This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 396 Who gave you permission to insert this kind of advertisement!
"I knew that Crown Master was holding back on The Masked Singer."

"There's no way around it, the competition format is too problematic. Guan Ye has worked with so many singers, how could he not guess their identities? If he tries to keep it a secret, it's easy to cause problems."

"Now I know why Master Guan came to Lu Ran's place. He can really talk about this stuff so casually."

"Hey everyone, just a heads up, now we call him Second Master, not Master Guan."

The audience found this commentary very interesting.

This is slightly different from the variety shows I've watched before.

It seems more realistic; there's no script, and everyone says what they think.

Then, Lian Xinghan smiled and said, "I share the same thoughts as Second Master. Your performance surprised me, and I look forward to your next performance."

Clearly, in Lian Xinghan's view, the tractor's advancement was a sure thing.

After the two finished speaking, Lu Ran continued to control the situation, chatted with everyone for a few minutes, and then the one-minute voting time was up.

Lu Ran began arranging for a professional judging panel to provide feedback.

Voting first, followed by feedback from a professional judging panel, is to prevent the judges' comments from being biased and influencing the audience's final scores.

Both Lin Xingchu and Su Qingtang's comments were very professional.

Su Qingtang went even further, pointing out some issues with the singing technique, to which Tractor repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Some things can't be found online; only experts can provide targeted guidance after reviewing them.

Su Qingtang was instructing him.

After the two beautiful judges finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao looked helpless and rubbed his face hard with his hand.

"You've all said everything, what else can I say?"

Lu Ran: "Then let's skip it and move on to the second contestant."

Zhou Hao immediately became anxious.

I was just being polite, why did you put me in second place?

"Lu Ran, I suggest you check the tractor driver's license. I don't believe he hasn't practiced vocal music. What if he's a professional trying to smear an amateur?"

Zhou Hao made a joke.

The tractor was already flattered.

"I'm really not a professional. I just figure out how to sing on my own. I sing however I feel comfortable and how to make it sound good."

Zhou Hao: "This is talent!"

After a few words, the voice of the assistant behind the scenes came through Lu Ran's earphones.

"The total score has been calculated."

Lu Ran steered the conversation in that direction, then said, "Now, let's announce the final score for the tractor: 95.2 points."

As soon as the score was announced, Tractor exclaimed with delight, "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone, I..."

With a total score of only 100, a score of 95.2 is definitely not low, and it cannot be ruled out that there are other highly skilled players who came later.

But for Tractor, as an amateur, being able to sing a song on it, exchange a few words with these professional singers, and even receive guidance from Lin Xingchu and Su Qingtang, as well as praise from Zhou Hao, was already a great encouragement.

If it weren't for this fan meeting, he would never have had the chance to meet these people in his life.

"Okay, next one!"

Lu Ran ruthlessly disconnected the tractor's power cord.

Are you trying to give me a sentimental scene?
impossible!
This is Lu Ran's fan meeting. There are no touching stories here, only the purest singing skills!
Netizens burst out laughing.

"Director Lu, give Tractor a chance to finish what he has to say!"

"I feel uneasy without the acceptance speech."

"I really want to hear those inspirational stories, but Director Lu won't let me."

"Director Lu: What's the point of listening to stories? It's all about singing skills, not the stories themselves!"

This swift and decisive move into the second one was unexpected by the audience.

Lu Ran kept his word: five minutes for singing, one minute for voting, and three minutes for commentary. The time would only get shorter, never longer.

The second contestant has successfully connected; she is a girl.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Xiaohua, and the song I will be singing is 'The Earth Sings'."

Su Qingtang immediately became interested.

"They were actually singing my song."

After she sang "The Earth Sings," it became popular on short video platforms like Douyin for a while. To be honest, there aren't many people who have covered it.

Lu Ran: "Let's begin if you're ready."

As always, it was straightforward, without any preamble.

Wang Xiaohua: "Ready."

Then, music started playing.

"Hey--"

Before the audience could react, Wang Xiaohua's voice rang out.

"Holy crap? This is professional, right?"

"No, girl, this is definitely not an amateur track!"

"The organizers are cracking down hard to find out who's come here to fry fish!"

"The Song of the Earth" is to be sung in the style of folk singing, and Wang Xiaohua stunned everyone in the live broadcast room as soon as she opened her mouth.

Even Lu Ran was dumbfounded.

Is this still an amateur track?
How many hidden masters are there among the common people?

When the song was finished, the comments section exploded.

Wang Xiaohua's singing was naturally no match for Su Qingtang's, but even so, it was enough to shock everyone.

Is this the level of contestants at Lu Ran's casually organized fan meeting?
What a joke!
If she were on a variety show with better equipment, she would definitely sing even better.

At that moment, Hu Nengkai couldn't help but send a message to his group chat.

"Did you guys watch Lu Ran's fan meeting? There are some real experts in that competition!"

Someone quickly replied in the group chat.

"How is that possible? Professional singers can participate in this kind of show?"

"He's not a professional singer, but he sings very well."

Hu Nengkai quickly told his friend what he had just seen.

"Really? Lu Ran fried fish successfully?"

"Are there really so many people who can sing in the general public?" "Oh no, if these people really become famous in the future, then they will all be Lu Ran's people."

"Moreover, these people have no connection with any company in the entertainment industry!"

"Lu Ran's fan meeting isn't about his own popularity; he wants to dominate the music scene."

Talent shows are simply about setting up a stage to select stars.

Lu Ran is also setting up a platform, but the difference is that he has complete control over the entire platform.

Looking at the chat in the group, Hu Nengkai was shocked by what everyone was saying.

"Conquer the music scene? If you dare to conquer the music scene today, you dare to create a new entertainment industry tomorrow!"

Hu Nengkai looked at the live stream screen.

He still had the hip-hop show on Orange Video running on his computer.

The Hip Hop Club is still following the traditional path. Lu Ran's two contestants have finished their performances, but the Hip Hop Club hasn't even officially started singing yet.

Meanwhile, on Lu Ran's side, everyone was chatting and laughing.

Wang Xiaohua's final score has been officially released, totaling 96.3 points.

As always, Lu Ran acted swiftly, immediately having the third contestant connect and perform.

Half an hour later, five singers had arrived on Lu Ran's side before the hip-hop performance began.

This is because this episode is a performance segment. If it were any other part of the variety show, it's uncertain whether there would be any performances today.

At this moment, Lu Ran said, "Viewers in the live broadcast room, it's time for commercials. Let all the guest teachers go to the restroom, have a drink of water and take a break. You can watch some commercials to relax."

Hu Nengkai was filled with questions.

"Watching ads to relax? Who are you trying to fool!"

In the live stream, the audience was also outraged.

"You promised no ads, but there are still ads!"

"I want to report Director Lu for inserting commercials during the game!"

No commercials allowed!

Before anyone could send out many comments, the live stream screen had already switched.

In the video, there is a cutting board, and a hand is holding a cleaver and chopping vegetables, with a constant thumping sound coming from it.

"An advertisement for kitchen knives!"

One viewer commented in the live chat.

The scene changes again, and the phone rings.

An elderly woman with white hair walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and picked up her cell phone from the table.

"Hey."

"mom."

When the old lady said "Mom," a smile appeared on her face.

"It must be an advertisement for products for the elderly!" some viewers were still speculating.

The son's voice continued to ring on the phone.

"I promised to come home to see you today, but the company is treating clients to dinner. Is the microwave still working well? Is there anything you need...?"

The old lady immediately waved her hand and said, "I don't lack anything."

As the camera zooms out, a little boy's voice can be heard.

"grandmother."

"Hey."

"I finished my exams today and went to the amusement park with my classmates. Goodbye, Grandma!"

The phone call ended, leaving only silent silence.

The old man stared blankly at his phone, a hint of melancholy on his face.

"I'm absolutely right this time, it's an advertisement for some kind of home furnishings!"

There were still people speculating in the comments section.

But by this time, many viewers had already realized that something was wrong.

This ad is problematic!

"Mom, how's the big TV at home? I'm going to my yoga class, I'm not coming home today."

It's a woman's voice.

As the sound rang out, the camera panned across plates of dishes meticulously prepared by the old lady, finally settling on the dining table.

It was a sumptuous feast.

However, the old man could only dejectedly place his phone on the table, turn around, and slowly leave.

"Everyone's busy, busy, it's good to be busy."

As the scene changes again, sad music begins to play.

In the dimly lit living room, the old woman sat alone on the sofa, looking forlorn.

The large TV at home has been on the home screen, but no programs are playing.

The narration also began at this moment.

Don't let your parents feel lonely; go home and visit them often.

The screen went black at that moment, followed by music.

As the familiar music played, the audience's very being stirred.

"You son of a bitch! Director Lu, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Who the hell would insert an ad like this during a live stream?!"

"I'm having a great time watching the live stream, stop messing with me!"

Because this song is "Come Home Often" sung by Bai Yiyi.

"Find some free time and take the children home to visit often."

The video playing on the screen is a segment from the documentary series "Come Home Often".

The viewers were cursing and swearing, but surprisingly few people left the live stream.

The upper right corner of the screen also reads, "Don't go away, come back right away."

At that moment, Hu Nengkai finally understood.

"This is so positive! Lu Ran actually filmed this kind of public service advertisement specifically for his fan meeting."

There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in the live stream right now. If you insert a public service announcement, who can find fault with that!
