This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 329 Who told you to sing this kind of song?

Lu Ran's decision wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment thing; since there was only a week left before it ended, he figured he might as well experience military life.

The instructor of "Able to Martial Arts and Literature" wants him to play the role.

This can also serve as publicity for "A Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts" and "Soldiers' Assault".

Liu Dayong: "Are you sure?"

Lu Ran: "Confirmed, thank you Director Liu."

Liu Dayong: "It's not troublesome at all."

Lu Ran can be directly assigned to Li Yi's class; there shouldn't be any problem.

Wang Peng and the others didn't expect Lu Ran to actually agree.

Since I've already agreed, I must practice properly!
Li Yi laughed and said, "Lu Ran, you'd better be prepared. Life in the army isn't that easy."

Li Yi still had a conscience and gave Lu Ran a heads-up.

Afterwards, Liu Dayong and Lu Ran went to find their superiors to coordinate the work.

As soon as the two left, Li Yi and the others started chatting.

Do you think Lu Ran will be punished by standing in the corner tomorrow?

"They're definitely going to be punished by standing. Wang Peng was punished by standing for three days, and it was only after the leaders came to his rescue."

Wang Peng scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Because he was the lead actor, Liu Dayong put him in a separate class where the other students didn't even know he was an actor. They immediately put him through rigorous training.

However, because he did not do some things well, he was always punished by standing.

Later, it was a leader in the military who saw it and spoke to someone about it, revealing Wang Peng's identity.

Li Yi laughed and said, "Let's make a bet. I bet Lu Ran will definitely run into trouble tomorrow."

"I also think there will be problems."

One person after another placed their bets.

There was no prize involved; it was just a bet.

After everyone had finished speaking, Wang Peng finally spoke.

"I don't think there will be any problems."

Li Yi: "Then we'll wait and see."

On the other side, after Lu Ran and Liu Dayong finished the formalities together, he took out his phone and posted a Weibo.

"Thanks to the support of the Red Star Art and Culture Center, and thanks to the guidance and permission of the heroic and exemplary Instructor Li, I have the honor of participating in the filming of 'Li Yannian, a Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts' and playing this heroic figure. I would like to report to all my fans that I will be going to the army in the next few days to experience life and gain a deeper understanding of the character's background. Please look forward to it."

Having not posted on Weibo for a while, Lu Ran felt it was necessary to update his fans.

The Weibo post quickly attracted a large following.

Why would you need to experience military life to film a TV series?

"Director Lu, are you enlisting in the army?"

"What's going on? Why are we suddenly playing the hero?"

Lu Ran hasn't appeared online since the Spring Festival, and his fans are quite curious about what he's been up to.

"I'm not kidding, but these days there aren't many actors who actually go through the realities of life before filming, are there?"

"There aren't many young actors like me who go out and experience life. At least I haven't heard of any other popular actors going out to experience life."

"What a joke, every minute of their lives is money, how could they possibly be experiencing life?"

"Who is this Li Yannian, who is skilled in both literature and martial arts?"

Below, some netizens provided some background information.

Netizens have also learned the situation; it seems they're making a war movie.

On the other hand, director Xu Gaomin also noticed Lu Ran's Weibo post.

Lu Ran still has a lot of fans. After the official announcement of his new drama, he immediately became a trending topic.

Xu Gaomin keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"I make this type of movie, and Lu Ran also makes this type of movie. Is he trying to compete with me?"

His film, "Nameless River," was released in May.

"It shouldn't be that fast."

Xu Gaomin was full of confidence.

In the realm of war films, there are few directors in China who can surpass him in skill.

These directors all know each other.

Lu Ran's attempt to prove himself in this way is somewhat presumptuous.

……

Around 9 p.m., Lu Ran returned to the military base.

This time, he brought his washbasin and other daily necessities, along with his camouflage uniform, and stayed in the same dormitory as Li Yi and the others.

At 6:20 a.m. the next morning, the reveille sounded, along with the company commander's whistle and shouts.

"First Company, get up!"

On the bed, Li Yi immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.

At that moment, he thought of Lu Ran.

Li Yi has gotten used to this kind of life. Although the others are unwilling, they have trained for so long, so they have also started to get up and get dressed.

Lu Ran is different.

However, when Li Yi looked at Lu Ran's bed and found that the blankets were neatly folded but no one was on it, he was startled.

"Where did Lu Ran go? Did he run away on the very first day?"

Li Yiteng jumped out of bed and quickly scanned the dormitory, but still couldn't find Lu Ran.

Li Yi immediately tensed up.

Where is Lu Ran?

Everyone else got up, but none of them saw Lu Ran.

This time, everyone panicked.

Li Yi immediately said, "Get dressed and go down to report to the instructor!"

Everyone quickly got dressed and ran downstairs to the dormitory building.

But when they saw the line, the tension on their faces disappeared, replaced by surprise.

In the line, Lu Ran had already taken his place in his class's spot.

His clothes and hat were neatly worn, and he looked like a soldier.

Li Yi and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

When they first arrived, getting up wasn't so easy.

Let alone being dressed and standing here at 6:30, I haven't even gotten out of bed by 6:30 yet.

How did Lu Ran manage to do that?
Everyone arrived at the formation with curiosity, but no one spoke. Under the guidance of the instructor, they began morning exercises.

Throughout the entire training process, Lu Ran remained silent, running when told to run and doing pull-ups when told to do them. Not only that, he didn't complain of being tired at all and persevered throughout the entire session.

This instilled fear in the other actors.

What's the situation with Lu Ran?
Is that human being?
They trained until 7 p.m., after which everyone returned to their dormitories to wash up and tidy up their belongings.

In the dormitory, Li Yi asked while folding the quilt, "Lu Ran, what's wrong with you? Why are you up so early this morning?"

Lu Ran patiently shaped the blanket on the bed into a square shape: "You got up a little later than usual."

A question mark appeared above Li Yi's head.

What time do you usually get up?

"5:30 or 6:00."

Another person asked curiously, "How did you manage to keep up with these morning exercises?"

Lu Ran: "When I'm not working, the first thing I do when I get up is to do morning exercises. Coming here feels like coming home. At least my life from morning to breakfast is no different from usual."

The group of people in the dormitory were dumbfounded.

There's something wrong with you!
Are you still a celebrity in the entertainment industry? Are you still a young person of today? Is there anyone like you?
After breakfast, at 8:00 AM sharp, the new training began again, and this time there were more training exercises.

However, no matter what the project is, Lu Ran can complete it.

With his current physique and various talents, completing these basic training sessions shouldn't be a problem.

Not only were Li Yi and his men impressed, but the soldiers in the unit also admired them.

Compared to other actors, Lu Ran is quite different.

After lunch, the company commander called Lu Ran out.

"Lu Ran, could you sing a song for everyone tonight?"

Given Lu Ran's current fame, he is basically known to all these soldiers.

Many people listen to Lu Ran's songs regularly.

Since we've already come all this way, it wouldn't be right not to sing a few songs.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and decided that since he was already in the army, he could sing a few military songs.

He had never sung this type of song before.

"What songs do you want to hear?" Lu Ran asked.

Company Commander: "Sing whatever you want, anything is fine."

"Okay, I understand then."

In the afternoon, in addition to cultural learning, the group continued their training.

After watching the evening news in the afternoon, a group of people went to the training field.

Not only were the soldiers there, but even the propaganda office staff brought their cameras to the scene.

Lu Ran singing for everyone in the army is also used as propaganda material.

Everyone was very excited to hear that they could watch a performance without having to train.

After several rounds of singing, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.

The company commander said, "Now, please welcome Lu Ran up to perform for everyone!"

Amidst applause, Lu Ran stepped out of the ranks, and the company commander handed him the microphone.

The publicity office staff had already set up their cameras and were taking pictures of Lu Ran.

Lu Ran, who had seen many grand occasions, was not nervous at all.

This afternoon he was thinking about what song to sing, and he came up with a few.

However, there's no rush to sing the new song.

Lu Ran waved and shouted, "Hello everyone, what would you like to hear me sing?"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Serve the country with utmost loyalty!"

"sailor!"

"The sea is vast and the sky is boundless!"

Among these, "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty" was the most popular.

"Then I'll sing 'Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty' for everyone."

Lu Ran cleared his throat and began to sing a cappella on the spot.

Although there was no accompaniment, singing it had a unique feel to it, making Lu Ran feel like he was back in his university military training days.

After the song was finished, the atmosphere in the audience reached a new level.

Lu Ran shouted, "Does everyone want to hear me sing a military song?"

"miss you!"

"I have a new song here that I haven't sung before, so I'll sing it for you all here. The song is called 'Green Flowers in the Army'."

As soon as he finished speaking, applause and cheers erupted once again throughout the venue.

The company commander standing to the side had a smile on his face, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

The company commander even took the lead, making the applause even louder.

Nearby, the propaganda department staff wore expressions of delight.

"What did Lu Ran say? Is it a new song? Or a military song?"

"Green flowers in the army"—it sounds like a military song.

"We can enjoy the same benefits as the police now?"

The publicity department staff came here today specifically because they learned that Lu Ran was here.

They had all seen Lu Ran write "A Young Man's Ambition Knows No Sorrow" for the police.

In recent years, not only have public security bureaus in various regions had online accounts, but these military branches also have propaganda accounts.

Lu Ran's new song release is bound to generate a viral short video for their army team, right?

"Record this song for me, record the whole thing!"

The propaganda officer quickly adjusted the camera and stood ready.

When the applause stopped, Lu Ran was ready.

He had already spent his day practicing this song in the vocal training room.

Now I can sing a cappella without any problem.

Then he began to sing slowly.

"The cold wind blows, leaves fall, and the army is a green flower."

My dear comrade, don't miss home, don't miss your mother~

As soon as Lu Ran's singing began, a sorrowful atmosphere enveloped the surroundings.

Upon hearing the second line of lyrics, the company commander's eyes widened in astonishment.

Lu Ran! Who gave you permission to sing this kind of song!
We're all new recruits, don't mess with me!
