System: Master Your Life-Chapter 763 - 190: Young Master Xu Is About to Shake the World Again! (Part 3)
Xu Lin didn’t continue the topic.
After the evening self-study session ended, Xu Lin left the school with Rong Xiyi.
There was no choice; this girl hadn’t been with Xu Lin for a long time, so tonight he had to take care of her.
In the following days, Xu Lin attended classes at school obediently and returned to his rented house at night to teach his new apprentices online.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it was Friday.
During class, Xu Lin would occasionally be watched by junior classmates.
Like in those youth idol dramas, girls would sneak a peek at the most handsome boy in school, whisper by the window that it’s someone-so-and-so, and he’s so handsome, and then chatter away, this boy doesn’t care about anyone, and eventually one very poor but hardworking girl catches his eye, and the two end up together.
Of course, there also needs to be a wealthy and beautiful girl who thinks she should win the man, only to lose to an ugly duckling.
These days, Xu Lin was often asked for his WeChat.
But this wasn’t a youth idol drama.
Girls weren’t as proactive as Ning Yuhuan when Xu Lin hadn’t yet become successful; no matter how pretty they were, they’d miss the chance.
Xu Lin was picky about girls; simply being pretty wasn’t enough to catch his eye. In fact, these younger girls held no attraction for him.
You must have ability, your own unique traits, or some kind of status addition; Xu Lin’s standards for girls are high. He now has complete qualifications as a resource controller and can randomly choose beauties.
However, he’s usually quite busy and sometimes doesn’t even want to communicate with girls.
On Friday night, Xu Lin returned home.
Speaking of which, today was the sixth day since the new paper was sent to "TPAMI."
Any reply?
Xu Lin checked, and his email showed that they had indeed received it; presumably, the review had begun. However, he wasn’t sure when it started or when it would be approved.
The next day was Saturday; Xu Lin didn’t go out today but stayed home alone to teach his apprentices online.
Recently, a few apprentices had been performing excellently, preparing to release new songs, and Xu Lin intended for them to make an appearance.
It was around three in the afternoon.
Finally, "TPAMI" sent a response.
English.
Translation to Chinese: Esteemed Young Master Xu, we’re delighted that you could submit to our journal again. We are very impressed by your new research; this study is undoubtedly revolutionary in the field of artificial intelligence...
There were hundreds of words after that.
Xu Lin read the last sentence: We will publish this achievement globally at noon in North America on Monday!
Noon on Monday in North America is four a.m. the next day here.
That means Tuesday early morning.
"Exactly seven days, not bad."
Seeing the paper approved, Xu Lin felt increasingly good.
That night, he had dinner with Ning Yuhuan.
The next morning, he set off to attend Miss Maybach’s wrap-up party.
The filming of this drama lasted half a year and had finally wrapped.
"I wonder if it will be a hit?"
Xu Lin was quite lacking in money, the kind for small goals.
Small money didn’t interest him; otherwise, training artificial intelligence wouldn’t be affordable.
At the wrap-up party, Xu Lin took photos with many celebrities and staff, whether they’ll upload them online. Xu Lin didn’t care anymore because basically, those who follow him know what he looks like, so there was no need to continue to deceive oneself.
But Xu Lin wouldn’t post his photos on his account.
He wouldn’t become a public figure.
Quite simply, Xu Lin doesn’t want the media to influence his life; in addition, public figures have moral expectations, while Xu Lin needs to study other moral aspects, apart from patriotism, such as having several women.
Sure enough, on the day of the wrap-up party, Xu Lin’s photos from the banquet were circulated widely.
Speaking of which, the atmosphere in these photos was quite festive; some celebrities even edited them, and the photos were very beautiful.
Actually, Xu Lin was photogenic and didn’t need retouching.
However, celebrities need editing, especially females.
Female celebrities, in Xu Lin’s view, are just that, not particularly pretty; candid shots are not as nice as edited ones.
Or perhaps it’s a matter of height.
For instance, Dilraba is 168cm tall and feels uneasy standing next to Xu Lin without ten-centimeter high heels.
Xu Lin is 190cm, and with shoes, he stands even taller.
That’s why Xu Lin has to bend over when taking pictures with female celebrities; within the circle, female celebrities actually rarely exceed 170cm in height.
All good things must come to an end, and Miss Maybach’s wrap-up party concluded just like that.
Some people who had been together for half a year were parting ways, breaking down in tears.
Xu Lin didn’t feel much, but he was glad he wouldn’t have to run to this film set anymore.
On Monday, Xu Lin didn’t go to class but drove to Hengdian, setting off at dawn and arriving in the morning.
Xu Lin was the head screenwriter, responsible for overseeing the script, such as revising the dialogue.
Although Xu Lin rarely went, he was a master at cheat codes, crafting strong dialogue that other screenwriters or actors couldn’t easily alter because, indeed, there was seemingly no better option, or very rarely. Mr. Xu’s words were truly worth their weight in gold, leaving screenwriters in awe.
There used to be a Hong Kong movie called "A Knife to the City," about Tan Sitong’s story; the lines were very well done.
This demonstrates the prowess of a top-notch screenwriter; excellent dialogue can still be appreciated decades later.
Xu Lin’s creations are top-tier dialogue, difficult for others to alter, and even if they tried, it would be hard to find something better.
