This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 84 Li Quan: My life has entered an easy mode!
The assistant was somewhat surprised.

Is it necessary to see this?

“It’s no trouble to take a look,” Su Qingtang said gently.

She already knew the answer in her heart.

Lu Ran's manager invited her to be Lu Ran's guest performer.

I wonder if Lu Ran's agent knows that Lu Ran is actually just letting things take their course.

"Ok."

The assistant took out his phone and sent the file to Su Qingtang.

Su Qingtang placed the water glass on the table and picked up her phone to check it.

When she saw the lyrics, her pupils contracted sharply for a moment, then returned to normal.

Su Qingtang was also shocked by the content of the song.

Before long, she finished browsing the lyrics and then opened the song demo.

The song demo begins to play.

"A piece of jade represents China, a tile roof forms a home."

Everyone says the country is vast, but it's really just one family.

Su Qingtang's eyes showed surprise.

Another patriotic song!

And it's a patriotic song!
Of course, what surprised her most was the song's excellent quality.

Good songs are rare, let alone songs like this.

Taking action naturally is truly extraordinary!
"Isn't this a bit wasteful?"

The same thought popped into Su Qingtang's mind.

How could a talent show like "Future Singer" be worthy of this song!

After this song is performed, how can the other contestants compete?

But then Su Qingtang thought of Lu Ran's previous situation.

This group of people have no martial ethics, so don't blame Lu Ran for having no martial ethics either.

Beside her, the assistant waited quietly for Su Qingtang's reply.

She was also observing Su Qingtang's expression, from initial surprise to eventual contemplation. It seemed that this matter was not as simple as she had imagined.

Suddenly, Su Qingtang's voice rang out.

"Xiao Zhang, please talk to this agent about the schedule and arrange my subsequent work to make time for the guest performer."

The assistant suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with shock.

"Teacher Su, are you going to help out with the singing?"

Her heart was pounding.

Su Qingtang is actually going to be a guest performer on a talent show; this is definitely big news that will go viral!

This will elevate the entire program to another level.

Su Qingtang smiled gently: "The song he sent was indeed written naturally. Okay, you can go and prepare now."

The assistant immediately asked, "How much should it cost?"

The assistant didn't know what to do either.

Su Qingtang does have an appearance fee, but she has never participated in a variety show in the entertainment industry, so she has no reference and no one knows how much the appearance fee is.

Su Qingtang smiled slightly: "We don't need to talk about money first. Wait for my notification."

The assistant nodded and left the office.

After her assistant left, Su Qingtang immediately picked up her phone and called Lu Ran.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Teacher Lu, did you write the name of the country?"

Su Qingtang asked softly, wanting to confirm again.

Lu Ran is currently practicing sign language in his dormitory.

"I wrote it. Did my agent go to see you?"

After Su Qingtang confirmed it, the corners of her mouth curled up.

She had no objection to singing with Lu Ran.

Never been on a variety show?
That depends on who invites you.

If Lu Ran invited her, she would accept without hesitation.

"I've already had my assistant reply to your manager. I'll be your guest performer."

"Thank you so much, Teacher Su!"

Lu Ran thought for a moment, then asked the question anyway.

How much is your appearance fee?

He doesn't really understand the market.

Calling someone to sing with him would definitely cost some money. He felt that his relationship with Su Qingtang wasn't at the point where he could get something for free; he could only offer her a discounted price.

Su Qingtang said softly, "If it's someone else, there's a charge; if it's you..."

She paused.

"free."

Su Qingtang was clearly in a good mood.

Lu Ran, however, said righteously and sternly, "Free is not an option. As the saying goes, what's free is often the most expensive. You don't have any hidden terms and conditions, do you?"

Su Qingtang was speechless.

Why would I, a national-level soprano singer, lie to you?

Aren't you being overly cautious?

"There are no hidden terms, and I don't want a single penny. I'll even pay for my own travel expenses. Do you still want me to be your guest performer?"

"Of course I would like to. Here's what I'll do, Ms. Su: I'll give you the stage performance rights for this song for free. You can sing it as much as you want for the next five years."

Lu Ran is a respectable person.

Interpersonal relationships require give and take.

If someone says it's free, and you actually do it for free, then it's meaningless.

I, Lu Ran, am upright and honest, and I would never take advantage of someone else!

Lu Ran's offer did indeed tempt Su Qingtang. The song "The Nation" would inevitably be performed in many shows, and if she could perform it for free, the benefits would be numerous.

"I can't refuse what you're saying," Su Qingtang said with a smile.

In reality, this song doesn't earn much money from commercial performances.

The song is too special; the stage that needs this song is destined not to be a stage with a strong commercial focus.

If we can invite Su Qingtang to the stage, then there will be even fewer opportunities.

Lu Ran and Su Qingtang both understood this, and given their current relationship, there was no need to say it aloud.

The two then talked about some things related to the song.

Since it's a duet, the two singers definitely have to rehearse together; it's impossible for them to wait until the day of the live broadcast to sing together.

But it's too early to send Su Qingtang to Qincheng now.

The two people practice their own parts first, and then rehearse together later, which improves efficiency.

Both of them are professional singers, so this kind of thing was naturally a piece of cake for them.

Su Qingtang suggested, "Teacher Lu, I have a suggestion you can consider."

"please say."

"I want to keep my face hidden when I'm performing as a guest singer. For example, I could design a curtain on stage, sing from behind it, and then reappear after the voting is over. This way, the audience won't know my identity at first, and the voting will be fairer. It will also prevent haters from using this to smear me later. This way, I can save face and maintain my reputation," Su Qingtang said thoughtfully.

Lu Ran thought it made sense after listening.

He took Su Qingtang directly onto the stage, and then he knew that a lot of haters would say that he won because of Su Qingtang's popularity, and that his victory was not honorable.

By not revealing their identities in the first place, they can eliminate the problem at its root.

"Jiang Yaofeng can't comment on the songs anymore, so will he comment on my and Teacher Su's singing skills? After he finishes commenting on Teacher Su's singing skills, Teacher Su will appear again. Oh my, that's interesting."

Lu Ran found the thought of that scene exciting.

Moreover, Su Qingtang is not in the entertainment industry, and her voice is hard for people to associate with her.

It has to be said that older women really know how to take care of people.

Lin Xingchu helped him confront the public jury.

Su Qingtang also considered the reactions of his haters.

All Wang Jiayue could do was shout "Go, brother!"

Lu Ran said, "Indeed, this would be fairer, I think it's acceptable."

"Okay, that's it."

After they finished talking, the two hung up the phone.

On the other side, Li Quan was kneeling on the ground, his fingers constantly tapping on the keyboard of his mobile phone screen.

He was about to pick up a pen that had fallen from the table onto the floor.

The phone rang as soon as I knelt down.

The message was sent by Su Qingtang's assistant.

Li Quan's face was filled with surprise and delight.

Su Qingtang agreed!

I agreed so easily!
Li Quan couldn't believe it; he had been talking to the assistant for over ten minutes.

He repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the matter.

Lu Ran, fourth performance, guest singer Su Qingtang!
This is news that could ignite the entire entertainment industry!
At this moment, Su Qingtang's assistant sent a message.

"Mr. Li, you don't need to ask anymore. Teacher Su has already confirmed that she will be Lu Ran's guest performer for the fourth public performance."

Although the assistant also felt that this was too outrageous, he couldn't figure out why no matter how hard he thought about it, so he could only attribute the reason to the song "Let Nature Take Its Course".

This song, "The Nation," was indeed enough to move Su Qingtang's heart.

"Mr. Li, let's discuss some details."

Li Quan excitedly used his knees to push himself up and stood up.

He was completely unaware that his knees were aching.

"Who else! Who else! Who else!"

Li Quan was excitedly shouting and yelling in the room!
He actually managed to get it done!
Li Quan forcibly suppressed his excitement and continued communicating with his assistant.

He knew that inviting Su Qingtang to appear would be an astronomical price.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, President Shen said he'd spend whatever it takes, so this money is well spent!
However, when Su Qingtang's assistant said that he didn't need any money and only needed to take care of Su Qingtang's accommodation and transportation after arriving in Qincheng, Li Quan was still so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Hiring someone to sing along is the bare minimum; providing accommodation and transportation is the minimum requirement, including a private car and a five-star hotel.

Actually, we should also take responsibility for their meals; we should just pay them according to their daily meal allowance.

Su Qingtang is now even saving him food.

"What's going on? Am I, Li Quan, really that charming? Has my life suddenly entered an easy mode?"

Li Quan discovered that his life had changed completely ever since he sent Lu Ran to the show "Future Singer King".

"What's going on?" Li Quan asked.

"That's right, Teacher Su has already talked to Teacher Shunqiziran. Actually, this song was originally written by Teacher Shunqiziran for Teacher Su, and Lu Ran is just here to help sing it," the assistant replied.

This is the explanation that Lu Ran and Su Qingtang came up with together, and it's the explanation they gave to Li Quan.

Li Quan suddenly realized.

It turns out he was the one who benefited.

The two big shots had already made arrangements in private.

No wonder Shunqiziran didn't talk to him about money.

Li Quan had discussed the details and timeline of the cooperation with his assistant, and they were just waiting for the contract to be prepared so that both parties could sign it.

He chatted with Zhou Ruiyang again, asking about the money for buying the song.

Lu Ran didn't try to save the money; he just took whatever amount was due, since it was going into his own pocket anyway.

Given his current status as a natural person, the price of this song will not be low.

Finally, the song was licensed to Chang'an Entertainment for 600,000 yuan, with the payment going through Zhou Ruiyang.

After finishing all that, Li Quan jumped around the room like a monkey.

After calming down, he cleared his throat, regained his deep and wise demeanor, and made a phone call to Lu Ran.

After the call connected, Li Quan said calmly, "Lu Ran, everything is settled. Your guest performer for the fourth public performance is Su Qingtang, and the song she will be singing is a song personally composed by teacher Shunqi Ziran."

After speaking, Li Quan waited quietly for Lu Ran's praise.
