"It's referenced."
As everyone knows, the Southern and Northern Dynasties was a ridiculous chaotic era. There's nothing they couldn't do, only things you couldn't imagine.
Many people like to romanticize the elegance of the Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties, but in fact, the most beastly and brutish times were also those periods. Black and white always coexist; these two never operate alone.
Simply put, starting from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Huaxia has existed for five thousand years, and there is over three thousand years of officially recorded history. The black, the white, the gray, all the colors existed in history. As modern people, we shouldn't underestimate the ancients, nor should we overestimate them.
Chi Linyue: "That's why some plots seem a bit outrageous, but they fit the character settings perfectly."
After a moment, she added, "How can the brain come up with so many things?"
Xu Lin laughed: "Otherwise, how would we put food on the table?"
On Xu Lin's end, he continued talking with Ranzhi today.
Ranzhi mentioned that tomorrow the website will release a list of prominent figures.
Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, there's a surprise tomorrow, remember to check it out at ten in the morning! Sunglasses.jpg"
Xu Lin: "No problem."
Xu Lin truthfully wasn't very interested. Platinum and prominent figures are what the web novel circle pursues, the ultimate dream for many authors, but now Xu Lin has completely moved beyond the web novel loop, so for him, it's merely a title, nothing special.
Ranzhi: "And Mr. Xu, the night after tomorrow, the website's personal interview is scheduled, is that okay? You don't need to show your face."
Xu Lin: "No problem."
Ranzhi: "Our interviewer is a beautiful host! Blushes.jpg Sunglasses.jpg"
Xu Lin: "Got a photo?"
Ranzhi sent him a few pictures, just photos of the host in a pink and white professional outfit, very formal photos, a dime a dozen online.
Xu Lin took a look, she was indeed quite pretty.
Xu Lin: "She's alright."
Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu must have seen a lot to say that. To us ordinary men, girls of this level are already great beauties. Hehe.jpg"
Xu Lin chatted with him for a dozen minutes.
Then, Xu Lin pondered over if there was anything else to do.
"Oh right."
Xu Lin recalled that he needed to start recruiting for the music discipleship class.
So, Xu Lin logged into Xiaohongshu and edited a new post.
Content: "I'm planning to open a music discipleship class, five people per session. Requirements for collaboration: aged eighteen to thirty, skilled in a certain aspect of music, excellent singing, or outstanding talent. The discipleship class will receive specialized training from me. Those with musical dreams and certain abilities can contact me."
Once edited, Xu Lin directly posted it.
Currently, Xu Lin's Xiaohongshu followers are over sixteen million.
Once the post was published, it attracted a massive crowd.
"Is Lord Xu opening a class?"
"Is this discipleship class like a closed-door apprenticeship?"
"The threshold seems high, only five people. I assume a huge swarm will apply, requiring strict selection."
"Otherwise, why call it a discipleship class?"
"Is Lord Xu still accepting songwriting commissions, like the ones for a hundred thousand per song before?"
People chimed in one after another.
Not long after, people also noticed that Xu Lin's assistant's account was open for adding again.
Xu Lin's fame is now greater, and he's exerting influence in the music circle too. The songs he wrote for his disciples also became hits.
So, many started to add Xu Lin's assistant account. Once the friend permissions on the assistant's account opened, countless people sent friend requests.
When Xu Lin talks about opening a discipleship class, he mentions looking for strong and talented individuals, but many just ignore this and rush to add as friends.
But that's just how people are, as normal as can be.
This means Xu Lin's selection process will be quite troublesome later.
Opening the assistant account, Xu Lin saw thousands of friend requests.
"Damn, so many people? And it's only been a matter of minutes."
"I'll check again tomorrow night."
Xu Lin decided to ignore it for now.
"Is the discipleship class for you to train disciples?"
Chi Linyue was also a bit curious about this.
"Yeah, disciples, but I train them and they earn money for me, so it's mutually beneficial."
Xu Lin just dislikes hassle. Otherwise, he could start a music company to train musicians, commercializing everything in the future.
But that would be very troublesome; having a company means Xu Lin would have to support a large group, deal with a ton of nuisances later, and if anyone in the company causes trouble, he'd have to clean up the mess.
Nowadays, there are so many celebrities who crash and burn. Some may seem decent, but that's just because their private matters haven't come to light yet. Money can corrupt anybody; not many can withstand it.
So Xu Lin finds it troublesome. The returns from running some copyright operations should suffice.
Additionally, at this point, besides music, Xu Lin is also looking at opportunities in movies and TV dramas in the entertainment industry, so the future looks promising, and he will have several sources of income.
Xu Lin mentioned this to Chi Linyue.
Chi Linyue couldn't help but laugh: "You're just trying to avoid hassle!"
"Right."
Xu Lin added: "Are you using the computer?"
"No."
"Then I'll shut it down."
"Okay."
Xu Lin went ahead and turned off the computer.
A moment later, Xu Lin came over to the bed.
Speaking of which, seeing Xu Lin coming over made Chi Linyue's heart beat a bit faster with her cheeks slightly flushed.
The atmosphere became inexplicably quiet, or perhaps a bit awkward.
For someone timid, they might not do anything at all, just leave after turning off the computer. When a man and woman are in a room alone, most feel awkward, especially when it's quiet.
