This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 79 Always keep three key points in mind!

This comment resonated with many netizens.

It's a fact that the entertainment industry is getting worse every day.

A talent show has caused a whole host of problems.

Although the official explanation was that the public jury had issues with their professionalism, netizens aren't stupid; one or two problems can generate buzz.

Several problems arose, indicating that someone was targeting Lu Ran.

They just wanted to eliminate Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's words before leaving the stage resonated with the audience.

In this industry, many people have forgotten what they are supposed to do.

In an effort to gain popularity, some variety shows will stop at nothing, with the attitude that even negative publicity is acceptable.

From the very beginning, various plot points that challenge the audience's values ​​and beliefs are presented.

Traffic, popularity, etc.

Only a small group of people are still thinking about quality.

Lu Ran is different.

Whether he is on a singing stage or a performance stage, he always lives by his words.

Practice what you preach, and be strict with yourself.

Just then, the Future King of Singers program team also posted a Weibo post.

The Weibo post introduced the rules for the subsequent competition, including the off-site voting rule.

The rules for off-site voting are as follows: the voting channel for off-site viewers will be opened after the live broadcast of the program begins, and will be closed when all contestants have finished their performances and the final ranking stage has begun.

All candidates have the same voting time.

Viewers can vote through Orange Video. Non-members have two votes, while members have four votes.

In addition, you can also participate in activities on the sponsor's app to obtain extra votes.

It's worth mentioning that the sponsor is a shopping website that allows users to make purchases to support the event.

The rules immediately caused a huge uproar online upon their release.

Fans from all walks of life are eager to vote for their idols.

Lu Ran's fans were also tempted.

"Brothers, every single one of you has to vote to boost Director Lu's vote count!"

"I'm not going to say anything more. Just based on what Lu Ran said today, I'm going all in on Lu Ran."

"I support Director Lu as the leader!"

"If Director Lu doesn't advance, we'll all be guilty!"

After watching today's program, the audience's hearts are also burning brightly.

Lu Ran is a little bird, but he has an audience!

He puts the audience in his heart, and the audience will lift him up.

This is a massive relief effort!

In other words, the charts for "The Future Singer" haven't been opened yet, otherwise Lu Ran's votes would definitely skyrocket.

To everyone's surprise, the impact of this incident is far from over.

The next morning, several special media outlets published articles one after another.

Specialized media outlets cannot react as quickly as independent media and private media organizations.

But their influence is different.

Many of their statements have a significant social impact, whether good or bad.

This time, they stood behind Lu Ran.

"Art and literature are the clarion call of the times, best representing the spirit of an era." Lu Ran's speech on stage revealed the responsibility and commitment of artists. The vitality of artistic creation lies in the people's recognition. We look forward to more young people like Lu Ran, using their works as an answer to sing the praises of our times.

"Lu Ran's speech on the program was thought-provoking: 'Ultimately, artistic achievements should be measured by the works themselves, and so should the value of a person's life.' Whether it's his dedication on stage or his acting in film and television, he consistently proves through his actions that only creations that resonate with the masses can withstand the test of time. This is what a young idol should be like!"

"The standards for artistic evaluation must never be divorced from the people." Lu Ran, amidst controversy, took to the stage a second time, performing "I Am a Little Bird" on guitar to interpret the question: "Which is more important, the pressure of life or the dignity of life?" His speech and work are a vivid practice of "art serving the people." A salute to every artist who remains true to their original aspirations!

"Flying higher is not a personal honor, but an answer to the times." Lu Ran sings of the struggles of ordinary people in "I Am a Little Bird," without hype or impetuosity, letting his work speak for itself—this is the kind of young person we need!

As more and more content was published across the internet, Lu Ran's influence continued to expand.

Lu Ran's fans were stunned.

"Director Lu, I was just joking when I called you Director Lu, don't actually join the ministry!"

"Director Lu, you've climbed too high!"

"At least Director Lu has finally been seen."

After these media outlets praised it, other media outlets also began to follow suit and capitalize on the trend.

The terms "youth idol" and "role model" were used.

Just follow along, you can't go wrong!
Lu Ran's popularity exploded at this moment, soaring to the top of the trending searches.

……

Qincheng TV Station.

Xu Zi, still dressed in a business suit, was talking with several people in the conference room. Among them were Cai Zhenhai, the director of Qincheng TV, Du Jie, the head of Orange Video, and representatives from several sponsors.

Everyone in the conference room wore a smile.

For them, the most important thing about Lu Ran's situation is whether it can be resolved smoothly.

Fortunately, things settled down smoothly after the show aired.

The public jury members took all the blame.

Not only that, Lu Ran's performance had an unexpected effect, making this episode unusually popular.

Du Jie, beaming, said, "Last night, the viewership data for 'Future King of Singers' on Orange Video was the highest since the show started airing, and it's also the most-watched variety show on Orange Video so far."

Not to mention Du Jie, the sponsors were all smiles.

Whether a program is well-received or not is directly reflected in their data.

"Starting from this episode, we can say that the Future Singer program has been a success!" Du Jie said happily.

Cai Zhenhai didn't mention any TV station ratings data, as there was really no need to.

"The Future Singer" became the number one program in viewership on Qincheng TV after it aired.

These days, fewer and fewer people watch TV, so this data is no longer very relevant.

The atmosphere in the conference room was cheerful and harmonious.

Xu Zi waited quietly for everyone to finish speaking, and then slowly said, "If Lu Ran is eliminated, it will have a huge impact on our show."

According to data from various platforms, Lu Ran's relevance to the "Future Singer" topic is over 90%, meaning Lu Ran contributed the majority of the buzz surrounding this season's "Future Singer."

Finally, Xu Zi looked at Du Jie and said, "Mr. Du, you don't want the future King of Singers' viewership to be halved, do you?"

Du Jie was taken aback, realizing that Xu Zi was reminding him.

But times have changed.

Xu Zi is now the director of the number one talent show in China.

Du Jie said angrily, "We must strictly review and standardize all aspects of the program to prevent such shady incidents from happening again!"

Du Jie spoke with righteous indignation.

This isn't a lie; it's what he truly felt.

What value does an artist who comes from a flop talent show have, even if they win the championship?
Lu Ran was able to boost the show's popularity.

As for who will ultimately win, that depends on the abilities of each company.

Xu Zi understood Du Jie's meaning. From now on, Orange Video would no longer interfere with any actions concerning Lu Ran and would provide support to a certain extent.

The next battleground will be a competition between the companies and the contestants.

To some extent, this is a good thing for Lu Ran.

This is also a good thing for the fairness of the entire program.

At least the referee isn't leaving the field.

……

Inside the karaoke room at Xingyao Media.

Fei Lingyun and the others scrolled through their phones, watching the online discussions, their hearts filled with twisted envy.

Lu Ran has only been famous in the entertainment industry for a short time, and he has already been praised by the media.

Youth idols and role models, indeed!
Who are we setting an example for? We're setting an example for them!
How come, as the talent show progresses, the contestants next to you become role models?

Chen Yinan comforted him, "What's there to be angry about? Let whoever wants to be this role model be it. The higher Lu Ran puts himself up now, the more likely he is to run into trouble. I don't believe he won't run into trouble!"

Fei Lingyun's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes.

Which celebrity can guarantee they'll never make a mistake in their entire life?

Lu Ran's image is such that even a slight mistake could cause his reputation to collapse.

For example, cutting in line is a small matter for other celebrities, but it's a big deal for him.

Because you're our role model.

And things like smoking in public places.

The paparazzi are watching closely.

As a role model, your expectations are naturally higher than others.

"I refuse to believe he won't make a mistake!" Fei Lingyun's hope was rekindled.

……

"Lu Ran, remember this: you are now a role model. Every move you make is being watched. You must not make any mistakes, not a single mistake!"

On set, Li Quan spoke to Lu Ran in a serious and earnest manner.

Lu Ran said firmly, “Brother Quan, don’t worry. I always keep three things in mind. First, political awareness. The works of artists are the answer sheet. They must be able to withstand the scrutiny of the masses, both on and off stage. Second, exemplary awareness. Since I am called an example, I must be like the saxaul tree in this sandy land. Only with firm roots can I stand tall. Third, bottom-line awareness. I will not go where I should not go, and I will not cross the line that I should not cross. If I don’t even have this awareness, how can I talk about art serving the people?”

Li Quan frowned as he listened.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Go ahead and get busy. I trust you completely."
