This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 61 My body has been given to the country, and I can no longer give it to you.
The 500 audience members were all genuine viewers, carefully selected by Xu Zi, not just there to fill the seats.

There will definitely be fans of the players here, but that's okay.

These 500 audience members are at least the most authentic and impartial.

The audience had no other thoughts when they heard Lu Ran's words; it was just one sentence.

Director Lu, you're right!
"Director Lu's ideological awareness is truly high!"

"Your speaking skills are really lacking, Director Lu!"

"I can really learn something from Director Lu!"

The audience was also very impressed.

The entertainment industry is becoming increasingly chaotic these days.

Let's not even talk about the scandals involving celebrities; this has happened before.

But at the very least, give the audience some songs to listen to and some movies and TV shows to watch.

In the end, things got worse year by year.

Artists have long forgotten their original aspirations!

Lu Ran gave everyone hope.

He said it, and he did it!

After standing up, Lu Ran took the guitar from the host and turned to leave the stage.

The female host's gaze towards Lu Ran changed.

Is this really the same talent show contestant I know?
Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the head of the publicity department!
That's skill!

The host continued to the next segment according to the program schedule.

There was also a segment where eliminated contestants went on stage to give their farewell speeches.

Backstage, Xu Zi asked the director, "Was everything recorded?"

The director immediately said, "It's all recorded."

Xu Zi nodded slightly.

Lu Ran had already given her enough surprises.

In today's entertainment industry, many people can't even say such things, and they're too lazy to even pretend.

Lu Ran, however, has been putting his words into practice.

This last paragraph, coupled with Lu Ran's situation today, would definitely generate several trending topics if it were broadcast.

This is very beneficial to the show's popularity and reputation.

This is the kind of player she wants!

"Could he really be preparing for the civil service exam?"

Even Xu Zi herself had her doubts.

Your art style is so different from the other contestants!

In the room at the back of the studio.

As the news of Lu Ran's advancement was announced, everyone got up one after another, preparing to leave.

After the person in charge of Orange Video left, Ren Xin immediately followed, and the two went together.

The person in charge at Orange Video is named Du Jie, who is the Publicity Director of Orange Video.

Because the future King of Singers is a high-ranking singer, Du Jie personally came to the scene.

"President Du, are we just going to leave Lu Ran like this?" Ren Xin asked.

Xingyao Media and Juzi Video have many collaborations, and the relationship between the two companies is already very complex, belonging to a state where they are intertwined.

Nowadays, online streaming platforms control the distribution of viewership in talent shows, while entertainment companies control artist resources and have a very high degree of influence on the shows.

The two could have directly controlled the program by joining forces, but unexpectedly, Lu Ran emerged as an anomaly.

Du Jie said somewhat angrily, "If your players had shown some backbone, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Ren Xin was speechless for a moment.

Fei Lingyun and the others are indeed performing worse than Lu Ran.

“We still have an advantage in the rules of the third and fourth rounds of the competition, but I think it would be best to sign Lu Ran. He is much stronger than your people,” Du Jie said, trying to calm himself down.

Anyone can see Lu Ran's current potential.

If we can sign it, that would be the best outcome.

They could also pour all their resources into Lu Ran and make him a top star.

If Lu Ran becomes a top star, his commercial value will far exceed that of Fei Lingyun and others.

“That’s what I was thinking too,” Ren Xin said.

"The contract can be more lenient. Let's get the person signed first. Once the contract is signed, he won't have a say in anything. This is just a suggestion. You can discuss the specifics with General Manager Guo."

The two walked to the parking lot. After Du Jie got into his car, Ren Xin also got into a minivan and made a phone call to Guo Weicheng.

"President Guo, Lu Ran has advanced."

Ren Xin quickly reported what had happened that day to Guo Weicheng.

Guo Weicheng wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Such a talented player must be signed by Xingyao. Don't come back yet, go and take care of this right away."

"Mr. Guo, what kind of contract?" Ren Xin asked.

The contracts of artists can be described as having a clear hierarchy.

New employees' contracts are usually exploited by the company, and Xingyao Media is no exception.

Guo Weicheng pondered for a moment: "He has great potential and is definitely different from other newcomers. We should treat him the same as the established artists in the company."

“Okay, Mr. Guo.” This answer was exactly what Ren Xin had expected.

Star Media has a separate set of contracts for its established artists. After all, they are all established artists, and they certainly cannot be exploited like newcomers.

Even so, the signed agency contract is a full contract, covering all of the artist's performing activities.

The profit split was negotiated, and Ren Xin was prepared to give Lu Ran a 50/50 split.

The contract term is ten years.

Star Media is a mature entertainment company, and its contracts include provisions for managing the image of its artists, such as their words, actions, clothing, and social media content.

Of course, what Ren Xin values ​​most is Lu Ran's creative talent.

Once Lu Ran is signed, Xingyao Media will acquire the copyright to Lu Ran's works, while retaining only the creative rights and profit-sharing rights for Lu Ran.

This kind of contract is already very favorable for Lu Ran, a singer who has not yet officially debuted in the entertainment industry.

If other newcomers in the industry knew that Lu Ran had signed this contract, they would definitely be so envious they would cry.

Ren Xin believed that Lu Ran had absolutely no reason to refuse such a contract.

This is a contract with Star Media!
If Lu Ran and Chang'an Entertainment forcibly terminate the contract and there is a penalty for breach of contract, Xingyao Media can also bear it.

It's all little things.

After thinking these things through, Ren Xin felt much better.

She planned to go back to the hotel first and draft the contract.

On the other side, after Lu Ran returned to the players' waiting room, Zhao Long and the others immediately surrounded him.

"Director Lu, congratulations on advancing!" Zhao Long was genuinely happy.

"Congratulations," Wang Jiayue whispered.

Lu Ran expressed his gratitude and then waited there.

After the recording of the show ended, he rushed to the door of Lin Xingchu's dressing room to wait for her.

Lu Ran is a grateful person.

Lin Xingchu just stood up for him in front of the camera, so he definitely can't just leave like this.

Lin Xingchu could have easily stayed out of it, but she still spoke out for justice.

Lin Xingchu, dressed in black, walked in accompanied by Sister Qin and immediately spotted Lu Ran waiting at the door.

Sister Qin looked worried, and Lin Xingchu's complexion wasn't much better either.

But upon seeing Lu Ran, Lin Xingchu's face instantly broke into a smile.

She waved her hand and said, "It's good that you still remember your mentor. I thought you had just left."

Lin Xingchu teased him on purpose.

"Teacher Lin, thank you so much for speaking up for me today. I have no way to repay you." Lu Ran expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Then why don't you repay me with your body?" Lin Xingchu teased.

Men like Lu Ran are quite popular with women.

He's handsome, talented, and most importantly, has good character; you'd never guess he'd cheat.

If he really cheated, his fans won't forgive him.

Lu Ran said earnestly, "I have already pledged my life to the country, and it is difficult for me to pledge it to you as well."

Lin Xingchu burst out laughing.

Why do you have so many witty remarks?

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now. Your advancement means that Director Xu has already reached an agreement with the others, so this matter will definitely be handled properly. You don't need to worry," Lin Xingchu said with a smile.

She explained the situation to Lu Ran like an older sister.

"And what about you?" Lu Ran asked.

"What do you mean, 'me'? What could possibly happen to me?"

Lin Xingchu didn't care at all.

Lin Xingchu clearly didn't intend to tell Lu Ran, so Lu Ran didn't ask any further questions.

"If I ever write a song that you can sing, I'll definitely sing it for you."

Lin Xingchu immediately became interested: "Really?"

"of course."

"I remember."

Lin Xingchu pushed open the door and entered the dressing room.

Sister Qin glanced at Lu Ran, then followed him into the dressing room and closed the door tightly.

Inside the room, Sister Qin sighed.

Even if Lu Ran writes a song for you, it won't make up for your loss.

Sister Qin understands that Lin Xingchu spoke up for Lu Ran today, but she still has to consider Lin Xingchu's feelings.

Those companies certainly won't let this go; at the very least, they'll give Lin Xingchu a little warning.

Otherwise, how will they survive in this industry?

The likely methods of this attack are releasing damaging information and cutting off business dealings; these two points alone would be enough to cause Lin Xingchu significant losses.

Lin Xingchu looked in the mirror, and her face was exquisite and flawless.

“But Sister Qin, this is fair,” Lin Xingchu said softly.
