409: Chapter 409 Hello, do you want a green card?

Just like Lin Chuyan and Director Lin were chatting about on the day they wrapped up filming for "lotus lantern", "journey to the west", as the nation's number one IP, must still have plenty of areas left to explore and unearth.

As long as the story is good, as long as it can capture human nature and touch people, what is there that cannot be written?

"summer of the little monsters" is a very simple story, but its strength lies in how unconventional it is.

When everyone else is writing about the Monkey King, Erlang Shen, and the various deities in heaven, suddenly someone writes about a little monster on the master and disciples' journey to the west?

Not the White Bone Demon, not the Black Bear Demon, not even a famous little monster like Benbo'erba.

It writes about the smallest of small characters, a Little Pig Demon on Langlang Mountain.

He is just like the countless office workers in real life, with colleagues by his side and a leader above him. Colleagues love to gossip, and the tasks assigned by the leader are suffocating...

But he remains kind, and one day in the future, when destiny arrives, he chooses to stand up bravely.

Others write about monsters eating Tripitaka; this writes about a monster protecting Tripitaka. This fresh perspective alone is already better than many stories.

After all, the story is only 20 minutes long, so the script text isn't very long.

Lin Chuyan only spent one night writing it out. There were a few Lines he couldn't quite remember, but that wasn't a big problem; he could slowly ponder and fill them in over the coming days.

Living in Shanghai, he stays wherever his girlfriend stays; he's essentially just clingy.

However, the planned schedule was still disrupted.

He originally thought that since both sets of parents were coming to visit, he and his girlfriend would have to accompany them. He didn't expect that they didn't need them at all, and even complained that the two of them were too conspicuous—if they were recognized, it would be even more of a hindrance...

Lin Chuyan thought about it and felt it made sense, so he simply let it be and let Xia Zhi and Wen Qi accompany them instead.

He decided to just start a livestream at home.

To be fair, he hadn't streamed in a while...

During the month of filming after "lotus lantern", the internet connection had been unstable, and after wrapping up, he attended two awards ceremonies back-to-back, so it dragged on until today.

He didn't even give notice before starting the stream, just going with the flow; it didn't matter to him if anyone watched or not.

If everyone hadn't been intensely scrolling through Xiaohongshu these past two days, they might have actually missed it.

[Holy crap, why is Brother streaming suddenly!]

[I'm going to tell the fan group~]

Very soon, the number of people watching the stream increased.

Also, netizens noticed that Lin Chuyan didn't seem to be studying this time?

[Is he... drawing?]

[Holy cow, my brother has this skill too!]

[What is he drawing, ahhhhh!]

[Lin Chuyan, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about???]

The brushes and sketchbook Lin Chuyan bought the day before had arrived, so he just stayed home and livestreamed his drawing.

He started drawing the monsters from his memory, then drew storyboards for them.

[Is this... a wild boar?]

[No, it's... a wild boar demon?]

[What about the other one? A bird? A crow?]

Lin Chuyan was the same as always; he didn't pay attention to the audience while drawing—if you want to watch, watch; if you don't want to, feel free to leave.

What do you call this? This is called being willful because you're good-looking.

He seemed to have just finished showering; his freshly blown-dried hair was a bit fluffy and still slightly damp. Wispy bangs rested casually on his forehead, not obstructing his focused gaze. He lowered his head slightly, and his fingers, holding the brush, looked even more nimble than usual.

There was only the scratching sound in the livestream room; just watching like this, it seemed like people's hearts settled down as well.

Of course, there were still plenty of netizens making lewd comments.

[Draw, hubby, don't stop, definitely don't stop.]

[Hubby's fingers are so long...]

[Love is restraint; this time I won't make any lewd comments.]

[Hello, let's get married! (I don't know who Ruan Xingyu is)]

As the stream went on, there were even quite a few English comments mixed in, seemingly flooding in from all over the world in the past few days.

[Daddy, come and suffocate me!]

[Swiping away is like a divorce...]

[Hey do you want your green card?]

[I've seen him in an advertisement!]

Besides this group of English speakers, many girls from Japan and South Korea also flooded in; now girls from all over the world were watching the handsome guy together.

Sure enough, truly good-looking people know no borders; people from any country can appreciate it the same way.

How does that saying go? Turns out everyone is equally lustful, and the relationship between everyone suddenly changed.

Sisters, we are all sisters, all people of the same kind.

[That said, is what my brother drawing storyboards?]

[Could it be the movie he wants to film?]

[An animation? It's all animals, and the art style looks quite similar.]

Just like that, throughout the night, Lin Chuyan drew all the storyboards for the first act from memory, and in the middle, he even added a few Lines to some important scenes as markers.

Occasionally, when he got tired of drawing, he would look up and chat with the fans, taking the opportunity to promote his short film through the livestream.

He naturally wouldn't reveal the specific story content; you can't spoil this kind of thing.

What he shared were his drawings.

"Yeah, it's a wild boar. Calling it a Pig Demon is also correct."

"Is it ugly? Maybe he has a beautiful soul, hahahaha!"

"What kind of story is it? The only thing I can spoil is: it's related to journey to the west."

If you talked about anything else, these netizens might not be able to chime in, but if you mention the nation's number one IP, everyone's interest is piqued.

[journey to the west???]

[Didn't you just finish filming lotus lantern???]

[Playing Erlang Shen wasn't enough, so you started filming it yourself?]

"It has nothing to do with Erlang Shen. It's just an inspiration that came from chatting with the director after finishing 'lotus lantern'."

"Mm-hmm, right, I'll shoot a short film first to practice; I guess I won't keep everyone waiting too long."

However, as they chatted, some netizens noticed something was wrong.

Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's wrong.

When Yanzi is talking, why does his gaze keep drifting to the left of the camera?

That would be one thing, but why is there a woman's hand reaching into the screen and stuffing strawberries into Lin Chuyan's mouth?

[Brother, is your girlfriend next to you? Don't be shy.]

[Xingxing! Want to see Xingxing!]

[Holy crap, living together, right? Cohabiting, right?]

[A beauty adding fragrance to the study, right? That's too much, that's too much.]

Ruan Xingyu was reading the "la la land" script, trying to memorize the Lines, and when she got bored, she watched her boyfriend draw. There were washed strawberries next to her, and from time to time, she would feed him one.

Sometimes, when she felt mischievous, while Lin Chuyan was speaking on the livestream, she would stuff a strawberry into his mouth to interrupt his casting, which was quite fun.

Lin Chuyan was between laughter and tears: "I'm leaving for 10 minutes; I'll finish eating the strawberries first."

He stood up and walked out of the frame.

[What kind of strawberries take 10 minutes to eat?]

[You'd better just be eating strawberries, not planting strawberries.]
