This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 390 Searching for "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"

At this moment, the appearance of the words "Lu Ran's Fan Club" in Lu Ran's live stream attracted a large number of onlookers.

Some netizens stumbled upon Lu Ran's live stream while scrolling through their phones, and after seeing the banner, they clicked on it to see what was going on.

The number of people in the live stream room kept increasing.

Douyin (TikTok) quickly provided Lu Ran's live stream with exclusive traffic promotion.

The fan meeting officially began from the moment it was launched.

More and more people are joining Lu Ran's live stream.

Once the total number of people exceeded 100,000, Lu Ran cleared his throat.

"Now that most people have arrived, I'd like to officially announce the participation method and competition rules for the first Lu Ran Fan Meeting."

Lu Ran held a piece of paper in his hand and said in a clear and articulate voice: "Registration for the first Lu Ran Fan Meeting officially begins at midnight tonight. Registration will last for ten days and will close after ten days. To register, you need to submit your personal information, a demo of the song you will be performing in the competition, and your contact information."

Let me explain the difference between the professional and amateur tracks. For example, if you make a living by singing, such as an internet celebrity who sings on Douyin or a live streamer who sings on other websites, you must enter the professional track.

The amateur track is for people who don't make a living by singing or create music-related social media content; these are the people who register for the amateur track.

Lu Ran didn't impose too many restrictions; he mainly differentiated people based on their profession.

There are only two tracks: those who make a living by singing and those who enjoy singing.

In terms of overall ability, those who make a living by singing are definitely stronger.

But amateur tracks aren't necessarily devoid of top talents.

"Not bad, not bad, Director Lu really listens to advice. Then I'll sign up for the amateur track."

"It looks pretty good. It's always better to compare the professional and amateur groups separately than to compare them together."

"What if a professional impersonates an amateur?"

Some netizens have raised questions.

Lu Ran explained, "If a professional pretends to be an amateur and tries to rig the amateur track, I trust my judgment and everyone's eyes. Once discovered, the person will be disqualified from the competition."

This kind of behavior cannot be completely eliminated, but it can be detected during the competition.

Netizens were very satisfied with Lu Ran's response.

After answering the netizens' questions, Lu Ran continued, "Once the number of applicants reaches a certain number, we will notify you of the competition time. Our competition date has not yet been determined. The competition time is from 8 pm to 10 pm. There will be five minutes for singing, two minutes for comments and interaction, one minute for voting via bullet comments, and then the next person will be selected."

The competition is divided into preliminary rounds, elimination rounds, and a final round. Singers who advance to the preliminary rounds will undergo a selection process based on the quality of their song demos.

Everyone moved on from what Lu Ran said, but one sentence in the middle caught their attention.

"How much are you asking for? Five minutes for singing, two minutes for commentary, one minute for voting, that's only eight minutes per contestant? You could select at least seven people in an hour!"

"More than seven, and if the song is short, we can go even faster."

"Other variety shows take half a day to finish, how come yours is so fast?"

Is it really that straightforward?

"Wait, are there any ads?"

Seeing everyone's comments, Lu Ran laughed and said, "There are ads."

He had to insert commercials, but the commercials he was going to insert were not the commercials that everyone thought they were.

However, Lu Ran did not intend to reveal this matter, but rather to give the audience a surprise.

"I'm relieved to see the ads; otherwise, I'm really worried you won't be able to keep going."

After the audience had processed this wave of content, Lu Ran continued reading.

"The fan meeting will have three professional judges: Lin Xingchu, Zhou Hao, and Su Qingtang."

As soon as Lu Ran finished speaking, the live chat exploded.

"Who are you calling a professional reviewer?"

"Say that name again!"

"Why did you manage to invite Teacher Su here?"

"Dude, this is just a live stream, are you making me afraid to go on?"

"You mean if I sign up for the competition now, I'll get critiques from three professional singers: Lin Xingchu, Zhou Hao, and Su Qingtang?"

"What an amazing competition! It's worth it to chat and exchange a few words with these three big shots."

Seeing the comments from this group of people, Lu Ran was displeased.

"What are you saying? Isn't it worth it for me, Lu Ran, to chat with you during my live stream?"

A chorus of boos erupted in the live chat.

who cares?
At this moment, the number of viewers in Lu Ran's live stream has exceeded 300,000.

Netizens were speechless after reading these messages.

Many of the original shareholders were at a loss.

At first, everyone just wanted to do it casually, with Lu Ran contributing some money to have some fun. Who would have thought that Su Qingtang would be invited by Lu Ran?

Many people have already announced this big news in their respective group chats.

"Lin Xingchu and Su Qingtang will be the judges at Lu Ran's fan meeting!"

"Two judges aren't enough, are they?"

"There was another person, what was his name again? He was a man."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Really, you should go to Lu Ran's live stream right now, he's still talking about it."

Many singers' groups are now buzzing with excitement.

Most people are not qualified to participate in the talent shows held by various platforms, but Lu Ran, whose application process has almost no restrictions, should be able to participate, right?

"The contestants' scores are 30% from professional judges and 70% from the audience. As the organizer, I do not participate in the voting."

Singers from Burning Studio will also be mixed in with the professional track contestants, but they will keep their identities hidden. You can try to guess who they are! Professional track contestants, rest assured, singers from Burning Studio will not participate in the final competition.

This was also Lu Ran's arrangement.

"Wow! The live stream is a natural mask. As long as the voice is well concealed, who can guess who's behind it!"

"This is the real Masked Singer!"

"This fan meeting is interesting. There are fast-paced competitions, and there are also experts hiding in there for everyone to guess their identities."

"I can't wait to watch it!"

Seeing everyone's comments, Lu Ran smiled. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Everyone should participate; the more people, the better.

For fan meetings, if there are many people, it simply means sitting in front of the computer for a while longer, with no additional costs.

Lu Ran displayed all the rules he had just announced on the left side of the live stream screen so that all viewers could see them.

At that moment, he picked up the guitar that was next to him.

Seeing Lu Ran holding the guitar in his arms immediately piqued the interest of netizens.

Is this a song?

Lu Ran laughed and said, "I said before that I was going to release an album, but there has been no news in the music scene for so long. I'll take the lead and let you listen to the first song of the new album 'Youth' in the live broadcast room. The official version of this song will be officially released tomorrow at noon. Everyone can listen to it on various music apps at that time."

"This is a real benefit, no complaints!"

"I told you not to quit so soon, and there was a pleasant surprise."

"Hey you who just left, come back quickly! Lu Ran is about to sing a new song!"

This resulted in even more viewers remaining in the live stream.

The more people there are, the more people will know about the fan meeting.

This is exactly the effect Lu Ran wanted.

"This song is also a promotional song for the fan club. It's about making friends through music and finding the brightest star in the night sky. Here's 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' for everyone."

After Lu Ran said the song title, he slowly started playing the guitar.

In the album "Youth", Lu Ran prepared songs of different types.

Youth is full of all sorts of things, and dreams are also a part of youth.

Since it happened to be a fan meeting, Lu Ran adjusted the order of his song releases.

"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is a rock song by Escape Plan, released in 2011. The song remains popular even after more than a decade.

In the live stream, only the sound of guitar and accompaniment remained.

As the light and ethereal intro began, Lu Ran's singing voice rang out.

"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear me?"

"The loneliness and sighs in the heart of those who look up."

"The brightest star in the night sky, do you remember it?"

"The figure that once walked with me, now vanished in the wind."

When Lu Ran's singing voice came through, the viewers in the live broadcast room felt a strange feeling.

It's like a dream that had been covered in dust in my heart has poked its head out again.

Many people took out their headphones and put them on.

Although it was just an ordinary live stream, Lu Ran managed to create a reverb effect through his singing skills.

Its infectivity is off the charts.

"I pray to have a transparent heart and eyes that can shed tears."

"Give me the courage to believe again, to reach beyond the lies and embrace you~"

"Whenever I can't find meaning in my existence, whenever I'm lost in the darkness..."

"The brightest star in the night sky, please guide me closer to you~"

When the chorus began, Lu Ran's voice still didn't have that heart-wrenching outburst, but rather a sense of restraint.

The singing reached the ears of the viewers in the live broadcast room.

At this very moment, all over the country.

Many music lovers have thought of a lot of things.

I love singing but I don't have a stage.

There are also people who want to pursue their dreams, but they simply don't have the opportunity.

It's not just musicians, but also many other confused people.

When you feel lost, is there a star in your heart that guides you?

This song isn't particularly amazing, but it gently soothes the hearts of listeners like a flowing stream.

"I'm getting a little teary-eyed."

"Director Lu always resorts to sentimentality; can't he come up with something a little more risqué?"

"I just graduated and am currently working at a new company. I'm a new employee now, and I really couldn't hold back my tears when I heard this song."

As the song came to an end, Lu Ran's voice rang out again.

"Whenever I can't find meaning in my existence, whenever I'm lost in the darkness..."

"The brightest star in the night sky, please light my way forward~"

"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear me?"

"The loneliness and sighs in the heart of those who look up."

Lu Ran's fingers swept across the guitar strings, and the singing stopped abruptly.

"That's all for today's live stream. I hope everyone will help promote the fan club. Thank you!"

Lu Ran closed the live stream.

Viewers stared at their phone screens, which displayed that the live stream had ended, still caught up in the emotions of the song.

After a while, the group of people finally realized what was happening.

"Lu Ran's Fan Meeting: A Competition Format Never Before Seen!"

"Lin Xingchu, Su Qingtang, and that man are the professional judges!"

Lu Ran's new album song released!

Each of these messages is more explosive than the last.

Soon, news of Lu Ran's live stream spread across the entire internet.

This immediately drew the attention of the entire music industry.
