Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

This director has worked with many artists, from top-tier celebrities to newcomers.

Generally speaking, most top-tier celebrities, except for a very few who are particularly difficult to work with, are very dedicated.

Newcomers with no reputation are even more apprehensive, afraid that they might do something wrong.

The most difficult to deal with are second- and third-tier artists, as well as those like Li Ye who suddenly become famous.

So the director and his team were prepared to serve the old man.

Soon, Li Ye began filming.

Today's studio shoot is primarily for creating a visually appealing effect.

Tomorrow, Li Ye will be going out to shoot on location, and the more difficult task is that he also has to shoot a short story film.

Li Ye had no experience filming "GG" but was very confident in his acting skills. So after listening to the director's explanation, he thought a lot and deliberately tried to do a good job.

Even in ordinary photos, being too deliberate won't produce good results, let alone in commercial photography.

Seeing Li Ye's performance, the director and staff were all dumbfounded.

The filming is already in such a terrible state right from the start, which clearly shows how difficult it is.

"Very good, very good, Teacher Li, one more time!"

After several takes, the director was too afraid to call on A-Ye, worried that Li Ye would explode: "That was really great! This time, you didn't need to use those exaggerated facial expressions..."

This was Liang Xiaochuan's first time working with this director, but he could tell that the director had a lot to say but didn't dare to say it. He walked over and interrupted, saying, "Director Lu, just say what you have to say. Don't worry, A-Ye is very professional. What he said earlier wasn't just polite talk."

"I understand." Director Lu naturally didn't believe it completely.

Li Ye, who thought he was doing well, realized that all his efforts were a joke and quickly said, "Director, just say whatever you want, really, don't worry about my feelings."

Having said all that, Director Lu hesitated for a moment: "Do you remember what I just said?"

"Great?" Li Ye thought back for a moment.

Ha, you're quite humorous.

Director Lu covered his mouth with his right fist, coughed twice to stop himself from laughing, and said, "Just stand there, don't do anything or make any expressions, just relax as much as possible."

Li Ye awkwardly returned to the green screen, decisively abandoning all the thoughts in his mind, and stood there obediently.

"That's right, that's it, that's fantastic! Just walk a few steps, walk casually, you can even turn around." Director Lu clapped his hands happily.

Li Ye gradually got into the zone.

He discovered a trick: as long as he didn't think about anything and let himself be manipulated, he could get Director Lu's sincere praise.

We temporarily stopped work at 6 p.m.

The chairman of Explorers came to visit the set, treated Li Ye to a casual meal nearby, chatted for a while, and then left in a hurry.

After finishing his meal, Li Ye continued filming until almost nine o'clock before finally wrapping up.

"I was planning to take you out for a walk tonight, but I'm tired."

Slumped in the back seat of the car, Li Ye reached out and patted Li Xiran's head.

In terms of exercise alone, he hadn't been swimming for an hour, but he still felt very tired.

"Uh-huh."

Li Xiran nodded obediently and even reached out to massage Li Ye's shoulders and back.

She always thought celebrities were glamorous, until today she saw her brother constantly doing poses, changing clothes, and touching up his makeup.

Seeing how understanding his younger sister was, Li Ye chuckled and teased her, "Feeling sorry for your brother?"

Startled by the sudden emotional response, Li Xiran hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Li Ye crossed his legs, beckoned Li Xiran closer, and whispered in her ear, "Do you know that your brother can earn five million just by doing this once a year?"

Li Xiran: "..."

The explorer booked a hotel in the city center, providing executive suites and connecting rooms for Li Ye and Li Xiran, while a basic room was booked for his assistant, Chen Hu.

Back at the hotel, Li Ye immediately took a shower, and even though the tent had air conditioning, he was still covered in sweat.

"Brother, your phone is ringing."

Who is it?

Li Xiran, who was watching TV in the living room, had no choice but to run to Li Ye's room to check her phone.

The moment she saw the phone screen, she was stunned. It was Gu Xiaoyu, and it was a video call.

Li Xiran resisted the urge to answer the call and shouted, "Gu Xiaoyu, it's Gu Xiaoyu!"

"Then you answer first, and tell her I'm taking a shower."

"But it's a video."

"fine."

Upon hearing Li Ye's answer, Li Xiran tried her best to control her excited heart and trembling hands, and took a deep breath.

God knows how devastated Gu Xiaoyu felt when she video-called Li Ye and saw a woman on the screen.

Gu Xiaoyu stared wide-eyed, her bright eyes filled with disbelief.

But the next second, she laughed awkwardly.

"Hello, Sister Xiaoyu, my name is Li Xiran, I am Li Ye's younger sister, and my brother is taking a bath." Li Xiran said in a high-pitched voice, in a very formal tone.

"Oh, it's Xiran!"

Gu Xiaoyu naturally remembered Li Xiran's name. After coming to her senses, she was ashamed that she had mistaken a little girl who was obviously underage for another woman!

When Li Ye came out after drying his hair, Li Xiran had already told Gu Xiaoyu everything he had done that day, even what he had eaten and drunk.

Upon seeing Li Ye enter the scene, Gu Xiaoyu immediately said, "You've worked hard, big star!"

Li Ye took the phone, not pushing away Li Xiran who was still reluctantly leaning closer, and asked curiously, "Why are you still putting on makeup so late?"

Gu Xiaoyu wore exquisite makeup, earrings, a necklace, and bright lipstick.

This somewhat matches Li Ye's impression of a wealthy heiress.

"Hey, I just finished a brand event too~"

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoyu rubbed her neck.

She had actually returned to the hotel two hours earlier, but thinking that Li Ye hadn't handed in his homework yet, she thought she could use her beautiful makeup to video chat with him.

Seeing that Li Ye hadn't sent a message by bedtime, Gu Xiaoyu had no choice but to take the initiative to video call him to urge him to submit his homework.

"Does the young lady also need to work this hard?" Li Ye asked casually.

Gu Xiaoyu proudly raised her chin: "Go ask around in the industry, see if anyone says I'm unprofessional!"

Li Ye felt that without even asking around, there would definitely be many people complaining that she was unwilling to film kissing scenes or cooperate with creating a CP (couple pairing) dynamic.

These days, when making a TV series, who doesn't have to eat food?

The target audience loves watching these kinds of things.

"Did you watch the show today? Why are there so many shots of you?"

Gu Xiaoyu feigned dissatisfaction, saying, "Director Liu is biased! He even turned my silly expression into a cartoon meme!"

"Seeing so many people praising you, you must be happy, right?" She squinted her eyes again, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Li Ye grinned: "Hehe."

After chatting for about half an hour, Gu Xiaoyu, still not satisfied, asked Li Ye to hand in his homework.

After learning what homework was, Li Xiran ran to get the photo album before Li Ye could even speak.

Gu Xiaoyu saw the photos Li Ye took of the family's meals, as well as photos of his family, with Li Xiran's photos being the most numerous.

These photos aren't particularly technically sophisticated, yet she seems to be able to feel the overwhelming emotions emanating from them.

"Good job, good job, you're really cherishing it!"

Gu Xiaoyu nodded in satisfaction, then ended the call: "Okay, that's all for now. I need to remove my makeup and take a shower. Bye~"

"Xiran, bye-bye~" She waved her finger at Li Xiran.

He looked so carefree.

It's finally over. Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He should have known better than to agree to Gu Xiaoyu's request.

Does this mean I'll have to check her homework every day from now on?

Li Ye looked up and found Li Xiran looking at him with a complicated expression.

Is this really not a romantic relationship?

Moreover, it seems to me that Gu Xiaoyu is the one actively pursuing my brother.

Li Xiran felt a chill run down her spine upon closer examination.
