This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 436 Performances by the Military Band and the National Centre for the Performing Arts
Decisions made at meetings convened by higher-level departments are often not directly issued as official documents.

This phenomenon is even more pronounced in the cultural and entertainment industry.

Take the ban on Korean entertainment, for example. There has never been any document that explicitly prohibits it, but everyone knows that once it's restricted, it's restricted.

If you think there are no restrictions, you can find some Korean celebrities to organize an event and see if it can be approved.

These rumors spread by marketing accounts also come from industry insiders; the goal is to use these people to spread the information.

In other words, this isn't some marketing account trying to glorify Lu Ran; it's something that actually happened.

The rappers are feeling a bit awkward right now.

She had a falling out with Lu Ran before, finding fault with him in this and that, but in the end, she still benefited from his success.

These rappers have been underground for a long time, and they were finally about to reach mainstream success, but they messed things up and almost went back underground.

These rappers all understand that their underground rapping style is really not enough to compete in the entire entertainment industry; once it's gone, it's gone.

But they don't want to lose it.

Especially those who have benefited from the entertainment industry.

Wow, moving from underground to above-ground has made me earn at least several times more money than before.

From now on, I can go out with my head held high and my chest out; that alone is enough.

Soon, some activists among the rappers took the initiative to post on Weibo.

Some posted a text message, while others wrote a freestyle song.

The implication is that they are grateful to Lu Ran and his fan club, and hope that future rap shows can also spread positive energy. They will also work hard to write some positive songs.

Among these rappers, some still have a chance of being saved.

The trainees are completely hopeless.

The entire program was completely canceled, and no trainee talent shows will be allowed to be held in the future.

It's important to know that there are still many trainee training institutions and entertainment companies doing this.

Selecting teenagers as trainees means that if they win, they gain fans; if they lose, they earn breach of contract fees.

The sky has fallen for a group of trainees who haven't even taken the stage yet.

For some trainees who were still hoping to gain popularity through talent shows, their world collapsed.

Among these, the companies that rely on trainees for income are the most affected.

Star Media has a business of training trainees.

After the news broke online, a group of trainees' parents bombarded the company with calls.

They told the parents that once they paid the tuition, they were guaranteed to become trainees, but now the show is gone.

These issues left Guo Weicheng quite overwhelmed.

While these people were suffering, Lu Ran had already been happily resting in Wutong Garden for two days.

In the studio's group chat, Chen Ke had already shared the information she had gathered.

Upon seeing these contents, Lu Ran thought of something.

"These fans won't blame me for this again, will they? This really has nothing to do with me."

Trainee talent shows don't really need him to do anything; these people will cause trouble on their own.

Trainee talent shows on Earth were also completely shut down and disappeared after the incident.

Later, the program was broadcast in a different country, with "Asia" in its name, claiming that it was selecting trainees from all over Asia. As a result, the program was broadcast.

The judges on the show are Chinese, and more than 90% of the contestants are also Chinese.

This show is just a shell; it's still designed for viewers who enjoy watching trainee talent shows.

As a result, the trainees of later generations were not as good as the previous ones. Putting aside their professional skills, their appearance was also indescribable.

Compared to these trainees, Kun Ge has become both an idol and a talented performer.

Just then, Lu Ran's phone rang.

Lu Ran immediately sat up straight when he saw the phone call.

The caller was Gao Yuhui from the Film and Television Department of the Red Star Art and Culture Center.

As soon as the call connected, Gao Yuhui burst into laughter.

"Wow, you've been all over the internet these past few days. You're practically a superstar now."

"What you're saying, Mr. Gao, is irrelevant. Artists shouldn't talk about being a superstar or not; they should just focus on providing good service."

Gao Yuhui smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Ran, and then got down to business.

"I'm calling you mainly to discuss something. The comrades from the military band and choir have asked me to contact you because they want to obtain authorization for the 'Yellow River Cantata' from you."

"This is a small matter. I'll pack a copy of the documents and send it to you right away. I'll have someone from the company arrange for the authorization documents to be prepared."

Gao Yuhui asked, "Approximately how much will it cost?"

"What money? Why would I ask for money for a song like this?" Lu Ran was just waiting for these people to contact him.

If he had asked someone to contact the military band before, relying on the connections he had built up from his previous military songs, they would probably have paid attention to him, but they wouldn't have agreed to perform with him, as the situation didn't allow it.

Things are different now; people are eager to perform.

What kind of authorization is this? It's like Lu Ran got the military band and choir for free.

Once their version is released, he will certainly receive the benefits he deserves.

Just ask anyone in the entertainment industry who writes songs that can get a military band and a military choir to perform together.

Gao Yuhui immediately felt a sense of respect.

This is what it means to hand it over to the state.

Otherwise, how could they have written "The Yellow River Cantata"?

"Okay, I'll pass on your thoughts to them. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Gao Yuhui hung up the phone.

A while later, Lu Ran received another phone call.

This time, the call was from the director of the National Theatre of China.

During the recording of "China in Classical Texts," Lu Ran added the phone number of the director of the National Theatre of China.

The dean, a woman, greeted us in a kind and gentle voice.

"That's right, the National Centre for the Performing Arts asked me to contact you."

Lu Ran asked directly, "You want authorization for the Yellow River Cantata, right?"

"Yes, yes, how did you know?"

"The military band members just came to ask for it too."

"So you gave it to me?"

"Yes, Director. I'll grant the same authorization to the National Centre for the Performing Arts for free. Such pieces should be performed by professional orchestras."

"Can't you just ask for money?"

"Forget about money, let's be friends."

If Lu Ran needs an orchestra in the future, hiring a military band is impossible, but hiring a national orchestra is still an option.

He's determined to be friends with this person.

However, one thing is one thing: if the National Centre for the Performing Arts orchestra is not performing for commercial purposes, he will not take a penny; but if it is performing for commercial purposes, he will still take the money he is entitled to.

The director of the National Theatre of China also held Lu Ran in high esteem.

To be honest, it's Lu Ran's right to ask for money, and it's a favor if he doesn't ask for it; no one can find fault with that.

The economic benefits of "The Yellow River Cantata" are certainly not low. It is a song that can be sung from generation to generation and will leave its mark on the history of Chinese music.

The fact that he can smile so easily at such a young age and regard money as nothing is enough to show Lu Ran's magnanimity.

This is someone who can achieve great things.

If Lu Ran ever needs help in the future, will the National Centre for the Performing Arts not come to his aid?

Even military bands have obtained authorization, and national orchestras have also obtained authorization.

We absolutely have to have a competition to see who can play the Yellow River Cantata better.

After Lu Ran finished talking with the dean, he told Li Quan about it and asked the company to prepare the authorization contract.

The same applies to the song "Tomorrow Will Be Better". Since it is a charity song, we should not charge any money that is not appropriate.

If there's a stage that truly needs to perform this song, Lu Ran will still grant permission for free.

After all the documents were signed, the National Centre for the Performing Arts posted a message on its official WeChat account.

"The National Centre for the Performing Arts has received authorization for the 'Yellow River Cantata.' We thank the composer, Mr. Lu Ran, for the free authorization. The orchestra's teachers will begin rehearsals tomorrow. We look forward to the full version of the 'Yellow River Cantata' being presented to everyone."

The National Centre for the Performing Arts already hosts commercial performances, and some people simply enjoy watching these kinds of shows in the concert hall.

Shortly after the message was posted, it was shared on Weibo by netizens.

"Holy crap? The National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra and the National Centre for the Performing Arts Choir are performing. Director Lu has really made something of himself."

"The biggest problem that night was that there wasn't a complete version of the Yellow River Cantata. Finally, we had the chance to see the complete version!"

"Looking forward to the top-notch facilities at the National Centre for the Performing Arts!"

"Did you see that Director Lu granted the authorization for free?"

"This is the layout of Hall Lu!"

When the Red Star Art and Culture Center saw that the National Centre for the Performing Arts had actually benefited from Lu Ran's popularity and received so many positive reviews, they immediately announced on their own Douyin account that they would be performing "The Yellow River Cantata".

Who's afraid of who? It's just playing the "Yellow River Cantata".

With National Day just around the corner, we must rehearse the full version before then!
