My landlord is a big star

Chapter 54 54. Alienation
As the sun sets, a person and a dog stroll back and forth in the community.

Looking at the construction around the community, Xu Lin had to admit that Koreans have an inexplicable obsession with the sense of atmosphere.

Similar to ordinary residential areas, green lawns and leisure places are essential. After walking dozens of steps, Xu Lin arrived at a small square that hadn't been seen for a long time. It was so tidy that no one had ever used it.

In the cold spring, except for the residents who walk their dogs, office workers always ignore this place.

During this period of living in South Korea, Xu Lin deeply realized what indifference is, which is completely different from the enthusiasm in China.

Sitting on the bench in the small square, he silently watched the residents returning home from get off work, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

At this point in time in China.
There should be a lot of uncles and aunts chatting about their parents.

Deep in love and homesick, the white fluffy Leo ran around him, sniffing the fresh grass or scratching the dog's head.

Soon, as night fell, Xu Lin took Leo home. After entering the door, he wiped Leo's paws clean according to the usual practice, and let him into the living room, and then he walked directly into the kitchen.

When I miss my hometown, of course I have to eat hometown food. He skillfully boiled noodles, marinated two eggs and a few peppers.

Put the thin noodles and green vegetables into a large bowl, pour the marinade, put eggs and peppers on top, and the beef ban mee is ready.

Don't ask why there is no beef.

Authentic beef pan mee only has a few diced meat.

Xu Lin sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table in the living room, picked up the noodles and blew a couple of breaths, but before he could eat them, his phone rang.

Pick up the cell phone that was thrown on the sofa and answer the call.

"Hello? Mouse, what's the matter?"

It was Lin Hao who was far away in China who made the call. There was no need to beat around the bush between the brothers, he directly explained the reason.

"Hey, I said, yes, you, buddy just woke up today and saw you on the news, how is it, after being famous, you feel good, eh! When will the movie you made be released here?"

"Ah?" Xu Lin paused when he heard this, and quickly asked, "News? What news? I'm on the news with us? Don't lie to me!"

"Why am I lying to you? You don't know how to watch it yourself! Qin Feng and I are celebrating for you by putting skewers outside."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Feng's voice came over.

"Second brother, congratulations, No.3 in the hot search list, good guy, I will appoint you to promote it in the office tomorrow."

"Damn it, wait a minute, both of you!"

Xu Lin, who is currently in a state of confusion, turned his mobile phone to hands-free, picked up the tablet on the coffee table, and clicked on Weibo.

Two trending searches suddenly appeared.

#The youngest newcomer director, Xu Lin#
#My dear, don’t cross that river network resource#
Blinking, Xu Lin stared at the tablet, his mind was buzzing, is the documentary he made popular in China?
But... it's only one day!

Just as he was thinking wildly, Lin Hao's voice sounded again.

"Hey, hey, hey? You're so talkative, you're famous and drink with your brother, right! You won't deny us, will you?"

"What are you talking about? I'm a fool now."

Xu Lin, who was at a loss, did not scold Lin Hao this time, but expressed his true feelings. It is nothing to be popular in South Korea, mainly because he cares about his domestic trending.

That was my hometown, and if it suddenly exploded, my father would be very happy.

Lin Hao and Qin Feng didn't know what he was thinking. They were really happy for Xu Lin. Even Lin Hao, who had never been upright, spoke with some joy, but his voice was still sloppy.

"Hey, I know you're confused, but don't be confused, buddy just ask you one thing, when your movie will be released here, I don't care about anything else, I'm definitely going to book a show for you. "

".Will it be screened at our place?" Xu Lin smiled and shook his head: "I really don't know about it, I haven't thought about it."

"Then think about it now, Qin Feng and I are waiting."

"Huh? Brother Feng also rents out the venue?"

Among the three brothers, Qin Feng's salary is relatively small, but after all, it is within the system and his income is very stable.

I'm afraid it will cost a month's salary to book the venue.
"Fuck me! But I can invite my colleagues to watch a movie. Do you think I'm a rich second generation like Lin Hao?"

"Eh? Why are you still swearing!" Xu Lin said with some jokes in his tone, "I don't know anything now, let's talk about it if it can be shown in China, you two let me take it easy."

"Okay, take your time."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xu Lin put his mobile phone on the coffee table casually, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking about the whole incident.

In fact, the reason is very simple. CJ Entertainment also has theaters in China. At present, the box office of this movie is relatively good in Korea, and Xu Lin is Chinese. Li Quanbin naturally thought of the huge Chinese market. Produced by Lin Lin, CJ Entertainment also has exclusive distribution rights in China, the United States and other regions.

The word "buying hot search" appeared in Xu Lin's mind instantly, followed by his very speechless expression. He and Li Quanbin were cheating on each other, and no one could blame the other. After all, art has no borders.

Silently making a note to Li Quanbin in his heart, Xu Lin picked up the board and sucked it into his mouth with a snort.

"What B movement?"

"Cough cough!" Xu Lin, who was startled by the sound, coughed twice, and looked at the phone with disgust, "Lin Hao, why haven't you hung up the phone yet? Are you really waiting for me to slow down? Are you so persistent?"

"Nonsense, don't forget about your brother when you become famous. When you make a movie again, your brother will invest in you."

"What? Did you argue with your dad again?"

"Hahahaha!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Hao stopped talking, but Qin Feng laughed out loud, causing Xu Lin to grin as well.

Lin Hao's family is unusual, but he is similar to Xu Lin. He doesn't want to rely on his family background to make money. Now he is focusing on investment, but his luck is not very good. He is losing money frequently.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Lin said with a smile: "It's all right, I won't tease you anymore, let's talk about it when I return to China during the summer vacation, my buddy who has a way to make money will definitely not forget you two, don't worry."

"That's what you said! I will definitely invest in your next movie, my old man is really old-fashioned"

What Lin Hao said later, Xu Lin went into his left ear and out of his right ear, and he didn't bother to listen. If others don't understand him, don't he understand it?

Pure dude.

After talking nonsense with the two brothers, after making an appointment to see each other during the summer vacation, I hung up the phone, and Xu Lin began to chatter happily.

But this movie has gained some fame in China. After eating the noodles, before I could catch my breath, my mother called.

Reluctantly, Xu Lin stood up, connected the phone while walking towards the bedroom, and his tone softened.

"Hello? Mom"
-
In March of the Chinese New Year, Dongguk University welcomes freshmen from Korea.

Unexpectedly, many freshmen chose the major of directing, which put a lot of pressure on Professor Jin and other teachers.

When Professor Jin passed by the freshmen who were reporting for the orientation, he could vaguely hear their discussions, which was the film Xu Lin shot.

"Have you heard that Senior Xu's movie has already surpassed 30 viewers, it's really a hit."

"Of course I know, it's only been seven days, Suxiu, do you want to watch it together? Don't you like Senior Xu very much?"

"I'm not going, I've already seen it, and the makeup is all crying."

"Yeah, the director department is making a big splash, and I don't know if I can take Mr. Xu Xuechang's class. I'm looking forward to it."

"What are you thinking, is Senior Xu able to make such an excellent documentary because of his teacher? You have to be talented."

"What a documentary, it's art, art!"

The corner of Professor Jin's mouth twitched when he heard the students talking, and he walked quickly towards his office with his head down. Although it is a good thing that there are many students, it is also a burden if too many freshmen choose the directing department.

She had been troubled with a group of teachers for a long time, and she really didn't know how to arrange classes, because there were too many students who signed up.

Pushing open the door of the office, a teacher looked at Professor Jin, and then began to complain about the number of students.

"Shumin, what should we do, we can't put everyone in our director department, can we?"

"Ha." Jin Shumin closed the door, walked to the desk and said helplessly: "Tomorrow, I will give suggestions to the dean. Don't worry, everyone. I will contact Xu Lin after get off work."

"Don't get off work, just get in touch now. I didn't realize that this kid is talented before. The movie he made is really good."

"Have you gone to see it?"

"Of course, I went to see it with my boyfriend. He cried a lot for a man, but I cried too."

Looking at the appearance of the other teachers in the office, Jin Shumin rubbed her temples helplessly. She is really famous as a student.

The seven-day release of the documentary broke the record of 10 viewers in the history of Korean films. Now it is the No. 13 day of release, and the number of viewers has reached 30, and it is still soaring.

To be honest, while she was happy for Xu Lin, she also had a headache, for fear that he would be overwhelmed by the movie results.

After thinking for a few seconds, Jin Shumin took out her mobile phone, found Xu Lin's number and dialed it.

A group of teachers also gathered around. Two seconds later, the phone was connected, followed by Xu Lin's voice.

"Aniase, Professor Kim min"

The voice was a little tired, and Professor Jin asked, "What's the matter with your voice, you just woke up?"

"Nai, I went to several thank-you meetings yesterday, and it was already two o'clock when I came back, so I didn't sleep well."

"Ah, really, I thought you were sick, and you're fine. Congratulations, Xu Lin. The documentary has already broken the record. In the future, I really have to be called Director Xu. Now even the freshmen are scrambling to sign up for our department."

"Teacher, don't make fun of me. I can only achieve such results thanks to you. I haven't had time to thank you yet."

As soon as these words came out, many teachers raised their heads in astonishment, looked at each other and were speechless, only Professor Jin said cheerfully:

"What are you thankful for? Remember to attend classes on time, you know? Even if you are a great director now, if you don't have enough credits, I won't pass it on to you. Don't even think about graduating from me as a director, you know?"

Although the words were strict, many teachers could still hear the humming in Professor Jin's voice, and they all shook their heads and clicked their tongues.

Xiba!Why don't I have such a student?

"Nai, I will attend class on time, and I will go to school in the afternoon. Don't worry, teacher." Xu Lin's voice came out.

Jealousy can change people beyond recognition, there is no lack of people in the office who dislike Professor Jin, but this time she pretended to be it.

Damn it!What a bad luck!

Although some teachers didn't show it, Jin Shumin could still see their inner unhappiness, an inexplicable sense of comfort burst out in her heart, her mood suddenly improved, and she bragged loudly:
"Okay, come to my office in the afternoon, and I will introduce you to some teachers, which will be helpful for your future studies."

"I know the teacher."

"Hmm~ Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

At the end of the call, the refreshed Professor Jin got up and said with a smile: "Hey Yigu, there are so many new students this year. Everyone must be very busy. I invite everyone to drink coffee to refresh themselves and work hard."

"Ooh! Kim Soo-min! Kim Soo-min!"

"Jin Shumin! Jin Shumin!"

Except for the few professors who looked unhappy, the rest of the teachers were basically cheering for Jin Shumin.

Jin Shumin, who experienced the joy of education, smiled and waved, picked up her bag, and left the office with cheerful steps.

As soon as he went out, a few discordant murmurs sounded.

"Hey! Those who didn't know thought she made the movie."

"It's unlucky for a villain to succeed."

Jin Shumin didn't hear the discussion in the office, but she still bought coffee for those professors who were not dealing with it, and when she returned to the office, she handed the coffee to them with a smile on her face.

People before and after are different, and those professors didn't show it too clearly, and praised Professor Jin a few words against their will.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and Xu Lin, who was wearing a flight jacket and jeans, appeared on the campus, still carrying his precious computer bag on his back, and walked straight to Professor Jin's office.

It's good that he is not famous, but Xu Lin who is famous is really a little uncomfortable with the way others look at him.

It stands to reason that if a movie becomes popular, the director may not necessarily be popular, but for some reason, Xu Lin and his movie became popular together.

Also praised by the Korean media as the youngest, most handsome and most talented director, it can be said that they are boasting.

It's true that Xu Lin didn't like this, but there was nothing he could do about it. These days, the word flattery kept flashing in his mind. The higher he flew, the worse he would fall. This kind of case often happened.

Just thinking about it, he came to the door of the office, and after knocking on the door, Professor Jin cheerfully took him to introduce him to the rest of the teachers in the office, which made Xu Lin feel a little embarrassed.

Then he obediently sat next to Professor Jin, confirmed the courses he would take this semester, and then bowed and left.

Walking on the campus of Dongguo University, Xu Lin, who was regarded as an animal by the freshmen, grinned in embarrassment and quickened his pace instantly.

For some reason, he walked aimlessly into Nanshan Park. The sudden explosion made him a little uncomfortable. Even his own life was quietly changing. For example, Lin Yuner
Sitting on the bench in Nanshan Park, Xu Lin stared at the screen of his mobile phone, but there was no other news on it except the news.

When did you lose contact?

He couldn't remember that Lin Yuner was still congratulating him after the premiere, but as the film's performance got better and better, Lin Yuner seemed to disappear suddenly, and didn't even come to visit Leo.

In the dark, Xu Lin thought of Lin Yun'er teasing him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

Senpai is so cute~
Turn on the phone and swipe to the kakao software page, find the familiar avatar frame and click in.

After typing a line, he silently deleted it. After thinking for a long time, he sent two simple messages.

[Xu Yulin]: Are you busy recently, senior?
[Xu Yulin]: It seems that you haven't seen Leo for a long time.

SM Building, office on the fifth floor.

Lin Yuner, who was carefully reading the renewal contract, was suddenly taken aback because the phone in her pocket vibrated twice.

But she didn't take it out to read, but continued to shift her attention to the contract. After reading all the conditions, Lin Yuner raised her head, and Jiongjiong looked at Minister Li with spirit.

"Minister Li, although it's a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask, the company will let me go to China to shoot film and television works?"

"Of course." Director Li, who was in charge of signing the contract, nodded: "You have been in the company for so many years, Yoona, you should also know that the company is very interested in the film and television industry recently. A few days ago, the high-level meeting unanimously decided to enter the film and television industry. EXO, you They should know each other, the company specially gave them a script."

"." After a moment of silence, Lin Yuner blinked, and after thinking for a few seconds, she quietly asked: "I have heard of it, are they the script lineup? Have you decided on the director and editor?"

"This...is a company secret, so I can't reveal too much, but what I can tell you is that the title of the show has already been decided, and it's called "My Neighbor is EXO". Don't talk nonsense when you go out."

".Huh? The name"

Whether it should be said or not, the title of the play is a bit bursting, Lin Yuner suddenly has a sense of distrust in the company's vision.

However, Minister Li said confidently: "Don't look at the simple title of the play. You should watch the recent "Dear, Don't Cross That River". Considering the current market demand, the obvious title of the play can attract the audience."

"Ahahahaha, inside"

Smiling stiffly, Lin Yuner was full of disdain.

Why should the company touch Xu Lin, a porcelain man!

I don't even look at other people's results.

Picking up the pen for signing, she thought about her needs. Since the company plans to expand the film and television business, she will definitely be able to get the honor. If she goes to another company now, she might not have this kind of treatment.

Not to mention the importance of Girls' Generation in her heart, Lin Yuner signed her name after thinking about it.

Smiling and handing over the contract to Minister Li, Lin Yuner got up to say goodbye, and only picked up the phone after walking out of the office to look at it.

After reading the message from Xu Lin, she pursed her lips, sighed, and struggled for a few seconds before typing a reply.

【Yoona】: I've been busy recently.

【Yoona】: Let's go see Leo again in two days.

It's not that she doesn't miss Leo, it's just that Xu Lin's movies are getting more and more popular, and she doesn't know what identity to face him with.

Sister?actor?landlord?

It seemed unreasonable, especially since she still had a little interest in Xu Lin. Looking at the chat interface, she was cruel and added another sentence.

[Yoona]: In two days, I will go to China to record a program, I'm afraid I don't have time.
