This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 53 I just want to finish singing and go home

After listening to Lu Ran's analysis, Zhao Long suddenly understood.

That's why they call themselves Director Lu.

He considered far more aspects when analyzing things than he did.

It explains complex concepts in simple terms, getting straight to the heart of the matter.

He called his cousin tonight and explained the pros and cons.

He believed his cousin would understand his good intentions.

Moreover, his cousin, who was originally the vice class monitor, was only a deputy class leader even after being transferred to the discipline committee of the top class.

Now, the person advising his cousin is a department-level official.

Advice at this level must be heeded.

"I feel like Director Lu is just playing yourself," Zhao Long joked.

He also went to see a movie.

Lu Ran waved his hand: "Playing myself would be an insult to my character. I am different from Lu Jie. He went down a wrong path, while I am on the right path."

Zhao Long nodded repeatedly, indicating that Director Lu was right.

The other contestants around them were dumbfounded.

There's definitely something wrong with one of you!

Meanwhile, Lin Xingchu finished her makeup backstage.

She was wearing a black mini skirt and a black top today, giving off a cool and stylish vibe.

These days, what female celebrities wear when they appear in public is quite important.

Her outfits for every event are specially selected by a stylist.

While waiting in the private dressing room, Sister Qin pushed open the door and walked in.

Sister Qin instructed the makeup artist, "If there's nothing else, you can go out now."

The makeup artist immediately went out.

Once the dressing room was empty, Sister Qin whispered in Lin Xingchu's ear, "Director Xu asked me to tell you that the competition rules for the second round have been changed."

Lin Xingchu asked, "How was it changed?"

Sister Qin explained the new rules.

Lin Xingchu's face immediately showed anger.

"Isn't this targeting Lu Ran?"

What kind of public jury is this? Let's just call it the "Human Relationships and Social Skills Jury" instead.

I wouldn't say all the people here are problematic, but at least half of them are.

Even the so-called public jury needs to eat, so they will naturally vote according to the public's preferences.

"Did Director Xu do this?" Lin Xingchu asked angrily.

She realized as soon as she finished speaking that it couldn't be Xu Zi.

If it were Xu Zi, there would be no need to remind her.

Besides, Xu Zi is on Lu Ran's side, so there's no need for her to make things difficult for herself.

"That was done by other entertainment companies."

Lin Xingchu immediately sensed something was wrong.

These past few days, Lu Ran has been on a rapid rise in popularity, and the stage of "Future Singer" is the cornerstone of his popularity.

If the foundation is gone, the impact on Lu Ran will be enormous.

If Lu Ran debuts in his current state, he will fail miserably.

In the entertainment industry, opportunities are fleeting.

It will be difficult to have such a period of rapid development again.

"I understand," Lin Xingchu said.

She was also thinking about how to deal with it later.

After spending time with Lu Ran, she felt that he was a very nice young man.

Such a talented young person should continue on this stage!

……

While everyone waited, there were three rows of seats on the other side of the studio.

These three rows of seats, with ten seats in each row and a total of thirty seats, are where the public jury will be seated.

After putting on their makeup, the members of the public jury took their seats one by one.

A woman with heavy makeup sat in a seat. In front of her seat was a sign that read "Maili'er".

Mai Li'er is a relationship blogger who helps people solve relationship problems online.

She has a round face and doesn't seem very approachable.

After sitting down, Mai Li'er started chatting with the people next to her. As they chatted, they started talking about the players who would be performing today.

"Have you seen Lu Ran's movie?" a man next to me asked.

The man had a sign hanging in front of him that read "Hu Nengkai." He was also an internet celebrity, in the music field.

Mai Li'er said with a look of disgust, "Who would watch such a terrible online movie? It's all just marketing hype."

"The movie is pretty good, you can go see it. If you really can't, you can listen to the theme song," Hu Nengkai enthusiastically recommended.

Mai Li'er scoffed, "You said 'Come home often,' right? This song is so corny! Hu Nengkai, I really need to reconsider your taste. You listen to this kind of song? Don't recommend any more songs to me in the future."

Hu Nengkai smiled and said nothing more.

Everyone has different preferences, and he won't force someone to like something they don't.

"I wonder what song Lu Ran will sing today."

Hu Nengkai is quite looking forward to it.

What he didn't know was that Mai Li'er, standing to the side, was thinking, "Let's get the game started already!"

She had been contacted a few days before the show was recorded.

You can get a thousand yuan for each vote you cast for certain contestants.

Giving Lu Ran a low vote or not voting at all will directly result in a business cooperation offer.

That's a huge profit!

She can become a member of the public jury if she agrees.

Mai Li'er agreed without hesitation.

Some members of the public jury had already secretly reached agreements with certain companies before the show was recorded.

Although the company that signed the contract with Mailier was a kind of intermediary, Mailier knew that it was actually the entertainment companies behind these contestants that were in control.

Hu Nengkai, on the other hand, was a normal member of the public jury and had no idea that this was even a thing.

With the entire audience jury seated, the three mentors also took their seats, and the audience was all present.

At exactly 2 PM, the recording of the second performance officially began.

Lu Ran was the last to go on stage this time, and he guessed that Xu Zi did it on purpose.

There are advantages to being the last to play.

He stared at the screen, curious to see what kind of antics the public jury would pull.

As each contestant took the stage to perform, the audience jury also displayed a variety of creative approaches.

Everyone has their own ideas, and there are some shrewd people on the audience jury who want to create some entertainment value for themselves.

After one contestant finished singing, a female internet celebrity who owns a coffee shop commented: "I feel that your singing lacks a lingering aftertaste. It feels like a plain cappuccino to me. I prefer the taste of Americano coffee."

The contestants were completely bewildered.

What the hell are you talking about?
Sing me a line that gives me the feel of an Americano!

Some of them seem like they're there for the sake of the show, while others seem like they're there to demonstrate the lowest possible level of intelligence.

Even in the contestants' waiting room, some hot-tempered contestants directly complained on camera.

Everyone was speechless.

However, what some people didn't notice was that the attitudes of the audience judges changed when several contestants took the stage.

After Fei Lingyun finished her performance, many of the audience members praised her.

In the end, Fei Lingyun received 583 votes, ranking first in the entire competition.

When he returned to the waiting room, some of the other players offered their congratulations.

Fei Lingyun gave Lu Ran a provocative look before returning to her seat.

Finally, after the performance of the thirty-eighth contestant, a staff member walked into the waiting room.

"Teacher Lu Ran, please prepare to enter."

Lu Ran was about to get up when Wang Jiayue whispered a reminder: "Those audience judges are out of their minds, don't pay any attention to them."

"it is good."

Before long, Lu Ran stood at the entrance of the stage with a microphone in hand.

A staff member asked, "Lu Ran, this is your second performance. How are you feeling right now?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Right now, I just want to finish singing and get off work as soon as possible."

The staff immediately burst into laughter.

Why do you feel the same way I do?

I want to get off work too!

They've been recording for hours!

Finally, the stage was cleared, and Lu Ran walked along the passageway onto the stage.

When he stood on the stage, a cheer erupted from the audience.

Thank you to the following for their generous donations: Western Buddha of Divine Light, woofer, and Water Wave.
