When negotiating the copyright fee, the author kept lowering the price, while Meng Lan kept raising it. The author cried that if he asked for too high a price, he would be expelled from the fan club. Meng Lan sighed that if he paid too little, people would say that Lin Xin was cheating his fans. The two of them went back and forth for a long time before they finally agreed on a suitable price.

Meng Lan felt that it was more terrible than the author who asked for an exorbitant price. If the author asked for an exorbitant price, he could choose another one, but if the author tried to lower the price, he had to consider not causing a bad influence, so he dared not offer too low a price.

The author was very distressed after negotiating the price. She felt that her "love" for Lin Xin was tainted by money.

The author confessed her pain to her parents. Her parents took a sip of tea and said calmly: "What's the problem? You can add some money and invest it in Lin Xin's movie. Although Lin Xin certainly has enough money for a low-budget movie, this is not about money, it's about the thought."

The author immediately had an epiphany and doubled the copyright fee she received and invested it in Lin Xin's film, saying that she should also do her part in the film adapted from her novel.

With such a high-sounding reason, Meng Lan couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

He looked at the author's shining eyes and couldn't bear it, so he thought about asking Lin Xin to come out and have a meal with this fan. But it seemed like he was selling Lin Xin out to the dinner party.

Meng Lan, who was in a very awkward situation, asked Lin Xin for his opinion. Lin Xin smiled and said, "As the copyright buyer, it is normal for me to have a chat and a meal with the copyright owner. If the girl is free, I would be happy to meet her."

Meng Lan thought it made sense, so she contacted the author, but was rejected by the author.

"I invested only because it's my novel, and it has nothing to do with Lin Xin." The author was very angry. "Please don't use such a small matter to hold my idol hostage! My idol can't accept such a meaningless invitation just for money! Brother Meng, as an agent, you should protect Lin Xiaoxin!"

Meng Lan: “???”

The author said: "After the filming of the movie starts, I will be able to meet Lin Xiaoxin. Before that, I must not meet Lin Xiaoxin, otherwise the media will write about her, saying that Lin Xiaoxin used her idol status to cheat fans of copyright fees. What should I do? I must put an end to any behavior that may tarnish Lin Xiaoxin's reputation."

Meng Lan: "...Okay, I understand."

You think too much. The media all know that Lin Xin has a lot of money and is a honest person. It is impossible for him to do anything to cheat fans out of their money... Forget it, just accept the fans' love for Lin Xin. There is no need to explain so much.

After hearing this, Lin Xin was also very grateful for the love of this fan. He originally wanted to give this fan some limited edition peripherals, but the fan said that he had money and had already collected them... Emmmm, well, for a rich fan, these are really not a big deal.

Lin Xin thought about it and promised his fans something good that even money could not get.

"When Brother Fei and I get married, I'll send you an invitation." Lin Xin said solemnly.

The author's fan on the other end of the phone was so happy after receiving Lin Xin's call that he wanted to go downstairs and run around, but after hearing what Lin Xin said, he immediately burst into tears.

I was crying so hard, and I don’t know if it was because I was sad that my idol got married and the groom (?) or bride (?) was not me, or because I was happy that I could see my idol at the most beautiful moment of his life.

The author was in very complicated mood, but it was absolutely impossible for her to give up this benefit.

In the end, the author went downstairs to run laps, laughing as he ran. This scared his neighbors who were jogging at night downstairs and also attracted the security guard to question him.

This was also a very unforgettable experience.

After Lin Xin successfully obtained the copyright, he began to work on adapting the script.

Originally, I wanted to let the original author participate in the script adaptation, but the original author has a full-time job. She is busy making money and has to update her own novel in her spare time, so she has no time to be a screenwriter.

Lin Xin had no choice but to find a new screenwriter and promised to discuss the adaptation with the original author.

The original author was so excited that he went downstairs to run laps again because he was a fan of such a cute idol.

Anyway, because of the fan filter, no matter what Lin Xin does, she gets excited and can't help herself.

After a few more runs, she won’t even need a personal trainer to supervise her fitness efforts.

Lin Xin's purchase of the script was done quietly, but after the purchase, the copyright was registered online. When the readers of this novel saw that the copyright of their favorite novel was sold, they immediately searched the Internet to find out who bought the copyright. The words "Universal Entertainment Lin Xin Studio" simply blinded their titanium alloy dog eyes.

"No wonder the author has been so happy lately. In the name of good things happening, she has changed the update schedule from once every two days to twice a day. I thought she just sold the copyright. I'm so stupid, really."

"I remember the author said she had plenty of money, so she turned down several attempts to buy her copyright. She said she wanted to invest on her own when the time was right. Now that she's selling it so readily, I thought her funding chain had broken down (get lost)."

"I just went to congratulate the author on her post, and she actually replied to my message, although her reply was a series of 'hahahaha'..."

"I went to the author's Facebook page to congratulate him, and he responded with a string of 'hahahahahahaha's..."

"The author has posted a Facebook post admitting that the copyright was bought by Lin Xin. She also received a call from Lin Xin and heard Lin Xin's voice. QAQ As a fan of Xin, I think I am very jealous of the author. Maybe I should write a novel."

"The author also said that she wanted to give it away for free, but Lin Xin didn't want to and insisted on paying her. The money she gave was quite a lot. She felt guilty and decided to double the money so that Lin Xin could invest in it. However, Lin Xin invested 50 million yuan himself... Shit, 50 million yuan!"

"The agent's Facebook page admitted the incident and said that he didn't agree with Lin Xin playing in a romantic comedy at the time. After all, Lin Xin had never played a similar role before. But Lin Xin directly handed him a card with 50 million in current account, saying that he was not afraid of losing money and it was no problem, so the agent had to agree. It is said that this was all Lin Xin's savings and had nothing to do with Brother Fei."

"So, Brother Fei heard that this was the first time that Lin Xiaoxin bought the script herself and might direct it herself, so he must have given her some extra money... I say, can a romantic movie cost that much?!"

“Is it just hype?”

"This is not hype. The agent sent a screenshot of a 50 million current account... Can I ask why the 50 million needs to be in a current account? How much interest will be wasted!"

"According to inside information, this is probably Brother Fei's fault. I heard that Lin Xiaoxin had investments before, but Brother Fei's habit of taking advantage of others has led Lin Xiaoxin astray... Stop digressing, who can tell me how to use so much investment?"

"Isn't it easy to spend money? Invite big-name stars, choose exquisite costumes and props, have more outdoor scenes, follow up with the publicity, and spend more time on the cinema... But no matter what, Lin Xin is willing to spend so much money, and he is very determined. Lin Xin may want to switch to being a director."

"...The agent posted on Facebook again. He said that Lin Xin didn't want to become a director, and he didn't plan to continue to enter the directing industry after this movie. He will continue to hone his acting skills. He bought the copyright of this novel because he resonated with the male protagonist of the novel. Specifically, look at the news about Lin Xin confessing to Xue Fei...Okay, I understand_(:зゝ∠)_. Lin Xiaoxin, what can I say..."

"...I understand now. When the news first appeared, I wrote in the article that Lin Xiaoxin and the male lead were a good match. I didn't expect..."

"Lin Xiaoxin: I thought so too, so I decided to act it myself."

"… I'm speechless. Forget it. Is this what you call being rich and willful?"

"Lin Xin should have saved a lot from endorsement fees and film remuneration, but he didn't reveal any hobbies of spending money. When he was interviewed by reporters, he said that Xue Fei and Lin Qin helped him pay for all his expenses, and he saved all his money. Now he finally spent it."

"It's not useless actually. Last time on Mount Everest..."

“Hahaha, by the way, he used his money to climb Mount Everest twice, hahahaha.”

"In the eyes of Brother Lin and Brother Fei, Lin Xin is probably a naughty kid. He spends money... as he pleases. Fortunately, this time we are just making a movie, so at most the money will go down the drain, unlike the last time we climbed Mount Everest, which was so dangerous. Although poor people like us probably love money more..." (Lin Xiaoxin's family liked "

…

…

"Oh my god! Brother Fei liked my post! I clicked on the profile picture and saw that it was really Brother Fei who liked my post!"

"...The one above, Brother Fei seems to have cancelled your like."

"I saw it. I'm so stupid. Why would I say it out loud? Brother Fei must be shy."

"No, maybe Brother Fei just doesn't want Lin Xin to find out that he liked your comment."

"Hahahaha burp!"

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

Just as Meng Lan expected, when he explained the reason why Lin Xin chose this novel, the public's attention was indeed shifted from "Lin Xin directed it herself" to "Lin Xin, this naughty kid, is showing off his love in a high-profile manner again."

Fans said that they had eaten this bowl of dog food and would definitely support Lin Xin’s movies in the future.

The author also joined her readers in making a fuss, saying that it was completely fine to adapt romance novels into adult films, as long as Brother Fei played the "female" lead.

But obviously, it is impossible for CEO Fei Ge to play the female lead, everyone is just making a fuss.

The media also laughed at Lin Qin and Xue Fei for not being able to pay for Lin Xin anymore, leaving Lin Xin with nowhere to spend money. You see, every time Lin Xin spends his own money, it makes big news.

Although the attention is a little biased, the public is still very interested in Lin Xin's self-directed, self-acted and self-invested romantic comedy film. Under this premise, the choice of the film's heroine is very eye-catching.

Lin Xin had already chosen the female lead, he chose Guan Hanwei, with whom he had worked once before.

Although there are many actresses to choose from, Lin Xin prefers actresses whose acting skills and professionalism he has personally witnessed. Although there are some "unpleasantness" between him and Guan Hanwei, this unpleasantness is Guan Hanwei's own feeling. Lin Xin feels that he has a good cooperation with Guan Hanwei.

After Guan Hanwei's last TV series, her acting skills have been further recognized by the industry, and she is now considering entering the big screen. Guan Hanwei will definitely go all out for this opportunity given by Lin Xin.

When Guan Hanwei received this invitation, she was so scared that she knocked over the cup.

She thought he had intentions towards Lin Xin, and Lin Xin was also aware of her shameful past, so she should avoid working with her in the future. However, not only did Lin Xin not avoid it, he also personally invited her to be the heroine of his first directorial work.

When Guan Hanwei heard Lin Xin say that the reason for choosing her was her acting skills and professionalism, Guan Hanwei laughed until tears came out.

When they were in the underground garage, Lin Xin asked her why she was still doing what she once hated so much now that she had already escaped from the quagmire and was able to use her strength in the career she loved most to fight for more work.

Although she was touched after hearing it, she still felt a little skeptical in her heart.

She has seen so many dirty things, and it is not so easy to become bright.

But Guan Hanwei now knows why Lin Xin said that. Because Lin Xin himself is that kind of person. He really only extended an olive branch to a despicable woman who once used him just because of his acting skills and professionalism.

Lin Xin: "...Don't be so self-deprecating, you are a good person."

Guan Hanwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and in the end she was really crying and laughing at the same time.

She felt that she was probably in love, but it ended just as it began, and she would not tell anyone about her throbbing heart.

"Okay, I agree," Guan Hanwei said, "I'll let my agent sign the contract."

Guan Hanwei did not ask about the salary and directly accepted the invitation.

Even if she didn't have a good impression of Lin Xin, she would not refuse the invitation, and would even reduce her pay.

She wants to enter the big screen. Lin Xin's script has a relatively good fan base of the original novel. Although the director is a newcomer, Lin Xin has a strong background and the investment in the film is huge, so it can't be too bad no matter how you think about it.

It was her first time acting in a movie, so it was impossible to find a crew with all the necessary skills. It was already great to have such a capable crew, and a female lead.

It should be said that if Lin Xin's thinking circuit was not different from that of ordinary people, with such a large investment, it would be unlikely that he would choose an actress who had never acted in a movie to play the heroine in his first directorial film.

Lin Xin could afford the film remuneration, and had the added bonus of his status and background, so even first-line female movie stars would be happy to do Lin Xin this favor.

The media were obviously surprised that Lin Xin would choose Guan Hanwei as the heroine, so some media began to write about the scandal between Lin Xin and Guan Hanwei. In order to avoid Lin Xin sending a lawyer's letter, they all wrote very ambiguous words, a tone that left nothing to chance.

Even Guan Hanwei’s fans are asking whether Guan Hanwei has a good relationship with Lin Xin.

Guan Hanwei responded: Me and Lin Xin? Sorry, I can't cook.

Fans: ...This response is so powerful! We will never spread rumors about you and Lin Xin again!

Media: …

I'm so tired, can you please play by common sense?

Guan Hanwei continued to respond: I was also surprised that Lin Xin chose me. The reason Lin Xin gave me was that he felt that for his first film as a director, it would be safer to choose an actress who had acted opposite him. And among all the Chinese actresses who had acted opposite him, I was the one with the best acting skills. I was very happy when I heard it, and felt that my acting skills were recognized. But afterwards, I thought, how many Chinese actresses have acted opposite Lin Xin?

Fans: Come on, let me count on my fingers... If I include the heroine of "Flying Snow Blade", there are only... two? Or did I count wrong?

Not to mention that the heroine of "Flying Snow Blade" is pregnant and has temporarily retired from the screen, she and Lin Xin don't really have any scenes together. As a male supporting actor, Lin Xin has more scenes with the male lead, and barely speaks a few words to the heroine.

At this time, a foreign actress who had worked with Lin Xin joked on Facebook, saying that foreigners are also OK, just treat them as mixed-race.

Lin Xin seriously stated that the original work should be respected.

The fans were overjoyed, while the media felt powerless.

They seemed to understand that Lin Xin took this movie very seriously, so she chose an actress with whom she had worked before and whose acting skills and character she knew. But they always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what it was.

Once you get caught up in Lin Xin's train of thought, it's not easy to get out of it.

So fans and the media naturally (?) accepted Guan Hanwei as the heroine and gave their best wishes to the crew.

"Lin Xiaoxin is going to play the role of a mentally retarded president. I am really looking forward to it."

"Please don't use personal attacks, please use cute words, okay?"

"I think it's enough for Lin Xiaoxin to just act naturally..."

“The key is how to direct and edit.”

"Look at the assistant director and consultant Lin Xiaoxin hired, and you won't have to worry anymore."

"Fuck, they are all talented people in the industry. This lineup is too luxurious! Does Lin Xin really just want to direct a romantic comedy?"

"Funny face, no, what Lin Xiaoxin directed is a love letter to President Xue."

"Love letter +1, I feel sorry for the heroine for a second."

"Love letter +2, hurry up @Lin Xiaoxin's family. Brother Fei, Brother Fei, are you touched?"

"Brother Fei: Don't dare to move, don't dare to move... this naughty child! (sweet face)"

"By the way, Mr. Xue is the real CEO, right? And a very powerful one. A multinational company, one of the top 100 in the world. Why does Lin Xiaoxin's style look like a CEO?"

"Maybe it's because Mr. Xue is a normal CEO, and Lin Xiaoxin is a middle school student..."

"My Lin Xiaoxin is not a middle school student, he is just a little obsessed with reading novels!"

“薛总也很总裁的。要是其他人和蔺小昕一样，他大概早就叫保安揍人了，又不是出不起医疗费和保释费。也只有蔺小昕敢在薛总身上试验小说总裁的手段（二哈吐舌头）。这才是真爱，这才是总裁的宠溺。”

"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true... Mr. Xue really dotes on me to no end."

…

…

At this time, Lin Xiaoxin's family posted a new Facebook post with only one emoticon. The emoticon read, "What else can I do? Of course I choose to forgive him."

The onlookers laughed so hard that they fell backwards and were almost choked to death by their saliva.

These two celebrities (CEOs?) are so refreshing and unconventional in their affection, which makes people laugh... and also makes people so envious QAQ. This is what a truly good relationship looks like.

Gu Meng was very sad as his title of "show-off love maniac" in the circle was snatched away by Lin Xiaoxin. Gu Meng strongly requested to make a movie showing love and let his girlfriend be one of the protagonists, but was ruthlessly rejected by his girlfriend.

Gu Meng was very sad and ran away from home to Lin Xin, who happened to draft him into the army to try out the second male lead in the movie, the miserable childhood sweetheart who kept trying to change the male lead's weird and naive view of love.

Still no pay.

Gu Meng felt like he was on a pirate ship.

However, he felt that this role was quite challenging. Although he complained, he actually enjoyed acting.

When his family saw that Gu Meng gave up the idea of letting him be the leading actor, they breathed a sigh of relief and happily said that they could also become one of Lin Xin's investors as long as Lin Xin could get Gu Meng to stop having so many weird ideas.

"He has been too idle recently and has no tasks. But he doesn't have any scripts he likes. If you have any interesting roles in the future, please help invite him." The man from Gu Meng's family made a sincere request.

Lin Xin can definitely understand Gu Meng's preferences, and the scripts and roles he chooses may be more to Gu Meng's liking than what he chooses himself.

Of course Lin Xin agreed without hesitation. Niu Da was only a friend, and Gu Meng was his first human best friend. He would definitely help Gu Meng and not let him go astray.

Xue Fei was upset. He now knew Gu Meng's true identity, and he felt that if Lin Xin and Gu Meng were together, they would go out looking for excitement at any moment with a gun.

He still remembered the last time Lin Xin came to the terrorist organization's base to rescue him. After that, Lin Xin climbed Mount Everest twice for excitement.

I just hope Gu Meng can consider that Lin Xiaoxin is still a child and not force Lin Xiaoxin to do anything dangerous.

Lin Xin: ...I'm not a child.

Gu Meng: Hahahaha, you are still a child. Is Xue Fei a pedophile for falling in love with a child?

Lin Xin: ...Get out!

Xue Fei was even more upset. He could only remind Lin Xin not to learn bad things.

Lin Xin nodded, with an expression as cute as it could be.

He has always been very obedient and has never done anything bad. That trip to the terrorist base was an accident.

Xue Fei thought about it and agreed that Lin Xin was still very obedient.

…

Gu Meng: "Have you finished laundering the money I gave you last time?"

Lin Xin: "Well, Xiaoguang said it was almost enough, and he doubled it for you. But it seems someone noticed it, so it's time to change the way we do it."

Gu Meng: "Then make a few movies. You have a better eye than me in this regard. Go abroad and find some novels with good plots. I can even make a cameo appearance then."

Lin Xin: "No problem, leave it to me. What type do you like?"

Gu Meng: "Children's literature, the kind full of justice and love. It's perfect for the two of us."

Lin Xin: “You are absolutely right.”

Well, Lin Xin didn’t become a bad person. Everything he did was within the scope of the law, wasn’t it?
