This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 180 Did Lu Ran take some kidney tonic pills?
In the story, Changfeng's actions are to constantly obstruct Bai Yuan's main storyline. From Bai Yuan's perspective, he doesn't want to go back.

It's understandable that Jiang Haoxing would say such a thing.

He just wanted to vent a bit during the live stream; otherwise, he just had to get it off his chest.

After saying that, he felt better.

However, once the live stream ended, the marketing accounts swarmed out.

These past few days, Lu Ran's popularity in the drama has almost overshadowed that of the male lead, so it's understandable that Jiang Haoxing is unhappy.

This gave marketing accounts a chance to seize on the topic and release related videos.

At the hotel, Jiang Haoxing was scolded by his agent.

"Who told you to say that? You could have just told me in private. Why did you say it in the live stream? This is a live stream, there are so many people watching."

Jiang Haoxing was still unconvinced, but he had to admit it.

"The company is helping you mitigate the impact, so be careful. Lu Ran is going to be a hot topic, so you need to keep up appearances," the agent said irritably.

Zhang Tao obtained the data for "The Song of the Clear Sky" from Tencent Video.

He frowned as he looked at the data.

The growth rate of viewership has slowed down.

Zhang Tao inquired in detail about his subordinates' situation.

“Some of the new viewers came from watching related videos on K-site and short video platforms, but these people came for Lu Ran. After finding out that Lu Ran is not the male lead, they only watched the parts with Lu Ran and most of them stopped watching.”

"What's going on?" Zhang Tao continued to ask.

After figuring out the situation, Zhang Tao frowned.

Unexpectedly, the initial promotion was done through Jiang Haoxing, but now the audience only watches Lu Ran.

Moreover, Jiang Haoxing has too many negative news stories these days.

Zhang Tao ultimately made the decision.

"Adjust the publicity angle, transfer Jiang Haoxing's resources to Lu Ran, use Lu Ran for publicity, use his outstanding performance in the drama for publicity, we have to deceive the audience to come in."

Once you're here, you're a member; once you're here, you can play.

A while later, Xue Huimin called Zhang Tao.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the publicity resources allocated to Jiang Haoxing have been reduced and are being reallocated to Lu Ran? Lu Ran is just a minor supporting character, isn't it inappropriate to allocate them to him?"

Zhang Tao's tone was indifferent.

"Let's not talk about whether it's appropriate or not now. If the viewership drops any further, this show will lose even the most basic dignity!"

This is an S-level web series, with a huge amount of resources invested in it from start to finish.

Don't be fooled by the endless stream of trending topics online; this is just the surface.

Zhang Tao himself knew that this drama was a failure!

This dazzling facade created with money will be exposed as nothing once the promotional resources stop.

Because this audience wasn't attracted by the quality of the show itself.

Continuing to rely on Jiang Haoxing for publicity will only make the audience dislike it more, and they won't want to click on the page at all.

Using Lu Ran for promotion at least gets some viewers to click in.

Xue Huimin wanted to explain, but she couldn't handle Tencent Video.

Tencent Video is going to make money!
After hanging up the phone, Xue Huimin said angrily, "It's that Lu Ran again! Wherever he goes, life becomes unbearable!"

It was evening in the alley between the two buildings.

Lu Ran held a short dagger in his hand, while Pang Yuntian held an extendable baton.

Both weapons are props, coated with metallic paint to make them look like metal, but they are actually made of wood.

A group of people surrounded them, and cameras were pointed at the two of them.

Lu Ran was covered in blood.

After four days of filming, the fight scene between him and Pang Yuntian in the alley was finally filmed.

After filming the last scene, Lu Ran and Pang Yuntian went to the monitor to watch the playback.

Pang Yuntian exclaimed excitedly, "It's done, no problem!"

He then shouted, "Congratulations to Lu Ran on wrapping up filming!"

Pang Yuntian led the applause, and the surrounding staff also applauded.

After filming this action scene, everyone gained a clear understanding of Lu Ran's strength.

Despite his young age, this actor is just as talented as those with extensive experience.

Especially this fight scene, it was very well done. "Lu Ran, go change your clothes," Pang Yuntian said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Lu Ran turned and left.

Filming this fight scene these past few days has been quite uncomfortable.

Martial arts actors are generally not in good physical condition and often have some injuries.

Lu Ran finally understood where these injuries came from.

When he fought with Pang Yuntian, Pang Yuntian would accidentally hit him with the stick in his hand.

This is inevitable.

Even though it's a wooden stick, it still hurts.

This will leave a scar.

Fortunately, he has a physical condition repair card, which directly repairs his body after use, so he doesn't need to worry about this issue.

After he finished showering and changing his clothes, Pang Yuntian and the others set up a table on the set, with drinks and a cake on it.

Pang Yuntian smiled and said, "I'll give you a simple wrap-up ceremony."

"Brother Tian, ​​thank you very much," Lu Ran said with a smile.

Pang Yuntian laughed and said, "It's no big deal, let's cut the cake."

At this moment, Lu Ran heard a system notification.

"Congratulations, host, on completing your first action movie character creation. You have gained 100 acting experience points, 100 comprehensive martial arts experience points, and a movie gift pack."

"Experience points have been automatically added. Do you wish to open the movie gift pack?"

Lu Ran: "No."

He plans to wait until he returns to Qincheng before opening it.

However, according to his estimation, the rewards obtained from these triggers are basically all related to what he does.

This movie gift pack will most likely contain action or kung fu movies.

After Lu Ran cut the cake and distributed it to everyone, he gave Li Quan a piece and kept one for himself.

While eating cake, Li Quan told Lu Ran about the situation online.

"It's a good thing that the promotion for 'Sunny Sky Song' is now focused on you. Jiang Haoxing's attitude isn't very good, but it doesn't matter. We didn't actively try to put you down; it's all spontaneous from netizens."

"I've filmed some behind-the-scenes footage of you these past few days, and I'd like to post it online to promote your action scenes."

Lu Ran thought about it and realized that it was quite necessary to promote his fighting skills, which would also be a way to promote "Black Tide".

Previously, he had only shown off his skills with a long spear in public, along with a short clip in "The Song of the Clear Sky," so his skill level wasn't apparent.

This scene from "Kuroshio" is where the real skill lies.

On Earth, this fight scene is considered a textbook example of action.

The footage he filmed with Pang Yuntian is no less impressive than anything on Earth.

Moreover, he's skilled in combat, capable of fighting, and can even make petty scoundrels become polite and respectful upon meeting him.

After returning home that evening, Li Quan gave Lu Ran some of the edited footage.

Lu Ran checked the video and, finding no problems, posted it on Weibo.

"A work update for all my fans: Under the guidance of director Pang Yuntian, I recently completed the filming of key action scenes for the movie 'Black Tide,' in which I play the assassin Awen. The film is expected to be released at the end of the year. I've attached a behind-the-scenes clip, so please look forward to it. I'd also like to recommend the song 'Steady Happiness,' wishing everyone can find their own steady happiness on their journey of struggle."

There was no prior publicity about Lu Ran's role in "Black Tide," and everyone only found out after this Weibo post was published.

Fans clicked into the video to take a look.

The video contains clips of Lu Ran and Pang Yuntian fighting.

Pang Yuntian is a household name; he is a famous martial arts star.

In the video, Lu Ran and Pang Yuntian fought back and forth, with some moves so fast that they couldn't react in time.

Even if it's just filming, it's already quite remarkable.

The fans were stunned.

"So Director Lu is this good at fighting?"

"I saw him handling guns before, and I thought he was just playing around. Is he really good at it?"

"Am I seeing things? Why do I feel like Director Lu could take on three of me?"

"This person definitely took some kidney-tonifying pills!"
