This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 42 Director Lu is here!
The system did not respond.

Lu Ran decided not to argue with the system.

He is a positive person.

On the lottery interface, a lottery animation appeared, and soon after, a card appeared, with a problem showing up on it.

"I Am a Little Bird, by Zhao Chuan".

"It's an inspirational song! This is so positive!"

Since embracing positive energy, Lu Ran felt he had become much more assertive, and his posture had straightened considerably.

Singing so many inspirational songs has turned me into a chicken soup guru.

It's chicken soup for the soul.

"I'm even a little scared of myself."

Three consecutive inspirational songs—this is something you probably don't see on any talent show.

Lu Ran chose to have the system play this song.

Sometimes I feel like a little bird, wanting to fly but never being able to fly very high.

"Perhaps one day I'll climb to the top of a tree only to become the hunter's target; I'll fly high into the sky only to find myself utterly alone and helpless."

Zhao Chuan's singing voice drifted over.

This song has a very high vocal range and requires high notes to sing.

But unlike "My Future Is Not a Dream", this song also has a certain charm when sung in a lower key.

However, on the competitive stage, Lu Ran prefers to sing high notes.

Lyrical songs are at a disadvantage when sung on a competitive stage.

This is partly why his song "My Future Is Not a Dream" received the highest number of votes.

Some audience members don't understand the difference between true voice, falsetto, head voice, chest voice, and mixed voice, but they can hear whether you sing high or low.

Lu Ran thought this classic song, "I Am a Little Bird," was pretty good.

Some songs may be old, but they are not outdated.

The emotions a song conveys to its listeners will never go out of style.

"Go for it! Keep bringing positive energy to everyone!"

……

Four p.m.

In a recording studio in Hangzhou.

Bai Yiyi finished singing the last line of "Come Home Often".

Zhou Ruiyang recorded the audio himself outside.

"Very good. Very good."

The song "Come Home Often" does not require high technical singing skills.

After grasping the emotions of the song, Bai Yiyi successfully recorded the entire song.

Bai Yiyi walked out, her eyes a little red.

"The singing makes me want to go home and visit my family," she muttered.

"Nothing much has been going on lately, so I can go back whenever I want," Zhou Ruiyang said with a smile.

Bai Yiyi asked curiously, "Who exactly is Teacher Shunqiziran? I've never heard of him before."

"You'll find out later," Zhou Ruiyang said with a smile.

For some reason, he felt a little pleased to see Bai Yiyi's curious expression.

"Tch, you're keeping me in suspense."

Bai Yiyi sat in the chair and took a sip of water.

She searched for "Let it be" online but found no information about this person.

Logically speaking, a songwriter of this caliber should not remain unknown.

"The person who can write this kind of song must be in their forties or fifties, right? A middle-aged man, yes, a middle-aged man."

Based on the current situation, Bai Yiyi speculated on the natural age.

There are plenty of songwriters in this age group.

Zhou Ruiyang was checking the contents of the recording.

After the song was finished, he sent the file to Meng Yichuan.

"It's done!"

Meanwhile, Director Meng was waiting for this song.

As soon as he received the song, he put on his headphones and started listening.

He was deeply moved by what he heard.

"I haven't been home for a long time. I'll go home and visit once I'm done with this busy period."

Meng Yichuan sent the song to the post-production editor.

"Song in hand, let's get editing!"

The post-production editors had already prepared various materials based on the lyrics.

After the final cut was completed, Meng Yichuan reviewed it.

"Great! This song elevates the movie to a whole new level! What's the deal with this 'natural' thing? It's amazing!"

Meng Yichuan directly settled the final payment for Zhou Ruiyang.

He posted the song in the WeChat group of the creative team behind "Hear the Voice of Home".

"Everyone should listen to this song. This is the full version of our movie theme song. The lyricist and composer is Mr. Shunqi Ziran."

"You've never heard of 'Let Nature Take Its Course,' right? But you've heard of 'Su Qingtang,' right? That's a song written for Su Qingtang!"

Meng Yichuan sent another copy of the video to Shen Qingyi.

"Mr. Shen, it's all settled. We can start the promotion tomorrow!"

There's no need to start promoting online movies a month in advance like you would for theatrical releases.

A few minutes later, Shen Qingyi replied with a message.

"it is good."

Meng Yichuan rubbed his hands together; he was already getting impatient.

The first step in promotion is to release this song!
As for the final release date of the movie, it will naturally coincide with the broadcast time of "The Future Singer".

The success of this movie depends entirely on Lu Ran!

Lu Ran is in his dorm right now.

My roommate Cheng Dong wasn't playing games; he was watching "The Future Singer."

Today's episode was the second episode of "Future Singer," which included the parts from the auditions that weren't finished and the revival round. Cheng Dong watched for a while with his headphones on, then took them off and asked Lu Ran a question.

"What's the purpose of this contestant performing the shamanic dance on stage? Did he advance?"

"What kind of crap is this? Are you here to perform a skit? Holy crap, this guy actually made it through?"

"What a bunch of useless trash! I could do better than them!"

Cheng Dong tried hard to find a few singers who sang better than Lu Ran, but unfortunately, it was difficult to find any.

The comments section was filled with viewers' complaints.

"I'm really impressed, it doesn't look good at all without Lu Ran."

"Any kind of monsters and freaks can be on talent shows now?"

"Where's Lu Ran? I want Lu Ran!"

"Lu Ran, please save me! I want to feel your positive energy!"

Cheng Dong doesn't usually watch music variety shows; he only started watching because Lu Ran was participating.

It turned out that this episode wasn't very good, at least not as good as the previous one.

Cheng Dong looked at Lu Ran: "Brother, to be honest, I really hope you're doing well, but you're doing a little too well right now."

Lu Ran said righteously and sternly, "The web movie I'm starring in will start its promotion tomorrow. Although I'm not the male lead, I can barely be considered the second male lead."

Cheng Dong sighed: "Could you talk to me for a while?"

"Do you have any games on your phone?" Lu Ran asked.

"Yeah, I have all kinds of games. What's up? Want Dad to help you rank up? I can't guarantee anything else, but when it comes to gaming, I can definitely beat you in a heartbeat!"

Cheng Dong regained his confidence through Lu Ran.

Lu Ran: "Then go play your game. I need to study. I don't have time to chat with you."

Cheng Dong's expression froze instantly.

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to write a web novel called 'My Roommate is a Big Star,' and this big star becomes a plaything for a group of rich women," Cheng Dong said angrily.

"Everyone else has sisters or wives who are big stars, and you wrote about your roommate. What are you trying to do? I'm starting to doubt your sexual orientation."

Lu Ran became wary.

Cheng Dong sighed, losing all interest in playing games.

At that moment, he heard singing.

He said, "What's a little pain in the face of wind and rain? Wipe away your tears and don't be afraid; at least we still have dreams."

This is sung by Lu Ran.

Cheng Dong felt even more upset.

Lu Ran opened the WeChat group and watched the video of "Come Home Often".

Zhou Ruiyang had already sent Bai Yiyi the song she had recorded.

He listened for a while and thought it was very good.

There is an internal taste.

Meng Yichuan posted a video featuring scenes from the movie.

Listening to the song alongside these heartwarming images is even more effective in evoking the audience's emotions.

"We'll start promoting tomorrow, so everyone should use their own accounts to promote it," Meng Yichuan added in the group chat.

In reality, no one in this group is as popular as Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's current exposure is very high.

Lei Lei posted a screenshot of a trending topic on Weibo.

"Lu Ran is trending on Weibo again."

The screenshot shows that the number ten trending topic on Weibo is "Where is Lu Ran?"

After the second episode aired, viewers began to reminisce about Lu Ran from the previous episode.

However, the performance of the first public performance will not be broadcast until the third episode, so everyone can't see it yet.

Meng Yichuan: "Perfect! We can use this trending topic to our advantage. What do you think, Lu Ran?"

"I have no problem."

They'll try to ride on someone else's popularity if they can.

Lu Ran immediately opened Weibo.

After this period of time, he has gained 110,000 followers on Weibo.

Thanks to the exposure brought by the song "Sailor," his fan base is still growing.

He edited a Weibo post and sent it out, also including his trending topic.

"Thank you to all my fans for your support. The online movie I starred in, 'Hear the Voice of Home,' will soon be released on Tencent Video. I play a young leading cadre, Director Lu. See you at noon on July 26th!"

The Weibo post also included a still of him from a drama.

He was wearing an executive jacket, exuding an air of righteousness, and looked very handsome.

Shortly after the Weibo post was published, comments from netizens began to appear.

"I was wondering where you were! You've gone to act!"

"I'm really fed up. The entertainment industry these days is so boring. Singers become famous and then they go on to act, and actors become famous and then they go on to sing."

"It seems unreliable for a singer to go into acting."

"Putting everything else aside, this still is pretty good. He's playing a department head? Can online movies really have such high-ranking officials?"

"Whether the acting is good or not doesn't matter, as long as the overall feel is there!"

"Lu Ran, are you sick? Who calls fans 'comrades'?"

Netizens from all walks of life have come.

Then some marketing accounts also rushed over upon hearing the news.

Marketing accounts just want to join in the fun.

This incident has sparked a new topic.

"Lu Ran's starring role in a web movie is about to be released."

The topic's popularity soared rapidly thanks to Lu Ran's own popularity.

There are supporters, but the majority are against it.

People aren't stupid; they all know what level celebrities are at these days.

When singers go into acting, very few of them can act well.

Under Lu Ran's Weibo post, a person called "Entertainment Industry Discipline Committee Member" posted a comment, which received many likes.

"So you're finally dropping the act, huh? You're laying your cards on the table, aren't you? You're starting to fleece your fans, aren't you? Sailors have only just become popular and you're already rushing to act and make money? I thought you were different from other celebrities! And you call yourself Director Lu? Which director is as young as you? I'm telling you right now, if Lu Ran can act well, I'll personally give away ten one-year memberships to Tencent Video to my viewers, and I'll never criticize Lu Ran's acting again!"
