This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 177 The song and the advertisement fit together so perfectly.

The song "Steady Happiness" is good.

Lu Ran continued to perform consistently.

To be honest, it's quite terrifying that a creator can consistently deliver such a stable performance.

As Tang Yufeng said, the song "Steady Happiness" was tailor-made for Li Haorui.

These two factors combined make "A Steady Happiness" a high-quality song.

But that's not enough!
This song is too bland!
Both the melody and the lyrics have a rather bland feel to them.

If it were a full album, including this song would be perfectly fine, but it can't be the album's title track.

The song Tang Yufeng wrote for Cheng Yarui this time has a more catchy melody, a more distinct rhythm, and a more intense emotional outburst.

It stands in stark contrast to "A Steady Happiness".

Cheng Yarui smiled and said, "Master Guan, we've got this one in the bag."

Tang Yufeng waved his hand: "Don't open the champagne halfway through."

Cheng Yarui's mood improved considerably: "This isn't like opening champagne at the halfway point; this is like the dust settling down."

She stood up and asked, "Master Guan, let's go eat."

Tang Yufeng shook his head, seemingly talking to himself: "Do you know what true happiness is?"

Cheng Yarui felt that the question was inexplicable, and wondered why she cared about it, but she still said, "Having you write songs for me is a steady happiness."

Because she was in a good mood, Cheng Yarui spoke more freely.

"Go ahead and eat, I'm going to listen to some more music," Tang Yufeng said.

Cheng Yarui didn't insist on staying any longer and left the room.

Tang Yufeng held his phone and chose to put "Steady Happiness" on repeat.

As soon as Cheng Yarui's new song was released online, her fans went to music apps to listen to it.

By this time, the first group of listeners had finished listening.

"Cheng Zi's song 'The Sea in My Heart' is really amazing."

"It has been added to my playlist and is on repeat."

"This song is so well written. The sea in my heart is surging with love, and every drop of saltiness is a flood of longing."

"When we were in love, my love for you was overwhelming, turning into the sea in my heart. After we broke up, my tears flowed, still the sea in my heart. Master Guan still has some skills."

"Number one spot is guaranteed!"

Under Cheng Yarui's Weibo post, fans kept praising her.

Other netizens also listened to the song.

"Cheng Yarui's new song seems to be better than Li Haorui's song."

"These two songs have different styles, it depends on personal preference. Relatively speaking, I actually prefer 'Steady Happiness'."

"In terms of reach, Cheng Yarui's new song has greater reach."

"It's hard to say this time."

Li Haorui's fans have also listened to the song.

Unlike others, Li Haorui's fans are more familiar with the stories he has experienced.

In the entertainment industry, Lai Ho-yui is considered to be a laid-back person, and he is also quite family-oriented.

His relationship with his wife is often talked about by fans.

"This song, 'Steady Happiness,' must have been tailor-made for Li Haorui by Teacher Lu Ran. It's so perfect."

"This song is meant to be listened to slowly, and it's suitable for older people to listen to. Young people may not be able to appreciate its charm."

“It suits Li Zai quite well; he’s living a stable and happy life right now.”

Time passed by minute by minute.

By evening, the rankings were basically fixed.

On the new song chart, "The Sea in My Heart" ranked first, and "Steady Happiness" ranked third.

Star Media immediately took action.

Online, a bunch of marketing accounts have all sprung up.

"The Sea in My Heart Tops the New Song Chart! Cheng Yarui interprets her musical attitude with solid singing skills. If it weren't for Lu Ran's fame, Li Haorui's new song would probably not have reached number three."

"Cheng Yarui's new song is far ahead of its contemporaries, while Li Haorui's new song is performing poorly in terms of data. The audience is voting with their ears."

"Lu Ran's talent has run dry, why bother changing his style? He should continue to delve deeper into the field of inspirational writing."

The articles from marketing accounts are full of comparisons and denigration.

Some of them were ostensibly mocking Li Haorui, but in reality they were mocking Lu Ran.

With the barrage of attacks from marketing accounts, Cheng Yarui's fans, and Xingyao Media's online army, the discussion surrounding the topic has skyrocketed.

In addition, fans of groups like Huotuan and Jiang Yaofeng are also quietly adding fuel to the fire.

He had to find an opportunity to kick Lu Ran while he was down.

At Li Haorui's home.

Li Haorui sat on the sofa, his face full of worry.

He didn't dare look at his phone all day.

I just sit in the living room, either exercising or watching TV, just killing time.

Finally, Li Haorui couldn't resist and took out his phone to take a look.

Looking at it that way, he felt relieved.

As expected, he failed to defeat Cheng Yarui.

He opened the chat window with Lu Ran.

"I'm sorry, I sang badly."

Li Haorui sent out that message.

Lu Ran had never been defeated, but problems arose when it came to him. Li Haorui felt that the problem lay with him.

Not long after the message was sent, Lu Ran called.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Ran was still panting, and his voice sounded off. It was late at night, and he was panting heavily.

Li Haorui's thinking went astray.

Lu Ran's tone was stern: "Comrade Li, what do you mean by sending me this message? Are you trying to take all the blame yourself? Do you know what kind of behavior this is? This is an act of individual heroism that is undisciplined and lacks organization! This is a serious mistake of violating organizational principles and arbitrarily taking responsibility! This is a typical example of liberalism and individualism!"

Li Haorui was initially waiting for Lu Ran to criticize him, but something seemed off when he heard the end of the conversation.

This is criticism, yet it isn't criticism.

its not right.

When I was at Xingyao Media, whenever there were such poor data, the company would always ask me to find the reasons.

What does Lu Ran mean by this?
Li Haorui opened his mouth: "But I didn't beat Cheng Yarui."

Lu Ran's voice was solemn: "Competition on the literary and artistic front requires strategic resolve. Cheng Yarui's temporary lead is only a phase achievement. We need to look at the problem from a developmental perspective. Don't worry about it. Go do what you need to do. I can tell you in advance that we'll see tomorrow night."

Li Haorui's eyes lit up.

"Any other arrangements from the company?"

Lu Ran coughed twice: "You'll find out tomorrow."

After saying that, Lu Ran hung up the phone.

Li Haorui's mood improved considerably.

really!

Lu Ran has a backup plan!
I was saying, how could we possibly lose like this?

Director Lu is shrewd and calculating; he must be confident to say that.

At this moment, Li Haorui saw his wife sitting next to him.

My wife had clearly just taken a shower; she smelled of shower gel, her hair was tied up, and she was wearing a sexy slip dress that she never usually wore.

"What are you going to do?" Li Haorui asked.

His wife stared at Li Haorui and said softly, "Didn't Lu Ran just tell you to do what you were supposed to do? What did you say you were supposed to do?"

Li Haorui swallowed hard and said fiercely, "Damn it!"

Li Haorui slowly woke up from bed around 10 a.m. the next morning.

He was quite tired last night, which took a lot of his energy.

He woke up groggily, opened WeChat, and checked for any important messages.

Several friends sent him messages.

"Brother Rui, you're amazing! This song of yours is going to be a hit!"

"I'm truly impressed, how did you even think of that!"

"Your song is a perfect match for the Shenbao tablets commercial. I don't even want to skip the ads, it's hilarious!"

Li Haorui looked completely bewildered.

What? My song is going to be a hit?
What's the deal with the advertisement for Shenbao tablets?

He quickly messaged a friend to inquire about the situation.

This friend directly shared a video with me.

Li Haorui opened the video with a puzzled look. The video started playing, and the background music was "Steady Happiness".

This is clearly an advertisement!
In the scene, a man is taking a shower under the showerhead. The scene then changes to the man sitting on a sofa.

These images don't matter.

Sound is the key.

"After overwork, my lower back and legs ache, I feel lethargic, and my body feels completely drained."

This is a male voice.

"Is it because your kidneys are overworked?"

This is a woman's voice.

The woman in the picture is hugging the man from behind.

"I'm afraid I can no longer give her a stable happiness."

Just then, the scene shifted, and a box of medicine appeared on screen.

"Shenbao tablets contain 22 kinds of Chinese herbs. They warm and tonify the kidneys, strengthen the body's resistance, and consolidate the foundation. Only when the tonic is absorbed can the foundation be firmly established. They replenish what is depleted and provide a stable boost!"

As soon as the advertisement ended, the volume of the song increased.

"I want a stable happiness, one that I can touch with my own hands."

The advertising voice also started playing again.

"Liu Ren Shen Bao Pian (a traditional Chinese medicine formula), it benefits both him and me."

The video ends here.

Li Haorui's expression gradually froze.

What is this stuff?
How did my song become an advertisement for kidney tonic tablets?

How can it fit so perfectly?

Li Haorui sensed that something was very wrong.

He quickly inquired about his friend's situation.

"You don't know? You can see the ads for Shenbao tablets on TV, Douyin, and other video apps, especially on K-site. Some content creators insert ads in the middle of their videos. These creators don't even need to write ad scripts; they just put the original ad clips on, and nobody skips them."

"The ad just started airing today and hasn't really taken off yet. It's just popular on K-site right now. To be honest, the combination of your song and this ad is a bit bizarre."

"Brother Rui, you dare say you don't know? Your song is going to be a hit!"

After hearing his friend's story, Li Haorui also searched for it on K Station.

The advertisement video for Shenbao tablets was even edited together by netizens and became a trending topic.

The comments section and bullet screen were filled with silly jokes from netizens.

Li Haorui took another look at Penguin Music.

"A Steady Happiness" has risen to second place!
