197: Chapter 197 Masterful Skill

...

The director of "a little red flower", Ma Wenbo, specifically added Lin Chuyan on WeChat through Wu Yue.

Lin Chuyan naturally accepted without a second thought.

One was a rookie director with a movie currently in theaters; judging by the box office results from the past two days, it seemed like a hit.

The other was a formerly washed-up idol who, although popular again, was still gradually adapting to his status as a top-tier celebrity, and currently feeling good about it.

Both of them felt a bit flattered at that moment.

"Damn, I actually added him? Lin Chuyan accepted me right away."

"Damn, a director actually wants to add me on WeChat?"

Ma Wenbo didn't actually have anything specific to discuss; he just wanted to express his gratitude.

He was grateful for the full-house screening and for the song's contribution to the film.

Lin Chuyan: "Director Ma, I should be the one thanking you. Many programs have been asking me for cover rights to this song recently, and the movie deserves credit for that too."

In reality, people had been asking for cover rights before the album was even released, but he hadn't agreed to them at the time. However, since Director Ma was being so polite, he didn't mind playing along.

Ma Wenbo naturally understood this; Lin Chuyan's willingness to say that was, of course, giving him face.

Thus, they began to chat even more comfortably.

The fact that "I am useful to you" makes me more willing to get close to you.

By the end of the conversation, Ma Wenbo expressed his hope for a chance to work with Lin Chuyan if he had a new movie in the future.

Lin Chuyan indicated that as long as he had the schedule and the script was suitable, it would definitely be no problem.

Only then did both parties end their friendly exchange.

...

Sitting idle for a moment, Lin Chuyan washed his hands and prepared to open his treasure chests.

This month, he had three gold and two silver ones.

Three gold treasure chests—one was because he had a shoe thrown at him by a Hater named "Nine-Leaf Sword Grass" at a music festival. He heard that the person had even deleted their account; he didn't know what their ID was changed to now... Lin Chuyan always felt someone was watching him from behind the scenes.

Yes, besides Brother Mosquito, there was one more person watching him.

But Brother Mosquito was just all talk, whereas this person was a man of action... Honestly, it was a bit scary.

However, there was no point in dwelling on such things; there was no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Another gold treasure chest was for the Huayin Awards. Lin Chuyan himself didn't care, but the fans did, and with the whole Golden Melody Awards situation, the volume of discussion was massive.

The last one was the "Best Newcomer Award" from the Huayin Brilliant Awards, which was the achievement reward for the long-term quest "Singer's Path".

The silver treasure chests still only opened up some points, so Lin Chuyan opened the first gold treasure chest directly.

Very good, David Tao again, hehe.

"twenty-two" is one of Lin Chuyan's favorite songs. 22 is just the age when college students graduate. He had once been confused too, but a lyric in this song gave him a lot of strength.

"Life occasionally takes a wrong turn, like a map with no indicators."

"Don't let them tell you to be content; only you know what your happiness is."

Yes, we followed the routine and studied for many years, but at 22, we discover that life begins to take a wrong turn. And in the future, we will take wrong turns from time to time. Even we don't know what the future holds, just like a map with no indicators.

But, please remember: Don't let them tell you to be content; only you know what your happiness is.

The other song, "the brightest star in the night sky", is by Escape Plan.

Hmm, this one is much more popular than "twenty-two"...

Feels like I can just retire comfortably now.

And the lyrics are very suitable for himself... expressing love for his girlfriend.

"Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the dark night."

"the brightest star in the night sky, please guide me to approach you."

Tsk tsk, invincible!

Lin Chuyan continued to open the next treasure chest.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete Songwriting for "Millennium Love"]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete Songwriting for "Lydia"]

Good, good, good, two more blockbuster hits.

Both are by F.I.R.

Hmm, give them both to his girlfriend, it's just right.

Speaking of which, if things keep going like this, maybe Xingxing's new album will come out?

Very good, Brother System, please intensify your efforts.

However, if you put the chorus lyrics of the two songs together, the difference is quite large.

"Millennium Love": "The sorrow of crossing a millennium, it is you waiting for me at the end. The most beautiful touch is worth waiting a lifetime for."

"Lydia": "He left but couldn't take your heaven away; after it dries, rainbow tears will remain. He left, but you can keep the dream; there will always be a place waiting for love to fly."

One is about a love that lasts a millennium until death, the other says even if he leaves, you must keep going.

Continue opening the "Singer's Path" achievement treasure chest!

Not bad, one step closer to creating a Cantonese album.

A rare little love song by George Lam; that voice sounds exceptionally flavorful when singing it.

The lyrics are also very interesting: "I wish I could drive a rocket, take you to the sky, and we two would live in space."

Just, the contrast is very strong; it feels like the old man's childlike innocence is hidden within.

He inexplicably feels that this song is not easy to sing; he thinks he can still practice his Singing Ability well. Anyway, he is not in a rush for the Cantonese album yet, and he still needs time to save up songs.

Lin Chuyan first opened his computer and registered the copyrights for the five songs.

Next, he prepared to start adding points...

His day-to-day main jobs, like acting and playing music, could still be improved with hard work; for the others, if he didn't use points, he really couldn't manage.

The most extreme thing was that there was a Firearms Proficiency skill; what was that for?

However, this time the main goal was to add points to "Driving Skill" to prepare for filming "a moment of romance".

After reading the script, he knew that the male lead was a street racer, and his Driving Skill for various vehicles was very good.

Although the director said a stunt double could be used, there was no need; this ready-made skill was sitting right there, it would be a waste not to use it.

Moreover, stunt doubles could be spotted, so it was better to do it himself; strive for perfection!

But the problem arose, how many points should he add to "Driving Skill"? He had added it to 20 when filming the MV for "the ordinary road", so now... let's add another 30, that should be enough.

After adding.

Hmm, didn't feel anything. Probably need to find a car to try it out.

He still had 157 Specialized Skill points left. Lin Chuyan looked at his 200 points in "Eye Acting" and decided to continue adding points there.

No hesitation, add another 100 points!

The result was that his points became 250.

Damn, my 100 points only increased by 50?

Where is the System? System, come out here!

The system was quiet.

Brother System, sorry, I was a bit loud just now, may I ask what is going on?

The system prompt sounded at the right time.

[Detected that this Specialized Skill has reached the level of Mastery, the host needs to consume 2 points to increase 1 point of Specialized Skill.]

That's so classic!

Starting to suppress the protagonist, are we?

Lin Chuyan was unconvinced, but he couldn't do anything about it; after all, Brother System called the shots here.

Brother System: I'm doing this for your own good. There's no way around it; if I don't do this, I'm afraid you'll collapse later.
