Chapter 29 029 A lucky script!

Chapter Twenty-Nine

After Lin Yuan finished singing, Jiao Le fell silent.

He had a preconceived notion about the song "Hot" in his mind. He even planned to point out Lin Yuan's shortcomings after he finished singing it, so as to make the song more complete.

As a result, Lin Yuan's version now covers the version he envisioned.

Jiao Le could hardly remember what she was thinking at the beginning.

But without a doubt, Lin Yuan sang very well, even far exceeding his expectations.

Jiao Le even felt that Lin Yuan seemed to have been a participant in "The Prosperous World" from the beginning, because he got close to the core of the movie just by singing.

If the other party achieved this by reading the script, it means that Lin Yuan's comprehension as an actor is terrifyingly high.

Jiao Le couldn't help but ask Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan replied, "I've read the script and also seen 'Changchun'."

No wonder.

From the director's perspective, Lin Yuan's singing was perfectly adequate, but there's still a stage between recording and making it the movie's theme song.

Lin Yuan still needs to stay in the recording studio for a while.

"Director Jiao, are you not going to continue listening?" the sound engineer asked.

"I'm not listening anymore, that's enough."

Before entering the recording studio, Jiao Le's steps were still a bit heavy, but now they were lighter.

He's a perfectionist. There were many options for the theme song of "The Prosperous World," and he could have invited other singers, but Jiao Le felt that if it didn't feel right, it just didn't feel right.

"The World of Prosperity" is a film he made with his heart, so it deserves the best theme song singer.

...

The news that Lin Yuan sang the theme song for "The Prosperous World" has not been made public. Only a few acquaintances know about it for the time being, and the "The Prosperous World" production team is keeping it a secret.

Since the production team wasn't making it public, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't reveal it on his own initiative.

But in the eyes of others, "Heart's Desire" did not bring any subsequent effects to Lin Yuan.

"It's too obscure, otherwise how would Tian Yi have gotten follow-up resources?"

"People in the industry know better, right? It's obvious that 'Heart's Desire' is all thanks to Tian Yi. Does it have anything to do with Lin Yuan? He's really addicted to riding on other people's coattails."

Lin Yuan ignored all of these comments.

He is reading a script.

After singing the song "Hot", Qin Panyun probably couldn't stand Lin Yuan's idle state and introduced him to a script.

After "Heart's Desire", Lin Yuan received many invitations from music programs, including music variety shows, singing and dancing competitions, and the currently popular brother-themed variety shows, but he declined them after thinking about it.

These kinds of variety shows are essentially no different from "Tomorrow's Star". Even if they attract fans, it's only temporary. Whether as a singer or an actor, Lin Yuan would prefer a more lasting work.

But to Lin Yuan's surprise, Qin Panyun actually introduced him to a TV drama script.

The subject matter of this drama suits Qin Panyun's taste. It is a historical drama, and the protagonist is Shao Jing, the most famous powerful minister in history. However, just like the inevitable ending of every powerful minister, the relationship between Shao Jing and the emperor also changed from a harmonious relationship to mutual loathing.

There are more than one works depicting the story of this powerful minister, but in most works, Shao Jing exists as a supporting character or villain, or he is a cunning and scheming minister when he first appears. However, this script begins to depict Shao Jing's youth and spans a long period of time.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder, "Will this script lack actors?"

Putting everything else aside, any script that Qin Panyun introduces is bound to be of high quality.

The main creative team is probably quite good as well.

Qin Panyun frankly stated, "There is no shortage of actors, but as you know, young actors these days are not very interested in this type of subject matter."

To some extent, historical dramas have been removed from the list of genres that are "guaranteed to be popular".

Even the best drama is useless if you can't make your actors famous.

For male actors, idol dramas attract fans much faster than historical dramas. While historical dramas can certainly make someone popular for a long time, the prerequisite for long-term popularity is to become popular first.

Filming idol dramas is obviously much more efficient, and Xie Yu is a prime example.

So many male actors have become famous through historical and modern dramas, so naturally the remaining actors will follow suit.

Of course, there is another reason.

—To some extent, none of the currently popular or already well-known young actors can carry this script.

Twenty years ago, male actors in their twenties would be taking on leading roles in serious dramas while considering future career transitions. Now, however, there are plenty of male actors in their thirties acting in idol dramas, and they are still considered to have a promising future by their fans.

"Think about it and don't rush to reply," Qin Panyun said. "Anyway, I think it's quite suitable."

"Thousand Mountains" is, after all, Lin Yuan's first work, so Qin Panyun will inevitably take care of Lin Yuan.

From Qin Panyun's perspective, he hopes that Lin Yuan can act in more works that allow him to showcase his acting skills.

But he won't influence Lin Yuan's choices; perhaps for Lin Yuan right now, fame is the most important thing.

...

Lin Yuan read the script over and over again. In his opinion, the script was quite well written, mainly because of its tight pacing and the absence of any filler parts.

Nowadays, many film crews revise their scripts after the production has started, adding scenes for both the male and female leads, and some even have their own scriptwriters.

The screenwriter has to consider the needs of both the male and female leads, and also add popular elements that are sure to become hits.

Objectively speaking, historical themes are indeed not popular right now.

Lin Yuan searched on video websites and found that there were only a few works in the past few years when he clicked on the "history" category, and the number of views was low.

TV stations and streaming platforms have tried to produce large-scale historical dramas, but for some reason, these large-scale productions with excellent casts always end up giving the audience a sense of unreality.

It doesn't have the unrealistic feel of idol dramas; instead, it feels more like something that's pretentious and empty, which can actually make viewers feel mentally exhausted.

Lin Yuan watched one of them that night.

All he could say was that the production was excellent, the sets were exquisite, and the actors' performances were passable, but the production team failed to blend these elements together perfectly, which the audience wouldn't like.

For Lin Yuan, the question is whether or not to accept the script he has on hand.

Lin Yuan felt that if he had an agent, the agent would probably advise him not to take the job yet—because no male actor of his age would plan such a career path.

In the long run, Lin Yuan may become the kind of actor who has acting skills but lacks popularity.

If you want to continue, it's obviously more important to have both.

But the problem is—Lin Yuan doesn't have an agent right now; he has to manage everything himself.

He asked himself, "Do I like this script?" The answer was yes.

Who can stop him from accepting this script? Nobody can stop him.

Recently, fewer and fewer scripts have been handed to him—although Lin Yuan accepted "Thousand Mountains," there has been no news about "Thousand Mountains" for the time being, while "Heart's Desire" has left a deep impression on the audience.

Many people probably thought that Lin Yuan would continue to develop in the direction of music.

Since no one's in charge, should I accept this script?

Lin Yuan already knew the answer in his heart.

However, Lin Yuan realized that he really needed an agent.

He is currently waiting for invitations to come to him. Fortunately, he met Qin Panyun and Li Mobei through "Thousand Mountains", which gave him another channel to access resources. However, this waiting state cannot last.

In the entertainment industry, he is, after all, just a minor celebrity.

Lin Yuan regularly checks his work email. His work is already quite complicated. There are invitations to shoot a double cover with Tian Yi, interviews to chat about "Tomorrow's Star Path", and even live-streaming sales... There's too much work for Lin Yuan to go through one by one.

He still needs a perceptive agent to secure better opportunities for him.

...

[Speaking of which, didn't "Heart's Desire" bring Lin Yuan any benefits? It seems like Tian Yi is gradually becoming popular again, but Lin Yuan doesn't seem to have any plans for his end?]

[+1, "Heart's Secret" is over, what did he do?]

Given his previous temper, I really thought he would turn Xie Yu upside down.

What resources does Lin Yuan have now? With "A Thousand Mountains" finished filming, will he continue touring "Tomorrow's Tomorrow" next year?

On a certain entertainment forum, Lin Yuan, who had not been mentioned for many days, suddenly appeared on the homepage.

The original poster was only rationally discussing the influence of the song "Heart's Desire," but the topic gradually shifted to Lin Yuan, and then analyzed the resources that Lin Yuan currently has.

Later in the discussion, the original poster discovered that Lin Yuan currently only has one film in stock, "Thousand Mountains," which is yet to be released.

The post was quickly reposted to Weibo and pushed by marketing accounts, and the hashtag #LinYuanHu# also became a trending topic.

"I thought Lin Yuan and Tian Yi would create a CP (couple pairing) between them, but they didn't?"

+1.

"Actually, even back in 'The Rising Star,' fans loved shipping couples so much that they could find sweet moments between contestants who had no connection. Lin Yuan didn't have any couples, partly because the show didn't promote him, and partly because he himself didn't seem to care much."

"Anyway, Lin Yuan's future is not good."

"Then why do Lin Yuan's fans still like to make him ride on Xie Yu's coattails? With his resources, he's nowhere near as good as Xie Yu, okay?"

The name Lin Yuan will always be associated with Xie Yu, so shortly after the hashtag #LinYuanHustle appeared, #XieYuInventory also appeared.

"Luxury brand business deals, the movie 'The Immortal,' and the upcoming filming of 'Return from the Wrong Path,' fashion magazines—Xie Yu's resources are something Lin Yuan couldn't even dream of matching, could they?"

"After years of boasting, he still comes back with 'A Thousand Mountains,' it's hilarious."

Lin Yuan's comment section became lively once again.

Originally, this had nothing to do with Xie Yu. Anyway, his fans always mocked Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan had gotten used to it.

But this time, Xie Yu liked a post on Weibo saying that Lin Yuan had no resources.

Xie Yu quickly unliked the post, but it was still captured by netizens.

Normally, Xie Yu doesn't respond, or her fans come forward to explain that it was just a mistake.

But the problem is—just one minute after Xie Yu gave the thumbs up, the theme song promotional trailer for "The Prosperous World" was released.

The theme song for this big-budget film, which has garnered immense attention within the industry, was sung by Lin Yuan.

The netizen who posted the screenshot is absolutely certain that the official announcement of Lin Yuan for "The Prosperous World" did indeed occur one minute after Xie Yu liked the post.

"Doesn't this scene look familiar?"

"Ahhh, last time that 'Xie Yu is ahead of everyone else' post was only posted for an hour, and 'Thousand Mountains' has already announced Lin Yuan."

"..."

"..."

#Every time Xie Yu does something bad, Lin Yuan gets an extra big reward#

"Xie Yu's name sounds like 'fish,' and Lin Yuan's name means 'pond.' So Xie Yu is Lin Yuan's lucky koi."

Lin Yuan: "?"

Withdraw immediately!

Was it to annoy Xie Yu, or to annoy him?
