Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

No one present expected Liu Chun to suddenly bring up this topic; even the production team was surprised.

This is naturally a good thing for the show, as it's the only source of buzz surrounding Li Ye.

Ding Yan had already communicated with the production team beforehand, and they agreed that the production team should not bring up this topic during the recording.

Wang Fu was initially hesitant about this, but Liu Chun helped him out.

"But... is this really a friend?" Wang Fu made his judgment, his gaze lingering on Liu Chun for a moment before returning to Li Ye.

He was eagerly anticipating Li Ye's reaction.

Li Ye was about to pick up some food when he heard Liu Chun's words. He paused slightly, picked up a piece of pork rib, put it in his mouth, ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, swallowed it, and answered truthfully, "I didn't see it."

"This is your first acting role. Even though it's just a web series, it's still very meaningful. How can you not watch it?"

Liu Chun also ate a mouthful of rice and put a piece of spare rib on Li Ye's plate. "Moreover, as actors, we can't just throw away the show after filming. Watching the finished product can also help us find our shortcomings."

Li Ye was only slightly surprised by the topic, but he didn't think much of it or get angry.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously, realizing that Liu Chun's words made sense. "I'll take a good look at it later."

To become a successful celebrity, good looks alone are not enough, and without the backing of powerful investors, one must naturally hone their professional skills.

Li Ye was also very curious: just how bad was his acting that it could make a small web series generate so much buzz online?

Li Ye's reaction disappointed Wang Fu.

When a normal person's weaknesses are exposed, even if they don't react negatively or remain stubborn, they should at least show some embarrassment, right?

What's with Li Ye's serious yet shameless demeanor?

Wang Fu had inquired and learned that Li Ye was a very reclusive person who rarely interacted with others while on set.

Wang Fu thought being aloof was a good thing; it made him stand out and easily attracted attention.

But now it seems that Li Ye is really quite ordinary, or like a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry who is shrewd and unpredictable.

While Wang Fu was still wondering if he had chosen the wrong person, Liu Chun brought him another surprise.

Compared to Wang Fu and others who didn't know Li Ye, Liu Chun was even more surprised.

"Shouldn't Li Ye have turned cold and remained silent the moment I brought up this topic?"

He had even prepared for the possibility of being kicked out by Li Ye.

Is it because they're recording a TV show?

That doesn't make sense either; Li Ye wouldn't consider so many people.

Liu Chun realized he didn't quite recognize Li Ye anymore.

But he wasn't trying to provoke Li Ye. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since we don't have anything to do this afternoon, how about we watch a show together?"

Li Ye frowned, instinctively wanting to refuse.

It's already weird to watch yourself act in front of the camera, let alone knowing that you didn't act well.

But then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem like such a big deal.

"Okay." He nodded.

After dinner, Liu Chun took on the task of washing the dishes again, insisting that Li Ye not have to lift a finger and that he should find the show first so they could watch it together later.

After washing the dishes, Liu Chun brought out some washed fruit, saying, "Eat some fruit; it's better to have a balanced diet."

Li Ye felt that Liu Chunzhen was taking care of him like a child.

"What's the point of watching a show if you don't read the comments?"

Liu Chun sat down on the sofa, found the remote control, and turned on the live chat.

[Yuan Yuan is so handsome!]

[Support Yuanyuan's new drama.]

[Coming here because of its reputation.]

In which episode does Li Ye get into a car accident?

Li Ye: "..."

He noticed the comment with his sharp eyes, realizing that he still had some popularity.

Liu Chun also saw it and said indignantly, "Some people online are saying that your car accident was a publicity stunt, which is really too extreme."

Li Ye didn't reply and silently watched the show.

The quality of this drama was so-so, and the plot wasn't to Li Ye's liking either; it made him feel a bit drowsy while watching it.

Near the end of the first episode, Liu Chun shouted, "Look, you've appeared! How handsome you are!"

Only then did Li Ye realize why the comments a few seconds earlier had said "High energy coming."

This is a modern idol drama. Li Ye plays a rich second-generation heir who is a popular figure in college.

The character is quite flamboyant and unconventional; if played well, he can be quite likable. But Li Ye in the past simply couldn't play this kind of role.

Therefore, his appearance was completely disjointed.

Moreover, whether due to budget constraints or intentional design by the production team, the character Li Ye was not voiced.

His unchanging, monotone delivery of lines instantly pulled the viewer out of the story.

In just a few short seconds, a scene that required absolutely no acting skills, it was clear that he was completely out of place in the film.

As expected, the barrage was full of insults, with no encouragement or support whatsoever, except for a few scattered comments like "This actor is quite handsome."

Without Wang Fu's instructions, the backstage operators pointed most of the cameras in the living room at Li Ye, and the two cameramen also found their own angles to give Li Ye close-ups.

Li Ye's reaction surprised everyone. He shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "So my acting was really bad."

Oh, so you knew that too.

The crew members had mixed feelings. Most of them were unfamiliar with Li Ye. He was handsome, polite, and had a pleasant voice, making him seem like a high-quality idol.

It feels like the filter has shattered.

Wang Fu couldn't help but shake his head. He only knew that Li Ye's acting skills were bad, but he didn't expect them to be this bad. Those young actors who were heavily criticized were qualified to be Li Ye's teachers.

No wonder a lowly web series could become a minor hit online just because of one actor's poor acting.

Of course, Li Ye's car accident played the biggest role.

"It's not that bad, but you really need to work harder on your acting skills," Liu Chun said earnestly.

"Let's fast forward from here on out, just watch my parts." Li Ye wanted to know just how bad his acting skills were.

He also remembered something: his original role was supposed to be the third male lead, and he would appear in the twenty-fifth episode, which was the finale.

He was hit by a car and died in just five episodes...

On the contrary, Liu Chun, who was originally just a minor character, ended up filming for almost a month longer than Li Ye.

Yes, Li Ye spent less than two weeks filming this movie.

"No rush..."

Liu Chun thought for a moment and gave a reasonable explanation: "Watch one more episode. You can't just watch your own show; you have to have a general understanding of the overall style of the show."

Li Ye thought that made sense.

Liu Chun appeared not long after the second episode.

Like Li Ye, Liu Chun also used his own voice for his lines.

However, Liu Chun's good command of dialogue is a plus, and his acting skills are very solid.

At least in Li Ye's opinion, Liu Chun's acting was much more natural than most of the actors in the play.

"Brother Chun, your acting is really good," Li Ye said sincerely.

Liu Chun quickly suppressed the smirk on his face and waved his hand modestly, "No, no, there's still so much to learn. Look here..."

He began explaining to Li Ye the character biography he had written for the role, why he acted that way back then, and what shortcomings it had in retrospect.

As they chatted, the topic eventually returned to Li Ye.

Liu Chun began to skip the other plot points and fast-forward to Li Ye's scenes, explaining the character played by Li Ye in the same way.

Li Ye listened attentively without showing any impatience.

In this respect, Liu Chun is indeed more professional than Li Ye.

After all, he is a professionally trained actor and started working on film sets while still in school.

Their interactions were no longer as strange as before; they became much more harmonious, like good teachers and helpful friends.

Wang Fu, however, didn't think that way off-camera.

He had seen many celebrities, big and small, and all sorts of people, and he had long since noticed that Liu Chun was deliberately putting on an act; such artists were not uncommon.

I wonder if Li Ye noticed it?

"He must have figured it out!" Wang Fu recalled Li Ye's various behaviors and was instantly shocked.

How could someone of Li Ye's age tolerate others acting like know-it-alls in front of him and secretly belittling him?

Li Ye not only tolerated it, but didn't even react much.

Is he really that magnanimous?

Wang Fu didn't believe it; he preferred to believe that Li Ye was quite cunning.

In contrast, Liu Chun's deliberate behavior seemed rather naive and straightforward.

Watching the play and listening to Liu Chun's commentary, time flew by, and before we knew it, it was past four in the afternoon.

Li Ye's limited screen time, yet he managed to hold his own for so long, demonstrates Liu Chun's exceptional eloquence.

Li Ye rubbed his head, feeling somewhat tired, as if knowledge had been forcibly injected into his brain.

After talking for a long time and finishing a bottle of mineral water, Liu Chun couldn't stay idle. After asking Li Ye, he took out Li Ye's guitar and started playing and singing.

After singing a few lines of a popular song, Liu Chun strummed the strings and suddenly said, "Have you been writing any songs lately? I wrote a new one, let me sing it for you."
