This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 478 The Immortal Sword Fails?

At this moment, millions of viewers in the Douyin live stream room heard Lu Ran's singing.

The children's harmonies and Lu Ran's voice intertwine to create this song.

"Listening to this song gives me a sense of happiness, like I haven't felt this way in a long time."

"It gives you a sense of peace and tranquility, a feeling of world peace and reunion."

"I don't know why, but I got a little teary-eyed while listening to it."

"The whole world has the same song, and the meaning behind it is truly wonderful!"

"It begins with singing and smiles, and ends with the same song. Lu Ting is truly an artist."

The live stream chat exploded with comments at that moment.

This song has an inexplicable effect of purifying the soul.

At that moment, everyone seemed to have put aside their prejudices, and only the music remained.

This stage is a stage created purely for music.

There are no shady deals or exchanges of benefits here, only music.

Lu Ran's singing continued.

"Sunlight permeates all languages~"

"Springtime spreads tales of friendship~"

"The same feelings gave us the same desires."

"The same joy gave us the same song~"

When Lu Ran finished singing the last line of the song, the words "The Same Song" seemed to still echo on the stage.

Lu Ran said loudly, "I wish everyone here all the best, and I also wish our music will reach new heights. Thank you everyone!"

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

Amid applause, the Yuefu Awards came to a close.

Lu Ran then attended the final banquet prepared for the Yuefu Awards to exchange ideas with his peers.

It should be noted that besides his identity as Lu Ran, he also has another identity: Shunqi Natural.

He didn't feel anything, but it was a different story for other singers in the music industry.

During the dinner, the topic of the Yuefu Award had already spread online.

In particular, Lu Ran's final rendition of "The Same Song" became an instant hit across the internet.

When netizens come across the video of "The Same Song", they can't help but stop and want to listen to the whole song.

After listening, I felt purified, a feeling that is rare even now.

"I hope our music will get better and better!"

"Under the leadership of Director Lu, we hope to lead the Chinese music scene to its peak!"

"Go, Director Lu!"

Netizens also flocked to Lu Ran's Douyin account or Weibo to leave comments.

That evening, after the banquet, Lu Ran got into the nanny van, with Li Quan by his side.

Lu Ran hadn't drunk much, just a few sips, and his mind was perfectly clear.

However, Li Quan looked worried.

He paused for a moment, then said to Lu Ran, "Ran, there's something important I should tell you now."

"What's the matter?"

"It's related to the Legend of Sword and Fairy."

Li Quan began to talk to Lu Ran.

As he listened, Lu Ran frowned.

After deciding to film a fantasy drama, the entire production team began preparations.

There's no need to worry about the filming crew; Shen Fupo has already started preparing props and sets. The main thing is the actors.

There are many characters involved in TV series. In fact, many actors in fantasy dramas like this film and television series work on different production teams.

These are the familiar faces that everyone often sees in the show.

These actors are experienced and good at this type of drama; they all play supporting roles.

Lu Ran had already finalized most of the cast, and all that was left was to sign the contracts.

Now there's a problem.

Many actors contacted us, saying they were unable to continue filming "Chinese Paladin".

One or two is fine, but this time at least a dozen actors withdrew from filming.

Li Quan said slowly, "I just found out about this news this afternoon. I didn't tell you because you had something to do tonight."

Lu Ran didn't care.

Knowing about this beforehand would have affected my mood.

But it was obvious that he had been set up. Lu Ran could tell who did it even with his bare hands.

It must be from Sheng Xie and Xu Gaomin's side.

Li Quan: "Chen Ke inquired and found that someone in the industry had spread the word that anyone who participates in your fantasy drama will be barred from participating in any big-budget fantasy dramas in the future. These actors still need to make a living, and they can't afford to offend these people, so they gave up."

If Lu Ran continues to film military dramas, the actors involved really have nothing to worry about.

Just follow Lu Ran's lead and you're done.

In the realm of military dramas, Lu Ran's current reputation is incredibly strong.

But period dramas and fantasy dramas are truly different.

Currently, projects in this sector are basically monopolized by large capital firms, which have established a mature system.

Popular celebrities play the male and female leads, while actors without much popularity play supporting roles. Some actors with better acting skills play various supporting roles.

These actors, who play both main and supporting roles, certainly wouldn't dare to offend these people.

Directors like Sheng Xie possess this ability.

For Lu Ran, even if he's hiring someone he knows to act, their acting skills have to be up to par.

But in that industry, acting skills don't matter; it's all about who gets the role, whoever the capital decides.

Fantasy dramas are a huge pitfall, the pitfall being that even some established film and television companies don't bother making them.

Those who have been making films on this subject are now mostly buying IPs to adapt.

The saying "historical dramas produce top stars" perfectly describes this genre. Big investors are pouring a large portion of their funds into this genre to promote their own actors.

After returning to his room, Lu Ran sent a message to Ning Sirou.

"Say something if you're not asleep."

Ning Sirou replied quickly.

"squeak."

Why didn't you quit the show?

Lu Ran had shown the script to Ning Sirou before, and Ning Sirou ultimately decided that she would play Zhao Ling'er, one of the core characters.

Lu Ran now needs to sort out the cast.

Ning Sirou sent three question marks.

"Why would I quit acting? I'm a top-tier actor, after all."

"Are you sure you don't want to quit the show?"

"determine."

"Is it okay if I write 100 million as the penalty for breach of contract?"

"Write whatever you want."

Ning Sirou is at home right now.

After talking with Lu Ran, his mother, Wang Ying, asked, "Who sent you a message?"

Ning Sirou: "It was Lu Ran who sent it. He asked me why I didn't quit the show."

Wang Ying's brows furrowed immediately.

"Lu Ran is a child who can't tolerate any nonsense."

If Lu Ran hadn't offended the Golden Tripod Award and Sheng Xie's group, none of this would have happened today.

But if Lu Ran were to blend in with this group of people, he wouldn't be himself anymore.

Ning Sirou asked with some concern, "What about Lu Ran?"

Wang Ying: "Finding actors is not a problem. We have so many actors in China. But if the actors are not suitable, the quality of the content will definitely drop. But that's not the most important thing. The key is that no one will buy his show."

If no one buys it, we'll lose money. We can't just show it to everyone for free, can we?

Fantasy dramas have relatively high overall costs; it would be a huge loss to let everyone watch them for free.

“They just want Lu Ran’s project to fail,” Ning Sirou said.

Wang Ying nodded.

Ning Sirou immediately told Lu Ran about this speculation.

Sure enough, the next morning, Ji Yongsheng called first from Dongsun Video.

"Ran, I have to apologize to you about that fantasy drama we talked about before. The higher-ups discussed it and decided not to buy your drama."

Ji Yongsheng's tone was filled with deep apology.

"Hey, let me give you a heads-up. Dongsun spends over 20 billion yuan on copyright acquisition every year, and a large portion of that is purchased from a few big film and television companies in the industry. You should understand what I mean. Sorry, bro."

There are some things that even Ji Yongsheng cannot decide.

To put it bluntly, Lu Ran is too small to be worth it.

“We have our own dramas. If you really want to film a fantasy drama, you can come and act in our drama. I will guarantee your status in the crew.”

"No need, Mr. Ji, thank you."
