152: Chapter 152 Lonely Patients
Honestly, those two sentences from Lin Chuyan really earned him some goodwill.
In this incident, were there any artists who spoke up for the victims? Yes, but really not many.
Although, this kind of thing has nothing to do with artists, and there's no right or wrong in whether they speak up or not. But having a public figure willing to stand up and say a few words left even the Haters with nothing to say, and the comment section was mostly filled with praise for him.
Occasionally, a few reckless ones would pop up, saying he was clout-chasing or something, but they were immediately pinned down and fiercely scolded by others.
"You little brat, you're just that kind of person, right? In such a rush to speak up for your reincarnated wild daddy?"
"No matter what others say, it's just clout-chasing, right? You're so good at labeling people, are you a stapler come to life?"
"If this clout is so easy to chase, why haven't other artists chased it? Is it because they don't like it?"
Seeing his fans take the initiative to attack, Lin Chuyan didn't bother with it anymore.
There was still half a month until the June 15th release of the hovering blade, and the production team had started intensive promotion these past few days.
Calculating the time, he felt that after finishing filming in Yunnan Province, he should be able to return to Beijing just in time for the film's premiere, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Because the progress for The Long Season was relatively fast, his daily scenes weren't too many now, so he could just ask the director for a half-day leave to go record his happy re-departure—the latter's team was already in Yunnan Province, and Wu Yue had set the time with them for the evening of the next day.
Even now, Lin Chuyan still hadn't decided which song to sing besides lonely patient, so he decided to stop thinking about it and just play it by ear when the time came. Anyway, no matter which song it was, he was very proficient in them, so he wasn't afraid of making mistakes.
The few old babies of happy re-departure were currently staying in the guesthouse, preparing for the evening's activities.
To be honest, none of them had expected that, in their middle age, they would be able to become popular again because of a variety show.
The six of them came from the same Singing competition; unlike the various power struggles in Lin Chuyan's idol competition, the bond between the six was genuinely very good.
It was also because they had maintained a good relationship in private for so many years that they were able to spark such chemistry on the variety show now.
Come to think of it, the production team was quite interesting. They arranged for the six of them to travel all the way from the Northeast to Yunnan Province, Spring City. Along the way, there was no script, no arguing, just laughter all the way, and finally, they held a small concert. It was quite ceremonial and made the fans happy; it could definitely be called a breath of fresh air among variety shows.
And the last stop of the show was unexpectedly changed to a live broadcast format at the last minute, making the brothers a bit nervous, fearing some accident might happen.
However, what they feared most came to pass; an accident did happen.
It wasn't because of Lin Chuyan; the production team had long notified them that this guy was coming as a guest star.
Regarding the production team stuffing an unfamiliar person in at the last minute, if it were any other time, they would indeed be a bit annoyed.
However, Lin Chuyan had just won the Most Potential Newcomer Award at the Sound of Nature Festival—everyone in the music industry knew whether someone had talent or not at a glance. For real Singers like them, encountering someone like that was rare, and they would only feel a sense of mutual appreciation.
Lin Chuyan arrived in the evening, and for some reason, he felt the atmosphere on set was somewhat heavy.
When he entered, several music industry seniors came out to greet him, and they all said hello, but Lin Chuyan always felt that they were forcing smiles.
Ah, this, they wouldn't all be unwelcoming to him, right? The production team didn't tell him...
But he still had to do his part: "Hello, brothers. It's a pleasure to meet you all for the first time. Please take care of me. Everyone can just call me Xiao Yan."
At this moment, the comments from those watching the live stream were already flooding in.
[Damn, the mysterious guest star is actually Lin Chuyan?]
[He is filming in Yunnan Province, that's right, but is he done filming so soon?]
[I don't know, look at his hairstyle, it's hilarious. Is this his look from the drama?]
[It's not bad, still very handsome, hahahaha]
[Is this that Lin Chuyan who bites whoever he sees like a mad dog? What? So cowardly offline?]
[Is it not okay for him to be polite? Are you an idiot?]
[I think Cheng Chusheng and his group don't seem very welcoming to him...]
[Duh, they don't even know him... I don't know why the production team forced him in.]
Although Cheng Chusheng wasn't the oldest, he was the national champion of the Singing competition back then. Plus, with his steady and meticulous personality, he had always been like an older brother in the others' eyes. At this moment, he stood up first and spoke: "Welcome, welcome, Xiao Yan. Knowing you were coming, we have all been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Haha, as long as you brothers don't blame me for suddenly joining in."
Su Xing was clearly very interested in Lin Chuyan: "Do you know there is a concert tonight?"
"I know, I came for this. I'm here to promote my new album, and the production team even asked me to sing two new songs."
Lu Hu held back his laughter: "Do you know that we are live streaming right now? You really just say everything..."
Lin Chuyan naturally knew they were live streaming, but for him, there was really nothing to hide about such things: "If I said I was very familiar with you brothers, that would be fake... You brothers debuted when I was still in kindergarten."
Hearing this, the few of them really couldn't hold it in, and the atmosphere finally improved a bit.
[Sincerity is the ultimate weapon]
[Don't say, the year the old babies debuted, it seems Lin Chuyan was really in kindergarten...]
After entering the guesthouse, the stage in the yard had already been set up. Several of them checked the equipment again. Wang Zhengliang was truly meticulous; he understood a wide range of musical instruments, and basically, every instrument had been handled by him.
After they finished, they sat down to eat, and the conversation naturally turned to Lin Chuyan's upcoming new album.
Wang Yuexin also seemed to be releasing a new song soon, so he was quite interested in this area and naturally asked about it.
Lin Chuyan naturally wouldn't miss the chance to promote: "The new album has a total of 13 songs. Everyone should have heard 3 of them, which are the flower that blooms only for itself, ambush from ten sides, and General. The others are all new songs. Um, I personally think they are quite good..."
Su Xing himself had many rap songs, so he couldn't help but ask: "I love General so much. Are there any other rap songs on the new album?"
"No, haha, the remaining 10 are not."
"So they are love songs then?"
"Not that either, haha, none of these 13 songs are love songs."
As soon as this sentence came out, the 6 of them were truly taken aback.
No love songs? Are you kidding? Is it that... bizarre?
[If you don't sing love songs, what do you sing? Does your Xingxing have no opinion?]
[Damn, it won't be like General and ambush from ten sides, where you wrote a bunch of songs scolding people, right... Damn!]
After chatting like this for a while, they naturally weren't as distant as they were at the beginning, so Lin Chuyan asked directly: "By the way, when I first arrived at the guesthouse today, I felt the atmosphere was a bit off, and I thought you brothers had some issues with me."
However, as soon as he said this, Lin Chuyan regretted it; the atmosphere indeed became strange again.
Several of them looked at Zhang Yuan, who had been silent all along.
Cheng Chusheng whispered: "Yuan's father passed away recently."
"..." Lin Chuyan really hadn't expected this: "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan."
Zhang Yuan lifted his chin to signal: "It's okay, really it's okay. It's in the past, it's all in the past."
Damn, if it were really okay, he wouldn't be emphasizing it so frantically, but for this kind of thing, Lin Chuyan didn't have any good solution.
The atmosphere was off, so the few of them just buried themselves in eating and didn't chat anymore.
Fortunately, what followed was the concert.
Su Xing pulled him: "Xiao Yan, you go first?"
"Is it appropriate?"
"Don't decline. We brothers all want to hear your new song; we can't wait."
Lin Chuyan's main approach was to be obedient: "Alright, I'll listen to you brothers."
"What is this song called?"
"lonely patient."
[Note: The original show also had a plotline where a father passed away, and the author also felt quite sad watching it at the time. These chapters are not intended to capitalize on those who have passed away, but rather to use a few songs to comfort the hearts of everyone who has lost a loved one. Hope for understanding.]
