All-rounder Artist

Chapter 1494: Chapter 1222: The Promotion of Movie Rankings

Actually, after Lin Yuan completed the Shadow task and acquired Master Level Sculpting Skill, he had already practiced in the kitchen.

Using apples.

Using radishes.

Using carrots?

The results were indeed good, but his family never noticed because after Lin Yuan finished practicing, he would quietly eat the practice materials.

Of course.

Today, Lin Yuan was just testing the waters with an apple, and while his family was certainly shocked that he might actually understand sculpting, they weren’t overly surprised.

After all, it was just using an apple to show off knife skills.

Many folk artists can carve flowers with fruit too, quite impressive.

But it was the shock caused by Xian Yu appearing on the dance chart that made netizens exclaim wave after wave, sparking heated discussions across all continents.

And amidst the discussions.

February officially arrived.

On this day.

At midnight.

The various Blue Star charts were finally updated.

Lin Yuan checked on the situation of his three alter egos and found that, besides the normal updates, there was now a comment feature below the charts.

...

Writer chart.

Chu Kuang was still in the tenth place.

However, previously, Chu Kuang, Xu Ping, and Lu Yang were in red-name status.

According to the Literature and Art Association, if there’s a red-name situation before and after on the chart, it means the data for those with red names are very similar.

At this moment, Xu Ping and Lu Yang were still in red-name status, but Chu Kuang’s name had changed to normal black, indicating he successfully pulled away from Xu Ping and Lu Yang.

Comment section of this chart:

"Chu Kuang is out of red-name status, it seems those three short sci-fi stories completely solidified his ranking, for now neither Xu Ping nor Master Lu can threaten his position."

"Now, Chu Kuang is the gatekeeper of the top ten."

"This gatekeeper doesn’t seem easy to mess with."

"Don’t forget Chu Kuang, the old rascal, has seven opponents behind him, meaning Chu Kuang will still publish seven sci-fi works."

"Do you guys think that after releasing all seven works, Chu Kuang might threaten the ninth place?"

...

Music chart.

Xian Yu was still in the eighth place.

This was because the musicians ranked ahead hadn’t made any moves recently.

However, the comment section had many predicting big movements in the future music chart.

The comment section mentioned some gossip:

"The season chart has been revamped now."

"The reason these Maestros haven’t moved much is because their workload has increased, they no longer just write one song for singers, now they basically have to write multiple songs, even produce an album."

"This requires longer preparation time."

"But the influence after an album release will be greater too."

"Isn’t there a rumor lately that Abigail might collaborate with Fei Yang, this Zhong Continent bigwig is preparing to tailor-make a high-quality album for King Fei."

...

Painting chart.

This is the least suspenseful chart.

Of course, no suspense for Shadow, the Painting Soul series dominates the Blue Star painting scene, no one can threaten Shadow’s first place.

And in recent days.

The Shadow Exhibition has already moved to Qin Continent, as per plan, the Shadow Exhibition will tour globally across the eight continents.

"The Shadow God can rest easy."

"The current exhibition point for Shadow Exhibition is the Qin Continent Art Museum, I live nearby, and over there it’s crowded every day, countless visitors."

"This is just the second stop of the global tour."

"Previously due to work I couldn’t visit Zhong Continent, now the exhibition has arrived at Qin Continent as a Qin person I can see the legendary Painting Soul, but the tickets are a bit hard to get, took three days to snag one."

"Go see it, you’ll definitely be amazed!"

...

Film chart.

Xian Yu’s ranking indeed improved.

To be precise, there was a small jump in rank.

Directly went to 34th place.

This was due to the impact of the Harry Potter series movie released this month.

Although the screenplay was adapted from Chu Kuang’s original novel, at least half of the movie’s success credit was counted towards Xian Yu.

"From thirty-eight to thirty-four, Fish Papa’s ranking rose so fast!"

"Heard the second Harry Potter series movie is also being filmed, once the second one is released, Xian Yu’s ranking will definitely improve."

"Mainly because the movie is too popular!"

"Harry Potter is now a top global IP."

"Although thirty-four place is already very high, but looking at Fish Papa’s rankings on the music and dance charts, it just seems okay."

"He’s on three charts alone, absurd!"

...

After checking several charts.

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied.

Although Chu Kuang’s writer ranking didn’t rise, getting out of red-name risk itself represents progress.

But Lin Yuan’s most satisfaction came from the film aspect.

The movie "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone" has been showing for a month now.

Although it’s gradually being pulled from theaters across all continents now, its box office has reached 7.9 billion.

Estimating by the time it fully exits theaters, it should reach around 8 billion.

Originally, there was hope for a higher box office.

However, this movie chose the Spring Festival slot, competition was too fierce, some decent competitors grabbed some of the box office.

Spring Festival slot can be a double-edged sword.

Indeed, there were more audiences than usual, but competition was unprecedentedly fierce.

Fortunately, although it didn’t hit 10 billion, Lin Yuan believes the following Harry Potter series movies can fully aim for 10 billion.

On Earth.

The Harry Potter series movies also accumulated higher box office one by one, an 8 billion starting point is very good.

Of course.

Lin Yuan can’t just wait idly for the Harry Potter series movies to boost his ranking, according to his plan, finishing filming this whole novel would take around eight years; otherwise the age of the three main characters wouldn’t match the plot.

However, eight years is too long.

Lin Yuan can’t just wait foolishly.

So Lin Yuan plans to make some other movies to help Xian Yu’s film ranking improve faster.

What movie to shoot?

Actually, there is a wide range of choices.

For example, he has already made the first film of "Resident Evil," which was very successful, and can fully shoot the second one.

Or perhaps adapt "Wandering Blue Star" into a movie?

Or adapt "The Martian" into a movie?

Moreover, Lin Yuan is considering when to make the famous "The Legend of 1900"?

This movie has always been within his planning scope.

Forget it.

Sleeping first.

Tomorrow in the daytime, go to the company and discuss with Ol’ Zhou.

...

In the morning.

At nine o’clock.

Starlight Entertainment.

Lin Yuan’s office.

Ol’ Zhou slightly pondered and said:

"How about we film ’Resident Evil’ second part first, the audience has been calling for the second part quite strongly, the value of series movies is still very worthy of exploration."

"Isn’t the audience coverage inadequate?"

Lin Yuan remembers that the year this movie was released, Han Continent joined the merger.

In other words.

The audiences of Zhao Continent, Wei Continent, and Zhong Continent may not have seen this movie.

Ol’ Zhou laughed, "Even though when ’Resident Evil’ was released there were three continents without joining the merger, because your achievements in film are getting bigger and bigger, audiences from those three continents later supplemented this movie through archaeological ways; check out our collaboration video sites, the click rate of this movie is very high."

"Alright."

Lin Yuan nodded, "Since the audience base is fine, then let’s shoot the second part of ’Resident Evil’."

There’s indeed many choices for the new movie.

But the lead actress of "Resident Evil" is Xia Fan.

Lin Yuan shooting the second part of the Resident Evil series first can help his childhood friend Xia Fan.

"When can the script be finished?"

"It’s ready."

Lin Yuan smiled and took out the script for "Resident Evil 2."

Ol’ Zhou was a bit stunned, then laughed along, "You and Chu Kuang truly deserve to be good brothers."

"Why say so?"

"Chu Kuang’s novel-writing speed is terrifying, but your screenplay-writing speed, compared to him, also isn’t far behind."
