This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 192 Brother Quan, you've actually been secretly studying!

For a variety show of the caliber of "The Voice of China," the appearance fee for one episode is quite high.

Making money while also competing with Star Media – that's double happiness!

Mu Yong's thinking was simpler.

Soon, Li Haorui will release the second song that Lu Ran wrote for him.

Given the current popularity of Shenbao tablets and Li Haorui's high profile, appearing on the show would definitely bring a huge influx of viewers to "Sound of the Heart".

As for Fu Ziheng being thoroughly beaten?

Could they even be utterly defeated by Lu Ran and Li Haorui together?
What does it have to do with him.

He's just a variety show director; as long as the show is entertaining, that's all that matters.

After leaving Mu Yong's place, Lu Ran and Li Quan returned to the hotel.

"Meng Yichuan just called me and said that all the preparations for the beginning are complete, and some scenes have already started filming. We'll hold a launch ceremony when you come back, and then we'll officially start filming."

Holding a launch ceremony is also a tradition for film crews.

In the days that followed, Lu Ran's main task was to finish filming "The Beginning" and then take time to participate in the recording of "Voice of the Heart".

Lu Ran: "When are we going back?"

Li Quan: "Don't you go to bed early and get up early? I booked a flight for tomorrow morning, so you can go for a run in the morning."

While the two were talking, Fu Ziheng returned to the hotel.

The beautiful woman who slept with him last night was wearing a Hanfu (traditional Han Chinese clothing) and had her hair up.

Upon seeing him enter, the beautiful woman immediately stepped forward to fawn over him.

This woman is also an insider in the industry and knows what she wants to get from Fu Ziheng.

"How was the game?" the woman asked.

Fu Ziheng shook his head. He noticed the woman's clothes and her exquisite classical makeup, which made him feel a surge of lust.

"Go into the bedroom and wait for me," Fu Ziheng said coldly.

The woman didn't say anything more, immediately ran into the bedroom, closed the door, and gave Fu Ziheng the space outside.

Fu Ziheng picked up his phone and called Cai Jiasheng.

After the call connected, Fu Ziheng said, "Dad, the guest challenger is Lu Ran."

Cai Jiasheng's tone turned serious: "What's going on?"

Fu Ziheng quickly recounted the recording of the day.

“I understand,” Cai Jiasheng said in a deep voice.

Fu Ziheng felt relieved after hearing this.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever he encountered difficulties in the entertainment industry, his father would simply say these four words to him, and the problems would be solved the next day.

Meanwhile, Cai Jiasheng was busy socializing at a club.

The private room was filled with wealthy patrons and several celebrities they had brought, both men and women.

For some big shots, celebrities in the industry have a certain status that makes them more desirable to conquer.

Cai Jiasheng has been in the entertainment industry for many years, growing from a small-time singer to a singing king, and now becoming a capital player. He is well aware of the rules in the industry.

He called his assistant and gave him instructions regarding Lu Ran's situation.

"Okay, Mr. Cai, I'll take care of it right away."

Li Quan is currently reading in the hotel, influenced by Lu Ran, making him feel that his previous knowledge reserves are insufficient.

My phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

Li Quan roughly guessed who had called.

Instead of answering the phone, he took out his phone and knocked on Lu Ran's door.

After Lu Ran opened the door for him, Li Quan walked in.

He put his phone on the table and pointed to the phone number on it.

"I guess this number belongs to Cai Jiasheng's lobbyist."

Lu Ran also became interested.

"You take it."

Li Quan proudly raised his chin and said smugly, "Let me see what kind of conditions he can offer."

He answered the phone and pressed speakerphone.

A man's voice came from the phone, clearly using a voice changer.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Quan: "Who are you?" The person on the phone changed the subject: "You don't need to know who I am. Do you have any dirt on Lu Ran? You don't need a lot, just enough to make Lu Ran withdraw from the recording of 'Voice of the Heart'. If you have any, I'll give you five million."

The smile on Li Quan's face froze instantly.

Five million is indeed a lot for him.

He hasn't earned five million after working for so many years.

However, even when faced with temptation, Li Quan still firmly stated, "Sorry, no."

After saying that, Li Quan hung up the phone immediately.

Lu Ran gave him a thumbs up.

Li Quan said with a pained expression, "Lu Ran, I turned down five million for you."

Lu Ran quickly stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense. Can you produce any dirt on me?"

Li Quan realized what was happening.

"That's true."

A while later, another call came in. This time, the caller ID showed the location as Beijing.

After Li Quan answered the call, Cai Jiasheng's voice came through.

"Mr. Li, I am Cai Jiasheng."

Li Quan said politely, "Mr. Cai, hello, hello, I've heard so much about you."

Cai Jiasheng smiled and said, "When are you free? Let's have some tea together."

Cai Jiasheng doesn't discuss matters over the phone.

Li Quan didn't bother with any more words and refused outright.

"Mr. Cai, I know why you're looking for me, but I'm sorry I can't help you. According to Article 17 of the Regulations on the Administration of Performance Agents, performance agents should safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of actors in accordance with the law during performance brokerage activities, remind and urge actors to strictly abide by laws and regulations, adhere to professional ethics, and establish a good social image."

Cai Jiasheng was stunned when he heard Li Quan's words.

You actually abide by these management regulations?

How many agents in your industry actually work according to the management regulations?

"So there's nothing to talk about?" Cai Jiasheng said coldly.

Li Quan chuckled and said, "Fair competition, fair competition."

Cai Jiasheng hung up the phone immediately.

Lu Ran asked, "Will you contact me again?"

Li Quan shook his head: "No, they only came to me because they knew it was useless to come to you."

Lu Ran's character is widely recognized in the industry.

Lu Ran patted Li Quan on the shoulder: "Brother Quan, you've actually been secretly studying lately."

Li Quan laughed heartily and said smugly, "Learning by doing!"

On the other side, Cai Jiasheng looked gloomy.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Lu Ran, but he felt that Lu Ran's existence was a dangerous factor.

This person is completely out of place in today's entertainment industry and is impossible to control.

Cai Jiasheng then called Mu Yong.

After the call connected, Mu Yong said directly, "President Cai, I really can't help you with this. I've already told the sponsors about signing Lu Ran. The sponsors who came later came because of Lu Ran. I can't do anything behind the scenes unless Lu Ran himself is less skilled."

Cai Jiasheng hung up the phone after hearing the message.

Mu Yong said irritably, "Using people is one thing, but not using them is another. What kind of nonsense is this?"

Cai Jiasheng's face was filled with anger.

He then made another call to his assistant.

"Have Cheng Yarui come to the company tomorrow, I need to go to the company tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Cai."

The next day, Lu Ran and his companion returned to Qin City.

In the afternoon, the entire crew of "The Beginning" gathered for a simple opening ceremony.

The official Weibo account of "The Beginning" also announced the start of filming.

This has left netizens completely confused.

Everyone almost forgot that Lu Ran has a new drama to film.

But you're only turning on your computer now, isn't that a bit late?
