This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 85: No one is allowed to cooperate with Lu Ran!

Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Lu Ran's voice came through.

"Brother Quan, you must be the legendary top agent, right? You managed to handle such a difficult situation? That was all so natural! And there's even a national-level soprano, Su Qingtang!"

"I, Lu Ran, will never admire anyone but you in this lifetime, Brother Quan. It's my good fortune to have met you as soon as I entered the entertainment industry! It's also Mr. Shen's good fortune to have you signed to the company! With you in Chang'an Entertainment, how can we not become an industry giant!"

Lu Ran's praise poured out like it was free.

Li Quan felt a little smug after hearing this.

His lips curled up, harder to suppress than an AK.

But he remained calm on the surface and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Just follow Brother Quan, and Brother Quan will escort you all the way to the top!"

Lu Ran humbly inquired, "Brother Quan, you didn't run into a scammer, did you?"

"What a joke! How could I possibly encounter a scammer? Do you think I'm that easily fooled? Do you think I wouldn't recognize Shunqi Ziran and Su Qingtang?"

Li Quan's tone was smug.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'll send you the song, and you can start preparing these next few days. I'll let you know once Su Qingtang's schedule is arranged."

Li Quan hung up the phone and sent the document to Lu Ran.

Then he lit a cigarette, and after finishing it, he felt much better.

He calmly made another call to Shen Qingyi.

"Mr. Shen, the matter is settled."

……

In the male dormitory of Qincheng University.

Lu Ran looked at the file he received on WeChat, but didn't even open it.

The source file is on his computer.

Lu Ran felt a little sorry for Li Quan; he had thought that Li Quan's success was due to his own hard work.

"Never mind, let's practice singing!"

Lu Ran has plenty of time these days and wants to devote himself entirely to singing practice.

Star Media.

Fei Lingyun respectfully extended his hand, bowed deeply, and said to the female singer in front of him, "Teacher Cheng, hello, thank you for being my guest performer."

The woman in front of Fei Lingyun was voluptuous, wearing a close-fitting floral dress and high-heeled sandals.

This woman is Cheng Yarui, one of the top singers in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Although she hasn't reached the level of a superstar yet, many people in the Chinese entertainment industry believe she has the potential to become the next superstar.

Unfortunately, Cheng Ya-rui never managed to become a superstar.

Cheng Yarui had a round face and a full figure. Her dress hugged her voluptuous body, and she wore a faint smile. Her only flaw was that she was a little short; even in high heels, she was still much shorter than Fei Lingyun.

After shaking hands lightly with Fei Lingyun, she smiled and said, "We're short on time, let's sing a few songs first."

“Okay, Teacher Cheng,” Fei Lingyun replied with a smile.

Both of them wore smiles on their faces, but their inner thoughts were incredibly complex.

Cheng Yarui internally ranted.

"You want me to be a guest singer for this kind of artist? That's too much of a torture for me. Can he even sing?"

Cheng Ya-rui originally didn't want to take on this kind of job, but since she was a singer under Star Shine Media and needed Guo Wei-cheng to help her ascend to the throne of diva, she had no choice but to help the company promote new talents.

Cheng Yarui is a person who can assess situations and act accordingly.

Fei Lingyun also complained inwardly.

"You promised to find me a diva as a guest performer, but where is the diva? Why is it a top-tier singer instead?"

This is somewhat different from Fei Lingyun's expectations.

Although top-tier singers are also very strong, what he wants is a queen of pop!
How awesome would it be to have a superstar as a guest performer!

While the two were talking, Ren Xin was reporting her work to Guo Weicheng.

It's not that Ren Xin didn't want to connect Fei Lingyun with a top-tier singer; Xingyao Media also has top-tier singers.

She asked several people, but they all said they didn't have time.

They don't really want to participate in this kind of program; they feel it lowers their status.

She's already a superstar, still standing on stage. What can the three mentors possibly comment on?

In the end, they found Cheng Yarui, a top-tier singer who could also be described as a half-step into the realm of a top female singer.

After telling Guo Weicheng about Fei Lingyun's guest performer, Guo Weicheng asked, "Have you found out who Lu Ran's guest performer is?"

Ren Xin shook her head: "I've inquired, and no singer in the industry has received an invitation from Chang'an Entertainment yet."

Guo Weicheng nodded: "That's good. Let me spread the word that anyone in the industry who helps Lu Ran with his singing is going against my Xingyao Media."

Xingyao Media is domineering and arrogant.

Upon hearing this news, no singer in the industry will want to collaborate with Lu Ran again.

"Okay, Mr. Guo." Ren Xin silently left the office.

Time flies by.

It was August 15th.

The sixth episode of Future Singer has officially aired, and this episode covers the second half of the second performance.

Fei Lingyun's performance is in this episode.

After this episode aired, Lu Ran became a trending topic.

Lu Ran didn't perform at all in this episode.

"I can't wait to see Lu Ran's performance, the other singers are really boring!"

"It's alright, we'll be able to see Director Lu from the next episode onwards!"

"Jiang Yaofeng is truly blind! What kind of trash are the players under his command!"

"The next episode will be a live broadcast, so we can see Director Lu's true strength."

"Lu Ran, burn it!"

The other contestants were dumbfounded. You trend on social media when you're performing, and you still trend on social media when you're not.

You definitely bought the trending topics!
But these contestants never considered that if they had performed even slightly better, who would have remembered Lu Ran?

Lu Ran didn't stop either, continuing to focus on preparing for his performance.

He ignored everything else and devoted himself to singing folk songs.

On the evening of August 21st.

Lin Xingchu's class group chat became lively.

Tomorrow is the day of the live broadcast of the third performance of "The Future King of Singers".

Today, almost all the contestants have arrived in Qincheng.

Zhao Long: "When I was eating at a roadside stall downstairs just now, I saw a few people chatting. They kept talking about the Wet Mud Stele. What is this Wet Mud Stele? Is it a famous tourist attraction in Qincheng?"

Wang Jiayue: "Huh? You heard it too? I was having dinner with my agent the other day, and I heard someone talking about the wet mud monument."

Zhao Long: "@Lu Ran, you're from Qincheng, do you know about the wet mud monument?"

Lu Ran: "Wet mud stele is a curse word in Guanzhong dialect, similar to 'fuck you immortal'."

Zhao Long: ...

Wang Jiayue: ...

Other players: ...

Lin Xingchu also chimed in at this point.

How's everyone's preparation going?

After two rounds of competition, eleven out of the eighteen members of Lin Xingchu's class remained.

Jiang Yaofeng's class has twelve students left, with Zhou Hao still in the worst situation, having only eight students left.

Although 31 contestants participated in the third performance, only 20 of them were able to advance to the next round.

The competition was incredibly fierce.

Zhao Long replied: "I'm ready!"

Other contestants also responded one after another, expressing their confidence.

Having come this far, these contestants naturally harbored some resentment.

Even those who appear frail may still harbor a dream of winning the championship.

Lin Xingchu sent Lu Ran a private message.

"How's your song coming along? Is it still an original? Let me give it my feedback."

After seeing this, Lu Ran replied, "Sister Lin, no need. I'll keep you in suspense this time. Just come and hear it at the event."

Lin Xingchu has also been having a tough time lately.

Some negative information about her has inexplicably appeared online.

Although Lin Xingchu's studio has issued a statement in response, these negative rumors have still affected her.

Even ordinary people get angry when they are insulted, let alone when they are attacked and cursed by a bunch of people online.

Lu Ran also saw these comments.

He sent another message to Lin Xingchu.

"I hope this song can offer you some comfort tomorrow."

"Really? It has that effect? ​​Then I'll have to listen carefully."

Lin Xingchu also sent a kitten emoji.

At that moment, Lu Ran's phone received another new message.

He opened it and saw that it was sent by Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi's words were concise and to the point.

"Good luck, I wish you first place!"

There was also a transfer of 1111 yuan.

Rich women are always extraordinary when they make a move.

Lu Ran sent Shen Qingyi a thank you message to the boss, along with a generous emoji, and then accepted the transfer.

Capitalists' money is free money.

Shen Qingyi gave him an impolite emoji.

The next morning, Lu Ran went to the school playground as usual and ran a few laps, then did some other exercises.

He didn't neglect his fitness routine while filming in northern Shaanxi; he worked out in the hotel gym.

Good habits should not be abandoned.

With the start of the new school year approaching, the school is getting busier and busier, and Lu Ran has been recognized many times already.

Finding a place to live outside is also an urgent matter.

After lunch, Li Quan came to pick him up in his nanny van, and the two went to Qincheng TV Station together.

The live broadcast starts at 8 PM, and the afternoon is the contestants' rehearsal time.

As usual, Li Quan ignored the rehearsal and went to connect with other agents.

Only Zhou Ruiyang and his staff, along with director Xu Zi, were present at the rehearsal.

The previous rehearsals went well, but after Lu Ran finished his rehearsal, the staff members had complicated expressions and looked at him with some heartache.

Zhou Ruiyang wanted to say something to Lu Ran, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.

In the end, he simply patted Lu Ran on the shoulder and said "Good luck."

After Lu Ran left, Zhou Ruiyang looked at Xu Zi.

“Lu Ran singing this song at this time is of great significance.”

Xu Zi's eyes flickered, as if she was recalling the past. Upon hearing the voice, she snapped out of her reverie: "Let him sing."
