it!"
