This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 86 It seems like my role as mentor has been sidelined.

The song that Lu Ran is going to sing was submitted to the program team a few days ago.

As the show progressed into its later stages, both the stage design and presentation improved significantly, and the accompaniment was replaced by a live band performance.

Zhou Ruiyang and Xu Zi had handed over their work to their subordinates, and it was the first time either of them had heard this song.

This song is slightly different in style from the three songs Lu Ran sang before.

The previous three songs were about a sailor setting sail, a dreamer, and a little bird flying high.

But now this song is filled with sorrow.

This reminded Zhou Ruiyang of a line of poetry.

"Drawing a sword to cut water only makes it flow more; raising a cup to drown sorrow only makes it more sorrowful."

The emotions in the song are overflowing.

Throughout the entire competition, only Lu Ran could write this song, and only Lu Ran could sing it with the feeling it evoked.

Zhou Ruiyang smiled and said, "Sing, sing! Once you sing, you won't have to worry anymore."

While the 31 contestants were preparing diligently, the online promotion for "The Future Singer" had already been fully launched.

Some of the promotion was done by the production team, while some was done by the contestants' companies.

This is why variety shows like to invite contestants with connections or backgrounds.

These contestants bring their own resources, and the company can also help promote the show.

The nobody has nothing.

This time, it wasn't just Xingyao Media that was serious; many entertainment companies also put in a lot of effort.

With today's episode concluded, the top 20 finalists of "Future Singer" have been officially selected.

From this moment on, these twenty contestants have already begun to possess commercial value and influence.

Everyone was giving it their all to break into the top 20 nationwide.

Star Media was better prepared.

Even before the show aired, Fei Lingyun had already become a trending topic.

The trending search term is "Fei Lingyun's original work".

Previously, Lu Ran used the name of original works, and this time Fei Lingyun is also using the name of original works.

This way, they can both ride on Lu Ran's popularity and promote themselves.

On Weibo, the fans have also gathered.

"My tickets are ready, what about you, my little clouds?"

"Little clouds, gather up! Once the rankings are announced, immediately push Fei Lingyun to number one!"

"Cheering for the clouds, born for the clouds, with lofty ambitions!"

Looking forward to Fei Lingyun's original songs!

Fans are eagerly anticipating it.

During this period, some activities were underway, and many fans accumulated a lot of popularity votes through these activities.

These popularity votes can be used to boost off-site rankings.

While the other contestants were gearing up, Lu Ran's fans remained relatively quiet.

In a lounge at Qincheng TV Station.

Fei Lingyun ate while looking at her phone.

Seeing the online discussions filled him with joy.

If he can quickly rise to the top of the off-field rankings and maintain that position, it will be very advantageous for him.

Moreover, Lu Ran's fans are clearly not united now, and their momentum is much weaker than before.

This is the difference between ordinary fans and fandom fans.

Lu Ran's fans were all shouting loudly before, but when the time actually came, they disappeared.

Fans in the fandom really get things done.

Some fans create more than a dozen accounts to forward, comment, like, and generate data for their idols, creating a massive online buzz all by themselves.

This is why the fan base of online celebrities can appear to be huge, as if there are many people.

In fact, if a celebrity has five hundred fans who are willing to focus on data analysis, their online influence is already comparable to that of a top influencer.

Although Fei Lingyun isn't that powerful yet, and most of them are just online trolls hired by the company, their influence is still huge.

Fei Lingyun's agent also said from the side, "You don't need to worry about anything tonight. Just focus on making sure your stage performance is good. As long as your stage performance is fine, all the first place will be yours."

The company has a lot of confidence in Fei Lingyun's original song.

This song was purchased by the company at a high price.

"I see."

Fei Lingyun was also full of confidence.

……

Around 7 p.m., the audience began to enter the venue one after another, and the members of the public jury also entered the venue one after another.

Musician Hu Nengkai remains on the public jury.

After he sat down, he looked around and spotted many familiar faces.

Without exception, these people are all internet celebrities, content creators, and music teachers in music-related topics.

Hu Nengkai does know the reason.

After the incident blew up last time, the members of the public jury conducted a new review, which involved video interviews and on-site questioning.

Only those who pass the review can serve as public judges.

This way, at least the people sitting in the audience jury seats are music-related individuals, or at least music lovers; not just anyone can sit there. Coffee Sister and Miley's are nowhere to be seen.

Hu Nengkai greeted a few acquaintances, and the people around him started chatting.

"Have you all listened to the demo of Fei Lingyun's song? I asked a friend of mine, and he's heard the whole song and said it's really good."

"Lu Ran's appearance has indeed brought benefits, at least making singers pay attention to original songwriting ability."

"Today's match is going to be very interesting."

“I’m quite curious about Lu Ran’s work. He’s going to sing a folk song on this stage, and I’m worried about him.”

Everyone here is a music lover, and we all come to the show hoping to hear some good music.

Everyone wants to hear Lu Ran's new song, but they also don't want Lu Ran to be eliminated because he sings folk songs.

Folk songs are really at a disadvantage on this stage.

Hu Nengkai laughed and said, "My opinion is different from everyone else's. Lu Ran is a talented singer-songwriter. The song 'I Am a Little Bird,' especially the guitar version, was created by him in adversity. Compared to the original version, I prefer the guitar version."

Everyone nodded slightly.

There are indeed obvious differences between the two versions of Lu Ran's "I Am a Little Bird", and this difference stems from his experience.

Hu Nengkai continued, "Throughout history, countless classic works have been created by creators in adversity. Li Bai was banished from Chang'an by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and wrote 'There will be times when the wind will break the waves and I will set sail to cross the vast sea.' Yu Qian was falsely accused and wrote 'I am not afraid of being crushed to pieces, but only want to leave my integrity in the world.' Su Shi was exiled and wrote the famous line 'May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart.'"

Lu Ran is the kind of person who should be constantly in adversity. That way, he can create excellent works. Last time was a period of adversity, and I have reason to believe that this time he will bring us a different kind of work, a wonderful one.

Hu Nengkai paused for a moment, then continued, "If he could get away with this again, the next performance would definitely be even more spectacular."

The people around were stunned.

Hu Nengkai, you're a real devil!

You actually want to build your happiness on other people's suffering!

But for some reason, people felt that what Hu Nengkai said made a lot of sense.

A comfortable life cannot produce great works!

Creators like Lu Ran deserve to experience setbacks!
Write a song after every setback!

perfect!

At this moment, Lu Ran and the other contestants from his class were in a small room receiving Lin Xingchu's pre-match speech.

Lu Ran felt an itch in his nose, as if he was about to sneeze.

Lin Xingchu stood in front of the group of students. Today, she was wearing a velvet fishtail dress that hugged her shapely figure and accentuated her femininity.

In terms of charm, Lin Xingchu is second to none.

Although singing ability has nothing to do with appearance, it must be admitted that no singer who has reached the top of the music scene is unattractive.

Lin Xingchu smiled and said, "From the class division assessment to the current third public performance, I have watched everyone come this far. I have seen all your efforts. No matter what the final result is, we must present a good stage to the audience. Just like Lu Ran said, if it doesn't work out, we can start over."

The more Lin Xingchu spoke, the more she felt something was wrong; it seemed the more she encouraged everyone, the less confident they became.

She really doesn't know how to say things like that!
Lin Xingchu spotted Lu Ran in the crowd.

"Lu Ran, you're usually so good at talking, why don't you say a few words to everyone?" Lin Xingchu called on him directly.

Lu Ran did not refuse and walked straight to Lin Xingchu's side, facing all the contestants.

He raised his right hand high, his palm clenched into a fist.

"classmates!"

His powerful voice drew everyone's attention.

The whole group of people were stunned.

Damn it?

What do you want to do?

"Teacher Lin just said to start over, but I don't think that's appropriate here! We're standing here today not to see who's more afraid of losing, but who deserves to win!"

"More than a month has passed since July. Think about it, what are we standing on this stage for?"

"Is it for fame? Or for profit? Or for your dreams as singers? Or simply to sing your own voice to the audience?"

"Think about your original aspirations! If you're already afraid now, are you willing to accept that? If you're scared now, will you regret it later?"

"I know some people are worried about being eliminated, but everyone remember that the ultimate measure of artistic achievement is the vitality of the work. Even if you fail temporarily, as long as your songs touch the hearts of the audience, your works will eventually grow into towering trees on your life's journey!"

"Class, do you have confidence?!"

Lu Ran looked excited, and the group of contestants below the stage also felt their blood boiling.

The tension, unease, anxiety, and restlessness in my heart were all suppressed.

Lu Ran immediately used his Infectious Talent.

After hearing those words, not only the contestants, but even Lin Xingchu wanted to go up and sing a song.

Zhao Long also raised his right fist and shouted, "I have confidence!"

Lu Ran swept his stern gaze over the contestant: "Speak louder, I can't hear you! Do you even have confidence?"

At that moment, everyone shouted in unison, "We have confidence!"

Lin Xingchu was stunned.

Is this a pre-battle mobilization meeting?
Is this how you encourage someone?

Lin Xingchu clapped her hands happily: "I'm relieved to see that everyone is confident. Let's go to the lounge and get ready."

After he finished speaking, the contestants remained silent and all looked at Lu Ran.
