Long time no see 2

- [he started a stream but deleted it bc technical difficulties] LYN: I still can’t see what you’re typing, and I can’t see how many people are in the stream or if any are coming in. I can’t see anything at all, this is so strange. What’s happening?? This ruins everything. There’s only one thing I can do, friends. I’ll have to restart my computer. Fam? I’ll have to restart my computer, fam. LYN: Let me log-in on my phone, see if I can see anything. // ? Why can’t I see the comments on my phone either? Weibo doesn’t allow comments now? How awkward. I can’t see the comments on my phone. Then, it’s not my problem but weibo’s. // Why is it like this? How can it do this to me? LYN: Oh. Okay. It’s not important. Weibo’s already sent me a notice that they’re trying to fix it. If the problem persists, I just won’t stream today. LYN: I’ll just pretend that everyone is extremely enthusiastic, then. Mountains and seas of people, and they’re all complimenting me and telling me I’m handsome. That’s what I’ll believe. I even wore a wig for today... and I can’t even see how you like it. Doesn’t that mean my money was wasted?

LYN: /sigh/ I can’t see anything and I even logged in on my phone. I guess the only thing we can do now is wait, right? // I’m going to delete the previous one. ... I still can’t see. Oh? It’s working! I can see on my phone now. LYN: Should we just give it a rest for today? C: Why is it only one person’s comment? LYN: I figure weibo is working on it, it’ll be fine in a moment. They can fix it. Let’s not rush.

C: Come back in. LYN: Yes, we all know to go out and re-enter the stream. Can you have a nicer attitude? The problem is that no one can see what you’re typing, so there’s no point to telling them to re-enter. They can’t see it! So you should say, “Ning-ge, tell them to re-enter the stream.” This way will work, not “I already told you, re-enter the stream!” Watch your attitude. C: I went out and came back in three times now. LYN: This is a mess. Let me ask weibo- if they can’t fix it then we’ll forget it. // It’s alright. It’ll be fixed in a moment. C: Ning-ge, you told me to watch my attitude, so I will. I’ll say, “Alright, babe. Re-enter the stream.” LYN: That’s not what I meant by telling you to watch your attitude. The situation is that they can’t see what you’re typing AT ALL. So there’s no point to telling them to re-enter.

C: We’ll use telepathy. LYN: Oh no, I can’t see your comments here anymore, either. Let me restart. Ok, I can see the comments from my phone. LYN: Is it fixed now? C: There’s only my comment. Hehe. LYN: Yes- if you can only see your own comment, that means that my stream was made for you, personally. In your path of chasing stars, here you can get the one on one service. Even if you aren’t my fan, we can still enjoy the one on one.

LYN: This is no good, I don’t think we can continue to stream tonight. Even watching the comments on my phone is spotty. Now they’ve stopped completely. No one is typing. Then, let’s not stream today. I’ll see if I have some time tomorrow to come stream. This will influence my condition. LYN: Oh! It’s fixed! My computer is fixed. See?? Look at this- this is the result of weibo’s technical team. If you have a problem they can fix it immediately. It hasn’t been three minutes and they’ve solved a headache of a problem. If it were any normal person this would be a hard fix. It’s fine now, right? I have to say, it still has to be Weibo. Let’s pretend the past 10 minutes were a hallucination. LYN: Let’s pretend I have just opened the stream. You all can react as if you are seeing me for the first time.

LYN: Hallo everybody, good evening. I am Modern Brothers’ Liu Yuning! Welcome~ LYN: Some of your are saying I’m very handsome, right? /laughs/ Um... I’m alright~~ Today we have more of an.. orchestrated look.

C: My roommate told me you were streaming. LYN: Is that right? What a nice roommate. Given them things and buy them a milk tea every once in a while. I think the fact that they were able to remind you of my stream means that they are a good person.

LYN: It’s been a while since I last streamed, and so I wanted to stream a little today and chat with you. I know it’s a little early- I know that a lot of people get off of work at 6p and you aren’t off work quite yet. If you’re not off work yet, continue to focus on work. You can watch my stream at your own pace when you get home. I’m sure that after you get home, eat dinner, and shower I will still be here streaming. Work and school is first and foremost. I know you might be in a rush to get home, but please be careful on the roads- anyone driving should stop watching and drive carefully, and anyone catching the train should be mindful not to miss their stop.

C: My mom and dad have been waiting for you for three days. LYN: What are your mom and dad waiting for me for?? Is the range of my fans that great now? Are they waiting to watch my stream? Or is it that you bluffed and told them I was your boyfriend? “Mom, Dad. My boyfriend is a streamer. When he comes on next time I’ll show him to you so you know what he looks like!” That’s not what it is, right? LYN: I’ve seen some fans take my picture to go trick their moms. They say, “Mom, this is my boyfriend” and their mom looks at the message and says, “This kid is pretty good-looking, what do you think he saw in you?” They didn’t actually say that. Maybe, “This kid looks pretty skinny, do you think he has a good family situation? Is he going to be okay?” and my fan said, “He’s okay. Pretty tall, at 189cm.” That is, a lot of people take my picture to their mothers and tell them they’re dating me, and their mothers aren’t satisfied with me. These aunties, really... have high standards. C: My parents both know you. LYN: Then... thanks! Thank you Aunty and Uncle. C: My mom says I’ve picked up a treasure. LYN: Can you not use me to trick your family members anymore?? I don’t really care about being taken advantage of or anything, but if you do this you might make your mom’s standards higher. Later when you want to find a boyfriend or husband and your mom doesn’t like them, who are you going to blame? Me?

C: Lao-da, I resigned. LYN: What are you telling me for? Go find a job. Are you planning on coming here to work? I’m not looking for employees at the moment.

C: Can you sing today? LYN: My song-fans came? Can I sing today... I can. I said that I would have a stage performance in a few days’ time, but due to my schedule I don’t think I will be able to make it. Now you can only anticipate my performances for the end of the year. But, if you have a dream then anywhere is your stage- even if that place is a small little streaming room. C: I’m also a singer. LYN: Are you? Erm... get out. You haven’t heard the saying “peers are enemies”? Get out, stop listening to my stream.

C: Ning-ge, where are you going for the New Year? Which broadcast stages? LYN: Don’t be like this. Normally this type of information is spread online by the media accounts, because they always have the “insider information” don’t they? Now you’re trying a different route and asking me directly?? That makes it seem like no one cares where I go, and only my fans care.

LYN: I’m sure many of you who watch my stream are fans of other artists, because I saw a few of you come and ask me if I had Zhou Shen’s WeChat ID. I’ll send it to you? Why are you asking, do you want to chat with him about work? Someone else asked me what ZSX was doing these days. Oh my goodness... C: I want ZSX’s QQ (instant messaging) ID. LYN: /laughs/ I can tell you’re just a kid. People rarely use QQ nowadays.

C: Ning-ge, I’m your legs-fan. I’m here. LYN: Other than song-fans and acting-fans, I also have legs-fans. Because these legs of mine can mesmerize you? Don’t you guys celebrate the new year with pig’s trotters? Do you buy trotters home to braise for the new year? No? You have a chance. Ning-ge will send you a pig’s trotter. Being a fan of my legs is really weird, isn’t it?

C: Ning-ge, do you watch soccer? LYN: I do, but I don’t understand. I mean, I watch with others, when they’re watching it. But it’s not as if I have a deep understanding of the sport. It’s the World Cup. It’s fine for people to have an interest. // I don’t really understand it though, so I’m not going to sit here talking to you in depth about it. I don’t want to make a fool of myself. C: Ning-ge, which team do you like? LYN: Um... I like... “OOO” [t/n: idk sports/this reference, so good luck with that.]

C: I want to see the pink hair. LYN: I’ll wear it the next time I stream. I bought a bunch of different colors. This one counts as gray, I guess. I put it on earlier and I looked like a fool, but I was able to style it alright, and I look fine now.

C: Do you like basketball? LYN: As a boy- as a MAN- I’m a little adverse to sports, but I still watch here and there. I don’t understand how it all works very well, though. C: “Boy” hahaha LYN: What’s wrong with saying “boy”?? Is that not okay? Hey- isn’t there a song called “男孩”? I’ll gift it to you. -- 男孩 (Liang Bo) LYN: I haven’t warmed up yet. So, I’ll stop.

LYN: Hey, can you all change up the script? Every time I stream you all say that “my roommate says you’re handsome.” Are you ALL students? You’re all students?

C: Ning-ge, the way you sung just now really involved too much cracking. LYN: What do you mean by that?! That’s just the way I purposefully chose to sing it. What do you mean I cracked too severely, you sure are an interesting one. I purposely gave off the rough/gravelly feeling- to show that this man has a story. You use different tones to sing different songs, that’s the logic. The song earlier “That Boy”- you know, boy’s voices are a little unstable, so it could give that stuck sound. I’m giving it a texture- like my voice is made of sand.

C: Ning-ge, my cat says your handsome. LYN: LOL, your cat can talk? Watch out- your cat might eat you while you’re sleeping. It can talk.. how terrifying.

LYN: ??? What are you spamming the chat with? You want me to touch my adam’s apple? What did you mean, I didn’t really see clearly since it was being spammed. Also, watch out- don’t make me kick you out! There’s no spamming here. You’ll be kicked out. I didn’t see, I think it wanted me to touch my adam’s apple?? Are you a pervert? These little girls are so perverted nowadays- be a little more normal!

C: Ning-ge, this hair makes you seem old. LYN: What do you mean? “This hair makes you seem old.” Just think of it as I am cosplaying an old man (lao tou). You can call me “Lao Liu-tou.” Does the hair look too much on the white side? I don’t look lively, do I? /sigh/ LYN: Why else do you think this color is called “grandma gray”?? It SHOULD have some age to it, or what else did you think?? It’s not like it’s called “young kid gray”. Having some age to it is normal. LYN: I just can’t chat with you about anything fashionable. I’m already bad enough, but you’re making me think I’m too fashionable for you. You just don’t get me. Friends, do you know of a thing called “long johns”? Have you heard of it? When winter comes my grandma always tells me to put on my long johns. Have you heard of it? It’s very fashionable. C: That joke was a little cold. LYN: It’s not really a joke...

- [t/n: I’m going to skip frequently said phrases like the intermittent “subscribe to my weibo, let’s chat” and the age old “when is OOO drama airing?”]

- ALZ /has/ notified him to do the voice-acting for LMX, though. Again, he only has around 200 scenes. C(s): Handsome! /I look forward to seeing Luo Mingxi! So handsome!/ I want to see Tian Xing Jian. LYN: A lot of the people complimenting me are my fans, and I know there are a lot of passersby here, so I just want to say please be understanding. When my fans call me handsome, as a viewer or passerby or spectator, please be understanding. You know the saying, “You own child is the best.” I’m sure even if you’re not parents you think that your kid will be the most handsome/beautiful, the cutest, and the smartest, right? It’s the same principle. My fans see me the same way and think that I am the best and the most handsome. Even though the “handsome” part has been disputed by a lot of industry leaks. At least the rumors that I’ve gotten this far in four years by relying on my looks has been knocked down by a few ugly pictures. If that’s the case then it means that I’ve been able to stick around for four years purely based on my talents. Being able to debut- starting out as a busker on the streets of a small city, until I am able to be a singer, actor, and contract all these OSTs- all of this is purely based on my talents. It has nothing at all to do with my looks, because I’m too ugly. /sarcastic/

C: Ge, you should think about getting eye-bag surgery. LYN: What nonsense is that? ... Do you think I haven’t thought about it? If I DID, wouldn’t there need to be a recovery period? I’d have to rest for at least half a month, right? Don’t think I haven’t thought about this. The problem with this is that I’m too busy. Who’s going to give me 15 days of rest to recover from my eye-bag surgery? Also, I’ve asked before and the doctor said that my eye-bags are very small, so there’s not much to cut. There wouldn’t be too much of a difference, other than the fact that I’ll have darker eye circles. I said, “Yeah, I always stay up through the night” and they replied, “Well if you didn’t stay up at night, this would fix itself.”

- /people commenting on how Luo Mingxi is so handsome and they’d like to see ALZ and TXJ soon/ LYN: I don’t know about LMX... because around that time, honestly... let me put it this way: the production crew really did its best and used all of their tips and tricks to push me towards the “Flower Boy” category. Yeah. From the makeup artists’ perspective, they put their all into it. So... as for if LMX is handsome or not, that is... not certain. I was really quite ugly during that time. These past two years there were a couple times I thought of myself as good-looking, or better-looking than normal. The first was the period of time I was recording Our Song with Penny-jie. I looked pretty refined and had a clear jawline, then. I was good-looking at this moment in time. The other time was when I filmed an ad for LeShi (乐视). Well- I guess it doesn’t count as an ad, as I am no longer working with them- but at the time! The next time I find myself decent looking has to be more recently. :) This is the peak of my looks, now. I never considered myself good-looking before, but I do think I look nice now. Especially when we finish shooting a scene and I go to monitor the playback. I think to myself, “Is this me?” :D The YNGS lighting and makeup teams are making me look so good. The wig makes me look so sharp. I think the combination of lighting, costuming, and makeup for YNGS is very nice. It helped me find confidence in my visuals again. But! I was exposed by a few ugly pictures online. So then I started to wonder if I was every handsome at all. I thought I was handsome! LYN: Since we’re on the topic, I can admit that I do think I look a little better than I used to. I was working out for a bit and I was in pretty good condition, and- I think my eyes have been a little bigger lately. Of course, that includes using the products from my collaborations. LYN: Anyway, as for LMX, the makeup teachers already did their best to make me look good. But the truth is I was just average. The most average of average. We’ll see though. I don’t even know how it’ll come out- I’ll only know once I get into the studio for doing the voice-acting. As for TXJ, just think of it as a special drama. It isn’t an idol drama after all, so the appearance and everything is more of in the rough direction. You don’t need to pay attention to whether I look good in it or not. C: Jiang Junhao. LYN: Him? I don’t think he’ll be very handsome. But it’s a modern drama, and if you look at it as an idol drama you’re already losing. It’s based more in reality. They didn’t make me particularly handsome or anything. LYN: I don’t think you should watch dramas for whether the people in it look good or not. If that were the case I would just do magazine shoots. I’d look good in every photo because we’d be able to ‘shop them. But for dramas- at least the ones I am acting in- I don’t think appearance is something I’d use as my initial considering factor. The role is the most important.

*[t/n: i’m gonna try to skimmmm, bc I’ve fallen terribly behind OTL]

- /refuting rumors that a drama has pretty much fixed LYN for the ML role, but the FL role is still in discussions bc they’re unable to come to agreeable negotiations with lyn’s studio regarding ranks/positioning./ * ? for The Prisoner of Beauty/Zhe Yao/折腰; rumors were Song Zu’er, then Yang Chaoyue for FL LYN: My group sent me this article and then I wanted to look under my bed. Was there someone hiding under there? Was someone listening to me talk in my sleep?? Or what is it, I’m not sure. LYN: It’s just really strange. I’ve said time and time again that I don’t really care about ranks. I’m a singer- and I’ve participated in a lot of events. You know how during the galas/events they always release a poster of who all will be attending? I really don’t care where you position me. This type of thing is meaningless to me. I don’t care whether my name goes first, second, or wherever. I don’t care. I just do what the production company wants me to- they can put me where they’d like and I won’t dispute it. Even if you put my name on the list under “cameos”, I’ll think it’s a funny joke. LYN: It’s just pure nonsense. It doesn’t matter which production I sign with- on the very first day there will be someone who asks what our requests in regard to ranks is, to make it clear so that there are no issues later on. My team and I always say the same thing- It doesn’t matter. They can put us where they’d like. We decided to move forward with the project, so all we need to do is make sure we are fulfilling the role to expectation. I will never quit just because someone else was listed ahead of me- that’s totally unnecessary. I don’t fight it. When you start fighting for something that just means that in some people’s eyes you don’t deserve it. I’d rather not fight. When I reach the rank I’m qualified for, others will give it naturally. C: So that means you’re confirmed for the drama? LYN: No! That’s not what I meant! I was just saying that’s par for course for my PREVIOUS dramas. Don’t start making up rumors! C: Did you ask for a role for Daimi? LYN: My dog? I’m at the point where I can mentor new stars? I can bring my dog and tell them to arrange for her to be in the drama?? Do you think I have that much pull now, that I can ask them to include my dog, or I’m walking out? X’D

-- break #1

- /finds it amusing that people like to ridicule or make fun of him, and when his fans fight back they are accused of being too easily provoked. As if making fun of someone in the first place makes them a superior person.. (◔_◔)/

C: Ge, you’re trending? LYN: Really? No way! Absolutely no way! // Is the trending term “where did lyn buy his wig?” or, what is it? “LYN Livestream”? C: Entertainment #38. LYN: Oh... What’s wrong with Entertainment?? Who’s looking down on who? That’s also impressive. Why don’t you all do me a favor and enter the topic to type five- no six- words: “Liu Yuning is super duper interesting”. Alright? Go spam in the comments. That’ll make sure I jump from 38 to 35. Do it for me, please. - /he goes into the topic to check it out... tells them to stop making comments because the topic dropped from 38 to 39 instead of rising/ LYN: Come back. Let’s just continue doing our stream. This just goes to show that not all efforts have a satisfactory response. This is an obvious case study. But still, we should keep working hard.

LYN: Let me sing a song. The other day I suddenly remembered a song I heard many years ago. It’s called “一个歌手的情书 (The Love Song of a Singer)”, do you want to hear it? If you don’t, then forget it. If you want to hear it, then type it into the chat. LYN: (the topic) It’s at 40 now? Come back, then. It was going to be 37-38 but then because I told people to go make comments it’s dropped to 40. Alright, whatever. Let’s forget it. Since it didn’t go the way we wanted let’s widen our worldview and forget it. When you’ve lost something, just use “expanding your worldview” as an excuse to distance yourself from it. - /prepares for the song and grabs his guitar to keep us appearances; remembers he bought a strap for it and goes to get and attach it./ - /finds out he’s trending on the main tab at #22/ LYN: This story just goes to show that when you’ve come to face an opportunity that you’ve put some effort into but then find out that your efforts are for nothing, don’t give up. Something unexpected might happen later on. Life is full of surprises. You might not see any results at the time, but the gains will reveal themselves later. C: The corners of your lips don’t seem to be able to fall. (he’s can’t stop smiling) LYN: Er.. “worldview”. I’m alright. This isn’t worth being so happy over. - /starts over bc the lyrics are “these past twenty years” and he wants to sing “these past THIRTY years”/ -- 一个歌手的情书 (The Love Song of a Singer)

C: Ge, I’ve got to do pcr testing now. LYN: Go, go. You don’t need my permission for that. Do your own thing.

C: How strange, now your wig doesn’t look too bad. LYN: How bad did it look to you before? Was it really weird? What a coincidence, you’ve finally gotten used to it but now I want to go change it.

C: My Third Aunt says your singing is nice. LYN: Give my thanks to your Third Aunt. - C: I haven’t heard the real person sing Zou Ma. LYN: Because all the other versions were a fake version? I’ll sing it. But.. I want to change my hair, this one is a little uncomfortable... - C: My Second Uncle thinks your singing sounds nice. LYN: Thank your Second Uncle. - LYN: :| I don’t have a single pair of shades with me... /shuffles around/ This’ll have to do. - LYN: Give my thanks to your Second Uncle. - LYN: Oh, these (glasses) make me dizzy. /takes them off and tosses them away/ -- 走马 (Zou Ma) C: Ning-ge, I’m doing my postgrad exam and I felt suddenly relaxed hearing this song. LYN: Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to bring you this relaxation.

- /trending at #11 on the main tab/ LYN: See how professional I am when it comes to music? I heard the news that I’m at #11 and am not overexcited but instead still immersed in my music. Since it’s come to this point, let me sing a quieter song, since I know many of you just got off of work. You need some calm music to regulate your emotions. -- 霓虹甜心 (Neon Sweetheart)

LYN: There was a moment in there that I felt really old wearing this wig. As someone who is older in age, actually LOOKING it is something we care greatly about. Ever since one of you commented earlier that I looked old wearing this, it’s been circling around my head. Let me go change it. I can’t take it anymore. Wait for me, I’ll play you a video.

LYN: I look younger now, right? Let me see if I’ll look even younger with these shades.... /puts on some yellow shades/ Just average. /takes them off/ Let me get those other ones back.

C: Have we crossed back in time to the other stream? C2: Trust me, this is a different one. LYN: What do you know about fashion?!? C: What about the pink one? LYN: I have it, but I think I look like an idiot. It doesn’t look good. Oh my goodness, you don’t believe me. You just WANT to see it. I’ll go get it and show you. I don’t know if I should get them fixed or cut it when I get it, but when I wear that one I look dumb. Let’s see how dumb I look! No one’s going to think that they accidentally entered a stream selling wigs, right? That’s not the case, I don’t have that type of business yet. I just look too dumb in the pink one! C: My friend wants to see it. LYN: If you want to see it, just say so. Why do you have to say that your friend wants to see it? LYN: /about to put on the wig/ Why do I feel a sense of shame??

LYN: What do you think, tell me yourself. What’s going on here? I won’t say it. I think everyone who has even an ounce of aesthetic/fashion sense knows. You tell me what’s going on. Look at this- do you think this is okay?? Right? This has nothing to do with fashion anymore- what is this??? /messing it up/ LYN: My market value right now has been cut by one point. Liu Yuning’s Market Value, because of this wig, has been reduced by one point. C: Because it’s not on right? LYN: That’s not it~~ - /tries to fix it/ LYN: It just looks dumb :( This isn’t working. Stop messing with me. C: Take off the glasses. LYN: What do the glasses have to do with it?? It’s weird. LYN: Let me play you a video. I need to go adjust my mood. I started off happy enough but because of this I’m breaking down.

C: The first wig looks the best. LYN: !! Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ve been busy this whole time for nothing. You’re just like the bosses in those companies. You had me write a project proposal but you weren’t satisfied with it and told me to write another. After I’ve finished editing it three times, you go back and say the first one was the best.

LYN: Alright, that’s enough. I just wanted to do a light stream for you all. LYN: ... LYN: /sigh/ LYN: ... LYN: Let me sing a song! Sing a song to lift my mood. -- 寻一个你 (Searching for You) LYN: Better than the original, I must say.

-- 清晖 (Qing Hui) LYN: That’s my first time singing it live. I’m not quite familiar with the arrangement yet. Just listen for fun.

C: Ning-ge, your recent OSTs all sound very nice. LYN: What do you mean? Are you trying to say that all my previous OSTs were just average? Is that it? I suddenly want to sing a very early song... LYN: It (the accompaniment ver.) doesn’t have lyrics. This one does, but it’s the song itself. Let me see what I can do... /saves the lyrics from one ver. and copies it to the other/ -- 孤独的人在哪里 (Where are the Lonely People) LYN: This is a song that was on my first EP after debut. It’s been a long time since I last sang it. /sigh/ It wasn’t popular. :| But, I didn’t release this song because I wanted to be popular, I just hoped it would be.

LYN: Don’t spam the comments, telling me you’re going to give me a villa. I don’t need it. Go away. Give it to someone else. I don’t need it. The house I’m renting right now is quite nice. The main thing is it’s too much to maintain, so I’m fine where I am. LYN: If you really want to give it to me, that’s fine too. I’ll raffle it off right here in my stream to one of my viewers. Are you going to give it to me? If you’re sure, go contact my Studio. When you have all the affairs in order I’ll raffle it. C: That’s a good idea. // Ning-ge, give it to me. LYN: You. I always tell you there’s no such thing as a free lunch. When have you ever received a free lunch, that was still fresh and warm? You could receive something that was fresh and warm, but that thing could also be a diaper. Never a free lunch. How can you believe such a thing?\

C: Would LYN’s autograph ever fall from the sky? LYN: I don’t think so. Well! There IS a possibility. That is, when one of my fans decides to stop being my fan. Let’s say they live on the tenth floor. They’ll tear up my autograph and throw it off their balcony. The pieces rain down upon you and when you put them all together you find out it was my autograph. There is that possibility. LYN: But friends, don’t disturb the public. Never throw anything from your windows. Not even if it’s money.

C: Will LYN ever fall from the sky? LYN: My fans’ hearts are so cruel. If they can't have something they must destroy it. “I can’t have LYN? Fine, jump and d*e. LYN, you must d*e!”

C: You’re still streaming? LYN: It’s alright isn’t it. I’ve only been streaming for around two hours. I got a trending topic and I’m pretty happy today so I’ll stream a little longer. If you haven’t yet subscribed to my weibo, you can do so.

C: Ning-ge, is there anything lately that has made you unhappy? LYN: Why do you think I would be unhappy?? Why? Was I crying today, and you saw me? I was streaming but couldn’t bear it anymore, so I ran to the bathroom to cry and you saw through my cover? No, right? C: The topic dropped. LYN: D: Huh? Did it drop? Oh, well. It’s not important. The topic dropped... so I’m leaving now. Bye bye. I hope you have sweet dreams, I’ll be leaving first. Goodnight. // It’s not worth it. It’s alright, it doesn’t matter. I won’t cry. LYN: There’s nothing that’s made me unhappy these days. Nothing sad or unpleasant. It’s all just normal. You’re making it seem like I’m in a bad mood. I’m not!

C: The sound of the music is too loud. LYN: That’s what we’re going for here. I want the music to fill your mind so that you’re floating in a sea of sound. The music needs to be loud. If it were too low then it’d be like we’re taking classes. I’ll turn it down for you, though.

LYN: If I were to be forced to be in a bad mood today, it’s all because of the wigs. That pink wig totally destroyed my mood for the day.

C: Wujiapo live ver. LYN: You want to hear this, right? Ah, Ah, Ah~ Let me see if I can find it and I’ll give it a try, but I haven’t really learned it well, because it is an operatic song after all. I haven’t learned any Chinese opera techniques. Just listen for entertainment, and I’m not a professional so my singing is just mainstream style. -- 武家坡2021 (Peking Opera: Wujiapo)

LYN: 摩登爱情 (Modern Love)? Let me see what song this is... have I sung this before? I think I have. I sang it last time! Let’s do it. -- 摩登爱情 (Modern Love)

C: Ning-ge, you look like a bodyguard now. (保安) LYN: Bodyguard? I’m SECURITY. (安保) I look like those security in those idol dramas. I’ll have an earpiece here. LYN: “The artist is coming down now. Watch out, watch the crowd. Don’t let the fans get close. Alright? Ok.” “Right this way.” LYN: Then they make it downstairs and there are no fans. LYN: “Make way, make way. Oh- there’s no one here. It’s fine. It doesn’t matter. :’) I’m only here to get paid.” LYN: My clothes here say “H-E”, don’t they? I’m Love Security. - C: Rang Jiu next. LYN: Do you think you’re at the KTV, requesting songs?? - LYN: My clothes say “H-E” Happy Ending. B-E. (Bad Ending) I didn’t know this before, and thought it meant “合 (hé = get together)” and that BE was “掰 (bāi = break up)”.

LYN: The other day I went to record the OST for ALZ... I guess it also counts as my character song as well. It’s a nice song and fully embodies the life of Luo Mingxi. You can listen to it when the time comes. C: Was your OST a “H-E”. LYN: It’s like this- usually the leads are H-E; but I am sacrificed. I sing to help the leads reach a H-E but it’s B-E for myself. C: That didn’t happen for The Long Ballad. LYN: That’s true. It doesn’t always happen.

-- break #2

LYN: There’s a song I keep wanting to sing, but I don’t dare to. I have a very iconic OST, but I don’t know if you’ll remember it if I say what it is. I don’t dare to sing it, but I really like this song. // LYN: There are so many people here who seem to be my song-fans. You all want me to sing, which makes me feel.. Happy. :) You keep asking me to sing things and happiness is just written all over my face.

LYN: I really like this song. I remember when they first sent me this song I thought it sounded so nice. When I accept an OST the first thing about it that I consider is whether I think it’s nice. LYN: Then, I’ll sing this song. A gift for all my good friends here. -- 你說愛情啊 (You Say Love)

C: Ning-ge, which new year’s stages are you going to? LYN: Why do you ask. You’re going to watch whichever stage I go to, anyway. Don’t ask questions. You’ll find out later.

LYN: Let’s chat a little. Is there anything you want to talk about? I’ll sing again later. I can’t do it consecutively. I kept looking at this. /picks up his kazoobie/ I haven’t used this very often; I feel like my money is going to waste. I need to find a song where I can use it.

C: Then let’s talk about life. LYN: Do we really need to go that deep?? Talk about life... whose life?

C: Where’s Daimi? LYN: Daimi’s been in Hangzhou these past few days. She was looking a little ugly, and there aren’t really any good grooming places around Hengdian. I had my group send her to Hangzhou so she can get some beautification. As a female artist, we still have people invested in Daimi. I’ve sent her to Hangzhou to get a haircut and a spa treatment, etc. We need to maintain her appearance, because she’ll inevitably appear on camera and get caught by the paparazzi. LYN: One day I walked out of the makeup trailer and discovered that everyone is taking pictures of my dog. They don’t pay attention to me anymore. My bro walked out carrying Daimi first, and I followed along behind them. I found that everyone was taking pictures of my dog. I walked past her and it was a mistake. LYN: It’s not like I want them to only take pictures of me, but they can’t ONLY take pictures of my dog and NONE of me, right? I suddenly felt like my dog is more popular than I am. C: Are you disappointed? LYN: No. C: Do you want to rethink having her endorse things now? LYN: What could she endorse? Like kibble or fur trimmers? // Didn’t someone ask my if I was unhappy today? Yeah, it’s because my artist (Daimi) is more popular than I am. I’m jealous. C: It’s time to open Daimi’s Studio. LYN: I don’t need to. I wont let her become part of the entertainment industry. Just let her be an “internet star”. C: Let her play the female lead. LYN: Is someone going to invest in an animal-centric movie, where Daimi plays the female lead and they find another small dog to play male lead? I’ll see if there are any producers I can push her onto. Everyone else pushes people, I’m over here pushing my dog. C: Ning-ge, I want Daimi’s autograph. LYN: Is there even a market for that now? How would she do it- just a paw print? You even want a dog’s autograph. I think this game of chasing stars has gotten a little too perverse. C: Bring her with you when you do modern dramas. LYN: Let’s not... I mean, I don’t... I rarely confirm for modern dramas. I like doing guzhuangs. I guess if there’s an opportunity (for a modern drama) I can see if I can get her in it, too. She can leech off my fame.

C: Are you wrapping at the end of the year? LYN: I don’t think we’ll be able to wrap before the end of the year. Or- which new year are you referring to? We should be able to wrap in early January, just about.

C: You look handsome in modern dramas. LYN: Not particularly. You might think that when I go out to some event or stage performance I look pretty decent, but that’s only because of all the makeup they put on me! That’s makeup for the stage, and I’d be wearing stage clothes. I can’t shoot a television drama and be dressed up in it like I am for my performances. That would be weird. I’m just very average, alright? Modern dramas... will get shot again at some point, when there’s a suitable role for me. But for the moment I quite like shooting guzhuang dramas.

C: Do a mukbang when you get the chance. LYN: What should I eat? Also, what’s there to stream about? I’ve seen other artists doing mukbangs before, because I wanted to know how they go.. but I don’t think I’m suited for them. I don’t like the mood of the stream to drop. But those types of streams are more of a stress-relieving type. I... can’t manage it.

C: Lao-da do you have variety shows? LYN: No more variety shows this year, I don’t have time to pick one up I’ll probably do at least one next year though. I think it’ll be quite fun, but we’ll see. C: Will there be a second season of The Truth? LYN: Um... let’s just say I hope there will be. C: Is (the one next year) a music variety? LYN: No, I... don’t really want to be on a music-variety. There are only a few good fixed music variety programs each year, but they just don’t work out with my schedule. Music-Varieties are at most 12 episodes, but involves a lot of preparation in terms of the music. You can spend up to three months’ worth of time on it. I really don’t have the mental capacity to split between the drama and variety show. There has to be a compromise, or else what can I do.

C: Do you still remember “The Day in the Life of an Artist”? LYN: You mean the stream I said I would do, showing you one day in my life? I remember. But didn’t I do one last time, with HZT? // Another one was going to be of me putting together my Lego sets.. and I won’t do that one because I don’t have the time to put them together. C: Ning-ge, I started liking you through watching Fresh Chef 100. LYN: That program... is not likely to start up again. It’s hard for any program nowadays. C: Disney stream. LYN: I can still do that one... I just have to wait until the drama is done.

- Broadcasting Platforms (by most likely to air first) :: ZC = IQiyi & Tencent | TXJ = Tencent | ALZ = Youku | BYOL = Youku | YNGS = IQiyi

C: Will YNGS air next year? LYN: I don’t think so. Dramas at the fastest air within one year of their wrap date. But this one I think would air maybe by March 2024, at the earliest. It’s also possible that it airs at the end of the year (2024). There’s no way to predict for sure. zIt sucks for actors because they spend their time shooting a drama that doesn’t see the light of day or one or two (or more) years. You just have to keep shooting dramas and hope they come out. LYN: So what you have to do is maintain your health and keep living. There will come a day we live to see the drama air.

C: Talk about New Life Begings. LYN: I don’t have the time to watch it, so I don’t know what you want me to say about it. I wasn’t a part of it, I only sang the OST for it. I’m sure it’s a very good drama. You can watch when you have the time. Support it. Go support every drama I sing OSTs for, to save me some

C: Ning-ge, the more I watch, the more I want to climb the wall (leave the fandom). LYN: ?_? That’s your own choice... but first, get out of my stream.

C: Ning-ge, how did you get the Givenchy collab? LYN: Why are you asking this in such an odd way? I... went up to their door and knocked on it, fell to my knees, kowtowed, and begged them to use me. Usually artists get these collaborations because the company themselves find your company/studio and ask to talk. They discuss the terms, duration, payment, what title you will be given, etc. Who goes around asking for these types of collaborations themselves??

- /LYN’s Work Philosophy: “I won’t put myself out just for a job.”; he does not want his staff to overwork or inconvenience themselves to get him a job, either./ LYN: It’s not necessary. If you think I’m worthy of your job, you’ll come find me. If you don’t think I’m worthy, then you can find someone else.

C: Ning-ge, can you tell my mom “happy Birthday”? LYN: Aunty, Happy Birthday. You’re the best. I wish you health and happiness.

C: Ning-ge, I really want to enter your team. LYN: /sigh/ If there’s a chance, we can collaborate in the future.

C: Ning-ge, people work with you because you’re a good person. LYN: I’m an average person. I tend to contract brand endorsements less frequently, and the reason for that is because I just really don’t like taking the pictures. I don’t think I look good- and when it comes time to take ad photos I find it troublesome and I’m not confident. Drama is okay, though (on video). I mostly don’t endorse things because I don’t like taking the pictures and ads. So I very rarely will sign into a contract.

C: Do a magazine shoot. LYN: There’ll be chances. The last time I did one, was the last time. With ZSX and YCY- that sort of counts as a shoot, even though it wasn’t for a magazine. That was already a huge breakthrough for me. I said, “Let’s do it. To promote the drama.” And that was the last time.

LYN: It’s about time, I’m a little tired now. I suddenly felt like I was tired. I should stop streaming. I’ll wait until there’s 30mil and then sign-off. I suddenly felt so tired, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I haven’t really eaten today? I ordered some noodles for lunch but I thought they weren’t very good. I had a bite and it was... bad. I guess I didn’t really eat, so now I feel a little tired. C: Low blood sugar? LYN: No, just tired. Then, I’ll just sign-off. I don’t think that I’m able to process anymore. It’s strange. Then, it’s about time. LYN: Thanks for keeping me company. I hope you had a relaxing, wonderful, and happy night. It was great to have you and I hope you enjoyed yourselves. If you still haven’t subscribed to my weibo, you can do so. It’ll let you know the next time I start streaming. I hope... if you have time you can come watch me. :) If I don’t have anything going on in the coming weeks I’ll come to stream. Alright? Hope you had a great- what day is it?- It’s not important. Goodnight, everyone. Bye bye.
