My landlord is a big star

Chapter 85 84. Analysis
The summer air is still full of hot and dry breath.

As the night approached, light rain fell from the sky like filaments, and a cold wind blew through the house with a hint of chill.

Xu Lin sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of the sofa, cross-legged, staring at the computer screen in front of him seriously, tapping the keyboard with both hands, silently writing a novel.

Lin Yun'er behind her was lying flat on the sofa, holding up her mobile phone and looking at the content on it, her expression improved a little.

For her, escaping is the best way at the moment. Even though it is a bit inappropriate, she would rather hide in Xu Lin's house than to let her suffer the atmosphere in the team.

Perhaps the boy next to her could bring some comfort to her heart, Lin Yuner's mood immediately calmed down, she reached out to poke Xu Lin's back after being quiet for a while.

"Xu Lin~~ what are you doing?"

"I'm writing a novel of the same name as the movie." Xu Lin said without turning his head: "Some plots cannot be used in movies, and the written expression is not so strict. I plan to release this novel when the movie is released. Hurry up and write, or there will be no time."

"Fiction? Can I read it in advance?" Lin Yuner became interested, she got up and sat down, and asked the boy.

She doesn't usually read novels. Most Koreans like colorful comics, and they rarely read such expressions as words, but Lin Yuner wants to read Xu Lin's works.

It can't be ruled out that it's because the other party is her boyfriend. She knows very well that as a girlfriend, she should care more about him.

And Xu Lin paused after hearing her words, turned around and looked at her with a slightly cold expression on his face.

"Don't you like reading novels? Besides, I wrote them in a rather sloppy manner. Most of them are translated from Chinese to Korean. I'm not very good at writing. Are you sure you want to read them?"

"Let me see." Lin Yuner nodded seriously: "You publish the book to let others see Jin Zhiying's real life, and I can be your first reader."

"Then wait for me for a while." Xu Lin turned to the computer screen and said, "I'll organize the article and show it to you."

"Okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

It's still early, Lin Yun'er doesn't want to put pressure on him.

A novel is different from a movie. The images shot in a movie are fixed, while the content of a novel can be modified.

The most important thing is that when Xu Lin is writing, it is inevitable that there will be typos or translation errors. Originally, these are errors that need to be checked when publishing the book. Since Lin Yuner is willing to read it, he doesn't mind asking this girl to check it for him. .

Idle is idle, why not let her do something to divert her attention, maybe she can change her mood, and if she is fascinated by reading novels, she can forget about those messy things.

It took nearly ten minutes for Xu Lin to sort out all the manuscripts. After connecting the mobile phone to the computer, he passed the manuscripts in. He turned around and handed the mobile phone to the other party with a smile.

"Okay, I'll open the software for you. It's the novel I wrote. Tell me what you think after reading it."

"Huh? Let me tell you how I feel."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun'er immediately froze, she just wanted to divert her attention, and didn't want to talk about her impressions after reading.

On the contrary, it was Xu Lin, who looked at the pouting Lin Yuner with a serious face, raised his arms around his chest with a straight face, and his cold and serious face gave the other party a lot of oppression.

There is no way, Lin Yuner took the phone wronged, stared at him secretly dissatisfied, but said honestly:
"Got it... just say it."

"Read more carefully, and read more novels to substituting emotions, and it can also improve your acting skills." Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

The reason is this, most readers read the novel will substitute the role, the encounter of the protagonist is as if they were on the scene, so that they can understand the mentality of the protagonist at that time.

I have read a lot of novels, and I can grasp my emotions very well, so I can prove that novels are really helpful to acting skills.

Lin Yun'er curled her lips, forcing herself to concentrate, and leaned back to look at the phone screen.

"Jin Zhiying Born in 82" is a novel. When Xu Lin wrote it, he used Jin Zhiying's memory as the main axis of the narrative, imagining Jin Zhiying's peaceful and depressed life.

The short time of the film is not enough to express the content clearly. Xu Lin’s novel is not rich in content, but it is enough to resonate with people. For example, the best things are given to the younger brother first, and Jin Zhiying and sister can only enjoy the rest. The elder sister shared a room, and the quilt was broken and so on.

When she was in elementary school, young Jin Zhiying was bullied by boys. After telling the teacher, the teacher smiled and turned the big thing into a small one, and told her not to make a big deal out of a molehill.

And middle school is even darker, growing older is accompanied by physical development. When Jin Zhiying took the subway or bus to school, he had to be careful. There are even male teachers in the school who like to play with female students, but they often choose to swallow their anger.

After graduating from university and entering the company to work, Jin Zhiying had to endure dirty jokes from clients, endless persuasion and table manners when she was socializing after get off work.

Lin Yuner read carefully, Xu Lin got up and sat on the sofa beside her, carefully observing her expression.

I found her frowning sometimes, sometimes calmly, with extremely rich expressions on her face, her slender fingers slowly sliding the phone screen, and finally lay on Xu Lin's lap to watch.

"Xu Lin, how did you come up with such a plot?"

When she said this, Lin Yuner was still staring at the screen, her attention was completely focused on the text.

And Xu Lin, who was playing with her hair, stroked her delicate face, and said calmly: "This kind of concept is easy to think about. Although I haven't experienced it, I know it."

Seeing her nodding slightly, Xu Lin added: "In fact, this kind of phenomenon often occurs in Asia, and it is a dross, but I didn't expect it to be so serious in your country."

"Are you saying patriarchal?" Lin Yuner finally glanced at him and said, "It can't be so absolute, at least it doesn't happen in my family, my dad is very kind to me and O'Neill, maybe me and O'Neill are both girls My child, I don't know much about the situation at home, but you write really well when you write about school."

The biggest specialty of Korea, apart from arrogance, is school bullying. There are no bullying plots in movies or TV dramas, and Koreans don’t believe in such plots at all.

For Koreans, it is impossible to go to school without bullying. It is more bullshit than bullshit.

Xu Lin who was praised was a little stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Yun'er, have you ever been bullied by your classmates?"

"Well, I'm alright." Lin Yuner narrated: "Because she joined the company when she was very young and spent very little time in school, so there is no such thing as being bullied."

"...Ah, what about in the company? I remember trainees also being bullied, right?"

"Hey Yigu, what are you thinking? Our company didn't have so many trainees at that time, and we didn't have any money. A group of us huddled together in a small practice room to learn dance, and there was no bullying."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuner grinned, raised her hand and pinched Xu Lin's face, the conversation suddenly changed, and said:
"But it's hard to say now. The company has become famous, and the number of trainees has gradually increased. There will definitely be bullying. Anyway, Chinese trainees must be having a hard time now."

"Oh, it has nothing to do with me. I can only say that I chose the road myself." Xu Lin smiled helplessly.

Lin Yuner told him about the general situation before, the current situation of SM company is not good, and the Chinese trainees are under strict supervision. After all, there are lessons learned from the past, and the company does not want to lose money all the time.

Lin Yun'er who heard this sighed, and didn't continue to read the novel, she planned to read it at night.

Ever since, she shrank into Xu Lin's arms delicately, grabbed the other's big hand and pressed it gently.

"Recently, I'm really depressed to death. The company is in a mess. It would be great if I could hide from you all the time."

"……Um?"

Xu Lin sensed something was wrong from her words, so he didn't ask her directly, but looked at the girl in his arms tenderly, raised his palm and gently helped her tidy up her messy hair.

"You can stay as long as you want. You can put your work aside for a while. At worst, I'll make a movie to support you."

"...Forget it." Lin Yuner shook her head with a smile and said, "I can earn money by myself, why should you support me?"

She felt sweet in her heart when she heard these words, but she is not a weak girl. You must know that she earns enough money to buy a house in Seoul with all the money, and she is a proper little rich woman.

Compared with this, she has more important things to ask Xu Lin, but she is a little embarrassed to say so.

Looking at the girl in his arms who hesitated to speak, Xu Lin patted her on the back, waited for her to leave his arms and asked with a smile:
"Are you looking for me? Don't deny it. You've never shown me this kind of expression. There must be something!"

"Cough...it's a small matter."

Lin Yun'er smiled, but didn't hold back any more. After holding Xu Lin's hand, she asked a few words with a troubled face:

"Xu Lin, your family is in business, so can you find a professional to help me see Xiuyan Ouni's brand? I think it's still too late, and I want to persuade her."

"...you mean the brand she built?"

"Yes, it's called Xiaodihao. There should be information in my mailbox, but I haven't had time to clean it up yet."

"Why are you looking for someone else? I can help you." Xu Lin was very confident. Although he didn't understand why Lin Yuner did this, since she said it, he would definitely help.

But Lin Yuner didn't seem to believe Xu Lin very much, she looked him up and down suspiciously, and asked tentatively:
"You know business too?"

"...No, you look down on me?" Xu Lin said very angrily, "Do you understand what it means to be influenced by your ears?!"

"Well, I've never heard of this idiom."

"..." Xu Lin opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Sincerity is always a must-kill skill, Lin Yuner has never heard of it, because the idioms in her country are all stolen and reformed.

Although the meaning was the same, there was a change after all, and Xu Lin didn't bother to explain to her. He couldn't complain about this country in front of the other party, after all, she was Korean.

Adhering to the idea that the enemy can't move and I can't move, Xu Lin sat on the sofa speechlessly, kept his mouth shut, and didn't speak to her.

This made Lin Yun'er very anxious, she was afraid that this guy would suddenly get angry and would not help her, so she leaned over with a pitiful look on purpose, blinked and shook his arm.

"Help me~~~ Apart from you, I really can't think of anyone to ask for help, how about a kiss?"

With that said, Lin Yuner leaned over.

But beauty has no effect on Xu Lin, he raised his hand to touch Lin Yuner's forehead, with a straight face, said unhappily:

"Don't you believe me? How can I help you? Please, I have a bottom line, let's talk about it."

"...Are you really angry?"

"Ha, why am I angry, really."

Xu Lin, who deliberately spoke ironically, looked disdainful.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yun'er's heart tightened immediately, she pursed her lips, straightened her upper body, leaned towards his ear and said a few words, then saw Xu Lin's eyes lit up, and asked:
"Really? Don't lie to me, or I will be really angry. I don't like to joke about this kind of thing!"

"Oh! Really, hurry up!" Lin Yuner gently pushed his arm, her face shy.

After hearing this, Xu Lin immediately cheered up, his eyes unconsciously bent into crescents, raised his eyebrows at Lin Yuner, pointed to the computer on the coffee table and said:
"Cough! Go, get me the computer, and I'll analyze it for you. It's definitely all right."

"This is your bottom line? Hmph."

Humming twice, Lin Yuner still brought the computer over to him, then sat behind him and looked at it.

She doesn't understand business matters. As the so-called art industry has specialization, Xu Lin's family is in business, so she can't be said to be very familiar with business matters, but it should be no problem to avoid risks.

After logging into her email on the computer, Xu Lin stared intently at the content on the screen.

There is absolutely a discrepancy between the idea and the reality. Looking at the information obtained so far, Xu Lin sneered and shook his head.

"Naive plan."

"Ah? Don't you think so?" Lin Yun'er put her chin on his shoulder and muttered.

"It's not that it's not optimistic, it's simply unrealistic."

Xu Lin turned his head, and suddenly kissed her on the cheek. Before she could speak, he analyzed seriously:
"First of all, this plan has not been implemented yet, and there are no samples of funds. If I were a businessman, I would definitely not be in a hurry to invest money in it, because I can't see the benefits."

"So as long as the funds arrive, everything will be fine?"

Lin Yun'er asked, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, as if she was full of confidence in something, Girls' Generation is not short of money.

But Xu Lin didn't think it was enough to invest money. Shen Sheng analyzed: "It is not enough to invest money. Commercial brands rely on popularity. Assuming this brand is really made, then do you think who will buy this kind of brand except fans?" Brand? I won’t buy it anyway.”

"Not necessarily." Lin Yuner tried to restore the image: "What if this brand becomes popular, many artists now have their own stores, I think the sales volume is okay."

"That's right, you said it's a store, not a brand. If it were me, I would definitely choose a well-known brand. I'm afraid only fans will like this kind of thing, and it's useless to look good."

Instead of attacking Lin Yun'er bluntly, Xu Lin chose to speak euphemistically, and he didn't bother to say even worse things.

To put it bluntly, this brand is no different from idols. The worst thing to say is that they are cutting off fans. After all, the premise of starting from scratch is to do a good job in market research.

Even if the brand is on the market, so what, no one will buy it or no one will buy it. Is it not good to buy a big brand with this money?
Relying on one's own fame to give brand value, this concept can only be paid by fans in any market.

Without exception.

These words made Lin Yun'er shut up, she was not stupid, she could understand what Xu Lin meant, although she really wanted to refute, but she couldn't find any excuse, what he said was indeed reasonable.

After a moment of silence, she rubbed her face against Xu Lin's, and said with a tangled expression:

"Is this brand really bad?"

"Well, no." Xu Lin nodded: "It's okay to be a peripheral, but it's a dream to be a brand."

After speaking, Xu Lin clicked on the webpage and searched for news, nuzui motioned Lin Yuner to read it, and said:
"Look at the news. From the beginning of the new year to the present, there has been a lot of news about SM companies. Each group has a different problem. Do you think your company dares to take risks?"

"...I shouldn't dare." Lin Yun'er rolled her eyes at the screen, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

Leaving aside the news of SM idols dating, the group members terminated their contracts, and the newly launched group was attacked wildly by the fans of the seniors. Under such circumstances, SM has no energy to invest in the brand.

The company's top management must want to stabilize the reputation, because those blood-sucking contracts have already been exposed.

Now when building a brand, SM will at most give verbal support, and the focus must definitely be on new combinations and changing reputations. What businessmen care about is profit, and this brand obviously doesn’t make much money.

Therefore, SM will not take the so-called fashion brands too seriously. Thinking of these, Xu Lin said bluntly:
"If you can give up, it's better to give up. Unless your company's brain is bad, they will definitely be able to distinguish the benefits of cutting leeks from the new combination. Brands are not so easy to do."

Investing in new portfolios, SM can get obvious benefits, because this is the company's old business, investing in brands can't see the benefits, and it may lose money, you can tell which is more important.

Lin Yuner who wanted to understand sighed, left behind him, and lay lazily on the sofa.

"You're right. If I were a businessman, I would also choose to invest in Ryder Beibei. Xiuyan O'Neil is a little addicted to it, and I don't know how to tell her."

"...Redbebe?" Xu Lin was stunned, and complained speechlessly: "What the hell name..."

"It's redvelvet." Lin Yuner corrected her pronunciation.

"..."

On the other hand, Xu Lin was silent. The Korean pronunciation made him unable to recognize the name of the group. Now he finally heard it clearly. The translated words were nothing more than red velvet silk.

Although he doesn't understand, he finds it interesting, after all, SM rarely takes such a normal name.

But he didn't care too much. Instead of paying attention to those groups, Xu Lin now wants to focus on his work and let the movie be released as soon as possible.

Putting the computer on his lap, he silently started to make plans, while Lin Yuner read the novel.

The time soon came to [-]:[-] pm, and it was impossible to cook. The two of them who had eaten takeaway watched a movie. After watching it for a while, Lin Yuner got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

While she was taking a shower, Xu Lin received a call from a staff member asking him to go to the company tomorrow.

After a brief chat, Xu Lin hung up the phone, returned to the bedroom with his notebook in his arms, lay down on the big bed, and waited for Lin Yuner's arrival. After waiting for about an hour, the bedroom door opened.

Lin Yun'er, who was wearing a bathrobe, walked in, her face was slightly red, and a fresh breath flowed in the air.

"Xu Lin...I suddenly regret it."

"It's useless to regret! Come here!" Xu Lin patted the place beside him impatiently.

With two long legs, Lin Yun'er walked to the side of the bed, sat down carefully and then lay down her thin body.

Her clear eyes were covered with mist, and Xu Lin couldn't help feeling pity for her beautiful appearance.

"Yun'er, come closer to me, or I can't do it."

"...En." Lin Yun'er nodded, stood up and said at the same time: "Should we start now? I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

"It's okay! I'm not afraid of pain!"

"Oh."

Lin Yun'er stood up and slowly approached him. Seeing Xu Lin who was already lying down, she raised her exquisite little foot and stepped on it.

"I'm not very good at stepping on my back, remember to tell me if it hurts."

"Don't worry! It doesn't hurt, step on me..."

Xu Lin grinned impatiently, and in the next second, he felt Lin Yuner's weight, which can only be said to be very light.

But that cold feeling on the back...

So comfortable!
