Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

On the way back, Wang Fu and Li Ye sat together in the back row.

The recording of the show was not over yet. Li Ye guessed that Wang Fu was definitely trying to cause trouble again, but he didn't care at all and calmly looked at the scenery outside the window.

After remaining silent for a good part of the journey, Wang Fu hesitated several times before finally speaking up.

"Have Zhang Hai and Yan Tao become your friends?"

Fearing that Li Ye would "reduce communication," Wang Fusheng added, "This is part of the program."

"Of course," Li Ye replied without hesitation.

Zhang Hai is a highly skilled coach who not only didn't charge him a penny, but also gave him many gifts along with Yan Tao, and told him about a surfing variety show, giving him a chance to try his luck.

Both of them treated him very well; if they weren't friends, what were they?

"But have you ever considered that they all have ulterior motives?"

Wang Fu reverted to the annoying look in Li Ye's eyes. "Let's not talk about Zhang Hai. When Yan Tao first met you, he thought you were just a minor celebrity, but he looked down on you until he learned about your surfing talent."

"Besides running a surf shop, Yan Tao also runs an outdoor sports brand. He probably thinks that with your talent, you will eventually make a name for yourself in the outdoor sports circle. In addition, you are an artist, which will bring considerable exposure to his brand."

"Did you notice any of these?" Wang Fu pressed on relentlessly.

Li Ye thought for a moment, then asked in return, "Director Wang, do you have any friends?"

He looked directly into Wang Fu's eyes, his clear eyes seemingly carrying a hint of pity.

"You...you're kidding, how could I not have friends? I have many friends both inside and outside the industry!" Wang Fu couldn't help but think that many of his friends were just like Yan Tao.

He had already begun to think about how to respond to Li Ye's probing questions.

However, Li Ye did not press his advantage. He simply said calmly, "Actually, I have never had many friends growing up. I don't know what your definition of a friend is. My understanding is that those who stay with me are my friends."

Just as he had previously answered Wang Fu's question about Liu Chun, he didn't care what his friends wanted from him, and no one was obligated to be nice to him.

Of course, he's not stupid; people who go too far will naturally drift away.

"I suddenly envy you. You're young, but you live with more clarity than most people."

Wang Fu was silent for a moment, then continued, "How do you feel about the criticism of your acting skills online?"

"At first it was very painful, I felt like the whole world was full of malice towards me."

Li Ye smiled awkwardly, "But after watching my own performance the day before yesterday, I've come to understand it."

"You were in a car accident a while ago, and some people said you were just trying to create a publicity stunt, and some even cursed you. Can you understand that?"

Li Ye shook his head. He didn't understand, but he chose to ignore this incomprehensible thing.

In short, he won't let trivial matters affect him.

"I've done my research. The news about your car accident was released by the production team, and it was a few days after the accident, coinciding with the release of the episode, when they tagged you on Weibo."

"Because of this incident, the web series has received a lot more attention, and its viewership has increased significantly compared to before."

"It's obvious that the production team used you. You're completely innocent, yet everyone's pointing the finger at you. Don't you feel a little wronged?"

"You can answer 'I don't know,' as long as there's a misunderstanding."

Li Ye was taken aback when he suddenly heard Wang Fu's last words. Was he trying to help him?

"Don't worry, this web series needs popularity, and our show needs popularity too. Even if we argue, it won't affect you personally."

Wang Fu smiled and said, "I'd also like to be friends with you."

"This isn't right, my acting was so bad..."

Before Li Ye could finish speaking, Wang Fu interrupted, "So you're just supposed to be used by them? You need to understand, you're just a supporting character, someone who only appeared in six episodes. Your impact on the show isn't that significant. On the contrary, the web series has actually seen a considerable increase in discussion and viewership because of you."

Li Ye thought about it and still felt something was wrong, but Wang Fu made the decision directly: "You don't have to answer, this has become a matter between me and the production team."

The conversation ended, and silence returned to the car until they arrived at the entrance of Li Ye's residential area.

Before getting off the bus, Wang Fu thought for a moment and said, "When you surf in the future, you can try making some videos. Make them look cool and stylish. People who are good at it like you are rare in the entertainment industry."

He felt that surfing might help Li Ye find a different path in the entertainment industry.

"I will." Li Ye didn't think too much about it; he just wanted to record it.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Finally, Wang Fu extended his hand to Li Ye, ending the recording of the program.

Actually, Li Ye didn't show any particular variety show sense from beginning to end, but for some reason, Wang Fu just felt that Li Ye was very special and that this episode was filmed very well.

Li Ye's performance was so good that Wang Fu began to worry whether the later guests would be as good as him.

With the help of the security guard, Li Ye carried two surfboards into the residential area.

After Li Ye disappeared from sight, Wang Fucai reluctantly returned to his car.

Oh no, I feel like I've just broken up with someone.

......

After returning home, Li Ye packed his things and went straight to sleep.

Sure enough, dream learning reappeared.

My aunt told me that the vocal teacher I'm meeting tomorrow is very strict, and if I don't have talent, the teacher might not teach me.

Therefore, Li Ye chose vocal music this time.

With a single thought, the scene instantly changed.

Li Ye looked around and realized that he seemed to have entered a recording studio, where he was wearing a headset and sitting in a chair.

Behind the glass window in front of me was a figure whose face I couldn't see.

A male voice came through the headset.

"Sing 'The Ordinary Road' once first, and let me see what stage you're at."

Based on his previous experience, Li Ye did not try to strike up a conversation with the vocal coach. After a little preparation, he began to sing a cappella.

After you finished singing it once, the vocal coach said, "You have good potential. Your timbre is unique and distinctive, your vocal cords close very well, and the structure of your nasal cavity makes you unconsciously use some resonance techniques."

"However, to prolong one's career and maintain one's vocal condition, one must become even more adept at utilizing these techniques..."

The teacher said a lot, and Li Ye realized that he actually had a lot of talent for singing!

If he had known this would happen, why did he choose to debut as an actor? Now he has a dark history that people can talk about for a lifetime.

"Teacher, teach me!"

......

The next day, Li Ye received a phone call and went out with his guitar on his back.

The moment Ding Yan saw Li Ye, her brows furrowed. "Why are you so much darker?"

"It's alright." Li Ye rubbed his face; at least he didn't get sunburned.

"The vocal teacher is Liu Yufen. Before retiring, she was a professor at the Guangzhou Conservatory of Music. In her early years, she taught many popular singers, including last year's rising star, Zhong Manyue, who was her student."

Ding Yan said unhurriedly, "I showed your song to Zhong Manyue, and she recommended you to Teacher Liu Yufen."

Li Ye knew Zhong Manyue; she was also an artist under Fanxing Entertainment.

He had heard Li Chengsong joke that if Ding Yan hadn't been away on a business trip, she might have been Zhong Manyue's manager.

For the next three days, Li Ye saw his uncle sleeping on the sofa in the living room.
