This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 147 This is the World of Geniuses
All the people present in the meeting room today are members of the main creative team.

The closer it gets to the National Day gala, the more anxious and stressed everyone becomes.

During on-site preparation, all sorts of unexpected situations can arise.

Everyone had to arrange the program order, design the stage effects, and deal with various unexpected situations, so their mental state wasn't very good.

No one can avoid going crazy at work.

Now Lu Ran is suggesting changing the song, which just adds more work for everyone.

If the song is changed, the program length will change, the order of segments may need to be changed, and the host's introductions will also need to be revised.

The dancers, stage design, and everything else need to be adjusted.

"Then let's hurry up. Didn't Lu Ran bring the demo? Let's listen to the song first. If the song isn't good, just refuse it."

"Yes, 'Loyalty to the Country' has been proven by the market and is a relatively safe song. If you want to exchange it for a new song, the requirements will definitely be higher."

"Everyone, please don't be angry. The fact that Lu Ran was able to raise the request to change the song at this time shows that Lu Ran is treating the National Day Gala as an important matter, and his attitude is not a problem."

Within the creative team, everyone expressed their own opinions.

The middle-aged woman who had been speaking earlier shut her mouth and stopped talking.

Everyone looked at Zhang Delin.

Ultimately, it was up to Zhang Delin, the chief director, to make the decision.

Zhang Delin said slowly, "How about this, since everyone is here, listening to a song won't be a problem. We can make a decision after we've listened to it."

Zhang Delin had his assistant send the file over, which he then transferred directly to his computer.

The assistant opened the lyrics file.

Everyone looked at the big screen.

"What the heck? Lyrics by Liang Qichao and Lu Ran?"

"Is this the Liang Qichao I know?"

"Look, it really is true, the lyrics use a line from 'The Young China'."

Zhang Delin also took a closer look at the song title and lyrics.

"Ode to Young China, this song..."

This song title is perfect for the National Day Gala.

It has to be said that Lu Ran has a firm grasp on positive energy.

If Lu Ran had presented a love song, or even an inspirational one, Zhang Delin would have refused without hesitation.

It would be better to sing "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty".

But the title of this song, "Ode to Young China," is different.

I can't refuse, I'll have to think about it some more.

"Let's play some music," Zhang Delin said.

The assistant clicked to play the demo of the song that Lu Ran had sent.

Although it's called a demo, it's actually a complete song, just recorded casually.

It began with Lu Ran's powerful voice reciting text from "A Young China's Manifesto".

Later, he sang out the contents of the article.

Zhang Delin and the others listened to the song without saying a word.

Even the middle-aged woman who had spoken at the beginning nodded slightly when she heard this.

After the entire song was finished, the conference room fell silent.

Everyone was still somewhat shocked.

Lu Ran's output is simply too high.

This poem, "Ode to Young China," is also a masterpiece!
The emotions conveyed in the song are completely different from those in "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty".

"Ode to Young China" contains hope.

The National Day Gala is not only about looking back on the past, but also about conveying hope.

"Ode to Young China" will surely have a huge impact on young people.

Zhang Delin asked, "In this recitation part, Lu Ran said it should be recited in a young boy's voice. Whom does he want to use?"

The assistant said, "Director Zhang, Lu Ran is currently filming our TV station's variety show 'We Walk on the Road' in your province. He is filming at a primary school in the mountains. This morning, Lu Ran taught a Chinese class to the students, talking about 'Ode to Young China.' After finishing the class, he wrote this song, and he wants to use the children from this school."

Lu Ran said that if this song is chosen, he hopes to bring the children from this elementary school onto the stage.

Zhang Delin asked, "Does anyone know the director of this program?"

Immediately, someone said, "I know him. The director is Feng Kang, from Tianjing Media."

Zhang Delin: "I called to inquire about the situation."

The man immediately took out his phone and called Feng Kang.

Not long after, the call was connected.

"Director Feng, is Lu Ran with you right now?"

Feng Kang is currently smoking while using the restroom.

Upon hearing this question, Feng Kangju tensed up.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm asking you a question."

"It's with me."

"Did he teach a Chinese language class to elementary school students this morning? Was he still talking about 'Ode to Young China'?"

Feng Kang looked shocked: "How did you know? Did you plant a mole in my team?" The other person was speechless.

Why would I plant an undercover agent?

We're all one family.

The person inquired about the situation at Sunshine Primary School before hanging up.

Feng Kang has already put out his cigarette and wiped his butt.

He is very confused now.

Why did your National Day Gala directing team call me to ask about Lu Ran's situation?
"What exactly happened? Did Lu Ran get into trouble?" Feng Kang pressed.

The man glanced at Zhang Delin, who waved his hand to indicate that he could speak.

"Director Feng, it's like this..."

This person recounted how Lu Ran wrote a song after finishing his class with his students.

Feng Kang was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

What's the situation?
Is this the world of genius?
Did you write a song during the last Chinese class?

At that moment, Feng Kang suddenly realized something!

"This song should be on my show!"

Feng Kang was already getting anxious.

I wrote a song for my show, and it actually got given to the National Day Gala.

Am I not as good as the National Day Gala?

Okay, it's not as good as it is.

In the conference room.

The man hung up the phone with Feng Kang.

Everyone in the meeting room accepted this fact.

That is, Lu Ran wrote a song after class this morning.

However, this situation is not uncommon in the industry, and everyone just assumes that Lu Ran was bursting with inspiration.

The question now is whether or not to include "Ode to Young China" in the National Day Gala.

Currently, as long as the students of Sunshine Primary School perform well, there is no problem for them to appear on the National Day Gala.

In the past, many primary school students from other places also participated in the National Day Gala performances.

Zhang Delin said seriously, "The old rules still apply. Raise your hands to vote. Those who agree to replace 'Loyalty to the Country' with 'Ode to Young China' should raise their hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Delin raised his hand.

Then, everyone raised their hands.

The entire creative team unanimously approved it.

Everyone understands that singing "Loyalty to the Country" again won't have the same effect as the final stage of the future King of Singers competition.

The National Day Gala stage won't allow Lu Ran to have the same ostentatious fun as he did on Future Singer.

"Ode to Young China" is different.

This song is easier to stage, and being a new song, it can also bring a sense of novelty to the audience.

Zhang Delin nodded: "Go and inform Lu Ran that we will keep in touch to ensure the program is prepared on time."

The assistant acknowledged and left the meeting room.

In Lu Ran's dormitory at Yangguang Elementary School.

Li Quan and Zhang Delin's assistants are on the phone.

After discussing some specific matters, Li Quan gave Lu Ran an OK sign.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Lu Ran!"

Feng Kang called from outside the door, his voice urgent.

Li Quan opened the door, and Feng Kang rushed in.

Feng Kang felt increasingly uneasy. He recalled asking Lu Ran what he wanted to sing tomorrow during dinner, and Lu Ran saying they would discuss it tomorrow.

Lu Ran then wrote a new song for the National Day Gala.

The inspiration came from our show!

This made Feng Kang feel like he had been cheated on.

Li Quan asked, "Director Feng, what's wrong?"

Feng Kang wore a very friendly smile, so friendly it was almost creepy.

"Lu Ran, I heard you wrote a song for the National Day Gala called 'Ode to Young China,' do you think you could..."

Feng Kang gave Lu Ran a look, then said firmly, "I'm telling you this: if the National Day Gala can't give you the money, I can!"

Although the National Day Gala also pays celebrities appearance fees, the fees are lower than those for commercial performances due to the nature of the gala.

However, the celebrities who are willing to go are not there for the appearance fee.

The massive exposure from CCTV is something that money can't buy.

In this respect, Feng Kang is different.

He can pay according to commercial value.

Anyway, he's not short of money.
