Chapter 52 Lin Yuan really went too far.
Chapter 52 Lin Yuan really went too far.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Yuan."
"I'm so glad that everyone enjoys this novel."
"I prepared for 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' for half a year, or you could say I started preparing for it when I was a child."
"As mentioned in the introduction, I am telling a story of martial arts."
"What is Wuxia? Possessing martial arts skills and having a chivalrous heart is the simplest and most understandable explanation."
"I believe many people, like me, have had a period of youthful arrogance, dreaming of traveling the world with a sword and experiencing its diverse wonders."
"Although I am no longer young, I still cherish that simple and passionate dream in my heart. That's how 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' came about, and that's how 'The Martial Arts World' came about."
"I hope to create a world like this for everyone, where readers can find a brief rest after experiencing all aspects of life and the vicissitudes of the world, find an emotional refuge, transform into a chivalrous hero wandering the world, and receive a warm and pure smile."
Thank you again for your support!
"This book is planned to be around one million words long. The outline has been completed, and more than half of the content has been updated. Please look forward to the rest!"
P.S.: I've run out of drafts, and updates may be a bit irregular due to my main job. I hope you'll understand!
As Liu Xiaobing read the passage word by word, he sensed that a middle-aged man over forty was painting a picture of a world of adventure for his younger, impetuous self, a world he could roam freely in.
Although he was still young and only found the novel enjoyable and exciting to read, he was still moved by the emotions expressed in the author's words and felt a little sentimental:
Perhaps this is the adult world!
He continued reading.
What?
The novel is only one million words?
Liu Xiaobing let out a deep breath. Well, it's clear they have no intention of negotiating; they've just said they've prepared the outline.
Although he had some grumbling thoughts, it also meant that the novel wouldn't be abandoned or have a bad ending. He was actually afraid that it would end up being abandoned without a trace or dragged on for too long, which would be such a huge regret.
However, what he saw next made him rub his eyes. What did he see?
No! I have! A! Draft!
Will updates be unstable due to the impact of my main job?
You still have a job, you bastard?
Isn't the money you've made from novels enough? How much more do you want to earn?
Are human desires really like a boulder rolling down a mountain, once they start, they can never be stopped?
Liu Xiaobing stared blankly for a moment, then looked at the novel's interface with a "ferocious" expression: How am I supposed to live without you this summer?
……
……
Amidst the sea of people, Xu Jinyan arrived at the company with an upright smile, just wandering around aimlessly with nothing to do.
But everyone who sees him asks, "Teacher Xu, what's making you so happy?"
Xu Jinyan didn't need to say much; he knew exactly what he wanted.
Negative emotions have finally arrived in huge waves.
Because I updated a single chapter yesterday, I only updated 4,000 words today.
In just one day, he received 300 million negative emotion points. Although it couldn't match the 700 million positive emotion points, he had already verified the correct way to use the system.
As he was thinking about these things, he ran into his assistant, Xiao Zhou, who had come to see him: "Good afternoon, Zhou Xiaoyu."
"Good afternoon, Brother Xu."
Seeing that Xiao Zhou wasn't in a good mood, Xu Jinyan asked, "Why do you seem a little unhappy? Have you been slacking off at work lately?"
Xiao Zhou was used to his jokes and said helplessly, "I wasn't slacking off, Brother Xu."
Xu Jinyan suddenly realized and said, "You didn't slack off? No wonder you're unhappy!"
Xiao Zhou's lips twitched slightly as he asked, "Brother Xu seems to be in a good mood today?"
Xu Jinyan stepped forward and ruffled Zhou Xiaoyu's hair, laughing, "Because I'm slacking off. What's wrong?"
Zhou Xiaoyu took a step back, stopping Xu Jinyan from "slacking off," and said helplessly:
"The novel I'm following updated today, you know what? It only updated 4,000 words today."
Xu Jinyan asked incredulously, "Isn't four thousand words quite normal?"
"Oh, Brother Xu, you don't understand. Authors usually write 10,000 words a day."
Xu Jinyan nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense. Lin Yuan really went too far!"
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded in agreement: "Exactly, exactly, huh?"
She blinked and looked at Xu Jinyan: "Brother Xu, you...you also watch 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'?"
Xu Jinyan replied matter-of-factly, "If you don't read novels at work, is that considered slacking off?"
Zhou Xiaoyu blushed a little. She seemed to have said earlier that she didn't slack off. Oh no, Xu Ge has corrupted her.
The two chatted about the novel's plot as they arrived at the music production department. Soon after, Lin Wanqing also came over, carrying a thick stack of documents.
"These are the OST projects we received from the production team, as well as song requests from singers; they're all here."
Xu Jinyan picked it up and looked at it, saying, "Sister Wanqing, 'Big Fish' has just been released, and 'The Power of Love' will be released soon, followed by 'Always Quiet.' Oh, and I also sang a new song on a variety show, which will be released then too. Am I being too active? Will it annoy the listeners?"
Lin Wanqing looked into Xu Jinyan's sincere eyes and took a deep breath.
Is that what you call frequent business?
If you want to slack off, just say so. Why are you acting like you're very busy?
Xu Jinyan really wants to put music aside for now; writing songs again would be like fighting with herself.
Just like "Big Fish," which was released on Saturday, August 1st.
Despite extensive pre-release promotion and Xiaotian's tireless efforts in promoting the show, it still couldn't beat "Shanghai Bund" in the latest charts on Tuesday, August 11th, allowing "Shanghai Bund" to retain its title as the weekly champion for four consecutive weeks.
This result left those in charge of publicity helpless; this kind of Canglan derby is truly both painful and joyful.
As for Xiaotian, she originally wanted to treat Xu Jinyan to a meal to thank her properly after winning the championship, but she was assigned to do promotions again, since "Big Fish" clearly has the potential to become a champion single.
Fortunately, hard work pays off.
On August 18th, "Big Fish" won the championship!
……
……
"Hello Tian Xiwei, first of all, congratulations on winning the weekly chart champion for the 33rd week of 2015! What are your thoughts?"
It was the first time so many microphones had been pointed at him, and Xiaotian was a little nervous, but he also realized that he had really become famous and that he could make a living as a singer!
"It is an honor to win this championship. I would like to thank all the listeners for their love and support, as well as Ms. Xu Jinyan for producing the music. I will continue to work hard."
"Tian Xiwei, do you know that this weekly championship is not only your first, but also Xu Jinyan's tenth weekly championship?"
Tian Xiwei's eyes sparkled, and a smile curved her lips: "I know, it's my honor!"
"You both debuted around the same time on 'Heavenly Melody' and both joined Canglan Entertainment. What is your specific relationship, and why did he write a song for you?"
Why did I write a song for her?
Hearing this question, Tian Xiwei was somewhat stunned.
Xu Jinyan gave many reasons for writing songs for her back then, and she would always recall those reasons.
In that conference room, every word he uttered seemed to be a ray of light shining into her dim world.
Whether it was his humor that eliminated the sense of distance or his sincerity that upheld her dignity, both brought her immense courage and encouragement, leaving a deep impression on her heart.
She flashed a bright smile: "Because before the semi-finals, we said, 'If we become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other!' So he wrote a song for me. I was so surprised and delighted."
The reporters looked at each other in surprise. They hadn't expected this answer. Did Xu Jinyan really send out a champion single just because of a casual joke she made back then?
