Chapter 44 Writing Genius

Just as my sister said, in the following days, the season rankings turned into a tug-of-war for the championship and runner-up.

 There is always a gap between the two songs.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the increase in "Moonlight" is actually more.

It's a pity that the extra data is not enough for Lin Zhibai to directly catch up with Zhou Hanjin's song. This singer is very tenacious.

at the same time.

Teacher Bracelet is officially online, teaching Lin Zhibai how to sing.

 The teaching location is in a room on the second floor of the villa where Lin Zhibai lives.

 The time is Lin Zhibai’s classes after school in the afternoon, which last about two to three hours a day.

Lin Shouzhuo was very excited. He was very attentive in explaining and taught in simple and easy-to-understand terms. He felt that his relationship with his uncle was getting closer, and he even knew where he lived!

 Over the past few days, the two of them became more and more familiar.

 Hong Bang has already started to call Lin Zhibai "uncle" instead.

Lin Zhibai didn’t care what the bracelet called him. He studied hard while paying attention to the numerical changes in his vocal music.

  “vocal +1”

  “vocal +1”

  “vocal +1”

Every time there is a little progress, Scarlet Red will sound a reminder in Lin Zhibai's mind.

 After a few days.

Lin Zhibai’s vocal score has reached 23.

 Luckily, he can improve his statistics through learning, otherwise he would be able to save up until the end of the year by relying solely on skill points?

 “Uncle’s talent is very high.”

Lin Shouzhuo exclaimed: "Tone deafness is not something that can be easily overcome."

Yes.

Lin Zhibai has now overcome the problem of tone-deafness.

However, Lin Zhibai didn’t think he was very talented, his vocal score was only 23!

Lin Zhibai asked the system specifically. This value is probably equivalent to the singing level of ordinary people.

 When you reach 30 or above, you are the level of Mai Ba among ordinary people, and you can become the most handsome boy in KTV.

 Only those who reach 40 or above can be regarded as amateur singers. If I insist on making an analogy, many anchors who sing well are probably at the level of amateur singers, and some early online singers are also at this level.

 And a company of the level of Shinhwa?

 Even singers who have not yet debuted have a score of at least 50.

There is a long way to go. The data must reach at least 40 before you can publish your own songs.

Lin Zhibai looked at his numerical values ​​and continued to study.

“We said before that you can’t just use your throat when singing, but mainly use your chest to make sounds. I have basically mastered this, but you still need to practice more..."

Bracelet said, Lin Zhibai listened carefully.

 Lin Zhibai knew many things before. After all, he had good musical instrument skills and had been learning composition and arrangement. However, he did not break the bracelet. This little teacher had his own teaching rhythm.

 Besides, she is a professional singer.

After explaining some basic concepts, Bang Bang said with a smile: "Uncle, your voice is good. As long as your singing is not out of tune, it will definitely sound good. Next, we have to practice the mouth, nose and tongue. These three things directly affect the control of breath... "

 We talked like this for three hours.

At the end of today's class, Huan Huan concluded: "I think the biggest difference between singing and composing is that the latter is more theoretical, while the former is more practical, which means that no matter how much you have learned, if you want to really improve, you still have to practice. Under the premise of protecting your voice, practice every morning and evening when you have free time.”

"good."

Lin Zhibai also felt that he needed to practice more frequently.

 …

 Practice is practice.

Lin Zhibai did not forget his own business.

Jiang Cheng called and said that Nathan Bookstore's "Mystery and Suspense" has started to press for manuscripts.

 “Today is already the 16th.”

Jiang Chengdao: “They usually decide what content will be published next month before the 20th.”

"OK."

 Hang up the phone, Lin Zhibai began to select stories from the "Zoo" short story collection.

There are eleven stories in this collection of short stories. Lin Zhibai decided to choose two to write after thinking about them briefly. The first short story he chose is called "Xiaoshi and Yoko".

 Xiaoshi and Yoko are twins.

My mother likes my younger sister Xiaoshi very much, but particularly hates my older sister Yoko, even though the sisters look exactly the same.

 Sister Xiaozhui wears beautiful clothes every day, eats delicious snacks, and has a lot of pocket money. She is pampered like a little princess by her mother.

Sister Yoko, however, wears tattered clothes every day and looks unkempt. She doesn’t have her own bedroom, so she sleeps next to the trash can in the kitchen. There is a random carpet on the floor, and it is difficult to even eat a basic meal.

 Even if Yoko made no mistakes, her mother would always find trouble for her, including but not limited to burning her skin with cigarette butts, stepping on her fingers, pinching her neck, even breaking her teeth, etc...

 Let’s talk about the second short story.

 The second short story Lin Zhibai chose is called "The Spell of God".

The protagonist of this story is "God", who has the super power to do whatever he says.

However, the protagonist’s spell has a drawback:

 That is, once you open your mouth, you cannot recover.

For example, the protagonist once used a spell to cut off his father's fingers when he was extremely angry.

 After his father’s finger was cut off, even the protagonist could not recover it, and his god’s spell could not be reversed.

 This is undoubtedly a fantasy story.

It is very imaginative and the content is very heavy-handed.

 These two short stories together have about 27,000 words.

After all, he was the copywriter, and Lin Zhibai's typing speed was very fast, so it didn't take long to finish it.

 After finishing writing.

Lin Zhibai roughly calculated the royalties:

The price of short stories offered by Nason Bookstore is 2,000 words per 1,000 words. The total manuscript fee for these two stories does not exceed 60,000.

 What is this little money enough for?

Lin Zhibai was not too satisfied.

If these two stories become popular, perhaps the royalties will increase further. It is difficult for a writer to become rich overnight.

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai sent two short stories to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng was a little surprised when he received the story. This time there were two short stories.

“Does the boss want Nathan to choose?” Jiang Cheng asked.

 “Only children make choices, adults want them all.” Lin Zhibai said lightly.

Jiang Cheng laughed.

 The boss seems extremely confident in writing.

However, having learned from the experience of "The Human Chair", Jiang Cheng felt that it was normal for the boss to be confident, so he decided to give it a sneak peek, of course with Lin Zhibai's permission.

Lin Zhibai naturally agreed.

 On the night of reading these two novels one after another—

Jiang Cheng had insomnia.

 He tossed and turned in bed, feeling very complicated.

 My boss seems to be a pervert!

 This was the first thought that naturally came to Jiang Cheng’s mind after reading Lin Zhibai’s new work.

After reading those two stories, it really gave me chills down my spine.

at the same time.

 My boss is very talented!

 This is the conclusion Jiang Cheng came to later.

 The quality of these two stories convinced him that the boss was undoubtedly a writing genius!

Jiang Cheng just couldn't help but wonder, is it that the world of chaebols is too dark and that the boss experienced some bad things when he was a child?

  “Maybe I’m overthinking.”

Jiang Cheng thinks the boss is a very good person.

Although it is hard to see through and sometimes looks a little sinister, after being exposed to it for so long, I still feel very good.

 Maybe it’s because I don’t understand the world of genius.
