17: Chapter 17 Little Blackie Gets Scolded Again

Lin Chuyan was a bit surprised: "So fast?"

Director Zhang Qian laughed while smoking: "Never filmed a web movie before? It's like this now. Shooting, editing, and post-production are all very simple. If you're fast, it's done in a month. The troublesome part is actually getting the internet license and the platform's rating and pricing."

Video platforms rate web movies based on content quality, genre, cast, etc., dividing them into S/A/B/C levels, with different rates for each level.

"So, what is the rating for seven days of pursuit?"

"S-level, the highest. Pay-per-view price is 6 yuan. Speaking of which, you deserve a lot of credit for securing the S-level rating."

Director Zhang Qian hadn't forgotten Lin Chuyan's stunning performance back then. His performance had stirred up Qiao Wei's competitive spirit, and the final result was exceptionally good. The platform recognized quality, so they directly set it at S-level.

To tell the truth, Director Zhang Qian really appreciated talent.

He couldn't understand why someone of Lin Chuyan's level had no roles to play. There were plenty of people in the entertainment industry with worse Acting than him.

He couldn't figure it out, absolutely couldn't, so he could only blame it on that Spring Festival Movie Season film from back then. The failure in both reputation and box office had too much of an impact on his career.

And he cursed Jinghua Entertainment again in his heart for misleading people.

Lin Chuyan didn't think too much about it. He offered his congratulations and didn't dare to take the credit: "It's all thanks to you, Director. I read the whole script later. Good is good; it would be the same whoever played it."

This wasn't flattery either. Lin Chuyan truly felt that Director Zhang Qian was very capable, definitely not just at the level of filming web movies.

Director Zhang Qian didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder, meaningfully: "Xiao Yan, trees die if they are moved, but people thrive when they move. Sometimes, you have to change when it's time, like your manager... Anyway, with your strength, you will get better sooner or later."

"???"

Far away, Wu Yue suddenly sneezed.

After saying goodbye to Director Zhang Qian, the first thing Lin Chuyan did was post on Weibo:

"I'm telling everyone some good news: my new movie will be on the platform in a month. I played a somewhat complex character in it. Everyone is welcome to come and watch it then."

Director Zhang Qian had told him to promote it as much as he wanted. He wasn't afraid of people cursing; he was only afraid of having no buzz. If he just put it on the platform without any waves, it wouldn't make a splash.

Soon, the Haters rushed over.

"Redefining 'good news'."

"It's just a web movie, why pretend it's a film?"

"Yanzi, take a piece of advice from your brother: you can't handle complex characters."

"Good news? Movie? Complex character? How did you manage to fit so many points of criticism into one sentence?"

A familiar ID visited again, Mosquito Hits Cannon: "I can't believe a director still dares to use Lin Chuyan. Is his brain broken? Is the money for web movies not money? Could it be money laundering?"

Lin Chuyan was just worrying about who to roast, and someone walked right into the line of fire.

It's you!

"You didn't learn your lesson after getting scolded by Lin Mo, did you? Wasn't it enough to be scolded by him? You came over here to find a scolding? You say it's good before even listening to the song, and you say it's bad before even watching the movie. You tucked your head and didn't dare to talk back when Lin Mo scolded you. Come, come, you have to talk back a few times when scolded by a little idol like me."

The trolls were happy to watch the show.

"Laughing to death, Lin Chuyan ate gunpowder again."

"Haters, don't mess with my Brother Lin. My Brother Lin is a small transparent in the entertainment industry, focusing on breaking the pot to smash it. Unlike other artists who spoil you, at worst, he'll just quit the entertainment industry. Btw, when is Brother Lin going to quit?"

"I really like Lin Chuyan. If he keeps doing this, I'm going to become a fan."

Zhuang Xiaowen held his phone, trembling.

It was wrong to reply, and it was wrong not to reply. Besides being angry, he was a bit confused.

Lin Mo, Lin Chuyan. Right, that unreasonable teacher at school is also surnamed Lin.

Am I naturally incompatible with people surnamed Lin?

Lin Chuyan waited for a long time without seeing a reply. While feeling unsatisfied, he also felt deeply lonely, so he could only close Weibo and go read a book.

A month passed quickly.

The traffic dynamic value was settled for 4 rounds. Lin Chuyan chose 2 points for special skills and 4 points for basic attributes.

This month, Lin Chuyan's life was very full.

He had almost finished reading "Passionate Dream" given by Li Mujian. He took the questions accumulated during the reading process to the teacher's house a few times to ask for advice in person, took notes, and combined with Li Mujian's many years of Acting experience, which was taught in a simple and easy-to-understand one-on-one practical way, he finally managed to digest the book.

Then he discovered that the Acting column in the basic attributes had increased by a full 5 points without adding any points! Plus the 2 points that increased in the Lines column, what kind of concept was this?

With his current traffic, he would have to be scolded by the Haters for more than half a month...

As long as he learned, he could see progress, and visible progress, in turn, promoted his motivation to study hard. This feeling was really too great.

He hadn't fallen behind on the vocal music course borrowed from Ruan Xingyu either, but the progress was relatively slow. After a month, it only increased by 2 points.

Fortunately, he could still add points to the Singing Ability column in the basic attributes. Adding 5 points also indirectly made up for the problem of not having a teacher to teach him personally.

Besides this, he also had to take time every day to practice Five-Step Fist. This could be said to be the thing he was most interested in at the moment.

Ever since he unlocked this skill last time, he started looking for videos on the internet to practice. He had only practiced that set of Five-Step Fist a few times when he was in school in his previous life, and he had long forgotten it.

The Five-Step Fist here on Blue Star was much the same, and the recognized mainstream one was just this set, so Lin Chuyan practiced it every day.

He added 5 points to this.

The effect of adding points was also very obvious. The biggest effect was that he had an extra layer of understanding of the skill, and he got started faster, which was much better than fumbling around slowly by himself.

After a month, he hadn't practiced anything concrete, but he just felt that his body was inexplicably "lighter".

Looking at the virtual panel, the Five-Step Fist column had increased by 3 points.

The phone suddenly vibrated, and Ruan Xingyu sent a message.

"What are you doing?"

Ever since Lin Chuyan decided that the other party was a lesbian, he became more and more natural when chatting.

And this mentality in turn made Ruan Xingyu feel no pressure during the chat, and every time they chatted, it was very happy.

The two of them had been chatting every day recently, although they hadn't met, they could already be considered quite familiar.

This could also be considered the status quo of contemporary netizens.

"Waiting to watch a movie."

"What movie?"

"Well, actually, I'm waiting at home to watch a web movie that will be released in a while."

"Never watched a web movie."

Lin Chuyan continued to confess: "I haven't been in contact with it before either. This time it's because I appeared in it. Um, thinking about it, I'm still a bit excited."

Xingxing: "!!!!"

Xingxing: "Brother, you are for real."

Although you said you are a lesbian, you can't commit crimes like this, right?

Lin Chuyan felt a little warm in his heart because of her calling him 'brother'. Ever since he accidentally found out he was single during their last chat, Ruan Xingyu had been a bit uninhibited when chatting.

"I've never lied to you."

Compared to when he first arrived in this world, Lin Chuyan was much more confident now.

Maybe it was because he participated in a play completely, maybe it was because he became Li Mujian's apprentice, or maybe it was because of the continuous learning and progress under the system's blessing this month.

Lin Chuyan's idea now was very simple.

Ruan Xingyu is a friend.

He didn't want to lie to her on purpose.

Besides, there was nothing shameful about it.

As for the box office poison, entertainment industry fool? The Haters could flip through the old accounts from a few years ago. Anyway, now he was Li Mujian's apprentice Lin Chuyan and Songwriting person Lin Mo.

The good show was yet to come.
