This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 371 Let's have another drink! (Cheers)

Lu Ran mentioned a while ago that he would release six albums, and it hasn't been long since then, and a new song has already arrived.

"Is this from the album? Or is it just a song written for the graduation party?"

Someone asked in the comments section.

Lu Ran replied with a sentence.

"It's not from the album."

If there aren't many songs, Lu Ran can use these songs to make up the numbers.

But he was fighting a war with plenty of resources, so there was no need to make up the numbers.

Lu Ran's reply was also screenshotted and posted by marketing accounts.

"A major battle in the music scene is about to break out, and Lu Ran's new song is ready!"

"Lu Ran's new song is a warm-up for this music scene battle!"

Are the singers in the music industry ready?

Upon seeing this message, Tang Yufeng broke the pen in his hand.

He likes to write his lyrics on paper with a pencil.

After several days of continuous work, he has written a song.

He was quite satisfied with this.

I've already written one.

But Lu Ran's side clearly has more than one song.

"Young people are just too impatient," Tang Yufeng commented.

At that moment, a subordinate walked into the office.

"Brother Guan, President Guo said Lu Ran is releasing a new song again, and asked me to ask you how the songwriting is going?"

Tang Yufeng said irritably, "I'm writing it, I'm writing it. Tell Guo Weicheng to stop asking. If he asks again, he'll write it himself!"

The subordinate shrank back; she dared not speak to Guo Weicheng like that.

Meanwhile, Lian Xinghan was also sitting in his study at home.

He has just finished writing the lyrics and composing the music for a song.

The rest is just fine-tuning during production, which is no big deal.

"Finally finished writing one!"

Lian Xinghan took out his phone and looked at it; the sky had fallen.

"A new song at the graduation party, but it's not included in the album? This young man, are you trying to kill us old folks?"

Lian Xinghan actually regretted saying what he had said to the three Zhangs.

Three albums with at least twenty songs—that's going to kill him.

He looked through the chat and found that Lu Ran had even mentioned the number of new songs he performed at the graduation party in his online chat with netizens.

There are four new songs in total.

"What's the point of even competing? I want to surrender."

Lian Xinghan thought of letting nature take its course.

He had originally wanted to ask if Shunqiziran (the teacher) wrote songs, but now, the only one who could rival Lu Ran was probably the relatively diligent Shunqiziran.

Although Shunqizizi has written far fewer songs than Lu Ran, it is still considered a lot in the music industry.

"Forget it, I'll just let things take their course and won't get involved in this kind of thing."

There are many like Lien Hsing-han in the music industry.

Lu Ran is now the type of person who always gets attention whenever he releases a new song.

This time, Lu Ran was clearly using his own online presence to drive traffic to Qincheng University's graduation party.

This is publicity for Qincheng University!

Time flies, and it's already May 23th.

A stage has been set up on the track and field of Qincheng University.

There are chairs in front of it.

This graduation party is open to the entire school; any student who wants to watch can come, but it is not open to the public.

If other people want to watch, they can only watch the live stream on Douyin.

By 7:30 p.m., a large crowd had already gathered on the playground.

Backstage, Lu Ran was also making final preparations.

He and his classmates sang the opening song.

Then came the performances by other students.

This party was a school event, not his personal stage.

The programs he prepared were all interspersed throughout.

As the time approached 8 o'clock, Qincheng University's Douyin live stream officially started.

The live broadcast room was still in the testing phase, the stage was empty, and the lights were not ready.

But a large influx of viewers had already poured in.

"Alumni, have you all come to our alma mater's gala?"

"Oh right, I'm here to see my alma mater's gala."

"It's been ten years since I graduated, and I miss my alma mater, Qincheng Vocational and Technical College, very much."

You've come to the wrong place!

The netizens chatted and sent comments.

In the music industry, some singers and songwriters also clicked into the live stream and stayed online.

If it weren't for Lu Ran's new song, they definitely wouldn't have paid attention to a university graduation party, but now they have no choice but to watch it and must see it as soon as possible.

In just a few minutes, the number of viewers in Qincheng University's live stream reached 200,000 and is still rising.

Even the actual students of Qincheng University were somewhat surprised to see the number in the upper right corner.

"Wow, is this a graduation party? Our school is really something."

"So many people!"

"Are there that many people in our school?"

"Yes, yes, tonight we are all Lord Qin!"

The internet is filled with silly netizens who occasionally throw in a few witty remarks.

In the audience seats at the gala, in the first row.

Principal Chen and several people who looked like leaders were sitting here.

These people are all principals from other schools who were invited to come.

"Principal Chen, your graduation party has garnered quite a bit of attention this year."

"Qincheng University has produced a big star."

"This Lu Ran is no ordinary celebrity; this kid is really good."

"Old Chen's life is something we can't compare to."

The group chatted amongst themselves.

Principal Chen smiled and said, "It's not as you say. Lu Ran has been neglecting his studies a bit. Fortunately, it hasn't delayed his graduation. He even wrote a few songs for the graduation party tonight."

Principal Chen, being shrewd and calculating, didn't say anything directly. The other principals didn't pay much attention either.

It's just writing songs for graduation parties. We have graduation parties too, and we can sing songs written by Lu Ran!
Rounding up or down doesn't always result in the same outcome.

As it approached eight o'clock, a countdown appeared on the large screen on the stage.

Ten-second countdown.

The students on the track and field eagerly awaited their arrival.

When the countdown reached zero, music immediately started playing.

A song reached everyone's ears.

"Is it possible that one day, time could really go backwards?"

"Let's go back to those bygone years, you and I, that can never return~"

"Perhaps, one day, the world really will come to an end."

"I also want to raise a glass with you, to savor the sweetness of memories~"

The song information then appeared on the big screen.

The song title is "Cheers".

The lyrics, composition, and arrangement are all attributed to Lu Ran, followed by parentheses that say Qincheng University.

The singer list was a long list of names.

It started with Lu Ran, followed by a whole bunch of students' names.

This song was sung by Lu Ran and his students.

Upon hearing the song, the audience immediately recognized Lu Ran's voice.

Those in the music industry who were watching the live stream all thought to themselves, "They've arrived!"

Lu Ran's first new song has been released.

"Cheers" was released in 2011 and is a song by Mayday. It can be said to be a song belonging to the graduation season.

Lu Ran chose this song as the opening, and the students sang it together.

After these four lines were sung, the stage lights came on.

Lu Ran stood in the middle, holding the microphone.

There were also classmates dressed in casual clothes on his left and right.

Youthful and vibrant.

Clips of students began playing on the big screen.

There are clips of everyone studying in the study room, running on the track and field, and friends having dinner together, etc.

The images were all provided by graduates of the school.

When the interlude ended, Hu Wenbin, who was standing next to him, picked up the microphone and started singing.

If I had to choose the image that represents youth...

"That tear, that blue sky, that year of graduation—all came to mind."

"That face that cries and laughs at the same time, yet still wants a hug—that's your face~"

"Thinking back on them, they were so adorable, so pitiful, so moving—how I miss them!"

Everyone sang the graduation song one after another, following the assigned lyrics.

In the live stream, the silly jokes didn't make people laugh anymore.

"They immediately brought back memories for me! I miss my school days!"

"With just one move from Director Lu, I've brought back my youth. It reminds me of the times I played games with my roommates. Now my computer doesn't lag anymore, but maybe the people I used to play with are no longer around."

“When I was in school, it was strange that some uncles would stare at us. Now that I’m old enough to be an uncle myself, I finally understand why they stared at me back then, just like they stare at the students when I pass by the school now.”

The song reached everyone's ears, stirring up memories in their hearts.

Nostalgia always comes suddenly, without conditions.

"When memories burst through the exam paper and burst forth from the past before my eyes~"

"You and I, sweating and drinking soda, stood by the playground~"

"We promised that no matter what, we'd walk into the future together~"

While the audience was lost in memories, a group of singers in the music industry were dumbfounded.

"This song isn't even on the album?"

"It's graduation season now, so releasing this song would be a game-changer."

"This kind of song doesn't even deserve to be included in an album?"

"Lu Ran, you deserve to die!"

Lian Xinghan watched the live stream at home, quietly listening to this song.

Although the students who sang the song were not professional singers, the song was full of emotion.

When the chorus came again, Lu Ran and his students sang together, and the difference in their singing skills became apparent.

But this does not affect the emotions that the song wants to convey.

The popular styles in the Chinese music scene are different from those abroad.

In the Chinese music scene, listeners value the lyrics of songs highly and pay even more attention to the emotions conveyed by the songs.

In this respect, Lu Ran, a graduate, writing a graduation song, can certainly convey emotions very precisely.

"Such an amazing piece of writing isn't even included in the album!"

Lian Xinghan could already foresee that once the official version of "Cheers" was released, it would definitely be on the new song chart.

There's no doubt that graduation season adds to the appeal of this song.

The popularity that short videos alone have brought to this song is enough.

Tang Yufeng's home was relatively simple.

He silently tore the lyrics of a song he had just written that day into pieces and threw them into the trash can.

"Young people are too impetuous; you can't play like that."

After hearing Lu Ran's song, Tang Yufeng felt that the song he had just written that day wasn't very good either.

He wants to rewrite it!
On stage, the singing of the crowd came to an end.

The video on the big screen played until the very end.

"One day we will all become yesterday."

"You accompanied me through this fleeting life, a life that only comes once."

"One day is today, and today is one day!"

"Let me express my gratitude to you, which I've been meaning to say all this time~"

"Let's have another drink!"

"Let's drink another cup of forever!"

The big screen also showed a group of people raising their glasses in a toast.

In the audience, some emotional graduates were already in tears.

Graduation farewells inevitably involve farewell dinners and drinks.

This toast might be the last.
