385: Chapter 385 Live Learning

Problems right after starting the stream? That's so you, Lin Chuyan.

A staff member hurried over to turn off the beauty filter: "Sorry, Teacher Lin Chuyan, I forgot to turn it off during the setup."

The barrage couldn't hold back upon hearing this.

[What do you mean forgot to turn off, you turned it on beforehand, right?]

[Dying of laughter, didn't expect that he doesn't need a beauty filter at all.]

[Even Ruan Xingyu wouldn't recognize him if she came.]

[Never mind Ruan Xingyu, even Lin Chuyan's mother wouldn't recognize him.]

However, more people were still posting the same barrage:

[Hubby, Hubby, Hubby, Hubby, Hubby]

After Lin Chuyan turned off the beauty filter, the first thing he saw was the rapidly scrolling "Hubby".

He couldn't clearly see what everyone was posting for a moment, so he just started talking to himself—the staff at Xiaohongshu quickly learned what it meant to be candid.

"Good evening, everyone."

"Xiaohongshu asked me to livestream. At first, I refused. Mainly, I didn't know what to livestream."

"But later they said: 'Anything is fine, even just sleeping, there are no requirements.'"

The barrage instantly got excited.

[Idol! That one! Just livestream sleeping! We love watching that!]

[That one, that one, that one! Bro, it's getting late, hurry up and sleep!]

Unfortunately, Lin Chuyan didn't agree.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was his usual sarcastic self.

"Sleeping is out of the question. It would be bad if I started sleep-talking. Regular sleep-talking wouldn't matter, but I'm afraid I'd say something like 'I don't like it' in my dream, and wouldn't that offend someone again?"

[Dying of laughter, @Director Deng Yu, are you watching?]

[Old Deng, I know you're watching, stop pretending.]

[The box office for 'the play' seems to be only 400 million, I have to say Yanzi contributed significantly.]

[Alright, alright, I just love watching Yanzi chat, hahaha, he's really not afraid of offending people.]

[Anyway, he's already offended them, right?]

"Anyway, since Xiaohongshu said I could stream whatever, then I won't stand on ceremony..."

"I haven't read any books since I got back tonight. So, I'll read for a bit; everyone else can do whatever they want."

After saying this, Lin Chuyan got up to pour himself a glass of water, grabbed a book, and returned to his desk to start reading.

Leaving the bewildered netizens not knowing what to say.

[What does this mean? Livestreaming reading?]

[You're reading, so what are we supposed to do?]

[This is a prank, right? This must be a prank, right?]

[Yanzi, you love studying too much!]

[Xiaohongshu: It's over, the money went down the drain...]

However, the fans didn't think so; whatever Idol does is right.

[Reading is great, I just love this kind of quiet, handsome man, hehehe.]

[My Idol is reading, so I'm reading too. I haven't finished my homework yet, so it's perfect to study together!]

[My Idol is so hardworking, so what book is he reading?]

The Haters had already started flaming. They didn't like Lin Chuyan to begin with, and this guy was Acting so pretentious and unconventional?

[Livestreaming to build a persona, right?]

[Damn, this is so pretentious! Can't stand it, can't stand it.]

[They paid you to come here, and this is what you do? Do you have any professional ethics?]

[You don't read normally, only when you're livestreaming, right?]

Lin Chuyan ignored them; he said he would study, so he studied.

Watch or don't watch, it's up to you.

[Hubby, Hubby, acknowledge me!]

[He's actually studying? How long is this going to take? He won't be like this all night, right?]

[I don't know why, but watching him study makes me want to study too...]

[I play games after work, Lin Chuyan reads and studies after work. Is this reasonable?]

[Damn, trying to outdo me, right?]

[Damn, I feel guilty just watching a livestream; the game doesn't feel fun anymore.]

However, Lin Chuyan didn't stare at the book for too long.

"25 minutes have passed, and there are still so many people?"

[Idol, don't be too competitive, leave a way for others to survive.]

[Idol, are you only reading this much tonight?]

[What book is Yanzi reading?]

Lin Chuyan replied to the barrage casually.

"No. Read for 25 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes. Read for another 25 minutes, then stop and rest for 5 minutes. This is called the Pomodoro Technique. It's quite useful; it doesn't feel too boring when studying, everyone can give it a try."

"The book I'm reading..." Lin Chuyan simply showed the cover to everyone, " 'The Art of Film Directing', it covers various aspects of a director's work, including scripts, Acting, editing, etc. It's just to understand a director's responsibilities and learn how a director coordinates various departments."

After joining the crew, Lin Chuyan had asked Xia Zhi to buy him a bunch of books on directing, and they were all piled up in his hotel room right now.

He had added points to his base "Director" attribute, directly raising it to 201. At this moment, reading these books was yielding twice the result with half the effort.

However, the barrage wasn't as calm as he was.

[Director???]

[Yanzi, what are you trying to do? Want to make your own movie?]

[You're taking too big a step!]

[Isn't it good enough to be an actor? Why dive headfirst into a track you're not familiar with? There's no need!]

Lin Chuyan's main approach was being candid.

"Don't worry, I won't give up the path of an actor. Aren't I still filming 'lotus lantern' now? I shouldn't be lacking roles later on, I might go to Hong Kong to develop. People from Japan have also invited me to film, but I didn't agree."

"Why not film in the Mainland? Because I can't film movies in the Mainland right now; no one is inviting me. So I thought, why not direct one myself?"

The netizens never expected that chatting would reveal so much information.

There were rumors online before that Lin Chuyan was "blacklisted". Is this confirmation directly from his own mouth?

[Holy crap, is my Idol really blacklisted?]

[Is it Director Deng Yu? It must be Director Deng Yu!]

"Aren't I still filming just fine? At most, I just can't film Mainland movies. Don't worry."

"I'm just stating facts. For things without evidence, we shouldn't slander others casually, okay?"

"Also, it's not certain who is blacklisting whom. Later, I'll study carefully who exactly is playing tricks, and from now on, these people won't even think about cooperating with me."

[Alright, alright! Turning the tables, right!]

[Dying of laughter, there's such a saying.]

[Idol is so arrogant, I love it.]

[It's over, I'm swooning.]

"Have I learned directing techniques from anyone? Yes, I learned from Director Chu when filming 'pegasus 2', and he was willing to teach me. Now in the 'lotus lantern' crew, besides playing my role well, I've also been learning from Director Lin."

"What? You're asking if I should also learn from Director Deng Yu? Hahaha, personally I feel... he doesn't deserve it."

[Holy crap, you, you, you watch your words, Yanzi!]

[I'm terrified listening to Lin Chuyan speak.]

[Well said, hahaha, Yanzi, keep it up.]

"What can't be said about this? We should be realistic when dealing with people; I do have a conflict with him, and this conflict hasn't been resolved and I don't intend to resolve it."

"The new song for Aiyue.com? You mean 'double blades', right? It's coming soon. What is this song about? It's about conflict and clashes."

Goodness, he just finished talking about Director Deng Yu, saying he didn't intend to resolve the conflict, and then immediately comes a song like this? No one would believe it's not directed at Director Deng Yu.

Holy crap, who offended whom exactly?

"What movie am I going to film? That's a secret. It's not even in the initial stages yet, so I shouldn't brag about it casually. Family, we should be humble."

Netizens: ...

You were so arrogant before, and now you're talking about being humble? You don't have confidence in the movie, right?

It's no wonder people think this way; even the fans don't have confidence.

"That's enough, family, 5 minutes are up. It's only 8:30, it's still early, let's continue studying."
