564: Chapter 564 Lin Chuyan's Unexpected Charm

After his identity as a "philanthropist" was exposed, Lin Chuyan's reputation finally reached the absolute peak of his career.

"My brother is a good man, a truly great man! And my sister-in-law too—no wonder she hasn't donated individually since she got together with him. It turns out the two of them secretly started a foundation!"

"When other celebrities drive luxury cars and live in villas, I get jealous, but if Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu make 208, so be it. They may earn a lot in a year, but they haven't donated any less."

Devotion in relationships, dedication to work, and outstanding professional ability... everyone was already tired of talking about these merits.

What everyone is currently obsessed with is the contrasting charm fans have discovered in Lin Chuyan.

Fans have become completely obsessed: "Look, what is my brother's attitude towards Haters on a daily basis? Either cold sarcasm or direct confrontation. But do you really think he is that kind of sharp-tongued, mean-spirited person? NONONO, that is just a facade; you haven't seen the heart full of great love hidden beneath his 'exaggerated' exterior at all!"

"The so-called 'meanness' is reserved for bad people! In reality, my brother is soft-hearted and full of kindness!"

Fans even found concrete evidence.

The short video that Lin Chuyan recorded for a little girl from Singapore named Li Shiya at the premiere of pegasus 2 was dug up. [Note: See Chapter 340 for details.]

Someone made it into a contrast-themed video and posted it on Bilibili:

The first half consists of Lin Chuyan's various sharp retorts on Weibo and the quotes he has made in public that could give Haters internal injuries; the second half shows his foundation's donation records and the words he said to the little girl in front of the camera.

His tone was gentle, every word and sentence sounding like a big brother next door: "Hello, little sister Li Shiya. Big brother hopes you can grow up happily. While you like me, don't forget to take care of yourself and the people around you—this is also very important. Also, study hard, let's keep working hard together."

I'm convinced, completely convinced. So this is the real Lin Chuyan!

The key is that this message to the little girl was just an unintentional act on Lin Chuyan's part, and a whole year has passed since pegasus 2! Even regarding this foundation, if it weren't for someone maliciously smearing him for "not donating," who would have known about his donations? He never markets this point!

This feeling of netizens discovering it themselves, thereby revealing the true side of an artist, and finally realizing with shock that this artist is ten thousand times more outstanding than imagined... it gives me goosebumps, truly goosebumps.

This contrast video quickly climbed to the top of the Bilibili trending list and began to spread to other platforms.

Countless people left comments under this video.

"The more fiercely Lin Chuyan scolds Haters, the more I can feel his gentleness."

"My brother acts all happy-go-lucky on the surface, but in reality, he holds great love in his heart, wuwuwu. I'm impressed, he's only 26 years old!"

"Another day of envying the Venice Best Actress!"

"I don't know why, but this video moved me so much. I don't usually pay much attention to celebrities, but I didn't expect there to be such a high-quality idol in the entertainment industry."

"A former Hater here to apologize. I'm sorry, Lin Chuyan. Thinking about it now, I used to chase after him to smear him just because a certain thing Lin Chuyan said made me unhappy. Looking at that sentence again now, Lin Chuyan was just telling the truth. Truths are often piercing, that's all."

Brother Mosquito also came to leave a comment.

He has the right to speak on the matter of "turning from a hater to a fan"—he even did a handstand while washing his hair for Lin Chuyan!

But the more he paid attention to this person, the more he was moved by his personal charm. Whether it was music, film and television dramas, or Lin Chuyan's character, every time it refreshed his understanding, eventually making him completely convinced... So, could he not know what kind of person Lin Chuyan is?

But this time, even he was shocked—damn, a foundation, and it helped so many children!

Brother Mosquito was once again filled with admiration for Lin Chuyan. Lin Chuyan is like a treasure that can never be fully excavated; whenever you think he is outstanding enough, he can always bring you new surprises!

Brother Mosquito simply edited one sentence, yet it accurately expressed everyone's inner thoughts. For a time, the comment section was flooded with the same sentence:

"Gentlemen, this is the true idol!"

Lin Chuyan's fan base grew even larger.

This time, new fans started with Lin Chuyan's character and gradually realized what kind of capable man this is.

As for those old fans who have followed Lin Chuyan for a long time, the term "true love fans" is no longer enough to describe them; perhaps only the word "loyalty" can interpret their true feelings.

Loyalty!

As for those Haters who were still smearing Lin Chuyan, they were having a hard time too, and were now in a chaotic mess: "Damn, he has been roasting us for so long, the fact that this guy has a 'sharp tongue' should be irrefutable, right? And you're telling me that he has now successfully 'cleared his name' and come ashore?"

"It's hard to accept, big brother!"

There were also Haters attempting to smear Lin Chuyan's foundation, questioning whether its source of funds was clean, but the data was right there, completely open and transparent—the couple founded the foundation without accepting a single cent of donations from the outside world; it was all paid for out of their own pockets! There was simply no way to smear it.

Fans also had something to say: "Since Lin Chuyan started promoting la la land, how many times has he been smeared during this period, and when have they ever produced solid proof? Every time they get rubbed into the ground by Lin Chuyan, have they not learned their lesson yet?"

Furthermore, the fans were not stupid: these rumors appeared so densely, they knew who was behind the mischief. But the current situation was excellent; since Lin Chuyan could win the bet fair and square, they wouldn't create extra trouble for now and would endure it temporarily.

Once la la land's box office breaks 3.5 billion, just watch how they roast Director Deng Yu, and that will be that!

...

On Director Deng Yu's side, he never expected that his quick, accurate, and ruthless operations, with all sorts of tactics deployed, would ultimately backfire.

That feeling of trying everything to suppress the other party, only to watch helplessly as they became increasingly dazzling while he himself stepped step-by-step into a desperate situation, was just too damn uncomfortable...

With the exposure of the Yanyu Foundation, the pre-sale box office of la la land marched forward triumphantly without any obstacles, destined to completely crush him and finally grind him into powder.

What should he do? Director Deng Yu, Producer Zhang Nuo, and their team racked their brains, thinking it over, and finally reached a conclusion: there was no other way but to seek peace.

But the problem was, he had smeared Lin Chuyan so badly before, and with Lin Chuyan's vengeful nature, would he let him off easily?

Producer Zhang Nuo hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "If there's really no other way... you should go and apologize to him in person..."

Producer Zhang Nuo didn't say this lightly. Last time they tried to seek peace, they went through a middleman to find Producer Zhang Man to bridge the connection with Lin Chuyan, but were rejected. But if Director Deng Yu went to seek peace in person, would the situation be any different? Maybe...

Director Deng Yu's face turned ashen.

He didn't refuse, nor did he agree. When the words left his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that even he didn't recognize it: "Let me think about it some more..."
