Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

"It doesn't hurt at all, I haven't eaten!"

Li Ye made a provocative remark and started running in circles, with Gu Xiaoyu chasing after him.

Sun Hui and Zhang Hai both smiled as they watched the two playfully bickering.

Fang Xueying was also smiling, but her feelings were somewhat complicated.

She envied Gu Xiaoyu, who could be herself freely, both on and off camera, and express her true emotions without restraint.

"Xiaoyu, hit him!" Wang Haoyang suddenly stood up and grabbed Li Ye, who was running over.

Gu Xiaoyu was smiling at first, but for some reason she didn't want to smile anymore. She gently patted Li Ye twice and then withdrew her hand, feeling bored.

Sun Hui shook his head inwardly. He had reminded him that afternoon that if you can't fit into a circle, don't force it.

"Ah Ye, come with me for a moment." Liu Zhiyuan beckoned.

Li Ye straightened his collar, which had been disheveled by Wang Haoyang, and followed him outside into the courtyard.

"Are you planning to sing this song yourself?"

"Since it's the theme song, let's all sing it together," Li Ye said without hesitation.

Liu Zhiyuan's face lit up with joy. That was exactly what he was thinking, but he didn't want to ask in front of everyone, as it might seem like he was putting pressure on them.

"So, what do you want to do with this song?"

"Authorized for use by the production team."

Li Ye answered quickly. Liu Zhiyuan felt regretful, but he also understood that it was impossible to buy out the rights directly: "Okay, I'll talk to your agent about the licensing fee."

Li Ye nodded, and when he was done, he went back to chat with everyone. He happened to see Wang Haoyang asking Gu Xiaoyu for advice on acting.

"Teacher Sun and Sister Xueying are both here, what do you want with me?" Gu Xiaoyu frowned.

Although she has formal training and solid fundamentals, she hasn't won a single award yet.

Sun Hui has won Best Actor awards, and Fang Xueying was nominated for Best Actress last year.

Gu Xiaoyu even suspected that Wang Haoyang was deliberately trying to embarrass her!

Wang Haoyang was completely unaware of this; he simply wanted to find more topics to talk about with Gu Xiaoyu.

"We have more in common, don't we? They're all filmmakers, and their acting styles are quite different from ours."

Wang Haoyang's eyes darted around, and he thought he had come up with a very good reason.

"Acting is all interconnected. I'm still learning myself, so you should find someone else," Gu Xiaoyu said, her voice much more subdued.

She released a movie this year, and it flopped spectacularly as the lead actress.

Because of this, I've been ridiculed by haters quite a bit.

A while ago, a fellow actress from the same period also starred in a movie, and it did well at the box office. They even bought a lot of negative articles to smear her.

Gu Xiaoyu had seen similar sarcastic remarks from Wang Haoyang in those smear articles and haters' comments. The fact that he didn't directly curse her showed his good manners.

Gu Xiaoyu is actually quite thoughtful. She was feeling guilty for omitting Wang Haoyang in yesterday's group photo, but now she feels completely relieved.

However, Wang Haoyang, completely oblivious to the situation, imitated Gu Xiaoyu's earlier actions, bowing and scraping respectfully: "Master, please accept my bow!"

Gu Xiaoyu: "..."

When people are speechless, they really are speechless.

But then Gu Xiaoyu suddenly thought, "Am I that annoying in Li Ye's eyes?"

She couldn't help but look at Li Ye.

Sun Hui seemed to have drunk too much. His left arm, holding a beer, was around Li Ye's shoulder, while his right hand had somehow produced a cigarette.

"Ah Ye, it's a good thing you don't drink. And please don't smoke in the future. God gave you such a good voice, you should cherish it."

"I know, but Hui-ge, aren't you afraid of getting scolded for smoking like this?"

Li Ye gave a reminder, and as if sensing something, he turned his head and met Gu Xiaoyu's gaze.

The two of them glared at each other simultaneously.

Only Wang Haoyang noticed this scene and saw Gu Xiaoyu's slightly upturned lips as she looked away.

Is that so?

Wang Haoyang was heartbroken but also thoughtful.

He kept staring at Gu Xiaoyu until finally, he received a glance from her that she happened to glance at him.

Wang Haoyang glared at him fiercely.

Why are you glaring at me?!

Gu Xiaoyu couldn't hold back any longer. "I've tolerated you for so long, and you're still taking advantage of me, aren't you?"

Wang Haoyang: "???"

Fortunately, Liu Zhiyuan returned at this time.

Less than ten minutes after Li Ye returned, Liu Zhiyuan had everything sorted out.

Get Producer Huang to approve a budget of 30, and then reach an agreement with Ding Yan.

"Ah Ye plans to have everyone sing 'One Wave at a Time' together. You guys divide up the lyrics and practice hard. We're already practicing in the local recording studio, and we'll try to record this song as soon as possible."

After delivering the news, Liu Zhiyuan left behind the printed lyrics and departed.

Gu Xiaoyu, too lazy to bother with Wang Haoyang anymore, found Li Ye and declared with a "I'm going to stick with you" attitude: "If you don't teach me to sing, I'll ruin this song!"

"If you can ruin this song, then you're really something." Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

It's not easy to sing such a simple song with feeling, but it's also difficult for even tone-deaf people to sing it badly.

Sun Hui glanced at Li Ye, pondered for a moment while holding the lyrics, and then began to divide the lyrics.

The overall performance was mainly sung by Li Ye, with each person only having one line of lyrics. The rest of the songs were either solos by Li Ye, duets with different people, or a large chorus.

Sun Hui took the initiative to distribute the lyrics because he was afraid Li Ye would feel embarrassed, and also because he was afraid that someone would lack tact and want to show off.

When distributing the lyrics, Wang Haoyang seemed hesitant to speak, but seeing Sun Hui's ambiguous gaze, he ultimately said nothing.

......

Two days later.

The arrangement of "One Wave at a Time" was given to Zhang Xiaoqi, and after several communications with Li Ye, the production has been completed.

Furthermore, out of respect for Li Ye, Zhang Xiaoqi specially traveled from Guangzhou to Wanning to take charge of the song recording.

After finishing work and having dinner, the group headed to the city and arrived at a rather simple recording studio, where they met Zhang Xiaoqi, who was talking with the studio staff.

After a brief introduction to the others, Zhang Xiaoqi patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, you've got a new song so soon."

Li Ye then said, "There's another song, I'll show it to you later."

He finally finished reading "Blue Lotus" last night, and wrote out the lyrics and sheet music on his phone as soon as he got up this morning.

Zhang Xiaoqi looked delighted, while the others were even more surprised.

Especially Zhang Hai; Li Ye goes straight to sleep every night, I've never seen him create anything!

The recording process was still underway and time was tight, so Zhang Xiaoqi suppressed his curiosity and began working.

Li Ye first recorded his solo part, and after several takes, it met Zhang Xiaoqi's requirements, taking a little over half an hour.

But Zhang Hai's second recording didn't go so smoothly.

He only had one line of lyrics, but it took him almost an hour to record.

Next up was Fang Xueying. Her voice was good, but her pitch was a bit off, so she had to record several takes.

When Wang Haoyang and Fang Xue came out to greet him, he muttered to himself, not quietly, "Is it really that difficult to say just one line?"

Everyone frowned.

Although I know he may not have any bad intentions, his show-off tendencies are really annoying.
