This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 419 Lu Ran's Seabed, The Seabed That Follows Nature

The image of the awards ceremony had already appeared in Lu Ran's mind.

The large poster read "Jin Ke La Award," the large screen also displayed "Jin Ke La Award," and the presenters were saying the same thing.

"The winner of the first Golden Fertilizer Award..."

Lu Ran was speechless at the thought of this scene.

I wish I hadn't put this in the backup list.

At first, he thought that with so many names, it wouldn't matter if some silly netizens chose "Jin Ke La" as their name, since there were other names to choose from.

Unexpectedly, most netizens chose this name.

Moreover, judging from the current vote difference, the name "Jin Ke La" will most likely be finalized.

"What a disaster! Oh well, I made the choice myself."

It's all thanks to the collective creativity of the entire nation, and the ever-increasing number of hilarious netizens.

"This is the people's choice, that's right, this is the people's choice."

Lu Ran convinced himself.

He made arrangements for Li Quan's follow-up work.

Once the name is decided, there's still a lot to do, but fortunately he has plenty of time to prepare, and much of the preparation work has already been done.

"Now let's do the second thing."

Lu Ran opened WeChat and sent a message to Wang Jiayue.

"Are you alright? If you are, come record a song."

Wang Jiayue is watching cartoons at home right now.

Upon seeing Lu Ran's message, he suddenly sat up.

What song should we record?

"Never mind that, come to the company's recording studio right away."

Wang Jiayue put down the cartoon and rushed to the company immediately.

Lu Ran was already waiting for her in the recording studio.

Lu Ran handed the printed document to Wang Jiayue.

"Record a song on the fly and capture the emotions in it."

Wang Jiayue looked at the song title.

The song is called "Underwater".

This version features a durian.

Wang Jiayue looked at the lyrics.

"Scattered moonlight pierced through the clouds, hiding from the crowd, spreading out like scales on the sea."

"The waves wet your white dress, trying to push you back; the waves wash away the bloodstains, vainly hoping to warm you."

As she watched, Wang Jiayue's emotions were gradually affected by the lyrics.

This song made her feel depressed.

The lyrics alone are depressing.

The feeling of despair when someone sinks to the bottom of the sea is almost suffocating.

Wang Jiayue quickly realized what the song was about.

In this world, there are some people who suffer from mental illnesses.

Pressure from society, pressure from family, or various other reasons—many people in today's world face this problem.

They have no interest in life and live each day in a gloomy mood.

Ironically, many healthy people pretend to have depression, seemingly treating it as something to brag about, and saying they have depression online.

Those who actually suffer from depression probably don't want to have this illness.

Wang Jiayue is quite familiar with this because a friend of hers had this disease.

She was naturally good at understanding the emotions in songs. After preparing for an hour, she said to Lu Ran, "We can begin."

Lu Ran nodded.

The main reason for releasing the song "Underwater" is to promote Xingyao Media.

Without the song "Under the Sea," how would Phoenix Legend's version of "Under the Sea" have come about?

The entire song was recorded in less than half an hour.

Wang Jiayue is now singing songs with increasing ease, displaying a composure and strength beyond her years.

“It’s really unfortunate for singers of the same age to encounter a singer like Wang Jiayue.”

Lu Ran sighed inwardly.

I got a new song and sang it very well within an hour.

This is the future superstar.

"Luckily, I used cheat codes."

Lu Ran felt a little relieved.

He quickly finished producing "Underwater" and uploaded it directly to various platforms. He also had Wang Jiayue create a short video for Douyin (TikTok), featuring only the chorus. This is how Wang Jiayue became popular when she sang "Youth."

Her fans are much more serious; they all came to listen to her sing.

Not long after its release, the song "Underwater" quickly became popular thanks to the combined popularity of Lu Ran and Wang Jiayue.

This song would have become a hit even without any promotion; it was just a matter of time. Lu Ran simply accelerated the process.

By the next day, netizens had already started using this song as background music and editing clips from movies and TV shows.

Many people don't like listening to these melancholic songs, but some people do.

Listening to songs is about finding resonance; some people can hear the emotions in the songs.

"Listening to this song, which Lu Ting and Jia Yue collaborated on, makes me feel so sad."

"I don't want her to sink to the bottom of the sea, but I'm helpless."

"You don't understand why people with depression become depressed. You tell them to just be happy, which is like telling an asthma patient that there is air around them and they should breathe more."

"That's it, that's it."

On various platforms, the comment sections of this song are filled with different atmospheres.

This is a bit different from Lu Ran's previous song style.

They used to be positive and optimistic.

Even so, the song's quality remains high.

After "Under the Sea" became popular, Lu Ran immediately sent Zhang Yingqiu the Phoenix Legend version of "Under the Sea".

After receiving the document, Zhang Yingqiu was completely unsettled.

"Lu Ran wrote a song about the sea, and you naturally wrote one about the sea as well, and even adapted it directly. Are you going to go head-to-head with Lu Ran?"

The events surrounding "General's Order" and "Full Power" are still fresh in our minds.

If this song "Underwater" is sung, the audience will inevitably compare the two songs, which is unavoidable.

The mere fact that the story was adapted from "Under the Sea" was enough to cause a huge uproar.

Zhang Yingqiu shook her head helplessly: "Sigh, what a mess this is."

But she had to admit that this adaptation of "Underwater" was truly different.

The same melody, but a change in lyrics, gives the song a completely different feel.

One is death, the other is salvation.

"Something feels off."

Zhang Yingqiu sensed something strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

All of this seems too coincidental, as if someone is orchestrating it behind the scenes.

"Forget it, let's focus on preparing for the competition."

Time flies, and soon it was time to record the tenth episode of "The Masked Singer".

Lu Ran arrived early this time and sat backstage with a group of singers, waiting.

Before long, Jin Hong arrived with the replacement singer.

The moment this replacement singer entered the stage, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The replacement singer was a woman, wearing a low-cut V-neck dress with a high slit in the skirt, revealing glimpses of her white legs as she walked.

Her figure alone is enough to attract attention.

The only problem is that the legs are a bit short.

The female singer is clearly not very tall.

Teng Zhihui asked curiously, "You're dressed so beautifully! Who is this?"

Han Ye frowned: "It should be someone we know."

Yun Zhongque didn't speak; she dressed rather conservatively.

This female singer's outfit is clearly designed and very eye-catching.

Lu Ran didn't waste any words; he didn't need to guess and directly presented the other party with a character test card.

Soon, a system notification appeared before his eyes.

"Cheng Yarui, character score 71".

The person's name and character score have been revealed.

Lu Ran wasn't surprised by this person's identity. With such a popular show, Xingyao Media would definitely want to bring their own singers on. The main issue was this person's character; it was just too low.

This was the first person he had ever met whose character had almost plummeted to below seventy.

Frankly speaking, you can't get too close to this kind of person; they might betray you one day.

Cheng Yarui was wearing a mask, so her expression couldn't be seen, but as soon as she entered, her gaze immediately locked onto Shunqi Ziran.

That's why she came here today.

"Hello everyone, I'm the replacement singer, Suiyu'er'an," Cheng Yarui introduced herself.

Upon hearing the name, everyone looked at Lu Ran.

This singer's name sounds like your name, or even a couple's name.
