This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 477 The Same Song!

The next day, some singers from the music scene arrived in Qincheng to prepare for the evening's Yuefu Awards ceremony.

The official Weibo account of the Yuefu Award has also started promoting it on Douyin and Weibo.

As the promotion began, netizens' attention was drawn to it.

"Su Qingtang has indeed arrived!"

“Even Xinghan went.”

"Teng Zhihui and the others also went."

"And all the trainees from Dadi Training Center are here!"

"Lin Xingchu is here too!"

"Holy crap? Tan Jiashu and Heshan Film Studio are here too? They're both producers."

"Shaanxi Propaganda Department also helped with the publicity."

"The local TV station is also promoting it."

"So many top-tier singers are here!"

Netizens are keeping track of who came and who didn't.

When the final list was compiled, everyone was shocked.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

It's said that not many people attended the first Yuefu Awards, but quite a few well-known singers did come this time; you could say it represented half of the music industry.

This group includes representatives from music companies, lyricists, composers, professional arrangers, producers, and so on.

It involves professionals from multiple fields such as folk, bel canto, and pop music.

Later, secretaries from relevant departments will also be present at the scene.

Netizens were completely baffled.

"What's the meaning of the Party Secretary even showing up at your awards ceremony?"

This awards ceremony looks different from those ceremonies of those flashy and cheap women in the entertainment industry.

When the Yuefu Award was being prepared, Qincheng Culture and Tourism approached Lu Ran.

It's a music award, also called the Yuefu Award.

Before the Music Bureau, it existed in the Han Dynasty.

The capital of the Han Dynasty was Chang'an.

Qincheng has a film festival, but it hasn't had any music awards yet.

If no one else is going to do it, fine. But since Lu Ran is going to do it, I won't make things worse if I can't help.

These are all achievements.

Lu Ran had brought over half of the music industry; even Qincheng Cultural Tourism and Shaanxi Propaganda Department didn't have that much influence.

Time flew by, and it was soon 8 p.m.

The live broadcast of the Yuefu Awards officially began on Douyin (TikTok).

The Yuefu Awards ceremony follows a similar procedure to other ceremonies, with singers walking the red carpet and entering the venue one after another at the beginning.

This can also be considered a kind of ritual.

However, when netizens saw the red carpet of the Yuefu Awards, they felt that something was off.

"I don't know why, but the red carpet at this awards ceremony gave me the feeling of a meeting?"

"I have to say, these singers are all dressed quite formally. It doesn't feel like they're going to an entertainment awards ceremony, but rather to a meeting in a conference room!"

"I've figured out what's wrong. It's all red carpet, but this outfit is off."

In other award ceremonies in the entertainment industry, the red carpet is usually outdoors, and the color of the autograph wall follows the brand of the sponsor.

The Yuefu Award has no sponsors, and the main colors of the surrounding decorations are red and yellow.

Along the passageway to the venue, photos, names, and information of the ceremony's guests were posted.

The profile picture is also a white background photo.

When netizens discovered this, they immediately lost their composure.

As the singers entered one by one, for some reason, I subconsciously felt a sense of seriousness and solemnity as soon as they stood on the red carpet.

The viewers in the live stream immediately lost their composure.

"At first I thought this awards ceremony would be nothing special, but it turns out it has to be the Lu Hall."

"To be honest, I think this is a good thing. The entertainment industry right now needs to be cleaned up like this. These people in the entertainment industry have lost all sense of right and wrong!"

"Some people in the entertainment industry have no sense of country, no sense of family, no sense of law, and no sense of audience!"

As singers entered the venue, Lu Ran also stepped onto the red carpet and entered the scene at the middle of the event.

He was wearing a badge for the Yuefu Award around his neck and waved to the camera.

"As soon as I saw Director Lu waving, I wanted to say 'Hello, Director Lu'."

"Director Lu has such a powerful presence."

"I think Director Lu, you don't want to create new awards, you just want to create a new entertainment industry!"

Once everyone had entered, the camera shifted to the interior of the venue.

At this moment, the towering doors of the venue, several meters high, were tightly closed.

At this moment, the gate slowly opened to both sides.

The people walking at the front were Lu Ran, Su Qingtang, Tang Yufeng, Teng Zhihui, and others.

The other singers followed behind them in a dense, dark mass.

The group slowly walked into the venue.

"Damn! Director Lu, you're so imposing right now!"

"Director Lu, are you really going to become the head of the music industry now?!"

"Director Lu: I'm standing in the middle. Who's in favor, and who's opposed?"

The viewers in the live stream were stunned.

The feeling of your awards ceremony is truly different from other entertainment industry events.

As everyone took their seats, the singing began.

The song that played was "Singing and Smiling".

"Please take my song home with you, and leave your smile behind."

At this moment, when such a song plays, the audience feels something different.

Previously, the Chinese Music Awards were rife with corruption, with other awards taking a cut of the profits. Everyone was disgusted, but there was nothing they could do.

At this moment, this award, created by the entire nation, has transformed from a small idea into a reality through everyone's joint efforts.

As the song played, the singer took his seat, and Lu Ran stepped onto the stage.

As the planner and initiator, he has to be the one to give the opening speech.

Lu Ran's voice rang out.

"Comrades, it is an honor to stand here tonight and give the opening remarks for the Yuefu Award."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in applause.

Lu Ran continued, "From the ancient ancestors chiseling stones to the music resounding in auditoriums today, music has always accompanied the development of human civilization. But one thing has never changed: music originates from the people; it is the song that resonates in the lives of the people—this is the true root of music." "The establishment of the Yuefu Award is the result of the joint participation of colleagues on the literary and artistic front and the general public..."

During his opening remarks, the atmosphere in the room was quite serious.

With his speaking style, everyone's hands seemed to obey him; they had to raise their hands and clap after each paragraph.

However, Lu Ran didn't say how long it would take, just a few minutes.

"I hereby declare the inaugural Yuefu Award Ceremony officially open!"

The subsequent process was similar to other award ceremonies, with all the usual awards presented.

Because Lu Ran was the organizer, his work was not included in the selection.

After all the awards were announced, Lin Xingchu, the award presenter, stood on the stage.

Lin Xingchu said with a smile, "During our judging process, the audience judges strongly requested that we add an award and give it to a special person who should have won it, but who has never won any awards before."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Ran, who was sitting in the first row.

Lu Ran's achievements last year were remarkable.

But I just can't win an award.

To be honest, the singers who won the Album of the Year award today are all a little nervous.

If Lu Ran hadn't been ineligible to run, it wouldn't have been his turn.

Lin Xingchu looked at Teng Zhihui beside her.

"Teacher Teng, please."

Teng Zhihui opened the card in his hand.

"The name of this award is the Annual Golden Fertilizer Singer Award."

The entire audience burst into laughter.

Lin Xingchu: "Award-winning singer".

The two of them read out the name in unison.

"Lu Ran!"

The camera then shifted to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was also somewhat surprised.

He knew nothing about this, mainly because he didn't have time to pay attention to the specifics of the review process; it was Li Quan who was reporting the situation to him.

Li Quan and Shen Fupo decided not to tell Lu Ran about this, keeping it as a little surprise.

In the live stream, a group of netizens laughed.

"I never expected the Golden Fertilizer Award to be resurrected!"

"This award should go to Director Lu; he's the most suitable one!"

"There's a saying that goes, 'Don't forget the person who ate your shit,' Director Lu truly deserves this award!"

"Is this considered an honorary award?"

"The 'Golden Fertilizer of Yuefu' must be an honor. Golden Fertilizer is fertilizer, it's nutrition, it promotes plant growth!"

Lu Ran slowly stood up, walked onto the stage, and accepted the Golden Fertilizer Award trophy from Lin Xingchu's hands.

This trophy has a different design than previous trophies. The main body is shaped like a tilted gold burlap sack with the sack's opening slightly open.

The entire bag was surrounded by ears of wheat.

The handwriting above indicates the year of the award, the edition number, the award name, and the singer's name.

Lu Ran looked at the trophy in his hand and walked to the microphone.

"Thank you all for your support. I hope that my song 'Golden Fertilizer' can help the music scene grow stronger. I won't say more. I have prepared a song for everyone. Since we are already on stage, I will dedicate this song to you."

This song was originally intended to be performed by Lu Ran at the end of the ceremony.

Lin Xingchu: "We're handing the stage over to Lu Ran."

Lu Ran handed the trophy to Lin Xingchu and stayed on the stage.

At that moment, a group of children came onto the stage.

These children are the members of the Sunshine Choir.

They sang "Songs and Smiles" at the beginning of the show.

The children surrounded Lu Ran.

Lu Ran held the microphone and slowly said, "The name of this song is 'The Same Song'."

When the song title was announced, the guests present all had sparks in their eyes.

The song title itself sounds unusual.

The children's singing accompanied the music.

"The flowers once told me how you walked this path."

"The earth knows every corner of your heart."

"A sweet dream, no one should miss it~"

"Finally, this joyous moment of gathering has arrived!"

The children's innocent voices seemed to possess a power to melt away everything, soothing the hatred and anxiety in people's hearts.

Some negative emotions seem to melt away and dissipate in the singing.

Lu Ran started singing too.

We've traversed thousands of rivers and mountains.

Every encounter and smile is etched in our memories.

"On a sunny and joyful day~"

"Let's hold hands!"

There's so much I want to say~

On stage, Lu Ran was surrounded by children, and he sang this song with his infectious voice.

Some of the more emotional singers in the audience had tears in their eyes.

Looking at Lu Ran on the stage, they felt that his figure was very tall.

There's a sense that he doesn't fit in with the entertainment industry.

Those around him could stand tall with their optimism, while those in darkness suffered greatly.

"The same feelings gave us the same desires."

"The same joy~"

"They gave us the same song~"

From below the stage, Tang Yufeng looked at Lin Xingchu.

"He is a noble person."

Lin Xingchu nodded: "He's also a pure person."

Tang Yufeng: "But he is not a person who has transcended vulgar interests."

Lin Xingchu nodded, thinking of the strange things Lu Ran had done before: "Indeed."
