This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 287 Lu Ran is about to take off!

At that moment, all the audience members shared the same expression as Li Shiqing.

"Could it be a double cycle?!"

"How could it be over already? You better keep acting!"

"If it's a double cycle, then many of Wang Mengmeng's previous actions can be explained! Many things that were previously unexplained can now be explained!"

"Holy crap! It's gone!"

On the final playback page of "The Beginning", the bullet comments kept scrolling.

Many netizens rushed to Weibo and bombarded Lu Ran's Weibo with comments.

"Dude, why are you like some online novel authors, leaving plot holes even after the ending?"

"You've been resting for several days now. I order you to finish filming the second part of the opening sequence immediately!"

"Director Lu, look at this ending! Does it do justice to the audience? Does it do justice to the people? Make a sequel right now!"

This is exactly the feeling Lu Ran wanted.

There's no way we'll make a sequel; it'll never happen in this lifetime.

There's not much to film in a cyclical drama like "The Beginning".

Even though the entire series is a group portrait, the final cut only has a dozen or so episodes.

If a second movie were to be made, it would simply be repeating the same formula.

Such repetition is meaningless.

Perhaps we should see if any excellent screenwriters can rewrite this idea into a better story.

In the movie theater.

When the final episode of "The Beginning" finished playing, the entire room erupted in cheers.

Meng Yichuan stood up abruptly, picked up his wine glass, and twisted his buttocks a few times.

The overwhelming barrage of comments at the end was enough to satisfy Meng Yichuan.

We've never had such good days before.

Yang Fang stared blankly at the big screen, lost in thought.

He began to doubt his own screenwriting abilities.

He simply couldn't write a script like that.

The wealthy woman, Ms. Shen, picked up her wine glass and stood up.

She was the main investor in the drama "The Beginning," and this one drama alone was enough to establish Chang'an Entertainment's foothold in the film and television production industry.

Chang'an Entertainment has never been this powerful before.

All of this is because of Lu Ran!
"We absolutely cannot let other companies poach Lu Ran. We'll agree to whatever conditions Lu Ran asks for in the future!"

After a brief period of deliberation, Shen Fupo determined the future development direction of Chang'an Entertainment.

She raised her glass and smiled, "Congratulations on the successful conclusion of 'The Beginning'! We'll also be submitting an award application for 'The Beginning'. It would be great if we could win one. We also want to thank Lu Ran, Director Meng, and everyone for their hard work on this drama."

After saying a few words, Mrs. Shen didn't know what to say next and was a little embarrassed.

Lu Ran laughed and said, "It's all in the wine, everyone drink."

Everyone drank it all.

Meng Yichuan poured wine for Lu Ran: "Ran, why don't you say a few words? It wouldn't be right if you didn't."

All eyes turned to Lu Ran.

Especially Mrs. Shen, the rich woman.

She needs to learn from Lu Ran.

Lu Ran raised his glass and said with a smile, "I'm not very good at talking, so let me sing a couple of lines for everyone."

Everyone applauded.

Lu Ran cleared his throat and began to sing.

"The wine is fragrant, the songs are melodious, my friend, let's drink to that! This victorious December will never be forgotten, our glasses are filled with tears of happiness!"

Lu Ran sang "Toast Song".

They changed October to December.

As soon as he started singing, Mrs. Shen's eyes widened.

Is this what you call being unable to speak properly?
You're making me look uncultured!

In a hotel, as everyone raised their glasses in celebration.

Ning Sirou and her mother, Wang Ying, cheered excitedly in the hotel.

The excitement on their faces was impossible to contain.

After cheering for a while, the two even hugged each other.

Ning Sirou has the ability, and Wang Ying has the vision; these are the reasons why Ning Sirou was able to rise to the top at such a young age. It's worth noting that in today's Chinese entertainment industry, almost no top star can escape widespread ridicule for their acting.

There are various reasons for this.

Ultimately, it's because the dramas they made weren't good.

Like An Lingling, who co-starred with Jiang Yixuan in "I Want to See You Tomorrow Too" and was already ridiculed by the entire internet.

Once you reach Ning Sirou's position, you either have to exploit others to make money, or you have to find ways to improve yourself.

Both Wang Ying and Ning Sirou wanted to take the second path.

The second path is difficult.

But "The Beginning" was a success!

With just this one drama, Ning Sirou can firmly establish herself as a top star, and even stand at the top of the social hierarchy, surpassing other top stars.

The benefits it brings are immeasurable.

After the cheers subsided, Wang Ying pondered a serious question.

Ning Sirou is not currently signed with a company because once she does, she loses control over many aspects of her life.

It seems that the studio that signed Lu Ran doesn't have so many concerns.

Lu Ran is very capable, but he doesn't impose too many restrictions on the careers of the stars in his studio.

"It is said that to join Burning Studio, one must agree with Burning Studio's philosophy, but that is not a problem."

Wang Ying is seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.

Clearly, Lu Ran is already a rising star in the entertainment industry, and so is the company behind him, with unlimited potential.

Wang Ying looked at Ning Sirou: "Do you want to sign with Lu Ran's studio?"

Ning Sirou was stunned for a moment.

"Can I?"

Wang Ying thought of Lu Ran's somewhat strange request.

It seems a bit dangerous.

The office of Dongsun Video.

Ji Yongsheng kept a close eye on the playback data of "The Beginning".

In the morning, the average number of views per episode of "The Beginning" had already exceeded 80 million.

By 8 p.m., it had reached 86 million.

After the latest five episodes are released, the average number of views per episode will definitely drop.

But it doesn't matter, we can still make it up anyway.

Under Ji Yongsheng's excited gaze, the number of views for the finale of "The Beginning" soared at a visible speed.

Ten million, twenty million, thirty million.

Ji Yongsheng barely slept all night. When he was tired, he would just rest on a chair for a while, and when he woke up, he would check the number of views.

The next morning around nine o'clock, Ji Yongsheng groggily opened his eyes.

He jolted awake and quickly looked at the computer screen.

Upon seeing the current number of views for "The Beginning," Ji Yongsheng burst into laughter.

The total number of views for "The Beginning" has exceeded 1.5 billion!
Each video website sets a popularity score for long-running dramas.

The calculation of this popularity value is complicated, and it can even be faked by manipulating the data.

But the number of views is almost impossible to artificially inflate.

This is the most authentic data.

In the realm of long-running dramas in the Chinese entertainment industry, there hasn't been a single drama this year with an average of over 100 million views per episode!

Ji Yongsheng felt refreshed and quickly made a phone call to his subordinates.

"Distribute the posters we've prepared right away!"

"Yes, Mr. Ji!"

The video about winter bamboo shoots was ready long ago.

On Weibo, the official account of Dongsun Video posted a poster in a high-profile manner.

The poster prominently displays the words "The first episode's average viewership exceeded 100 million!"

Subsequently, the official Weibo account of the company also reposted this Weibo post.

After this Weibo post was published, it attracted the attention of the entire entertainment industry.

New screenwriter, new actor.

Lu Ran is about to take off!
