Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

"Wang Fu has such a big reputation!"

After saying goodbye to Producer Huang, on the way back to the hotel, Yan Tao stroked his chin and looked at Zhang Hai, scolding, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Hai wanted to punch him, but after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Should you have someone contact Wang Fu, or should you tell Li Ye and let him contact him himself?"

"We'll definitely talk to Li Ye after we've got everything sorted out."

Noticing Zhang Hai's disdainful look, Yan Tao shook his head and said, "You big oaf didn't notice? Anyway, I could tell that Director Wang doesn't really like Li Ye."

He still remembers that when he first met Li Ye, Wang Fu stood by and watched the show.

The next day, he went with him to watch Li Ye surf, but Wang Fu didn't seem to care much about Li Ye's surfing skills.

Of course, all this work is just to make sure Li Ye reads it well; there's no reason to let someone do it halfway through.

Back at the hotel, Yan Tao spent a lot of effort and finally got Wang Fu's contact information.

It was almost 11 p.m., and Yan Tao knew that people in the entertainment industry, especially directors, didn't go to bed this early, so he chose to call them directly.

Sure enough, the call was answered quickly.

"Who is it?"

"Director Wang, I'm Yan Tao, the owner of Xichong Giant Wave Surfing Shop."

"Oh, Mr. Yan, what can I do for you?"

Wang Fu was not surprised by Yan Tao's call; a cameraman on the show gave out his contact information only after obtaining his permission.

"That's roughly it..."

"You mean you want me to say good things about Li Ye?"

"Yes, yes, he's a newcomer with no connections, so we can only trouble you."

Yan Tao smiled somewhat ingratiatingly: "I have one more small request. Could you send me some footage of Li Ye surfing? After the producer approves, the show's director might have to take a look at Li Ye's surfing skills."

"You expect me to sift through that huge pile of materials and specifically find Li Ye's surfing footage to send to you?"

Wang Fu's words left Yan Tao unsure of his true intentions, giving him a strange feeling that the other party was teasing him.

But he still humbled himself and said, "Director Wang, I know this is troublesome, but this is a very important opportunity for Li Ye. Or rather, if you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them."

"Okay, I understand. I'll send the video directly to Li Ye."

The call ended there, and Yan Tao had no choice but to wait.

For some reason, he felt that Wang Fu was targeting him, yet he also seemed genuinely willing to cooperate.

On the other side, Wang Fu looked at the computer screen.

This is a video editing interface. In the paused scene, Li Ye is riding the sunset, with waves splashing around him, and he has a bright smile on his face... full of vigor and showing his surging vitality.

Nearly a week has passed since Li Ye and the show parted ways, and the program is about to film the third guest.

Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps out of admiration, Wang Fu asked his staff to compile the footage of Li Ye surfing and planned to edit it himself, intending to give it to Li Ye so that he could post it on Douyin.

Now, disturbed by Yan Tao's phone call, he inexplicably felt that the gift was no longer perfect.

I should have known better than to give Yan Tao my contact information.

......

Li Ye came to Teacher Liu's house again for a vocal lesson.

These past few days, he has been coming to class on time every day.

He also chose to practice vocal music during his dream practice at night.

Therefore, Liu Yufen was pleasantly surprised by his progress and appreciated and liked him even more.

However, Li Ye could sense that the vocal practice in the dream world didn't seem to have made as much progress as when he was practicing surfing.

Apart from the first time, the subsequent dream-based vocal exercises were all aimed at consolidating what he already knew at this stage.

Li Ye also discovered something else: in the learning space of the dream, he could not choose any new learning direction besides surfing and vocal music.

He is currently unable to determine the true reason.

As Li Ye was about to say goodbye after class, Liu Yufen waved to him, signaling him not to leave so soon, and asked curiously, "Xiao Ye, I heard you want to open your own studio?"

Li Ye was not surprised that Liu Yufen would know that Ding Yan had started negotiations with Fanxing, but the progress was not going smoothly.

He nodded somewhat awkwardly, after all, he had taken advantage of Liu Yufen's status as a student to some extent.

"Could you tell me your thoughts?"

"My real thought is that I don't want too many restrictions..."

"You're right to worry about that. Once you sign with a company, you won't have as much creative freedom."

Li Ye felt ashamed; what he was actually more worried about was not having enough time to surf...

"Your foundation is still weak. Even if you open a studio, you won't get much support and you'll likely miss out on many opportunities."

Liu Yufen patted Li Ye's hand and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I'm not here to persuade you. I just want to hear your thoughts and give you some advice that may not be correct."

Opening a personal music studio is something most singer-songwriters do, but that usually happens after they have several representative works.

Li Ye was able to write "The Ordinary Road," so he definitely has a talent for songwriting. But whether he can write good songs in the future is something no one can say for sure.

Therefore, even if Fanxing agrees to cooperate with Li Ye in the form of a studio, it will not provide much support in the early stages, and Li Ye will have to rely on himself more.

Liu Yufen didn't have many concerns about personal gain; she simply hoped that Li Ye could have a smoother path in life.

"I've thought about this question, and I don't know if there can be another song of the quality of 'The Ordinary Road'."

Li Ye was quite frank, revealing a bright smile: "But it's okay, you'll lose something in the process of gaining something."

Liu Yufen wanted to persuade him further, but seeing Li Ye's smile, she swallowed her words.

"You don't need to come to class tomorrow."

"ha?"

Li Ye was startled. Liu Yufen's prank had succeeded. She smiled triumphantly and patted Li Ye's head: "Go record a song at Fanxing and show them your talent!"

......

After leaving Liu Yufen's house, Li Ye drove to the gate of a middle school.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is in two days, and Li Xiran's school has been used as an examination venue, giving her a three-day holiday.

Li Xiran wanted to bring many books home, but Ding Yan was busy and Li Chengsong was on a film set in another city, so the task of picking them up was given to Li Ye.

There were many vehicles at the school gate. Li Ye parked his car far away and waited at the school gate.

After waiting for a while, I spotted Li Xiran carrying a large backpack and a stack of books in her arms. She was accompanied by two girls and surrounded by several male classmates.

Among a large group of people wearing school uniforms, Li Xiran still stood out.

Before Li Xiran could even spot Li Ye, her female classmate next to her exclaimed, "Look, there's a handsome guy over there!"

"cut!"

Several male students moved around and jumped to block their view, but when Li Xiran glared at them, they all unconsciously moved aside.

"Wow, he's so handsome and tall, he must be 185cm!" another female classmate exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing their infatuated voices, Li Xiran felt a mix of emotions. The handsome guy in your eyes had actually been the subject of your laughter.

Li Xiran hesitated for a moment, feeling that she should give Li Ye some face in front of outsiders.

But because of her two best friends' infatuation with him, she worried that Li Ye would think she changed her attitude just to save face in front of her classmates.

"hope Ran!" Li Ye, unaware of the girl's thoughts, simply waved to Li Xi Ran.

The two good friends looked at Li Xiran in surprise, never knowing that there was such a person in her family.

Could it be that...?

Looking at the handsome older brother who wasn't much older than them, the male students could almost hear each other's hearts breaking.

"That's my brother," Li Xiran said helplessly, and walked towards Li Ye.
