Chapter 79 Xu Jinyan and Lin Yuan
This is how Xu Jinyan and Lin Yuan's first public interaction took place.
His main purpose in doing so was to introduce Lin Yuan's next novel.
He didn't choose "The Return of the Condor Heroes" but instead chose "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
He felt that with only one novel, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," the title of "the progenitor of martial arts fiction" might not be widely recognized, and the reader base would not be large or stable enough.
If "The Return of the Condor Heroes" were released at this time, the plot of the male protagonist losing an arm and the female protagonist losing her virginity could certainly generate a lot of negative emotions at once, but it might also lose a large number of potential readers.
So he planned to write a novel, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," as a transition during the filming of the TV series.
Only when the TV series airs and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" enters every household, and the concept of martial arts becomes widely known, will Lin Yuan's status become more transcendent.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan already had two representative works of martial arts fiction at that time, his status was indisputable, and his influence was growing day by day.
Later, when he wrote those controversial parts of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*
—Great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me!
The story of the male protagonist losing an arm and the female protagonist losing her virginity is not simply a story of "torturing the protagonist and being cuckolded," but also an exploration of the writing technique of "heavenly disability and earthly imperfection."
After thinking it through, he released a preview of his new book.
As for why I only posted 30 characters, it was obviously to accumulate negative emotions.
He won't be updating for at least a month anyway.
With hashtags like #XuJinyanLinYuan# and #Jianghu# trending on social media, and riding the wave of yesterday's popularity of "Qilin", the collaboration between the two shows a subtle trend of expanding their reach beyond their original audience.
One is a talented musician, and the other is a novelist with a brilliant pen;
Xu Jinyan promoted Lin Yuan's book, and Lin Yuan asked Xu Jinyan to compose music for the novel.
Xu Jinyan wrote "Jianghu" because he wanted to roam the martial arts world freely, and Lin Yuan wrote "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" because of "Jianghu".
The interaction between the two perfectly demonstrates what it means to be bound by fate!
And there just happens to be some people in this world who can ship anything as a couple.
As a result, Xu Jinyan's comment section was filled with questions about Lin Yuan:
"Teacher Lin Yuan has never shown his face. Do you have a picture of him? Please share one, I beg you!"
Xu Jinyan: "I have his WeChat."
"Have you met Lin Yuan?"
Xu Jinyan: "I tried to video call him, but the call didn't go through."
"Is Lin Yuan really that ugly?"
Xu Jinyan: "...That's a very unpleasant way of speaking."
……
Lin Yuan's comment section was also filled with questions about Xu Jinyan:
Have you met Xu Jinyan?
Will the main character of the new book be named Xu Jinyan?
"Which role in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' would you like Xu Jinyan to play?"
Why didn't you answer Xu Jinyan's calls?
"..."
Faced with a wide variety of questions, he selectively answered only those related to his new book:
The main character is not named Xu Jinyan.
"There are no plans for the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, but the main character will still be related to Mount Hua."
Thumbs up for Huashan Scenic Area!
Mount Tai Scenic Area: "Who exactly is on Mount Hua?"
Mount Song...: "Who exactly is on Mount Hua?"
Hengshan…: “Who exactly is on Mount Hua?”
Hengshan…: “Who exactly is on Mount Hua?”
"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
"I feel a little sorry for them!"
"Does Teacher Lin Yuan live on Mount Hua?"
Lin Yuan: "...All five sacred mountains will have them!"
Thumbs up for the scenic areas of Mount Tai, Mount Song, Mount Heng, and Mount Hengshan.

Mao Xiaotong returned home, her mind still replaying the audition experience.
Actually, when she received the audition invitation, she had a vague suspicion in her mind.
After she, Dilraba, and Xu Jinyan appeared on the show "Mushroom House" to promote the novel, they even created a group chat to discuss the plot.
She even fantasized about which role she would play.
Xu Jinyan said she was suitable for the role of Mu Nianci, but she said she wanted to play Huang Rong.
Xu Jinyan said that Reba is suitable to play Ouyang Ke's maid, and that Reba is suitable to play Hua Zheng.
Furthermore, Xu Jinyan offered to recommend roles at the time.
As expected, Reba won the Huazheng today.
She did indeed audition for the role of Huang Rong, and eventually landed the role of Mu Nianci.
It's just unclear what specific role Xu Jinyan played in it.
She thought for a moment and then asked on WeChat:
"Jinyan, I got the role of Mu Nianci today! Thank you for the recommendation!"
"Who are you chatting with? You seem distracted." Her boyfriend asked from the side.
Chen Xiang, a male celebrity who, if it weren't for his cheating scandal, would probably be best remembered as "Chen Xiang Six Thirty".
"I landed the role of Mu Nianci."
"Oh, you're going to film another movie? Wait... you mean Mu Nianci?"
He submitted his resume to the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" production team, so of course he knows who Mu Nianci is.
Chen Xiang looked at her in disbelief.
So Mao Xiaotong briefly explained the whole story.
"You think it's because Xu Jinyan recommended her? Very likely!"
Mao Xiaotong asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure?"
Chen Xiang: "Didn't you see Weibo? Xu Jinyan and Lin Yuan are practically a couple now, they're getting along really well."
Mao Xiaotong opened Weibo and, sure enough, saw the post Lin Yuan had just made; their names had also become a trending topic.
Just then, she received a reply from Xu Jinyan on her phone: Didn't the production team ask you to audition for the role of Huang Rong?
Upon seeing this message, she finally realized that Xu Jinyan's recommendation had likely played a significant role.
After all, only Xu Jinyan and Dilraba knew that she liked the character Huang Rong.
Obviously, it couldn't be Dilraba's doing; it could only be that Xu Jinyan suggested to Lin Yuan that she try out the role of Huang Rong.
Oh dear, I owe this person a huge favor.
Mao Xiaotong: I tried them out, but Mu Nianci is still more suitable for me, and I think so myself.
Xu Jinyan: See, I told you so.
Mao Xiaotong: Anyway, thank you.
Xu Jinyan: It's nothing.
Putting down her phone, Mao Xiaotong sighed. How could she possibly repay such a huge favor?
Chen Xiang, who had witnessed the whole thing, rolled his eyes and tentatively suggested, "How about we invite Xu Jinyan to dinner?"
Mao Xiaotong's eyes immediately swept over: "Chen Xiang, what do you want to say?"
Chen Xiang felt slightly awkward, but what he really wanted to do was make some friends with them.
He debuted as a singer, so he can better understand how amazing Xu Jinyan's talent is. Maintaining a good relationship with her would be entirely beneficial.
Moreover, now that they know Xu Jinyan has a voice in the entertainment industry, shouldn't they hurry up and pay her a visit?
What if he gives me a song to sing, or recommends me for a role, like Yang Kang this time? Wouldn't I be set for life?
Even Ouyang Ke would be fine!
He said, "Look at you, always like this. Are you planning to invite him to dinner alone?"
Seeing that Mao Xiaotong was about to get angry, he quickly added, "Besides, having more friends means having more options, especially in the entertainment industry! What's wrong with that?"
Mao Xiaotong stopped looking at him and instead called Reba, saying, "I won't invite him to dinner alone; I'll invite him together with Reba."
She already owed Xu Jinyan a favor, so how could she bring Chen Xiang, who clearly had "impure motives," along?
