This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 191 When I'm unlucky, I can only rely on my strength.
The scene was completely boiling over.

"Red Sun" is a lively song, and Lu Ran's performance conveyed the power contained in the song to all the audience.

The audience of "The Voice" is divided into age groups, and people of different ages are included.

The song "Red Sun" evokes different feelings in different people.

Young people who are still in school just think the song is catchy and has a positive attitude.

Older people with more life experience can understand the meaning of the lyrics.

It's okay to be repeatedly battered by fate; those who can still muster the courage to keep going are the strong ones in life.

Amidst the cheers of the entire audience, Fu Ziheng's heart was screaming wildly.

The most painful thing is that no matter how dissatisfied he is, he still has to applaud Lu Ran.

The camera is recording.

Everyone here is a respectable person. If he were to show any other expression on his face, given Mu Yong's personality, he would definitely have it edited into the final cut.

"What's going on? How could he write Cantonese songs?!"

Lu Ran's Cantonese singing is passable; it's something you can practice.

Writing Cantonese songs is a different story.

This song, "Red Sun," is not just a random Cantonese song; it is a masterpiece.

The song even matches Lu Ran's name.

It's easy to imagine that the audience feedback will be very positive after this episode airs.

Fu Ziheng only knew that the original Cantonese song he sang this time was far inferior to Lu Ran's "Red Sun".

After a while, the host went on stage and started the voting.

After the voting concludes, the commentary session will begin.

This time, the professional judging panel was very cautious.

"I think the lyrics of the song 'Red Sun' are very well written. It goes from the twists and turns of life to the childhood falls, then to walking together, step by step, and finally to the sublimation of emotions."

"I wonder if anyone noticed the vocal range of this song. Lu Ran was able to sing the whole song steadily while dancing. His singing skills are quite good."

When it was Hu Nengkai's turn, Lu Ran recognized the music critic at a glance.

That's him! He said last time that only by experiencing setbacks can one write good songs!
Director Lu hasn't forgotten; Director Lu remembers everything.

Hu Nengkai stood up excitedly, just like a fan seeing their idol.

Ever since he listened to Lu Ran's "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" last time, he has become like Lu Ran.

"Lu Ran, this song 'Red Sun' is still in your usual style, depicting setbacks and hardships, and encouraging listeners. I'd like to ask if this is a song from your album 'Ideal'?"

Lu Ran: "Yes."

Hu Nengkai said happily, "I knew it, this song fits the theme of your album perfectly."

He paused, then continued, "I thought you'd been having such a smooth run lately that you couldn't create any good songs anymore, but I didn't expect you to be able to write 'Red Sun.' Have you encountered too many setbacks in the past, and you still haven't finished writing it?"

The people around burst into laughter.

Lu Ran clenched his fists tightly.

This person is no ordinary music critic; we must strike hard!

Lu Ran laughed and said, "You can't say that. There's a saying: 'To struggle with the heavens is endless joy, to struggle with the earth is endless joy, to struggle with people is endless joy.' My inspiration comes from the process of struggle."

Hu Nengkai nodded, satisfied with the answer.

As expected of Director Lu, his answers to questions are truly insightful.

After the judges had finished speaking, the host announced, "Next, we will reveal the total number of votes for the challenger, Lu Ran!"

Then, the host read out the spoken advertisements.

After the commercial break, Lu Ran's final vote count was displayed on the big screen.

"446 votes."

In the singer's section, everyone looked at Fu Ziheng.

Fu Ziheng just received 431 votes.

Han Ye joked, "Ziheng, you've lost third place."

Ye Zhenzhen puffed out her chest and exclaimed, "This challenger is too strong!"

He killed Fu Ziheng in one fell swoop.

Fu Ziheng shook his head helplessly and spread his hands to indicate that he had no choice.

He was actually cursing in his mind.

"Mu Yong, you bastard, you definitely invited Lu Ran here on purpose." Fu Ziheng came here aiming for the championship, and Lu Ran has already disrupted his plans.

Mu Yong deliberately kept Lu Ran's identity a secret from him.

By this time, the performance on stage had been almost finished being recorded.

Under the guidance of the staff, everyone got up and went to the front and back stages.

Everyone needs to draw a theme for the next round of the competition.

According to the rules of "Voice of the Heart", each singer has to sing a different song with a different theme each episode, which needs to be drawn.

The singers gathered in the backstage recording room.

Lu Ran was among them.

Including him, there are a total of seven singers here, one of whom is going to be eliminated because he successfully challenged the other contestants.

The singer who is to be eliminated will also draw a theme, which they will then perform in the elimination singers special.

In the past, if someone were eliminated, they would probably cry a few times.

It's different now.

This singer has already made a name for himself on the show and is quite satisfied.

Anyway, even if he stays, the championship won't be his.

One by one, everyone reached into the box and took out an envelope.

The envelope was printed with the sponsor's advertisement, and inside was a card with the theme written on it.

Lu Ran ranked third in today's match, and he was the third to be drawn.

After opening the card, he showed its contents to the camera.

The words written on it were "family affection".

Han Ye smiled and said, "Family ties are a bit difficult."

In the entire pop music scene, there are relatively few songs about family affection, let alone Cantonese songs.

Most of the songs, to put it simply, are about love, about the things between men and women.

Han Ye drew a theme of spring, which has a wide range of applications.

You can write about love, friendship, or the passage of time.

Fu Ziheng also felt that the theme of family affection had too narrow a scope.

Among the popular Cantonese songs on the market, none of them are about family affection.

Moreover, Lu Ran also wanted to create original works.

Lu Ran didn't care; he already had a few songs in mind.

Then, Fu Ziheng, who ranked fourth in this round, went up to draw a theme.

He drew a love card.

Fu Ziheng smiled and said, "Looks like I'm in luck."

He has countless love-themed songs, and there just happens to be one original Cantonese love song in his library.

Fu Ziheng looked at Lu Ran with the card in his hand: "Lu Ran, it seems your luck isn't so good."

Lu Ran nodded: "That's right, so I can only rely on my own strength."

One sentence shut Fu Ziheng up.

After all the singers had drawn their names, the recording of the entire show ended.

Backstage, Lu Ran had just changed his clothes and stepped out when a staff member came up to him.

"Professor Lu Ran, Director Mu requests your presence."

"lead the way."

In Mu Yong's office, Lu Ran met with Mu Yong again.

Mu Yong got straight to the point: "Lu Ran, I won't interfere in your conflict with Xingyao Media. I'll just provide a stage. I won't say more. I'll give you the spot for the next challenger. You can choose the person."

Lu Ran said directly, "Just say you want Li Haorui to come and challenge us."

Mu Yong gave an awkward smile.

"Can you just say it's okay?"

Lu Ran: "Of course, we should make money if we can."
