This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 319 Now, let's invite Comrade Lu Ran to speak.
On the podium, Li Quan had a serious expression.

He's a professional; he won't laugh no matter how funny something is.

He was even mouthing the words, silently singing "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

Wang Baoan and the others felt a deep sense of admiration upon witnessing this scene.

No wonder she's Lu Ran's manager; she doesn't even smile. Otherwise, why would she be Lu Ran's manager?

After the song ended, Li Quan continued, "Now we announce the 'Decision on Commending Comrade Lu Ran's Outstanding Fans'."

Li Quan read aloud the previously published manuscript in a clear and articulate voice.

After he finished reading, Liang Mancang and the others applauded.

Although there weren't many people there, the applause that was due still had to be given.

After reading the text, Li Quan slowly said, "Now, please let Comrade Lu Ran speak."

The applause started again.

Lu Ran, dressed in a suit, slowly walked to the front of the podium.

"Dear leaders and fans, hello everyone! Today, I stand here with great excitement. First of all, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the leaders at all levels, industry seniors, and every fan who has silently contributed to my cause for the long term."

After speaking, Lu Ran bowed.

Liang Mancang and the others were practically forcing themselves to suppress their laughter.

Normally I wouldn't want to listen to a speech like this, but Lu Ran's voice is different.

You have to admit how strong an actor's conviction is; they didn't even break character.

"Where are the leaders? Where did these leaders come from?" Wang Baoan looked around curiously.

I didn't see anyone who looked like a leader in this area either.

What she didn't notice was that in the last row, Mrs. Shen, wearing a mask, was sitting with several employees watching the conference.

The leader Lu Ran was referring to was Shen, the rich woman.

The wealthy woman, Shen, was already amazed by Lu Ran's performance.

To be this flamboyant even during a meeting—the first person in the entertainment industry to do so.

She still needs to learn.

At this moment, Lu Ran continued speaking.

"As an artist, I know that my growth is inseparable from..."

The group listened with great interest.

However, this commendation ceremony was an internal meeting and was not broadcast live to the public; only those present at the event could hear it immediately.

Liang Mancang is recording a video, planning to edit it when he gets back to summarize his trip to Qincheng Prison.

Before long, Lu Ran began talking about the third part.

"Third, strengthen the sense of responsibility and guide young people with role models. Faced with the love of the fan group, I have always emphasized rational idol worship and common growth. Today, the fans who are being honored have contributed to the spread of culture, worked diligently in their positions, and participated in public welfare education. Here, I also call on the vast number of art practitioners to strictly adhere to the bottom line of artistic ethics, resolutely resist the chaos of the fan circle, and jointly create a clean online space."

After Lu Ran gave a concluding speech, the speech officially came to an end.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause that lasted for a long time.

Li Quan, who was standing to the side, announced: "Now we will proceed to the third item on the agenda for this meeting: fan recognition."

The music started.

Amid the music, Li Quan continued, "Comrade Liang Mancang's historical montage video 'Red Sun' organically combines the story of Fu Sheng protecting books with the spirit of the times, vividly portraying the contemporary value of cultural inheritance through the image of a guardian of classics. The video has been viewed more than five million times across the internet and won the Best Cultural Communication Award."

Liang Mancang's face showed excitement.

He quickly handed the phone to the person next to him.

"Record it for me."

He then slowly got up and walked onto the podium.

The staff had already brought the trophy up, and Lu Ran held it with both hands and handed it to Liang Mancang.

With his head held high and chest puffed out, Liang Mancang took a photo with Lu Ran.

Subsequently, other awards were presented, and those who were unable to attend had their awards accepted on their behalf.

After all the awards were presented, a fan representative gave a speech.

Originally, the opportunity to speak in this area was for Zhang Jinbu, but since Zhang Jinbu didn't come, it had to be given to someone else.

The atmosphere was very lively, and everyone laughed non-stop from beginning to end.

After all these steps were completed, Li Quan returned to the podium.

"The last item on the agenda for this meeting is to report to the fan representatives on the work plan of Burning Studio this year, and we also hope that the fan representatives can offer suggestions."

This is an essential part.

Several projects from Burning Studio have already started this year, so there's no point in hiding them.

Li Quan briefly explained the situation regarding "Day and Night" and "Soldiers Sortie," and then mentioned the movie "Once Upon a Time in China" and the second season of "That Rabbit."

After he finished speaking, Wang Baoan raised his hand.

"I'd like to ask if Lu Ran has any plans to film a fantasy drama?"

Her words were echoed by the others.

It's worth noting that everyone was very satisfied with Lu Ran's stunning appearance in "The Song of the Clear Sky," the only drawback being that it was too short.

Later, Lu Ran went on to film "The Beginning".

Everyone has always had the idea of ​​seeing Lu Ran act in a fantasy drama.

A fantasy drama with a touch of martial arts.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Li Quan felt a headache coming on.

You guys are treating Lu Ran like a wish-granting machine.

Lu Ran didn't have any scripts for fantasy dramas.

You wouldn't be happy if I actually went to act in those trashy fantasy dramas, would you?

Lu Ran lets his work speak for itself.

What time is it? Lu Ran can't just conjure up a script out of thin air.

Li Quan looked at Lu Ran beside him.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "I understand everyone's suggestions. Please give me some time to prepare. I will definitely put on a fantasy drama for everyone this year."

As everyone knows, Director Lu keeps his word.

Upon hearing this, Liang Mancang and the others cheered.

People are really fed up with these trashy fantasy dramas on the market. Now, they don't even want to click on them just because they see the subject matter.

The meeting ended shortly afterward, and everyone left the room.

The wealthy woman, Shen, also got up and left.

Lu Ran took photos with his fans on stage and then escorted them to their cars downstairs.

Everyone was still a little reluctant to leave. Now it was really time to go.

Once I leave, I don't know when we'll meet again.

Amid farewells, the group all boarded the car.

A group of people were still waving through the car window, and Lu Ran waved back to them.

The car slowly started and drove away.

Liang Mancang had sharp eyes. He saw that Shen Fupo walked to Lu Ran's side and chatted and laughed with him after Lu Ran lowered his arm.

Before I could even see their faces clearly, the car had already driven away.

Liang Mancang hurriedly asked, "Who is that woman next to Lu Ting?"

That shout immediately stopped everyone's sadness, and they quickly found angles to look at it.

I couldn't see clearly, but I could tell she was a beautiful woman.

In an instant, the gossip fire in everyone's hearts burned fiercely.

There must be something wrong!
Downstairs at the company, Mrs. Shen asked curiously, "Are you really going to film a fantasy drama?"

Fantasy dramas are currently a black hole in terms of genre. Even well-known production companies tend to buy online novel IPs for adaptation rather than create their own original scripts.

This kind of subject matter is not easy to write a script for.

Lu Ran nodded: "Let's make plans first, there's still plenty of time this year."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "You're recording a show at the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City on New Year's Eve, right? What about your parents?"

Lu Ran: "I plan to bring my parents here and go back after the show is finished."

The performance on New Year's Eve will be a combination of pre-recorded and live broadcasts, but the performers will still be present at the venue.

Lu Ran planned to stay with his parents and go back home after everything was done.

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly: "I'll go too, and join in the fun with my parents."

Lu Ran: "Don't worry about that, I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for your aunt and uncle."

The arrangements for Shen Fupo's parents must be made!

At 5 p.m., Liang Mancang returned home.

He threw down his suitcase and backpack and collapsed onto the sofa.

After resting for a while, Liang Mancang immediately turned on his computer; he wanted to edit out the video of today's commendation ceremony.

For no other reason than to show off!

Liangmancang finished editing the video in no time.

"On my last day in Qincheng, thank you Lu Ran for presenting me with the award!"

The video was posted and many netizens clicked on it immediately.

Some of the people who are following him now are Lu Ran's fans who just want to see what's going on.

The video remains in vlog format.

When everyone saw the awards ceremony, the live chat exploded with comments.

"When it comes to creating something interesting, you still have to be Director Lu."

"The more I watch this awards ceremony, the more sinister it seems."

"I have to say, it's quite interesting. The main thing is that Director Lu is an interesting person. If any other celebrity dared to do this, I would curse him to death."

Later, Liangmancang even edited in a portion of Lu Ran's speech, and the final segment was the report session.

After listening to Li Quan's report, everyone did some quick calculations and realized it was quite a lot.

Two TV series and a movie, plus the second season of "That Rabbit".

The question about the full granary was also included in the video.

Everyone became excited upon hearing what Lu Ran said.

"Director Lu really dared to agree!"

"We're going to get involved in fantasy dramas too!"

"It's all over, it's all over, the reputation of Director Lu is going to be ruined."

The video of the full granary also became a trending topic on K-site.

The information Lu Ran shared at the meeting also attracted the attention of other entertainment companies.

Some companies, after hearing this, have already started thinking about how to cooperate with Lu Ran.

We can help with filming!
And about that fantasy drama you mentioned, you don't have the script, but we have it here!
With Lu Ran's current popularity, there are plenty of people who want to collaborate with him.

The benefits Lu Ran gained from the role of Xiao Heyun in "The Beginning" alone are enough to sustain him for several years.

The only two companies that are suffering are Liujin Times and Xingyao Media.

The main work of Liujin Era is in film and television dramas, and the artists at Xingyao Media are also having their living space squeezed by Lu Ran.

Guo Weicheng called the boss of Liujin Times again.

"Mr. Di, we need to meet and discuss our strategy."

This time, Di Hui did not refuse.

Something has to be done.

In the following days, Lu Ran arranged his work and even took a trip to the set of "Day and Night".

Time flies, and it's Lunar New Year's Eve.

At their doorstep, Lu Ran and his father were putting up Spring Festival couplets.

Lu Ran was in charge of applying the tape, and Lu's father was in charge of handing Lu Ran the tape.

After the Spring Festival couplets were pasted up, Lu Ran began to paste the character "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune).

He first stuck a piece of tape on the top of the character "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune), and just as he was waiting for his father to hand him the tape, the character "福" fell off.

Lu Ran quickly reached out and pressed it down.

With a bang, the door slammed shut.

For a moment, Lu Ran looked at his father, and the two of them stared at each other in silence.

At this moment, Lu's mother, who had just finished shopping outside, walked to the door carrying her bag.

As soon as Lu's mother saw the two of them, she guessed what had happened.

"Is the door locked?" Aunt Lu asked in a cold voice.

To avoid getting a beating, Mr. Lu had a sudden inspiration: "Look, even though the door is locked, our son caught the good fortune. This year, he will definitely have great luck and his career will reach new heights."

Lu's mother's expression softened considerably.

Then Mr. Lu asked, "Did you bring your keys?"
