This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 409 Down with Imperialism!

Chapter 409 Down with Imperialism!
The name of the replacement singer is usually announced in advance for each episode of "The Masked Singer".

This kind of official announcement is the same as saying nothing at all.

After all, the promotional posters only show the singers' appearances, all wearing masks. At most, you can tell whether they are male or female, but you can't tell anything else.

But this time it was different; once the name was announced, everyone's memories were rekindled.

The person wearing the panda head mask in the poster instantly became the focus of everyone's discussion.

"Who's here? Tell me, who's here?"

"She'll be able to sing naturally? Are you kidding me?"

"Isn't he a songwriter?"

"I'll leave it at that and let nature take its course. The teacher has a great figure."

"Holy crap? I definitely have to watch this season of The Masked Singer!"

"Is this really the 'take it as it comes' I know?"

On the other side, Lu Ran also logged into his long-unused "Let Nature Take Its Course" Weibo account and reposted the Weibo post.

I'll also write a tagline.

"Friendship first, competition second. [clasped hands]"

This Weibo post confirmed what the Masked Singer program team said.

"Teacher Shunqizi, you can really sing?"

"I never imagined I'd live to see Shunqi Ziran sing on stage!"

See you Friday night at 8 PM!

The comment section of this Weibo post, titled "Let it happen naturally," immediately exploded.

The topic of "naturally filling in for the Masked Singer" immediately became a trending topic.

A group of singers in the music industry were completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?
Why is this person moving from behind the scenes to the forefront?

If you can sing, why didn't you sing before?

But what excites everyone even more is that it's already quite good if they can naturally move from behind the scenes to the forefront.

Previously, he had always worked behind the scenes, truly mysterious, and many singers couldn't find him even if they wanted to.

Now that I've naturally stepped into the spotlight, I have more opportunities to get involved.

"Quickly find someone from Dongsun Video and get me a ticket to the live recording! I want to go to the recording!"

"Whether he sings well or not, he'll always be my teacher, 'Let Nature Take Its Course'!"

"Whether this kind of big shot sings well or not is not important!"

Zhou Ruiyang was stunned after seeing the news online, so he called Lu Ran.

"Why did you go to The Masked Singer?"

Lu Ran laughed and said, "Let's go up and have some fun, and reveal our identities while we're at it."

"You're quite the trendsetter, but losing is a bit embarrassing."

If you lose, you have to reveal your identity, and if you find out it's Lu Ran, wouldn't that be a bit embarrassing?

At that time, there will definitely be a flood of negative articles.

"I will do my best to survive until the final."

Anyway, there are only a few episodes left until the finals.

After finishing his conversation with Zhou Ruiyang, Su Qingtang called.

"Is this what you mean by not going?"

Lu Ran told Lin Xingchu that he wouldn't go to The Masked Singer.

"Sis, I've already signed the contract, so I can't let it get out. Please keep it a secret for me."

"Now that you've got me into this situation, I'm tempted to go and have some fun too."

"You'd be wasting your time going there; you can't hide your voice."

"That's true."

Su Qingtang's voice isn't particularly distinctive, but there are very few people in the whole country who can sing folk songs at her level. You can guess it by using the process of elimination.

She doesn't need to participate in this kind of program to boost her popularity.

Su Qingtang has been in the industry for so long, but she has never accepted a single advertising endorsement.

On the other side, Star Media.

Ren Xin immediately reported the news to Guo Weicheng.

Guo Weicheng was also shocked after hearing this.

"Why is this person singing? Can he even sing clearly?"

But soon, Guo Weicheng gave up thinking about the problem.

Because this issue is not important to him.

The greatest value of going with the flow lies not in singing, but in songwriting.

Tang Yufeng is now in Cao Cao's camp but his heart is with Liu Bei, which makes Guo Weicheng and other shareholders very dissatisfied.

Lu Ran has released so many new songs during this time, while Tang Yufeng has remained silent.

The shareholders were very disappointed.

I've wanted to replace Tang Yufeng for a long time.

The current problem is that a suitable candidate has not yet been found.

Letting things take their natural course is the best approach.

"Tang Yufeng has repeatedly failed to deal with Lu Ran, but things are different with Shunqi Ziran. If we can bring Shunqi Ziran into Xingyao Media, his path in the music industry will be secure."

Guo Weicheng also thought of Shining Trainees.

Xiang Zihang, who is being heavily promoted by the company, has had a very smooth career development this time. He is number one in both popularity and strength on the show, and even a group of die-hard fans has been established.

It's just not harvest time yet.

Harvesting fans is a skill in itself; it involves steps like manipulating and purifying fans before finally reaping the rewards.

Asking for money right away is obviously a scam.

"Once Xiang Zihang debuts as the first member of the group, we can let nature take its course and create a new album for him. If Xiang Zihang also takes a positive energy route, he might be able to compete with Lu Ran!"

Thinking of this, Guo Weicheng's heart burned with excitement.

"You need to figure something out right away. Go to the recording of The Masked Singer tomorrow and find an opportunity to meet Shunqi Ziran," Guo Weicheng said immediately.

Ren Xin nodded: "I'll arrange it right away."

They have plenty of ways to get into the venue and watch the performance, as long as they don't have the right to vote.

Typically, these kinds of variety shows reserve some seats for other guests.

Guo Weicheng called out to Ren Xin: "If you stay by chance, tell me immediately, and I'll find a way to get Cheng Yarui to participate in The Masked Singer as well."

Guo Weicheng has thought it all out: he wants to do both things well.

The only option is to make Cheng Ya Rui suffer a bit, forcing her to do everything in her power to improve her relationship with Shun Qi Zi Ran.

The next morning, Lu Ran went to the studio to rehearse the program.

Jin Hong came to the scene and listened for a while.

After listening, Jin Hong gave Lu Ran a thumbs up.

"Why do I feel like your introductory song is so fiery? This isn't the natural style."

Lu Ran: "I didn't say I had to maintain my original style here."

"interesting."

After listening to Lu Ran's entry song, Jin Hong was speechless.

Everyone's program rehearsals were conducted individually.

At 7 p.m., the recording of the program officially began.

The VIP section on one side of the audience area was completely full today. VIPs do not have voting rights.

The wealthy woman, Ms. Shen, is sitting right here.

After watching for a while, she noticed that Ren Xin was also sitting there.

"Why are people from Xingyao Media here too?"

Shen Fupo had met Ren Xin before, but she had changed her hairstyle and clothes today, so Ren Xin didn't recognize her. However, Shen Fupo recognized Ren Xin.

"They have ill intentions."

Ren Xin came with a mission.

She sat in the guest section, inquiring about Shunqi's natural identity.

None of the guests around the room knew either.

Then, the host took to the stage.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the ninth episode of The Masked Singer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"Next, please welcome the eliminated singer from last episode to perform the opening song!"

This is the format of the "Masked Singer" program.

Eliminated singers in this performance do not need to wear masks and can sing freely.

At this moment, in the singers' waiting room, Lu Ran was somewhat restless.

It's already seven o'clock!

Even though the evening news was on, he couldn't watch it.

Even when he was filming before, he could still find time to watch the news at 7 o'clock, but today he couldn't watch it on time.

I feel uncomfortable if I can't watch it on time for a day.

The recording of the program is still ongoing.

After the returning singer finished performing, the masked guests chatted for a few minutes.

These masked guests each have their own unique characteristics, and the audience still hasn't guessed their true identities.

However, it is clear that the professional guests present today are not focused on the performances of others, but rather on letting things take their natural course.

However, according to the show's rules, "Let Nature Take Its Course" will be the last to appear, so it's still a long way off before "Let Nature Take Its Course" is ready.

When the official competition began, Yunzhongque was the first to appear.

The order in which these singers will perform will be determined by drawing lots.

Yun Zhongque once again showcased her high notes, making for a fantastic live listening experience.

After the Cloud Sparrow finished singing, the grassland herdsmen, Cherries, and Pulsar took the stage.

Each of the singers has their own unique singing style.

Apart from Cherry's less-than-stellar live performance, the other singers demonstrated exceptional stage presence.

After round after round of competition, the audience wasn't tired at all; on the contrary, they were full of energy.

Hu Nengkai was also among the audience.

Although he was not qualified to comment this time, he had the right to vote.

The production team selected him when choosing audience members.

Those who voted as audience members for The Masked Singer were also specially selected.

"It would be so awesome if Lu Ran came too!"

Hu Nengkai thoroughly enjoyed watching today's match.

These singers all sang with incredible energy.

"The pressure of going with the flow is immense. These are all talented singers; how strong must their skills be to stay?"

"Even Cherry played well today, better than her previous performances."

"Cherries don't want to be eliminated, and they especially don't want to be eliminated by laymen."

In the audience, people were also chatting.

The host walked onto the stage in high heels.

"Our five singers from The Masked Singer have all finished their performances. Next up is the replacement singer, Shunqi Ziran. Speaking of Shunqi Ziran, everyone should be familiar with his name. His works include..."

The host read aloud the work that was written naturally.

Production is limited, but each piece is a top-quality product.

Each song title elicited a gasp of surprise from the audience.

"Next, please welcome Shunqiziran to perform his introductory song. The introductory song will not be included in the voting. After the introductory song, he will perform his official competition song."

As soon as he finished speaking, the host looked towards the main stage.

The stage lights were dim.

Wearing a panda headband, Lu Ran slowly walked to the center of the stage.

At that moment, applause and cheers erupted throughout the venue.

Countless eyes were focused on him.

"You look very young; you've taken very good care of yourself."

"To this day, we only know his pen name, but we don't know what he looks like or who he really is."

"I really want to take off the panda mask and see who he is!"

The song title appeared on the large screen on the stage.

"Full Throttle".
