249: Chapter 249: Vawa's Reading Comprehension

Question: What kind of hobby is it for an idol to post videos on Douyin of himself playing the Violin poorly to poke fun at himself?

Although Wawa couldn't understand it, he knew this couldn't go on; he had to reverse the stereotypes Douyin users had about Lin Chuyan.

He is the idol I chose, after all!

He used to think this was just a case of no one being perfect, but now someone was actually questioning his judgment? Questioning Lin Chuyan's musical talent?

This was beyond tolerable.

Wawa thought about it for a long time and finally decided to record a video himself.

As for the content, he would just talk about the new song, "the brightest star in the night sky".

When Lin Chuyan opened Douyin, this was the video he saw. It already had over a hundred thousand likes; he didn't dare to imagine how many people had watched it.

Video title: The most comprehensive interpretation of the lyrics to "the brightest star in the night sky" on the entire internet. Do you understand the true value of the Golden Melody Awards Best Newcomer?

Lin Chuyan was a bit confused: "Interpret what? And 'most comprehensive interpretation'? Can you really make something out of nothing?"

Teacher Wawa sat in front of the camera, speaking eloquently.

"Everyone knows that Lin Chuyan sang a new song called 'the brightest star in the night sky' at the Golden Melody Awards, and many people think this song was just sung for Ruan Xingyu. But what if I told you that it's actually not? Or rather, that this song is definitely not just a simple love song?"

"Next, let's thoroughly interpret this song from six directions."

How many? ? ? Six directions? ? ?

Lin Chuyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Is this the true value of the Golden Melody Awards Best Newcomer, or is it the true value of the number one Lin-fan in the Chinese Entertainment Industry?"

Wawa's interpretation continued.

"First, it's loneliness and the desire for understanding. The beginning of the lyrics, 'the brightest star in the night sky, can you hear, the loneliness and sighs in the heart of the person looking up', hits you with a sense of loneliness right from the start, as well as a longing to be understood and comforted. Here, 'the brightest star in the night sky' can be seen as hope in the distance or a kind of spiritual sustenance, while the 'person looking up' is every individual seeking guidance in adversity."

"Secondly, it's nostalgia for the past. 'the brightest star in the night sky, can you remember, the figure that once walked with me, disappearing in the wind', here it reveals nostalgia for past times. Nostalgia for those who once accompanied you by your side but have now left. This is a sentiment for lost time, and also a recollection of past intimate relationships. You can interpret it as love, but who says it's only love that once walked with you?"

"Third, it's self-reflection. In the lyrics, 'I pray to have a transparent heart, and eyes that can shed tears, to give me the courage to believe again', the first half reflects the creator's profound self-reflection—I know I haven't possessed a transparent heart—expressing a pursuit of a pure, true self, and the courage to still be willing to trust others after experiencing pain."

"Fourth, it's the exploration of the meaning of existence. 'Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the dark night, the brightest star in the night sky, please guide me closer to you', the lyrics explore the human search for the meaning of life amidst confusion and adversity, as well as the desire for guidance and hope. Here, 'the brightest star in the night sky' has long since transcended the narrative of love; it has become a lighthouse in confusion, guiding the direction forward—what guides you is certainly not just love."

"Fifth, it's persistence in love. 'I would rather keep all the pain in my heart than forget your eyes, to give me the courage to believe again, to cross over lies to embrace you', this expresses persistence and deep affection for love. Of course, love cannot only be sweet; it also has arguments and misunderstandings, but we must still choose to remember our lover's original eyes, and choose to trust and embrace. This is a pure and firm expression of love."

"Finally, it's hope for the future. 'Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the dark night, the brightest star in the night sky, please light up my way forward', this conveys a kind of hope and expectation for the future. Even in the darkest moments, we must believe that there will be light guiding the way, bringing us hope and strength."

"Now, do you still think this song is only about love? That's where this song is truly great; everyone who hears it can have a completely different experience. Whether you think of the passing of a loved one or your own sadness, it's a correct interpretation of this song. Of course, if you can only think of love, then I can only say, congratulations, you lucky guy."

"And Lin Chuyan's voice, simple, sincere, and slightly melancholy, can be said to have perfectly interpreted this song. I don't know how you all feel? I only have one thought right now, and that is, let's look forward to the new album together!"

He was speechless; Lin Chuyan was truly speechless.

Just from these few lines of lyrics, you came up with six points?

This Wawa, this reading comprehension ability... Damn, can someone come and stop him!

Also, people actually watch this? With Wawa's face, sitting in front of the camera, blabbering on for a bunch of words, and people still like it? This kid definitely paid for Douyin promotion!

Clicking into the comment section, someone asked: "You've been talking for this long, what does it have to do with Lin the Dog playing the Violin like crap?"

Wawa: "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be blown down by the wind, do you understand what self-deprecation is?"

"Give it a rest, self-deprecation? If you're bad, just practice more!"

Wawa: "Isn't that exactly what I'm practicing? Also, how many times has Lin Chuyan slapped the Haters in the face from last year until now, and they still haven't learned their lesson?"

"A brainless fan, identification complete. So in your eyes, Lin Chuyan is an all-rounder?"

Wawa: "Even Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba has changed his tune! He's already got his racing license, and you're still hating, get lost!"

"You believe what a marketing account says? And you're still not convinced when I call you a brainless fan?"

Wawa: "If you don't believe it, then go to the cinema and see for yourself when the time comes. If you can really find faults, you can continue to hate then."

"You're in the music circle, so don't talk about movies; it's easy to make people laugh their heads off. Do you know what special effects and body doubles are?"

Wawa: "Then do you know what the block function is?"

He was half-dead with anger, but fortunately, most of the people leaving comments were still fans.

Mosquito Hits Cannon: "So, Wawa, when is the new album being released, do you know?"

Wawa: "Fans, don't rush me, I can only say, rest assured, it's coming soon."

Lin Chuyan also had sharp eyes and saw this ID at once.

He had a somewhat deep impression of this ID.

"No, buddy, aren't you that Hater who said he'd wash his hair upside down? How did you become a fan here on Douyin? Are the Haters these days a bit too cunning? And you're asking me when the new album is released? What do you want to do? Want to buy a few copies to burn for fun?"

Lin Chuyan couldn't help but reply below: "?"

Brother Mosquito only saw it after a while.

He actually thought very simply; he just saw that his Junior liked it, so he planned to buy a pre-sale physical album to give to her. It wasn't expensive, and it could show his sincerity.

He just happened to scroll to a relevant video of Lin Chuyan—he didn't know why the big data pushed it to him—so he just asked a question casually.

He never dreamed that just by saying a word in Wawa's Douyin comment section, he would actually be caught red-handed by the person himself!

Brother Mosquito stared at the question mark Lin Chuyan typed, his thoughts racing:

"Holy crap, how embarrassing, I wanted to buy the new album and got caught, it's over, it's over, damn it, what should I do..."

Deleting it is definitely not an option; that would be too much like having a guilty conscience. Besides, what does he have to feel guilty about? Can't he ask a question casually?

"How about replying with a question mark back? That would make him seem more justified. But he was afraid of inviting mockery from the other side; he had seen what Lin the Dog's mouth was capable of..."

Brother Mosquito had countless thoughts in his heart, but in the end, he explained: "Heh, not a fan, don't misunderstand, thanks."

The next thing to do was to keep checking his phone constantly.

Brother Mosquito checked his phone every ten minutes, always feeling that the other person should reply.

He kept waiting, but never received a reply.

So he thought again: "Could Lin the Dog have not seen my reply? It's very possible; after all, Lin the Dog's Douyin must receive a massive amount of messages every day, so how could it be like mine, where a little red dot only pops up occasionally?"

If he didn't see it, wouldn't I have become a fan in his mind?

"Damn, how frustrating."
