This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 375 Dimensional Reduction Attack, Operation Guzheng

Everyone listened to the new song tonight.

"The Road Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom" and "Cheers," both songs that belong to the graduation season, definitely have the potential to become hits.

Moreover, these two songs will be brought up every graduation season.

Every year there are graduates, and every year there are people singing.

This has many benefits for singers.

This kind of song also has a name: pension insurance.

"For those who said they wanted to improve, your chance to improve has arrived!"

"This is the first time Burning Studio has publicly sought singers; we can't miss this opportunity!"

"Never mind, I'm signing up now."

Burning Studio's Weibo post was like dropping a bomb in the music industry.

Previously, Lu Ran overturned the Huaqu Awards, and many old guys wanted to form cliques to isolate Lu Ran.

But now, Lu Ran has split the music scene.

We still need to be able to distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend.

What future do you have working for those old men?
Do you think old folks can make you famous just by eating and sleeping on your food?

Can you create a representative work?
I, Lu Ran, can do it!
Here are these two songs; let's see who takes the initiative.

This was Lu Ran's intention.

However, although it was intentionally brought out to unite colleagues, it doesn't mean that just anyone can sing it.

The necessary procedures must be followed, and only trustworthy individuals can collaborate with Burning Studio.

In the hotel, Jiang Yaofeng also came across the Weibo post from Burning Studio.

He watched the entire graduation party of Qincheng University.

Now that he's seen this Weibo post, Jiang Yaofeng has to admit that he's been tempted.

He's already a top star, but he still doesn't have a single hit that breaks out of the mainstream. His so-called representative works are only visible to his fans.

It goes without saying which song, "The Road Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom" or "Cheers," will become a hit.

Even if not all the profits from the song go to Lu Ran, the popularity boost from the song alone is enough for the singer.

If I ask Lu Ran for help now, will he agree?

Jiang Yaofeng thought of the conflict he had with Lu Ran before.

It's impossible to expect Lu Ran to put aside his conflicts.

You're all adults, don't be so naive. Why should they put aside their conflicts?

Moreover, if he stands with Lu Ran, it would be tantamount to breaking ties with Guo Weicheng.

He previously collaborated with Guo Weicheng because Guo Weicheng had resources in the film and television industry, but it's been a year now, and apart from a few insignificant variety show opportunities, he hasn't received a single film or television project.

Jiang Yaofeng also gave up on acting.

“I think singing Lu Ran’s songs is not that simple.”

Jiang Yaofeng just wanted to slap himself hard right now.

If he had been Lu Ran's mentor back then, the internet wouldn't be saying Jiang Yaofeng was blind, but rather that he had a keen eye for talent.

On the other side, after Lu Ran finished packing his things, he ran into Principal Chen, who had come to inspect the backstage area.

Principal Chen was beaming with pride and looked very happy.

Backstage, a group of students greeted, "Hello, Principal."

Everyone is quite familiar with Principal Chen.

The reason they were familiar with each other was simple: they often ran into Principal Chen when they ate in the school cafeteria.

Sometimes, if they happen to bump into each other, Principal Chen will use his campus card to randomly treat a lucky student to a meal.

"Thank you everyone."

Principal Chen chatted with everyone for a few minutes before coming to stand in front of Lu Ran.

"I won't say goodbye. We'll see each other again on graduation day."

Principal Chen had a big smile on his face.

Lu Ran: "I'm still waiting for you to turn my tassel."

At Qincheng University's graduation ceremony, the president must confer degrees on the graduates during the degree conferment ceremony; this is an essential procedure.

Principal Chen's expression turned serious: "You are different from the other students in the school. The school can't help you much, but I think that doing arts and literature work is different from doing scientific research work, but it also has similarities."

No matter how far you go in your artistic work, never forget these three sentences.

Lu Ran looked at her with a listening expression.

When a mere department head like Lu is given instructions from a vice-ministerial level leader, he must listen attentively.

These are all invaluable words of advice.

Principal Chen slowly said, "It always represents the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, the direction of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the Chinese people."

After saying these three sentences, Principal Chen smiled and said, "Take your time."

After saying that, Principal Chen left.

Lu Ran pondered these three sentences for a moment.

He had heard these three sentences before, but he had never thought about them in his artistic work.

But at this moment he began to think seriously.

"Advanced productive forces refer to the use of advanced technology to produce high-level works that showcase China's tremendous achievements in industrial modernization. The path of film and television industrialization must be taken, and the arts and culture industry cannot lag behind in industrial modernization!"

Lu Ran compared this first sentence with his work in literature and art.

At least he's on the right track right now.

Both Liaoyuan Studio and Xinghuo Pictures follow a professional approach.

The entire work process is documented, leaving valuable experience for future projects.

We must resolutely eliminate the small-workshop-style working model prevalent in the industry.

Lu Ran then analyzed the second point.

"The direction of advanced culture is to use vivid stories and innovative methods to explain contemporary Chinese values."

This is a long and arduous task.

Even on Earth, very few people can do that.

As for the third point, it is to always represent the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people. "For artistic creation, this is easy to understand. We must truly stand from the perspective of the people to refine our works, and use themes that the people like to see and hear to create works that reflect the spiritual outlook of the people."

Lu Ran pondered these three sentences and found them increasingly insightful.

As a guiding principle, it also points out the direction.

"Unfortunately, many people in the entertainment industry don't understand, or rather, don't want to understand."

A confident look appeared on Lu Ran's face.

"You don't understand, but I do, and I will make you understand."

That evening, Lu Ran didn't go to Wutongyuan, but instead went back to his dormitory and stayed with his roommates.

At times like these, the dormitory is still quite lively.

The next morning, Lu Ran went to the playground for a run as usual.

After finishing the run, he rushed to raise the flag. Once the red flag was at its highest point, Lu Ran opened the system's lottery interface.

"May the motherland bless me, may my alma mater bless me, ten consecutive draws!"

After the points were deducted, Lu Ran waited for the lottery results.

Before long, light appeared before his eyes.

Cards appeared one by one on the system panel.

Lu Ran examined all the prizes.

Some of these are consumables I've drawn before, like experience point cards.

There were a few more that Lu Ran had never met.

[Collective Talent Card: Unity is Strength: Apply this effect card to the entire group. After use, group cohesion increases by 100%. The host can only use this on one company under their own name. Note: Unity is strength!]

[Collective Talent Card: Swift and Decisive: Apply this effect card to the entire group. After use, the group's work efficiency increases by 100%. The host can only use this on one company under their own name. Note: The group's efficiency will exceed your expectations.]

[Musical Instrument: Lv3 Erhu Skill Card]

[Universal Voice Talent Card: After use, the host will gain multiple voice timbres, unrestricted by vocal conditions. Note: Bro, your voice is really nice.]

After seeing these rewards, Lu Ran immediately gave the two collective talent cards to the Liaoyuan Studio.

These two talent cards are quite powerful; anyone who joins the Liaoyuan Studio will be affected.

Once you leave the company, things return to normal.

With these two cards, the production speed of Liaoyuan Studio can be increased, and he can unlock the redemption rights for anime movies and animations as soon as possible.

As for the erhu, it was also useful to him; the versatile tone was quite interesting.

Everyone's timbre is the same, and it can be changed through vocalization, but only to a limited extent.

With this versatile timbre, he can imitate all kinds of timbres.

It's not wrong to imitate a woman's way of speaking.

"You could pretend to be a little sister while playing video games."

Lu Ran then looked at the next prize.

[The novel *The Three-Body Problem*]

Lu Ran was stunned.

How did this happen, they even produced a novel for me?

"This is to encourage me to pursue a career as a writer. The Three-Body Problem isn't out of the question either; if we have the Three-Body Problem, we can make a TV series about it."

Lu Ran placed the novel in the system's inventory.

He had read "The Three-Body Problem" on Earth and was deeply impressed by many things in it.

The term "dimensional reduction attack" originated from "The Three-Body Problem".

If he were to write it, he would need to reread "The Three-Body Problem" and revise some parts that didn't fit this world.

"Now that we have The Three-Body Problem, shouldn't we have The Wandering Earth too?"

If "The Wandering Earth" is actually made into a movie, it would mean that Star Film Production's production capabilities have reached a new level.

Lu Ran's gaze fell on the last prize.

[Lucky Event Card: Using this card will result in encountering a lucky event in the future.]

Lu Ran had never seen this card before, so he simply used it.

After the card disappeared, he didn't notice anything unusual.

On his way back to his dormitory, he didn't find any money, nor did he rescue any beautiful women who wanted to repay him with their bodies.

Lu Ran wandered around the campus several times but didn't trigger any lucky events, so he simply returned to his dormitory.

My roommates were all there in the dorm.

Everyone turned on their computers, and the five of them played games together as a team, while the remaining person cheered them on.

Lu Ran didn't encounter any lucky events where the opposing team fed him kills while playing games.

As they fought, Lu Ran forgot about it.

When it was noon, Cheng Dong said, "Why don't we go eat at that braised pork rice place outside the school? If we don't eat now, we won't have another chance to eat it."

This braised pork rice shop has been open for many years; it was there when we first enrolled in school.

No one objected.

A group of people left the dormitory and went straight to the braised pork rice shop.

The six of them found a table, sat down, and started chatting.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to Lu Ran's fully automatic guzheng.

Cheng Dong: "I still think your guzheng is a useless thing."

Lu Ran then reverted to his student mode: "Don't talk nonsense. This guzheng helped me graduate, how could it be useless? By the way, let me tell you a story."

Lu Ran thought of the Guzheng Operation in "The Three-Body Problem".

He modified the story, saying that nanomaterials were used to create flying blades, forming strings like those on a zither, which could slice cargo ships into thin slices like bread.

After listening, everyone began to consider the feasibility.

Only the owner of the braised meat shop glanced at Lu Ran several times as he listened to his eloquent speech.

This shop appears to be a husband-and-wife business, but in reality, the owners are spies.

Upon hearing about nanomaterials and the Guzheng Project, and given that Lu Ran's claims seemed plausible, the boss became interested.

They wanted to contact people like Lu Ran who might have access to classified information.
