Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

Explorer is a domestic outdoor sports brand that has been established for just over a year, but it is by no means a no-name brand.

Its parent company is financially strong and has always been committed to making the brand a top player in the industry.

Currently, it is perceived by the outside world as a very stylish niche brand.

The endorsement of Explorers may not be very attractive to some top-tier celebrities, but it is definitely an extremely high-quality collaboration opportunity for Li Ye.

Even for a top-tier celebrity like Wang Haoyang, it still holds considerable appeal.

Not to mention that Explorers offered Li Ye, a newcomer, a three-year, ten million yuan endorsement contract. This is not just a simple show of sincerity; it's more like a show of favoritism.

Indeed, Li Ye has a huge following right now, he's a sensation across the internet, and has almost become synonymous with "freedom".

But these are all temporary.

Regardless, Li Ye was just a newcomer with no foundation. When the tide receded, no one knew if he could still stand on the crest of the wave.

The 10 million offered by the explorers over three years, aside from the tasks involved in the collaboration itself, didn't include any other miscellaneous bets.

Regardless of whether Li Ye continues to generate traffic or produce new works, as long as he signs the contract, the money will arrive in his account quickly.

"A-Ye, let me explain it to you in detail..."

Producer Huang thought Li Ye didn't understand the brand or the market, and didn't dare to agree rashly because his agent wasn't around: "So you don't need to rush to refuse, and you don't have to sign the contract now. You should discuss it with your team first."

"That's right. If you have any other requests, please feel free to make them, and we will try our best to accommodate them," Liang Xiaochuan said sincerely.

The Explorer brand embodies courage, freedom, adventure, and always being on the road.

For more than a year since its establishment, they have not looked for a spokesperson, not because they lacked the budget, but simply because they had not found a suitable one.

Until they saw Li Ye's video and heard "The Ordinary Road," almost all the senior executives unanimously agreed that Li Ye was the spokesperson they needed.

The chairman even gave a direct order that Li Ye must be signed.

Liang Xiaochuan then added, "Fifteen million over three years. We believe in your future, and we ask that you believe we can grow together."

"I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer right now." Li Ye shook his head again, his thoughts a jumble of emotions.

He was just a poor kid with less than 50,000 yuan in savings. When he heard Liang Xiaochuan's first offer, his brain short-circuited.

The reason he refused was that he inexplicably thought of Zhang Hai and Yan Tao.

Yan Tao also owns an outdoor sports brand, and Li Ye recently learned that Zhang Hai also holds a significant number of shares in it.

Li Ye knew that this reason was incredibly stupid compared to 1,500, but he couldn't get past his own conscience.

Liang Xiaochuan and Huang Zhi were both very good at reading people's expressions. They could tell that Li Ye was very interested, but for some reason, he would actually refuse.

"Ah Ye, we're not that close yet, but I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

Producer Huang said earnestly, "One must always hold on to what is right in front of them."

His point was simple: Li Ye should make money while the traffic is at its peak, especially since this is a high-quality collaboration.

"Can you tell me why?" Liang Xiaochuan asked patiently.

Seeing that the other party was genuinely sincere, Li Ye, while feeling apologetic, made an excessive request: "If I become the spokesperson for Explorer, could you allow me to use and wear clothing and equipment from other outdoor brands in private?"

"That's impossible."

Liang Xiaochuan shook his head decisively, then keenly noticed that Li Ye was wearing a quick-drying shirt with the wave logo. He pointed to his chest and asked, "You mean this brand?"

"Isn't this President Yan's giant wave?"

Producer Huang looked over curiously, then immediately realized why Li Ye had refused, and said in bewilderment, "Is it because of this?"

Li Ye nodded without offering further explanation.

Producer Huang didn't need Li Ye to explain; he was one of the parties involved and immediately told Liang Xiaochuan what had happened.

After hearing this, Liang Xiaochuan didn't show the admiration one would expect from the protagonist in a novel; instead, his expression turned strange.

How can there still be such foolish people in this era?

However, Liang Xiaochuan wasn't in a hurry.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Give me two days, and I will resolve this matter."

Li Ye didn't know how he would resolve the issue, and fearing that his Dao heart might be unstable, he quickly took his leave.

Watching his departing figure, Producer Huang felt somewhat angry at his lack of ambition, while also experiencing a strange feeling in his heart.

Back in the courtyard, Li Ye had just sat down when Gu Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Why did the production crew call you over?"

"It's nothing."

"Tch, things are different now that they're famous, all mysterious." Gu Xiaoyu pouted in dissatisfaction.

Li Ye calmly replied, "I'm not telling you, I'm not telling you!"

Wang Haoyang took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Alright, Xiaoyu, why do you always provoke Aye?"

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Gu Xiaoyu pointed to herself incredulously, her face full of question marks.

"A-Ye, although we've only known each other for three days, I can tell you're a very nice person."

Wang Haoyang crossed his arms, looking slightly apologetic: "I'm the kind of person who gets carried away with my emotions and sometimes speaks without thinking. I hope you don't mind."

After saying that, he picked up his beer and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing him finish the remaining beer in one gulp and drink so heartily, everyone was filled with awe and respect.

"Haoyang, you sometimes take things too seriously, but being serious is also a good thing. Don't worry, everyone knows you don't mean anything by it."

Worried that Li Ye wouldn't give Wang Haoyang a way out, Sun Hui took the initiative to change the subject and then asked, "Ah Ye, what are you going to do next?"

"What's the follow-up?" Li Ye asked, puzzled.

Sun Hui explained, "For example, filming movies, releasing songs, are there any other work plans afterward?"

"The show's production has only just begun."

Li Ye then realized what Sun Hui was asking and truthfully replied, "There's no other work coming up. As for releasing a song... we'll release it if we have any."

Upon hearing this answer, everyone except Zhang Hai, who was not in the industry, looked surprised.

Wang Haoyang became even more disdainful, thinking that a minor artist was just a lucky break.

"How could this happen!"

Gu Xiaoyu asked anxiously, "Doesn't your company have any plans for you at all?"

Li Ye thought for a moment and then shook his head.

He was in charge of the studio himself, and he really didn't have any plans.

However, he quickly offered an explanation.

It was only then that everyone realized that Li Ye, a newcomer, had actually opened a studio and had complete autonomy.

"You've made a good start, but the hype will eventually die down. If an artist wants to be remembered by the audience, they ultimately have to rely on exposure and their work."

Sun Hui genuinely cared about Li Ye and said, "Whether it's acting, singing, or doing a show, you need to have a general idea of ​​what you want to do. Take advantage of the opportunity to choose now."
