All-rounder Artist-Chapter 837 - 794: Better to Retreat and Weave a Web

Lin Yuan went viral!

Due to his identity as the lead designer of "Plants vs. Zombies," the real name behind the alias Xian Yu became widely known to the public for the first time!

Online.

With the relationship between Xian Yu and the game being revealed, many celebrities sprang into action!

The King of Singing from the Yu Dynasty, Jiang Kui, was the first to repost the download link for "Plants vs. Zombies" and then added:

"I've been playing this game a lot lately, friends who've played it, raise your hands!"

Xia Fan also posted an update:

"A game designed by Lin Yuan, are you guys sure you don't want to give it a try? Don't tell me you don't know who Lin Yuan is."

Wei Haoyun commented:

"Teacher Admirable Fish is really a genius, 'Plants vs. Zombies' is the most fun game I've played this year!"

Other singers from Yu Dynasty were certainly not idle either.

Chen Zhiyu gives it his wholehearted recommendation!

Zhao Ying Ge gives it her wholehearted recommendation!

Sun Yaohuo gives it a blood-spitting recommendation!

Even some celebrities outside the Yu Dynasty joined in!

Among these people, some had interacted with Xian Yu before, some had benefited from collaborating with him, and others simply wanted to curry favor with Xian Yu, actively promoting the game on their own initiative!

With so many celebrities recommending together, the scene was incredibly spectacular!

All the major game companies turned green with envy!

Keep in mind.

When major game companies release games, if they want a celebrity to advertise for them, they have to pay!

The bigger the celebrity, the higher the fee!

But what about Xian Yu?

This little Maestro Junior simply revealed his identity as a game designer, and a bunch of A-list celebrities took the initiative to recommend the game he designed!

"Comparing yourself with others will only make you envious!"

"The last time I wanted He Sheng to recommend our game to his fans, his agent demanded an advertising fee starting at one million. Yet now Xian Yu designs a game, and this guy recommends it so happily without even taking money!"

"The last time I wanted the White Swan Shu Yu to make a recommendation, her price was straight up two million!"

"Those A-list celebrities charge an outrageous fee for a single advertisement, and now they're all over Xian Yu's game, recommending it like crazy!"

"Could it be that Xian Yu paid them?"

"Paid my ass, I just asked an agent from a celebrity we worked with before, and they said that the stars took the initiative to recommend Xian Yu's game without him even contacting them!"

"Damn!"

"Exactly as I thought!"

"In front of Xian Yu, these celebrities are no different from a bunch of sycophants!"

"When we ask those celebrities to do promotions, don't we behave just like sycophants too, unless you're a top game company that can make the stars actively seek cooperation, but even then it's not for free."

"Suddenly I'm reminded of a saying: you never know how proactive your goddess can be in front of others!"

"Stop it, I can't hold back the tears!"

"..."

Indeed, just as some game companies knew.

Lin Yuan didn't take the initiative to ask any celebrity for help with the promotion.

The promotion of "Plants vs. Zombies" by these celebrities was entirely spontaneous.

It wasn't only the companies within the industry who were emotional about this.

Many netizens also left comments in the celebrities' comment sections saying "this is real life."

It's too real!

When nobody knew that "Plants vs. Zombies" was designed by Xian Yu, even though many people liked the game, no celebrities took the initiative to recommend or promote it.

After the news about Xian Yu being a game designer came out, these celebrities suddenly got energized!

One by one, these big names eagerly recommended the game to their fans, showing an overwhelming love for it!

Hmm?

Where were you all earlier?

Isn't it all just to score brownie points with Xian Yu?

Sure enough, celebrities are just like ordinary people.

When facing someone who can influence their prospects, they turn into fawning sycophants too.

...

The comment section of Xian Yu's blog was also incredibly lively at this moment!

Many fans amused themselves by teasing:

"Scriptwriters who don't want to become game designers are not good musicians!"

"Some people seem to be musicians, but they are actually scriptwriters for film and television, and behind the scenes, they're game designers!"

"No more nesting dolls!"

"When it comes to crossing genres, I only respect Xian Yu!"

"Fish Papa, don't neglect your proper job. Start working on a new movie, write new songs, and don't get addicted to games. You're still young and might not be able to control yourself—let me do it!"

"Lin Yuan, Fish Papa's real name sounds so nice!"

"I'm curious why you chose to debut with the name 'Xian Yu'?"

"Do the two characters of 'Xian Yu' have some special meaning?"

"..."

Besides teasing Xian Yu, many people were also curious.

Why did Lin Yuan choose to debut with the name "Xian Yu"?

It's essentially a stage name.

It seems to have some special significance.

Surrounded by this question, many netizens began to discuss it with interest:

"Could it be because Fish Papa himself likes to eat fish?"

"Pfft, why don't you say that Fish Papa envies the freedom of fish?"

"I think it should be related to Fish Papa's real name, which contains the character 'Yuan,' and 'Yuan' refers to a pool of water, so his stage name being 'Xian Yu' makes sense, since fish live in water after all."

"I'm more inclined to think that he envies the freedom of fish."

"Fish roam freely, but Fish Papa, in his early years due to health issues, faced a lot of restrictions."

"That does make sense, and matches the literal interpretation. His health problems were severe in the early days, preventing him from freely doing what he loved, such as singing."

"Perhaps it's a combination of both."

"Fish is related to the character 'Yuan,' and because of the reasons everyone mentioned, his stage name is Xian Yu."

"..."

Lin Yuan was also browsing the internet.

He saw the discussions among his fans about the origin of his stage name.

Why is it called Xian Yu?

Actually, this was not some secret that needed to be hidden.

After thinking for a while.

Lin Yuan used his blog account to post an update, which served as an explanation for the origin of his pseudonym, and he shared this message with countless Blue Starian:

"It's better to go home and weave a net than to stand by the pond and envy the fish."

There was no need for a detailed explanation; the sentence was easy to understand.

Originally, it was because of this saying by an ancient sage on Earth that Lin Yuan chose this name.

At this moment.

The netizens who were discussing the stage name "Xian Yu" were stunned after seeing Lin Yuan's post.

It's better to go home and weave a net than to stand by the pond and envy the fish?

Stand by the pond, Lin Yuan?

This saying is too classic!

Is Xian Yu explaining the origin of his stage name?

"Worthy of being Fish Papa, the implication behind this stage name is truly unmatched!"

"This sentence is so philosophical!"

"Without a bit of culture, you can't even understand it!"

"Fish Papa's literary grace is freaking amazing, even his stage name is so meaningful!"

"I kind of understand the literal meaning of this sentence, but is there a GOAT who can explain it in detail?"

"No need for a detailed explanation, actually, the principle is very simple: rather than standing by the pond and watching the fish swim merrily in the water, fantasizing about having the fish in hand, it's better to go back and make the effort to weave a fishing net to catch fish and fulfill your wishes."

"I understand the meaning, my question is why did Fish Papa say this sentence?"

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

"..."

Many people were at a loss for an answer.

Why did Xian Yu say such a sentence?

Beyond its original meaning, did this sentence have any special significance?

The philosophy contained in the sentence was not hard to understand if you simply translated it literally from classical text, but not everyone could see through the true starting point of Xian Yu's statement.

For a moment.

Many netizens were guessing.

There were also netizens who forwarded this sentence.

As a famous saying written into the textbooks of the Celestial Dynasty, the saying caused quite a stir, and because Xian Yu was so famous, more and more people started trying to figure out why Xian Yu said this sentence.

And just when everyone was at a loss.

A forum GOAT with the id "Swallow" appeared:

"I thought long and hard before I figured out a bit of the flavor. To understand the meaning of this sentence, everyone needs to consider it in the context of Teacher Admirable Fish's own experiences."

The netizens were taken aback.

Consider it in the context of Teacher Admirable Fish's experiences?

This Swallow was a GOAT on the forum, well-known by many. They were always active on the forum, and their insights were always insightful, with many fans and therefore a high level of attention.

In the post.

Swallow continued to speak, revealing the truth:

"Those who know about Teacher Admirable Fish are aware that his childhood dream was to be a singer, but due to health reasons, he couldn't sing anymore. So, do you all still think he only envied those fishes in the water?"

This statement awakened the netizens!

Many people suddenly saw the light!

That's it!

He envied the singers!

Are the fish in the water referring to the singers?

Yes!

Xian Yu's throat was ruined because of his poor health before, but after recovering, he even participated in the variety show "The Masked Singer" to fulfill his singing dream, which showed his passion for singing!

This was common knowledge!

So the meaning of "weaving a net" became clear!

If he couldn't be a singer, then he would be a composer, a Maestro!

Instead of envying those singers, he would write songs for them to sing, realizing his dream in another form!

Looking back!

The birth of the Yu Dynasty was indeed due to Xian Yu laying down a net of music; although he was once unable to sing to his heart's content, his songs were widely circulated!

What talent was that?

What a decision was that?

Many netizens were moved!

"I never imagined the back story behind the name Xian Yu would be so sad..."

"Standing by the pond envying the fish, Lin Yuan envying the fish..."

"We only saw Fish Papa's talent but didn't know the pains and struggles he went through. Who would have thought his becoming Maestro Junior was a decision made out of helplessness?"

"I don't see it as helplessness but rather as open-mindedness, this is the grand realm of life!"

"I have to say, Xian Yu is genuinely awesome!"

"Lin Yuan envies the fish, then let's weave a net and harvest these fish with the identity of Maestro!"

"Xian Yu, what a spirit!"

"Swallow GOAT is freaking awesome too, to be able to interpret this much!"

"..."

This interpretation directly gained the recognition of all the netizens!

And after understanding the meaning behind the sentence, the netizens felt even more the terror of Xian Yu!

The two characters Xian Yu, revealed talent and decisiveness to an extraordinary degree!

Meanwhile, at home.

Lin Yuan looked at the interpretations of the netizens and was somewhat baffled:

Ah huh?
