This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 370 This was definitely filmed by Lu Ran.
After Lu Ran finished speaking, the students around him also fell into thought.

Lu Ran was speechless. You guys really think you can compare me to Qincheng University?
Can't tell the difference between the two kings anymore?
How can I, the mere head of a combustion workshop, compare to Qincheng University?

If I weren't a student at Qincheng University, I wouldn't be able to even meet the president of Qincheng University once I left the campus.
Despite netizens calling him "Director Lu" all the time, Director Lu's rank isn't that high.

They were still considered younger brothers in front of the president of Qincheng University.

As for fame, there's no comparison; they're not even in the same league.

"It seems to be not as good as our school."

The students around them came to a conclusion.

Hu Wenbin said, "You can't say that. You may not be as famous as Qincheng University, but you're a celebrity. The publicity you can generate is definitely better than the school issuing its own recruitment ads."

For a school of Qincheng University's caliber, advertising is purely for publicity and brand awareness.

There isn't a significant difference between schools at this level.

Apart from a few particularly competitive majors, the rest really depend on the student's personal preferences.

Lu Ran countered, "I think I would give college entrance exam takers the impression that I'm a celebrity, or that I'm an unexpected addition to Qincheng University."

It's truly an unexpected fact that Qincheng University has only produced one star, Lu Ran, over the years.

Hu Wenbin thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. By the way, aren't you a director and screenwriter? Why don't you shoot a video where your face isn't shown? Make use of your strengths."

Lu Ran nodded: "That's fine."

This is just a promotional video; anyone can do that.

When we made promotional videos for various cities before, the online response was quite good.

Lu Ran began searching his mind for any useful materials.

Before long, Lu Ran came up with a good idea.

He patted Hu Wenbin on the shoulder: "After you finish filming the video, can you post it using the student union account?"

Hu Wenbin shook his head: "I have already stepped down from the position of minister. Alas, people forget you when they leave. I can only submit it for you."

Lu Ran was satisfied: "That's fine then, just don't say I made it."

Hu Wenbin asked in surprise, "Have you decided what you want to do?"

"Absolutely, I think you can do it."

Hu Wenbin waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't even act, how can I act?"

Lu Ran was displeased upon hearing this.

"How can you say that? Jiang Yixuan can't act either, but he's still been able to appear in so many TV dramas and movies."

Hu Wenbin looked expectant: "You mean my acting is better than Jiang Yixuan's?"

"No, what I meant was that whether you can act or not is not important. What's important is whether a sugar daddy is interested in you. You've already been chosen. Get ready to be the male lead."

Hu Wenbin was speechless.

The surrounding students also curiously gathered around.

"I'd like to act too, are there any spots available?"

"Director, please, let me act in this role. I enjoy discussing the script with you at night."

"Director, I know a lot of moves, let me do it."

Seeing a group of boys rushing towards him, Lu Ran had a look of disappointment on his face.

These people are so negative!
However, the short film he wants to shoot doesn't require many people, and they don't even need to show their faces; just a few specific shots will suffice.

After the rehearsal was finished, Lu Ran created a group chat for the selected actors.

That evening, he drafted a simple script and posted it in a WeChat group.

"The script is done. You can take a look. There are no lines. You just need to cooperate with me to shoot a few scenes. I will handle the only narration."

Lu Ran is so considerate. Knowing that everyone's lines aren't very good, he even skipped the lines altogether.

Hu Wenbin opened the group chat and clicked on the file titled "Qincheng University Admissions Promotional Video".

"This script is that simple?"

He opened the script and saw the first scene written in it.

"Sitting on a basketball hoop, hands in his hair, looking extremely anxious, the narration asks, 'Are you anxious because your score is too high and you don't know which university to go to?'"

Hu Wenbin read aloud the lines from the script, his tone turning into a question at the end.

Dude, is this recruitment video of yours even legitimate?
Is this dialogue even accurate?

Different shots will be filmed later.

The second line of narration is, "Are you troubled by having too many choices because you're too excellent?"

Hu Wenbin immediately lost his composure.

It has to be said, they are a perfect match.

After reading the entire script, Hu Wenbin immediately said in the group chat: "Film it quickly, I can't wait, I want to play an anxious student!"

In the group chat, a group of students who had been lured in had also finished reading the script.

"Is it too late for me to quit now?"

"I'm definitely filming this video! Don't regret it if you want to back out!"

"Senior Lu Ran, hurry up!"

Lu Ran could tell from everyone's reaction in the group chat that they were all eagerly waiting.

The next day, a group of people went around the school and filmed everything.

It doesn't require any acting skills at all; it's all driven by interest.

Once these clips were filmed, Lu Ran quickly edited the video and sent it to Hu Wenbin.

“Using the student union account is fine, but it would be best to use the school’s official account.”

"I will handle it!"

Hu Wenbin immediately began to help make the contact.

In fact, Lu Ran could have contacted the school's new media department himself. The reason he didn't contact them directly but instead had Hu Wenbin do it was quite simple.

Lu Ran has a sense of shame.

After several twists and turns, thanks to Hu Wenbin's connections as a retired cadre, the video finally reached the new media teacher at Qincheng University after being passed through multiple layers of channels.

The teacher in charge of the new media account fell silent after watching the video.

He looked at the student born in the 00s and asked, "Do you think this video will go viral?"

"Teacher, make a hot one!"

The teacher watched the video again and found nothing inappropriate, just a little strange.

"Then send it."

After going through multiple layers of review, the video was finally posted on Qincheng University's official Douyin account.

On Douyin (TikTok), high school graduates who have been searching for information about universities online recently often see various videos related to universities popping up on their phones.

These graduates were scrolling through their feeds when they came across this video from Qincheng University.

Are you anxious because you have too high a score and don't know which university to go to? Are you annoyed because you are too outstanding and have too many choices?

In the video, a student sits on a basketball hoop, looking anxious, while other students behind him appear troubled.

The group of high school graduates originally intended to leave, but they didn't.

This video is so bizarre, I'll watch it a few more times.

Below the video are the admissions office's contact number and WeChat official account information.

After the first two sentences were finished, the catchy advertising narration continued.

"Great news! Great news! Qincheng University is enrolling! Not 749, not 699, only 609!"

Below this, there's an additional small note: "The specific cut-off score depends on the admission requirements of the province where the candidate resides!"

The advertisement continued to play.

"Mrs. Zhou's son and Uncle Ye's daughter are both applying! It's a long-established prestigious university with 83 years of experience in education, a trustworthy comprehensive undergraduate university and a Double First-Class university!"

Listening to that mesmerizing sound, and those incredibly tacky images.

The group of high school graduates watching the video looked at the name of the person who posted it.

"Qincheng University, is this a video posted by an official account?"

"Is this school really that outrageous?"

At that moment, a voice reached everyone's ears.

"We solemnly promise that the cafeteria staff at Qin University will not toss the food in the pan, they will not toss the food in the pan!"

This statement resonated with many students.

"But is it that I don't want to go? It's because my score isn't high enough!"

"What did you say 609? I thought it was 609 yuan. Turns out it's the total score for the college entrance exam. Sorry to bother you."

"Could we pick one lucky fan to be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam?"

The comments from netizens quickly flooded the comment section.

Viewers who watched the video gave it a thumbs up, causing the video's popularity to soar.

The next day, the video went viral on Douyin (TikTok), garnering over ten million views.

This publicity campaign was quite effective.

Previously, the videos posted by Qincheng University themselves only got a few hundred likes at most, never the hundreds of thousands they have now.

As more and more netizens paid attention, some astute netizens discovered the problem.

"That's not right. Qincheng University's previous videos weren't like this. This video doesn't seem to be from Qincheng University."

"Brothers, I have an answer."

"Coincidentally, I also have an answer. It must have been that person who took the picture."

"It's exactly the same as the promotional videos for scenic spots he filmed before."

"@Lu Burning, did you film this video?"

Before Lu Ran could reply, students from Qincheng University responded below.

"It was taken by senior Lu Ran. I even saw them on the playground when they took the picture."

"I knew it was him! His style is so out of place with the art style of Qincheng University!"

"@Lu Burning, get out here right now and give me a chance to be admitted to Qincheng University!"

Netizens flooded the comments section with tags for Lu Ran.

This caused Lu Ran's phone to vibrate incessantly, and he eventually had to turn off the hand-shaking notification.

"Who leaked the information? Didn't we agree not to say it was me?"

To protect his image, Lu Ran bribed the cast members with a barbecue, telling them not to tell anyone.

This is just a small contribution, nothing to brag about.

Looking at the comments section, Lu Ran understood.

This was leaked by a passerby.

Lu Ran replied in the comments section.

"We welcome all students to apply to Qincheng University! On the evening of June 23rd, Qincheng University's graduation gala will be broadcast live on Douyin. Everyone is welcome to watch!"

After promoting it in the comments section, Lu Ran also promoted it on Weibo.

"My four years at Qincheng University are my most precious memories of youth. On the evening of June 23rd at 6 PM, the Qincheng University graduation gala will be broadcast live on the official Qincheng University Douyin account. My new song will be previewed at the graduation gala. I wish all graduates a bright future and hope that we will always remember the sense of responsibility and vision that our alma mater taught us."

The graduation party is getting closer and closer.

After Lu Ran finished promoting his music, people in the music industry also took notice.

"Wait, is there another new song?"
