This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 98 I have a few words to say to everyone
The staff felt like they were dreaming and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Several staff members rubbed their eyes and looked back in Su Qingtang's direction.

That's right, the person who came was Su Qingtang!

In an instant, the staff members started making a fuss.

"I'm not mistaken, it really is Su Qingtang!"

"Lu Ran's guest performer is actually Su Qingtang! How can this possibly work?!"

"Who said Lu Ran would definitely lose in the fourth performance? With Su Qingtang as his guest singer, Lu Ran won't lose!"

"No wonder Director Xu asked us to keep today's work a secret."

After a moment of surprise, the staff members were overjoyed.

The staff members who were present at this time were all Xu Zi's own people, you could say they were her confidants.

Everyone was eating with Xu Zi, so they naturally understood Xu Zi's thoughts.

Lu Ran is someone Xu Zi strongly supports.

As the competitions progressed, the staff noticed Lu Ran's transformation.

This is a singer worthy of respect!
When he sang "restless guests, self-importantly performing," when he sang about those eight glasses of wine.

Everyone had already fallen in love with this player.

Truly talented singers should not be overlooked!
We shouldn't stop here!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Sure enough, someone came to help Lu Ran; it was Su Qingtang again.

The staff were also very enthusiastic.

They've been working in the variety show industry for so many years, but they've never met Su Qingtang before; this is their first time.

You can brag about it when you go out in the future, saying that you recorded a program for Su Qingtang.

Xu Zi called over several people in charge of the stage.

Su Qingtang and Lu Ran greeted each other politely.

The people in charge were somewhat flattered.

Su Qingtang's status was far too high; they could hardly come into contact with her under normal circumstances.

Now that we've met, everyone's positive feelings towards us have only grown stronger.

Su Qingtang is humble and gentle, with no airs.

The group huddled together and quickly discussed the stage effects they wanted to achieve.

While a few people were chatting, Li Quan wandered around the studio with his phone in hand.

He ran up to the staff with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Teacher Su and Lu Ran are treating everyone to milk tea. Please order whatever you like and don't be shy."

Normally, when people order this kind of milk tea, they just count the number of people and then order a whole bunch of identical ones.

Li Quan then carefully asked each person what flavor they wanted to drink and whether they wanted ice or not.

They're still using Su Qingtang and Lu Ran's names.

The staff were in a much better mood.

Before long, Lu Ran and Su Qingtang walked onto the stage, and the lighting technician began to adjust the effects.

It took almost an hour to get the lights working properly.

The staff were also eagerly anticipating Lu Ran's performance.

When the rehearsal officially began, a group of staff members were completely dumbfounded.

As expected of a song written naturally, it's truly exceptional!
Those who know it say it's a talent show, but those who don't might think it's the Spring Festival Gala.

"This song paired with this combination is the trump card of our show this episode."

"That's true. No wonder Director Xu gave Lu Ran a private rehearsal today. I would have done the same if I were in his shoes."

"I don't dare to imagine what the other players' expressions will be like tomorrow."

The staff were very excited.

However, everyone also noticed problems during the rehearsal process.

That is, during the lighting, Su Qingtang's face was never shown.

She was completely hidden in the darkness, and from any angle at the scene, you could only see a single figure standing there.

It's impossible to see the face clearly.

This stage design is very unique.

"Does Su Qingtang only come to sing as a guest performer and not show her face?"

After several rehearsals, the entire song "The Nation" was performed live once.

Lu Ran and Su Qingtang are both professional singers, and their singing is impeccable. The purpose of the rehearsal is mainly to improve the stage effect.

So far, it looks pretty good.

After the two left, Xu Zi called all the staff present together.

"I'll reiterate once again, no one is allowed to reveal that Lu Ran's guest performer is Su Qingtang. There are only so many people here today. If anyone leaks it beforehand, I promise to investigate them one by one and find the person who leaked it."

Xu Zi looked very serious.

She was definitely not joking.

Although everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, those who want to leak information don't care about that.

"We absolutely will not disclose this!"

The staff members said one after another.

What a joke! Anyway, it'll be live tomorrow night, then the audience will know who it is.

Leaking information now offers no benefit other than showing off.

But if it's not leaked, tomorrow's scene will definitely be very interesting.

Especially Jiang Yaofeng's comments.

Everyone is eager to know how Jiang Yaofeng will comment on Su Qingtang's singing skills.

……

Qincheng, a five-star hotel. Jiang Yaofeng had just entered when his phone rang.

The caller was Guo Weicheng, the owner of Xingyao Media.

Jiang Yaofeng answered the phone and said with a smile, "President Guo."

"Pay close attention to the fourth performance, especially when it comes to voting for Lu Ran," Guo Weicheng said solemnly.

"Has Lu Ran's guest performer been confirmed?" Jiang Yaofeng asked.

"I've asked every singer I could in the entertainment industry, and none of them are it," Guo Weicheng said calmly.

Jiang Yaofeng was completely relieved.

"If he's not a singer in the entertainment industry, then he's just an ordinary person. Don't worry, Mr. Guo, no matter who wrote the song for Lu Ran or how well he sings it, I won't give him a single vote," Jiang Yaofeng said confidently.

The fourth performance was a crucial moment, and Jiang Yaofeng understood the importance of this competition to Xingyao Media.

If we kill Lu Ran at this time, it would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

What do the netizens' criticisms amount to?

Anyway, the fans won't run away. Even if he sleeps with a fan, the true core fans won't run away; they'll just hate that it wasn't them they slept with.

Once Xingyao Media's resources are connected, he can officially enter the film and television industry.

What's wrong with songs written naturally?
I'm sitting in the mentor's seat today, so I am a mentor and I have the right to give feedback!
That evening, Lu Ran returned to his residence in Wutong Garden.

He had a meal with Su Qingtang in the afternoon.

On the phone, the Xingchu Song King's fan group is also quite lively.

Wishing everyone a successful start tomorrow!

"Come on, everyone!"

"They'll all make it into the top ten nationwide!"

Eliminated contestants were sending their blessings in the group chat.

On the contrary, the contestants were under a lot of pressure and basically just replied with a thank you.

Even the usually cheerful Zhao Long was quieter today.

After thinking about it, Lu Ran decided to bring some positive energy to everyone.

Then he sent a voice message.

Inside the hotel, Zhao Long, with a solemn expression, practiced his stage moves in front of the mirror.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it after hearing it ring.

The phone displayed an audio message that was over twenty seconds long, sent by Lu Ran.

Zhao Long clicked on it without thinking.

Lu Ran's voice rang out.

"Students, the semi-finals are about to begin, and I have a few words I'd like to say to you all."

Zhao Long pricked up his ears, ready to listen, and then he heard Lu Ran's singing.

"I know my future is not a dream. I live every minute to the fullest. My future is not a dream. My heart beats with hope. Let's all keep going!"

After listening to the song, Zhao Long fell silent.

You can't say that Lu Ran's words weren't encouragement.

"My Future Is Not a Dream" is also the theme song for the future king of singers, which is meant to inspire the contestants.

That's why it sounds a bit strange.

Zhao Long recalled the scene when Lu Ran sang "Sailor" for the eliminated contestants after the class division assessment.

This person is crazy!
Then, Zhao Long typed in the group chat.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Lu Ran. I feel much better now."

They can scam as many people as they can, so go listen to this!
Most people, if it's convenient, won't transcribe a 20-second audio message into text; they'll simply click to listen.

Sure enough, Wang Jiayue then added, "Everyone should really listen to Lu Ran's voice message; I was very moved."

Other contestants also spoke up one after another, but none of them told the truth.

Finally, Lin Xingchu sent a series of ellipses.

Lu Ran then received a message from Lin Xingchu.

"How are the preparations going?"

Lin Xingchu had previously asked Lu Ran if he needed help, offering to introduce him to a guest performer, but Lu Ran declined.

Lu Ran said he had a solution.

"Absolutely perfect. Look forward to my performance tomorrow night."

Lu Ran never boasts, but this time the situation is truly different.

Lin Xingchu sent an OK emoji.

She trusted Lu Ran quite a bit.

……

Time flew by, and it was already past 8 p.m. on August 29th.

The audience members and members of the public jury are all in place.

Today, the topic of discussion has shifted to guest performers.

Online, netizens are also discussing this topic.

Some contestants have already announced the identities of their guest performers in advance to generate buzz, which allows them to gain an edge on the popularity charts.

Who will be Lu Ran's guest performer?

"I do not know."

"Never mind, let's see how Lu Ting and Shunqi Ziran form a powerful alliance tonight."

At 8 PM, the live broadcast of the fourth performance of the eighth episode of "The Future Singer" officially began.
