This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 326 Appearing on TV is possible, but you'll have to wear women's clothing.

The quirky style of "The Earth Trainees" instantly left a deep impression on the audience.

Zhao Long and the others remembered one thing.

That was what Lu Ran told them when they set off for the filming location: to be sincere.

Don't worry about whether the audience watches or not. That's not something you guests should be concerned about. If money is lost, it's Shen Fupo who loses money. Why are you all so worried?

Sincerity can win the audience's favor.

Throughout the entire process, Zhao Long and his team did only one thing: treat the program and its audience with sincerity.

If you're going to farm, just focus on farming and stop thinking about other things.

In other variety shows, guests will do anything to get on the trending topics list, even if they are criticized by the audience. Being famous for being infamous is still being famous, and at worst they can just turn to live streaming to sell products and make money.

This situation does not exist in "The Earth Trainees".

It was this sincerity that moved the viewers who clicked in to watch.

Discussions about "The Earth Trainees" quickly emerged on Weibo.

"Everyone should go watch this! There's a variety show about farming, it's really interesting, and I've learned a lot from it."

"What farming? You're saying a group of trainees are farming? Can these young idols even farm?"

"At first, I was a little rusty, but I gradually got the hang of it. There was no disgusting infighting or any plot that made you want to curse. It was just simple farming. It was quite interesting to watch them cultivate more than 100 acres of land."

"The ending, with the scene of emerging from the fields of hope, was truly moving. Farming is ingrained in the genes of the Chinese people; we love this land, this is the land we strive for!"

"Now that you mention it, the song that Teacher Shunqizizi created in the end is really good. It matches the show perfectly and elevates the whole program."

"When the teacher takes action, it's naturally extraordinary."

Amidst online discussions, the number of views for "The Earth Trainees" continued to rise, climbing from a few hundred thousand at the beginning to over a million and then two million.

The data is already comparable to some of the most popular variety shows these days.

The Penguin Video team was somewhat surprised.

To be honest, they weren't optimistic about this variety show at first.

I've never seen this type before.

If it weren't for Lu Ran's sake and Gu Yaohui's situation, we might not have purchased this variety show.

Judging from the current online situation, this variety show has the potential to become a huge hit.

Tencent Video also acted quickly, increasing its promotional efforts for "The Earth Trainees".

Xingyao Media is also monitoring the broadcast status of "The Earth Trainees".

When Xingyao Media saw that "The Earth Trainees" had become a hit, they knew that they had made the right move!
Once a hit variety show appears on the market, a large number of copycat productions will inevitably emerge to satisfy the audience's viewing needs.

Other companies would be too late to follow suit and create a variety show like this.

This is a reality show about farming; preparations should begin at least several months in advance.

And they are ready.

They're definitely going to capitalize on this wave of agricultural content with "Rural Dreams"!

Two days later, Saturday night at eight o'clock.

"Earth Trainees" has released another episode, and "Rural Star Dream" has also released its first episode.

There's so much video footage from "The Earth Trainees" that this episode is an extra one because the show is so popular.

However, when viewers clicked into "Rural Star Dream" expecting to watch "The Earth Trainees," they found that it was not what they expected at all.

"Did they really farm? It seems so. Su Weilun never goes to the fields, but he lets those newbies do it."

"These newcomers are too eager to perform. They even started arguing to get the spotlight. Your argument was a bit forced."

"Wait a minute, there's something wrong here. I think I saw someone helping them with the planting."

Compared to "The Earth Trainees", the script of "Rural Star Dream" is too obvious.

The guests on the show weren't there to farm; they were there to grab trending topics.

In contrast, in the second episode of "Trainees on the Earth," the ten participants worked together to continue farming and expanded the types of crops they planted.

While the winter wheat was still waiting to ripen, everyone exchanged seeds and planted early spring thick-skinned melons and early spring cabbages in preparation for what was to come.

A group of people also introduced poultry, built poultry houses, and installed insulation measures to help the poultry safely get through the winter.

Throughout the process, everyone learned what they didn't understand, progressed through practice, and learned by doing – a process known as learning by doing.

After watching both programs, it became a trending topic.

Su Weilun, in particular, was trending on two separate topics, one of which was #CanSuWeilunBeLessDadlike?

He kept expressing his opinions during the planting process, but never actually experimented himself. After other guests tried to do it the way he suggested but failed, Su Weilun continued to shift the blame, saying that they hadn't followed his instructions in certain details, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"I thought a variety show with so many big stars would be better, but it's far inferior to 'Earth Trainees'."

"I'm just curious about one thing now: do they actually farm?"

"Just look at their hands and you'll know. I don't know who planted it, but I know perfectly well who didn't. Su Weilun!"

That evening, Su Weilun was furious when he saw the trending topics online.

How can I, as a senior, put up with this?

When did it become your turn, the audience, to tell me how to do things?

Su Weilun immediately posted a Weibo message.

"Let me explain what everyone is saying. Some of the young people don't really understand. I used to work in the fields, so I gave them a few pointers. As for what everyone said about me not going to the fields, that's because I had a cold those few days, and Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu wouldn't let me go to the fields. The production team didn't edit that part out."

After posting on Weibo, Su Weilun sent a WeChat message to all the other guests on the show.

"You all go and explain this to me on Weibo."

These guests also dared not neglect their duties.

Su Weilun was a true senior in their eyes, and they dared not offend him.

A group of guests suddenly appeared.

"Teacher Su had a fever that day and was not feeling well, but she still cooked for us in the kitchen. Thank you, Teacher Su."

"The production team didn't edit out many parts of the program. Teacher Su has done so much for us. Thank you, Teacher Su." "I didn't know how to hoe the ground before, and it was Teacher Su who taught me."

Su Weilun replied to each of these people.

Finally, he also posted a Weibo post.

"I came to participate in the program 'Rural Dreams' mainly to show everyone rural life. Farming is only a part of the program, not the whole. If any program uses farming as a pretext, it is a lie. They just use farmland as a talent show to earn traffic for themselves."

Su Weilun is clearly referring to "The Earth Trainee".

"Rural Star Dream" didn't receive the same positive reviews as "Earth Trainee" when it first aired, and now it's being ridiculed by netizens. He couldn't hold back his anger if he didn't say this.

His statement immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

In the large group chat of the Burning Studio.

Zhao Long has already started his吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize) mode.

"Is this guy crazy? Did he poke his lungs?"

Even Peng Zhuoran, who is usually very good-tempered, complained about Su Weilun in the group chat.

Chen Ke: "Su Weilun is that kind of person. He has a high status in the industry now, and he likes to give people a few pointers. Just ignore them."

The head of the intelligence department at Burning Studio knew Su Weilun's character in the industry very well.

Many things are not secrets within the industry, but no one talks about them, and even if they did, no one would believe them.

Most celebrities have two faces, one on stage and one off stage.

Lu Ran: "Just focus on your own things and ignore him."

Su Weilun was furious because the popularity of "Rural Star Dream" was crushed by "Earth Trainee".

In terms of ratings, "Rural Star Dream" is far inferior to "Earth Trainee".

Lu Ran couldn't be bothered with people like that.

I'll remember this, I'll find an opportunity to do it later.

Lu Ran opened the chat window with Zhao Long.

"The company is planning to send you to participate in The Masked Singer."

"The Masked Singer" is still in the planning stages and will not officially begin recording for several months.

Zhao Long can start preparing in advance; he shouldn't just focus on farming and forget to practice his voice.

Zhao Long was overjoyed.

"The Masked Singer? What?! Can I do it?"

This name sounds unusual. What's so special about a singer? He doesn't even have any representative works. He's not even a third-rate singer.

"You can go, but you have to wear women's clothing."

Lu Ran sent another message to Zhao Long.

At this moment, in the dormitory, Zhao Long's smile froze on his face.

He remembered something from a long time ago.

He told Lu Ran this while they were recording "The Future Singer" and he was having lunch in the cafeteria.

One of the ways entertainment companies exploit their artists is by forcing them to wear women's clothing.

Make male celebrities wear women's clothing.

This is retribution!

Zhao Long: "Brother Lu, what are you trying to do? Have you forgotten your original aspirations?"

Zhao Long tried to awaken Lu Ran's conscience.

Lu Ran: "I'll write a song for you as things happen naturally."

Upon seeing this sentence, Zhao Long was caught in a dilemma.

The name "Shunqi Ziran" needs no introduction; Lu Ran has only sung two songs written by Shunqi Ziran so far.

And it wasn't a solo performance, but a duet with others.

He was actually fortunate enough to be able to write songs by letting nature take its course, and even go on the Masked Singer.

At this moment, Zhao Long's upright heart wavered.

He didn't want to wear women's clothing, but the other party offered too much!
After some internal struggle, Zhao Long made up his mind.

"So what if I'm dressed as a woman? It's not like I don't dress up for operas!"

Zhao Long sent a message to Lu Ran.

"Is this true?"

"I'm not lying to you, both Shunqiziran and I will make a move this time. Let's seize the opportunity."

Zhao Long: "What about the song?"

Lu Ran: "Don't rush, give Teacher Shunqizi some time."

"Okay, I'll wait!"

After discussing the matter with Zhao Long, Lu Ran also told Wang Jiayue and Qin Yue about participating in "The Masked Singer".

The competition rules for this show have been initially set, and there are quite a few singers needed, so there's no fear of three people competing against each other.

As for Zhao Long, Lu Ran plans to give him Li Yugang's songs from Earth.

Zhao Long has been learning opera since elementary school, so singing "The New Drunken Concubine" is no problem for him.

Appearing on the show and gaining fame will be no problem.

Just as Lu Ran was thinking, Liu Dayong called.

"Hey, are you free tomorrow?"

"What's wrong, Director?"

"You have to come to the capital with me. It's about Soldiers' Assault."
