This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 261 Down-to-earth Investment Promotion
Under the official Weibo accounts of "Voice of the Heart" and "Penguin Video," a group of silly netizens expressed their gratitude.

We must thank you, and we must thank you every single day!

There are already tens of thousands of comments under just one Weibo post.

In the morning, Mu Yong was busy in the captivating studio.

In a few days, the singers who will be competing in the finals will come to the venue for rehearsals.

Mu Yong is now working like a laborer, taking it one day at a time.

Lu Ran had already left, and he no longer cared about right or wrong.

At that moment, a staff member ran up to him and whispered, "Director Mu, President Gu is here to see you."

Mu Yong was delighted when he heard this.

Lu Ran was praised by special media. You know you should come to me now. What were you doing before?

"Okay, I see."

Mu Yong put down his work and went straight to his office.

After a while, the official Weibo account of Shengdongren released a statement.

"Recently, rumors about the program's executives obstructing contestant Li Haorui's return are seriously inconsistent with the facts. Mr. Li Haorui has decided not to participate in the subsequent recordings after consulting with the program team due to adjustments in his personal development plans. Mr. Lu Ran will not participate in the subsequent recordings due to scheduling conflicts caused by his personal activities."

The production team has always adhered to the principles of fairness and openness, respecting all contestants' artistic choices, and thanks the audience for their support of the program.

This statement was issued by Mu Yong at the request of Gu Yaohui.

There are more and more people criticizing him online now.

At first, no one named him, but some entertainment gossip account exposed his name. Now, netizens are calling him out by name.

Gu Yaohui couldn't stand this injustice.

When he went out to attend business events, the way people looked at him changed.

Mu Yong didn't care; let them send it if they want.

Whether netizens believe it or not is another matter.

As expected, netizens continued to criticize after the statement was released.

However, because the comments section was set to feature prominently, netizens weren't satisfied with their criticism.

However, this moving statement still made it to the top of the trending searches.

"You guys don't want Brother Kidney, that's why Brother Kidney changed his plans."

"I really have to say something on behalf of Brother Shen. To this day, we still don't know who wants Brother Shen to leave. It's so hard to guess."

"This statement is a bit like trying to hide something obvious."

At this time, Fu Ziheng dared not make any changes to his Weibo account.

He's afraid that if he shows his face now, he'll become the target of netizens' attacks.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran and his group were live-streaming on Shake.com.

They went to Jiangmen today.

With time running out, Lu Ran and his group decided to embark on a special forces-style tour.

Eat at the local restaurants, visit the tourist attractions, and then move on to the next stop.

After the morning live stream ended, Lu Ran checked the online situation.

The entertainment industry is in complete chaos these days.

One group of people are criticizing Zhang Ruiang, another group is criticizing Tencent Video, and yet another group is praising the Great Wall and the Song of a Thousand Songs.

Even under the influence of external factors such as "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", "A Thousand Songs" still gained a large audience.

Once the studio recording version is officially released, it will definitely gain Wang Jiayue a wave of fans.

These timeless classic songs are a singer's retirement insurance.

Lu Ran gave this song to Wang Jiayue, also with the idea of ​​nurturing Wang Jiayue.

Burning Studio is bound to produce several singing kings and queens in the future.

After reading the online information, Lu Ran chatted with Li Quan about the Hong Kong performance.

With the help of the responsible person who shakes his hands, they have fewer things to deal with.

Lu Ran only had one requirement for the stage: it had to be set by the sea.

Li Quan said, "The sponsors on Douyin said they can put up four."

The advertisements from these four sponsors can be placed directly below the stage, maximizing their exposure.

Like the billboards on the microphone, other small billboards are dominated by shaky hands.

They bought the exclusive live streaming rights and also provided the stage; they should definitely get some benefits.

Advertising in other places is meaningless.

"Four it is. We are openly soliciting sponsors with no restrictions on conditions, but we will strictly vet the identities of the sponsors."

Lu Ran shared his thoughts with Li Quan.

The whole process is that if you want to sponsor, you just send your materials to the email address, and once it's approved, that's it.

This is the surface process.

In fact, Lu Ran wanted to see if any ordinary people with the guts would also invest in his materials.

It doesn't have to be a chain brand; sponsorship from small restaurants or the like is fine too.

He doesn't plan to give this advertising space to big brands.

Small restaurants can get sponsorships as long as they are bold enough and pass the review; they only need to collect a symbolic sponsorship fee.

This is what a down-to-earth advertisement should be like.

Li Quan was stunned after hearing Lu Ran's idea.

Wow, you can even use ad space like this?

"What if we don't have those ordinary shop investment materials?" Li Quan asked.

"If you don't have any, that's fine. We'll just sell our advertising space to big brands."

Lu Ran didn't want to bring this up.

If he said it directly, more people would vote, and there wouldn't be enough advertising space to go around.

So it's up to someone bold enough to advertise for him; consider it a lucky draw prize.

It doesn't matter if no one votes.

Soon after, Burning Studio posted a Weibo post.

"The grand finale of Lu Ran's Lingnan Cultural Tour is about to shine in Hong Kong, and four advertising slots are now open."

The article also outlines the current achievements of the Lingnan Cultural Tour, which is something to mention when attracting investment.

However, it's pointless to say all this now. With the help of special media, last night's performance has already garnered over 100 million views across the internet today.

The exposure from the grand finale will only be higher than this.

Now netizens can easily guess that Lu Ran will definitely have a new song to sing on the final stage.

Whenever Lu Ran sings a new song, he inevitably gets a lot of exposure.

The next part explains what documents are required and the email address to send them to.

When this Weibo post was first published, it was fine; the comments were mostly silly and absurd.

"Director Lu has been eating and drinking at his own expense all the way, and he's finally made some money."

"Let Director Lu earn some money. I just saw a news report that said a beast like Zhang Ruiang can earn millions a year. I find it disgusting."

“I’m not envious at all of Director Lu’s profits.”

After a while, things started to go wrong in the comments section.

"Oh dear, I thought the Lingnan Culture Tour was a charity performance, but it turns out it's just a way to make money."

"Fake charity, real money-making; once the hype builds, they start soliciting sponsorships."

"Four advertising slots, the advertising fees alone are more than you'd earn from participating in one episode of a variety show."

"They say they're doing charity work, but they're actually doing business."

These are all Lu Ran's haters and rivals.

After today's events, Lu Ran gained a huge number of haters.

Aside from fans of Lu Ran's rivals, the composition of the remaining anti-fans is more complex.

This positive role model must be smeared.

Lu Ran's fans are getting anxious.

"Where did this idiot come from? What's wrong with Lu Ran making some money? So many celebrities in the entertainment industry can make money even if they can't act. You guys are criticizing Lu Ran for making money through his own abilities."

"The performance doesn't cost the audience any money, and the online live stream is all free to watch. Lu Ran hasn't offered any tips or accepted any commercial orders since the live stream started, so it's normal for him to charge some advertising fees for this final performance."

"Even if Director Lu doesn't want money, Brother Shen, Wang Jiayue, and Empress Lin still have to make some money, right?"

The group started arguing again.

However, Burning Studio did not close the comment section at all. Let people say what they want, just do your own thing.

At this moment, in a small restaurant in Qincheng.

This small restaurant is called Qincheng Xiaochu, and it's run by a husband and wife team. The man's name is Xiong Jie, and the woman's name is Hao Chun.

Their restaurant isn't large, but it's clean and tidy.

The kitchen is also transparent, so you can clearly see what's inside.

Business at this shop hasn't been good lately, and Xiong Jie and his wife have been worried about it for a long time.

The hotel's sound system was playing Lu Ran's song "Sailor".

Xiong Jie is in his thirties and is a fan of Lu Ran.

It was past lunchtime, and the restaurant was empty. Xiong Jie was sitting in a chair playing on his phone.

After browsing Weibo for a while, he came across the Weibo account of Burning Studio.

As a fan of Lu Ran, he naturally followed the Weibo account of Burning Studio.

After seeing this Weibo post, Xiong Jie said to his wife Hao Chun, "How much does this advertising space cost? If our restaurant could put up ads here, wouldn't we never have to worry about business?"

Hao Chun slapped Xiong Jie on the head.

"Are you dreaming? You think you can get this kind of ad? Only big companies can afford this kind of ad space. Forget about it."

"I'm just saying it casually."

Xiong Jie glanced at the Weibo post a few times with reluctance, then continued reading other content.

After watching for a while, he clicked his tongue.

"Do you think it's possible that Lu Ran is letting us use this advertising space because we're a restaurant in Qincheng?"

Xiong Jie is still thinking about this.

Hao Chun said speechlessly, "Even if he's interested in you, you still need to be rich. Are you out of your mind?"

Xiong Jie didn't say anything, but instead reopened the Weibo post from Burning Studio.

He watched for a while, and a fire was burning fiercely in his heart.

It doesn't say who can sponsor and who can't.

Since investing in materials isn't difficult, I might as well give it a try and treat it as a game.

After having this idea, Xiong Jie immediately said to his wife, "I've made up my mind. I'm going to submit a report to Burning Studio."

Hao Chun glanced at him and said, "Go ahead and submit it. You're just stubborn and won't give up until you're completely convinced. You're just adding to their workload."

Xiong Jie chuckled, quickly went into one of the rooms, picked up the computer, and started working on it.

Xiong Jie was a college student before, and he started his own restaurant, so getting information was not a problem for him.

He prepared all the materials as required by the Burning Studio.

After finishing, he sent the information to the Burning Studio's email address.

After posting it, Xiong Jie didn't pay any more attention to it.

Anyway, it's just a matter of trying my luck.

Meanwhile, employees at Burning Studio were sorting and categorizing the materials they received in their email inboxes.

All companies that do not meet the requirements will be eliminated.

At this moment, the employee received the information sent by Xiong Jie.

"Qincheng Xiaochu, a small restaurant owned by an individual business owner."

Among all the brands, this sole proprietorship's information stands out.

The staff did not show any negligence because of his identity, but instead categorized the information into a folder for individual business owners.

As for who to choose in the end, that's the boss's job.

The next morning, Lu Ran received the compiled information.

He immediately clicked into the folder for individual business owners, which contained only one store, Xiong Jie's store.

Compared to the information submitted by the remaining dozens of major brands, this store seemed extremely small.

But that's exactly what Lu Ran wanted.

He sent a message to Shen Qingyi.

"Sister Qingyi, do you have time to help us conduct an on-site inspection of our sponsors?"
