This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 5 This cleaner is so handsome!
This rehearsal room was prepared by the production team, and it seems like he's a bit crazy to go and clean it for no reason.

But if you say this isn't positive energy, then it's actually quite positive energy.

This is similar to not littering. For example, after a picnic in the park, you should clean up and put the trash in the bin.

Lu Ran was trying to convince himself.

In the end, he failed to persuade them.

But now that he's come this far, not doing the mission isn't in his nature.

Although there's no penalty for not completing the system's tasks, it's still not right to just watch the rewards slip away.

Furthermore, this is indeed very positive.

Lu Ran mustered his courage, made up his mind, looked at Zhou Ruiyang, and said in a deep voice, "Director Zhou, there is something else I would like to ask you to do."

Zhou Ruiyang's face darkened.

He and Lu Ran had only known each other for a short time, and Lu Ran was already making demands, which was against social etiquette.

Of course, you can make requests to people you've only known for a short time, but that's a transaction.

The surrounding staff also turned their attention to it.

Lu Ran was the first contestant to come up and make demands of the music director.

Zhou Ruiyang said seriously, "Lu Ran, your singing is already good enough to present a good performance to the audience, but if you want to get in through my back door, forget about it."

Indeed, some contestants' agents wanted to give him gifts, hoping he would say something good about them to the mentors.

Zhou Ruiyang considers himself an upright person. If a contestant wants his help because they are dissatisfied with the stage, he is willing to lend a hand. He will not pay attention to those who resort to crooked means.

Just as Zhou Ruiyang was imagining a typical backdoor admission scenario common in the entertainment industry, Lu Ran spoke up.

"No, that's not it. I noticed the floor in our rehearsal room is a bit dirty, and I'd like to help clean it. I hope Director Zhou will agree."

Zhou Ruiyang was stunned.

No buddy, what are you talking about?
Why are you cleaning the rehearsal room?

Isn't this the job of the cleaning staff?

Isn't your time valuable?
Zhou Ruiyang initially thought Lu Ran was putting on an act, but Lu Ran's eyes were full of sincerity.

Based on his years of experience, he could tell that Lu Ran simply wanted to clean the rehearsal room and had no other intentions.

"Is this guy crazy?" Zhou Ruiyang thought to himself.

Just as he was about to refuse, Lu Ran continued, "Teacher Zhou, you've given me so much guidance, and there's nothing I can do to help you. Let me clean the rehearsal room, otherwise I'll feel bad about it."

Lu Ran's attitude was sincere, and he even addressed Zhou Ruiyang as "Teacher Zhou," which made Zhou Ruiyang a little embarrassed.

He had just thought Lu Ran was trying to use connections, since there are plenty of people in the entertainment industry these days who use connections and are used to get in.

"Alright, then you can clean it. You have five minutes," Zhou Ruiyang said.

He returned to his seat and chatted with his subordinates about work.

Lu Ran quickly went out to ask the cleaning lady for a broom and dustpan.

The rehearsal room wasn't large, and apart from the area where the equipment was placed, the rest of the room was easy to clean.

While Lu Ran was diligently sweeping the floor, Zhou Ruiyang and the others kept glancing at him.

"What's up with this guy? I feel a little embarrassed watching him clean."

"Isn't it inappropriate for us to just sit here doing nothing?"

What exactly is he trying to do?

Everyone was a little confused.

Zhou Ruiyang did not participate in the discussion, but instead watched a folk custom video on his phone.

The video shows several fishermen fishing.

Zhou Ruiyang watched these videos in search of inspiration.

He has a friend who needs a folk song.

Although Zhou Ruiyang wasn't particularly good at it, he still wanted to give it a try.

After all, winning this song would have special significance.

On the other side, Lu Ran swept until he came across the spot where Zhou Ruiyang was sitting.

As soon as the staff saw Lu Ran arrive, they all got up and moved their chairs aside, thanking him repeatedly.

Lu Ran replied that he was not being polite.

His attitude made the staff like him very much.

In this era, there are very few artists with this kind of attitude.

At that moment, a system notification popped up in front of Lu Ran's eyes.

"Life prompt card has been triggered. A female singer friend of Zhou Ruiyang needs a folk song, which is quite distressing for Zhou Ruiyang. Your song 'Flying Song of the Earth' is very suitable for this female singer. You can give 'Flying Song of the Earth' to Zhou Ruiyang to take a look. Zhou Ruiyang and his friend are trustworthy people."

The prompt is displayed in the form of a virtual panel and text.

Lu Ran was immediately startled.

Is this how you use a life reminder card?

The song "The Earth Sings" is extremely difficult to sing well; even in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, there are very few people who can sing it well.

Lu Ran is currently struggling to find a suitable singer.

"No wonder he's the music director for a major variety show; his network is indeed extensive."

Lu Ran considered it in his mind.

Giving "The Song of the Earth" to a suitable singer is definitely a good choice. He has no background or connections right now, so this can help him build some connections.

Furthermore, the system also stated that Zhou Ruiyang and his friends are trustworthy.

Then do it!
Lu Ran didn't rush to speak. After he finished cleaning the rehearsal room, he said to Zhou Ruiyang, "Teacher Zhou, I've written a song and would like to ask you for your feedback. Is that alright?"

Zhou Ruiyang laughed and said, "So you were waiting for me here. You cleaned the rehearsal room for me, how could I refuse?"

Zhou Ruiyang joked that even if Lu Ran didn't clean, he would still help Lu Ran find songs.

Lu Ran said, "Then let's add each other as friends and I'll send you the file. This song isn't suitable for me to sing; I only sang a demo."

Zhou Ruiyang nodded, took out his phone, and added Lu Ran as a friend.

After he added her, the girl with the black-rimmed glasses also wanted to add him, and others followed suit, wanting to add Lu Ran as a friend.

Adding friends is essential in this line of work. Lu Ran is currently unknown, but what if he becomes a big star in the future? He can brag about it then.

Lu Ran accepted everyone's invitations and added them as friends.

He sent a demo of his own voice, generated by the system, along with the sheet music and lyrics files, directly to Zhou Ruiyang.

This is a feature he discovered in the system, so he wouldn't have to sing it himself.

After sending the message, he said, "I'm leaving now. See you all tonight."

The girl with black-rimmed glasses immediately waved and said, "See you tonight!"

For some reason, everyone felt very comfortable around Lu Ran. Zhou Ruiyang also smiled and nodded. After Lu Ran left, he looked at the documents on his phone.

The file contains a filename and the song title "The Earth Sings".

"That's an interesting name."

However, Zhou Ruiyang didn't open it to watch right away. He still needed to review the contestants' songs and would watch it after he finished.

On the other side, after Lu Ran walked out of the rehearsal room, he heard a system notification.

[The host has completed the third beginner's guide mission and obtained the Emotional Immersion Talent Card.]

[Complete a positive action to earn 10 points.]

[The new player tutorial has ended. Keep up the good work, host, and strive to become a positive role model!]

Lu Ran opened the dialogue talent card and took a look.

[Emotional Immersion Talent Card: Grants the Emotional Immersion talent upon use. When singing songs or portraying other characters, the host can more easily feel the emotions in the song or character. Note: Sometimes it's best not to immerse yourself in the emotion unnecessarily.]

This is mainly due to his acting talent, which Lu Ran used directly.

He never intended to be just a singer.

If people in the Chinese entertainment industry who can't speak fluent Mandarin can become actors, why can't he?

He's definitely going to make that money!

"This talent also helped me sing Sailor."

Thinking about this, Lu Ran walked to the lobby on the first floor of the TV station.

He noticed that the floor of the lobby on the first floor was a bit dirty, and there was a piece of trash in one corner.

Positive energy! Positive energy!

Lu Ran couldn't control his hands at all, and picked up a broom to start sweeping the floor.

The young woman at the front desk was stunned.

I don't remember hiring such a handsome cleaner?

But she didn't dare ask any more questions.

Just as Lu Ran was sweeping the floor, another agent walked in with a boy, who looked somewhat unhappy.

At this moment, the manager saw Lu Ran sweeping the floor and said directly to the boy, "How many times have I told you? Don't think you're so great just because you're handsome. The entertainment industry is never short of handsome men. Look at that cleaner over there, he's a hundred times more handsome than you, but he can only work as a cleaner at the TV station!"

The boy immediately looked at Lu Ran, his eyes wide open.

Damn it?

Is the entertainment industry really that terrifying?

How can someone with such good looks only be able to work as a cleaner at a TV station?

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

The pride and dissatisfaction on the boy's face vanished instantly.

Not long after the two left, the cleaning lady strolled into the lobby.

When she saw Lu Ran sweeping the floor, she was startled and quickly ran over to snatch the broom from his hand.

The cleaning lady was speechless. "Why are you trying to take my sweeping job?"

Is the entertainment industry this cutthroat now?
"Young man, you take a break, I'll do it," the cleaning lady said quickly.

Lu Ran didn't say anything more, but nodded slightly and said, "Auntie, then you go ahead with your work, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work at all," the auntie said with a smile.

She loved hearing this.

Lu Ran then turned and went to the men's restroom; he had already earned 5 points.

Just after the cleaning lady snatched the broom from his hand, Chen Ke and Wang Jiayue came out of the elevator and saw Lu Ran talking to the cleaning lady.

Chen Ke was very confused; she couldn't figure out which department Lu Ran was the leader of.

He manages the security guards, he manages the cleaning staff, and he can also say a few words to Zhou Ruiyang.

Could this person be some high-ranking leader who can oversee everything?

Such a young senior leader is outrageous!
Chen Ke wanted to go up and chat with him, but when she saw Lu Ran enter the men's restroom, she turned around and went to the front desk.

She was always good at communicating, and asked, "Do you know that handsome guy from earlier? Which leader at the TV station is he?"

The receptionist asked in confusion, "Him? He's not a manager, he's a contestant who's going to participate in the competition today."

Chen Ke's expression froze instantly.

Is this person crazy?

Why are you, a player, acting like a leader?
Chen Ke felt her cheeks burning. She thought about what she had told Wang Jiayue before, that she should get along well with Lu Ran, and her fever flared up even more.

Her toes were digging into the ground inside her high heels.

The receptionist asked in confusion, "Why is your face red? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Ke quickly replied, "No, no."

She hurriedly pulled Wang Jiayue away from the TV station building.

She never wanted to see Lu Ran again!

After Lu Ran came out of the restroom, he received a call from Li Quan. Shortly afterward, the two met at the entrance of the TV station.

Li Quan smiled and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"bad news."

"The bad news is that Xu Zi, the director of Future King of Singers, doesn't want to see me. The good news is that not only did Xu Zi not see me, she also didn't see any of her company's agents. This director has guts. Could she really want to run a well-received talent show?"

Li Quan didn't say anything more, and said, "Let's go eat, we'll see tonight."

On the other side, after a busy afternoon, Zhou Ruiyang finally went through all the contestants' performances.

The remaining task is to record tonight's program.

However, the recording of the first round of the competition was relatively simple, and the stage was not complicated, which saved him a lot of trouble.

The other staff members had already gone out to eat, and he was the only one in the rehearsal room.

He stretched and took out his phone, opening the chat window with Lu Ran.

He was quite interested in the song title "The Earth Sings".

With the success of "Sailor" preceding him, he was very curious about what kind of song Lu Ran could come up with next.

Zhou Ruiyang played a demo of the song directly.

As the intro began, Zhou Ruiyang's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily sat up straight.

As soon as the first line of lyrics was sung, Zhou Ruiyang stood up immediately.

"This song is amazing!"
