After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 151: New song production completed, novel copyright is about to be sold

Chapter 151: New song production completed, novel copyright is about to be sold

"Xu Lin, let's order some coffee, do you want some?"

As the phone vibrated, Xu Lin realized it was Xia Xiyao's phone.

"What kind of coffee?"

“Luckin.”

"Then have a drink."

Later, Xia Xiyao asked him what kind of coffee he wanted and took a screenshot of Luckin's order page.

Xu Lin chose a cup of raw coconut latte.

"Then I'll place an order for you."

Xia Xiyao sent another screenshot.

Xu Lin: "OK, thank you."

On the other side, Xia Xiyao asked Rong Xiyan: "Order Luckin Coffee, do you want to drink?"

"drink!"

Soon, the two girls also ordered coffee.

After a while, Xia Xiyao saw that Xu Lin's coffee had started to be delivered, so she took a screenshot and sent it to Xu Lin.

"Xu Lin, your coffee is being delivered, remember to take it later!"

However, when sending the message, Xia Xiyao deleted the word "oh".

She waited for a while, but there was no reply from Xu Lin.

Speaking of which, Xia Xiyao's previous comment on Xu Lin was "scumbag," but this time, Xia Xiyao clicked into the backstage and decided to change Xu Lin's comment.

What to note?
Xu Lin?

Finally, Xia Xiyao blushed slightly, and looked at Rong Xiyan, who was lying on the carpet, shaking her beautiful legs and playing with her mobile phone.

Xia Xiyao quietly changed Xu Lin's note to "Brother."

Xu Lin didn't know about this.

He was writing lyrics for two new songs in the duplex.

Later, Xia Xiyao reminded him that the coffee had arrived.

In fact, the doorbell rang at this time.

Xu Lin took the coffee and threw his phone on the first floor.

Fortunately, when Xia Xiyao asked him if he wanted coffee, Xu Lin had just returned to the duplex. Otherwise, if he was two minutes later, Xu Lin's phone would not be with him. He didn't like being disturbed at this time, so he put his phone on the first floor.

It was quite troublesome to write lyrics for these two new songs.

Just like last time, Xu Lin wrote twenty different lyrics for one song and then compared them to make the selection.

So Xu Lin wrote lyrics for forty different songs at once, which took him three and a half hours in total.

Afterwards, he spent another three hours pondering over each poem one by one.

It's already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Only then did Xu Lin select the lyrics for the two new songs, and then came the final step of polishing, which took another half an hour.

At this time, it was exactly half past four.

Xu Lin now has the blessing of a talent for learning and can be deeply immersed in work or study. Therefore, he didn't feel anything after sitting on the chair for seven hours. At most, he would get up in the middle to stretch his body a little and then continue working.

Finally, just after six o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Lin completed two songs, which were eventually turned into two short videos and posted directly on Douyin.

As for NetEase Cloud Music, I will come back tomorrow night to finish it. I need to rest tonight.

"It's done."

Xu Lin looked at the time and returned to the big house.

Xia Xiyao had already left, and Rong Xiyan was sleeping in the room.

Xu Lin woke her up.

"Xu Lin, you're back?"

Rong Xiyan rubbed her eyes.

"Get up and get ready for school."

"Why don't we take a leave? I'm so tired."

Rong Xiyan put her arms around Xu Lin’s neck.

"Don't mention it, I really don't want to go."

"Then we won't go!" Rong Xiyan said.

"You're dreaming. It's so troublesome to ask for leave. When I come back later, I have to take the leave application to the counselor's office to cancel it."

Taking leave from university is quite troublesome.

Besides, if I don’t go tonight, I have to go tomorrow morning.

Besides, Xu Lin hadn’t seen Ning Yuhan for two days, and he wanted to go back and see his senior.

"Ok."

Only then did Rong Xiyan reluctantly crawl out of the warm bed.

"Xu Lin, kiss."

"Don't kiss me, or I'll get angry again."

"Then I'll get angry. I might as well not go."

Rong Xiyan was eager to try.

"You wish, get up quickly."

"Humph!"

The evening class will be the same as usual.

After the class meeting, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan spent half an hour together before returning to the dormitory.

Xu Lin came out of the shower and Zhao Liangchen just happened to come over.

"Brother, I found a blogger on TikTok who sounds a lot like you. I almost thought it was you!"

"what?"

Xu Lin asked casually.

Zhao Liangchen opened Douyin and then clicked on the homepage of "Mr. Xu".

"Brother, I think this faceless blogger's voice is quite similar to yours... No, it's exactly the same. I almost thought it was you!"

Zhao Liangchen said, "Damn, I'm so envious. Just now at eight o'clock, his fans exceeded eight million. You know, just over half a month ago, he only had a few hundred thousand fans!"

Xu Lin took a look and found that his number of fans had indeed exceeded eight million.

Now it is: 802.3 million!
It seems that millions of fans are just around the corner!
Xu Lin directly denied it: "Obviously this is not me."

Now, the only people who know that this account belongs to Xu Lin are Ning Yuhan, Xia Xiyao, and Chi Linyue.

Yu Xinyan didn’t know because she didn’t pay much attention and just read Xu Lin’s novel.

Not to mention Rong Xiyan, she doesn't even pay attention to novels.

"So envious!"

Zhao Liangchen said excitedly: "This brother sings so beautifully, and his lyrics and music are also top-notch. If I had such talent, I would be willing to go to college!"

After a pause, Zhao Liangchen said with regret, "I've thought about it, and the reason I can't become an outstanding rapper is because I went to a key university. I also carefully studied the academic qualifications of all rappers at home and abroad and found that quite a few of them didn't even go to college. A junior college degree is already a very high level of education, but I went to a key university."

“How many celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry have ever received a proper education?”

Xu Lin said calmly, "I've seen so many celebrities, even the new generation, who are serious academic achievers. They all scored around 300-400 on the college entrance exam, or over 400 at best. In my area, it's hard to even get into a private university with that kind of score."

Recently, a domestic TV drama had a funny story about a prince marrying a foreign prince. Many people criticized the screenwriter for not having been to school.

However, it is possible that he has never been to school, and he may be a serious poor student.

After all, the country has such a large population, but the undergraduate rate is only over 4%.

Zhao Liangchen nodded in agreement. "Indeed, in my area, based on a score of 750, getting into a good junior college with a score of over 400 is a stretch."

Zhao Liangchen and Rong Xiyan were classmates in high school and came from the same place, both from Suzhou.

Rong Xiyan's area has been a developed region in terms of ideology, culture, economy, etc. since ancient times. As for the college entrance examination, the famous Hengshui students would be beaten into depression if they were thrown there, because a group of fake academic masters produced by the tactic of solving a large number of questions are destined to be defeated by the real academic masters there.

Xu Lin added, "I think studying is the only way to have a future. Working in the internet industry has no future."

Every now and then, someone pops up who becomes incredibly popular, even inexplicably. Many people ask, "How could such a person become so popular?" They think, "I could do the same thing." However, many people fail to realize the problem of survivor bias, as countless others are buried after their success.

There is a truth in the saying that one general's success comes at the cost of thousands of lives.

"Brother, I still think this blogger is too much like you!"

"I have eight million followers and I'm still in school? I can make at least six figures a month just by taking any commercial."

"It seems so."

Zhao Liangchen suddenly realized, "This blogger hasn't signed a contract with any company yet. With this number of followers and this level of fan loyalty, the contract must be worth tens of millions a year? Damn, if it were me, I wouldn't even read books!"

I'm rough!

He's so good at pretending!
In the dormitory, Liu Longsheng also knew Xu Lin’s Douyin account.

Liu Longsheng really wanted to expose Xu Lin.

Damn, this is too pretentious!
But Liu Longsheng was really jealous of Xu Lin.

The news that Douyin signed a contract worth tens of millions is too vague and has not been confirmed, so it is meaningless.

However, the website where Xu Lin wrote his novels actually issued an announcement, congratulating Mr. Xu on breaking the eight million mark in monthly royalties!

Accurate data: 8.53 million!
You don't need to look at the fractions.

The remaining 300 yuan is for a high-end e.

At the beginning, Liu Longsheng thought it was exaggerated when he heard his high school roommates say that Xu Linhui earned three million yuan a month. That was six e300s!

结果实际稿费,是17台e300、14台小米su7ultra、8台卡宴、6台帕拉梅拉、3台迈巴赫……

This is just Xu Lin’s monthly income!

When Liu Longsheng learned that Xu Lin earned more than 8 million yuan a month, he was completely devastated.

Damn, you can’t make that much money even if you sell laundry detergent in the Golden Triangle, right?
As the saying goes, I am afraid of my brothers suffering, and I am also afraid of my brothers driving a Land Rover.

People won’t think much of anything when strangers become successful, at most they may feel envious. Just like Jack Ma is so rich, you won’t feel anything except occasional envy. But if it’s someone around you who is like this, you will feel very uncomfortable. Everyone started out similarly, but you took off.

Xu Lin didn’t know what Liu Longsheng was thinking, and he didn’t even know that Liu Longsheng knew about his book writing and the things he did with Douyin and NetEase Cloud Music.

"Brother, I also read the novel written by this blogger. It's very popular and he earns 8 million a month. The main character is also called Xu Lin. I almost thought it was you! Damn, 8 million a month!"

Zhao Liangchen was very shocked. He actually hoped that this Mr. Xu was Xu Lin. If he said that, he would feel proud and honored.

"It's a coincidence. For example, if your name is Zhao Liangchen, there are at least hundreds of people with the same name in the country. If there are people with the same name as someone named Liangchen, there would be a lot more. Thousands or tens of thousands would probably be considered a small number."

"That's true, but it's such a coincidence!"

Zhao Liangchen felt quite regretful.

After chatting with Zhao Liangchen for a while, Xu Lin went about his own business.

Zhao Liangchen recommended Xu Lin’s Douyin video in Xu Lin’s dormitory, then in the class group, and then to the grade group and high school group.

Xu Lin ignored this matter and refused to admit it anyway.

Xu Lin felt that his current peaceful life was good, and he was not willing to break this peace for the time being.

At this moment, Xu Lin opened the Douyin homepage. Two new singing videos were released at 6:00 p.m. and now it was 9:30 p.m. In three and a half hours, one video had over 1.2 million likes and over 50,000 comments, while the other had over 1.1 million likes and over 40,000 comments. The data was still amazing. After all, it had only been more than three hours, and both videos were already on the Douyin hot search.

Tik Tok trending search number 13: Mr. Xu’s new song.

Xu Lin’s fans are very active and loyal.

So Xu Lin took a look at the private messages and casually scrolled through them, and saw information from dozens of Internet media companies, all of which wanted Xu Lin to contact them to discuss cooperation.

This kind of Internet media company keeps an eye on all kinds of wild Internet celebrities every day. Not to mention wild Internet celebrities like Xu Lin who have millions of fans, even Internet celebrities with hundreds of thousands of fans have contact with the company. After all, if they sign one and he becomes popular later, for example, if they sign ten and one of them becomes popular later, they can make money.

But Xu Lin ignored them.

"Let's open a Xiaohongshu account and have some fun with it first."

Xiaohongshu is a social platform that is difficult to review. For reviews, you can refer to Weibo for details, but it is true that it has a large amount of traffic.

In addition, Xu Lin opened a Xiaohongshu account for a purpose, which was to promote his works and possibly to carry out some collaborations in the future. He wanted to impact the entertainment and music circles, so operating a social platform was necessary.

So, Xu Lin started to register a Xiaohongshu account.

Nickname: Mr. Xu.

Signature: Online writer, currently in transition, good at composing music and lyrics, feel free to contact me for commercial cooperation (lyrics and music), I am not signed to any company, please do not disturb me if you are an internet company or media.

Xu Lin has already noted the signature to prevent some evil spirits from harassing him, although it may not be useful.

At ten o'clock, Xu Lin set up his Xiaohongshu account, and then opened a notification for a single chapter in the novel.

In fact, he originally wanted to notify on Douyin, but now he has eight million followers and is a large company. If he really notified, he might be warned or even have his account blocked, because it was obviously a trend-setting behavior, so he notified on the novel. As for the subsequent fan promotion, it has nothing to do with Xu Lin.

Ten minutes after Xu Lin published the single chapter, the number of followers of his Xiaohongshu account exceeded 20,000.

Xu Lin watched for a while and thought that fans would do the promotion themselves later.

Hey.

at this time.

Xia Xiyao's message popped up.

"Xu Lin, I'm following you on Xiaohongshu!"

“Thank you for your attention.”

"I saw your signature. You said you wanted to change your ways. Are you not going to write novels anymore?"

"After I finish writing this one, I might not write any more."

"Will you switch to songwriting in the future?"

"Yes, write lyrics and compose music for others, sell them to others, and I will get the copyright income."

"Ah, why not do it yourself? You write and sing it yourself, like Xu Song."

Xu Song has written many of his own songs, including lyrics, music and singing.

Xu Lin: "Doesn't Jay Chou also write songs for other people?"

Xia Xiyao: "But Jay Chou also sings it himself, are you going to make your debut?"

Xu Lin: "No, I'll stay behind the scenes."

Later, Xia Xiyao sent several messages, but Xu Lin did not reply, so Xia Xiyao thought she had said something wrong. She was indeed a little worried.

More than an hour later, Xu Lin became a trending topic on Weibo, ranking around 30 or so.

Hot search: Mr. Xu’s transformation.

If you click on it, you will see that Mr. Xu is going to transform from an online writer to a lyricist and composer, and many people are paying attention to and discussing it.

Xia Xiyao took a screenshot and sent it to Xu Lin, "You're on the trending search!"

"Also, your followers on Xiaohongshu have exceeded one million."

"Okay, I see."

"Uh-huh."

"Are you ready to go to bed?" Xu Lin asked casually.

"About to sleep."

"Good night then, and sweet dreams."

"Oh, sweet dreams."

Xia Xiyao replied, thinking, if he had said he wasn't asleep yet, would they have chatted a little longer?
"What am I thinking?"

Xia Xiyao put down her phone. She had been feeling a little upset lately, always feeling like she was having thoughts that she shouldn't have.

Xu Lin is a scumbag, and he is the man of her best friend and best friend.

So what is she thinking?
Xia Xiyao was extremely upset. It took her a long time to fall asleep tonight, especially since she was listening to Xu Lin's songs until after three in the morning. She went to class in a daze the next morning.

After finishing his classes on Monday, Xu Lin responded to the forum and produced two songs, and posted them on NetEase Cloud Music.

Then Xu Lin notified Xiaohongshu.

When he released the song on NetEase Cloud Music, it was exactly 10 o'clock in the evening, which was exactly 24 hours after the opening of his Xiaohongshu account. For example, Xu Lin's Xiaohongshu fans have reached 4 million, and it is estimated that all his Douyin fans have come, but it is not known whether it is all of them, or whether there are new fans.

After all, it is impossible that all of Douyin’s eight million followers are real people. There are too many zombie fans.

Xu Lin will post notifications on Xiaohongshu when releasing new songs in the future. This is much more convenient than Douyin. If Douyin sends a notification, the entire video has to be played, but Xiaohongshu can do it with just a screenshot or a sentence.

After releasing the new song, Xu Lin waited quietly.

Tonight, Xu Lin had no girls around him, so he was just thinking about his own things.

Xu Lin didn't go to bed until four in the morning because he had to finish typing the words for the next week.

At four o'clock in the morning, Xu Lin completed the work of 75,000 words.

Before going to bed, Xu Lin opened NetEase Cloud Music and found that both of his songs were already on the new song chart, ranking first and second.

"Keep going! Push your pace!"

The next afternoon, Xu Lin became a hot topic on Weibo again.

Moreover, this time it is the number one hot search.

This was the first time that Xu Lin topped the hot search list, and he also occupied the top three spots.

Hot search number one: Mr. Xu’s new song!

The second most searched: "Snow Beyond the Clouds" and "Spring in the Snow".

Snow Beyond the Clouds and Spring in the Snow are the titles of Xu Lin’s two songs.

In fact, the song titles have nothing to do with the content of Xu Lin’s two songs, but Xu Lin couldn’t think of a name for a while, so he simply looked for it in ancient poems. Besides, people who often listen to songs know that the titles of some songs have nothing to do with the content at all.

The titles of Xu Lin's two songs come from a line in "Xingxiangzi" by Liu Chenweng of the Song Dynasty: Like clouds in a dream, snow outside the clouds, and spring in the snow.

Hence, the titles of these two songs came into being.

Hot search number three: When Mr. Xu dominated the NetEase Cloud Music charts.

At this moment, the top three hot searches were all occupied by Xu Lin. The top spot on the hot search list, which all the major celebrities in the entertainment industry had tried every means to reach and was even out of reach, was easily conquered by Xu Lin!
Xia Xiyao also immediately sent a message to Xu Lin: "You are the number one trending search!"

Xu Lin replied to her: "I saw it."

Xia Xiyao: "Amazing!"

Xu Lin: "Calm down."

Xia Xiyao: "I feel you are so calm!"

Xu Lin didn't reply. A few minutes later.

Xia Xiyao couldn't help but ask again: "What are you doing?"

Xu Lin took a picture of the cover of "Old Book of Tang" and gave it to her, then put his phone aside.

On Tuesday afternoon, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan came to the city library again. This time, he was reading "Old Book of Tang".

Xia Xiyao said that Xu Lin was calm and steady and forced him to answer. Xu Lin could only say that he had read so many history books like this that it was hard not to be calm.

History books record the rise and fall of countless great figures.

Of course, who among those whose names are recorded in history books is not a great figure? How many are unknown?

When Xu Lin was in his first year of high school, he was in a history class. The history teacher mentioned a notorious historical figure, and many students in the class were laughing.

The history teacher then raised a question: Don’t laugh, no matter how bad you are, if you kill people and set fires, can you be infamous for eternity?

At that time, all the students didn't understand this concept.

Young boys and girls don’t understand that it is just as difficult to be infamous for eternity as it is to be remembered for eternity.

To this day, when Xu Lin reads history books and sees the great figures in the books, regardless of whether they are good or bad, he thinks about which one of them is a simple person?
Xu Lin thought about a problem. Yuan Shikai was called a half-step saint in history, which means that Yuan Shikai almost became a saint, but he had the idea of ​​becoming emperor in the wrong era. If he had not made the mistake and did not become emperor, he would not have been infamous for thousands of years, but would have been recorded in history and praised by countless people in later generations, and even have monuments built and written about him.

Lu Xiufu jumped off the mountain with the little emperor on his back, bringing the Song Dynasty to a successful end.

Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, erasing all the mistakes he made in his life. It also confirmed the heroism of the king dying for his country, and even made later generations evaluate him more seriously.

The Qing Dynasty will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame and is destined to be infamous for eternity.

Xu Lin watched the ups and downs of countless people in history. Some of these people had made great achievements and were famous during their lifetime, but in books, there were only a few words about them, and after the final judgment, that was all they were.

Reading history makes people wise.

The Old Book of Tang has 3.09 million characters. Even if it were all in ancient Chinese, it would be like several books put together and would be very thick.

If you read the annotated version, the amount will be more than two or three times as much.

But Xu Lin finished reading them all in one afternoon, but he didn't memorize them all. He planned to read them again when he came next time.

Just skimming through it today.

Xu Lin felt that he had learned something new today. In fact, reading one or two books is of no use. Only by reading many books can a subtle effect be gradually produced, but this effect cannot be quantified or materialized.

"Honey, have you finished reading it?"

Ning Yuhan, who was standing next to him, saw Xu Lin close the last volume of "Old Book of Tang".

"No, I just took a quick look."

Xu Lin asked her: "Where do you want to go tonight?"

"No, it's too cold outside. Let's go buy some groceries and I'll cook you a meal."

"Ok, I also want to try senior sister's cooking skills."

At five o'clock, the two left the city library and headed all the way to the nearest vegetable market in the community where Xu Lin's rental house was located.

Eggs, tomatoes, beef, lean pork, baby cabbage, green peppers, chili peppers, and garlic.

That's all.

Ning Yuhan said she wanted to make three dishes: tomato and egg, beef with green peppers, and stir-fried lean meat with baby cabbage. The last two meat dishes were both added with chili peppers, and the stir-fried pork with baby cabbage was seasoned with a little bit of garlic.

They are all very common home-cooked dishes.

After Ning Yuhan returned home, she tied her hair into a high ponytail, put on an apron, and started working in the kitchen.

Xu Lin's kitchen is open and connected to the living room.

Ning Yuhan didn't ask Xu Lin to help, and she said, "A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen," which meant she didn't want Xu Lin to help. She was busy there by herself, saying that she wanted to cook a delicious meal for Xu Lin.

Xu Lin is waiting here in the living room.

Speaking of which, among the girls he knows, Chi Linyue and Shang Wanjun are not mentioned.

There are four of them: Ning Yuhan, Yu Xinyan, Rong Xiyan and Xia Xiyao.

Only Ning Yuhan and Xia Xiyao can cook. Yu Xinyan actually knows a little bit, not much. Xu Lin has known her for six years and knows that she can only make tomato eggs and egg fried rice, so he can't say that she can cook.

Xia Xiyao showed off her cooking skills on Saturday, and Xu Lin thought her cooking skills were pretty good.

I just don’t know how good Ning Yuhan is. She has made steak before.

Soon, three home-cooked dishes were freshly baked, and the house was filled with fragrance, but the range hood was also working frantically.

It's cold now, the heater is on in the house and the windows are closed, so of course I have to turn on the range hood when cooking.

Xu Lin finally experienced Ning Yuhan's craftsmanship.

"Senior, your cooking skills have caught up with my mother's."

Ms. Ren’s cooking is delicious.

“So what I made tastes good, right?”

"Otherwise, my mom is a very good cook!"

"Then eat more!"

Ning Yuhan was smiling and very happy.

After Xu Lin had eaten and drunk his fill, Ning Yuhan went to wash the dishes. Because Xu Lin had eaten everything, with only a little soup left, it was easy to wash the dishes and there was no need to clean up.

Later, the two went to take a shower together.

Xu Lin was so mean. He tormented Ning Yuhan in the bathroom for more than half an hour, and also made Ning Yuhan's hair dirty, so Ning Yuhan had to wash her hair. It was more than an hour later when he came out of the bathroom.

Ning Yuhan was furious. Xu Lin smiled and asked, "Are you angry?"

"You're so bad!"

"Let me help you blow dry your hair."

Xu Lin picked up the hair dryer and asked the senior sister to sit on the stool. Xu Lin was responsible for drying her hair.

"Don't be so bad next time. You got it on my hair again. It's so dirty."

Ning Yuhan's face was flushed. Xu Lin said it was some high-quality skin care product, and it got on her face. Then there was a lot of it on her hair, so she had to wash her hair. You know, she had just washed her hair last night. Naturally, girls can't wash their hair every day like boys do.

"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time."

"Don't get it on your face either!"

Ning Yuhan felt wronged: "You are so mean, you always bully me!"

Xu Lin just smiled and said nothing.

Ning Yuhan's hair was too much and too long, so it took her half an hour to blow-dry it. It was really not easy.

But Ning Yuhan’s hair is really good.

The three girls that Xu Lin has the closest contact with at present are Ning Yuhan, Rong Xiyan and Yu Xinyan. They all have very good hair, but in terms of hair quality, Ning Yuhan seems to have the best hair. The touch of Ning Yuhan's hair is completely different, and it feels so comfortable that Xu Lin can't describe the feeling for a while.

"Senior, your hair is so beautiful!"

"You're so bad!"

"Still struggling with this?"

Xu Lin smiled, picked her up by the waist, and went straight upstairs.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"

Ning Yuhan was a little panicked, afraid that Xu Lin would want to come again. Xu Lin was strong and would really do it.

"What do you say?"

"Don't……"

Ning Yuhan was very panicked, but Xu Lin came to the room, not to the bed, but to sit on a chair. He asked Ning Yuhan to sit on his lap, facing the screen.

"Just trying to scare you, what are you thinking?"

Xu Lin's gentle voice came to Ning Yuhan's ears.

I saw Xu Lin turn on the computer and open NetEase Cloud Music.

What caught my eye were various charts, such as the new song chart, hot song chart, rising song chart, original song chart, national popular song chart, etc. The first and second places were both Xu Lin’s two latest songs.

Ning Yuhan also knew that Xu Lin had released two more songs.

"Isn't it great?"

"It's awesome!"

Ning Yuhan nodded.

"Your boyfriend is so awesome, how do you feel, senior?"

“Very proud!”

"What else? Let me learn more."

"I just feel like you're too good, I don't know how to catch up with you..."

Ning Yuhan said this, feeling a little unhappy for a moment.

Just like a saying widely circulated among boys: How dare I, a clean-handed man, miss the beauty?
Ning Yuhan was the same at this moment.

As Xu Lin became more and more powerful, Ning Yuhan felt a little uneasy. He always felt that he was not worthy of Xu Lin and that Xu Lin would leave him in the future.

Nineteen-year-old Ning Yuhan is still very innocent. She likes Xu Lin very much, and after two months of getting along with him, this liking has gradually become ingrained in her bones. She regards Xu Lin as a part of her life, or a part of her life plan.

Boys all know that if a girl enters his life plan, then this girl is very important to him.

This is what Xu Lin means to Ning Yuhan.

"Why do you think so much about these things?"

Xu Lin smiled and said, "You have a bright future ahead of you. Don't overthink it just because I'm hanging around in the internet industry. I'm just singing and making some money to support our family."

"Husband, will you go singing in the future?"

"Where are we going to sing?"

"Just like that kind of star."

Ning Yuhan felt that those kinds of celebrities who appeared in public were too far away from her. If Xu Lin became like that in the future, she didn't know what to do.

"No, I'm not making a debut. Look how handsome I am. If I did, the entertainment industry would go crazy."

Ning Yuhan chuckled, amused by Xu Lin's humor.

"So don't think too much about it. Besides, look at how limited the freedom of celebrities is."

Xu Lin opened the trending searches, the entertainment charts. "They're all full of trivial things about celebrities. Today this celebrity has a scandal, tomorrow that celebrity is getting divorced, and the day after tomorrow someone unfollows someone else. What a mess! That's why I don't want to be in the entertainment industry. I just want to write songs, sell copyrights, and make some money."

Ning Yuhan pointed to the top entertainment trending search and said, "Honey, Dilraba Dilmurat is following you."

"Don't worry about it. Dilraba is not as pretty as you."

When Xu Lin took a look, he really found that Dilraba Dilmurat was following him.

"No, I think the beauties from Western Xinjiang are so pretty."

"How can you call it beautiful if your breasts aren't big and your butt isn't perky?"

As Xu Lin spoke, he reached into Ning Yuhan's clothes and grabbed them. Ning Yuhan, who had just taken a shower, was only wearing two pieces of clothing, pajamas, and no underwear. It was not that she didn't want to wear any, but Xu Lin wouldn't let her.

"Husband!" Ning Yuhan blushed.

"You know, celebrities are just like that to me. I just like big ones!"

"Humph!"

Xu Lin opened Xiaohongshu at this time.

Half a day has passed, and Xu Lin’s fans on Xiaohongshu have exceeded five million. I don’t know if it was promoted by the official.

In addition, here are the hot searches on Xiaohongshu.

Hot search number one: Mr. Xu joins Xiaohongshu.

The second most searched: Dilraba Dilmurat follows Mr. Xu on Xiaohongshu.

Xu Lin suddenly realized that with the help of the hot search, his followers increased rapidly, and his account could be seen by clicking on it.

"Dilraba is also on the trending search list here!"

Ning Yuhan pointed.

"Ignore it!"

Xu Lin said this and opened the private message in the background.

He received too many private messages on Xiaohongshu, and the message announcing the release of the new song received more than 200,000 messages from fans.

Xu Lin flipped through it for a while and found that it was all meaningless content.

Then Xu Lin opened the message page. At this time, there were many private messages, so densely packed that he didn't know how many there were. They said all kinds of things, and most of the content was meaningless.

Xu Lin thought, just by looking through these private messages, how can I find a suitable partner?

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After thinking for a while, Xu Lin posted his second post: Collaboration Post! I'm in the process of transitioning, and I believe everyone has seen my strength. If there are any musicians who want to write songs for me, please contact me. Serious buyers only!

At the end of the post, there is Xu Lin’s small account, which is used for cooperation and communication. It is the small account where Wu Chengfeng and others are located. This is Xu Lin’s special work account.

Done, published.

"You are going to transform, will you still write books in the future?"

"Big Brother, are you going to debut?"

"Mr. Xu, please make your debut soon! Your singing is so beautiful, and it's already dominating all the charts on NetEase Cloud Music!"

"Strong support! Mr. Xu should debut right here!"

"I'm curious about Mr. Xu's looks. Can he make it to debut?"

"Even Wu Bai made a successful debut, but is Eason Chan handsome? Does it affect his status as a singing god? If I were to ask myself, just based on Mr. Xu's singing skills and his level of songwriting, Xu Song would have to lag behind!"

As soon as the post was published, countless comments followed.

Xu Lin picked out a few messages from fans and replied to them.

Question: After Mr. Xu’s transformation, will he continue to write books?
Answer: It depends on the situation. I may not write it.

Question: I heard that you are still a college student, is that true?
Answer: Freshman, currently studying at a 211 university.

China University of Finance and Economics is actually a 211 among the 985 universities. It is one of the strongest universities and many 985 universities cannot match its strength.

Q: Are you curious about what Mr. Xu looks like in real life?
Answer: Height 187cm, appearance and figure meet all your imaginations.

Q: Will Mr. Xu make his debut?
Answer: No debut, but behind the scenes.

It was Xu Lin's simple answers that unexpectedly became a hot topic again not long after.

Hot search 1: Mr. Xu may not write books anymore.

Hot search 211: Mr. Xu is a freshman at a university.

Hot search three: Mr. Xu 187.

Xu Lin now really has some fan appeal, and several of his hot searches are in the top ten. Those first-line celebrities in the entertainment industry have to create various topics if they want to be on the hot searches.

However, this is all a matter later.

"Why don't you keep busy while I read a book."

Ning Yuhan saw that Xu Lin was very busy and didn't want to stay on his lap and affect him.

"Ok."

With Xu Lin's nod, Ning Yuhan kissed Xu Lin, got off his lap, and then went back to the first floor to read.

Xu Lin opened QQ to check the issue.

Later he would have to open his secondary account to answer questions from Wu Chengfeng and others. Xu Lin now only goes online once every two or three days to deal with problems, and he is not someone who chats online often.

When it comes to this, the issues are usually trivial and insignificant.

But this time, Xu Lin received a big surprise, saying that the copyright owner of Xu Lin's book had already taken a fancy to it, and the website was ready to negotiate.

Xu Lin: “How much?”

Ranzhi: "The copyright is astronomical! The information from above tells me that the starting price is 70 million!"

Ranzhi: "And your book has great value for film and television adaptation. It mentions TV series and movies, so the copyright value will be very high!"

Ranzhi also mentioned that the copyrights for male-oriented online literature generally consist of comics and publishing, which are insignificant and don't cost much. For example, how many readers will buy your physical books? As for audiobook copyrights, let alone audiobook copyrights, they're pure garbage. Male-oriented film and television copyrights, most of which are anime adaptations, are also not very expensive, and the author has to share the profits with the website. For example, if the copyright is worth 5 million, the author might only get a little over 1 million, so it's not much.

The copyright with the greatest value is the film and television adaptation rights, and TV series and movies are the most valuable.

Among the male-oriented series, for example, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" are very famous and have the most valuable copyrights. They are used in TV series and movies, and the derivative value is estimated to be in the billions.

Xu Lin: "After selling the copyright, when did I start working with the website?"

It's not possible that if the sales volume is 70 million, I can get 70 million before tax, right?
Ranzhi: "Fifty-fifty!"

Ranzhi: "Assuming it sells for 20 million, Mr. Xu can get million before tax. The copyright tax rate is % (made up, I didn't ask the specific amount), which is one-fifth. Mr. Xu will get million!"

"Thirty million doesn't feel bad."

Xu Lin was very satisfied with this number.

Ranzhi: "But I said above that the starting amount is 70 million, and the final amount is said to be capped at 90 million!"

"Then you'd better negotiate it for 90 million!"

Half of 90 million is 45 million!

Xu Lin: "After the copyright is sold, will I still have a share of the subsequent copyright operation value? I heard that once the copyright is sold, it is sold, and the subsequent copyright income has nothing to do with the author."

Ranzhi: "What we are currently selling is the film and television adaptation rights. Mr. Xu, as the pillar of our website, will of course benefit from the subsequent copyright operation! 呲牙.jpg"

Xu Lin: "There's another very important point. I'm the original author. Can I have a say in the subsequent adaptation?"

"Fights Break Sphere" has been modified into a mess, like a pile of shit. One of the reasons is that the original author has no say at all. The copyright has been sold and it has nothing to do with him anymore, except that he wrote the book and put his name on it as the author.

Ranzhi: "Is this convenient for Mr. Xu? We can go to the scene to discuss it together!"

Xu Lin: "Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Involved: "baring teeth.jpg"

The headquarters of the website where Xu Lin wrote his book is in Jiangdu, and the copyright negotiations were also in Jiangdu.

Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, is Friday free? This Friday, our website will talk to the copyright holder about copyright matters."

"convenient!"

How can a business worth tens of millions be inconvenient?

But what should I prepare?
Xu Lin suddenly thought of a problem. He was just an 18-year-old college student with clear eyes. The copyright holders and the website owners must be old hands. Although they sounded so good about getting involved, Xu Lin did not forget that he was just an employee. He had no say in such a business worth tens of millions. The copyright holders and the website owners were all capitalists.

What is a capitalist? It must be bloody.

"No, I can't go alone. Isn't this like going alone?"

Xu Lin thought about it, and a light bulb went off in his head as he thought of Chi Linyue.

The big sister Maybach can definitely take charge of the situation.
