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

Chapter 154: Ms. Ren: My son earns eight million a month? New fields, new journeys, new tasks for the lyrics and music sub-plot
[The previous chapter has been modified, the copyright has been changed to 100 million]

The picnic was actually similar to the barbecue we had during the previous mountain hike. The only difference was that this one was not on the mountain, but on a large grassland by the lake, which looked quite spacious at first glance.

That night, there were a lot of people at the picnic site, estimated to be several hundred people. In addition to people having picnics, there were also people selling food and singing, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Xu Lin is also responsible for making barbecue.

Because only he can make delicious barbecue, the ones made by Rong Xiyan and the others taste just average.

"Yaoyao, is the barbecue Xu Lin made delicious?"

Rong Xiyan's lips were greasy, and she asked Xia Xiyao beside her.

Xia Xiyao looked more ladylike and nodded, "Delicious!"

"Xu Lin, eat beef skewers!"

At this moment, Rong Xiyan put a skewer of beef to Xu Lin's mouth.

Xu Lin, who was grilling chicken wings, leaned over and took a bite.

Rong Xiyan turned around and took a bite at the place where Xu Lin had bitten her.

Xia Xiyao looked at this and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She also noticed this.

So Xia Xiyao has been quite conflicted recently, feeling that she shouldn't be like this.

The picnic lasted for three hours. A little after ten o'clock in the evening, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, cleaned up the trash, and then left.

At about eleven o'clock, the three of them returned home.

The two girls rested for a while, then went to take a bath in the bathtub and started chatting in the bathroom. It was not known how long it would take, but it would definitely take at least an hour.

Xu Lin took a ten-minute shower and returned to work at the computer.

When he came back just now, Xia Xiyao reminded him that the news of him selling the copyright had become a hot topic.

Xu Lin logged into Weibo out of curiosity to check the trending searches and noticed the number one trending search.

"Copyright at a sky-high price of 100 million"!
The word "one hundred million" in the title is indeed eye-catching enough. When you click on it, you will see that Xu Lin's book sold for a copyright value of one hundred million. The discussion is very heated, after all, this number is really too exaggerated.

You know, many people wouldn't even dream of having 100 million yuan, but someone wrote an online novel and sold the copyright of a book for 100 million yuan. It's scary.

Xu Lin scanned the hot searches for a while. He guessed that the website bought the hot searches to hype up the news. After all, a copyright worth 100 million yuan is unique both in the online literature world and in the real literature world. It is unprecedented and will most likely never be surpassed, so it is worth hyping up.

Then Xu Lin logged into QQ and saw the message from Ranzhi. The other party suggested that Xu Lin publish a separate chapter to talk about this matter.

Xu Lin thought about it and it was okay.

So Xu Lin edited a single chapter of about a thousand words.

First of all, the copyright was sold for 100 million yuan. I believe many people have seen it on the hot searches. Of course, he did not get 100 million yuan, but half of it, and he also had to pay one-fifth of the tax, so everyone should not get too excited.

Secondly, thank you all for your support.

Next, he said that the book will be completed in the middle to late next month. If all goes well next year, it will start filming as a TV series or movie, and the screenwriter will be the original author, so there is no need to worry about the plot being changed.

This is roughly the content of the chapter.

As the single chapter came out, there was another shock. Xu Lin's book now has too many readers, hundreds of thousands of people flocking in at once, and everyone was excited when they saw it.

You see, the author has confirmed that the copyright was really sold for 100 million yuan, but Mr. Xu took half and had to pay one-fifth of the tax, which means he had to pay 10 million yuan in tax.

"Oh my god! I've already paid 10 million in taxes!"

"Author, my heart can't take it!"

"The key point is that the author is a freshman at a 211 university, probably around or years old, right?"

"It makes me want to write an online article. I'm itching to do it!"

"I'm curious, if this were a movie or TV series, who would be the male and female leads? I hope they aren't some unknown celebrities."

"No, copyrights of this level must belong to a top-tier celebrity. It's impossible for an unknown celebrity like you to be given copyright."

"Curious who could play Miss Chi?"

People were talking a lot.

Soon, a new hot search came out. Although we haven’t gone climbing yet, a new entry has been formed.

"Online writer Mr. Xu earns 40 million yuan a day"!
The keywords of this hot search are also very explosive, to the extent that everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, will click on it when they see it.

Online writer?
Earn 40 million a day?
When people clicked on it, they were shocked again.

Many people thought the trending search about the copyright of 100 million yuan was fake, but now the person himself has come out to confirm it.

Oh shit!

Many people broke through the defense directly.

Xu Lin returned to QQ, chatted with Ranzhi for a while, and then clicked on the health group of masters.

Everyone in the group is active at this time.

There was no way around it. The fact that Xu Lin's book copyright was sold at a sky-high price shocked everyone.

At the same time, many people are also @Xu Lin.

Xu Lin sent a message: "I'm here."

"The Supreme Giant is coming!"

"Big man, let me worship you!"

Behind it is a series of repeaters.

Finally, someone interrupted the repetition: "This is terrible! I'm a so-called great man, and I only made a little over 7 million last year, and that was before tax. I still have to pay taxes next year, and Mr. Xu..."

"Compared to the big guys, I, a washed-up old platinum earning tens of millions a year, have become withdrawn. What I earn in a year is just what the big guys pay in taxes in a day!"

"I just passed 10 million last year and was so proud of myself. Now that the big boss is here, I feel embarrassed to speak."

"Oh my god, a lot of big guys are coming out!"

"Scary!"

"There is only one real boss among this group, and that's Mr. Xu!" said an old platinum.

"Mr. Xu is a freshman at a top-tier university. This is truly terrifying. He's so young and promising, and has reached the pinnacle. I can't even imagine it! If I had achieved this back then, no, if I had even one percent of Mr. Xu's achievements, wouldn't I have been able to easily take advantage of those pretty girls in college?"

People started another heated discussion.

Xu Lin just glanced at everyone's chat history. He was not very interested in the online group.

At this moment, someone @ him: "Is Xu Ju going to finish the book next month?"

Behind them, a group of people also started talking.

"Yeah, it was finished so quickly? It's less than a million words, right?"

"For a book of this caliber, let alone a family heirloom, I'd be doing myself a disservice if it didn't have three million words."

"If I had this result, I wouldn't dare finish it so quickly."

People felt bad for Xu Lin. After all, people had been working on a book like "The Master" for more than ten years, treating it like a family heirloom and never finishing it. But Xu Lin's current book, which earned him tens of millions in royalties last month and would undoubtedly break tens of millions this month, will be finished next month with less than a million words.

This is too willful.

Xu Lin replied: "It will be finished in the middle to late next month, about 800,000 words."

"Big Brother, are you not going to be involved in online writing anymore? I see you're going to develop your career in the entertainment industry or the music scene."

"Three of Ju Lao's songs have already topped the NetEase Cloud Music charts and have been trending on many hot searches. He's off to a flying start. A small place like the online literature circle can no longer allow a giant like Xu Ju to have fun!"

"To be honest, there's really not much money in the online literature industry. Someone like me, a platinum-winning writer who's barely out of fashion, only makes tens of millions a year. Those who are better than me only make two or three times as much, at most. At our level, we're already at the top of the industry, but even the top earn tens of millions. So, this industry really doesn't have a future. It's too small. Besides, none of us are the kind of people who are like Xu Ju. Normally, our income has already reached its ceiling. But what about the music industry or the entertainment industry? That's a ton of money!"

"The entertainment industry is where all the money is made. A single movie can rake in hundreds of millions, even billions. What's your online writing business got to offer? If I could escape this closed loop, I'd leave."

"Makes sense!"

Everyone was shocked and envious.

Xu Lin replied: "If I feel like it in the future, I might come back to write as a hobby."

"Big Boss is still too strong and too casual!"

Everyone sighed and couldn't help but envy Xu Lin's ability.

He came to this industry just for fun, unlike them who can only struggle in this industry.

Outstanding people are easily envied by others, but if someone is too outstanding, far surpassing you, then you may not even have the thought of jealousy, and in the end you will only have envy and admiration, or even prostration.

Xu Lin stayed in the group for more than ten minutes, chatted with Ranzhi for a while, and then quit QQ.

In addition, the quest "My Agreement with Miss Maybach" has been updated with a new progress of "Copyright Sold".

This task has a fixed reward and a random reward. Xu Lin estimates that after completing the book next month and unlocking the progress, he should be able to get both rewards, and the task will end there.

Then Xu Lin opened his second account, and Wu Chengfeng and others came to congratulate him on the sale of the copyright, and were shocked again.

Xu Lin had just been flattered by a group of people, but now he was calm.

So Xu Lin was too lazy to reply.

After he opened the second account, he opened the so-called assistant account that he had just registered.

He previously posted a new post on Xiaohongshu, asking those who wanted to ask him to write songs to add his assistant’s account first.

As soon as Xu Lin opened his assistant's account, he received more than 300 friend requests.

"So many? Aren't there some fans in there?"

Xu Lin looked at the friend requests. Those without a reason in the remarks were rejected and ignored, which meant he ignored them coldly.

In the end, out of more than 300 friend requests, Xu Lin only accepted 53 people.

These people all noted their reasons and were looking for cooperation.

However, there are two aspects to the cooperation. One is that there are forty-five people who want to ask Xu Lin to write songs, and the other eight people want to buy the copyrights of the three songs that Xu Lin released before.

Regarding the copyrights of his three songs, Xu Lin will not sell the first one "Qu Guang". He may consider selling the copyrights of the following songs "Snow Beyond the Clouds" and "Spring in the Snow", but he will only sell the performance right, not all the copyrights.

Songs have a copyright component called performance rights, which means you can use them for commercial performances, but you need to pay a certain fee to the original author.

The "Happy Birthday Song" is a song that anyone can sing and use freely in public places, but if it is used for commercial purposes, such as appearing in a TV series or movie, then you need to pay the copyright holder.

Xu Lin thought that for "Snow Beyond the Clouds" and "Spring in the Snow", he could provide the performance rights, but as for the others, there was no need to think about it. If he could accept it, he would accept it, and if he couldn't, forget it.

In this regard, Xu Lin couldn't help but wonder, since a performance right was offered, what about the fee?
How much do you pay me for one performance?

"No, just follow the profit ratio."

For example, if the other party holds a concert and earns three million from it, Xu Lin would ask for 10%, or one tenth. That’s not too much, right?
This is something I can sing for you as long as we cooperate. Xu Lin wants 10%, that's one reason, there is no buyout.

If you want to buy out the performance rights, meaning you're the only one who can use my song commercially, then I'm going to give you 20%.

So, Xu Lin has two cooperation models here.

The above is the collaboration model for Xu Lin’s own songs.

What if he was asked to write songs? What would his revenue model be?
Xu Lin thought about it again.

"For a song of my quality, selling one song for 25 isn't excessive, right? Also, if there's subsequent revenue from this song, like paid music software, 20% wouldn't be excessive, right? If I'm holding a concert, % wouldn't be excessive, right? There will be other songs at the concert, so it could be a little less."

In fact, the first 300,000 is not important. Xu Lin thinks it doesn’t have to be 300,000. Maybe 100,000 will be enough, depending on the situation. But he cannot get less of the share of the profits later. This is very critical.

In some movies, the stars don't receive any salary, or they receive very low salary or even no salary. However, they have to sign profit-sharing contracts and get a share of the box office revenue. If the movie takes off and makes tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, the final share of the net income will be quite high. Moreover, the movie will continue to generate income, and the star will continue to receive a portion of his share, so he can earn money without doing anything for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the first three hundred thousand or so is equivalent to the film remuneration, which is not very important. What is important is the latter part, which is a steady source of income.

Xu Lin sent these ideas for several models to Ms. Ren and asked her to include them in the contract.

Ms. Ren hasn't gone to bed yet.

When she saw Xu Lin’s message, she replied immediately.

“Can you really write songs?”

"Yes, I can buy a large flat in Jiangdu next year!"

"A large flat? That's tens of millions, right?"

"Sprinkle some water!"

"Bah! Sprinkle some water!"

Ms. Ren simply didn't believe it. She couldn't even imagine tens of millions.

Xu Lin suddenly had an idea and sent Ms. Ren a screenshot of his deposit?

More than nine million!

Ms. Ren: ? ?!

Ms. Ren: "Where did you get more than 9 million?"

"I wrote novels. Last month, I made quite a bit of money in royalties. 8.53 million before tax, 7.57 million after tax. Add to that the 550,000 I told you about earlier, and my previous savings, and the total is over 9 million!"

"Why didn't you tell me last time?"

"You're old, and I'm afraid your heart can't take it, so I decided to do it gradually, in two installments. Hehe.jpg×3"

"You're older, you little brat!"

Women are most afraid of having their age mentioned, especially for a woman who is almost forty years old. If she loses her temper in public, others may say in private that she is in menopause. Some may even say that she is about to go through menopause at her age.

Ms. Ren then said, "Don't lie to me, is this really the royalties?"

My mother was really afraid that Xu Lin would do something bad. Some industries are gray and it is easy to make money. As long as you have channels, as long as someone leads you, as long as you are brave enough, you can make money. However, it is written in the criminal law. If you are not careful, you will go to jail and your life will be ruined.

As a lawyer, she has handled all kinds of cases and has seen many people getting into trouble in the gray industry.

Xu Lin took a screenshot of the manuscript fee and sent it over.

Xu Lin: "Screenshot of the manuscript fee, do you believe it?"

After seeing the screenshot of more than 8 million yuan before tax, Ms. Ren finally believed it, although it was still hard to believe because it was too exaggerated.

"Why is the fee so high?"

Eight million five hundred and thirty thousand before tax!

It’s terrifying to look at!
My mother even counted it several times to make sure it was really a seven-digit number, not a six-digit number.

terrible!

She only had a few million in savings, and she was planning to buy a house for Xu Lin in Jiangdu and help him get married in the future.

As a result, her son’s monthly royalties exceeded her savings!

Earning eight million a month?
"I'm the mainstay of the website, and this kind of income is barely normal."

"What kind of novel is it? Mom wants to read it."

"Let's talk about it next time. I'll give you a surprise."

"Can't you say it now?"

"My book is doing really well, and the copyright has recently been released. It's going to be made into a TV series and a movie next year. I'll tell you after the New Year. Anyway, I'll give you a surprise."

"Can it be made into movies and TV series?"

Ms. Ren was quite shocked. She felt that movies and TV series were too far away from her.

In fact, Ms. Ren can find out which novel Xu Lin is from with just a quick search, or she can find out by looking at the trending searches now, but her focus is not on this at the moment.

"Of course I would lie to you."

"You lied to me so much, you little bastard!"

"Hey.jpg"

"Who will act in this TV series or movie?"

Xu Lin saw Ms. Ren’s question and searched: popular first-line female stars.

Xu Lin looked around and found that there weren't many female celebrities at this level. There were also a few who were very old or had poor figures. He ruled them all out first. Sister Dong Yu was an A-list star. Could she be his leading lady? Obviously not!

In the end, after looking around, Xu Lin found that none of them was what he liked.

There's nothing he can do about it. He's not a fan and doesn't pay attention to things in the entertainment industry.

"Dilraba!"

There was no other reason for mentioning Dilraba, it was just that this woman had followed his Douyin and Xiaohongshu before, and Xu Lin had some impression of her.

"Dilraba, is this true? She's a big star!"

"That's all. Don't put too many filters on the entertainment industry."

"I always feel like you're trying to trick me, you little brat."

"hey-hey."

"Still laughing!"

"When I become successful, I will buy you a big house!"

"Go! Coax your mother again!"

My mother was very happy. She felt that her son had made great progress.

"Ms. Ren Yan, let's stop talking for now. Good night."

"Okay, good night."

After finishing the chat with my mom.

Rong Xiyan and the others were still taking a shower. An hour had already passed, and they were probably ready to come out.

Xu Lin's gaze fell on the assistant's trumpet again.

Fifty-three people. After Xu Lin replied to a few of them, he felt troubled. He was not a person who chatted online much to begin with, and now he was facing more than fifty people at once. This was just the beginning, and there was a high probability that there would be more people later.

Can you bear this?
"Damn it, I have to think of something."

Xu Lin really wants to hire an assistant.

But then he thought, if he hired an assistant to handle this, he would have to set up a company, pay salaries, arrange accommodation, and teach the other party how to connect, right?

In short, it’s a lot of miscellaneous things.

Xu Lin didn't want to go through so much trouble for the time being.

"Let me think about it..."

Xu Lin pondered for a few minutes.

"There is."

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

Today he got a new skill.

Programming Master!

"Now that DS is open source, in the AI ​​era, I have to keep up with the development."

Xu Lin is now a master in the field of programming, a top-notch player among the top.

So, Xu Lin spent some time to create a smart mini-program. Then Xu Lin entered all the chat records between himself and others in WeChat and QQ into the mini-program, allowing the smart mini-program to learn his chat pattern and thinking pattern. Finally, he connected to the assistant's small account to chat with the person on the other side.

In fact, this is still a very simple small program. It can only be active in the chat area, and Xu Lin has to keep an eye on it.

Moreover, the chat sample size he input was not large enough, and the underlying architecture of the mini program was also very simple, so it couldn't do much at all.

However, Xu Lin felt that he just needed to continue to improve and train it in the future.

In fact, Xu Lin sometimes doesn’t want to communicate with humans online.

So, the fifty-three people on the other side had no idea that they were chatting with a small program. Although some individual sentences seemed to have problems, no one cared.

Xu Lin spent a few minutes screening, and finally out of fifty-three people, only six were able to add his work number.

With the help of the smart chat applet, Xu Lin’s efficiency is much higher.

Among them, five people wanted him to write songs, and one person wanted to buy the copyright of his songs.

The others are too insincere.

For example, when it comes to songwriting, after Xu Lin said that a song would cost 100,000 yuan, almost everyone was discouraged.

He didn't even say 300,000, but you can't bear 100,000.

Xu Lin did not refute this and simply ignored it. If my friend sends one more word, I will lose.

As for those who wanted to buy the copyright of his songs, when they heard that Xu Lin was only offering the performance rights instead of the whole set, some of them withdrew their efforts.

Xu Lin’s attitude is, buy it if you want or not.

Xu Lin is not afraid of not having a market now.

In the end, only one person was left who wanted to buy the performance rights to his song.

So, six people were added to Xu Lin’s work number.

This time, Xu Lin did not use the smart chat applet, but did it himself.

On the other side, Rong Xiyan and the others also came out of the shower. In fact, they came out when Xu Lin was working on the mini program just now, but they had washed their hair, so they blow-dried their hair for half an hour.

Half an hour later, they walked into the e-sports room.

The heater was on in the room. Rong Xiyan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and underwear, while Xia Xiyao was wearing a vest and shorts, with their long legs swaying.

And what about Rong Xiyan? Her big butt sat directly on Xu Lin's thigh.

"what?"

Xu Lin was working when this girl came over.

"Nothing!"

Rong Xiyan was in a good mood. She sat cross-legged on Xu Lin's thighs, moving around, trying to squeeze into Xu Lin's arms completely.

"Sit aside for now, I have things to deal with."

"What are you busy with? You're ignoring your girlfriend?"

"You are my girlfriend?"

"I'm your sister, okay?"

"Who usually calls me brother?"

"I don't care. I'm only a month older than you. I'm your sister!"

Rong Xiyan would not give in, and Xu Lin had gotten used to it.

"Xiyan, how about we play a game?"

On the other side, Xia Xiyao saw that Xu Lin was busy with something, so she simply sent Rong Xiyan away.

"Forget it, Yaoyao, let's play games and ignore this big bad guy. He ate everything and still despises me!"

Rong Xiyan glared at Xu Lin and sat on the gaming chair in front of the second computer.

There are three computers here. Xu Lin is sitting at the one against the wall, Rong Xiyan is in the middle, and Xia Xiyao is at the last one.

Xu Lin glanced at her and then continued to be busy, while Rong Xiyan and the others also opened the PC game Naraka: Bladepoint.

On the other side, Xu Lin started chatting with six people.

Five of them want to write songs.

However, after chatting for a while, Xu Lin mentioned his cooperation model. Of the five songwriters, only three were left, and he persuaded two more to withdraw. These two said they would consider it for the time being.

Xu Lin didn't care about this. If the songs he wrote were successful and his reputation rose, it might be difficult to find him to work with him again.

When a company is first established, it is relatively easy to acquire shares. But as it grows and becomes bigger, you will have to pay a high price to get in, and you may not be able to get in even if you pay a high price.

For Xu Lin, after all, he has been given a work number, and he has been given an opportunity. But if you don't seize it, then there is nothing you can do. There is only one chance, and there will not be a second one.

The remaining three people who wanted Xu Lin to write songs for them were Xu Zilong, Yao Fangqian and Liu Minghai, two men and one woman.

Xu Lin also wanted to learn about their information.

Xu Zilong is a sophomore student at a private undergraduate school.

Yao Fangqian is also a college student, much better than Xu Zilong, and is studying at a first-class university.

Liu Minghai is a little-known folk musician.

All three of them said that they had musical dreams and wanted to pursue their dreams.

However, the music industry is like that. You can't pursue it just because you have a dream. First of all, you must have certain abilities, such as decent singing skills. As for your voice, it doesn't seem to be important, as long as you have all five tones. Li Xingliang's voice is really not good, even to Xu Lin it is unpleasant, but "Wish to Win One Person's Heart" is indeed very popular.

Therefore, Xu Lin feels that a very important point in being involved in music is to have good works. As for whether you can become popular, it depends on your fate. There is no shortage of examples in the music industry where songs are popular but the people themselves are not. Maybe it is because the voice is not distinctive enough, or maybe it is because the people are not good-looking enough. There are too many reasons.

But if you sing well enough, there are many ugly-looking big names in the music industry. As long as you have good personal abilities and outstanding works, you will be successful.

But Xu Lin doesn't care about this. His works must be good. As for what kind of person you are, it depends on you. He really can't do anything about it. As the ancients said, one is fate, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulating good deeds, and five is reading.

Xu Lin chatted with them for a while and his first impression was pretty good.

Xu Lin replied in unison: "It's the cooperation model I just mentioned. One hundred thousand per song. I can handle it all. We will sign the contract in the next few days. The contract includes the subsequent profit sharing. If you agree, reply ok. We will have a happy cooperation."

After all, they had been selected from dozens of people, and all three of them sent an "ok".

"Just say ok and it's fine!"

Xu Lin was in a good mood.

But just then.

[Your main line of lyrics and music has a new task triggered +. 】

?

[Triggerable quest: Lyrics and music branch quest - Music Dream Master!]

[Note: Become the man behind a famous musician and train at least three popular musicians to unlock two random rewards. Train five popular musicians to unlock three random rewards.]

[Note: Due to the considerable difficulty of this task, the task period is two years!]

"This mission seems a bit similar to 'The Man Behind the Gods'..."

Xu Lin discovered the similarities. The latter wanted Xu Lin to cultivate online literary masters, that is, to cultivate industry leaders, and this task should be almost completed.

Now, this music dream-making master is cultivating popular musicians, and in essence, he also wants Xu Lin to cultivate industry leaders.

So, these two tasks are similar.

"But there are some differences, especially in terms of difficulty."

On the online literature side, the people like Toudao whom Xu Lin met at the beginning were all mid-level powerful authors in the industry, so it was easier to train them. On the music side, the people who came to Xu Lin were of varying quality, so it would be more difficult to train them.

"let me see……"

"It seems that I can only use the tactic of solving a large number of questions first."

Xu Lin thought about it for a while, and finally his idea was to recruit more people first, and then screen them later. Those with relatively outstanding personal abilities would be given special attention.

In fact, this is true in all walks of life. If you have average talent, no matter how hard you work, you won't get much better, because talent determines a person's upper limit, which is absolute. Just like the music here, to become a popular musician, first of all, you must have strong personal strength, and secondly, you must have good works. These two things are very critical, but the most important thing is that your personal ability must be outstanding enough, that is, God has given you a chance, and if you add works, you will take off directly.

As for those who have worked to the utmost and overcome their talents through hard work, this is also part of the survivor bias and is not worth discussing because such people may be even fewer than those with outstanding talents.

Therefore, Xu Lin will pay special attention to players with outstanding personal abilities.

Thinking of this, Xu Lin sent a message to the three of them.

The reply was also unified: Try singing a song, anything is fine, but you must sing seriously. I want to see your level, and it would be best if you can highlight your personal characteristics and musical ability.

Xu Lin waited for ten minutes, and the three people sent voice or video messages one after another.

Xu Lin put on his headphones and listened to them one by one.

Now that he was proficient in singing, he could tell what was wrong with the three of them the moment he heard them.

However, it is worth mentioning that Yao Fangqian is a soprano and sounds pretty good.

Generally speaking, girls are more likely to sing high notes than boys. It is quite complicated to explain. One of the reasons is the physiological structure, that is, the vocal cords. Girls' vocal cords are more likely to sing high notes than boys.

"The soprano is pretty good, at least she has some outstanding qualities. Xu Zilong and Liu Minghai are also okay... Never mind, I was just being too demanding. I'm just cheating. They're actually pretty good too. I'll have to teach them some singing skills later."

Then, Xu Lin asked them to send him their personal selfies.

Being in the music industry means being in the spotlight, and if you have decent looks, you'll still be quite popular.

Soon, three people sent their selfies over.
I can only say that they are all ordinary people, but it is normal when you think about it. How could there be a handsome man or a beautiful woman just like that?
"Actually, we can clean it up the day after tomorrow."

Xu Zilong looked like an honest man. He wore glasses, had the same hairstyle as Fei Ke, and his clothes were a bit rustic.

Xu Lin said, "You should clean yourself up first and create a good image. Music requires exposure, so at least your image should be acceptable."

Liu Minghai is a bit sloppy. He doesn't even shave, so his beard looks messy and his hair even looks a bit greasy.

Damn, what kind of music is this?
Xu Lin said, "You look quite handsome if you clean yourself up. You can't make music like this. You'll be ruined in public. You're too sloppy. Even a man like me can't stand looking at you."

Where is Yao Fangqian?

Girls just need to put on makeup. As long as they have a decent figure and put some effort into their face, it will be fine.

When Yao Fangqian was taking the photo, her upper body could also be seen. Xu Lin estimated that given her body shape, her height should not be less than 1.65 meters, and her figure was also good.

As for Yao Fangqian, she wore glasses and no makeup. She looked like an honest girl who didn't know how to dress herself up, or maybe she just didn't like to dress herself up.

Xu Lin’s request to her was very simple: to sign up for a class online to learn how to put on makeup.

Xu Lin explained all this and hasn't collected any money yet. Now let them deal with themselves first.

Wouldn't it take me several days to think about writing a song?

In fact, Xu Lin only needs one day, but he wants to go out and play tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which are weekends.

Xu Lin thought about it. His main task now, "Lyrics and Music", has two sub-tasks: "Divine Song Producer" and "Music Dream Master". The former requires him to create ten popular divine songs, that is, popular hits, while "Music Dream Master" requires him to train three or even five popular musicians. These two tasks can obviously overlap, because in essence they both require Xu Lin to write songs, but the latter has an additional training step. Therefore, when doing the task of "Music Dream Master", the "Divine Song Producer" can actually be completed by the way.

Finally, Xu Lin clicked on the fourth person's account.

This is a boy, his nickname is Cangzhou Nicholas Tse.

Xu Lin: "What's your real name?"

"Big Boss, my name is Ting Xie! I'm also your book friend. I've been following you since your new book was first released! Sunglasses.jpg"

Xu Lin suddenly realized.

"Which cooperation model do you want? But as we agreed before, I'm only selling the performance rights to the two songs 'Snow Beyond the Clouds' and 'Spring in the Snow'. There are two cooperation models, you can choose one."

"Big brother, I want to buy it out. I absolutely love these two songs of yours! Sunglasses.jpg×2"

"Son, my buyout price is not low!"

"Big Boss, name a price. My family is not short of money!"

Damn, is a rich second generation coming?

Xu Lin replied, "Buying out is secondary. Even though you're the only one singing, you're the one using the song commercially, so you have to give me a share of the profits later."

Nicholas Tse: "Big brother, I know, I can accept it! Baring teeth.jpg dog head.jpg"

Xu Lin: "One million for each song, two million for two songs."

Xu Lin was not joking. He had already bought out the performance rights. One million per song should be considered low. He didn't know what the situation was in the industry.

"Big Boss, isn't that too little? I think each of your two songs should be bought out for at least three million. I really love these two songs!"

Xu Lin didn't reply immediately, thinking that you should give me six million first.

Ting Ting's message came again: "Big brother, six million, let's be friends, I really want to debut, can you give me some guidance?"

Xu Lin: "Send me a selfie first. If you want to debut, at least you have to be handsome."

Ting Xie: "Big brother, wait for me!"

Soon, Nicholas Tse sent a selfie with the same hairstyle as Nicholas Tse in the early days.

This guy is really handsome, with a Hong Kong style of handsomeness. At least he is not the effeminate type of guy in Japan and South Korea nowadays.

Xu Lin hates sissy men the most.

In addition, from what Xu Lin saw in the background of Tingyi's selfie, it should be in his room, which does not look like an ordinary room.

The rich second generation is confirmed.

Nicholas Tse: "Big brother, this is me, handsome or not?"

Xu Lin: "It's stable!"

Ting Xie: "Thank you!"

Xu Lin: "Just sing a few lines and let me see how good you are."

Nicholas Tse: "Big brother, please wait for me for a few minutes."

Five minutes later, Nicholas Tse sent a video.

He sang the first half of his "Snow Beyond the Clouds".

Ting Xie: "Big brother, how is it?"

Xu Lin: "It's time to debut!"

Nicholas Tse is a man who was born with a special talent. His voice is unique and pleasant, and he has all five tones. It would be a waste if he didn't make his debut.

Xu Lin felt that he had discovered a good talent. Nicholas Tse had the potential to be very popular. He had good looks and a good voice, all the basic conditions to become a hit. As for singing skills, that could be acquired through practice.

Xu Lin’s new task is to train popular musicians, and Nicholas Tse should be the main focus.

Therefore, Xu Lin's mood became better and better.

Nicholas Tse: "Big Brother, can you please be frank and not speak in jargon?"

Xu Lin: "You are the next Nicholas Tse!"

"My blood is boiling!"

"By the way, how tall are you?"

Celebrities can't be short either.

"It's said 181, but the actual number is 179.7."

"It's more than enough for a debut."

"Thank you!"

Ting Xie: "Big brother, how do I transfer money to you?"

"Let's talk about it in two days. I'm busy in the next two days."

"okay."

"Let's talk later. I'm going offline now."

After Xu Lin sent the message, he switched to his main account.

He wants to rest on weekends and doesn't want to worry about these things. Besides, there is no rush.

Besides, the contract with my mother hasn't been finalized yet.
