This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 282 Provisional Management Regulations for the Combustion Study Group
Li Quan was somewhat surprised.

You've already created a fan group, what else can you do?

Lu Ran shared his general thoughts with Li Quan.

Li Quan was shocked after hearing this.

Are you still running a fan group?
Your approach is out of step with others in the entertainment industry.

After talking with Li Quan, Lu Ran searched online to learn about the situation and gained some knowledge about fan circles.

The most crucial point is that the fan culture was born because there is an industry chain behind it.

Fans satisfy their emotional needs by contributing data, voting, spending money, and so on for their favorite celebrities.

However, it's important to understand that the person connecting with these fans cannot be the celebrity themselves, and celebrities don't have the time for that.

This process has given rise to some middlemen.

For example, when a celebrity has a birthday, a fan leader might say, "Let's chip in and buy a big screen ad for our idol to celebrate."

How much does it cost to buy this advertisement? Let's all chip in and raise the money.

If the actual cost of advertising was only 10,000 yuan, but the actual amount raised was 100,000 yuan, then the remaining 90,000 yuan could not be refunded and would naturally end up in the pocket of the fan leader.

There are also instances where popular celebrities release albums, often resulting in sales exceeding a certain number of copies within one minute of release.

These data were not collected by fans buying music one by one on music apps.

Buying them one by one is too much trouble.

There are still dedicated personnel who collect the fans' money and then go directly to the music software staff.

I pay these music apps a fee, and all I ask is that they show me the sales figures the instant the album is released.

The promotional effect of breaking one million in sales in one minute is different from that of breaking one million in sales in one second.

The profits from this are enormous.

Ultimately, these celebrities all rely on their fans to make money, so they will stop at nothing to exploit these fans, hoping that these fans will be as mentally challenged as possible.

However, when in this group, some people may get carried away and do some irrational things, which they will regret afterwards.

After looking around, Lu Ran began to make a plan.

He, who lets his work speak for itself, doesn't need a fan club at all.

Everyone can just spend a little money to get a video membership; there's no need for anything else.

The government has been cracking down on fan culture behavior for a long time.

This thing is like weeds; it grows back after the spring breeze.

As long as there is a chain of interests, it is impossible to completely sever it.

But at least for Lu Ran, this situation is not allowed to happen, even if it takes some effort on his end.

Judging from some notices and suggestions issued by the state, celebrities starting with themselves is an integral part of fan circle management.

After several hours of revisions, Lu Ran wrote a formal document entitled "Provisional Management Measures for the Burning Study Group".

He posted the document in the studio's WeChat group.

"Everyone, please take a look at this document. If you have any opinions, please feel free to express them."

In the group chat, everyone was stunned when they saw the file.

Good grief, is this supposed to be a lesson for everyone?

The Burning Study Group is just a group for the artists from the Burning Studio.

After clicking in, everyone discovered that it wasn't like that at all.

Li Haorui, who was resting at home, looked at the document and read it aloud silently.

"Chapter 1 General Provisions, Article 1 Purpose: The Burning Learning Group, hereinafter referred to as the Group, is a fan self-discipline organization initiated by Burning Studio. Its aim is to advocate rational idol worship, reject the fandomization, focus on supporting works, be guided by positive energy actions, and practice the core concepts of learning and growth, mutual assistance and public welfare."

After reading this passage, Li Haorui straightened his body.

You shouldn't read this document while sprawled on the sofa; you should sit at the conference table.

There is a second principle.

"Works First: We will primarily support Lu Ran's artistic works and will not participate in irrational behaviors such as ranking, comment control, or fundraising. We will not spend money unless necessary."

Li Haorui read through them one by one.

This was completely different from what he had experienced when he was at Star Media.

Star Media is eager to squeeze every penny out of its fans; they'll even take out a loan if they don't have the money.

Li Haorui even suspected that if the video platform didn't require a membership to watch, Lu Ran would have urged everyone not to subscribe.

There are other management agreements to follow.

For example, offline gatherings must be reported to the studio in advance, and public order must not be disturbed, etc.

"Why do we still need to elect study committee members, plan book clubs, and skills sharing activities?"

Li Haorui was stunned.

After he finished reading the whole plan, he was completely impressed by Lu Ran.

"As expected of Director Lu!"

If this method is to be implemented, it will definitely cost a lot of money to operate.

While other companies are trying to squeeze money out of their fans, Lu Ran's behavior is rather bizarre.

They don't make money, yet they still have to organize activities within the group, give out gifts from time to time, and expect fans to be rational.

Li Haorui sent a message in the work group.

"I don't think there's a problem. If I had to point out a problem, I think we shouldn't rush to roll it out on the whole. Instead, we should set up three groups for a pilot program first, and roll it out on the whole after running it for a while and confirming that there are no problems."

A while later, Chen Ke also sent a message.

"Mr. Lu, your success is not without reason, but it's easy for you to offend people."

It's normal to offend people. But what are people going to think of other popular celebrities if you, Lu Ran, do this?
Lu Ran: "Anyway, we've already offended them."

Chen Ke: "Then there's no problem."

Zhao Long then spoke.

"What is all this? I'm a farmer, I can't read."

Li Quan: "Go back to farming!"

Finally, Shen, the wealthy woman, chimed in during the group chat.

"It can be implemented, and if it works well, it can be promoted throughout Chang'an Entertainment." In the end, the "Interim Management Measures for the Burning Study Group" were passed unanimously.

Li Quan also arranged for the studio staff to begin preparations.

The official Weibo account of Burning Studio also posted a message.

"After discussion among all members of the studio, the studio will establish an official fan group starting tomorrow. All information related to the fan group will be released only from this account. Any information on other platforms will be fake or forwarded. The detailed plan will be officially announced tomorrow."

After the Weibo post was published, the newly joined fans immediately commented.

"Received! Finally, the fan group is here!"

Some fans also came from Jiang Yixuan and An Lingling's side.

For these fans, it's simply a matter of changing their favorite celebrity.

As for the methods of following celebrities, they will definitely be the same as before.

That's how celebrities are these days anyway.

Controlling comments, ranking, and manipulating data, etc.

After seeing this Weibo post from Burning Studio, other celebrities and management companies in the entertainment industry felt a chill run down their spines.

It's finally here!
Lu Ran's popularity in the Chinese entertainment industry is currently at its peak, and with the support of the drama "The Beginning," his popularity can definitely reach new heights.

Once he gathers his fans and forms a fighting force, he'll sweep across the Chinese entertainment industry.

No one can rival his popularity.

"Sure enough, no one can resist making a living off their fans, since it's such a good way to earn money from them."

"No, we can't just let this go. Publishing smear articles? Lu Ran isn't just pretending to be high and mighty; he's getting involved in the fandom too!"

"The initial popularity is only temporary. Just because Lu Ran can write such a drama doesn't mean he can write a second one. This one drama is enough for him to live off for a long time."

Everyone can see that "The Beginning" is about to become Lu Ran's representative work.

Many celebrities have been in the entertainment industry for many years, but still haven't returned with a representative work.

It would be worthwhile to make just one show like this in a lifetime.

Online, all sorts of smear articles claiming that Lu Ran was trying to exploit his fans have started to surface.

The next day, the official Weibo account of Burning Studio officially released the "Interim Management Measures for the Burning Study Group". The measures confirmed that Lu Ran's fan group was the Burning Study Group.

After this method was sent out, Lu Ran's group of longtime fans burst out laughing.

"I'm truly impressed. You really are something, Director Lu!"

"Director Lu, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to build a new entertainment industry?!"

"I have no objection to Director Lu being the person in charge; I vote for Director Lu."

"I propose that this management method be implemented for all celebrities, and that they all follow this method!"

"Where's Xiao Heizi? Why isn't he saying anything? Didn't they say Director Lu was going to fleece his fans? Look, Director Lu has put a knife to his own throat. If any fan violates the management rules, they'll be removed from the group. That's too cruel!"

A group of fans who came from other popular celebrities were still a bit confused.

"If they won't let us participate in rankings, control comments, or manipulate data, then what's the point of having us?"

A fan commented below.

Burning Studio also replied with a message.

"You need to study hard and cherish life. Lu Ran's works are only a part of your lives, don't let them become your whole life."

Such a sincere answer left these fans speechless for a moment.

"Then why create a fan group?"

Burning Studio continued to respond.

"The Burning Study Group is a fan self-discipline organization. Everyone joins voluntarily. We would prefer that the group be empty, which would show that everyone is very self-disciplined."

In the comments section, the official Weibo account of Burning Studio answered netizens' questions one by one.

In reality, Lu Ran was replying using the official Weibo account.

He prayed silently in his heart.

"Don't come, it's best if none of you come!"

Finally, the official Weibo account announced how to join the group.

Meanwhile, during her lunch break, Zhang Shanshan opened her phone and saw online news about Burning Studio.

After watching "The Beginning", she searched online for Lu Ran's fan group and wanted to join.

As for Jiang Yixuan, who is he?

I'm not familiar with him.

She's not as good-looking, as good at acting, or as talented as Lu Ran. I don't know why I liked him for so long.

Now that Burning Studio has released instructions on how to join the group, Zhang Shanshan is hesitant.

This was not quite what she had imagined.

"Regardless, let's add it and see."

After several rounds of verification, Zhang Shanshan joined the group chat.

Group name: Burning Learning Group 1

Shortly after Zhang Shanshan joined the group, the group chat reached two thousand members.

Subsequently, the administrator posted an announcement.

"Dear fans, this group is full. The serialization period event has officially begun. Every day from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, there will be a knowledge quiz every half hour. If you answer correctly, you will receive a knowledge gift pack from Burning Studio."

After a while, the administrator sent a message in the group.

"The first round of knowledge quiz is about to begin, everyone get ready."

Zhang Shanshan didn't even realize what was happening before they started giving her gifts?
Your way of giving gifts is a bit different from others.

"The quiz is the opening scene, right? I'm familiar with that."

Zhang Shanshan was fully focused, preparing to answer the questions.

When the hour arrived, the administrator posted the first question.

Which of the following situations constitute chaos within the fan community? (Multiple choice)
