This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 367 Music Awards Created by All
After Lu Ran finished speaking, Yin Shuzhi fell silent.

He sighed.

He now realizes what kind of opponent he is facing.

This person doesn't play by the rules!

"Now that you have taken the initiative to admit your mistake, you should be able to be treated leniently."

After saying that, Lu Ran hung up the phone.

There's nothing to say to Yin Shuzhi.

There are countless people like Yin Shuzhi in the entertainment industry.

How can we build a good entertainment industry or ensure that artistic works serve the people when dealing with this group of people?

This is just Yin Shuzhi.

Yin Shuzhi put down his phone, his eyes were cold, and his lips were trembling.

"You're crazy, your place will definitely collapse!"

Yin Shuzhi refused to believe it. Lu Ran was standing so high, wasn't he afraid of falling to his death?

Just then, his phone received another call.

Yin Shuzhi answered the phone only after he saw that the caller was Shunqi Ziran.

"Chairman Yin, something's fishy about our judging panel!"

"I know."

If the judging panel wasn't corrupt, how could Lu Ran have obtained so much information that only insiders knew?

After chatting with Shunqi for a while, Yin Shuzhi continued to think of countermeasures.

He can't just sit here and wait to die.

If they can be saved, they must be saved.

For three consecutive days, the popularity of the Chinese Music Awards showed no signs of waning.

On the third day, some special media outlets began to speak out.

"The problems of 'small-circle monopoly of judging,' 'capital interference in the selection process,' and 'deviation from the original intention of art' in the Chinese Music Awards should indeed serve as a wake-up call for the industry. Artistic awards should be benchmarks for promoting artistic innovation; if they are distorted into tools for profit-sharing, they not only harm the rights of musicians but also accelerate a vicious cycle in the industry. Artistic creation needs a clean environment, and we look forward to relevant departments intervening to investigate and restore a pure land to the Chinese music scene!"

"#How can arts and literature awards uphold their bottom line! When the nomination list for the Chinese Music Awards is seriously out of sync with public opinion, and when buying awards becomes an unspoken rule, we have to ask: for whom are music awards really created? Lu Ran's investigative report reveals the phenomenon of capital hijacking the judging process, which is a microcosm of formalism and clique culture in the arts and literature field! Only by returning the power of judging to the people can truly good works be seen!"

"The Huaqu Awards controversy once again proves that awards that lose their popular support will eventually lose their vitality. Lu Ran's report on the small circle of judges and data fabrication is essentially a dangerous tendency for art to become detached from the people!"

After these media outlets spoke out, the entertainment industry seemed shrouded in gloom, with no sunshine in sight.

The musicians have mostly remained silent.

At this moment, nobody wants to get themselves into trouble.

In a hotel, Jiang Yaofeng silently twirled the skewers in his hands, praying incessantly.

"The Chinese Music Awards are cancelled! The Chinese Music Awards are cancelled! The Chinese Music Awards are cancelled!"

Nobody wanted his Best Male Singer award; none of the other three nominees wanted it either.

At this critical juncture, no one dares to gamble.

If I win this award and am boycotted by the audience, then it will be a loss.

Jiang Yaofeng had no scientific methods, so he resorted to metaphysics.

At that moment, a new notification popped up on his phone.

This notification came from Weibo.

"The Chinese Music Awards responds!"

Upon seeing these five words, Jiang Yaofeng immediately clicked on them.

"It's here! My dream has come true! My future is not just a dream!"

Jiang Yaofeng closed his eyes, even singing a few lines of Lu Ran's song, before opening them to look at his phone.

The first post in the topic was a Weibo post from the Huaqu Awards.

It was posted just a few minutes ago, it's still fresh in my mind.

But there are already thousands of comments.

"Announcement from the Huaqu Awards Organizing Committee"

After careful evaluation, it has been decided that the 28th Huaqu Awards will suspend its awards ceremony and undergo systematic rectification due to the need for comprehensive optimization of its judging mechanism and the urgent need to improve its process standards. The organizing committee deeply recognizes that the current selection mechanism deviates from the original intention of awarding prizes based on professionalism and art, and therefore makes the following decision.

The following are several ideas for rectification.

Jiang Yaofeng continued reading.

"We sincerely apologize to our colleagues in the music industry and will take this rectification as an opportunity to rebuild a fair and authoritative music evaluation system."

After reading the entire announcement, Jiang Yaofeng jumped up excitedly.

"Great! It's finally over! I know my future isn't just a dream, I'm making the most of every minute!"

Jiang Yaofeng started yelling and screaming in the hotel.

Never before had he been so excited about not winning an award.

He didn't even feel any hatred towards Lu Ran; he only felt extremely fortunate.

I don't know why, but I just can't bring myself to hate him.

When the singers who had already been nominated for the Chinese Music Awards saw this announcement, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This past month has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but it's finally over."

"Where's my money? Can I get it back?"

"It seems like my money is gone, and I can't contact anyone."

Some of the nominated singers have secretly cursed Lu Ran's entire family register.

It's a real shame that such a perfectly good award was ruined like this.

Where can I find awards that offer good value for money in the future? How can I enhance my resume?

"Lu Ran is such a troublemaker, we won't include him in any future awards."

"Stop him at the registration stage!" "What is he trying to do? He's harming others without benefiting himself!"
Unlike some industry professionals, netizens online applauded the announcement.

"It's finally been discontinued. I hope it's discontinued forever, not just this year."

"The announcement is too mild; it's simply illegal!"

"Has it already been investigated?"

"Reporters contacted Huaqu International Culture Company, but no one answered the phone."

People, eager for amusement, flocked to Lu Ran's Weibo to celebrate.

"Director Lu, you can declare victory now. The Huaqu Award is gone."

"Such great news! Director Lu, sing me a song right now! I want to hear a new song!"

"Hahaha, this is awesome! If it's not fair and just, then there's no point in holding this award!"

Then, Lu Ran posted a Weibo post.

"I'd like to ask everyone, what do you think if I were to hold a music award? Feel free to leave your comments in the comment section, I'll read them all."

The netizens were stunned.

"You're going to hold an awards ceremony? Isn't that unnecessary? Is this something a singer should be doing?"

"If you create an award, you can't participate in the selection process, so what's the point?"

"That's not necessary."

Lu Ran also replied to many netizens in the comments section.

"I think the Chinese music scene needs such an award, so I thought of creating one."

“I will be the organizer, not a candidate. My current plan is to make the entire judging process public, with all judges carefully selecting candidates and incorporating public opinion. But I need everyone’s help to figure out how to do it, as this is indeed a bit difficult.”

Seeing Lu Ran's earnest replies to netizens in the comments section, the netizens were indeed somewhat moved.

Judging from Lu Ran's posture, he didn't seem to be joking; he seemed to be serious.

"I have a suggestion: we could ask netizens to recommend some members for the judging panel."

"The evaluation of a song is multi-dimensional. Whether a song is good or not is a very subjective matter, which everyone can understand. Just don't be too outrageous."

"The awards could be more diverse."

Netizens offered suggestions in the comments section, and Lu Ran's haters also sprang into action.

These past few days, the haters have been suppressed and unable to speak.

The investigation report is too hardcore; if you criticize it, it becomes unreasonable, and if you make a fuss, you'll be watched by netizens like a monkey, which is very embarrassing.

Now that Lu Ran is going to hold a music awards ceremony, the haters have finally found an opportunity.

"Now I understand, the reason they destroyed the Huaqu Awards was to create their own awards."

"Lu Ran isn't after the award; he wants to be the one presenting it. You're the biggest evil dragon."

"Tell me, how much would you pay to buy the Best Male Singer award?"

"The Huaqu Awards have been running for 28 years, but they still can't beat this young Lu Ran."

"How shameless!"

Lu Ran ignored all the rumors and gossip from these haters.

This was all within his expectations.

He wants to establish a music award, but if he just starts an award out of thin air, no one will pay attention to him.

This time, he directly leveraged the popularity of the Chinese Music Awards to spread the news of his upcoming awards event across the entire internet.

This saved a significant amount of money on advertising.

They've also benefited from the Chinese Music Awards.

The number of comments on Lu Ran's Weibo post quickly exceeded 10,000 and continues to grow.

The netizens' thoughts are very interesting.

"I suggest establishing a Best Sleep Aid Award; let's choose the song that's most effective at helping you fall asleep."

"Let's create a ranking of the worst songs of the year!"

"Making bad songs is going too far. I think we should create an annual ranking of meme songs, so that everyone can participate and have fun."

Lu Ran was amazed by the ingenious ideas of the netizens.

Anyway, his music award is just a prototype, and he hasn't figured out the specifics yet, so he can just copy the comments section.

After his announcement of holding an awards ceremony became a trending topic, Lu Ran posted another Weibo post.

"I have seen everyone's thoughts and suggestions, and I will carefully consider them with my team members. We are currently preparing for the graduation gala performance at Qincheng University, so the awards will have to wait. Once everything is finalized, I will release the registration portal. Now we are officially soliciting names for the music awards. Please leave your comments on my pinned Weibo post later. This award is open to everyone, let's create it together!"

Lu Ran quietly promoted Qincheng University's graduation party again, and also released information about what was to come.

He only had one idea in his mind: to create an award. He hadn't really thought about what to name it or how to do it.

We're counting on the netizens!
Netizens were speechless after seeing this.

"High EQ: Everyone can create together. Low EQ: I'm out of ideas, please help me."

"Director Lu really knows how to talk; he can make even a freebie idea sound so fresh and sophisticated."

"Dude, you haven't even thought of a name yet and you're holding an award? If it weren't for the fact that your name is Lu Ran, I would fucking beat you to death."

Despite saying such silly things, netizens still clicked on Lu Ran's homepage.

Lu Ran's pinned Weibo post on his homepage has been updated.

This Weibo post is a call for name suggestions for a music award.

But after seeing the content of this Weibo post, netizens were stunned.

"They don't even have a name yet, but they already have a promotional song!"

A video was prominently displayed on Weibo.

"The music awards created by the whole nation, and the promotional song 'Singing and Smiling' has been officially released! Performed by the Sunshine Youth Choir, may our songs bring you smiles!"
