This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 168 Enough with the nonsense, I'm here to take you down.

Lu Ran recalled for a moment.

This show has been running for several seasons, and this year's season is focusing on Cantonese songs.

The singers on stage had to perform Cantonese songs.

However, there aren't many new Cantonese songs in the entertainment industry now; most people are singing old songs.

Lu Ran: "I'll think about it."

That evening, Lu Ran returned to Wutong Garden and turned on his computer to search for information about the development of Cantonese songs in this world.

Cantonese songs began to emerge alongside the development of film and television dramas in Hong Kong, and the whole society was also accepted by the public after some Cantonese songs were used as theme songs for film and television dramas.

As more and more songs were released, they gradually became integrated into the lives of the locals.

After Hong Kong's return to China, Cantonese songs spread to the mainland and quickly became popular throughout the country.

Mandarin has only four tones, but standard Cantonese has nine tones and six intonations.

The varied rhythms give Cantonese songs more fluctuating emotions and also give them a rhythm similar to that of classical poetry.

"Lyrics are written to be sung and listened to, so they must be as simple as possible to be easy to understand."

This is the standard for most lyricists.

Because Cantonese retains many characteristics of classical Chinese in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, its pronunciation is relatively tongue-twisting.

When composing songs, reduplication is often used in lyrics to alleviate this situation.

Lu Ran looked into the development of Cantonese songs and the current market situation, and came to a conclusion.

“Cantonese songs are feasible.”

If he were to appear on "The Voice of China," he would definitely sing Cantonese songs from around the world.

Judging from the current situation, the audience does not have any resistance to the new Cantonese songs.

As long as it sounds good, it will be accepted by audiences in both Cantonese-speaking and Mandarin-speaking regions.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

Lu Ran glanced at it; it was a message from Xu Zi.

"The backdrop of China in the classics is complete."

Then Xu Zi sent him a video.

Lu Ran clicked on the video.

The set design for "China in Classical Texts" was very demanding and expensive.

But it must be said, as expected of a central office, its efficiency is indeed fast.

We have completed all the necessary preparations for recording the first episode and can begin recording the main episode.

The materials needed for the later episodes are still being prepared.

With CCTV's involvement, the entire program's production team alone numbered over a thousand people.

This is also normal.

"China in Classical Texts" is different from ordinary variety show recordings; it's like filming a drama, albeit a stage play.

Lu Ran replied earnestly: "Director Xu, thank you for your hard work. Seeing that the Chinese scenery set in the classic texts has been successfully completed, I deeply feel your and your team's professional spirit of striving for excellence. I believe that under your leadership, this program will definitely become a benchmark work with profound ideas, exquisite artistry, and excellent production."

After a while, Xu Zi sent four words.

"speak nicely."

How come things are getting weirder and weirder after not seeing each other for more than a month?

Xu Zi called Lu Ran directly.

After the call connected, Xu Zi asked, "Are you free now?"

Lu Ran: "That's convenient."

Xu Zi's tone when asking questions was very strange.

Lu Ran felt that Xu Zi was questioning his character.

Does that mean I should be sleeping with a woman at this time, and that it's inconvenient?
"The first episode of 'The Chinese Classics' can begin recording. The actors from the National Theatre of China have already recorded the reading session."

Each episode of "China in Classical Texts" is divided into several parts, with the most popular part being the interpretation section.

This part requires Lu Ran and the actors to perform together.

The main actors are all reliable actors recruited from the National Theatre of China.

"Okay, you arrange the time."

After the two agreed on the time, Xu Zi smiled and said, "There's one more thing. I'm here to persuade you. Mu Yong, the director of 'Voice of the Heart,' wants to invite you to participate. Let me try to convince you."

This show is a collaboration with Tencent Video. Mu Yong is someone who likes to stir things up, but he's quite good at ensuring the show's fairness. You could consider it. Mu Yong also asked me to tell you that if you want to participate, he can help you arrange for a singer from Xingyao Media to come on stage.

"They really know how to stir things up," Lu Ran thought to himself in amazement.

This kind of variety show, designed for established singers, is different from talent shows.

Mu Yong wanted to generate buzz.

The battle between Burning Studio and Starry Media has already begun. If singers from both studios were to compete against each other on a show, the buzz would be off the charts.

"Okay, let me think about it." The show "Voice of the Heart" won't be over anytime soon, so Lu Ran needs to prepare first.

The next day, Lu Ran and Li Quan set off for Beijing to participate in the recording of "China in Classical Texts".

Burning Studio released a teaser for a new song.

"Li Haorui's new song 'Steady Happiness' will be released on October 21st."

Li Haorui also reposted this Weibo post and tagged Lu Ran.

The second episode of this frenzy among onlookers has officially begun.

Li Haorui's fans have also come back to life in the past few days.

"Is Rui finally going to have a new song? That's been a long time coming."

"Lu Ting is the most reliable one; he started with a song."

"Can time please hurry up and get to the 21st!"

Netizens are watching with a sense of morbid curiosity, waiting to see what Xingyao Media will do next.

In the conference room of Xingyao Media.

A group of people are having a meeting.

Guo Weicheng gave the order directly.

We absolutely cannot let Li Haorui's new song be released so smoothly.

It's common for two songs to compete for the top spot on the charts within the industry.

Last time, Lu Ran took down the FKL7 boy group, so this time they'll have to take down Li Haorui.

We must fight; there is no turning back!
Tang Yufeng chuckled and said, "Perfect timing! I've written a new song, and I'll have to test my skills against Lu Ran again. Who would you like to sing it?"

Ren Xin thought for a moment: "Li Haorui has a fan base, and ordinary singers can't compare to him. Let's let the top singers in the company sing. How about Cheng Yarui? She definitely wants to get back at him."

Cheng Ya Rui was a guest performer for Fei Ling Yun, but she was completely outshone by the combination of Lu Ran and Su Qing Tang.

They provided guest vocals, but it was as if they hadn't done anything; it had no effect whatsoever.

Cheng Yarui was furious.

I inexplicably got myself into a mess.

Tang Yufeng nodded: "Yes, this song of mine suits her."

Guo Weicheng had no objections.

Cheng Ya Rui's popularity far surpassed Li Hao Rui's, and she also had Tang Yu Feng's song to support her.

wrong!

Guo Weicheng looked at Tang Yufeng: "Brother Guan, are you confident?"

Tang Yufeng laughed and said, "Actually, I'm always very confident about the songs I write, but I don't know how they'll turn out after they're released."

Saying this is the same as not saying it.

But in Guo Weicheng's opinion, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Tang Yufeng and Cheng Yarui have collaborated several times and know each other very well.

This is the first time Lu Ran and Li Haorui have worked together.

With all these factors combined, this match is unwinnable!
Guo Weicheng instructed, "Release a teaser: Cheng Yarui's new song will be released on the same day as Li Haorui's!"

Xingyao Media also announced that Cheng Yarui's new song will be released on the same day as Li Haorui's new song.

There is plenty of time before the release date, and subsequent publicity and promotion resources can be provided.

Cheng Yarui also gave a heads-up on her Weibo account.

However, Cheng Ya-rui was very impolite.

She was already holding back her anger.

The copy directly states, "Compared to some of our peers who rely on hype to grab attention, we believe more in the power of the work itself."

The enthusiasm of the onlookers was reignited.

This clearly indicates that she intends to go against Lu Ran.

However, not long after, Li Haorui also posted a Weibo post.

"Lu Ran said something to me today, from the 'Zeng Guang Xian Wen'. I think it's a good saying: 'Others admiring flowers doesn't concern your eyes, and others' busy lives doesn't concern your feet.'"

This means that others admiring flowers won't interfere with your view, and others being busy won't hinder your progress.

Some netizens were stunned when they saw this sentence and couldn't immediately understand its meaning.

However, there are also many knowledgeable netizens.

"Simply put, this means to ignore what others say and just focus on doing your own thing."

"I get it. In other words, stop talking nonsense and I'm here to get you."

"How many books does Director Lu read every day? His knowledge is so eclectic!"
