Chapter 251: Chapter 235: The Next Movie_1
Having more identities could be troublesome to deal with. Perhaps getting an agent or something similar could save Lin Yuan a lot of hassle…
He’ll keep an eye out for potential candidates.
Lin Yuan turned on his computer and looked up the list of fantasy authors selected by the online community.
Top Three Gods.
The three were Antarctica, Mercury, and Double-Knife Kid.
The first two were veteran fantasy authors from Qin Province with the most terrifying book sales, and the third was the face of fantasy authors in Qi Province.
There were ten spots for the Great Old One (GOAT).
Chu Kuang’s name was fifth on the list, but there was a cheeky note added to this award:
The ranking does not indicate superiority.
In the list of GOATs, Lin Yuan also saw the name of the author, Devil Child, whose new book was released at the same time as his “Ghost Blows Out the Light.” The author was placed tenth in the GOAT award…
He then accessed the Tribe.
As expected, Lin Yuan saw a lot of people online discussing the award winners. “What? Is this ranking really not in order?”
“Such a blur, it’s the first time I’ve seen the officials with such a strong will to survive.”

“Literature and Arts Association: Whether or not there’s ranking, you decide.” “Don’t make it hard for the officials. This ranking is actually quite fair, considering each author’s novel sales, impact, and quality…”
“It’s indeed quite fair.”
“The number of people from Qin Province clearly has the advantage.”
The next Top God will certainly come from these ten Great Old Ones, right?”
Logging into Chu Kuang’s Tribe account, Lin Yuan saw many comments congratulating him on receiving the GOAT award.
“Worthily awarded!”
“I really love ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’, keep it up, Great Chu Kuang!” “GOAT doesn’t sound as good as old rascal, right, Chu Kuang the Old Rascal?” “Exactly, what Goat, killing Biyao is a crime!”
‘Chu Kuang: Even if I am a rascal, I am a rascal who steals hearts, stealing the hearts of my young readers.”
You guys wait and see, One day when the editor can’t restrain the Old Rascal
Chu Kuang, he’ll kill off Yang Xueli, then you’ll be crying!”
“Will he really?”
“If Chu Kuang dares to kill off Yang Xueli, I’ll send him a local specialty.”
Yang Xueli is Shirley Yang.
Because the time period has changed, this character is no longer a Chinese-American and it was not convenient to use an English name.
So this female character in “Ghost Blows Out the Light” is called Yang Xueli.
Bold and considerate, this character is popular among readers and is considered the leading lady in “Ghost Blows Out the Light.”
As a matter of fact.
Over these few days, the second volume of “Ghost Blows Out the Light,” “The Lost Caverns,” was released, and the response was just as good as the first volume.
However, Lin Yuan has been focusing on movies recently, so he didn’t pay much attention to it and just submitted his work as usual.
Perhaps because Chu Kuang’s update speed was terrifyingly fast, there were few readers in his comment section urging him to update more.
The only surprise for Lin Yuan was…
Shadow had actually tagged him, congratulating him on getting the GOAT award.
Was this some sort of supernatural event? Shadow was actually alive? Lin Yuan was surprised for a moment before he remembered that Luo Wei had been managing the account Shadow.
Luo Wei didn’t know that Shadow, Chu Kuang, and Xian Yu were all his pseudonyms, so it was fine for her to congratulate Chu Kuang on Shadow’s account–
The problem was with the fans:
“Why is there no response from Xian Yu’s side, and Shadow was the first to congratulate?”
“For such a big event like the GOAT award, Teacher Xian Yu didn’t make a sound. Are things not going well with Old Rascal Chu Kuang?”
“Is Shadow trying to seize the opportunity to rise to the top!”
“Guys, the stock of Shadow has risen!”
“You guys are at it again? But I like it.”
“Could it be because everyone has been discussing Xian Yu’s writing skills lately, our Chu Kuang the Goat is feeling a bit insecure?”
N H
Lin Yuan was speechless.
Of course, Xian Yu would not congratulate Chu Kuang.
Because such an act would be tantamount to selling and praising herself.
But Lin Yuan couldn’t stop Luo Wei.
Because from Luo Wei’s perspective, there was nothing wrong with it, making Shadow look more like an independent person, which significantly reduced her own risk of being exposed.
While Lin Yuan was reading the Tribe news, he heard some movement outside his door. Zu Ruiming had come.
“Director.”
Lin Yuan greeted him.
Old Zhou chuckled, “Congratulations on the success of ‘Flirting Scholar.’ I got some newly launched good tea today, I figured you would like it, so I brought you a box.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.
As an assistant, Gu Dong naturally followed him, unboxed the tea that Old Zhou brought, and made a cup of tea for each of them. Then he deliberately left the room, closing the door behind him so that the two could chat.
“Here’s the thing.”
Old Zhou coughed, “For your first film, the company may not have taken it seriously. So I came here to tell you that if you want to make more films in the future, I can help you secure more funding.”
Lin Yuan’s movie was a hit.
There are now two opinions outside. One is that Lin Yuan got lucky, and the other is that Lin Yuan really has the ability. However, the most widespread view is that Lin Yuan’s own abilities combined with a bit of luck have made the movie ‘Flirting Scholar’ a success.
In other words.
The company recognises Lin Yuan’s success. Although Old Zhou didn’t handle this matter well and thus the company suffered heavy losses, they have raised their attention towards Lin Yuan and decided to support Lin Yuan’s next movie.
“Next movie?”
Lin Yuan did not immediately answer.
He had tasted the sweetness from the first movie, so he would definitely continue making films in the future. But bringing up this matter now was premature. He would need at least some time before he started to consider the next film.
“No need to rush to answer.”
Old Zhou smiled, “You can take your time to polish the script for the next film. When the script is ready, just remember to contact me first. I just came here to express the company’s support for your new film.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
It seems like Old Zhou really did come today to express the company’s attention. After finishing his tea and chatting for another ten minutes, Old Zhou left.
Once Old Zhou had left.
Lin Yuan started to ponder.
Although there was no rush to prepare a new film project now, he could at least set the script first.
As for the type of script…
The best choice, of course, would be another comedy like Zhou’s.
Because ‘Flirting Scholar’ had already laid a solid foundation for nonsensical comedies.
But he didn’t know what the System would say.
Lin Yuan directly called out the System, “Can I directly specify a certain movie?”
The System replied, “That function has not been opened yet. For now, the theme and type of custom scripts are random.”
Lin Yuan:”…”
This damn System would never make people completely satisfied.
Random scripts…
Isn’t this the same route as customizing novels?
According to this System’s behavior, the next “Random Movie” most probably wouldn’t belong to the same genre as ‘Flirting Scholar,’ there might even be a stark contrast.
However, Lin Yuan also noticed a key word from the System:
“At present.”
This function is not available at present?
So, does this mean that in the future he can customize movies by himself?
That might work.
Lin Yuan spoke up, “Then customize the new script.”
The System:[Script customization in progress….]
