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

Chapter 168 Scriptwriting: Xu Lin's First Script Goes Online

After ending his chat with Ranzhi, Xu Lin logged into his work account.

He first spent the better part of half an hour replying to messages from Wu Chengfeng and the others.

Now Xu Lin has another author, Yue Ye, to reply to.

A while ago, Xu Lin gave him the final outline, and a week later, Yueye also finished the beginning of his new book. Xu Lin gave him some suggestions for revision, and after some revisions, Yueye successfully published the book.

At the time, Xu Lin even gave him a special recommendation.

So, it can be said that Moonlit Night had a very good start. In the first three days, his new book had 100,000 favorites.

Another week has passed, and the book has already surpassed 200,000 favorites. All the data is excellent, making it far ahead of other new books. Several popular authors have launched new books before the Chinese New Year, but none of them can surpass this book.

Furthermore, with Xu Lin's recommendation, and Xu Lin even mentioning that Yueye is his fifth apprentice, everyone in the industry knows that another online novel master is about to rise.

Xu Lin now has to reply to all five of them at once, so it takes him quite a while.

More than half an hour passed, and it was almost 10 p.m.

However, Xu Lin wasn't finished yet; he still had news to deal with regarding Xie Ting and the others.

Xu Lin's first round of auditions in the music industry included ten people. After a period of development, although everyone's performance seemed quite good, Xu Lin had high standards. So, after the final selection, only Xie Ting was the most satisfactory. Xie Ting is a talented contestant, so there's not much to say about him.

Next in line are soprano Yao Fangqian, folk singer Xu Zilong, and rapper Zhao Liangchen.

The three of them each have their own unique characteristics, while the remaining six are simply not good enough for Xu Lin because Xu Lin's songs are good, and they are not particularly outstanding or distinctive.

What are the unique characteristics of Yao Fangqian and the other two?
First of all, Yao Fangqian is a soprano, and the field of soprano is not so crowded. Moreover, not many people can play the soprano role. Therefore, we can increase our efforts to cultivate Yao Fangqian. Xu Lin thinks she has a lot of potential.

Secondly, there's Xu Zilong. He sings folk songs, and while his abilities aren't particularly outstanding, Xu Lin observed that his voice has a storytelling quality. His voice is so captivating that it immediately evokes a sense of narrative, similar to the style of Jonathan Lee. Xu Lin found this to be quite unique and rare, so it's worth focusing on developing his talent.

Finally, there's Zhao Liangchen. There's not much to say about his rap. This track is quite special, and Xu Lin thinks Zhao Liangchen can be very strong.

Therefore, in conclusion, there are only four people left in the first phase who are worth focusing on developing.

After Xu Lin, he will be very busy. First, he will have to enjoy life by eating, drinking, having fun, and then he will use the remaining time to deal with work. Therefore, he cannot spend a lot of time to be thorough in everything. He will pay special attention to people like Xie Ting, but for others, it's simply a matter of you pay me and I will write songs for you. Of course, if you ask me questions, I will also answer them.

That's how Xu Lin handled it.

However, starting from the second phase, Xu Lin will raise the recruitment threshold.

Xu Lin will set up a disciple class, with only five people in each class. They will receive his special training, but the threshold will be very high. It's not that you have to pay a lot of money to get into the disciple class, but rather that Xu Lin will look at the level of the person. Someone with high talent like Xie Ting will be admitted without hesitation, or someone with other outstanding talents, such as a soprano or tenor, will also be admitted directly, or someone with particularly strong singing skills can also be admitted.

Simply put, if you have talent and ability, then come.

Therefore, starting from the second round of recruitment, Xu Lin is going to take a high-quality approach. The first round was just to build a reputation, and now that goal has been achieved.

Xu Lin is now focused on cultivating top talents, so opening a disciple class and taking a premium approach is more suitable.

This will reduce time costs and increase the success rate.

It took Xu Lin another half hour to reply to Xie Ting and the others' questions. Actually, it was all planned out. Xu Lin was in his dorm and it wasn't convenient to use voice messages, so he didn't answer many of them.

We'll talk about it next time.

All ten of them are currently doing very well. After this period of development, they have dominated the charts on QQ Music, which has shocked the music scene. People had no idea that Xu Lin's works were so powerful.

Several people even asked Xu Lin when he would write a song.

Xu Lin's replies were all for next month.

With only a few days left in the month, Xu Lin didn't want to deal with things here anymore.

The time has come to 10:40.

"I need to think about the script."

Tonight, Ranzhi also mentioned that Xu Lin's novel has been completed, and there are plans to adapt it into a TV series next spring.

For film and television adaptations, the website and the copyright holder usually negotiate and determine the timeframe.

Now, while the iron is hot, we'll start looking for a crew to film a TV series after the New Year.

Both TV series and movies are available; let's see how the TV series performs first.

And what about the cast?

Xu Lin wasn't sure either, but since he was the screenwriter, he would be in charge of writing the script for this TV series.

"Let's study the script first!"

Xu Lin realized that he had never worked with a script before and didn't know how to write one.

He searched for a short video that taught how to write a script.

For someone like Xu Lin, who seems to have a cheat code, writing is effortless and his abilities are superb. He can write anything without any problem, as long as he knows the format of a certain genre.

To write a screenplay now, you need to know how to write a screenplay.

Therefore, Xu Lin watched the most-liked scriptwriting tutorial video. After watching it, Xu Lin had a clear understanding of the matters related to scriptwriting.

"Next, I'll practice writing a script!"

Time: 10:50.

In Xu Lin's dormitory, people usually don't go to sleep until one or two in the morning.

He checked the video; it didn't matter.

"Let me think, what kind of script should I write?"

Xu Lin opened the 2025 ranking of domestic TV dramas.

"The Chess Player", "When the Geese Return"...

Neither of them had been watched, and Xu Lin didn't watch TV dramas either.

What about further ahead? What are some classic TV dramas?

"The Storm", "In the Name of the People", "Ming Dynasty 1566"...

In general, there is a wide variety of domestic TV dramas. In addition to some ancient and modern romance dramas specifically for women, there are also historical dramas, suspense dramas, crime dramas, and so on.

"Ancient idols appearing in modern times?"

"Pass!"

Xu Lin thought both kinds of dramas were so cringeworthy that no man would even glance at them.

What about shows like "The Storm" and "In the Name of the People"?

Xu Lin thought it had potential, but upon closer examination, he realized he couldn't write about this kind of subject matter. The mainstream approach, where justice inevitably triumphs over evil, limited Xu Lin's room for maneuver, so it wasn't very interesting.

"Given my talent, to fully utilize it, I need to choose a great subject matter, and it can't be a realistic one, otherwise it's easy to fail to pass censorship."

Xu Lin thought of "Da Ming Dynasty 1566".

Xu Lin had watched this drama.

He wanted to create a similar genre, namely a historical drama about political intrigue.

Xu Lin has been reading the Twenty-Four Histories lately, and he's getting a little itchy to do it himself

However, Xu Lin doesn't write about real history either, because the framework is there, and real history can't be changed, so he has too little room to maneuver.

Therefore, Xu Lin wanted to write an alternate history.

Fictional history can be interesting, as long as the script is good. Shows like "Joy of Life" are of this type, but in terms of political intrigue, it is far inferior to shows like "Ming Dynasty 1566".

"Then let's write a fictional historical drama about political intrigue!"

Just as Xu Lin had this thought, the long-awaited notification appeared.

Huh?
[Your Screenwriting Journey +]

?

[Triggerable quest: Side quest in drama – God of Political Intrigue.]

[Note: Create a blockbuster political intrigue drama that is worthy of being called a masterpiece. The task has a time limit of one and a half years and will reward you with a random large reward.]

Xu Lin was a little surprised that a new side quest had been started.

Previously, Xu Lin already had two side stories: one about being a top student and the other about writing lyrics and music. Now, he has another side story about writing dramas.

"In that case, let's settle on a political intrigue drama!"

Xu Lin no longer hesitated.

He thought about it for a moment, and then inspiration struck him.

Firstly, it's an ancient-style TV series, and it's also a fictional one. So Xu Lin set this dynasty as the Jing Dynasty, specifically referencing the bureaucratic and social systems of the Tang Dynasty.

However, none of these are important; they are just basic issues, because they make it easier to integrate into this world.

Where is the main character?
An ensemble drama doesn't need a main character, and Xu Lin doesn't want to create one either. He believes that everyone can be a protagonist, and he needs everyone to shine. There aren't even any good guys or bad guys; there are only different stances.

Is there a strict distinction between good guys and bad guys in real history?
not at all.

Just like if you think about yourself, you'll know whether you're a good person or a bad person. The answer is, you're neither a good person nor a bad person, but similarly, you can be a good person or a bad person, because good and evil are just a thought away, and your perspective is determined by your position.

Therefore, Xu Lin wanted to highlight one thing: the complexity of human nature.

A well-rounded character must possess complex human nature. For example, a corrupt official might have been a pure and idealistic young man when he was young, but as time went by, he was influenced by his surroundings and eventually became a scoundrel.

But he was once a young man full of ideals, so he may still have some conscience left in his heart. This is the complexity of human nature.

This is because purely evil people are as rare as purely saintly people, but the complex masses of people are everywhere. Everyone can be a good person, and everyone can be a scoundrel, depending on whether a person chooses actively or passively.

Xu Lin is working on a historical political drama this time, something very realistic.

What is this story?
The old emperor of the Jing Dynasty was about to die, but he had three sons, who represented three factions.

In addition, the old emperor did not appoint a crown prince.

He was an extremely cold-blooded political monster who turned a blind eye to the fact that his three sons would win the power struggle, even if they killed each other.

Thus, the story unfolds around the struggle between the three princes, which represents three factions.

At the same time, in order to increase the conflict in the story, Xu Lin also had to set the specific character settings and configurations of the three princes.

The eldest prince possesses exceptional personal charisma and the strongest abilities, making him the most qualified to succeed the old emperor and rule the world. He also has a group of capable individuals under his command who are eager to advance.

The second prince is power-hungry and ruthless, wanting to rule the world and possess everything.

The third prince had no interest in the throne and was the least capable of the three, but he was born a sage and had a great dream of ensuring that all the people in the world were well-fed and clothed.

The three princes each had their own factions and representatives.

Three factions, openly and covertly vying for power, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface.

The story unfolds from here.

Of course, since it is a power struggle, things need to be done, so Xu Lin also set up several major events around the struggle of the three princes, including several major internal cases and foreign diplomatic events.

This is just a simple story outline. Xu Lin was bursting with inspiration, throwing out a bunch of ideas and showcasing his talent.

There was no way around it; he wrote with divine inspiration.

Xu Lin had to set up the story, characters, and so on.

What about political maneuvering?
This is even more important. Xu Lin has read through all twenty-four histories. The things our ancestors did were recorded in the historical books, so Xu Lin already had a good understanding of political intrigue, which made writing about it very easy for him.

Xu Lin spent more than two hours writing 40,000 words for the initial script.

But this is only a preliminary script, and Xu Lin still needs to refine it.

"Let's look into it further in the coming days, there's no rush."

A year and a half is more than enough time for the task, and he has already completed the first draft.

It's Sunday night now, and the next few days before New Year's Day are enough for Xu Lin to finish.

The next day arrived as expected.

This is the last week of December. Some courses are almost finished, with only a few courses having their last class of the semester remaining.

So this week, unlike before, I don't have classes almost every day.

On Mondays, there's only one math class in the morning, and no classes in the afternoon. But on Tuesdays? There are no classes in the morning, and no classes in the afternoon anyway, so it's a full day off.

Xu Lin wasn't idle either; he and Ning Yuhan had been going to the city library for the past two days. Ning Yuhan had been studying this week and had no classes at all.

So in the past two days, Xu Lin finished reading the remaining four histories of Liao, Jin, Yuan and Ming in the Twenty-Four Histories. He finally managed to read all of the Twenty-Four Histories before the end of this year, just as originally planned.

After reading the Twenty-Four Histories, Xu Lin had many thoughts, feeling as if he had overlooked the long river of time and appreciated the myriad aspects of life of the ancients.

"Three thousand years of reading history, nothing but fame and fortune; nine thousand miles of enlightenment, ultimately returning to poetry, wine and pastoral life."

This couplet is said to be from Mr. Nan Huaijin's home, summarizing the ultimate pursuit of generations of Chinese people over the past thousands of years.

Xu Lin also had some thoughts to share.

I feel that the script could be revised more carefully.

He needed to write about people's fervent pursuit of fame and fortune, as well as their yearning for a utopian paradise of poetry and distant lands.

In Xu Lin's view, an excellent TV series should possess a sufficient number of excellent spiritual core elements.

"Let me think about it..."

After some thought, Xu Lin decided to add something more to the script.

He wants to add another character, a man of ambition from the martial arts world. Witnessing the suffering of the people, he follows a capable man and together they join a minister under the Third Prince. This capable man was originally also an ambitious man with the noble ideal of saving the people from suffering, but he was corrupted by power and gradually became decadent and degenerate.

Xu Lin sets the final victor as the Third Prince, who is determined to make the country better and successfully rule the world.

However, the resistance behind him was too great. When he ascended the throne, he found that the country was already riddled with problems. The mess left by the old emperor or his ancestors was simply beyond his ability to handle.

The Jing Dynasty, as set by Xu Lin, is in the later stage of a feudal dynasty. It has accumulated too many problems and is rolling towards the historical cycle. The fall of the country is only a matter of time. The only difference is how long it can survive.

Xu Linxin's newly created character, a man of ambition in the martial arts world, is an observer. He watches as those he follows turn into evil dragons, and as those who once fought alongside him are blinded by power, money, and beauty, their hearts corrupted, and their nature eroded.

Ultimately, this ambitious bystander, feeling powerless, decided to retire to the countryside and distance himself from worldly strife.

Under the grand theme of historical power struggles, let's add a touch of the core ideas of the Chinese people to enrich the narrative.

After all, every Chinese person has, to some extent, the idea of ​​retiring to the countryside, and Xu Lin used this idea to embellish the ending.

However, this person's retreat to the countryside was a last resort; in literary terms, it's about deepening the theme and criticizing society.

Xu Lin felt that this was pretty much the case.

Only then can the overall structure of a script be considered complete.

Xu Lin improved the core ideas of the script, highlighting the core concept of the historical cycle.

The so-called historical cycle has only one answer, which is the saying: "What did the Six Dynasties do? They only pursued their own selfish interests."

People were lustful three thousand years ago, and people are lustful three thousand years later.

The wheels of history keep turning and productivity keeps developing, but human nature has never changed.

Therefore, Xu Lin's script also places great emphasis on the depiction of human nature.

"I'll find a channel to sell the script later, but will my script pass censorship after it's made?" Xu Lin felt that what he wrote was too explicit.

His script is definitely fine; it's a matter of ability. As someone with exceptional talent, of course his scripts wouldn't be bad.

But can this be made into a TV series?

Actually, the content inside is quite explicit.

For example, "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" almost failed to pass censorship due to its profound themes and complex human nature. In short, it went through many twists and turns before it was finally broadcast.

The political intrigue drama Xu Lin is in now is like this, even more explicit.

"Never mind, we'll see when the time comes."

If someone takes on Xu Lin's script and then invests in it, he can make a lot of money.

The money that TV dramas make is incomparable to that of online novels.

In the entire entertainment sector, online literature is at the bottom of the food chain, sharing the same fate as comics.

But for Xu Lin, there was something more important: the TV series had to be filmed, successfully released, and become a hit to be considered a blockbuster and for him to receive the reward. Otherwise, no matter how good the script was, it would all be nonsense.

"Honey, Professor Huang just gave me the topic for my thesis."

Seeing that Xu Lin had closed his book, Ning Yuhan gently nudged his arm. Xu Lin told her to wait until Professor Huang gave her thesis topic and then tell him so he could take a look.

"What's the question?"

"this."

Ning Yuhan showed Professor Huang's information to Xu Lin.

Topic focus: Macroeconomic theory and policy, specifically the adjustment of China's trade policy from the perspective of current anti-globalization.

Professor Huang's assignment to Ning Yuhan was this very thing.

It was just for Ning Yuhan to practice. Actually, it was a very simple and common paper topic. You can find a lot of them on CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). So it was just for practice. Ning Yuhan had never written a paper before.

In the first half of this year, China and the United States were locked in a fierce battle, with tariffs being offset between the two countries. This clash between major powers has significantly impacted global trade.

So Professor Huang chose this topic.

In addition, Professor Huang required that a quantitative paper be written.

What is a quantitative research paper?

Xu Lin heard the microeconomics teacher mention it briefly during class, but that was all he heard.

"Honey, take a look at this."

Ning Yuhan opened a paper using a paper reading software on her laptop.

Ning Yuhan said, "This is a quantitative paper."

Xu Lin started sweeping.

This was actually his first time reading a research paper, and he didn't know the difference between quantitative research papers and other papers.

Is it difficult?

"I don't think it's difficult. I have econometrics in the first semester of my sophomore year, so I have a basic foundation."

Ning Yuhan said that this econometrics paper requires collecting data, building an econometric model, and using either Stata or EViews software for empirical analysis of the data, which is quite complicated.

Xu Lin was completely confused because he had never been exposed to it before.

But he was just bored out of his mind, so he said, "Let me check the data for you. What kind of data do you want?"

"Won't it be too much trouble? I can do it myself slowly."

Ning Yuhan felt that Xu Lin was usually quite busy, and didn't really want to bother him.

Moreover, data collection is the most troublesome part of writing a paper, but writing the paper itself is much faster. If things go smoothly, I can produce several thousand words of the main text in a single day.

However, data is different. Collecting a set of data can take ten days to half a month, which is very troublesome. After collecting the data, you still need to organize and analyze it.

"Didn't they say it was a public database? It should be quite simple."

Xu Lin brought out the mini-program he had developed earlier and placed it on Ning Yuhan's laptop. This mini-program had been improved by Xu Lin over this period of time and could be used to assist in chatting with others or to handle some simple tasks.

Xu Lin then asked, "What kind of data do you want?"

"Quite a lot..."

Ning Yuhan then mentioned some data indicators in the economic field.

In econometric papers, there are explained variables, core explanatory variables, and control variables. For example, Ning Yuhan's paper sets the explained variable as the Gross National Product (GDP), the core explanatory variable as the total import and export volume, and the control variables as things that may affect the first two. At least several of these need to be found. Therefore, this paper needs at least seven or eight data indicators.

Furthermore, in order for the paper to have any value, the data must be up-to-date.

Ning Yuhan said they need to find quarterly indicators.

For example, it is now the last week of 2025, and the data for the first three quarters has been released. In addition to this year's data, we also need to find data from several previous years.

Xu Lin directly instructed the mini-program to find a set of data and format it according to the data format of a quantitative paper.

The data came out quickly; it was all from a publicly available database.

"So fast?"

Ning Yuhan was quite surprised when she saw the data.

Xu Lin said, "These data belong to those databases; you can use them directly."

"Mmm, thank you, honey!"

"Is there anything else you're looking for? Let's look for it while we're at it. We'll go eat later."

"And there are related papers!"

Ning Yuhan thought for a moment: "At least twenty papers! Ten in Chinese and ten in foreign languages."

"Then let's take thirty articles, one and a half each."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Lin then instructed the mini-program to search according to this instruction.

However, after Ning Yuhan reminded him, Xu Lin set a prerequisite: a high-quality new paper was required.

High quality is simple; many papers are garbage and have no reference value.

As for new ones, it's quite simple. Papers from ten years ago in some fields are no longer of reference value. The pace of progress is too fast. Take global trade, for example. Ten years ago, it was a time of mutual benefit and prosperity for everyone. At that time, the global economy was booming, but now globalization has reversed.

Papers are usually found on platforms like CNKI and Wanfang, but for high-quality, new papers, mini-programs are ubiquitous.

"nailed it!"

Before long, Xu Lin spoke, and thirty papers were prominently listed.

"So fast!"

"Time is life. Next time you need data or papers, just ask me. Don't waste too much time on these meaningless things."

"Mmm, thank you, honey."

"Boyfriends and girlfriends don't need to say thank you, just give me some real action tonight."

"Then I'll kiss my darling husband!"

Ning Yuhan leaned over and kissed Xu Lin with a blush on her face.

She still blushes easily.

I said tonight!

Xu Lin reminded her, "A kiss now doesn't count. Tonight, you'll be all naked, senior!"

Ning Yuhan pursed her lips and nodded.

"And, senior, I want twin tails!"

Xu Lin reached out and touched Ning Yuhan's long hair; it had been a while since he had tried wearing pigtails.

Moreover, Ning Yuhan's hair has grown quite long; she hasn't cut it. She has the longest hair among all the girls in the school, without exception.

She might even have the best hair quality; Rong Xiyan's hair quality isn't as good as Ning Yuhan's.

Ning Yuhan remained silent, her pretty face flushing even more.

Because pigtails were too embarrassing, Xu Lin would grab her pigtails from behind and make her lie down...

After leaving the city library, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan had a meal at a Sichuan restaurant.

The two returned to the duplex at 7 p.m.

Xu Lin didn't finish eating and start thinking about that, but instead continued to refine the script on his computer in the bedroom. He hadn't written down his ideas for today yet, but he had memorized them and was now back to improve and supplement them.

Ning Yuhan was looking at the thirty papers Xu Lin had helped her search for that day on her laptop next to Xu Lin. Fifteen of them were foreign language papers that needed to be translated. The computer translations sounded strange in some places, and Ning Yuhan really didn't understand them, so she asked Xu Lin how to translate them.

As for the foreign language section, it's all in English, which Xu Lin can understand.

This time, Ning Yuhan didn't stay on the first floor while Xu Lin was working, so Xu Lin let her sit next to him.

Around 10 p.m., Xu Lin successfully completed the script of more than 90,000 words, including the polishing and revision work.

How do we sell this script?

Xu Lin suddenly thought of an ultimate question.

First of all, this script is absolutely a good script, and only investors with strong financial backing can take on a good script. Only investors with strong financial backing have the resources to find a powerful team, such as a great director and actors.

So here's the question: how can Xu Lin let others know that his script is a good thing?

The first step is a problem.

Xu Lin pondered this for a few minutes, and then a brilliant idea struck him.

Xu Lin's initial idea was to find channels and investors, but this was quite troublesome. Currently, Xu Lin doesn't have connections with investors in the entertainment industry, so it would take a lot of time.

But now, Xu Lin thought of posting the script on the website where he writes his novel.

You can post anything on the website, as long as it's approved. As for copyright issues, as long as you don't sign a contract, the content is entirely yours.

And what would a web novel website do with your script?
Therefore, Xu Lin wanted to use the website to expose the script, create hype, and generate buzz and attention.

Just like the saying goes, if you blossom, butterflies will come.

Xu Lin didn't hesitate either, he condensed the 90,000-word script into nine chapters and posted it on a novel website.

Author: Mr. Xu.

It's still the same author's account.

Book title: The Great Jing Dynasty.

An incredibly simple name.

Synopsis: A fictional historical drama with political intrigue elements. Contact us if you are interested in collaborating.

After it's published, it still needs to be reviewed.

The system review usually takes half an hour to two hours. If there is no obscene, bloody, violent, or other violations, it will be approved directly.

But Xu Lin didn't want to wait that long, so he logged into QQ and contacted Ranzhi.

"Old Ran, I just posted a script, could you please help me get it approved?"

Ranzhi had set Xu Lin as a special contact, so he received Xu Lin's messages immediately.

"Holy crap? Mr. Xu has released a new book?"

"Wait, the script?"

Ranzhi asked with surprise and confusion, "A script? Why is Mr. Xu sending out scripts?"

He really didn't know the answer to this question.

Xu Lin: "I'm preparing to enter the film and television industry."

"Awesome! I bow down in reverence." (Image attached)

"Mr. Xu, I've approved your application!"

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, I'll step away for a moment. Let me take a look at your script!" (Sunglasses.jpg)

Xu Lin did not reply. Seeing that the script had been successfully released, he went to Xiaohongshu to post a new thread specifically about this matter, and also mentioned that if there was any interest in cooperation, they could contact him.

As for the novel, Xu Lin will not issue separate chapters to announce it. His target this time is big directors and investors, or those veteran actors and talented performers. It won't be of much use to ordinary readers, and Xu Lin doesn't expect ordinary readers to understand it.

As soon as Xu Lin issued the notice, a large number of people rushed in.

It's worth noting that Xu Lin now has over 15 million followers on Xiaohongshu, which is quite a large number. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry don't have his level of followers. Moreover, they have a lot of fake followers. For example, when Brother Qian got into trouble, he still had 50 million followers, claiming to be able to conquer North Russia and save Brother Qian. But how could he possibly have 50 million real followers?
Xu Lin's fans are very active, and their numbers are much higher than those of Brother Qian's 50 million fans.

"Holy crap, Mr. Xu wrote the script?"

"I'll go check what's going on!"

"Alternate historical power struggles? Mr. Xu can write history?"

Many people quickly came to the novel platform to check the situation.

Actually, Xu Lin's script is not boring at all; on the contrary, it is quite interesting to read from the beginning.

The first act, or the first episode, begins with the Third Prince, a natural-born sage. Xu Lin's writing is superb; he can explain things clearly in just a few words, conveying profound truths in a simple yet captivating way. His words exude a powerful attraction, drawing everyone in from the very first page, and they become increasingly engrossed as they read on. Their emotions rise and fall with the story's development, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, heartbreak, or utter admiration...

Ultimately, there was only helplessness and a sense of loss.

Unlike other dramas, which always have a happy ending, Xu Lin's script does not have a happy ending. This is because Xu Lin writes about human nature and the cyclical nature of history. Therefore, even the naturally wise and virtuous third prince is powerless to turn the tide. Although Xu Lin did not write that the Jing Dynasty would perish, the tone set in the beginning made the reader know that this country was destined to perish.

As a result, Xu Lin's script became a trending topic in less than an hour.

Xu Lin hadn't noticed this yet.

She sent a message about half an hour later.

"Mr. Xu, this script is too good to be true!"

"How to say?"

"Over 90,000 words, 63 main characters, each one vividly portrayed and leaping off the page! Moreover, three main storylines and 37 subplots, intricately interwoven and tightly linked, ultimately converging and exploding together. Just these two points alone surpass the flattery of those online novel masters! And I never expected Mr. Xu to be so terrifying when it comes to writing history!"

Ranzhi: "I feel that if this script were made into a TV series, it would definitely be a huge hit!"

"But the script hasn't been sold yet, has it?"

Is Mr. Xu really going to enter the film and television industry?

"I'm not kidding."

"Prostrating in worship.jpg×3 Practicing full prostration.jpg×3"

"Mr. Xu, you're trending on Weibo again!"
