All-rounder Artist-Chapter 328: 307 Third Script_1
Chapter 328 -307 Third Script_1
The new effect of Teacher’s Halo satisfied Lin Yuan very much because he can now teach his students more efficiently.
Feng Shuo and Xue Liang had already graduated and were up to the standard of gold-level composers.
Even though Lin Yuan has the Teacher’s Halo, if he continued teaching them, their improvement would be limited.
However, with the upgrade of the Teacher’s Halo, there seemed to be more room for improvement if these two continued taking classes from Lin Yuan!
It was good and powerful.
In the following days, Lin Yuan continued to strictly teach Li Lizhi.
The class usually lasted an hour and a half.
He used the remaining half-hour to guide the compositions of Xue Liang and Feng Shuo, as their songs were meant to be sung by Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui.
On another note.
Jin Mu, as Chu Kuang’s agent, once again requested an increase in royalties for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd from Silver Blue Books due to its success.
After negotiations, a new royalty share was agreed upon, and Chu Kuang’s royalties will be set at thirty-five percent!
Jin Mu had conducted special research.
The royalties of the top authors in the publishing industry are basically around thirty percent. Chu Kuang getting thirty-five percent is due to his versatility!
The other top authors generally only specialize in one genre.
But Chu Kuang was different, the genres of his novels covered a wide range, and he even started dabbling in mystery recently and achieved some success. Under such circumstances, Silver Blue Books had no reason not to provide Chu Kuang with a better contract.
“It will be hard to increase it in the future…”
Jin Mu was clear. This contract was already very high.
Unless Chu Kuang made bigger breakthroughs, it would be difficult for the contract treatment to continue to improve.
“Unless the boss wins the election for the best fantasy novel.”
This was the most direct option Jin Mu could think of for Chu Kuang to up his contract.
But this required qualifications, time, and accumulated sales of works.
“No rush.”
Lin Yuan really wasn’t in a hurry. He now had many aliases and plenty of avenues for making money. As long as he took everything step by step, all would be well.
As Lin Yuan was taking things step by step, he received a piece of news.
The news was from Gu Dong: “Mr. Lin, the company has applied for the Dragon Award for the movie ‘The Tuner’, we just received news that the film has been nominated for three awards!”
“Dragon Award?”
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.
The biggest music award in Blue Star was the Music Ceremony, whereas the biggest film award was the Dragon Award.
Due to cultural isolation, each continent had its own Dragon Award in the past.
But now, at least, the Dragon Awards of the Qin, Qi, and Chu regimes have been unified.
Since Lin Yuan’s debut, he had received some awards for both his writer and composer careers, but none of them reached the highest tier.
So, he never took these things to heart.
But if it’s the Dragon Award, Lin Yuan held some anticipation, especially after the unification of the Qin, Qi, Chu regimes. This award had a much larger clout—
It could be said to be of Oscar-level influence on Earth!
Gu Dong was also very excited: “‘The Tuner’ has been nominated for Best Original Score, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay! With three nominations, we have a high probability of winning at least one.”
“Hmm.”
After all, it was the highest award in the film industry, Lin Yuan was also somewhat looking forward to it.
If it was in the past, Lin Yuan would definitely not take awards like these to heart.
But perhaps because he had made a lot of money now, Lin Yuan’s pursuit and attitude towards money was much better than before and he was no longer the host obsessed with money in the system’s eyes.
This could be seen from the fact that when Lin Yuan was customizing works and buying energy-related items, he became more straightforward.
After earning a certain amount of money, Lin Yuan thought, if he could win awards, it could also be seen as a recognition of his work.
In fact, the official award date was very close when the Dragon Award announced all the nominated works.
In terms of the timeline, “The Tuner” just caught the tail end of the award evaluation.
If it was any later, this movie would have to compete for the Dragon Award next year.
…
By the time it was April, the new season of competition began!
The difficulty of the season competition seemed to be lower than the previous two months.
In February of this year, Lin Yuan crushed the Chu people with “Mariage d’Amour”.
In March, Yang Zhongming educated the Chu people once again with the piano piece “Coloured Glaze”, accomplishing Starlight’s double kill!
Afterwards.
The Chu people completely gave up their covetous desire for the honor of Land of Music and ceased to compete!
Therefore.
The April season chart did not feature the chaotic battle of the King of Singing and Maestro.
This gave many gold-level composers a chance to shine.
As a result of this, Xian Yu once again attracted the industry’s attention!
Why did Xian Yu gain attention without releasing any new songs?
This has to start from the two composers in the top ten list.
For this season’s chart.
The song ranked fifth was “Sunset”, performed by Sun Yaohuo, composed by Carp!
The song ranked seventh was “Night Princess”, performed by Jiang Kui, composed by Stingray!
It was widely known that Carp was Xian Yu’s disciple.
But what the industry didn’t expect was that Xian Yu turned out to have another apprentice—
Stingray!
Stingray was naturally the name Feng Shuo chose for himself.
Unlike Xue Liang, Feng Shuo was already a somewhat famous composer.
At the time of song release, he used his Tribe’s platform to announce that he was Xian Yu’s second disciple, and that “Stingray” would be his composer’s artistic name.
This news initially didn’t garner much attention.
But as Feng Shuo and Xue Liang both entered the top ten of this month’s season chart, the industry was somewhat shocked.
Is Stingray also Xian Yu’s disciple?
So the works ranked fifth and seventh are both from Xian Yu’s disciples?
TWO of Xian Yu’s disciples made it into the season top ten!!?
Keep in mind, the season ranking is at the combined standards of the three continents!
Those who make it to the top ten are all powerhouses!
“Damn…”
“Xian Yu is terrifying!”
“Now his disciples are starting to fight for a place on the charts!”
“Two years ago, there were still quite a few gold ranked composers who could compete with Xian Yu, now those gold ranked composers can only compete with Xian Yu’s disciples…”
“Why is it fish again!”
“If Xian Yu also releases a song this month, won’t there be three fish in the top ten?”
“Carp and Stingray, both have gold level skills, yet turns out to be only Xian Yu’s disciples…”
“The real question is, does Xian Yu really have the ability to train gold ranked composers?”
“To become a gold ranked composer, it can’t be that easy to train right? These two songs wouldn’t have been composed by Xian Yu, right?”
“That’d be stretching it, Xian Yu can only give some guidance at most, if Xian Yu personally took it upon himself, it wouldn’t be any less than first or second.”
“…”
If Xian Yu were to do it, it would at least be first or second.
From the perspective of Xian Yu, Carp and Stingray’s season rankings are unremarkable.
But keep in mind, these two are only Xian Yu’s disciples!
It’s not only the outside world.
Many people within Starlight were startled as well.
Personal strength and the ability to train gold-class talents are two different things!
Even Maestro would not dare to say he could train disciples to break into the top ten of the season!
Yet Xian Yu has done it!
This inevitably makes the company re-evaluate Xian Yu’s worth, even though the company had already valued Xian Yu’s skills enough.
…
Indeed, Lin Yuan did guide Xue Liang and Feng Shuo’s new song compositions using the Character Cards, but overall, the credit should still go to his two disciples.
This point, Lin Yuan knows best.
As for the outsiders speculating whether Lin Yuan can teach gold-ranked composers, the answer is affirmative.
With character cards and the upgraded Teacher’s Halo, Lin Yuan can indeed achieve that.
However, he won’t brag about it everywhere.
Teaching his disciples takes two hours a day.
Time is the biggest cost, and he doesn’t have that much time to nurture more disciples.
Although with the two disciples entering the seasonal top ten, there are such rumors within the company, and even some composers intend to take Lin Yuan as their mentor.
Lin Yuan disagrees, he does not want to become a disciple-collecting machine, once Li Lizhi is trained, he plans to stop temporarily. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Anyway, for Lin Yuan, this is good news, both of his disciples performed well in the tasks he assigned.
Good things come in pairs.
Just when Lin Yuan was satisfied with the performance of his two disciples, a few days later, a new piece of good news came—
The Dragon Awards ceremony officially took place.
The movie he composed, “The Tuner,” won the Dragon Award for Best Music.
Lin Yuan didn’t want to attend, so the company sent someone to accept the award.
Of course.
The other two nominations, “The Tuner” did not win.
Liu Zhengwen missed the best actor award.
The film also missed the honour of the Best Script.
However, being nominated and winning, are two different things.
Being nominated for three awards and successfully winning one of them was already good enough for Lin Yuan.
That’s a winning rate of one-third.
Moreover, the nomination itself is recognition.
But it seems that System doesn’t think so?
Not long after Lin Yuan learned that he won the Dragon Award for Best Music, System suddenly issued a new task: [We hope the host can receive the Dragon Award again. If the host accepts the task, you can get a superior script for 30 million customized price!]
“A script better than ‘The Tuner’?”
Lin Yuan had an idea and decisively replied: “I accept!”
After all, even if he can’t complete this task, the System can’t take back the script. This System task is more like a disguised discount for his next film.
It seems that the system guessed Lin Yuan’s thoughts: [If the task is completed, the host will be rewarded with a random treasure box!]
Random treasure box?
Lin Yuan was taken aback: “Bronze, silver, gold, and even diamond… all are possible?”
System: “Theoretically, yes.”
Lin Yuan: “…”
Theoretically?
Who would believe in a pseudorandom system?
However, this is the first time the system has offered a random treasure box as a reward. Lin Yuan vaguely felt that there might be a good harvest.
So he said, “Start customizing.”
System finished customizing surprisingly fast this time:
[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the script “Life of Pi”].
Immediately after watching the movie.
Lin Yuan suddenly realized, the difficulty of this task was somewhat too high.
