Chapter 70 Master of Miscellaneous Studies
Chapter 70 Master of Miscellaneous Studies
"You can always trust Hsu Chin-yen's interviews."
This is currently the most liked comment on his Weibo post.
The interview took place in the afternoon and aired in the evening, immediately trending on social media.
At first, because the reporters looked very serious when they talked to Xu Jinyan, everyone thought it was just an ordinary interview.
However, as the content was broadcast, the academic community was as if it had been hit by a bombshell.
The information content is so explosive, and the logical structure is so astonishing.
A mere few hundred words can organically combine materials science, architecture, rigid body mechanics, physics, mathematics, biochemistry, food science, history, economics, geography, and astronomy.
This fully demonstrates that there are commonalities between different disciplines.
"Damn it, how can someone spout such nonsense so recklessly?"
"Seeing this passage, I inexplicably felt a lot like when I was writing my thesis, jumping from one idea to another."
"If you can finish a paper like this... I can't agree with that."
"Professor Xu, if I may ask, in what specific field does your theory correspond to?"
"Upstairs, you are indeed being quite presumptuous."
"Is this content some kind of artistic metaphor or an academic concept of yours?"
"I thought Professor Xu was invincible in the music world, but I didn't expect him to be so formidable in academia!"
"What is your core basis for connecting these four elements: pasta, concrete, excavators, and Trump?"
"You know it's the core component, so can I tell you?"
"..."
There's never a shortage of people who can make you laugh online.
Compared to the heated debate among netizens, trending topics such as "Xu Jinyan's unit of measurement for her partner is 'some'", "Xu Jinyan says Tian Xiwei is suitable as a partner", "Xu Jinyan reads random replies", and "Hua Chenyu-style lovemaking" seem rather lukewarm.
At that moment, Xu Jinyan was having dinner with the main cast and crew of the film.
It's the same cast as last time, except Lu Han is gone, but the director and producer from the production team are here.
Xu Jinyan said to Xiaotong, "Why didn't you bring my Lu Ge? Did you not have enough to drink?"
Guan Xiaotong rolled her eyes. Last time, Lu Han had amnesia after sobering up.
Producer Feng laughed and said, "Looks like Jin Yan didn't drink enough last time. Today we'll keep you company and make you happy."
Xu Jinyan waved her hand: "Forget it, you've already extorted one song from me, there really aren't any left."
The producer and director's eyes lit up; this meant they had agreed. They quickly said:
"Jinyan, what are you saying? We'd rather not let you drink here. If the other directors find out, they'll think our crew can't afford to drink."
Xu Jinyan smiled and said, "Alright, I'll give the song to Xiaotian to sing."
Coincidentally, in short, the plot, as described by Producer Feng, is a tragic ending.
It just so happens that the song I gave to Xiaotian before was "If Dreams," which is full of tragic endings, so I might as well do him a favor.
Tian Xiwei thanked him with a laugh. She was always very generous in public and showed no shyness whatsoever when she was with Xu Jinyan.
Arthur, standing to the side: The match is over before it even started?
Producer Feng didn't care about him; as long as he got the song, that was enough.
What followed was an unstoppable barrage of toasts. In the eyes of these two seasoned veterans, how much could a young man possibly drink?
But gradually, they realized something was wrong: Had he secretly replaced the water with fresh water?
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two cleverly changed their tactics: flattery.
"I've heard directors Zhang Kai and Zhang Ke praise Jin Yan's music more than once."
These two people are the directors of the TV series "The Last Hero Zheng Chenggong" and "Shanghai Storm," respectively.
"Yes, Professor Xu is truly exceptionally talented."
"Take today's interview for example. It involves many disciplines and seems absurd, but I feel that it has a kind of postmodern deconstruction art."
Everyone laughed when the interview was mentioned; in just one afternoon, Xu Jinyan had established herself in the academic circle.
Since it was unclear which discipline his research belonged to, netizens created the terms "Hybrid Studies" and "Mixed Battlegrounds" specifically for him.
They affectionately called him "Master of Miscellaneous Studies" in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of eclecticism.
Li Yitong laughed and said, "You know what? At the time, I was standing next to them and couldn't understand what they were saying. I really thought it was my problem."
Xiaotian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I don't understand either, but seeing everyone so serious, I had no choice but to nod along."
Xu Jinyan laughed and said, "It's normal that you don't understand; that's all I've learned in my life!"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Wang Yanlin then asked curiously, "Jinyan, what are you busy with these days? When are you going to become a regular on a variety show? You're really busy."
If such a variety show really existed, he would do anything to participate.
In the interview video this afternoon, Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei nodded earnestly in agreement as Xu Jinyan spoke, and their expressions were immediately turned into memes.
It's just like those students who don't understand anything but keep nodding while the teacher is lecturing.
It's so incredibly appealing.
Xu Jinyan said, "I've been busy reading novels lately."
Li Yitong asked curiously, "Lin Yuan's *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*?"
Xu Jinyan nodded, "I've watched it several times."
Li Yitong nodded repeatedly, "Me too, me too, Huang Rong is really so charming."
Xu Jinyan gave her a strange look, then suddenly remembered that she had also played Huang Rong. However, in his previous life, his favorite version of Huang Rong was Ariel Lin's, and he hadn't watched her version.
At this moment, Director Li asked curiously, "Jinyan, I heard that Teacher Lin Yuan specifically asked you to compose the theme song, is that true?"
Now, everyone's attention was focused on this.
Wuxia (martial arts) is about to become the next big IP, naturally attracting a large audience and fan base. Anyone with a bit of experience in the entertainment industry would want to get involved.
Xu Jinyan nodded: "Yes, Lin Yuan contacted me a long time ago, and I agreed. Recently, the novel is about to end, so I reread it several times."
"What kind of person is Teacher Lin Yuan? He seems to rarely interact with people?"
Xu Jinyan: What is he supposed to say?
He paused for a moment, then said, "When we talk, he seems...too talkative."
"He said he doesn't communicate much with readers, mainly because it's impossible to please everyone. Once the novel is written, the characters come to life, and it's understandable that they have different opinions."
Everyone nodded in agreement. As expected of Teacher Lin Yuan, his words were truly wise.
"Did he say when it would end? He's taken leave again."
That's right, I updated for 20 consecutive days this time, and then Lin Yuan took leave again today, taking leave just before the Mount Hua Sword Tournament.
This wave directly pushed his negative emotion value to over nine million.
Of course, the reason there are so few is because Lin Yuan said this is the last time he'll ask for leave: he's not satisfied with the ending and needs to revise it, and he'll release it all at once later.
Xu Jinyan: "I asked him, since the ending is very important and it also affects my songwriting progress. He said: It'll be soon."
He plans to drag it out this time, since this is the last time he'll take advantage of the franchise in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"Hurry up, the Mount Hua Sword Tournament is something I'm really looking forward to."
"I heard that a martial arts-themed inn and a food street with a martial arts theme have been built near Mount Hua. I plan to go there for a visit after filming this movie is finished."
Everyone nodded in agreement. In the past, when it came to famous mountains in China, Mount Tai was the most famous.
Before the "Huashan Sword Competition", Huashan was known for its perilous and unique scenery, and everyone knew that "there has only been one path to Huashan since ancient times".
Since the emergence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the local cultural and tourism industry has seized the marketing point of "martial arts holy land" and opened up a new path to attract a large number of tourists.
This made the other four of the Five Sacred Mountains green with envy.
Lin Yuan, what's the meaning of your insistence on holding a sword competition at Mount Hua? Who exactly is at Mount Hua?
