In a world where the film industry system is perfected and developed, the preparation time for movies is inevitably not too lengthy. Of course, itâs unrealistic to believe all these preparatory work can be done within a few days. Hence, Lin Yuan simply took this time to take on a second apprentice.
It was the Systemâs task of teaching composition.
The second apprentice came from the composition department on the ninth floor.
Lin Yuan picked him from the list of potential newcomers given by Gu Dong. His name was Feng Shuo.
The reason for choosing Feng Shuo was simpleâ¦
Because this young composer had high potential!
He had just joined the company and had already written two exceptionally well-performing songs.
Some even secretly referred to Feng Shuo as âLittle Xian Yu,â highlighting his potential.
Remember, when Lin Yuan initially took Xue Liang as an apprentice, Xue Liangâs composition ability was just over four hundred. He was just a beginner. But Feng Shuoâs composition level was as high as five hundred and fifty-three! A score of six hundred meant you had a gold-standard ability in composition⦠With such a strong foundation, wouldnât teaching be easy?
No wonder seniors in the art industry prefer talented apprentices.
Talented apprentices are easy to teach!
Lin Yuan wanted to exploit the System loophole using his own identity. He aimed to find a rookie with the highest potential and quickly cultivate him into a gold standard composer.
This would greatly improve the task completion efficiency.
However, the disadvantage of talented students is their arrogance.
Of course, Feng Shuo dared not show a rebellious attitude in front of Lin Yuan. Even without considering that Lin Yuan was the boss of the ninth floor, just bringing up Xian Yu was enough to suppress Feng Shuo, a young composing prodigy.
Butâ¦
While Feng Shuo was respectful to Lin Yuan on the surface, his thoughts were another matter.
In summaryâ¦
Feng Shuo was delighted that Lin Yuan wanted to take him as an apprentice! Donât get me wrong.
Feng Shuo was not happy because he could be taught by Xian Yu â he, a proud composing genius, didnât think he could learn anything from Xian Yu.
What made him happy wasâ¦
Being Xian Yuâs apprentice made him the number one figure in the ninth floorâs composition department!
Revealing his identity â my teacher is Mr. Lin â who would dare to defy?
That was Feng Shuoâs primary goal for becoming Lin Yuanâs second apprentice.
However, what Feng Shuo never dreamed of wasâ¦
Before long, he would revere his own master as one would revere a god!
This happened exactly on the first of October.
This world has no such thing as National Day, so October 1st was just another ordinary day of the month.
Feng Shuo walked into Lin Yuanâs office, respectfully calling him Master. âOkay, letâs start the lesson. This is the first class Iâm going to teach youâ¦â Lin Yuan began.
As he spoke, Lin Yuan activated the âYang Zhongmingâ character card, and his mind was immediately filled with vast composing knowledge.
At the same time, the Teacherâs Halo completely enveloped Feng Shuo.
At this point, the effect of Lin Yuanâs Teacherâs Halo was even stronger than when he was teaching Xue Liang!
Then, Feng Shuo saw his own mentor, who seemed to have descended from heaven, seem like a different personâ¦
He suddenly felt a sense of innate inferiority.
He didnât even dare to look Lin Yuan directly in the eye as he had when he first entered the office.
It was as if simply making eye contact with him was a form of blasphemy. Laterâ¦
When Feng Shuo, who had already gained considerable standing in the composing world, was talking about his legendary tutor, he found it difficult to find precise words to describe his feelings back then.
All he knew was that that day, he had experienced a baptism-like music composition class.
During the lectureâ¦
Lin Yuanâs profound knowledge of composition left Feng Shuo utterly astounded!
Every single simple sentence the master uttered in that class benefited him immensely, as if he were receiving an inspired enlightenment.
When the first class after his initiation concluded, Feng Shuo felt as if he had a completely new understanding of composition!
As a result, when Feng Shuo left Lin Yuanâs office, he was in a daze.
All he could feel was a buzzing in his head.
It wasnât until someone quietly called out to him, âJunior Brother,â that he snapped out of it.
Turning his head, he stammered, âXue⦠Senior Xue?â
Xue Liang holds a high position in the composition department on the ninth floor, everyone is comfortable with him because of his status and his master-student relationship with Lin Yuan.
âWhat should you call me now?â
Xue Liang smiled and looked at the dazed junior in front of him.
Only he knew what Feng Shuo had been through in class today; he had the same experience, and his reaction was no better than his juniorâs at that time, so he did not blame Feng Shuo for his dazedness now.
âSenior Brother!â
Feng Shuo corrected himself. Now fully revived, his expression had become eager and desiring. He wished he could turn back and have his master teach him more.
âYou should study well with the master in the future.â
Xue Liang was the epitome of an elder brother, patting Feng Shuo on the shoulder:
âCherish this opportunity, once you graduate, the master wonât teach you as carefully as he does at the beginning, just like me, the master doesnât give me much lesson now.â
Saying this, Xue Liang felt some regret and jealousy towards his junior.
Because he wanted to continue learning and progressing with the master. But the master seemed to have his own thoughts, and once he graduated, he rarely interfered with him.
So his desperate performances were intended to attract the Masterâs attention. His goal was to become the Masterâs pride one day!
âThank you, Senior Brother!â
Feng Shuo nodded vigorously.
If at first, upon learning that he might be taken under Lin Yuanâs wing, Feng Shuo merely viewed it as an opportunity to cling to Mr. Linâs coattails, by this point, he had grown to hold his master as the light and direction of his career and life.
This was genuine respect from the bottom of his heart!
At this moment, in Feng Shuoâs heart, his master was the god of composition! Being chosen by the master was like winning a supernatural luck, he was blessed by the god of composition!
Suddenly.
Feng Shuo turned around and bowed in the direction of Lin Yuanâs office.
Lin Yuan couldnât see this.
But Feng Shuo just wanted to do it that way.
He felt ashamed of his previous ignorance and arrogance.
Because in the past, Feng Shuo fantasized about becoming Lin Yuanâs apprentice first.
Once his future self grew up, he would surely be able to compose on par with Lin Yuan!
Successor will surpass precursor!
The new wave will die on the beach!
However, after attending Lin Yuanâs class, Feng Shuo realizedâ¦
With his own capabilities, he is not even qualified to lace up his masterâs shoes! Perhaps in this lifetime, he would never reach the masterâs stateliness!
Xue Liang, witnessing Feng Shuoâs actions and considering Feng Shuoâs usual arrogance in the composition department, seemed to understand something. He chuckled and said, âMy words might not be pleasant to hear â since youâve entered the Maserâs door, you should always be aware of your image. Donât ever think too highly of yourself, and never disgrace the Master. Otherwise, I, as your senior brother, wonât let you off easy.â
âPlease rest assured, Senior Brother.â
Feng Shuo assured him, âI want to continue learning from the Master. I wonât disgrace the Masterâs name. In front of the Master, I dare not consider myself important.â
At this point, Feng Shuo suddenly felt indignant.
How dare anyone in the company refer to the master as just a âMaestro Juniorâ?
Had they attended the Masterâs class, they would know that the word âjuniorâ should not exist!
Feng Shuoâs understanding of composition told him that his master was the true Maestro!
In this world, no one understands composition better than his master!
