384: Chapter 384: Live Stream Begins

Back at the Hengdian film crew, Lin Chuyan continued his routine, filming every day.

When saying goodbye to Ruan Xingyu, the two calculated when they would meet again.

Because the crew would no longer be filming in the film studio, although still in Zhejiang Province, they were looking for natural landscapes—strange peaks, peculiar rocks, mountains, rivers, and ancient villages—all of which could add a wonderful mythical atmosphere to the drama.

Therefore, visiting the set was out of the question; that place was really inconvenient and would only add trouble for the crew.

However, their next meeting shouldn't be too far off—both of them should be invited to attend the "Sound of Nature Festival" in early April.

And it shouldn't just be attendance...

Last year, Lin Chuyan won "Best New Artist" at this award ceremony, and what was honored wasn't even the blue album, but his mini-album "rebirth"...

Now, a year and a half later, he has even released his yellow album...

Also, don't forget that "Sounds of Nature" suffered a silent loss back then—they gave him the "Best New Artist" award because he only had the mini-album "rebirth" at the time. Who knew this kid would be so fierce? When the blue album came out, its popularity was unrivaled.

But it was too late to give another award. The damn Golden Melody Awards took advantage of the "timing" and used this opportunity to hit both it and the "Huayin Awards" at the same time.

Nowadays, in the minds of many, the Golden Melody Awards even overshadow the other two.

Can the "Sound of Nature Festival" tolerate this? How could they not use this opportunity to win back their ground?

Timing? Who says "Sounds of Nature" can't seize the timing?

Heh, the yellow album has already sold 3 million copies. Wouldn't the first professional music award to recognize the yellow album be considered "timing"?

"Sounds of Nature" also has a justification: after it, everyone else is just following the trend!

However, the organizers of "Sounds of Nature" were not as well-informed as Lin Chuyan; they didn't know that Ruan Xingyu's album was going to be released this month...

So, the good show is yet to come.

In the last two days, "a moment of romance" has also made a little progress.

As for the script copyright, Xia Zhi has already helped him register it—this is also why she didn't go back with Lin Chuyan, as some documents had to be submitted and processed in person.

Wu Yue, on the other hand, was preparing to register a new company for Lin Chuyan—having read the script, he had gained some confidence and decided to take a gamble.

In fact, he had gambled like this many times.

He dared to raise the price on the spot after seeing the momentum in Director Li Li's office.

After reading the script for "a moment of romance," he talked and talked at Director Du Qiyu's house until he decided to forgo his salary and gamble on a share of the profits.

And now, this "la la land" is undoubtedly a good script. Plus, with Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu as the leads, not to mention anything else, the box office within Asia is guaranteed.

There is another reason: if it were filmed domestically, Wu Yue would advise him to be cautious; but if it were filmed in Hollywood, the vibe would be just right.

Wu Yue has thought a lot over the past two days and is already researching whether he can find a Hollywood film company with Chinese capital background, which would allow them to carry out their work better.

In short, this wave is nothing more than a bigger gamble. If they lose, they just lose some money, which they can afford now. But what if they win? I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it.

As for the name of the new company, Lin Chuyan didn't hesitate—anyway, the biggest bosses were him and Ruan Xingyu, so they finally settled on "Yanyu Film," which is both simple and clear, and consistent with the "Yanyu Charity Foundation," which is great.

There is one more piece of news—Xiaohongshu has finally welcomed a livestream.

Actually, the contract was already signed; the platform was just waiting for him to set a time to start the broadcast.

It just so happens that there is no night shoot today, so why wait for another day?

Very quickly, the official Xiaohongshu released the news across all platforms, and the tone was so plain.

"Beautiful ladies and handsome men, there is a livestream tonight at 8 o'clock. Lock in the officially verified Xiaohongshu account: Lin Chuyan."

Why highlight the official verification? Because there are just too many accounts named "XX Lin Chuyan."

However, while the officials were calm and breezy, the netizens were truly shocked.

It was mainly because Lin Chuyan appeared in public so rarely.

He doesn't like to go on variety shows, doesn't attend events, and only knows how to film every day.

The only time you can see him is basically at brand events, occasionally arguing with Haters online, and that's it?

Fans speculated one after another that their Idol must be busy dating Ruan Xingyu offline...

Which is commonly known as being addicted to women...

"Holy crap, Lin Chuyan is livestreaming? Did I read that right?"

"That's right, I looked carefully. It's not Lin Chu-yan, and it's not Mu Chuyan."

"Why call me handsome? Call me a stud!"

"Xiaohongshu, you finally acted like a human being!!! You have to spend money where it's needed! This money is well spent!!!"

"I'm going to send gifts to my Idol!!!"

"Wuwuwu, I can finally see what my Idol is like in his offline life. It's really not easy. Thank you, Xiaohongshu."

"I'm a bit curious about what content Lin Chuyan will livestream. Now I have to download the app to check it out."

Not just fans, Haters were also overjoyed.

"Good, good, good. Brothers, follow me and charge."

"Lin Chuyan, if you have the guts, do a joint stream!"

"Livestream? I'm good at this. Watch me roast him to death!"

"Is he going to sell products? Is our Idol finally going to start harvesting leeks?"

"Normal, after all, who would complain about having too much money?"

In short, once this news came out, although the officially verified account still had zero content, the number of followers was constantly rising.

Lin Chuyan was currently staying in the hotel.

The staff assigned to him by Xiaohongshu was debugging the equipment, and Xia Zhi was watching and learning.

Checking the phone used for the livestream, tripod, fill light, microphone, headphones, external camera... and finally ensuring the network was stable to avoid lag and interruptions.

"Teacher Lin Chuyan, it's ready."

"Okay, thank you, you've worked hard. You can sit on the side; I've got a drink set out for you."

"Okay, okay, it's no trouble. If any inappropriate language occurs, I will remind you in time."

"Don't worry, I guarantee I won't cause you any trouble."

The staff member breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, thank you."

Lin Chuyan smiled: "I've livestreamed before, but the format was a bit different. That was an interview on Bilibili. Have you seen it?"

"Yes, I have."

"Hmm, that's roughly the style. I won't scold people, I won't use dirty language, but I should be more honest."

"More honest?"

"Yeah... there is just too much falsehood on the internet. Don't you think we need to be more honest in how we conduct ourselves?"

What else could the staff member say? They nodded immediately: "Indeed, indeed."

"Is it time? Let's go."

At eight o'clock, Lin Chuyan started the broadcast on time.

Fans, Haters, passersby... countless netizens began to flood into his livestream room.

As expected, the unexpected happened.

Very quickly, the netizens' comments were flying by.

"Is this Lin Chuyan? This isn't right, is it?"

"Holy crap, a ghost!"

"Impossible, my Idol doesn't look like this!"

"It's over, I'm disillusioned..."

Lin Chuyan was also shocked—damn, who is that in the camera? Why so pale? The skin is smoothed out so much that you can't even see the texture, the philtrum has disappeared, and why are the eyes so weird? Where is my jawline?

"What the hell, what kind of beauty filter is this? Quick, Xia Zhi, someone come and operate this, hurry up and turn it off for me!"
