This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 491 Director Lu, you finally remembered you're a singer.
On the other hand, Lu Ran gave his answer a thumbs up.

Am I, Lu Ran, the kind of person who easily falls in love with women?

Are you kidding me?
Don't worry, Mrs. Shen, my private life is fine.

However, after he sent the message, Mrs. Shen never replied.

That evening, Lu Ran returned to his hotel and opened his Shake app.

He has now turned off all the hand-shaking notifications.

There's no way around it, there are just too many notifications; I simply couldn't possibly read them all every day.

He opened the comments section and found that it was already full of comments from netizens.

"Director Lu, I order you to update the Legend of Sword and Fairy series immediately! Five episodes are not enough for anyone to watch!"

"You're really shameless, shamelessly opening a Spark TV station to broadcast Legend of Sword and Fairy, just those five episodes on a loop, is this a TV station?"

"Who broadcasts TV dramas like this? Give me some more TV dramas right now."

Seeing a group of netizens urging him to update, Lu Ran was also overwhelmed.

The bottleneck in the update speed of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not the netizens, but the speed of post-production.

The special effects industry is actually a labor-intensive industry. If the initial creative design is good, the more people involved in the production process, the faster and better it will be.

However, hardware rendering and similar processes have their limitations; they can't be completed instantly.

Two new episodes have already been produced, but Lu Ran has no plans to update them.

He plans to accumulate seven episodes before releasing them all at once.

The pacing of this part of the "Chinese Paladin" storyline is actually a bit slow, mainly because it focuses on character development and laying the groundwork for later plot developments. If the updates are slow, it will actually negatively impact the viewer's experience.

"We cannot ignore the opinions of the audience."

Lu Ran opened the "Chinese Paladin" live stream room.

The live stream was playing the first five episodes of "Chinese Paladin" on a loop.

Users of Douyin (TikTok) will come across this live stream when they browse the app; those who are attracted can click in to watch.

If you think it's good, you can watch the first five episodes directly on Douyin without watching the live stream.

This live stream is broadcast 24 hours a day.

However, it seems that the content of the live stream is somewhat boring.

Lu Ran opened his Douyin live stream and gave it a title.

"Spark TV Listeners' Meeting".

As the number of viewers in the live stream increased, Lu Ran said, "Let me explain to everyone that when we first started Spark TV, we didn't think that much about it. I've seen all the suggestions you've made, and the content on Spark TV is indeed a bit monotonous at the moment."

Lu Ran's words immediately sparked a lot of discussion among netizens.

"I'm satisfied with your attitude, but I don't like your performance."

"Put all your shows on this live stream!"

"Don't mess around. Director Lu's other dramas are all copyrighted; they can't just be shown on any platform."

"Then let Director Lu continue filming the new drama."

"Filming can't be that fast."

"Actually, it's not that I necessarily want to watch anything, I just want to find the feeling of watching TV."

“Since it’s called Xinghuo TV, it has to look like a TV station. You have to have all the programs that TV stations have.”

"They've got everything: news, music, legal news, TV shopping, movies, TV series, cartoons, etc. I don't even need to turn on the TV anymore; I can just scroll through my phone."

Viewers shared their thoughts in the live stream.

"Is this meant for me to turn Spark TV into a real television channel? To stream content from Douyin (TikTok)?"

Lu Ran thought about it for a moment. This matter sounded a bit outrageous, but it wasn't entirely without feasibility.

In fact, some TV stations now broadcast some programs live on Douyin, such as the news broadcast, which can be watched live on Douyin.

People scroll through Douyin (TikTok) not because they really want to see anything; often they just scroll through it out of boredom to kill time.

The shift of people's attention from large screens to small screens is a change of the times, and this trend will not change.

Lu Ran picked up a pen and paper and wrote down everyone's thoughts one by one.

Some people want to watch food programs, while others want to watch sports programs.

In short, the goal is to diversify the channel's programming.

After recording all of this, Lu Ran looked at the camera.

"All the opinions and suggestions of our comrades have been recorded. We will organize a special study and tailor an improvement plan based on our actual work to ensure that Xinghuo TV can better serve the spiritual and cultural needs of the people."

After saying all that, Lu Ran ended the live stream immediately. He then mentioned the incident in the Burning Studio's group chat.

He hadn't really thought about the content of Spark TV before, but since the people have a demand, he could satisfy it within his capabilities.

Li Quan: "Speaking of animated films, the Little Carp Adventure at Liaoyuan Animation Studio is almost finished. Yang Guang said that they are very efficient, as if they have divine help."

Lu Ran knew that it was the effect of the system's "Unity of Will and Unity" prop that allowed Yang Guang and the others to do it so quickly.

"Don't rush into The Adventures of Little Carp; this animation is ultimately a children's animation."

The people in this online group are mostly adults, and they have relatively little interest in children's animation.

It's okay to release it, but not now.

At this moment, Li Haorui said, "Why don't you start by making some music? That's your forte, and it won't involve any copyright disputes."

With the music copyright in his hands, it's his to use as he pleases.

Lu Ran thought about it for a moment, and that's exactly how it is.

He hasn't even finished releasing his album "Youth" yet, so he might as well release it here.

Besides showing TV dramas, we also played some songs.

After making the decision, Lu Ran made some preparations.

So far, he has only released two songs from his album "Youth," while songs he wrote for other singers' albums have been released one after another.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen sent a message.

"Let me listen to the songs on the back of your album."

Lu Ran: "Don't rush, we'll listen together when it's online."

“I asked Li Quan for it.”

"How boring you are."

"So what songs will you sing next?"

"There are love songs."

"Have you ever been in a relationship before you write love songs?"

"Comrade Qingyi, I have to criticize you for saying that. Does that mean you can't write love songs if you've never been in a relationship? That's empiricism and dogmatism."

"Oh."

The wealthy woman, Ms. Shen, did not reply.

Lu Ran asked Li Quan to prepare, and then posted an update on Douyin and Weibo.

"The new song will be released tomorrow night at 8 PM. Please tune in to the Legend of Sword and Fairy Douyin live stream on Xinghuo TV. The new song will be available on the live stream as soon as it's released, and these songs will continue to be played on Xinghuo TV."

Lu Ran's post immediately caused a sensation in the music scene.

Given Lu Ran's current influence in the music industry, he can certainly produce such an effect.

Both singers and listeners are curious about his new song.

"So you've finally remembered you're still a singer, huh!"

"Using singing to drive viewership for TV dramas, you're something else."

"This kind of propaganda is outrageous, but I have to listen to it!"

The news of Lu Ran's new song release immediately went viral and became a trending topic.

The next day, on a lawn on the film set, Li Quan began to gather people and set up a simple stage.

The equipment was placed directly on the lawn, with a few chairs set up.

The audience members brought over chairs from the film crew and placed them in the audience area.

Tonight is a perfect time to let the entire crew relax with a small team-building activity, with plenty of food and drinks.

After finishing filming their scenes during the day, Lu Ran and the others changed into casual clothes.

Lu Ran even put on a pair of jeans, making him look like a young male college student.

This is the outfit he changed into to fit the theme of the album.

Time flew by, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

On the lawn, a group of people sat on chairs, drinking beer and beverages and eating, creating a lively scene.

The reason for the lively atmosphere was that several crew members from the film crew ran up and started wailing and howling, which livened up the atmosphere.

The atmosphere at the scene was joyful and harmonious.

Lu Ran also walked to the center of the stage and sat down in a chair.
