386: Chapter 386 Pre-made Dishes

Lin Chuyan's livestream ended while he was quietly studying.

The broadcast time was from eight to ten, two hours, not much—he had to wake up early tomorrow to film, so he needed to sleep early.

Strangely enough, he spent these two hours just reading, yet the audience didn't find it boring or dull.

His fans had already summarized the reasons.

First, it was because of his face. Whatever he did, it wouldn't make people feel bored; just looking at him was a treat for the eyes.

Second, it was his Pomodoro study method. Every half hour, he would take a 5-minute break to chat with everyone and relieve the boredom.

Third, his chatting was truly sincere. After watching, the audience couldn't believe that these things could be said so directly.

Fourth, they could watch him show off his relationship. Who wouldn't be curious about that?

Generally, Lin Chuyan wouldn't play with his phone during those 25 minutes of study time; there was only one exception, and that was when Ruan Xingyu sent him a message.

He smiled as soon as he looked at his phone, smiled as soon as he looked at his phone—even a fool would know who you were chatting with!

And Lin Chuyan was very honest even about this.

"There are actually people saying I'm not focused on reading? What's the deal? Can't I even reply when my girlfriend sends me a message?"

When someone asked him what Ruan Xingyu sent him, he didn't hide it either.

This guy would grin whenever he mentioned his girlfriend: "She said she wanted to be the number one benefactor, but she also praised me for not enabling donations, saying it was the right thing to do."

Fine, fine, fine, so that's how you show off your relationship.

Yanzi, wipe that smile off your face! You're getting cocky just because she praised you once? Are you that easy to manipulate?

However, looking at it this way, Ruan Xingyu is also watching the livestream, right?

Consequently, the comments section flew by again, all filled with "Hello, Sister-in-law."

After the broadcast ended, many friends sent him messages.

Some were worried, some were curious, and Lin Chuyan replied to them one by one.

Even Li Mujian also asked about the matter of becoming a director.

Fearing his teacher would worry, Lin Chuyan promised to have a good talk in person after returning to Beijing, but couldn't help adding: "Teacher, I want to improve so much."

In short, after all this, only one person was left being roasted over the fire.

Director Deng Yu was once again tied to Lin Chuyan on the trending topics.

# Lin Chuyan He Doesn't Deserve It #

# Lin Chuyan double blades #

# Lin Chuyan Reverse Blacklisting #

# Lin Chuyan Livestream Studying #

The trending topics didn't mention Director Deng Yu by name, but when you clicked in, almost everyone was talking about him.

He doesn't deserve it? Who is this 'he'?

"double blades"? What is this song about?

Reverse blacklisting? What exactly is going on?

Director Deng Yu was speechless watching this.

He had indeed been investigating Lin Chuyan during this time, but he never expected that the more he dug, the cleaner he found him to be.

This guy is truly a freak.

He did his job well, had acting skills, talent, and dedication; he was practically a model young actor in the Chinese Entertainment Industry.

His private life was clean; he didn't go out messing around, worked out every day, and only had one female assistant by his side—who, crucially, was a lesbian!

Plus, he had a superstar girlfriend with whom he was deeply in love…

Even his subordinates—whenever people from his own side suggested something, the other side would be on high alert. Cooperation? It was a miracle if they didn't curse them out.

What kind of love potion did Lin Chuyan feed his employees?

They're practically shouting "Loyalty," right?

After thinking it over, there was no other way but to resort to smearing him.

But he hadn't even made a move yet, and this little bastard had already fired the first shot?

Director Deng Yu was already itching to act: Damn it, the guy had practically named him in the livestream; could he not respond? Although he hadn't cursed him, he had been passive-aggressive the whole time! He really couldn't swallow this anger!

Last time, when he was inexplicably tagged on Weibo, and when this guy's fans also came to tag him, he had already endured it.

Once or twice was fine, but how many times has this been now? Was he supposed to keep enduring it?

Words like "I'd rather jump off this building and die outside than acknowledge Lin Chuyan" had already been forgotten by Director Deng Yu.

He had to respond!

Consequently, while attending an event, taking advantage of a reporter's question, Director Deng waved his hand to stop the staff from blocking it and spoke up himself.

"Director Deng, have you been following Lin Chuyan's livestream these past two days? He publicly stated in the livestream that you aren't qualified to teach him how to make movies. How do you view this?"

"I haven't followed him for a long time; I didn't expect him to mention me. I won't comment too much on this, but I can only say that young people should have a sense of awe for the industry."

"Director Deng, what is your evaluation of Lin Chuyan preparing to make a movie himself?"

"Lin Chuyan…" The expression on Director Deng Yu's face was strange, as if he wanted to laugh but forced himself to hold it back. "I wish him success! Because directing is very difficult."

Director Deng Yu was about to leave, but the reporter added a word too many: "Because when you made your first movie, you were about the same age as Lin Chuyan…"

What did that mean? Did it mean that Lin Chuyan could do what he had done?

Director Deng Yu couldn't help but interrupt the reporter, stating firmly: "He can't make a good film! This is hard to evaluate; actors should just stick to their own duties. Directing a film isn't such a simple matter… Different professions are like mountains apart; that is my advice to him."

"Then do you think he really wants to make it, or is it just hype?"

"I don't know what he's thinking. Acting well and then becoming a director? I see he's even reading 'The Art of Film Directing'; I read that book decades ago, and he's trying to cram at the last minute now… Besides, he doesn't think he can make a movie just by reading one book, does he?"

Director Deng Yu smiled nonchalantly: "It's just nonsense."

However, the reporter didn't give him any face: "Director Deng, it seems you are still following Lin Chuyan, knowing what book he is reading."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face; the reporter was a bit too excessive in tearing him down like that, so Director Deng Yu turned and left after hearing it.

Because he couldn't help but respond, new trending topics appeared again.

# Director Deng Yu This Is Hard To Evaluate #

# Director Deng Yu Says Lin Chuyan Can't Make A Good Film #

# Director Deng Yu I Wish Him Success #

Director Deng doesn't act unless necessary, but when he does, they are golden sentences…

It's just that these words sounded a bit familiar to Lin Chuyan.

By now, his goal had been achieved—Director Deng Yu finally couldn't help but enter the fray.

Also, this big brother's words were a bit contradictory.

Lin Chuyan pondered: On one hand, he asserted that he couldn't make a good film, and on the other, he wished him success? You can't even make your point clear!

…

Lin Chuyan started another livestream at eight the next evening.

After starting the broadcast, he didn't greet anyone and continued studying.

Consequently, the atmosphere in the livestream room was very strange.

A bunch of people were spamming the comments, saying all sorts of things. Yet, the man in front of them stared at his book, ignoring them completely.

The streamer ignored the people, but the audience wouldn't leave.

Damn it, is this the charm of a top-tier celebrity? You've really figured out how to play the Chinese Entertainment Industry.

The current situation was that Lin Chuyan's fans had started following him to read and study, while the Haters wanted to see how long he could keep up the act; in short, they were all pitted against Lin Chuyan.

Brother Mosquito was also one of them.

His idol was livestreaming, how could he not show support?

What's more, he was actually studying!

Brother Mosquito loved it even more—he planned to study with his Junior on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and study with Lin Chuyan on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Wouldn't this life be incredibly fulfilling and ambitious?

Perhaps this was the power of an idol!

However, most people still wanted to watch Lin Chuyan chat.

[Bro, Director Deng Yu responded to you, aren't you going to say a few words?]

[Yanzi, he's talking behind your back! He's being sarcastic! We can't just endure this, right?]

Lin Chuyan didn't hesitate.

"Everyone, don't talk nonsense; Director Deng clearly said he wishes me success. What was 'the play' Douban rating again? 4.2, right? Fine, then I'll strive to make one that surpasses it."

"Surpassing 'the play' should be hopeful, right? After all, in my eyes, 'the play' is just a pre-made dish. A romance novel with tons of original fans + Valentine's Day release + marketing, the topic discussion is maxed out, plus there have been successful cases of the same operation in the past… If this isn't a pre-made dish, what is?"

Lin Chuyan said slowly, and the next trending topic was already booked.

"Since there are pre-made dishes, there are also pre-made people."
