This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 60: Let's hear what Director Lu has to say!

The female host waited nervously by the stage.

She was about to go up, but the assistant director backstage stopped her.

The assistant director told her not to go up yet, and to wait for Director Xu to return.

There is only Lu Ran on the stage now.

Lu Ran carried a guitar on his back, listening to the shouts of a group of audience members below the stage.

He originally planned to leave the stage after his performance, but the audience was so enthusiastic that he felt too embarrassed to leave.

Lu Ran now has an impulse; he really wants to use his talent for charisma to deliver a passionate speech on stage.

"Viewers, I don't think talent shows should be like this!"

It's kind of exciting to think about.

He was afraid that if he actually said this in a speech, he would lose control of the situation.

If a member of the audience couldn't resist rushing up and beating up these public judges, then he would also be one of the main culprits.

Such highly inflammatory speeches should not be given lightly; otherwise, they could actually land him in jail.

Just as Lu Ran was pondering what to say to quiet the audience, the female host finally stepped onto the stage.

At this moment, the female host's expression had returned to normal.

She smiled and asked, "Wasn't Lu Ran's performance wonderful?"

The audience's voices gradually subsided, and someone shouted, "Fantastic!"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and let Lu Ran advance!"

"The audience jury knows absolutely nothing about music!"

"Even if we have to vote again, I'll still cast my vote for Lu Ran!"

The host has received Xu Zi's notification.

Knowing the result, she became more composed.

With a solemn expression, she said, "Dear viewers, the three mentors, and the thirty members of the audience jury, after an emergency discussion by the production team, we believe that some members of the audience jury did not act fairly and impartially during the voting process for contestant Lu Ran. Therefore, the production team has made the following decision."

"The production team will conduct a new review and disqualify any members of the public jury who do not meet the standards. We welcome everyone's supervision."

"The original top 30 contestants will remain in the same position, and Lu Ran will advance to the next round as the 31st contestant."

"On behalf of the production team, I apologize for today's recording mishap. Please trust that 'Future Singer' will adhere to the principles of fairness and impartiality in the competition! We also look forward to the contestants' future performances!"

After saying all this, the female host turned to Lu Ran and said, "Lu Ran, congratulations on advancing."

"Thank you."

Lu Ran then looked at the audience: "Thank you, Teacher Lin, thank you, Teacher Zhou, thank you everyone."

He then looked towards the public jury: "Thank you to the teachers on the public jury for conducting the vote fairly and impartially."

On the mentor's seat, Lin Xingchu raised her hand and gave Lu Ran a thumbs up.

To be honest, things would have been a bit more complicated if Lu Ran hadn't performed a second version of "I Am a Little Bird".

But Lu Ran sang it a second time, and it was different.

Singing is one way to convey emotions, and Lu Ran won over all the audience members with his singing.

This solidified the resolve of those who were initially hesitant.

Zhou Hao looked at Lu Ran with a face full of satisfaction, clapping his hands gently.

Among the audience jury, Mai Li'er had already lowered her head, and many others besides her had also lowered their heads.

Even the most thick-skinned person couldn't hold back at this moment.

They are public figures, after all, and they were publicly executed by the program team.

It's obvious they've been sold out and used as cannon fodder.

Moreover, according to the contract they signed with the production team, they will likely have to bear other responsibilities in the future.

"This money is really hard to earn."

"I'm really fed up. I should have known better than to take this job."

"I'm so angry, it's so embarrassing."

Hu Nengkai was extremely excited. "Gold always shines! Lu Ran is awesome! We should have more of these kinds of scenes. The great poets of ancient times created their best poems and songs after they were demoted. Lu Ran is the same; only by experiencing setbacks can one write good songs!"

If Lu Ran knew what Hu Nengkai was thinking, he would definitely thank him.

In the contestants' waiting room, Zhao Long excitedly shouted "Yay!"
I finally feel much better!
He doesn't need to withdraw from the competition!

On the other side, Fei Lingyun was expressionless, his fists clenched tightly.

How could they possibly turn things around?
“That’s awesome.”

Chen Yinan didn't know how to describe it, he could only say "awesome".

The two of them had very mixed feelings at that moment.

They just regret that the people standing on the stage weren't them.

Lu Ran's popularity is about to explode!
At this moment, Lu Ran picked up his guitar and prepared to leave the stage.

He had just turned around when an audience member shouted, "Director Lu, say a few words!"

Several more audience members joined in the commotion.

Lu Ran stopped and turned around to look at the group of spectators, his head full of question marks.

What are you talking about?

An audience member shouted, "I want to hear what Director Lu has to say!"

Lu Ran understood now: these people didn't want to hear him speak, they wanted to hear Director Lu speak, they wanted to hear the billiard hall director's speech.

There are actually people who like this?

It's obvious they haven't had much of a job!

Anyone who has ever worked a regular job would like this thing.
It's a good thing he's been reading a lot lately, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to say. I'll just say that reading more books is useful!
Lu Ran handed the guitar to the host.

The female host paused for a moment, then took the guitar.

Lu Ran reached out and straightened his collar, instantly entering the Lu Hall mode.

Although he wasn't wearing an executive jacket, it was as if he were.

The audience immediately became interested.

Lu Ran said with a serious expression: "Art is the clarion call of the times. It best represents the spirit of an era and best guides the trend of an era."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the audience, and continued, "Ultimately, the artistic achievements of an era should be judged by its works, and the life value of writers and artists should also be judged by their works. Creation is the central task, and works are the foundation of one's standing. Without excellent works, no matter how lively or fancy other things are, they are just superficial."

As he said this, Lu Ran's gaze swept over Jiang Yaofeng.

It was just a glance; Director Lu doesn't hold grudges.

The audience members were just there for the spectacle, but they were surprised to find that what Lu Ran said actually made a lot of sense.

Every word is precious.

"Aren't the other contestants sweating buckets?"

"I know there's someone on the mentor's panel who's also sweating profusely, but I won't say who it is."

"Director Lu, you're quite the talker!"

In the agent's lounge, Chen Ke looked at Li Quan with surprise.

"Did you teach him this?"

Li Quan shook his head: "I don't have that skill level."

Not to mention the two of them, even their agents were stunned.

Is this what contestants say on a talent show?

At this point, Lu Ran continued, "The vitality of literary and artistic works lies in the people's recognition, and the standards for artistic evaluation must never be divorced from the masses."

"Finally, please allow me to express my stance with the lyrics of 'I Am a Little Bird.' Flying higher is not a personal honor, but an answer to the times for artists. The program team's handling of the situation today reflects the industry's determination to clean up itself. I believe that as long as the stage is returned to the people, the songs of the times will be sung even louder."

After speaking, Lu Ran bowed to the audience.

The audience erupted in applause.

P.S.: The plot has indeed been a bit dragging and has some issues lately. I won't go into too much detail about the explanations. I originally wanted to create some thrilling moments of a comeback, but the writing turned out to be long and tedious. Anyway, it's my fault. I sincerely apologize and won't write like this again. I'll continue to provide you with a light and enjoyable reading experience. I'm going to grab a bottle of Gatorade and be right back.

The first half of Lu Ting's speech at the end of this chapter is quoted from "Speech at the Symposium on Literature and Art".
