This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 273 Choose to be a man and strive for self-improvement!

Lu Ran's performance in Hong Kong had a huge impact.

This was no longer a simple singing performance; once those songs were played, the entire stage took on a different meaning.

Moreover, that same evening, Lu Ran also wrote an article addressing the chaos in the entertainment industry.

These are positive role models!
There is no one more suitable to be the publicity person than him.

These specialized media outlets naturally wanted to publicize this.

After the special media outlets finished their promotion, netizens' comments were completely different.

"You should try to persuade Lu Ran; he has already ruined the entire country's cultural and tourism industry."

Media: Lu Ran uses her singing to protect cultural roots. Lu Ran: My surname is Sichuan, and I enjoy eating and playing in Sichuan.

"Look what Lu Ran, whom you've been promoting so much, is doing now!"

Although netizens were verbally criticizing him, they actually welcomed Lu Ran's actions.

Putting everything else aside, just look at whether there was any publicity or not.

This time, not only other singers and celebrities in the entertainment industry, but even many investors dislike Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's actions touched a nerve with them.

In the entertainment industry, there are many celebrities who maintain high moral standards and are politically astute.

But if you're a celebrity, you'll eventually have to act in movies and participate in shows.

These programs and TV dramas are all funded by investors.

You say you are morally upright, that's fine.

You are our brand; I use you in my advertising.

But Lu Ran is different.

He has the power to flip the table.

This time, he flipped the table on "The Voice of China".

Many things online are unclear, but many people in the industry know more detailed information.

The problems exposed by "The Voice of the Heart" must be seriously investigated and dealt with by the authorities.

Gu Yaohui, the head of Tencent Video's variety show business, can just be dismissed without hesitation; this means they're serious.

People like Cai Jiasheng and Fu Ziheng probably won't be able to make it in the industry anymore.

You say you haven't been blacklisted, but nobody dares to hire you.

Anyway, the entertainment industry is not short of stars, so it doesn't matter who you choose.

This is a situation that Lu Ran must be wary of.

Guo Weicheng of Xingyao Media also met with several entertainment companies in the industry.

However, Lu Ran didn't care about any of these things.

With my system, why would I be afraid of your nonsense?
After finishing his class in the afternoon, Li Quan sent Lu Ran a message.

"You Zhenhao, the director of the CCTV New Year's Eve Gala, is looking for you. I gave him your phone number."

Lu Ran had previously been in contact with You Zhenhao.

After he finished singing "Really Love You", a leader on the show "Voice of the Heart" said that he wanted to participate in the New Year's Eve Gala of CCTV in Beijing, and that he would sing in both Cantonese and Mandarin.

Lu Ran's idea at the time was to sing "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" on the stage.

Although the gala hosted by CCTV in Beijing is not the Spring Festival Gala, but only the New Year's Eve Gala, it still attracts tens of millions of viewers.

Such a free stage for promoting music, why not take it?

At the time, he only had Li Quan and You Zhenhao contact each other; they hadn't discussed the specifics yet.

Not long after, You Zhenhao called.

"Hello, Lu Ran," You Zhenhao said with a smile.

"Hello, tour guide."

After exchanging a few polite words, You Zhenhao didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I have three things to say on this call. One is to invite Li Haorui and Wang Jiayue to our New Year's Eve party to sing 'The Bauhinia Blossoms,' another is to have the children from the Sunshine Choir sing 'The Song of Macau,' and finally, you. I think you can sing 'The Great Wall Will Never Fall.'"

At one gala, all three songs were written by the same singer.

It sounds a bit absurd, but we have no choice but to make this choice.

CCTV's New Year's Eve gala also needs to generate buzz.

These are the songs that have been the most popular lately.

Besides their high popularity, these songs also align well with the style of CCTV.

If it weren't for the fact that "Pearl of the Orient" and "Bauhinia Blossoms" are somewhat repetitive, Yu Zhenhao would have liked to include both songs.

In the end, it was decided to put "Bauhinia Blossoms" on first, while "Pearl of the Orient" would be reserved for the Hong Kong handover celebration later.

"Director You, the boss said last time that he wanted a song that was both in Cantonese and Mandarin, but 'The Great Wall Never Falls' doesn't meet his standards."

You Zhenhao laughed and said, "It's alright, the Bauhinia flowers are already in full bloom."

"The rules can't be broken. I have another song here. Director You, what do you think of it?"

You Zhenhao was leaning back in his chair making a phone call, but after hearing Lu Ran's words, he immediately sat up straight.

what's the situation?
Is there another song?

You've sung so many songs in Guangdong Province, haven't you been drained yet?
It's obvious that Lu Ran has a lot of talent up her sleeve. If any other singer made this request, You Zhenhao would have refused outright.

Do you think you can just make demands of the gala hosted by CCTV in Beijing?
Lu Ran is different.

They can make demands.

“Send it to me so I can take a look. I have to tell you in advance that the reason I chose the song ‘The Great Wall Will Never Fall’ is because of its style. If it were another type of song, and it wasn’t as good as this one, I would still prefer ‘The Great Wall Will Never Fall’.”

The song selection for the Beijing TV New Year's Eve Gala should ideally be unique and meaningful.

Love songs already exist.

The beauty of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" lies in its powerful and majestic spirit.

Performing this at a New Year's Eve gala could be uplifting, and there aren't any suitable songs of the same type available at the moment.

Lu Ran didn't care how the songs were chosen for the party.

But when it comes to sheer spirit, "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" is no less impressive.

Without saying a word, Lu Ran sent "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" to You Zhenhao.

I also sent him the demos of the songs he had recorded.

On the other side, You Zhenhao received the file on his computer.

I spotted the song title right away.

"A man should be self-reliant; the song title is quite interesting."

He opened the file and also opened the song demo that Lu Ran had sent.

However, You Zhenhao didn't really care.

If "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" is so inspiring, can Lu Ran still pull out another song that is just as inspiring?

However, when Lu Ran's singing voice came through the headphones...

Lu Ran sang the version sung by George Lam.

You Zhenhao froze instantly.

He was over forty years old and felt his blood boiling, his masculinity at its peak, and he could even fight for three hundred rounds.

"This song is even more inspiring than The Great Wall Will Never Fall."

After hearing it, You Zhenhao was completely convinced.

Given this comparison, he had no choice but to choose "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant".

As Lu Ran said, "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" is sung in both Cantonese and Mandarin, and the combination of the two makes it more acceptable to audiences in both the north and south.

Moreover, Lu Ran singing a new song will have a better effect on the promotion of the New Year's Eve gala.

CCTV is unbeatable when it comes to the Spring Festival Gala.

It's not a New Year's Eve gala.

The few TV stations in the country that have the capability to host New Year's Eve galas are all formidable players, daring to compete with CCTV for viewership.

"If I put this song on my party, it would shine brighter than the sun!"

You Zhenhao was full of confidence.

After listening to the demo again, he called Lu Ran back immediately.

"Let's use your song. Feel free to make any requests."

After talking with You Zhenhao about "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", Lu Ran felt relieved.

At this moment, Lu Ran received a message from Meng Yichuan.

"Wow, Dongsun Video just contacted us to see if we can generate some buzz for Kaiduan. Juzi Video's 'I Want to See You Tomorrow' has already started airing, and it's getting quite popular right now."

Lu Ran went online to take a look.

While he was busy, the drama "I Want to See You Tomorrow," starring Jiang Yixuan and An Lingling, had already premiered.

After all, they are two top celebrities. Even if there were some negative news before, it did not affect their core fan base.

On the third day after its premiere, "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too" had already surpassed 10,000 views on Orange Video.

According to fans, this is already a huge hit.

On Weibo, all related topics were controlled by fans' comments.

In the field of publicity, Lu Ran had to admit that these established companies were indeed very professional. This kind of precise operation was something that you really couldn't do without experience.

In contrast, although "The Beginning" was also promoted, the effect was only so-so.

The main reason for the popularity is the popularity of him and Ning Sirou themselves.

"The old tricks of fan-controlled comments are meaningless. We can do something else, something they can't do."

After thinking for a while, Lu Ran focused on the music that runs throughout the entire play "The Beginning".

This music is the Canon ringtone.

This is a well-known instrumental piece on Earth, but it doesn't exist in this world.

On Earth, this instrumental piece, whose full name is "Canon in D Major," holds an extraordinary place in music history and has even influenced the development of popular music as a whole.

Many popular songs use chords from this piece, Canon.

"Let's use this song, 'Canon,' for promotion."
