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

Chapter 198: Writing songs for celebrities, four thousand yuan per word!

When Xu Lin arrived at his destination, he saw Chi Linyue standing not far away playing on her phone.

Xu Lin wondered if it was because they hadn't seen each other for a month, but Chi Linyue looked even more beautiful than before.

In fact, Chi Linyue's outfit today was quite simple. Her hair was down as usual. The weather was warm today, so she wore a long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and a small jacket. Her shoes were also unremarkable sneakers.

However, Chi Linyue's products are all brand names, some of which are quite niche, and people who don't know them might not recognize them.

"Your hair has grown."

When Chi Linyue saw Xu Lin, she put away her phone and walked over immediately. As she got into the car, she casually touched Xu Lin's hair.

"Let's have some food first, and then I'll get a haircut."

Xu Lin also looked in the mirror on the electric scooter and found that his hair had indeed grown longer.

His hair seems to grow faster than average now; it grows in one month what others take two months to grow.

"What do you want to eat?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Japanese food?"

“Japanese food is also ok.”

We had Japanese food for dinner, which was alright, but not to Xu Lin's liking.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Lin and his companions went to a hair salon.

Xu Lin got a short, choppy haircut, which made him look much more refreshed.

"Shorter hair looks better!"

Chi Linyue touched Xu Lin's hair.

"Yeah, I feel pretty good."

Xu Lin looked in the mirror and examined his hair.

"Want to go shopping again?" Xu Lin asked her.

"Going home, what's the point of shopping?"

About half an hour later, Xu Lin and the others returned to Chi Linyue's side.

Xu Lin took out the notebook he had borrowed from her from the storage compartment of the electric scooter and returned it to Chi Linyue.

Back home, Chi Linyue went to her room to change clothes as usual.

She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of ordinary white loose-fitting sweatpants, but Chi Linyue's figure was so good that even this very ordinary outfit was very alluring.

Xu Lin's mind was racing.

When Chi Linyue came over, Xu Lin couldn't help but pull her into his arms.

"what?"

"Just doing something enjoyable!"

Xu Lin plopped down on the sofa behind him, put his arms around Chi Linyue from behind, and kissed her from behind as well.

At the same time, Xu Lin's right hand was also restless, moving from top to bottom until it touched that area.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

"Your period's started?"

"Yes, do you want to continue?" Chi Linyue couldn't help but laugh.

"That's such a shame."

Xu Lin felt utterly bored, realizing that even the pleasure of friction was gone.

Chi Linyue said, "Actually, a girl's relatives are very dirty."

"I know."

Xu Lin: "Let's continue kissing. We haven't seen each other for so long, we need to make up for it."

"Let me turn around."

As she spoke, Chi Linyue turned around and sat on Xu Lin's lap, her hands naturally hooking around Xu Lin's neck, just like a female demon on TV.

Beautiful women are all enchantresses, or at least they have the foundation to become one. They are born with the skills to seduce men, and these skills become more and more pronounced as they age, especially after their twenties when hormones exert a stronger influence on them. This is why women in their thirties are like wolves and in their forties like tigers.

Of course, if a woman isn't interested in you, she'll act very serious.

Chi Linyue is about to turn twenty-six. She is currently a top-tier mature woman and is about to enter the ranks of young mature women. She is a deadly enchantress.

Why are you being so proactive this time?

Don't you want me to take the initiative?

Chi Linyue pressed Xu Lin's nose tip with her index finger.

"No, keep taking the initiative."

Xu Lin smiled and continued kissing her, his hands moving around again.

The kiss lasted for more than ten minutes.

However, this is not the official end yet.

Because then, Chi Linyue got off Xu Lin and knelt down in front of him, pulling down his pants...

"I'll grant your wish!"

Chi Linyue raised her head slightly, her eyes alluring, and gave the other person a slight glare.

Xu Lin couldn't describe the feeling. Sometimes, there really is a moment when a person's expression or action makes them look better.

That's how Chi Linyue is right now.

"Ancient emperors would probably be out of their minds if they saw you, and if they got you, they'd probably need to take elixirs of immortality every day!"

Xu Lin placed his hands behind his head as a pillow, comfortably spread his legs, and sat there looking at Chi Linyue.

"Ah!"

"So you're lucky now!"

Chi Linyue responded, and Xu Lin smiled without saying a word, simply enjoying the moment.

It happened very quickly, in about an hour.

Chi Linyue rushed into the toilet.

"Xu Lin, have you been holding it in for a long time?" Chi Linyue's voice came from the bathroom.

"no."

Xu Lin's expression was strange.

"Don't hold it in for so long next time!"

Chi Linyue scolded playfully, "It's bad for your health!"

Xu Lin thought to himself, "I really didn't hold it in."

……

Around 11 p.m., Xu Lin and the others took a shower.

It's almost bedtime again.

Do I have to go to work tomorrow?

"No work on Sunday, I'll stay home tomorrow."

Chi Linyue was drying her hair at the dressing table.

"Oh."

When do you start school?

"We'll have roll call tomorrow night, and school officially starts the day after tomorrow."

"Then let's go to the second semester of freshman year."

Chi Linyue smiled and said, "Time flies."

"Yeah, it's pretty fast."

Xu Lin thought about it and realized that a semester in college seemed to go by faster than in high school. He figured it was probably because high school was too tough. In the senior year, there were frequent big and small exams, and classes were all about reviewing and going over test papers, which was tedious and boring, hence the torment.

But university is a completely different scene.

However, for someone as studious as Ning Yuhan, the difference between university and high school might not be that significant.

Top universities are filled with top students from high schools, many of whom worked very hard during their high school years.

"By the way, wasn't it said that the TV series adapted from that novel was going to start filming in March?"

Chi Linyue suddenly thought of this matter.

"Yes, let's wait for the news. I guess there will be a launch ceremony later."

"Are you going then?"

"I'll write the script, you can have it."

"Oh."

"What about the other TV series? The historical one?"

"There's no news yet, but it should be soon."

"Wow, that's amazing! They make a living with their talent!"

Chi Linyue continued to happily blow-dry her hair. She was quite proud of Xu Lin's success and growing career.

Women are creatures that admire strength. As long as a man has a strong enough core, he will never lack the heartfelt favor and admiration of women.

A dozen minutes later, Chi Linyue finally dried her hair.

The moment she sat on the bed, Xu Lin pulled her over.

"Stop being naughty, it's time to sleep!"

Chi Linyue thought Xu Lin was up to something bad again.

"I just want to hold you while I sleep, nothing else."

"Then don't move your hands!"

"Don't worry, I'll just hold you while I sleep."

The two lay down, and Xu Lin hugged the other from behind, keeping his hands still and behaving himself.

"You smell so good."

Xu Lin buried his nose in the other person's neck and greedily took a few breaths.

At that time, Chi Linyue's scent was a mixture of her natural body fragrance, the scent of shower gel and shampoo, and the three scents blended together without being pungent; it smelled quite pleasant.

"I was about to say something to you, how come a guy like you smells so good?"

"I'm a bit special."

“You’re really special, my brother. You have no idea how smelly his sweat is, especially since he used to love sports. And I have a very sensitive nose. When he comes home sweating, I can smell the sweat odor from two meters away.”

"That means you've gotten used to my scent; it's a genetic selection."

"What kind of genetic selection?"

"It means that if you like a man, you will like everything about him. This is a genetic explanation. If you don't like a man, your genes will naturally reject him."

"I know, I'm just saying, you little rascal, you're never serious!"

The two chatted about these trivial topics until they both fell asleep one after the other.

The two of them did not go out the next morning.

Chi Linyue ordered food from a hotel and had it delivered.

It's quite troublesome for her to pick up takeout here.

The delivery driver arrived at the entrance of the residential area but couldn't get in. The delivery driver had to ask the property management to bring the food up. However, even after the property management arrived outside the elevator, they still needed Chi Linyue's permission through the electronic peephole before they could come up.

Fortunately, the hotel's insulated containers worked, otherwise the food would have gotten cold.

After eating and drinking enough.

Neither of them had eaten enough to think about anything else.

Chi Linyue rested for more than ten minutes before changing into her yoga outfit.

"Are you getting ready to practice yoga?" Xu Lin asked curiously.

"Yes, yoga!"

Chi Linyue tied her hair into a high ponytail, revealing her beautiful swan neck and delicate collarbone, her body outlining an exquisite curve at this moment.

What a beautiful woman she is!
"Is this for body shaping or weight loss?"

Shortly after Chi Linyue entered the yoga room.

Before long, Xu Lin also came in, and saw Chi Linyue doing a split.

During the meal just now, Chi Linyue ate a light and bland meal, a typical diet, while Xu Lin ate a heavy and flavorful meal without any restraint.

"All!"

How much do you weigh now?

"Don't ask!"

"You can't ask a woman's weight and age, right?" Xu Lin laughed.

"Anyway, don't ask."

As Chi Linyue spoke, she leaned down, resting her upper body on her right leg, while her left leg was behind her because she was doing a split.

At the same time, Xu Lin walked over to the height and weight measuring machine, which happened to be located in Chi Linyue's yoga room.

Xu Lin took off his slippers, stood on the platform, and his weight data was quickly displayed.

Weight: 88.6 kg.

What about his height?
Xu Lin pressed down on his hair. Even though he had cut his hair last night, he actually had so much hair that it was about three centimeters high when it was pulled up.

Therefore, the final height data is:
188.6 cm.

"Have I grown taller again?"

Xu Lin had heard that a person's height is a little taller when they wake up in the morning than usual.

It's already past 10 o'clock, and more than two hours have passed since I got up. I don't know if I've really grown taller. "With my hair and shoes on, I'm already over 1.9 meters tall."

This height is naturally outstanding; he would be considered tall anywhere on Earth. Coupled with his amazing modeling, Xu Linxie's physical attributes are simply unmatched.

However, Xu Lin still felt that around 1.86 meters tall was enough.

"How tall is it?"

Chi Linyue looked over. "Oh, 188.4?"

Is it tall or short?

"It's quite tall!"

"What about you?"

"I don't remember, let me measure it."

Chi Linyue got up and went over to measure barefoot.

Height: 176.3cm.

"So the height difference between us is 12 centimeters, which is the so-called golden height difference?"

"right."

Chi Linyue nodded and gestured with her hand.

Xu Lin then looked at the weighing scale at Chi Linyue's feet.

"I thought to myself, I only weigh 105 pounds, why would I need to lose weight?"

"Don't worry!"

Chi Linyue's expression changed. She hadn't expected her weight to be discovered, and realized she had been careless!
She quickly got off the scale.

"Sis, you look great in yoga pants."

Xu Lin's left hand landed on the other person's large round moon. The yoga pants were already very tight, so Chi Lin Yue's figure was on full display at this moment. Moreover, given her good figure, the yoga pants looked great on her.

After all, many women don't look good in yoga pants. On the one hand, they have an unattractive hip shape and average legs, and on the other hand, they have a protruding lower abdomen. These are all flaws, and yoga pants will make these flaws very obvious.

As for the female fitness bloggers online, it's hard to say how many of their beautiful buttocks are genuine. Now there are clothes that, once you put them on, can give you a beautiful and three-dimensional butt, and the same goes for breasts, which also have padding.

Chi Linyue naturally didn't need to consider this issue.

"Don't make trouble!"

"I'll just touch it; I have some things to do later."

"Then hurry up."

Xu Lin touched it for a while, still not satisfied.

"I'll get busy first."

"Hurry up, you're always causing trouble here."

"Roger that!"

Xu Lin then left the yoga room and returned to Chi Linyue's room, where he turned on his desktop computer.

With the start of the new semester, Xu Lin will also be starting work.

Starting this semester, his focus will shift to the entertainment industry.

One is in film and television, and the other is in music.

Xu Lin logged into his work account.

He hadn't logged into his work account for several days, so he received a lot of unread messages.

Xu Lin glanced at the messages and surprisingly found news about G.E.M. and Xue Zhiqian. Both of their messages came the day before yesterday, at the same time, perhaps they had arranged to come together.

Xu Lin clicked on it and saw that it was a message from them asking him to write a song.

Xu Lin was quite surprised by this. Before the Lunar New Year, he thought they were just being polite and joking, but he didn't expect them to be serious.

Xu Lin gave a unified reply:

"Just launched, sorry."

Do you want it customized to your style?

After sending the message, Xu Lin didn't expect these big stars to reply immediately, so he opened the disciple class group instead.

Xu Lin:

"New year, new look, everyone is getting ready to get back to work."

"I'll take a look. I'll release a new song for everyone in the next couple of days. We'll just follow the same procedure as before: practice it, and then release the new song."

Yun Hehe: "Received!"

Yun Hehe: "Master, it's been a long time!"

Xu Lin joined the group once the day before New Year's Eve, and hasn't opened it since.

Xu Lin: "Long time no see."

Several more apprentices greeted him from behind.

Yun Hehe then posted a screenshot of her QQ Music earnings.

This is her income for the past two weeks, considering that her song was only released half a month ago.

However, even if it's only for half a month, the income is still very high.

535867.63 yuan.

Yun Hehe: "Master, this is half a month's income!"

"It's gotten this high in just half a month?"

If Xu Lin hadn't been used to a high income, he definitely wouldn't have been able to remain calm.

Xie Ting came out and said, "Master, the main sources of income for QQ Music are revenue sharing from play counts, download counts, advertising revenue sharing, and fan donations. There are also two other sources: revenue sharing from paid membership packages and copyright licensing revenue, but we don't have those two yet. So it's the first four sources. Right now, our songs are all very popular, so the overall revenue sharing from the platform is also high."

Then, Tse Ting also took a screenshot of the detailed profit-sharing agreement.

Xu Lin glanced at it and understood what was going on.

"Master, this is mine!"

Nicholas Tse also posted a screenshot of his back-end earnings.

Nicholas Tse has several songs that generate even higher income, reaching over 3.3 million this month, several times higher than Yun Hehe's.

Xu Lin: "Awesome!"

What about the rest?

The other four people are in roughly the same income range as Yun Hehe.

For example, Li Xiaoxiao earned more than 56 yuan.

Jiang Chengzi earned the most besides Xie Ting, with an income of over 67.

As for their income, Xu Lin would take a portion of the platform's revenue share, and a contract had been signed beforehand.

Their subsequent revenue mainly comes from two sources: platform revenue and revenue from their concerts.

The income that one or two people bring to Xu Lin will naturally not be much, but if there are more people, the total income for Xu Lin will be staggering.

Xu Lin is still in the initial stage.

Xu Lin: "I've taken a look, and everyone is doing quite well. I'll be giving everyone a new song in a couple of days and starting a new job."

Nicholas Tse: "Received!"

Then another batch arrived in quick succession.

Xu Lin didn't stay in the group for long before leaving the smaller group. By then, G.E.M. had already replied, but Xue Zhiqian hadn't.

G.E.M.: "Mr. Xu, I'd like you to create a song based on my style!"

Xu Lin: "Okay, you can tell me your specific requirements."

For the next half hour, Xu Lin talked with the other party about the style and theme of the song.

It's actually a love song, but as long as it's a song, it will definitely have various characteristics. Furthermore, it needs to be tailored to match the other person's voice style, so it's not a simple job.

"Mr. Xu, these are my specific requirements. How about the price?"

"The price is negotiable, but I have one more request: I want 20% of the revenue generated from the songs I write. What do you think, Ms. Deng?"

"That's no problem!"

Actually, 20% is not much.

So G.E.M. said again, "Two percent is still a bit too much for Mr. Xu's talent. How about you take forty percent?"

"Miss Deng is so straightforward!"

Unexpectedly, the other party offered 40%.

Inspired by G.E.M., Xu Lin decided that in the future, when he wrote songs for celebrities, in addition to the basic fee, he would take 40% of the subsequent revenue.

"By the way, Ms. Deng, if you were to perform this song of mine at your concert, how about one million per concert?"

"No problem at all, I think it's fine."

The other party thought to themselves, "One million isn't much."

Top-tier singers can earn tens of millions from a single concert, which is quite outrageous.

G.E.M.: "Mr. Xu, is there anything else? How much per word would you charge for writing this song?"

Ok?
How much per word?

From writing online novels to composing songs, this was the first time Xu Lin had ever seen such words.

How much per word?!
He did not answer immediately.

His mind raced, and he decided to look up how much famous composers in the entertainment industry charge.

So he asked his AI program, Xiao Xu, to check it out.

Answer: The price charged by famous lyricists for songwriting is not fixed. For example, there is a saying that Vincent Fang charges 8000 yuan per word.

Eight thousand per word?

Xu Lin raised an eyebrow, looking surprised.

A song can have anywhere from four or five hundred words to two or three hundred words, which is why a song can have several million views.

Moreover, Vincent Fang wrote the lyrics, but he didn't compose the music.

Xu Lin is different; he's the one who composes the music.

"No, I need to think about this carefully. If I become famous through G.E.M., many other singers might ask me to write songs for them..."

Xu Lin thought for a few minutes.

His fame isn't that great yet, at least not as great as Vincent Fang's, so he can't just start by charging 8,000 yuan per word, can he?
So Xu Lin decided to charge four thousand yuan per word.

Xu Lin: "I charge 4000 yuan per word. I estimate I'll write about 300 words for this song. If it's less, I'll refund you; if it's more, I'll give it to you for free. How about it?"

G.E.M.: "I think it's okay!"

"Miss Deng, don't you think it's expensive?"

"Doesn't Mr. Xu's talent justify this price?"

"Miss Deng is truly magnanimous!"

This celebrity is really rich.

Assuming Xu Lin's song has 300 words and he charges 4000 yuan per word, a song would cost him 1.2 million yuan.

And this is just the beginning; he can raise the price later, so the future looks promising.

"Ms. Deng, I expect to write the song for you within a week."

Xu Lin: "I'll draft a contract first. Miss Deng, you can go about your business now."

"Ok."

After finishing his chat with G.E.M., Xu Lin called out his classmate, Xiao Xu.

Instruction: Help me draft a celebrity collaboration contract. The key clauses are as follows...

Xu Lin only needs to give a brief explanation, and the AI ​​assistant will take care of everything else for him. There's no need to trouble Ms. Ren anymore.

So a few minutes later, the contract Xu Lin requested was ready.

He took a closer look and found that the contract was clearly well-done, except that Xu Lin had made some minor modifications. Finally, he sent the contract to G.E.M.

"Ms. Deng, please take a look at the contract."

G.E.M. was still online and immediately received the file.

Twenty minutes later, G.E.M. finished reading the contract.

"How do we sign a contract with Mr. Xu?"

"You can sign it online."

Xu Lin sent the website link to the other party. This was his dedicated website, where he handled things like signing electronic contracts. The website could also do many other things.

In short, Xu Lin is a person who prefers simplicity in everything. He simplifies processes whenever possible, saves time whenever possible, and avoids unnecessary talk.

So the contract with G.E.M. was finalized very quickly.

What about Xue Zhiqian?

Is that also true?

He sent a message ten minutes ago saying that after Xu Lin finalized the contract, he started talking to Xue Zhiqian about songwriting.

Lao Xue also wanted to commission a love song in his own style.

Because of G.E.M.'s previous experience, Xu Lin only spent half an hour discussing the specific requirements of the song with the other party. The subsequent discussions on price, profit sharing, and contract signing were all quickly resolved, and the other party readily agreed.

Xue Zhiqian's songs also have 300 words. If the number of words is less, Xu Lin will refund the money; if it is more, he will give it to you for free.

However, Xu Lin planned to write more than three hundred words.

After all, the two were his first wave of celebrity clients, which was essentially a perk from Xu Lin.

"Two songs, one for 1.2 million, two songs, 2.4 million in hand!"

Xu Lin stretched and was in a good mood.

What about Chi Linyue?

More than an hour later, it turned out they were still practicing yoga.

(End of this chapter)
