This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 80 The Chinese people do not believe in fate!
I feel more than just at ease; I feel extremely at ease.

Li Quan didn't know what words to use to describe Lu Ran.

This person has gone too far down the path of positive energy, becoming somewhat out of step with ordinary people.

If things continue like this, and one day paparazzi expose something bad he did online, netizens probably won't believe it.

"Won't other celebrities' scandals be about sleeping with fans, soliciting prostitutes, or evading taxes, but Lu Ran's scandal is about corruption?"

Li Quan dared not think about it.

What if Lu Ran suddenly decides to take the civil service exam?

However, the airing of "I Am a Little Bird" has indeed brought a huge boost to Lu Ran's popularity.

Three consecutive inspirational original songs propelled Lu Ran's Weibo followers to over 600,000, generating a massive online buzz.

As the hype grows, things will definitely get better and better.

The only pity is that the off-site voting ranking will not start until the third public performance live broadcast. If it were to start directly at that time, Lu Ran would definitely be able to take the lead and win the top spot.

At that moment, Li Quan received a call from Xu Zi.

He quickly answered the call.

Xu Zi's mature, slightly magnetic voice came through.

"Mr. Li, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to you too," Li Quan said with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Zi got straight to the point.

"Juzi Video stated that it will no longer interfere with Lu Ran's performance."

Li Quan was startled, followed by a surge of joy.

In this day and age, online streaming platforms for variety shows wield enormous power.

For example, variety show videos need to be uploaded to online streaming platforms, and then the platforms show them to the audience.

Some platforms even take it upon themselves to cut out footage of certain celebrities.

You did a good job?

It's okay, as long as the audience can't see your performance, no one will know that you did a good job.

Did you perform poorly in some area?

That's perfect, let's just show your part to the audience and let them criticize you.

Anyway, they have plenty of ways to mess with you.

With Xu Zi carrying the show, Lu Ran became famous before Orange Video even had a chance to cut his scenes.

If they really wanted to annoy Lu Ran during the live broadcast of the third public performance, they had ways to do so.

However, these are not things that Li Quan should be considering.

Since Orange Video isn't interfering, the rest is much easier.

"Thank you very much, Director Xu," Li Quan said gratefully.

Xu Zi smiled and said, "No need to thank me. It's mainly because Lu Ran is too outstanding. The sponsors don't want anything to happen to him. You are truly an extraordinary artist."

Li Quan was on guard, sensing that Xu Zi's tone of voice was somewhat different today.

It implies a degree of appreciation.

Could it be that the director has taken a liking to Lu Ran and wants him to sleep with him?

This can't be done!
There are also sponsors. What if a sponsor also wants Lu Ran to sleep with them?

Li Quan immediately tensed up. These were people he couldn't contend with, and he couldn't protect Lu Ran!

He pretended to be very happy and said, "This child is a bit unusual. He works very hard every day, but he is a bit stubborn and very upright. That's a good thing. Uprightness is good. Uprightness won't lead to ruin."

Xu Zi looked completely confused, as if to say, "What are you talking about?"

How did this turn into a discussion about integrity?
After chatting for a few minutes, Li Quan hung up the phone.

"More and more people are eyeing Lu Ran!"

Li Quan was very worried. He had just hinted at Xu Zi and Lu Ran's personalities and suggested that they give up the unrealistic idea of ​​serving him in bed.

But it's hard to say for sure.

There are a lot of bad people in this circle.

What if Lu Ran can't resist the temptation and wants to try seafood in the future? After all, Lu Ran is still a young and impetuous man.

Li Quan called Shen Qingyi again.

He expressed his concerns.

Shen Qingyi spoke sternly this time: "You must keep a close eye on this matter. Lu Ran can date, but the other person's background must be spotless, their character must be good, and they cannot affect Lu Ran's career. You can convey my attitude to Lu Ran."

"Yes, Mr. Shen!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Quan frowned and pondered.

"Love is indeed a big issue; who you love is very important!"

Lu Ran is clearly aiming for the top spot.

If you encounter an unreliable romantic partner, then there will be big problems.

What if the woman is of bad character and makes a false accusation? Lu Ran's career would be ruined.

"We should remind Lu Ran."

Li Quan didn't rush to speak.

Today was the last scene filmed for "Ode to the Desert," after which the short film will be completed.

We can talk about it after filming is finished. The group is currently in a square in the village, with a high platform in front of them.

This scene depicts a mobilization meeting convened by Ma Tieshan.

He mobilized the entire village to work with him to control desertification and plant fruit trees.

Some of the extras were directly recruited from villagers or crew members.

Wang Peng and Ning Sirou were also in the crowd.

Liu Dayong held a megaphone and kept shouting.

"Move to the left a little, and stop laughing. What's so funny?"

"What's going on with that sheep? How did it get in here? Get it away right now!"

After everything was arranged, Liu Dayong went to Lu Ran's place.

Lu Ran was wearing tattered clothes and sitting in a chair.

"How did it go?" Liu Dayong asked.

"No problem." Lu Ran said easily.

The upcoming performance is a major highlight, and he has already rehearsed it in his mind many times.

Liu Dayong nodded, said nothing more, and immediately shouted through the megaphone, "Ready to start!"

Lu Ran also stood up.

As the script supervisor slammed the clapperboard, the scene officially began!
Lu Ran stood on the high platform, clutching a handful of yellow soil in his hand.

The fan on the props side blew up the corner of his clothes.

At this moment, Lu Ran put himself into the role of Ma Tieshan.

The crowd below the stage looked at him with confusion and bewilderment on their faces.

"Fellow villagers! I know what you're thinking! You think Ma Tieshan is crazy! Growing apples in the sandy desert, isn't that just being a madman!"

He tossed the yellow soil in his hand into the air, his eyes already reddening.

The wind blew the loess soil into the air.

"But look up! How many years has the Loess Plateau been battered by the wind? Generation after generation, they've knelt and eaten sand, and babies are born with a mouthful of yellow water! The Loess Plateau can't stay yellow forever; it has to turn green one day. People can't stay poor here forever!"

These are the words that Ma Tieshan's father once told him.

Now, Ma Tieshan told the villagers the story again.

Chinese people do not believe in fate!
Chinese people never give up!
The villagers in the audience were also moved by what they heard.

At this moment, a villager shouted, "But we've never planted fruit trees before!"

Lu Ran shouted, "Back then, the Red Army dared to march 25,000 li with only straw sandals in their hands, and we can't even tend to a single fruit tree?!"

"The experts said that the temperature difference between day and night is large here. As long as the sandy soil problem is solved, the apples will definitely be sweet. The county has promised to guarantee sales. If you can't sell the apples, I, Ma Tieshan, will sell everything I own to make money for you!"

He grabbed the shovel beside him and shoveled it hard into the yellow earth, veins bulging on his forehead.

The set of movements was very powerful.

"I'll be the first to stake everything I own! Anyone who's willing, come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dayong shouted, "Crack!"

Liu Dayong was very satisfied.

In the scene just now, Lu Ran's physical tension, lines, and expressions were all very well done.

A few lines of dialogue were enough to stir up the anger in his heart.

Not to mention the actual effect in the short film after post-production.

"I have a feeling this short film will go viral."

Liu Dayong was filled with excitement.

"Save one more!"

After a while, a new take was filmed.

Lu Ran came down from the platform, and Li Quan handed him a bottle of mineral water.

Just then, Liu Dayong shouted, "Alright, we've wrapped up filming for this short film!"

When the crew shouted "Filming wrapped," everyone cheered.

The filming of this short film took only a week, but it was still very tiring.

It's August now, and filming on the Loess Plateau under the blazing sun feels quite different.

Lu Ran got tanned, and because the sun was so bright, he kept squinting, which caused some crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

Lu Ran didn't care; that's what makes it seem real.

At this moment, Lu Ran heard a system notification.

"Congratulations, host, on completing your first positive role creation. You have gained 30 acting experience points and the song 'Love the Green Mountains, Love the Green Waters, Love the Blue Sky'."

"Experience points have been automatically added. The host can view the songs in the inventory."

Lu Ran was secretly delighted.

There are rewards for completing the positive role model role!

However, Lu Ran couldn't be sure about the nature of the system's random rewards.

I don't think I've ever heard of this song before.
