This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 36 I never want to hear this song again! (Seeking monthly votes!)

Jiang Yaofeng said "but," and Lu Ran knew that this guy was up to no good.

Everyone in the room was waiting for Jiang Yaofeng to say the next sentence.

Jiang Yaofeng was already used to this kind of scene.

He's not shy at all.

Jiang Yaofeng said with some disappointment, "But I'm very disappointed with this song. The lyrics are very straightforward, and the repetition is so high. The melody is also too traditional and lacks any innovation. I can't convince you to give me all ten votes. I'll give you one vote. I hope you will continue to work hard. You are very talented, and my standards for you will be higher than for everyone else."

Lu Ran was shocked.

Holy crap, that acting is amazing!
If it weren't for the fact that you were still praising the contestant in the first round when his voice was completely ruined, I almost would have believed what you said.

Regardless of their acting skills in movies and TV dramas, these people in the entertainment industry deserve a thumbs up for their acting skills in variety shows.

In the waiting room, some contestants showed no surprise at all.

The contestants in Jiang Yaofeng's class had anticipated this situation.

You, Lu Ran, are not worthy of it?
Lin Xingchu clenched his fist slightly.

But she also understood that there was nothing wrong with what Jiang Yaofeng said.

This person may be a bit of a show-off, but he's still a top star, and he knows how to maintain a proper balance.

The words were flawless.

With the support of his fans in the public opinion arena, Lu Ran has no chance of winning.

The female host was about to ask Lu Ran to respond when Xu Zi's voice came through the earpiece.

"Announce the vote count directly and force Lu Ran to step down."

The female host was somewhat surprised; Xu Zi was being far too considerate of Lu Ran.

This allowed Lu Ran to avoid responding.

"Thank you for your comments, Professor Jiang. Now, please take a look at Lu Ran's final vote count."

The vote count appeared on the big screen.

459 votes.

"This is the contestant with the most votes so far. Congratulations to Lu Ran!"

Lu Ran said thank you and left the stage.

Outside, staff members were taking him to record the footage.

In the agent's lounge.

Many agents looked at Li Quan with pity.

Jiang Yaofeng is deliberately suppressing Lu Ran.

In this situation, Lu Ran will be at a disadvantage in the public eye after the show airs.

The influence of top celebrities is still very strong.

However, everyone noticed that Li Quan calmly smoked his cigarette, without a trace of worry on his face.

Are your contestants being suppressed by the mentors?
Why don't you hurry up and think of a solution?
If all else fails, send gifts to Jiang Yaofeng to improve your relationship.

We have to take some action.

If Jiang Yaofeng suppresses the contestants every episode, it will greatly affect their confidence.

After all, not everyone has a strong heart.

You painstakingly prepare a song, and everyone praises it, but then someone comes along and belittles you, and this person is quite authoritative.

Over time, won't your mentality collapse?

Chen Ke looked at Li Quan curiously, and gently kicked Li Quan's calf with her high-heeled foot.

"Brother Quan, how come you're so calm?"

Li Quan didn't even glance at Chen Ke's jade-like feet, and said, "Those who achieve great things must have composure."

He also started learning from Lu Ran.

Chen Ke rolled her eyes: "You really have self-control."

Chen Ke is now somewhat relieved that Wang Jiayue didn't get too close to Lu Ran.

After this episode airs, Lu Ran's fans will definitely start a war of words with Jiang Yaofeng's fans online.

Given the fighting power of Jiang Yaofeng's fans, Lu Ran would only be able to take the beating.

If Wang Jiayue gets close to Lu Ran, she will probably be implicated.

Li Quan chuckled: "Believe it or not, after this episode airs, Lu Ran's song will be the most popular?"

"I don't believe it." Chen Ke said without the slightest hesitation.

Lu Ran's songs are catchy.

But Jiang Yaofeng pressed down.

There are still more than thirty contestants to perform.

The company behind the song will have to buy trending topics and promotional resources for it.

"My Future Is Not a Dream" will soon be drowned out by other songs.

Li Quan sneered: "How about we make a bet? If Lu Ran's song becomes a hit, you have to wear black stockings whenever you see me, the kind that are shiny with oil."

Chen Ke glanced at Li Quan with disdain: "What if it doesn't become popular?"

"I ate your high heels," Li Quan said calmly.

"A word is settled!"

Chen Ke agreed immediately.

She'll definitely shove her high heels into Li Quan's mouth then.

The agents around them were full of questions when they heard the two make a bet.

Li Quan, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come you're still trying to freeload?

……

On the other side, Lu Ran came out of the preparation room.

The questions he was asked were quite simple, and he gave a very positive answer.

As he approached the players' waiting room, an older woman stopped him.

"Lu Ran, I'm Lin Xingchu's assistant. You can just call me Sister Qin."

Sister Qin's attire was rather business-like, and her appearance was the kind that grows on you.

Sister Qin said, "Xingchu asked me to tell you not to leave yet, she still has something to discuss with you after the show is finished."

"I understand." Lu Ran was still a little embarrassed.

Lin Xingchu was afraid that he would do the same thing as last time, running away right after recording the show.

He definitely won't run away this time.

Sister Qin looked at Lu Ran with a hint of pity.

What a wonderful child.

They wrote inspirational songs and said encouraging words.

This kid is just so full of positive energy.

But the entertainment industry needs positive people the least.

Even people with positive energy don't go far.

Sister Qin pulled Lu Ran aside to a secluded spot and whispered, "Lu, don't take what Jiang Yaofeng said to heart. He must have had his reasons for saying those things, and they don't represent his true thoughts. You know how the entertainment industry is."

Sister Qin was comforting Lu Ran.

She was afraid that Lu Ran's self-confidence would be damaged.

Sometimes you get criticized not because you didn't do well enough, but because you did too well.

Lu Ran quickly understood what Sister Qin meant.

In fact, he had no such concerns at all.

"My Future Is Not a Dream" has become a hit all over the world.

You, Jiang Yaofeng, are not worthy of it?

What good will it do if you're right?

The people are willing to listen, so who do you think you are?

Lu Ran laughed and said, "The wind was so loud because you were running too fast. You won't hear it when you stop. Thank you for your concern, Sister Qin. I'll head back now."

After Lu Ran left, Sister Qin looked surprised.

"He was more arrogant than I had imagined."

Sister Qin thought Lu Ran would be upset.

It seems there was none at all.

Even though Jiang Yaofeng is a top star, Lu Ran doesn't take you seriously.

After returning to the waiting room, Lu Ran looked at Zhao Long and asked, "Are there any contestants who have already been eliminated?"

Zhao Long recalled the time Lu Ran sang "Sailor" for an eliminated contestant, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Not yet, we'll announce it after all the votes are tallied."

Lu Ran felt a little regretful.

If another contestant cries because they were eliminated, he can sing "My Future Is Not a Dream" to comfort them.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When Fei Lingyun took the stage, he glanced at Lu Ran as he passed by.

He wanted to give Lu Ran a look and let him figure it out himself.

Then he went on stage.

On stage, Fei Lingyun sang and danced with electronic music, winning praise from Jiang Yaofeng and screams from the audience.

He enjoyed the feeling.

However, in the end, he received 452 votes, which did not surpass Lu Ran's.

Zhao Long exclaimed excitedly, "Lu Ran, he didn't get as many votes as you!"

The students in the three classes were also comparing themselves to each other.

Lu Ran won first place, and Zhao Long and the others naturally hoped that Lu Ran would maintain it.

Lu Ran wasn't surprised: "His live performance definitely won't be as good as what you see on TV."

"Why?" Zhao Long asked, puzzled.

"There were no subtitles on site, but the lyrics are displayed on TV, so the audience can understand what he's singing. By the way, did you hear what Fei Lingyun just sang?"

Zhao Long shook his head.

He didn't hear a word.

Lu Ran sighed, "Fei Lingyun's songs are encrypted; only his fans can understand them."

Zhao Long looked stunned.

You're stealing bamboo shoots!

Because his votes did not surpass Lu Ran's, Fei Lingyun returned to the contestants' waiting room with a somber face.

Chen Yinan comforted him after he returned.

"It's okay, you're number one in our class too."

Fei Lingyun couldn't accept this result and snorted coldly, "I never want to hear the song 'My Future Is Not a Dream' again!"

Chen Yinan pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

The recording lasted for several hours, and finally the recording of the first performance came to an end.

Everyone in the contestants' waiting room stretched.

Sitting here for several hours straight is becoming unbearable.

Fei Lingyun immediately got up to leave.

Just then, a staff member walked in.

"Contestants, please wait a moment. I have an announcement to make. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, everyone will gather at the TV station. The thirty-nine contestants who have advanced will record the theme song for the future King of Singers together."

In an instant, the contestants' eyes lit up.

The theme song will definitely have extra promotional resources. Since they're allowed to record the song, they'll definitely get screen time. It's free exposure!

Fei Lingyun also clenched her fists.

The same song creates a comparison; he has to sing it better than Lu Ran.

At this point, the staff continued, "By the way, the theme song is 'My Future Is Not a Dream.' We will send the sheet music to the group tonight so everyone can practice it first. Since the original key was too high and many contestants couldn't sing it, Teacher Zhou Ruiyang has already lowered the key of the song."

After the staff member finished speaking, all the contestants were stunned.

The entire waiting room was completely silent.

It's Monday, please give me some monthly votes!
