System: Master Your Life-Chapter 476 - 110 Praise from the Future Mother-in-Law
About ten minutes later, Yu Jianhua finally saw his daughter return.
Seeing that his daughter was fine, Yu Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows how he felt as a father when he heard Xu Lin panting over the phone earlier.
Not to mention that Xu Lin has a girlfriend; even if he didn’t, a father can’t bear seeing his precious cabbage messed up by that little punk next door.
At least, sneak around if you must.
Hearing panting over the phone, that’s outrageous. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"You punk, what are you doing working out at night?"
"You don’t understand anything!"
Xu Lin: "Let’s not chat now, I need to exercise."
After saying this, Xu Lin hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and continued working out for another hour.
Xu Lin didn’t do much tonight, just played a couple of games before going to sleep.
Time quickly moved on to the next day.
In the morning, Xu Lin asked Aunt Lin to come over to tidy up the house, paying her five hundred yuan.
Two hundred would have sufficed, but money makes the world go round.
So Aunt Lin was particularly diligent, making Xu Lin’s room spotless, which put him in a good mood.
Noon.
Xu Lin returned to his computer to continue working.
During the next four days, Xu Lin’s life was quite fulfilling.
In Jiangdu, he didn’t exercise every day, but at home, Xu Lin did so daily.
Mainly because there was no one to distract him, and Rong Xiyi, that clingy little sprite, wasn’t around, so Xu Lin could calmly focus on this task.
The workouts were always done before going to sleep at night.
During the day, Xu Lin taught disciples and wrote songs.
While in the provincial city, Xu Lin had already written sixteen songs, and after four days at home, he had written eight more.
Making a total of twenty-four songs, including ten love songs, six folk songs, and eight in a traditional style similar to "Blue and White Porcelain" or "Lantern Pavilion Prelude".
For the traditional style, Xu Lin didn’t write love songs but rather focused more on traditional culture.
When writing pop love songs, they are all about love, and Xu Lin even had to feign melancholy; for someone who hadn’t experienced heartbreak, writing sad breakup songs was truly challenging, forcing Xu Lin to embody the mood, sometimes feeling so uncomfortable he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.
It was also on this day that Xu Lin received an unknown call from Jiangdu.
Xu Lin casually answered.
"Who’s this?"
"Mr. Xu?"
"Ah, it’s President Lin, nice to meet you!"
It was Lin Yu, who had previously bought the film rights to Xu Lin’s novel, and he recognized her voice.
"Haha, Mr. Xu, you’re quite the sensation recently; people online are all aware of you now!"
"That’s only online buzz; in reality, I’m just a nobody."
"How could Mr. Xu, so charming and elegant, be a nobody in reality? I’m probably not even a nobody myself."
"President Lin called, so there must be a reason?"
Xu Lin skipped straight to the point.
"Indeed there is!"
Lin Yu said, "We’re preparing to set up the film crew; Mr. Xu, surely you’ve started on the script as the screenwriter?"
"Almost done." Xu Lin bragged, though truthfully, he could write the script quite quickly; being a gifted writer, he could produce quality work even with short notice.
Xu Lin: "When do you need the script?"
Lin Yu: "Actually, there’s no rush; we’re planned to start filming in mid-March this year, and the crew is being assembled!"
Xu Lin asked curiously, "Which stars are playing the lead roles?"
Lin Yu: "The female lead is Dilraba, and the male lead is Zhang Linghe? What do you think, Mr. Xu?"
As just a screenwriter, Xu Lin certainly didn’t have a say in casting choices.
Xu Lin felt that as long as the leads weren’t out of place, it was fine, like if the male lead was someone unfit for the role, it would be better not to film it, especially since even in makeup, he wouldn’t look half as handsome.
At this moment, Xu Lin looked at the leads’ names; he knew Dilraba, but who was Zhang Linghe?
After a quick search, he didn’t recognize him, but he looked quite handsome and young.
Xu Lin: "I think it looks pretty good."
Lin Yu laughed: "In the entertainment industry, there’s actually no one more handsome than Mr. Xu; I thought about having you star instead."
Xu Lin: "Let’s forget it; I’m too handsome to be showing off."
"Haha..."
After chatting for about ten minutes, Xu Lin wrapped up the call.
Lin Yu also wanted to invite him to dinner, but being eyed by an old woman made Xu Lin a bit uneasy.
"Time to start writing the script."
"Wait, better finish the songs first."
Xu Lin opened his work account and clicked into a small group for apprentices.
Including Xie Ting, there were a total of six people in there, these being his most talented disciples so far.
In the short term, Xu Lin depended on them to make money in the music industry.
After entering the group, Xu Lin @ed all members.
"Six love songs, everyone pick one, test the waters."
Everyone quickly responded.
Xie Ting: "Master, are we starting work?"
Xu Lin: "Yes, let’s do one round before the New Year and see what happens."
Yun Hehe: "Master, what are the songs? Curious.jpg"
Xu Lin: "They’re all love songs with no specific style; the singing difficulty isn’t high, so any of you can sing them, just pick one based on the title."
Then Xu Lin shared the song titles.
"The Other Side of the Sea", "Instant", "Wind Passes Without Leaving a Trace", "My Only", "Tears of the White Moonlight", "Less Innocence".
He didn’t share the lyrics, only letting them choose by title, intending later to send the complete songs including lyrics, melody, and sheet music individually to them.
