This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 251 Black Pineapple!
After the announcement, the live stream officially ended.

A large number of viewers came across this live stream throughout the day.

"I'm really impressed. I didn't watch Lu Ting's live stream the whole time, but no matter when I clicked in, he was always eating."

"I feel sorry for Sister Xingchu, she's going to gain weight."

"Don't feel sorry for Lin Xingchu, look how happy she is eating."

"Can this be called Lingnan culture? Can this be called Lingnan cuisine?"

"Comrades, stop talking. Anyone want to go to Lingnan Cultural Park tonight?"

"Yes, I'm already getting ready to go."

After the live stream ended, some marketing accounts edited together the content to gain traffic.

On the other side, Fu Ziheng was also watching the live broadcast.

Lu Ran's first day of his Lingnan cultural tour went well, but that was about it.

It would be unusual if four celebrities didn't have some influence when they did a live stream together on Douyin.

But if you think you can compete with "Voice of the Heart" in this way, that's just wishful thinking.

This made Fu Ziheng feel slightly relieved.

Singing, especially Cantonese songs, requires exposure; it's not about becoming famous just by singing one song.

Even a top singer won't have a particularly popular new song if their company doesn't promote it.

"Voice of the Heart" is essentially a stage for performing music.

If Lu Ran wants to promote his music, he can only rely on the Douyin platform.

On the Douyin platform, traffic isn't something you can just get whenever you want.

Regardless of what original songs Lu Ran sings, or what original songs other singers sing, you won't become famous without exposure.

In the afternoon, everyone was focused on practicing singing in their hotel rooms.

When it was almost time, the group ate something simple and then headed to the Lingnan Cultural Park.

With a flick of their wrists, Lu Ran and the others promoted tonight's event.

The number of visitors to Lingnan Cultural Park has increased significantly today.

At 8 p.m., Lu Ran's live stream on Douyin officially started.

The live stream was directed at an open space, and judging from the image quality, the equipment had clearly been changed; even though it was nighttime, the image was still very clear.

As soon as the live stream started, a large number of viewers flooded in.

"I'm here! I didn't have time to go to the event, so I'm just here in the live stream."

"Come listen to Lu Ting's new song!"

"I'd also like to appreciate the Lingnan culture."

Within just a few minutes, tens of thousands of people entered the live stream room.

The staff at Lingnan Cultural Park were stunned when they saw this scene.

That's the power of celebrities.

Just start a live stream, and before you even show your face, you already have tens of thousands of viewers.

Even at the peak of their scenic area, the number of spectators never exceeded 10,000.

The performances here feature many local Lingnan specialties, as well as some popular national programs.

For performers, the more audience members they have, the more passionate they become.

People across the country and in many cities clicked into the live stream.

Soon, the host took the microphone and walked to the center of the open space.

"Hello everyone, welcome to our Lingnan Cultural Park."

Looking at the dense crowd around him, the host became a little nervous.

From the crowd, someone shouted, "Where's Lu Ran?"

The host laughed and said, "Lu Ran will be out in a moment."

Just by listening to that, you could tell that many people at the scene had come specifically for Lu Ran.

"Next, please enjoy the performance from our Lingnan Cultural Park."

With the host's guidance, the performance officially began.

They have performances like Cantonese opera and lion dance.

In the live stream, some viewers from other places who had never seen these things before took this opportunity to learn about them.

Backstage, Lin Xingchu sat in a chair, humming the song she was about to sing.

As a professional singer, she doesn't care about the size of the stage.

No matter what stage it is, you must take it seriously.

At this moment, Lu Ran walked over and placed a black pineapple in front of Lin Xingchu.

"Take this with you when you go on stage to sing later."

Lin Xingchu looked at the black pineapple with a puzzled expression in her eyes.

"Why would I bring this when I'm singing?"

The black color of this pineapple is actually dyed on.

"After all, it's a new song release, so we need to take a slightly unconventional approach. We'll find some buzz for you, so just take it without worrying about it."

Lin Xingchu asked uncertainly, "What could possibly be a topic like this?"

Lu Ran: "Don't worry, there will be plenty of topics to talk about."

After a while, the performance on stage ended.

A staff member ran over and said, "Teacher Lin, it's your turn to go on stage."

Lin Xingchu smiled and nodded.

She glanced at the pineapple on the table and picked it up.

A pineapple in one hand and a microphone in the other.

At that moment, in the square outside, the host announced, "Next up is Lin Xingchu, please give him a round of applause!"

The surrounding audience applauded.

The number of comments in the live stream room immediately increased.

Music critic Hu Nengkai was also leaning back in his ergonomic chair, watching the live stream on his phone.

Upon hearing that it was Lin Xingchu who was going on stage, he immediately straightened his upper body.

"Good heavens, you're letting the Queen of Pop make a move right from the start? You're really not taking me, Queen Lin, seriously at all!"

Do you know that Lin Xingchu can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan for just one song?

Now, coming here to sing is just like a charity performance in the countryside.

Even the clothes Lin Xingchu was wearing weren't performance costumes; they were just everyday clothes, very down-to-earth. The viewers in the live stream were also very entertained.

"This scene reminds me of the Heart-to-Heart charity performance!"

"The rural cultural performance really captured the essence of the place!"

"What's wrong with Director Lu taking singers to perform in the countryside!"

"I have a question. What is that black thing in Sister Lin's hand?"

At this moment, the camera zoomed in on Lin Xingchu.

Lin Xingchu picked up the black pineapple and said somewhat speechlessly, "Everyone may be curious as to why I brought this up on stage. I don't know why either. It's a black pineapple that Lu Ran just gave to me and told me to bring it up."

Hu Nengkai also looked puzzled.

Pineapples are grown in many parts of Guangdong Province and are considered a local specialty fruit.

If you want to promote pineapples, that's fine, but isn't it a bit too abrupt to just bring up pineapples directly?
At this moment, Lin Xingchu smiled and said, "Next, I will sing a new Cantonese song for everyone. The song is called 'I Like You.' I hope you will like it."

There was cheering all around.

Just then, Lin Xingchu suddenly realized something was wrong.

"I like you, Black Pineapple?"

She really wanted to slap herself right now.

Why did I have to think of this now? It's all over, there's no going back!

"I Like You" is an original song by Beyond, released in 1988.

Later, it was covered by G.E.M. on the show "I Am a Singer," and it had a different feel to it.

Since we're all in Guangdong, let me start by playing Black Pineapple!

At that moment, live music started playing.

Lin Xingchu began to sing slowly amidst a beautiful prelude.

"A light rain, carried by the wind, soaks the streets at dusk; wiping away the raindrops, my eyes inexplicably gaze upwards."

The sound system at the venue was far inferior to that on variety shows, but even so, Lin Xingchu still sang very beautifully.

In the live stream, lyrics subtitles were provided to prevent viewers who don't understand Cantonese from not being able to understand.

As Hu Nengkai listened to the song, he gradually became immersed in enjoying it.

Just then, the chorus begins.

I love you. Your eyes are captivating, and your laughter is even more enchanting. I wish we could meet again!

"Gently caressing your lovely face, hand in hand whispering in my sleep~"

"Like yesterday, you and me~"

Hu Nengkai also noticed something was wrong.

Goodness, the very first line of the lyrics is about black pineapple!
In the live stream, a group of silly netizens also figured it out.

"Now I understand why they chose the black pineapple!"

"I strongly suspect that Director Lu wrote this song specifically to criticize pineapple!"

"Sister Lin, just laugh! If you really can't hold it in, just laugh it out!"

The netizens, known for their silly antics, were starting to lose their composure.

It's clearly a beautiful love song, but Lin Xingchu is singing it while holding a black pineapple, which is quite inappropriate.

Moreover, judging from Lin Xingchu's expression, it was obvious that he also realized what Black Pineapple meant.

"I would call her the Pineapple Queen, Lin Xingchu!"

"Sister Lin, stay away from Lu Ran. This guy will do anything to make Ge Huo!"

"The title 'Pineapple Queen' is great!"

Backstage, Li Haorui silently mourned for a second.

Finally, someone else fell to Lu Ran's hands; he was no longer alone.

That's how he got caught up in the Shenbao pill trap last time.

At that moment, he saw Lu Ran next to him holding a sanxian (a three-stringed plucked instrument) and plucking the strings with his hand.

Li Haorui: "Why did you take out the sanxian?"

Lu Ran: "After you finish singing, I want to go on stage and perform too."

Li Haorui was a little confused.

You didn't say you were going to go on stage, did you?
Lu Ran: "Don't worry about it. Just focus on singing your song. You have to believe that everything I do is for everyone's benefit."

Li Haorui had a bad feeling.

You're doing this for everyone's benefit, but there's a problem with your approach!

However, Li Haorui quickly realized it wasn't a big deal, since he wasn't singing any serious songs anyway.

By this time, Lin Xingchu had finished singing.

There will be a metal flower performance outside later, and Li Haorui will go on stage after that.

The performance of "iron flower" involves heating pig iron into molten iron and then striking the molten iron with a flower stick.

This intangible cultural heritage originated from the Henan and Shanxi regions. Because it is highly entertaining, it is now performed in many tourist attractions.

In the live broadcast room, viewers watched as the molten iron was struck and sparks flew everywhere, like a thousand trees blooming in the east wind at night, which aroused their admiration.

"Our Chinese culture has a long history and has left behind many wonderful things."

"This iron-fire display is truly beautiful!"

"The Koreans aren't here. If they were, they would definitely say this is theirs."

Originally, this performance required the construction of a flower shed, through which molten iron would pass and shoot into the sky, creating a dazzling display of fire and silver flowers.

However, due to limited conditions here, no flower shed was built.

Even the scattered sparks are quite beautiful.

After the masters finished their iron-making performance, they all left the stage.

At this moment, instead of the host going on stage, Li Haorui walked directly onto the stage with the microphone.

"Hello friends from Guangdong Province, I am Li Haorui."

After he finished speaking, the audience cheered, and some even called him "Kidney Bro".

Li Haorui smiled and said, "Next, I'll be performing a new Cantonese song called 'Guardian of Flowers'."

Upon hearing this, the audience who had just finished watching the iron flower performance couldn't sit still.

What do you want to do?

Are they protecting wrought iron flowers?
