This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 193 Many thanks to Director Lu for his cultivation
When Lu Ran held a fan representative meeting, he made a promise to his fans that he would release a web series starring him before the end of the year.

The end of the year is just a few months away.

"Judging from the timing, this drama will definitely be rushed to completion."

"You wouldn't sacrifice quality just to rush the production, would you?"

"That's good enough. If this show really is going to be released before the end of the year, we'll set it to start airing on December 31st. That'll count as a year-end release. Even so, the timeframe is still tight."

"It would be good if it could be launched by the end of the year; don't expect anything else."

It's normal for netizens to have such thoughts.

Based on the filming speed of other production crews, it was indeed impossible to complete.

Lu Ran's fans have a slightly different opinion.

"The beginning is Lu Ting's first web series, so he definitely won't do anything reckless."

"Lu Ran always keeps his word. The fact that filming has only started now can only mean that the production team has other arrangements."

"It's hard to believe that this show will be released before the end of the year, but hasn't Director Lu been creating miracles all along?"

As marketing accounts continue to generate buzz and attract attention, more and more netizens are participating in the discussion.

Netizens discussed the issue extensively, and some industry insiders also shared their opinions.

In the end, everyone came to a roughly unified conclusion.

That means the filming of "The Beginning" will inevitably be rushed, and the quality of the final film will be at risk.

The problem lies with the promise Lu Ran made at the fan meeting.

Within Xingyao Media.

After learning that filming for "The Beginning" had started, Ren Xin quickly reported the matter to Guo Weicheng.

When Guo Weicheng heard that filming for "The Beginning" had only just started, he burst into laughter.

"Since the filming of the drama is only starting now, we won't wait any longer. We can start promoting Jiang Yixuan's drama now."

Guo Weicheng's original plan was to use Jiang Yixuan's drama to compete with "The Beginning".

Although Jiang Yixuan's film was unsuccessful during the National Day holiday, it doesn't matter.

At worst, we can just stop making movies for a while.

It's worth noting that Jiang Yixuan rose to the top of the entertainment industry primarily through urban idol dramas.

Many netizens still occasionally mention the male lead played by Jiang Yixuan back then.

As long as Jiang Yixuan continues to act in contemporary idol dramas, he is guaranteed to have a large audience.

This time, Jiang Yixuan is starring in a contemporary romance drama called "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too".

This drama is the grand finale of Orange Video's annual series this year, and everyone has high expectations for it.

It's perfect time to start the promotion and marketing campaign; the broadcast time depends on Lu Ran's speed.

If "The Beginning" can be broadcast smoothly, then we'll fight it; if it can't be broadcast smoothly, then it doesn't deserve to be a rival to Star Glory Media.

Subsequently, various news items about the drama "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too" appeared on major online platforms.

Promotional posters, stills, and even sweet photos of the male and female leads are constantly bombarding the audience's eyes.

Among them, Jiang Yixuan's fans were the most enthusiastic.

"Congratulations to Jiang Yixuan on his return to modern romance dramas. He will surely bring us classic roles."

"Ahhh, this poster is making my mouth water, it's so cool!"

"The present is not Jiang Yixuan's comfort zone, it is Jiang Yixuan's territory!"

"Jiang Yixuan has returned in triumph, now the OG server is trembling in fear!"

"I Want to See You Tomorrow Too" is just the initial warm-up; it's not time for a real, large-scale promotion yet.

Lu Ran completely ignored these online reports.

He's busy filming.

The film crew rented a factory and used a large LED screen to build four walls, which then surrounded the bus.

The large screen displayed the scenery of Meng Yichuan and his team taking samples outside.

Basically, all the scenes inside the bus were filmed here.

Each time filming restarts, the staff controlling the large screen have to adjust the video playback back to ensure that the scenery outside the car window is the same each time, to avoid any continuity errors.

That evening, Lu Ran returned to the hotel.

He made a phone call to Sun Shengqiang, the principal of Yangguang Primary School.

The call was answered quickly.

"Principal Sun, is now a convenient time?"

“It’s convenient. I also have something to tell you. Many netizens have contacted me through the Sunshine Choir’s account, wanting to come and teach at our school. We already have three volunteer teachers here, so we don’t need any more teachers right now.” Sun Shengqiang’s tone was very happy.

"That's not bad, it means our work is effective. Do we have a music teacher yet?"

Sun Shengqiang: "Now there is a music teacher."

"That's good. I have a children's song here for you. You can have the music teacher teach the children to learn it. I'll send the song out in a few days."

Upon hearing about the new song, Sun Shengqiang's eyes lit up.

Soon, Lu Ran sent him the song file.

The song is called "Planting the Sun".

Sun Shengqiang stared at the song title, lost in thought.

Planting the sun? What kind of sun?

In this weather, who would dare to plant a sunflower?
Hou Yi's efforts back then were all for nothing!

Lu Ran, Lu Ran, you don't just want to burn anymore!
You want to make everyone die of heat!

However, after reading the lyrics, they were quite positive and uplifting.

Sun Shengqiang didn't think much of it and planned to give it to the school's music teacher the next day.

Lu Ran plans to release the song "Planting the Sun" after the drama "Red Sun" premieres.

On one side is "Red Sun", and on the other side is "Planting the Sun".

After arranging this matter, Lu Ran received a message from Li Haorui.

“Director Lu, Cheng Ya Rui is coming on strong this time.”

"what happened?"

"Didn't you see the news online? Cheng Yarui's new song was written by Cai Jiasheng, and a whole bunch of top singers are promoting it, including the King and Queen of Singers."

Lu Ran searched online.

Sure enough, Cheng Yarui's promotion this time was even stronger than last time.

A whole host of big stars in the music industry have posted on Weibo to promote this new song.

In addition, some industry insiders, top producers, songwriters, and well-known music critics are also promoting it.

"I've already listened to Cheng Yarui's new song, and I can only say one word: amazing! The collaboration between Cai Jiasheng and Cheng Yarui is truly impressive."

"I thought Cai Ge Wang had become rusty after not writing for the past few years, but I didn't expect her to be as sharp as ever. I can only say that Cheng Ya Rui's song is a must-listen!"

"Other singers should avoid this song if they can; there's no need to go up there and risk their lives. This song is invincible."

The praise from some music critics has already whetted the appetite of netizens.

In addition, there are also advertisements on music apps, and a large number of advertisements on video platforms such as Douyin and K-Station.

There's also a trending topic on Weibo: "Half of the entertainment industry is waiting for Cheng Yarui's new song."

Clearly, Cheng Yarui had learned her lesson this time, and she didn't underestimate her opponent; she made thorough preparations.

As for these music stars also promoting it, that's Cai Jiasheng's network.

Having been in the music industry for so many years, asking for help to promote something is just a matter of a word.

However, Lu Ran had seen this kind of thing many times in the entertainment industry.

How many movies have used all sorts of promotional tactics to generate hype before their release, only to flop completely?

Ultimately, publicity is just a supplementary means.

Even the best wine needs advertising; if it's a pile of shit, don't bother trying to sell it.

He sent a message to Li Haorui.

"Are you afraid?"

Li Haorui replied quickly.

"It's not that we're afraid, it's just that we should despise the enemy strategically, but take them seriously tactically."

Under Lu Ran's influence, Li Haorui has also started reading and studying, and his cultural level has improved.

"Don't be afraid. I have some good news for you. You've been chosen as the challenger for the next episode of 'Voice of the Heart'."

After the message was sent, Li Haorui immediately made a phone call.

As soon as the call connected, he exclaimed in shock, "Director Lu, why are you asking me to be a challenger singer?"

Lu Ran explained about the spot Mu Yong had given him, and said earnestly, "Comrade Li, you still can't hit the high notes. I think your status needs to rise."

Li Haorui immediately said, "Thank you for your guidance, Director Lu!"
