It's the New Year!!!

bgm: 晒Share (live ver.) - Da Zhangwei & Liu Yuning

LYN: Hallo everybody, good evening. I also want to take this time to wish you a Happy New Year. Happy Year of the Dragon~ C: Your hairstyle doesn’t look good. LYN: It’s the new year, do you HAVE to make me sass you? You just HAVE to give me trouble…

LYN: Today I’m a Sunshine, Cheerful, Big Boy. I just wrapped up with work- I was shooting the costume drama earlier in the day, so my hair was flattened under a wig. When I got home I didn’t want to wash my hair and try to style it- it would be troublesome. So I just took the wig I used when acting as Xiao Bei (Cicada Girls). Now I’ve saved two bottles of shampoo. LYN: It’s a wig! LYN: Someone earlier said that this hairstyle doesn’t look good, but I’ve used it to film a whole drama! Are you going to start calling me ugly before it even airs?? C: No, you’re the most handsome. LYN: Thank you, everyone. In any case it’s the New Year and spirits are up, so let’s try not to be too aggressive/angry. See- look at how harmonious I’m being right now. I used to talk back at my fans all the time, but recently I’ve- I’ve gotten better, right?

LYN: I’m drinking tea. It’s not beer! The color isn’t even similar. Here- I still have the bottle.

C: I went to play mahjong. LYN: Look at you- I’ve started streaming but you’ve gone to play mahjong? I mean, you can play but… you don’t need to tell me about it! Just go play. Why are you telling me?? C: You should still sass us a little. // Your wig’s about to fall off. LYN: It’s okay if it falls off. I’d just be a little bit uglier, is all. Not to say that it falls off and all you see is a bald head underneath- there’s no way that would happen. But.. I’d rather not have it fall off.

C: We finally meet. LYN: Ah, yes. We have a lot of new fans- and since they've started being my fan they haven’t been able to catch a live stream. Well, that’s why I’m here today, isn’t it? :)

C: The speaking volume is low. LYN: Let me adjust it; I haven’t used this equipment in a long time. LYN: How about now? Is it better?

C: I’m a 20yuan new fan. LYN: What does that mean? I don’t get it this joke. Does it mean that since you’ve started liking me, I have to give you 20 yuan? In that case… how about we forget it (you can stop being my fan)? Can you earn money by chasing stars? Is it a one-time payment, so you’ll be my fan forever? Or is it a monthly payment? C: Ning-ge, I thought you were up to speed on all the internet memes. LYN: I’m not so much anymore these days… also whenever I do surf the net, nothing I see is related to “Liu Yuning”. So I haven’t been paying much attention, and I don’t know what a “20yuan new fan” is.

C: How long will you stream for this time? LYN: Don’t ask. That’s a bit of an awkward question. It’s like when you go home for the New Year, and your mom asks you how much you get paid a month. It’s the same as when all your relatives start asking about how much you make. As for how long I’ll stream, it’s not definite. I’ll stream up until the time I leave. “How long will you stream for?” Until I stop streaming.

LYN: The track you’re listening to now is the OST for the movie YOLO (热辣滚烫). I know many of you have gone to watch it, and some of you are fake fans. Because you didn’t even realize by the end that I was the one who sang this song.

LYN: Of course, I don’t blame you. I did use a different way of expressing myself for this song. From a musical perspective, I used a different method of expression. To be honest, I’m not even used to it myself. C: It’s a totally new style. LYN: Not entirely brand new, but certainly a… unique style.

LYN: ? Why does this wig make me look really silly? I feel like I look really silly? LYN: I’m wearing a purple sweater and now I have a radish-head (?). I look like a purple radish that’s transformed into a sprite/elf.

C: Why are you wearing a wig today? LYN: That is… um… what’s it to you? LYN: Nah. X’D I said earlier, that I was shooting the drama during the day and since I have to have te wig on it smashed my hair flat. I figured if I was going to stream I’d have to do my hair so I was thinking about how I should style it. But I didn’t really have the time today- LYN: I also think my speaking voice is a little low. Let me make it louder. LYN: -and then, I didn’t want to waste time. I wanted to stream a little bit longer so if I had tried to make my hair presentable I’d lose a lot of time. Also, I woke up too early today- a little past six. I finished up with work and came straight home to stream. Because it’s really been too long.

LYN: I was scrolling through weibo and saw people saying that after they’d become my fan they had never once seen me stream. They’d never seen me stream. After I saw those comments I felt a little… guilty. You’d come to know of me through a drama and wanted to become goods friends with me, but I never streamed. Now I feel like I owe you. Im getting yelled at online everyday, because I haven’t streamed for you. That’s no good. Especially since I haven’t streamed solo for you. So since I wrapped up earlier today I figured I would force a stream out. C: Do you really feel guilty? LYN: Um… of course! Definitely. So guilty that I hide in my blankets and sob. LYN: It’s just that I didn’t dare to stream before the Spring Festival. It just seems like everything I say nowadays… (can easily get blown out of proportion). I was afraid, because just one of my streams is three hours long and I’m pretty much talking nonstop. What if I say something and give them opportunity to find some loophole wherein they can stick a label to me and destroy my market value? Wouldn’t that render me unable to attend Spring Festival anymore? So I was just trying to avoid the storm and make sure that I could successfully pass Spring Festival, after which- here I am. I’m sure all my old fans know why I didn’t stream. Of course, it’s also because I didn’t have the time to. LYN: Why did I dare to stream today? Because I don’t have any dramas that are about to air. If I say something (that’s used against me), I can just bear through it- just like catching a cold. I can lie in bed for 5-6 days and the topic would blow over. Spring Festival is over so I came to chat with you, and even if I don’t exactly watch what I say, everyone should turn out fine. C: How was Spring Festival? LYN: I’ll tell you about it later.

LYN: We were talking about this song, 热辣滚烫. It was a perfect timing- Qian Le-laoshi found me and asked if I wanted to sing a song. I asked him “what song?”, and he replied that it was for a movie. I agreed. But the caveat was that I had to sing it as if I was not a person who knew how to sing. When I first heard that request it seemed like a bit of a challenge, to me. I needed to sing this song as if I were someone who didn’t know how to sing. Why? They wanted a more real feeling. They didn’t want any fancy techniques. If you listen, you’ll discover that this song has no vibrato, no strong/soft execution, or emotional singing. There’s none of that. It’s just… Very basic. Sincere. That was the requirement for this song. LYN: When I was recording the song I ended up with head full of sweat. We were working in the middle of the night- because this was a bit of a rush request. I finished up work around 11p and by the time I reached the recording booth it was already past 12a. We recorded and finished up at around 4a, and I continued on my way to work in the morning. It’s a song I recorded very seriously, and it was a new challenge for me. When it was all finished and I listened to it, I thought, “Hmm… It’s a style I’ve never tried before, indeed.” But it was also quite nice. As a singer or an actor, trying out a lot of different styles and feelings you haven’t before is pretty interesting. It’s a unique song and I hope you like it.

C: It wasn’t easy waiting for you to stream. LYN: There’s nothing hard about it. All you have to do is subscribe to my weibo and you’ll see my streams. Just keep an eye out. - /comments on how he pronounces it “weiber” bc of the Dongbei accent/ - /uses the announcer voice to announce his “2023 Weibo Livestream King” award/

C: Ning-ge, why does it look like you’re wearing a wig? LYN: Your eyes do not deceive you. You really have an eye for detail. It IS a wig. C: Ning-ge, I dreamt that I was shooting a drama with you. LYN: You want to be a celebrity? You’re a friend- we’re the same type of person because we both have dreams of becoming a celebrity. Keep dreaming. LYN: They dreamt of shooting a drama with me… was it a normal interaction, or something… something that if said aloud, would get cut? I don’t know. But in any case, you just want to be a celebrity, right?

C: Where does the sound of laughter come from? LYN: /presses the laughtrack/ LYN: Weibo has a very impressive function, and can tell when your words are funny. If it’s funny, it will automatically play a special effect. It’s just like when you’re sending messages and if you type in a certain keyword, special effects (emojis, stickers, etc.) will pop up. Weibo is high technology. As long as you say something that’s interesting, it will naturally play the laughter. LYN: “Liu Yuning” /presses the laughtrack/ LYN: Is LYN very laughable?

LYN: How are there some people who are so annoying! I only just started streaming and you’re already asking me where Daimi is!! If you really want to see her, when I stop streaming I won’t just log off. I’ll leave the camera on, strap her to this chair and let you see her. I’ll trap her on this chair and let you watch her for another hour. LYN: I’m here streaming, and you’re asking me where my DOG is??? In that case I’ll just make a post. I’ll post some pics of her. I’ll stop streaming and leave. LYN: ~How annoying!~

C: Consider taking part in a long-term variety show. LYN: I’m considering it. There will be, soon. I think I’ll be shooting for a variety show soon, because it’s part of my yearly business plan. At least one variety show every year. Usually either a music-variety or something in which I think I could relax and have fun in if I went. Last year I didn’t record any, though. LYN: Last year, because of some reasons, I didn’t record any. I received a lot of calls, and even booked one. I arranged for time out of the drama crew and everything- and then it failed before it even started. I had already reserved the time! They said, “Soon, soon.” and then later… “We’re not doing this project anymore.” I said, “Alright, then.” LYN: In that case, I figured I should book a variety show for this year. I booked one and then that other show got back to me. “We’re relaunching the project.” They just don’t want to play with me. It’s not that they couldn’t do it in the first place, they just didn’t want to play with me. Ok, then.

C: It won’t fail again this year will it? LYN: Probably not? Don’t curse me like that!! I’m pretty happy to be recording for this show, too. In the end I don’t even get to start and it fails again? This, at the New Year??

bgm: Fall in Love - Modern Brothers Liu Yuning - /stream lags/ - 27:06 [bgm: 一念关山 - Richie Ren] LYN: It’s still not fixed yet? (the lag) It should be working now, right? - /mic test/ LYN: It’s fixed, right? If you’re lagging, leave the stream then come back in. -- starts singing 一念关山 w/ a rocky start XD LYN: It just landed on that song and I’ve heard it a lot but never sang it, so I thought I’d give it a try. See how well that turned out. These lyrics are so difficult. I couldn’t keep up. I was looking right at them and reading them, but I still couldn’t do that properly.

bgm: 晒Share (live ver.) - Da Zhangwei & Liu Yuning LYN: This song, also- overturned everything I once knew about how to sing a song. I’m the type who- I’m better at- no, not “better”- OF THE GENRES I SING, are things more like for costume dramas. Something with a strong jianghu style. Or “emotional boy” type songs- or pretending to be emotional. Either that, or more rock style. But for this type of song- like DZW’s- I need to… pinch the tone a little (make it cutesy). I turn myself into Dongbei pincers/clips. You need to “pinch” a little when you sing. - /sings the example between pinched and not/ C: No wonder your stage teacher was laughing. LYN: I can’t even stand the sound of my own voice like that. I’m just a born and bred Dongbei man. My natural tone isn’t like that at all, so I have to “pinch”. When I hear myself- I already don’t possess a young sounding voice- but I have to pretend that I’m younger.

C: 窝囊废文学 [t/n: loser/wimp/cowardly literature: pretending to be tough then contrasting it with a weak and spineless statement to create irony and self-deprecating humour] LYN: I know there was an interview and they asked me if I had heard of this, and I said no. But honestly, I have heard of it. At this time I would like to apologize to that interviewer- I lied. I didn’t tell you the truth back then, because I wanted to pretend I was a melancholy boy who did not surf the internet. But on the inside my DNA was awakened. I couldn’t contain myself. I hope that this year on the list of “most insincere artist” my name is not on it. Thank you. I’m sorry. I’d like to apologize. LYN: ~ Making me angry, counts as making cotton wool angry ~ LYN: Anyway- people who say that interview couldn’t help but to yell at me for it. Saying, “LYN, you’re a grown man, how could you sound so sissy? Do you think you’re very cute? At your age?? Why are you acting like my second aunt?” I was just imitating an internet meme, and you still have to yell at me for it?? LYN: ~ Excuse me, you’ve kicked me but I’m cotton wool ~ ~ Sorry but yelling at me online only means you’re yelling at a sea sponge. ~ C: I want to hear more. LYN: LOL. LYN: ~ Liking me means you’ve taken a liking to a soft persimmon. ~ Why? Because anyone can ~pinch me around~.

C: I really want to see your inventory. LYN: ~ Sorry. ~ ~ I lied again. ~ There’s really nothing in my drafts- just one or two pictures that I think about posting but don’t. There’s really not much in it. I don’t have things stored up. Not very many, at least. Just the few pictures.

C: How come the program schedule changed for Spring Festival? LYN: These things, how can I say it…there’s no good way to arrange it. The program is one thing. As for which wether we stick to the program is another thing. Because we’re live streaming, so it’s not as if everything can be controlled. As singers and actors, or even stage actors, we need to adapt to changes. I don’t care where they put me, as long as I am able to sing at all. I don’t want it to be the case where they tell me, “Xiao Ning, we’re unable to fit you into the schedule for Spring Festival. Why don’t we see you at the Lantern Festival instead?” That would be the worst. But as long as my good friend DZW and I are able to give you a bit of happiness, that’s enough. C: I was so anxious and scared I almost cried. LYN: You thought my program would be taken out of the lineup entirely? Because it was mostly dancing, you were afraid they would cut us? I’m sure you were worried about that. It’s normal, and these things do happen. It’s okay, though. It’s a first time experience for all of us. LYN: We just go by how they arrange it. If it really were the case that we were unable to perform. They’d probably let us on the 15th of the lunar new year, at least. As long as we’re in the fifteen days, we’re all still celebrating. If we can give you some happiness within the range of the “New Year” it’s all okay. C: I almost smashed my tv. LYN: It’s not worth it! Oh my goodness. Why are you venting your anger on your own stuff??

C: Is this a livestream or recorded? LYN: It’s recorded. This recording is so accurate I’ve already predicted that someone would ask me if this was a livestream or recorded. Truthfully this is recorded, everyone. You think you’re seeing the real me right now, but actually this is a recording. Right now I’m playing a video. I’ve already calculated exactly what time to play it, too. The time now is 7:59p. It will soon be 8p.

C: I was watching you stream and got yelled at by my mom. LYN: Why? D: Why did you get yelled at for watching my stream? Does your mother also have an artist that she likes? Someone who I have some friction with? Is that what it is? You and your mother are from rival camps? It’s not worth it. If that’s the case, then please stop being my fan. Go get along with your mom. Don’t let me get in the way of your relationship with your parents. That’s no good.

C: I’m watching with my mom. LYN: It’s good to have common hobbies. C: I grabbed my mom to watch your stream with me. LYN: A lot of you are watching with your mothers? C: My mom says you look foolish/dumb. LYN: Jie. What are you saying, jie? Jie, I’m not dumb. I’m so smart- like a monkey. LYN: Maybe this hairstyle looks a little dumb, though? You think this hairstyle makes me look a little dim-witted? Its like how I sang this song. /sings a line/ Does it give off that feel? Jie, I’m not dumb. Jie- if you really think that way, why don’t I go change my hairstyle? Into something smarter. Wait for me, five minutes. Let me go change my hairstyle. I’ll see if I can change into something smarter. Let me find a video to play for you. LYN: Oh, great. I don’t have any. That’s okay. I don’t have any saved, so let’s look one up right now. LYN: Seriously, though. I’m going to go change my hair. I can’t stand myself anymore. Looking at myself, even I think that I don’t look very bright. Let me play this video for you. -- break #1 (I guess)

LYN: Jie, I’m back. You haven’t left, have you? The one who said I looked foolish- you haven’t left, right? I’m back now. You said I looked foolish, so I went to change for you. Hold on a sec, let me see how to close this… Eh? Oh? Hold on… /finally got it/

LYN: ~Woman. You’re playing with fire but you’ve successfully gained my attention. I need to know everything about you within 3 minutes.~ LYN: ~What? You want to know what my name is? I am Leng Shao.~ C: Oh, my god! LYN: ~I’m sorry. You’ve been struck by me again.~ C: Where did “Leng Shao” come from? LYN: My streams are like an ongoing drama series. If you miss a few episodes you’ll have no idea what the “Leng Shao” joke is. ~ My cheesiness has caught you again.~ C: This isn’t as good as the previous one. LYN: … Let’s just make do.

C: Put it on properly. LYN: /starts fixing his hair/ Okay, I got it. I was rushed so I didn’t have time to style it any sort of way. Let me fix it a little. C: Can you change it back? LYN: … You think I’m so easy to push around?? I’ll change an outfit just because you say so? - LYN: /sobers/ Is this a little non-mainstream?- C: My mom ran away. LYN: Stop messing around. If she’s old enough to be your mother that means she’s all sorts of things in the world already. I am nothing in comparison to the things she’s seen. Don’t mess around. This is quite fine. C: It’s too late. LYN: She couldn’t take it anymore and left? Okay, then. Let her go. It’s not as if I was planning to go to your house and become her son-in-law, anyway. I was only just trying to respect each and every one of my viewers. You mom deciding not to watch me anymore was her choice. That has nothing to do with me and honestly… I don’t really care. Don’t think you can manipulate me.

LYN: Friends, don’t you think this style is non-mainstream? Now I have to find a non-mainstream song to match. Can you think of one for me? What song is non-mainstream? You can type it into the comments and if I know how to sing it, I’ll see if I can sing a few lines. What song suits this appearance? - I miss you - 我姓石 (My Name is Shi) [ /recites the lyrics/ ] LYN: Is it that one? Oh, I haven’t heard it before. (lies) I don’t really see these things that are trending online, because I am more of a secluded guy. - 玫瑰花的葬礼 (Funeral of Roses) LYN: Are there any others? Let’s sing another one. I’m not really familiar with that last one, so Leng Shao is now a little embarrassed. C: You’re embarrassed? LYN: I can say that I am, but you can’t say that I am. Because I never feel embarrassed. Maybe when doing other things, but I’ve never felt embarrassed when I’m streaming. That word isn’t in my dictionary. Because I can’t afford one. - C: Ning-ge, I’ll exchange ten years of being single for your to look at my comment once. LYN: I saw it.

- C: 坏女孩 LYN: ? I’ve never heard of that song. C: 不分手的恋爱 LYN: This song’s accompaniment track isn’t available, so please allow me to duet with WSL-laoshi. - 不分手的恋爱 (Never Breaking Up)

LYN: Okay. That’s about enough. C: Suddenly I want to change my QQ ID.

----------

C: Ning-ge, if you can see my comment, then send me a “yeah~” ^^V LYN: There’s no need to send secret signals in my stream. If I see you, send you a “yeah~”? Forget it. - C: Ning-ge, did you wake up naturally today? LYN: In the world of adults, how many can actually sleep until they wake up naturally? You must be going to school, still? That’s the happiest time of life, when you’re going to school. So… enjoy it. But, adults do get vacation around the new year!

LYN: I used to be in the customer service business- everyone knows this. I used to be a waiter in a restaurant- that’s customer service. Then later I became a cook, and truthfully that’s also customer service based. Later still, I was a clerk in a clothing shop. But these types of customer service-based jobs really don’t have such things as “holidays”. Especially now around the New Year. Everyone has time off and it’s actually the busiest time of the year for restaurants. At this time, pretty much everyone in the customer service industry is working. LYN: You’d think that after all my hard work to become a singer and an actor it’d be different, but it’s the same. We’re in the business of customer service. Actors are here to service the viewers. Singers are here to service the listeners. It’s basically customer service. And what’s the golden rule? The customer is king. That’s something that’s been ingrained into me from my time working in previous customer service industries. - LYN: There was that friend earlier, who said, “If you can see my comment, then send me a “yeah~”. Here it is now.

-----

C: Did you work today, Ning-ge? LYN: I did. I started working the day after New Year’s. We can’t really stop work in the drama crew, because each day that passes is money spent. Think about all the staff/crew- one day that we’re not working is still a day we need to pay them their salary. All the cameras used to shoot the drama are rented. The longer we rent them, the more money we need to pay for them. The hotels we’re staying in- another night that passes is another night we need to pay for. So it’s… we need to work. All drama crews are like this. LYN: I told you earlier, I woke up at 6am today. I was shooting a day full of fight scenes. I got back home and honestly I was tired and sleepy. I wondered if I should even stream at all. But I thought about it, and if I didn’t stream today I don’t know when the next chance I’d get would be. Thankfully we wrapped a bit earlier today. You don’t know how rare that is. Usually we wrap at around 7-8p, or 8-9p. By the time I’m done getting everything in order it’s already close to 10p, so I don’t stream. Today we wrapped up early so I thought I’d stream a little for you. LYN: Also, to the friends that are asking if I’ll stream until 12a- It’s not likely to happen. Please spare me.

C: Are there a lot of fight scenes in this drama? LYN: Very few. Not much. Because I don’t have very many scenes to begin with. C: Any horse-riding scenes? LYN: Only once. There’s not many outdoors shots, in this drama. // I’m talking about for MY role. Not much outdoors shots for my character in this drama. C: Youve finished filming? LYN: Not yet, there’s still about a little more than a month left. C: Ning-ge, have you signed a lease in Zhejiang? (?) LYN: For the past four years I’ve spent the New Year in Hengdian. Yeah, just about four consecutive years.

C: Ning-ge, you probably won’t die this time, will you? LYN: Uh… I don’t know. I can’t give any spoilers. But I just want to say- I don’t know why, but the roles I accept are- /thinks about it/ /gets sad/ Why?? /cries/ LYN: From the moment I debuted until now- the death rate for the roles I’ve accepted is about 70%. I was acting as supporting characters before- third, fourth , or even second male lead. They died. After all this time I’ve finally gotten to play a male lead and in the end I was stabbed to death by spears. LYN: As an actor, Liu Yuning very easily dies. There’s a saying that goes “It’s rare to die for once.” For me it should be “It’s rare to live for once.” In any case, please be mentally prepared when you’re watching my dramas. If you get too into it, I’m sure you’re going to be brokenhearted for me later.

C: Ning-ge, if I watch a 20-second commercial, will you be alive then? LYN: Do you think it’s a mini game? (watch an ad for more hearts/lives)

-----

C: Ge, do you have any varieties this year? LYN: I do. I said so earlier, so you must have just come in. I’m planning to do a variety show this year. … Do you know what it will be? I don’t know- was that interview released? I had an interview earlier and they asked me the same question and I actually responded. Has that interview been released yet? Has it? I don’t think so. C: I haven’t seen it. LYN: Maybe they cut that part. It doesn’t matter. LYN: Right! It’s not that I can’t tell you about it, just that since I actually haven’t STARTED on it yet, I’m afraid to tell you. Based on my previous experience, my mouth’s gotten me in trouble with things like this. I like to share with you when I’ve accepted jobs, and then after I tell you all about it the project/job folds. Either that or I’m replaced by someone else. It’s always like that. So now I… won’t tell you. C: Give us a hint. LYN: A hint? How about the third word in the name? No- I’ll do this, it’s very simple. /^^V/ That’s very obvious, isn’t it? I even responded to that person who wanted to send secret signals in my stream, again. ^^V. Isn’t this hint very obvious? [t/n: what is that, The Voice??] LYN: That’s right. It’s The Voice of China. Isn’t the logo for that show the peace sign with a microphone? I’m going to The Voice of China to audition.

C: Got it. Second concert tour. LYN: No, honestly- and wait until I’m done speaking. The reason why I don’t want to tell you is because I’m afraid that when I’m done telling you some of you are going to have a mental breakdown. It’s like this- /stalling/ I really do want to hold my concert this year, I do. But right now there are some things�� that I’m conflicted on. Don’t worry, it’s an internal conflict. If I hold my concert, then I’ll have to accept one less drama. But the projects that have come to find me look pretty interesting and I kind of do want to accept them. So now I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way for me to accept the drama role but also hold my concert. I’m trying to find a way that will allow for both. C: Alright, then. That’s not going to happen. (since he said it out loud) LYN: /laughs/ OMG, I only just gave you this “two” symbol, and you’re saying “Whelp. That’s the end of that.” 去你的! I already asked for leave from the drama crew! I need to go record for it. It should be soon. LYN: There’s a really good project, though. Originally I was intending to finish up this one, and do the next one and I’d finish up around July/August, at which point I can hold my concert. That was my intention. But later some projects came for me that I quite like. I’m still thinking about it. I need to make a decision. C: You can do either.

-----

LYN: Being a singer, to me- and I said this during that interview, too- it’s something very precious to me. To me, it’s a surprise. Whenever I release a song, or listen to a song, or come across people commenting on my songs- it’s a surprise. But I don’t ever want to lose it. As an actor- really I’ve only just started. My fans all kow that I’ve been shooting dramas for about four years, now. But honestly, I don’t really have anything to show. I’ve really only JUST started being able to accept leading roles. Honestly- let me play some emotional music- LYN: I’ve been in quite a few dramas, and that was because I wanted to learn more and hone my skills more. I wanted to be able to accept all the opportunities that came to me. But now there are some opportunities for leading roles, and some of the projects look really promising and I quite like the roles. I was thinking… I just don’t dare to let myself stop. Those who know me know that I haven’t stopped shooting dramas since I’ve started. Whenever I meet someone and they ask me what I’ve been up to, my answer has always been, “I’m shooting a drama.” You really have to keep it going, because the post-production period is so long. Some dramas are one year, one and a half, or even two years. Something you shoot this year might not be released until at least a year and a half later. If you delay it, then the time when people will see you will also be delayed. I’m afraid to let myself stop shooting dramas. I was shocked, recently by various things. LYN: I feel like I am a little fat, honestly. [t/n: ?!??] Sometimes I’ll take selfies, for fun. But when I look back at the pictures I took I feel like I’ve gotten fatter. I should be more self-aware. As an artist or an actor, I need to be more self-conscious and start losing weight. You all know that I’m down to the thinnest I’ve been in my career. I’m already very thin, though. But your body is bound to be unaccustomed to losing weight out of the blue, so I found that I keep getting sick. I kept getting low fevers that lasted a week. I’d be fine in the morning, but then have a fever at night. I’m not trying to make you pity me; I’m just sharing. I’ve also put in the effort towards being an actor. I’ve also given it my all. Of course, at my age catching a cold is normal- there’s nothing to pity me for. I just want to say that I’ve worked hard, too in order to make myself a little thinner. To not look as swollen-faced on camera.

LYN: I don’t want to let myself stop shooting dramas, but I think it’s also about time that I held my concert. That’s why I’m conflicted. If I hold my concert, the tour would be over in about 2-3 months. 10 stops. At the most 15-20 stops. But I don’t think I would be able to hold that many. I’d be hurting, too. Probably 10-15 stops or so. But if I hold my concert THEN start acting again, the timeline might not be as smooth as I’d like. I don’t know. I haven’t thought it through yet. Let’s put that aside for now. I’ll focus on the drama that’s currently filming first and start thinking about it when I’m in my next crew. There’s no rush on it. There’s just so much I have to think about… Please understand. LYN: I do want to take a break. By that I mean it’s time for me to rest my brain. The past two dramas were too close together. After Cicada Girls it wasn’t a week later that I was in this crew already.

C: Find some time to have a few kids. LYN: I wish I still was a kid, myself.

C: It feels like you’re very tired. LYN: I’m okay. It’s not that bad. When I was walking around with FYL, I even said then that I wanted to take a rest, because I haven’t stopped since I started. What I mean by that is not that I haven’t stopped working since, but that mentally, I haven’t let myself stop. I’ve never told myself, “You need to take a break now.” or “It’s time to rest.” I don’t want to let myself take a few days. This isn’t about professionalism. It has nothing to do with that. I just… want to succeed. So I’ve packed my schedule and have tried not to let myself lose that momentum. It’s been more than five- almost six years now. But there are times that I realize that it’s too much and that I really do need to take a break.

C: I want to timidly ask: Lao-da, will you release your album this year? LYN: Of course. These days, my album- Really- /cries/. It’s because I sing too many OSTs. You’ve seen/heard a lot of them already but actually there are a lot of songs that I receive but don’t like, so I don’t sing. If I didn’t care about whether I liked them or not, if I just accepted every job that came to me, you’d hear a lot more. But I can’t do that. Most of the OSTs I accept are songs that I like or think are unique. But during this whole process, I am constantly receiving songs and listening to them all has made my brain weary. I just don’t want the songs on my album to sound too much like OSTs. Otherwise they wouldn’t have any meaning. That’s the requirement I set for myself. But I realized that it’s difficult. It is. LYN: At first I started picking some dance songs. Like this- /Fall in Love/. You can tell at first listen it’s nothing like my OSTs. That’s why I chose this one to start, and that’s the direction I started going in. The songs I’ve recently acquired and the ones I’ve already finished recording are all okay. But I’m just missing two more. I need two more before I can release my album. I recently acquired one from a singer- it’s quite nice and I like it, but haven’t recorded it yet. When I finish up this drama I’ll go back to Beijing and record that one first. After I finish that one, I need to find two more and the album will be complete and can be released. I was thinking- if I don’t release them now, they’ll expire. LYN: I mean- the musicality is still there. They’re not what’s trending now, in any case, so I don’t have to worry about that. But think about it- some of these songs I recorded the year before last. For those of us who aren’t singer-songwriters, why do we rarely release music? It’s nothing to be ashamed about, because many singers don’t write their own songs, but it’s because we don’t have the creative ability. It’s not something we can just DO. You know? LYN: It’s like- some people are good at running, and others run for two seconds and their legs are cramping. Everyone has their own thing. So… sometimes when I receive demos I’m not very satisfied with them, and I turn them down. But no matter what, I need to release my album in 2024. By all means necessary. If I don’t release this album then the concert is totally off the table. I need to release this album first, before I can consider holding a concert.

C: Ning-ge, are your concert tickets free? LYN: Someone come here and kick them out. They came here to mess around. They’re here to purposely start trouble. Moderator- please find that person who asked if my concert tickets are free and kick them out. LYN: My albums are already free. My streams are free and I stream all the time. I don’t even think to ask you to pay to see them. As a singer holding a concert, you want the tickets to be free?? Why don’t I just GIVE you 500RMB and invite you to come watch? Okay? I’ll give you 500, so you can come watch my concert. I’m begging you to come see it. I’ll arrange a spot for you in the front row. I’ll let you sit on stage to watch me sing. How does that sound? Come. I’ll move a chair- move a sofa up on stage for you. I’ll sing right in front of your face. When I’m tired I’ll sit in your lap. I’ll offer that type of service, how does that sound? That customer service attitude. C: Ok. LYN: Kick everyone who says “ok” out of the stream. LYN: /laughs/ Let me tell you, friends. There’s no such thing in this world as a free OST, just like there is no such thing as a free LYN concert.

C: If I bring my kid, can they get in for free? LYN: Um. Here’s the thing. We sell by seat. In this respect, buying a concert ticket is just like buying a plane ticket. Do you need to buy a ticket for your child when you ride a plane? If you do, then you should buy them a concert ticket.

C: Are there different prices for children? LYN: I don’t know. I know that in my previous concert, there were some friends who brought their kids. I don’t know what type of tickets you bought, then? Honestly the ticketing is not under my purview. For that question, go to the ticketing site and ask them. I can’t answer this question. The tickets and prices are not something I can set. I’m only the singer. If you want to ask me if the venue seats are comfortable or not, I can’t answer that either. I’d like to make it as comfortable for you as possible, though.

C: There’s a baby in my belly, can I go to the concert for free? LYN: Is it free for pregnant women…? It’s like this- it’s free for the baby inside a pregnant woman, but the pregnant woman herself cannot go for free. That’s the only thing I can guarantee. You’re pregnant and you want to watch my stream- I mean, my concert- it’s complicated for the baby inside you, so we won’t ask for any fees for them. But as the pregnant woman herself, as a viewer and listener, you should still pay. I don’t care what you are, you still have to pay.

C: Can people 1.5m and under get in for free? LYN: It’s not free.

LYN: Concerts are like this- every person needs a seat. There are no standing tickets. This isn’t a music festival. It’s in a venue, that doesn’t let you stand. It goes seat by seat. If you don’t buy a seat, you don’t have a place to sit around. There won’t be any situation where you can get in for free.

C: Ning-ge, I’m a new fan. I want to meekly ask- if I check in on the Super Topic, can I really claim a bottle of soybean oil? LYN: … Yes. I said before- if you check in 300 consecutive days you can claim a jug of soybean oil. 600 days and you get a 10kg bag of rice. For real.

C: I don’t have anymore soybean oil in my house. LYN: Then start checking in. LYN: If you haven’t subscribed to my weibo yet, please subscribe. From today on, you can start checking in on my Super Topic and when you hit 300 consecutive days you can take home your very own jug of soybean oil. I know that many parents may not understand why their kids would chase stars, and they tell you, “What good is it to chase stars everyday? What good does it do you? What can you get out of it??” Once you start liking me, now you can tell your mom, “I can get a jug of soybean oil out of it. If I surpass 600 days I can even get a 10kg bag of rice home.” It gives you an excuse to do what you want to do. /laughs/

C: But where do you claim it from? LYN: For specifically where you can claim it… I’ll tell you later. I’ll give you an address later, and you can go there. But I’m kind of busy,I don’t have any more time. I’ll tell you later. No rush. You check-in first. I’ll let you know when the time comes.

C: Ning-ge, you’re trending. LYN: Are you serious? No way~ How can that be?? How can I be qualified to be trending? LYN: What’s the topic, though? Is it “LYN_Livestream” or??? C: The same old. LYN: Then it must be “LYN_Livestream.” Okay. Thank you to everyone in the stream. Thank you to my good friends who are watching. It’s quite nice to be trending- it’s just letting more and more people know that I am streaming. If they have some free time they can click in to watch. LYN: But now that I’m trending, do I have to start speaking Standard Mandarin? ~So that I seem more “proper”?~ // Let me adjust.

bgm: Ice Paper - 夜泊秦淮 (Ye Po Qin Huai)

C: Stop pretending. You were fine earlier. LYN: ~Who are you saying was “pretending”? /transitions into drama voice/ Let me tell you- there’s no one in this world more sincere than I am. I just suddenly wanted to speak Standard Mandarin- what about it??~ C: I love hearing the Dandong dialect. LYN: ~If you love hearing it, then go to Dandong to play. What are you telling me for??~ C: You’re a pu-xin-nan. LYN: /laughs/ ~What did you say?? Who are you calling a pu-xin-nan?~ LYN: It needs that extra kick from reciting lines.

C: Why is your face so pale? LYN: I’ve put some powder on. I admit it. Because today- LYN: You don’t need to keep spamming! There’s someone in here who is constantly spamming. “Why is your face so pale? (x3)” As if you think I don’t know what you’re trying to do here?? You don’t know why I’m so pale? Huh? There are a couple reasons: 1. I’ve put powder on. Or 2. The beauty filter’s on. Right? What else could it be? LYN: I know you just want to annoy me.

C: Ning-ge, are you wearing pants? LYN: ??? What do you mean? I look like I’m wearing a normal outfit up top, but I’m actually wearing swim shorts on the bottom? I’m wearing normal pants. Sweatpants.

C: Ning-ge, do you have an award for this year’s Livestream King? LYN: :) Who is this? Remember this person. You’re a great friend. Remember this person’s name. I’ve been waiting all night for someone to ask me this question and up until now, no one has. It’s an hour and a half later and finally someone asks, “Do you have an award for Livestream King?” - /grabs his award/ LYN: There’s a complicated process for these things. To think, if no one had asked me, what would I do? I’d say, “Friends, did you know? I’m the Livestream King. I even have an award~” ?? That would make me seem super shameless. But since someone asked me, I have to pretend to be humble. I need to make it seem as if it’s not very important to me, but Weibo did acknowledge me, so I have to show my thanks. In that case, I’ll take it out to show you. LYN: Friends. I’ll take away the lyrics to let you screenshot. We need to commemorate this brilliant moment. - /poses for the camera/

LYN: Okay, that’s enough. You got the screenshots, right?

LYN: I suddenly found a problem. I came to Weibo in ‘21- because that’s when my contract with my previous platform ended and I needed to choose a new one, so I chose Weibo. I streamed for the year of 2021, and they awarded me with the title of Weibo Livestream King. Some encouragement. But they didn’t give this award to me in 2022. At the time I hadn’t realized yet. It wasn’t until 2023- the later half of 2023- that I thought, “Eh? I was King in 2021, but not 2022? Who can beat me on stream time on Weibo?” I looked it up everywhere and couldn’t find anything. Then you told me that there was no award in 2022. The category was eliminated, because I was the only contender. I said, “Ohh, there was no King in 2022. Okay, I’m fine with that.” It can only be that no one gets it, but it can’t be that you got it but I didn’t. I won’t fight for anything else, but for Livestream King I want to make an effort for it. That’s the first thing. LYN: The second thing is that the staff at Weibo are all really great. They must have heard me complaining about it. They’re such a big platform that a single award won’t put them out. I’m guessing that while they were making all the other awards, they decided to toss this one in as well. While they were at it. “Why don’t we just make LYN another one? He’s over there complaining about us in his stream, as if he can’t live without it. Let’s just make one for him. We’ll make it and just send it to him. Whatever.” And then- they made me a “2022-2023” award. I mean- if you’re going to make it, can’t you just make TWO?? I can put all three up at home: [2021]-[2022]-[2023]! But now you’ve made it: [2021] - [2022-2023]. Wow, just two. You’re already making them, you couldn’t just make one extra?? LYN: Also friends, you might not know, but these awards are all made with a mold. When you go to the clothing warehouse and buy a single item of clothing it might cost you 100rmb, but it you buy 100 articles, it will only cost you 60rmb per article. By that I mean the more awards you make, the cheaper they are in the long-run. The more stock you buy the cheaper you can get them for. You know- Now it’s just awkward. There’s 2021 over there, but now I have “2022-2023” here to put with it. If they’re going to do that I’m guessing next it’ll be like this: no award in 2024, no award in 2025, then they’ll give me one in 2026 that reads, “2024-2026”. Based on logic, I’m guessing it will go like that. I hope not, though.

C: Have one custom-made for you. LYN: /laughs/ I- I don’t think there’s a need to. These types of things, there’s no good reason to make one for yourself. That’s not worth it. First of all, I’d feel sad for my money. Secondly, who makes an award FOR THEMSELVES?? There’s no need to do that.

C: Ning-ge, is it made of gold? LYN: /laughs/ You’re asking if this Weibo award is made of gold? Do you think we’re at the Olympics?? You expect them to make an award/trophy out of real gold? They don’t even want to make me two of them. XD I don’t believe there’s any gold (jin) in it. There’s no way. I’m guessing it’s probably- /stares at it/- alloy (hejin). It’s also a type of “jin”.

-----

C: Why are there so few strawberries in a box? LYN: I’m not a strawberry businessman, why are you asking me??? I’m only here to suggest that you try Dandong strawberries. Now you want to ask me, “Why are there so few strawberries in a box?”? Go ask an expert. I know that I always tell you that you should try Dandong strawberries, but I am not the customer service agent for the whole of the strawberry industry. Maybe if I were an ambassador and received a commission from it, then it would be my job to ask the experts for the answer. I’d ask for you. But it has nothing to do with me… It’s like I suggest you go to Dandong to try the crab, and you go but it upsets your stomach. Then you tell me, “You made me go to Dandong to eat seafood and now I have the runs. Compensate me.” LYN: “Why are there so few strawberries in a box”? There’s one thing you can do. Buy multiple boxes and consolidate them into one. Let’s say one box has 20. Buy ten boxes. 200 strawberries. Tell them to put those 200 into just one box. Then you’ll feel like the box is full and satisfying. These strawberries aren’t sold by the box, usually it’s by the weight. Fruits, you know, they’re all priced by weight.

C: Trending in the Entertainment tab at #12. LYN: Really? No way. ~ How can that be? I don’t believe I have that ability. Friends, how does my voice sound? ~ A lot of people say that I have an accent and it’s too strongly Northeastern. ~ Do I? ~ LYN: ~ Id like to welcome everyone to my livestream. My name is Liu Yuning. Currently, I am a singer and actor by profession. Next, I’d like to sing a nice song for you. I hope you like it. If you want to hear something, please let me know. ~ C: I have goosebumps. LYN: Are they the good kind or the bad kind? Because goosebumps can be categorized into good and bad ones. Sometimes you’ll see something really disgusting and get goosebumps. The other kind is if you’re watching a movie and it comes to a really thrilling part, with the music to accompany, you get the goosebumps like, “WOW!” Which kind are you? C: You’re at #10 now. LYN: Alright. Let me play you a video while I use the restroom, and I’ll come back to stream properly for you. I’ll grab a water, too. I was drinking this milk tea but now my throat feels sticky. I’ll play a video and please wait for me.

-- break #2

LYN: I’m back. I know it’s been a long time since I streamed last, solo at least. The last time I was with Da Fei and Ah-Zhuo and we did the Carnation Music Festival. I think the last solo stream was a little more than two months ago. It’s inexcusable, so I figured I should come stream today. There’s nothing going on- I just want to chat. If there’s anything you want to chat with me about, you can type it into the comments. Of course, try not to mention other artists and cause me trouble. I just want to safely and peacefully stream for once. I don’t want any trouble.

C: Why do you need to wipe your face? LYN: It’s oily. If you sit in front of the computer for hours, you’re going to get oily too. Or maybe it’s just because I’m rather greasy. - C: Ning-ge, if you livestream there’s a danger to your life. LYN: What are you talking about? Don’t try to scare me. At most the computer explodes. XD No. I’m only just turning on the stream, not handling a grenade. Why would it?? - C: You’re just a greasy man. LYN: Ok. If you’re going to put it that way, I’m going to start “pinch”ing. I’ll make my voice more “pinched”! LYN: ~ Ahaha~ Sorry- Seems like you were "greased out” by me again. ~

C: Ning-ge, can we get the trending topic to #1? LYN: There’s no need and I don’t think it would get that far. My trending topics can’t really make it to #1, because it’s a normal occurrence. At the very beginning, maybe it was something new. But now I stream too much and the “LYN_Livestream” topic is a staple. It’s not fresh anymore. No one is very interested in it anymore. C: You’re at #8 now. LYN: Friends, when I’m trending now I have this senses of terror. Before, I would be trending sometimes too. But as soon as I clicked in to the topic it would be to find a bunch of people cursing me out. I don’t want to really look at the trending topic now. I fear it’s going to mess with my good mood.

LYN: How about… I take a look? - /browsing/ C: Ning-ge don’t be afraid. LYN: A bunch of you are in here saying, “Don’t get flustered.” C: LYN is the coolest! LYN: Let me tell you- if you say that you’re going to get yelled at. There are going to be people on you, telling you to “eat better.” They’re going to DM you immediately, telling you that you can do better. For example I like eating Lanzhou noodles. I just like noodles, so I say, “Noodles are the best.” Then someone comes up to your door and says, “Hey. Eat better.” Don’t post things like “LYN is the coolest”, because you’re likely to get reported.

C: Ning-ge, it’s okay. You can look this time. LYN: What they mean by that is it’s okay for me to look in the topic, because everything in there is positive? Another thing is that I’m streaming right now and maybe those of you who are watching have created a blank slate for me. You’ve made it so that I can’t see all the bad comments. This friend is telling me it’s okay to look. But the problem here is that their “it’s fine” is typed as ’没失‘ and not as ‘没事’ as it should be. LYN: … LYN: As in the “失” that means “to die”. As in “to lose”. I guess they mean to say “It’s okay. You won’t die.” LYN: Amazing. /sarcastic/ You sure are talented!

-----

C: How much are the concert tickets? LYN: The sales haven’t even started yet!! Stop asking, please. The tickets are how normal concert tickets are priced. There are all sorts of ranges. If you want to sit closer to the front it’ll be more expensive. If your luck is bad, just get a cheaper ticket in the back and be done with it. It all depends on your own ability. This is normal. I am unable to tell you how much they will cost at this time. Because I don’t even know if I’ll be able to hold it in the first place or not. How can you be negotiating prices with me already?

C: Ning-ge, did you use double eyelid tape for Spring Festival? LYN: /laughs/ /sobers/ What are you talking about?! It’s like this friends- my friends on the small side, but actually I do have inner double eyelids. I you look at me from this angle- I have double eyelids. But once I open my eyes they turn into monolids. The problem is… maybe I’m getting older? You know how when you age, your eyelids start to… sag? It’s a clear and obvious sign of aging- either they’re swollen or sagging. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning and head straight to makeup- there’s four layers.

LYN: In the leaked shots from set, some people comment, “Why do Ning-ge’s eyes look different? Has he used double-eyelid tape?” No. It’s not a double-eyelid It’s a triple eyelid. And then, sometimes as I shoot throughout the day, there will be a close-up shot. I turn my head- this eye is triple-lidded and this eye is single. I look like this:

LYN: One big, one small. The director will see that and say, “Um… Let’s not shoot this scene right now. We’ll wait until nighttime, when your eyes are less swollen. It’s just a simple turn of the head (it can wait).” Yeah. I’m getting older.

C: Ning-ge, you should instantly do some Thermage treatment. LYN: Is that something you can do in an instant? I mean- I know I’ve mentioned Thermage before, but it’s not something that can be- it’s not something that I’m constantly doing. I’m not doing it anymore. The past year- the last time I did it was a year ago. I don’t do it anymore. I don’t need it. Now I do “cao sheng pao”. [t/n: idk what that is.] Now that really hurts.

C: Lao-da, why do you keep squeezing your eyes? LYN: They’re kind of uncomfortable. I have a bit of a bad habit, which is I like to do this: /scrunch his nose, then blink his eyes hard/ Sometimes it itches. I don’t know why but lately the inside of my nose has been really itchy. That’s why I keep needing to twitch my nose a little.

C: Ning-ge, are you flirting with me? LYN: /laughs/ You shouldn’t have such delusions.

----------

C: /comment about his red socks on Spring Festival/ LYN: It wasn’t that purposeful, but you have to wear red on New Years, right? But who knew that those pants were- It was kind of cold that day, so- even if I were on stage I’d still wear my thermals. I wanted to wear my thermals on stage, but figured I should also put on some socks. But because of the thermals the pants turned little shorter, so you could see my red socks. I was thinking about changing into black socsks, but we had already reached the stage and it would be troublesome to change, so I just wore the red socks. I figured you wouldn’t be abe to see it so clearly, anyway. Doesn’t matter.

C: What should I do if I can’t finish my homework? LYN: If you can’t finish it, then go do it. Why are you telling me? Do you want me to do your homework for you? There are such things as designated drivers, do you want a designated writer now? You want me to do your homework for you? Why don’t you learn well and do your own homework.

C: What should I do if I’m tired of/at work? LYN: I already said, didn’t I? There’s no such thing as “easy” in the world of adults. We’re all tired. You can… not work. But if you don’t then you’ll go hungry. What else can you do? You can only be tired. I’m not trying to discourage you, but I do think that’s it’s okay for young people to work harder and be a little more tired. If you can work hard while you’re young, you should. Don’t be like me, who’s just started trying at my age- we don’t have hope. Well, I can’t say “at my age”- just, when you’re a little older. I still have a little hope. C: I have to work hard so that I can buy tickets to your concert. LYN: Right! It’s a sort of motivation. Even if you don’t go, you should do well at work so that you can earn more money. Right? I know it’s not easy. When I was working- I was working in a clothing shop during the day and when I got off work there I went to the bar to sing. I had two jobs in a day. For what? To earn more money so that I could live a better life. These two jobs added together earned me a little less than 4,000rmb. Singing at the bar, I only made 800 in a month.

C: Ning-ge, are there souvenirs from Spring Festival? LYN: You go to Spring Festival and even come back with souvenirs? Actually, there were. Those dragon hats you saw on tv- there were those. Let me see if I can find it, and if I can I’ll wear it for you. If I wear it, it will prove that I was actually there.

LYN: There it is. They gave us this hat and a bunch of other things, like a Lego set. It was of the tv station’s advertising car. All nice. - /starts shaking his head do the puff balls hit him in the face./ LYN: Smacking myself.

C: Raffle it. LYN: Why should I? It took great effort to be on Spring Festival at all and they gave me stuff to commemorate the evening with, and you want me to raffle it off?? One day when I’m old I won’t have any thing to prove that I’d been there! Why should I raffle it? If you want it, buy it yourself.

C: Ning-ge, your dancing has improved. LYN: Save it. The Spring Festival stage was different than stages that I’m usually performing on. How? For example the Weibo World Festival, or Weibo Night- for events like that if I have a performance I will usually spend the day before in rehearsal. During rehearsal, one of my staff will record it so that I can see the overall effect of the stage. If the camera angles change, they might record the monitors so that I’m more aware during my performance where I should stand or when to maintain my expression, or where I should pay attention in singing. Based on what I see while monitoring the rehearsal, I can adjust for my performance the next day. But Spring Festival is different. They do not allow staff to record, so you have no idea how you’re doing on stage. That’s number one. Number two, Spring Festival will not send the video of your performance to you. So that means that even if I went to rehearse four times, I have no idea what I looked like each time.

LYN: I want to say- I thought I was dancing pretty well! I thought, “Wow, I’m so lively!” Because the thing about Spring Festival is that everyone on stage is happy- to bring all the viewers in front of their tvs happiness and harmony. It’s the New Year! People should be having fun! You need that feel, so I was super excited while dancing. Also, there was part of the song- (the shiny, shiny part)- the dance move for this was supposed to be, and you’ll know if you watched the backup dancers- /dances/. Normally it’d be like this- the two legs together. Maybe you can’t see because this camera is too close. Let me adjust. Normally, it’s supposed to be like this- I’ll move farther back (so you can see). - /demonstrates/ LYN: It was supposed to be like that. You’ll know if you saw the backup dancers. But! After DZS and I learned the dance we had to take a moment to self-reflect. Because we thought this move was a little… improper. It just felt like… because the backup dancers had other moves interspersed, it didn’t look as out of place. But DZW and I had to hold a mic and sing too, so twisting like that felt a little… inelegant. Two grown men squirming about like that was kind of girly, kind of- C: Brushing the edge. [擦边 (cā biān)] [t/n: says Baidu: “vulgar behavior that relies on revealing clothing and provocative behavior to attract attention”] LYN: Not that! It didn’t warrant the use of that vocabulary. What the heck are you talking about??! Are you trying to end me? Are you really my fan?? LYN: In any case- it wasn’t brushing the edge. It just felt too inelegant. We didn’t think that would fly. So we communicated with the choreographer, and asked if we could raise the difficulty level up a bit. What does that mean? It means we arranged side steps. Left, right. Left, right. - /demonstrates/ LYN: And we would wave at everyone with this hand. /waves/ Like that. LYN: Isn’t that better? In the end we discussed it and the choreographer agreed to let us change the move. So that’s how we changed it.

LYN: And then- I was telling you earlier- at Spring Festival, there’s no way to watch the playback. I thought it was a super happy performance. I thought I danced so well, and I was ecstatic. I even made the movements bigger. But I never saw the playback. Later- that is, after Spring Festival- I got off work and returned home to watch the performance. Oh my god. Standing at 1.9m tall with legs like chopsticks, and my movements were so big! Among everyone else it felt like two forks dancing across the stage. Like a huge, happy spider. /sigh/ If I had known I would have restrained myself a little. I would have made the movements just a little smaller. You know what it was? Let me imitate it for you. You might not know just from how I’m describing it. It was like this: - /normal ver: small side-step movements/ LYN: But I was like: /starts the music/ Okay. Here it comes. - /lyn ver: huge, happy spider/ - /runs into his chair/

LYN: In order to make it more cheerful I almost flew off the stage. C: Your movements weren’t that large. LYN: Close enough.

LYN: /in pain/ I overdid it and stepped on the chair. I heard my bone crack. LYN: I’m not kidding. Ouch. Hold on, let me play you a song. LYN: Let’s leave it along to let it recover. When I was bouncing around earlier I stepped on one of the wheels. It just happens to also be the foot I broke last year. I think it’s okay- it just hurts. Let me leave it alone for now. - /long pause/ LYN: I’m okay! Let’s leave it. /breathes heavily/ Wait for me a sec. I’ll use the restroom. Let me walk it off. Hold on- I’ll play a video for you.

-- break #3

LYN: /self-berating/ You’ve done it now. Hm? You’ve done it now, haven’t you? What are you doing all the time, and so improper? I can’t wait to see how you embarrass yourself to death on livestream. Embarrass yourself because you’re trending. LYN: I just checked- it’s not where I broke it before. I’ve just sprained my ankle a little. It’s okay. We’ll leave it alone for now and see how it feels. Later I’ll have a staff bring me some yunnan baiyao to spray on it. LYN: I’m fine. Just sprained my ankle, so let me rest for a bit. /sigh/ Too embarrassing! // It’s not where I broke it- that’s on the foot. I just checked and it’s my ankle. I was bouncing around earlier, and you know how the chairs have four legs? I stepped on one of the legs and the chair rolled away from me. After that it made a cracking sound. My staff has gone to get me medicine. It’s all good.

C: It’s better to elevate the foot. LYN: ? Really? Does that work? /props his foot on the other chair/ Then, how about this? I’ll stream while laying back. C: You need more calcium. LYN: Yes, I do. I bought supplements but haven’t taken them. I’m afraid to grow taller. That would be bad. I’m already 1.9+m, if I few another 1-2cm I’d be done for. C: Mainly, you need more sun. LYN: I can’t do that because If I do then... I’ll get too tan. I need to be in front of the camera everyday, so If I get tan that wouldn’t look nice. Forget it.

C: Would you still grow taller? LYN: … I don’t know. I’m just afraid to. C: You’re already so old, why would you? LYN: I really can grow taller! Humans are always growing. It wouldn’t be much, but even 0.5mm is still growth isn’t it? Even sometimes when you break a bone and the space between the two pieces heals wider that it used to be, you’d grow a little as a result/ C: Ning-ge, you’re almost 40. Can you still grow taller?

LYN: … /looks into the camera and huffs/ /sighs/ /cries/ If you didn’t tell me, I would have forgtten that I’m almost 40.C C: Ning-ge, you’re 18. Forever 18. LYN: I don’t need that. There’s really no need. You don’t have to use these types of methods to comfort me. “You’re 18. Forever young. You’re a flower.” If I were really to be comforted by such outrageous comments then I would find myself to be outrageous. C: Lao-da just turned 18 this year~ LYN: It’s whatever. Doesn’t matter.

- /puts his foot down/ LYN: I think it’s okay. It doesn’t hurt as much anymore. Don’t worry, friends. It doesn’t hurt. LYN: How embarrassing is this, though? It’d be fine if I were to sprain my ankle while filming- that’d be a work-injury. But to sprain my ankle in my own house, my own room, while jumping around for my livestream- that’s plenty shameful.

C: Lao-da, you’re trending at #2 now. LYN: Really? I don’t believe you. - /checks it out/ LYN: You must have meant to say #12. I was wondering how I would rise to such a high level. It’s 12, not 2. You missed a “1” in there. C: #9 in My Orbit.// #2 in My Orbit. LYN: Don’t look at “My Orbit”- its because you’re following me, that you see me so high up.

C: You got happy for nothing. LYN: No. I’d feel guilty for having such a high trending topic when I don’t have any songs or dramas to promote anyway. It’s only because I’m streaming and weibo is nice to me, so they recommend my stream to everyone to let them now that I’m live. Weibo is promoting me, so it’s giving me a push. After they recommend it, maybe people who had never seen my stream before just so happen to have opened their apps and can click in to sit for a while. If they’ve got nothing else going on, it’s nice to just sit here for a while. It’s fun, here. I want to thank everyone who came to watch me today, as well. Even if you aren’t my fan, I hope you can subscribe. I am Modern Brothers Liu Yuning.

C: Were you nervous for Spring Festival? LYN: Was I nervous? I was. Because with Spring Festival it’s… how should I put this… it doesn’t let you feel secure. The rehearsals are in rounds. For example I went to rehearsal the first and second times, but not the third. It felt like our stage was taken out of the lineup and it felt embarrassing. I feel like it’s embarrassing, because you go so many times. People were looking forward to it- friends and family alike- and if in the end the program doesn’t make it in the lineup I would feel like it’s disgraceful. I was nervous up until the moment we performed. But as soon as you’re on stage and performing, it’s not as bad. Once your ON the stage, it’s okay. You just have to have fun. I mean, look how much fun I was having just now. C: I was worried to death when you didn’t go to the third rehearsal. LYN: The third time I really couldn’t get away from the drama crew and the Festival coordinators were really understanding so they just told me to go the next time. They told me it would be okay to rest and I was grateful for it. That time, I couldn’t request any more time away. Of course, my family was also monitoring my appearance, and they were sending me messages to comfort me (thinking he was out of the show). “It’s okay. There’s always next time. If you can’t go this year, you’ll go next year.” To which I had to reply, “No- It’s because I didn’t have time to go to the rehearsal. I’ll be at the next one.”

C: It’s my birthday. Can you wish me a Happy Birthday? LYN: Happy Birthday.

C: I’ve sent 100 comments already. Look at me. LYN: Thank you.

C: Today is my friend’s birthday. Can you wish them a Happy Birthday? LYN: … :| There’s no need, right? It’s your friend’s birthday and they’re not even watching my stream but you want me to wish them a Happy Birthday? What’s the point of that??

LYN: No one has told me what the “20yuan new fan” thing means. I still don’t get it. But I guess it means that you’re new fans? If I’m guessing correctly they’re a new species of fans. XD At least here with me. They’re a new species. That’s nice. C: You’re so up to speed, you really don’t know? LYN: I really don’t. It used to be that I really enjoyed scrolling through weibo or the short video platforms, to see things relating to me. But then I found out that sometimes after I saw those posts, I would be unhappy. The way I found to fix that was to not scroll social media at all. A lot of the artist friends around me all choose not to look either; and they really don’t. After I stopped looking I became a lot happier. Really. These things can influence your mood. So I decided not to look at them, and my mood has become much better. Truly. I really don’t look at them anymore. I just deleted the apps. They’re not worthy to be on my phone. LYN: When I see bad things, I don’t have much of an interest. Even now, I don’t much look at things relating to me. Sometimes I’ll see the popular and trending stuff but I’ve really cut down on the content and comments related to myself.

LYN: My mentality is already in a good place, so you don’t have to try to comfort me or anything. There’s no need. I’m really doing very well. I think I’ve matured. People go through all sorts of experiences, and it’s only after you’ve gone through them that you grow. If anything I’ll watch some funny clips or cuts from movies, and that’s also fine.

C: Why haven’t they brought you the yunnan baiyao yet? LYN: They don’t live with me. They’re in the hotel, so it’s not a big rush. It really doesn’t hurt much anymore. It was only a sprain. It’s okay. LYN: You know that I’m on the tall side, so I’m prone to twisting my ankle. Whenever I’m shooting for the dramas, I always twist my ankle. It was the worst in the first drama I shot. Then, I twisted it during CGX. Then later, I broke my bone. In any case, twisting my ankle is- /staff arrived/ You’re here?

C: Ning-ge, it’s also my birthday. I want to hear your “loser literature.” LYN: Do you really want to hear my loser literature, or do you want to curse at me? If it’s the former, I already demo’d it earlier. Later when I stop streaming, you can scroll through the playback. I did it quite a few times. LYN: ~ Sorry, I won’t imitate it again. ~

- /someone asks why they’re not applying the medicine/ LYN: It’s okay, they’re working on it. But don’t worry. I’m old enough and can take care of it myself. You don’t need to worry about me. Later, I’ll- how long have I been streaming for? 2hours, 47 minutes. When it’s 3hours, I’ll leave. There are still 13 minutes left for me to chat with you. - /medicine time/ LYN: It’s OK now! I applied the medicine. It’s no big deal.

C: Ning-ge, is your new drama going to air soon? LYN: None of my dramas are going to air soon. I’m still filming the current one. As for the ones that are already done filming I really have no idea when they’ll air. I’m not going to worry about it, and just keep on filming. So- /thinking hard/- we’ll just wait. There’s no rush. I’ll get my album out first, and later I’ll be shooting for a variety show. So you don’t have to worry about not seeing me. I’m going to go record for a variety show; I’ve heard it’s going to be fun. So later you can watch it. LYN: Right now there are… just a bunch of dramas that are waiting to be broadcast and I don’t know when they will be. Some of them need to wait for the right time, because it’ll air on two platforms at once. It’s hard to find a common time, so we’re in a bit of an uncomfortable position. All we can do is wait. But I just need to keep shooting, is all.

C: Zi Chuan. LYN: I only had around 190 or so scenes, if I remember correctly. It’s 48 episodes, and I only have 190 scenes. Honestly, it’s not that much. I don’t remember if that was the number, but it has to be around 200. Tian Xing (Floating world/Heroes) is also around 200 scenes. I didn’t shoot more than that. I don’t appear very much. C: Cicada Girls? LYN: That was also around 100 scenes? That one was really little, because it’s only 24 episodes long. I finished filming for that in two months.

C: Ning-ge, as long as you’re in it, it doesn’t matter how many scenes you have. LYN: Right. All you have to do is watch. For dramas, I feel like as long as I’ve participated in it, you can take a look. It’s rare that I got the opportunity to be an actor AND actually act in something, so all you have to do is support me and support the dramas I appear in, and respect my decisions.

C: Ning-ge, will you still be shooting dramas when you’re 60? LYN: I don’t know, probably not? I probably wouldn’t be. Let me… not continuously shoot dramas like that. LYN: We’ll see as we go.

C: Keep acting when you’re 60. Then there’s no doubt when you call yourself a veteran actor. LYN: Am I in this until death do me part? It doesn’t matter if I act terribly or how the drama turns out, I should still self-praise and say, “I’m a veteran actor. Because I’m 60!”? LYN: Is that allowable? Let’s forget about it. Let me enjoy my old age. At the most I’ll hold a concert when I’m an old man, at which point I will tear my shirt off for you. I probably won’t be acting, but let’s wait and see. I think I’d be able to pull off a concert at 60, though. All the little old ladies here in the stream can watch an old man go barechested together. LYN: Yes- when I’m 60 and holding my concert I’ll tear my shirt off. I don’t know which song it will be but I will just need to tear it off. I wouldn’t know why. I’m already so hot I’m left in just my undershirt, but it will be so warm that I have no choice but to remove that undershirt. Think about it- I’ll be 60 and probably not have much strength left. For fear that I would not be able to tear the shirt with my own strength, I’ll have to make a cut in the collar in advance. Even if I wanted to tear it, I’d have to cut it in advance. And then if that doesn’t work, I can use me teeth and pull at it with both hands. It’s all possible. LYN: Someone said earlier that my dancing was skirting the edge. I won’t do it now, but save it for when I’m 60. I’ll hold a concert when I’m 60 and skirt the edge then. For my risque performance it will be of a 60 year old man tearing his shirt off. So you can see a barechested old man. LYN: Oh my god, what if my fake teeth fall out? While I’m using my teeth to help tear at the shirt, my dentures fly out and off the stage? Someone picks them up and says, “I won it in the raffle.” I’m sure that’s something you would do, especially at 60. “Oh, Ning-ge’s not giving anything? Then, I won this in a raffle (of my own making).”

C: Ning-ge, you can have Daimi tear it for you. LYN: Don’t talk about such sad topics, okay? Do you think a dog’s lifespan is that long? At that time there probably won’t be a Daimi anymore. /cries/

C: Ning-ge, will you hold a concert when you’re 80? LYN: Enough, already. I have no way of answering these questions. If I told you, “Don’t worry. I live for music. It doesn’t matter if I’m 80 or 90, I will still share good music with you all.” I think saying that is too much. It’s too much. “I was born to make music. For art.” “I shoot dramas so that I can put my everything into the role.” It’s not worth it. I know these words are easily said, but I don’t believe very many can do. I can’t guarantee that I’ll still be singing at 80. What am I?? I just want to live a good life and spend my days happily. I don’t want to torture myself like that. I’ve been tortured my whole life already. LYN: By that time I should be finding free time. I should have a kid who comes home often to visit me. I should be in assisted living and have a kid who, with a smile, brings their significant other to see me. I’ll prepare some topics of conversation. Their mother will prepare a table full of food. You can talk to me about the struggles in life. Discuss your troubles at work.

LYN: It’s not a playback. This is live.

C: Lao-da, you should go for your physical. LYN: I just came back from doing it! I went mid-last year. Basically, I’m healthy. They didn’t find much. The only thing is that I am a bit calcium deficient. Other than that, nothing major. Everything is good and I’m pretty healthy. I know I look sickly/weak but I’m actually healthy. Only lacking in calcium. But you know- the design of their machine- ANY normal person who goes to test will come out calcium deficient. Honestly, a lot of people are. C: About about weight? LYN: 130+ pounds. I think I’m around 132-134.

C: Will you still be recording for The Truth? LYN: Yeah. As long as they’ll be recording for it, I’ll go. As long as they invite me to go play, I’ll go. LYN: I tend to develop an attachment to the shows I’ve been on before- and this includes all of them. I was even on Fresh Chef 100 twice. As long as there’s a second season and I’m invited, I will find the time to go. I went on WMDG twice, and actually a third season also wanted me. They wanted me for a third season! But I thought I wouldn’t have anything to show for a third season. I don’t know. Actually at that point I really didn’t have time- if I’m doing a drama and variety show at the same time the schedule is pretty strict. Music varieties are not like others, because you have to take time to prepare in advance. You have to practice the song, think about how to rearrange it, and actively participate. You also have to think about the next performance. All while doing that, you have to make sure you’re not overworking so that you can sing well for the actual performance. All in all, a music variety exhausts a lot of your mental capacity. You have to think a lot more than shows where “having fun” is the focus, like reality shows. Those are okay. Music varieties are completed with the help of a lot of professionals, so it’s more difficult.

LYN: Anyway! As long as I have the time I’ll use a few hours to stream for you. I know that after my last drama, a lot of you came to like me. I didn’t even believe it at first, because all of the ah… discussion about me online was not exactly ideal. But the fact that there are still a group of people who were able to like me despite that makes me really grateful. With some things, you can only tell with time. Like me- if you’ve been with me for a while you’ll start to understand what type of person I am. So it’s okay. I have a lot of friends who have walked with me on this path until today and they all know and understand me. I want to welcome all the new friends and if you still haven’t subscribed to my weibo, please do so. The next time I stream it will notify you~

LYN: Some people are typing a question into the comments in a clear attempt to trick me. You’re not good people. I’m talking to you. You’re not a good person. It’s the New Year. Do good things. There are so many people asking me…

C: Wonderland of Love was the coollest! LYN: I only went there to cameo. Are you saying that the drama was cool, or that you liked my appearance in it? In any case, it was just a cameo, which was fun. And I was happy to be involved, because they were really attentive to my appearance. They carefully selected a wardrobe for me, and did my hair and makeup well. They were serious about it, even if I was just there to cameo. I felt respected. I was happy to cameo and to promote it when it started airing. It’s not as if I had the greatest influence, but I was happy to do what I could to promote it. Even though I was just there to cameo, I felt respected and they were serious about making me look decent so that I could leave a little role there. It was nice. LYN: I feel like the hair/makeup and wardrobe for dramas nowadays is so amazing. It’s good though, and just goes to show how this industry is improving. We’re all striving for the best.

LYN: Sometimes when I’m walking down the street, some people will call me, “Ning Yuanzhou!” I think it’s nice. Before, it would be: “Modern Brothers! Modern Brothers, right? I’ve heard your song- Jiang Zhen De.” They would know me because of that cover; but that was before. Nowadays whenever I go somewhere I will hear, “Ning Yuanzhou!” instead. I think the happy thing about being an actor is that you can become known as an actor for playing a particular role. And as an actor, you really have to thank all of the roles that you’ve played, because really it’s the character that has made more people like you as a person. It’s not because we as actors are charming, but because the drama’s role is charming. That’s why I’m thankful for all the roles I’ve played before that have let more people know of me. Even if the previous character was not very outstanding or from a drama that was not very popular, there can still be those one or two fans who have won the lottery and started to like me. That’s also something the drama brought to me.

C: I’ve watched all of your dramas and now I’m at a loss. LYN: Don’t make it seem as if I’ve been in very many dramas. The very first drama I was in was Hot-Blooded Youth and honestly I didn’t know how to act back then. Of course, I still only act pretty averagely even now. But then I didn’t know a thing about acting. I was relying on my instincts. The ones after, too. I didn’t really know how to act. I started to get the hang of it- I had an epiphany- for BCF’s role, because I got too into it. I got into it and then it went to my head. I know how some people talk about immersing themselves in the role, and I understood it, but I didn’t really FEEL it until that role. LYN: When I first started people told me that being an actor was an art that leaves you with regrets. No matter what role you play, you will always leave it with regrets. You’ll think about how you could have performed better. It’s an art that leaves you with regret. But BCF was the only role I feel like I didn’t leave with regrets. Why? Because I don’t think that if I had a second chance to play the role I would have done a better job. That’s what I think. Maybe I could do better performance-wise, but in terms of the emotion I don’t think I could do better a second time. LYN: After that role when I acted I started thinking about different approaches to a scene that I could have handled better. I started having my own sense of… what do you call it? My brain’s not working anymore. Sense of… it’s right on the top of my tongue. Sense of self-review. But I really think that if you had me go back to play BCF again- I know I didn’t have all the techniques and acting tricks down but the emotion was real. It’s not a state of mind that I can reach again.

C: The trick to acting is not acting at all. LYN: Not so. I don’t really dare to talk to you depth about acting because I know that I am just an amateur. If I talk to you about it I’m sure that people are going to ridicule me saying, “Oh, look. This singer thinks he knows anything about acting.” But I’ll learn from the actors I work with. It doesn’t matter how small their role is, I will still observe how they act. If there’s something good to learn, I will absorb it. I’m that type of person. LYN: You say that “the trick to acting is not acting at all.” Really, that’s not completely true. I guess it would depend on what type of drama it is. For example, if you are supposed to be someone who’s been stabbed through with by a spear, tell me how they’re supposed to act that out. How would you know what it feels like to be stabbed by a spear? How would you act? Or for example, you’re walking along and get shot. I know they say to use your real feelings but, are you really going to get shot in order to act that out? So, you still need to act. You still need the element of acting- the performance. Acting is acting. The logic behind “not acting’ is just to make it more lifelike. So that people don’t feel like it’s too fake. C: Lao-da, can you act it out now? LYN: What? Getting shot? I was shot in my first drama- Hot-Blooded Youth, as WCF. He was shot and died. BCF jumped off the building and died- that’s a second way of dying. Another drama, also- oh, forget it. In any case, they all… (died). There’s also death by poison. There’s also death by getting stabbed with ten spears. You can say, “Ning-ge, the secret to acting is by not acting at all.” You’ve been stabbed by ten spears. How do you act that? Get stabbed, so you know what it feels like for real? “Oh, this is how it feels! I don’t need to act now!” C: LMX died from sickness. LYN: LMX just silently passed in his sleep. He fell asleep and was gone.

LYN: I think all that I’ve experienced in these past past five years have, especially in the recent 6-12 months- made me enjoy acting even more. Because now I know what’s good and what’s bad. I can differentiate. Even choosing scripts, roles, and teams. I have an awareness now. I didn’t used to think so much about it. I used to think that as long as the job fulfilled one of the requirements I was satisfied. But sometimes you realize that’s an uncomfortable path to take. Now I’ve gained the ability to distinguish between good and bad, and that’s a good sign of growth for me. C: The script is very important. LYN: Of course it is. The script is number 1. The script is number 1 and without it, nothing else follows. I think it’s very important. I’m talking about the majority of the dramas that are being shot right now- the script is number 1. It’s not like a movie, where you can have a lot of time to build up chemistry. For example, if there are five actors. These five need to work together to flesh the scene out- I say something, then you say something. Or, I’ll add something here, and you say something in reply so that we can have a back-and-forth. There’s a creative atmosphere that’s really great. I’ve had a couple dramas like that, but I’m not going to say which. There was one where the actors present in the scene said a bunch of fun stuff. For example, if there are five-six of us on scene we could create a really fun atmosphere that takes the basic structure of the scene and add that extra layer of character building. I think that’s something we as actors should do, as long as we are given the creative freedom to do so. When you are able to create with your fellow actors you’ll find every day enjoyable and fun. When you get on set you can share your ideas and play off of each other. As an actor, that’s the thing I found most enjoyable while shooting. On the other hand, in dramas where you don’t have that creative freedom, you just act as the script directs. You feel like it’s only work and it doesn’t bring you any joy. So, you really do need to chance upon a good script.

C: BYOL. LYN: For that drama, honestly, I was really… relaxed. Because I hadn’t shot any modern dramas before that, so my only requirement for myself was that I was real and relaxed. Tao-jie was a big factor, since for most of that drama she was the one opposite me. She’s really great, as you know, and led me well. With her, I could act however I wanted to. We added a lot of content- like teasing remarks. For example, the “What’s wrong? You’re screaming so loudly!” in the scene where she sees the two reptiles. I think she says something like, “Take those digusting things away” and I reply, “What “things”? These are my brothers. In English, they’re my homies.” We added a lot of things like that. We played around and were really relaxed. Of course, there’s are certain degrees to a scene so in the end it wasn’t added to the drama but the feel was still there. We were creating nonstop and fitting things together, with very realistic banter. There was a lot that we put together on scene. Sometimes it can be really interesting and meaningful. - (t/n: he slipped while talking and called it YNGS, but really it’s supposed to be BYOL.)

LYN: Sometimes I see people commenting on my acting, and I will also read those comments seriously and accept what they’re saying. If they have a point, it’s something I make sure to work on in the future. I acknowledge what they’re saying. I see the comments on my acting, and- /laughs/- it’s quite interesting. They talk about an actor’s facial expressions, our reactions. It’s like- - /Daimi starts barking/ LYN: Okay, I won’t talk about this. If there wasn’t such a big topic of public opinion, I really would like to share my thoughts about it with you. But if I say anything then there is also bound to be some unreasonable backlash. Honestly, I’m just chatting and I don’t try to speak with any motives. This is just my small and insignificant livestream.

LYN: I think it’s the medicine my staff ordered for me. (The reason why Daimi’s barking) LYN: Daimi. Come here. I’ll give you an opportunity to show your face on camera. Let’s prove that I’m not oppressing you. LYN: Come here. Give your Aunties and Uncles a New Year’s bow. LYN: We haven’t trimmed her fur lately so she’s looking a little haggard. She’s got stray hairs. She doesn’t have any schedules lately so she’s unkempt and there’s hair in front of her eyes, so you can’t really see them. LYN: Here, look here. To the front. LYN: She’s gotten fatter lately. I held her while going up the stairs and I think she’s gotten too fat. Fat and round, like a gas tank. I’m thinking of taking her to see YOLO (热辣滚烫). So she can see other’s determination and self-reflect. D: /barks/ (Don’t talk shit about me, dad.) LYN: Bark, bark. Why are you barking? Shush. LYN: Did you want to say something? Speak. What do you want to say? Speak. Didn’t you have something you wanted to say? Say it. I’m giving you mic, you can speak. Say something. Huh? /gets ignored/ Hey! Speak! LYN: Want. A. Sausage? (x2) LYN: Okay, forget it. I’ll let her go.

LYN: Okay, friends. It’s about time. I should stop streaming now. If you still haven’t subscribed to my weibo, please do so. If I wrap up early in the next few days I’ll stream for you again, okay? Thank you all for keeping me company and I hope you had a relaxing, happy, and wonderful night. It was great to have you, and I hope you had fun. Let’s meet again in the next stream. Goodnight, everybody!
