This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 143 Lu Ran has disappeared!
Chang'an Entertainment acted swiftly.

Shen Qingyi had anticipated the various tactics employed by the Fire Group's fans.

It's kind of funny that Huotuan's fans are comparing the audio from the press conference with Lu Ran's live performance.

The audio source used at the press conference was definitely not the live audio source, but rather audio edited by a sound engineer.

To truly assess their singing ability, you have to watch live videos of Fireballs; without a doubt, they're terrible.

To be honest, you can ignore it.

Because later on, the fans of the Fireballs will upload the live video of the event to the internet, and then the content creators in the comment section will take action.

Some people may wonder, since Huo Tuan's fans have seen the fancam video, didn't they notice that Huo Tuan's singing skills are not as good as Lu Ran's?

Why would they even post a direct shot video like that?
The truth is, even after seeing the individual videos, these people wouldn't think that Huo Tuan's singing skills are worse than Lu Ran's.

They might even think that her singing skills are better than Lu Ran's.

On Earth, a boy band held a concert. No one opened their mouths, yet their songs were still coming from the speakers.

One of the members didn't sing the first half of the line, only the second half.

Netizens are complaining that this person isn't even acting anymore; is this a concert? They might as well just play songs.

The fans explained that this was a unique technique my brother used in live performances, called "leaving blank space."

See, Lu Ran never leaves any blank spaces when he sings.

There's really no need to pay attention to this group.

Shen Qingyi simply didn't want these people to try and frame Lu Ran.

If you're going to compete on popularity, then compete on popularity. But to compete on singing ability? Do you even deserve it?
With Chang'an Entertainment taking action, content creators in the comment section had material, and netizens also found live videos of Huo Tuan.

After seeing the fancam video, netizens were speechless.

"With this level of skill, how did you even think of trying to frame Director Lu?"

"Let's talk this out, don't show the main content!"

"Being a sound engineer for Fireball should be considered a work injury, right?"

"Lu Ting's live performance was still the most stable. Hu Nengkai made a comparison video, and Lu Ran's voice crack was obviously intentional, and the emotion in the crack was more intense."

"Go away and entertain yourself, don't come here and disgust people."

The flames' counterattack was basically defeated in one blow.

In the face of facts, argument is utterly futile.

On major music platforms, "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" and songs by Huo Tuan have both made it onto the charts.

With the help of netizens, "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" directly climbed to the top of the hot song chart.

Fireball's new song ranked second.

However, the little flames kept thinking of various ways to send the Fireball's song to first place.

Whenever a song by Fireballs reaches number one, it gets noticed by netizens.

Then netizens started taking action.

"Lu Ting's new song has been surpassed, let's keep boosting Lu Ting's popularity."

Then "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" returned to first place.

Amidst this back-and-forth struggle, by the afternoon, "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" had essentially secured the number one spot on the hot song chart.

No matter how hard the little flames tried, they couldn't defeat it.

How many people are in the small flame?

Lu Ran's side was engulfed in flames.

At this time, Lu Ran ignored the online matters and left them to his studio to handle.

Dealing with these boy bands is a piece of cake.

He and Li Quan have already set off for your province.

The recording of this episode of the variety show "We Are Walking on the Road" produced by Beijing TV was conducted in your province.

The variety show is filmed in different locations for each episode, with guests shooting all over the country to promote culture. The program content is quite positive.

After Lu Ran and his companion came out of the airport, they got into the car that the production crew had come to pick him up.

On the bus, a little girl explained the situation to Lu Ran.

This episode features four guests, including Lu Ran.

One of them was Zhou Hao, an acquaintance of Lu Ran.

The other one is Bai Yiyi, who sings "Come Home Often".

The last one is Li Haorui, a singer from Xingyao Media.

After introducing the guests, the little girl said earnestly, "Teacher Lu Ran, the main content of this episode is to experience life in a mountain primary school, and then everyone will perform a show to conclude the episode."

Guizhou Province has many mountains, including many primary schools in mountainous areas.

The purpose of the program is to show the audience the situation of primary schools in mountainous areas and let them see the changes that have taken place in these areas over the years.

Lu Ran nodded: "I understand."

This program has a public service aspect, which is typical of CCTV in Beijing.

After driving for several hours, we finally arrived at the mountain primary school.

Unlike the dilapidated primary school Lu Ran had imagined, this primary school had a very good environment, with a football field, a basketball court, and a well-built reinforced concrete teaching building.

The school is surrounded by towering mountains, shrouded in mist and clouds, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Feng Kang, the director of "We Are Walking on the Road", was already waiting at the school gate.

Feng Kang, a middle-aged man, reached out and rushed towards Lu Ran upon seeing him.

Getting Lu Ran onto the show this time was a huge stroke of luck for them.

When they agreed to appear on the show, Lu Ran wasn't this popular yet.

The popularity of land-based fuels is much higher now than it was back then.

It's easy to imagine that this episode will be very popular when it airs.

Feng Kang chatted with Lu Ran for a few minutes, then took Lu Ran into the school.

In a room, Lu Ran met Zhou Hao and Bai Yiyi.

Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise, "It really is you!"

Bai Yiyi looked at Lu Ran with curiosity.

Sitting on another chair was a young and handsome singer, Li Haorui, a singer from Xingyao Media.

Li Haorui smiled and nodded slightly to Lu Ran.

As everyone gathered together, Feng Kang called over a middle-aged man.

"Let me introduce you to Sun Shengqiang, the principal of Yangguang Primary School. Principal Sun will be leading everyone through the school life during the recording activities over the next few days."

Sun Shengqiang has dark skin and looks shrewd and capable.

Sun Shengqiang smiled and said, "Welcome everyone to experience life at our Sunshine Primary School. We'll officially start tomorrow morning. Tonight, you'll all sleep in our school's dormitory. After dinner, please get some rest." Sun Shengqiang led everyone to the dormitory building. The dormitory building had empty rooms, but the conditions certainly couldn't compare to a five-star hotel.

But this is all normal when you're out recording a show.

For some outdoor program recordings, there's not even a place to sleep, let alone a dormitory.

In the afternoon, after everyone had eaten, Sun Shengqiang instructed, "Everyone, get some rest early tonight. If you have any questions, feel free to call me."

Sun Shengqiang met up with Feng Kang after leaving the house.

Sun Shengqiang asked with some concern, "Is this appropriate? Should we just tell them that tomorrow's recording starts at six o'clock?"

His suggestion to get some rest wasn't just polite talk; he genuinely hoped everyone would get some rest—a small hint.

Anyone who stays up late will suffer a lot when they wake up the next morning.

Feng Kang shook his head: "This is nothing. We need their real reaction. Tomorrow morning, knock on each door and wake them up!"

Variety show directors can be ruthless in different ways, but reality show directors are known for being the most ruthless.

Even directors at CCTV are no exception.

"Alright then." Sun Shengqiang nodded.

It was almost seven o'clock in Zhou Hao's room.

Lu Ran, Zhou Hao, and Bai Yiyi were still chatting.

Zhou Hao and Bai Yiyi were old acquaintances, so he introduced Bai Yiyi to Lu Ran.

The three of them talked happily.

Just as Bai Yiyi was about to add Lu Ran as a friend, Lu Ran stood up and said, "Brother Zhou, Sister Bai, I'm going back now. It's almost time, I need to watch the news."

Zhou Hao and Bai Yiyi were both puzzled.

Your reason is so refreshing and unconventional.

Neither of them said anything.

That's just the kind of person Lu Ran is.

Bai Yiyi also took her leave.

Meanwhile, Li Haorui was in his own room.

Participating in a variety show hosted by CCTV seems like a good opportunity, but Li Haorui actually knows that this resource is not considered very valuable within the company.

Only a few people watch the variety shows on CCTV, and Xingyao Media didn't let him participate in the popular ones.

Li Haorui has been signed with Xingyao Media for many years, and his contract is about to expire, but he is still in a lukewarm state.

The company didn't invest many resources in him.

When he saw Lu Ran, he felt no resentment, only envy.

"Never mind, let's play games."

Li Haorui took out his phone, intending to talk until midnight.

Six o'clock the next morning.

Outside the dormitory building, the program crew members were walking quietly in the corridor.

Sun Shengqiang walked at the front, followed by the cameraman.

He glanced at the staff behind him, took a deep breath, and knocked on Zhou Hao's door first.

After knocking a few times, Zhou Hao, who was wearing pajamas, opened the door.

Sun Shengqiang said sternly, "Get up, get up, we'll start morning exercises at 6:30."

Zhou Hao was still in a daze when he heard this and suddenly became alert.

This news was undoubtedly a devastating blow to this middle-aged singer!
The cameraman recorded the entire process.

Then Sun Shengqiang went to Bai Yiyi's dormitory and continued knocking on the door.

Bai Yiyi also opened the door, still half asleep.

Upon hearing that morning exercises would be done at 6:30, Bai Yiyi's face showed astonishment.

The staff were all secretly laughing behind their backs.

Sun Shengqiang then went to Li Haorui's dormitory. He knocked on the door but no one answered, so he pushed the door open and went in.

Li Haorui was still fast asleep in bed.

When Sun Shengqiang woke Li Haorui up and told him about the morning exercises, Li Haorui's eyes widened immediately.

After calling three people in a row, Sun Shengqiang gradually became immersed in the joy of playing pranks.

"Interesting, interesting. It's so funny to see other people in pain."

Feng Kang laughed and said, "The footage we just recorded was pretty good. There's only Lu Ran left. Let's go see his reaction."

The staff were also quite eager to get started.

They knew they had to get up early this morning, so they had all slept well last night.

It's really satisfying to see the reactions of these guests.

Sun Shengqiang suppressed his smile, revealing a serious expression, and arrived at Lu Ran's dormitory door.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Sun Shengqiang said to the camera, "Another one who's still sleeping."

After knocking for a while and seeing that there was still no response, Sun Shengqiang turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

The cameraman quickly followed and pointed the camera at the bed.

However, when everyone saw what was on the bed, their faces showed astonishment.

The bed was made neatly, and the blankets were folded into squares.

The bed was empty.

Sun Shengqiang panicked.

"What about people?"

Feng Kang also rushed in.

"Lu Ran has disappeared?"

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

In this desolate wilderness, the loss of a living person would be a major disaster.

Feng Kang said sternly, "Call Lu Ran immediately and find him!"

As soon as everyone came out of Lu Ran's dormitory, they saw Lu Ran walking out of the corridor wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

Lu Ran was somewhat surprised when he saw the group of people.

"What are you doing here?"
