All-rounder Artist

Some film companies do this.

But it usually happens when it comes to promoting arthouse films.

Having decided on this course of action, the post-production of “Hachiko” became the top priority for the company’s film department in the short term. The best of the post-production resources were earmarked for the film, as there were no other concurrent film projects within the company.

Generally, Starlight still seems to prioritize music, as it’s not possible to ramp up film production in just a year or two.

Lin Yuan can’t really contribute much anymore.

His requests during the filming period have been fulfilled by the production team. All he needs to do now is wait. During this idle time, he started writing his serialized Hercule Poirot Series again.

Now it is October, and several stories of the Hercule Poirot Series have been published.

Although in the eyes of the outsiders, Chu Kuang’s Hercule Poirot Series have never produced a classic detective tale on the level of “Murder on the Orient Express”, it’s natural.

Does every piece by Su Shi reach the level of “How Long Will the Full Moon Last”?

Often, one peak is more than enough.

As long as the overall quality of the Hercule Poirot Series is ensured, readers will continue to be interested.

This assertion is evident from the consistently strong sales of the series.

Throughout the serialization of the Hercule Poirot Series, the fictional detective Poirot, created by Chu Kuang, has already gained a firm place in people’s hearts.

Awhile back, there was a gruesome murder case. The police swiftly solved it, and many netizens commented that the investigative officer was as brilliant as Hercule Poirot, which demonstrates people’s recognition of Poirot’s deductive abilities—

And that’s also a kind of recognition for the officer who quickly solved the case.

Netizens in the Celestial Dynasty should be no stranger to such an expression.

Many people would use “possessed by Sherlock Holmes” to describe someone who suddenly shows wisdom.

There are similar descriptions such as “possessed by Conan”, which further confirms people’s acceptance of Poirot.

In addition,

News from some film companies suggested that they were preparing to make a movie based on the Hercule Poirot Series and were currently busy casting. All these have helped to boost Poirot’s fame.

Apart from this,

Since Chu Kuang has made it clear that he will continue to serialize the Hercule Poirot Series, there are also production companies interested in buying the TV rights for Poirot, apparently intending to create a TV series named after Poirot.

Lin Yuan agreed to this.

If the Hercule Poirot Series is made into a television series, it can be filmed for many seasons. Based on the parts already serialized, the plot has enough material for the first season.

Sherlock Holmes gained worldwide fame through these sorts of adaptations.

Lin Yuan couldn’t possibly achieve all these accomplishments on his own.

Since he has the determination to develop Poirot, he naturally couldn’t refuse the potential influence of turning his novels into films and TV series.

Just like how “Harry Potter”‘s literary influence has spread all over the world with the help of movies.

There are too many successful cases of similar promotions. These adaptations are needed to break the limitation of text.

…

As Chu Kuang’s alias appears to be stable and thriving, the situation with Shadow is also quite good.

With the serialization of the comic, “Death Note” has firmly secured its position as one of the three mainstays of Tribe Comics, thanks to the combined influence of the art style and plot.

As for Lin Yuan, he has finally decided to fulfil his promise and officially teach Luo Wei traditional Chinese painting!

Upon hearing this news, Luo Wei was so excited: “Are you teaching me now?”

“Right now.”

“Death Note” was just uploaded for continued serialization today, and Lin Yuan happens to be free, enough to teach for quite a while.

“I’m ready!”

Luo Wei took out the tools for painting and sat properly, looking at Lin Yuan with a solemn look.

Lin Yuan nodded: “Let’s begin then.”

Lin Yuan then picked up his brush.

Tutoring art is different from tutorsing music composition. No need for a character card possession, Lin Yuan himself is a top-master in the art world. With the help of the Teacher’s Halo, tutoring Luo Wei is not a bother at all.

The time for teaching art passed little by little.

Half an hour later,

Luo Wei looked at Lin Yuan in a daze, her emotions roller-coasting.

After witnessing Lin Yuan’s painting skills, Luo Wei had always been grateful for choosing to be Lin Yuan’s assistant.

But it was only after officially learning Chinese painting from Lin Yuan that she realized her decision was a turning point in her life!

No matter how many years have passed, she will always be grateful for the decision to be Lin Yuan’s assistant.

Lin Yuan is such a good teacher!

You must know that Luo Wei has sought advice from many famous artists to improve her painting skills, including several old timers in the world of Chinese painting.

However, none of these master artists of Chinese painting could offer Luo Wei comprehensive guidance. By just learning from Lin Yuan for a short while, Luo Wei felt that many problems she couldn’t solve before have been clearly addressed!

And when two hours had passed,

Luo Wei felt a strange sensation, which was vivid and strong, deep in her heart: “I think…I’ve gotten stronger…”

“Keep practicing on your own,”

Lin Yuan said. “I’ll teach you some comic techniques tomorrow.”

“I have to learn about comics too?”

“How else are you going to ghostwrite for me?”

“I understand, Teacher…” Luo Wei smiled softly.

Shadow is still the same lazy Shadow.

It’s just that her recent level of comic illustration can’t keep up with Lin Yuan’s, so she’s been the one doing all the drawing.

In order to continue being lazy, he even plans to improve her comic drawing skills to keep co-writing some of the content for him.

However, Luo Wei enjoys the feeling of improving her skills, so she doesn’t mind.

“Teacher, here’s your tea.”

After a while, Luo Wei even prepared a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Lin Yuan.

Not thinking too much of it, Lin Yuan just drank the tea. However, he didn’t expect Luo Wei to suddenly bow three times towards him.

“Ding Dong.”

The system notification read, “Congratulations, you have taken a new apprentice. This apprentice is very good at drawing, please cultivate her well.”

“What’s going on?”

Lin Yuan looked at Luo Wei.

“It’s a ceremony for accepting me as a disciple.”

Luo Wei stated earnestly, “Teacher drank my tea, taught me how to paint, and accepted my three bows. From now on, I am your good apprentice. This wasn’t formal, though. Tomorrow, I’d like to invite friends and elders from the art circles to witness.”

“No need,”

Lin Yuan simply answered. He is not a person who likes complications.

The system has recognized it, so the disciple is unquestionably accepted.

Furthermore, Luo Wei has a high talent for painting and will certainly help Lin Yuan earn many prestige points in the future. There’s no reason to push her away.

It’s just that he had already promised Luo Wei that he would teach her how to paint. Today, he was merely fulfilling his promise, so he had never thought about taking on a disciple.

“Hello, Master.”

Luo Wei smiled sweetly, “If Master takes any new disciples in the future, I’ll be the senior disciple. I love the feeling of being number one!”

“No,”

Lin Yuan said, “You’re the junior disciple.”

Luo Wei: “???”
