Chapter 420

What? What? What?

In the blink of an eye, it's already 1 million. If they weren't sure it was Xia Yu on the other side, they would have thought they encountered a telecom scam!

Congratulations to Brother Xia Yu for becoming the newest sucker!

"Oh my god! This is almost my annual salary!" Zhu Zhu Xudan exclaimed, caught between laughter and tears.

As an artist under Jiaxing, she actually doesn't earn as much as everyone imagines.

Most of it has to be handed over to the company, and the remaining part has to cover daily expenses. It's not bad if she can save 500,000 a year.

Even Yang Jinli was like that back in the day. When she was working for Rocket Girls 101, she earned billions for the company, but it took her a full three or four years to buy a house.

It's not as easy as everyone imagines. Although the money is earned simply, a lot of it is split away.

It's not like Lin Yu, who, with a wave of his hand and a breath, can just write a few characters and get 1 million instantly.

"That's almost 120,000 per character!"

Sister Sister Reba counted on her little fingers, looking dazed and cute.

My god!

Although this isn't quite "a thousand gold per character," it definitely refreshed Sister Sister Reba's values.

Is money really this easy to earn?

Maybe she should just cling to Lin Yu from now on and let him support her. Why struggle so hard?

"Thanks for the appreciation, Brother Xia Yu. Actually, if it weren't for the audience and fans, I would never have debuted in the entertainment industry. My dream is to just peacefully write calligraphy and drink tea in a thatched cottage."

Lin Yu's expression of "getting the benefit while still acting innocent" made Sister Sister Reba and Zhu Zhu Xudan burst into laughter.

Blow! Just keep blowing!

Even Lin Yu doesn't drink zero-degree cola, so he can peacefully drink tea? Not even a ghost would believe you.

"Since Brother Xia Yu has come to the livestream, I'll write another piece!"

"The previous one is still for Sister Sister Jinglei!"

"Sister Sister Jinglei, there's nothing in this trash can, it's not dirty."

As Lin Yu spoke, he even put the trash can on the table to show everyone.

Actually, Xu Sister Jinglei didn't care at all whether it was dirty or not; what she wanted was the vigorous and powerful brushwork.

If she looks at it more every day, maybe she'll have new ideas for her own brushwork.

Xu Sister Jinglei also made up her mind: if there's a recording of this livestream, she must watch Lin Yu's brushwork method repeatedly.

The rhythm of Lin Yu's brushwork is indeed different from the great calligraphers of the Calligraphy Association—it's more natural and more relaxed.

And that bastard Xia Yu, she'll go have a word with Yuan Quan when she gets the chance.

This behavior is just too infuriating!

"Really? You'll write one just for me?"

"Then I'm not leaving!"

Xia Yu posted another bullet comment.

He had just come back from skateboarding, covered in sweat, and it was his wife Yuan Quan who reminded him to watch Lin Yu's livestream.

He didn't know until he watched; he was shocked once he did.

He only took one glance and couldn't pull himself away.

This guy Lin Yu is just too awesome!

Xia Yu has been immersed in the calligraphy world for twenty years and simply couldn't resist this kind of regular script.

When he heard Lin Yu say he could also imitate Song Song Huizong's handwriting, he was so shocked that the hair on his body stood up. He couldn't wait to run to the Jiaxing Media company right now and watch Lin Yu write with his own eyes.

"Wait a minute."

"Brother Lin Yu, why don't we connect via video?"

Xia Yu suddenly thought,

looking at Lin Yu's brushwork just now, he must have a lot of insights into calligraphy.

Why do many calligraphy masters hold exchange meetings? It's actually not to show off, but to discuss the state of mind and emotions when writing, as well as daily habits, etc.

This would be a huge improvement for both of them.

If he connects directly with Lin Yu and chats on the spot about the imitation techniques of Song Song Huizong's Slender Gold script, there might be unexpected gains.

"Okay! Brother Xia Yu!"

Lin Yu nodded and readily agreed.

Although he had already maxed out his calligraphy imitation skills, he actually knew very little about the calligraphy circle and didn't know that so many big names in the entertainment industry were into this.

Could it be that he's going to accidentally enter the Beijing circle through calligraphy?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu instantly perked up, rolled up his sleeves, and looked full of energy.

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you hear me?"

Xia Yu is a native of Qingdao, but having lived in Yanjing for many years, he already has a bit of a Beijing accent.

Xia Yu is definitely one of the powerful actors that Lin Yu recognizes.

Venice Best Actor, Singapore Best Actor, Golden Horse Best Actor, Golden Rooster Best Actor—Xia Yu basically reached his peak upon debut and has won all the awards he should have.

That's what you call playing the game of life; after winning Best Actor, he married a beautiful wife, and spends his days with music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, traveling the world. That's the standard for the ceiling of life!

"I can hear you, I can hear you!"

"Hello, Brother Xia Yu! What have you been busy with lately?"

"Any new movies?"

Lin Yu waved kindly at the camera on the other side.

There were a lot of people, so there was a slight lag during the video connection.

"Me? I've been filming Director Wu's 'Creation of the Gods' lately. There's an international calligraphy competition coming up soon, so I'm here to steal some tips from you!"

Xia Yu is also quite emotionally intelligent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to win the heart of the school beauty of Beijing Film Academy back then!

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

Hearing this, the two exchanged pleasantries.

Talking to someone with high emotional intelligence is just refreshing.

Sister Sister Reba and Zhu Zhu Xudan also hurriedly greeted Xia Yu; he is definitely a senior in the circle.

"What should I write, Brother Xia Yu?"

"Anything is fine, whatever is convenient for you."

"Then I'll wish you and Sister Yuan Quan a harmonious union for a hundred years, with hearts forever linked."

While speaking,

Lin Yu picked up the brush again and dipped it into the ink on the inkstone.

"Brother Xia Yu, you must know the saying that Jin dynasty calligraphy focuses on charm, Tang dynasty calligraphy focuses on rules, and Song dynasty calligraphy focuses on meaning."

This sentence from Lin Yu instantly raised the level of the livestream.

Xia Yu's eyes flashed, and he nodded in surprise.

Good heavens, if you didn't see this youthful face, you would definitely think this was something said by an old man who had been obsessed with calligraphy his whole life.

"Exactly! Calligraphy in the Tang and Song periods basically emphasized charm, style, and legal norms, while the Song dynasty clearly had further development and breakthroughs, not being constrained by ancient methods, expressing emotions and interests."

"Many people like Song Song Huizong's Slender Gold script because it focuses on a free and comfortable atmosphere."

Xia Yu introduced it concisely.

The livestream exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Is this still the Lin Yu I know? My impression is still stuck on the image of him putting his underwear on Director Yao! How did he suddenly become so elegant and high-class? Which step did I miss?"

"Damn, this is like taking a nap and looking up to see a blackboard full of problems. Unknowingly, it seems like Lin Yu has grown up, while I'm still stuck in place. I'm ashamed!"

"You can be uncivilized, but you can't be uncultured."

"Hahahaha! This sentence made me laugh."

"Don't say that, Lin Yu really understands. This one sentence basically shows his calligraphy knowledge base, and he even let Brother Xia Yu explain it. This emotional intelligence is truly unmatched."

"Compared to Lin Yu, I'm simply a sinner! I'm the type who turns the table when the leader picks up food, touches the tiles when the leader is waiting for a hand, hits the brakes when the leader drinks water, and cuts the song when the leader is singing karaoke. I really should learn emotional intelligence from Lin Yu."

"Hahahaha, big brother, you haven't reached the stage of learning emotional intelligence yet, learn how to be a person first!"

"Buddy knows how to play, I've noted it down. If I ever want to quit my job, I'll do exactly as you said."

"Holy crap... what is this?"
