Chapter 205 - 193 Fish and Its Offsprings
No freaking way…
This System is really ruthless, even more so than me!
Could you, please, be a little kinder?
Before, 01′ Zhou said that the investment for “Flirting Scholar” must not exceed 10 million. Lin Yuan had reported 9 million, leaving quite some leeway for the company.
But the System didn’t leave any breathing space at all!
It was at this moment that Lin Yuan realized how kind he actually was.
But fair is fair, Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with the novel given by the System.
After he conducted quantum reading, the contents of the novel were already clearly emerging in his mind.
At the same time.
Combining with some memories from his past life, Lin Yuan was very clear about the value of this novel.
This novel was really good!
And it was very in line with the System’s penchant for making him pioneer new genres.
The System was like a brick.
Wherever the market lacked, it would make up for it.
The only question was, would “Ghost Blows Out The Light” still be considered a fantasy novel?
You should know that most fantasy novels tend to be rather youthful, which is why adventures in other worlds are so popular.
With this thought in mind.
Lin Yuan looked online for information and, as expected, found that Blue Star didn’t have any novels on the theme of tomb robbing.
So “Ghost Blows Out The Light” as a new type, placed in fantasy novels, shouldn’t pose any major problems.
As long as it’s something young people like, it’s all good.
And in his previous life, “Ghost Blows Out The Light” was a work much loved by many young people.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was confident that the audience for this work was likely not just limited to the younger generation.
It was “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles”, which followed the trend and achieved great success later on, that had a bigger impact among young people. After all, this derivative work had a stronger commercial atmosphere…
“Cut.”
While Lin Yuan was mulling over things, Yi Chenggong’s voice came from afar.
This was the set of “Flirting Scholar”, where Lin Yuan had been hanging out recently.
After all, he was now one of the heads of the composition department.
As a manager, besides having a substantial pay rise, he was even allowed to play hooky without repercussions.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was also the film’s scriptwriter, which gave him even more reason to skip work, without even needing to use the excuse of going out for research and inspiration.
Wu Yong was very straightforward too.
As Lin Yuan’s assistant manager, he basically took care of everything on the ninth floor for Lin Yuan, leaving him with not much to worry about.
At this time.
After shooting for a while, “Flirting Scholar” was nearing its end; it was estimated that the filming would wrap up in about a month.
However, even so, Lin Yuan still didn’t have the time to be frequently at work.
He couldn’t even casually drop by the production crew anymore.
Because…
Qin Art’s school had started!
The low-key second semester of his third year had just started. Lin Yuan showed up at the set just because it was the weekend.
At the moment.
Yi Chenggong had announced that the production crew could knock off for the day. He approached Lin Yuan and smiled, “Mr. Lin, do you have any ideas about the post-production? Our movie is almost done filming, it’s about time to think about the post-production…”
“Leave the score to me.”
Lin Yuan said, “As for other aspects, just keep an eye on them. Everything should follow the script. Don’t let the editing break the rhythm of the story.”
The Memory Pill isn’t used in vain.
After reading countless film and television books, Lin Yuan is now a theoretical expert, so he’s very clear about the significance of editing for a movie.
“Understood.”
Yi Chenggong was already familiar with Lin Yuan’s style. As the director, he unconditionally agreed with all of Lin Yuan’s decisions.
It was still early.
After the production crew had finished for the day, Lin Yuan looked at the sky and simply had Gu Dong drive him to the company. Gu Dong, as Lin Yuan’s assistant, tended to accompany Lin Yuan wherever he went, so she spent most of her recent time on the set.
Arriving at the company.
The two of them headed up to the ninth floor.
The staff in the department greeted Lin Yuan as they saw him, and he returned with a nod, then headed into his own office. Then, he asked Gu Dong to call Wu Yong over. He wasn’t entirely lacking in responsibility; he should keep an eye on the status of his department.
“Mr. Lin.”
Wu Yong arrived promptly.
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised. Wu Yong was wearing a suit. Apart from being a bit dark-skinned, he was emitting an aura suggesting that he was trying to pay tribute to 01′ Zhou. This was completely different from the Wu Yong that Lin Yuan remembered.
Wu Yong had never worn a suit before.
Wu Yong coughed a bit, seemingly guessing Lin Yuan’s thoughts: “As a deputy manager, I should maintain some authority…”
“How is work going?”
Lin Yuan didn’t linger on the topic.
Wu Yong responded seriously: “In April, we on the ninth floor have a song to release. The company has high hopes for it. It’s sung by our company’s leading female singer, Shen Tingyuan. I estimate that this song will enter the top five.”
Lin Yuan asked, “Who wrote the song?”
Wu Yong showed a smile: “The composer is your apprentice, Xue Liang, Mr.
Lin. As your apprentice, Xue Liang has composed a song of a very high standard. Would you like to have a listen?”
“Fine.”
Lin Yuan spoke.
Wu Yong directly sent the song to the device and then turned on the speakers.
This was a pre-recorded song; after all, it was to be officially released in April.
The song followed a sentimental style.
Ballads were a relatively popular style.
The melody of the song was also very good, at least Lin Yuan personally liked it. But before Lin Yuan could say anything after hearing the song, the system suddenly gave a prompt: “Congratulations to the host’s first apprentice on completing his training!”
[Name: Xue Liang]
[Composition: 666]
[Relationship: Master-Apprentice]
[Status: Completed Training]
[Evaluation: Xue Liang has already acquired the abilities of an ace composer. What he lacks is a work to prove himself. We hope the host can treasure each of his apprentices, as their works can also bring prestige to their master.]
It seemed that the system couldn’t predict the future either.
The merger of Qin Art had forced the system to reluctantly reset the task, which showed that the system was incapable of predicting the future. The system only gave the corresponding evaluation after Lin Yuan had listened to Xue Liang’s song.
“Great, right?”
Wu Yong laughed: “But there arc two things I want to discuss with you, Mr. Lin. The first is that Xue Liang does not plan to release songs under his real name. He has decided to take up an artistic name similar to Xian Yu.”
“What is it?”
Wu Yong made a strange expression: “Carp.”
When Wu Yong first learned about Xue Liang’s decision, he was also baffled. Xue Liang must have chosen this name to pay tribute to his master, right?
If Mr. Lin takes on multiple apprentices, wouldn’t there be a bunch of fish-related names in the Qin Art music scene?
Lin Yuan paused for a moment and said: “I see. What’s the second thing?”
Wu Yong said, “The second thing is that the company has registered a Tribe account on behalf of Xian Yu. They suggest that you post some content on the account when you have time. The account details and password will be sent to you later.”
“Oh.”
Lin Yuan has always been using the “Chu Kuang” account.
He didn’t expect that the company would register a “Xian Yu” one as well.
Wu Yong sighed: “The competition between Tribe and Blog is too intense. Both sides arc vying to invite celebrities because the fan effect that celebrities bring about is very influential…”
Lin Yuan nodded.
Wu Yong reminded, “Now that you have a Tribe account, it’s certain to attract some fan attention. I suggest you promote Xue Liang’s work, since he is your apprentice after all.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yuan nodded in understanding. It looked like he would have to frequently switch accounts from now on.
If he uses the Xian Yu account to promote Chu Kuang’s new book, he’ll get caught for double-dealing.
Wait…
It seems he doesn’t need to double deal. As long as he posts with one account and promotes the posts using the other account, it should be fine. But he’s unsure how many followers the Xian Yu account can attract?
