This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 97 No way? Lu Ran's guest performer is Su Qingtang.

Shen Qingyi didn't want Lu Ran to form any romantic pairings with female celebrities in the industry.

Forming couples is popular in the entertainment industry now.

Especially in film and television dramas, a couple is formed for each film, and the male and female leads promote the film together during the publicity period.

The most awkward thing is that sometimes the male and female protagonists' families are even rival families.

They played the male and female leads in the drama and acted out romantic scenes, but after the show aired, they didn't even want to give each other a second glance.

In another scenario, the male and female leads are a couple in one drama, but when filming the next drama, they each form a couple with other male and female leads. While filming one drama, they also have to promote the drama that is about to be released, essentially being in two couples at the same time.

It wasn't that Shen Qingyi was arrogant; it was just that she felt Lu Ran's abilities made it completely unnecessary for him to do such a thing.

Lu Ran gained popularity based on his personal abilities.

Even if the person paired with Lu Ran is a top-tier actress.

"Forget it, it's done."

Shen Qingyi had no choice but to give up.

The main point is that this wasn't marketed, but rather promoted spontaneously by netizens.

In this situation, it's impossible not to make people think in this direction.

The relationship between Ma Tieshan and Li Chunxing in the film is indeed very enviable.

She really didn't expect that a movie like this could create a couple.

It's incredibly popular!
Eating everything will only kill you!
Shen Qingyi's gaze fell on the pile of invitation documents on the table.

She opened them and examined each one carefully, giving them a thorough evaluation.

However, she will not give Lu Ran the choice; the final decision will still be left to Lu Ran.

After the fourth performance, she planned to sign a contract with Lu Ran.

The Burning Studio was also officially established.

The announcement of the studio's establishment before the finals was intended to deter other companies in the entertainment industry from pursuing their own agendas.

Lu Ran is mine!

……

Xingyao Media's side.

Fei Lingyun looked at the various discussions about Lu Ran online, her mind filled with questions.

He really wanted to ask, is this reasonable?

Tomorrow night will be the live broadcast of the fourth performance.

The day before, Lu Ran had generated such a huge buzz, so his votes on the off-site popularity charts must have been even higher.

The off-site popularity ranking is all about popularity.

Lu Ran's actual popularity is much higher than his.

That's cheating!

Fei Lingyun gritted her teeth, feeling that she had been cheated on.

He really wanted to ask, is this fair?

Finally, Fei Lingyun mustered up her courage and sent a message to her agent.

"Why doesn't the company give me acting roles? Look how popular Lu Ran has become because of acting."

The agent is also feeling irritable today.

Even large companies like Xingyao Media have KPIs for their agents.

As a result, Fei Lingyun failed to live up to expectations, causing her to lose face in front of the boss.

The agent was so angry when he saw the message that he burst out laughing.

"If I accept the role for you, would you dare to act in it?"

Fei Lingyun immediately backed down after seeing this sentence.

"I can not."

What can he act in? He can't act at all.

The agent snapped, "Shut up if you're scared!"

Fei Lingyun dared not speak.

The agent is still in a state of utter chaos.

To be honest, she thought it was a bit outrageous.

A college student majoring in mechanical automation at Qincheng University, who had not received any professional training before, demonstrated superb skills in singing and performing.

This person was simply born for the entertainment industry.

How did they end up running into people like that?

Their only advantage now is that they can eliminate Lu Ran in the fourth performance.

The format of having guest performers is tailor-made for big companies.

With the help of powerful guest performers, they overcame all obstacles.

"I don't believe that the combination of Cheng Yarui and Lian Xinghan can lose. They can write good songs naturally, but Lu Ran can't find a suitable guest singer."

The agent has been inquiring about the situation these past few days.

She had already used all her connections in the entertainment industry, but still couldn't find out who Lu Ran's guest performer was.

That only means that Lu Ran's guest performer wasn't from the entertainment industry.

If he's not in the entertainment industry, then he's most likely an ordinary person.

Ordinary people are nothing to fear.

"Eliminate him! This time, we must eliminate Lu Ran!"

Fei Lingyun's agent also understood that this was their last chance.

If we can't eliminate Lu Ran this time, then Lu Ran will be far ahead in the finals.

No one can control him!

The agent picked up his phone and started discussing the matter with the agents of several other top players.

They must find a way to sweep all the top ten spots.

……

After lunch, Li Quan arrived at Wutongyuan in his nanny van.

Lu Ran was also ready.

The two went directly to Qincheng TV Station by car.

Tomorrow is the rehearsal day. The reason the two of them came to Qincheng TV Station today is because Su Qingtang has already arrived in Qincheng.

On the bus, Li Quan exclaimed, "Teacher Su is so kind. She only told me she had arrived after she had finished eating, and didn't even give me a chance to welcome her."

"What did she say?" Lu Ran asked.

“She said there was no need for dinner, and that she should first prepare the program with Teacher Lu,” Li Quan said.

After saying that, Li Quan sighed, "Look at him, he's so polite. He just calls you Lu Ran, and he even calls you Teacher Lu. He's much better than some people." Lu Ran nodded, "Indeed."

The van drove directly into the underground parking lot of a five-star hotel, and Su Qingtang and her assistant got in.

Su Qingtang was wearing sunglasses, her hair was tied up, and she was wearing a light-colored sun-protective shirt over a short-sleeved shirt and black pants.

Her outfit looked understated and simple, making it hard to associate her with the dignified and elegant Su Qingtang on stage.

The group had already exchanged greetings, so there was no need for further formalities once they were in the car.

Su Qingtang took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful and elegant face. Even though she was nearly forty, her skin was still very delicate.

She looked at Lu Ran with some surprise.

Lu Ran was even younger and more handsome than she saw on TV.

Lu Ran is so handsome on stage, yet he's still the type who doesn't photograph well.

Su Qingtang spoke up first: "I watched your performance in 'Ode to the Sand Sea,' and you are completely different from Ma Tieshan in the drama now."

"You flatter me. It's mainly thanks to the stylist."

Lu Ran was also very polite.

Su Qingtang has a different kind of temperament. She looks quite pretty, but she always gives Lu Ran a sense of pressure like a school teacher.

The group soon arrived at Qincheng TV Station, where Xu Zi personally greeted them in the underground parking lot.

Su Qingtang's status is too high, which makes Xu Zi have to take her seriously.

After exchanging greetings, Xu Zi led everyone in through the side door. Throughout the entire process, Su Qingtang wore a mask and sunglasses.

Xu Zi had made up her mind to keep it a secret as thoroughly as possible. The fewer people who knew that Lu Ran's guest performer was Su Qingtang, the more shocking Su Qingtang's appearance would be.

The staff at the TV station are a mixed bag; some staff members know people in entertainment companies and will leak information to others.

Since that's the case, let's keep these people in the dark.

Finally, everyone arrived at Xu Zi's office. After pouring water for everyone, Xu Zi took out several stage planning documents.

"This is our stage presentation design; please take a look."

Li Quan excitedly took the proposal and handed it to Lu Ran.

"See? I don't understand."

Li Quan has always been assertive and confident in this regard.

If you don't understand, you don't understand. Leave professional matters to professionals.

"Judging from your expression just now, I thought you were going to see it."

Lu Ran was a little speechless.

Su Qingtang also picked up a proposal and started reading it.

Several designs were proposed in the plan.

Some shots directly block Su Qingtang's view, while others rely on lighting effects instead.

Lu Ran had initially planned to use a curtain to cover it, but Xu Zi designed even more effects based on that.

After some discussion, the three of them finalized the plan.

That's achieved by using lights!

The lighting design allows the audience to see Su Qingtang's figure, but not her face.

Li Quan, who was listening nearby, was dumbfounded.

"Are you planning to sing the whole song without showing your face?"

This is not what he imagined.

"I'll show my face after the on-site voting is over," Lu Ran said.

Li Quan glanced at Su Qingtang, who clearly already knew about this.

Li Quan scratched his head: "Strange, you two know about this, but I don't."

When Lu Ran told Xu Zi about the stage requirements before, Li Quan didn't listen. He only just found out that the stage was to be designed this way.

"Will this work?" Li Quan asked.

His main concern was the final outcome.

They invited Su Qingtang here precisely to leverage her fame. Now, without showing their faces, they can't gain any fame. What if something goes wrong and they get eliminated?

Su Qingtang said softly, "You have to believe in the songs written by Teacher Shunqiziran."

Li Quan slapped his forehead.

"Yes, this song is different."

"Let's go test the stage effects now," Xu Zi said.

……

In the studio.

The stage crew of "The Future Singer" is waiting.

The stage for the studio was already set up a few days ago.

There wasn't much to do today, just some checking and debugging. The contestants will come for rehearsal tomorrow.

They were already very familiar with this kind of work.

However, Xu Zi informed them today that everyone should be present for a rehearsal this afternoon.

This made everyone very curious.

Who can come to the rehearsal today?

"I do not know."

Several staff members were chatting when they saw Lu Ran walk in.

No one was surprised.

Given Lu Ran's status, it's perfectly normal for him to request an early rehearsal, and Xu Zi will definitely agree, since they're all family.

"By the way, if Lu Ran comes to the rehearsal, will we be able to see his guest performer?"

"That's true. I wonder who Lu Ran's guest performer will be. Could it be Ning Sirou?"

“Ning Sirou sings off-key and can’t sing at all. If she comes, she’ll only cause trouble for Lu Ran.”

"Who could it be? I'm so worried!"

All the staff were watching the entrance gate.

After Lu Ran came in, Li Quan also came in.

Li Quan left the door open, and then Xu Zi and a woman walked in, chatting and laughing.

When everyone saw the appearance of the woman next to Xu Zi, their faces showed astonishment.

"Su Qingtang?"

"No way? Lu Ran's guest performer is Su Qingtang?"
