The Superstar is a System

Lin Xin: Help, this is 'Superstar God-Making System 112233'. I've become my host, what do I do now?!

Main Brain: Please complete the main mission and become a legendary superstar....

Chapter 108

Of course, the Lin family did not agree with Lin Xin holding the wedding on Mount Everest.

Although Lin Xin has successfully climbed Mount Everest twice, Mount Everest is still considered a place of death in the minds of ordinary people. Even though Lin Xin patted his chest and said that he was in great physical condition and could carry Xue Fei on his back and walk on the mountainside as if it were flat ground even in danger (Xue Fei: ...), Lin's family was always worried about what to do if they encountered an accident such as an avalanche.

Lin's father, mother and elder brother surrounded Lin Xin. Lin's father sat on the left, Lin's mother sat on the right, and elder brother moved a chair and sat opposite Lin Xin, trying to persuade Lin Xin to give up this bad idea.

Can't we do something simpler? Something a little more vulgar? Like on an island?

Lin Xin said: "It's so boring on the island, how about the seabed? I wonder if there is a submarine rental service."

Lin family: "..."

They continued to persuade Lin Xin that it was better to be a little vulgar.

Lin Xin hugged the Pikachu pillow that he had used for ten years and put his chin on it. "Okay, okay, let's go with the island. What do you think of Bermuda?"

Lin Xin was hit on the head by the Lin family who could no longer tolerate him.

Lin Xin was just joking to liven up the atmosphere. Although he did think Bermuda and Mount Everest were both good. It would be boring to just go through the motions on an island and invite a bunch of people who were not there.

Although Xue Fei told him that the wedding was tiring and boring, it was still meaningful because he could receive a lot of gifts.

Could the gifts really cover the cost of a luxurious wedding? Lin Xin didn't believe it.

Seeing Lin Xin compromise and not planning to go to Mount Everest or Bermuda, Lin's family was relieved. They knew that although Lin Xin acted smooth and tactful outside, he was not very willing to get along with strangers except in work situations. If he really held a luxurious wedding, he would definitely be unhappy with the coming and going of people. Lin's family persuaded Lin Xin that if he really didn't like it, he could not have a wedding.

Father Lin said: "You and Xue Fei are already a family now that you have obtained your marriage certificate. If you don't need a wedding to gain face, it doesn't matter if you don't have one."

Lin Xin buried her face in the pillow in her arms: "But the Internet says that a marriage without a wedding is an incomplete marriage. Even if it's a wedding for two people, we still have to have a wedding."

Lin family: "..."

They almost forgot that Lin Xin sometimes inexplicably believed in comments on the Internet.

Lin Xin: I am not obsessed with online comments. This is the conclusion Xiaoguang has selected through big data.

Optical Brain: 112233 is right.

Lin Qin was helpless: "Since you don't like too many people, then charter a cruise ship and hold the wedding at sea. Only invite people you know well, and the media can't come in."

The ocean is vast and only those with an invitation can enter. The media can’t just follow us secretly in a small boat, right?

Lin Xin said listlessly: "That's fine too."

In fact, when Lin Xin first said he wanted to go to Mount Everest, he just said it casually and didn't insist on it. But with so many people against it, he became obsessed with it.

This rebellious mentality probably means he has reached his belated rebellious phase.

After convincing Lin Xin, Xue Fei began to plan the wedding.

Money makes things easier, so the wedding was held quickly.

Xue Fei and Lin Xin only invited close friends and relatives, and did not invite any media.

The media was very unhappy, but they couldn't force their way onto the ship. Although they could use drones to take aerial photos, somehow the drones always crashed before they could find the cruise ship.

Maybe it's a problem with the climate in this sea area?

Optical computer: Hidden merit and fame.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Xue Fei and Lin Xin's wedding should have become a hot event, but because the media could not take photos and videos, Xue Fei and Lin Xin had no intention of hyping it up, so netizens only knew that they held their wedding on a cruise ship, and no one knew what the details of the wedding were.

Although netizens have made many speculations, if they are just speculations, they will not generate much heat.

It's just that the Internet is still tearing up the "Looking" crew and saying that they owe Lin Xin an award for Best Actor, or even owe Lin Xin a great achievement that will be recorded in the history of the entertainment industry, but Lin Xin and Xue Fei held a belated wedding and didn't seem to be affected at all. This makes those who are tearing up feel very boring.

It's really unpleasant to feel that the emperor is not anxious but the eunuchs are.

The crew did not respond, Lin Xin did not respond, the parties involved did what they were supposed to do, and only the irrelevant spectators looked extremely excited.

So gradually, the heat of public opinion on this matter also subsided. There is no shortage of news in the entertainment industry, and new hot news will soon appear. Even if Lin Xin is a traffic star, when he deliberately reduces his presence, he will soon be forgotten by the public opinion temporarily.

He was not remembered by the media until the fairy tale he and Gu Meng invested in was released in China.

In addition to being an investor, his cameo in the movie is also a point of interest for fans.

Since it was Lin Xin's own investment, he would definitely promote the film. Meng Lan specially held a quiz with prizes for the film. Fans who could guess all the roles played by Lin Xin in the film would receive a set of Lin Xin's unreleased photo albums. There was no upper limit on the number of winners.

Meng Lan gave the number of roles played by Lin Xin as a guest star. Each person had only one chance to compete and had to enter their ID card to log in to the quiz page.

Not to mention the fans, even non-Lin Xin fans were excited. If you get this unreleased photo album and sell it, you can make a lot of money.

Although Lin Xin’s acting skills are indeed amazing and her makeup skills are also quite impressive, what if they get lucky and guess it right?

As a result, this gimmick made the box office of the movie's premiere quite good.

The original plot is guaranteed, Gu Meng and Lin Xin's investment is in place, and they don't interfere with the director, so the quality of the film is very good. Although the subject matter is a children's fairy tale, adults also enjoyed watching it after it was filmed.

Children watch the fairy tale, and adults watch the special effects.

Some netizens said that it was better than those special effects movies for adults. The fighting scenes were smooth, the plot was rich, the characters were likable, and the music was classic.

Although Gu Meng and Lin Xin invested in this movie in order to launder money, the return was higher than expected.

Gu Meng looked at the box office and grinned wickedly.

Once the money is laundered, he will have enough capital to deal with the next group of people.

Some people have been dishonest recently.

By the way, although Gu Meng is now a responsible president, he has not given up his job (?). The movie he starred in was nominated for the Best Picture and Best Actor and Best Actress at the Oscar Film Festival. Even if he didn't win in the end, a nomination would have raised the status of this outdated star.

Gu Meng's fans were filled with tears. After their star became the CEO, he finally had a new work. This made them feel like they were still a star.

Looking back, Gu Meng and Lin Xin were once described by the media as "the rising twin stars of the entertainment industry". Now Lin Xin is a double international film emperor and is hailed as the new leader of Chinese actors. As for Gu Meng, fans wiped their tears and said nothing.

Although Gu Meng lives a fulfilling life and is definitely a winner in life, his fans who are still sticking with him still hope that he will have more works.

Lin Xin used this incident to "ridicule" Gu Meng, and Gu Meng actually felt a little guilty.

He touched his nose and said, "After I get rid of a group of people, I will work seriously for a while and make some good works."

Lin Xin said: "You can act in your true colors and win one or two awards."

Gu Meng refused without thinking: "No, that's boring. It's more interesting to play a decent person."

Lin Xin was speechless.

Will your role be stereotyped? Well, if you have money, you can invest it yourself, and it doesn't matter if it is stereotyped. Besides, Gu Meng didn't want to play other roles anyway.

Gu Meng asked, "What about you? You have been idle since the wedding. Do you have nothing to do?"

Lin Xin said: "I'm preparing new songs. I'll record a few more this time and put them together for an album. After the album is released, I'll continue filming movies."

Gu Meng asked, "You want to get the Yumei Best Actor award before you turn thirty?"

Lin Xin said: "Yes. I didn't think about this originally, but since the media has been saying bad things about me, I still have to fight for my reputation. I have also been selecting scripts recently."

Since there was no good crew, he invested on his own.

Gu Meng said: "Then you have to hurry up. With the quality of your previous entry into the crew, you only have one or two chances."

Less than three years may sound like a long time, but when you include filming, post-production and release, the time flies by in a flash.

Lin Xin nodded.

I originally thought that there was still a lot of time, but after calculating, it seems that we are indeed quite rushed.

He is now quite confident in his acting skills, and it is no problem to have a good crew as long as there is money, but good scripts are hard to find.

Whether the director will perform poorly is also something he needs to consider.

Gu Meng said: "I'll keep an eye out for you too. If you need investment, count me in. If you don't need it, count me in too."

Lin Xin's movies have never failed. You can never go wrong by investing in Lin Xin's movies.

Lin Xin said honestly: "I am not short of money, nor am I short of investment."

Gu Meng said: "I know you don't need it, I just want to make some money."

Lin Xin looked at Gu Meng with contempt.

Isn't the money my Xiaoguang earns for you enough? Money, money, money, vulgar.

Gu Meng shrugged. Yes, he is vulgar.

While Gu Meng was helping Lin Xin keep an eye out, Meng Lan was putting all her effort into finding a good script for Lin Xin.

The media spoke ill of Lin Xin, as if they believed that if Lin Xin missed the Yumei Film Festival, he would not be able to win the Yumei Best Actor award before the age of 30, which made Meng Lan very uncomfortable.

His Lin Xiaoxin is so outstanding, and there are still three years left, so why can’t he win the Yumei Best Actor award?

Lin Xin didn't feel anything about the last incident with the crew, but Meng Lan was still angry. He had already discussed with Fengyu and the director that this film would be used to help Lin Xin win the Yumei Best Actor Award, and this was also one of the verbal agreements that Lin Xin agreed to make for a cameo appearance. Who knew that they would go back on their word at the last minute and play the emotional card with Lin Xin, a soft-hearted little guy, to make Lin Xin give up?

In order to prevent this from happening again, Meng Lan decided to find the script, invest her own money and build her own team to tailor an award-winning movie for Lin Xin.

Anyway, Xue Fei is not short of money, right? Meng Lan didn't believe it. At this critical moment, Xue Fei would not support Lin Xin.

Xue Fei: Regardless of whether it matters or not, I will support Lin Xin...but Lin Xin is not short of money, and he won’t even give me a chance even though I want to support him QAQ.

Finally, Meng Lan chose a novel about undercover agents and wanted to buy the copyright for adaptation.

The protagonist of the novel is an undercover police officer. After he joined the gang, he started to struggle from the bottom. He was lucky, and the brother he met from the bottom eventually became the boss of the gang. He followed the gang boss from the bottom and fought his way through difficulties. Naturally, he became a great contributor after the gang reshuffle. He was the gang boss's confidant.

At this point, it’s time for the police to close in.

But the protagonist is confused.

He followed this gang of brothers through life and death, and the friendship they established in blood and fire was the strongest. Moreover, this gangster boss saved his life many times - although he also saved the gangster boss's life many times.

He knew that this gang was involved in smuggling drugs, guns, human trafficking, and usury in casinos, doing all sorts of evil things. If this gang was not eradicated, to put it in an exaggerated way, people would lose their families every day because of this gang.

Intellectually speaking, he should have told the police all the secrets he knew without hesitation, so that the police could eliminate this cancer.

But even though these people did all kinds of evil, the brothers around him were really good to him.

On the one hand, a person can be very vicious, but on the other hand, he can also shine with the dazzling brilliance of humanity, which makes people deeply admire him.

In this painful choice, the protagonist finally chose the side of justice. At the end of the film, the gangster boss still didn't believe that the person who betrayed him was the protagonist. Even when he was at the end of his rope, he shot and killed the person who said that the protagonist might be the betrayer, and then told the protagonist the final escape trump card, which only he knew.

He lets the protagonist go.

"I've already registered with the police, so it's hard to make a comeback." The gangster boss didn't show any madness on his face. "But my brothers can't just disperse like this, they still have to eat. The brothers overseas won't be affected this time, but if our gang is destroyed, our gang's enemies will definitely not let them go."

"I'll draw the firepower. The brothers who survive will depend on you."

Lin Xin looked down at the novel and said, "Does that gangster boss really not know that the protagonist is the one who betrayed him?"

Meng Lan said: "It's not written in the script, let the audience guess for themselves."

Lin Xin thought, what are you guessing? He must know.

It has come to this point, but the gang leader still can't figure out who the traitor is. He is a fool.

But he finally entrusted the gang to the protagonist.

And he did not entrust the wrong person. The protagonist finally left the police force, really took the capital left by the gang boss, became the new boss, "exiled" overseas, reorganized the gang, and re-entered the ranks of the big gangs, and even did better than the previous gang boss.

During the reorganization, the protagonist cut off the darkest businesses of the gang, such as drugs and human trafficking, and engaged in "legitimate business" and arms smuggling. He also had close ties with the government, cooperated with the government, covered up the government's actions abroad, and took commissions.

On the surface, he is "exiled overseas", but in reality, he has become a force behind the government. It would be strange if he didn't develop quickly.

The main plot ends when the protagonist decides to take over the gang's "exile". The final ending is many years later, when the situation of the gang is learned from other people.

Then the protagonist, who was already old and had passed on the position of the gang to someone else, came to the tombstone of the former gang boss and shot himself.

Perhaps the gang boss anticipated all this and entrusted the gang to the protagonist.

Although the protagonist caused the gang to be destroyed, he also gave the gang a new life, making it even more glorious and stable.

This is an interesting novel, but why does the plot seem so familiar?

Lin Xin looked at the author of the novel, who had written many best-selling gangster novels under the pen name Heihuo.

After searching on the optical computer, Heihuo's information was placed in front of Lin Xin.

Blackfire herself is very different from the subject matter she writes about. She is a girl with a gentle appearance and is said to have a gentle personality. In the video of the book signing event, she seemed a little shy and spoke softly, and she looked good-tempered.

A girl with this kind of personality doesn't seem like the type of author who would write stories full of blood, fire, trust, betrayal, and gangster feuds between men.

It is said that when the girl first appeared, many readers said they would not read gangster novels written by women and said they would stop being fans.

Although in the end it had no impact on sales.

There was nothing wrong with the girl's information on the surface, but Lin Xin felt very familiar when he looked at the content of the book.

It’s not that the undercover thing seemed familiar to him, but the internal changes in the gang, which he seemed to have seen before.

Lin Xin used his super brain to think about it and called Gu Meng to ask if he knew this person named Heihuo.

Gu Meng laughed: "You can even find this out?"

Lin Xin said: "I know the history of your gang's development, and it's a bit similar to what's written in this book. I originally thought she was an acquaintance of your gang and knew about your gang, but it turns out she's an acquaintance of yours?"

Gu Meng didn't keep the secret and said, "Black Fire is actually a common pen name for a bunch of boring cadres under me, so the rumor that Black Fire is a studio is not wrong. I occasionally write something under the pen name of Black Fire. The person who pushed it to the front has a clean profile. Why, you chose Black Fire's novel? I wanted to recommend Black Fire's novel to you, but you chose it yourself."

Lin Xin said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Hei Huo's novel is very suitable for being made into a movie or TV series."

Gu Meng said, "Have you forgotten that this kind of subject matter was strictly restricted some time ago? Heihuo's novel glamorizes the gang members a lot. After all, it was written by someone inside the gang. If the gang is not pure evil and does not get the retribution of being completely destroyed in the end, it will not pass the review."

Lin Xin then remembered this incident. He had played an undercover agent before, and the ending was that the gang was pure bad guys, and in the end justice defeated evil.

In recent years, the policy has been slightly relaxed, and it is possible to describe the less vicious side of gangs. Moreover, this book is a rare novel in which all the main gang members are dead. In the end, the gang is actually destroyed, and the new gang is no longer the evil criminal gang.

So it should be able to pass the review, which is why Meng Lan chose this novel to adapt into a script.

Gu Meng said: "If you want to choose this novel, I will play the role of the gangster boss for you."

Lin Xin said: "Aren't you unwilling to perform in your true colors?"

Gu Meng said: "But I don't want others to act. Just consider it as helping you. My brothers can also be extras for you. Anyway, we are all clean now, and the higher-ups won't say anything if we show some history now. Investment or something..."

Lin Xin said helplessly: "Let's split it in half, right? All you care about is money, money, money. Can you stop being so vulgar? Can you spend all the money you earn in this lifetime?"

Gu Meng said seriously: "I have a group of brothers to support, and I am not the only one spending it."

Lin Xin Hehe. You invested in your own name, saying that you were making money for your brothers. Doesn't your conscience hurt?

Gu Meng: Not only does it not hurt, it also makes me feel good. I buy things for my lover when I make money.

Qin Feng, who is also a rich man, but spends all his food, clothing, housing and transportation on Gu Meng's money: ... I always feel like I'm being supported by a sponsor. It's also frustrating to earn money but not be able to spend it.

So the script was finalized.

Blackfire's novels have not been adapted yet. It is said that some people once wanted to buy the copyright of Blackfire's novels, but were rejected by Blackfire.

After Meng Lan took a fancy to this novel, she originally wanted to contact the author of the novel and said that she could let the author participate in the screenwriting, and even not buy the copyright, and let the author use the copyright as investment and join the crew as an investor.

Lin Xin is not short of money, he just wants a Yumei actor.

Meng Lan thought that with Lin Xin's golden name, the author would not refuse. What he didn't expect was that Lin Xin told him the next day that the script was done.

The copyright is actually in Gu Meng's hands? This Gu Meng is really mysterious, Meng Lan thought.

But this is a good thing, he doesn't need to worry about copyright issues. No matter how mysterious Gu Meng is, as long as he is good to Lin Xin and does not drag Lin Xin down, it doesn't matter.

As for whether it is related to gangs or politics, it is very common in the entertainment industry, and Meng Lan will not pursue it further.

Gu Meng and Lin Xin have a good relationship and this is not their first collaboration, so Meng Lan feels a lot more at ease.

But just when he felt relieved, Lin Xin got into trouble again.

To be precise, it was not that Lin Xin knew the person, but that the incident provoke Lin Xin.

This matter has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

A foreign research team plagiarized Lin Xin's newly published mathematics paper, and Lin Xin was ready to settle the score with the other party.
